Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 256 The Yuanhun Ceremony (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

Golden Poison Body Refining Technique.

It combines the characteristics of the true form of the mixed poison being immortal and indestructible, and extremely poisonous.

At the same time, because the Poisonous Swarm absorbed all the Radiant Gold elemental power that Li Wei had absorbed during the fusion process, the Poisonous Swarm's defensive strength increased several levels.

This fundamentally changed the nature of the swarm of highly poisonous creatures.

Li Wei sat upright in front of the mirror in the wizard's tower.

His skin shimmered with a golden luster, and the shimmering golden runes completely covered the golden scales on Li Wei's body.

Every inch of his flesh and every bone radiated a faint golden light.

"It's a bit like the Invincible Vajra Divine Skill from my past life," Li Wei said with a smile.

In the blink of an eye, countless golden runes danced around his body, and gushing golden liquid surged from his limbs and bones.

Then, the golden liquid miraculously left Li Wei's body, swirling, circling, and tumbling around him.

The golden liquid gathered before Li Wei, coalescing into a golden, faceless figure composed of liquid.

If Barzan were to see this, he would be incredibly surprised.

This Radiant Gold Witch Body is completely integrated with the physical body and bones; how could it possibly be separated?

"I must say, the swarm of highly venomous creatures is truly amazing."

Li Wei sighed with emotion.

This is possible thanks to the swarm of highly venomous creatures.

Although the Blackwater Witch's self-created Mixed Poison True Body is not of a high level, its intent far surpasses that of other body-refining witches.

Because he combined the knowledge of the Insect Lamp Master civilization to create a special rule insect with strong growth potential: the Poisonous Swarm.

His true form as a hybrid of poisons is also rooted in this group of highly toxic substances.

It can be said that the swarm of highly toxic creatures is itself a hybrid of poisons.

The swarm of venomous creatures is essentially a cluster of tiny parasitic organisms that is constantly splitting and dying. It can either merge into Li Wei's body to enhance his physical abilities, or it can leave his body to form a cluster of life forms similar to "clones".

After fusing with the Radiant Gold Witch Body, the once black, highly poisonous swarm underwent a life-level evolution, transforming into the Radiant Gold Highly Poisonous Swarm.

While retaining its original characteristics, its defensive capabilities have been greatly enhanced.

The final result was the golden faceless figure standing before Li Wei.

The faceless creature was like fluid, capable of changing shape at will. In a moment of thought, it transformed into a golden river flowing around the wizard's tower; in another, it became a large golden shield, or a greatsword, or armor...

"Isn't this more fragrant than witchcraft artifacts?"

This reminded Li Wei of the liquid metal robot T-1000 from the movie "Terminator" in his previous life.

boom.

The golden faceless man exploded, scattering into a cloud of golden mist that covered the walls of the wizard's tower.

"Come back."

After he had his fill of playing with it, he put the golden faceless man back into his body.

His body turned golden and shiny again.

"If this body-refining technique can be continuously evolved and fused, then it can create a body-refining wizard clone at the same level as oneself, and at the same time it can be a wizard artifact that can both attack and defend, killing two birds with one stone."

Moreover, it can also be used to conceal my knightly methods, completely disguising me as a body-refining wizard... at most, with the added identity of a dragonborn wizard.

The Golden Voodoo Body clone is completely controlled by my consciousness. It only has a low-level collective consciousness and no independent consciousness, so there is no possibility of it turning against its master.

With just this Golden Witch Poison Body clone at the peak of the third ring, I can stand proudly among the third ring wizards. Even ordinary fourth ring wizards should be able to put up a fight against me.

Once I break through to the fourth ring and my mental strength becomes even stronger, I can advance the Golden Poison Body Refining Technique to the eighth level, thus possessing a body-refining clone with the strength of a fourth ring.

However, the Wizard Body Refinement Method, while seemingly quick to cultivate, is actually due to Li Wei's strong knightly foundation, wizarding level, and the bug-like proficiency panel.

Ultimately, what truly limits the speed of body-refining cultivation is the cultivation of mental strength.

Therefore, this path does not break out of the wizard's framework and is completely different from the knight's path.

Given Li Wei's current level of skill, it's impossible for him to fuse the Wizard's Body Refinement Technique and the Knight's Breathing Technique.

After experiencing the Golden Voodoo Body, Li Wei felt a faint hostility.

"Three years...it's been three whole years! I was just attending an auction, why is anyone still after me?...Could it be that damn fire elemental spirit?"

Li Wei suddenly realized that if the fire elemental spirit were alive, the person it would hate the most would probably be him...

So its resentment was so great that Levi could sense it even across the subspace.

"It shouldn't be it. There was no hostility before I attended the auction. It must have been created after I attended the auction... Never mind, I'm going out of the city anyway to attend the Soul Ceremony at Starfire Wizard Academy. I want to see who's been trying to harm me all day long..."

Li Wei spent a few more days cultivating in the wizard's tower, consolidating his Golden Witch Poison Body.

The so-called "Primal Soul Ceremony".

It must be the grandest ceremony of every high-ranking wizarding organization in the wizarding world.

The only ceremonies that can be grander than the Yuanhun Wizard Ceremony are the Grand Wizard Ceremony or the Legendary Ceremony... Obviously, given how rare Grand Wizards and Legendary Wizards are, they might not be held even once every hundred years in the entire wizarding world.

Comparatively speaking, the easiest to hold is the Yuanhun Wizard.

This ceremony is probably a customary rule in the wizarding world.

Basically, every wizard who breaks through to the Yuan Soul stage, whether through individual cultivation or by an organization, will hold such a ceremony.

Even some wizards who are usually low-key and cautious will hold a ceremony after the Yuanhun (Primal Soul) is formed to announce it to the public.

Even outlaws like black wizards would risk being discovered and hunted down by the authorities by holding a ceremony and inviting some of their cronies to attend.

It's not for any other reason than to "receive gifts," similar to the monetary gifts given at a wedding in a previous life.

After all, whether it's to befriend a Yuanhun Wizard or for the sake of face.

Those who attend the ceremony will definitely bring some gifts, more or less. Some people who like to compete and show off will take advantage of the Yuanhun Ceremony to deliberately give some gifts of slightly higher value to show their strength and status. Of course, those who dare to do this are basically wizards who are confident in themselves or have the backing of a large organization.

This seemingly vulgar trend also exists in the wizarding world.

As long as there are people, there will always be human relationships and social customs.

From preparation to publicity, Garcia's Soul Ceremony has been going on for several years now, and many organizations and wizards in the Starry Sea have received invitations.

For Garcia, this was an opportunity. It was no easy feat for a Black Pearl boy to have reached his current status. If he could make more friends during the ceremony and support each other on the path of wizardry, his future would be even smoother.

"I don't seem to have any valuable items to offer... they're all stolen goods. Oh well, I'll just pay up." Li Wei smiled wryly.

"Argenta, you stay here and watch the house, I'm going out for a bit."

Li Wei patted the white wolf girl's head; it felt so good.

"Yes, Master."

"Argenta said obediently."

Her strength is quite good now, almost equivalent to a first-level senior wizard. Taiga, who was once stronger than her, can now only fight her to a draw.

As for the leopard and lion brothers, unfortunately, they both failed to break through to the legendary level.

They were already quite old and couldn't do much work, so Li Wei let them retire inside Alice's Ring.

Li Wei strolled through Hades' city.

Along the way, I saw many people selling their properties.

He stopped by the Witch's House, where Klee was fast asleep, lying on her books. When Celia saw Levi arrive, she couldn't help but smile and say, "Lord Levi, it seems you have some good news."

"I've made a minor breakthrough in my cultivation, but it's nothing to mention. Reaching the fourth ring is still a long way off," Li Wei said with a smile.

"Sigh, me too. Getting a fourth ring is so hard. My talent is average, I can't afford potions, and I can't possibly have any Truth Treasures... It's really frustrating," Celia said.

"Does Ms. Triss have any tasks for me to complete recently?" Levi asked.

"No, not at the moment. Ms. Triss went to the Central Realm for a meeting and has been gone for some time."

"I see. By the way... Miss Celia, why are there so many wizard towers and mansions for sale in Hades City lately?" Levi asked curiously.

"It's just that some people have heard rumors that Hades City is no longer guarded by Yuanhun spirits and is less safe than other witch cities, so they've sold their mansions here and moved to other witch cities," Celia said with a smile, clearly not taking these rumors seriously.

Li Wei and Celia exchanged pleasantries for a while before Li Wei left.

"No elemental spirit wizard is in charge?"

As far as Li Wei knew, the Lord of Hades City was a Yuanhun Wizard, and there must be other Yuanhun cultivators hiding here.

Moreover, Hades City provides direct access to the Witch's House headquarters, where a Soul Wizard is stationed.

If anything happens in Hades City, a powerful figure there will come to the rescue.

"It's not a big problem."

After leaving Hades City, Li Wei took out his Flying Shark, sat inside, and had Corin pilot it. The Flying Shark transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

He appeared to be meditating with his eyes closed, but in reality, he seemed to be deep in thought.

Not long after Li Wei left, another figure appeared in the sky outside Hades City.

It was that grey-robed wizard.

"This human is quite boring. Three years... He's finally willing to leave Hades City. But no one can outlast a Mind Flayer in terms of patience," the Mind Flayer Gilmore sneered.

"I can sense that he seems to have become stronger, which is a good thing. If I can take over his body, I can better unleash my full potential."

Mind flayers are a race skilled in mental power and spiritual cultivation, but their physical bodies are among the weakest of all demons, which is their Achilles' heel.

However, it can use its innate ability to possess powerful bodies for its own use.

They are the hermit crabs of the wizarding world, forever searching for a stronger "shell".

Thinking of this, the Mind Flayer quickly followed.

The Flying Shark sailed silently on the sea, and the Mind Flayer, relying on its powerful innate abilities, concealed its presence and gradually caught up.

This place is deserted, perfect for making a move.

"My mental strength is unmatched by most fourth-circle wizards. He is only a third-circle wizard, so using mental illusions to deal with him is the most suitable and safest approach. With his level of mental strength, my illusions will definitely be able to catch him."

Before making a move, the Mind Flayer likes to rely on a calm mind to analyze and choose the most appropriate attack.

This is different from many other demons who act on instinct.

Of course, deep down, Mind Flayer remains tyrannical and bloodthirsty.

All demons of the abyss are like this.

"I wonder what the brain marrow of this body-refining wizard tastes like?"

The gray-robed wizard was expressionless, with faint, transparent tentacles extending from his face and waving in mid-air.

These tentacles shimmered with purple light.

"Mind Spell: Deep Purple Dream!"

As a powerful mind flayer, mind magic is his innate ability, so he does not need to chant or cast spells.

The next moment, those purple light spots flew out and silently vanished in the sky.

A purple light flashed across the sky and earth in an instant, turning the clouds purple.

The purple light lasted for a moment before disappearing without a trace.

"I've been infected."

After careful consideration, the Mind Flayer did not rush to go, but waited in place for a while.

Accompanying its spellcasting.

All creatures within the spell's range were forced into the illusion created by the Mind Flayer.

A terrifying sea monster suddenly attacks an ordinary fish swimming in the sea, and it swims desperately.

In reality, it was just wandering back and forth on the seabed, and there were no sea creatures there.

Inside the Flying Shark.

Koren stared blankly ahead.

Before him stood the "Extreme Fire Ancestral Witch".

"Koren, you betrayed me! Die!"

"Teacher, I didn't, I didn't..." Koren shouted, trying to escape the terrifying magical attack of the Ancestral Witch, but in reality he was rolling around on the spot.

Inside the cabin, Li Wei also collapsed to the ground, seemingly trapped in a nightmare from which he could not escape.

"This awful class, I really don't want to go anymore!"

He kept pounding the ground.

Unbeknownst to them, a figure had already passed through the magic array of the Flying Shark and landed on the deck, looking at the struggling Levi and Coron.

"What does 'going to work' mean? It doesn't sound like a good thing, yet it terrifies this wizard so much... Come on, let me free you from this predicament."

The gray-robed wizard's robes were now completely shattered, and a purplish-blue humanoid monster emerged from the decaying and dried corpse, dripping with blood and wet, like a fledgling that had just hatched from its egg.

Its purple tentacles waved on its head, containing powerful spiritual energy.

"Come on, let me drain your brains." It used magic to imprison Li Wei, its tentacles extending and surging towards Li Wei's head.

boom.

The next moment, blood mist filled the cabin of the Flying Shark.

The mind flayer realized that he had apparently come up empty-handed.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's actually the infamous Mind Flayer."

From within the blood mist came Li Wei's laughter.

The next moment, the blood mist condensed and took shape, from which a golden flash suddenly flew out.

With a bang.

The Mind Flayer's frail body was knocked down by the golden flash, crashing through the cabin of the Flying Shark.

"You...you weren't under an illusion? How is that possible? With your mental strength, my illusion is guaranteed to work!"

The Mind Flayer was extremely confident in his mind illusions. Compared to his own, the illusions of the Dream School at the same level were nothing.

He's a master in this field.

"Psychic shock!"

boom!

As the Mind Flayer retreated, it unleashed powerful mental attack spells that could directly affect consciousness and mental strength.

As a result, the Golden Voodoo Body that flew towards them was completely unharmed after passing through it.

It's merely the lowest level of collective consciousness. These higher-level attacks targeting the mind are useless against it; it's like trying to insult an enemy in classical Chinese—the enemy is illiterate and won't understand a word...

boom.

Although it was only a clone at the peak of the third ring, the Mind Flayer was still caught off guard and in a sorry state.

"Oh no, I've fallen for his trap! He's pretending to be under an illusion to lure me close. Because he's a body-refining wizard, he's only good at close combat, not..."

The analysis of the Mind Flayer is not yet complete.

A fiery dragon was already rushing towards us, and a wave of heat swept over us.

"Spiritual barrier!"

An invisible force field barrier lit up around the Mind Flayer.

boom!

The barrier trembled and cracks spread, but it managed to block the terrifying fire dragon's attack.

"This power is no less than that of an ordinary fourth-circle wizard..." The Mind Flayer was shocked.

Damn it, this kid is playing dumb to fool everyone, and the problem is, I actually fell for it!

Arriving in the wizarding world, things went too smoothly, and I became a little careless.

"Let's retreat first. I'm not good at head-on confrontations, and the enemy has already spotted me. There's no need to continue," the Mind Flayer thought to himself.

The next moment, a sword aura composed of grayish-white air currents arrived in an instant.

Click.

The Mind Flayer's spiritual barrier.

Utterly shattered!

"It can actually break through my spiritual energy barrier!" The Mind Flayer became even more determined to escape.

Chariot runes flashed on Li Wei's body, and crimson power was being frantically activated.

The Mind Flayer was determined to escape.

Suddenly, another golden figure appeared ahead, blocking the Mind Flayer's path. It held a chainsaw sword and had a large-caliber Vulcan cannon with flames erupting from its chest.

Vulcan Cannon! Maximum power!

One shot, a thousand taels of silver!

"Damn it, he knew I was going to kill him, so he had the alchemical creatures ambush me!" the Mind Flayer thought in terror. "I can't die here!"

boom!

The light from the Vulcan cannon pierced the sky, tearing apart heaven and earth.

The spiritual energy barrier that the Mind Flayer had reconstituted trembled and cracked.

"You really think I'm afraid of you?"

"The Realm of Inner Demons!"

The mind flayer's tentacles danced and stretched wildly, and he floated high into the air like a god.

A powerful mental energy field formed around him.

Boom! Boom!

Two muffled thuds.

Both the Golden Voodoo Body and Tyrant III crashed into an invisible wall and were sent flying backward.

"die!"

Li Wei has arrived.

His second-level Flame Dragon True Form possesses unparalleled power.

The Crimson Dragon Iron-Slaying Divine Weapon, which had been nurtured to level three by Li Wei, slashed at the invisible force field with its indestructible sword energy.

Click click.

Cracks began to spread across the force field, like glass about to shatter.

"Mind control!"

The Mind Flayer saw that the enemy could not break through its defenses in the short term.

He directly activated a mind spell.

In an instant, a powerful mental attack entered Li Wei's mind.

A wave of emotion surged through my mind.

The Holy Tower of the Rings slowly rotated, suppressing the fluctuations.

That terrifying mental attack vanished without a trace.

"These Mind Flayers are terrifying; their mental attacks are impossible to defend against. Luckily, I have the Ring Tower... Other wizards, even those at the fourth ring, could be affected. Those below the fourth ring have absolutely no chance of survival!"

Li Wei felt fortunate.

He revealed his true form as a giant dragon warrior and his Nine Swords Asura bloodline avatar, his size swelled, and his power exploded once again.

boom!

With nine swords unleashed simultaneously and a crimson dragon roaring, the tortoise shell, formed by the powerful spiritual energy of the Mind-Stealing Demon, finally shattered and disintegrated under the destructive sword energy and Li Wei's repeated strikes.

Suddenly, a sharp shriek rang out.

"A scream of the soul!"

"You call your mom!"

Li Wei slapped the Mind Flayer with his large hand.

Under the terrifying force, the spiritual energy barrier that the Mind Flayer had temporarily erected shattered, and his body was directly slammed towards Tyrant III and the Golden Witch Poison Body.

"Lock him up!"

The Golden Voodoo Body transformed into a golden teardrop-shaped cage, locking the Mind Flayer inside.

"A thorn in the heart!"

The Mind Flayer's attack broke through the Golden Voodoo Body's blockade.

He was directly hit in the face by Tyrant III's chainsaw sword.

Buzz!

The chainsaw sword made a loud noise.

The overjoyed Tyrant III nearly cracked open the Mind Flayer's head.

Li Wei pounced on him.

He gripped the Mind Flayer's body tightly, squeezing it out of shape as if kneading a sponge, causing purple blood to flow out.

"Aaaaaah!"

The mind-stealer screamed, but did not beg for mercy.

"Crimson Pact!"

Li Wei still has a contractual position.

As crimson power surged into the Mind Flayer's body, a ferocious and majestic crimson dragon pattern appeared on the Mind Flayer's forehead, then quietly disappeared.

Li Wei didn't rush to release the Mind Flayer. This guy was the most dangerous enemy he had ever encountered. He was much more troublesome than a body-refining wizard like Balzan. His true strength was probably comparable to a senior fourth-circle wizard who had mastered two fourth-circle talent spells.

Finally, after confirming that he had subdued the Mind Flayer and that there were no tracking marks left in its body.

Li Wei quickly took some medicine and rested for a while under the protection of the Golden Voodoo Body and Tyrant III.

"Mind Flayer, is it?" Li Wei asked.

"Yes, Master." The Mind Flayer's eyes were completely different now than before.

"Why did you want to harm me... Never mind, you're a chaotic and evil demon, it's normal for you to harm me, but why did you choose me?"

"I have my eye on my master's body and wish to use it as my vessel," the Mind Flayer said.

"..."

Li Wei never expected that a powerful physical body could sometimes cause trouble.

He suddenly remembered that he had been inexplicably targeted by that level four demon at the Black Pearl Wizard Market, who seemed to be lusting after his body.

"An unexpected disaster."

Li Wei could only sigh.

"How many demons like you are there in the Endless Sea?" Li Wei asked.

"Not many, but I know quite a few. They were all gathered by the Black Feather Demon King Victor."

"Who is Victor? A demon lord from the abyss?"

"Yes, he was once the lord of the 233rd layer of the abyss, and now he resides in the body of a wizard in the human world."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei pondered in his heart, "Demon Lords, these are all beings at the level of Yuanhun Wizards, so he is not interested in Victor, nor does he want to exorcise demons."

"Do you know any succubi in the Endless Sea?"

"know."

"Where is it?" Li Wei's heart stirred slightly. He hadn't expected that this Mind Flayer would actually know the succubus. Now the succubus's milk was secured.

"In the Seventh District of the Inner Ring, there is a Fifth Ring Wizard named Soret who secretly keeps a Level Four Succubus named Miraa..."

"Is it Soret from the Thunder Dragon family?" Li Wei frowned, his face darkening.

"Yes."

"I understand. Go into the ring first, and I'll find you a suitable body later," Li Wei said.

This Mind Flayer is the most powerful of all the pets and enslaved creatures he has tamed, and one of the few that can help him fight. However, without a physical body to conceal it, Li Wei dares not let the Mind Flayer appear.

After all, keeping a demon is a capital offense!

"I never expected Soret to keep a succubus. That old bastard knows how to enjoy himself... It will take some effort and thought to get the succubus's milk now, since the succubus is Soret's possession and he must be keeping a close eye on her."

Li Wei couldn't think of a good solution for the time being. The only method he could think of was to have the Mind Flayer lure Miraa out, and then Li Wei would take the opportunity to get the milk!

Of course, it would be even better if he could directly subdue Miraa... In the future, as long as he has enough other resources, he can refine more breakthrough potions to sell for money.

After all, a succubus's milk... should be a renewable resource, though this is just Li Wei's guess.

While pondering a solution, Li Wei rode his griffin on his journey.

The Flying Shark was lost in the battle, suffering minor losses.

Li Wei took out the Mind Flayer's storage bag and rummaged through its contents.

"Three hundred thousand Tai Shi, not bad. Two third-ring witch artifacts, I don't know where they were stolen from. Several spellbooks, I'll take them... Wait, aren't these two witch artifacts Green and Tomman's?" Li Wei held the two second-ring witch artifacts, and memories flooded back.

"Gilmore, where did you obtain these two magical artifacts?"

"Master, this is what I obtained after killing two wizards, one named Grimm and the other Tomman..."

"...So those two didn't die in battle, you're the one who killed them."

Li Wei remained calm as he suddenly remembered Huffman.

I wonder if that old man is dead or not. If he's not, with his shrewdness and his status as a third-ring wizard and apothecary, he should be doing quite well, and he might even have broken through to the fourth ring.

"Once Gilmore is no longer useful, kill him. That would be revenge for Green and Tomman."

Alas, it seems few wizards on their journey die of old age... especially in these times of war.

Therefore, it is fortunate that Andrew was able to die peacefully in his old age.

Seven days later.

Based on the coordinates provided by Newt the wizard, Levi finally located the sea area where Starfire Island was situated.

He took out the invitation and easily boarded the island.

He looked up at the wizards flying overhead.

"This grand ceremony is quite lively, after all, it's been a while since a primordial spirit was born in the Endless Sea... Just wait, one day in the future, I will also be famous throughout the Endless Sea." Li Wei encouraged himself.

If the war ends, he will hold a Yuanhun Ceremony.

After keeping a low profile for hundreds of years, it's time to finally advance to the Yuanhun level and show off a bit.

The Yuanhun Wizard is renowned throughout the Endless Sea; as long as one doesn't court death, virtually no one will provoke him.

In most organizations, this would be considered a founding figure.

Even though the Endless Sea Black and White Wizard War has been going on for eighty years, with countless low-level wizards killed or wounded, there are only seven recorded deaths of Yuanhun wizards.

"Li Wei! You've arrived!" an excited voice rang out.

Xavier flew over, landed in front of Levi, and hugged him.

"Haha, not bad, you've become a professor at the Weaponry Academy." Li Wei laughed, looking at the badge on Old Sha's chest.

"I'm just benefiting from your success," Old Sha said.

After chatting for a while, Li Wei learned that the reason why Starfire Wizarding Academy sought out Old Sha to be a professor in the weapon-making academy was actually because of Li Wei's unintentional recommendation.

"Come on, you've come at the right time. The ceremony is about to begin. I'll take you there," Xavier said.

Li Wei was led by him to the ceremony venue.

Xinghuo Square!

The place where teachers and students of Starfire Wizarding Academy hold activities.

In the center of Xinghuo Square is a torch-shaped sculpture.

On a high platform to one side, the wizard Garcia sat there with a smile, welcoming guests from all directions.

Li Wei noticed that there was a slightly overweight wizard next to Garcia, and when he saw Garcia, the wizard also noticed Li Wei.

"Jacob?" Levi was slightly startled. Wasn't this the strange wizard who had sold him the Horcrux fragments? He was actually sitting next to Garcia, chatting and laughing with him. Didn't this mean that he was also a Soul Wizard?

Jacob, who was in the stands, also noticed Li Wei. He and Li Wei made eye contact and smiled slightly.

"That Horcrux fragment, I didn't fake it, did I?" Jacob's voice echoed in Levi's mind.

"A senior like him would naturally not deceive a junior like me." Li Wei felt helpless. He never thought that he would be the one to be tricked by someone pretending to be weak.

"That's enough for me." Jacob snorted lightly, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

Not long after, the Rose Witch, dressed in a beautiful low-cut gown, arrived at the venue arm in arm with Newt the Wizard.

"We meet again," Rose said with a smile, but her expression was weary.

"When will the Flower Witch return?" Levi asked.

Rose smiled wryly: "I don't know. For Master's interdimensional travel, conventional methods of communication have become ineffective."

"Hang in there... everything will be alright," Li Wei comforted her.

Thank you!

As the ceremony began, Li Wei and the other three took their seats.

First, there were some interesting performances to liven things up. After that, Garcia came on stage and gave a speech.

A figure arrived on the high platform.

"Hahaha, congratulations to Lord Garcia on reaching the Yuanhun realm. On behalf of the Seven Waters Tower, I would like to offer our congratulatory gift."

This figure was also a Yuanhun Wizard. According to Qiangwei's introduction, Li Wei seemed to be the master designer of the magic airship of the Seven Water Tower.

The gift he gave was a brand-new model of a magical airship.

"This is the Starfire, a level 5 airship, specially made for the Starfire Wizard Academy."

"Thank you, Your Excellency, and thank you, Seven Waters Tower. Garcia will definitely pay you a visit another day." Garcia solemnly accepted this generous gift.

"To achieve the primordial spirit as a rogue cultivator who is not a child of the elements, you are the only one in the Endless Sea in five thousand years. We have high hopes for you." After saying this, the wizard left.

This is actually an investment, exchanging a small gift, which is insignificant to the Seven Water Tower, for the friendship of a promising Yuanhun Wizard.

With the Seven Waters Tower setting the stage, other major organizations such as Lilith's Hurricane Tower and the Abyss Alliance, as well as other high-level, mid-level, and even low-level wizard organizations, all presented their gifts to Garcia, as long as they wanted to take this opportunity to improve their relationship. Li Wei was itching to see the gifts from those major organizations.

To Levi's surprise, the Letney family, who had some grudges against Garcia, also sent people.

However, they sent a fifth-circle wizard.

The Golden Thrower, Godfrey Letney.

That George Floyd's father.

Garcia stood there smiling as Godfrey opened the treasure box.

Inside was a black pearl oyster.

At this point, the audience fell silent.

Even Li Wei's expression changed slightly.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The other members of the wizarding organizations remained silent, wanting to see how Garcia would handle the situation.

"The prestigious Letney family only gives a black pearl shell worth one hundred taels?" someone from the Starfire Wizarding Academy couldn't help but exclaim.

"What do you mean by this?" Sparrow stepped forward, questioning the fifth-circle wizard despite being a fourth-circle wizard himself.

"This is the Yuanhun Ceremony, and blessings are given according to one's heart. What, Senior Garcia, are you concerned about the value of the gift?" Godfrey said calmly with a smile. "Besides, everyone knows that Senior Garcia is the Black Pearl Boy, who started his career with Black Pearl Shells. Even his Yuanhun Witchcraft Master is... a Black Pearl Shell. My gift of a Black Pearl Shell? Isn't that very meaningful? I think our Letney family is the most thoughtful among all these gifts, without exception."

Although Godfrey's words made sense, it was obvious to everyone that he was deliberately trying to cause trouble and make Garcia, the Elemental Wizard, lose face.

"Indeed, it's a small gift but a big sentiment..."

That makes sense.

Some voices began to echo this sentiment from the audience.

Garcia dismissed Sparrow, who, still smiling, calmly accepted the black pearl and carefully put it away.

"Thank you, Lightney family. I will accept this gift with special significance. I will always remember the Lightney family's unique... kindness."
