Robbery?

"At the current speed, I will be able to complete the first refinement in five days at most!"

"It can be done faster though. The techniques that I have comprehended may not be truly optimized, so I should continue to ponder over them!"

"Only in this way can I complete the tempering of the golden bones faster!"

Natasha decisively entered the state of forgetting the all things in the world including oneself, and she continued to comprehend the techniques while tempering her bones.

The next day, Natasha got the processed lion's fur, and the tonic prepared by pharmacist Franky.

"Sure enough, my tempering speed has become faster!"

"I must buy more precious medicine and herbs, so as to make more tonics to strengthen cultivation speed!"

Natasha was very excited.

If she could maintain her current speed, she would complete the first refinement in two and a half days.

After completing her training, she found the manager of the Brande family's trading company and asked him to purchase the precious medicine.

"Money doesn't grow on trees! Why did you buy so many precious medicines?!"

During lunch time, Malcom couldn't help scolding Natasha, feeling that she was very wasteful.

"The medicines in the store house have almost been used up you!"

"You prodigal daughter, do you want to piss your father off to death?"

"Such medicine is not only precious but it is also rare, if you ask people to buy so much at once, are you not afraid that others won't raise price?"

"When people know that you a silly girl is doing such a big acquisition, they will definitely increase the price in order to make a profit!"

This was the second time she was being reprimanded.

Natasha also knew that her move would bring some losses to her family, but now that becoming an apprentice mage was in her sight, no matter how high the price was, she would pay it!

If she loses some money, then so be it.

As long as she can get started with the magic path and truly become her teacher's student, what does it matter if she loses a little money?

Natasha looked at her mother as if asking for help.

"Mom!"

Malcom's face immediately turned green with anger and said angrily:

"Don't call for your mother, I have the final say on this matter!"

"What are you being so loudly? You're scaring my baby girl!"

When Natasha's mother saw her precious daughter, begged for help using her eyes, her heart immediately softened.

When she starred at her husband with dissatisfaction, Malcom almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Honey, you can't…"

Sophia frowned and interrupted him.

"Husband, it's just a little money, as long as Natasha wants it., can't we spend this little money?"

"Of course not! Although money doesn't really matter…"

"Do you only have money in your eyes?! That's our daughter!"

"I…"

Natasha's was discouraged.

"Mom, you are the best!"

Natasha flattered.

Her father glare at her while he could only acquiesce to her purchase of the precious medicine at a high price.

…

"The first golden bone refinement is about to be completed!"

Natasha focused on the giant mana snake that was coiling around the bones, and the mana that had penetrated into the bones had been squeezed into the bone marrow.

A numb feeling came, and at a certain moment, with a bang, the mana snake poured into the bones and entered the bone marrow.

In an instant, Natasha felt a huge surge of energy and blood, as blood all over her body seemed to be reborn, and her whole body seemed to be in a state of sublimation.

She had finally reached first golden bone refinement!

As her mana got stronger and stronger, a layer of sticky, dark purple impurities appeared all over her body.

At a certain moment, her whole body suddenly felt relaxed, and the bones all over her body turned into a light golden color.   

Natasha felt that he had become stronger.

If she were to fight the red eyed lion with her current strength, she would be able to blow its head off with one punch!

"Is this the level of golden bones?"

Natasha clenched her fist, feeling like her body was filled with strength, and her mana that had more than doubled.

Moreover, she felt that her mana was now more purer and more powerful!

"How powerful will I be once I complete the nine refinements of the golden bones?!"

Natasha was full of expectations.

"My body is so dirty, I should go and wash off."

Natasha came out of the secret room, changed her clothes, and washed off the impurities on her body.

…

On the twelfth day after returning to the Brande family.

In a secret room, Natasha's who was seating cross legged suddenly spoke.

"I have reached the fifth refinement of the golden bones! "

These days, she relied on the tonics made front he red eyed lion and once again understood the techniques better, which made her tempering speed increase once again.

During this time, impurities were removed from her body every time she completed a refinement.

Due to this, her whole body and mana were almost completely pure!

"With my current strength, I can kill even the strongest knights in the world with a single punch!"

Natasha was very excited.

Based on what she knew so far, the current Knights in the world were too fragile for her.

Even the most famous and strongest knights would probably be killed by a punch from her.

"Don't be arrogant, guard against arrogance and impetuosity. There must be other mages in this world, but they should just be hidden very well and may not show their whereabouts at ordinary times!"

Natasha warned herself in her heart.

"I should head back tomorrow."

Natasha walked out of the secret room and made the preparations to return to the small mountain village tomorrow.

…

"Tomorrow will be exactly half a month since Natasha left, that silly girl should be coming back, right?"

Matthew stood on the hillside, sighing.

Once that silly apprentice left, he had to do all the chores by himself, and his life was no longer as leisurely.

"The ferocious mana beasts in the evil forest should be killed, right?"

"Of course, the premise is that my stupid student could leave smoothly without being trapped in the evil forest."

Matthew still felt a little worried.

"I don't know what's going on, but I feel like my body has become stronger."

"Is the effect of the effect of medicine really so strong?"

In the past half month, Matthew felt that his body had become stronger again.

He once even wondered if he had a hidden system.

In the end, he figured that he was just overthinking, he concluded that it was the effect of those precious medicines brought by Natasha.

He sighed In his heart, the nourishing power of this world's precious medicine is really good.

Natasha left the city on a tall horse, with two large packages hanging on the horse's back.

The two packages contained the precious medicine needed for her cultivation and the precious fur of the red eyed lion.

"The young lady of the Brande family is going to search for a mage again."

"It looks like she is bringing a precious gift with her."

Seeing Natasha passing by on horseback, people started gossiping.

The stupid daughter of the richest family was going to look for an mage again.

Natasha dismissed these remarks, pride in her heart.

'How could a group of frogs at the bottom of a well know how vastness of the world?'

After leaving the city, Natasha immediately discovered that the guards from her family were following her.

It must be that her parents were afraid that she would encounter danger, so they asked the guards from home to secretly protect her.

But in her opinion, strength of these guards was too weak.

After riding for more than ten miles, Natasha finally managed to get rid of the guards by doing a few tricks.

After confirming that no one was following her, Natasha started going in the direction of the s mall mountain village.

The small town near village was already in sight, and Natashawas going to rest in the small town before heading into the forest to the small mountain village.

Suddenly, a figure came jumped up behind, and landed firmly in front of Natasha's horse, blocking her way.

Natasha frowned, judging from the opponent's speed, he was already a top-notch knight.

It seemed that he was coming to her with bad intentions.

"Hey, you little girl from the Brande family, I finally found you."

"I won't talk nonsense with you, put down the precious medicine and I might spare your life!"

The person blocking her way was a tall and thin man, seemingly in his forties.
