"Junior Brother Carl!"

"The environment of the Magic Forest is different from where you came from. Here, deaths are very common. Even those from our Six Rings Tower may not be able to guarantee safety, so you must be extremely careful and cautious."

Carl nodded earnestly.

He had long heard about the dangers of the Magic Forest and had truly witnessed them yesterday.

As long as there's money involved, even disciples from the Six Rings Tower dared to kill, showing the locals' recklessness.

"Anyway, let's drop it." Waving his hand, Charlie pulled out two items and handed them over. "Considering your contributions to the potion shop, the tutor and several Official Wizards discussed it, and this is your reward."

Carl's eyes lit up.

He had known he would get a reward from the Tower and was very much looking forward to it; otherwise, he wouldn't have shared the beast pill refining technique so readily.

After waiting for so long, it had finally arrived!

First were three Magic Crystals, thumb-sized, diamond-shaped crystalline bodies, twinkling with a captivating luster.

These items could be considered advanced versions of Magic Stones, with one Magic Crystal exchangeable for one hundred Magic Stones.

Furthermore, the operation of the Wizard Tower and the placement of high-level Witchcraft Traps require Magic Crystals to provide energy.

Three Magic Crystals, equivalent to three hundred Magic Stones, were a considerable amount, but not overwhelmingly so.

At least to Carl, who was used to seeing 'big money,' they weren't very appealing.

Besides the Magic Crystals, there was also a witchcraft book, its cover etched with many intricate patterns.

"Source Sea Meditation Method"

This was what Carl truly valued most.

"Originally, those of you who came from the Kaliem Continent would need several years of testing before truly becoming apprentices of the Six Rings Tower and receiving the corresponding legacy," Charlie said.

"However, the tutor and I are leaving soon, and you've made great contributions to the shop, so we've waived that process."

"This 'Source Sea Meditation Method' is a compulsory technique for Water Element wizards of the Natural School of the Six Rings Tower. Its tier is much higher than the Meditation Method you are currently practicing, and it will make advancement to Official Wizard much easier."

"By the way, it's not allowed to be sold outside. Even passing it to one's own apprentice requires the Tower's consent."

"Understood." Carl's eyes shone. "Thank you, Senior Brother."

The "Source Sea Meditation Method" was not just better than the Meditation Method he was practicing; they were practically different categories of techniques.

The original Meditation Method made it extremely difficult to advance to Official Wizard.

As for this method, within the Six Rings Tower, Water Element wizards of the Natural School continued to practice it even after becoming Three-Circle Wizards.

The chance of breaking through to Official Wizard alone was twenty percent higher than with the original Meditation Method.

"You don't need to thank me. This is what you deserve."

Charlie shook his head, then tapped his forehead. "Almost forgot! Oma, your Junior Sister, asked me to bring you a letter. She's now training under Wizard Bella, and it's not convenient for her to come see you."

Saying this, he handed over a letter.

"Oma is exceptionally gifted and has also gained the favor of Wizard Bella. She will definitely become an Official Wizard."

"That really is enviable!"

His Wizard Talent wasn't even as good as Carl's. The only reason he could join the Six Rings Tower was thanks to his family's connections.

Now, at sixty years old, he still hadn't become an Official Wizard, and whether he could advance in the future was uncertain. His envy was understandable.

Carl didn't respond to Charlie's lament and casually asked, "What tasks has Senior Bella arranged for Oma?"

"Tasks?"

Charlie shook his head. "Senior Bella asked her to help clean the Wizard Tower. Actually, there's no real need for anyone there; it's just a way to let her stay at the Wizard Tower for training."

"The Wizard Tower is a nexus connecting the present world and the Star Realm. Training there for one day is equivalent to seven, perhaps even ten days, outside. It probably won't be long before Oma is qualified to attempt becoming an Official Wizard."

As he said this, he sighed again.

Apart from Official Wizards, very few Wizard Apprentices are allowed to stay and train in the Wizard Tower, which shows how highly Wizard Bella regards Oma.

"I see..."

Carl's expression was complex. "Indeed, that's enviable!"

Those with talent often receive better treatment; this was a fact true for both him and Charlie.

They could only look on with envy.

「Over the following period,」 business at the potion shop gradually stabilized, and beast pills and potions were no longer in short supply.

Taking advantage of his free time, Carl attempted to switch to practicing the "Source Sea Meditation Method." With his solid foundation, the transition went very smoothly.

Now that he had mastered the basics of the "Source Sea Meditation Method," he could truly feel the excellence of this meditation technique.

In the same amount of time, his training progress had nearly doubled, and even his body's utilization rate of potions had greatly improved.

「One day.」

"Carl!"

A familiar voice resonated from outside the door.

"Nancy! Hodgson!" Carl looked up upon hearing their voices, a look of pleasant surprise on his face. He quickly got up to greet them.

"Quick, come in and sit!"

"What a rare visit! What brings you two here?"

Nancy, who had a few freckles on her face, and the handsome Hodgson, the couple, walked side by side into the shop.

"We were just strolling around the market, happened to be passing by, and decided to drop in. Your shop is doing really well!"

Watching the customers coming in and out of the shop, Hodgson remarked with a hint of emotion in his voice, "Nancy's shop isn't doing so well. She only gets a few customers a day, barely making enough Magic Stones to cover expenses."

"It's different." Carl shook his head. A nearby teapot and cups floated to the table, guided by a Mage Hand. "Over there, they sell Demonized Items. It's the kind of business where you might not make a sale for ages, but one sale can sustain you for a long time."

"Potions need to be consumed regularly, so naturally, there are more buyers. Who buys Demonized Items all the time?"

"That's also tough," Nancy said, shaking her head.
