Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 70 "Demon God" [Ancient Alchemist] [Creator]

"'Favour'?" Ron was unfamiliar and curious about the word.

"It's an intangible yet real reward. When a wizard passes on his knowledge to talented younger generations, helping them grow, or allowing his private secrets to be perfected and spread, the wizard will receive 'favor'."

Mrs. Allen's voice became even deeper, as if she was telling a mysterious ancient legend:
"It can nourish the wizard's spirit, increase magical power, and most importantly - it can dissolve spiritual pollution."

Ron looked up suddenly, remembering the mental pollution brought about by "The Whisper of the Star Eater" and Mrs. Allen's warning.

"Spiritual pollution... can it really be eliminated?"

"Under conventional means, even if you take a high-level potion..." Mrs. Allen nodded slowly:
“Spiritual pollution can only be temporarily suppressed, but can never be completely eliminated.”

"It follows every wizard like a shadow. The more powerful the wizard, the more serious the pollution they endure. As time goes by, the pollution will corrode the mind like poison, distort the soul, and eventually lead to deformation."

Her eyes dimmed, as if she had witnessed this scene herself:

"Many powerful wizards eventually died from their own power—they were mentally broken, or completely deformed into unrecognizable monsters."

"But 'favor' can change all this." At this point, her tone suddenly became firm again:
"When a young person achieves a breakthrough under the guidance of a mentor, the pure energy generated by this growth is fed back to the mentor in the form of 'favor,' which can be used to dissolve the spiritual pollution that has accumulated over the years."

Ron felt that all the conjectures that had been lingering in his mind had finally connected at this moment, and he blurted out:

"So this is why the instructors in the school, even though they are busy with experiments and training all day, still take time out to teach their apprentices?"

"That's right." Mrs. Allen nodded, a bitter smile on her lips.

"On the surface, it seems like a selfless act of imparting knowledge, but in reality, it's just a means of self-preservation. Teaching apprentices is both a responsibility and a necessary means of prolonging one's life."

Ron was silent for a moment, and then he had a deeper understanding in his heart.

Everything finally made sense. Why would those high-ranking wizards be willing to spend time guiding these insignificant apprentices, but only accept a few symbolic fragments of magic stone?
Why does the Black Mist Jungle have such a complete teaching system and mentor system, and encourage competition among apprentices?

Why was Mrs. Allen so "generous" as to impart all kinds of potion knowledge and the precious "Whispers of the Star Eater" to him...

"Who made these rules?" Ron couldn't help but ask, "Where does the favor come from?"

Mrs. Allen sighed deeply and looked out the window into the distance:

"I don't think even my mentor is fully aware of this question. The wizarding world holds too many secrets, some of which are even beyond our comprehension."

She paused, as if choosing her words:
"Rumor has it that this is related to those high-ranking beings that transcend the entire multiverse—great beings known as 'Demon Gods' in ancient texts."

"They wander among countless worlds, rewriting the rules and maintaining balance. 'Benefits' may be a way for them to encourage the spread of knowledge."

"Demon..." Ron repeated the word softly, as if this ancient word itself carried some kind of power.

"Anyway." Mrs. Allen retracted her gaze and looked at Ron again:

"'Favor' is one of the few truly fair exchanges in the wizarding world. You gain knowledge and growth, while the mentor gains purification and a longer life. This kind of connection often lasts a long time, even a lifetime."

"Then I am your..."

"Of course I am your student. Even though you have graduated, this connection will not be easily severed. If you make any breakthroughs in Potions in the future, I will also feel a little 'favor'."

Mrs. Allen smiled, a rare moment. “Of course, in the future you may also have students of your own and experience this subtle connection firsthand.”

A warm feeling welled up in Ron's heart. He understood how precious this teacher-student relationship was in this cruel supernatural world. "I will strive to achieve greater success in Potions," he said solemnly, "not only for myself, but also to repay your guidance."

Mrs. Allen paused for a moment and suddenly changed the subject:
"By the way, are you planning to apply for the school's Potions Master certification? There's one this month, and if you don't sign up, the next one will be next year. With your current level, you should have a good chance of passing."

"Potion Master Certification? Could you please tell me more about it?"

Ron asked curiously. In fact, he had looked up relevant information, but he didn't know enough about the specific details.

After Mrs. Allen's detailed explanation, he learned that there was a rating system among wizards:
Professional potion masters need to be able to independently complete the refining of common advanced potions;

Senior potion masters are required to master certain formula improvement abilities;

The Potions Master must be able to create new potion recipes...

Ron nodded and wrote down the information. At the same time, his consciousness panel suddenly flashed with new unlocked content:

Mrs. Allen didn't seem to notice Ron's brief distraction and continued to explain:

"It is said that there are even higher ancient alchemists and creators who are able to create 'illusions' that do not exist in this world, but they are already legendary."

As she spoke, more information appeared on the panel, but this time it was incomplete:
