Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 142 Tenth-Order Black Serpent! Extraordinary Organ! (1st Update! 10000 words, please subscribe!)

Inside the Shining Tavern, Li Wei listened quietly.

He ordered a drink and leisurely listened to the conversations of travelers from all directions.

Many of them are about the treasure of the Golden Knight, Grek.

During this period of time, he investigated and summarized various local folk tales about the Golden Knight, and increasingly felt that his Golden Cross Slash was very likely created by the Golden Knight.

However, for the sake of a vague possibility, they set sail to search for that unrealistic treasure.

Li Wei felt it wasn't very realistic either.

So he continued to wait quietly.

Let's see who the ultimate winner of this grand Age of Exploration was.

Then I can make targeted visits.

However, Li Wei believed that given some more time, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to comprehend the power of rotation on his own.

Inside the tavern, Sir Anderson was also drinking in a corner.

Li Wei thought for a moment, ordered a drink, and went to stand in front of Sir Anderson.

Sir Anderson smiled slightly and said, "You've come to a decision, sir?"

Li Wei said, "Yes, but I hope you can understand me. As a lord, protecting my people is my duty."

Li Wei began to play the morality card, after all, the other party seemed to be a rare old knight who truly adhered to the code of chivalry.

"Of course I understand, that's why I didn't seek revenge against you."

"That's what the Knight Anderson said."

Levi nodded and led Knight Anderson back to Black Serpent Castle.

He took out Vinera's urn and calmly said, "These are the remains of that vampire."

Sir Anderson's face twitched: "Your Excellency is truly kind, directly cremating this junior of mine."

Li Wei smiled awkwardly: "I've heard that vampires have strong regenerative abilities, so I had no choice but to do this."

Anderson Knight casually put the box back.

The box vanished from his hands out of thin air.

Li Wei knew that this old guy had real storage items; he was indeed no ordinary person.

To be able to befriend a wizard while being a vampire, that's quite impressive.

"Thank you for your kindness, but what is your request?" Sir Anderson asked.

Li Wei thought for a moment: "I wonder what school of wizardry Lord Anderson's friends belong to?"

Anderson thought for a moment and said, "I know two wizard friends, one in the school of death and the other in the school of alchemy. Which school of thought does your meditation practice belong to?"

Li Wei thought for a moment and said, "The oceanographic school."

Hearing this, Anderson frowned slightly: "The Ocean School... As for the traditional schools, I don't really know anyone, but I'll ask my wizard friends to ask around. If there are any official wizards in the Ocean School who are still short of people, I'll get you a spot."

As you probably know, wizards from traditional schools of thought like the Natural School are quite arrogant and don't really like dealing with people from other races like us.

On the contrary, the wizards of the new school, because their foundation is still shallow, are more open and inclusive, so all the wizard friends I know are from the new school.

The old scholars of the traditional school of thought are not easy to deal with.

The Knight Anderson remarked that he was very knowledgeable, and Levi felt that the old man seemed to know more than Tutankhamun.

However, in retrospect, this vampire is truly a very traditional knight, a rare gentleman, honest, trustworthy, and committed to justice—a rare find indeed.

If I can get on good terms with this old guy, I might be able to get some benefits myself.

Thinking of this, Levi asked, "Sir Anderson, does your alchemist friend still need apprentices?"

He thought about it and decided to temporarily set aside the school of thought on death.

Tutankhamun's experiences made him keep his distance from the school of death. Although he knew that every school of thought had its dark side, his preconceived notions made him dislike the school of death.

"Let me ask around for you. He has quite a few wizard apprentices under him now, so you might not have many opportunities to stand out. Also, your meditation method is from the Ocean School, which might not meet his requirements."

"That's what the Knight Anderson said."

In truth, Li Wei wanted to say that he could practice any school of meditation, but then he thought better of it.

I'll have Sir Anderson inquire for me while I wait for news from Fire Paper.

We'll take a two-pronged approach, using whichever is more suitable when the time comes.

After the deal was completed, Levi hosted a banquet at his home to entertain Anderson the Cavaliers.

Even legendary knights are human; they must be adept at navigating social interactions and interpersonal relationships.

Previously, Li Wei was too wary, but now that everyone has gotten to know each other, Li Wei naturally wants to be more enthusiastic.

Anderson the Cavaliers may have been lonely for too long.

He himself had no descendants.

The so-called juniors are actually not related to him by blood at all.

However, because he was the first generation of secondary vampires, with the longest seniority, the strongest strength, and the highest prestige, everyone called him "Elder".

After the banquet, Li Wei warmly sent someone to escort Sir Anderson home. Before leaving, Sir Anderson said, "Your knightly talent is top-notch. Even if you become a wizard in the future, do not give up the path of knighthood. My biggest feeling after stepping into the realm of legendary knighthood is that the legendary path of knighthood may not be the end, but there is always a layer of constraint that prevents me from seeing the road ahead. If you ever reach the realm of legendary knighthood, we can exchange our experiences. I have no wizarding talent, so I have no hope of becoming a wizard in this life. I can only pin my hopes on the path of knighthood."

Given Anderson's legendary knightly status, he could naturally see that Levi, at his current age, was already a top-tier knight. This meant that Levi's knightly talent was absolutely top-notch, no weaker than his own back then.

Another important reason why he wanted to befriend Li Wei was that there were too few people like him and Li Wei in this world.

Especially among legendary knights, there is almost no communication with like-minded people.

After all, most legendary knights were not born in the same era, and even if they were, they were unwilling to show their faces in public because of the church.

Therefore, Anderson believes that every potential legendary knight is worth befriending.

"Thank you for your advice, Lord Anderson. I will continue to follow the path of chivalry."

Li Wei expressed his sincere gratitude.

This old man is truly extraordinary.

With Levi's current knowledge of breathing techniques, only legendary knights can rival him, so Anderson and Levi had a very pleasant conversation, feeling as if they had known each other for a long time.

Li Wei also learned that the Anderson Knight was the once-famous legendary ranger, Blood Knight Brad!

This knight's fame is widespread, that's universally acknowledged.

Li Wei was now quite reassured about Blood Knight Brad's character.

Because Li Wei believed he couldn't be an idealistic hero in such an era.

This kind of mentality and perseverance is truly remarkable.

Given the fact that the other party is a vampire, it is all the more commendable that they were able to do this.

In spiritual practice, the resources, companions, methods, and environment are essential. Companions are essentially those who share the same path.

In the long process of spiritual practice, one must have like-minded people with whom one can truly talk and discuss the Dao, otherwise it will feel tedious.

Unfortunately, Sir Anderson did not possess any wizarding talent.

However, given his vampire status, many wizards are probably dead, but he won't die.

The month of harvest in the year 1016 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

Livy practiced his meditation method step by step.

Over the past period of time, Sir Anderson often came to Levi to discuss the mysteries of breathing techniques. He never expected that Levi, at such a young age, would have such a profound understanding of breathing techniques.

Li Wei knew that this was all thanks to the hard work he had put into accumulating experience bit by bit.

Each time I gained proficiency, it was actually a gradual process of gaining insights and understanding. Over time, my understanding of breathing techniques truly surpassed that of ordinary people.

Most importantly, Li Wei practiced a whole host of breathing techniques at the same time, which is probably unprecedented and will never be repeated.

Therefore, Li Wei can master any type of breathing technique with ease, and explain it in great detail.

Li Wei also learned some knowledge about advancing to legendary knight from Sir Anderson.

This knowledge is extremely valuable; in Livy's view, it is even more precious than meditation.

Meditation techniques are relatively easy to obtain in the wizarding world, but the cultivation insights and breakthrough methods of legendary knights are extremely rare.

After all, looking at the history of the Seven Kingdoms, even the Great Knights were as numerous as carp crossing a river.

However, legendary knights are extremely rare.

Blood Knight Brad is one of the seven legendary knights specifically commemorated by the Shining Tavern, demonstrating his extraordinary status.

Through the explanation of the Knight Anderson, Li Wei learned that the legendary knight needed a second transformation of the life seed.

After this transformation, the Seed of Life will modify the legendary knight's body, and depending on the characteristics of the breathing technique, a "supernatural organ" will be born within the body.

If the Great Knight achieved his extraordinary abilities by relying on dark energy...

The biggest difference between the legendary knight and the great knight is that the latter directly evolves his physical body using the seed of life.

To make a certain part of the body transcend the ordinary!

To achieve the goal of transcending the mundane and undergoing a complete transformation!

This is the power of a legendary knight.

However, Levi is still some distance from becoming a legendary knight.

He hasn't even reached level ten in the Black Serpent Breathing Technique yet.

Li Wei estimated that the extraordinary organs born from the Black Serpent Breathing Technique should be related to defense.

"Could it be that my skin is turning into scales, and I'm becoming a snake-man?" Li Wei thought to himself with a wry smile.

The legendary knight is still a long way from him; for now, it's just a dream.

Moreover, according to Anderson, breaking through to the legendary knight level generally requires strong mental strength.

According to wizarding standards, to break through to the level of a legendary knight, one needs the mental strength level of a mid-level wizard apprentice.

This is another reason why legendary knights are so rare, because most ordinary people, without practicing meditation, simply cannot reach the level of a mid-level wizard apprentice in terms of mental strength.

If someone is truly born with such spiritual power, then that person must be a chosen one, a true legendary genius.

However, most knights do not have the talent for wizardry, so they have virtually no way to improve their spiritual power. In the end, even a brilliant knight like the White Horse Knight did not break through to become a legendary knight.

It was only through a series of coincidences that Sir Anderson became a vampire, which solved his mental problem and allowed him to reach the legendary level.

"Indeed, even a knight, in the end, needs a unity of body and soul, with both physical and mental strength advancing in tandem!"

Li Weiming understood.

He now has a basic understanding of the path of a legendary knight, something that most great knights do not possess.

Because there are so few legendary knights, there is no systematic summary of experience regarding legendary knights.

It was precisely because of the vampire clan that Li Wei befriended Anderson, which enabled him to learn about breaking through to the legendary level.

Time flew by, and while Li Wei inquired about the Golden Knight's treasure, he silently cultivated himself within the castle.

Of course, he will also keep an eye on the snow demon disaster in the north.

To his surprise, he wondered if the church's so-called divine revelation had come into play.

In short, after Blue Frost spread to Black Mountain City, it did not continue southward.

Icewind City is doing well so far, and apart from some snow demons from Black Mountain City, it has not suffered the Blue Frost Calamity.

Nothing happened in his own Blackwater Valley.

This left Li Wei both amused and exasperated.

However, he does not regret his decision.

After getting used to living in the South, I realized that the South is still the best.

Whether in terms of climate or production development, the South is superior to the North.

Li Wei's path to becoming a lord is gradually getting on track. With professionals managing his territory, the finances of Flower City and Stormwind City haven't declined much compared to before.

Li Wei has not yet found a suitable successor.

When I leave this world, I will need someone to manage my territory.

He can only take it one step at a time.

Time flew by and it was now the North Wind Moon.

After a long period of practice, Livi finally pushed his Giant Breathing technique to its limit.

Li Wei————

Giant Breathing Technique: Level 9 (Limit, can be broken), Special Effect: Frosty Arms (Gaseous).

……

After reaching the ninth level of the Giant Breathing Technique, the previous extraordinary power advanced to Frost Arm.

Li Wei clearly felt that his power was much stronger than before.

Now, if I were to face the Duke of Black Mountain again, I wouldn't be much weaker than him.

This is Li Wei's first power-type breathing technique to reach the ninth level limit.

In addition, he also possesses the eighth-tier Ostrich Mountain, Giant Rhinoceros, and Crimson Lotus Breathing Technique.

Without a doubt, the ultimate mastery of the power-type breathing technique is the perfect quality Crimson Lotus.

One particularly unfortunate piece of news is that after Li Wei reached the ninth level of the Giant Breathing Technique, his height finally reached 2.2 meters, and his weight was as high as 600-700 kilograms...

Although not as exaggerated as the Imperial Fist, this size still gave Li Wei a headache.

If it weren't for the Siren's Breathing Technique's ability to shrink and transform, such a large size would cause many problems in daily life. But there's nothing that can be done about it; power doesn't come from nowhere, but from the continuous strengthening of the body.

Black energy swirled within the giant within Li Wei's body, then coiled around Li Wei's arms.

A bone-chilling coldness spread through his arms, and Li Wei could feel the surrounding temperature drop.

His arms emanated a chilling aura, with water vapor condensing around him and turning into frost, as if he were wearing icy armor.

"Even after reaching the ninth level of the Giant Breathing Technique, there's still such a faint frost effect?" Li Wei was slightly taken aback.

His arms were like the frost giant's arms, full of muscles, exaggerated, and full of power.

Li Wei slammed his palm against the wall.

A layer of frost immediately covered the wall.

Li Wei put his arm in the water.

After a short while, the bucket of water also froze.

"Amazing, this must be a spell-like ability. Although it's very weak, the effect is better than nothing, but it is indeed a spell-like ability?" Li Wei murmured to himself.

The frost-covered arm effect was even more impressive than he had imagined.

Li Wei experimented with the newly acquired frost-covered arm effect again and again, until finally, a thin layer of frost condensed over the entire room.

Of course, such an effect would not cause any effective damage to the enemy in actual combat.

But for Li Wei, this seems to be an inspiration.

"If this special effect continues to improve, will I develop true spell-like abilities? Perhaps I won't even need frost-based spells; could I simply unleash a palm strike to freeze everything? Like the legendary frost giant?"

"Isn't this just a case of innate supernatural power arising from the physical body?"

Li Wei pondered in his heart.

Of course, all of this will only be known after Li Wei continuously upgrades the special effects.

However, as a power-type breathing technique, there are many variations, so Li Wei doesn't need to worry about the Giant Breathing Technique breaking its limits.

Their strength has steadily increased once again.

Li Wei was also quite happy.

He went to the Shining Tavern for a drink to celebrate.

Then I went to chat with Anderson the Knight for a while.

Sir Anderson told Levi that he had asked his wizard friend to inquire with some wizards of the Ocean School to see if anyone needed to take on wizard apprentices.

Unfortunately, the wizards have not yet replied.

Li Wei was quite curious about how Sir Anderson communicated with the wizard, but since Anderson didn't say so, Li Wei felt awkward asking, as it might involve someone's secret.

Before leaving, Anderson told Levi...

He could sense that some vampires seemed to have awakened from their slumber.

He told Li Wei to be careful during this period.

Because Vinella's relationships within the vampire community don't just involve Knight Anderson alone.

Other vampires might not be as easy to talk to as Anderson.

He was worried about the potential conflict between Levi and other vampires.

This is not the outcome he wants to see, regardless of which side gets hurt.

In response, Li Wei said that as long as no one provokes him, he will definitely not cause trouble.

Anderson had no choice but to tell Levi that if any vampires caused him trouble, he could go to Anderson, who might be able to mediate and resolve the issue peacefully.

Li Wei expressed his gratitude to Anderson.

Upon returning home, Li Wei ordered his men to increase patrols around the Flower City.

"I have to say, vampires are really troublesome," Li Wei thought to himself.

In this situation, he could only try to improve his strength as much as possible before any potential retaliation came.

As long as it's not a powerful figure like Anderson, who possesses both the identity of a legendary knight and a vampire, Levi isn't afraid of any other secondary vampires besides the original vampires.

With his trump cards, if these vampires dare to provoke him, he will make sure they never return.

Of course, it would be better if the conflict could be resolved through Anderson's Knights.

The year 1017 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Month, the New Year.

Li Wei's insect control technique has reached level three.

He can control up to one hundred armored scorpions.

In fact, that's all the Armored Scorpions he has right now.

Li Wei opened the insect house, and a hundred armored scorpions poured out.

They gathered around Li Wei, who then used his insect-controlling techniques to give them commands.

Basically, Li Wei is now able to give these armored scorpions some initial attack commands.

Of course, even the third-tier insect control technique still had limited effect on Li Wei.

It needs to be at least at level four to really work.

However, this raises a problem: Li Wei doesn't have enough Armored Scorpions right now.

Fortunately, among these one hundred armored scorpions, there are both males and females, so continuous reproduction is not a problem, although it will take some time.

Li Wei could see that there were significant differences in the development of these armored scorpions between individuals.

Some of the armored scorpions are very large and fierce, while others are smaller and listless.

This involves an important research area of ​​the entomological school: the selection and breeding of alien insects. They continuously screen out the best-quality, high-quality scarab scorpions for targeted mating and feed them with special evolutionary agents. As a result, their offspring have a higher probability of producing even more powerful scarab scorpions.

This is how the Sacred Armor Scorpion is continuously mutated in a positive direction through artificial intervention.

Ultimately, this inferior alien insect may one day transform into a terrifying superior alien insect.

However, Li Wei's knowledge in this area is not yet sufficient. The cultivation of the Sacred Armor Scorpion involves a lot of wizarding knowledge, including pharmacology, mutation, bloodline, and even alchemy. He has not systematically studied these, so for the time being, he can only let nature take its course.

Once we get to the Wizarding World, we can try to cultivate it.

During this period, in addition to the breakthrough in insect control, Li Wei's other major breakthrough was in the Black Serpent Breathing Technique, which he successfully trained to the tenth level limit.

Li Wei————

Black Serpent Breathing Technique: Level 10 (Limit, can be broken), Special Effect: Black Scales (Liquid).

……

With the tenth-tier Black Serpent Breathing Technique, Li Wei successfully advanced to the ranks of the most powerful knights below the legendary level.

At this stage, one is stronger than the top-tier Grand Knights that people often talk about, and is just one step away from becoming a legendary knight. According to some online novels from the previous life, this stage can be called: half-step legend.

The White Horse Knight, the Imperial Fist, and the Duke of Black Mountain were all powerful figures at this level.

Ordinary Grand Knights are no match for such powerful individuals; only top-tier Grand Knights can barely put up a fight.

Previously, Li Wei relied on his diverse breathing techniques and well-rounded attributes to be able to rival top-tier Grand Knights. Now, however, Li Wei can completely rely on his own cultivation to be on par with the Imperial Fist.

At Li Wei's heart, the black serpent seed is even more lifelike. The black serpent holding the candle is majestic and extraordinary, with sharp eyes and exuding a powerful aura.

Beneath the black serpent lay the colossal bipedal beast Crimson Lotus, roaring towards the sky; frost giants radiating an aura of frost; blood whales; sirens; giant rhinoceroses; ostriches; blood beasts; thunder wolves; vortex beasts…

Countless ancient mythical beasts vie for attention within Li Wei's body, their splendor and beauty creating a vibrant and lively scene.

This made Li Wei feel like his body had become a zoo.

When Li Wei emerged from his seclusion, he suddenly felt a warmth in his chest.

He quickly pulled the joss paper from his chest.

Then Li Wei was surprised to find that the fire paper was emitting blue smoke and spontaneously combusting.

"Finally, news has arrived."

Li Wei complained that he had been waiting for several years.

Finally, news has arrived from these four major families.

"There's no time to find a successor."

Suddenly Li Wei realized that if he left, what would happen to his territory?

He hasn't sorted things out yet.

While packing his important belongings, Li Wei pondered a solution.

He had thought about this issue before.

They did manage to find some suitable candidates.

However, although these people have good management skills and are loyal to me, they are not very capable.

For example, Sam. Although Sam is now a formal knight and Levi trusts him quite a bit, Sam's prestige in the City of Flowers is far from enough.

Given their strength, things were alright in the early stages, as they still had some influence in their territory. However, if they were to leave for too long and not return...

It seems some people are starting to get restless.

Don't be fooled by the fact that everyone is behaving like obedient children under Li Wei's fierce power.

Once Li Wei leaves, it won't be long before many members of the management team, driven by self-interest, will take risks and attempt to seize power and embezzle the wealth of their own territories.

Therefore, Li Wei always wanted a successor of the rank of Grand Knight who was absolutely loyal to him to manage his territory.

He only needs to act on his own will, sit in charge, and oversee the territory.

"I should ask Sir Anderson. He might have some good advice in this situation. Besides, I'm about to leave this world, so I should say goodbye to this old friend properly."

Li Wei packed all the things he needed to prepare for his trip to the Wizarding World and placed them in the Insect House and the Gluttony Bag.

Gold, Breathing Technique Transmission Diagram, Secret Medicine, Lion King's Pride, etc.

The ingredients for the secret medicine should be available in the Land of the Unbelievers, where resources are far more abundant than in the human world, so Li Wei is not worried about the future of the secret medicine.

After all that was prepared, the next issue was the three brothers and the two guardian generals. These pets that Li Wei had tamed in the human world definitely couldn't be taken away. Although the insect house could hold living creatures, it was clear that it couldn't hold these big guys.

Moreover, Li Wei felt that staying in the human world was their best destiny.

If Anderson's Knights also have no way to solve the succession problem that's been troubling Levi.

Li Wei temporarily entrusted the territory to a few people he trusted most. They were all brought from Blackwater Valley and, after long-term indoctrination and brainwashing, were absolutely obedient and loyal to Li Wei. There was basically no need to worry about betrayal.

Then the three brothers and the two generals, Heng and Ha, would take orders from these people from now on.

With five "divine beasts" guarding the territory, I shouldn't need to worry about it in the short term after I leave.

Especially Happes and Hendry, who both have very long lifespans, at least another hundred years or more, Levi thought this method was feasible.

Finally, there's Snow Eagle Harris.

Snow Eagle's lifespan is not long. When Li Wei took over Harris, it was already quite old. After all these years, Harris was actually in the twilight of Snow Eagle's life.

Li Wei patted Harris's head and said with a smile, "You're free, Harris. You can pursue whatever you want from now on, or you can retire in this castle. Anyway, someone will take care of your meals."

Harris tilted its head and looked at Levi. Levi could feel Harris's sadness. Harris had finally chosen to spend its old age peacefully in the castle. Its hunting ability had deteriorated too much, and it might starve to death if it went outside.

After basically handling the remaining matters concerning the territory.

Li Wei went to 13 Downton Street and found the Knight Anderson drinking chicken blood.

Upon seeing Levi's arrival, Anderson gracefully wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and then said, "Judging from your expression, it seems you're about to leave?"

Li Wei nodded: "Yes, I received a message from the four major families. I should be able to go to the Realm of the Believers soon, so I came to say goodbye."

Sir Anderson smiled and said, "Then congratulations. You don't come here unless you need something. You must have something to ask of me this time."

Li Wei gave a wry smile: "Yes."

Then, Li Wei told Anderson about the thing that had been troubling him.

Anderson chuckled: "You and I are the same, only concerned with cultivation and not finding a partner, otherwise you could have left behind a few offspring."

The current situation is indeed very awkward. For you, pursuing the path of a wizard is definitely more important. This is an opportunity that will not come again.

Regarding this territory, you want to find someone to formally transfer it to, making them a lord in the legal sense. However, this person must be completely loyal to you and will not betray you. On the surface, they are the lord, but in reality, they are your representative on earth.

"That's right, Lord Anderson, would you like to play the role of lord for a while? Haha." Levi asked, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Anderson shook his head: "Don't be silly, I don't want to be a lord, I'm more comfortable being alone."

The kind of request you made does have a secret technique among our vampires called the "Blood Slave Curse." Anyone afflicted by this curse will become your "blood servant," absolutely loyal to you.

However, the Blood Slave Curse can only be cast by us vampires. Why don't you become a vampire yourself? I can perform the transformation ritual for you, making you a vampire with a long lifespan. The price is that you will be hidden in the darkness, dislike sunlight, and will only be accompanied by blood from then on.

Anderson also joked.

Li Wei quickly shook his head. He didn't want to have to rely on drinking blood to survive in the future, nor did he want to lose the sunlight, nor did he want to be regarded as an outcast by wizards.

Apart from that, he didn't have any resistance to vampires.

"Besides the Blood Slave Curse, does Lord Anderson have any other methods?" Levi asked.

Anderson shook his head.

Li Wei jokingly said, "Why don't you let me see this Blood Slave Curse, Lord Anderson? What if I also have vampire blood?"

Anderson thought for a moment and said, "I still owe you a favor. Are you sure you want to use that favor to exchange for a spell that's useless to you?"

Li Wei nodded.

He has no other choice now.

He didn't trust anything else.

Judging from Sir Anderson's description, the Blood Slave Curse is exactly what he needs.

If I can learn this, then I should be able to solve my problem.

"Alright, this is your choice, no take-backs." Anderson handed a mnemonic to Li Wei.

Li Wei memorized the formula.

"Then I shall take my leave. If Lord Anderson ever needs any help in the future, please feel free to visit my castle and ask my steward. If you ever leave this world and go to the Land of the Unbelievers, we may meet again and continue to discuss the way of chivalry," Levi said.

"Forget it, I don't have any wizarding talent. Going to the Land of the Unbelievers would just be asking for trouble. I'd rather just stay here and eke out a living in the mortal realm," Sir Anderson said enviously.

He envied Livy, who possessed both knightly and wizardly talents. Livy had many paths to choose from, while he only had the path of chivalry.

As for their identity as vampires, secondary vampires reach their limit once they reach their own level of strength. If they want to become stronger, they can only become original vampires, which is even more difficult.

After bidding farewell to Sir Anderson, Levi went home to begin researching the Blood Slave Curse.

He planned to try it out in three days. If it didn't work, he would immediately go to the royal city. At Li Wei's current pace, if he traveled at full speed, it would only take him less than two days to reach the Emerald Royal City.

Therefore, allowing four days is still plenty of time.

Meanwhile, on Sir Anderson's side, he received a message from a vampire friend who had been asleep for a long time, and left Flower City to visit his old friend.

For a being of his long lifespan, every friend living in this world is worth cherishing.

Inside the castle, Li Wei began chanting the incantation for the Blood Slave Curse.

The Blood Slave Curse requires a corresponding target, which is the person to be enslaved by the vampires.

Livy found a prisoner to be his experimental subject.

He figured that since his proficiency panel could ignore the curse of the knight's bloodline and the bloodline restrictions of extraordinary families, he might also be able to ignore the bloodline restrictions of the vampires.

Of course, this is just Li Wei's guess.

After all, the bloodline restrictions of vampires are on a completely different level from the previous two types.

The first two, no matter what, are both within the human race, and their bloodlines are not that different.

However, vampires are completely different from humans.

Therefore, Li Wei was not sure whether he could master the Blood Slave Curse.

After Li Wei finished reciting the Blood Slave Curse.

The prisoner did not react.

There was also no indication that the Blood Slave Curse described by Sir Anderson to Levy had been successfully cast.

"Is that not allowed?"

Li Wei murmured to himself.

He tried many times.

None of these attempts succeeded, which essentially means that Li Wei is unable to master the magic of the vampires.

Come to think of it, vampires and humans are completely different races. No matter how amazing your proficiency stat is, you probably can't overcome racial limitations and learn vampire magic.

The Blood Slave Curse is essentially a spell-like ability of vampires, an extraordinary creature. It is an innate supernatural ability, a divine power.

Although he knew he might fail, Li Wei did not give up. He continued to experiment with the Blood Slave Curse again and again, but from beginning to end, the prisoner did not feel any sense of being under his control.

And so, the experiment continued into the second day, and Li Wei's Blood Slave Curse still hadn't succeeded.

This left Li Wei feeling quite helpless.

"If all else fails, just sell the territory to the kingdom, get a good price upfront, and then leave it alone."

Unless absolutely necessary, Li Wei didn't want to sell Tulip Territory and Storm Territory, as the money from selling these two territories at once would certainly be far less than the profits from long-term management.

Li Wei cleared his mind of all distractions and pondered carefully whether there were any other solutions.

Night fell, and all was quiet.

Li Wei gazed at the full moon in the night sky.

He planned to try again tonight on the night of the full moon. Many vampires were associated with the night of the full moon; it might not work at other times, but it might work on the night of the full moon.

The prisoner, who had been tortured by Li Wei all day and hadn't slept, stared at his dark circles as he remained bound there.

"Just kill me, and stop nagging me. You're driving me crazy," the prisoner said.

Li Wei has been muttering supernatural and ghostly things in his ear since yesterday, and he really can't stand it anymore.

Li Wei ignored him.

After he finished reciting the incantation on the night of the full moon.

Suddenly he felt a warmth in his heart.

A surge of heat began to spread through my heart.

To his surprise, the Blood Beast Seed, which resembled a crimson mist, above his heart reacted under the full moon, accompanying his chanting of incantations.

"What's going on?"

Li Wei continued reciting.

The blood beast seed throbbed, and wisps of black energy flowed out from within it.

However, in Li Wei's view, this black mist could no longer be called "black mist".

Because these auras were shockingly blood-red...

At the same time, the blood energy flowed through Li Wei's limbs and bones, and as Li Wei chanted, blood vessels appeared in his pupils.

In his vision, the hazy full moon in the sky seemed to have turned blood red.

He could vaguely see a river of blood flowing over the full moon, the blood surging and thick, with some creatures swimming in it.

The ferocious-looking vampires, all sorts of blood-red creatures, and as the blood rivers flowed continuously, all the blood rivers converged on a vast blood lake in the center of the full moon.

Within the blood lake, Li Wei saw a swirling, ever-changing crimson mist, as if it were alive.

Many native vampires prostrated themselves in worship around this crimson mist.

The shape of this crimson mist was so similar to the blood beast seed within his own body!

The way these vampires worshipped the beasts was similar to how the little figures on the Blood Beast Breathing Technique inheritance diagram worshipped the blood beasts.

"The Blood Beast... is it related to the Will of the Blood River?"

Li Wei was deeply shocked at that moment.

According to the Frankenstein wizard's notes, the blood river on the moon that Livy just saw should be the will of the blood river.

It was this river of blood that gave birth to the vampires.

Within the River of Blood, Li Wei saw the humanoid native vampires described in the notes, as well as other types of vampires that were even more powerful than those native vampires.

And within the central Blood Lake, that scattered, uncertain crimson mist is none other than the Blood Beast described in the Blood Earl's ancestral breathing technique inheritance diagram!

Li Wei discovered that he seemed to have inadvertently glimpsed a glimpse of the truth behind the Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram.

"The Blood Beasts are not creatures of this world, but powerful beings from the plane where the Blood River Will resides..."

Li Wei felt a chill run down his spine upon closer examination.

This seemingly simple Knight Breathing Technique is actually connected to powerful beings from multiple dimensions.

The path of the knight is truly treacherous.

No wonder the knights were able to walk on the earth so early, no wonder the Church of Holy Light has a legend that the remains of a saint created the Seven Knights of Heaven.

The knight is indeed no ordinary person!

After Li Wei finished reciting the incantation.

A strange power surged into Li Wei's body, or more precisely, into the Blood Beast Seed within him.

Then, a phantom blood-red chain began to extend from behind Li Wei, piercing straight into the prisoner's chest and tightly binding his heart.

A mysterious connection began to form between Li Wei and the prisoner. Li Wei discovered that he seemed to be able to control the prisoner's every move.

"Raise your head," Li Wei said.

The prisoner raised his head, and Li Wei lifted the prisoner's chest, revealing the location of the prisoner's heart.

A cloud of crimson mist slowly emerged, condensing into a crimson mist mark.

This is a blood beast!

At the same time, a notification appeared on the proficiency panel.

Li Wei quickly opened it.
