Wizard: Max level talent, starting from zero-ring trick.

Chapter 44 Changes, Cultivation Sequence

When Ian woke up again, it was the next day.

"Ah, that feels so good!"

Ian got out of bed and stretched out his arms.

I'm not worried about being late for my department.

Vivian told him that she had already asked for leave for him and that he could go to the department when he woke up.

But it's still better to go early.

After getting dressed, Ian headed towards the Potions Department.

It was noon, and the people in the Potions Department had almost finished their work and were heading outside.

Among them were people from HAL Laboratory.

At that moment, they headed outside together, their eyes landing on Ian, who was coming from the opposite direction.

Their gazes changed instantly.

The Potions Department is large, responsible for most of the potions for the Horton School of Wizardry, but it is also small, so small that even a little news can spread throughout the entire department.

So that afternoon, they learned why Hal was so angry.

It turns out that Ian has been promoted to junior pharmacist.

"It's only been three months!"

"So fast!"

Their eyes gleamed, and they were deeply shocked.

Normally, it takes one to three years for a wizard to pass the junior apothecary exam.

A year goes by extremely fast.

Besides, it was in a laboratory in Hal.

They know best what kind of suppression Ian has suffered.

This also made me realize just how terrifying Ian really is.

This is a potion-making genius like Victor.

"Good afternoon, Pharmacist Ian!"

As they passed by, they all greeted each other.

Whatever the power struggles and scheming among those above are irrelevant to these junior pharmacists.

Why should pharmacists make things difficult for each other?

That's Hal's own business; it has nothing to do with them.

"good afternoon."

Ian was also surprised, as this was the first time these people had greeted him.

Many people around recognized the name Ian as the apothecary who had given Hal a hard time.

Although they didn't know each other, they all cast kind glances at them.

Ian responded to each one.

My heart was filled with countless emotions.

He received more goodwill in one morning than he had in the previous three months, and that was only because he had passed the junior pharmacist exam in three months.

Enter the potions department and go up to the third floor.

Ian also met an unexpected person.

"Mammon?"

Mammon was walking out of another room not far away, carrying a box in his arms.

"Ian!"

Mammon looked up and saw it was Ian. He felt a pang of sadness and said bitterly, "Congratulations, Ian, you've advanced to the level of a junior apothecary."

"What's wrong with you?"

Mammon shrugged, feigning nonchalance, and said, "It's nothing. I'm leaving the Potions Department today to prepare for the Combat Department!"

Ian paused for a moment, then said:

Wishing you all the best!

"Thanks."

Mammon nodded and quickly walked around Ian.

As soon as he came down the stairs, his expression suddenly turned somber, as if he had aged several years.

"Same circumstances, but different outcomes..."

Mammon's inner thoughts were complex.

Ian faced an even more difficult situation than him, but he left after only three months.

He spent three years trying, but still failed.

The difference is unbelievably huge!

.......

I walked into the office.

"Ian, you're here!"

"minister!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ian sat down opposite Vivian.

"Congratulations on becoming a junior pharmacist. Let me now tell you about the specific benefits."

Vivian offered her congratulations.

Ian's expression also became serious.

I've worked hard for three months, isn't this what I've been striving for?

Vivian stated directly, "There are three benefits to becoming a junior pharmacist."

First, your monthly Magic Stones will increase from five to ten.

Secondly, you are now qualified to browse the first floor of the department library and to purchase wizarding legacies.

Third, you have independent allocation authority, but you still need to come to the department fifteen days a month. If you want to contact me for any specific medication, just contact me directly.

Ian's eyes lit up immediately.

Compared to when I first joined the department, this is a significant leap in terms of compensation.

The importance of magic stones to him goes without saying. Five more each month, sixty a year, is definitely a considerable sum of money.

And the library's qualifications.

The Potions Department has its own independent library, which is much more in-depth than the academy's library.

His potion identification skills haven't improved in a long time.

Some even have the qualifications to purchase wizarding legacies, but they don't know what wizarding legacies are like.

However, it doesn't matter much compared to the last point.

You only need to come for fifteen days a month.

Ian is finally free.

"What about the wear and tear?"

Ian pursed his lips.

"As long as you don't go too far, don't exceed half."

Vivian didn't care.

As the vice president of the Potions Department, she does have this much authority.

sizzle!

Ian gasped.

If this were the case with an ordinary wizard, he would simply roll out of the potions department on the spot.

You can apply for the necessary materials, and the waste will not exceed half, which is almost equivalent to the department fully supporting you in preparing the potion.

Just as Victor said.

With Vivian, you must demonstrate sufficient value.

If the value is sufficient, the reward will far exceed expectations.

"However, this only applies to basic potions. To prepare advanced potions, you must at least have a thorough understanding of the potion-making tradition."

Vivian offered a reminder.

It's not a restriction, but a reminder to pay attention to the basics.

"clear."

Ian nodded at first, then paused, startled.

"A legacy of potion-making?"

It is said that the Potions Department has a complete lineage of potion science.

Are we finally qualified to make contact now?

"but...."

Seeing that he was happy, Vivian changed the subject and became serious:

"But don't get too excited yet. I will fully support you, but you also need to work hard yourself."

"Minister, please speak!"

Ian looked at Vivian.

I understand there are other things to say.

"What appears to be a fierce battle between the outside world and the Blackstone School is actually just an appetizer; neither school has gotten serious yet."

what?

Ian was stunned; this wasn't even the real thing yet!

"The intensity will likely increase further, and the school is already preparing to send apothecaries to the front lines. Doug is in charge of this," Vivian said, pursing her lips.

"Will they send me to the front lines?"

Ian was completely dumbfounded.

Isn't this a bit too sudden?

"I've worked on it, and currently it's tentatively set that only wizards who have been in the academy for two and a half years will be sent out!" Vivian said.

Two and a half years?

Ian has only been enrolled for a year, which means he still has a year and a half to go.

and many more......

"Does the minister mean that the war will continue in a year and a half, and I will be sent out then?"

Ian made a quick deduction.

Vivian nodded: "As long as I'm here, it won't happen, but nobody knows what it will be like then."

"Is there any way to do it?"

Ian frowned.

"Yes, that means entering the culture sequence."

Vivian's eyes were bright, as if she had this in mind.

Culture sequence?

Ian waited for Vivian to explain.

"The so-called training sequence is prepared by the academy for those who are capable of reaching higher levels of wizardry. As long as they advance to the level of second-class wizard apprentice or intermediate profession within two years of enrollment, they can enter."

"There are many advantages, and being directly under the school's management means Doug can't do anything about you," Vivian said.

Ian's eyes sharpened!

Judging from the name of this sequence and Vivian's serious expression, the cultivation sequence is probably not simple.

Moreover, these requirements are ridiculously high.

Reaching the second tier within two years is almost impossible for someone with a third-tier talent; it's more likely only for someone with a second-tier talent.

Even intermediate-level professions are not easy.

Although I don't know much about it, using the same conditions as a second-class wizard would probably be extremely difficult.

"Does the minister want me to advance to the intermediate pharmacist level?" Ian guessed.

"Yes." Vivian nodded. "Whether for my sake or for yours, cultivating a sequence is an opportunity."

The school of thought is too small; if you want to go further, then you absolutely shouldn't miss it.

Vivian took a deep breath.

Ian nodded.

There's no way he can get out unless he's gone mad, so there's only one option left.

Within a year and a half.

Advancement to the next training sequence.
