Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 172 Devouring the Seas and Uprooting Mountains! Third Form: Giant Whale Form! (Long Chapter, Please Subscribe)

Li Weixiu finally mastered the Black Whale Breathing Technique to its ultimate level!

On Li Wei's incredibly broad back, which seemed capable of bearing all things in the world, the full muscle lines were beautiful and elegant, with crisscrossing grooves that made it look like the back of a devil!

The solidified whale back gave Li Wei a significant boost in strength, but what truly showcased the power of the Black Whale Breathing Technique was its second special effect, which was born after the Legendary version.

[Devour: Ingest a massive amount of energy in a short period, accelerating blood circulation. The energy gathers within your body, causing your physique to rapidly expand. Your strength will increase with your size, but your speed and agility will decrease. This effect cannot be upgraded, but its effectiveness will slightly improve as your breathing technique level increases.]

Seeing this special effect, Li Wei immediately began to channel the food energy he had stored in the Blood Whale's Pouch and Camel's Hump—enough for him to use normally for a year—into his body.

As these energies flowed into his body, Li Wei's physique began to visibly increase. His blood seemed to boil, and wisps of energy surged into his limbs and bones. Li Wei was like a rubber man filled with air, expanding from his normal height of about 2.5 meters.

2.7 meters, 3 meters, 4 meters, 4.5 meters, 4.7 meters... 5 meters!

After Li Wei reached a height of five meters, the energy in his body was almost exhausted. Moreover, he felt that with his current level, reaching a height of five meters was his limit. If he continued to expand, his legendary knight body might burst.

He looked at his body, which resembled that of an adult rock troll, and couldn't help but feel smug.

"Bigger is stronger!"

Li Wei reached out and clenched his fist, which cracked as he slammed it into the ground.

The effect of his casual punch was like that of the first-circle spell, Wrath of the Mountain Giant. Li Wei himself transformed into an incredibly strong mountain giant. Within a radius of tens of meters, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and rocks were completely annihilated and turned into dust!

The terrifying force seemed to cause Blackfire Island to tremble slightly.

Igor and the Black Flame Bird, who were fast asleep in the cave, thought there had been an earthquake and poked their heads out from their hiding places, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Finally, after seeing that it was Li Wei pounding the ground, the two guys reluctantly returned to their lodgings.

They've gotten used to Li Wei causing trouble on the island every day.

"After transforming into a giant, my strength attribute should be three times that of before. This is even more terrifying than the blessing of the Crimson Lotus Blood. The Crimson Lotus Blood only doubled my strength, but the Crimson Lotus Blood is superior because it provides a comprehensive blessing. On the other hand, the Devouring the Sea technique emphasizes overwhelming all other techniques with sheer force, pouring all the power into the technique and even sacrificing some other attributes in pursuit of power."

In short, because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to kill the enemy, I put all my points into Strength.

Li Wei analyzed the pros and cons of Devouring the Sea and Blood of the Crimson Lotus, and ultimately concluded that both had their advantages and disadvantages. Blood of the Crimson Lotus had a drawback: a period of weakness after the burst of power, which Devouring the Sea did not have.

About three minutes later, Li Wei's body began to shrink like a deflated balloon, and streams of white steam shot out from his pores. Using the recoil from this airflow, Li Wei was propelled forward like a bullet.

boom!

The next moment, Li Wei was shot directly onto the sea surface.

"Damn it, it can be used like this? Luckily, the other world isn't under Newton's jurisdiction." Li Wei thought to himself, speechless.

The speed of that burst was almost comparable to the full-power burst speed of Li Wei's Bloodwing.

By taking the enemy by surprise, you can close the distance using the deflating thrust and take them down in one go by taking advantage of your close-combat skills!

Suddenly, Li Wei's expression changed on the sea surface. A strong feeling of hunger came over him. This hunger reminded him of the gluttonous desire he had after he first practiced the Black Serpent Breathing Technique!

He immediately took out a large pile of dried meat that he had previously roasted with Li Wei's secret seasoning from his storage bag, as well as a large bucket of bread potion, and threw them all into his mouth. After doing this, the energy in his Blood Whale Sac and Camel Hump began to fill up, and that feeling finally dissipated slowly.

Li Wei ate all the food from a storage item before letting out a satisfied burp.

"So, after consuming the ocean, there are some minor side effects, namely an intense craving for food that even a legendary knight cannot endure! This seems to come from the bestial instincts of those extraordinary bloodlines within me! Otherwise, the simple feeling of hunger would not have almost made a legendary knight like me lose control."

Li Wei used to think that those ordinary knights became "knight madmen" purely because of hunger. Now it seems that there is a deeper reason for the knight madmen, which is the extraordinary bloodline itself!

The way of the legendary knight is a path of continuous evolution toward the form of the original progenitor. How to use the knight's will and perseverance to control the beastly nature inherent in this bloodline is perhaps a question that needs to be considered in the future.

The Alchemist Madman becomes numb and inhuman because he loses his humanity, while the Knight Madman becomes bloodthirsty and violent by embracing his bestial nature.

"The path of a knight is long and arduous," Li Wei sighed.

Aside from the second special effect, the legendary organ from which the Black Whale Breathing Technique was born is also quite normal: it's Li Wei's lungs.

After advancing to the Legendary level, Li Wei's chest cavity, originally containing lungs, became even larger, compressing a large space and making his chest fuller.

"The lungs of the black whale, this is the extraordinary organ from which the Black Whale Breathing Technique was born."

Li Wei opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath. Endless breaths flooded into Li Wei's lungs, which seemed to have become a bottomless pit. About half an hour later, Li Wei stopped inhaling. His physique looked no different from before, but his body was much heavier than before. This was because he had inhaled a lot of breath and stored it in his Black Whale Lungs, so much so that the breath had become an extremely heavy liquid.

"By taking a breath, I can almost be like Leviathan, not needing to breathe on the surface for three days and three nights. I can sleep in the sea. With the lungs of the Black Whale, I'm almost half a sea creature. Fighting in the seawater is much easier. This is an extremely useful supernatural organ for an environment like the Endless Sea. In the future, if I encounter the so-called sea beast tide, I can just blend into the mouth of the Dragon King Whale and go wherever I want."

Moreover, Li Wei felt that the black whale's lungs had more than just this function; there must be other wonderful uses, but he hadn't yet discovered them.

Li Wei surfaced, patted Leviathan's head, and then calmly took out the Neptune Trident and began sharpening Leviathan's horns.

Just as Leviathan's horn, which had finally grown a little thicker, was ground down again by Levi, Levi patted Leviathan and said, "Go play. Sharpening your horn more will help promote your blood circulation and prolong your life. I'm doing this for your own good."

Leviathan nodded, satisfied, and returned to the deep sea.

Li Wei returned to the Blackfire Cave with enough dragon horn powder to last him for a while.

He has now mastered all five breathing techniques—Black Serpent, Blood Beast, Crimson Lotus, Phoenix, and Black Whale—to their ultimate legendary level.

However, he is still not a [Legendary Five-Dimensional State], but can only be called a [Legendary Four-and-a-Half-Dimensional State] because the Black Whale Breathing Technique is also a part of the power dimension. In addition, there is the Giant Breathing Technique's arm strength enhancement and the Ostrich Breathing Technique's leg strength enhancement. Levi also broke the limits of the Giant and Ostrich Breathing Techniques some time ago.

Both of these breathing techniques are now at level ten, and they are both moving towards the final level eleven.

Currently, in Li Wei's breathing technique system, only [Legendary Endurance] and [Legendary Perception] are lagging far behind. Some time ago, after the courier service between the human and wizarding worlds resumed, Andrew sent a batch of breathing techniques, but none of them were the type Li Wei wanted, and the quality of these techniques was decreasing. This indicates that, under normal circumstances, even with Andrew's abilities, his future harvest of breathing techniques is destined to decrease.

Andrew had asked Levi if they should just go all out and loot everything. Levi thought about it and told Andrew not to rush things; the human world wasn't chaotic enough yet. So far, the multidimensional forces descending upon the human world were too few, mainly just sporadic Blue Frost Calamities and vampire attacks, not enough to overwhelm the Church of the Seven Kingdoms. After some time, more powerful beings should infiltrate the human world, and more and more demonic forces should arrive, inevitably leading to war with the Church and its hidden true power. At that time, a large number of powerful families would certainly be wiped out. With Andrew's abilities, he could fish in troubled waters and acquire many useful breathing techniques, perhaps even going directly to Heaven Mountain to retrieve the Van Helsing family heirloom, which was suspected to be there.

Judging from the information Li Wei is currently receiving from the wizarding news he subscribes to, the demonic tide is accelerating, and the day when chaos reigns on Earth shouldn't be too far off. All Li Wei needs to do is wait patiently.

In the middle of the Flower Month, the Twilight Knights' annual team-building activity arrived as scheduled. Li Wei arrived early at the island where he was to meet with Mu Di. This time, they changed locations; the previous island had gradually fallen apart due to the long legendary war.

He sat there silently, while the Basilosaurus waited for Li Wei in the deep sea. Before long, a huge Stegosaurus came riding the waves. On the Stegosaurus's back, Emperor Mu laughed excitedly: "Haha, Captain, I'm here! This sea beast mount you gave me before is really good. From now on, I won't need to wait for that Azure Ship anymore. That lousy ship has infrequent departures and a slow speed. It's too much of a torture to be on it."

"Although this Stegosaurus is not a first-ring extraordinary creature, it is still a descendant of the dragon race. You should cherish it in the future," Li Wei said.

Some time ago, Li Wei stumbled upon a Stegosaurus. He thought that Emperor Mu was still struggling, commuting by public transport and lacking even a personal mount, which tarnished his reputation as the leader of the Twilight Knights. So, he spent some time taming the Stegosaurus and presented it to Emperor Mu. Emperor Mu insisted on giving Li Wei five hundred Taishi. Given Emperor Mu's strength, accumulating five hundred Taishi must have been incredibly difficult. Li Wei initially refused, but eventually, unable to refuse any longer, he reluctantly accepted.

The reason Li Wei gave the mount to Emperor Mu was because his real intention was not the mount itself. What he wanted was not the Tai Shi, but Emperor Mu's Sacred Ape Breathing Technique and the loyalty of a legendary knight.

"Commander, after my seclusion this time, my strength has greatly improved. From now on, you'd better be careful. I, Emperor Mu, am no longer the Emperor Mu I once was!" Emperor Mu shouted confidently.

Li Wei smiled slightly: "Bring it on, let me see the results of your cultivation!"

Emperor Mu grinned, black fur sprouting from his body, and his skin taking on layers of pale gold color, with faint golden scales visible on it.

Li Wei knew that this was the Golden Horn Breathing Technique's defense!

Judging from Emperor Mu's appearance, he must have cultivated the Golden Horn Breathing Technique to the ninth level, the gaseous golden scale stage.

Li Wei sighed inwardly, thinking that the proficiency panel was still the best.

Having started learning so many years later than Emperor Mu, and having to juggle so much experience with breathing techniques and the path of the mage, the Golden Horn Breathing Technique was just something I learned incidentally. Yet, my achievements in this breathing technique are already stronger than Emperor Mu's. Li Wei's Golden Horn Breathing Technique is already at the tenth level, and I estimate that I will reach its limit next year.

However, he naturally wouldn't show off anything to Emperor Mu; he simply used his Black Serpent Breathing Technique to fight Emperor Mu!

"bring it on!"

Emperor Mu leaped high into the air, like an angry gorilla, his fist raised high, and smashed directly at Li Wei.

Li Wei neither dodged nor evaded, using the scales of the black serpent to withstand Emperor Mu's attack.

Bang bang bang!

The two fought a fierce battle on the island, amidst billowing smoke and dust, from dusk till night.

Li Wei's damn "Night Favorite" effect has automatically activated again.

Then Li Wei's strength began to increase uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry, Emperor Mu, I didn't want to get stronger like this either," Li Wei thought to himself. His physical abilities were getting stronger in every aspect, and with each increase, it became more and more difficult for Emperor Mu to deal with Li Wei's attacks, until Emperor Mu was completely smashed to the ground by Li Wei's iron fist and could not move.

"We've lost again," Emperor Mu sighed.

"But you are indeed much stronger than before," Li Wei comforted him.

"This is my ancestral 'Sacred Ape Breathing Method.' You can take it and use it first. Just return it to me when you're done," Mu Di said.

"This is the 'Black Whale Breathing Technique,' a breathing technique from the Black Mountain family of the Emerald Empire. Its quality is comparable to your 'Sacred Ape Breathing Technique.' Take it for reference," Li Wei said.

"Thanks." Emperor Mu put it away, lay down on the ground, panting. Li Wei also lay down on the ground, gazing at the starry night.

He has a maxed-out ability to copy, and he has an exact copy of every breathing technique inheritance diagram he has obtained, stored in a special storage bag. If he wants to establish his own power or family in the future, these breathing techniques may still come in handy.

"I really envy you. Not only are you better than me in the way of chivalry, but you are also far superior in the way of wizardry," Mudi couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't envy me. I just had some good fortune. Everyone has their own opportunities. If you look at history, your strength is top-tier legendary knight. I doubt even the Blood Knight would be your match." Li Wei suddenly thought of the old man Anderson in the human world.

"That's far from enough. The Blood Knight is unfathomable, far beyond my reach. But one day, I will definitely surpass him," Mu Di said. He possessed the Golden Spine, a true treasure. If he could thoroughly study it, he might be able to truly unleash the power of the Golden Bloodline, and perhaps even surpass the Captain!

"Commander, in a few years, once I've accumulated enough resources, I'll leave the Azure Realm. It's not a good fit for me here. I want to go to the Realm of Life," Mu Di said.

"The Realm of Life? You want to comprehend the mysteries of bloodlines? Learn more breathing techniques?" Li Wei asked.

Mudi nodded: "The path of the legendary knight has come to an end. The fog ahead is too thick for my current level to see through. I want to make myself as strong as possible first, so I can only learn more breathing techniques."

"Actually, the path of wizardry is also a good choice. Although the Child of Chaos doesn't have much talent, there are still some ways for you to advance to a formal wizard," Li Wei suggested.

"I know, but I've found that I might still prefer knights. Only this kind of hand-to-hand combat can get my blood pumping and make me addicted," Mudi said.

"Alright then, if you need any help, you can tell me, the leader of the group," Li Wei said. Everyone has their own ambitions, and Mu Di's idea is not wrong. For his current situation, perhaps joining the School of Life is the only way out.

However, the cost of entering the Realm of Life from the Realm of Ocean is considerable; even with Li Wei's current financial resources, he can only barely make one round trip.

Even though Mu Di was a legendary knight, it would still be quite difficult for him to accumulate so many Tai Shi and enter the Realm of Life unharmed.

After all, the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council's legislation only protects formal wizards, not legendary knights.

Li Wei could only wish Emperor Mu all the best.

"By the way, Commander, I heard from Sage Mason that there is a powerful fifth-ring wizard in the Starry Sea called [Flower Witch Elena]. She also has another title, the Knight of a Hundred Flowers. It's a pity she's too powerful, otherwise we could have recruited her into our Twilight Knights," Mudi said.

"The Knight of Flowers, a legendary figure like the Blood Knight, indeed, she has also become a wizard, and in such a short time she has advanced to the fifth ring, which is a mid-level peak wizard. Looking at the Endless Sea, she is a big figure who dominates one side. You are right, we are too weak now and are not qualified to invite her to join us." Li Wei laughed.

However, given more time, he might be able to catch up with the Knight of Flowers.

After speaking with Emperor Mu, Li Wei did not return to Blackfire Island, but went to the Gray Tower instead.

The "Sacred Ape Breathing Technique" requires the bloodline of an ape creature with a strong affinity for the earth element. In this endless sea, Li Wei was unsure if he could find one, unless there were "earth monkeys" in the sea.

He found Manra and asked her to keep an eye out for the ingredients of the Sacred Ape Elixir. It would be best if it were a first-level transcendent ape creature. Although Li Wei had a Great Ice Ape King in the human world, that ape was obviously aquatic and had an affinity for water elements. Moreover, the Great Ice Ape King's blood was only barely enough for the Giant Breathing Technique, and it was impossible for it to support other breathing techniques.

After finishing all that and completing the pharmacy course in the tower, Levi, Winnie, and Mylene had a small tea party.

At the tea party, Li Wei learned that Morpheus, the island master of Whale Song Island, had recently emerged from seclusion. However, Whale Song Island had been keeping a low profile and had not caused any trouble.

"That Morpheus guy is still alive? He got off easy." Levi sighed inwardly. If only the Deep Sea Baron had just killed Morpheus back then. Damn it, good people don't live long, but evil people live a long life.

"However, now that the Tower Master is at the third ring, he is not afraid of Morpheus. The only question is who this mysterious fifth-ring wizard behind Morpheus is, what his attitude is, and why he went to such great lengths to save Morpheus."

Besides Whale Song Island, the Deep Sea Baron is still alive, and these are all potential threats to this sea area in the future.

"Once we return to Blackfire Island, we must complete the magic array in one go and upgrade the security measures on Blackfire Island so that we can cultivate there with greater peace of mind."

Li Wei arrived at the tower master's room.

"You're finally back, kid. Did you succeed in creating that alchemical creature I asked you to?" the tower master asked.

Li Wei took out one of the lowest quality swordsmen he had crafted.

"I guess it's a success, Tower Master. What do you think of my refining?" Li Wei said with a smile.

"Hey...not bad." The tower master looked at the swordsman mantis, tapping and knocking on it, listening to the sound.

"There are still some flaws and it's not perfect, but for a beginner like you, being able to refine a zero-level alchemy creature like the Swordsman Mantis, which has a relatively high technical content, is quite good. It was worth it for me to personally guide you." The tower master showed a satisfied smile.

"It's all thanks to your excellent teaching, Tower Master," Li Wei said.

"Don't be arrogant. Your current skills are still far from being able to refine a first-level alchemical creature. I'll give you some homework. This book contains alchemical runes and alchemical formulas that first-level alchemical creatures would use. Go back and study them carefully. Only when you have thoroughly mastered these will you be qualified to try refining a first-level alchemical creature," the tower master said.

"Okay, thank you, Tower Master!" Li Wei took the assignment given by the Tower Master, left the White Tower, went to Yoman to have his blood drawn, and then left the Gray Tower.

He has been studying the art of magic arrays for some time, but he still hasn't mastered it. This time, he's determined to get the magic array skill onto his proficiency panel. He won't give up until he gets it!

Upon returning to Blackfire Island, Li Wei began to study the Book of Cypher day and night. During this time, apart from practicing the necessary breathing techniques and meditation, Li Wei spent the rest of his time researching magic arrays.

Finally, after the arrival of the Fiery Moon, Li Wei's proficiency panel showed some changes.

Li Wei————

Magic Circle: Tier 1 (1/1000)

……

"It's finally done. Now I'll practice making the simplest zero-ring magic circle from the Book of Cypher."

Li Wei was overjoyed. He had also inscribed the most difficult path of magic arrays into his proficiency panel. Now he could start grinding for it. Like potions, magic arrays were not a faction, and magic array wizards did not have any special meditation methods. Therefore, there was no need to specifically practice other special meditation methods. From now on, Li Wei only needed to grind for this one skill.

The Book of Cypher records dozens of different types of magic arrays, both large and small.

Among them, there are four types of second-ring magic arrays, including [Sea Monster Cage], [Shark Dance], [Misty Forest], and [Lightless Shield], which are respectively a control array, a killing array, a bewildering array, and a defensive array.

There are six types of first-level magic arrays, including the [Shadowless Tracking Array] that completely concealed Pinoz's presence and even tricked Merlin.

Apart from these, all are zero-ring magic arrays, which are arrays that even magic array wizard apprentices can set up.

Of course, even among zero-ring magic arrays, there are differences in the difficulty of distinguishing between them.

Considering the current situation, Li Wei decided to start with the simplest one in this zero-ring magic array.

This magic circle is called "Clouds and Rain Turn to Smoke". According to the description in the Book of Cypher, it is a relatively uncommon magic circle. This magic circle has only one function, which is... watering, similar to the fully automatic greenhouse in my previous life.

Li Wei now owns a large herb field on Blackfire Island. These fields are usually looked after by the Swordsman Mantis, but these alchemical creatures can only execute the simplest watering commands and use ordinary water. This is only enough to meet the basic needs of the herbs. Many herbs, especially first-level herbs, require Li Wei to personally water them using the "Floral Fairy Dew" skill. This is because the water watered with Floral Fairy Dew is rich in elemental power and factors that are beneficial to the growth of herbs, which can promote their growth and enhance their medicinal effects.

This would still waste some of Li Wei's cultivation time. If he could refine this [Cloud and Rain Turn to Smoke] formation and make several sets to cover all of Li Wei's medicinal fields, he could use the power of the formation to automatically gather the ingredients in the world that help the herbs grow, forming mist and rain to continuously nourish the growth of the herbs. In this way, Li Wei could completely free his hands.

To create a Cloud and Rain Formation Array, one hundred and forty-four kinds of spell runes and twelve array items are required. Each array item needs to have the corresponding spell runes solidified on it, and then be placed in a specific position.

The materials for crafting such low-level magic arrays are relatively easy to find. Li Wei had previously asked Manra to collect some at the Black Sail Wizard Market. These materials are enough for Li Wei to craft about twenty sets of Cloud and Rain Smoke Magic Arrays. The crafting materials for one set of Cloud and Rain Smoke Magic Arrays cost about one hundred Tai Shi, which is not high, and is even less than the alchemical creature, the Swordsman Mantis.

Li Wei had calculated that, given the area of ​​his medicinal fields, twelve sets of Cloud and Rain Smoke Formation arrays would be sufficient to completely cover all the herbs that needed nourishment.

Therefore, it is enough to successfully refine twelve sets.

Carrying the materials for refining the magic array, Li Wei arrived at the underground of Blackfire Island. Deep within the cave where he lived, there was a fire cave. Beneath the fire cave, crimson magma flowed all day long, and the raging fire elemental power gathered into the earth fire.

"It's a pity I don't know how to craft artifacts, otherwise, collecting and utilizing this earth fire would be excellent for crafting artifacts."

The process of crafting a magic array is similar to crafting a weapon, except that magic arrays are much more difficult to craft. Even the simplest Cloud and Rain Smoke magic array requires a full 144 different spell runes. These spell runes must be imprinted in Li Wei's mental power before Li Wei can solidify them onto the magic array object, similar to the solidification of ordinary spells.

Fortunately, the Book of Cypher is vast and profound. Although it only records some low-level magic arrays, it is a complete encyclopedia of magic array knowledge. It details how to go from zero to beginner magic array and then become a qualified magic array wizard. In addition, Li Wei's talent in this area is not bad. Therefore, Li Wei now has some confidence in refining the Cloud and Rain to Smoke magic array.

He placed the materials for the magic array into a special refining vessel within the earth fire and began the refining process. While refining, he also needed to recite the corresponding incantations and perform the corresponding hand seals.

The crafting cycle of magic arrays is obviously much longer than others. Li Wei devoted himself wholeheartedly to crafting magic arrays. Apart from practicing meditation to restore his mental energy during breaks, he even temporarily stopped practicing breathing techniques. He wanted to master the art of magic arrays as soon as possible so that he could start crafting the first-ring magic arrays he wanted to make.

It took Li Wei a full half month to complete the crafting of the first Cloud and Rain Formation. Naturally, it failed. The formation could not be activated properly after being inserted into the ground.

It's inevitable that things will turn out this way the first time, but Li Wei wasn't discouraged.

At least this failed attempt increased my proficiency by nearly two hundred. Theory is no substitute for practice.

While refining the magic array, Li Wei also studied the Book of Cypher. His proficiency in magic arrays improved rapidly. The refining of magic arrays was much more difficult than Li Wei had imagined. Li Wei failed again and again, and started over again and again. His abundant resources and time made him fearless.

The year 1030 of the Holy Radiance Calendar marks the New Year of the Primordial Moon.

Li Wei has celebrated his fortieth birthday and officially entered middle age. However, he looks no different from when he was in his twenties. After all, back then, Winnie mistook him for a forty-year-old man.

For the past six months, Li Wei has only done one thing: magic arrays, magic arrays, and damn magic arrays!

After twelve failed attempts at refining, Li Wei was numb. He took out his thirteenth set of refining arrays and went to the medicinal field on Fire Dragon Peak. Most of the herbs that Li Wei had planted before had sprouted and were full of vitality.

The four-headed mantis was patrolling the medicinal field methodically, just like a robot, to prevent some wretched seagulls and other seabirds from stealing the precious seedlings of medicinal herbs.

Li Wei chanted an incantation, and all twelve array flags inlaid with Tai stones flew out, transforming into streams of light that surrounded a medicinal field where Blue Fire Grass was planted. Then, beams of white light shot out from these array flags, connecting with each other to finally form a magic array.

As the magic array operated, wisps of white smoke diffused into mist, filling the herb field and lingering there. Drops of nutrient-rich dew condensed on the leaves and roots of the Bluefire Grass.

"It's finally done..."

Li Wei breathed a deep sigh of relief. With this successful refining experience, things would be much easier from here on out.

This is an 8000-word chapter. It's almost the end of the month, so please vote for me! I'll try to reach 10,000 monthly votes this month! Thank you! Also, I've already posted the bonus chapter for the wedding photos I promised to post when I reach 10,000 subscribers. You can check it out. I'll post a picture of us riding horses at our wedding when I have some free time.
