Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 240 The Witch's House (Thanks to the 3 Alliance Leaders from "Anhui Wang Zexian"!)

The year 1094 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of wheat fields.

The endless sea.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed since Levi arrived in the Wizarding World.

The side effects of Li Wei's Scarlet Escape gradually subsided.

Now, everything is finally completely fine.

"These side effects are quite significant. Having stayed in the human world for so long, I wonder what the current situation is like in the wizarding world. I'd better find a place to gather some information."

Li Wei stood up and put away the Tyrant II and the magic array that had been protecting him.

Then they left the area.

The Flying Shark is sailing in the air.

He hurried toward those places he remembered.

……

Wailing City.

Inside a small tavern in the chaotic outer city.

The strippers were performing an energetic little dance, and the lead stripper was a beautiful woman from a fur tribe with rabbit ears.

"I still remember when I broke through to the second ring, I celebrated with Green and Tomman by hiring Mink dancers. Time has passed, and Tomman and Green have died in the war. The cruelty of the wizarding world is evident."

Li Wei disguised himself and infiltrated Stromgarde using the Hermit Rune. He also concealed his cultivation level as a First Ring Wizard, dressed in a gray robe, and gathered intelligence in the taverns outside Stromgarde.

Based on what he's gathered these past few days...

In the wizarding world today, war has not yet ceased.

The war between the black and white wizards has been going on for sixty years.

Both Black Sun Adam and Beast Mad Wizard are at the peak of the eighth-ring wizard level, just one step away from becoming a ninth-ring archmage.

In this war between black and white wizards, the four major black wizard organizations—the Black Sun Tower, the Boiling Blood of Beasts, the Submerged Ancient City, and the City of Injustice—each have an eighth-ring wizard in command.

Although the Tower of Stars is stronger, it cannot achieve victory in the war in a short period of time.

Actually, the situation in Azure Mirror is still good.

According to intelligence, the realms of the unbelievers of some smaller schools have been completely overrun and become the territory of the dark wizards. A new dark wizard regime has been established there, and the white wizards have become like stray dogs.

This even includes the Frozen Realm of the Frozen School.

Although the Frost School rose to prominence thanks to the powerful Frost Witch Gulveig, this legendary witch has already left the wizarding world and gone to the distant Five Planes Federation, where she is now engaged in a legendary battle with the evil god under the Lord of Chaos, the Lady of Famine.

Apart from the Frost Witches, the headquarters of the Ice School doesn't even have a single Archmage.

This has given some dark wizards an opportunity, and now the Ice School is facing a serious crisis.

The Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council is currently drawing personnel from various factions to support the White Wizarding forces of the Ice School.

Meanwhile, in Stromgarde City, the fighting has ceased, and apart from the demons hiding among humans, the dark wizarding forces in District Six have been eliminated.

Therefore, many wizards from Stromgarde were transferred to the Frozen Realm to fight on the front lines.

As for the Great Expedition, the Dimension of Myriad Machines has been reclaimed, and the legendary wizard has led his team back to quell the internal strife in the Wizarding World.

This is one of the few pieces of good news in the Wizarding World in recent years.

It seems that in the end, the legendary wizard was still one step ahead, and the father of the plague was no match for him.

"In that case, I wonder if the Tower Master can come back... However, the Father of Plague was only seriously injured, not dead. It will still be very difficult to kill an evil god."

Li Wei thought of the sudden outbreaks of plague in the world and felt that there seemed to be some connection between the two.

After gathering some information, Li Wei left Stromgarde.

His identity was somewhat special, so he couldn't stay in Stromgarde for long. Otherwise, if his faked death was discovered, he would be forced to serve in the military.

……

half a month later.

Li Wei arrived at the Loess Plateau.

In Lion City.

Li Wei met the old golden lion Leon.

In recent years, the situation on the Loess Plateau has been relatively stable.

After a period of recuperation, the Golden Lion family grew considerably stronger after absorbing the Ashdie family's legacy.

"Lord Levi, it's been a long time," Leon said with a smile, his face beaming.

He had just mastered his second innate spell and become a senior wizard of the third ring, so he was in a good mood.

"Lord Leon, where are Dinos and Mudi?" Levi asked.

"Dinos is currently in seclusion, reportedly to break through the legendary barrier, while Emperor Mu left the Yellow Earth Continent a few years ago to venture into the Inner Ring Sea."

"Which district within the inner ring road did Emperor Mu visit?"

"It seems to be District Seven..."

"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Your Excellency Leon."

Levi left Lion King City intending to take Mudi and Dinos with him, but it seems that this matter will have to be put on hold for now.

"That Mu Di actually ventured into the inner ring area. He's only a knight equivalent to a second-ring wizard; it won't be easy for him in the inner ring. And the place he went to is the seventh district, which is the territory of the Thunder Dragon family." Li Wei pondered to himself. "Everyone has their own fate. Never mind, I'd better go see Teacher Mai Lin."

……

The Secret Realm of the Giant Tree.

"Grandma Mai! Levi is back!" Winnie led Levi quickly to Mailin's little treehouse.

Teacher Mai Lin looked at Li Wei, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, with her aged face.

"I knew it... Li Wei couldn't possibly be dead," Mylene murmured, seeing that imposing figure from her memories.

"Teachers, how did you know I was dead?" Li Wei asked, both amused and exasperated.

"Winnie asked her friends in Stromgarde for information," Mylene said.

"All right……"

"By the way, that bastard Tower Master might come back in the future, if he didn't die in the Myriad Machines Plane..." Mylene said.

"I've heard that too. With the Tower Master's abilities, he shouldn't die in battle. He's basically an alchemical being; as long as his brain is preserved, he can reassemble his body."

"I hope so."

"Teacher, if you had the chance to leave the wizarding world in the future, would you choose to leave?" Li Wei asked.

"Go to the human world?" Mylene asked.

"Yes, I know a place where the elemental power is no less than that of the Wizarding World, but that place needs to be kept secret, so I can only take some of my most trusted people there." Levi nodded.

He felt that the wizarding world was too dangerous. Although the Great Tree Realm was safe for the time being, it could not be guaranteed to be safe forever.

Therefore, he wanted to bring the teachers and friends he had a good relationship with from the Gray Tower to the human world.

"I want to wait until the tower master comes back before we talk about it. If we all leave this outer sea area, how will he find us when he comes back..." Mylene said.

"I see."

Li Wei sighed.

Tower Master Herman is the guide on Mylin's path to becoming a wizard, like a teacher and a father.

Ms. Mai Lin is unlikely to leave here anytime soon.

Li Wei left Teacher Mai Lin some second-level meditation aids, as well as a portion of the Lake Fairy Potion that he had previously crafted as a surplus.

If the teacher can break through to the third circle of wizardry in the remaining decades of his life journey, that would be best.

If not, then Li Wei has done his best and will have no regrets.

The Fairy of the Lake Potion, if left out, would absolutely cause other second-level and even mid-level wizards to go crazy for it. Even if it were sold for 100,000 Tai Shi, there would still be people who wanted it.

Li Wei had previously crafted four, using one for himself and giving one to Teacher Mai Lin.

There are two left. Li Wei plans to keep them to sell for money, or give them to some important people in the future.

The main problem is that the Fairy Dust from Evil Dream has been used up.

Otherwise, Li Wei could have mass-produced this medicine.

Before leaving, Li Wei went to the grave of Manra, a good friend he had met during his apprenticeship, who had now passed away peacefully.

"Old friend, I hope you're doing well in the underworld."

In this chaotic and disorderly era, filled with blood and fire, to die peacefully in one's sleep is indeed a kind of fortune.

Manra's daughter became a formal wizard and now teaches at the Green Forest Tower.

The little girl, Lia, whom he had left with his teacher, had grown into a graceful young woman and had even become a witch apprentice. However, she seemed somewhat estranged from Li Wei because they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Li Wei was also quite helpless about this.

After all, the person Liya was most familiar with was the "Grandpa Barrel" who worked in the blacksmith shop, bragging and drinking beer.

Lia's mother, the tavern owner, was an old woman. Although her hair was white, she was still very energetic. However, in Li Wei's Ash Eyes, it could be seen that she was surrounded by death energy and should not be far from her end.

Li Wei gave her some common medicines to enhance her physical condition, which could slightly prolong her life.

Finally, Levi met Joelman, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. This good brother who had helped him through the early difficulties seemed to be nearing the end of his life.

Joerman's bloodline is relatively thin, making it difficult for him to advance to the third-ring extraordinary creature level in his lifetime.

From its first master to the present, it has been five hundred years old, and is now an old snake in its twilight years.

"Old buddy, come with me. I'll see if I can help you advance further in the future." Levi stroked the snake's head.

Jorman shook his head.

Li Wei understood what it meant; it wanted to stay by Granny Mai's and Winnie's side.

"Alright, take care, live a long life. Once I've fully developed the bloodline potion for hybrid dragons to advance, I won't let you die so easily."

Everything in this world is ultimately subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death. In fact, it's quite good to go with the flow.

However, Li Wei was unwilling to accept this. He wanted to live forever, but he didn't want to live forever alone. Within his power, he also wanted those who had helped him to live as long as possible... After all, they were some of the few beautiful memories he had on his monotonous path of cultivation.

Having put aside his concerns here, Li Wei left the Giant Tree Secret Realm.

What he was looking for next was basically in the inner ring sea area, or even the starry sea area.

So he probably won't be coming back for a long time.

Li Wei secretly went to District 9, and the situation there was no different from when he left.

Morty the Black-Eyed Raven has taken control of District 9 from his Blackfire Island.

This eighth-ranked powerhouse on the Blacklist is a seasoned fourth-ring wizard who has mastered at least two third-ring talent spells and two fourth-ring talent spells.

His strength is far beyond that of those ancient saints who couldn't even fly.

Therefore, Li Wei has no intention of seeking revenge at the moment.

It's just the loss of one island.

Li Wei immediately set off for the fifth district of the inner ring sea area.

Three months later.

Li Wei visited several wizarding markets.

However, they discovered that not only the Black Pearl Market, but also other markets had become the property of the Thunder Dragon family.

The medicinal herbs he needed were not for sale at the market.

The Thunder Dragon family monopolizes all the raw materials for meditation aids and realm breakthrough potions.

Then the family's apothecary would make it into a potion, which would then be sold at a high price at the wizarding market.

Li Wei calculated that if he bought the finished potions from the Leilong family, the cost would be ten times higher than the cost of refining them himself!

Even after deducting labor and time costs, the Leilong family still makes huge profits.

"They're not giving ordinary wizards a way to survive; they're essentially forcing everyone to buy their potions."

Li Wei left in frustration and resentment.

He vowed that once he had the power, he would definitely find a way to wipe out the Thunder Dragon Clan, which was a major scourge in the wizarding world, even more despicable than the Black Wizards.

"At this juncture, the only option is to head to the Sea of ​​Stars."

The higher Li Wei went, the more he could feel how serious the problems of resource monopoly and unequal distribution were in the wizarding world.

It's not without reason that dark wizards wage war.

In the established wizarding world, those who have vested interests monopolize everything, making it difficult for ordinary wizards to rise in rank.

The giant ship left behind by Sauron has decayed.

All of this needs to change!

Bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable.

"well……"

All the resentment turned into a sigh.

Despite encountering setbacks at every turn, Li Wei eventually arrived at the Sea of ​​Stars.

That is, the Sea of ​​Six Towers.

The six towers now are: the Seven Waters Tower, the Witch's House, the Abyss Alliance, the Letney Wizarding Family, the Lilith Hut, and the Hurricane Tower.

The Seven Water Tower is world-renowned for its shipbuilding; the Witch's House only accepts witches and is skilled in medicine making; the Abyss Alliance is said to have many powerful members with sea race blood and the ability to tame sea beasts; Lilith's Hut is rather ordinary and has no special features.

The four companies mentioned above are basically all from the ocean-related faction.

The Hurricane Tower and the Letney Wizarding Family are respectively from the Storm faction and the Thunder faction. The latter is the only wizarding family organization among the six towers, and it is said to have a very long history, having once produced a demigod-level great wizard.

Besides these six towers, there are many other wizarding organizations of varying sizes in the Starry Sea.

In fact, Li Wei did not want to step into the Starry Sea so early.

This is a paradise for the strong. I am but a mere third-circle wizard, and only by relying on the way of chivalry can I barely contend with a fourth-circle wizard.

In the Starry Sea, while not at the bottom, it's not considered high either.

However, he realized that the resources he needed could only be found here.

It would be a waste of time to find it in the inner ring of waters.

On the boundless sea, Li Wei, aboard the Flying Shark, felt the rich elemental power.

"The elemental power of this Starry Sea is several times that of the outer ring region. It truly deserves to be called a sacred place for cultivation," he couldn't help but exclaim.

Below him are islands arranged like stars.

These are all private islands owned by wizards living in the Starry Sea. They are quite expensive, and those who live on these islands are mostly mid-level wizards, or even possibly high-level elemental spirit wizards.

Aside from these islands that resemble private villas, there are also some giant islands in the Starry Sea.

On the giant island, there is a wizard's market or city, and this is Livy's destination.

"Speaking of which, it seems that Old Sha has also arrived in the Starry Sea. I wonder how he is doing now?" Li Wei muttered to himself as he arrived at a giant island.

This giant island is called "Pluto Island," and it is one of the twelve giant islands that guard the starry sea.

These twelve giant islands are home to twelve colossal wizard cities, known as the "Twelve Wizard Cities".

Hades City is one of them.

Currently, due to the ongoing war, these cities are strictly checking the identities of outsiders.

Li Wei was stopped by the guards before he even entered the city.

However, there is nothing in this world that money cannot solve; if there is, it's simply that there isn't enough money.

Ultimately, relying on his financial power, Li Wei successfully obtained the identity plaque.

The Underworld City is equipped with a five-ring anti-flight array, which prevents any wizard except for the most esteemed high-level Yuanhun Wizards from flying here.

This is also for the convenience of management, to prevent some wizards from causing trouble and then quickly escaping.

The streets were filled with all sorts of wizards, as well as mortals who served as their servants, foreign slaves, and even some knights and guards.

Li Wei needed the ingredients for the potion, so he went directly to the largest potion shop in Hades City.

"The Witch's House"

This apothecary must be the Witch's House located in Hades City.

Upon entering, Li Wei discovered a beautiful witch reading a book on potions.

She noticed Li Wei's arrival, but did not take her eyes off the books.

"If you need any medicine, you can tell [Little Witch]," she said while reading the book.

"I am Klee the Little Witch, wizard. What potion would you like to buy?" A little girl, about the size of Li Wei's palm, wearing a loose black robe and a bow in her hair, flew in mid-air. Behind her, there was a pair of wings as thin as cicada wings, which were flapping rapidly.

"As expected of a witch's household, they actually have little fairies as servants." Li Wei's heart stirred.

In the ancient wizarding era, goblins often served as stewards for wizards, managing herb gardens, wizard towers, and all aspects of their daily lives.

They are efficient and powerful. Don't let their small size fool you; this little guy has mastered powerful "fairy magic".

However, due to over-capturing, these little creatures are now rarely seen in the wizarding world.

The flower fairy mentioned in the magic trick "The Tears of the Flower Fairy" that Li Wei learned when he was an apprentice was a type of little fairy.

Judging from the little witch in front of him, Li Wei estimated that she should have the strength of a second-ring wizard, making her one of the top experts among the fairies.

"Hello, Klee, I need to buy some potion ingredients. I wonder if you sell them here?" Levi asked.

The little witch hovered in front of Li Wei, rested her chin on her hand, shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, sir, we don't sell medicinal herbs right now."

"Why? I remember you sold them before," Li Wei asked.

At this moment, the witch who had been reading looked up from her book and calmly looked at Li Wei, saying, "It's wartime now, and the wizarding world is already short of medicinal resources. In addition, a large portion of the wizards who search for and cultivate medicinal herbs have been sent to the military. Therefore, we have stopped selling materials and are only selling potions. You won't be able to buy them from other wizarding organizations' shops either."

Li Wei felt distressed. He sighed and prepared to leave.

"Are you an apothecary?" the witch asked.

"Yes."

Which ring road?

"Three-Ring Pharmacist"

"I do have a way to help you obtain the potion ingredients," the witch said after thinking for a moment.

"Please let me know." Li Wei looked grateful.

"Our Witch's House has recently received some large orders from the military, and the apothecaries in the tower are overwhelmed. We are currently recruiting temporary apothecaries. One of the rewards for temporary apothecaries is the right to purchase materials from the Witch's House. If your apothecary skills are up to par, I can arrange an interview for you. By the way, my name is Celia," said the witch named Celia.

The Witch's House only accepts witches.

Otherwise, given Li Wei's skill level as a pharmacist, joining the Witch's House shouldn't be too difficult.

"I'll take another look. Thanks for letting me know." Li Wei left the witch's house.

He stayed in the city for the next few days.

There were many shops in Hades City, and some wizards were also setting up stalls, but Levi was still unwilling to give up.

blink.

A month has passed.

During this time, Li Wei toured Hades City and even some surrounding cities.

He managed to collect some materials for refining meditation aids from some independent cultivators and wizard markets, which cost him a full 50,000 taels of silver.

However, one thing is the same as what Celia said: the material shops of those large organizations basically no longer sell potion materials.

This has made the situation even more difficult for many independent pharmacists.

Making a living through pharmaceutical manufacturing is becoming increasingly difficult.

All resources are controlled by wizarding organizations and families; to obtain them, one must join them.

"This world..."

Helpless, Li Wei returned to the witch's house.

Seeing Li Wei return, Celia looked as if she had expected it.

Are you looking to interview for a temporary pharmacist position?

"Yes, please arrange it for me."

a few days later.

After passing the interview, Li Wei signed a temporary employment agreement with the Witch's House.

Celia smiled and said, "Lord Levi, we need to use a teleportation spell next. Would you please take my arm?"

Li Wei hesitated for a moment, coughed, and carefully grasped the witch Celia's white, slender, smooth, and boneless arm with his large hand, which could crush an ancient saint.

"Angumokin!" Celia held a medal from the Witch's House in her hand and chanted the incantation.

The next moment, Celia and Levi disappeared into the small pharmacy.

When Celia opened her eyes amidst the dizziness of the teleportation, she found that Levi had already released her arm and was staring ahead with a shocked expression.

In front of Li Wei stood a towering tree, thousands of feet tall, reaching straight into the clouds, like the World Tree from mythology.

Beautiful witches, each with their own unique charm and dressed in vibrant colors, flew around, coming and going.

On the trunk of the giant tree, a powerful, slender gray dragon, seemingly integrated with the tree, was coiled up, fast asleep, snoring loudly.

"Immortal...Immortal Banyan Dragon?"

Comrades, this is the only update of 6000 words at noon, no extra updates. The remaining unwritten chapters from last month are still 58000 words. I simply haven't been able to write them all. Updates today and tomorrow might be a bit slow because I haven't completely resigned yet, and I still have a case to attend court. But don't worry, the owed updates won't be missed.

Thank you so much to "Anhui Wang Zexian" for the 340,000 Qidian coins reward! I'm deeply grateful and humbled. According to the rules, I will add six extra chapters next month, each with 3000 words, so let's say six extra chapters totaling 20000 words.

(End of this chapter)
