This wizard only wants to take students

However, this "white forest" was indescribably dead silent. Apart from the endless giant silver mushrooms, there were no other signs of life.

"Among the followers of the Moon Wolf, there seems to be no punishment beasts related to fungi." Because of his previous experience with the giant toad Kux, Lucian did not dare to underestimate the mushroom forest in front of him, fearing that he would accidentally attract some abnormal and terrifying monsters.

While Lucian was observing this "mushroom forest", other wizard apprentices and half-elves also came to this mushroom forest area from the original garden.

"This... these are Kuka! So big!" After a relatively young half-elf came in and saw the mushroom forest in front of him, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Kuka?" Lucian heard this unfamiliar term and guessed that it should be the name of a certain mushroom. It seems that these mushrooms here should also exist in the outside world, but the size may not be as exaggerated as these mushrooms here.

However, to be on the safe side, Lucian still tried to identify these mushrooms.

[Item]: Kuka

[Position]: Fungi·Edible Fungi·Giant Individual

[Description]: Edible mushrooms cultivated by the goblin clan have become gigantic due to the special planting environment. It is said that some powerful goblins often use this fungus to feed some domesticated monsters.

[Details]:

1. Kuka can be eaten directly except for spores. The taste of raw food is somewhat similar to bread, but it is necessary to pay attention to not taking too much at one time, otherwise it will produce an effect similar to drunkenness.

2. Kuka's spores have a certain ability to transform. They can parasitize on nutrients and transform them into their own hotbeds through transformation-like magic. At the same time, Kuka's spores are also a common material for auxiliary casting of transformation-type witchcraft.

3. ...

"We have found traces of buildings, but we need to cross this mushroom forest!" Under the command of Bennett and the goblin leader, three half-goblins or wizard apprentices who are good at long-distance exploration of witchcraft all used their own methods, and soon they shouted one after another, pointing to the south of the mushroom forest together.

Bennett and the goblin leader looked at each other and tacitly chose to maintain the current state of traveling together. After all, both sides are a little short of manpower now. Before entering the real inheritance place, it is beneficial for both sides to join forces.

As a sign of sincerity, the goblin leader also said some basic information about Kuka.

After a short rest, both sides carefully entered the mushroom forest and slowly explored forward. However, in this "forest", it seemed to be calm and monotonous. The team advanced in the forest for nearly a day, and the scenes they saw were all similar. Except for being a little boring, they did not encounter other creatures, let alone danger.

At night, the team dispersed into small circles of twos and threes, keeping a safe distance from each other.

Carly took two pieces of roasted dry food from the campfire, and then handed one of the larger ones to Lucian. "Teacher Lucian, here."

For the sake of caution, even the group of half-goblins who are used to eating Kuka did not collect the giant mushrooms here, but used some of the food they brought with them for emergency.

Lucian waved his hand and took out the Song of the Deep Sea that he had exchanged for the sacrificial badge.

He wanted to take this bottle of natural magic potion directly to improve his mental power. However, when he saw Lilia meditating with her eyes closed not far away to restore her mental power, Lucian was a little apprehensive, and worried that this guy whose mind had been twisted by the rag doll would deliberately cause some damage.

After a little thought, Lucian looked at the giant Kuka mushroom on the side.

Although it might be a bit risky, according to the system's identification results, the risk should be within the controllable range...

Lucian quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, then gritted his teeth, opened his mouth slightly, and quickly talked to Carly through mental power.

"Ah?" Carly, who was still holding the dry food like a little hamster and eating happily, heard Lucian's message. Her eyes widened obviously, and then she looked a little flustered, but later she became a little eager to try.

Lucian's mouth twitched, but he still carefully peeled off some grayish-white immature spores from the mycelium that looked like a thick root system on the ground...

Not long after, the preparation plan was over. Lucian did not hesitate to uncork the Song of the Deep Sea, and then quickly swallowed this precious natural medicine.

Although the Song of the Deep Sea is a natural wine, it feels cold and sweet when it enters the mouth. It does not have the spicy feeling of alcohol, but it feels like drinking a cold natural spring.

However, soon, Lucian felt the "burning feeling" of the Song of the Deep Sea, which belongs to the strong wine. After the wine began to spread throughout his body, he felt that his body became light, and the spiritual sea in his mind began to heat up rapidly. The spiritual vortex in the central area of ​​the spiritual sea began to spew out a large amount of pure spiritual power like an underwater volcano.

"The spirit is burning, but the consciousness is extremely clear, and the thinking is even more active." Lucian's consciousness was immersed in the spiritual sea, feeling light, but he felt that he was full of infinite possibilities at this time. "Rather than calling it the song of the deep sea, it would be more appropriate to call it an underwater volcano."

But at this time, he also seized the time and quickly refined the gushing spiritual power.

However, the changes in Lucian's body also caused some movement. At this time, several apprentices in meditation all felt the abnormal movement of the magic elements around them. A large amount of free magic elements seemed to be attracted by something and began to move in a large scale in one direction.

Lilia was the first to open her eyes, stood up and looked in the direction of Lucian.

She recognized this breath at once, which was the special fluctuations produced when taking the Song of the Deep Sea.

She originally thought that Lucian asked for this unit of magic potion in preparation for the promotion to a formal wizard in the future, and she also thought that she could pay some price to take it back from Lucian later. But she didn't expect that he would use this magic potion so extravagantly!

And "Lucian" glanced at Lilia indifferently, snorted softly, and then closed his eyes again.

Lilia looked at Lucian, her chest rose and fell slightly, and her right hand holding Adeline exerted a little force.

"Teacher, calm down. It's not the right time yet. There are still those fairies..." Gagarin seemed to see Lilia's restlessness. He bravely reminded her and asked Lilia to look at the half-fairies who seemed to have expectations on their faces.

"Humph." Lilia sat down heavily and then looked at the half-fairies coldly.

At this time, "Lucian" nervously grabbed a handful of mycelium under him with his hands.

Carly felt that her heart was about to jump out. After all, this was her first time to challenge a third-level wizard apprentice head-on!

Although Lilia suffered a loss in the last mental collision with Lucian, she did not use her mental power to oppress Carly this time, but the simple confrontation with Lilia made Carly feel a little nervous. If the confrontation continued for a while, Carly might not be able to maintain her expression.

Fortunately, the simple transformation magic arranged by Mentor Lucian was still quite bluffing... Carly secretly rejoiced in her heart, and at the same time looked at "herself" beside her, silently praying that Mentor Lucian's meditation would end soon.

At this time, Lucian's consciousness was fully urging the spiritual vortex in the spiritual sea to refine the spiritual power with all his strength, and only maintained a trace of spiritual power in the outside world to stay alert.

At this time, he could feel that under the blessing of the Song of the Deep Sea, his spiritual power level was growing rapidly at an exaggerated rate.

If [Moonlight Praise] is a relatively mild potion with a slightly slow effect, but without too many side effects, then the Song of the Deep Sea is a more domineering potion.

Under the effect of the Song of the Deep Sea, Lucian only felt that a large amount of spiritual power was suddenly drained from his spiritual sea, and even this spiritual power was so huge that his spiritual vortex did not have time to completely purify them before they were "squeezed" out of the vortex by the subsequent influx of spiritual power.

Even the little moonlight on the spiritual vortex caused by taking Moonlight Praise before, under the simple and rough squeezing of Deep Sea Song, was transformed into not very pure spiritual power and squeezed out of the spiritual vortex.

This kind of spiritual power obviously contains impurities, is relatively superficial, and has a significantly lower purity. If Lucian wants to have a solid foundation, he will have to find a way to refine these spiritual powers later.

Although there are disadvantages, Deep Sea Song has a huge improvement in spiritual power amplification. A large amount of spiritual power condensed into spiritual runes under Lucian's control and was embedded in Lucian's spiritual sea.

Not long after, Lucian's spiritual sea began to vibrate slightly, and the spiritual power vortex began to transform under this vibration, and the spiritual sea began to slowly expand for the second time.

According to the description of Gray Bone Meditation Method·Revised II, Lucian at this time was officially promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice, and his spiritual power also had a more obvious improvement under this expansion.

Rumble——

Lucian's consciousness was rumbling slightly, but compared to the previous transformation, this transformation was much milder. The expansion of the spiritual sea only increased by about one-third, but the membrane walls around it became extremely thick and tough, which increased the endurance of Lucian's spiritual sea by several steps.

"Hmm?" Lucian suddenly felt a kind of "urging" from the body.

This is the body's instinctive desire to be promoted to a higher-level life form, and as Lucian sensed it, he also felt the "perfection" at the level of spiritual power.

As long as he wanted, he could now try to break through the level from the third-level wizard apprentice to the formal wizard level, without the assistance of any potions, nor did he need to arrange any rituals to increase the chance of promotion. He only needed to "lift his legs" slightly, and his spiritual power could easily break through the bottleneck, allowing his spiritual power to transform and sublimate again.
