Wizard: I have an inventory

After being promoted to a second-class apprentice, the 64 will runes in Ryan's spiritual sea shone brightly. They were arranged neatly, and a faint but stable light flowed.

Ryan felt the improvement of his spiritual power, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment, but he also felt a hint of new pressure.

The emergence of all 64 will runes meant that he had reached the limit of his current level in the spiritual field, but with it, he also realized a realistic problem-the effect of the basic meditation method was gradually weakening.

He sat in the wooden house, closed his eyes and looked inward at the spiritual sea again, and a description of a torn page in the library flashed through his mind: "When the will rune reaches the limit, the improvement brought by the basic meditation method will become weaker and weaker, and the efficiency of meditation will drop significantly. To continue to break through, stronger external assistance is needed."

Ryan sighed softly, realizing that he was in this situation. The 64 will runes have fully emerged, which means that the speed at which he can improve his spiritual power through meditation will be much slower than before.

The basic meditation method was originally an important means for him to be promoted to first-class and second-class apprentices, but now, its effect is rapidly weakening. Although the accumulation of mental power is still slowly increasing, he knows that this improvement alone is far from enough to support him to reach the level of a third-class apprentice.

"It seems that if I want to continue to break through and advance to the third-class apprentice, I need more external help."

Ryan muttered to himself and began to think about his next plan.

He knew very well that if he wanted to advance from a second-class apprentice to a third-class apprentice, meditation alone would no longer be able to support him to quickly improve his mental power.

Terrazzo wear is one of the common ways to advance. This method can enhance the apprentice's mental power through weak and continuous meditation, but its effect is relatively slow and requires a long period of accumulation.

Ryan frowned, "If you only rely on terrazzo wear to improve, the process of promotion may be quite long. The accumulation of mental power is stable, but the time cost to break through the bottleneck of the third-class apprentice is too high."

It may not reach the critical point for decades. Although Ryan is only 16 years old now, once he is over 45 years old, the probability of breaking through to a formal wizard will be greatly reduced.

He thought in his heart that although terrazzo wear is safe, it is far from the fastest way.

Another shortcut is to rely on special potions - potions that improve mental power like the light green potion. Ryan recalled the feeling of taking the light green potion when he was promoted to a second-class apprentice. The powerful and direct mental power improvement allowed him to quickly break through the bottleneck.

If he can find a similar potion, or a more powerful mental power potion, he may be able to break through again in a short period of time and successfully enter the realm of a third-class apprentice.

"The light green potion is a good choice," Ryan muttered to himself, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, "but it can only provide a limited mental power improvement after all. If you can find a more powerful potion, the possibility of a breakthrough will be greater."

Even if a light green potion costs 100 magic stones, it can be saved up for a few years. What's more important is drug resistance. The only potion that can be bought to improve mental power is the light green potion.

He secretly decided in his heart that he would continue to look for more powerful potions through the market, or explore other ways to quickly improve mental power.

He knew that there were mysterious potion merchants and potion mentors in the academy who might be able to find several more advanced potions to help him cross the threshold of the third-class apprentice.

He must find a way to become a formal student. Most of the valuable advanced knowledge cannot even be bought with money and can only be passed down by the mentor.

Perhaps Demps should be asked to find out more.

"You can't rush for success, but you can't wait for opportunities." Ryan stood up with a firm look. He knew that advancing to the third-class apprentice would be his goal in the next stage, and he must seize every opportunity to improve himself.

Whether it is the accumulation of terrazzo wear or the help of potions, Ryan has made full plans for the next breakthrough.

He whispered to himself: "Only a stronger mental power and a higher wizard realm can allow me to go further on this road and live longer."

It's the agreed time again...

When Ryan handed the potion to Demps, Demps whispered: "Ryan, I heard some news recently, you have to be careful."

Dumps' eyes became solemn, as if there was something important to tell him.

"What news?" Ryan asked with a frown.

Demps looked around and confirmed that no one was approaching before continuing: "In recent days, several third-class apprentices have been abducted. You know, they all have at least low-level magic items on them. The only sign left at the scene is the broken bones that people in the Bone Forest usually use."

Ryan's heart sank. He had heard of the name of the Bone Forest before. It was a group of predators who only obeyed the dark and were famous for controlling the dead.

As the black wizard among the black wizards, there were not even a handful of pharmacists in such a large academy.

Apprentices being targeted by them almost meant that their lives and deaths were uncertain, and there was a great possibility that they would be trained into growing dead spirits.

"How many people were abducted?" Ryan asked in a low voice.

"There are currently three people known, but I'm sure this is just the beginning."

Demps responded in a low voice, his eyes deep, as if foreshadowing that a bigger conspiracy was about to unfold.

Ryan couldn't help but clench the potion in his hand, and a wave of uneasiness rose in his heart. What is the goal of the Bone Forest? Do those abducted apprentices have any chance of survival? And most importantly, will he himself become the next target?

Many apprentices knew that he was a pharmacist, so they could only avoid going to the wilderness.

There was a hint of chill in the air, as if the tentacles of the dark forces had quietly reached where they were.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now, Ryan, there is a small party on the second floor of the cafeteria tonight, do you want to come?"

Demps said with a hint of excitement.

Ryan was stunned, then smiled: "Party? Is there anything special?"

Demps patted Ryan on the shoulder and laughed heartily: "Nothing special, I just want to relax. Those who did the task with us last time will also come, so it's a good time for everyone to get together and talk about the recent situation. You are always busy making potions, and it's time to come out and relax."

Ryan thought about it. He has been immersed in potion making and training recently. It's rare to have the opportunity to relax with friends. He nodded and agreed: "Okay, it just so happens that I have something to talk to you about."

The two walked towards the cafeteria of the college together. At this time, the first floor of the cafeteria has gradually become lively. The students are sitting at their own tables in groups of three or four, enjoying dinner. Under the light, the cafeteria looks warm and lively.

Demps took Ryan directly to the second floor of the cafeteria. Compared with the noise on the first floor, the atmosphere on the second floor seems to be more quiet and comfortable, reserved for some apprentices and small groups to gather.

Ryan saw at a glance that several people who had done tasks with him before were already sitting by the window, laughing and talking.
