Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

Ian's gaze drifted to a fleeting thought: [Dream Potion].

Its function is to guide spiritual resonance and soothe the conflicts that arise when bloodlines merge.

"Dreams...a special state of mind...resonance and soothing..."

A sudden idea flashed in Ian's mind.

He doesn't need the Dream Potion itself, as it's too expensive and has a different effect.

But he needs a material that has the effect of "guiding resonance" or "stabilizing a special mental field" as a binder between the "living vine sap" and the original framework.

He remembered one of the main ingredients of the potion: the condensed tears of the Howling Banshee.

The description is that it is formed from the first tear shed by a banshee when she is extremely sad.

Inside the crystal, a complete echo of a sorrowful soul needs to be sealed away.

This is undoubtedly a powerful and dangerous spiritual material, containing extreme sorrow and soul resonance.

Direct use could very likely lead to mental pollution.

But Ian remembered two things he possessed: the Abyss Soul Contract and the character panel.

The former has a unique tolerance for different rules, while the latter panel has a powerful purification ability.

Perhaps he could try using an extremely small amount of tear crystal powder, after special purification or guiding treatment, to build that crucial "bridge".

Can the soul echo of "sorrow," purified by the panel and guided by the [Starry Sky Festival], be transformed into a source of "deep spiritual resonance"?

It can stimulate mental activity without disrupting the original framework for concentration.

This is an extremely bold and dangerous conjecture. If it fails, at best the materials will be damaged, and at worst the people will suffer psychological trauma.

But Ian decided to give it a try.

Then, through the channels left by Malena and his own newly appointed potion master status, he...

After many twists and turns and at a considerable cost, I finally managed to exchange for a small amount of the lowest quality "Wailing Banshee Tear Crystal Powder".

Back at his residence, he activated all the protective magic arrays and had Gaga remain on high alert in the shadows.

Instead of dealing with the tear crystal powder directly, he first took out the bottle of "Living Vine Juice".

Mental energy probes in, activating the limit-breaking effect of the [Bloodline Purification Technique]: the [Awakening] effect.

He is not trying to awaken their bloodline, nor do the two have any bloodline.

Instead, it aims to "awaken" the gentler and more inclusive "vitality" within the juice.

Mental energy acts like the most skillful carving knife, guiding the fine-tuning of the energy structure within the sap.

Half an hour later, the juice turned into a warm jade color, and the restlessness almost disappeared.

Next comes the most crucial step.

Ian took out a single Banshee Tear crystal, smaller than a grain of sand, and suspended it above a specially made mixing dish.

He closed his eyes and activated the [Starry Sky Ritual].

As the star map unfolded in his consciousness, the [Abyss Soul Pact] mark deep within his spiritual sea also resonated faintly.

This time, he did not passively accept the gift of abyssal energy.

Instead, it actively and carefully guides out this extremely pure and peaceful "sense of order" that has been purified through the panel.

Like the finest silver thread, it gently wraps around that dangerous grain of powder.

At the same time, his mental energy began to simulate the core framework of the [Mind-Concentrating Potion], slowly approaching it.

This is an extremely precise operation, requiring a very high level of perception and control over one's own mental strength, the rules of different species, and the characteristics of medicinal materials.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Ian's forehead.

Under his guidance, the intense sorrow and soul echo contained within that grain of powder began to be enveloped, soothed, and transformed by a sense of "order."

The painful emotions are stripped away and diluted, leaving behind a pure fragment of information about the rules of "deep spiritual resonance".

This process lasted a long time.

When Ian withdrew his mental energy, the powder was no longer its original pale blue color.

Instead, it presents a restrained, almost transparent silvery-white luster, radiating a stable and faint soul fluctuation.

"Success...the first step."

He let out a long sigh, feeling somewhat exhausted, but his eyes gleamed with excitement.

He conducted an initial energy contact guidance between the processed "silver-white tear crystal" powder and the processed "jadeite vine juice".

The moment the two came into contact, there was no conflict; instead, a strange "harmonious resonance" was generated.

The activity of the jade juice is gently amplified and guided by the resonant properties of the silvery-white powder, becoming more stable and rhythmic.

"The bridge... is built."

Ian dared not stop and immediately began the formal refining process.

He took out the most standard materials for the [Mind-Concentrating Potion]: Starlight Vine Marrow Crystals, Moon Essence, and processed Silver Soul Grass Pollen and other auxiliary materials.

With unprecedented focus and meticulousness, they began the refining process.

Every step was taken with utmost care, and mental energy acted like the most precise instrument, monitoring every change in energy within the crucible.

At the crucial moment, he slowly dripped the special energy liquid, which combined "jadeite activity" and "silver resonance," into the nascent calming potion.

boom!

The energy inside the crucible surged instantly!

The original framework for concentration clashed violently with the new active and resonant characteristics.

The liquid was churning violently, its color changing rapidly, and it looked like it was about to fail and disintegrate.

Ian's eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, he poured all of his highly liquefied mental energy into the task.

This also triggered a resonance between the [Starry Sky Festival] and the [Abyss Soul Pact] once again.

The unique sense of "order and harmony" generated by resonance begins to guide and organize from a higher level.

Like a skilled musician who, amidst a chaotic symphony, finds the key notes and gently plucks them.

Under this invisible guidance, the surging energy began to gradually straighten and blend.

The luster of jade, the silvery sheen, the brilliance of stars and moon—all swirl and merge within the crucible…

Ultimately, it all returns to a deep, tranquil azure.

The light faded.

A brand new potion lay quietly at the bottom of the crucible.

It was no longer the clear, pale blue of the [Concentration Potion], but rather a deep blue like the starry night sky.

Inside, there are faint glimmers of silver and jade-like luster, appearing and disappearing, flowing slowly.

A calm and profound spiritual energy fluctuation, yet containing a vibrant vitality, emanated from it.

[Limit-Breaking Special Effect: 1. Deep Concentration: Greatly increases the efficiency of mental energy condensation by 80%, and significantly enhances the auxiliary effect on subtle mental energy manipulation.]

[New Special Effect: 2. Starlight Resonance: Gently stimulates mental energy activity, slightly increasing the natural recovery speed and upper limit of mental energy. During deep meditation, there is a certain probability of triggering a brief resonance in the mental sea, slightly increasing the efficiency of meditation insights.]

[Drug Naming: Customizable]

Become!

Looking at the panel prompts, even someone as composed as Ian couldn't help but feel his heart pounding with excitement.

Not only did it successfully break through the limit and advance to the next level, but its special effects were also enhanced to "Deep Concentration" and "Starlight Resonance," greatly improving its auxiliary effects.

More importantly, the newly added "Starlight Resonance" effect perfectly matches his original design concept.

On a solid and refined foundation, stimulate activity and even potential!

Without hesitation, he named the new potion: [Starlight Potion (Tier 1)].

The value of this potion is immeasurable for wizards who need to meditate for a long time to hone their mental strength.

It means faster cultivation speed and stronger mental energy recovery.

Even... a slight possibility of improving one's potential!

Ian carefully sealed the medicine away.

He did not take the test immediately.

Because the moment he successfully concocted the potion, a sharp warning rang out in his mind.

"Ian, that 'Shadow Bug' is here again! This time... it seems to be staying longer than last time, hoo!"
