The time that followed.

David cultivated while managing the territory's affairs.

Messages from all over the Silver Moon Kingdom continued to pour into Frost Wolf Ridge through couriers.

After more than a month of battles.

The Duke of the Western Border and the Kingdom Army still could not breach the Southern Fortress.

David wasn't surprised by this; he had personally witnessed the power of the fortress's barrier.

Moreover, the Southern Fortress was personally overseen by the Duke of the Southern Border, far superior to the Northern Fortress.

The Flame Clan had maintained the Southern Fortress for hundreds of years.

They might already know the secrets of the Southern Fortress and could fully harness the power of the Flame Barrier.

However, with the Silver Moon Royal Family's resources and two Tier Six powerhouses, they should still be able to breach the Southern Fortress.

"Even if the new king manages to win, the cost will be significant."

Reina spoke, both evaluating whether the new king would take action against Frost Wolf Ridge.

"He definitely won't act against us in the short term."

"It's already harvest season, and winter is next."

"The new king, Bronco, will likely use this time to regroup the troops and only act against Frost Wolf Ridge after the spring planting."

David made his assessment.

In any case, Frost Wolf Ridge's goal was to strengthen as much as possible before the Royal Capital took action.

...

Wizard Castle.

The witches were immersed in the study of wizard legacy.

Apart from cultivating with Reina, David also joined in the study of the wizard legacy.

Additionally, he started consciously searching for the materials needed to concoct potions in the Northern Lands.

Perhaps because the Ice Wizard Organization itself was based in the Northern Lands, the materials needed for potion concoction could surprisingly be found there.

After a period of collection.

He managed to gather all the materials needed to concoct the Basic Magic Potion from the potion legacy.

Inside the potion chamber where David and Liya had once concocted the Frost Wolf Secret Medicine.

David was attempting to concoct the Basic Magic Potion with Ye Zi.

Ye Zi's talent as an alchemist was indeed exceptional, especially her innate ability to control various magic plants.

David, on the other hand, possessed the Eye of Magic Power, able to sense the magical changes during the potion concoction process.

Ye Zi was carefully handling the magic plants at the moment.

Relying on her Plant Control Talent, she could easily manipulate the magic plants with magic.

David watched quietly from the side.

Ye Zi's beauty was not just in her appearance but also in her focused demeanor and innate tranquil aura while working.

Her long hair gently draped over her shoulders.

It swayed slightly with her movements, like an elf from the Magic Forest.

Her eyes sparkled with wisdom.

Every move she made while stirring the potion was filled with rhythm, fully immersed in her task.

David's gaze lingered on her, a sense of peace welling up in his heart.

Her presence seemed to calm all disturbances, making one's mind as tranquil as water.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a golden halo on both of them in the potion chamber.

David smiled softly, feeling deeply drawn to this serene beauty, as if time had paused in that moment.

Their teamwork became more harmonious, with magic flowing between them.

Under Ye Zi's guidance, David's Eye of Magic Power captured every subtle change in the potion more acutely.

Meanwhile, Ye Zi's plant talent made the potion fusion flawless.

Seeing the magic in the potion beginning to merge, Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief.

The potion stabilized under their combined efforts, its color shifting from deep purple to a gentle blue-green, with the magic fluctuations becoming steady and strong.

They exchanged a smile, evidently successful in this experiment.

David couldn't help but say to Ye Zi, "This potion is as beautiful as you."

Hearing this, a blush spread across Ye Zi's cheeks as she turned her head away in slight panic.

Over time, their collaboration grew increasingly harmonious, and their relationship seemed to undergo subtle changes as well.

David noticed the shyness of the young girl before him and refrained from pressing further.

He turned his attention to the bottle of Basic Magic Potion, "This magical fluctuation is enough to aid low-level mages in their cultivation."

Ye Zi followed his gaze to the potion and nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, they tested the Basic Magic Potion and had Ye Zi ingest it and enter a meditation state.

The effects of the Basic Magic Potion were just as they had predicted.

The potion had a very noticeable effect on low-level mages, making it entirely applicable to the witches.

"Thank you, Lord Duke."

A faint smile appeared on Ye Zi's face.

She looked at David and responded softly, "Thank you for your Eye of Magic Power."

David smiled gently, running a hand through Ye Zi's light green hair, "I should be the one thanking you. The future potions of the Wizard Castle will depend on you."

Ye Zi instinctively shrank back a bit but didn't avoid it, merely blushing slightly.

David stopped teasing the shy Ye Zi, and they began concocting the Basic Magic Potion once again.

With earlier experience, it was much easier this time around.

They eventually no longer needed the aid of the Eye of Magic Power, as Ye Zi could concoct it on her own.

...

Inside the Wizard Castle.

The witches looked at the potion with faces full of delight.

"Ye Zi, thank you."

Cynthia happily ran up to hug Ye Zi.

She was the witch who found it hardest to focus on cultivation, and now with the aid of the Magic Potion, cultivation would be much more manageable.
