Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 113 The Pot of Equivalence! Meditation Method! (2nd update! 5200 words, please subscribe!)

"Money can make the devil turn the millstone; the ancients were right."

Li Wei originally just wanted to conduct an experiment, but he never expected this.

Gold can indeed harm evil spirits.

Although this damage is relatively minor.

But this is also a major breakthrough.

This is equivalent to making a monster like an evil spirit, which can't lose health no matter how you attack it, have a health bar displayed in front of the player.

As long as you have a health bar, you can use an axe to hack your way from Greek mythology to Norse mythology.

Li Wei could also rely on his powerful defenses to slowly wear down the evil spirit.

I'm not afraid of low damage, I'm afraid of not losing health no matter how I attack.

"In that case, I need to forge a set of golden inner... no, golden armor."

Li Wei naturally wouldn't wear this golden armor on the outside; he would wear it underneath.

This gold armor won't be very thick; it'll be made to a thickness similar to gold paper.

"This way, I'll have more confidence when facing evil spirits in the future."

He had saved a lot of money, of which 10,000 gold coins were used to forge this golden holy sword.

He planned to take some of the remaining gold coins and make them into a golden armor.

Without hesitation, Li Wei made full use of his forging skills and began to arm himself.

Two days later.

Li Wei, adorned with gold and silver, stood inside the shelter looking like a nouveau riche.

"No, the golden legend is still too dazzling, too glittering, and it's easy for people to target it. I need to add some paint." Li Wei painted the golden armor black.

The black and gold Saint Cloth is also quite good.

The golden holy sword was also wrapped in strips of cloth by Li Wei.

Otherwise, this thing would be too conspicuous to carry around; it's practically like it has "I'm rich, come and rob me" written on its back.

"Such valuable equipment shouldn't be left without a name."

"The Black Gold Cloth is called... the Golden Thread Cloth."

Li Wei originally wanted to name it "Golden Armor," but he felt it didn't sound very good.

"The Golden Holy Sword is called, Echo of Gold."

From now on, Li Wei will always carry two swords.

In his left hand is the mithril sword, Frostmourne, which is his main weapon.

In his right hand was a golden sword, its golden melody echoing; this was his secondary weapon.

Mithril slays men and the dead, gold vanquishes evil and malevolent spirits!

Two swords, each with a clearly defined role.

After all, gold is not very hard and is not suitable as a primary weapon.

"Perfect. I guess I can be considered an exorcist now."

Black mist, the seal of dragon's might, the lingering echo of metal.

These are all effective methods against evil spirits.

Even if we encounter powerful evil spirits in the future, we should be able to put them to the test.

"Gold is truly a wonderful thing. It not only gives me financial security but also physical security," Li Wei remarked.

We still need to make more money.

I'll build myself a golden house someday, no matter how high or low I am.

That is true immunity to evil spirits.

"Now that my strength is about right, I can go and dig out that snuff bottle. I want to see what's inside."

"It's most likely an evil spirit. But we can't rule out the possibility that it's a wizard's prank or something."

"Let's wait another month and let my Frost Giant's Sigh cool down before we talk about it."

And so, Li Wei waited another month.

During this month, he continued to cultivate and further strengthen himself. The black ghost claw marks that the Water Fairy had scratched him out of before slowly disappeared, which relieved Li Wei.

Finally, the Frost Giant's Sigh has cooled down and can be used again.

"Let's begin, prepare to open the snuff bottle."

Everything is ready; Li Wei has made the best preparations he can to date.

Although there are still some risks, Levi felt it was worth a try in order to understand the wizarding world.

He did this based on his own strength, although in terms of raw power, he might still be a little weaker than someone like the Imperial Fist.

However, in terms of tactics, the Imperial Fist might not necessarily be stronger than itself.

If that snuff bottle truly contains an evil spirit.

I should also be able to put up a fight.

Moreover, my spider sense hasn't reacted to that snuff bottle so far.

Overall, after considering all the factors, Li Wei believed it was worth a try.

He went up the mountain behind the shelter and dug up the snuff bottle where he had previously buried it.

Li Wei has already prepared the Guardian Seal, the Dragon's Might Seal.

He had already made up his mind, regardless of whether there were evil spirits inside.

The moment you open the lid, first cast the Guardian Seal on yourself, and then cast the Dragon's Might Seal into the air.

"call."

Li Wei took a deep breath and did a final check on all his equipment.

Frost Giant's Sigh, Poison, Frostmourne, Golden Echo, Frost Giant's Armor, Golden Robe, Spellcasting Materials, Demon Shark, Demon Mountain...

On Li Wei's chest, the black serpent seed spiraled and coiled, riding the clouds and mist, encircling his heart.

Seventh-tier siren, giant rhinoceros, blood whale, and sixth-tier human-faced spider.

Everything is ready to go!

Black energy surged into Li Wei's limbs and bones, enveloping him in black flames, his hair standing on end like a Saiyan.

Magic Shark held the snuff bottle, awaiting Li Wei's instructions.

Li Wei kept himself three meters away from the Demon Shark and the others, so that he would have a chance to escape no matter what happened, as they were within his attack range.

"open!"

Li Wei finished speaking.

Magic Shark then unscrewed the lid of the snuff bottle.

at the same time.

A reprimand came from inside the snuff bottle.

A distorted shadow emerged from the snuff bottle.

"Didn't I tell you? To summon the true self, you need to use a spell, not this method. Besides, wasn't the last deal completed?"

It was a vaguely discernible, bald, ghostly figure.

next moment.

hold head high!

Accompanied by a roar from a giant dragon!

The bald phantom's face was filled with shock, astonishment, disbelief, and fear.

He then noticed that the bald man standing in front of him was no longer the familiar Athos!

Instead, it was a stranger wearing a white wolf mask.

This person was shrouded in that exaggerated black aura, and he looked like a demon god who had just crawled out of the abyss, or a nightmare knight from the abyss!

This level of strength seems to be even greater than that of Ayatos!

But that's not the scariest part.

The most terrifying thing was behind that person, in the void, a golden eye bathed in blazing golden flames, burning with an eternal flame that made all things tremble with fear and bow down in submission.

That's... a dragon!

And it's a pureblood dragon!

Legend has it that the most powerful among pureblood dragons is a legendary creature comparable to a demigod!

This creature is aloof, arrogant, and powerful.

The only thing that can earn their respect or even fear.

Aside from the astral gods and the rulers of those multidimensional planes, there are the legendary wizards who are wise, learned, and incredibly powerful.

Although it was just a tiny, insignificant phantom, it still startled the bald man.

"Hey... what are you doing? Let's talk this out... ah! ah!"

A powerful mental wave struck, impacting the bald phantom.

His figure suddenly became mostly blurred.

At the same time, he watched the white wolf figure covered in bright silver light as the burly knight lunged at him with his demonic claws encased in black flames, letting out a roar.

They seized their own destiny by the neck.

Then, a jet-black knight's sword began to stab him repeatedly.

That wasn't all; he still wanted to argue his point.

The man then switched to a longsword that appeared to be made of mithril and began stabbing himself repeatedly.

"Stop stabbing me! Stop stabbing me! I'm not an undead, mithril has no effect on me, I'm not an evil spirit, gold has no effect on me either. Who are you?"

The bald, phantom-like figure cried out in pain.

Li Wei unleashed another burst of the Spider's Breath, sending poisonous powder flying everywhere.

At the same time, he also activated the Sigh of the Frost Giant.

As the phantom of the frost giant appeared, it snapped its fingers.

This area was completely frozen over.

"Your Excellency, it must be so cruel! I'm just a spirit of a weapon. Why are you treating me like this? We have no past grievances or present enemies, have we? Why are you so vicious as to try to kill me?"

The bald phantom was almost burned away by the black energy.

Most of Li Wei's methods were ineffective against him... except for the black aura and the Dragon's Might Seal, especially the Dragon's Might Seal.

That thing really hurt so much, it almost blew him away...

After Li Wei unleashed a series of attacks, he was slightly surprised to discover that the "evil spirit" sealed in the snuff bottle could actually speak.

He suddenly understood something.

"This must be a high-level evil spirit. Let me use Dragon Might Seal a few more times." Li Wei began preparing hand seals again.

Seeing Li Wei forming hand seals again, the bald phantom cried out, "Sir, what exactly do you want to do? If you do it again, I'll die."

Li Wei finally stopped what he was doing, still holding the bald, phantom figure in his hand.

So far, the spider senses have not detected any danger signals.

Even though the chained evil spirit was weak, it still gave Li Wei a sense of danger. But this guy didn't give him any sense of danger at all.

Either he meant no harm to me, or he... is too weak.

"Come on, give me some reasons that convince me. If I'm satisfied, I might spare your life. Otherwise, prepare to vanish into thin air. You should have realized by now that I definitely have ways to kill you," Li Wei threatened.

"Okay...okay, let's talk this out. I'm really just a spirit." The bald phantom said weakly.

"I see that you seem to know about magic seals. You must be a descendant of one of the four great families. Although I don't know much about the four great families, I still know a little about them."

"The fact that you can use the hand seals so skillfully, especially the dragon hand seal just now, shows that your spellcasting talent is quite good."

"To be honest, before I became this damned spirit, I was a wizard's apprentice."

"As long as you don't erase me, I'm willing to acknowledge you as my master and teach you meditation techniques. Besides, you are a knight yourself, and I know a secret medicine that can help improve a knight's rank. My previous master broke through to become a Grand Knight with my help. Otherwise, with his talent, how could he have broken through to become a Grand Knight?"

"Heh, do you think I'm a fool?" Li Wei sneered.

However, I felt a secret excitement in my heart.

He felt he was close to finding a way to become a wizard.

Of course, it is precisely at times like these that one must remain calm.

"There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me."

"Since you claim to be a wizard, let me ask you, do you know the witch Gulvig?" Levi asked coldly, his large black hand gripping the bald phantom.

Without hesitation, the bald phantom said, "Of course I know her... She is a powerful figure from the [Frost Realm], a pioneer of the Ice School, and possibly the woman closest to the Goddess of Ice and Snow."

Li Wei's expression remained unchanged, but he was muttering to himself.

"It seems that the woman who forged the armor for the Mellon family hundreds of years ago was no ordinary person. She is still alive now and seems to be a very famous figure in the wizarding world. The Frost Realm, it seems to be the name of the Realm of the Believers."

Li Wei calmly asked again, "Where is the witch Rowling?"

"Ms. Rowling, a powerful wizard of the [Realm of Life], the master of the School of Life..."

"You probably think I don't know much about the wizarding world, and you're trying to test whether I'm lying?"

"Then you've asked the wrong questions, since both of these people are very famous."

The bald, ghostly figure spoke cautiously.

Li Wei was speechless.

The two wizarding leads I finally found turned out to be big shots in the wizarding world?

However, this bald man seems to be someone from the wizarding world.

"It seems the decline of the four great families is far beyond my imagination. You don't even know such basic knowledge," said the bald phantom.

"If you can talk, then talk more." Li Wei grabbed hard, and the bald phantom howled in pain.

"I...I can't breathe..."

"Aren't you a spirit? Do you need to breathe air?"

"But you're choking me with your black energy, I really am suffocating."

After the ordeal, the bald phantom was barely breathing, but Li Wei didn't care and coldly said, "Give me the meditation method, and you can continue to stay inside."

"According to the [principle of equivalent exchange], you have to provide me with corresponding consideration before I can give you the meditation method... Hey, don't kill me yet. This wasn't my decision; it was a rule imposed by the creator of this magical artifact. Don't blame me. I also wanted to give it to you for free to save my own life," the bald phantom said weakly and helplessly.

Li Wei stared at the bald, phantom figure, lost in thought.

Then he asked, "What kind of consideration do you need?"

"Only the power of the soul can maintain the normal operation of this magical artifact. Therefore, the creator of this magical artifact set the equivalent exchange price as the soul. The higher the level of life of the soul, the higher its value. The souls of some low-level life forms are useless."

"Can a human do it?"

"Ordinary people won't do; it has to be knight-level, and the best is a great knight. The soul of a great knight is enough to keep this magical artifact running for many years."

"What's the use of this artifact? Who created it? Don't lie to me; it won't do you any good. If you treat me sincerely, with my strength, maintaining this artifact shouldn't be a problem," Li Wei said.

"Can you let go of me? I'm going to be strangled to death."

"No, if you say another word, I'll annihilate you completely."

"No, I'll tell you. My name is Tutankhamun. This magical artifact is called the [Pot of Equivalence]. It was made by a formal wizard of the School of Souls. I was his wizard apprentice. He plotted against me and trapped me in this container, making me a spirit without desires and unable to do anything. Its purpose is to serve as an heirloom of his family in the secular world."

To prevent his family from becoming overly reliant on the artifact, he also established an equivalent exchange principle, requiring members of his family to continuously hunt knights from other families to maintain the artifact's operation.

Within this magical artifact are some of the important heritages that are important to secular families, including their family's breathing techniques, secret medicines, and other heritages that are helpful for knights' training, and even a small portion of the heritages from the apprentice stage of wizarding.

All his family disciples need to do is complete an equivalent exchange to obtain this inherited knowledge from the witch artifact. In this way, his family will have a foundation to make a living in the secular world. If someone with the aptitude of a witch appears, they may be able to embark on the path of a witch through the witch inheritance he left behind. He will personally guide his descendants into the realm of the unbelievers.

However, man proposes, God disposes. He had meticulously planned so much, but after going to the Land of the Unbelievers, he never returned. Later, some members of his family became wizard apprentices, but they never saw him return. He most likely died in the wizarding world.

Later, his family also declined. Despite his meticulous planning and many contingency plans, his descendants were simply not up to par.

Ultimately, their family was wiped out by the Wilderness Brotherhood, and the [Equivalent Pot] fell into the hands of the Wilderness Brotherhood's vice president. I disguised myself as an evil spirit and tricked him, providing him with knowledge of a secret potion that could be used for a knight's breakthrough. At the same time, I made him hunt knights for me, and I used the souls of the knights to keep this magical artifact running.

Everything I said is true. I really do possess wizarding meditation techniques. Please don't deny it. Although I'm living a miserable life right now, at least I can indirectly possess a long life through this spirit-based method. Even though it's boring, I really don't want to die.

The bald, phantom figure claiming to be Tutankhamun pleaded.

"What would happen if I chopped this snuff bottle into pieces or burned it?" Li Wei asked calmly, pointing his longsword at the snuff bottle in the Demon Shark's hand.

"No... I'll die if I do that, and it won't do you any good. I'm just a spirit; I can handle an ordinary knight, but I'm no match for a great knight."

"The bald, phantom-like figure said."

Li Wei was skeptical of his words, but he still temporarily gave up on killing him.

After all, the conditions offered by the other party were indeed very tempting.

"Wizard Meditation Method"

This was something Li Wei had always dreamed of.

With this thing, Li Wei had one foot on the path of a wizard.

"I can keep you around for now, but I hope you won't try anything funny with me."

"Now, tell me, if I need [meditation], how many knights' souls do I need to provide according to the principle of equivalent exchange?"

Li Wei said in a dangerous tone.

"The souls of the three great knights, the meditation method is the most valuable item in the equivalent pot; the souls of ordinary knights are not of sufficient quality," said the bald, muscular phantom.

"One would have been enough, but your magic seal made me lose too much power..." he muttered, sounding somewhat resentful and aggrieved.

"Yes, how can I offer you my soul?"

"You only need to take me with you and release me within seven minutes after killing the enemy. I will then absorb the enemy's soul to maintain the operation of this magical artifact."

"Alright, I hope you're not lying to me, or you'll disappear from this world completely and won't even be qualified to become a spirit." Li Wei said, pointing to the snuff bottle.

"Now, go in by yourself. Come out again when we need you next time."

"Do you need me to tell you my reveal spell? That way next time you can just call me out without opening the lid..."

"No need, get back here now."

"Okay."
