Mage Fang Ka gazed at Xia Lin in front of him, his expression somewhat complex.

It's important to know that Xia Lin still takes a considerable amount of time every day to study alchemy books.

If she didn't study alchemy books and devoted all her time to practicing magic... then the speed of improving her magic affinity...

Fang Ka hadn't previously discussed Xia Lin's practice of magic with her, so he had only just realized it now.

Did I stumble upon a treasure?

What does such a terrifying speed of magic affinity improvement signify?

It signifies that she can easily master all non-conflicting magic systems and become proficient in all of them.

For ordinary mages, this is utterly impossible.

Most mages, throughout their entire lives, typically focus on only one system of magic.

Thus, we can see how difficult it is to improve magic affinity.

If Xia Lin can master all non-conflicting magic systems, it would be quite easy for her to be unrivaled among mages of the same tier.

"Mage Fang Ka, is there something on my face?" Xia Lin asked, somewhat shy under Fang Ka's gaze, lowering her head slightly.

Fang Ka gently shook his head, "No, it's just that your performance is quite satisfying to me."

Xia Lin became even more bashful, her cheeks turning a lovely shade of red, "Thank you for the compliment, Mage Fang Ka. I need to work even harder..."

Fang Ka once again reached out to ruffle Xia Lin's hair, "Mhmm, I'll come again tomorrow evening."

The texture of Xia Lin's hair was so pleasant that Fang Ka couldn't help but ruffle it a few more times.

Xia Lin's face blushed nearly to her ears, "Yes, Mage Fang Ka, I'll be waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ka said no more, glancing once more to Noel on a distant rock. She had already flipped over and was lying on the rock, her little face pressed against it, puffed up, with a line of drool trailing...

Fang Ka shook his head lightly, finding it hard to imagine that such a cute and foolish mermaid would enjoy fighting.

Turning away from the beach, Fang Ka returned to his exclusive recliner to continue his meditation cultivation.

Over the next three days, Fang Ka routinely opened the Gana Forbidden Domain at noon and midnight to accept the corpses brought by the players, while in the evening he went to resolve Xia Lin's doubts.

On the third night, after the players exited the Gana Forbidden Domain, Fang Ka announced to them that the Gana dungeon was officially closed.

In fact, some Gana still remained inside, not completely cleared, estimated that if the players entered once more, it could be thoroughly cleaned.

However, Fang Ka planned to leave some behind, as he would need them for some alchemy experiments later.

He hoped not to have too many Gana, which could pose a certain level of threat; now that the players had cleared most of them, it would suffice.

Some players were puzzled why the dungeon was closed before being completely cleared, but soon Mr. Zhou provided an explanation for them.

"This Gana dungeon must have a hidden time limit setting. Think about it, when you took on this dungeon task, wasn't there a time limit?"

"So, it's only normal for the dungeon itself to have a hidden time limit, isn't it more reasonable that way?"

"Thus, don't question the game's problems. It's our own players' capability issue. It's because we weren't skilled enough to clear it within the time limit."

This explanation quickly gained widespread agreement among the players.

One by one, the players calmed down and realized, vowing to work harder and improve themselves.

Mage Fang Ka greatly appreciated Mr. Zhou's talent for thinking from others' perspectives and deducing reasonable explanations based on subtle details.

With the dungeon mission over, the veteran players resumed their daily gathering and delivery duties.

That evening, Fang Ka once again arrived at the beach.

"Mage Fang Ka, you're here," Xia Lin habitually put down her book and swam over to Fang Ka.

Fang Ka nodded to Xia Lin, "Go ahead and tell me all your questions today."

Xia Lin eagerly poured out all the troubles she encountered today.

Without delay, Fang Ka provided Xia Lin with clear and detailed explanations.

After explaining everything, Fang Ka stated his purpose for today, "Xia Lin, you've now achieved a certain level in the alchemy domain."

Xia Lin looked at Fang Ka with gratitude, "This is all thanks to your diligent teaching, Mage Fang Ka."

Fang Ka reached out to ruffle Xia Lin's hair, "I think, besides theoretical knowledge, you now need some practice."

"How about this: I'll often concoct some alchemy potions for my subordinates. From now on, you can take over the practice of concocting them."

"For materials and containers, just have the merfolk go to the Ancient Castle to fetch them. Once the potions are brewed, have the merfolk send them to the castle for a look, and then I'll arrange for them to be delivered to a suitable place."

The alchemy potions that players need now are the Basic Enhancement Alchemy Potion and the Low Tier Enhanced Alchemy Potion.

Naturally, the finished products would be sent to the Divine Hall, but having the merfolk bring the potions to the castle first was mainly to give Xia Lin a sense of recognition and success.

To tell her, "Good student, the alchemy potions you brewed will be examined and appreciated by your mentor, as an expression of my attention to your work and respect for your achievements."

This was actually just a symbolic gesture, but when delivered to the respective area of the Divine Hall, the responsible merfolk would handle it naturally from there.

These two types of alchemy potions could all be made using the alchemy platform Fang Ka gave to Xia Lin.

As for the Middle Tier Enhanced Alchemy Potion, that alchemy platform couldn't make it; higher quality was needed, and players didn't need it currently, so there was no rush.

Upon hearing Fang Ka's words, Xia Lin's eyes widened with excitement, "Oh? Really? Mage Fang Ka? Can I practice right now? What if I ruin it?"

In response, Fang Ka reached out again to ruffle Xia Lin's hair, feeling the smooth texture under his hand, and closed his eyes, "Xia Lin, I have confidence in you, and you should have confidence in yourself too! Besides, they are just some magic potions. If they go wrong, they go wrong, it doesn't matter, and I won't blame you."

"As long as you make progress, I'll feel gratified and proud!"

Touched, Xia Lin looked up, "Mage Fang Ka! Thank you for your generosity and trust! I definitely won't let you down!"

Fang Ka withdrew his hand in satisfaction, crossing his hands behind his back, "Xia Lin, you have a high talent for alchemy. I've placed great expectations on you, hoping that someday we can discuss alchemy knowledge together and become both mentor and friend!"

Xia Lin nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice, "Mage Fang Ka, I'll definitely work twice as hard!"

"Hmm, work hard, study well." Fang Ka contentedly ruffled Xia Lin's little head again, preparing to return.
