Wizards: Starting with the Refined Meditation Technique Guide

Chapter 58 Perfect Quality, Mental Radiation Detection

"This instrument can be used to detect whether your own mental radiation levels exceed the standard."

"It's worth 100 magic stones, which I will deduct from your scholarship later."

Upon hearing this, Leo took out a bag of magic stones from his spatial storage pouch and said, "Witch Sally, I'd like to buy directly from you. I happen to have enough magic stones."

Sally said, "That's fine. It seems you earned quite a few magic stones on your sea monster hunt. But please remember, the fastest and safest way to earn magic stones is to learn at the Tower of Dawn."

Sally emphasized the importance of safety when she said this.

"Yes, I will remember that, Sally the Wizard."

Under Sally's satisfied gaze, Leo took the iron box and opened it.

Inside the metal box was a bracelet-shaped ornament.

A voice appeared after Leo put it on.

"Wearing complete, testing to begin."

Sally said, "Once you wear it, it will automatically detect and continuously update your mental radiation data."

The bracelet quickly completed its first test, and a data point appeared on it.

"30 points of mental radiation?"

Sally looked at the data Leo had measured and smiled, saying, "These are very good data, Leo. As long as the mental radiation level measured each month is below 100, it won't have any impact on a third-level wizard apprentice."

"When the level of mental radiation exceeds 100, the probability of distortion will increase significantly."

"A mental radiation level of 30 indicates that you are very self-controlled and haven't used any drugs much," Sally said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Leo asked in confusion, "Witch Sally, but apart from taking the Dawn Magic Potion and the Withered Wood Potion, I haven't taken any other potions."

Two bottles of potion were enough to reach 30 points of mental radiation, so Leo felt that the wizard's ability to withstand mental radiation was not high.

Two bottles are 30 points, and you can only get less than seven bottles of potion a month?

Sally shook her head and said, "It's not just potions; anything related to wizards will increase your mental radiation level to some extent."

"Potions, magical artifacts, enchanted items, and even the use of spells can all cause your mental radiation to increase temporarily."

"That's why I don't recommend you take the risk of fighting. Many combat wizards experience a significant increase in their mental radiation after a single battle."

"Using potions, magical artifacts, and enchanted items in battle all increase mental radiation. This forces them to spend time reducing their own mental radiation."

Upon hearing this, Leo couldn't help but frown.

In the past month, besides the medicine, he had indeed come into contact with magical artifacts and the enchanted item made from the scales of the Stone Sea Dragon on his body.

Leo asked, "Witch Sally, does wearing those enchanted clothes constantly increase your mental radiation?"

"No," Sally shook her head in denial. "Just contact won't have any effect. Only by using its functions will it continuously increase mental radiation."

Sally's gaze then fell on Leo's robe, and she said, "Also, if you're referring to this enchanted item you're wearing, then there's even less to worry about. It's a perfect quality enchanted item with almost zero radiation."

Leo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

It's no wonder he's a certified wizard; even the enchanted items he casually creates are of perfect quality.

Then, Leo asked curiously, "Witch Sally, is the mutation a disease?"

"The aberration phenomenon is indeed a disease. After the aberration occurs, the wizard's physical form will be distorted, and in severe cases, his consciousness may even fall into a state of confusion."

"This is the most dangerous side effect of all wizarding products."

"Therefore, it is essential to control one's mental radiation. Even if the growth of mental energy slows down, one must not allow one's mental radiation to exceed the limit. Many wizards, in order to advance further, desperately take potions and modify their bloodlines to increase their mental energy, which leads to excessive mental radiation and abnormal phenomena."

"On the path of seeking truth, we can slow down so that we can go further."

Upon hearing this, Leo nodded solemnly and said, "I will be careful, Wizard Sally."

Sally sighed inwardly.

Many wizards know that excessive mental radiation is harmful, but even so, many wizards still cannot resist the temptation when their mental energy is slowly increasing. They drink potions or use methods such as modifying their bloodline to increase their mental energy, which eventually leads to excessive mental radiation and abnormal phenomena.

Although Leo said that, Sally only believed him halfway.

Leo, after all, had a history of venturing out to sea.

With his Proso bloodline, who knows when he might go off on another adventure.

Sally thought for a moment and said, "However, there is actually a special case that can minimize this side effect, and that is using a perfect quality potion or item."

"The Dream Potion you showed me before, and the enchanted item you're wearing, are both of perfect quality with negligible effects from mental radiation."

Upon hearing this, Leo raised an eyebrow.

I never expected that something of perfect quality could have such an effect.

Leo thought that if his illustrated manual reached perfect quality, he could refine perfect quality potions, and a thought suddenly struck him.

"Witch Sally, thank you for your guidance," Leo said.

"Your next task is to work in the research lab. I've already submitted your resume to the wizarding research lab at our Esmond Gathering. You should hear back in a few days after you finish this job Tesla assigned you."

"As for these next few days..." Sally hesitated for a moment before saying, "If you have nothing to do, I can help you find a simple job. It's not a research lab job, but you can earn 10 magic stones every day."

"This job requires knowledge of melee wizard spells, specifically offline melee wizard combat. Because there are rules, there are no safety issues... You can earn 1 magic stone for each match you play, 10 magic stones for a win, and even more magic stones for better performance."

This job was specially arranged for Leo by Sally. It was a safe way to earn money and also allowed Leo to release his boundless energy through combat, so that he wouldn't always be thinking about running away from the Tower of Dawn to go on adventures.

Leo said, "This sounds like a very simple job. I'd be happy to take it."

A smile appeared on Sally's face:

"This is their business card; it has their address on it."

"She was my classmate and also the wizard of our Esmond Gathering."

Leo took the business card, which read Lina.

Leo asked, "Witch Sally, I have a few more questions. Do you have a moment now?"

Sally said, "You go ahead."

Leo asked, "It's about potion-making. Sally, I inquired with Woodpecker Cottage about their potion-buying prices and the time it takes me to concoct potions. It seems like potion-making isn't an easy profession to make money in?"

"It's difficult to make money by refining other people's potion recipes," Sally said. "The main source of income for potion wizards is the creation and improvement of their own new potion recipes. These are all patented, so when other wizards want to sell them, they not only need to buy them from a potion shop they have a partnership with, but they also need to pay an additional patent fee."

Upon hearing this, Leo asked in confusion, "But I wasn't charged any patent fees when I made the withered wood potion."

"The basic things you learn don't really require patents."

Leo said, "Witch Sally, if I have fully mastered the basics of potions, where can I buy books to learn more advanced potions?"
