Perhaps Elder Alexander was right, and Ricky's set of casting skills surpassed that of a casting master of inferior Mortal Level. It was the remarkable Chaos Manual and his powerful reclaimed spiritual meridian that allowed him to make outstanding progress.
Ricky had the ability to gradually improve his casting skill, merely because he continued cultivating and comprehending the Chaos Manual.
That was also the reason why Ricky believed that his regained spiritual meridian formed part of a kind of inheritance.
However, even with his incredible casting skill, Ricky hadn't tried forging any weapon of intermediate Mortal Level.
That was the reason why Ricky said honestly, "Elder Alex, I admit that you're right. My casting skill level has already exceeded the inferior Mortal Level. However, I haven't had a chance to cast a weapon at the intermediate stage of Mortal Level."
"Well, I think before coming here, you should have considered and prepared yourself for attending the intermediate Mortal Level Casting Appraisal, as the appraisal is not that easy this time around," Elder Alexander explained.
"Elder Alex, could you please make it more clear to me?" Ricky asked curiously.
"You are acquainted with Andrew, right? Isn't he the mastermind who arranged the plot to play tricks on you this time? I also owe you an apology. Even though I'm the first Elder of the Casting Guild, I'm not capable of suppressing his parents whatsoever. Besides, my strength can almost be aligned with theirs."
"Elder Alex, I understand!" Ricky nodded.
"Although Andrew looks... well, you know; his casting skills are extraordinary and better than that of any other warrior in the Casting Guild. As for my disciple, Kayla, her skill is far less powerful than his!" Elder Alexander added, "Recently, the Casting Guild's chief received a Magic Spirit Stone! Our chief has decided to award this Magic Spirit Stone to the number one disciple with superb casting skills, accompanied with the purpose to encourage the disciples of the Casting Guild.
So, the intermediate Mortal Level Casting Appraisal is actually a competition. The one who shows the most extraordinary casting skill during the appraisal can win the Magic Spirit Stone."
"Oh, I see. By the way, what's the function of the Magic Spirit Stone?" Ricky asked.
"The Magic Spirit Stone is a kind of Treasure from Heaven and Earth. It can enhance the stage of a Blood Purification warrior's spiritual meridian. At the same time, it can also improve the warrior's comprehension and the talent for casting," Elder Alexander remarked.
"It's so magical!" Upon learning how remarkable the Magic Spirit Stone was, Ricky shouted with excitement. He was eager to attain such a wonderful treasure.
"Are you interested in it?" Elder Alexander uttered while glaring at Ricky.
"Elder Alex, it's truly fantastic, and that is why I'm sure that all warriors of Blood Purification are interested in it!" Ricky responded gently.
"Yes. However, the mere idea that it may be owned by either Andrew or somebody else in the future, is a pity," Elder Alexander stated, sighing heavily. It was obvious that he didn't want this to happen.
"Ricky, if you were born a mere six month earlier, you would likely have had enough strength and power to retrieve the Magic Spirit Stone."
"Elder Alex, would you be so kind as to teach me the casting experience or skills at the intermediate Mortal Level during the next few days?" Ricky asked, with a determined and serious look in his eyes.
"That depends... Would you like to participate in the Casting Appraisal? It takes place in only three days," Elder Alexander responded to Ricky with a look of surprise.
"Yes, I would like to try. I'm ready to experience this exciting and challenging endeavor!" Ricky laughed.
"Ha-ha. Well, okay then. If you're that determined, I would like to see your understanding of the casting skill!" Elder Alexander said with a smile, hearing that Ricky wanted to attempt it at the challenge.
He didn't believe it, nor that Ricky was eager to attain the Magic Spirit Stone!
He also agreed to share his casting skill with Ricky, as he was eager to train a genius like Ricky to become a great casting master. He was particularly interested in Ricky's incredible Pounding Skill.
After getting Elder Alexander to agree to teach him, Ricky returned to his place and told Elder Samuel that he was set to learn the casting skill from Elder Alexander during the following three days.
Elder Samuel immediately commanded him to work hard. He wanted him to try his best to attain more knowledge from Elder Alexander and warned him not to displease Elder Alexander.
After saying goodbye to Elder Samuel, Ricky returned to Elder Alexander's yard again.
