Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 179 Advancing to the First Ring Senior Level! (Seeking 62000 Monthly Tickets)

The journey back was much smoother. Levi and Leviathan swam through the deep sea and eventually returned to Blackfire Island safely.

"It was quite an ordeal; getting certified as a pharmacist was really difficult," Li Wei remarked.

Li Wei took out the multi-compartment storage bag:

First, there's the three thousand Tai Shi. This Duoge truly lives up to his reputation as a weapon maker. Although his strength isn't that great, he's incredibly wealthy. Even after accounting for his weapon-making expenses, he still managed to save up so much.

Then came the spellbooks, meditation techniques, and spellcasting materials commonly found in the Burning Order. Li Wei glanced at them; they weren't of much use to him. He already had all of these—mostly the most widely circulated public spells.

Finally, there was a whole bunch of different crafting materials. Besides the common brass, mithril, and obsidian used in alchemy, there were many other materials that Li Wei didn't recognize, mostly materials from sea monsters.

Because the crafting methods in the Endless Sea lack the materials commonly found in other life realms, the craftsmen here have developed a crafting system based primarily on sea beast materials, which can be considered an adaptation to local conditions.

"I can try to repair the Blazing Blanket later; this magical artifact is also a life-saving tool," Li Wei thought to himself.

Finally, there's the "Book of Starforging Runes," an extremely rare crafting heritage, priceless like the "Book of Cyphers." And it sounds like a very powerful crafting heritage.

Besides these, among the many items, only one first-level sorcerer artifact remained, called the [Burning Gloves]. It was a crimson leather glove with two first-level spells from the Burning School solidified on it: [Burning Hand] and [Fireball], both classic spells. The Burning Hand was also the prototype for the Flame Stream Seal.

In addition, wearing this glove can gather the power of fire element, amplify the power of burning spells, and speed up casting, similar to Livy's Ring of Fire.

The burning hand also bears the mark of the artifact's maker:

"Tower of Crimson Flames - Dog".

It looks like this is the witchcraft that Dog made for himself.

Before he died, Dogg used this glove to cast a fireball on Levi.

"Nice gloves."

Li Wei will put it away for now and use it after this turmoil has passed.

Although he killed a first-circle wizard, the other party was an accomplice of the dark wizard Crow, and given the chaos in Hotwind City at the time, the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council would eventually attribute Dogo's death to that great war, and no one would be able to trace it back to him.

Putting those thoughts aside, Li Wei opened the book on the inheritance of crafting techniques. On the title page, there was a name.

"Oz the Starforger".

"Such a high-class and impressive title. It must be at least a high-level wizard's title," Li Wei muttered to himself.

He continued reading, because Li Wei had already studied the Book of Cyphers before, and many of the principles of magic arrays were common to the principles of weapon crafting, so Li Wei read it very smoothly.

After he had roughly browsed through the inheritance, a notification appeared on the proficiency panel.

Li Wei quickly looked over and realized that he had already mastered the basics of crafting tools.

Li Wei——————

Crafting: Tier 1 (23/1000)

……

"So fast?"

"It's probably because I have a foundation in third-order magic arrays and alchemy. Magic arrays, alchemy, and weapon crafting all have some similarities and commonalities. If you master one, learning the other two will be much easier."

It's like how the more breathing techniques I learn, the faster I can practice later ones. If that's the case, I'll focus on magic arrays first, then alchemy, and finally artifact crafting, prioritizing magic arrays while also cultivating the other two as well.

After reading through the initial introduction to the Book of Star Forger, Li Wei was somewhat shocked.

This book on crafting was a little different from what he had imagined. Oz was not the high-level wizard he thought he was, but just an ordinary mid-level wizard with alien blood. This alien blood was the Starforgers.

Although Li Wei is not a weapon maker, as a formal wizard and magic array wizard, he has some understanding of the art of weapon making.

The conventional way of crafting artifacts is simply to construct a spell model in one's mind, and then solidify the spell onto a smelted carrier, thus forming a basic magical artifact.

The more complex the magical artifact, the more complex the fixed spells, the more types of spells, and the more combinations and synergies between different spells. However, no matter how complex or advanced the magical artifact is, the most basic principles are largely the same.

However, the crafting tradition left behind by Oz is somewhat different from others. In addition to the conventional methods of spell solidification, he also introduced something called "rune language".

This seems to be a very ancient crafting method, originating from the "Starforger Civilization" in the multiverse. Rune language was a path created by the genius Oz. And Oz was a wizard who had traveled through the Starforger Civilization.

He once followed his father, a member of the Starforgers, to the Starforger civilization, a civilization that was once extremely glorious, especially in the manufacture of powerful equipment. Unfortunately, it did not last long and eventually fell to a more powerful civilization, and its legacy was completely severed.

The Starforgers' strength once rested on their "Words of the Stars," which were said to allow their blacksmiths to communicate with the stars and condense their power into their creations.

Therefore, all the equipment of the Starforger civilization's army is imbued with "the language of the stars," which gives their equipment a variety of powerful abilities.

Legend has it that even the gods and the rulers of the multiverse yearn for the ultimate weapon forged by the strongest craftsman of the Starforger civilization.

"Star God Weapon!"

Possessing this ultimate weapon grants the power to destroy planes and civilizations.

Although myths and legends are inevitably exaggerated, the power of the language of the stars is still evident.

Because only the Starforgers could master the language of the stars, after Oz left the Starforger civilization, he translated and modified the language of the stars, optimizing it into the language of runes that wizards could also use.

While the power of runewords is far less than that of "star words," they can still enhance the quality of magical artifacts in other ways besides spell solidification.

However, in Oz's time, the runewords he created had not even passed the knowledge certification of the Pan-Plane Wizarding Council, so they could not be listed in the Knowledge Shop and could not be licensed to other wizarding organizations to earn fees. In the end, Oz was frustrated and could only seal away his works before his death, but somehow Dog got his hands on them.

Although Dogg obtained this crafting inheritance book, he didn't truly utilize it. He simply treated it as an ordinary crafting inheritance book, completely ignoring the rune language section.

It's not that Doge doesn't want to get involved, but rather that runewords require constructing "rune stars" in one's mind, just like building spell models. These rune stars replace the stellar power that the original Starforger communicated with, thus achieving a lower-end version of the Starword effect.

Constructing rune stars is several times more difficult than constructing spell runes, making it a thankless and arduous task for most wizards.

After the rune stars are constructed, to enhance the power of runewords, you need to constantly use meditation to guide the wisps of star power into the rune stars in your mind, thereby increasing the power of the runewords.

Different runic words require communication with different celestial bodies, and these runic celestial bodies will also occupy spell slots in the mind that originally belong to spells, putting an unbearable strain on the wizard's mental energy...

In short, this is an extremely troublesome way of making tools.

Therefore, Oz's invention was considered a useless and impractical one by the contemporary academic community of artifact-making, and it was impossible for it to be popularized. The academic review committee at the time directly rejected the request to put runewords on the Council's knowledge shop.

Of course, runewords also have an advantage.

That is, it can be continuously upgraded, and it can be inherited from one magical artifact to the next.

In other words, once Li Wei has successfully mastered a runeword, he only needs to continuously refine and upgrade it in the days to come, and the power of that runeword will become increasingly greater.

It can be understood as a spell and spell rune that can be upgraded.

From now on, no matter what level of magical artifact Li Wei uses, he can remove the runewords from the old, obsolete artifacts and embed them into the new artifacts.

Finally, Li Wei opened the book to the runewords page. The book contained 22 runewords. According to Oz, there were hundreds of stellar words in the Starforger civilization. With his lifelong research, he could only translate and decipher 22 runewords.

"Power, hermits..."

Li Wei intended to look at them one by one, but when he saw the rune structure of the second runeword, "Hermit," he felt extremely tired and drowsy, as if he had been continuously refining potions for three days and three nights.

"No, with my mental strength, I can only see the runewords 'Strength' and 'Hermit.' I can't see anything after that."

Li Wei was somewhat shocked. With his level one wizard and 27 points of mental strength, he couldn't even finish reading the following content. Ordinary wizard apprentices would have no way to learn it. No wonder the Burning Gloves made by Dog didn't have rune words melted into it. Dog's mental strength level was not as good as Li Wei's. He probably didn't even have the qualifications to learn rune words.

"This is a completely new system of artifact crafting, entirely different from the wizarding way. How could something like this fail to pass the knowledge review of the scholars and experts of the Pan-Plane Council? Unbelievable! These people are far too arrogant. No wonder they're called…experts!"

Li Wei felt sorry for Oz. He didn't believe there was no shady dealings or conspiracy involved. It must be that Oz's innovative invention touched the interests of certain vested interests in the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council, which is why it was ruthlessly rejected.

According to the principles of wizardry, runewords should not be rejected outright, regardless of their usefulness. As wizards, being open-minded and inclusive is the correct attitude towards unfamiliar things.

Of course, not all wizards are saints. Among scholars, there are bound to be some arrogant, decadent, and stubborn individuals who look down on younger generations of scholars and are afraid that their own interests will be threatened. This is understandable. It can only be said that Oz was unlucky and did not meet his mentor.

"Forget it, the Sea and Sky Wizarding Grand Gathering is coming soon, and I don't have time to study it now. I'll study it slowly after the conference." Li Wei solemnly put the book away. The value of this "Book of Star Forging Runes" far exceeded his ordinary crafting skills, because it was unique.

"Giving this to Doge would be a complete waste. It should belong to me. I have a proficiency panel, so these difficult rune words shouldn't be a problem for me... Panel Bro." Li Wei muttered to himself.

……

The year 1032 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Frosty Winter.

The Sea and Sky Wizarding Festival is drawing ever closer.

Not long after, Li Wei also went to the Gray Tower to retrieve his letter, which contained his licensed pharmacist certificate. He also took the opportunity to let Teacher Merlin know he was safe and sound, so she wouldn't worry.

Li Wei, who became a registered pharmacist, was not idle either.

He put all the extra potions he had while honing his potion-making skills into the Warhammer Shop for sale. As a first-level senior apothecary, his potions were of top quality, so Li Wei's potions were well received in the market, allowing him to make a small profit.

Making money with medicine relies on word-of-mouth and a steady, long-term approach. If you want to make big money and get rich quick, individual pharmacists like Li Wei won't work; you need a specialized pharmacist organization.

However, through his continuous efforts, Li Wei's stockpile of Taishi reached 20,000 before the Sea and Sky Wizarding Festival!

The main source of income was the bounty and spoils from the four black wizards killed, along with Dog's spoils and the gift from Dinos. Because the time was too short, the potions didn't generate a lot of money.

Li Wei instantly felt confident again, full of confidence for the upcoming Haitian Grand Gathering. Apart from the wizards from those big families and organizations, the financial resources of ordinary first-ring wizards or even second-ring wizards might not be as abundant as Li Wei's current wealth.

On this day, Li Wei stood up from his cave.

After grinding for experience over this period, his Scarab Touch has also reached level 5.

Li Wei————

Scarab Touch: Tier 5 (Limit)

……

"Phew, just as I guessed. The maximum number of fifth-tier scarabs I can control is ten thousand, which is more than enough for me to use in the first or even second ring stage. The next focus is on cultivating and improving the quality of the scarab scorpions."

Li Wei arrived at the Scorpion Breeding Room.

Inside an underground cave, there were about a thousand armored scorpions crawling densely. In addition, on the rock walls, there were white insect eggs that emitted a faint golden light. These eggs were either not yet hatched or had already emerged.

These scarab scorpions were all juveniles, raised separately by Li Wei to prevent their mentally challenged parents from eating them.

Li Wei kept all the adult armored scorpions in the insect house.

"These seventh-generation Armored Scorpion larvae have just hatched, but their size is already similar to that of the earliest adults. One of them is the size of a child's palm. If they were adults, they would probably be the size of an adult's palm."

Li Wei was amazed. After his special selection and training, this was only the seventh generation, but the quality of the Sacred Armor Scorpion had already met Li Wei's expectations.

Whether it's their biting power, defense, speed, or appetite, they are far superior to their ancestors; this is an all-around improvement in attributes.

Even if Li Wei's fireball hits the scarabs nowadays, it will only blast them away and leave their shells slightly charred, but it won't kill them.

Unless attacked with high intensity and density, it is generally impossible to break through their carapace defenses.

These armored scorpions aren't stupid; when they sense danger, they use their speed to quickly evade it.

"The seventh-generation Armored Scorpions should be able to barely rank in the top 200 of the Zerg list. Once they all grow up, they can truly become my fighting force. At that time, with tens of thousands of seventh-generation Armored Scorpions in hand, even second-ring wizards will have to be wary."

Li Wei used a newly crafted magic array to surround these caves, preventing the juvenile Sacred Armor Scorpions from being eaten by predators or escaping.

"That's great, your strength has improved a little bit more."

Li Wei was overjoyed. He figured that if he improved even a little each day, he would eventually become a big shot in this wizarding world…

He has now reached a bottleneck in both the ways of chivalry and wizardry, a very awkward situation. The reason for this bottleneck is the secret medicine and potions.

The way of the knight lacks extraordinary elixirs, while the way of the wizard lacks highly effective meditation aids.

On the contrary, Li Wei was most successful in the art of magic.

"Let's go, time to find Teacher Mylin. I'm kind of looking forward to the upcoming Sea and Sky Wizarding Festival."

Levi left home, rode Leviathan, and ventured into the deep sea.

When they arrived at the Gray Tower, Mylene and Winnie were already prepared. They were waiting for Levi to arrive. Winnie was dressed up in her finest attire, her low-cut pleated robe revealing a variety of charms and a unique mature elegance.

Seeing Li Wei rushing over in such a hurry, Mai Lin felt a little guilty.

These days, she had also heard about the events that had occurred in the Eighth District. She never expected that Senior Laura and Crowe would actually fight each other, even alarming the Inspector of the Fourth Ring.

However, her biggest worry was undoubtedly Li Wei. She even felt a little guilty for not taking over the position of president of the Pharmacist Association back then, so that Li Wei wouldn't have to go to such a far place for certification.

Although Li Wei eventually returned successfully and was officially recognized, such a thing must never happen again.

"Now that everyone's here, let's go."

"That's what Mailen said."

Just as he finished speaking, a giant albatross-like seabird flew over from afar and landed in the mailroom of the Gray Tower, transforming into a male wizard dressed in the uniform robes of an owlhouse staff member.

"There is an email from Lord Levi Snake. Please check it," the wizard announced loudly.

Li Wei was about to leave when he suddenly stopped.

"Teachers, wait for me a moment, I'll go take a look," Li Wei said.

"Go ahead, no rush." ​​Mylene waved her hand, urging Levi to hurry up, while they went to wait for Levi on the shore near Leviathan.

Li Wei returned to the mailroom, took the storage bag from the messenger, and the messenger transformed into an albatross and left.

The messengers from Owl Hut are of two types: the Albatross type is for domestic mail and consists entirely of male witches, while the Owl type is for cross-border mail and consists entirely of female witches, such as the witch Eve.

So Li Wei knew this wasn't something Andrew had sent him. This made him a little curious; in this Azure Realm, all his close friends were in the Gray Tower, so surely no one from other regions would send him anything?

Li Wei cautiously opened the storage bag, not because he was worried about dangerous items inside, since dangerous items would never pass the inspection and acceptance of Owl Hut.

Opening the storage bag revealed a small bag full of Tai Shi. Even Li Wei, who currently possessed 20,000 Tai Shi, couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

"Ten thousand taels of silver? Who sent it? Could it have been sent to the wrong person?"

Finally, in the corner of the storage bag, Li Wei found a meticulously crafted gold envelope.

On the envelope was a picture of a majestic golden lion, noble and solemn, seemingly from the Joestar family. Levi opened the letter.

"My dear Lord Levi, it's as if we're meeting in person. Please forgive me for not bringing enough Tauren last time; besides a shipload of newly purchased goods, I had nothing else. I could only borrow three thousand Tauren from my steward to express my gratitude. As I said, the Joestar family always repays its debts. After I returned home and told my father, Leon, what I had experienced, this 'Old Golden Lion' angrily reprimanded me, saying I was ignorant. These ten thousand Tauren represent my gratitude, my father's gratitude, and the Joestar family's gratitude for saving your life. Please accept them. If you have time, you are welcome to visit Lion King City on the Yellow Earth Continent. The Joestar family looks forward to your arrival."

The signature at the bottom is that of Dinos Joestar.

Li Wei was slightly taken aback.

"this……"

To be honest, it was probably because of Li Wei's poverty that his imagination was limited, or perhaps it was because he killed those dark wizards too easily.

In his view, this was just a small favor, nothing serious. After all, he had already taken the storage bags and bounties from the four dark wizards. If it weren't for Dinos and the butler's restraint, he would have had to put in a lot of effort to kill the remaining three dark wizards.

Therefore, Li Wei did not think that three thousand Tai Shi was too meager; for most wizards in the outer sea area, it was a huge sum of money.

"Maybe this is the world of the rich... This kid really put his heart into it." Li Wei silently praised, his impression of the Joestar family growing even stronger.

No wonder he's a descendant of a legendary knight; he really knows how to conduct himself.

Judging from the legendary knights Li Wei has encountered so far, whether it's the Blood Knight or Mudi, they all seem to possess some outstanding qualities, truly embodying the chivalrous virtues so precious in this world. Perhaps it is precisely these chivalrous qualities that have forged these legendary knights.

"I haven't even sold the Blessing of the Naga yet, and I already have 30,000 gold coins. Life is full of surprises," Li Wei thought to himself. 30,000 gold coins could buy even the lowest-grade wizard ship.

He warned himself not to get carried away, to be frugal and use resources wisely. He already had the Leviathan, a vehicle that consumed 100 kilograms of flesh every 100 kilometers, so why waste so much on the Wizard Ship?

Levi solemnly accepted the Joestar family's gift of gratitude, found Meryl and Winnie waiting on the shore, boarded the Leviathan, and set off towards the location of the Sea-Sky Wizarding Gathering.

……

The Sea and Sky Wizarding Gathering is being held on a deserted island in an uninhabited sea area. This uninhabited sea area is located on the edge of the uninhabited sea area between the Ninth and Eighth Districts. It was in this sea area that Li Wei crossed.

However, a three-ring magic array called the "Heavenly Sea Curtain Array" has been set up on this deserted island specifically for this Sea and Sky Wizarding Gathering. This three-ring magic array is much more advanced than the two-ring magic array of the Gray Tower. Unless there are four-ring beings or multiple three-ring beings, this magic array will basically not be broken.

Moreover, most of the sea creatures near this uninhabited area had already been cleared out in advance, so there is no need to worry about the risk of sea creatures.

After all, those who come to the Sea and Sky Wizarding Gathering are at least formal wizards. Although the number of wizards participating in this gathering is not large, there are still about a thousand people. A thousand formal wizards are enough to sweep away all forces in this sea area. Even if mid-level wizards come, they won't fare well, not to mention that there are also a few mid-level wizards participating in the gathering.

Three days after Li Wei and his group set off, they arrived at the venue of the Haitian Grand Meeting. By then, the meeting had already been going on for a day.

On the deserted island, a blue magic circle covering an area of ​​nearly ten miles stretched from the sky to the ground. Various temporary buildings could be vaguely seen inside, resembling an amusement park from a previous life.

"A three-ring magic array... What a grand display!" Li Wei couldn't help but exclaim. Even his Book of Cypher only recorded some two-ring magic arrays at most. Three-ring magic arrays were even rarer to pass down, and could only be found in the Tower of Stars and the wizarding organizations in the Inner Ring Sea.

"Let's go in. Thanks to Leviathan, otherwise we would have arrived two days later and missed so much," Mylene said with a smile.

"Yes, I really envy my junior brother. To have such a first-ring sea beast as a mount is something that many formal wizards dream of." Winnie also sighed, her eyes revealing envy.

Li Wei smiled slightly and said nothing.

Without Leviathan's tireless efforts, there would be no Levi today. Once he subdues that Sea Dragon Crocodile, he'll definitely make Leviathan retire sooner... At most, he'll sharpen its horns to promote its healthy growth.

At the entrance to the magic circle, a second-circle wizard from the Tower of Stars was guarding the spot, studying a book in his hand.

"Please submit your identification and organization details, and I will record your spiritual imprints into the magic array, allowing you to enter and exit freely. In addition, each person needs to pay a registration fee of one hundred Tai Shi, which also serves as the entrance fee. After payment, you can freely enter and exit until the end of the Haitian Grand Event by presenting your membership card or official documents such as a registered pharmacist certificate."

Mylene nodded and handed three hundred taels of silver to the second-circle wizard.

Li Wei didn't say anything. Since the leader had offered to treat them, it would seem disrespectful to insist on paying the bill. Anyway, he and Teacher Mai Lin were all on the same side, so he didn't care about the small amount. Teacher Mai Lin naturally wouldn't mind.

Once inside, Winnie couldn't help but exclaim, "There must be at least a thousand wizards participating in this grand event. At 100 shi per person, the entrance fee alone will amount to 100,000 shi... Good heavens."

It's important to know that the admission fee is just the bare minimum. For every transaction that takes place at this Sea and Sky Wizarding Festival, the organizers, Tower of Stars, will charge a certain commission or booth fee.

In the past few days, the Tower of Stars has made a fortune, earning at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of Taishi. However, this is normal for such a large official institution.

This is because the outer ring area is full of poor wizards, and there's not much to make money out of.

The Star Tower can earn hundreds of millions of Tai Shi by hosting the Sea and Sky Grand Gathering in the inner ring area, a huge fortune that most wizard organizations and wizards cannot imagine.

Upon entering the venue, the noisy atmosphere immediately enveloped us. The sounds of hawking, discussion, laughter, and the clash of spells on the central arena rose and fell, filling our ears.

"Now you're free to do whatever you want. Just meet up at the entrance after the event. Don't get into any conflicts with others. At an event of this caliber, there might be some hidden experts at the third ring level. If they conceal their spiritual energy fluctuations, you might even mistake them for ordinary people. So you should treat everyone here with caution."

Mai Lin reminded her that she was the only one who wasn't attending the Hainan Rendez-Vous for the first time.

"Okay, teacher," Li Wei said.

"Yes, go ahead, Little Li Wei. I trust your personality," Mylene said with a smile.

Little Li Wei is a kind, humble, approachable, and very well-behaved person. Mai Lin likes people like that. It's just that Winnie, this big girl, is a bit rough around the edges, which makes Mai Lin a little uneasy.

Li Wei got straight to the point: he came to the Haitian Grand Gathering mainly for the potion formula; everything else was irrelevant.

Forget about battles and chance encounters; they're all insignificant compared to the paramount importance of grinding for experience.

He would be happy as long as he could get his hands on a potion formula that could significantly boost his meditation speed. He wouldn't join the upcoming grand event, in case anything went wrong and he would suffer the consequences.

At the Haitian Festival, many wizards have already started setting up stalls, and each stall here requires a stall fee.

Li Wei wandered around these stalls, finally shaking his head helplessly. He had been overthinking things. How could these people possibly have meditation potion recipes, or even breathing techniques? After walking around, although there were some materials and magical artifacts that could be useful to Li Wei, they were too expensive and not worth buying.

Finally, Li Wei walked and walked until he came to an auction, which was his last hope.

"Let's go in and take a look at the Haitian Auction House."

Generally, important items are handled through auctions at major events.

After showing his membership card, Li Wei arrived at the auction venue, where the auction was already underway, but it consisted of items that Li Wei was not interested in.

Near the end of the auction, Li Wei finally encountered something that interested him.

"Next up for auction are ten bottles of [Six God Flower Elixir], a top-grade first-ring elixir crafted by Green Water, a second-ring registered pharmacist from [Green's Tower]. It has passed official certification and testing, and the elixir is absolutely genuine and effective."

The potion increases the meditation speed of a first-ring wizard by 40%, and that of a second-ring wizard by 20%. It has no effect on wizards of the third ring or higher. The effect lasts for two weeks.

"This bundle of ten bottles of Six Gods Flower Elixir is for sale, with a starting bid of four thousand Tai Shi. However, if you have any breakthrough potions to help you break through to the first level of wizardry, please contact our staff directly. The apothecary will give priority to breakthrough potions."

After the pretty staff member finished speaking, a fierce bidding war broke out. It was clear that some of the wizards were quite wealthy. After all, these ten bottles of potions would be enough for almost six months.

Levi's heart stirred slightly. He had heard of Greenwater before, on the label of a tranquilizer he had obtained after killing Hillkos.

It seems that Greenwater has the potion formula he needs, but the other party is not selling the formula, but the potion itself.

Watching the others bid, Li Wei silently left the auction hall. As he left, he subtly transmitted his voice to the beautiful female staff member, saying, "I have a breakthrough potion. Could you please contact Mr. Green for me?"

He didn't shout it out directly. He didn't want to flaunt his wealth, especially something as precious as a breakthrough potion. There were so many wizards here, and although there were laws to restrain them, there would always be some reckless outlaws blinded by greed. Li Wei didn't want to be targeted by so many potential enemies just for buying a potion formula.

The staff member on the other end was slightly taken aback, and then she called out, "Please wait a moment, everyone."

Some of the wizards in the hall showed expressions of helplessness and resentment. It was clear that some of the wizards present possessed breakthrough potions, so the auction was temporarily suspended; however, no one knew who it was.

Backstage at the auction, in a private room equipped with soundproofing spells, Li Wei had already met the second-ring registered pharmacist, Green Water.

He was only a first-circle senior wizard, not the second-circle wizard that Levi imagined, and the [Grimm's Tower] was a very small family-type first-circle wizard organization established by this Mr. Grimm himself.

"Sir, do you really have a breakthrough potion? May I ask what kind of potion it is?" Greenwater's face lit up with joy, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.

He came from a family of pharmacists, and his family's pharmacist lineage included ancestral formulas for breakthrough potions. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't collect all the ingredients for these formulas.

Because some of the key ingredients can only be found in the Ghost Realm or even other multidimensional planes.

His eldest daughter, Emma Walter, is currently at a crucial stage in her journey from a high-level wizard apprentice to a first-level full wizard. Emma's talent is average, only at the level of affinity with all three elements, so her chances of successfully advancing to a first-level wizard are not very high.

However, if he had a breakthrough potion, plus the breakthrough potion he bought from another apothecary some time ago, Emma could basically advance to a formal wizard with 100% certainty by using these two different types of breakthrough potions together. At that time, his family could grow stronger again, and his own pressure would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Green still needs to confirm whether the potion that Levi possesses is the same as his own, because the same breakthrough potion cannot be used in combination; only the first use is effective.

Li Wei took out a Naga potion and said, "This is the Naga Blessing Potion. As a second-ring registered pharmacist, you must know about it."

Green's eyes lit up immediately, and he said excitedly, "Sir, those ten vials of Six God Flower Elixir are yours."

With his pharmacist's eye, he could tell at a glance whether the potion Li Wei concocted was genuine or fake, and he had also verified Li Wei's registered pharmacist status, which could not be faked.

The Naga's Blessing Potion is the most effective among the breakthrough potions, even better than the one I obtained from another alchemist.

Li Wei smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "Sir, you've misunderstood. I don't want the potion; I want the potion formula itself."

Although Green was a wizard, he didn't hide his emotions. Levi had already realized that his breakthrough potion was extremely tempting to Green, which was why he dared to say such a thing.

"This... Lord Li Wei, you've gone a bit too far. Do you know the value of the Six Gods Flower Elixir formula? A third-ring wizarding organization once offered 50,000 Tai Shi to buy this formula from me, but I refused to sell it. The formula is the foundation of our Green family, and it's impossible for us to sell it!" Green said coldly, his voice firm and resolute.

Li Wei said, "What if I buy your formula and use it myself? Your so-called foundation is nothing more than this unique potion formula being able to continuously generate income for your family. You're just worried about others making potions and stealing your business."

I can sign a contract with you on the stone tablet, and I will never reveal your potion formula to anyone else, and I will use it only for myself. I will not sell the Six God Flower potion, nor will I give it to anyone else, not even my own descendants.

In addition to this Naga potion, I'm willing to pay you a certain amount of Taishi. Mr. Green, don't be too conservative; you can seriously consider my terms. I've already shown you my utmost sincerity.

After Li Wei finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment when he saw Green's expression.

He thought to himself that this Green was probably the kind of pharmacist who focused on research, had no guile, was not good at dealing with others, and was somewhat rigid and dull, so this kind of person was relatively easy to manipulate.

Green was struggling internally. Although he had the ancestral formula for the breakthrough potion, he couldn't possibly collect all the ingredients. Even if he did, who knew when that would be? By then, his daughter's best opportunity for a breakthrough would have passed.

The opportunity was too good to pass up, and Li Wei's terms made him waver on his original principles.

"Mr. Green, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Think it over carefully," Li Wei said calmly.

Grimm was torn between his inner turmoil and finally sighed, forcing a wry smile. "Alright... Your Excellency wins. How about this, I won't ask you to pay any extra Taishi. I see you're an apothecary, so you should also have the recipe for Naga Blessing potions and know how to obtain the materials. I hope that if you have more Naga Blessings in the future, you'll prioritize selling them to Grimm's Tower. I have two sons and three daughters who are all wizard apprentices; it's not easy for me..."

Li Wei smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I hope we can achieve long-term cooperation, share resources, and make progress together."

However, this Green is really fertile. Generally speaking, there is not much difference in fertility between low-level wizards and mortals, and there are not many obstacles to reproduction.

However, very few wizards have so many offspring. In this day and age, it takes a lot of effort to raise an offspring into a formal wizard. Even if two wizards marry, it is impossible to guarantee that every offspring will have the aptitude to be a wizard.

More wizards focus on their own cultivation and power rather than wasting money on training the next generation, unless the next generation's talent is truly exceptional and worth the investment.

Even within wizarding families, they focus on nurturing one or two exceptionally talented offspring, while the others are cruelly abandoned and sent to a special mortal settlement established by the family to serve the wizarding clan and live ordinary lives.

Furthermore, the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council considers that resources are finite, and wizards have long lifespans. If the number of offspring is not controlled, the wizarding world will inevitably suffer from severe resource shortages, and the rate of regeneration will not be able to keep up with the wizards' consumption, which would be detrimental to the progress of wizarding civilization. Therefore, there are now special laws to restrict wizards' reproduction.

The wars waged by the wizard civilization against other civilizations in the past were essentially due to the expansion of the wizard population, which required new worlds to obtain resources. Every time the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council conquered a new plane, it would open up some wizard birth quotas for a short period of time for the pioneering and colonization of the new world, and so on.

It's truly rare for someone like Green to have five children; he must have had to pay a hefty fine. No wonder he needs so many Naga blessings.

"Okay, I agree to your request. My name is Li Wei, a registered pharmacist from the Gray Tower. Let's sign the contract now."

Li Wei said that playing word games with contract terms was one of his strengths in his previous life, but Green was a good person and quite honest, so Li Wei naturally wouldn't resort to those tricks.

Then he took out a contract stone tablet, and he and Green agreed on the terms and signed the contract with their spiritual imprints. Once the contract was signed, neither party could violate it, and the consequence of violating it would be that their soul would be devoured.

In this way, both sides are happy.

Li Wei obtained the recipe for the Six Gods Flower Elixir. In addition, Li Wei used another Naga Blessing to directly exchange for twenty sets of materials for refining the Six Gods Flower Elixir from Grin, so that Li Wei would not have to spend a long time searching for materials.

Green also agreed that he could continue to sell Li Wei some materials for the Six God Flower Medicine in the future.

In this way, Li Wei's problem with meditation aids is completely solved. At least until the second ring, Li Wei no longer needs to worry about the issue of potions. Moreover, this Six God Flower Elixir can also play a significant role in the second ring stage.

"I'm off. Mission accomplished. The rest of the event is no longer my concern." Levi took a stroll around. The event was spectacular; Winnie was even sparring with someone in the arena. Mylene was chatting and catching up with her old friends, but Levi didn't like joining in the fun. He just wanted to go home and gain experience in medicine making.

Li Wei said goodbye to Mai Lin and the others, then boarded the Leviathan and left first. Given Mai Lin's methods, Li Wei wasn't worried about their safety or their journey home.

Back on Blackfire Island, Li Wei took out the Six Gods Flower Elixir and began to refine it. He was now an eighth-level alchemist, already at the level of a first-level senior alchemist. Although the Six Gods Flower Elixir was more difficult to refine than the Sleep Demon Elixir, it was still only a first-level elixir, so Li Wei could easily master it.

A month later, the Sea and Sky Gathering came to a perfect end, and Mylene and Winnie returned to the Gray Tower, and District 9 returned to its former peace.

After failing once, Li Wei successfully refined the first Six God Flower Elixir.

After taking it, he entered a meditative state using the Sun Meditation Method. Because of Blackfire Island, the meditation method that Li Wei is currently progressing through the fastest is the Sun Meditation Method.

After completing one round of meditation, Li Wei checked his proficiency panel. Sure enough, it was similar to the potion description; it was also a first-level meditation aid potion, but this Six Gods Flower Elixir was much more potent than the Sleep Potion.

And so, Li Wei began his spiritual practice of making medicine while simultaneously taking it.

A month later, Li Wei had finished refining all twenty potion materials he had obtained from Green, with a very good success rate, producing a total of fifteen doses of Six God Flower Potion.

With the aid of the Six Gods Flower Elixir, the Sun Meditation and Earth Meditation techniques began to rise rapidly again, especially the Sun Meditation, which took the lead due to the level two fire element power of Blackfire Island.

Life was peaceful and serene. During Li Wei's trip, his companions from the Gray Tower were all doing well. Li Wei also learned that in Hotwind City, the master of the Crimson Tower, Klaus, was still at large, as was his lover, the Crimson Witch.

The Green Forest Witch simply hired a large wizard ship to move the Green Forest Tower away from Hotwind City, and went off to cultivate somewhere unknown, disappearing without a trace.

Thus, the Pharmacist Association of District 8 also declared bankruptcy. Ultimately, the headquarters of the Pharmacist Association decided to integrate the Pharmacist Associations of Districts 7, 8, 9, and 10 into the Pharmacist Association of District 7, which is the Vaum family, one of the three great wizard families of the Wasteland Continent. This family is mainly based on the Storm faction, and its patriarch is a genuine third-circle Pharmacist.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During the two years, Li Wei and Green maintained close trading relations. In order to refine the Six God Flower Elixir, the 30,000 Tai Shi he had saved up were spent like water. Although he also had income from the Warhammer Restaurant, it was still not enough to cover the expenses.

The year 1034 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Vitality.

The herbs on Blackfire Island thrived under the care of the Cloud and Rain Smoke Formation and the swordsmen and mantises.

The bone serpent Ego lazily basked in the sun, living a very comfortable life. In Hell, he had to worry about being eaten by powerful beings, but here he was enjoying himself immensely.

The seventh generation of scarab larvae are almost adults. Scarabs have a relatively short growth cycle and lifespan, but because they reproduce at a reasonable rate, there is no need to worry about their numbers. They are slowly moving towards 10,000.

Inside the Blackfire Cave, after completing a round of the Sun Meditation Technique, Li Wei felt a surge of energy within his mind, and he opened his eyes, quickly placing his hand on the Klein Crystal.

"Mental Strength: 30"

"Spell Power: 560"

……

"30 points of mental strength."

"Before I knew it, I turned 44."

After his mental strength reached the 30-point mark, Li Wei's eyes seemed to become more profound. He stood up, radiating the mental strength fluctuations befitting a senior wizard.

Then he opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei————

Solar Meditation: Level 5 (23/30000)

……

"If I'm already a veteran of the First Ring Road, how far can the Second Ring Road be?" Li Wei said confidently.

12000 words today, plus an extra 6000 words.
