Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

Ian just swiftly and decisively eliminated the lurking spy, but the crisis is only temporarily averted.

Based on the records found on the body, the Osborne family had already listed him as a prime suspect, and with Anzi's death tonight, the situation has become even worse.

This is a huge hidden danger.

His strength increased too quickly. It took him less than four months to go from intermediate apprentice to advanced apprentice, a time that was unusually short. Fortunately, the current state of war temporarily concealed his abnormality.

His progress was certainly driven by the pressure of war, but it was also due to his own unremitting efforts.

But the panel was still his greatest help, and also his greatest secret and trump card, which he would never allow anyone to discover!

"We must deal with them as soon as possible." Ian's killing intent surged.

However, private fights are strictly prohibited within the camp. The other party is also a family wizard sent by the tower. Without a solid reason, they will never allow each other to kill each other, as that would disrupt the already tense order of the camp.

"We can't make a move in the camp." Ian's mind raced. "Then let's think of a way to lure him out."

Ian took out a pen and paper and quickly listed the information on the table, his mind racing as he considered various solutions.

"They need a reason, a reason that compels them to leave without making them overly wary."

"Furthermore, it would be best to disperse them or lure them to locations that are advantageous to me."

……

Ian sketched on the paper, thinking for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a reliable solution.

There are no fools in the wizarding world; a customized plan with flaws can backfire.

He was an ordinary person in both his lives, and his intelligence was actually average. Such ingenious planning was not his forte.

Since a direct solution won't work, let's try a different approach.

Instead of trying to eliminate them quickly, we should first disrupt their investigation, and then find an opportunity to kill them one by one.

"Since you're going to investigate, I might as well just reveal my potion-making talent," Ian muttered to himself.

The Osborn family's strength is mainly supported by a series of bloodline potions.

"First thing tomorrow morning, we need to find out exactly how many of them there are and what their strength is."

He plans to go directly to Hank tomorrow to get information.

He helped Venomous Fang tonight, and their relationship doesn't seem like that of ordinary teammates. I can try to get some information from him first.

As for how to earn contribution points in the camp, there is still a crucial step in the plan that he needs to handle carefully.

……

The next morning, Venom and Rex, along with six intermediate apprentices, stood at the camp gate.

The other team was Leon and "Grey Rat". The sixteen of them bid farewell to their familiar friends and family in the camp and embarked on a reconnaissance journey in the western area.

Standing in the crowd, Ian noticed the subtle aura of the Rock Armored Demon Bear on Venomous Fang and nodded to himself.

Leon also sensed the aura emanating from Venom, his expression dark and unreadable, as if he were lost in thought.

As he was leaving, he secretly handed a note to his family and led the group westward.

Ian watched silently, staring at the Osborn family members who had come to see him off.

There were six intermediate apprentices in total, including an old man who kept staring at him with malicious intent.

"Old dog, I'll send you on your way when I get the chance."

Ian thought viciously, then turned to go back to his residence.

"Ian, come to my Stone Tower," Sterling's voice rang out.

Ian's heart skipped a beat. "Yes, Wizard Sterling."

He then followed Sterling toward the central stone tower.

The people on the field noticed that Sterling had specifically summoned Ian, and their eyes kept flickering as they each made their own guesses.

The members of the Osborne family exchanged glances.

Judging from this situation, Sterling seems to value Ian quite a bit; Leon hadn't given any instructions about this unexpected turn of events.

The group looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

As Ian watched the stone tower approach, his mind raced.

Sterling's summons at this moment must be related to Hank's purchase of the neutralizing agent last night.

And this is the most crucial part of his plan.

Upon entering the stone tower, Sterling did not linger in the hall but led Ian into his laboratory.

Upon entering, Ian was greeted by a rich aroma of various potions, mixed with a faint scent of sulfur.

Sterling sat down at a heavy wooden table and gestured for Ian to sit down as well.

"Ian," Sterling said bluntly, his gaze calm yet penetrating.

"Last night Hank came to me and bought a neutralizing potion from me to use in conjunction with your [Rock Bear Potion]."

After taking the poison, the potion was extremely effective, even attracting the phantom of the Rock Armor Demon Bear.

Ian was taken aback. "A phantom?"

Why didn't Kenna and the others have this effect when they took it?

As for how Sterling knew about this, he had already considered this possibility when he gave the potion to Venom.

When the two Fiends come to buy the neutralizing potion, they will inevitably encounter Sterling's inquiries.

Ian was tense, but his expression remained calm: "That's true. The medicine is more potent because the formula I have is an improved and enhanced version."

Sterling tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a regular tapping sound.

"Who improved it? Improving the bloodline potion isn't something just anyone can do."

As far as he knew, there were very few potion masters in Shadowmoon Tower who could freely modify high-level bloodline potions.

Ian had already prepared his speech. He straightened his back and spoke with respect for Sterling, along with a hint of barely perceptible pride.

"I dare not hide it from Wizard Sterling; it was my mentor, Alyvia, who improved the formula! During my studies at Starleaf Potions Shop, my mentor discovered my talent for potions and taught me a great deal about it."

Ian wasn't lying; every word he said was true, and he was guaranteed to pass even the most bizarre lie detector spells.

"Mentor? You're Alyvia's student?" Sterling was taken aback.

I've never heard of Alyvia taking on male students before, back in the tower.

But Ian addressed her as his mentor with such certainty that it was no casual address, unless Ian was incredibly audacious and didn't want to lose his life.

Sterling was silent for a moment, his eyes scrutinizing Ian.

The only sound in the room was the soft crackling of the fireplace flames.

Finally, the sharpness in his eyes disappeared, and his expression gradually softened.

"I greatly admire the potion-making skills of the sorceress Elivia, and you are fortunate to have received her instruction."

Sterling seemed to accept this explanation, showing no emotion, or rather, no intention of pursuing the matter further.

"Being able to refine bloodline potions, it seems I underestimated your talent."

Ian felt a sense of relief; he had passed halfway through this ordeal.

Sterling wouldn't be so bored as to confront Ellie Davis directly.

"Honorable Wizard Sterling, I have another request. I would like to accept the commission to customize the [Rock Bear Potion] in the camp in order to enhance the camp's overall strength and deal with the threat from the Crimson Court."

Sterling chuckled inwardly. This Ian, he'd climb up the ladder if you gave him a stick.

However, his suggestion was indeed good. For every additional person in the camp who took the bloodline potion, it was equivalent to having an additional advanced apprentice, and their strength would increase by one point.

The key point is that for every Bloodline Potion sold, a Neutralizing Potion must be purchased from him.

This is a fairly good income for him.

"Okay, I agree." Sterling nodded.

"Ian, I have another deal. Are you interested?"
