Chapter 77 Planning

But after the cultivator's Qi training level, there are two more levels: Qi training level eight and Qi training level nine, and then comes the foundation building.

But the wizard has to jump directly from the third-level wizard apprentice to the first-level official wizard!

This means that the gap between an apprentice wizard and a full-fledged wizard is extremely exaggerated.

The so-called "promotion potion" is probably a necessity for completing this huge leap. Its medicinal power must be extremely overbearing, and it may even force a certain level of life to be elevated, so there will be side effects.

"If the gap is so huge, then the damage to my body from the advancement potion might be much greater than I expected..." Benjamin thought thoughtfully.

Most importantly, there is a success rate for promotion to a formal wizard.

If you are unlucky and fail to get promoted, the damage caused by drinking the potion will not be restored.

He didn't want to damage his foundation in order to advance. If it also damaged his Qi training, it would be a waste of time.

Jemin began to wonder if there was any way to reduce the damage or find an alternative.

"At this stage, the best way is to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage before becoming a full-fledged wizard."

Relying on the life essence and physical strength of the foundation-building period, the damage caused by the promotion potion is not worth mentioning.

Moreover, the similar life essence can greatly reduce the risks when he is promoted to a formal wizard and increase the success rate.

"In that case... I still need to find a way to get a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Jieming is quite confident in his talent for cultivating immortals.

Although it took him quite a while to reach the first level of Qi training, his practice progressed by leaps and bounds after he learned how to mobilize elemental power to replenish himself.

In just five years, he advanced from the first level of Qi Refining to the seventh level, and his progress continued without him noticing any bottlenecks.

Benjamin is confident that he can successfully build his foundation without the foundation-building pill. However, the main function of the foundation-building pill is to help the cultivator stabilize his state during the promotion. It is also good to have a foundation-building pill to escort him during the promotion.

"In this case, I'm afraid I'll have to start learning Potions and Alchemy from now on."

If you want to make the Foundation Establishment Pill in the wizarding world, you definitely can't find the original materials, so you can only find a substitute.

To achieve this, both alchemy and potions need to be learned.

If his understanding of the two kinds of knowledge was deep enough, Benjamin wanted to see if he could use the method of cultivating immortality to reduce the damage caused by the advancement potion to the body.

Of course, studying Potions is not just for this purpose, there is another more important reason.

"That's good. This way, I can lay the foundation for my future promotion to a formal wizard."

The third key point to becoming a formal wizard is to build the Ring of Truth in the sea of ​​​​spirituality.

This is the symbol of a formal wizard. The nine truth runes in the spiritual sea are condensed into a ring with a special structure, giving it more powerful power and binding it to the wizard's core soul.

Moreover, when constructing the Ring of Truth, the Magic Net mentioned a trick: if the truth runes selected inside the Ring of Truth can form a complete witchcraft model with each other, then the difficulty of constructing the Ring of Truth will be greatly reduced.

This is because the witchcraft model itself is a complete conceptual system. Integrating it into the Ring of Truth can make the structure of the Ring of Truth more stable and coordinated, thereby reducing the risk and difficulty of promotion.

Among the runes of truth that Benjamin had chosen, the alchemy of alchemy and the analysis of runes had been successfully constructed, but the basic witchcraft of alchemy: extraction had not made any progress.

After all, Benjamin has been mainly studying talismans, witchcraft and magic weapons in recent years, and has indeed neglected the study of potions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Benjamin decided that it was time to expand his studies to the areas of Potions and Alchemy.

Having decided on this idea, Benjamin didn't waste any time and took action immediately.

He first started with the academy's magic network and collected a lot of knowledge about potions.

From the most basic material identification and medicinal property classification to the proportion and refining techniques of medicines.

Because he has the ability to make money, Benjamin never hesitates to practice during the learning process.

Basically, every time he studied potion knowledge, he would try to refine some basic potions to deepen his impression and improve his learning progress.

If you apply what you learn like this, your learning efficiency will be very fast.

Although the result is that the failure rate of refining Benjamin's potion is terribly high, if an ordinary apprentice dares to do this, he will probably go bankrupt soon.

But considering the points reserve that Benjamin has now, these expenses are just a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning at all.

While studying potions, Benjamin also studied alchemy in the Avenue Book Pavilion every day.

Unlike alchemy which focuses on external instruments and precise proportions, alchemy in the cultivation system focuses more on the alchemist's own control of true fire, guidance of spiritual consciousness, and deep understanding of pharmacology.

Unlike magic potions, this skill does not directly provide fixed formulas and refining methods, but instead describes in detail the growth environment, energy composition, yin and yang and five elements properties of various spiritual herbs, spiritual medicines, and spiritual minerals, as well as the laws of interaction between them.

It sounds similar to the traditional Chinese medicine in the previous life, but it contains many more items that can only be tested by monks.

Even after each type of alchemy, there are recommendations for various books on the pharmacology of herbs and the medicinal properties of minerals.

Compared to potions, alchemy is more like a philosophy, an art about life, nature and rules.

Although this would greatly increase the difficulty of practicing alchemy, for Benjamin, this type of alchemy was actually a good thing.

He studied these things in order to understand the deeper interaction principles between materials, the essential laws of energy conversion, and how to reconcile the conflicts between substances with different properties at the microscopic level.

And the current alchemy technique just helps him fill in this part of knowledge.

If it is potions, then to learn this kind of knowledge you must be at least a high-level wizard.

The study of potions and alchemy is like two rivers, converging and blending in Jemin's knowledge system.

Through studying both, he gained a new and deeper understanding of elements, energy, vitality, and the nature of materials.

This knowledge in turn helped Jemin improve his talismanic magic tools.

He discovered that when refining talismanic magical instruments, if one could more accurately grasp the "medicinal properties" of the material itself - that is, its inherent energy flow patterns and activity, he would be able to better integrate the rune array with it, making the talismanic magical instrument more stable, energy conduction smoother, and even slightly reducing consumption.

The results of these practices can in turn promote his understanding of knowledge. For a time, Benjamin was immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
