Chapter 85
"Favors?" Luo En's heart stirred, and he remembered her previous explanation:
When a student makes a breakthrough under the guidance of a mentor, the pure energy generated by this growth will feed back to the mentor, purifying the accumulated spiritual pollution in the form of "favors."
"My state recently has indeed been much better than in previous years." Lady Ailan stretched out her finger and tapped her smooth cheek:
"Although I still cannot maintain this peak state for a long time, the frequency and duration of recovery have both improved, which is why I can see you in this state today."
She looked at Luo En with deep meaning:
"So, don't worry that these scattered potion materials will cost me a lot. Every bit of your progress is the best reward for me."
Luo En bowed deeply, a warm current surging in his heart: "I will not let you down."
"Of course I believe you won't." Lady Ailan walked a few steps closer, her dark green eyes staring at Luo En, her gaze becoming deep:
"As for those guys who are eyeing you, you don't need to worry too much either."
Her voice dropped a bit, but it carried more power:
"Whether it's Cynthia or that Ao Li Fu who looks like he's wearing a smiley mask, they wouldn't dare to easily reach out to you now."
Seeing Luo En's surprised expression, Lady Ailan chuckled: "There are many eyes and ears in the Black Fog Jungle; these little movements are hard to escape my notice."
She reached out and patted Luo En on the shoulder: "Focus on preparing for your exam. No matter what unexpected situation arises, you must believe in your own judgment and technology."
As she spoke, a cold light flashed in the witch's dark green eyes:
"Before breaking through to a formal... no, before entering the probationary wizard sequence, you only need to consider how to work hard to improve yourself. As for other things, I, old Ailan, will naturally block them for you..."
The power contained in these words made Luo En's heart tremble.
The herb shop owner, who was usually strict but senile, showed a power at this moment that made him realize again the powerful magic power fluctuations when the other party restored her youthful state—that was the power belonging to a formal wizard.
"Thank you, my lady." Luo En nodded solemnly, the sense of urgency in his heart reduced a lot.
"Alright, hurry back and practice well with these materials."
Lady Ailan smiled slightly, her young and beautiful face looking even more moving under the light: "If you have any questions, you are always welcome to come to me."
When the young apprentice bowed slightly to her and left, he did not see the scene after he left the door of the potion shop...
The beautiful pink-haired witch slowly let out a breath, she pressed hard on the wound on her waist and abdomen, a look of extreme pain appearing on her face.
………………
Returning to the dormitory, Luo En immediately began to try to improve the formula according to Lady Ailan's suggestions.
The sobering potion with moon dew added indeed had greatly increased stability and could remain effective even at high temperatures.
As the practice deepened, his understanding of potion preparation also reached a new height.
He found that he could not only prepare potions step by step, but also adjust the formula in real time according to the subtle differences in the environment and materials to ensure the best results.
Whenever the day's practice ended, he would use the Time Guardian pocket watch to reset his physical state, and the next morning he could continue learning in a full state.
As the date of the potion master certification exam approached, Luo En practiced the various potion formulas taught to him by Lady Ailan repeatedly every day.
He felt that his skills were improving day by day, and he became more and more confident about the exam.
However, being closed off all day and grinding on potion-making things, the long practice time made his whole state a bit listless.
Luo En flipped through his plan, decided to find something else to do in the process of repeated review, just to change his brain.
He had already made up his mind. As the next quarter approached, he could just go to the school to sign up for those paid courses.
Taking paid courses is not only to improve his own strength, but also to broaden the breadth of extraordinary knowledge as soon as possible.
………………
In the morning, he organized his notes, reviewed the use of the silver wing separator, and walked out of the dormitory.
The weather in the Black Fog Jungle was as gloomy as ever, and a rare ray of sunlight pierced through the thick clouds, forming a golden beam of light above the forest.
Luo En took this as some kind of good omen and went to the school's public teaching area in a relaxed mood.
The gray tower where the teaching area was located formed a sharp contrast with the low buildings around it.
A notice was hung at the entrance of the teaching area, on which the names, times, and prices of various courses were written in ancient wizard language.
Luo En did not rush in, but carefully studied each item in front of the notice.
Recalling Trish's suggestion, he finally decided to sign up for the two basic courses: "Magic Circuit Optimization" and "Spiritual Stability Techniques."
Although these two courses were only introductory basic courses, they were the cornerstone of all advanced spell research, and countless powerful wizards started from this kind of course.
"These two courses cost a total of fifty magic stone fragments..."
He touched the bag at his waist, which carried the magic stone fragments he had worked hard to save.
"The price is a bit expensive, I hope the harvest it brings can be worthy of this price."
Walking into the teaching area lobby, a middle-aged man in a dark gray robe was sitting at the registration desk, organizing the documents on the table with an expressionless face.
Seeing Luo En approach, he raised his head, his gaze scanning up and down quickly like a scanner.
"What's the matter, apprentice?" His voice was flat and without ups and downs, as if he had been tired of all questions for many years.
"I want to sign up for the two courses 'Magic Circuit Optimization' and 'Spiritual Stability Techniques'." Luo En replied politely.
The intermediate apprentice took out a thick registration book and began to flip through it: "Name?"
"Luo En Ra Er Fu."
His finger stopped on a page, his brow furrowed slightly, and then relaxed.
"Luo En Ra Er Fu... born in the Fa Lu Ke Kingdom, primary apprentice..."
He muttered to himself, then suddenly raised his head, a trace of rare interest in his eyes.
"You are listed on the 'Annual Observation List' and marked as 'Intermediate Potential'."
The duty officer's expression was slightly surprised, "This is rare among primary apprentices."
Luo En's heart stirred; he vaguely guessed that this had something to do with Lady Ailan's recommendation: "I'm not quite sure what this means?"
"This means you can enjoy a certain discount on basic courses."
The duty officer lowered his head again and opened another book: "The two courses originally cost fifty magic stone fragments, but for you, it only costs forty."
Luo En smiled slightly; being able to get a discount was naturally a good thing.
He took out a money bag from his waist and counted out forty magic stone fragments and placed them on the table.
Those crystal-clear fragments shimmered with a faint light under the light.
"Fortunately, these two courses happen to have new classes starting this afternoon."
