Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 187 A Triumphant Return! The Black Knight! (Long Chapter, Please Vote!)

Li Wei picked up the storage bag, put away the Armored Scorpion and the Undead, and used a large fireball to destroy the crime scene.

He then quickly left the area. Shortly after Li Wei left, a pair of large, hairy hands emerged from the spatial rift, and after a moment's hesitation...

The giant ape crawled out of the secret realm, breathing in the fresh air and feeling the different atmosphere, revealing an excited expression.

Then, without looking back, he chased after Li Wei.

I'm not staying in this secret realm anymore!

Li Wei, who was flying ahead, suddenly changed his expression.

"Damn it, I forgot about that giant ape. It's really persistent."

Li Wei flapped his wings desperately, but he was already no match for the giant ape. Now, with the Crimson Lotus Blood weakened, it was even more impossible for him to win.

And so, the man and the ape ran wildly across the wilderness.

The next day.

Ultimately, the flying Li Wei was superior. When he got tired, he would use magic and the teleportation technique that came with the magical artifact to fly, or have Ace carry him, and then continue to use Bloodwing after he had rested.

Finally, they got rid of that big guy completely.

Li Wei flew for another day.

After finding a quiet place and setting up a magic array, he collapsed to the ground.

"I'm exhausted."

"What's going on with the Colin family?"

"Logically speaking, no other force should know about the secret realm, otherwise the Colin family would have been wiped out long ago."

Li Wei lay on the ground, utterly perplexed.

He can't be harmed without knowing why; he needs to at least know who is targeting him so he can better respond.

However, since it was time to rest, Li Wei didn't think about anything else.

After three days and three nights, under the protection of Ace and the others, Levi slept soundly and replenished his energy and potions.

His wounds had long since healed, and he was perfectly fine now.

This is the effect of the legendary physique; as long as it's not a fatal injury, it won't take long to heal.

Li Wei hid in the temporary shelter, taking out the contents of the three wizard storage bags to see what spoils he had, and hoping to find some clues about the mastermind behind it all.

After the final inventory was completed, Li Wei was overjoyed.

The three wizards together possessed nearly 20,000 taels of silver.

That second-ring wizard alone has 15,000 taels.

Li Wei silently put it away, and that was that.

After his Taishi reserves were depleted so much in Lion King City and by the Colin family, they have returned to 30,000...

It feels so good to have so much money that you can't spend it all.

"Making medicine is just for fun; to really make money, I need the black wizard to deliver it to me," Li Wei couldn't help but complain.

Besides the Tai Shi, there was also a meditation method from the Burning School that Li Wei had never seen before.

The Black Sun Meditation Method.

"The Black Sun Meditation Method... This meditation method feels somewhat related to the Black Sun Tower or the Black Sun Adam."

The moment Li Wei saw this meditation method, he suddenly had a connection.

Because most wizards of the Burning School use solar meditation.

This is a meditation method where it's relatively easy to find advanced content. The Sun Meditation Method is divided into eleven chapters, corresponding to the apprentice stage, wizarding levels one through nine, and the legendary chapter. These items can be purchased from the Burning Faction as long as you have the money.

Moreover, the Sun Meditation Method has been proven through practice to be able to reach the legendary level, after all, the Fiery Sun God Witch Emon practiced the Sun Meditation Method.

Li Wei had never heard of the Black Sun Meditation Method before.

"Anyway, I'm not going to learn that stuff; the solar meditation method is enough."

Li Wei put away the Black Sun Meditation Technique. This meditation technique also has corresponding spells, such as the Black Flame Technique and Black Fire Spear used by the Black Flame Boss. These second-ring spells are quite powerful, and one must practice the Black Sun Meditation Technique to use them.

However, Li Wei had already made up his mind to stick with the fireball spell, so he didn't want to learn any other spells.

He also didn't want to specifically practice a meditation method that seemed to be related to a dark wizard just to learn these unorthodox spells.

In addition, Li Wei also found three magical artifacts.

The two first-ring wizards each possessed a first-ring wizarding artifact, which Li Wei, with his current level of understanding, didn't even consider worthwhile. He simply put them away to sell on the black market later.

The only thing that excited him was a black, longsword-shaped magical artifact he found on the second-ring wizard, covered with dense and mysterious magical runes.

With his current level of knowledge, Li Wei couldn't identify what this magical artifact was, nor did he know how to use it.

He plans to find a professional artifact appraiser later to help him determine how to use this thing.

Finally, besides a whole bunch of different materials, Li Wei also found something familiar.

That secret realm key.

In Li Wei's hand was a transparent crystal ball, inside which the white tornado had disappeared.

This means that the entrance to the secret realm has been closed.

"It seems this secret realm key doesn't require a spell. Anyway, I'll keep it for now and study it later. If that secret realm can only be opened once every two hundred years, this key won't be of much use to me, but at least it'll give me something to look forward to."

"But since the key to the secret realm is here, it seems that Yuko and Linda have most likely died at the hands of these mysterious black-robed wizards. As for Black Sun Flame, I need to ask Dinos if he has heard of it."

In the end, Li Wei summarized his journey to the secret realm, finding it very rewarding.

The Seven-Day Resurrection Grass, once acquired, is of immeasurable value.

I spent 8,000 yuan on a ticket, but ended up recouping my investment with at least 30,000 yuan worth of medicinal materials.

The spoils included 15,000 Taishi and a second-ring witch artifact whose usage was unknown. Even the worst second-ring witch artifact would cost at least 5,000 Taishi.

There are other miscellaneous items as well, which are also worth a lot of money.

In addition, there is the head of the black-robed wizard who is suspected to be a dark wizard, but Li Wei does not plan to use it to claim the bounty for the time being.

Firstly, it's unreasonable for a first-ring wizard like myself to be able to deal with a second-ring wizard; it would make me an easy target for others.

Secondly, the matter is still unclear, and Li Wei does not want to be exposed to the public eye.

"No matter what, we made a killing this time."

"I wonder where that giant ape ran off to. I hope it's not dead. I'll come to the Yellow Earth Continent after I reach the second ring and take you down, you monster."

Li Wei was preoccupied with the giant ape that resembled Happes.

He suspected that Happes might be a descendant of the giant ape's own kind who had been lost to the human world; otherwise, they looked too alike and were both of the Frost element.

From now on, Li Wei's practice of the Giant Breathing Technique will depend on this giant ape.

For safety consideration.

Li Wei stayed in the shelter for a few more days.

Until the period of weakness passes and his strength returns to its peak.

He headed towards the sea of ​​quicksand.

After subduing the Red Sand Ape and the Red Fire Dragon Lizard, Li Wei can successfully complete his journey to the Yellow Earth Continent and return to his safe Blackfire Island as soon as possible.

District 7 is too dangerous.

……

A few days later.

News spread that a first-ring wizard family in the western region, whose ancestors had produced a second-ring powerhouse, had been wiped out by a dark wizard.

The Black Sun Fireworks organization has once again been thrust into the spotlight.

When the enforcers of the Tower of Stars arrived, only the raging black flames testified to everything that had happened there.

A young trainee law enforcement officer, his face contorted with anger, exclaimed, "This is outrageous! Completely lawless!"

An elderly Second Ring Road law enforcement officer next to him took a puff of his pipe, coughed, and said, "You're still too young. You'll get used to it after you've seen more."

The two law enforcement officers who were sent here to investigate were, respectively, the older one being the teacher and the younger one the apprentice.

"This is the eighth time Black Sun Fireworks has committed this crime in the past ten years, and each time it is more heinous than the last. I think it is necessary to call in high-ranking law enforcement officers to investigate and bring these villains to justice," the young law enforcement officer said, his anger burning.

"What are you thinking? High-ranking law enforcement officers are busy with countless affairs. You think you can get involved in such a trivial matter in the outer ring area?" the old wizard said helplessly.

"But...is no one going to do anything about it?" the young wizard said dejectedly.

"Be content. Before the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council was established, do you know how chaotic the wizarding world was? It's much better now. Human nature is selfish, and many wizards are evil thugs at heart."

You've just joined the company, you'll get used to it after you've seen more of it. Does the Black Sun Flame organization really have no backing that has allowed it to operate with impunity in the Yellow Earth Continent for so long?

Hehe, we caught the little shrimp, but there are still big fish to catch, and even bigger fish after the big fish. When the fish get big enough, the nets won't be enough...

"Is the Ashdie family behind this?" the young man suddenly asked.

"What? I didn't say that. Don't make wild guesses. Report the case here in a few days and see if you can get the higher-ups involved."

……

In Skyfire City.

The Eshidi family.

The Wizard Tower of the Flame Prince.

Lehman's face was grim, his eyes filled with firelight, and golden flames rose into the void.

Between his eyebrows, one could vaguely see the phantom of a fire demon with wings on its back, resembling a bat.

"Leylin is dead..."

Lehman possesses the Soul Jade of Lehlin.

Therefore, Leylin sensed it when he died.

But Lehman didn't dare go over.

He feared that his enemies or law enforcers were using Leylin's death as bait to lure him out.

"The Colin family has been destroyed, so it's impossible for them to kill Leylin. There are only three possibilities for Leylin's death: one is that he died among the second-ring creatures in the secret realm; two is that he died at the hands of the enforcers of the Tower of Stars; and finally, there is a small probability that he died at the hands of that Levi, although that is unrealistic."

Just you wait, I will thoroughly investigate this matter. I don't care about other places, but the person who dared to kill me on the Yellow Earth Continent, especially my own brother, will not let this go.

Although Lehman had more than just Lehlin's pair of black gloves, Lehlin, being his younger brother, was quite capable and naturally the one he was most comfortable using.

Lehling had never failed in his work before, which is why Lehman entrusted this matter to him.

Who could have imagined that this would cost Leylin his life?

……

The sea of ​​quicksand.

The culprit behind Leylin's murder, Li Wei, is circling over the desert.

Relying on his superior eyesight and perception, he has located a small tribe of red sand apes, consisting of about five red sand apes, four adults and one juvenile.

Each Red Sand Ape tribe has a strongest leader. Li Wei looked at them and was somewhat disappointed.

There was no mutant he was expecting.

"Just grab the strongest contract at random..."

He swooped down, accelerated, and crashed into the tribe.

The earthquake trembled, and smoke and dust filled the air.

The members of the Red Sand Ape tribe were lazily picking lice off their companions until the dust settled.

They discovered that the leader in the center was nowhere to be found.

High in the sky, Li Wei held the Crimson Sand Ape leader, who he had kicked unconscious, with a relaxed expression.

With his current strength, he can barely kill a second-ring being, let alone these first-ring extraordinary creatures.

This Crimson Sand Ape is not very big, only about four meters tall. It is a little bigger than the Great Ice Ape King, but compared to the Secret Realm Giant Ape, it is tiny.

Li Wei estimated that the giant ape in the secret realm was even close to the strength of a second-ring senior wizard.

Find a deserted place.

Li Wei used the chains he had prepared beforehand to bind the Red Sand Ape leader tightly, and while it was unconscious, Li Wei immediately began to cast the Natural Story.

With his level of cultivation, forming a contract with this leader would not be difficult.

Not long after, a green leaf pattern appeared on the forehead of the Red Sand Ape leader.

Li Wei knew that the spell of Nature's Tale had been successfully cast.

He successfully made a contract with the leader.

When the leader of the Red Sand Apes woke up.

First came confusion, and then I pondered the meaning of life as an ape.

I was basking in the sun at home, humming a song, enjoying the worship and service of the female apes.

How did I suddenly get knocked unconscious by a big black chicken foot that fell from the sky?

The power of the contract in the story of nature made it feel as if its life was connected with the man in front of it.

"I'll call you Reed from now on," Li Wei said with a smile.

The leader of the Red Sand Apes immediately prostrated himself down.

"Wo wo wo wo," it cried, indicating its agreement.

The Red Sand Monkey is highly intelligent and has a good learning ability.

This was also the first time Li Wei had used the Natural Language. A close connection had been established between him and the Red Sand Ape, through which he could command the Red Sand Ape to do certain things.

However, he could sense that this connection was not very strong and seemed to require him to maintain it frequently.

The Tale of Nature is completely different from my Blood Pact; the Blood Pact is utter enslavement and loyalty!

The contracts in Natural Tales are similar to affinity levels; they need to be constantly increased through interactions, which is undoubtedly a time-consuming process.

That's why psychics choose a natal beast and focus on cultivating a bond and training it.

After subduing the Red Sand Ape, Li Wei went to the Black Flame Mountains again. Because it was the territory of the Aisidi family, Li Wei searched very carefully and cautiously, not letting his guard down at all. In addition, the Red Fire Dragon Lizard was elusive, and Li Wei did not gain anything in the first week.

But Li Wei was patient; he had come all this way to the Yellow Earth Continent, and he was determined to bring this guy back with him.

So he waited for another full month.

They eventually found a Crimson Fire Dragon Lizard, and Li Wei grabbed it and gave it a good beating, leaving the lizard unable to take care of itself.

After being bound hand and foot, he hoisted the Crimson Fire Dragon Lizard onto his shoulder and left the Black Flame Mountains overnight.

The Crimson Dragon Lizard is seven or eight meters long and exudes a scorching aura. It can breathe out crimson flames, which are not as powerful as Li Wei's Crimson Lotus Breath, but are still quite formidable.

However, because this thing was too big to fit inside the insect house, Li Wei had to have the Red Sand Ape and himself carry it. It took them half a month to cross mountains and valleys and finally reach the seaside.

However, neither the Red Fire Dragon Lizard nor the Red Sand Ape can swim, and the Insect House cannot accommodate them.

Even Leviathan couldn't move so many big guys.

Helpless, Li Wei contacted Dinos and learned that Dinos was about to set off for District 9 in a few days.

In this way, Li Wei took advantage of the situation.

Three days later, the Moon Ship set sail from Lion King City, heading towards District 9.

Inside the cabin, the Red Sand Ape and Ace guarded the unruly Red Fire Dragon Lizard.

The Red Fire Dragon Lizard's mouth was already fitted with an iron bridle; otherwise, if its breath destroyed Dinos's ship, Levi wouldn't be able to afford the compensation.

Dinos stared incredulously at the ship full of magical creatures.

"Lord Levi, you wouldn't happen to be a scholar of supernatural animal research, would you...?" Dinos said.

Li Wei nodded: "Pretty much. I'm the kind of person who enjoys studying extraordinary beings."

"I see. Impressive. I know the strength of the Crimson Fire Dragon Lizard. You were able to capture it alive with such ease. I admire you." Dinos exclaimed sincerely.

Although Li Wei kept a low profile, Dinos knew that the man before him was terrifying and unfathomable.

In the blink of an eye, he could kill a first-ring veteran dark wizard. This level of strength should be very close to that of a second-ring wizard.

And Li Wei wasn't much older than him. He, a so-called genius of one of the three great families, had really wasted his life.

"By the way, Dinos, have you ever heard of the Black Sun Fireworks organization?" Levi suddenly asked.

Dinos's expression hardened: "What's wrong? Did you run into people from Black Sun Flames?"

Dinos suddenly remembered that the Colin family had been wiped out by the Black Sun Fireworks a few days ago.

Levi had also investigated the Colin family a few months earlier.

It's unclear what Li Wei meant by asking this. Could it be that Li Wei was also involved in this matter? Dinos has no idea.

However, he believed that Levi had no connection with the Black Sun Fireworks organization.

Li Wei shook his head: "No, it's just that I overheard someone saying that in a tavern a few days ago."

"That's good. This organization is one of the well-known black wizard organizations on the Yellow Earth Continent. They often operate in the western region. Although I suspect that this organization is related to the Aisidi family, I don't dare to say anything without evidence," Dinos said.

Li Wei nodded. After all, the Joestar family and the Eshidi family did not have a good relationship, so Dinos's words inevitably carried a bit of personal subjectivity.

"By the way, a few days ago, the Colin family that you were investigating was wiped out. The killer was the Black Sun Flame you just asked about..." Dinos said, looking at Levi.

Li Wei's heart skipped a beat. This was indeed beyond his expectations. It seemed that the entry of those black wizards into the secret realm was not a coincidence, but rather a premeditated act.

"This organization is a bit too arrogant," Li Wei said. To slaughter an entire family in broad daylight is no small matter.

"Yes, any dark wizarding organization that can survive in the wizarding world has some kind of powerful backing," Dinos said.

"If Dinos knows anything more about the Black Sun Fireworks organization, you must tell me later. After all, the Colin family is also the family of our Tower Master's wife," Li Wei said calmly, gazing at the sea.

"Understood." Dinos nodded.

Having learned that Black Sun Fireworks might be related to the Ashdie family, Levi didn't ask any further questions.

He remembered that the tower master's wife, Stella, had refused to marry the current head of the Ashdie family, Reyman.

If that's the case, then there is indeed some grudge between the Ashdi family and the Gray Tower.

Therefore, after I, the wizard of the Gray Tower, went to the Colin family, perhaps an informant from the Aisidi family went to report to me.

Of course, these are all Li Wei's guesses. The real situation may not be what he imagined. The situation was so urgent at the time that he had no way to capture prisoners for questioning.

Moreover, given the methods employed by the Ashdie family, these people probably won't tell the truth.

"Forget it, I probably won't come to the Yellow Earth Continent before I reach the Second Ring anyway. No matter how far the Aisidi family's reach is, it's hard for them to extend into the Ninth District."

Along the way, Li Wei and Dinos would often chat on the deck when they weren't cultivating. Li Wei also learned a lot about the grudges and conflicts between the three major families of the Yellow Earth Continent from Dinos.

In general, the Joestar and Ashdie families are sworn enemies, and if it weren't for the constraints of the law, they might have already started the Third Ring Wizard War.

On the surface, the two sides seem to be doing nothing, but behind the scenes, they are engaged in a fierce struggle.

The Vaum family, a family belonging to the Storm faction, is relatively neutral, but still occasionally has some friction with the two major families. In short, the Yellow Earth Continent is roughly a three-way balance of power, with each side restraining the other.

Other smaller factions are more or less dependent on these three giants.

"Once I find out who framed me, I will settle this score with them one day," Li Wei thought to himself.

Dinos was in a good mood throughout the journey, because he felt that his interactions with Li Wei over the past few days were better than a month of solitary cultivation on his own.

Therefore, in order to achieve legendary status as soon as possible, Dinos decided to stay in the Ninth District for a longer period of time, so that he could spend more time with Lord Levi and learn more about the experience and techniques of legendary knights breaking through.

Li Wei, however, had already found a more suitable teacher for Dinos.

That was Emperor Mu.

Mu Di is incredibly poor. His wizarding talent is mediocre. After all these years, he has only barely managed to reach the level of a high-level wizard apprentice, which is far inferior to Li Wei's.

To save enough money for his journey and tuition to the School of Life, Emperor Mu worked himself to the bone every day.

Therefore, Li Wei decided to help his fellow member by giving Dinos, the landlord's foolish son, to Mudi, so that Mudi could become Dinos's tutor.

Mudi became a legendary knight through his own efforts, so he has more authority to speak on breaking through to legendary status than Levi. With Mudi teaching Dinos, the results will be excellent.

Furthermore, the Twilight Knights' team-building activities during the Flower Month each year could allow Dinos to participate and experience the battles of legendary knights.

Levi didn't want to take on apprentices, but he wanted to train Dinos into a true legendary knight. This would give his Twilight Knights a fresh bloodline, and also indirectly provide him with the powerful backing of the Joestar family.

……

The month of harvest in the year 1034 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

world.

Moonlit night.

The streets of the Flower City were peaceful and serene.

A patrolling soldier was dozing off against the city wall.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by, and a pair of bat wings seemed to obscure the moon.

A slender, humanoid monster, standing a full ten feet tall, descended from the sky, gently crushed the patrolling soldier's head, and poured it into its deformed maw.

"That's great, the juice from the mini bread is so delicious!"

The humanoid monster spoke in a hoarse, broken human language, but after it ate the heads of five humans in succession...

Its language became more and more fluent, and its body began to change, eventually transforming into a tall, thin young nobleman who was preparing to leave.

"So it was you, you bastard, who was causing all this trouble."

Andrew appeared here at some unknown time. His face was gloomy and his body was filled with fear, but he still stepped forward.

Recently, dozens of murders have occurred in the flower city, with the victims' heads being forcibly pulled off, which looks extremely cruel.

As a secondary vampire, Andrew naturally knew that it was the vampires who were responsible, so he patrolled intensively during this period and finally found the culprit.

A true... native vampire.

"You... are too weak. A second-generation secondary vampire, you'd better not meddle in other people's business," the original vampire sneered.

"If you don't wreak havoc on my city, I won't care even if you slaughter an entire city, but you shouldn't have come here." As Andrew walked, his figure changed, and in the blink of an eye, he revealed his true vampire form.

"Die!" Andrew roared and charged forward. His sudden attack caught the native vampire off guard, and he was pinned to the city wall by Andrew.

The original vampire chuckled: "Hahahaha, interesting. This overconfident fellow actually dares to attack me, Ante Lesenba."

Upon hearing the surname "Lesenba," Andrew's expression visibly changed instinctively.

"I don't care who you are, die!"

Two terrifying vampire monsters began to fight on the city wall, but Andrew was clearly no match for the powerful native vampires.

Aside from barely winning a move with a sneak attack at the beginning, Andrew was completely outmatched by this native vampire named Ant in every other aspect, including speed and strength.

With a loud bang.

There's a hole in the city wall.

Andrew was thrown out, flung a hundred meters away.

On the ground, Andrew was covered in blood and gore, but his body began to recover rapidly and was about to be fully restored.

However, in mid-air, the original vampire clearly wouldn't give Andrew that chance.

Its claws suddenly extended, just like those of a Wolverine.

Blood-red flames erupted from its claws, eerie and bewitching.

He wanted to utterly destroy Andrew, burn him to ashes, and make him never to be resurrected.

When a secondary vampire dies, they are completely and utterly dead.

Until a flash of cold light pierced the sky.

The Wolverine's claws were forcibly broken.

A crimson greatsword lay across Andrew and the native vampire. At the other end of the sword, Anderson smiled slightly: "Andrew, your cultivation is not yet sufficient. Don't try to be a hero in the future. Don't forget that your master doesn't want a dead Andrew."

"Elder!" Andrew immediately turned and left, flashing behind Anderson.

"Brad, you persistent ghost!" Clearly, this native vampire knew the Blood Knight.

"Ant, you [Demon Feast Alliance] shouldn't go too far. The Lesenba Clan and the Thorn Mystic Clan have been playing too much recently. Sooner or later, this will cause trouble for the vampires in the [Hidden Alliance] who are used to quiet cultivation. The Seven Kingdoms Church has already dispatched its true powerhouses to hunt down vampires in various places."

Because of your recklessness, we vampires, who only want to live peaceful lives, have been forced into this meaningless conflict. Is it worth it?

The Blood Knight questioned him in a cold voice.

"Blood Knight, you are nothing but a second-rate [inferior race]. You are not even a true vampire. What right do you have to speak ill of a noble vampire like me?"

Survival of the fittest, the strong reign supreme—these are the ironclad laws of the extraordinary world. Are weak humans simply our prey? What's wrong with us eating some food?

"So what if you're just a legendary knight? You really think I'm afraid of you? You've chased me this far, it's time I taught you a lesson."

Ant licked his bloody tongue.

Then, amidst a storm of blood and gore, they charged toward the Blood Knight.

Crackling and popping.

The sound of a blood-red longsword clashing with a Wolverine's claws echoed in the dark night.

The Blood Knight did not use his vampire abilities; he had been restraining himself all along!

Through correspondence with Li Wei, the Blood Knight gained a deeper understanding of legendary knights, and with his practice of the Blood Beast Breathing Technique, his strength improved slightly compared to before.

Facing a genuine native vampire, the Blood Knight remained fearless and fought to a draw.

"A blood feast!"

Seeing that he couldn't defeat the Blood Knight for a long time, Ant's body turned red, and his terrifying aura began to rise.

The Blood Knight's expression changed slightly, and with no other choice, he revealed his true form as a vampire.

Seeing this, Andrew went up to help.

Ultimately, even after unleashing the Blood Feast ability in its ultimate form, it was still unsuccessful.

Ant was shocked to discover that he was no match for these two lowly, inferior vampires.

That Blood Knight was even more terrifying than before.

"When did the legendary knight become so powerful?" Ant wondered to himself. He decided not to linger in the fight. A wise man knows when to retreat, and the best course of action was to flee.

He transformed into a crimson hurricane, repelling the Blood Knight and Andrew, before disappearing into the dense forest to escape.

boom!

It was accompanied by a loud roar.

The earth seemed to tremble.

A small patch of trees fell, raising dust and startling a few birds that were sleeping at night.

Not long after, Ant's screams echoed from the dense forest.

The Blood Knight smiled slightly, as if he had expected it, and calmly led Andrew inside.

In a clearing in the dense forest, a knight dressed in black armor, wearing a black cloak and a ghost mask, rode a handsome black-scaled warhorse.

Behind this mysterious knight, a five-meter-tall minotaur with wings on its back and horns on its head was panting heavily. The original vampire was held down firmly by the minotaur's large hand, unable to move even with its strength.

As the evil spirit exerted its power, the original vampire was torn to pieces. A violent black aura swept out, and in an instant, the vampire turned into a blood mist. A faint blood light could be seen shooting straight into the sky and disappearing without a trace.

"As expected, with the Blood River Will present, these native vampires really can't be killed," the mysterious knight said helplessly.

"Long time no see, Blood Knight Brad." He ignored the stunned Andrew and said to the Blood Knight.

"Black Knight Black, you've finally arrived," the Blood Knight laughed heartily. "By the way, from now on just call me Anderson. Let bygones be bygones."

"On behalf of the Vice Commander of the Twilight Knights and on behalf of Commander Li Wei, I welcome the Black Knight to join our Twilight Knights. From now on, we are all one family."

……

Meanwhile.

In the azure realm.

Li Wei had already returned to Blackfire Island.

Dinos, on the other hand, went to complete his own trade mission first, and then arranged to meet Levi at the Gray Tower.

Back on the island, Li Wei found a cave, placed the Crimson Fire Dragon Lizard inside, and chained it to a giant pillar.

"Ace, Reid, you two keep an eye on this guy."

Taming the Red Fire Dragon Lizard is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two; Li Wei needs time to patiently endure it.

After settling these extraordinary creatures, Li Wei inspected his Blackfire Island and found that it was no different from when he left.

It seems there have been no intruders during this period.

This relieved Li Wei.

If there were strangers in my house every time I came home, that would be terrible.

During this trip to the Yellow Earth Continent, Li Wei basically solved the problem of the secret medicines for the Sacred Ape Breathing Technique and the Red Lotus Breathing Technique. Next, he can start preparing the secret medicines.

However, now was not the time. After confirming that his house had not been burgled, Li Wei hurriedly rode the Leviathan to the Gray Tower.

He needed to hurry and deliver the Seven-Day Resurrection Grass to the Tower Master, hoping he hadn't delayed the Tower Master's affairs.

Once inside the tower, Li Wei saw Ms. Mai Lin on her way to class.

"You're back? Did it go smoothly?" Mylene asked with a smile.

"Everything is going well, teacher. Is the tower master here?"

"He hasn't come back yet." At this point, Mylene paused and called Levi into her room.

"You know the Tower Master went to the Hell dimension, right?" Mylene said.

"Yes, teacher, what's wrong?"

"The Tower Master has been in the Hellish Plane for three months and hasn't come out yet," Mylin said with a solemn expression.

"The Hell plane is very large; perhaps we were delayed on the way," Li Wei said.

Mylene sighed and said, "I hope so. Did your mission succeed?"

Li Wei nodded. So far, only Mai Lin and he knew what the Tower Master was doing; the other wizards were unaware of the situation.

"It's a success. This is the Seven-Day Resurrection Grass. Please give it to the Tower Master when he returns." Li Wei solemnly took out a small box and handed it to Mai Lin.

"Okay, we don't know how to enter the Hell Plane, and we're not strong enough to help the Tower Master. Sigh..." Mylene sighed.

"It's alright, teacher. I believe in the Tower Master, and I believe Stella will be resurrected," Li Wei said with a smile.

Suddenly, a scene flashed into his mind: two spherical alchemical creatures holding hands, a rather eerie image.

Mai Lin carefully put away the Seven-Day Resurrection Grass and placed it in the safest place.

Li Wei took the opportunity to catch up on the lessons he had missed in the tower over the next few days, and also went to Manra to collect some materials. His main goals in the short term were to master the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique to the twelfth level and to refine the Corpse Digger.

Success in either one would greatly enhance one's abilities.

In addition, Li Wei also saw the package that Andrew had mailed to him in the mailroom.

When he opened it, he found several breathing techniques and a letter written by old man Anderson.

After reading the letter, Li Wei's face lit up with joy.

"As expected of the Blood Knight, only an old relic like him could unearth those legendary knights hidden among the people."

"Black Knight Black, yet another renowned legendary knight has joined the Twilight Knights."

Li Wei was thrilled.

He once admired the Seven Legendary Shining Ones so much, and now he has recruited two of them.

Besides Snowflake Knight and Thousand-Faced Knight, Li Wei also knew the whereabouts of all the other legendary knights.

"So the legendary knight may not be dead, but has simply gone into seclusion, faked his death, or even entered the wizarding world to avoid conflict with the church."

Even with Anderson's discerning eye, he highly praised Knight Black's character, which made Levi feel quite reassured about his integrity.

"When Dinos also reaches the legendary level and inherits the title of Lionheart Knight, there will be five legends."

Happily putting away the letter, Li Wei returned to Blackfire Island with a satisfied heart.

In the days that followed, he began to prepare the Holy Ape Potion and the Red Lotus Potion.

Finally, after three months of experimentation, both potions were successfully refined.

After taking the Sacred Ape Potion, Li Wei mastered the Sacred Ape Breathing Technique to the sixth level in just one month!

The cultivation of the breathing technique up to the eleventh level was not difficult for Li Wei to begin with, and now with the high-end potions, his cultivation speed is like a rocket.

After consuming the extraordinary-level Red Lotus Elixir, the Crimson Lotus Breathing Technique also embarked on a fast track of cultivation, advancing relatively quickly towards the twelfth level.

Meanwhile, Li Wei also began preparing to refine the Corpse Digger. In his spare time, he traveled to all the markets near the Ninth District and eventually collected all the necessary materials.

The three arts of wizardry—magic arrays, artifact crafting, and medicine making—were carried out in an orderly manner.

After being busy for so long, Li Wei will not need to run around for a considerable period of time, and his daily life will return to its simple and ordinary routine of cultivation.

And during the winter month.

Li Wei returned to the Gray Tower for classes.

On the seventh floor of the White Pagoda.

He saw the tower lord, battered and badly damaged.

Many of his alchemical armor and rivets had fallen off, exposing many parts. His only human-like feature, his face, looked extremely tired, and the few remaining strands of white hair had all fallen out.

"Master Tower...did you succeed?" Li Wei asked, his emotions complex.

The tower master remained silent, which made Li Wei's heart skip a beat. Could it be that he had failed and had not found the Soul-Summoning Wood of the Other Shore?

"Hahaha! It worked!"

The tower master suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard his stomach hurt, and the parts inside scattered all over the floor.

"I'm so happy, really... Stella, you'll be resurrected soon." The tower master seemed somewhat delirious as he held the sealed amber containing a piece of Stella's brain and kissed it gently as he spoke.

Stella's brain trembled slightly, as if she had sensed the Tower Master's call.

"Thank you, Li Wei. I will be going into seclusion for a long time. My century of hard work will culminate in this seclusion. Regardless of the final outcome, thank you for your help."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei's expression softened.

Even at this point, the tower master still couldn't resist making fun of himself; this is no fun at all!

Li Wei bid farewell to the Tower Master, instructing him to focus on resurrecting his beloved, and returned to Blackfire Island.

He will also go into seclusion. This time, he will not stop until the Golden Serpent reaches the twelfth level!
