Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

[Star and Moon Basic Meditation Method: Beginner (75/200)]

One potion increased my proficiency by a full 3 points!!!

Other apprentices don't have a panel, so their utilization and absorption of potions are definitely not as good as his.

He was thrilled and rushed to the laboratory.

He also needs to confirm the success rate of refining the potion.

After another flurry of activity, Ian looked at the three vials of medicine in his hand with a shocked expression.

He just successfully refined it three times in a row!

It's as if the system has frozen the moment he successfully refined it onto the panel, so that he will never fail again in the future.

Other potion makers can earn magic stones continuously as long as their success rate exceeds 20%.

The biggest cost of the "Awakening Potion" is Moonlight Grass and Magic Catalyst Powder.

The latter was made by an alchemist and is a type of universal magic powder.

All costs combined amount to less than 1 magic stone, but the finished product can be sold for 5 magic stones.

This shows just how lucrative potion-making is.

Countless people want to make a living in this field, but unfortunately, the barriers to entry are too high, leaving them with the desire but not the means.

Looking at the large pile of herbs on the ground, plus the ones Simon had left behind multiple times.

He picked out some adulterated ingredients and estimated that he could still make about a hundred more vials of the medicine.

For a novice potion master, being able to refine ten potions is already considered a very good achievement.

"Hehe! Simon, thanks a lot too!"

He wouldn't have collected so many medicinal herbs if the other party hadn't repeatedly pressured him to sell them.

"As for the magic stones owed to him..."

Ian lowered his head in thought. The Tower's rules explicitly forbade apprentices from killing each other without permission.

However, they can learn from each other, and they can determine the appropriate level of understanding themselves.

Since the place was in a remote location, he still had to be wary of Simon's ruthless methods.

However, the thought of the bodyguard hired for five magic stones brought him a little more peace of mind.

He checked the time; it was already late at night.

After a quick wash, I lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, early in the morning.

Ian went out and went to Kenner's place again.

"Brother Kenna, I'm here again."

"Come on in, the door's unlocked," Kenner replied from inside the house.

After Ian went inside, he saw Kenna in the courtyard, practicing with a two-handed greatsword.

He was tall, but his agility was in no way diminished.

With a flash, the heavy greatsword in his hand became like a withered tree, dancing in the wind.

Ian watched for a while, nodding in agreement.

Kenna's greatsword weighs at least ten kilograms. An ordinary person would find it difficult to use it in battle, let alone carry it for a long time.

"Why aren't you focusing on your cultivation and potion-making? What are you doing here?"

Kenna practiced for a while, then stopped, turned around, and went into the house.

Ian followed him into the house and, without saying a word, immediately pulled out a vial of medicine.

"Brother Kenna, this is the 'Clarity Potion' I promised you. I managed to get one last night."

Kenna paused, turned around, took the medicine, and examined it closely.

"Great, it's definitely genuine. Looks like you've really succeeded. Congratulations!"

Kenna carefully put away the medicine, his expression complex, and his tone noticeably different from before.

"That Simon guy, I warned you a long time ago not to get too close to him, but you just wouldn't listen."

"I was also blinded by greed before, and now I still need to trouble you."

Ian knew that the original owner of this body only listened to kind words and did not heed Kenna's reminder.

"I can only shield you from this once; after that, you'll have to handle it yourself."

"One time is enough, thank you so much, Brother Kenna!"

Ian knew that it was already quite an achievement to have reached this point.

After all, everyone comes here for the purpose of cultivation, and the goal is to break through to become a formal wizard.

After returning home, Ian pulled out more than a dozen thick books from the corner of his bed.

A Beginner's Guide to the Star and Moon Meditation Method

The Zero-Level Wizardry Compendium

Detailed Explanation of Low- to Mid-Level Potion Refining

The Complete Guide to Basic Potions

Magic Safety Rules and Common Backlash Cases

……

Apart from Potion Identification and Pharmacy, all the other books are distributed to each new student by the academy after tuition is paid.

He looked at the several zero-level spells and pondered them carefully for a while.

I chose the only offensive spell: Lesser Frost Ray.

He didn't expect to master it immediately, but he needed to start preparing.

After carefully reviewing the entire witchcraft, the panel reacted.

Secondary Frost Ray: Beginner (0/50)

He began by following the spellbook, first familiarizing himself with the incantations and gestures.

The principle behind the release of magic is that the corresponding spell gestures resonate with the will runes in the mind, drawing out magical power.

Once you're familiar with it, you can try reducing the number of hand gestures used in the spell to significantly shorten the casting time.

Ian started off haltingly, reciting a short incantation with gestures for a long time.

The release naturally failed, but he was not discouraged.

[Secondary Frost Ray Proficiency +1]

Seeing the reminder flash across his face, Ian nodded to himself and continued practicing.

Each time a spell fails, the panel will provide some positive feedback.

He kept improving his movements, and his incantations gradually became more fluent.

Finally, as the gestures were completed, a smooth incantation was uttered.

"Glacies!"

Ian felt a buzzing sound in his mind.

The runes of will rotated, drawing upon a portion of spiritual power and drawing together the magical energy within the body.

With a whoosh, a pale blue ray shot out from his fingertip.

A thick layer of frost quickly formed on the ground five meters in front of them, within a radius of one meter.

The indoor temperature had visibly dropped. Ian approached, touched it with his hand, and felt a bone-chilling cold.

"This level of damage won't kill anyone!"

The attack range of the Secondary Frost Ray is only 15 meters at most.

The freezing effect, as described in the book, can freeze and trap an adult bull for a few seconds.

The casting time is just too long, a full five seconds!

At this level, let alone fighting with others, even an ordinary person could attack him or escape the spell's range.

Ian was not very satisfied with the effects of the witchcraft, but for the time being, he had no other ideas.

He doesn't have any better offensive magic. For now, he can only grind this one relentlessly.

He continued practicing, and sure enough, after successfully casting the spell once, he made no mistakes afterward.

Looking at the panel, he saw that his proficiency had increased quite rapidly, and nodded to himself.

Compared to pharmacology, pure witchcraft practice is indeed much faster.

The only thing limiting him now is the upper limit of his mental strength.

A novice wizard apprentice needs to meditate to recover after casting about ten low-level zero-rank spells.

In the days that followed, he spent most of his time practicing the Secondary Frost Ray.

In the evening, the medicine to be used that night was prepared.

His room lacked a constant temperature system, making it impossible to preserve the medicine for an extended period.

When he got tired of practicing witchcraft, he would take out those thick books and read them.

Each time he carefully reviewed the information, the panel would help him deepen his memory.
