Unfortunately, Daniel looked at the runes that had been deciphered and sighed.
The items were good, but unfortunately, they couldn't be used.
His Mental Power was increasing too rapidly, overflowing and beginning to press against his Sea of Consciousness, putting pressure on his body.
He had to wait for a while until his Sea of Consciousness adapted to the Mental Power before he dared to meditate.
Before that, he could only temporarily stop meditating.
Daniel checked the time; it was getting late, so he lay down to rest. The next morning, just as dawn broke, he got up and headed to the academy's warehouse to prepare to buy some items.
Bishop had just finished washing up in the morning and sighed comfortably. Although he was a Third-Level Wizard Apprentice, he was not an apprentice of the academy.
In fact, he had graduated from the academy over twenty years ago. The reason he hadn't left was that after graduating, he applied to stay and work at the academy. After some effort, he became the Warehouse Manager of the academy.
This was quite a leisurely job; there was hardly anything to do most of the time. Whenever he felt bored and wanted something to do, he would just check the items in the warehouse.
As for other tasks, there was hardly any—at most, he would oversee the materials coming in and out while counting quantities.
With a Magic Array guarding it and over twenty Formal Wizards and tens of thousands of Wizard Apprentices in the academy, it was as solid as a fortress; there was no need to worry about being attacked.
If it weren't for having a Formal Wizard as a backing, he would never have been able to secure such a leisurely job. Since he had nothing else to do anyway, he found a lounge chair at the entrance and sat down in the sun.
Bishop was nearing fifty years old; even for a Wizard Apprentice with a long lifespan, he was gradually entering his twilight years. He had long lost his ambition and only wanted to enjoy life and appreciate its wonders.
Suddenly, Bishop saw Daniel walking slowly toward him, and cold sweat instantly broke out all over him. Among everyone in the academy, if there was anyone he feared seeing the most, it wasn't a Formal Wizard or even the head of the academy; it was a Wizard Seed.
There is nothing else; the Wizard Seed has the authority to purchase items at a 70% discount, which is enough to make anyone's head ache.
A 70% discount! Even for items produced by the academy itself, selling them at that price would result in a loss. As for those items acquired from elsewhere, the losses would be even more devastating.
Moreover, when Wizard Apprentice buys things, it is never just a little bit; purchases are made by the bundle, by the crate, or even by the cart. They buy several bundles or carts at once, not stopping until all their Magic Stone is spent.
These are materials for magic; each one is expensive, and many people have fought tooth and nail for just a small amount. The extravagant behavior of Wizard Seed, buying by the cart, is something no miser would want to see and would want to avoid.
Yet, as the Warehouse Manager, he cannot refuse any request from Wizard Seed.
No matter what, Wizard Seed is a talent that the academy is nurturing with full effort. If something goes wrong here and he creates difficulties or refuses to sell materials, it would definitely lead to trouble.
He can only force a smile and say, “Daniel, what brings you here?”
“Hello, I’m missing a few materials for potion-making, so I came to take a look.”
Upon hearing this, Bishop let out a sigh of relief. It was just about potion-making; that’s not too bad. After all, potion-making doesn’t require much material, so even if he incurs a loss, it won’t be significant and is still within acceptable limits.
So he generously patted his chest and said, “Alright, alright! What kind of materials do you need? I’ll help you find them right away.”
“Well, my Mental Power has been increasing too quickly, so I’m planning to make a few potions that can stabilize my Sea of Consciousness. You should have those materials here, right?”
“...Yes.”
Bishop felt a pang in his heart and hesitantly nodded.
The Sea of Consciousness is where Mental Power resides; any potion that can affect it is valuable. Even just the materials are rare treasures with very high prices.
Now Daniel wants this kind of material. He can already imagine the heavy losses he will incur, yet he has no choice but to help find it. The pain in his heart is unbearable.
He hesitates for a moment before finding the items on the list.
"This one, this one, and this one are all materials that can strengthen the Sea of Consciousness. What do you need?"
Daniel takes a look and sees quite a few items. He immediately points to them and says, "I want this one, this one, and this one... It's hard to refine these, so I want to make several bottles."
"Okay, I'll get them for you right away."
He sees that Daniel has almost swept away all the materials and realizes that Daniel is just like other Wizard Seeds—wealthy and extravagant.
Buying things recklessly with a three-fold discount, he thinks that no matter how much he buys, he won't lose money. Even if he doesn't use them, he can sell them for a profit.
Little does he know that when Daniel saw the materials, he had already calculated through his chip how many types of potions he could concoct to strengthen the Sea of Consciousness and exactly how many potions he could produce based on the materials purchased, without buying any excess.
"Daniel, take care."
Bishop sends him off with an attitude as if delivering a plague. There's no way around it; every time Daniel comes in, he incurs losses, unable to even recover his costs. Who would like someone like that?
Daniel chooses to ignore his attitude.
In the blink of an eye, all the materials he purchased have turned into potions. Although refining potions to strengthen the Sea of Consciousness is very difficult, it depends on who is doing it; for Daniel, it's not very challenging.
Looking at the potion in his hand that emits a silver glow, Daniel thinks for a moment before tilting his head back and pouring it into his mouth. Instantly, he feels a warm current surge from his stomach straight into his mind.
The entire body felt warm and comfortable, never having experienced such comfort before, and before he knew it, he had fallen asleep in the chair.
When he woke up, he felt better than ever, refreshed, as if even the sky had turned blue. The sense of pressure brought on by the rapid increase in Mental Power had vanished.
Daniel entered the Sea of Consciousness, ready to see what it was really like.
He saw that the Sea of Consciousness, which had been filled to the brim with Mental Power due to its rapid growth, had changed its appearance.
Previously, the Sea of Consciousness had been filled with Mental Power, and because of the rapid increase, it had not been able to adapt in time. The entire Sea of Consciousness was stretched like a balloon, with Mental Power packed inside, almost overflowing. The pressure was so intense that the barrier of the Sea of Consciousness was on the verge of shattering.
Now, however, the Sea of Consciousness had expanded by a full circle, and Mental Power only filled two-thirds of it, giving Daniel room for progress.
Previously, he had been too afraid to meditate due to the overwhelming amount of Mental Power, fearing that the pressure would cause the Sea of Consciousness to shatter. If that happened, it would not just be a serious injury; he could even die.
The sudden surge of Mental Power could explode like a bursting watermelon, splattering red and white everywhere—dead beyond recovery.
Now that there was space in the Sea of Consciousness, it allowed him to increase his Mental Power further.
