Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 220 The Third Ring! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

As a second-ring extraordinary creature, the Ironwing Griffin is now in a panic.

Above it, a pterosaur with a wide wingspan, wielding the power of wind and thunder, was circling.

Griffins are very intelligent creatures, which is why they are used as mounts by powerful wizards.

The griffin, sensing the danger, submitted to Li Wei, thus avoiding a severe beating.

Moreover, even his master has now been subdued by Li Wei.

"We'll have flying mounts now too."

This griffin was something Linte had gone to great lengths to acquire; it was arguably the most valuable thing he owned.

Li Wei sat on the griffin, which flew very steadily and quickly, comparable to some low-level magical airships.

Li Wei tossed Lin Te into Alice's Ring, then took out his storage bag. After taking stock, he found that his haul was quite good.

The items included 70,000 Tai Shi stones, a three-ringed magical artifact, some spellbooks and spellcasting materials from the Ocean School.

"Not bad, one-sixth of a Rex," Levi muttered to himself.

Tai Shi needs no further explanation. That magical artifact was the same as the cannon barrel that Lin Te and Li Wei used when they were fighting, and it was covered with mysterious and complex runes.

Without identification, Li Wei didn't know what it was, only that it was likely a hand cannon similar to those in the Wizarding World, with considerable power.

He planned to find an opportunity to sell it for money. This three-ringed witch artifact looked like a standard product, far inferior to the Great Black Sky Veil, and Li Wei was too lazy to use it.

It was the cash in his pocket that made Li Wei feel at ease.

The griffin flew swiftly and steadily, and on its furry back, the landlady slowly awoke.

The mother and daughter were surrounded by a small protective shield set up by Li Wei to prevent the griffin flying at full speed from blowing little Lia off.

The proprietress looked at the smiling old man in front of her.

"Old barrel? You're really a wizard?" she asked incredulously.

"I already told you, I'm a wizard, but you don't believe me," Li Wei said with a shrug, sounding helpless.

"But what kind of wizard lives in seclusion in this small town, chatting and drinking with mortals, blacksmithing and farming..." The proprietress thought of Li Wei's behavior over the years.

"Wizards are human too. As long as they do things that make them happy, that's fine," Li Wei said.

"Where's that person? This looks like his mount," the proprietress asked.

"I killed him, and naturally I took his mount as well," Li Wei said.

The proprietress suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. The seemingly harmless and gentle old man could calmly utter words like "murderer."

That means Old Barrel has killed too many people, and he no longer cares.

"You're going to treat us like this?" The landlady, once bitten, twice shy, had lost all hope for the moral bottom line of wizards after the kidnapping incident with Lin Te.

As Lint said, morality is nothing more than an excuse for the weak to protect themselves.

Ultimately, in this world, it all comes down to power.

Wizards rule over this vast sea; they have their own circles and rarely interact with mortals.

To some wizards, those busy mortals struggling for a living are nothing more than ants diligently working for food and reproduction by the roadside.

Therefore, a wizard who, even after achieving a high level of cultivation, still considers the needs of mortals is truly rare and precious.

"There are two choices. First, I will send you back to Mistflow City, where you and your daughter can continue to live peaceful mortal lives and pass your lives in an ordinary way."

Secondly, if Leah wants to become a wizard, I can find her a wizard with absolutely reliable character to be her teacher. From then on, she will become a wizard apprentice and enter the magnificent but also dangerous wizarding world.

It depends on your choice.

Li Wei asked.

"I choose the second option," the proprietress said.

"Oh, you must have just witnessed the ruthlessness and cruelty of wizards. I thought you were completely disillusioned with them," Li Wei laughed.

"I am disappointed with wizards, but so what? Life goes on."

I remember when I was a child, it seemed that very few wizards flew over Mistflow City, and it was even rarer to see wizards chasing and fighting each other in the sky.

But I don't know when it started, wizards would occasionally pass by overhead, hurrying along, or fighting and battling each other.

We live in a small town, constantly living in fear. I can sense that the world of wizards has also encountered some kind of change, which is why the world is becoming increasingly chaotic.

We are so insignificant, so insignificant that the wizard can decide our life and death at will.

So I want Leah to try. If possible, it's better to give her the power to fight for her own destiny than to do nothing at all.

"Actually, not all wizards are like that. The reason you have been able to live peacefully in this small town for so long and have rarely been attacked by supernatural creatures is that..."

It's because behind the scenes, there's a group of wizards who prioritize the greater good and consider the overall interests of wizarding civilization, silently protecting everything. Wizards are human too; no one is born a wizard.

The proprietress nodded.

"Do you still need to go to Mistflow City? If not, I'll head straight to our destination," Li Wei said.

"No need, Old Wine... Wizard." Realizing that calling him Old Wine Barrel might be disrespectful to the wizard, the proprietress suddenly changed her tune, looking flustered.

"There's no need to be so formal. I really am a refined and easy-going person," Li Wei said with a smile.

"Grandpa Barrel?" Leah opened her eyes groggily and looked at Li Wei, who was talking to his mother.

"Lia, call her Wizard. You can't call her that anymore," the landlady said.

"Let's stick with Grandpa Barrel, I'm used to it," Li Wei said.

"This..." The proprietress didn't know what to say for a moment, so she remained silent.

After revealing his identity as a wizard, Li Wei clearly felt the distance between people.

Li Wei deeply understood the feelings of Wang Duoyu, the richest man in Xihong City, when he confronted Wang Duoyu.

Amidst Lia's cheerful laughter, the griffin disappeared on the horizon.

In the central part of the Loess Plateau.

Inside the secret chamber of the Blackwater Tower.

A pool of flowing black liquid rolled and surged on the ground, in which venomous creatures such as spiders, scorpions, and snakes were occasionally transformed into a pool of pus and swallowed by the black liquid.

Then, the black liquid eventually coalesced into an old man dressed in black.

This old man in black was none other than Clayer, the Witch of a Hundred Poisons, who was at the height of his power and whose might shook the Yellow Earth Continent.

It is known as the "most venomous creature in the outer ring sea area".

In order to cultivate his own poison magic, Clay went through great hardships to collect the five poisons of the world. He then used these poisonous substances and black water magic to integrate them into his body, thus creating the unique "Venom Body".

His venomous body is extraordinary; it can change shape at will, resembling a pool of liquid. Even if one half is severed, the other half can regenerate.

In addition, Venom's body possesses immense strength and is impervious to blades and spears, making it extremely formidable.

This is the power of the Hundred Poisons Witch. Although he is a wizard of the Ocean School, he has gained greater strength, physique, and defense than ordinary body-refining wizards by relying on his venomous body!

Relying on his venomous body and his third-circle magic, he considered himself the strongest below the fourth-circle wizard.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to single-handedly throw the Golden Lion Clan and the Waum Clan into disarray.

For Clayer, destroying these two families and unifying the Yellow Earth Continent was only a matter of time.

He won't die inexplicably on the Yellow Earth Continent like that good-for-nothing Lehman did before.

"The spirit beast of that psychic witch was invaded by my venomous parasite and must have died suddenly. What a pity, I was planning to capture it and make it my wife," Clay said regretfully.

"And the tracking mark I left on Lin Te has been erased. It looks like this guy is in grave danger. Luckily, I never expected anything from him in the first place, and he knows almost nothing about me."

Claire devoured the poisonous insects, his eyes narrowed, exuding a dangerous aura.

The fact that the mark on Lint could be erased so easily suggests that the other party's strength is unfathomable. Clayer has no intention of avenging Lint.

If I went, I'd most likely end up like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather.

The entire Blackwater Tower is nothing more than a tool of Clayer; as long as he is there, the Blackwater Tower will exist.

"According to intelligence from headquarters, there seems to be a lost Pan's Labyrinth here on the Yellow Earth Continent. We need to get our people to search for it as soon as possible."

"We must gain the upper hand before the Tower of Stars ventures into new dimensions. In the development of the new world, one wrong step leads to another."

Unbeknownst to Clay, someone had already set foot on the Dream Tower branch outpost on the Yellow Earth Continent, taking away all the research data on the Nightmare World.

And this place is located in the serene Mirror Lake.

……

The year 1067 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Vitality.

Li Wei arrived at the location of the Giant Tree's Secret Realm.

He used the contact information left to him by the Green Forest Witch to send a message and then put the griffin away.

They change their mounts every time they come; that's way too flashy.

Although the people in the Giant Tree Secret Realm are generally trustworthy, it's always best to be cautious.

Before long, the spatial rift in the Giant Tree Secret Realm slowly opened.

"These secret realms that can be opened and closed actively are really convenient. In such a war-torn era, they are the perfect place to live in seclusion," Li Wei couldn't help but sigh.

He also had a key to a secret realm, but it could only be opened once every two hundred years, so it had been gathering dust in his storage bag.

"Grandpa Barrel, that's amazing!" Leah exclaimed excitedly, her mouth agape.

The proprietress also looked on with envy at the wizards' methods.

A bloodline-modifying wizard appeared at the door, and Li Wei showed his credentials.

"It's Lord Li Wei! It's been a long time!" the wizard exclaimed.

"Long time no see, I have some business to attend to with the Green Forest Witch."

"Okay, please follow me."

Stepping into the lush, towering secret realm, Li Wei breathed in the fresh air.

In a medicinal garden in the secret realm, Li Wei saw Mai Lin tending to the flowers and plants.

"Teacher," Li Wei said with a smile.

Mai Lin stared blankly at the now aged Li Wei.

"Little... Old Li Wei, hahahahaha," Mylene laughed.

"Haha, indeed, without realizing it, I've become an old man," Li Wei remarked.

"Let's go back to the treehouse and sit for a while." Mylin took to the air and led the way, while Levi followed closely behind with Liya and the others.

Upon hearing that the second-circle wizard Levi from the Tower of Grey and White had returned, other acquaintances, including Winnie, Marco, Tim, and the Manra father and daughter, also rushed over.

Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

After being away for so long, I am indeed a little worried.

Inside the treehouse, Lia and the landlady stood obediently beside Levi, as reserved as helpless little kittens in front of a group of wizards.

"Teacher, this is a wizarding prodigy I discovered by chance. She has an affinity for both elements. I thought such a good talent shouldn't be wasted, so I brought her back. I hope you can all take her in," Li Wei said, stroking Lia's head.

Lia blushed and lowered her head, not daring to speak.

She was only familiar with Li Wei; she was very distant with other wizards.

"It's actually dual-affinity!" Winnie exclaimed in surprise.

Having dual affinity is already considered a top-tier talent in this outer sea area.

"These days, it's rare to find a dual-affinity seedling that hasn't been taken away by a wizard. I think this little girl is quite cute. Li Wei, you're very thoughtful." Mylene looked at Lia, who was hiding behind Li Wei, thinking to herself, "Why is this strange witch looking at me like that?"

"It seems the little guy is quite afraid of me," Mylene said with a smile.

"Lia, don't be rude, quickly call her teacher." The landlady was very perceptive and immediately patted Liya's head.

"Hello teacher, my name is Liya, I am twelve and a half years old, and I like singing and dancing..." Liya said weakly, clutching Li Wei's robe.

"Good! Now is the perfect time for you to learn and acquire knowledge. From now on, you will follow me to learn the magic of the Ocean School, so that you can protect yourself and your mother in the future," Mylin said.

She then looked at the landlady and said, "You'll go with Winnie to report over there later. You can do some odd jobs to earn resources. As long as you don't slack off, you'll have a better life here than outside."

The proprietress doesn't have any talent for witchcraft, otherwise she could have become a witch apprentice.

In this way, Lia's problem can be considered solved.

"Li Wei, are you close to advancing to the third ring?" Mai Lin asked.

"I'm still far from it, but I believe I can advance to the third ring." Li Wei said confidently.

"Will you leave again this time?" Winnie asked, looking at Li Wei, whose hair had turned completely white.

"I'll leave after a while. This time, I want to stay in the Giant Tree Secret Realm for a while," Li Wei said.

He mainly wanted to consult the Green Forest Witch about brewing the third-circle potion.

"That's good. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Relax when you need to, get some rest, and don't think about avenging the Gray Tower."

Morpheus has the support of Black-Eyed Raven, so even if you advance to the third ring, it's best not to provoke him.

Although our Gray Tower has disbanded, everyone is doing well, and there's no need for revenge.

Mai Lin said that she and Li Wei had known each other for a long time. Although Li Wei kept many things to himself, Mai Lin, who was always sensitive, could sense them.

"I understand, teacher. What's past is past. The important thing is that everyone is living well in the present," Li Wei said.

"By the way, teacher, how much mental energy are you still short of reaching the advanced second-ring realm?" Li Wei asked.

After thinking for a moment, Mai Lin said, "I currently have 62 points of mental strength, I'm still 8 points short."

Li Wei felt a pang of emotion. When he was still a wizard apprentice, his teacher had already advanced to the second ring, while he was about to advance to the third ring, and his teacher was still only a second-ring ordinary wizard.

At this moment, he realized even more how terrifying his cultivation speed was with this cheat code.

He sighed inwardly, took out some of the extra meditation potions he had previously used for his second-stage cultivation, and solemnly said, "Teacher, use these potions yourself, and don't tell anyone else..."

If it could help the teacher advance to the third level and live for another two hundred years, that would be the best outcome.

Even if he couldn't advance to the third ring, Li Wei would have no regrets as he had done his best before his teacher left.

"Li Wei, you have to be careful out there, don't do anything illegal." Mylin looked at the precious potion that Li Wei had given her and couldn't help but feel worried.

Second-level meditation aids are extremely rare, and even though she is a second-level pharmacist, she doesn't have the corresponding formulas.

Even with the formula, given her financial resources, it would be difficult for her to sustain the use of meditation to aid in her cultivation.

She suspected that Li Wei might have obtained these through illegal means, which naturally made her worried.

"Teacher, don't worry, Li Wei is still the same innocent and kind-hearted Li Wei. The source of these potions is definitely legal. It's just that second-ring meditation aids are extremely precious, and we shouldn't flaunt our wealth. You understand, teacher," Li Wei said.

He had a confidentiality agreement with the military; otherwise, he would have given the formula for the second-level meditation aid directly to his teacher.

Mai Lin nodded, then suddenly sighed, "Ah... if only the Tower Master were here. He would be so happy to see how successful you are now."

"It's alright. When I'm strong enough one day, I'll go to the Myriad Machines Plane to find the Tower Master and bring back this guy who abandoned the Gray Tower." Li Wei felt a little depressed thinking about the Tower Master who eloped with his lover.

In the days that followed, Li Wei did not rush to leave the Giant Tree Secret Realm, but instead stayed there for the time being.

Chatting all night with friends from the Gray Tower, having a bonfire dance party.

On this day, he arrived at the tower of the Green Forest Witch.

"Please inform him that Li Wei requests an audience," Li Wei said to the guard downstairs.

After passing through, Li Wei once again saw the Green Forest Witch's disheveled monster with the head of a humanoid little girl inside.

He quickly left before the monster could say "big brother".

Unlike the people of this world, because of a certain anime in his previous life, Li Wei had a psychological trauma related to his older brother.

Li Wei met the beautiful green elf in the Green Forest Witch's study.

"I heard you brought a promising wizard with dual elemental affinity."

"Yes."

"If you discover such promising talents while traveling in the future, you can hand them over to us if you don't want to take them on as apprentices," said the Green Forest Witch.

She was naturally more than happy to accept such a thing.

"I will, sir. I've come to ask you something, and of course I'll pay the corresponding price," Li Wei said.

"If it's nothing troublesome, just ask," said the Green Forest Witch.

"I'd like to know, how does a second-ring pharmacist concoct a third-ring potion?" Li Wei asked.

"There are only two possibilities. The first is that he breaks through to the third ring of wizards and then refines it. This goes without saying."

The other type is less common and requires a potion that can temporarily increase the upper limit of mental strength, generally known as the "Ephemeral Flower Elixir".

After taking the potion, your mental strength will break through the limit of the second ring for a short period of time. During this time of breaking through the limit, you just need to successfully refine the potion.

However, the ingredients for the [Epiphyllum Elixir] are quite difficult to find, and it cannot be taken in large quantities. It is generally not recommended to take it more than three times, otherwise it may affect the subsequent advancement of one's cultivation level, resulting in more harm than good.

Generally speaking, only ancient wizards would take the Epiphyllum Elixir to forcibly concoct three-ring potions. In modern times, under the regulations and management of the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council, as long as the potion is certified by the Apothecary Association, it is generally safe to take without worry.

The Green Forest Witch immediately guessed why Li Wei asked this question; he most likely wanted to refine a potion to break through to the third ring.

Li Wei smiled slightly and then said, "Understood. Do you have the formula for the Epiphyllum oxypetalum elixir, sir? I can purchase it with Tai Shi."

He still wanted to try it himself first, partly to be more at ease, and partly to improve his pharmaceutical skills.

"I do have some here... but are you sure you want to buy them?" the Green Forest Witch asked.

"Yes."

"All right……"

The Green Forest Witch never expected that Levi would be so obsessed with making his own medicine.

In the end, Li Wei spent a friendly price of 30,000 to buy the recipe for the Epiphyllum Elixir from the Green Forest Witch.

Like the Denling potion, the Epiphyllum oxypetalum preparation is also a special potion. There is no distinction based on the number of rings, and the quality of the potion depends on the different materials used.

Li Wei looked around and found that he had all the materials for the Epiphyllum Elixir, which a second-circle wizard could use, except for a few missing items, in his herbal medicine storehouse.

He possesses Rex's legacy, the richness of which surpasses even that of the Greenwood Witch.

Having achieved their goal, they rested for a few days in the Giant Tree Secret Realm.

Li Wei bid farewell to Meryl and the others. Before leaving, Liya was somewhat reluctant to part with Grandpa Barrel.

Li Wei told her to cultivate diligently, and that he would reward her if she could advance one level before the age of thirty.

After leaving the secret realm, Li Wei looked toward Blackfire Island.

"I'm back!"

……

three days later.

Li Wei arrived at Blackfire Island.

Blackfire Island is not much different now than it was before Li Wei left.

Inside the cave, Li Wei met the second-circle wizard Coron, who was cultivating there.

"Senior!" Coren immediately ran out excitedly. During his time cultivating on Blackfire Island, his cultivation had also improved.

"During my absence, has anything unusual happened on Blackfire Island?" Li Wei asked.

"No, with me guarding the area, there's naturally no problem," Coron said.

"Where's Joan?"

"He was summoned by the Ancestral Witch of Extreme Fire to search for the ruins."

Li Wei then asked Coron about the current situation in the Ninth District.

Of the three forces in District 9, Whale Song Island is growing stronger and stronger, forcing Lady White Water's Ocean Current Tower to retreat in defeat. Now, they can only retreat to Ocean Current Tower for a final stand.

Moreover, Morpheus also attacked the alliance of rogue cultivators under the command of the Extreme Fire Ancestral Witch, forcing the Extreme Fire Ancestral Witch to relinquish control and submit to Whale Song Island.

However, the Extreme Fire Ancestral Witch, being a third-ring wizard, was naturally unwilling to accept defeat, and the two sides fought several times, with each side winning and losing.

Today, the Extreme Fire Ancestral Witch has formed a loose alliance with the Ocean Current Tower to jointly deal with the pressure from Whale Song Island.

The reason Morpheus could be so fearless was naturally because of the mastermind behind District 9, Black-Eyed Raven Morty.

"Since the war hasn't reached Blackfire Island, I won't get involved for now. My current strength is probably far from enough to face the Black-Eyed Raven."

After the third ring, the gap between each ring is like an insurmountable chasm. Unless I advance to the third transformation of Blood Source, I will never be a match for a fourth-ring wizard.

While they were busy fighting, I seized the opportunity to advance to the third ring, further enhancing my strength and enabling me to better protect myself in this chaotic world.

Li Wei asked Ke Lun to run errands for him to find the missing materials for the Epiphyllum oxypetalum remedy.

The wizard Corren is very shrewd; Levi asked him to guard Blackfire Island, and he has been guarding it ever since.

Even this double-surname servant, Koren, knew that there was no future in following the Extreme Fire Ancestral Witch, since the Extreme Fire Ancestral Witch had many second-ring wizards under her command and didn't care about him.

Following Li Wei, he became a founding partner. In the future, when Li Wei advances to the third ring, he will likely also benefit from it.

In this way, Li Wei was able to focus on his spiritual practice.

He arrived at the deepest part of Blackfire Island, the place where the power of earth fire was most concentrated.

He felt the scorching air, but his body felt no discomfort whatsoever. In fact, he felt quite comfortable because of the presence of the Red Lotus.

His current fire resistance is comparable to that of a fire elemental giant of the same level, unless it is a burning spell of the higher level than his.

Burning spells of the same level have very limited effect on Li Wei.

The year 1068 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of budding.

The 31th year of the Great Expedition.

Koren, the errand boy, finally gathered all the materials for the Epiphyllum Elixir for Li Wei, and Li Wei rewarded Koren with some Tai Shi (a type of precious stone).

He began refining the ephemeral herbal remedy.

Li Wei's current pharmaceutical skills have long reached the tenth level limit, which is equivalent to a second-level senior.

However, because his mental strength was insufficient, he was unable to break through this limitation.

The preparation of the Epiphyllum Elixir was a success. After using up all the materials, Li Wei produced four portions.

However, this potion can only be used a maximum of three times, and the increase in mental strength gained each time is only fleeting.

Therefore, Li Wei only had three opportunities to refine the Lake Fairy Potion.

He needed to complete the preliminary steps of the Lake Fairy Potion beforehand, and then, in the final crucial step of mixing the medicine, take the Epiphyllum Elixir to forcibly refine the Lake Fairy Potion.

"Come on, let's try to succeed on our first try."

Li Wei encouraged himself in his heart.

Inside Blackfire Island, he began the process of refining the Lake Fairy's potion.

The defenses on Blackfire Island are now impregnable.

Li Wei crafted a double-ring maze, a killing formation, and a defensive formation, all of which were set up within it.

Gustav, Raja, the Mountain Giant, Lint, and Tyrant II guarded various parts of Blackfire Island.

It's fair to say that without Black-Eyed Raven, Whale Song Island's lineup wouldn't be nearly as impressive as Li Wei's.

Blackfire Island, though small, is comparable to a third-ring wizarding organization, except that its members are not human.

With such security in place, Li Wei began the potion-making process with complete focus.

A month later.

Inside the pharmaceutical room, Li Wei was completely focused, beads of sweat beading on his forehead.

Beside him was a jar containing discarded medicinal materials.

A month ago, he failed in his first attempt to concoct the Lake Fairy Potion.

This is the second time. If he fails this time, Li Wei will only have one last chance.

If he fails three times, he will have to ask the Green Forest Witch or Huffman to help him refine it.

Fortunately, he had enough materials for the Fairy Potion from Lake Liwei, so he could still afford to fail a few times.

Finally, after completing each step of the process, the crucial step of mixing the medicine came next.

Li Wei drank the ephemeral flower potion, and in an instant, his mind began to churn. His mental energy, in that brief moment, actually broke through the 100-point limit, even showing a faint tendency to vaporize.

At this moment, Li Wei barely possessed the mental power of the third ring.

He quickly chanted the incantation and began to prepare the medicine.

As the light swirled, the liquid inside the crucible began to churn and sublimate.

Even the faint songs of banshees drifted by, along with the whispers of demons and the howls of the dead—three different strange sounds echoed, disturbing the mind.

If Li Wei hadn't possessed a strong will and undergone the mental training of becoming a mortal, it would have been very difficult for him to resist these disturbances.

Finally, at the bottom of the crucible.

A wisp of ever-changing medicinal soup solidified into a miniature black figure with its eyes tightly closed, looking somewhat strange.

The little potion figure suddenly stood up and began to spin around the bottom of the crucible like a dancer inside a music box.

"It's done... This potion looks a bit strange."

Li Wei looked at the potion, but he was quite certain that he had successfully refined it.

This is the Lake Fairy Potion recorded in the recipe.

It's normal for wizarding things to be strange; Li Wei is used to it.

"The potion is ready. What follows is the long process of vaporization. Once it reaches the final step of vaporization, I will take the Lake Fairy potion and succeed in one fell swoop," Li Wei muttered to himself.

Inside Blackfire Island.

Li Wei began practicing the "Earth and Fire Qi Transformation Method," breathing in the scorching air as he held the Heart of Stone in his palm.

Without realizing it, Li Wei opened his eyes and discovered a new skill on his proficiency panel.

Li Wei————

Earth Fire Tempering Technique: First Tier (1/1000).

……

"I didn't expect that this vaporization technique could also be listed on the proficiency panel."

"That makes things much easier. I'll just work myself to the bone."

Li Wei was overjoyed.

However, this "Earth and Fire Qi Transformation Method" is called "Earth Fire Tempering Divine Method" on the proficiency panel.

And so, Li Wei began the vaporization process on Blackfire Island, a process that would continue for an unknown period of time.

According to the information he had collected in advance, the vaporization process can take anywhere from six months to three to five years, or even ten years.

The better one's talent, the faster one's transformation into Qi.

Of course, this is not absolute. Some people are slow to develop their qi, but slow and steady wins the race.

After successfully vaporizing, the quality of his spiritual energy vaporization was significantly higher than that of ordinary wizards, which was equivalent to laying the foundation for the liquefaction of spiritual energy in advance.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Blackfire Island lies dormant peacefully on this vast sea, just like its master.

Within the fiery earth, the earth elemental power within the Heart of Stone in Li Wei's hand was visibly thinning.

In the past six months, he has also trained his Earth Fire Tempering Divine Technique to the second level.

Li Wei estimated that when he reached the third level, it would be the time when his spiritual power would be completely vaporized.

"It seems my vaporization speed is relatively slow. It doesn't matter. Good things take time, I'll take it slow."

Li Wei has a good attitude. Half a year has passed, and his transformation into a vapor seems to be just the beginning.

Within his mind, a fine, white, and jade-like spiritual energy flowed, and billions of materialized spiritual energy particles formed this miraculous phenomenon.

"It might take three years to fully convert all of my spiritual energy."

Li Wei estimated the current progress.

"I hope no one will bother me for the next three years, so I can advance to the third ring in one go."

Spiritual practice knows no time; time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

The year 1070 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

The 34th year of the Great Expedition.

The endless sea is engulfed in war, and there is no hope in sight.

After news broke that Black Sun Adam had failed to advance, the Tower of Stars launched a fierce attack on Black Sun Tower, only to find that Black Sun Adam was full of energy.

He didn't advance to the ninth ring at all, there was no failure, and he didn't go into seclusion to recuperate!

The previous reports were just a smokescreen; the high-ranking wizards who went to besiege the Black Sun Tower were severely injured, with one dead and one wounded.

The Beast Witch collected more Miracle Fruits, and his strength steadily increased, almost reaching the limit below the ninth ring.

Of course, this increase in strength also came at a price: the Beast Mad Witch went berserk and out of control more than once, directly attacking friendly forces.

This brought the dark wizard, who had finally gained the upper hand, back to square one.

From then on, the Beast Wizard abandoned the idea of ​​further fusion and began to cultivate his own Beast Wizard Warband.

The outside world is in constant turmoil.

Li Wei, meanwhile, was gradually working on his Earth Fire Tempering Divine Technique.

Now, in his hands, the Heart of Stone has been completely reduced to ashes and vanished without a trace.

On his proficiency panel, the Earth Fire Tempering Divine Technique had reached the third-tier limit.

Li Wei——————

Earth Fire Tempering Technique: Third Tier (Limit).

……

At the same time, a tremendous change was taking place in Li Wei's mind.

A wisp of white mist drifted erratically in Li Wei's mind, gentle and serene.

These are the spiritual energy that Li Wei has vaporized. The white mist is composed of billions of spiritual energy particles.

"It's not successful yet. You must form a perpetual circular vortex of spiritual energy for the true vaporization to be successful."

Li Wei quickly swallowed the Lake Fairy potion. The constantly spinning black figure was crushed by Li Wei amidst giggling laughter and swallowed into his stomach.

Then, just like when Pigsy ate the ginseng fruit, the medicine melted instantly upon entering his mouth, turning into a warm current that flowed into Li Wei's limbs and bones, and even into his illusory sea of ​​consciousness.

Then, the white mist composed of spiritual energy in Li Wei's mind suddenly surged and began to form an eye like a typhoon, and then slowly began to rotate, with the rotation speed increasing, and finally forming a stable ring-shaped cloud.

"We've reached the Third Ring Road... wait, is it still not over?"

Li Wei discovered that something seemed to be brewing in the center of the ring.

Immediately afterwards, a phantom-like building began to appear.

The building is shaped like a white tower and has three floors.

Upon seeing this, Li Wei's expression changed from surprise to ecstasy.

"This...this is the prototype of a true wizard's tower!"

"The Holy Tower of the Ring of Law!"
