“That’s right, I’m your Old Ancestor! Kid, you’re quite impressive. You have actually recognized me instantly. I had thought that you would be so entrapped by love that you would not even recognize me,” Romo said in a pleased manner.

“I… I am not…” Ron said, embarrassed.

“It’s good that you aren’t. She’s just a woman. A man’s ambition lies in the four directions. How can you be entrapped by the word ‘love’? You have to pull yourself together immediately. Otherwise, you’re not fit to be a member of the Nicholas family clan,” Romo reprimanded.

“But I’m currently ....” Ron had also wanted to pull himself together, but it had been two years and he had not been able to restore a single magic rune, so he could hardly see any hope.

“Don’t worry, it’s just restoring magic runes. I’m here to help you,” said Romo as he had seen through Ron’s thoughts.

Ron looked at Romo and said in shock, “Old Ancestor, how did you know that my magic runes had been broken?”

Romo smiled and said, “Haha, there’s nothing in the Nicholas family clan that I don’t know. Not only do I know that your magic runes have all been broken, I also know that you have continued to meditate and endure the pain daily to try to restore your magic runes.”

“What? You knew all that?” said Ron, shocked.

Romo replied, “I am your Old Ancestor. Of course, I know everything. I even knew who had injured you. I will help you recover and quickly increase your strength. By then, what can a mere Great Mage do? I, your Old Ancestor, can even help you advance to become a Great Archmage or even a Divine Mage. When the time comes, you can go and find those who have bullied you, beat them up till they kneel down and address you as ‘Father’. Let them know the might of our Nicholas family clan. Also, if your little fiancée dares to break off the engagement and look down on you, you can just break off the engagement. You can then tell her that one’s fortunes may change like how a river flows east for 30 years and then flows west for 30 years, and not to bully the poor in his youth! If you still can’t vent your anger, then make a three-year pact with her. After three years, go straight and tear down that Sky Blue Magic Academy!”

The more Romo spoke, the more excited he became. Even the Sky Blue Magic Academy in the dream was reduced to dust by Romo’s anger. Looking at the scene, Ron’s expression became weird. He immediately interrupted Romo in a low voice, “Old Ancestor Romo.”

“What is it?”

“Actually…” Ron tried to explain, “Actually, Serena and I are in love with each other. It’s not like what you’re saying. She won’t look down on me or break the engagement.”

“Huh? What’s going on? Under normal circumstances, isn’t it always the girl who wants to end the engagement? Why is this not going according to the usual rules?”

Romo analyzed it for Ron and said, “Ron, look, you haven’t seen her for two years. Can you really guarantee that she won’t change her mind?”

“Well, I believe her,” said Ron, his gaze steady.

Romo was speechless. He was still young and inexperienced. He did not know that women were the most fickle.

Romo said, “Alright, since you trust her so much, when you recover from your injuries later, don’t tell anyone first. When your little fiancée comes back, let’s see her attitude first. What do you think?”

“Certainly, but…” Ron said excitedly, “Old Ancestor, can my injuries really be healed?”

Romo replied, “Of course. If I, the Old Ancestor, intervene, what else cannot be done? It’s just a case of broken magic runes. Old Ancestor, I , can heal you with just any of my Magic Pills.”

“Really?” Ron asked excitedly. It had not occurred to him that the problem, which had plagued him for two years, could be so easily healed by his Old Ancestor.

“Of course it’s true. Here is a Magic Essence Pill. You’ll recover immediately after you ingest it.” After he had finished speaking, a pill emitting a strong medicinal fragrance floated in front of Ron.

Ron received the pill excitedly. He had been trying to find ways to recover from his injuries, so he had naturally wanted to try first to use a Magic Pill. He knew that there was a Magic Pill called the Magic Essence Pill, which could treat all injuries in the Mage realm, provided the person was still alive. Once after the person had consumed it, he would be instantly healed. This was regarded as a divine pill! Unfortunately, the Magic Essence Pill was a grade-3 Magic Pill that cost at least thousands of Magic Stones. It was shockingly exorbitant. Even by selling the entire Nicholas family clan, he could not afford such a pill. Hence, he could only sigh at the sight of the pill. He had never expected that the Old Ancestor would really give him such a pill.

“Thank you, Old Ancestor!” Ron said gratefully as he knelt down and kowtowed.

“Alright, alright. Quick, get up. It’s only a medicinal pill, and you have knelt down and kowtowed. If you know what I’m going to teach you next, won’t you break your head?”

“What else do you want to teach me, Old Ancestor?” said Ron excitedly.

Romo replied, “Of course it’s a cultivation technique. Your current cultivation technique is too lousy. Even if you were to recover from your injuries, your current cultivation speed is also too slow. I, the Old Ancestor, will teach you a high-grade silver-tier cultivation technique. With this cultivation technique, you will be able to cultivate and reap twice the results with half the effort. Very soon, you will catch up with your fiancée and even surpass her.”

Romo then imparted to Ron the Wave Meditation Technique which was produced by the System. Very quickly, the Wave Meditation Technique was thoroughly imprinted in his mind, such that he had no doubts about the technique. Romo then imparted to him many of the magical skills he had mastered and also some of the key pointers relating to cultivation.

...

In Ron’s room, Ron suddenly sat up. The blank look in his eyes soon receded, followed by a hint of disappointment.

“Ah, so it was just a dream. If only it was real.”

Ron thought gloomily, but at this moment, his nose twitched and he smelled a strong medicinal fragrance. He looked for the source of the fragrance and was pleasantly surprised to see a pill which had been given to him by the Old Ancestor in his dream.

Magic Essence Pill! It was real! Ron was ecstatic.

Then, he thought for a while. Indeed, the cultivation techniques imparted to him by Old Ancestor in his dream were all clearly imprinted in his mind. Especially the Wave Meditation Technique. That was a high-grade silver-tier meditation technique. However, he could not cultivate it yet. He had to recover from his injuries first. So, he picked up the Magic Essence Pill and placed it directly into his mouth.

Immediately, the Magic Essence Pill melted into a fragrant liquid and slid down his throat. Then, it emitted a powerful energy. In just a short moment, he could sense that all the hidden injuries in his body had instantly healed. Ron was overjoyed. This was indeed real.. He dared not delay and immediately sat down cross-legged and began to meditate.
