The "Golden Dream" arrived at Bodo Port in the afternoon.

After Edwina Teleportation back the "Mysticism Mentor" Potion, Sebastian immediately began his Advancement.

Based on his experience, he naturally didn't need anyone to accompany him, which was why Lorry and the others were temporarily kicked out of the captain's cabin and left outside to get some fresh air.

As they pushed open the door, the two saw the light on the surface of the White Bone Ring recede.

He laughed heartily, transformed into a white light, and flew towards them, slipping his finger onto Lorry's thumb. "Kid, thanks a lot this time."

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have had a hard time recovering to my original level."

Lorry smiled and shook his head, "If that's the case, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive today without your guidance and help."

Your advancement in status also benefits me.

He paused briefly, his smile fading, and his tone becoming more serious:

"Besides, we share a common goal."

Upon hearing this, Sebastian's laughter quickly ceased, and he said in a muffled voice:

"You're right." A silence fell over the room.

Edwina, standing nearby, glanced at the person and the ring, her eyes flickering slightly, and said thoughtfully, "Teacher, if you need help..."

Sebastian interrupted her, saying:

"Alright, little Edwina, this kid and I thank you for your kindness, but this is our business, there's no need to involve you."

"Leaving that aside, have you resolved the problems you identified earlier?"

Edwina shook her head slightly. "No."

After she finished speaking, she briefly recounted the discussion between the two of them.

Sebastian thought for a moment and said:

There is no solution to this problem.

"That kid is actually right. After all, Charm are inanimate objects and can only be used once, so some degree of waste is inevitable."

"I know, but..."

Edwina hesitated, still feeling that this approach wasn't perfect; it merely masked the problem with scarce materials, not truly solving it. Listening to their conversation, Lorry suddenly had an idea:

"What if we don't stick to the form of Charm? By removing the one-time use limitation, using High Sequence materials will no longer be wasteful."

Edwina was silent for a few seconds, then her eyes suddenly lit up:

"An extraordinary item?"

"Yes!" Lorry's tone was also slightly excited.

Extraordinary objects also possess supernatural powers, but they are completely different from Mystical Item and do not contain Beyonder Characteristic.

In short:

The biggest difference between the two is that the Spirituality of the former is gradually depleted over time or with increased use, until it loses its extraordinary quality.

For example, his Serrated Dagger was an extraordinary item.

"Teacher, what do you think?" Edwina looked at the White Bone Ring.

Sebastian pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice:

"It's worth a try. At least in my opinion, it's feasible."

"If successful, it will not only solve the problem of insufficient material quality, making it difficult to bear more Spirituality, but also avoid the waste that might result from short-distance travel."

As he spoke, the aged face manifesting on the Mask the White Bone Ring smiled:

"Sure, kid."

"You actually stumbled upon a pretty good idea by accident."

"What do you mean by accident... You two were clearly restricted by the form of the Charm..." Lorry muttered to himself in annoyance.

Edwina's tone was slightly uneven as she said:

"Want to try it now?"

"I can simulate the abilities of a ' Artisan,' so creating extraordinary items shouldn't be a problem."

"However, there aren't many of the High Sequence materials you sent last time left. I've turned most of them into Charm, so I'm afraid they won't be enough to support all the research."

Understanding the meaning of "Vice Admiral Iceberg," Lorry nodded slightly.

"I'm in charge of providing the materials." At this moment, Sebastian coughed irritably, "Hey you two kids, what's with the way you're spending money on research?"

"Could this attempt directly utilize High Sequence Spirituality materials? What if it's not feasible? Wouldn't that be a complete waste of precious materials?"

"First, experiment with some basic materials to create reusable, similar items. Once you've confirmed the feasibility, then proceed with the actual experiments."

Edwina and Lorry exchanged an embarrassed glance.

I was so excited that I didn't even think of that... Our teacher taught us that before... Edwina thought with a slight sense of shame, her expression unchanged.

I've learned something new... I didn't know it could be done that way... But I must say, verifying the feasibility of the theory before conducting the experiment definitely reduces costs...

No wonder he was once the teacher of "Vice Admiral Iceberg"... Lorry's thoughts drifted.

Little did they know, Sebastian was also secretly relieved.

Sometimes, having students who are too outstanding can be a very troublesome thing... Relieved that he had regained his pride, he cleared his throat and began to issue orders:

"Little Edwina, you find a quiet room to take charge of the preliminary experiments. You can do that yourself; we don't need this kid."

"As for you, don't worry about the experiment for now. I need to tell you about the changes after the level is upgraded, so you won't feel bad about wasting that money."

Facing his former teacher, the "Vice Admiral Iceberg" obediently nodded: Go to Bing search for the latest chapter!

"Good."

After saying that, she took out a black wooden box that shimmered with iridescent light from the drawer of the captain's desk, turned around and headed straight for her Bedroom.

"Follow me." The White Bone Ring broke free of its restraints and flew towards the Sofa area.

Lorry immediately followed, full of anticipation.

He was genuinely curious about just how much help an upgrade in the level of the Sealed Artifact could bring.

In the Sofa area, White Bone Ring floated in mid-air, its manifested mouth constantly moving.

"Little Edwina must have told you back then, right? After I digested this ' Mysticism Mentor ' Potion, the strength of my simulation abilities increased."

Lorry nodded slightly, without saying a word.

Sebastian continued:

"In addition, you can also use this ring to use some unique secret techniques that I mastered back then, a total of eighteen. "Among them, the first nine are gifts from the God and belong to the most advanced batch of secret techniques, but the premise is that you can find the right scenario to use them."

I won't elaborate further here; I'll remind you when the time is right.

"What I really want to tell you is the last nine secret techniques—all of which I invented and created, and were specially selected for you."

Upon hearing this, Lorry's heart stirred, and his eyes shone with even greater anticipation.

Instead of answering directly, Sebastian asked him another question, "What do you see as your biggest disadvantage right now?"

Disadvantages... Lorry fell into deep thought and tentatively asked:

"Sequence too low?"

"Anything else?" This was clearly not the answer Sebastian wanted to hear.

Furthermore... whether an Beyonder is powerful depends mainly on two things: their Sequence and external forces such as Mystical Item... For me, the last thing I lack is external forces, whether it's Mystical Item or Charm... and it has nothing to do with the Sequence... Lorry thought seriously for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and asked in return:

"Spirituality?"
