In terms of resources, Fang Zhou had only awakened less than three months ago and had participated in just a single three-day No.1 Cave Hunting Trial. Among the materials he had accumulated, the only ones that could be considered truly valuable were the Life Crystal purified from the Ant Queen's Magic Crystal and the few Nature Series Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, the [Evergreen Fruit], that he planned to trade. Perhaps for some Professionals with special needs, relatively rare monster materials like Troll Hearts and Fierce Ant Queen Glands also hold a certain value.

However, looking at the few Apprentice-level resources in the trading section that were useful to him, the exchange conditions set by the sellers were extremely harsh. For instance, there was a Marvel named [Song of the Dream Weaver Music Box], which had the miraculous effect of nourishing the soul and was effective for Apprentice-level Professionals. Yet, the seller was demanding an exorbitant 300 contribution points, or he would only accept an exchange for specific Ocean Attribute Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that he needed.

Although Fang Zhou was quite wealthy, he wasn't crazy enough to spend a full 300 contribution points on a mere Apprentice-level soul-nourishing resource. As for Ocean Attribute Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, he didn't have a single one.

Fang Zhou looked with some frustration at the owner of the [Song of the Dream Weaver Music Box], who was a second-year, Upper-tier Apprentice seed student.

He was a bit puzzled. For this student, the [Song of the Dream Weaver Music Box] should still have some soul-nourishing effect. Why would he be willing to put it in the trading section?

After a moment of thought, he more or less understood. He guessed that this seed student, who clearly had an Ocean Attribute, was facing a situation similar to Senior Sister Liu Diewu, whom Meng Hongzhuang had introduced him to. They were both on the verge of breaking through the bottleneck from Upper-tier Apprentice to advance to the Lower-tier Black Iron rank.

That was why he was willing to publicly offer this precious Marvel, which was only effective for Apprentice-level Professionals. He was simply hoping to exchange it for an Ocean Attribute Heavenly and Earthly Treasure to help him solidify his foundation and increase his affinity during the Apprentice Stage.

Besides, as long as he successfully breaks through the bottleneck and advances to the Black Iron rank, the [Song of the Dream Weaver Music Box] will be ineffective for him anyway.

Understanding this, Fang Zhou shook his head with a hint of regret. He closed the trading interface for the [Song of the Dream Weaver Music Box] and turned his attention to other resources.

As he browsed through them one by one, Fang Zhou's disappointment grew. The sellers of these Apprentice-level resources for soul nourishment or spiritual recovery had set trading conditions that were more outrageous than the last.

Then again, for all Magic Professionals and Support Professionals, resources that can enhance the speed of soul nourishment or improve the efficiency of spiritual recovery are exceptionally valuable. The speed of soul nourishment determines a Professional's daily meditation time, which in turn directly affects the accumulation rate of their Spirit Attribute and the pace at which their power realm advances. Meanwhile, spiritual recovery efficiency not only affects one's endurance in prolonged battles but also dictates how quickly their Skill Proficiency improves. Any resource capable of improving these two aspects is extremely precious to any Professional.

Aside from standard-issue resources provided by the Sea City Military Academy like the Concentration Meditation Array, Soul Nourishing Potions, and Spirit Recovery Potions, most academy students would find it difficult to obtain any other similar resources during their four years of study.

Realizing this, Fang Zhou finally understood just how precious the Blue Fine quality [Moon Orchid Fragrance] was, the one Instructor Su Xinyan had given him during their first meeting. This [Moon Orchid Fragrance], a product of Instructor Su Xinyan's superb alchemy skills, was not just effective for Silver-level Professionals. It could even provide a boost to an Apprentice-level Professional like Fang Zhou, whose soul was relatively fragile.

If word of this effect got out, it wouldn't just be first-year students like Bai Xiaochan and Meng Hongzhuang; even Silver-level instructors like Shen Hongyu and Huang Qiuyue would be incredibly envious.

Fang Zhou touched the [Moon Orchid Fragrance] hanging from his chest, his heart filled with even more gratitude toward Instructor Su Xinyan.

Suddenly, he recalled the Slime Candle that Meng Hongzhuang had offered in exchange for the Nature Attribute Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, the [Evergreen Fruit]. Back then, aboard the Magic Energy Airship leaving the No.1 Cave, neither he nor Meng Hongzhuang had any idea just how rare and valuable a Slime Candle that could increase the recovery speed of one's Spiritual Power truly was!

Although Meng Hongzhuang had successfully traded that small ball of Slime Candle for the [Evergreen Fruit], greatly increasing her affinity for Natural Elements, she definitely didn't get the short end of the stick. But for Fang Zhou, trading the Evergreen Fruit he couldn't use for enough Slime Candle to last him a month was an extremely worthwhile deal. It was a win-win situation.

As he thought about this, Fang Zhou's finger slid across his personal terminal. He glanced at the lively and adoring conversation record in the [Undead Mage Support Team] chat group between his three little assistants and Instructor Su Xinyan, and a sudden feeling of warmth washed over him.

If the Abyssal Demons were completely suppressed and Blue Star returned to everlasting peace and tranquility, how wonderful it would be to have such lovely instructors and classmates by my side.

Lost in his thoughts, Fang Zhou found himself in a daze as his mind wandered further and further away.

He didn't know how much time had passed before the evening breeze rustled the curtains. The soft sound pulled Fang Zhou from the state of enlightenment he had once again fallen into.
