Chapter 547 ·Magic Potion

“【Land of Desire】, as an 【Awareness World】 filled with chaotic energy, can generally only be withstood by the souls of official wizards. Once an ordinary person enters that place, their soul will be polluted by endless desire and obsession, becoming nourishment for the 【Land of Desire】—devoured until nothing remains——”

Hearing this, Janna pursed her lips slightly.

After all, up to this point, Janna was merely a Third-Tier Wizard Apprentice who had yet to advance. No matter how exceptional her talent was, she might not be able to withstand the invasive energies within the 【Land of Desire】—

“Of course, that only applies to ordinary people. You, however, are different.”

Different—how?

Although Janna had some guesses in mind, she didn’t believe that the 【Authority of Emotion】 she had just comprehended could truly control the immense emotional energy within the 【Land of Desire】. At best, she might be able to barely resist it.

Even so, despite her doubts, Janna didn’t dare voice them directly before a Third-Tier Witch whose strength stood among the pinnacles of the Continent of Wizards.

“I told you, the moment you joined the 【Witch Sect】, we became comrades who fight side by side. Whatever decision you make, I will respect it.”

Perhaps sensing Janna’s unease, Yoya–Bauhinia didn’t try to persuade her forcefully. Instead, she spoke softly.

“Thank you, Madam President. Before I make a final decision, I’d like to know why you said I’m ‘the best candidate.’ Is it because I once comprehended the 【Authority of Emotion】?”

Feeling the sincerity in Yoya–Bauhinia’s emotions, Janna hesitated briefly before voicing her question.

After all, during the recent 【Dream Conference】, she could sense from the other witches’ attitudes that entering the 【Land of Desire】—though risky—also promised great benefits.

Otherwise, Lori–Spark wouldn’t have shown that flicker of “envy.”

“The 【Authority of Emotion】 can ensure that you won’t be easily corrupted by the emotional energies within the 【Land of Desire】. However, that isn’t the primary reason——”

At this point, Yoya–Bauhinia paused slightly before continuing:

“The reason I said you are the best candidate is that, apart from meeting the basic conditions required to enter the 【Land of Desire】, it’s also because of your 【Wizard Talent】.”

Wizard Talent?

At those words, Janna faintly began to understand.

“Your 【Spirit Traverse】 allows you not only to reach the 【Material Plane】, but also to freely travel to and from the 【Immaterial Plane】.”

Indeed—as soon as Yoya–Bauhinia mentioned soul strength, Janna had already guessed. With the 【Spirit Traverse】 talent, her soul’s strength far exceeded that of ordinary apprentices.

However, compared to official wizards, her soul strength was still lacking—which was precisely why she hesitated.

“I said before that ordinary people who enter the 【Land of Desire】 will have their souls corrupted by its emotional energies. The reason for this corruption lies in the fact that they can only enter in the form of mental projection—not true spiritual form—

“But you are different. The talent 【Spirit Traverse】 completely allows you to break this limitation, enabling you to descend into the 【Land of Desire】 in spiritual form———””

So that’s how it was!

After hearing Yoya–Bauhinia’s explanation, Janna finally understood the crux of what she had been missing.

A so-called “mental projection” referred to the instant when a wizard established a brief connection between their soul’s sensory threads and a plane, using the spiritual power within their Sea of Souls to perceive that plane.

This method allowed the wizard’s soul to avoid direct external damage. Even if the mental projection was discovered, at worst, they would lose part of their spiritual power—without endangering their soul.

However, this advantage only applied when exploring the 【Material Plane】. Once the target changed to an 【Immaterial Plane】, that advantage disappeared—and even became a weakness.

Take the 【Land of Desire】 for example: if a wizard failed to resist its emotional corruption, that taint would swiftly spread through their mental projection into the soul’s essence—resulting in complete contamination.

Therefore, without sufficient mental safeguards, no sane wizard would easily meddle with an 【Immaterial Plane】 like the 【Land of Desire】.

Yet, for someone like Janna who possessed the 【Spirit Traverse】 talent, these concerns were different altogether.

According to Yoya–Bauhinia, Janna’s 【Spirit Traverse】 allowed her to enter the 【Land of Desire】 in her spiritual form.

This meant she could bring with her witch tools designed to defend against mental corruption—achieving something even official wizards had never done before.

“So the 【Spirit Traverse】 talent had such a function after all. Looks like I haven’t even begun to unlock half of its potential.”

Compared to the 【Natural Affinity】 talent taught by Eunice–Gale, Janna had always been fumbling in her understanding of this mysterious-side talent, 【Spirit Traverse】.

It wasn’t that she had never thought of seeking help from other wizards, but 【Spirit Traverse】 was simply too rare of an A-level talent. Even in the White Tower, she hadn’t found a proper method for developing it.

“You should already know, before joining the 【Witch Sect】, that our organization operates with two main focuses. The first deals with information gathering and intelligence, while the second involves crafting and selling various magic potions.”

Having already read about this in books, Janna nodded slightly.

“Then do you know why the 【Witch Sect】 can produce so many top-tier magic potions?”

At Yoya–Bauhinia’s words, Janna thought briefly before answering with some uncertainty:

“Is it because of the ‘materials’ from the 【Land of Desire】?”

“Exactly. The 【Witch Sect】 possesses an ancient formula that can greatly enhance the success rate of potion brewing. This formula draws spiritual energy from the desires of intelligent beings, using it to fill the flaws in potion ingredients—thereby improving their quality.”

An ancient formula that could increase potion success rates?

Once again hearing secret knowledge from Yoya–Bauhinia’s lips, Janna couldn’t help but grow curious about this so-called ancient formula...
