Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 255 Soren and His Companions (Long Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The Panda Empire, Southern Province.

In recent years, a female swordsman named Baihua has begun to rise to fame.

She fought against the Sorrowful Wind Palm and tested her sword against the Southern Mountain Sword, without ever suffering a defeat.

Afterwards, masters from all over the south came to challenge them, gradually making the Hundred Flowers Swordsmen famous.

Of course, while the likes of the Sorrowful Wind Palm and the Southern Mountain Sword are renowned in their respective regions, they still cannot be considered true powerhouses of the Panda Empire.

It is said that above these top-tier experts, there is also the mysterious and unpredictable [Hidden Qi Sect].

What is the Qi Sect? It is the path to enlightenment through physical cultivation, aligning oneself with heaven and earth, achieving unity of heaven and man, following the natural way, and mobilizing the power of the four elements: earth, fire, wind, and water. (Author's note: The four elements are referenced from the Four Elements Sect in D&D Monk.)

The Qi Clan lives in seclusion and is always shrouded in mystery, occasionally leaving behind legends in the world. They only appear in the world when a calamity threatens the Panda Empire.

Wizards emphasize systematic knowledge and theoretical learning in order to gradually master magic and touch upon the truth.

However, these adorable fur-clad bear-men emphasize cultivating their minds, using their hearts to perceive the universe and the existence of Qi.

In Baihua's view, this was too vague and idealistic.

However, since Lord Soren left behind legends here and did not establish this place as a wizard colony, it means that there must be something special about this world.

She wanted to meet the current Holy Emperor and uncover the information behind the legends left behind by Sauron in this place.

So Baihua traveled towards Four Symbols City, the capital of the Panda Empire in the central region.

As she traveled, she discovered that most of the bear-people in this world were exceptionally friendly to outsiders, something Baihua could never have imagined in the wizarding world.

Bamboo Cloud City.

"Bamboo leaf cake, the finest bamboo leaf cake, would you like some?"

"Thank you, just a little bit."

Baihua bought a small piece of bamboo leaf cake from an old bear-man and swallowed it in one bite.

"...It's so bitter."

Baihua smiled and shook her head. "Much of the food in this world is related to bamboo."

Experiencing different exotic customs is part of the fun of interdimensional travel.

In this small southern town, all sorts of vendors were calling out their wares, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Halt! The legacy of the Qi Sect of Strong Liquor shall remain!"

"Dream on!"

Suddenly, two figures flashed across the rooftops without leaving a sound.

Looking around, Baihua saw a tall, thin bear-man wearing a straw hat and a raincoat, chasing after another short, stout bear-man.

That short, stout bear-man, though chubby-looking, was incredibly agile.

Baihua smiled slightly, showing no intention of vying for the Qi Sect's inheritance.

After years of research, she discovered that the extraordinary systems of this world might not be suitable for her.

Needless to say, the wizarding profession is a mature and complete supernatural system, and its current upper limit is the god-like existence of legendary wizards. She cannot abandon the wizarding path and pursue the trivial instead of the essential.

And the way of chivalry is difficult to find any reference in the laws of this world.

Based on the Knights of Flowers' understanding of chivalry, these are two completely different systems.

A knight is destined to follow the path of bloodline to the bitter end.

She had reached the end of the road, but ahead lay a fog, something she couldn't see or touch.

With experts from all walks of life gathering, the winds of change are blowing through Zhuyun City once again.

A bright red gourd was being snatched and fought over by a group of people.

No one knows who threw a punch, but the gourd suddenly shot out and landed at Baihua's feet. It spun around and then pointed at Baihua.

"..."

Baihua stopped, picked up the wine gourd, and looked up to find herself surrounded by top-tier masters whose skills were no weaker than the Sorrowful Wind Palm and the Southern Mountain Sword.

Hello everyone.

Baihua smiled confidently and put away the wine gourd.

Since this thing has come to my feet, it would be impolite not to take it.

She thought she might as well see what this inheritance was and then return it to these bear-men.

"Outsider, hand it over. The Qi Sect's inheritance is not something you can comprehend," said the tall, thin bear-man.

"That's right, I found this item, so it should belong to me."

"No, it belongs to me."

A group of burly bear-men rushed towards Baihua.

She smiled radiantly, remaining calm and composed. Holding a gourd in her left hand, she leaned back to dodge the attack.

Then he placed his right hand on the greatsword, and the power of the legendary knight at his peak surged into the greatsword.

"A Hundred Flowers and a Full Moon!"

boom!

Her greatsword spun, its light sweeping across like a full moon.

One by one, the masters were forced to defend and dodge.

The houses on both sides of the street were swept away by the terrifying sword wind and were about to collapse.

The flowers stirred with a thought.

Relying on the power of magic.

These houses, which were about to collapse, suddenly returned to normal.

Her sword strike forced back those experts, but didn't harm a single one.

"Such powerful witchcraft."

One expert exclaimed in shock.

"Thank you for holding back, stranger... This is indeed not something you can take. Please leave it here."

The bears dared not move forward, speaking with trepidation.

"I'll borrow it to take a look, then I'll return it to you..."

Baihua smiled slightly, and her whole body, head, chest, legs... bloomed with flowers vying for attention. Petals were swept up by the breeze, flew into the sky, and disappeared without a trace.

The place was deserted.

The group of experts were left dumbfounded, amazed by the extraordinary skill.

Perhaps, even if the Qi Sect of Fierce Liquor were alive, their methods would not be as effective as those of this outsider before them.

On a country road a hundred miles away, Baihua let out a soft breath and smiled, "Although magic is limited in this world, it's still no problem to deal with you little guys. Let me see what this hidden Qi Sect's method is all about."

Baihua opened the crimson gourd, and in an instant, a scene resembling a wizard's portrait appeared before her eyes.

She seemed to have traversed a scenic landscape, with dense, towering bamboo forests, and at the top of a cliff waterfall that seemed to hang upside down from the sky, there was an ordinary-looking thatched cottage.

A bear-man swordsman practices his sword on a cliff face.

His every move was natural and unrestrained, seemingly in accordance with the principle of harmony between man and nature.

As he wielded his sword, crimson elemental power, representing fire, began to gather around him, gradually merging into his body and his sword.

He was shirtless, and behind him appeared a pattern of a fiery phoenix, resembling the mythical phoenix.

At the same time, a resounding voice echoed in Baihua's mind.

"In the beginning of time, all things were in chaos. The Holy Emperor ruled the world and sat down with a strange man from beyond the heavens to discuss the Dao. He analyzed the primordial energy and found that it could be divided into four elements, thus establishing the profound method of the Qi system. The one as fiery as wine is the Qi system of fire; the one as stable as a mountain is the Qi system of earth; the one as gentle as a clear spring is the Qi system of water; and the one as changeable as flowing clouds is the Qi system of wind. The four elements give birth to all things. They are as vibrating as spring thunder, as deep as ice, as green as wood, and as firm as metal and stone... No matter how they change, they do not deviate from their origin. Among all the Qi systems in the world, the four elements are the foremost."

When the Holy Emperor fell, the Four Symbols collapsed, and the Primordial Qi split into four, falling into the mortal world.

Strong liquor, verdant mountains, clear springs, flowing clouds—the Four Symbols Sect was established from this.

……

I am Chen, the last disciple of the Liquor Sect. Since the fall of the Holy Emperor, the Qi Sect has declined. Fortunately, the Holy Emperor and the extraordinary man from beyond the heavens left behind a rare treasure to protect the world and prevent disasters from beyond the realm. However, the extraordinary man prophesied that the Panda Empire will inevitably face calamity in the future, and the way to save it lies in the Qi Sect.

The strong unleash their furious punches to become even stronger; may those who inherit their legacy know better!

After that slightly awkward sound, Baihua looked at the scene on the waterfall.

Black mist filled the sky, and then an eight-armed serpent demon, tens of meters tall and covered in scales, descended from the sky. Behind it was a pitch-black abyss well with an unknown destination. From within the well, there was a faint aura that even the Yuanhun Wizard, Baihua, feared.

"This is the ultimate demon-slaying technique of the Qi Sect, the Vermilion Bird Blazing Sky Sword."

boom!

The phoenix-like fiery bird pattern on the bear-man's back came to life, letting out a clear cry that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

This sword strike mobilized the power of heaven and earth, and the raging flames spread like wildfire in an instant.

The eight-armed serpent demon, a creature from the abyss comparable to a fifth-ring wizard, was swallowed up by the "Vermilion Bird" under the Heaven-Reaching Sword, vanishing in a scream.

"Hehehe, I never expected that this obscure plane would have someone capable of killing the Eight-Armed General."

A lord of the abyss, possessing the aura of a primordial spirit wizard, spreads across the heavens and earth, descending upon the cliff.

Chen was so insignificant in his presence.

Chen looked at the extraterrestrial demon before him in despair. Killing the eight-armed snake demon had already forced him to use the strongest demon-slaying technique of the Liquor Sect.

He no longer had the strength to defeat the even more powerful demon king!

"By the sages of the Strong Liquor Sect, I blame my incompetence and shallow cultivation, which prevented me from protecting this land," he said sadly.

Just now.

In the distant Central Plains.

Within the Four Symbols City, a light that reached the heavens and penetrated the earth shone forth.

The entire Panda Empire can see it.

The two illusory figures seemed to arrive at the bottom of the giant abyss in the blink of an eye.

One of them, though clearly a bear-man, possessed an ethereal, otherworldly quality, a return to simplicity.

The other one caused Baihua's expression to change slightly.

"Sauron..."

The figure was dressed in a white witch's robe, handsome, confident, and proud.

It was clearly the bear-man elder, the first Holy Emperor, gazing at the abyss well. Around him were the phantom images of four giant beasts, including the blazing firebird.

"The Four Symbols Open the Heavens!"

boom!

The aroma of strong liquor, the aroma of verdant mountains, the aroma of clear springs, the aroma of flowing clouds—these four elements combined form:

The primordial energy of creation!

The phantom images of four colossal beasts crashed into the abyss well!

The abyss lord vanished in astonishment, disappearing in an instant. The terrifying shockwaves entered the well of the abyss, and demons died amidst screams.

Until an even more terrifying abyssal demon lord, whose power made all flowers tremble across time and space, blocked the attack of the four colossal beasts with his majestic body, protecting the Well of the Abyss.

It was wrapped in thousands of black chains, each chain entwined with the souls of tens of thousands of abyssal demons.

"Falkric, the Chain Lord, who was only able to achieve his status by slaughtering millions of demons in the Abyss, is the supreme among the Chain Demons... A top-tier demon lord beyond the six hundredth level of the Abyss, comparable to a peak ninth-ring Archmage, he once killed a ruler of a multi-dimensional plane, and during the thousand-year blood war with the Astral Gods, he devoured an angel alive..."

Baihua was deeply moved.

This terrifying being had actually invaded this seemingly weak world.

The Four Symbols' Heaven-Opening Strike ultimately vanished without a trace.

The bear-man elder looked at Soren.

The phantom of Sauron remained calm, his gaze distant as he stared at the chain lord without uttering a word.

"Even if you are a projection of the power left behind by a legendary wizard, I am the Lord of Chains, the Abyss..."

The Chain Lord hadn't finished speaking.

His body began to disintegrate inch by inch, shattering like glass. Cracks began to spread throughout the entire sky, and the Well of the Abyss began to collapse, disappearing completely into the world.

The sky returned to normal, as if the invasion from the abyss had never happened.

"What's this move called, Lord Soren?" the bear-man elder asked.

"...Sauron's Great Disintegration is usually reserved for high-ranking figures. Using it here is a bit of a waste of its potential."

"The strength of this world is declining..." the bear-man elder suddenly sighed.

Don't worry, everything will be alright.

……

The first day of the Primordial Moon in the year 1113 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

The 82th year of the Great Expedition.

Hades City.

Inside the Wizard's Tower.

Li Wei had just finished the 11th Round Table Meeting of the Twilight Knights with his members.

When the meeting ended, Li Wei sat alone in his seat, staring at the empty table.

Suddenly, Möbius sighed, "Ah...time flies."

"Why is Mr. Möbius so moved?" Levi asked.

"Back then, it was Sauron and his eighteen companions who held this meeting here. Now, seeing your faces, full of hope for the future, it's hard not to feel a bit emotional..."

"Fellow travelers?" Li Wei asked.

"Yes, eighteen individuals from different planes, with varying strengths and paths, but all recognized by Lord Soren, are referred to by him as 'fellow travelers'."

"Who are your companions? Mr. Möbius, would you mind telling me? I'm quite interested."

"There's nothing inconvenient about it. Let me think... We have the [Mechanical Sage], the [Arcane Emperor], the [Primordial Saint Emperor]..."

Li Wei listened quietly. The Arcane Emperor—he seemed to have heard of him.

In the ancient book "Grave of the Fireflies," the plane of Oser, where the Firefly Master resided, once gave birth to a prosperous spellcaster civilization, which later perished under the terrifying insects and evolved into the Firefly Master civilization.

As for the existence of beings like the Primordial Saint Emperor and the Mechanical Sage, that falls into Li Wei's blind spot.

"The Mechanical Sage should be something like an alchemist, which sounds pretty powerful... As for the Primordial Saint Emperor? Judging from the title alone, it's impossible to guess anything."

Li Wei shook his head. These important figures were too far removed from him, and after so much time, they had most likely perished.

"Master, the Rose Witch has arrived," Argenta's voice rang out.

"Let her in."

"OK."

Not long after, the Rose Witch arrived at Levi's drawing room with a thin male wizard.

"Lord Newt, it's been a long time," Levi said with a smile.

"Lord Levi, please forgive me for being too busy with my studies. Even though I know you live in Hades City, I haven't had time to visit you," Newt said.

"How is it at Starfire Wizarding Academy?" Levi asked.

He asked Argenta to serve tea to the two guests.

"It's quite nice. The atmosphere in the academy is different from the organizations I've been in before. I wasn't used to it at first, but I got used to it. By the way, I chatted with Lord Xavier before, and we happened to mention you. I was surprised to find that Lord Xavier actually knows you?"

"Haha, we do know each other, he's also a good friend of mine," Li Wei laughed.

"Lord Newt, what brings you here today?" Levi asked.

Newt nodded and said, "The first thing is that I'd like to invite you to Principal Garcia's Soul Ceremony. Xavier asked me to do this; he misses you terribly... The second thing is, I'd like to ask how Alice's Ring is doing?"

"No problem, I'll definitely participate. I also want to see a real Yuanhun powerhouse... Alice Ring is in good condition right now, and I'll definitely repair it in the future, so don't worry, Lord Newt," Levi said.

Newt nodded.

"Actually... there's one more thing, about Rose. Does Lord Levi have a solution?" Newt asked, somewhat embarrassed.

Li Wei shook his head and said helplessly, "That's unsolvable. The Nightmare World is too unknown and terrifying for us. Let's wait for the Flower Witch to arrive."

"Okay." Newtella held the Rose Witch's hand, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Li Wei watched the young couple leave, feeling helpless.

He can use the Rose Witch's "Nightmare" as an entry point to enter the Nightmare World.

He will most likely also meet the culprit who gave her nightmares, the human-faced spider.

The question is, how can he defeat the Spider-Man?

He's just a third-ring wizard, only good enough to put on a show in a newbie village like the Human Realm. Going straight into a difficult dungeon like the Nightmare World is just courting death.

……

The year 1113 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Frosty Winter.

Inside Livy's Wizard Tower.

There is a huge crucible.

The crucible contained molten obsidian in boiling hot liquid.

Li Wei was happily soaking in the pot of molten gold, chanting complex incantations.

Golden runes began to appear on Li Wei's bronze body, shimmering brightly.

"After six years, the Radiant Gold Body Refinement Technique is complete. This 'Radiant Gold Body Refinement Technique' is truly expensive, but the person who created this technique is also remarkable. He directly imprinted the Radiant Gold power runes onto the wizard's body, thus giving the wizard a body of steel comparable to that forged from Radiant Gold. Once perfected, it is even harder than Radiant Gold itself."

Li Wei——————

Radiant Gold Body Refining Technique: Tier 5 (126/30000), Special Effect: Radiant Gold Witch Body (Level 5).

……

Li Wei felt the changes in his body. The wizard's body-refining method was similar to a passive defensive spell like "Diamond Body," but it was more complex and systematic.

In general, a wizard's body refinement still relies on the support of mental and magical power. The difference between a body-refining wizard and an ordinary wizard lies only in their outward expression. Ordinary wizards use powerful spells to attack, while body-refining wizards use their magically enhanced bodies to attack. One is good at ranged attacks, and the other is good at melee combat. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, but the mainstream is still the ordinary wizard. Body refinement can only be considered a side path.

Li Wei emerged from the crucible.

The molten obsidian in the crucible was one layer less than when he entered.

The molten iron has transformed into the power of the obsidian runes and merged into Li Wei's body.

"Once this pot of molten iron has been completely absorbed, the Radiant Gold Body Refining Technique should be fully mastered."

"Speaking of the Radiant Gold Body Refining Technique and the Mixed Poison True Body, both are methods of refining the body using witchcraft. I wonder if they can be fused together. If they can, then my Mixed Poison True Body might be able to break through."

Li Wei initially practiced the mixed poison technique just for fun.

But after pushing it to its limit, Li Wei discovered that this thing was really useful, far exceeding his expectations.

To some extent, the mixed poison true form can be used as a "puppet clone" of Li Wei.

It can be used to fight enemies or to mark them, and it is almost immortal. As long as the swarm of poisonous creatures is not wiped out, it can always recover by relying on its powerful splitting and regeneration ability. It is a standard demonic boss technique.

There's still some time before Garcia's Soul Ceremony. Li Wei's main reason for emerging from seclusion this time is to participate in the annual grand auction in Hades City:

"Night of Hades"

He returned to the wizarding world to purchase more of the knowledge, resources, and materials he needed.

According to the information he obtained from the Witch's House, there will be many truly good things appearing during this "Night of Hades".

It's said that they even sell breakthrough potions for advancing to the fourth ring.

Li Wei has always refined his own breakthrough potions throughout his journey.

However, he now has to succumb to the harsh reality and concoct potions himself. Just collecting the materials will take a lot of time, and there is also the possibility of failure.

As the quality of medicines increases, the rarity of materials skyrockets. Often, it's already a feat to collect even one batch of medicine-making materials. If you fail, it's impossible to know when you'll be able to collect them all again.

So if you encounter this situation again, you should still buy it.

If purchased through legitimate channels, the probability of it being counterfeit is low.

"The main problem is that I don't know anything about succubus milk."

Li Wei felt helpless.

Six years have passed since I obtained the succubus potion recipe, and I haven't encountered a single succubus. I also have no idea where all the demons that escaped from the Well of the Abyss have gone.

Some time ago, he even went to the wizard brothel in Hades City where he often played games and saw if there were any succubi working there.

If so, then hire a succubus and bring back some fresh milk to make medicine.

It turned out he was overthinking it. The brothel contained women from various races of strange humanoid races, including mink, low elves, sea creatures, and others—but no demons…

Pluto Auction House.

Li Wei had already booked a private room. The private room could isolate him from detection and prevent others from targeting him, but the price was a bit expensive, requiring an extra thousand taels of silver.

"I currently have 700,000 Tai Shi. If I get a fourth-ring breakthrough potion, I'll take it if it costs no more than 400,000! I need to keep 300,000 in reserve."

After all, I still need to buy materials for the [Purgatory Ghost Slayer Array] here, and I also need to set aside some money for meditation aid potion materials... There are places to spend money everywhere, and recently none of those weak black wizards have come to rob me, what a pity..."

Black wizards are really mysterious; when you actively seek them out, you can't find a single one.

Soon, the auction house was filled with wizards.

Li Wei participated in the advanced session, which was only open to wizards of intermediate or higher rank.

He glanced around and, judging from the seating arrangement, there were about a hundred mid-level wizards from Hades City attending the auction.

"This is the Sea of ​​Stars."

Of course, most of these people are third-ring wizards, fourth-ring wizards are rare, and fifth-ring wizards are extremely rare.

Before long, the auction witch came to the front of the stage.

The first item up for auction was a three-ringed witchcraft artifact, which Li Wei showed little interest in.

He could destroy a three-ringed magical artifact with a single, full-force sword strike.

"The next item is a four-ring magical artifact, Minnie's Magic House. This artifact was obtained by a friend from a dark wizard. It is a spatial artifact that can be used to raise alien insects and extraordinary creatures. It has a large living space inside and the elemental power is relatively concentrated, so extraordinary creatures can also grow inside."

This magical artifact has a starting bid of 10 Taishi, with each bid increment no less than 100 Taishi.

Li Wei's expression shifted.

"Minnie's Clubhouse? Forget it, it's not a necessity for me anymore... I'll save my money for potions." Li Wei sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat sentimental.

He recalled his time in Stromgarde, the years he fought for Minnie's Clubhouse, only to learn the devastating news that it had been taken away by the dark wizard.

In general, spatial magical artifacts are not very valuable. Although they can hold living things, they cannot directly enhance the strength of a wizard.

But Minnie's Clubhouse was still bought by a wizard for 15 dollars.

Goodbye, Minnie Mouse Clubhouse, goodbye, my youth.

After a wait, the auctioneer brought up a vial of medicine in a clear bottle.

"This is the Heart of Lady Night, a breakthrough potion that can help liquefy spiritual energy. It can increase the success rate of breaking through from the third ring to the fourth ring by 30%. Our auction house has verified that it is an authentic potion. I suppose most of you here tonight are here for this potion, right? I won't say any more. The starting price is 20 Taishi, and each bid must be at least 500 Taishi."

The appearance of this potion instantly brought the atmosphere of the entire auction to a climax.

"25 Taishi!"

A person dressed in a golden lightning robe walked out of the private room.

"They're from the Lightney family?"

"Yes, it seems to be Geoffrey Letney... the Golden Thrower, Godfrey Letney's grandson."

"Are all the big families so short of potions? Why are they competing with us ordinary wizards from the city for them...?"

The people in the audience sighed and groaned.

The wizard Joffrey deliberately came out of the box, revealing his identity as a member of the Letney family; his intention was quite clear.

Li Wei frowned slightly, not in a hurry to make an offer. Revealing the Lightney family's identity might scare away some competitors, but with so many people, there were bound to be some bold ones.

"Fine, if I can snatch 500,000 Tai Shi, that's good enough... This is really killing me. My Lake Fairy Potion only sold for 100,000, but this Madam Ye Potion looks like it'll fetch several times that price."

as predicted.

Not long after.

That night, the price of Lady's Heart jumped to 400,000.

"It seems there are quite a few wealthy wizards in Hades City..." Li Wei sensed something was wrong.

"45!" George Floyd's face darkened. He had underestimated the allure of this potion to the wizards of Hades City.

"Kid, don't try to take it from me. Do you think your Letney family, which is so big, is lacking in this potion?" From the corner, a fifth-ring wizard dressed in a white bone robe with a gloomy face walked out of the private room and spoke.

Joffrey looked at the other person, his expression changing slightly.

"Joffrey greets Senior Wild Bones, but I am determined to obtain this potion, and I hope Senior will grant my request."

Although the Letney family has abundant resources, items like breakthrough potions are not something every third-ring wizard disciple can obtain.

Only the most outstanding among their peers have a chance to receive it; the competition within the family is extremely fierce.

In the previous family competition, Joffrio lost to Regorio, a fallen genius. After obtaining the breakthrough potion, Regorio died mysteriously, and no clues have been found to this day.

Impatient for the next family competition, Joffrey could only search for potions outside.

The fifth-ring wizard in front of me is called Wildbone. He is a wizard of the Death School and is quite famous in the Starry Sea.

Even though Joffrio came from a powerful family, he didn't want to offend such a strong person easily.

"Then let's see who has the best skills," Wild Bones said calmly. He had bought it for a blood relative, and if it was too expensive, it wouldn't be worth it, which was why he revealed his identity in an attempt to dissuade Joffrio.

Li Wei watched quietly as the two men raised the price to 530,000 taels of silver.

"I'm going crazy, I'd rather keep waiting for the succubus."

He has too many uses for his money, and anyway, he's still a decade or two away from achieving mental energy liquefaction, so there's no rush.

In the end, the wild bone wizard prevailed and took the potion.

Geoffrey looked grim and left before the auction was even over.

Not getting the potion left Li Wei slightly disappointed; he almost wanted to shout right now, "Who the hell has the succubus's milk?!"

"The last item up for auction is a book of alchemy, called 'Frankenstein's Secret Workshop.' According to our investigation, this book is the legacy of Nicolas Flamel, the most famous alchemist in the Endless Sea, who lived ten thousand years ago. Because it was destroyed in the war, some of the contents of this book are missing. However, it still contains more than fifty kinds of low-level alchemy blueprints, ten kinds of third-level alchemy blueprints, and three kinds of fourth-level alchemy blueprints."

If there are any alchemists present, they absolutely cannot miss this inheritance. The starting bid is 20 Taishi, and each bid must be at least 500 Taishi higher.

Li Wei, who had originally planned to leave, sat down again.

"The intelligence didn't mention this good stuff... Well, for most wizards, the most important thing is the breakthrough potion. In any case, we have to get this inheritance book."

Li Wei was open to all knowledge, especially systematic books of transmission.

He already has books such as "The Book of Cyphers", "The Book of Starforging Runes", and "The Grave of the Fireflies", but he is still missing a book on alchemy heritage.

The alchemy faction is a very small faction. According to the tower master, as of now, the strongest members of this faction are only a few Yuanhun Wizards.

Therefore, very few wizards choose to become alchemists; it's a dead end and a waste of money...

Nicolas Flamel is one of the most famous figures in the history of alchemy. He was a primordial spirit wizard in his lifetime and put forward many alchemical theories. The Tower Master highly praised him.

There were clearly several alchemists or wealthy people interested in alchemy present, and they all started bidding.

Li Wei wasn't in a hurry; he waited until they raised the price to 370,000.

He made the final decision immediately.

"Four hundred thousand."

In an instant, many eyes turned to Li Wei's private room.

Even in Hades City, not many people can come up with 400,000.

Is anyone else here?

After a while, no one else bid.

Li Wei obtained the Book of Inheritance without any difficulty.

"Leaving aside the low-level blueprints, just the ten types of third-ring blueprints and three types of fourth-ring blueprints are enough to make a profit."

Li Wei consoled himself, after all, another 400,000 was gone.

The auction has ended.

Li Wei received the Book of Inheritance backstage and left in a hurry. He didn't like auction houses because of the crowds and distractions.

After circling around several times, going to several crowded places, and changing his appearance a few times, he returned to the wizard's tower and closed the magic circle.

Li Wei felt the hairs on his arms stand on end.

"Is someone still watching me?"

He felt he had hidden it very well.

However, the sense of danger was not very strong. It seemed that the enemy was not very strong or the hostility was not very strong, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Among the crowd on the street, a gray-robed wizard stared expressionlessly at the wizard tower where Li Wei lived.

"This person is very similar to the Levi in ​​the memories of the rookie wizard named Grimm whom I killed a long time ago."

He seems like a very cautious person, but unfortunately, he still made many mistakes in the face of the great Mind Flayer.

This grey-robed wizard was none other than the one who had killed Grimm and Tommen; to be precise, he was a demon.

Mind flayers, the most notorious race in the Abyss, are natural spellcasters. Every mind flayer is a master of mind, sucking brain marrow and stealing the memories of other creatures as easily as taking candy from a baby.

They are also adept at disguise, cunning and treacherous, and are among the abyssal demons that wizards least want to face.

"This Li Wei's body is quite good, much better than my current one. It will make it easier for me to move around in the Wizarding World. I'll find an opportunity to take him... But for now, I should go to the Demon Banquet hosted by Blackfeather Demon King Victor."

The Demon's Feast is a gathering of abyssal demons hosted by Victor, the former Lord of the Abyss.

Those who participate in the banquet are all demons hidden in the endless sea.

a few days later.

The night sky over the endless sea is filled with dazzling stars.

The Mind Flayer left Hades City and arrived at the seventh district of the Inner Ring Sea.

This is the territory of the Thunder Dragon family, and also the most suitable hiding place for demons.

Because the Black Feather Demon King Victor is now residing in the body of the Thunder Dragon Clan's patriarch, Thunder Spear Soret.

The Thunder Dragon Clan was at the height of its power, and Thunder Spear could break through the fifth ring at any moment and enter the realm of Yuanhun Wizard.

The Demon's Feast takes place in one of the most private little dungeons in Thunderspear.

The entrance to the secret realm is on a deserted island.

The Mind-Stealing Demon chants incantations.

The next moment, a dark vortex appeared in mid-air above the island and sucked it in.

When he reappeared, he was already in an abandoned mine.

"Gilmore, you're too late," a voice called out.

"I was held up by some matters in Hades City," the Mind Flayer said with a smile.

In the center of the mine stands a rock throne, upon which a Thunder Spear clad in a purple lightning robe gazes at the Mind Flayer.

In Soret's arms sat a female demon with pale purple skin. She had ram's horns, bat wings on her back, long legs, and two ripe melons that emitted a rich milky fragrance... Her hooves-like feet swung casually as she gazed at the Mind Flayer with seductive eyes.

"That damned bitch Miraa, trying to use her charm on the great Mind Flayer," the Mind Flayer Gilmore cursed inwardly.

Although he was dissatisfied, he couldn't say it out loud, after all, that succubus bitch was Soret's lover.

Well... you could also consider him Victor's lover, since they share one body.

Besides the mind flayers and succubi, there were more than a dozen other demons in the mine, all hiding in the darkness and emitting eerie laughter.

These are all demon forces gathered by Demon King Victor, most of whom are level four demons with formidable strength.

"Victor has been busy lately, so I'll be hosting this Demon's Banquet. You can share your recent intelligence with me." Soret stroked the succubus's long, smooth legs.

"You? A mere human?" A level four Balrog, engulfed in flames, sneered.

"Oh? You're not convinced?" Soret said calmly, a terrifying purple lightning crackling at his fingertips.

"No... I just wanted you to know that we're gathered here because of the Black Feather Demon King." The Balrog Demon cowered.

"Let me go first. According to the intelligence I obtained in Hades City, the city lord of Hades City is currently in seclusion, and the other Yuanhun Wizards who are stationed in Hades City have also been secretly transferred away... In other words, Hades City is actually no longer guarded by any Yuanhun Wizards," said the Mind-Stealing Demon.

"This is good news..." Soret pondered, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly, Soret's expression changed. The succubus in his arms was actually stroking his little Soret during the meeting.

"Stop fooling around. Don't forget, you're just my tool," Soret said with displeasure. He wasn't one of those novice wizards who would be seduced by succubi.

The ultimate price those guys paid was either turning into dried-up corpses or becoming slaves of the succubus queen.

While these demons were having their banquet.

Inside Hades' city.

Livy was engrossed in studying "The Secret Workshop of Flamel" in the Wizard's Tower.

These days, that hostility has been looming, and Li Wei has gotten used to it.

Since he doesn't become a monk, that guy obviously wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him.

After he finished his work and made all the necessary preparations, he deliberately left Hades City to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes, kill him, and eliminate any future troubles.

"The Tyrant II needs to be replaced. Among the three-ring alchemy blueprints recorded in this book, there is a war weapon called 'Wanderer,' which is quite good. This is the one."

Li Wei finalized the plan to transform and upgrade the Tyrant II.

In his spare time, he would work on reforming the tyrant in the alchemy chamber.

……

Time flies by, leaving no trace.

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

The year 1116 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Blazing Fire.

The Great Expedition is in its 85th year.

During these three years, Li Wei successfully crafted the [Wanderer] and raised his weapon crafting skill to the third level.

He named the wanderer "Tyrant III".

Tyrant III stands approximately five meters tall at the shoulder, his entire body crafted from obsidian gold, and equipped with the Alchemist Sawsword and Alchemist Vulcan Cannon, among other weapons developed by Levi based on "The Secret Workshop of Flamel".

In terms of strength, he is no match for an ordinary third-ring wizard.

Of course, what Li Wei coveted even more was the fourth-circle alchemy blueprint in the book of inheritance, which depicted an alchemical creature called the Skywalker, capable of rivaling a fourth-circle wizard.

It is known as the "Alchemy Sword Under the Sky".

With a single sword strike, Si Huan died.

However, crafting the Skywalker requires even higher-grade materials. The limit of Radiant Gold is the Wanderer, a three-ring alchemical creature.

Of course, alchemy is only one aspect. Over the years of cultivation, Li Wei's mental strength has also reached 180 points, getting closer and closer to the limit.

However, the biggest achievement of these three years was that Li Wei successfully trained the [Radiant Gold Body Refining Technique] to the seventh level and discovered that the wizard's body refining techniques could indeed be fused.

He then merged with the [Mixed Poison True Body] and obtained a brand new body-refining method.
