Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 443 - 423: Old Liang’s Unique Secret Medicine

"The headline story on the front page of the Mysterious Daily’s Federation Chapter..."

Tang Qi glanced at the noble girl still reading the newspaper, her face that resembled Diana brought no comfort at all, and he could almost imagine the impending storm of fame.

Transcendents, each one wielded power beyond the ordinary person’s imagination.

But that could not change their nature, and as human beings, they possessed a penchant for gossip.

Previously, Tang Qi had trapped and killed two Demigods during the "Immortal Count’s Major Event," and after taking on the role of Witch School Principal, he had drawn some attention, but his fame had remained limited to Secret Phoenix City, with the exception of an interview by Selma.

However, "Divine Eagle National Geography" is a serious magazine, and though it’s distributed across the entire Federation, its audience is not wide.

The Mysterious Daily, on the other hand, is entirely different.

Even by conservative estimates, the name Tang Qi will, after today, be known to Transcendents in at least dozens of cities.

And the image of him trapping and killing Leckter, who almost became the "Shepherd’s God," last night, will also spread, because the shameless Mysterious Daily nearly used up an entire page to record the process and conclusion of his actions.

At the headline, without his consent, they upgraded his title from "Demigod Slayer" to "Evil God Slayer."

It’s only a one-word difference, but the meaning is worlds apart.

To some extent, this is a setup for a takedown.

"A special interview?"

Hearing that, Tang Qi grimaced and hmphed twice.

He was resolved, forget about so-called interviews; in the coming period, the school would be in "Secret Realm Inversion," not receiving any visitors, especially reporters who were to be guarded against.

"Killing Leckter, eliminating the future threat of revenge from an Evil God, obtaining the Angel Fruit, but at the same time exposing Green Dragon Breath and Diana, and gaining fame that shouldn’t have been gained. Strictly speaking, this intervention was a loss."

Thinking to himself, Tang Qi soon let go of his concerns.

The event settled last night, and there was no place for regret, nor did he feel any, as he couldn’t just oversee an enemy he had offended ascend to a divine position, could he?

With his thoughts calming down, Tang Qi glanced once more at the other pages of the Federation Chapter; they were all centered around the major event of last night, focusing on details like Leckter’s background, the source of his power, and the furious Church’s purge of the remaining Shepherd Sect.

Also being purged were the Dark Evil God and the Doomsday Sect, the latter facing a far more furious official response.

If Leckter’s actions could be likened to those of a mad conspirator, a shameless thief and robber,

Then the actions of the Doomsday Sect last night were akin to slapping the Federation Government in the face, an unapologetic humiliation.

They defiled the "Hero Contract" with the souls and blood of thousands of indigenous people, quite a trick for the Doomsday Sect to come up with.

But that piece of history was indeed one of the stains on the Federation.

Aside from these, there were also pages where Artifact Forgers and polymaths invited by the Mysterious Daily were speculating about the "Divine Shedding" that might emerge after Leckter’s death.

Tang Qi glanced over and, finding no mention of his name, felt relieved and casually took the Secret Phoenix Chapter from Gluttony.

A similar headline, just more exaggerated.

Below, light and shadow pulsated, vividly depicting a vote currently taking place in Secret Phoenix City’s Mysterious Side.

Secret Phoenix’s Strongest Transcendent Power Ranking!

Unfortunately, and coincidentally, as he looked,

The top two names on the leaderboard slowly changed.

The name "Tang Qi," previously ranked second, visibly climbed past the final step.

He bumped "William O’Niel" down one spot and ultimately seized the throne as the strongest in Secret Phoenix.

Almost immediately, Tang Qi’s expression darkened, and with a flick of his hand, he restored the newspaper to its original state, causing the noble young reporter girl to dissipate.

"It seems that the period of self-seclusion needs to be extended a bit further."

Tang Qi sighed and proceeded to take out parcels and letters from three friendly forces.

The first thing that appeared was an offer of intelligence sharing from the FBI. Without needing to look closely, just a glance at the thickness of the materials told Tang Qi that his cooperation level within the Investigation Bureau had once again increased, and perhaps top level was no longer out of reach.

In addition to the intelligence, there was also an employment contract, with the position clearly stated as "FBI Special Advisor."

Quickly flipping through, the gist of the contract was to appoint Tang Qi as an advisor, allowing him to enjoy internal stipends and benefits that ordinary Transcendents could never access – a very appealing part-time job.

Similar contracts were found in the parcels sent by the Ancient Castle Bureau and the Secret Phoenix Branch, one in each.

Accompanying the contracts was a list labeled with "internal task bounties."

On it were densely packed task details.

Background information, risk level, and rewards were all clearly marked.

Seeing these documents, Tang Qi’s mood eased up a little.

"This is the benefit of standing in the Neutral Camp. The Witch School itself is neutral, leaning towards order and justice, and my several actions have strictly followed this rule, displaying strength that was lawful and appropriate. Within the Federation and the Church, I would not be tagged as a threat but most likely as a ’cooperative neutral strong figure.’"

"In the future, I can collect... hmm, four salaries, and when bored, accept task rewards from internal missions within the three large organizations to make some extra money."

Suddenly, Tang Qi felt that his enormous fame wasn’t just about negative effects.

His only worry was the revenge of the Cult Organization.

But on reflection, Tang Qi realized that all the cult organizations he had offended seemed to have been destroyed, eliminating future troubles.

After pondering for a moment, he signed his own name on all three contracts.

Then, he opened another letter, which was from the Ancient Castle Bureau.

Jason’s envious and jealous emotions transmitted effectively through the twists and turns of his handwriting. The main message was, "I saw your actions last night, big guy. Take good care of my students. I’m about to undergo the ’Professional Trial,’ and after it’s over, I’ll challenge you to prove that I, Jason, am truly the strongest of the younger Transcendents in Secret Phoenix City."

He didn’t forget to emphasize at the end of the letter that after the Secret Realm reopened, he wanted to invite him and Rafael for a drink, insisting on the most expensive one.

After reading the letter, Tang Qi chuckled softly.

Although he had initiated the "Secret Realm Inversion," there would still be a special passage for Jason and Rafael if they visited.

However, this somewhat childish challenge was indeed more appropriate in written form.

Both of them should be busy now, as Secret Phoenix City was the birthplace of the Ninth Angel. Tang Qi had controlled Diana to kill the Angel Fetus, but the aftermath still required the intervention of the Ancient Castle Bureau.

It seemed from Jason’s letter that he was about to start his trial.

"Touched by the Demon Bloodline, Jason’s Promotion would probably be fundamentally different from that of an ordinary Demon Hunter."

"When he is promoted to Professional Level, I wonder if the Tilos Demon Clan will celebrate by giving him another Magic Bag?"

It seemed that Tang Qi thought of something, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Transcendent’s children with powerful backgrounds were not to be trifled with.

After casually setting the letter down, Tang Qi stood up and walked to the window, admiring the beautiful scene below.

Although he hadn’t been the Principal of the school for long, the Merada Special Education School truly possessed the ambiance of a "Magic School" now, compared to when he first arrived.

Because of his presence, the faces of the students no longer showed fear or confusion but hope and longing instead.

Professor Eva was already designing a more detailed and feasible system, hoping to rationally develop the powers within these students and turn them into qualified and powerful Transcendents.

All around Dragon Heart Castle, Magic Power fluctuations faintly emanated.

The rich mix of different Extraordinary Auras attracted some wild Extraordinary Creatures from the vicinity to come and occasionally play with some of the students.

Those allowed inside the Secret Realm need not worry about safety.

Tang Qi even spotted the figure of a "Black Mountain Beech," using its old tricks to tease the students.

With a smile lingering on his lips, Tang Qi watched for a moment and then remembered something important. He turned around and descended from the fourth floor, leaving the Library Tower to head towards a complex of dormitory towers in the Dragon Heart Castle Upper District designated for teachers.

"Not here?"

Before long, Tang Qi observed the closed door in front of him, realizing he had made a futile trip.

After a brief moment with closed eyes, feedback came into his mind.

Casually reaching out, he sliced open the door, revealing a cold and damp forest on the other side.

As Tang Qi stepped out from the ghost light, a familiar sound immediately reached his ears.

Loud and orderly like a military song, but it quickly became chaotic.

"Yo-ho-ho~ ho-ho!"

"Yo-ho-ho~ ho-ho!"

"Don’t run, you foolish Mushroom Men! Hand over those delicious spores to Grandpa Big Mouth, as Big Mouth is hungry and wants to eat your Trippy Spores."

"Wow~"

"So scary! So scary!"

"That’s really scary! Really scary!"

...

Amid the clamor, the next moment what Tang Qi saw was a "Big Mouth Pitcher Plant" chasing after a bunch of frantically fleeing Trippy Mushroom Men, flailing its tiny roots in an incredibly comical chase, with Selma and her several plant dolls feeling helpless behind.

Before Selma could speak, the Pitcher Plant that first spotted Tang Qi immediately called out without restraint.

"You beast—ahem, the powerful Mr. Principal, please help me catch a few Trippy Mushroom Men. Their spores are super delicious. What about a fifty-fifty split between you and me? If you don’t like eating them, you can use them to concoct Secret Medicines. Big Mouth will help you for free! A batch of Trippy Secret Medicine, simply indispensable when going out, especially for dealing with women."

"That’s Old Liang’s secret recipe, even Little Selma doesn’t know the formula. I’ll give it to you for free, now help me catch the Mushroom Men."

Right as Tang Qi was about to do something, after hearing this voice, the corner of his mouth involuntarily twitched again.

Behind it, Selma’s entire face turned red with embarrassment, while the Little Tree Man and Affectionate Dandelion couldn’t help but cover their faces with their branches and leaves in shame.

"So embarrassing!"

In a clearing within the forest, Selma’s face still held a hint of embarrassment, while the Pitcher Plant, its mouth stuffed with a chunk of flaming red meat but still winking lewdly at Tang Qi, communicated in their specific "wuu wuu" language with Gluttony, another one of the Transcendent creatures with no sense of decorum. The Little Tree Man and the Dandelion distanced themselves to indicate they had nothing to do with this shameless, vulgar-talking plant doll.
