Wizards: a Meditation Method, a Permanent Mental Rune.

Even without the aid of any cultivation resources, they could improve through steady, step-by-step training—only at a slower pace.

Warlocks were different. Without replenishment from Extraordinary Bloodline Potions, once they refined all the True Blood within a True-Name Totem Rune, their strength would stagnate or even regress. Thus, they were extremely dependent on resources.

For that very reason, nearly all the more dangerous explorers in the Flame-Burners Association were Zero-Ring Warlocks. Zero-Ring Wizards were nowhere to be seen.

Only by fully excavating the power of an Extraordinary Magic Beast bloodline could one become a true second body.

Only when True Blood, no different from that of an Extraordinary Magic Beast, was born within the body could one enjoy the long lifespan granted by an Extraordinary Magic Beast bloodline and cast off dependence on Bloodline Potions.

This was also one of the essential conditions for becoming a Warlock Lineage.

Yet Warlocks, who were so dependent on Bloodline Potions, found it difficult to become potionmasters unless they possessed special bloodline talents.

Even with a potion formula, Magic Plant extraction techniques, the order in which Magic Plant extracts were added, and the precise proportions of the Magic Plants, it still would not work.

Even Magic Plants of the same species, depending on their age, cultivation methods, and extraction techniques, contained different levels of medicinal potency.

Potion proportions were not proportions by weight, but proportions of the medicinal potency contained within the Magic Plants.

This required the ability to sense the elemental energy within and perceive the most minute changes in a potion. Without powerful mental strength, it was difficult to accomplish.

Thus, more than half the resources obtained by Warlocks became Bloodline Potion materials, while a smaller portion fell into the pockets of potionmasters.
