I wish that it can be a good chance for one to intensify from you more experience.

Which is better and professional is to say the first highlighted word or the second one?

The clarification:
I'd like to say to someone in business email that I wish that I can get from him more experience when it comes to the IT field.
Can you explain what you mean by "get from him more experience"? You want to acquire experience by working with/for him or you want him to tell you more about his IT experience? The intention is not clear to me.

In any case, I don't see how "intensify" will work here. "Augment" is possible, depending on the intended meaning but the sentence will have to be reworded slightly.
The person that I'm going to send him the email is an expert in IT field. I already have an experience in this field but I'm eager to get from him more experience in this field being that he's an expert

The problem is with "get from him". You can't get experience from him in English. You can get/gain experience by working with him. You can augment your skills by working with him.

I'm afraid this is turning into a proofreading exercise. Proofreading and wholesale editing are not allowed by our rules. To answer your original question, the original sentence doesn't work with either "augment" or "intensify" and it has other problems as well.
