Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 168 Golden Horned Beast, Golden Spine, Fourth-Order Meditation! (1st Update! Long Chapter, Please Subscribe)

On the sea.

Levi, panting heavily, paused for a moment before saying, "Thanks, Joelman. You don't mind if I take this man's things, do you?"

Jorman shook his head.

Li Wei put the second-circle wizard's broken remains into his storage bag, and then picked up the wizard's storage items, as well as the strange little flags and plates scattered on the sea.

He discovered that these seemingly inconspicuous flags and plates were covered with all sorts of magical runes that he couldn't understand at all.

"Could this be... something used for magic arrays?" Li Wei wasn't sure either. He had never seen this thing before. The only magic array he had ever seen was the one at the Gray Tower, but that magic array was a large-scale magic array specially made for wizard organizations, and it was definitely different from this kind of magic array.

Regardless of what they were, Li Wei collected them all and put them in his storage bag. Then, he rode the Dragon King Whale and returned to the Gray Tower with Yoman.

By this time, Teacher Mylin had returned. The battle on the Tower Master's side was over, and as a third-ring powerhouse, it was only a matter of time before he dealt with the three second-ring dark wizards.

Mylene felt guilty because she hadn't caught that damned, lost sorcerer and let him escape.

"It's alright, Mylene. That person is a magic array wizard after all. He's proficient in magic arrays, so it's quite difficult to kill him. Even I was trapped by his magic array for quite a while," the tower master comforted Mylene, who looked a little depressed.

"Sigh, if we kill this second-circle dark wizard, we can apply for more bounty from the Tower of Stars after the sea monster tide has passed."

Although the Grey Tower suffered few casualties during this sea monster tide, its reserves of Taishi were nearly depleted due to the costly activation of the large-scale magic array—a fatal blow for any wizarding organization. The tower's daily expenses all require Taishi, and with the official shop in the nearby wizarding market also closed due to the tide, the Grey Tower lost its source of income. The Taishi earned solely from apprentices was clearly insufficient.

"It's alright. Harland alone is worth 20,000 Taishi at the Tower of Stars. Add to that the three second-ring wizards, and that's a bounty of 50,000 Taishi. Moreover, these people also have quite a few Taishi in their storage bags. I've roughly calculated that these Taishi are enough to make up for our losses over this period of time."

Harland knows how to offer help in times of need, providing warmth to the Gray Tower at the most crucial moment.

Fortunately, the Tower Master had anticipated this. He had long been familiar with Harland's old rival's tactics, so he did not reveal that he was directly advancing to the third ring. Otherwise, given Harland's personality, he definitely wouldn't have come if he hadn't reached the third ring.

Finally, Levi and Joelman returned to the tower. Levi went to the White Tower and placed the second-circle wizard's mangled corpse and storage bag in front of Merlin and the tower master.

"This is Pinoz...you killed him?" Mylene exclaimed, clearly incredulous.

Li Wei shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I've been tracking this person and know where he's hiding. I cooperated with Yoman to kill him. How could I possibly kill a second-ring wizard? I just launched a sneak attack."

Mylene finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was unbelievable that Levi could kill a second-circle wizard by himself, especially one who was proficient in magic arrays!

Li Wei had initially intended to secretly keep the man's storage bag for himself, but upon discovering that he couldn't break the magical seal on it, he decided to hand it over to the organization. Furthermore, Li Wei worried that the Tower Master and the others might have some contact with Yoman, and could learn from Yoman that he was secretly keeping the spoils of a second-circle wizard. That wouldn't be good; it would erode the most basic trust between people.

Li Wei believed that the Tower would handle the spoils fairly, and he trusted the character of Teacher Merlin and the Tower Master, so after careful consideration, he chose to do so.

"Another second-ring dark wizard's head. I should be able to exchange it for 10,000 gold at the Tower of Stars," Mylene said.

The Tower Master pondered for a moment, then said with a grave expression, "Forget about Pinoz. Don't spread the news of Pinoz's death; just keep it a secret among a few of us. Pinoz is different from others; he was a magic array wizard, and the Tower of Stars has always been a key focus of their attention because they covet his magic array inheritance. Such a precious thing cannot be handed over to the Tower of Stars. It is priceless and should be kept by our organization."

"Li Wei, this man was killed by you and Johrman together, so your contribution is significant and you'll naturally receive a share. If this man's storage bag contains the legacy of a magic array wizard, you can learn it anytime in the tower if you wish, as long as you sign a confidentiality agreement and don't pass it on to others."

"That's what the tower master said."

"Thank you, Tower Master," Li Wei said.

Unexpectedly, this person was indeed a legendary rare magic array wizard. After witnessing the power of magic arrays, Li Wei had indeed become obsessed with them. Now that he had the opportunity to learn about magic arrays, he naturally would not refuse.

To be honest, if it weren't for Joelman, Levi would never have dared to kill a second-circle wizard. It was precisely because of Joelman's direct restraint that Levi had the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The tower master immediately opened Pinoz's storage bag. Li Wei estimated that there were tens of thousands of Tai Stones inside. No wonder he was a second-ring magic array wizard, he was really rich.

Then came various sets of magical arrays of different shapes and sizes, which formed the core of the arrays. Li Wei also gave the array flags of the second-ring Shark Dance array he obtained to the tower master. He was too far from reaching the second ring, and it was better to use them to enhance the strength of the tower than to let them gather dust on his own.

Finally, the tower master found a book that looked rather ancient. The book was very thick and its material was unknown. The cover featured a strange triangle with a blood-red single eye.

The Book of Cypher.

The tower master glanced at it and then handed it to Mylene and Levi for a look.

Li Wei took the book, and the blood-red single eye suddenly opened, its eyes filled with bloodshot veins, staring at Li Wei.

Li Wei ignored the one-eyed man; these were just the wicked hobbies and tricks of some wizards, and didn't mean anything.

He glanced at it briefly, and sure enough, it was a book that recorded the inheritance of magic arrays. The value of this book was immeasurable and could not be measured in taels of silver.

However, after reading it, he discovered that the book seemed incomplete. The Tower Master seemed to notice Li Wei's confusion and said, "Clearly, Pinoz only received a part of the inheritance from this array master named Cypher. I looked at it, and it seems to contain only basic knowledge of array formations and low-level arrays of the first and second rings. Without the knowledge of the third ring or above, it won't be of much help to me. However, if you, Mylene and Li Wei, have time, you can study it. If you learn the second ring arrays, with prior preparation, you will be virtually invincible among those of the same level."

Both Mai Lin and Li Wei nodded, and the tower master continued.

"This knowledge of magic arrays also involves a lot of alchemy, artifact crafting, and ancient magical runes. If Li Wei wants to learn about magic arrays, it would be best to come here to brush up on your alchemy knowledge," the tower master said.

"Alright, Tower Master, my focus for now is on advancing to a formal wizard. I can learn about magic arrays and alchemy after I break through," Li Wei said.

"Don't forget about the medicine, little Levi," Mylene reminded him helplessly.

"Of course not. Potions are my main specialty. I only need to dabble in the others. That way, I can deal with magic array wizards more easily in the future," Li Wei said.

"That makes sense," the tower master said.

In the end, the tower master took out a thousand Tai stones as a reward for Li Wei, and Li Wei, unable to refuse, accepted them generously.

Li Wei left the White Tower and let the Tower Master and Teacher Mai Lin slowly count the other spoils of war. Apart from the lost evil sorcerer, he had not made any contribution in this battle, so he was not qualified to participate in the distribution. Being able to obtain the magic array inheritance was already an unexpected joy.

"Third-ring wizards are really too powerful, they are not even on the same level as second-ring wizards. If a first-ring wizard has a reasonable combination of spells, enough trump cards, and good equipment, it is possible for a second-ring wizard to compete with a third-ring wizard. It is almost impossible for a second-ring wizard to challenge a third-ring wizard."

"So the first and second rings are just low-level wizards, and the third ring and above are mid-level wizards. In the entire Star Sea, they are already figures of considerable stature."

Li Wei never expected that the Tower Master could defeat so many enemies all by himself. This made him even more eager to advance to become a formal wizard.

The battle with these dark wizards allowed Herman, a powerful third-circle wizard, to make a stunning appearance. The wizarding apprentices, who had been kept in the dark, all showed happy smiles, and the worries that had been hanging over them were finally put to rest.

With such a powerful tower master presiding over the Gray Tower, its strength and status in this sea area will skyrocket, directly becoming equal to Whale Song Island.

Aside from having a weaker foundation and fewer formal wizards than Whale Song Island, the Grey Tower can be considered a third-ring wizarding organization in other respects.

In the year 1025 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, during the Wheat Field Month.

An even more significant piece of news spread throughout this sea area.

A month ago, a sea lord, the Deep Sea Baron, led four powerful sea generals, along with thousands of sea creatures and numerous sea beasts, to suddenly appear and launch a lightning attack on Whale Song Island!

The sea lord displayed extremely powerful strength, shattering the defensive array of Whale Song Island with a single punch. After that, the sea race and Whale Song Island engaged in a bloody battle.

In this battle, the Sea Clan's strength almost unilaterally overwhelmed Whale Song Island. With the cooperation of four generals, the Deep Sea Baron killed Angus, a second-circle wizard and apothecary on Whale Song Island, and severely injured the third-circle wizard Morpheus. Most of Whale Song Island's official wizards and apprentices were also killed or wounded. Just as the Sea Clan was about to completely conquer Whale Song Island, a mysterious fifth-circle wizard descended upon the island using a teleportation scroll, saving Morpheus at the last moment. Then, with a single fifth-circle spell, he annihilated most of the Sea Clan. However, the Deep Sea Baron was indeed extraordinary; he and the two surviving Sea Clan generals managed to escape severely wounded right under the fifth-circle wizard's nose.

After this battle, Whale Song Island, which had almost been wiped out, suffered a significant drop in strength. Only five official wizards remained, only one deputy island lord remained as a second-ring wizard, and the third-ring wizard Morpheus was seriously injured and went into seclusion. The entire Whale Song Island faced an unprecedented crisis.

Meanwhile, after the Deep Sea Baron was seriously injured and fled, the tidal wave of sea monsters in this area began to gradually subside.

After that, the sea monster horde's attacks became less and less powerful, and finally, in the month of the North Wind in 1025, the sea monster tide never came again.

This basically marks the end of the marine mammal tide in this area, but looking across the endless sea, some areas are still being impacted by the marine mammal tide.

Overall, however, the peak of the marine mammal tide has largely passed, and what follows is a process of gradual decline.

All of this was within the scope of the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council's expectations.

The year 1026 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Moon.

The messenger from the Tower of Stars brought good news once again:

After nearly two years of arduous resistance, the war between wizards and sea monsters has come to an end. The courage and perseverance displayed by the wizards were truly admirable, and the wizards emerged victorious once again! They have once again proven with their power that they are the true masters of this sea! Good will never prevail over evil; all evil will ultimately be defeated!

Before long, the Azure Ship flights between the Endless Sea resumed operation, and the wizards who had survived the ordeal cheered with joy at their victory.

The Black Sails Wizarding Market slowly resumed operations, and its former bustle gradually returned. However, on the enforcement side, the head of the enforcement council was no longer Whale Song Island, but a wizard from the Dark Caverns. Whale Song Island announced the closure of its stores in the market and withdrew from the enforcement management of the Black Sails Wizarding Market, thus seemingly closing itself off from the world and ceasing all contact with other wizarding organizations.

In contrast to the desolation of Whale Song Island, the Gray Tower flourished. After the sea monster tide, the Gray Tower officially applied to the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council and became an officially certified third-ring wizarding organization, thus enjoying the benefits of a third-ring wizarding organization.

The Tower of Stars also transferred the bounty for the Tower Master's killing of those dark wizards to the Gray Tower, totaling a whopping 60,000 Talcos. As leaders of a second-ring dark wizard organization, these people's heads were extremely valuable.

With these Tai Stones, the Tower Master can further enhance and modify his alchemical body to improve his strength, and also solve the urgent problem of the gray-white Tower with its empty treasury.

The Gray Tower, after two years of beast tides, has not declined but instead feels more prosperous.

After all, compared to other organizations, the Gray Tower suffered the least losses. In this sea monster tide, Whale Song Island suffered the most, betraying humanity and then being betrayed by the sea creatures, nearly being wiped out. On the other hand, with the Tower Master now at the Third Ring, everyone in the Gray Tower has regained their confidence and standing tall. In this sea area, the Third Ring possesses a nuclear-weapon-like deterrent power.

Moreover, with the deadly ship eliminated, travel will be much safer in the future.

Later in the course of this beast tide, an outstanding high-level wizard apprentice in the tower also successfully advanced to become a full-fledged wizard.

This person is... Winnie.

This blonde girl, who is averse to all three elements, has a cheerful personality, and grew up in the Wizard Tower, successfully broke through to become a formal wizard and moved into the White Tower, making all the wizard apprentices envious.

Winnie's talent for being compatible with all three elements already puts her far ahead of most wizarding apprentices. In addition, she is favored by Granny McDormand and receives special care. After a long period of accumulation, it is only natural that she will advance to become a full-fledged wizard.

Now, including Winnie, the Grey Tower has a legendary knight, three first-circle wizards, one second-circle wizard, and one third-circle wizard. The Grey Tower is stronger than ever before!

With this shift in power, Whale Song Island, once the dominant power in this sea area, now faces a formidable competitor: the Gray Tower of the Three Rings Organization. The situation in this region has changed from one superpower and several strong contenders to a balance of power between two equally powerful forces!

In this favorable situation, Li Wei devoted himself to cultivation, preparing to advance to become a formal wizard.

The ninth floor of the gray tower houses the medicine-making room.

Li Wei bathed and changed his clothes, calmed his mind, and prepared to begin making a particularly important potion.

That was the first-level potion he had been longing for: Naga's Blessing!

In the later stages of the beast tide, with the tower master guarding the area, Li Wei basically didn't have to worry about the sea beasts, so he went all out to cultivate meditation techniques.

Ultimately, he successfully cultivated the Earth Meditation Technique to the third level limit.

Li Wei————

Earth Meditation Method: Level 3 (Limit, Limits Can Be Broken)

……

Also in the later stages of the beast tide, after the crisis at the Gray Tower was resolved, Li Wei took advantage of the last opportunity to search the sea every day aboard the Dragon King Whale. He eventually found a Gray Naga colony. After dealing with a family of five in the colony, Li Wei collected a total of five Gray Naga Tears.

The Tear of the Gray Naga is not actually the tear of the Gray Naga, but rather a blood-red, rhomboid crystal that appears on the chest of this extraordinary creature.

This rhombus-shaped crystal is also the primary attack method of the Grey Naga, from which a beam of light can be fired that stuns enemies.

One Gray Naga Tear can be used to craft one Naga Blessing, so Li Wei has five chances. If Li Wei can successfully craft one Gray Naga Blessing with these five chances, he will not lose out, and he will have a more than 90% chance of advancing to a formal wizard.

The Blessing of the Grey Naga only works the first time it is taken, so if Li Wei can successfully refine it twice, he will make a profit. One "Blessing of the Grey Naga" is worth four thousand taels even if sold to the tower at a low price. If he takes it to the market, it may be worth five thousand or even six thousand taels. If he encounters a wealthy person who urgently needs it, it may be worth even more.

After all, the cost of these materials alone adds up to two thousand taels.

It can be said that the Tear of the Gray Naga is the most valuable potion. This kind of potion used for breakthroughs in realms is undoubtedly valuable and has no shortage of buyers, since there are too many advanced wizard apprentices stuck at the advanced wizard stage.

During this time, in order to refine the Blessing of the Naga, Li Wei constantly practiced with other first-level potions. After consuming a lot of resources, he is now confident in refining the Blessing of the Naga.

"I don't ask for much, just one success is enough."

Li Wei calmed down and began to concoct the potion.

He dried the fog lamp grass, ground it into powder, crushed the beak of the harbinger bird, ground it into powder, and then added the other medicinal materials, proceeding methodically according to the steps and process of the formula.

As a pot of blue liquid boiled in the crucible, Li Wei quickly added Mist Lamp Grass and chanted an incantation. The potion turned green. Li Wei then added the Beak of the Annunciation, and the potion turned black. Finally, Li Wei tossed in the blood-red Tear of the Gray Naga, silently reciting the final incantation for the potion.

"Abamadeto..."

With a loud bang, the crucible exploded, and the medicine splashed everywhere.

The water shield spell on Li Wei's flying fish robe was activated, blocking the scalding potions.

[Pharmacology Proficiency +236]

Li Wei's eye twitched.

Two thousand taels of silver are gone...

"continue."

Then he changed to a new set of medicine-making utensils, regained his composure, and continued the refining process.

boom.

The newly installed crucible cracked again.

[Pharmacology Proficiency +222]

It exploded again the second time.

"I'm tired. I'll refine it again tomorrow. It's just a loss of four thousand taels of gold today... Failure is the mother of success!"

The next day.

Li Wei took a deep breath, his expression calm and composed, and continued refining.

The third time, accompanied by the chanting of the incantation for preparing the medicine.

Inside the crucible, the originally black potion turned into a viscous, blood-like liquid after the crimson Naga Tears were added, emitting a faint fishy smell, as if it were a pot of boiling blood.

Not long after, the potion was absorbed into the Gray Naga Tears and miraculously disappeared.

Finally, at the bottom of the crucible, a bewitching and beautiful crimson sphere rested there, emitting an eerie aura that made one irresistibly want to swallow it.

[Pharmacology Proficiency +450]

"We succeeded, so we're not losing money now."

"If we succeed again, we'll have made a profit."

Li Wei sealed the potion in a pre-prepared bottle to prevent its effects from evaporating.

He then continued refining.

The fourth time, it was successfully refined!

Another [Naga's Blessing] has been created.

Li Weixin was delighted.

"I made a profit."

On the third day, Li Wei continued refining.

And then it worked again.

"They've made a fortune."

"If these two doses of the potion were released to the outside world, countless large organizations would be scrambling for them. Even the Third Ring Wizarding Organization would be fighting over them."

Although the Blessing of the Naga is so expensive that wizard apprentices certainly cannot afford it, formal wizards or second- or third-circle wizards usually prepare such a potion for their beloved disciples or offspring so that they can successfully advance to the wizarding ranks.

In fact, many wizarding organizations in the Endless Sea are primarily composed of wizarding families. The elders of these families, for the sake of their descendants, would stockpile potions like the Blessing of the Naga. Winnie's parents were once high-ranking wizard apprentices in the Gray Tower, but later retired to the sidelines. Therefore, Winnie's life has been smooth sailing since childhood, and her successful advancement to wizardhood is undoubtedly inseparable from her parents' support.

After all, the probability of offspring with wizarding talents is higher when wizards mate, so over time, wizarding families of all sizes have formed. Especially within behemoth wizarding organizations like the Tower of Stars, there are all sorts of large wizarding families. Although the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council has tried to weaken these family attributes to avoid problems of corruption and decadence, the results have been minimal.

Ultimately, after obtaining three doses of Naga Blessing Potion, Li Wei kept two for himself to sell. Whether he would sell them to the organization or to outsiders would depend on the circumstances.

Furthermore, Li Wei has extra Fog Lamp Grass and Annunciation Beaks, so if he obtains more Gray Naga Tears in the future, he can continue to refine them. Having already succeeded three times, Li Wei's success rate in refining them will only increase in the future.

After finishing the potion, Levi placed his hand on the Klein crystal.

Mental Power: 20

Magic Power: 145

Now everything is ready, and the medicine is prepared.

Li Wei only needs to hone his magical power to the peak of 200 points, and then choose a first-level spell model to build, and he can try to break through to become a formal wizard.

There's no need to worry about magical power; Li Wei can naturally refine green potions to replenish it.

Li Wei had already planned out the spell model for the next level of advancement.

First-level passive spell - Body of Rock, an advanced spell of Stone Skin.

In fact, Stone Skin is essentially a simplified version of Body of Rock. Stone Skin only strengthens Li Wei's skin defense, while Body of Rock penetrates deep into his flesh and bones, enhancing his defense from the inside out. Therefore, Li Wei felt that constructing this first-level spell model shouldn't be difficult for him.

……

The year 1026 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

After learning that Emperor Mu was still alive, Li Wei and Emperor Mu's third team-building activity was successfully completed. In the final routine sparring match, Emperor Mu, who had become much stronger, was still defeated by Li Wei.

The current Emperor Mu, when fighting, is covered in golden light, as if he has practiced the legendary "Invincible Vajra Divine Skill". He looks majestic and extraordinary, with a kind of sacred and grand aura.

Li Wei felt the time was right, so he asked Emperor Mu what kind of breathing technique it was. Emperor Mu told Li Wei that it was the breathing technique of the Golden Knight, called the "Golden Horn Breathing Technique." In mythology, there is a giant beast that travels through the star realm, called the "Golden Horn." It can bathe in the sun, traverse the void, and has unparalleled defensive power. It has a golden horn on its forehead, and it is said that this golden horn contains the power to destroy an entire realm.

Therefore, Li Wei presented a breathing technique that Emperor Mu would definitely be interested in: the Crimson Lotus Breathing Technique. He used the Crimson Lotus Breathing Technique to exchange for Emperor Mu's Golden Horn Breathing Technique.

Mu Di was naturally happy to exchange breathing techniques. The Crimson Lotus Breathing Technique was a top-tier power-type breathing technique, on par with his family's Sacred Ape Breathing Technique, and he had long wanted to learn from it. However, back in the mortal realm, he couldn't find the Crimson Lotus Breathing Technique and had to give up. He hadn't expected that Li Wei would actually possess it. As legendary knights, exchanging knowledge and growing together was Mu Di's original intention in joining the Twilight Knights.

Although Emperor Mu lacked the Crimson Lotus bloodline and couldn't cultivate, at the level of legendary knights like them, simply observing and learning the routines of other breathing techniques might inspire their own cultivation. Even if it only provided the slightest help in breaking through the legendary barrier, they wouldn't give up.

Moreover, Emperor Mu actually knew that bloodlines, to put it bluntly, could be transplanted later in life; they weren't as mysterious as they seemed. It was just that wizards who had mastered bloodline transplantation techniques looked down on ordinary breathing techniques. After all, practicing breathing techniques was more time-consuming than many spells, and the benefits were completely disproportionate to the final gains. Even if one spent decades practicing breathing techniques to the limit and became a legendary knight, one would only be at the level of a first-ring wizard. With that time, one could cultivate the path of wizardry and achieve far greater success.

Because of their limited knowledge and perspective, ordinary knights believed that bloodlines were sacred, noble, and unchangeable. Changing bloodlines was taboo and a violation of their ancestors, so they would never think of transplanting bloodlines to practice other breathing techniques.

However, Mudi was different from ordinary knights. He was a legendary knight and had received a wizard's education, so he wasn't so ignorant. His Golden Horn Breathing Technique's [Golden Bloodline] was actually acquired later in life. During the great Age of Exploration, at the treasure of the Golden Knight Grek, he encountered a golden, centipede-like monster. It looked like a human spine, but this monster could move, possessed many sharp, indestructible spines, and could burrow into anything, seemingly having a parasitic instinct. Mudi was attacked by this "golden spine," which resembled Grek's. Without warning, the spine burrowed into Mudi's body, devouring and replacing his original spine. Mudi was helpless against this and gradually accepted this reality. He came to the wizarding world hoping to use wizarding knowledge to understand what this golden spine was and whether it would have any side effects on him.

Regardless, Mu Di obtained the golden bloodline and was able to cultivate the Golden Horn Breathing Technique. This had always been a secret Mu Di kept deep in his heart. He had a feeling that this "golden spine" was extraordinary and would become an important reliance for him to break through the shackles of legend in the future. He even suspected that this "golden spine" was the source of the Greck family's golden bloodline, and that this monster was the one who created the "Golden Family"!

During a previous team-building activity, Mu Di learned from Li Wei that the bloodline transplantation technique existed within the Life School. Therefore, he felt that if he could find a transcendent creature containing the [Crimson Lotus Bloodline], and then use the bloodline transplantation technique to obtain a trace of that bloodline, he might be able to cultivate the Crimson Lotus Breathing Technique and further enhance his knightly strength.

So Li Wei took this opportunity to reach a preliminary consensus with Emperor Mu, that is, in the future, if everyone has different breathing methods, they can exchange them.

Unlike Emperor Mu, these so-called bloodline limitations are completely irrelevant to Li Wei. Furthermore, Li Wei can continuously break through the limits of his breathing techniques using his skill panel, fusing different bloodline breathing techniques to create even more powerful variations. Emperor Mu, even with the Crimson Lotus bloodline, can cultivate the Crimson Lotus Breathing Technique to its legendary limit, but breaking through that limit is extremely difficult. It can only be said that for an ordinary legendary figure like Emperor Mu, having another bloodline means gaining another path to legendary status and increasing his strength. However, without a clearly defined and effective path to guide him, and without a skill panel like Li Wei's that allows for continuous limit-breaking, his chances of truly breaking through the legendary shackles are essentially slim.

In Li Wei's view, ordinary legendary knights like Mudi or Anderson who want to break through the shackles of legend must first explore their own path, let others walk behind them, and follow in their footsteps. In other words, their own realm is the upper limit of a legendary knight!

As for Emperor Mu's other ancestral Sacred Ape Breathing Technique, Li Wei learned from Emperor Mu that it also strengthens the arms, overlapping with his own Giant Breathing Technique. Therefore, he wasn't as eager for the Sacred Ape Breathing Technique. However, if the opportunity arose, and Li Wei's relationship with Emperor Mu deepened, he could exchange his current breathing techniques of the same quality with Emperor Mu. He wanted to try and see what kind of monster would be created by fusing the Giant Breathing Technique and the Sacred Ape Breathing Technique, perhaps something like an "Ape Giant Breathing Technique"?

After obtaining the Golden Breathing Technique, Li Wei began preparing the Golden Horned Beast's secret medicine, which went much as he had anticipated. Like the Crimson Lotus Beast, the Golden Horned Beast was also a type of dragon, so its secret medicine also involved dragons.

The most crucial ingredient in the Golden Horn Elixir is "Dragon Horn Powder," which can be used on the horns of any creature that is a hybrid of dragons and contains dragon blood.

Thinking of this, Li Wei couldn't help but think of... Leviathan.

Good heavens, a dragon hybrid with dragon horns.

This guy has everything! If you don't fleece Leviathan, who else should you fleece?

Leviathan is a natural-born candidate for the secret medicine!

Blood, ambergris, even the beautiful unicorn horn used for courtship—these are all treasures! Since subduing Leviathan, Levi no longer has to worry about the secret medicine; he can find it all on Leviathan anyway… Levi has to objectively admit that his current achievements are firstly due to Panel Guy, secondly due to his own hard work, and thirdly due to Leviathan's support!

And so, the unfortunate Leviathan was once again used as a medicinal ingredient by Levi. Every so often, Levi would scrape some powder off Leviathan's horn. Levi was only scraping off a little powder periodically with his trident; it wouldn't cause any damage to Leviathan's horn, after all, he wasn't some great villain.

And so, while building the spell model, he practiced breathing techniques, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

The year 1026 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of wheat fields.

Li Wei successfully trained the Golden Horn Breathing Technique to the eighth level, giving birth to extraordinary defense. Once this breathing technique reaches the legendary level, Li Wei can fuse and mutate the Golden Horn Breathing Technique and the Black Serpent Breathing Technique to create a new breathing technique that can be cultivated to the twelfth level limit.

During the harvest month, Li Wei finally completed the spell model of the first-circle spell, Body of Rock, in his mind. His spell power, through his persistent drug use and honing, reached the limit of 200 points, keeping pace with his mental power.

"Mental Strength: 20"

"Spell Power: 200"

Now, Levi has completed all the preparations for advancing to a formal wizard. He told Teacher Mylin about his plan to advance, and Mylin said that with her there, no one would be allowed to disturb Levi's seclusion.

After adjusting himself to his peak condition, Li Wei put the fragrant pill into his mouth in the cultivation room. The pill melted instantly in his mouth, turning into streams of strange energy that flowed into Li Wei's mind.

He could faintly hear the beautiful singing of the Grey Naga echoing in Li Wei's mind, calming his restless and agitated spirit.

Li Wei entered a state of selflessness and detachment, like an old Buddhist monk sitting in meditation. In his mind, above the ocean of consciousness that carried spiritual power, an even more vast spiritual power surged into Li Wei's mind from the boundless void. Li Wei felt as if his whole being had been sublimated, with a feeling of "out-of-body experience".

Of course, he knew these were all his illusions. In wizarding theory, spiritual power and soul are different concepts. The soul is similar to a person's true spirit, a unique imprint of that person. If the soul is severely damaged, a person is basically doomed to die. Even if they don't die, their unique "life traits" will be altered. In the theory of the Death School, physical death is not true death; only the dissipation of the soul, that is, "soul scattered," is true death. Therefore, some wizards of the Death School dedicate themselves to researching a technique to place a person's soul in a "soul box." Through this method, short-lived humans can transform into a long-lived, extraordinary being: a "lich."

Spiritual power, on the other hand, is a metaphysical force. It is not the same as the soul. Severe damage to spiritual power can be recovered through medicine or rest. Even if the soul is no longer in the body, spiritual power still exists within the physical body. Therefore, after the Holy Armor Scorpions devoured souls, spiritual power still remained within the bodies of the undead. This is why the undead can continue to cast spells. However, the source of spiritual power for the undead is no longer meditation, but the core of the dead.

It is said that upon reaching the advanced wizard stage, one's spiritual power and soul merge into one, becoming a unified entity, hence the term "Primal Soul." The Primal Soul is the core of an advanced wizard, enabling incredible feats such as separation from the body, casting spells with the Primal Soul, and elementalization. As long as the Primal Soul is immortal, the wizard is indestructible. A wizard can protect their physical body within a wizarding tower, while their Primal Soul travels freely beyond the heavens. Some with extremely powerful Primal Souls can even travel through multiple dimensions. Of course, Li Wei's current spiritual power is far from reaching the Primal Soul stage.

As time passed, Li Wei's mental energy grew increasingly abundant until a certain critical point. It was as if a valve had been opened, and a powerful, mysterious force surged into Li Wei's mind and body. This force made Li Wei feel lightheaded. He opened his eyes, his consciousness clearer than ever before. The magic tricks in his mind were now incredibly clear and simple to him. With his current level of mental energy, learning or performing these tricks was a piece of cake.

At this moment, Li Wei advanced to the first-ring wizard realm, and his mental power underwent a qualitative change. From then on, for a first-ring wizard, there was no longer any limitation on the so-called magic spell slots. As long as Li Wei wanted to, as long as his mind could hold it, and as long as he had time, he could learn any magic trick.

He opened the proficiency panel, and sure enough, the section for Earth Meditation had changed.
