However, after the Qi Cultivation Level, there are still the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer and Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, followed by the Foundation Establishment.
But a Wizard has to leap directly from a Third Level Wizard Apprentice to a First Level Official Wizard!
This means the gap between a Wizard Apprentice and an Official Wizard is extremely significant.
The so-called "Promotion Potion" is likely essential for completing this enormous leap. Its potency must be exceedingly fierce, even forcibly raising a life level, which is why it has side effects.
"If the gap is that big, the damage caused by that Promotion Potion might be much greater than I initially thought..." Jeming mused.
Most importantly, the promotion to an Official Wizard also has a success rate.
If unlucky and the promotion fails, the damage caused by consuming the potion will not recover.
He certainly didn't want to harm his foundation for the sake of promotion, and if it further damaged his Qi Cultivation, it would not be worth the loss.
Jeming began thinking about whether there was a way to reduce this damage or find an alternative solution.
"At the current stage, the best way is to first advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage before seeking promotion to an Official Wizard."
Relying on the life essence and body strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage, the damage caused by the Promotion Potion would be negligible.
Moreover, the similar life essence would significantly reduce the danger in promoting to an Official Wizard, increasing the success rate.
"In that case... do I need to find a Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Jeming was quite confident in his talent for Cultivation Immortality.
Though it initially took a considerable time to reach Qi Cultivation First Layer, once he found a way to channel Elemental Power to replenish himself, his progress soared like a thousand miles a day.
In just five years, he had progressed from Qi Refining First Layer to Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, with continuous advancement and almost no bottleneck.
Jeming was confident that he could achieve Foundation Establishment smoothly even without a Foundation Establishment Pill, although the pill primarily assists cultivators in maintaining stability during the promotion. Having one for support would be advantageous.
"In this case, I probably need to start learning Magic Potion and Alchemy from now on."
To make a Foundation Establishment Pill in the Wizard World, one certainly couldn't find the original materials and would have to find substitutes.
To achieve this, one must study both Alchemy and Magic Potion.
If his understanding of both types of knowledge is deep enough, Jeming wondered if he could devise a way to use cultivation methods to reduce the Promotion Potion's harm to the body.
Of course, learning Magic Potion wasn't just for this purpose; there was another, even more important reason.
"Well, this also helps lay a foundation for my future promotion to an Official Wizard."
The third critical point in becoming an Official Wizard is constructing the Ring of Truth in the Sea of Spirit.
This is the mark of an Official Wizard, condensing the nine Truth Runes in the Sea of Spirit into a ring with a special structure, endowing it with greater power and binding it to the Wizard's core soul.
Moreover, in constructing the Ring of Truth, the Magic Net mentions a trick: if the selected Truth Runes inside the Ring of Truth can form a complete Witchcraft Model, the difficulty of constructing the Ring of Truth can be greatly reduced.
This is because the Witchcraft Model itself is a complete system of concepts, and integrating it into the Ring of Truth makes the structure more stable and harmonious, thereby reducing the risk and difficulty of promotion.
Among the Truth Runes Jeming originally chose, Alchemy and Deciphering Skill from Rune Science have been successfully constructed, but the foundational witchcraft of Magic Potion: Extraction Technique has made no progress.
After all, Jeming spent those years primarily researching Talisman Witchcraft and Magical Treasure, somewhat neglecting the study of Magic Potion.
Taking this opportunity, Jeming decided it was time to expand his learning into the fields of Magic Potion and Alchemy.
Having made up his mind, Jeming wasted no time and immediately took action.
He started by gathering a large amount of knowledge about Magic Potion from the academy's Magic Net.
From the basic identification of materials and categorization of properties to potion proportions and refining techniques.
With the "money" ability in play, Jeming was never stingy about practice during his studies.
Almost every time he learned Magic Potion knowledge, he would conduct trial refinements of some basic potions to deepen his impressions and speed up his learning process.
This approach of learning by doing indeed accelerated his learning efficiency significantly.
Although this resulted in an alarmingly high failure rate in Jeming's potion refining, if an ordinary apprentice dared to do this, they would probably go bankrupt soon.
But with Jeming's current point reserves, such consumption was barely a drop in the ocean, hardly worth mentioning.
While learning Magic Potion, Jeming was also studying Alchemy in the Great Dao Book Pavilion every day.
Unlike Magic Potion, which emphasizes external instruments and precise ratios, the Cultivation System's Alchemy focuses more on the Pill Master's True Fire Manipulation, Spiritual Guidance, and a deep understanding of pharmacology.
This art does not provide fixed formulas and refining methods like Magic Potion does but offers detailed descriptions of the growth environment, energy composition, Yin-Yang and Five Element attributes of various Spirit Grass, Spirit Medicine, and Spiritual Ore, as well as their interaction rules.
It sounds similar to traditional Chinese medicine in his previous life, though it includes many aspects that only cultivators can assess.
Even each Alchemy method would recommend various books on herbal pharmacology and ore properties afterward.
Compared to Magic Potion, Alchemy is more akin to philosophy, an art about life, nature, and rules.
Though this significantly increased the difficulty of practicing Alchemy, for Jeming, this type of Alchemy was a good thing.
His intention was to understand the deeper principles of interaction and energy transformation between materials, and how to harmonize the conflicts of different properties of matter on a microscopic level.
And the current Alchemy perfectly supplemented this part of his knowledge.
If it were Magic Potion, one would need to wait until reaching High Tier Wizard status to qualify for learning such knowledge.
The studies of Magic Potion and Alchemy converged and intertwined like two rivers in Jeming's knowledge system.
Through learning both, he developed new, deeper insights into Elements, Energy, Life Energy, and the essence of materials.
This understanding, in turn, helped Jeming improve his Talisman Witchcraft Artifact.
He found that in refining Talisman Witchcraft Artifacts, if one could more accurately grasp the "pharmacology" of the material itself—the inherent energy flow patterns and activity—it would be possible to better integrate the Rune Array with it, enhancing the stability of the Talisman Witchcraft Artifact, making energy conduction smoother, and even slightly reducing consumption.
The results of these practices further facilitated his understanding of the knowledge, immersing Jeming in a sea of knowledge.
