The winter morning light shone softly and warmly through the thick snow curtains, shining on Gerlin's desk. The pale sunlight made the tiny dust in the study look like a dream. Gerlin sat quietly in front of the desk, holding a cup of warm fragrant tea in his hand, staring at the pile of medicinal materials that had not yet been sorted. His mind echoed the events of the past few days. The shortage of Hof purple leaves made him worried, but the subsequent calm thinking allowed him to find a way to deal with it.

"I will buy the new Hof Purple Leaf when it comes on the market next year." Gerlin muttered to himself, his eyes determined. Although the materials in front of him were sufficient to support his promotion to a third-class apprentice, he knew the importance of Hof Purple Leaf. On the road of cultivation, the quality and scarcity of materials are often directly related to a person's growth speed and depth.

Gerling stood up, walked to the window, opened it, and the fresh air blew in, bringing a bit of chill. He looked out the window at the snow-covered world, which was like a quiet painting. The trees, houses, and mountains in the distance all seemed particularly peaceful in the cold winter. At this moment, thinking of the coming spring, he couldn't help but feel a warm expectation in his heart.

"Hof purple leaves, waiting for the day when spring wind melts the snow." He muttered to himself, and the vibrant latitude appeared in his mind. Spring is the season when all things come back to life, and it is the best time for Hof purple leaves to bloom again. Those purple leaves will be tender and tender under the sunshine, exuding an attractive fragrance, attracting the attention of countless alchemists. As an apprentice who pursues excellence, Gerlin understands that excellent materials can not only improve the effect of the potion, but also push his practice to a new height.

At this time, Sina knocked on the door and walked in. Her long black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her face was flushed, as if she had just come back from outside. When she saw Gerlin, she said happily: "Good morning, Lord Gerlin! It's so cold outside, I just played in the snow for a while."

"Good morning, Sina." Gerlin smiled slightly, his eyes gentle. "Although the weather is cold, this is a good time to meditate and practice."

Sina nodded, walked to the window, looked at the snow outside, and sighed in her heart: "This silver world is so beautiful, as if it is a road specially paved for us to practice."

"Yes, just like the coming spring, full of hope and vitality." Gerling's voice was filled with a hint of thought. "I decided to wait until next year when Hof Purple Leaf is on the market before purchasing it."

Sina turned around, looking a little surprised: "But, Lord Gerlin, shouldn't we stockpile some materials now? Although the materials are sufficient in quantity, the quality may not be guaranteed..."

Gerlin smiled and interrupted her: "I understand your concerns, but we must learn to wait. Hof Purple Leaf will only show its best quality in spring. Now is the time for us to calm down and practice. Waiting until spring to purchase can ensure that we get high-quality materials, and in the process of practice, we can gradually improve our strength."

Sina pondered for a moment and nodded: "You are right, waiting is also a kind of wisdom. We can improve our medicine refining skills and enhance our sensitivity to medicinal materials during this period of time."

"That's right." Gellin said firmly, and he began to plan the next training. He wrote down the new training plan on paper, intending to improve his skills through continuous practice. He realized that although the materials were in short supply, if he could improve his own abilities, he would be able to deal with the material problems better in the future.

"Then let's get started." Gerlin stood up, walked to the bookshelf, took out a few books on alchemy, and flipped through the pages. He said to Sina, "Today we will focus on studying the formula and characteristics of potions, and understand which medicinal materials can complement each other and improve the efficiency of alchemy."

Sina followed him excitedly, her eyes showing a desire for knowledge. She was inspired by Gerling's concentration, and he found motivation in her enthusiasm. Under the guidance of the book, they explored those complex formulas together, and every word was like opening a door to the unknown.

As the sun and moon alternated, time flew by, and the winter chill gradually grew stronger, but in the study, it was the passionate discussion of Gerlin and Sina. They absorbed knowledge from volume after volume of books and comprehended the mysteries of alchemy. Gerlin realized more and more that waiting was not only to collect high-quality Hof purple leaves, but also to lay a solid foundation for himself.

Late one night, Gerling was concentrating on recording his research results in his study. The flickering candlelight reflected his calm and focused expression. The wind whistled past the window, bringing a sharp chill, but his heart was warm.

"Next year I will definitely be able to obtain more Hof Purple Leaves and become a more powerful alchemist." Gerlin said confidently, as if he was communicating with his future self. He clearly knew that steady and solid practice was the only way to success.

As spring approaches, the snow gradually melts and everything comes back to life. Gerling is filled with anticipation. Whenever he sees new buds sprouting out of the soil outside the window, he feels joyful. The purple leaves of the Hof are growing, as if they are also looking forward to the moment they meet him.

"This is a precious period of waiting." He said to Sina seriously, "During this period, we must not only improve our own abilities, but also accumulate our understanding of medicinal materials. By spring, we will surely usher in a new situation."

Sina nodded, with a determined light in her eyes: "I will work hard, Lord Gerlin. We will definitely have a better future!"

At this moment, his heart was full of doubts and expectations: "After becoming a third-class apprentice, how can I be promoted to a formal wizard?" This question rolled in his mind like a complex and vague fog.

Although he had completed the third-class apprenticeship, he had no clear direction for the next step. The growth of a wizard is not a straight road, but a long and winding journey. The growth of every wizard is accompanied by countless challenges and choices. However, Garlin's information in this regard is frustratingly scarce. The few thin books on the bookshelf, although they broadened his horizons, could not give him the answers he needed.

"Perhaps, I can focus on improving my mental power first." He thought for a long time and decided to turn his focus to his own practice. Mental power is the basis for wizards to cast spells. Higher mental power means stronger spellcasting ability and more extensive magical knowledge. His goal is to increase his mental power to 7.5, reaching a whole new level.

Gerling felt that this process should not be rushed, but rather a long-term process. He wrote down his training plan and gradually subdivided his goals. First, he set a daily training time, at least three hours a day, regardless of the weather.

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked out through the cold glass. The snow in the yard had gradually melted, and the grass began to show its pointed head, as if announcing the arrival of hope for spring. This scene encouraged him, as if telling him that all his efforts would eventually pay off.

"It takes time and patience to improve your mental strength," Gerling whispered to himself, making up his mind. He decided to use a combination of meditation and concentration training to improve his inner sensitivity and mastery.

In the evening, the candlelight in the study flickered. Gellin sat on the floor, legs crossed, eyes closed. He took a deep breath, felt the air flowing around him, and slowly focused his consciousness deep in his heart. He imagined that his spiritual power was like a trickle, constantly gathering and growing, nourishing every corner of his heart.

"Empty your mind, get rid of distracting thoughts." He said to himself, trying to immerse himself in this peaceful state. As time passed in meditation, Gerling's heart gradually calmed down, and the boundaries of his consciousness began to blur, as if he had entered a brand new world.

In this invisible space, he felt his spiritual power become more agile, and that power was like spring water, gentle and firm, spreading outward. Every time he meditated deeply, his spiritual power would rise slightly, and he could feel clearer wisdom and perception intertwined.

As time went by, day after day, Gerling's mental strength gradually approached the goal of 7.5. Although the road was bumpy, he always maintained a firm belief. He understood that the more difficult the journey, the more it could forge a truly strong person.

One morning, Gerling was meditating again in his study. He felt an unprecedented strong fluctuation, a long-lost familiar feeling, as if a force was calling him. He opened his eyes instantly, his eyes flashed, and an excited impulse surged in his heart. "Now, maybe I can try a deeper perception."

He found a piece of jade, chanted a spell in his mind, and prepared to conduct a simple test of his mental strength. He placed his palm on the jade, closed his eyes, and tried to inject his mental strength into it to feel its reaction.

As the spiritual power was injected, the jade gradually emitted a faint light, warm and soft, as if responding to him. Gerlin felt a burst of joy, and his expectations became stronger. Through this experiment, he clearly realized that his spiritual power was close to 7.5. If he worked harder, he might be able to break free from the constraints of the third level.

"In the days ahead, I must be more focused." He vowed to himself, and a stronger fighting spirit ignited in his heart. So, he began to increase the time for practice, doing a deep meditation every morning, and spending more time studying magic theory at night. He knew that only with a solid foundation could he truly realize his dream of becoming a wizard.

As night fell, the starry sky was bright. Through the study window, the starlight sprinkled on his desk, forming a blurred light spot. In the candlelight, Gerling was reading an ancient book about wizard promotion. Although the content was vague, he still carefully pondered every word.

"Perhaps, promotion is not just about the accumulation of power, but more about the thirst for knowledge and its application." He muttered to himself, trying to capture more inspiration from books. Ancient books mentioned that a true wizard is not only a spellcaster, but also an explorer of knowledge, who can combine magic theory with practice to create his own magic.

"I need more knowledge." Gerlin realized that cultivation and learning are equally important. He suddenly had an idea and decided to spend some time looking up more detailed information and consulting some experienced wizards. A bold idea emerged in his mind. He wanted to combine the improvement of spiritual power with the accumulation of knowledge to form a more complete cultivation system.

A few days later, Gerlin went to the ancient library outside the city, where many precious magic books were collected. He shuttled between the bookshelves, flipping through one book after another, his heart full of excitement and anticipation. Every time he found a piece of valuable information, he felt a surge of joy in his heart.

“Not only do you need to improve your mental strength, but you also need to understand how to survive in the magical world.” He couldn’t help but think that the meaning of being a wizard is not only to pursue the ultimate power, but also to find your true self in the magical world.

In the ancient books, Gerling found clues for promotion. He understood that the transformation from a third-class apprentice to a formal wizard required not only the improvement of mental strength, but also a deep understanding of one's own abilities and a comprehensive understanding of the magical world. "Knowledge can guide me, just like the stars guide a sailing ship."

More plans gradually emerged in his mind, and he decided to combine mental training with knowledge learning in the coming days to create his own wizard path. Gerlin believed that only in this way could he truly grasp every opportunity in the future.

A month later, as a meteor streaked across the night sky, Gerling completed a successful meditation in his study, and his mental strength reached a peak of 7.5. His face was filled with joy, and he opened his eyes, with endless confidence surging in his heart. "The first step to success has been completed!" he said to himself proudly.

Now, he is fully prepared for the next step of advancement. Sufficient mental strength and rich knowledge are the cornerstones of his journey to becoming a wizard. "Soon, I will have even greater power, and my dreams will guide me on a new journey."
