Aifel said, "Three days from now. At that time, Mr. Danville, come here. I'll leave a knight here to wait for you and take you over."

"Alright."

After agreeing on the time, Leo took the Magic Stones and entered the Woodpecker Hut next door.

He exchanged ten Magic Stones for two sets of Withered Wood Potion brewing materials. This left Leo with three Magic Stones.

As for where Leo would get ten Magic Stones to repay them if he failed?

By then, Leo would also have received his first month's scholarship.

It would be enough to pay off the debt.

Leo asked, "Miss at the counter, could you recommend some cheaper Magitech tools for me?"

Magitech Studies was one of the disciplines of wizards, with functions similar to the field of machinery from Leo's previous life.

However, wizard Magitech Studies relied more on spiritual energy to trigger mechanical effects.

The principles were similar, but in truth, they were two entirely different systems. They could learn from each other, but they could not imitate one another.

"May I ask what kind of Magitech tool you require, Wizard?" the elf said. "Although our Woodpecker Hut also provides Magitech tools, we do not have many varieties."

Leo said, "A Magitech tool that can scout the surrounding environment on a battlefield."

The elf smiled. "For that, I recommend a Magitech tool exclusively sold by our shop: the Eyeball Cube."

"After activation, the Eyeball Cube can split into up to nine eyeballs, observing the area centered around the user. However, the Eyeball Cube has usage restrictions. Each eyeball can only be used twelve times at most. After every use, you must activate its retrieval function before it can be used again."

Leo asked, "How much does the Eyeball Cube cost?"

"It is very cheap, only two Magic Stones."

"Do you have any other recommendations?" Leo did not rush to buy it and instead asked further.

Hearing this, the elf said, "There is also a scouting-type Doll Band. When used, it can release waves to detect biological activity within a certain range. There is no limit to the number of times it can be used, but it is rather expensive, requiring ten Magic Stones."

The elf recommended several more scouting-type Magitech tools.

However, the one that best matched Leo's idea of cost-effectiveness was still the Eyeball Cube.

The others either had mediocre functions or were far too expensive.

In the end, Leo still bought the Eyeball Cube.

The next day, in the instruction room.

Sally looked at the half-finished potion in her hand and said, "Chris, although this potion still failed, you have improved compared to before."

"Oh, oh."

Chris was very excited.

Wasn't Sally saying that he had made great progress?

Chris asked, "Wizard Sally, at this pace, how much longer will it take before I can complete a potion?"

"I don't know. That depends on your effort and talent."

Hearing this, Chris drooped his head.

"Danville." Sally looked at Leo and said, "Have you prepared the potion you intend to brew?"

Unlike Chris, Leo had not attempted any potion brewing during this period.

"I've prepared almost everything. When the time comes, I'll have to trouble you, Wizard Sally."

"Alright." Sally responded, then said, "By the way, Danville, I heard Wizard Tesla mention that you previously asked him about knight orders?"

Leo said, "Yes. Earlier, I came across a knight order looking for wizards to hunt sea monsters. I was curious, so I went to ask Wizard Tesla about it."

Sally warned, "Danville, your talent is excellent, but once you are dead, you have nothing. What you need now is to earn Magic Stones and improve yourself in a safe environment, not an opportunity to gain an astonishing amount of wealth in Magic Stones all at once."

"Even if you are earning very few Magic Stones now, if you persist day after day, one day you will surely surpass those opportunists who chase quick gains and end up as corpses on the road to becoming wizards."

"I will remember your words."

Leo did not tell her that he had already accepted the knight order's mission.

Although Sally was the guide who had led him onto the path of wizardry, her way of doing things differed from his.

Judging from her tone, if Leo told her, it would only invite her opposition.

Sally was like a scholar, building up her knowledge in areas such as Potionology and earning Magic Stones. Leo, on the other hand, leaned more toward pursuing power. Earning Magic Stones was only for the sake of gaining greater power and growing faster.

There was one thing Leo had to admit: although he was a transmigrator and differed from ordinary Prossians, not being quite so battle-hungry, he was also very much like the Prossians when it came to pursuing power.

He did not yearn for battle or slaughter, yet he was filled with longing for greater power, and his actions were more adventurous and aggressive.

After the instruction ended, Leo returned to his room.

Leo began practicing his meditation method.

Only after reaching the limit of his cycles did Leo slowly stop.

With his continued meditation practice, his spiritual energy had crossed the threshold of 9 points.

Leo's current spiritual energy was already very close to that of a wizard apprentice.

In a few more days, Leo's spiritual energy would likely break through to 10, allowing him to begin attempting to condense a Spiritual Seed.

After reaching the limit of his meditation practice for the day, Leo focused his attention on studying the Withered Wood Potion Compendium.

The next day, in the instruction room, Leo looked at the bottles and jars on the table and began attempting to brew the Withered Wood Potion.

Wizard Sally stood at the side.

Chris was there as well.

Sally said, "Chris, today you must carefully observe Danville's potion brewing. Whether he succeeds or fails, you can gain experience from his process."

"Yes, Wizard Sally."

Sally then said to Leo, "Danville, before you begin brewing, there is something I need to explain to you."

"Normally, successfully brewing a potion does not count toward the Comprehensive Assessment score. However, if the potion you brew reaches high quality or perfect quality, you can receive an additional Comprehensive Assessment score."

"The Withered Wood Potion you intend to brew falls within the category of beginner potions, but it is closer to a simple-difficulty potion brewed by wizard apprentices."

"In terms of difficulty, it is half a tier harder than an ordinary beginner potion."

"The additional Comprehensive Assessment score has nothing to do with the potion you choose to brew. It only depends on the quality of the potion you brew."

Sally did not state it outright, but she was really persuading Leo to switch to brewing an ordinary beginner potion.

Hearing this, Leo said, "Wizard Sally, I intend to give it a try. Depending on the result, I will consider changing the potion I brew."

Hearing that Leo was willing to switch to a beginner potion rather than stubbornly digging his heels in over the Withered Wood Potion, Sally smiled. "Very good. Sometimes, knowing when to advance and when to retreat is also a fine quality."

With a flick of his fingertips, Leo began sorting and processing the materials.

The sorting and processing of herbs required separating and removing the useful parts from within them.

There were many methods that could be used for this process.

However, the most effective and broadly applicable one was the "Mental Force Sorting Method" Leo was currently using.
