Chapter 183 The Binding Ring, Capturing the Fire Element! (2nd update! 5000 words, please vote!)

Blackfire Island.

Joman's mouth was agape, and the snake's chin was almost falling to the ground.

Li Wei's figure crashed to the ground with a loud thud, raising a cloud of dust.

His body began to deflate, and at the same time, that familiar feeling of hunger struck. Li Wei immediately poured all the food he had prepared into his mouth.

Li Wei sat up contentedly only after emptying a storage bag, still in a weakened state due to the use of the Crimson Lotus Blood.

The armored scorpions swarmed forward, feasting on the witch's soul and flesh.

With the soul and flesh of a second-circle wizard, Li Wei felt that these little guys would soon undergo another transformation.

If it weren't for the fact that the Mark of Hell couldn't turn a second-ring being into a living dead, Li Wei would definitely have left this woman with a complete corpse; it wouldn't have been so cruel.

"Yorman, stay here for a few days, then go back. I need you." Levi patted Yorman's head.

He needed Joelman to protect him during these vulnerable days.

Joelman nodded and used the cold air from his body to freeze a large piece of floating ice, which he then coiled on the ice.

It is a frost-type extraordinary creature and doesn't particularly like the heat of Blackfire Island.

With Joelman's protection, Levi felt much more at ease.

Li Wei then turned his gaze to the flickering fire elemental spirit. At this moment, the fire elemental spirit, like the evil spirit whose spirit body had been scattered, was clearly in a weakened state. Its worldview had collapsed. The monster in front of it actually ignored its proud fire-type magic abilities.

"You're not running away? What's the meaning of this? You want to fight, don't you?" Li Wei said calmly.

A level one fire elemental spirit already possesses intelligence comparable to a human child, and since it is a witch's pet, it should be able to understand its meaning.

However, this guy was clearly stuck in place, at a loss, too afraid to run or fight.

It wanted to run away, but the fiery red witch possessed its [Spirit Binding Ring], a special magical artifact that could forcibly enslave extraordinary creatures.

Seeing that the fire elemental spirit wasn't running away, Li Wei was also puzzled. He told Joelman to keep an eye on the guy, while he went to the place where the Scarlet Witch had died and took out a silver bracelet from a pile of flesh and blood.

"It's this?"

"I thought this woman was using a psychic spell like the [Nature's Secrets] to control the fire elemental spirit, but I didn't expect her to be using the [Spirit Binding Ring]."

If Li Wei hadn't gained some understanding of the common knowledge of the spiritual school in order to learn the spell of natural language, he would never have known about this unorthodox magical artifact, the Ring of Binding Spirits.

This magical artifact has only one function: after defeating and subduing a supernatural being, it can forcibly form a contract with a supernatural being whose cultivation level does not exceed its own.

A Spirit Binding Ring can only bind one extraordinary creature, and even the lowest-level first ring costs as much as seven or eight thousand Tai Shi, which is ten times the price of a regular first-ring witch artifact! The price of this witch artifact is in no way inferior to that of a second-ring witch artifact.

Moreover, in the Azure Realm, they are basically not for sale, and you can't buy them even if you want to.

Because the materials required for this kind of magical artifact are extremely precious, the cost of making it is very high.

Generally speaking, it is the elders of those spiritualist wizarding families who prepare this item for the younger generation they value most. After all, having a Spirit Binding Ring is equivalent to having an extra one-ring extraordinary creature helper out of thin air.

"I wonder where this woman found these precious things."

Levi himself was completely unaware of the Scarlet Witch's identity, only knowing that she was Dog's accomplice, a subordinate of Crow, and likely a fugitive dark wizard in exile.

He didn't know that the Scarlet Witch had once been Crowe's mistress, and that many of her good things were given to her by Crowe.

He put away the Spirit Binding Ring, erased the Scarlet Witch's spiritual imprint, and replaced it with his own.

Then, looking at the bewildered and frightened fire elemental spirit, he said, "From now on, you will live if you serve me as your master; otherwise, I will annihilate you!"

The fire elemental spirit nodded frantically.

Seeing this, Li Wei nodded in satisfaction and smiled, trying to appear as amiable as possible.

"I don't know if you have a name, but I'll give you a nice name. You can call yourself Ace."

Ace nodded like a chick pecking at rice; from now on, Li Wei would be his master.

"Very good, Blackfire Island's Extraordinary Biological Park has gained another great general. Now our members include Ego, the Poisonous Fire Bone Serpent from the Hell Plane, and Leviathan, the Dragon King Whale from the Endless Sea. We come from all corners of the world, and it is fate that we have gathered together. From now on, Leviathan will be your eldest brother, Ego will be your second brother, and Ace will be your third brother. You must get along well and not cause me any trouble," Li Wei said.

Now that Li Wei has more and more pets under his command, it's necessary to rank them according to seniority.

In terms of seniority, although Leviathan is not as strong as Ace, Leviathan made great contributions to Levi, so he is naturally the eldest brother!

Hearing that he seemed to be the elder brother, Leviathan sprayed water from a distance, quite pleased with himself. It seemed he was thinking to himself, "I served Leviathan, I shed blood for Leviathan."

The flame beads in Igor's eye sockets swirled, as if he were thinking of something to please Li Wei. This bone serpent from the hellish plane was extremely clever and cunning.

Ace's arrival gave it a great sense of crisis. It felt that its important position, second only to Leviathan, had been greatly affected. Although it was the second brother, it was obvious that Ace, the third brother, was far superior to it in both talent and strength. It was only because it had arrived earlier that it was able to become the second brother.

Ignoring Ego's ulterior motives, Li Wei sent Ace to the underground magma to recover from his injuries. Fire elemental spirits are completely elemental beings, so they cannot suffer fatal wounds. As long as there is abundant fire elemental power, Ace can recover quickly.

Moreover, Blackfire Island is clearly suitable for Ace's growth, and there might even be a chance for him to advance to a level two fire elemental spirit in the future. In that case, Ace would have combat power comparable to a level two wizard. Of course, the advancement time for a fire elemental spirit is very long. If Li Wei's realm stops at the level of a first-ring wizard, he might die of old age before it has successfully advanced.

"It's a pity I don't have the blueprints and materials for crafting the Spirit Binding Ring, otherwise I could make more of these things and use them to subdue those extraordinary creatures in the future."

After settling Ace in, Li Wei checked his island and found everything was normal. The herb garden and the insect breeding room were both safe and sound, which reassured him. It seemed that the witch wanted to take over his island, so she hadn't touched anything on it. Otherwise, Li Wei would have suffered a great loss.

After cleaning up the battlefield, putting away the witch's storage bag, and tidying up the traces of the battle, he slept soundly for a day and a night under the protection of Yoman and Ace. He was a little exhausted after fighting that damned witch...

He used almost all of his strength and trump cards to kill a second-circle wizard. Although the opponent seemed to be in an unstable state, he was still a genuine second-circle wizard.

Of course, Levi wouldn't have done something so dangerous without Joelman's support. He only rushed forward without hesitation because he knew Joelman was a reliable snake behind him.

"The Black Gold Scales are indeed powerful, actually able to withstand the attack of five fireballs. The combined power of five fireballs is much stronger than the Great Fireball. This is a genuine second-level spell attack."

Of course, it wasn't completely blocked. The power of the five fireballs' explosion was too fierce, directly blasting off a layer of Li Wei's scales and forcing out his rock body. With his rock body, Li Wei's vital internal organs were completely unharmed; only his body surface was charred. For other wizards, this would be a fatal wound.

For Li Wei, this was "a mere fatal wound".

With Blood Ember's powerful regeneration and self-healing abilities, these superficial wounds can be repaired almost instantly.

Therefore, even the five fireballs fired at point-blank range didn't kill Li Wei.

This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Scarlet Witch's spirit. She couldn't imagine what kind of monster could withstand the explosive power of the core area of ​​a Five Fireball spell. Apart from second-ring extraordinary creatures known for their defense, such as that damned Sea Dragon Crocodile, ordinary extraordinary creatures would be severely injured, if not killed, by this Five Fireball spell.

In the end, this second-circle wizard, Crow's lover, died on the run.

"I can't be arrogant. I'm still struggling to deal with second-ring wizards. But in two years, when the Golden Serpent advances to the twelfth rank, I should be able to fight against ordinary second-ring wizards without Joelman's help."

After resting, Li Wei took out the storage bag he had obtained from the woman and began to count the contents. After looking at it, his face darkened.

"How can he be so poor? Only three thousand taels of silver? Is this a second-ring wizard?"

"Damn it, not even a second-ring witch artifact. I went through all this trouble, what a piece of junk. This woman has no concept of saving money."

Finally, Li Wei tragically discovered that the most valuable things this woman possessed seemed to be the Soul-Binding Ring and the Level 1 Fire Elemental Spirit.

During the years the Scarlet Witch was being hunted, she had almost exhausted the contents of her storage bag in order to heal her wounds and evade her enemies. Even her second-circle witch artifact was completely damaged in a battle with the enforcers and detonated by her, allowing her to escape.

So the Scarlet Witch, though a second-circle wizard, is not as wealthy as many first-circle wizards. She is in a sorry state, her former glory as Crow's mistress is gone, and now she has died at the hands of Levi. Her beauty is short-lived, and so it is.

"Forget it, one shouldn't be too greedy. One fire elemental spirit is enough."

Besides being used in combat, the Fire Elemental Spirit is also a mobile "forging furnace." Because it is essentially a mobile, sentient flame, some ancient craftsmen, alchemists, and alchemists would aim to possess their own Fire Elemental Spirit to save themselves a lot of trouble.

Furthermore, the Fire Elemental Spirit can possess powerful alchemical creatures, serving as their power source and providing ample fire elemental power, thus saving a considerable amount of Taishi.

Thinking about it this way, Li Wei felt much better, and his depression vanished.

He and his crew will return from the Yellow Earth Continent to refine that one-ring alchemical creature, the Corpse Digger.

This will be Li Wei's ultimate weapon against second-circle wizards before he advances to the second circle. Together with himself, the two giant killing monsters will be enough to resist second-circle wizards.

The power of the Corpse Digger is naturally due to its high cost of construction and fuel. The energy consumed by this massive creature weighing tens of tons in full combat is far beyond that of a lightweight alchemical creature like the Swordsman Mantis. It may consume hundreds of Tai Stones in a single battle, which is undoubtedly burning money.

But now that we have Ace, as long as Levi fills Ace with fire elemental power in the underground fire beneath Blackfire Island beforehand, Ace can be used as a "portable power source." During battle, Ace can be integrated into the Corpse Digger's furnace to generate energy instead of burning the Taishi.

The amount of silver that Li Wei could save would, in the long run, be a huge sum of money.

After Li Wei had rested, he didn't waste any more time. He told Yoman to return to the Gray Tower on his own. The Tower Master was about to enter the Hell Plane, and the Gray Tower needed Yoman to guard it to prevent some people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the situation.

As for Blackfire Island, Li Wei left only the Rock Troll couple and the Bone Serpent Ego to guard the island.

He brought Ace along, as well as the other five members of the Demon Clan. This trip to the Yellow Earth Continent in the Seventh District was different from the past. It was a place with a combined strength greater than the Eighth and Ninth Districts combined, which also meant that there might be more powerful enemies. Therefore, he had to bring more undead with him, since preserving his own life was the most important thing.

You can buy another house if you lose it, but if a person is gone, they're really gone.

Once everything was ready, Levi left home aboard the Leviathan.

The main purpose of this trip to the Yellow Earth Continent is to subdue as many extraordinary creatures as possible that can provide him with secret medicines. This way, after returning, Li Wei can focus on practicing the Knight Breathing Technique and strive to reach the twelfth rank as soon as possible.

As Li Wei passed by the area where the Sea Dragon Crocodile had been, he sensed it from a distance again. Sure enough, the Sea Dragon Crocodile was still in the same place. This reassured Li Wei, so he didn't disturb it and took a longer route to leave quickly.

The distance from District 9 to District 7 required traversing the entire District 8. Li Wei traveled day and night, relying on advanced vibration perception, spider sense, and the Black Serpent's Letter to avoid potential dangers. In the end, he crossed District 8 safely in less than a month and entered District 7.

The Loess Continent is located at the junction of the Ninth District of the Outer Ring Sea and the Sixth District of the Inner Ring Sea.

Levi's idea was to go to Lion City first, find Dinos, and visit the Joestar family's city.

Of course, most importantly, Li Wei wanted to ask Dinos to use some of his family's resources to help him find the whereabouts of the Colin family. He hadn't forgotten the Tower Master's mission; the secret realm would open in two months, and he needed to find the Colin family members before he could enter.

The Secret Realm is similar to the Ghost Realm; both are essentially part of the Realm of the Believers, and are subdimensional planes of this world.

However, the reason why secret realms are secret realms is that they are fixed and have all been modified by wizards, turning them into the backyards of powerful wizards. Wizards regularly obtain resources in secret realms for cultivation, and conflicts also break out because of secret realms. A large part of the wizard wars in history were for the struggle for ownership of secret realms.

As far as Li Wei knew, mid-level or high-level wizard organizations in the inner sea area often controlled more than one entrance to a secret realm.

But what he didn't expect was that the Colin family, this declining little family, also secretly controlled an entrance to a secret realm.

He pondered that if the family's strength wasn't that great, he would find a way to seize the secret realm. If he could own a secret realm, even a small one, Li Wei wouldn't have to worry about many resources. It would be like Li Wei owning his own logistical reserve base.

The Tower Master was too merciful. He couldn't bring himself to harm his wife's family because of his pride. Li Wei, on the other hand, didn't care who the other party was. In any case, the Tower Master had said that Li Wei could be "coerced" or "bribed," which was equivalent to telling Li Wei that he could use any means necessary to achieve his goal.

……

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

Li Wei finally saw the yellow earth continent.

Looking into the distance, the border of the mainland can be faintly seen.

Leviathan waited for him nearby, and Leviathan went to the mainland alone.

As soon as Li Wei stepped into this place, he felt a heavy aura rushing towards him. It was the power of earth element. Practicing the meditation methods and spells of the earth school here would definitely be twice as effective.

Because Dinos had given Liwei a map of the Yellow Earth Continent beforehand, Liwei quickly headed towards Lion King City after asking the local mortals about his location.

He possessed blood wings, allowing him to fly like a bird and travel at an extraordinary speed. Although the Yellow Earth Continent was called a continent, it was actually just a larger island, and its span was far less than the distance Li Wei had covered from the Ninth District to the Seventh District.

When Li Weifei got tired, he would find a safe place for Ace and the others to protect him while he practiced the Earth Meditation Technique. Once he was rested, he would continue on his way.

Because Li Wei's Earth Meditation Technique was already just one step away from the fifth level, he broke through to the next level on the second day.

Li Wei————

Earth Meditation Method: Level 5 (1/30000)

……

Now only the Deep Sea, Night Raven, and Furnace Meditation methods are still at level four. Li Wei isn't in a hurry. Anyway, he only needs to ensure that he can quickly cultivate at least one meditation method. He can improve his wizard level first, and then slowly work on the other meditation methods.

Three days later, Li Wei saw the port city on the distant coastline, the Lion King City, which lay dormant like a lion.

Who would have thought that such a colossal city would originate from a legendary knight who was insignificant in the wizarding world?
