Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

three days later.

Edel returned to the laboratory, followed by two gray-robed stewards.

The two men carried a heavy, sealed box, its surface covered with isolation runes.

The runes shimmered with a dark gold and milky white luster, completely sealing off any fluctuations within the box.

"Bang."

The box was placed on the lab bench with a dull thud.

"What you want."

Edel waved her hand, and the two stewards bowed and withdrew, closing the laboratory door behind them.

She walked up to the box and lightly traced the lead seal with her fingertip.

The runes dimmed, and the box lid slowly opened.

In an instant.

The light in the laboratory distorted for a moment.

It presents... a strange radiance of order and chaos.

On the left, six fist-sized crystals are neatly stacked.

The crystal itself is milky white, with a warm, holy glow flowing inside, but its surface is covered with spiderweb-like dark purple cracks.

Deep within the cracks, the jet-black liquid slowly writhed, as if it were alive.

"The 'Holy Radiance Crystal', slightly contaminated by the abyss, comes from the ruins of an abandoned Temple of Order."

Adele spoke in a low, tense voice.

"During the collection... three level-one wizards died, and the contamination spread over a range of tens of meters."

Ian nodded, then looked to the side.

There were three sealed crystal jars there.

The jar contained twelve petals, which should have been pure gold, but now appeared as a decaying gray-black.

The edges are curled, and the surface is covered with fine dark etching patterns.

"The petals of the 'Dawn Flower' are eroded. It was picked three hours after it withered. The regular erosion level is 28%."

Adele paused for a moment, "These were obtained from the black market, and the seller insisted on absolute confidentiality."

Ian didn't speak, and looked to his right.

There lay a palm-sized piece of metal, its surface rusted, but beneath the rust, one could vaguely see delicate rune engravings.

At the edge of the fragment, there were several extremely fine marks, as if it had been "gnawed" by some invisible thing.

Deep within the traces, a lingering, unsettling void fluctuation remains.

"The 'Order Metal' unearthed from the ancient battlefield has traces of extraterrestrial energy erosion on its surface, and its age is... at least three thousand years."

Finally, there was a crystal bottle no bigger than a fingertip.

The bottle contained a milky white, viscous liquid, and deep within the liquid, faint golden specks of light slowly rotated.

It's like a miniature version of the starry sky that has been preserved.

"The marrow of the third-tier light-type magical beast 'Holy Light Unicorn' contains the densest concentration of order and rules."

After saying that, Adele let out a long sigh.

Fine beads of sweat on his forehead glistened slightly under the crystal light.

"For these things... I used all of my fifth sister's secret channels and even sacrificed a lot of future profits in exchange."

"Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

A flicker of light crossed Adele's eyes, and she nodded gently.

"Well... I'll leave it to you." With that, she turned and left.

Ian finished organizing all the materials and began processing them.

He stretched out his hand, his fingertips hovering above the first piece of Holy Radiance Crystal.

Mental energy, like the finest thread, slowly probes out and seeps into the cracks on the surface of the crystal.

"hiss……"

Countless insane babbling thoughts echoed in my mind!

Distorted visuals, malevolent curses, chaotic rules and information...

It flooded into my mind like a torrent!

But the next second, the panel vibrated silently.

[Abyssal contamination energy detected... Contamination level: Level 2... Purifying in progress...]

A semi-transparent light curtain unfolded in my consciousness, filtering and stripping away all the ramblings, images, and information.

Only a wisp of pure spiritual energy and some fragments of knowledge remained.

[The regular structure of the Holy Radiance Crystal...completed]

Analysis of Abyss Erosion Traces... Seventeen erosion points, erosion depth...

[The model for the conflict between rules of order and chaos... is complete.]

Ian withdrew his finger, a flash of silver light disappearing from his eyes.

"High purity, intact erosion structure...perfect."

He checked all the materials one by one.

The panel analyzes and records all the characteristics, contamination status, and residual order of each material.

When Ian examined the bottle of Holy Light Unicorn bone marrow, his pupils contracted slightly.

The order and rules contained within the bone marrow... are terrifyingly pure.

"As expected of a Tier 3 material."

It is an absolute order that is almost essential and rejects all chaos.

It shares more than 70% similarity with his Order of the Stars power.

"This is... the real key."

He muttered to himself as he carefully picked up the crystal bottle.

The bottle walls were warm to the touch, as if they were alive.

Gaga stood on his shoulder, her little head constantly looking at the crystal bottle.

This thing is incompatible with its attributes; even having it standing next to you makes you feel a little uncomfortable.

Ian turned and walked toward the lab table.

The alcohol lamp was lit, and the pale blue flame danced quietly under the glass cover.

He took out a specially made starstone mortar and pestle, put in three Holy Light Fruits, and began to slowly grind them.

The fruit cracked at the bottom of the bowl, oozing out milky white juice and emitting a fresh herbal aroma.

But this time, he did not pour it directly into the flask.

Instead, he took out the bottle of Holy Light Unicorn Marrow and used the finest crystal dropper to draw out half a drop.

Cola Novels: This is where dreams begin, and where dreams come true.

The moment the bone marrow dripped into the mortar.

The milky white luster turned into a pale gold, and countless tiny points of light emerged from the depths, slowly rotating to form a miniature vortex of order.

At the center of the vortex, the faint phantom of a unicorn flashed by.

"Resonance of Order..."

Ian's expression turned serious as he moved on to the next step.

He took out a piece of Holy Radiance Crystal and used his mental power to guide extremely subtle cutting energy to peel off powder finer than dust from the edge of the crystal.

The powder falls into the mortar and is mixed with the bone marrow juice.

"Sizzle..."

A soft, corrosive sound rang out from the mortar.

In the pale golden liquid, wisps of dark purple veins appeared.

The patterns twisted and struggled, like living things trying to erode the surrounding orderly energy.

But the powerful order contained within the bone marrow, like a furnace, gradually burns and purifies the patterns.

Next came the morning dew, stardust, and the time-marked blood on Edel's body...

With each material added, Ian would channel a wisp of the power of the Ordering Stars into it.

The liquid inside the mortar is constantly changing.

The color transitions from pale gold to starry blue, and then to a deep, dark silver.

Deep within the liquid, the vortex of order spun faster and faster, gradually condensing into a miniature, complex three-dimensional rune at its center.

This is the "core mark" that Ian imprinted with his mental power.

Each stroke of the rune shimmered with the luster of the power of the stars.

Every stroke resonates with the meditation method of the "Starry Night Ritual".

When the last ingredient... a drop of Ian's own fingertip blood was added.

"boom!"

The liquid inside the mortar suddenly boiled!

The dark silver liquid shot into the sky, condensing into a fist-sized ball of light three feet above the mortar.

Inside the sphere of light, a vortex of order spun wildly, and the central rune of the mark shone brightly.

Countless tiny starlight bursts from the surface of the light sphere, intertwining and spreading in the air above the laboratory.

It's like unfolding a miniature starry sky.

Where starlight passes, the chaotic energy emanating from polluted materials in the air is instantly purified and absorbed.

The air inside the laboratory became "pure" like never before.

So pure it was almost suffocating.

"Gah! Ian, what's this?!"

Gaga was startled. It had been dozing off, but it flapped its wings and flew to a corner.

It could feel the fluctuations in its blood vessels becoming unusually sluggish under the starlight.

They both yearn to get close and fear being swallowed up.

"This is... the power of the Order of the Stars you mentioned?"

The creaking sound trembled; it had never seen Ian display such power before.

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you," Ian casually reassured him.

His entire attention was now focused on the ball of light in mid-air.

Mental energy, like the most precise instrument, guided the sphere of light to descend slowly and land in the prepared crystal flask.

The moment the sphere of light entered the bottle, the liquid returned to calm.

But the deep, dark silver within the bottle, the slowly swirling vortex of order inside, and the faint starlight...

Everything about this proclaims that this potion is fundamentally different from the first version.

Ian poured the medicine into a crystal tube, sealed it, and held it up to the light to observe it.

Inside the tube, the liquid flowed slowly, and the mark rune deep within was faintly visible.

Like a spark waiting to be ignited in the darkness.

"The second edition... no, it's the complete edition now."

He said softly, "Put the medicine away and put it in the incubator."

"Hehe, how much time has passed?"

Gaa flew down and landed on Ian's shoulder. Looking at the stubble on his face, she felt a pang of sympathy.

"It's been five days since Idel left, and you haven't had a single rest."

"Well, before we rest, let's give her the medicine first."

"I'll deliver it to you; I promise it'll be fast and safe."

Ian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"This time, tell Edel that the dosage can be increased to one-fifth. After dripping it into the patriarch's forehead, observe two changes."

Gaga took the medicine, and when its paws touched the tube wall, it could feel a slight warmth.

"What changes?"

"First, the reaction time between the agent and the contaminant."

Ian looked at Gaga with deep eyes.

"If the reaction time exceeds ten seconds, it means that the identification accuracy meets the standard and the agent is accurately locking onto the source of pollution."

"Second... tell her to pay attention to whether 'starlight' appears in the clan leader's spiritual sea."

He paused, then added, "Even if it's just for a moment, remember it."

Gaga nodded vigorously, carefully put away the medicine, and rubbed her little head against his cheek.

"Ian, will he be cured this time?"

"I don't know," Ian replied honestly.

"But at least... it won't get any worse, and that's enough."

Gaga didn't ask any more questions, and slowly blended into the shadows, disappearing from sight.

He walked to the window and looked in the direction of Titu's bedroom.

The night was deep, and the stars twinkled through the gaps in the clouds, like a lighthouse illuminating the way in the darkness.

Ian calmed his mind, closed his eyes, and began to circulate the "Starry Night Ritual".

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the crystallized core slowly rotated, its star trail patterns shimmering with a faint light.

He could sense the newly solidified rune mark; it was faint and hidden, like an inconspicuous star in the night sky.

Deep within the runes flowed the very essence of his Order Star Power.

At this moment, it is flying rapidly in one direction.
