David is just a Level 1 Gasification Wizard, and such strength is really not enough in the Land of Dawn.

The Fire Salamander Bomb can reach an attack intensity of 23 degrees when triggered, which can greatly enhance David's attack power, providing more means of self-preservation.

Herag consulted with Pries and learned that the Land of Dawn does not actually prohibit trade with the Barren Land.

On the contrary, trade between the two places is actually quite large and frequent.

Usually, it's the various Wizard Organizations in the Land of Dawn that directly trade with some organizations in the Barren Land; those Wizard Families are too small and not qualified to trade with them.

If the Cheqi Family wants to open a trade line between the Land of Dawn and the Barren Land, it's possible, but quite difficult.

David has a long way to go if he wants to accomplish this.

Just after finishing David's matters, Herag's Talisman Stone lit up, and it was a message from Lillian.

Herag added Lillian as a contact on the day he arrived in the Land of Dawn, but only after a few months did the friend request go through; no idea what kept her busy.

"Herag, sorry I just saw your friend request. I just returned from a Small Plane," Lillian sent a message.

"No worries, I figured you had something going on. By the way, what's a Small Plane?" Herag asked.

He knew about many Planes but had never heard of the term Small Plane before.

Lillian explained: "A Small Plane is a tiny Plane formed by using Plane Fragments when Wizards conquer other Planes. It's a small world with everything, just a much smaller space. Almost every Wizard Organization in Land of Dawn has one, and they're usually more suitable for cultivation, with a richer concentration of Energy Particles."

"I was able to stay for a few months after starting at Augustus Academy, thanks to a newcomer benefit. Inside, however, the Magic Net doesn't work, so using Talisman Stones isn't possible."

Herag replied: "I've never heard about it before, seems I'm not qualified yet."

"Yes, Small Planes are typically very important to each Wizard Organization. Since you're new, you'll need to accumulate some achievements before you can enter," Lillian said.

Currently, Herag's Contribution Points are zero, so he can't access any of these.

"Augustus Academy really treats its members well; I didn't get such benefits when I joined," Herag lamented.

Lillian laughed from the other side of the Talisman Stone: "But you're much freer. We have fixed courses and tasks that we need to complete periodically."

Lillian had naturally learned about other such Wizard Organizations, and Serlandir was a very lenient organization.

It imposed almost no strict requirements on its members, relying solely on individual self-discipline.

Augustus Academy still had a cultivation model; although it helped members grow, it wasn't as free.

"I just got out of the Small Plane and now I have to complete a Magic Potion project, my schedule is packed, and the pressure is intense," Lillian complained; these tasks have specific targets and are closely tied to personal performance evaluations.

The better your performance, the higher your rating, and Augustus Academy will value you more, allocating more resources to you.

Since entering Augustus Academy in the Land of Dawn, Lillian was a bit under pressure because there are various assessment indicators.

At Augustus Academy, every member's actions are quantified into data to judge a member's performance and potential.

Even a talented young Wizard like Lillian feels immense pressure.

Because there are many talented individuals in the Land of Dawn, and quite a few, like Lillian, who came from the Barren Land with good talents and great potential.

For the same batch of newcomers, Augustus Academy conducts unified assessments, selecting the exceptional ones for more resource investment.

But if your performance isn't excellent among this group, the subsequent resource allocation for you will be much less.

"Ugh, I have to go to class now," Lillian said after a bit of complaining.

"Yeah, you take care too," Herag could only encourage her, as he couldn't offer any help.

After ending the chat with Lillian, Herag also needed to start preparing for the subsequent matters.

The grade examination from the Witch Array Master Association had already been passed; the next step was to pass the Alchemist's grade examination.

Once he had certification from these two associations, many things would become more convenient in the future.

Very few Wizards could simultaneously hold certifications from both the Witch Array Master Association and the Alchemist Association, unless they were older, highly experienced Wizards.

Only they have enough time and energy to study a lot of things besides cultivation.

It's very rare for someone as young as Herag to plan to get grade certifications from both associations.

Just like before, Herag began searching for information related to the Alchemist Association using the Talisman Stone, to understand the specific situation of the Alchemist examination.

The Alchemist examination is quite different from the Witch Array Master examination; the latter involves presenting specific scenarios and designing arrays according to the given topics, testing the Witch Array Master's mastery and understanding of Witch Arrays.

For Alchemists, three types of Tier One Potions are given, and you need to choose one to complete the concoction.

A so-called Tier One Potion is typically referred to as a High-tier Potion in the Barren Land, with Ancient Magic Potions being a common example of a Tier One Potion.

There are numerous types of Tier One Potions, and no Alchemist dares to claim mastery over the concoction methods of every single Tier One Potion.

Therefore, the Alchemist examination provides three topics. If you fail to complete any of the three, you fail the examination outright.

The Alchemist examination differs from the Witch Array Master examination in another way: the Witch Array Master examination is free, but the Alchemist examination requires a fee.

For your chosen topic, you must first provide the cost of the required materials. If the concoction fails, this fee will not be returned.

Only if you succeed in the concoction will the material cost be refunded to you.

The Alchemist Association's decision to charge fees was made out of necessity.

In the Witch Array Master examination, you must first complete a design diagram, which then has to be reviewed before you can begin setting up a Witch Array.

The vast majority fail at the first stage, without even having the chance to use materials for Witch Array setup.

And those who pass the first stage are likely able to complete the Witch Array setup, with very few cases of material wastage.

But for Alchemists, it's different; almost every Wizard has learned some Magic Potion to varying degrees.

This leads many to participate in the Alchemist Association's grade certification exams with a try-it-and-see attitude.

After all, if you fail, it doesn't matter, but if you succeed, it's a huge win.

Most people come with a lottery-winning mindset when they actually lack the ability to accomplish the potion concoction, leading to a phenomenon of massive material waste.
