Herag's meditation lasted for eight hours this time, with effects comparable to a week's meditation after consuming the Starry Sky Potion.

Originally, it would take more than a month to succeed in meditating on the eighth star, but now it only requires about a month.

When Herag opened his eyes again, it was already evening. Erza, seeing that he was meditating, did not disturb him but instead dressed up and went out to arrange some food.

It was expected that Herag would finish meditating by noon, so the delicacies were placed in the room.

Who knew Herag would meditate until evening, and the food, having gone cold, was taken away, and dinner preparations began.

"You are really diligent," Erza said as she sat by the bed, seeing Herag awake.

She was wearing a low-cut outfit, the lower part just covered by her hips.

Herag felt a bit agitated inside and said, "If I hadn't taken another look at you, I should have completed my daily meditation last night."

"Did I force you to look?" Erza lightly rebuked.

Herag thought for a moment and nodded, "I looked."

Erza was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood and gave Herag a friendly punch.

...

After having dinner at the City Lord's Mansion, Herag left. Erza tried to persuade him to stay, but Herag still refused.

Instinctively, he would love to stay in the frivolity of the night, but Herag didn't want to waste too much time on these matters.

With the Moonstone Grass now in hand, the task given by Larry is considered complete, and now he just needs to wait for news from the Moonlight Forest.

Once things settle down there, he can return.

To him, there are still too many inconveniences outside; at least inside the Moonlight Forest, it is safe enough.

Anything he wants to learn can be learned immediately.

There is no shortage of resources; as long as there are sufficient Magic Stones, he can acquire whatever resources he wants.

For Wizard Apprentices, the Wizard Organization indeed provides a relatively stable environment for practice.

When Herag arrived at his courtyard and pushed the door open, he found Ed diligently trimming the lawn.

Upon hearing the door open, Ed looked up, saw Herag, and ran over, pleasantly surprised, "Sir, you're back."

"Yes," Herag replied simply and continued walking towards his room.

Judy also came running when she heard the commotion, her hands still wet, seeming to have been doing laundry.

Herag looked around and found everything very clean, showing that the two of them often cleaned meticulously and diligently.

Upon returning to his room, he began to organize the harvest from this trip: a Moonstone Grass, a Frozen Stone Giant Heart, and a spell model of the Ice Cone Technique.

These are all good items, especially the Frozen Stone Giant Heart, which is of great significance to Herag.

He now just needs to meditate step-by-step until his Spiritual Power reaches the requirements for advancing to a Third Class Wizard Apprentice, then he can start brewing the Dawn and Dusk Potion.

The brewing of the Dawn and Dusk Potion is not much more complex than the Dawn Potion, and Herag's Spiritual Power is certainly a lot higher now than when he brewed the Dawn Potion, giving him more confidence in the brewing process.

He also plans to learn the Ice Cone Technique spell. Having more spells means more options, and being better prepared is always beneficial.

In his battle with the man in the mask, he realized the advantage of having multiple spells.

Just having three Shields was enough to frustrate the man in the mask; ordinary Wizard Apprentices don't have that much energy and time to master three Shield Spells.

However, for Herag, the work of deciphering the Ancient Stone Slab is certainly important as well.

Another major discovery from this trip was finding the true usage of the Starry Sky Potion.

Herag didn't expect that only by combining in such a way can the true effects of the Starry Sky Potion be released.

In the future, he plans to accumulate at least seven days of potency and then see Erza to release the potency.

Since Erza is also a First-class Wizard Apprentice, her body is stronger than an ordinary person's and can withstand his endless energy.

To avoid leaving descendants, Herag used his Magic Power to envelop certain things.

Instinct told him that Erza might have deliberately acted this way for this very purpose.

Herag's wizard potential is quite good, and Erza herself has a bit of wizard potential as well. The chances of their offspring having wizard potential are high.

But Herag remained cautious, ensuring Erza's intentions would ultimately be in vain.

After tallying the gains from this trip, Herag resumed his usual practice life.

Every day, he consumes the Starry Sky Potion to complete meditation, visiting Erza every seven days to release the potion's potency.

The content of the Ancient Stone Slab continued to be deciphered, and Herag took time to have Shenlan complete the spell model construction for the Ice Cone Technique, giving himself another Attack Magic.

Twenty days later.

"Shenlan, check my body data."

"Herag Merlin: Power 4.8, Agility 4.9, Constitution 6.1, Spirit 13.5, Magic Power 100%."

The meditation on the eighth star was complete, once again enhancing Herag's metrics in all aspects.

His Spiritual Power was nearing the standard for advancing to a Third Class Wizard Apprentice, but Herag wouldn't rush into advancement.

With the Starry Sky Meditation Technique, he can complete meditating on two stars before attempting the advancement to a Third Class Wizard Apprentice.

By then, his Spiritual Power will undoubtedly surpass 15 points, making the advancement more assured and with a higher success rate.

Herag's days in Ryan City passed peacefully, typically involving meditation practice, brewing potions, and visiting Erza to release the Starry Sky Potion's effects.

This house needn't be rented anymore as Erza directly gifted it to him.

He later learned that the entire area of houses belonged to Erza.

Over the course of more than half a year, Herag turned sixteen, marking his third year in this world.

"Herag Merlin: Power 6.7, Agility 6.3, Constitution 7.8, Spirit 16.8, Magic Power 100%.

Herag completed the meditation on the tenth star, with all ten points on the Array Map in his mind lit up.

It was then that he understood the function of the Array Map.

Once all points of the Array Map are lit, it can store 50% of Herag's Magic Power.

This functions like a Magic Power storage tool, allowing Herag to have 150% available Magic Power.

This is a significant enhancement for Herag, whether in combat, potion brewing, or Shenlan executing various simulations, analyses, and calculations, all requiring Magic Power.

The Magic Power stored by the Array Map increases with Herag's power, different at a Spiritual Power level of 16 compared to 20, but the Magic Power the Array Map can store also increases accordingly.

And this is just one Array Map; Herag can imagine having ten or a hundred Array Maps, making Magic Power almost endless and never exhausted.

Herag already began pondering some combat methods advantageous to him based on the effects of the Array Map.
