The Witcher: Elemental Lords

After glancing at Baal, Dole felt relieved.

The hallucinogenic potion was green, with countless white lights shining inside, as if they were stars within the potion.

Holding the hallucinogenic potion in his hand, he calmed his mind, then raised his hand, placed the potion to his lips, and drank it all in one gulp. He closed his eyes, immersing himself wholeheartedly into his sea of consciousness.

The volatility of the hallucinogenic potion was extremely potent. As soon as he closed his eyes, the dormant sea of consciousness suddenly swayed, and his whole being began to feel drowsy, as if a mysterious force was pulling at his spirit, shaking his sea of consciousness, and a strange power was rocking all the copper coins.

This force was extremely powerful, carrying incomprehensible power, interfering with him mentally in various ways.

Dole thought to himself, 'Here it comes,' and hurriedly guarded his original intention.

He focused all of his mental power on the copper coins, striving to maintain the integrity of each coin, trying to keep them from shaking.

Just at that moment, he heard voices calling out to him. It seemed to be coming from his ears, yet it felt like it was striking his soul directly. The voice was warm and pleasant, like the voice of his mother.

Hearing this voice, Dole was startled.

He did not immerse himself in the voice; he never forgot what he was doing or what was happening. Instead, he felt strange about the source of the voice.

This hallucinogenic potion has some tricks up its sleeve.

The voice grew louder and more intense. He felt as if his entire body was within the range of the voice's embrace. The voice became warmer and warmer, as if enveloping him, reminding him of his mother and father. But he knew clearly that his parents were no longer alive.

Dole struggled to maintain himself. At this moment, he noticed that wisps of mist were forming from some unknown place, entering his sea of consciousness, and slowly seeping into all the copper coins.

His expression remained unchanged, maintaining his ego.

The voice was continuous, incessant, shaking Dole's heart. Soon, seeing that Dole was unaffected, the voice transformed from warm calls into terrifying sounds, booming like thunder splitting the heavens.

Thunder is most likely to make people afraid. This terror was even more frightening than the warmth. Dole immediately felt a tremendous impact on his mind, his entire being blank, his head buzzing. For a moment, he seemed to return to the times when it rained and thundered, that most enormous, most terrifying sound in the world, as if striking the depths of his soul. Dole remained unmoved.

The voice quickly turned into the roars of terrifying monsters, each sound striking the heart directly. Whatever Dole feared in his heart seemed to come to him, each deafening roar crashing heavily into his mind.

Several of the copper coins that had been so painstakingly maintained had their edges instantly permeated by the mist, and then quickly collapsed.

Dole was dazed and frightened by the sounds, but even then, he did not forget what he was doing. He was undergoing a test, he was being affected by the hallucinogenic potion, and he had to constantly guard his original intention and maintain his ego.

The voice grew louder and louder, and Dole struggled painfully to maintain his original intention.

As the copper coins on the periphery crumbled one by one, Dole's remaining rationality dwindled.

However, he still stubbornly persisted, maintaining the last bit of his reason from being extinguished.

He didn't know how long had passed when the terrifying sound suddenly disappeared. As the earth-shaking power slowly subsided, Dole was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. He tried to gather his mental power, gather all his strength, and re-condense his power.

At this time, he discovered that after the sound receded and he had endured it, his mental power had become more active.

Copper coins were quickly condensed, his spirit was restored, and he quickly found that he had gained a full five copper coins, now reaching as many as sixty-seven, and it seemed he could continue to condense more.

Soon, he climbed to seventy copper coins in one breath.

At this moment, he felt a mental clarity he had never experienced before. He tried to spread it outward and could clearly feel his skull and scalp. He was immediately overjoyed and continued downward, along his neck, towards his torso and arms.

Soon, he felt his internal organs, successfully entering the so-called 'introspection' of the wizard realm.

Reaching this step meant entering the realm of an advanced wizard apprentice.

Next, he tried to enter his arm, unimpeded, extending to his fingers, also unimpeded.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his mental power flowing throughout his body, and his heart was filled with incomparable joy.

Advanced wizard apprentice.

Controlling the physical body and flowing mental power throughout the body without entering the sea of consciousness is the symbol of an advanced wizard apprentice.

Dole's face lit up with joy. He had become an advanced wizard apprentice, and finally had the power to protect himself. He could use various materials to cast wizardry.

At this stage, it was no longer suitable to stay in the city, at least not under the nose of the Ability Association. Whether it was potionology, magic inscription, or material science, all would undergo qualitative changes to some extent, becoming more advanced. And more advanced was synonymous with causing changes in the surrounding energy, that is, magical fluctuations, which would be caught by the Ability Association.

Privately studying magic or practicing potionology without official approval would be severely cracked down on, even hunted down. This was certain.

However, this still could not stop Dole's joy. He had not expected that the first time he used the hallucinogenic potion, he would have such gains, entering the realm of an advanced wizard apprentice.

So seventy copper coins were enough.

Just then, he heard a voice in his ear, "That was quick. Only an hour. I thought you'd need a whole night to break free from the harassment of the illusion."

It was Baal's voice.

Latest ⊥ novel ⊥ on ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ book ⊥ bar ⊥ first ⊥ release!

Dole was stunned. He had been so focused on his own changes that he was not very aware of the changes in the outside world. Now he saw that it was still dark.

Only an hour had passed, but it felt like a century. Struggling in the illusion, every second felt like torment.

A trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

This hallucinogenic potion was too powerful. That terrifying sound was simply a direct attack on the soul. He almost couldn't bear it.

But the gains were also great, directly crossing into a small realm.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've reached the advanced stage."

In the darkness, Baal nodded and said, "I saw it. Next, we should leave the city, find a town without wizards to live in, and try to improve ourselves. Let's postpone the revenge for now."

Dole sighed and said, "We have no choice. Being watched by the Ability Association, we can't do anything."

However, he was somewhat unwilling. Diss was not dead yet. How could he leave this place so easily?

In the darkness, he slowly opened his eyes, his mental power flowing through his body, sensing every organ. The feeling was wonderful.

He seemed to be able to control every muscle in his body, every heartbeat. This was the advanced wizard apprentice.

He quickly recovered and did not deliberately control his body, but left it to instinct.

The human spirit was not as weak as it initially seemed. A large part of the spirit needed to control the body's instincts, muscles, internal organs, blood, digestive system, and immune system. If Dole's mental power was only one coin when he first started cultivating, then at least twenty copper coins worth of mental power in his subconscious were controlling his body.

Now, the main consciousness had completely surpassed the subconscious, and only then did it slowly flow to the surface. The main consciousness could sense everything in the subconscious, controlling everything in the body.

However, the subconscious was the subconscious. It controlled every part of the human body and could not be replaced, unless Dole no longer wanted to live.

After understanding this, Dole had an epiphany.
