The Genius Mage

However, this was a piece of cake for Audrey.

“It’s not a pity. It would be a waste if we don’t drink it,” she snorted and said nonchalantly as she stuffed the potions into their mouths.

A level-10 recovery potion was enough to completely heal their injuries.

The few of them took the potions and drank them. Their injuries began to slowly heal. Taking this opportunity, they began to adjust themselves and think of ways to return.

Back then, the Elder only said that they could use the token to send a message when they were in danger and return to the Templar Knights. That was equivalent to giving up on the competition. If they wanted to truly win the competition, they had to find the Snow Lotus and find a way to return.

If they relied on the Elder to return, even if they managed to get the Snow Lotus, they would still fail the challenge.

“Staying here isn’t a solution either. When I went to investigate just now, I found a cave over there. It’s completely different from the snow and ice outside. Let’s go there to rest for a period of time,” Audrey suggested when she saw that everyone was not in good spirits.

Although the cave was cold, it would be warmer with her magic. At least it was better than being exposed to the snow.

“That’s great. I just want to find a hidden place.” Klein immediately agreed.

Although they were strong, they were not invincible. They had been exhausted during the journey. At this moment, they urgently needed a safe place to rest.

“We do need a good rest before we find a way back,” Adrian said.

The few of them nodded in agreement, and Audrey led the way to the cave.

It was snowy and icy outside, but inside the cave, water was flowing and rocks were everywhere. Audrey could not help but feel that this place was very mysterious. There must be some secret that no one knew about.

Could it be related to that crystal ball?

“Why do I feel that this place is colder than the outside?” The moment they entered the cave, they shivered. Kate frowned as he spoke.

Cole, who was at the side, nodded and covered his clothes tightly. “It’s bone-piercing cold.”

Seeing this, Audrey immediately chanted an incantation. “Please make the surroundings warm up.”

Immediately, the cold air in the cave began to slowly dissipate and the warmth invaded. The few of them calmed down and found a flat place to sit down.

“It’s really strange. It was very cold just now, and now it’s quite warm.” Cole did not know that Audrey had secretly cast a spell, so he said this.

“Everyone, just rest here. If you need any potions or help, just let me know at any time. Don’t be polite,” Audrey looked at the few of them calmly and said in a low voice.

She had brought a lot of potions as preparations, and she had also picked a lot of herbs in the snow mountain, so she could refine potions on the spot.

“Alright, Audrey. Can you give me a bottle of elevation potion? I feel like I’ll be able to level up soon,” Adrian nodded and said hesitantly. After all, it was the first time he had asked someone for potions.

As the direct descendant of the five great families, he usually had everything he wanted.

“Of course,” Audrey replied with a chuckle. She was already very satisfied that someone could speak.

A team could only grow faster and breakthrough better if they were not shy and helped each other.

Audrey unceremoniously gave Adrian a bottle of level-20 potion. Although Adrian’s strength was not bad, to begin with, this level-20 potion could still provide him with a lot of help.

“Audrey, give me another bottle of recovery potion.”

“I want a bottle of nutrient potion.”

…

The few of them spoke one after another. Audrey acted generously.

After taking the potion, everyone found a place to adjust and cultivate. Audrey was no exception.

She deliberately found a relatively remote place and planned to study the crystal ball.

At this moment, the crystal ball was only crystal clear blue. It did not emit any light, but it was enough to attract Audrey’s gaze. She held the crystal ball in her hand and studied it carefully.

“What exactly are you? Where did you come from?” Audrey muttered to herself.

The crystal ball did not have any reaction. Audrey suddenly remembered that it seemed to be able to absorb her blood, so she immediately squeezed out some blood from her wound and dripped it on the crystal ball.

Just like before, the blood quickly entered the crystal ball and dissolved inside.

The crystal ball also emitted a blue light.

Just like that? Audrey frowned slightly. Could it be that this crystal ball was just a strange thing that sucked blood?

Then, she did not want it. How much blood would she have to absorb?

After some research, Audrey was not able to come up with an answer. She wanted to use her combat aura to see what was inside and where the blood had gone.

Therefore, she injected some combat aura and magic energy into the crystal ball. The crystal ball suddenly flashed, and the blue light was several times more dazzling than before. Audrey subconsciously closed her eyes tightly.

It seemed to be very warm beside her, and there was also the smell of flowers.

Audrey opened her eyes and looked around in surprise. It seemed to be a peach forest, with green grass and peach flowers everywhere. However, it was not just peach flowers. There were many other species. Not far away, there was a bubbling hot spring that looked like boiling water.

“What is this place?” Audrey mumbled and asked.

Looking ahead, there was a layer of fog. She could not see the end at all.

Audrey got up and walked around the place. She could only feel that the air was filled with natural elements. They were very dense, even more abundant than the elements in her little house.

Could this place be an otherworldly realm?

She had read about it in an ancient book in her previous life. An otherworldly realm was something that only extremely powerful people could create. It was like an independent spatial world with pure and thick elements.
