Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 271 Fifteenth Tier! The Rise of the Knight! (Long Chapter, Requesting Double Monthly Tickets)

The preparation of potions for a knight's advancement, whether they are advancement potions or evolution potions, differs from the potion-making techniques used by wizards.

A wizard's potions need to be made with a crucible, incantations, and specific rituals and procedures. The most crucial element in this process is spiritual power.

The knight's potion, however, requires the "blood refining method".

What is blood refinement?

Simply put, it involves placing all the advancement materials directly into the knight's body; as for the method of placement...

It varies depending on the materials used.

Some are taken orally, such as certain herbs.

Some are administered via injection, such as blood essence.

Some are even more ruthless, directly forcibly stuffing them into flesh and blood, relying on blood energy to refine them within the body, such as "bloodline crystals".

If Li Wei wanted to refine this thing, he would most likely have to cut a hole in his body, stuff the crystal inside, and then sew it up. Of course, given his body's self-healing ability, he wouldn't need to sew it up manually.

All the materials, using various methods, were placed into the "furnace" of the knight's body.

Then, using blood as fuel and blood energy as flame, all materials are absorbed by the body.

The process varies in length and is related to the knight's physique, talent, the materials themselves, and other factors.

It could take anywhere from a few months to three to five years or even longer.

Ultimately, all the factors in the materials that promote a knight's advancement will be integrated into the Bloodline Seed, leading to its transformation.

Thus, the knight's promotion was completed.

"A knight must be ruthless to himself!" Levi thought firmly.

He grabbed a handful of herbs and put them directly into his mouth.

Herbs taste very different; some are delicious, but many others have an unpleasant odor.

"Why is there even a herbal concoction with pickled bamboo shoots in the snail rice noodles...?"

Li Wei internally complained.

Immediately afterwards, he inserted the blood essence of the [Drilling Dragon Earthworm] and [Azure Armored Fish Dragon], which he had prepared, into his heart.

His veins bulged; this primitive, non-swallowing method of blood injection was extremely painful.

If a wizard were to do this, without the corresponding bloodline transplant protection or protective potion, he would most likely die.

"Injecting it into the arm is also an option, but injecting it directly into the heart area will allow for faster refining and better results!"

Relying on his powerful physique, these two essences of bloodline were enveloped by blood energy in front of the [Golden Serpent Seed] in Li Wei's heart.

As for the dragon scales, they were also "inserted" into Li Wei's body in the same way.

"Ultimately, all the extraordinary factors will be concentrated in the Golden Serpent Seed."

After embedding these promotion materials into his body, Li Wei did not feel any discomfort.

"However, it is not advisable to use knightly techniques during this period, especially the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique, otherwise it will affect the absorption of materials, and in severe cases, it may lead to qi deviation... This point is very important and can be passed on to the Twilight Temple as a precaution for knight promotion."

Inside Li Wei's body.

All sorts of materials are gathered here.

Some flow in the blood, some wait to be consumed and absorbed in the stomach, and some float near the heart.

The golden serpent, with wings on its back, both real and illusory, coiled and opened its mouth.

The candle in its mouth emitted a golden light, and it absorbed the wisps of extraordinary power refined from the blood energy.

While Li Wei closed his eyes and waited for the refining process to finish.

The golden snake has begun its work.

……

Three months later.

world.

Tuva Empire.

A sacred mountain, perpetually shrouded in storms, stands in the sea.

Along the mountain paths surrounding the sacred mountain, many mortals, their faces filled with fervor, worshipped and made their way along what they considered the pilgrimage route.

The direction they worshipped was naturally the temple atop Storm Mountain, and the towering statue of the Storm Emperor, carved from a single massive rock, standing ten feet tall in front of it.

On the pilgrimage route, some people are struck by lightning and vanish into thin air.

Before his death, he shouted fervently, "I am finally going to ascend to the Kingdom of God! Hahahaha!"

According to the doctrines of the Storm Church, fanatics may be favored by the divine lightning struck by the "Storm Emperor," shedding their physical bodies and having their souls enter the Kingdom of God.

Suddenly, some mortals, while climbing the mountain, discovered that on the distant horizon, a giant firebird with a wingspan of tens of feet was soaring high, leaving behind countless fiery trails that turned the sky red.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that atop the firebird was a bald wizard with an ugly, faceless appearance, which looked quite eerie.

This bald wizard is none other than the master of a level-five dungeon in the Forsaken Lands, the Lord of Blacklight.

A genuine Five Rings Wizard, whose lineage originates from ancient times.

As for the firebird, it was a level-five fire elemental spirit that followed Li Wei to the human world.

Because of his self-destruction, he fell from his cultivation level and became a level four fire elementalist.

"Little bird, is this the place? Was it the people here who injured you?" The Lord of Black Light stroked the head of the bird beneath his crotch.

Anvada's inner monologue: "It's Anvada, the Flame Avenger!"

But on the surface, it nods obediently, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Heh heh, then let's settle all our old and new scores today! These people from the Church of Storms injured my wizard in the Blacklight Crypt and stole the key to the Dark Tower that was in my territory. They've gone too far!"

The Lord of Blacklight had a cold expression. He had come all this way to the Church of Storms today... just to cause trouble!

With his cultivation level as a fifth-circle wizard, wouldn't he be considered a top-tier fighter in the early stages of this demonic tide's resurgence?

How could these mere church saints be his match?

"Awooo!" Anwada let out a long howl, feeling smug.

It was once bullied by some damned guys.

Now that it has found a powerful backer, it's going to get all the revenge it has!

First, find those charlatans from the Storm Church, then go find the Rose Witch.

Finally, it will personally use its vengeful flames to turn the little bug that has repeatedly provoked it into ashes!

"It's the Fire Demon! This demon once appeared in the Tuva Empire and burned many people to death! Now, it's back! Fortunately, the messenger of the Storm God is protecting us!"

As soon as the fanatical believer finished speaking with an excited expression, he was turned to ashes by a rain of fire that fell from the sky.

"Foolish mortals, mere sheep and cattle of the gods... How noisy!"

After the Lord of Blacklight finished speaking, he looked towards the temple.

"Hmm, this statue seems to be made from a single piece of meteorite iron from outer space. I can feel a strong wind and thunder elemental power within it... Could it be that it contains a rare wind and thunder elemental metal?"

"Very well, this idol is mine now! Take it back and have the Bloodfly Wizard forge me a five-ringed magical artifact."

The Lord of Blacklight swung his claw in the void, and a gigantic wizard's hand materialized, the black hand reaching out to grab the statue!

"stop!"

A stern and authoritative voice rang out.

With a deafening roar, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly collapsed and then all converged into the center.

There, a tall, imposing man in purple robes, exuding the aura of an emperor, stood suspended in mid-air!

Behind him were twelve purple thunder drums rotating clockwise, crackling with lightning; they must have been powerful sealing artifacts.

In his hand was a silver-white spear wreathed in hurricane-like energy.

These are the two most powerful sealed relics of the Church of Storms.

[Twelve Thunder Drums] and [Storm Spear]!

"So you are the Saint Grado of the Church of Storms?" the Lord of Blacklight sneered.

"Retreat, you are no match for me." Grado's left eye flashed with lightning, while his right eye swirled with a storm.

Faced with his imposing presence, Anwada somewhat regretted coming to cause trouble.

It's only been a few decades, and that damned charlatan has gotten even stronger!

"Heh, I'm not as spineless as those council wizards... mere saints are nothing but lackeys of the gods," said the Lord of Blacklight.

During the time after the shattering of the mortal barrier, he gained a fairly good understanding of the situation in the human world.

He utterly disdains the Wizard Council established by Sauron and the reconciliation with the gods!

Seeing that the visitor was hostile, Gulado immediately stopped talking nonsense.

Without hesitation, he unleashed a thunderous strike. The Twelve Thunder Drums behind him exploded, and with each beat, terrifying lightning began to fall from the sky, streaks spreading across the heavens like a spider web!

At the same time, he threw the Storm Spear in his hand!

This Storm Spear, once thrown, will not stop until it hits the enemy; it is an absolute weapon of mass destruction!

A bright silver light flashed, swift as lightning, fast as a shooting star.

With the blessing of the thunder drum, the spear was wrapped in the power of wind and thunder that could destroy everything!

"A mere trick, behold the power of my magic!"

Fifth Ring Spell: Shadow Blade Stream!

Countless shadowy blades condensed from the black robes of the Lord of Blacklight burst forth and then roared away.

Each of those shadow blades was enough to make third- and fourth-ring wizards tremble with fear!

The next moment, lightning crackled around Storm Spear, and the shadow blades quickly dissolved.

The silver spear continued its relentless advance, heading straight for the Lord of Black Light.

The Lord of Black Light's expression changed, and he retreated frantically as a force field surrounded his figure.

"Damn it, are the current saints too strong? Or am I, a fifth-ring wizard, too weak?"

His body blended into the shadows, and he quickly fled into the distance, grabbing the bewildered Anvada before he left.

Anwada was completely bewildered and extremely unwilling!

The revenge never even began, and it was already over!

Watching the retreating enemy, Groudon transformed back into a thundercloud, shrouding the Storm God Mountain.

"The power of the ancient wizards is truly incomparable to that of today's..."

He muttered to himself.

Just recently, another fifth-ring wizard came to him and fought with him. Although he won in the end, it was only by relying on the power of the sealed holy artifact that he narrowly won.

That wizard possessed unparalleled mastery of thunder magic, comparable to the Storm Emperor himself.

"This mortal realm is becoming increasingly unsettling. Anyone dares to challenge the Church's authority. I must break through to level six as soon as possible and become a [Thunder God Servant]. Otherwise, I fear this place of faith belonging to the Emperor will be difficult to preserve!"

Hundreds of miles away, the Lord of Black Light, who had fled, had a gloomy expression.

"Damn it, how can this mortal saint be so powerful? The power of that sealed sacred artifact is probably comparable to a five-ringed witch artifact, or even stronger!"

If it were just Groudon who was that strong, he could accept it.

If the other six saints were this powerful, then he'd be out of a job.

"Let's not provoke the church for now. A wizard's revenge... it's never too late!"

"After resting for a while, I'll go to another place. That place is guarded by someone capable of killing my fourth-ring subordinates; their strength shouldn't be too weak. This time, I need to be prepared."

……

Twilight Temple.

Blood God Temple.

At this moment, the Blood Knight resembled a soaring roc, practicing the ancestral "Maiya Breathing Method".

This day.

After completing his practice, he suddenly felt a sense of blockage and constraint.

"The Bloodthirsty Knight has reached his peak. To advance further, his bloodline seed needs to undergo a further transformation. Next, we need to start preparing the [Maia Advancement Potion]."

He opened a recipe, the latest knowledge he had obtained in the temple using his official membership privileges.

[Maia's Advanced Potion]

[Main Materials: 100g of Tier 3 Bloodline Essence (1. Requires a transcendent creature with wind affinity. 2. Requires containing Maiar bloodline factors), 7 feathers of a Tier 3 transcendent creature. Creatures containing the above materials: Rending Wind Azure Winged Eagle, Feathered King Vulture, Dodo Sparrow...]

[Supporting materials: Netherwind Grass, Mist Ghost Flower...]

[How to take the potion and precautions...]

"This is the commander! His knowledge and breadth of expertise far exceed my expectations."

"This kind of knowledge is priceless to a knight."

This is equivalent to clearly telling him the next promotion path, and he just needs to follow the steps.

The price he paid for this knowledge was the bloodline runes he had painstakingly researched and translated during this period.

To encourage everyone to delve into the path of bloodline runes and talent imprints, the guild leader established a reward system.

For each bloodline rune translated and approved, you will receive 1 point. Points can be exchanged for materials and resources within the Twilight Temple.

This led these knights, like the wizards, to become engrossed in scientific research.

"When I was traveling through the Seven Kingdoms, I heard about a blue wind bird in the Star Empire. Judging from the description, it is very likely to be an extraordinary bird of prey."

Maya is the god of all eagles across multiple dimensions, the king of the sky and the wind.

A large portion of the birds of prey in this world are likely descendants of the Maiar, each containing a small amount of Maiar blood.

However, with my strength, I might not be a match for that blue wind bird... I'll have to call on the Black Knight and the Divine Light Knight to team up with me to hunt it down.

I will lend them a hand when they are promoted in the future.

The Cavaliers are now in decline, so we should all help each other.

The Blood Knight immediately began preparations.

Three days later.

The Blood Knight led his team and set off towards the mainland.

If the Blood Knight can successfully advance to the third level of Blood Source Knight, then other knights can follow his example, and the overall strength of the Twilight Knights will be further enhanced.

At that time, the third-level knights will become the backbone of the force.

Only those with strength at level three or above are qualified to have a foothold in the ever-increasing resurgence of the demonic tide.

……

Ancient Sage Plane.

Imperial Palace.

Li Wei kept to himself, quietly absorbing the magic potion needed for his knight advancement.

at the same time.

It is located in a mountain range surrounding the Imperial Palace.

On a sheer cliff, a blue pterosaur lies quietly.

It was surrounded by endless wind and thunder, with lightning crackling, turning this mountain range into a forbidden zone!

This is Raja.

Because Li Wei will not leave this world for a very long time.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the growth of these extraordinary creatures, he released them into the mountains and forests within a radius of tens of thousands of miles around the Imperial Palace.

He ordered his men to surround the area and establish his own "Mountain and Sea Garden," which was also known by his subordinates as the "Emperor's Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts."

Li Wei's goal is to collect more and more extraordinary creatures.

To recreate the scene from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, where rare birds and exotic animals roamed freely.

Make the ancient sage plane his own "dojo".

Similar to the cultivation sects in novels from my previous life.

These extraordinary creatures are the "celestial birds and auspicious beasts" used to adorn this place.

This was just one of his silly, quirky hobbies.

Now, after being warned by Li Wei multiple times.

Raja, a veteran employee, worked hard and completely unleashed his potential. His bloodline was already extremely superior, otherwise Newt wouldn't have gone to such lengths to visit him on the Loess Plateau.

Now, Raja remains motionless; it is about to begin its advancement.

The endless power of wind and thunder tempered Raja's physical body, and elemental power also swirled around it, constantly pouring in.

"The Emperor's pet looks like it's about to break through to a higher level. Quickly send people to protect it, lest it be disturbed by other ferocious beasts!"

These lizardmen are incredibly devoted to the emperor.

Before long, several powerful beings at the Ancient Serpent level personally guarded the area within a hundred miles, waiting for Raja to successfully advance!

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye.

Another six months have passed.

The year 1134 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Frosty Winter.

In the northern part of the world, winter has arrived.

Of course, in those places ravaged by blue frost, winter never truly left.

On this day, amidst a blizzard, a large bird with a wingspan of a hundred meters, radiating blue icy flames, descended from the sky. She gazed at a valley where the concentration of frost elemental power was no less than that of the Endless Outer Ring region.

"This place seems to be a node where the demonic tide is reviving. The elemental power is quite good, just right for my cultivation. That damned Ice Wizard, that old bastard made me run around for years, from the Frozen Realm to the Endless Sea, constantly on the go. And that brat, he took my wine glass and ran off somewhere. Is he still in the Frozen Realm?"

The large bird transformed into a beautiful, blue-robed witch with an ugly expression.

It was none other than the Ice Phoenix, Feline.

She ran all the way from the Endless Sea to the human world to escape her enemies' pursuit.

For her, the safest place is the human world, where there are no strong people.

"The elemental power here is decent enough for me to recuperate and regroup. With my strength as a fifth-ring wizard, I doubt that the saint of the Ice and Snow Church would dare to cause trouble."

Hahaha, I, the Ice Phoenix, have survived a great calamity; good fortune is sure to follow!

Taking advantage of this resurgence of the demonic tide, I intend to advance to the Yuanhun level within the next three hundred years!

at the same time.

Ancient Sage Plane.

Li Wei, who was cultivating in the imperial palace, suddenly opened his eyes.

His expression was puzzled, and he pondered for a moment before saying:

"What's going on? Why do I have this feeling that some troublemaker is trying to harm me? Could it be Soret? Because I stole his woman and he's still holding a grudge... That can't be right, he's being hunted down across the country right now and he's too busy to worry about me."

Apart from Soret, I don't think I've offended anyone, have I?

After all, I killed all the people I offended...

"Whatever, I'm sure I haven't offended any elemental spirit wizards. As long as they're not elemental spirit wizards, with my current strength, escaping shouldn't be a problem."

Pulling his mind back to the present, Li Wei looked inward at his own body.

All the previous promotion materials have been refined and absorbed by the blood energy.

Then, the extraordinary properties of these extraordinary materials all converged around the Golden Serpent Seed.

"I'll be promoted soon."

The next few days.

He began to carefully observe the changes in the golden snake seed.

The golden snake first swallowed the essence of the bloodline, and its body began to grow thicker and longer.

The illusory golden serpent seed is beginning to take on a more solid texture.

"Could it be that the Golden Serpent Seed will eventually materialize completely?" Li Wei pondered to himself.

Then, the golden serpent swallowed the characteristics of the level-three hybrid dragon soul crystal, and slowly, a layer of golden mist began to surround it.

Next, the golden snake absorbed the properties of those level-four dragon scales. At this moment, Li Wei felt that the ring of scales on the golden snake's body was even more realistic.

At the same time, he felt that the defensive capabilities of the golden snake scales on his body had been enhanced.

Ultimately, all the other extraordinary material properties were swallowed by the golden snake.

Gradually, Li Wei began to understand.

"My evolution is actually the evolution of the Golden Serpent Seed; they are one..."

Three days later.

Laughter echoed from deep within the Imperial Palace.

Inside Li Xiuxing's secret chamber, endless golden blood energy surged and coiled around him, then transformed into a shimmering, illusory golden snake.

This golden snake is exactly the same as the golden snake seed inside Li Wei's body.

It seemed to come alive, hovering around Li Wei.

Golden eyes radiated endless majesty, and a powerful, long serpentine body coiled around Li Wei; its golden wings spread out, reaching over ten zhang in length; a spiral horn grew on its forehead, which resembled both a snake and a dragon, exuding an aura of destruction; the candle in its mouth emitted a warm, holy light, illuminating all directions!

The golden snake coiled up and almost filled Li Wei's small secret room. If it were fully opened, it would probably be dozens of feet long.

When Li Wei arrived at the training ground, the golden snake constantly coiled around him, winding upwards.

"Miraia, Gilmore, come at me!"

Li Wei said calmly.

A succubus with an explosive figure, whose presence is enough to make anyone's blood boil, arrives with devilish steps.

"Master... what kind of enormous thing is this?" Miraa exclaimed, covering her mouth.

Even the Mind Flayer, resembling a poisonous fire corpse demon, looked shocked.

The imposing, golden-armored knight, surrounded by a cold and imposing golden serpent, both man and snake, their golden eyes fixed on him.

"A snake, a huge snake!" Argenta exclaimed from afar.

On the other side, Li Wei had already sent Tyrant III and Mind Flayers to attack him.

He stood still, without using a protective force field or defensive spells.

next moment.

The level four Poison Fire Corpse Demon unleashed its terrifying poisonous flames towards Li Wei.

Flames swept across, burning everything in their path!

Li Wei's expression remained unchanged.

As the flames approached his body, the golden snake phantoms coiling around him began to spin rapidly.

Crackling and popping!

All the poisonous fire was deflected, flames scattered everywhere, and the earth cracked open under the scorching heat.

After the black smoke cleared.

Li Wei stood there unharmed.

The golden snake's phantom faded slightly, but it did not disappear.

Then, all the other attacks came.

Physical attacks and magical attacks are both available.

Li Wei remained standing in the same spot throughout.

The golden snake, like a loyal guardian, blocked all the attacks!

"Is this the third evolution of Bloodborne?"

Li Wei gently touched the golden snake's brow with his finger, and the much fainter golden snake phantom quickly slithered away from his body, soaring into the sky and disappearing.

"This level of defense is no less than my second talent, Earth Dragon Barrier. It can withstand the vast majority of fourth-ring spells."

And this is the change brought about by the third transformation of Bloodborne.

Li Wei ordered the exhausted succubi and their men to leave.

He stood alone on the training field, feeling a profound loneliness.

"The Way of the Knight is not weak... On the contrary, the Way of the Knight is very strong, but it is a late-game profession that requires a lot of accumulation before it can be fully utilized."

The knight's blood energy is too weak in the early stages. Even I, before reaching the third transformation of Blood Origin, could only use blood energy to do some simple things.

However, after the three transformations of the blood source, the blood and qi become abundant, and a qualitative change begins.

At this moment, inside Li Wei's body.

In his heart area.

Suddenly, an illusory golden palace appeared.

The main hall was ornately decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, resplendent in gold and green, just like a temple.

Inside the main hall.

A majestic golden serpent with two wings coiled around a white jade pillar.

In the very center of the main hall, there is a golden plaque.

The plaque has glittering gold lettering.

"Golden Serpent Shrine!"

The Golden Serpent Palace is a new variation of Li Wei's Golden Serpent Breathing Technique after the fifteenth level.

After advancing, a dreamlike golden palace suddenly appeared where the Golden Serpent Seed had been.

After that, the golden serpent seed moved into the palace.

This reminded Li Wei of the "Dharma Ring Tower" in his mind's spiritual power.

"The wizard nurtures the [Holy Tower] in his mind, which serves as the wizard's spiritual refuge and a place of cultivation, similar to the Purple Mansion, the abode of immortals in their previous lives."

"And the knight, on the other hand, opens up a 'divine palace' within his own body. This divine palace is similar to the knight's 'castle,' a place of inner training for the knight!"

"As the ancients said, the human body has 36,000 spirits, and each of the acupoints in the body is inhabited by a deity. The ancients were right."

Livy used chivalry to prove that there is indeed a hidden world within the physical body, inhabited by a "god".

This god is not a "true god" like the astral gods.

Rather, it is the embodiment of Livy's bloodline and will.

Specifically regarding the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique, this deity is the "Golden Serpent," which is also Li Wei himself!

"Using the seed of bloodline as a guide and the vast blood energy as a foundation, I summon that golden phantom to protect myself."

That move just now was, in a way, similar to invoking a god or a deity, but this deity doesn't rely on others; it's entirely up to oneself!

This new knightly skill, resulting from the third transformation of bloodline, can be called: [Bloodline Avatar]!

The bloodline Dharma form is similar to the bloodline Dharma body, but it is different from the Dharma body.

The Dharmakaya can only be born by combining spiritual cultivation with spiritual power, and its appearance is determined by the mind's perception, so it is random.

Aside from players like Levi who have cheat codes, this is a path that is destined to be impossible for most knights.

The bloodline avatar, on the other hand, can be created entirely through knightly methods, and its appearance is the same as that of the bloodline seed!

The function of the Dharma Form, as far as Li Wei has developed so far, is an automatic protective function similar to the wizard's "defense field"!

"Therefore, in terms of survival, after the Bloodline Transformation III, a knight... is no weaker than a wizard!"
