Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 25 Simple Stardust Liquid Steady Progress
Ron observed the material carefully. With the help of his [Medicinal Herb Identification] ability, he could feel the special rhythm contained in it.

"I'm surprised by your sensitivity," Mrs. Allen noted his concentration. "Most people have trouble detecting the 'rhythm' of this material when they first encounter it."

Ron didn't hide his feelings: "Its vibration frequency is very similar to the basic meditation runes of spiritual power, but more..."

He paused, searching for the right words: "More fluid, without that blockage."

"That's a very good description." Mrs. Allen nodded with satisfaction. "This is exactly why Stardust Fluid can stabilize spiritual power - it provides an ideal 'rhythmic template', allowing spiritual power to flow more naturally."

She poured some moonlight crystals into a specially made stone mortar. "Now, I'm going to teach you how to make a simplified version of stardust liquid. While the effect won't be as good as the real thing, it's relatively easy to make."

For the next two hours, Mrs. Allen taught every detail of the production process in detail.

From the grinding angle of the material, the control of the heating temperature, to the guidance of energy fluctuations, each step requires precise operation.

Finally, with Ron's unremitting efforts, a bottle of liquid emitting a faint silver light was successfully prepared.

"The color is a little lighter, but overall it's a success." Mrs. Allen picked up the bottle and observed it under the light:
"This simple stardust liquid will last for about three days, enough for you to complete a complete spell experiment."

She handed the bottle to Ron. "However, continuous use can lead to a certain degree of dependence. It's best to use it only when making a critical breakthrough."

Ron took the bottle solemnly: "Thank you very much for your guidance, ma'am."

"No need to thank me." Mrs. Allen waved her hand. "I'm just curious about the research results of the deceased apprentice. If you really succeed in perfecting it, remember to show it to me."

After work, Ron left the herbal medicine store with the bottle of simple stardust liquid.

Today's gain was not just this bottle of potion, more importantly, he had a deeper understanding of potion making, especially about how to guide energy fluctuations.

On the way back to the dormitory, he kept thinking about Mrs. Allen's teachings:
"In potion-making, the most crucial factor isn't the ingredients themselves, but how to achieve harmony between the energies of the different ingredients."

This concept is very similar to what he discovered in meditation.

Whether it is the operation of mental power or the fusion of potion materials, they seem to follow some common rules.

Ron returned to his room and began to organize his notes and thoughts.

Today, while preparing the simple stardust liquid, his understanding of mental power deepened.

In particular, the concept of "ideal rhythm" gave him new inspiration.

After completing his notes, he took out his wooden training sword and began practicing the Corona Swordsmanship.

Each swing of the sword was in sync with the rhythm of his breathing, and the movements became more and more smooth.

In the evening, Ron took out the "Basic Meditation Method" again. Today's experience in making potions gave him a new understanding of the operation of mental power, which can be applied to meditation.

【Basic Meditation Begins】

In the space of consciousness, he began to try to simulate the smooth rhythm of the simple stardust liquid.

Although it cannot be completely replicated, the attempt itself has brought a lot of gains.

……

[Current Progress: Basic Meditation (Beginner 48/100)] "Almost halfway through."

Ron opened his eyes and looked at the data on the panel, feeling a little bit of anticipation.

With the current progress, coupled with various professional bonuses, it should not be a problem to reach the proficient level of basic meditation within a month.

With this anticipation, he tidied up the messy notes and books on the table and prepared to rest.

Tomorrow is another fulfilling day, and he needs to stay in good spirits to cope with various challenges.

………………

Ron was in a bad mood.

He lay tossing and turning in bed last night, the incident with Darend kept replaying in his mind.

After all, of the two souls that merged, one was just a young man who had just entered society before crossing over, and the other was a young earl who had been spoiled since childhood. Neither of them had experienced such a horrific killing field where life and death could be seen in such a small space.

When I was in the situation, perhaps because of the adrenaline rush caused by nervousness, I didn't feel anything special.

But lying in bed late at night, the other person's twisted and struggling posture, as well as the whimpering sound mixed with unwillingness and pain before death, made it increasingly difficult for him to calm down.

In fact, during the lightning-fast battle, Ron also vaguely felt some prying eyes around him.

With his keen perception after repeated physical training and job changes, he could detect the faint signs of life in the rooms on both sides of the corridor.

Those candidate apprentices of the same period hid behind the door, secretly observing everything happening outside through the crack in the door.

But it was not until Holt arrived with the law enforcement team that they dared to open the door and come out to accept the inspection of the law enforcement team.

"Heh, this is in line with the survival rules of the Black Mist Jungle."

He sneered. The weak would only curl up in the shadows and wait for the strong to decide the outcome, and then choose to rely on the winner. This survival strategy is common here.

………………

After finishing his work with Mrs. Allen and ending his daily practice, it was almost dusk.

When Ron walked into the public dining room, he immediately felt the difference in the atmosphere.

Normally there wouldn't be too many people at this time of year, but today the restaurant was packed with people.

What was even more unusual was that the candidate apprentices who usually gathered in groups of three or four this time gathered together, casting their eyes at him from time to time.

"That's Ron? I heard he killed the deformed Darend by himself."

"It is said that he used a wooden sword"

"And he's still working at the herbal medicine store in the market. Even Lord Holt..."

Whispers continued to reach his ears. Ron carried the dinner tray expressionlessly and walked to the empty seat in the corner and sat down.

At this time, a tall and thin boy came over with a tray of food: "Ron, can I sit here?"

Ron looked up at him and recognized that they were the same group of apprentices who came to the Black Mist Jungle, but he could not remember their names clearly.

Before he could answer, two more people came over.

"Ron, I heard you got the magic that Darende developed? I wonder if I could take a look at it."

"I have some magic stone fragments here, if you are willing to give them some advice."

Ron put down the black bread in his hand and said coldly: "Sorry, I'm busy now."

He stood up and was about to leave with his plate.

But more people gathered around, talking about something in a flurry.

Just as he was about to turn hostile, a familiar voice rang out from the side: "Get out of the way."
