The most powerful wizard in the magic world

In the early morning, the sun penetrated the mist and sprinkled on every corner of the manor. The golden light reflected the exquisite stone bricks and lush flowers and plants. Gerlin sat on an ancient wooden chair in the courtyard, holding a heavy magic book in his hand, concentrating on studying the exquisite runes on the pages. The breeze blew gently, bringing the fragrance of flowers, making him feel a little peaceful. However, this peaceful atmosphere did not last long. At this moment, the sound of brisk footsteps broke the silence.

"Lord Gerlin!" Sina came running over excitedly, her cheeks slightly flushed due to her rapid breathing, like crystal dewdrops on flower petals, revealing a bit of agility.

Gerlin looked up, his eyes showing some concern, "Sina, what happened? You are in such a hurry."

Sina stopped in front of him, smoothed her hair, and said with joy in her voice: "Freiza is back! She brought back twenty pounds of Hof purple leaves!" These words instantly ignited the fire in Gerlin's heart.

The purple leaf of Hof is an extremely precious herb, often used to refine various powerful magic potions, especially potions that enhance mental strength and restore spiritual power. Gerlin knew that this would be of great benefit to his practice and was a rare resource. Since Fresa left, he had been looking forward to her return. When he heard the news, he could not hide his joy.

"Where is she now?" Gerling sat up straight and asked seriously.

"She is processing purple leaves in the kitchen, preparing to make tea for you," Sina smiled slightly, looking particularly excited, "She also said that this harvest is exceptionally rich and worth celebrating!"

"Great, take me to see her." Gerlin stood up and followed Sina to the kitchen.

Walking along the bluestone path, the flowers and plants on both sides looked even more colorful under the morning light. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and fell on them, as if cheering for the upcoming celebration. Sina walked briskly, looking back from time to time to meet Gerlin's gaze, with an expectant look on her face.

In the kitchen, the warm flames danced on the stove, emitting an alluring aroma. Fresa was concentrating on processing the freshly picked Hof purple leaves. On the chopping board beside her, the purple leaves looked fresh under the sunlight, revealing a pure green.

When Gerlin walked into the kitchen, Freiza turned around and saw him with a bright smile on his face: "Lord Gerlin, I'm back! You must want to know what I got this time."

"Yes, I heard from Sina that you brought back twenty pounds of Hof purple leaves. That's great!" Gerlin walked up to her and shook hands with her, revealing his heartfelt joy and gratitude.

"Yes, the purple leaves this time are of excellent quality." Fresa answered excitedly, his tone full of pride, "I found a place deep in the forest where Hof purple leaves grow. The climate here is suitable and there is plenty of sunshine, so the purple leaves grow particularly luxuriantly. We can use these materials to make potions to improve our training efficiency."

"You are amazing, Fresa!" Gerlin praised sincerely, "Being able to find such resources is not only your luck, but also your wisdom and persistence."

Freiza smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with confidence. "This is my duty. I am willing to do whatever it takes to help you and the team."

Under her guidance, Gerling approached the chopping board and gently stroked the fresh purple leaves with his fingers. Each purple leaf exuded a faint fragrance, as if it contained endless energy and vitality. "We need to transform these purple leaves into medicine as soon as possible so that they can be fully utilized."

"I will start preparing as soon as possible," Freisa replied decisively, "but we must be cautious and ensure the accuracy of each step in order to maximize the effectiveness of the Hof Purple Leaf."

"I will fully cooperate with you." Gerling said firmly, and secretly vowed to make the most of this opportunity. He believed that this would not only improve his own strength, but also enhance the combat effectiveness of the entire team.

In the next few hours, the kitchen was filled with a busy atmosphere. Gerling and Fresa worked together to carefully process the Hof purple leaves into the ingredients needed for the potion. They maintained a high degree of concentration and rigor in every step, fearing that any details would be missed.

"First, we need to steam the purple leaves to extract their essence." Fresa put the purple leaves into the pot and carefully adjusted the heat, while Gerling prepared other ingredients on the side. They worked together tacitly and smoothly, as if they were already used to this kind of work.

At the same time, Sina was busy at the side, bringing them food and water from time to time, with joy on her face. She looked at her two friends, her heart filled with warmth and happiness, as if this was the life she longed for. Simple and fulfilling time became more precious because of friendship.

After a busy period, finally, the steam from the pot slowly drifted away with the fragrance of the purple leaves of Hof. Gerling and Fresa smiled at each other, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment. At that moment, they understood that all their persistence and hard work were worth it.

After finishing the busy preparations, Gerling and Fresa sat on opposite chairs and enjoyed the freshly made purple leaf tea. The steaming hot tea exuded a refreshing aroma and brought a touch of warmth.

"This tea is really good, with a refreshing fragrance." Gerling took a sip and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. "This feeling is really relaxing."

"Yes, the effect of Hof Purple Leaf is not only in the potion, the tea itself can also help improve mental strength." Freiza also took a sip, his face full of joy, "Besides, I am very happy to share this achievement with you."

Just as they were immersed in the cheerful atmosphere, Sina suddenly changed the subject and showed a playful smile on her face: "Then should we celebrate this success? Why not hold a small party so that everyone can enjoy this good news."

Gerlin and Freisa looked at each other, and both of them agreed. Their efforts were not only for their own cultivation, but also to pass on this positive atmosphere to every teammate. Gerlin nodded and said, "Good idea, Sina. We can invite everyone to share the results of this time."

Sina's smile became brighter and brighter, and she hurried to arrange the banquet. She was busy in the kitchen, looking for ingredients and decorating the table, as excited as a little girl.

On the other side of the kitchen, Gerlin and Fresa continued to discuss the extraction of the potion from the Hof Purple Leaf, thinking about how to bring this discovery to more people. They both had a determined look on their faces, and their hearts were filled with longing for the future.

The courtyard of the manor was decorated with countless bright lights, and laughter filled every corner. Teammates arrived one after another and congratulated us on the harvest. The atmosphere became more and more lively, and everyone sat together and toasted to celebrate the success.

"For Gerling, Fresa, and our common future!" Amid the cheers of the crowd, Gerling raised his glass with a happy smile on his face.

Gerlin looked at the purple leaves and frowned. These were the materials Fresa had purchased from the area near Polar Night City last time. Although the quantity was considerable, the quality did not seem ideal. He carefully observed each purple leaf, trying to find any abnormal clues.

"Hmm?" Just then, his fingers touched a purple leaf. The leaf was a little loose, and seemed to have a different texture from the other purple leaves. Gerlin carefully picked up the leaf and examined it carefully under the candlelight.

Sure enough, the texture of this leaf looked a little unnatural, and there were even some tiny cracks on the edge. Gerlin's heart sank. Could it be that there were fakes mixed in with this batch of purple leaves? This was a key material for their entire team's cultivation of potions. If there was a quality problem, the consequences would be disastrous.

The door was gently pushed open, and Sina appeared behind it. Seeing Gerlin's worried expression, she walked up to him curiously: "Lord Gerlin, what's wrong with you? Are you in trouble?"

Gerlin sighed, handed the leaf in his hand to Sina, and said: "Look at this leaf. Is there any difference between it and the others?"

Sina took the leaf and examined it carefully for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "The texture of this leaf looks a little unnatural, and there are cracks on the edge. It doesn't seem to be a real Hof purple leaf!"

"That's right." Gerlin nodded, his expression solemn, "I suspect that this batch of purple leaves may be mixed with fakes. If that's the case, then we need to re-purchase."

Sina covered her mouth in surprise: "What should we do? That is the key material for our team's training! If there is a problem with the quality, it will affect the training progress of all of us."

"I know, this is indeed a big problem." Gerling pondered for a moment and continued, "However, we cannot blindly deny this entire batch of purple leaves. Maybe there are just some fakes mixed in. We need to check carefully and separate the real ones from the fakes."

So, for the next few hours, Gerlin and Sina worked together on the inspection. They carefully observed each leaf, trying to distinguish the real from the fake. This work was extremely tedious and required a high degree of concentration and patience.

Gradually, they sorted out a small number of leaves of poor quality from the batch of purple leaves. These leaves had rough texture and jagged edges, which were obviously very different from the real Hof purple leaves.

"It seems that our suspicion is correct." Gellin sighed, looking at the inferior products with mixed feelings in his heart, "These leaves cannot be used to make medicine at all, they can only be used as ordinary herbs."

Sina also showed a disappointed expression, but quickly cheered up: "However, at least we have sorted out most of the genuine purple leaves. Although the quantity has decreased a bit, it should still be enough for us to use in the short term."

"You're right." Gerlin nodded, looking at the crystal clear purple leaves, his worries finally eased a little, "We must cherish this batch of genuine purple leaves, and at the same time find new channels as soon as possible to purchase more materials."

So, in the next few days, Gerlin and Fresa began to look for new suppliers. They inquired about all possible places where Hof purple leaves grow near Polar Night City, but without exception, they all received the same reply: this precious material has been almost completely mined out.

"It seems that our concerns are correct." Fresa said solemnly, "The Hof purple leaf resources near Midnight City are almost exhausted. We must find another way."

"Yes, we need to go to places farther away to look for them." Gerling nodded, frowning, "However, those places are mostly inaccessible and have harsh environments, which greatly increases the risk of collecting them."

Freiza didn't seem to be intimidated by these words. A determined light ignited in her eyes: "It doesn't matter. We must strive to obtain enough materials, even if it means taking greater risks. The team's training is of great importance, and we must go all out."

So, after careful planning, Gerling and Fresa organized a collection team to go to the distant valley to find the place where the Hof purple leaf grows. The journey was extremely dangerous, and they had to cross many mountains and deep primeval forests, and they might also encounter attacks from ferocious wild animals.

However, no difficulty could stop their determination. A few months later, when the collection team returned with a full load, Gerling and Fresa could not hide their joy. This time, they collected a large amount of high-quality Hof purple leaves, enough to support the entire team's training needs for several years.

"Great, we have finally solved the problem of material shortage!" Fresa said happily, her face filled with a smile of surviving a disaster.

"Yes, it's all thanks to your persistence and hard work." Gerling said sincerely, "If it weren't for you, we might never have found such a good source of material."

Freiza smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling with pride: "This is my duty. For the whole team, I am willing to give everything."

In this way, the crisis was finally overcome. From then on, Gerling and his teammates no longer had to worry about the shortage of materials. They could practice with peace of mind, focus on improving their own strength, and be fully prepared for the more brutal battles in the future.
