The breakthrough in the meditation skill was something Bai Ze did not expect. He did not expect that imparting knowledge to others could also advance his own progress. He immediately pulled Jiang Qingyue along and prepared to go to a special meditation room to teach her more knowledge.
He had only explained some general directions just now, but many things still needed to be taught in practice.
Jiang Qingyue was a little surprised, but the breakthrough just now gave her a lot of confidence, so she didn’t refuse and followed him readily.
The students nearby who had not gone far saw the two of them leave side by side, and their hearts were filled with envy.
They didn’t know if they should be envious of Bai Ze for being favored by the school belle or envious of Jiang Qingyue for being able to receive Bai Ze’s guidance.
At noon, Bai Ze and Jiang Qingyue parted ways in the school cafeteria.
As there were still two hours before the afternoon class, Bai Ze planned to go out.
An hour ago, the system had given him a notification that the deduction of the icicle had been successful.
Although Bai Ze had learned the Icicle Technique, he had been unable to successfully cast it due to the lack of accumulated magic power, let alone proficiency levels.
Due to this, Bai Ze planned to go to the magic potion shop, the orthodox kind.
After leaving Maplewood City’s Numero Uno High School, Bai Ze strolled around the commercial streets for a while and quickly found a store that sold magic potions.
These shops were different from the black market shops. They were hundreds of square meters in floor area and the decorations inside were also extremely luxurious.
Two tall security guards were standing at the door, looking around vigilantly.
Bai Ze pushed open the heavy glass door and entered the shop.
The lights here were dazzling, and the ground was covered with soft carpets. There were glass cabinets on both sides of the shop resembling jewelry displays, and potions of different colors were displayed inside.
A line of explanatory text was at the bottom of each transparent or colored glass bottle. Some potions could grant a temporary ability, while others could expand one’s magic power and even gain affinity with certain elements.
However, the price was equally shocking. A small bottle of potion that increased spiritual power cost more than 10,000.
In addition to potions, there were also crystals that contained magic power. These magic crystals were formed by the precipitation of magic power in the natural environment, most of which were from mineral veins. There wasn’t much magic power inside, but they were pure enough that they could be used without the need to absorb it.
Even the most basic low-grade magic crystals cost more than 3,000.
This store was equivalent to a luxury store, and only middle-class or aristocratic families could afford to come here. Even in Bai Ze’s class, the families who could afford this kind of thing were few and far between.
In this world, money was the only almighty pass that could do anything. High-level mages all relied on money to become powerful.
Even ordinary potions were extremely expensive.
Bai Ze strolled around for a long time and finally chose a bottle of potion that increased affinity with ice.
As the increase in effect was not permanent, the price of the potion was not too high, and it was within the range that Bai Ze could afford.
However, there was no room for bargaining. In the end, Bai Ze spent 2,100 bucks for this bottle of potion!
After putting away the potion and making payment, Bai Ze left the place.
Bai Ze returned to the apartment building at seven o’clock in the evening.
He hurriedly ate something for dinner, then returned to his bedroom and took out the potion he had bought during the day.
As it would only take effect for a short time, Bai Ze had to grab hold of the chance to quickly level up the Icicle Technique to the highest level possible within two hours after consuming it.
Twisting the bottle cap open, Bai Ze took a deep breath and poured it down his throat.
He only felt an icy sensation spreading to his limbs and bones, and in the next moment, a layer of frost formed on his skin!
[System message: D-class Icicle Technique has been nourished by energy. Its automatic cultivation speed has increased by 30%.]
When he heard the ethereal voice in his mind, Bai Ze’s heart trembled. He immediately stretched out his right hand and tried to form an icicle.
He did this to increase his proficiency level and related knowledge.
Bai Ze had already memorized the critical points of the freezing process of the Icicle Technique a year ago. Although it was his first time using it, he was not unfamiliar with it.
Not long after, an icicle about ten centimeters long appeared in Bai Ze’s palm. However, the size and sharpness of the icicle were far inferior to the one Teacher Fang Yu had conjured during the day.
Seeing that he managed to form real icicles, Bai Ze immediately felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. He took advantage of the fact that the potion’s effect had not yet disappeared and unleashed it again.
After two hours of uninterrupted practice, the icicles that Bai Ze had conjured became larger and larger. They were as sharp as knives and could easily cut paper.
[System message: D-class Icicle Technique has achieved enlightenment. It has broken through the Beginner’s level and advanced to the Fluent level!]
After hearing the system announcement, Bai Ze felt the cold sensation in his body dissipate. He felt a little tired, but the excitement in his eyes was still strong.
At this rate, the Icicle Technique would definitely reach a new level tomorrow, and he would be qualified to enter the Manuscript Library.
Touching the piece of jade token that he had gotten from Zhang Xian and feeling the smooth pleasing texture on it, Bai Ze laid down on the bed in satisfaction.
Perhaps because he was too tired, he fell asleep before taking off his coat.
The moon was shining brightly outside, but Maplewood City was still brightly lit.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
As soon as Bai Ze opened his eyes, he heard the system’s voice.
[System message: After a night of cultivation, your D-class Icicle Technique has broken through its constraints and has been upgraded to the Familiar level.]
[Due to the lack of guidance, the cultivation of D-class Icicle Technique has been suspended.]
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze’s sleepy eyes immediately widened, and he sprang out of bed eagerly.
He immediately mobilized the energy from the sea of magic power. The next moment, an icicle about a meter long materialized behind him, emitting a constant stream of cold air!
This icicle was extremely sharp and shone so brightly that it made people shiver and lit up the whole room.
Hiss!
This was not surprising for a Familiar level. Even Teacher Fang Yu would find it difficult to achieve such power.
Bai Ze muttered to himself, then casually waved his hand. The icicle floating in the air vanished immediately as if it had never appeared.
At 10:30 in the morning, the second lesson in Numero Uno High School ended. Bai Ze immediately left the classroom and went to the office where Teacher Fang Yu was.
After a while, he found Teacher Fang Yu.
She was in the office at the end of the second floor.
Teacher Fang Yu looked at Bai Ze in surprise.
“Bai Ze, I told you to wait until your magic skills reached the Beginner’s level before coming again… Have you reached the Beginner’s level so quickly?”
Bai Ze shook his head and said, “No.”
Seeing that Bai Ze did not lie to her, Fang Yu’s expression softened.
She patiently advised him, “It’s normal not to reach the Beginner’s level. Rules need to be inherited. It’s possible to take half a month or even a few months to reach the Beginner’s level.”
“How about this? What rules have you been practicing recently? I can give you some guidance.”
