Author note: Thank you everyone for your messages, I read them and find them interesting. Here's the chapter, hope you enjoy!
Inside the carriage, Mi Liu and Luo Fei were both sitting facing each other while Mi Yun'er was sitting next to him. No one spoke in the carriage and the silence was a little awkward. Luo Fei decided to break it and finally spoke.
"...So, from what I heard earlier, you also need magic stones right? I have a rare one with me take it with you."
Luo Fei took out an emerald magic stone out of his pocket and showed it to Mi Liu. The crystal was emitting a stronger light than any others magic stones he saw until now, he was truly interested and wanted to accept the gift, but accepting it was too much. Even if he were to accept the present, he already knew the meaning behind those words and shook his head while saying.
"Thank you mister, but I cannot take such a precious gift when mister already helped me and I cannot take anything further, it would be impolite."
Luo Fei already guessed that Mi Liu was going to refuse the offer and honestly told him the truth while laughing loudly.
"Hahaha! I like you young boy. Honestly, I don't mind giving you this magic stone. But since young master doesn't want to accept my gift, then don't you mind trading this emerald against one of the dagger that this young miss is holding?"
Mi Liu looked at the dagger that Luo Fei was glaring. He nodded then ask to Mi Yun'er.
"Yun'er do you mind trading the dagger?"
Mi Yun'er was hesitant for a moment then nodded her head then said with an affirmative tone.
"This is master gift. Whatever master want to do with it, my opinion doesn't matter."
Mi Liu was amazed. He didn't really know this girl called Mi Yun'er. It was a living being created by the doll system but where does this loyalty came from? Mi Liu sighed then said.
"Don't say that. Once I give you something, this is your belonging. Sorry for asking you something stupid. If you don't want to trade it just say it."
Mi Liu directed his glare towards Luo Fei and said with a regretful tone.
"As you can see mister, she doesn't want to accept your offer."
Luo Fei didn't say anything and stared at Mi Liu. If he can't get the weapon, at least having some information about the creator was still useful. Luo Fei suppress his depression inside his mind and asked with a regretful expression.

"That's really unfortunate. It can't be helped. Maybe is that possible to know who could possibly make that kind of weapons?"
Luo Fei somehow guessed that the discussion was going to turn in this way and waved his hand while saying.
"Yeah sure, that's me."
"................................."
Luo Fei didn't wink and stared at Mi Liu for a short moment amazed. He just couldn't believe what he just heard, his body was trembling and his astonished expression could be seen easily. He glanced once again at the dagger examining and after few minutes regained his composure then bombarded him with question and ask with full of curiosity.
"So, you made this weapon. Did you make others weapons? Can you show them to me? How did you make it? Can I try it?"
Watching Luo Fei's eyes that sparked and was totally curious about how in the world Mi Liu could make such goods weapons, Mi Liu was amazed that even though Luo Fei was an expert magus, his attitude was sometimes like a young child that still didn't grow up. He laughed inside his mind while summoning his second creation, the Saber Flame Sword. Suddenly a light emitted in front of Mi Liu and the sword appeared in his hand.
"Can I have that magic stone now?"
Mi Liu asked Luo Fei while showing his sword to Luo Fei. Luo Fei watched Mi Liu totally amazed 'Chantless... On top of that I didn't feel any magic power... What a truly mysterious child. Guho Empire absolutely need this child.' Luo Fei glared at Mi Liu with such thought and after inspecting the sword trying to find the making process but couldn't find a clue about it. After remembered Mi Liu last question he finally regained his composure and said.
"Yes, sorry I was too much absorbed by the sword. You can also have those others magic stones even though they are not good. If someday young master wanted to sell his weapons to me, you can come my villa whenever you want."
Luo Fei handed the magic stones and the rare emerald magic stone to Mi Liu. Mi Liu putted the magic stones in the space-ring and bowed toward Luo Fei giving his thanks. Luo Fei's interest and curiosity towards Mi Liu increased as the carriage slowly arrive to Guho Capital.

Guho Capital
Guho Capital is located at the South-East on the Western Kingdom of Doulao and is the capital of the Guho empire. It's the largest human city of the Guho empire. However, the city-state also controls or influences other territories, which include Yulao Mountains, Guan Mountains, and Darkwoods. Occasionally, a sudden squall created by a ley line pattern in the mountains surround the glorious city. Guho Capital is one of the 5 great human cities.

Inside Guho Capital, 6 leaders' clan including Luo Fei are the main forces of the capital. excepted for Luo Fei who build the school, the 5 others clan had more than over 2000 disciple cultivating becoming future qi or magic fighters. Each clan including Luo Fei got their own private villa and harsh training awaiting them every day. Inside the Guho Academy, over 500'000 students are studying their cultivation and magic power. The students can also study magical device, blacksmithing, economics and few others things.
Every year, a total of more than a million of people are taking the admission test to study in the Guho Academy. People who couldn't passed the test could came back the next year and retake the admission. There is 2 way to enter in the Guho Academy. But most people would take the first method since it didn't required money to take part of it. The first method was to come at the admission test and calculate his qi energy or magic power. The average level for commoners and people without talent for cultivation was around 1~200 soul force. If you're soul force is below 200, those people would mostly have nearly 0 percent chance to become expert fighter in their whole life. The average people were around 300~600 soul force and one could be considered as genius after breaking through 700 soul force. The second method was only affordable for nobles. One needed to pay 25 gold coins for the entrance fee and only show a spell or ability strong enough to impress the judge then get accepted into the academy.
In front the Guho Academy's entrance, Mi Liu and Mi Yun'er left Luo Fei and went for sightseeing. The admission was held in 3 days, but Mi Liu needed to break though level 10 in order to take part to the admission. Since he decided to choose the second method, he need an ability strong enough to get accepted and had already an idea about what to do during the admission's test.
Right now, Mi Liu had 150 gold left from the treasury. He had spent around 130 gold staying at Guwan City and he needed somehow to break though level 10 to started cultivating medicinal plants. Once he can sell his weapons and created strong pills, he will be able to gather more money and buy stronger magic stones. He decided to visit each weapons and armors shop of the capital and headed towards the magic stones shop. Once he finished his shopping, he headed towards an inn not far away from the academy and once in his room, entered inside his private house.
Once Mi Liu entered in the private house he opened his space-ring and took out all the weapons and armors he bought arriving in the capital. He also took out the emerald magic stone and 3 others magic stones.
Analyzing the weapons, armors and magic stones...
Armor gear is now available in the Weapon Creation.
Katana is now available in the shop. Katana is unlocked at level 10.
Jade Thunder Panther, magic stone level 10... You have level up! You are now level 8.
You have leveled up! You are now level 9.
Bat Blood-Eater, magic stone level 3...
Magic Fox, magic stone level 4...
Shadow Eagle, magic stone level 5...
You have leveled up! You are now level 10. Congrats! You finally reach level 10!
Weapon Creation upgraded. Garden is unlocked. Your limit of doll has increased by 2.
'Magus' fighters and 'Support' class are unlocked.
Your dolls now can learn skill and ultimate skill depending the level of your doll.
You have unlocked the 'Training Ground'. You can give skill to your dolls from 'Training Ground'.
So much information was given to Mi Liu, he was shocked. I didn't expect that his dolls could now learn skills but he also unlocked 2 news types of dolls and his limit of dolls increased by 2. You could clearly see the difference once you reach every ten level. It was so much beneficial that it was literally a cheat. Mi Liu directed inside the cave and activated his Weapon Creation.

Come with me to travel and discover all this in... Magic x Magic... - - / - Hey, guys! I want to tell everyone that I managed to recreate a text structure that satisfied me. Finding this new structural formula, I proceeded to rewrite all the released chapters (0000~0048). Rewriting the chapters, I would like to make it clear that; 1 The basis of the story will not change. Only a few small details will be changed, so that those readers who do not want to re-read the chapters will not be harmed in following the story. 2 Those interested in starting over will be rewarded with the introduction of new POVs of some already established plots from the already released chapters. And as I said before, the entire story already developed will not change. Treat this as a way of enriching some plots and backstories for some characters. 3 I decided to bring some plots that would only appear after finishing the first arc. These storylines don't have a development in this arc, but they are storylines that are happening at the same time as the events of the first arc. So there are some more mysteries to reward those who will re-read the novel. Rewrite Update:New Reading Aid Rule: Incomplete.Prologue to Book 01 (Arc 01): Incomplete.Rewritten Chapters: 0000. I want to warn you that for now the chapters are being released gradually, don't give up on me... For more details visit my Patreon page, you can find details about me and the novel 'Magic x Magic' in public posts. A big hug to everyone!Cover art by me, ScanLi.
