Second, Daniel arrived at Wizard Tower again, looking for Maxwell, which caused him great displeasure. He asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Well, mentor, after I returned yesterday, I studied Wizard's Hand, but I felt there were some inappropriate aspects that could be improved. I thought about it all night but couldn't find a clue, so I specifically came to ask you."
Maxwell almost choked on his breath and nearly suffocated. He looked at him deeply and said, "To improve Wizard's Hand, you must have extensive knowledge. Your current accumulation is still insufficient; this matter can wait until later. Moreover, are you sure you really mastered Wizard's Hand?"
Daniel recited the incantation, and in less than a second, he had already released Wizard's Hand.
Maxwell couldn't help but gasp in shock; he was astonished and didn't expect to misjudge him. It was truly incredible. He had thought Daniel was only impressive in meditation, but he didn't realize he was equally remarkable in practicing magic.
This was real sorcery. Others would need at least one or two months to thoroughly understand the Witchcraft Model before practicing repeatedly to gain proficiency and ultimately master it. Finally, they would find ways to compress the casting time to achieve rapid application.
For a complete set of skills, being able to succeed in learning within two or three months was talent. Most people needed four to five months to truly master it.
But what had Daniel done?
He had managed to master it so proficiently after just one night of practice, and this was his first time learning magic—this was too fast. Maxwell really wanted to pry open his brain to see how it worked.
"What about the Fireball Spell and Fire Shield Spell? Have you mastered them?"
"No."
Maxwell breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he was still within the realm of talent and hadn't completely shattered his confidence.
However, Daniel continued, "For these two spells, I only grasped the principles. To cast them requires three to four seconds, making them impractical in actual combat."
Maxwell had nothing more to say; what confidence could he have left? With three types of witchcraft mastered in such a short time, what else could he be dissatisfied with?
When he first mastered the first type of witchcraft, it took him a whole month. Even then, he was regarded by his mentor as the most outstanding talent. But compared to Daniel, what did that amount to?
Daniel's eyes sparkled with brilliance. Seeing Maxwell's dejected demeanor, he decided not to rub salt into his wounds any further. He had originally planned to ask how to improve the two Witchcraft Models. Daniel had already grasped the general direction; by changing the orientation of one rune, he could enhance the power of the Fireball Spell.
However, that was not his own ability. After all, he had already input all the knowledge available in the library of Flame Throne Wizard Academy into his chip. One academic paper pointed out this improvement direction. He just needed to apply it.
As for the underlying principles, he wasn't very clear on them, but that didn't hinder him from using them as his own ideas.
“Daniel, is there something else you came to me for today besides this?”
It was evident that Maxwell's tone had become more amiable. With such an extraordinary apprentice, he felt proud; what else could he be dissatisfied with? If he didn’t find a way to nurture him properly, he would feel guilty.
“Mentor, you know I come from a remote area and don’t have much Magic Stone. I urgently need to master high-income skills so I can acquire Magic Stones to purchase knowledge. Therefore, I want to learn Pharmacology from you.”
“You’ve only just arrived at the academy; focus on mastering the public courses first. Pharmacology is not easy to learn; even if you are talented, you must practice repeatedly to succeed.
Moreover, the materials used in Pharmacology are not cheap. It costs a lot to master the method of concocting a potion.”
“You are right, Mentor. That’s why I want to start learning about the necessary materials now—understanding their properties, principles, and effects—before diving into Pharmacology.”
This time, Maxwell didn’t say much. He took a thick book from the shelf and handed it to him.
“This is the foundational knowledge you need to master in Pharmacology. As long as you can thoroughly understand it and grasp the functions of the materials involved, I will teach you Pharmacology.”
"Remember, this book is not free. To exchange it from my hands, you must pay the price of ten Magic Stones. You can owe me for now, but you must repay it later."
"Thank you, Mentor."
Daniel sincerely expressed his gratitude. According to the academy's rules, to receive support, one must exchange it for Magic Stones. No one cares when you will have Magic Stones; if you want to owe them, that's out of the question. Unlike Maxwell, who allows him to repay later.
It was no different from lending him Magic Stones.
After returning to his dormitory with the book, it didn't take long for Daniel to input "Fundamentals of Pharmacology" into the chip. However, by the time he finished recording, Daniel was surprised to find that "Fundamentals of Pharmacology" seemed incomplete; this book was only a part of it, not even one-tenth of the whole.
What was going on? Was "Fundamentals of Pharmacology" just a title for a complete set of books, and the mentor only gave him a portion?
That couldn't be right; he had already caught the mentor's eye. What did it mean for the mentor to give him such a small amount of content? Searching through the chip quickly led him to an answer as Daniel infused it with magic power.
Accompanied by the sound of flipping pages, "Fundamentals of Pharmacology" began to turn its pages automatically from back to front and then from front to back several times before finally closing with a snap. When Daniel opened it again, the content had changed significantly.
He was astonished by the content at the back of "Fundamentals of Pharmacology." It was truly remarkable technology; by simply inputting magic power, he could alter the contents of the book.
This was no different from USB drives in his previous life; as long as you plugged it into a computer, you could view it directly. It was simple and convenient to carry.
Daniel examined it carefully and then recorded it into the chip.
Pharmacology required countless resources. Although "Fundamentals of Pharmacology" was comprehensive, it could not possibly encompass all knowledge. For instance, many materials only had brief descriptions, and their functions were far from complete.
To truly utilize this knowledge, one would need to consult relevant information in the library for a deeper understanding.
Otherwise, it is very likely that problems will arise during the process of refining potions due to unfamiliarity with the principles involved. The library is vast, and searching for specific content within it can take a considerable amount of time.
Daniel does not have this concern. He has already stored the library's collection in a chip, allowing him to look up anything he doesn't understand at any time.
Searching through several books or even dozens of them for comparison makes it difficult to miss any content. Sometimes he can even find some materials that few people know about, highlighting their shortcomings.
After some time, he has mastered the Fundamentals of Pharmacology. Of course, to avoid bothering Maxwell, Daniel kindly refrained from asking him for help. Instead, he consulted the information on the chip to truly grasp the material and sought to correct any gaps in his knowledge.
During this period, he also frequently went to the Teaching Hall to learn new knowledge and help others who had not yet mastered certain topics. Daniel's understanding of the material is comprehensive enough that he can reference various aspects and explain them, earning unanimous praise from the apprentices.
This is not their first time asking someone for extra lessons, but who else explains things as thoroughly as Daniel does?
People are greatly impressed by Daniel's knowledge and decide to seek him out for tutoring in the future. As a result, the number of Magic Stones in Daniel's possession increased by more than twenty within a month.
While it may not seem like much—one copy of the Pharmacology Compendium costs ten Magic Stones—it depends on whom you compare it with.
Cleaning the library is easy and enjoyable while also providing an opportunity to learn, making it a great source of income. Most people can't even compete for such opportunities; one must have strong connections to get in. However, earning only two Magic Stones a month from cleaning is still considered decent income.
In contrast, Daniel earns twenty Magic Stones each month simply by explaining knowledge, which is more than ten times what others make. If it weren't for his connection to Maxwell as his mentor and being favored by him, someone would have already set their sights on Daniel.
Within two months, when Daniel once again requested an audience with Maxwell.
"Mentor, I have read through the Fundamentals of Pharmacology and have grasped some of its content..."
Daniel said softly.
"Really, then let me test you. What is the use of Lapis Lazuli, and where should it be obtained from?"
"Lapis Lazuli is obtained from coal mining sites..."
Daniel not only recited the information about Lapis Lazuli from Fundamentals of Pharmacology but also shared various details he had gathered from the library regarding Lapis Lazuli.
After a round of questions and answers, Maxwell nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, your knowledge is sufficient. I will now teach you advanced knowledge."
"Thank you!" Daniel bowed deeply. He had also attended paid public courses at school and gained some understanding. Although the professors taught advanced knowledge, it was based on the most primitive data.
The truly top-tier research, along with the private experimental processes and results of various mentors, could only be exchanged with their respective mentors.
The information obtained this way was the best, and it could even be transmitted directly into the apprentice's mind through magic, ensuring they would never forget it.
Of course, the fees were also the highest; any subject required more than ten Magic Stones. Additionally, there were various charges throughout the process.
