The question of his research direction had not only been raised by Cedric. As the gathering was about to end, Sprout called Luan over as well.
"I think Cedric has already spoken to you. Have you given any thought to your next direction?"
"Not yet, Professor."
Luan was telling the truth this time. He had originally made wands to test whether magic could be used in Xilin.
Now that magic had been proven usable, he planned to learn some spells or Transfiguration to deal with the coming war.

"You needn't rush. Wandmaking has already reached the pinnacle when it comes to magical plants. Putting more effort into it won't yield much."
What Sprout said was, in fact, exactly Luan's current situation. He had successfully used the difficult craft of Wand Making to knock open the club's doors.
But at the same time, he had raised the difficulty of his future research by several unknown levels.
Cedric had joined the club because he discovered Sleepyface Fungus. For the next few years, he only needed to study that little mushroom.
Then there was Bernard Vincent. He had joined because he successfully cultivated Snail Grass and discovered it could be used to make adhesive. After that, he only needed to keep improving the adhesive's purity.

Even if Luan had twice as much time as ordinary people, he could never catch up to Ollivanders in his lifetime.
Of course, Luan still had another direction to
