Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

Deep down, Ian was more anxious than anyone else.

He didn't know how long the war would last, only that once it ended, his performance would attract a lot of attention.

At that time, his abnormality will make his situation extremely dangerous.

The Crimson Court is slightly stronger than the Shadowmoon Tower, but in such a large-scale war, the outcome cannot be determined solely by the apparent strength of the two sides.

He suppressed his restless thoughts and continued looking at the "Mind-Concentrating Potion" formula on the table, his brows gradually furrowing.

The complexity of the recipe, recorded on special magic paper, was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Starlight Vine Marrow Crystallization" requires taking a small section of the core marrow from the Starlight Vine after it has grown for a hundred years, before it naturally withers on the night when the star power is at its strongest.

It requires a special secret method and a crystallization process involving moonlight that lasts for several days to obtain, containing highly pure star essence and concentrated spiritual qualities.

"Moon Essence" is not just ordinary night dew; it is the purest moonlight water collected in a magically tranquil place on a specific night when the two moons meet.

After collection, it must undergo a complex alchemical ritual and spiritual guidance to be repeatedly purified before a wisp of silver liquid essence can be condensed.

In addition, the auxiliary materials include "pollen of the Silver Soul Grass, extract from the bark of the Ancient Tree of Life, and calming spring water..."

Ian pondered for a long time, adjusted his state, and began his first refining attempt.

He just exchanged for ten standard portions of materials, which, if split, would allow him to attempt refining about 500 times.

……

In the following days, people frequently came and went from Ian's residence, some brought by Hank, and some who came seeking the potion.

Ian treats everyone equally; as long as someone can trade for more than 300 contribution points on the spot, he will accept the custom-made potion.

Since the return of Venomous Fang, in just five days, more than thirty people have obtained the [Rock Bear Potion] from Ian.

The overall strength of the camp has undergone a dramatic change, a change that has surprised everyone.

No one can imagine what a mid-level apprentice would go to in order to obtain Ian's bloodline potion!

A large number of intermediate apprentices began frantically accepting tasks, scrambling to collect contribution points, and contacting family, friends, and senior students...

Those tasks that seem dangerous but offer high contribution points are snatched up as soon as they are released; they seem to have forgotten about the danger.

Even in the western area where "Blood Bats" and "Shadow Assassins" roam, apprentices starting to appear on quests have begun to appear.

Meanwhile, those at the bottom level, who were still far from being able to exchange for the [Rock Bear Potion], began trading contribution points with others to obtain the resources they needed most at the moment and improve their strength.

The contribution points began to flow upwards layer by layer, eventually ending up in the pockets of Ian and Sterling.

The entire camp was filled with a restless atmosphere, and the usual dullness had long since disappeared.

On one occasion, when Ian went out to take out the scrap metal at night, he was stopped in his way by two rather attractive female apprentices...

Some wounded soldiers who had previously retreated from the front lines to recuperate also began purchasing medicine from Ian.

Their contribution points were incredibly generous, and they almost never owed anyone money, which greatly increased Ian's goodwill towards them.

Ian's contribution points skyrocketed at an alarming rate, making even he feel a little apprehensive.

"Has this gone too far?"

He truly underestimated the madness of these apprentices. It was just a mediocre bloodline potion; did they have to be so frightening?

He quickly redeemed everything he saw on the redemption list.

Yesterday, the supply team from Shadowmoon Tower finally arrived, greatly enriching the exchange list in the warehouse.

In the new exchange list, Ian saw an extremely precious dimensional ring with two cubic meters of space, worth 5000 contribution points.

He took it without hesitation, then replenished his supplies of [Mind-Concentrating Potion] materials, and continued to live a seemingly quiet and peaceful life.

He practiced witchcraft and concocted "Mind-Concentrating Potions" on time during the day, and meditated for six hours every night without fail. His strength improved little by little, slowly but never stopped.

The two basic potions he concocted in large quantities at the camp, the Secondary Healing Potion and the Basic Antidote Potion, also quietly exceeded their limits.

However, the special effects they produce are quite ordinary. One is the "continuous healing" effect of the medicine, and the other is the "powerful detoxification" effect. They are not useless, but they are just icing on the cake.

What he cares more about is the refinement of his mental power after breaking through the limits, each time is extremely precious.

Ian is no longer a novice in the wizarding world. After listening to a lot of Elivia's lessons, he has learned a lot of more advanced knowledge.

The degree of mental refinement is the most crucial factor, without exception, for whether an advanced apprentice can break through to become a formal wizard!

His spiritual power has undergone eight breakthroughs and refinements, and it seems that it is about to reach a critical juncture.

Days passed by, and the overall strength of the camp grew day by day.

Leon's reconnaissance squad has yet to send any news back to the camp; they seem to have vanished completely.

Ian's steps forward have never stopped.

Just now, another of his intermediate-level sorcery broke through its limits again.

Next to the Will Rune, another curved and strange eyeball-shaped rune appeared, almost invisible.

【Vigilant Eye: Break Limit Once (0/1600) (Break Limit Effect: 1. Concealment)】

After the eyeballs were released, the aircraft ascended to an altitude of 40 meters, and its monitoring range reached a radius of two kilometers.

The "stealth" effect makes it extremely difficult for others of the same level to detect it, greatly increasing its practicality and making it more sensitive to energy fluctuations.

Ian's mental power had undergone another breakthrough in condensation, and it was already almost tangible, seemingly about to turn into mist, but this threshold seemed extremely solid.

Thanks to his powerful mental strength, the progress of "Concentration Potion" also increased rapidly, but the contribution points also shrank significantly.

After his vacation, Venomous Fang set off again to scout the west, but this time he was no longer apprehensive.

A day later, Venom returned and reported his findings to Wizard Sterling.

To everyone's surprise, the temporary camp at the Crimson Court seemed to have been dismantled more than ten days ago, and not a single Crimson scout could be seen there.

Sterling did not let his guard down and still dispatched a large number of teams to conduct a thorough search of that area.

When Ian learned of this news from Hank, he was not relieved; on the contrary, he became even more nervous.

He took out the map he had previously seized and examined it intently.

The distance between the "Furnace" logistics camp and the front line is less than 100 miles. To the west of the front line is a large area that is the main battlefield of the two wizarding organizations: Falling Star Plains.

Ian's fingers slowly traced the routes between the two locations, silently assessing the situation.

"This place is less than a hundred miles from the 'Furnace' front line, and less than two hundred miles from the main battlefield, 'Falling Star Plains'!"

This distance is a bit dangerous. A formal wizard's flight speed is very fast, comparable to the high-speed train in his previous life.

Without special methods, it is almost impossible for an advanced apprentice to shake off the challenge.

"We still need to make some preparations, just in case..."

That day, Ian used a secret mark to have Hank purchase a [Dream Potion] from Sterling.

He's not taking it now, but rather as a precaution.
