Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

Seven Degrees of Sunset Glow says: Read this book!

Ring-shaped fortress, merit settlement area.

The crowds surged, the atmosphere lively yet tinged with the exhaustion of surviving a disaster.

Ian passed the Demon Hunter Jade Token into the algorithm array.

The numbers on the screen jumped wildly, finally settling on an astonishing number.

"Tenth on the Eastern Contribution Ranking, with a total of 87,000 merit points."

The old wizard in charge of the settlement glanced at Ian, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, before handing over the exchange list in a businesslike manner.

Ian's gaze swept quickly across the materials section of the exchange list, then his eyes suddenly froze.

"The nucleus of the Silent Jellyfish... the complete molting of the Shepherd's Skin..."

His heart skipped a beat, and he almost thought he was seeing things.

Aren't these the two main ingredients that gave him so much trouble in the recipe for "Balance Water"?

When Christine gave him this incomplete formula, he had never even heard of it.

He even secretly thought to himself that this was a useless project that could never be completed!

But when he made the deal with Sterling, a sudden notification on the panel told him that this was an extraordinary formula.

Unexpectedly, the main ingredient appeared here!

"This is...a pleasant surprise."

It seems the Wizarding Alliance has indeed brought out some good stuff for the Demon Hunt.

Ian suppressed the turmoil in his heart, but his fingertips were still slightly hot.

He immediately added both materials to the exchange list.

One 8,000 merit points for the Silent Jellyfish's nucleus coagulation, and one 3,000 merit points for the Shedding Skin of the Scaled Serpent.

"Given the price of these materials, the [Balance Water] is definitely the most precious formula I've ever encountered."

Although it is expensive, if the recipe can be completed, it will definitely be a potion of level two or higher.

The merit points quickly decreased by 11,000.

He continued reading, and when he saw "Nightmare Beast Concentrated Brain Fluid" and "Wailing Banshee Condensed Tear Crystals," his breath hitched again.

"this……"

Aren't these the two main ingredients of "Dream Potion"?

In Ian's mind, the image of the twisted runes on the leather scroll instantly came to mind.

And Sterling's solemn warning at the time: "This is a Tier 1 potion, and its preparation is very dangerous."

When he first read the recipe, he was amazed by the unheard-of ingredients and the complex refining techniques.

He knew its value far exceeded five thousand magic stones.

Seeing these two rare materials listed with their prices on the list at this moment evoked a strong sense of "serendipity".

"The two materials together cost 1 merit points per set. The price isn't too high, but they are rare. Let's exchange for five sets first."

Without hesitation, Ian added them to the redemption list as well.

Merit points have been reduced by another 5,000.

Although he is not yet able to refine the "Dream Potion", the materials are hard to come by.

Since we've encountered this place, we must take it down and pave the way for our future potion-making journey.

The discovery of key materials for two high-level potions in succession caused noticeable ripples in Ian's originally calm mind.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down and not act impulsively.

Turn your attention to a more fundamental need: meditation.

Suddenly, Ian's heart skipped a beat again.

"【Starry Sky Festival (Volume 1)】, 60,000 Merit Points".

Converted to magic stones, that's 600,000 standard magic stones, a price that made his eyes twitch slightly.

But he knew that if it weren't for the war against demons, he wouldn't have been qualified to see it at all.

"This meditation method has a very important origin; it's said to be the prototype of all [Star and Moon Meditation] methods!"

He had just inquired carefully, and even if it was divided into volumes, it still pointed directly to the core inheritance of the third-level wizard.

It's also perfectly compatible with Ian's Star and Moon Meditation Method, so I'd exchange for it no matter how expensive it is.

Without advanced meditation techniques, a first-level wizard's cultivation will be much less effective.

His panel can accelerate learning, but once he reaches the first level of wizard, the improvement of the quality and upper limit of his spiritual sea also slows down.

Almost all first-level wizards cultivate their skills through meditation, which is fortunate because they also have long lifespans.

However, once a treasure that can enhance or purify the spirit appears, the struggle becomes extremely fierce.

"exchange!"

Sixty thousand merit points were instantly deducted.

At this point, of the 87,000 merit points, only 11,000 remain.

Ian felt no pity whatsoever; instead, he felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.

He exchanged all his remaining merits for treasures that nourished his spirit.

Five bottles of [Moonlight Dew] and ten [Pure Soul Crystal Fragments].

The treasure that increases and purifies spiritual power is more than ten times more expensive than a regular first-tier potion!

Resources were exchanged out like flowing water, and merit points were completely reset to zero.

But Ian now possesses a high-level meditation technique that is sufficient to lay the foundation for his future cultivation.

The key ingredients for two top-tier potions, and a batch of spiritual treasures that can accelerate growth.

As he walked out of the exchange counter, he touched the scroll of "Starry Night Festival" in his pocket.

He took another look at the sealed material boxes inside the dimensional bag, his eyes sparkling with barely suppressed excitement and anticipation.

"I have the main materials for the missing piece of 'Water of Balance'... and I've also obtained the materials for 'Dream Potion'..."

With these materials, the two potion formulas were finally no longer just castles in the air.

"First, practice meditation to enhance your spiritual foundation, and then..."

As Ian turned around, he saw a lonely figure in the corner.

In a corner of the exchange hall, a figure stood quietly.

Elena.

She was still wearing a white dress, her temperament ethereal like a fragrant orchid under the moon.

However, starlight faintly swirled around him, and his aura had reached the perfect state of mistification, just one step away from liquefaction.

Beside her was an old wizard in black robes, whose aura was as deep as an abyss, clearly at the peak of the Liquefaction Realm.

People around them instinctively avoided them, their eyes filled with awe.

As if sensing the gaze, Elena turned her head to look.

Eyes facing each other.

A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, as if she felt she had seen this person somewhere before, and that the other person's aura was also at level one.

But the confusion quickly turned into calm, like a still well.

She nodded slightly as a greeting, then turned and left.

The old wizard in black robes glanced at Ian, his gaze sharp as a knife, but said nothing more and followed him away.

Ian stood still, not reminiscing about the past.

The gap in social status still exists.

With the protection of a peak-level liquefied cultivator and unlimited resources, Elena's path of cultivation is as smooth as a mirror.

He, on the other hand, needs to fight, contend, and teeter between life and death.

But so what?

"I have come this far, and I no longer need to look up to so-called geniuses."

He muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with silver light.

The resources he could exchange for with 80,000 merit points were enough to support him until the late stage of liquefaction.

The knowledge that the Abyss Soul Pact completes is the key to the endless void.

Fragments of the Abyss Laws Crystal can be analyzed to reveal higher levels of understanding.

His target has already crossed this east coast.

After leaving the checkout counter, Ian returned to his temporary lodgings.

Gaga squatted on the table, its little paws scratching at the newly exchanged [Astral Silver], its eyes sparkling.

"Ian, this shiny thing, can I make a nest out of it?"

"This is material, not a toy."

"Oh..." Gaga lowered her head in disappointment.

Ian chuckled and ruffled its hair: "I'll buy you something better when we get back."

"real?"

"real."

late at night.

Ian took stock of his findings, and his plan gradually became clearer.

First, return to Shadowmoon Tower to settle the family and settle old scores.

Then, embark on the true path of a wizard.
