Chapter 123: Chapter 110: Philosopher’s Stone (Part 3)
At the same time, he found a thought-provoking conclusion at the end of "Examination of Extraordinary Professions of Alien Races":
"Although various races have developed diverse systems of extraordinary professions, in terms of overall potential, the path of the Wizard remains the most expansive."
"The reason lies in the fact that the Wizard’s path does not rely on inherent bloodline, but rather continually breaks limits through acquired learning and knowledge accumulation. The inherent bloodline abilities of various alien races are certainly powerful, but are often limited to specific directions, whereas Wizards can almost touch any field through learning."
"As the ancient saying goes: ’Bloodline determines the starting point, effort determines the endpoint.’"
"However, each extraordinary profession has its unique advantages and highlights. The comprehensiveness of Wizards often comes at the cost of a longer learning path, whereas specialized professions can quickly reach peaks in specific areas."

Returning the book to its place, Ron was filled with a multitude of thoughts.
These insights further reinforced his determination to develop multiple paths in parallel — combining the Wizard’s broadness with various bloodline activations might just be the ideal growth path.
When returning to the workshop, night had fallen deeply.
Ailan stood at the door to welcome him, vines gently swaying, appearing more lively than before.
"Master, welcome back."
She no longer needed to laboriously join letters with vines, but directly used large leaves as writing boards, generating text on them.
"Ailan, you look... different." Ron cautiously said.
Ailan’s vines gently danced: "I feel... clearer, my thoughts more coherent, this sensation is quite astonishing."
"That’s great." Ron said with a smile: "I’m very happy to see your growth."
Walking into the studio, Ron saw a bottle of Sun Essence on the table, the latest version he had refined that morning.
It included more Sun Orchid extracts than the previous formula, theoretically capable of better activating positive energy within the body.
"It’s time." he muttered to himself, picking up the potion that emitted a golden glow: "Let’s see how the improved effect is."
Ron took a deep breath and drank it all at once.
In an instant, a surge of scorching energy rushed from his throat to his limbs, as if liquid sunlight was flowing through his veins.
He could feel every meridian in his body lighting up, every muscle vibrating, and every inch of his skin emitting a mild heat
"This effect... is much stronger than expected!"
Ron was surprised to discover that the positive energy within him was rapidly activated, creating a strong resonance with the Crown Breathing Technique.
He immediately sat cross-legged, adjusting his breathing according to the principles of the "Crown Breathing Technique."
With each inhale, the energy activated by the potion gathered toward the central hub;
With each breath hold, the energy circulated through the meridians, strengthening vessels and muscles;
With each exhale, impurities and congestion were expelled out of the body.
Ron could clearly perceive that the potion’s effect and his breathing technique formed a perfect synergy, mutually enhancing, creating a positive cycle.
Concentrating all his attention, he adjusted his breathing to the most optimal state, guiding the energy to launch an assault on the final barrier.
At the crucial moment, his perception suddenly became extremely acute as if he could see every drop of blood, every meridian inside himself.
In this nearly transparent perception, he discovered a peculiar energy flowing in his blood - an ancient and formidable force, dormant in the genes of every individual, just waiting to be awakened.
This force seemed to sense Ron’s call and began gradually awakening.
