Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 367 The Azure King Gives Birth to a Giant Kun, and a Divine Fruit is Obtained in the Dragon Bone Mountains! (Long Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

Time flies like an arrow, and two and a half years have passed since Li Wei went into seclusion.

In two and a half years, Li Wei refined all eight Sky-level rare artifacts.

These eight wondrous items collectively increased the maximum mental strength by 120 points and mental strength by 109 points.

Basically, one out of every two challenges can increase the upper limit or improve mental strength.

In this way, Li Wei's mental strength limit has reached 1510 points, only 110 points away from 1620.

There are still 30 Earth-level rare items and 8 gold leaves remaining. Statistically speaking, unless Li Wei has extremely bad luck, he is bound to achieve perfection.

This relieved him, and he exclaimed that this round was in the bag.

His mental strength level also reached 1260 points in one go.

After three years of seclusion, his mental strength has increased dramatically.

In order to stabilize his realm, Li Wei temporarily ended his seclusion and planned to spend two to three years digesting these gains before continuing to refine them.

During this time, he can concentrate on refining his ultimate soul.

Now that his spiritual power limit has increased, his ultimate soul is only twenty strands, far short of eighty-one.

Of the eight strange items, Li Wei could only name three of them.

They are Earth-type [Crawling Yellow Sand], Water-type [Azure King], and Wind-type [Eye of the Wind God].

As for the other five wondrous items, they are not recorded in the encyclopedia. Their attributes are all concentrated in the traditional elemental category.

Because Li Wei's third and fourth ring talents were already fully developed, he did not gain any innate spells, but his existing corresponding faction spells were optimized. The power of Li Wei's spells in all factions was also enhanced.

The eight celestial-level wonders also granted Li Wei two minor, albeit not significant, special talents.

They are [The Roar of the Wind] and [The Heart of Azure].

Although it was only a sky-level talent, it still improved Li Wei's poor elemental affinity.

Furthermore, what excited Li Wei the most was the [King of Azure], a wondrous object that gave him a brand new water-based companion spirit.

On this day, in order to test the functions of the companion spirit, Li Wei came to the seaside.

The ancient palace floats on the sea like an aircraft carrier.

The sea monster clan lived and multiplied there, thriving and prospering.

Leviathan, now at level three, enjoys a life of leisure with his narwhal wife, taking care of the Behemoth tribe while they spend time together.

Gustav has begun to lie low, preparing for his promotion to Level 4.

In Li Wei's mind, within the Holy Tower of the Ring of Law, after being taught a lesson by Li Wei many times, Ah Biao finally behaved himself and shook hands with Ah Jin to make peace.

The elegant and solitary female swordswoman Frey occasionally emerges from her purple sword, watching Ah Jin and Ah Biao play around, lost in thought.

After Frey gave him a hard shove in the butt, Ah Biao became obedient and dared not yell at her anymore. To Ah Biao, Frey was more terrifying than a tigress.

Aside from Aaron and Nick, who are stationed outside, among the companion spirits in her mind, Frey is the most respected and can be considered the eldest sister.

Ah Biao was originally ranked second, and Ah Jin was ranked third. However, not long ago, Ah Kun arrived…

The fourth layer of the ring.

A giant fish, resembling the legendary Kun, was swimming in the water, emitting whale-like songs that kept Li Wei's mind restless day and night.

This is Akun, a companion spirit born from the [Azure King]. It looks like a whale, except that its fins are exceptionally wide, like wings, as if it could fly in the sky.

Therefore, Li Wei named him "A-Kun", which is abbreviated as "A-Kun".

Ah Kun's entire body was a deep blue-green, like the color of the sky, and on its back were two long white ribbons that billowed in the void.

Ah Kun is gentle and well-mannered. Ah Biao, the little black guy, had provoked him many times before, but Ah Kun ignored him.

Only when Ah Kun could no longer tolerate it did Ah Biao finally snap out of Li Wei's mind with a flick of his tail, and Ah Biao finally became obedient. From then on, he became the third brother.

Li Wei summoned Ah Kun, and a miniature whale the size of a palm appeared.

As soon as Ah Kun saw the sea, it cheered and jumped into it. The endless ocean currents flowed into its body, and Ah Kun's size grew larger and larger until it finally became a giant whale that was three hundred meters long, a real... Kun!

Leviathan, narwhals, and other marine creatures, as if they had seen their king, involuntarily followed around Akun, swimming alongside him.

A giant wave, thousands of meters high, erupted from above Ah Kun's head, like a lighthouse.

The whale's song, carried by two white ribbons that resembled antennas behind it, quickly spread throughout a radius of thousands of miles.

More and more sea creatures gathered, forming a vast and mighty army.

Gazing at the breathtaking scene, Li Wei murmured:

"From what I can see now, Ah Kun possesses the potential to be a king of the ocean, capable of summoning sea beasts from within a thousand miles to fight for him..."

Not only that.

Li Wei sensed that the water element power in any sea area that A-Kun had swum through would be more concentrated and the water quality would be better.

"No wonder these sea creatures all follow him; it turns out there are benefits to it."

In general, Akun can summon sea creatures and improve the marine environment. Of course, Akun can also be used for combat. With its size and weight, a single sea breath or a "Iron Mountain Lean" is enough to overwhelm even a fifth-ring perfect wizard.

However, Li Wei doesn't lack fighting partners now, he only lacks skilled farmers. Ah Kun's appearance has clearly been a great help to him.

The ocean is the true home of creatures like Ah Kun.

Li Wei was in a great mood.

"Ah Long is responsible for cultivating the land, while Ah Kun works in the sea. Perfect."

In addition, with the wind-type spirit creature Abiao, the fire-type spirit creature Nick, and the spirit creatures from the four major schools of earth, fire, wind, and water, Li Wei's collecting obsession was greatly satisfied.

Among the three mutated factions, the metal faction already has Frey, and only the ice and thunder factions are missing their companion spirits.

Li Wei couldn't help but begin to look forward to the remaining Earth-level wonders.

……

Several months passed in the blink of an eye. It was the year 1240 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the First Month. In this year, Li Wei was 250 years old.

Over the past three years, the Ancient Saint Plane has been repeatedly attacked by cave wizards and some alien races.

However, these enemies did not even make it past the first level of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Prison before they perished on the spot.

The series of bloody battles have shown that the defenses of the Ancient Saint Plane are indeed impregnable.

Through these battles, the lizardmen, knights, and fur knights all gained considerable combat experience and made significant progress.

Only through trials of blood and fire can a true warrior be forged. Li Wei was forged through countless trials in the Dark Tower.

The Supreme Dao Hall.

The 140th Round Table Meeting of the Twilight Knights was officially convened, and Li Wei participated in the meeting.

In the square, a majestic eagle with a white head and black feathers descended from the sky, and the Blood Knight on its back jumped down, laughing:

"Captain, are you free lately?"

Li Weidao:

"Well, after this meeting, I'll continue my seclusion."

Since his return, the Knights have undergone a remarkable transformation, changing every year.

The Blood Knight's current strength is already at the mid-stage of level four, and he is not far from the late stage.

Some time ago, he even subdued a level four extraordinary eagle from another dimension in the human world, named the "White-headed Divine Eagle".

This eagle contains a trace of Maya bloodline, making it extremely suitable for Blood Knights to cultivate, and his strength naturally increases accordingly.

Now, this eagle has become his mount, making it extremely convenient for him to go out and run errands.

Mortal knights generally use horses as their mounts.

Extraordinary knights naturally need corresponding mounts to assist in combat and travel, only then can they be called "knights".

Li Wei had already noticed this, and he encouraged everyone to find a suitable mount based on their own breathing techniques.

As for the method of taming, it is also very simple. Those with wizarding skills need no further explanation, and naturally they will have corresponding contractual magical artifacts or spells.

Those without wizarding skills will do the same thing as Li Wei did back then... relying solely on absolute strength to wear down these mounts until they submit.

It took Blood Knight three whole years to completely subdue this white-headed divine eagle.

Upon hearing that Li Wei was going into seclusion again, the Blood Knight couldn't help but sigh:

"The team leader's level of effort is truly admirable. He's talented and hardworking, he's really leaving no room for others, hahaha."

Li Wei thought to himself.

There's no other way; dozens of rare items are waiting for me to refine.

Soon after, the Golden Lion Knight, the Divine Light Knight, the Steel Dragon Knight, and others also arrived.

They gathered at the Supreme Palace, at the twilight round table, waiting for the members of the Central Plains team to log on.

In the end, all eighteen riders arrived, and the Knight of Flowers looked at Li Wei thoughtfully.

She could sense that Li Wei's mental strength seemed to have increased significantly.

"It seems he has successfully refined that severed finger artifact... but is this artifact really that effective?"

Logically speaking, even a Morning Star level rare item shouldn't have such an incredible effect.

She murmured to herself:

"This guy's gains inside the ancient tower are probably more than mine on the seventh floor... I need to hurry up and try to advance to the seventh ring within two hundred years."

A seven-ring wizard who is six hundred years old is rare and quite young in the wizarding world. After all, the lifespan of a seven-ring wizard is around 3000 years.

Six hundred years old is equivalent to the youth of a person's life.

The vast majority of seventh-circle wizards only manage to reach that level in middle age or even old age.

Next, the Blood Knight and the Black Knight reported on the situation at headquarters and the branch, respectively.

Almost ten years have passed since the Dark Tower closed.

Of the resources Li Wei brought with him, he only used about one-tenth.

Unfortunately, the current level of the Knights is generally low, so each person can't absorb much resource. Once everyone's strength increases, the absorption rate will accelerate.

Over the course of ten years, the number of knights of the first rank and above began to surge, jumping from over three hundred to four hundred.

It should be noted that Li Wei only had three hundred children born during his nearly seventy years in the ancient pagoda.

This demonstrates the importance of resources for spiritual practice.

Compared to their own resources, Roman's side was the real bet, and the Twilight Temple could only digest these slowly.

Thanks to the abundance of resources, the work of the Middle-earth team went extremely smoothly.

According to the Black Knights, with their power, they were already a dominant force in the border regions of Middle-earth, secretly controlling a portion of the wizarding organization to recruit aspiring wizards and knights.

Currently, there are more than a dozen third-ring wizards who have been recruited.

These wizards were all rogue cultivators recruited by the Black Knights. Their talents might not be very good, but those who could become mid-level wizards as rogue cultivators all had their own extraordinary abilities.

They are often lucky and have extraordinary perseverance and willpower; what they lack is simply resources.

After undergoing rigorous background checks and a solemn oath-taking ceremony, these rogue monks skilled in the three arts of wizardry were dispatched to the Tower of Dawn. There, the Hermanns, the Holy Infant, and others conducted systematic assessments and training.

Of course, this method should not recruit too many people; only those with absolutely clean backgrounds should be allowed to join. Otherwise, it might recruit spies from other wizarding organizations.

Therefore, Li Wei rejected anyone with experience working for other wizarding organizations; he only wanted genuine, grassroots, independent cultivators.

The main source of talent for the Tower of Dawn is still those mortal wizards with impeccable backgrounds.

These are the people who are easiest to mold and cultivate, and once they are trained, they are more loyal and have a stronger sense of belonging.

The development of the Middle-earth team was not without its setbacks.

But thanks to these older generation knights who have been through thick and thin for hundreds of years, they all overcame these difficulties one by one. The hardships they endured are beyond what outsiders can understand.

Of course, with three level-five puppets now in charge, future development will be much smoother.

During Li Wei's years of seclusion, the Eighteen Riders of Twilight also made progress in their own ways.

The older generation is all at level four, and the middle generation is all at level three—that goes without saying. It's worth mentioning that the Golden Lion Knight successfully advanced to the third-circle wizard level.

Among the new generation, a knight freak also emerged, namely the Fire Dragon Knight.

Along the way, he was far ahead of others, and two years ago he officially advanced to level three and forged the bloodline divine weapon [Fire Dragon Greatsword].

This fire dragon knight was born with a legendary aura. He was a true natural-born superhuman, capable of fighting tigers and leopards even before practicing breathing techniques, and able to hold his own against immature earth dragons. It is said that a fiery phenomenon occurred at his birth, leading his family to regard him as a god. Looking at him now, he was indeed extraordinary.

The other new generation members are still hovering in the late stage of level two, and they are still a bit short of level three.

Li Wei plans to give this exceptional talent some special care to help him grow up faster.

The Fire Dragon Knight's size is far more exaggerated than that of other knights. At the current level three, in his normal form, he is already ten meters tall.

Li Wei now suspects that this kid might have giant blood... otherwise, simply improving his breathing technique wouldn't have resulted in such an exaggerated physique.

He happened to have Mia spend a high price at the Realm of Life to buy him the latest version of the Lorraine Crystal.

After testing it, I found that it was indeed the case.

In addition to the ancestral [Fire Dragon Bloodline], the Fire Dragon Knight also possesses another, even more powerful, legendary bloodline: the [King of Fire Giants Bloodline].

In the ancient times before the rise of wizards, the giant race was once very powerful, even able to rival the dragon race.

But ever since the ancestor of the frost giants rebelled against the gods and fell, he has never recovered.

This applies to all giant races, including fire giants, mountain giants, and sea giants.

The king of giants of each race is generally a level nine or even level ten being.

The Fire Dragon Knight, for some unknown reason, possesses the rare bloodline of the Giant King, and its concentration is not low.

Therefore, even without practicing the Fire Dragon Breathing Technique, he could still fight giant beasts in his childhood.

This reminded Li Wei of the legendary wizard Gulveig, who, according to popular belief, possessed the blood of the ancestor of the frost giants, which was why she was able to achieve legendary status over a thousand years.

The ancestor of the frost giants is the common ancestor of all giants.

This convinced Li Wei that the Fire Dragon Knight was the true chosen one.

Possessing two powerful bloodlines that do not conflict, their future achievements are sure to be remarkable.

Unfortunately, his breathing technique library did not contain the breathing techniques of the Fire Giant race, otherwise the Fire Dragon Knight could have practiced them.

He planned to research some potions that could help unleash the potential of the Fire Giant King's bloodline and give them to the Fire Dragon Knights. In any case, such a powerful bloodline had to be put to use.

The Fire Dragon Knight was deeply grateful for the special treatment given to him by the leader.

The Dawn Wizards Conference also concluded after the roundtable meeting.

Over the years, the Tower of Dawn has grown rapidly, and there are already promising wizards who have become intermediate wizard apprentices, making rapid progress. Systematic courses in the three arts of crafting, medicine making, and magic arrays have also been offered within the tower.

In general, the biggest problem facing the Tower of Dawn is the lack of talent, both teachers and students... This makes Li Wei wish he could bring the Starfire Wizarding Academy over.

But talent cannot be rushed. Adhering to the principle of "better to have none than to have bad ones," we can only proceed gradually.

After years of development, the Council of Elders of the Ancient Dragon Empire has also welcomed its 56th Level 4 Ancient Saint. The number of Level 3 Lizardmen has reached 360.

The Beast Paradise was even busier. Li Wei had brought back far too many extraordinary creatures from the Dark Tower, leaving them utterly overwhelmed.

Melina the witch, the park's manager, also successfully advanced to the fourth ring with Levi's help.

Li Wei instructed Melina to find a way to secretly recruit another batch of qualified psychic wizards from the Psychic Realm, otherwise the Paradise's manpower would indeed be insufficient.

After coordinating the affairs of the four major organizations, Li Wei continued his seclusion, focusing on refining his Ultimate Soul and practicing combat techniques. He took this opportunity to stabilize his mind and adapt to his rapidly growing spiritual power.

On the Holy Infant's side, the path of talisman making is progressing steadily, getting closer and closer to the fifth rank.

However, the thing that Li Wei had been worried about happened: he discovered that the Holy Infant seemed unable to independently condense the Ultimate Soul.

Three years have passed, and a single talisman has yet to materialize.

Given the Holy Infant's talents, this is impossible.

Li Wei analyzed that this was probably because the Holy Infant's avatar was not complete. In essence, the Holy Infant was still a part of Li Wei. Although it possessed a physical body and spiritual power, its core, such as its soul and consciousness, were shared with Li Wei.

The advantage of doing this is that there is no need to worry about the clone turning against its master, but the cost is that the Holy Infant does not seem to be considered a complete and independent life form by the rules of heaven and earth.

If that's the case, then there's something inherently lacking in order to advance to the Yuan Soul level. This made Li Wei fall into deep thought.

"Now it seems that if I want to pursue the primordial spirit, I need to make the Holy Infant truly independent... But if that happens, I'm afraid that over time, the clone will slip out of my control. Am I really going to have to form a Crimson Contract with the Holy Infant? What is that? Am I going to contract myself?"

For a moment, Li Wei couldn't think of a better solution. He planned to study the relevant materials carefully over the next two years before making any further plans.

During this period, let the Holy Infant focus on crafting talismans and managing the Ancient Saint Plane.

Tower of Dawn.

in the secret room.

The Holy Infant sat quietly cross-legged, a crimson armor floating in the flames before him, eventually transforming into a beam of light that entered his mind.

In the blink of an eye, flames surrounded him, and within the firelight, crimson armor appeared. At this moment, the Holy Infant resembled an ancient divine general, radiating powerful majesty.

Over the years, the Holy Infant has completely refined that level-six treasure.

In addition to its powerful defensive capabilities, this treasure can also slightly enhance the user's aura and spirit.

With the Holy Infant Trinity, they also have a certain degree of self-protection against sixth-circle wizards.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

This day.

Li Wei, who had just condensed his 21st Ultimate Soul, exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Through the Holy Infant, Li Wei learned that Mia had already found out about the Divine Fruit.

A month later, in the Dragonbone Mountains region of Hellish Realm, there will be a high-level wizard gathering, which can only be attended by wizards of the fifth ring or above.

At the gathering, news spread that there was a divine fruit.

However, such gatherings inevitably involve sixth-circle wizards, and therefore pose a certain degree of danger.

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei decided to go anyway.

He was determined to obtain the Divine Fruit. He wanted to use this treasure to create a shadow clone.

The creation of shadow clones might offer some inspiration for his stagnant path to creating a Holy Infant clone.

Li Wei examined the strange treasures and magical artifacts within his body, reviewed his methods, and quietly left.

……

The realm of hell.

Dragonbone Mountain Range is one of the four major regions of this area.

In this vast, boundless mountainous region, resembling the skeleton of a giant dragon, numerous wizarding organizations are scattered.

The dominant power in this region is the Dragonbone Holy Tower, a top-tier wizarding organization with nearly twenty publicly known Soul Wizards, more than the Witch's House.

This is one of the four giants of the Death School, and several great wizards have emerged from it over the past ten thousand years. Currently, a great wizard still exists within the tower, but he serves in the Central Realm.

Due to the transcendent status of Grand Wizards and Legendary Wizards, most of the level nine and above powerhouses from various schools of thought reside in the Central Realm year-round to prevent these individuals, who stand at the pinnacle of civilization, from directly interfering with the normal operation of the wizarding civilization.

Besides the Dragonbone Tower, there are dozens of other high-level wizarding organizations of varying sizes in this region.

However, most of them only have one or two sixth-ring wizards.

this day.

On the edge of the Dragonbone Mountains, a plain-looking wizard dressed in a gray robe flew through the sky.

A level 2 undead skeleton had just crawled out of the cave when it was grabbed by a long, thin black hand that descended from the sky, measuring a kilometer in length.

In mid-air, an ancient book emitted light, drawing the spirit into it.

This person was Li Wei. He had just arrived in the Realm of Hell and discovered that many wild undead creatures lived there.

He remembered that his Book of the Dead had a thousand slots, most of which were now empty, so he simply became a Pokémon Master here, capturing innocent dead everywhere.

Along the way, we captured hundreds of low-level undead creatures. There were also quite a few level three and four, but level five and above were extremely rare.

There are still two weeks before the gathering begins, enough time for him to fill the Book of the Dead.

Ten days passed in this way. In the Dragonbone Mountains, Li Wei was busy, tirelessly capturing the undead.

In the end, the Book of the Dead was completely filled, and Livy sent all the spirits within it to the Graveyard of the Dead in the Fairy Realm.

This place can convert elemental power into negative energy, death energy, simulating the living environment of the undead.

Under the Dead Soul Jujube Tree, the swordsman Gerry had already reached the mid-stage of the fifth level, possessing considerable strength. His swordsmanship was superb, and even Li Wei praised him highly.

In addition, both the Scythe Demon and the Wraith Girl have advanced to level five.

The former was assigned by Li Wei to be a gatekeeper in the Eight Heavenly Dragon Prisons, while the latter cultivated in the Immortal Realm.

The vengeful spirit girl possesses the skill [Cursed Doll]. Once cast, anyone below level four can be cursed to death from a distance, while even level five powerhouses will suffer a backlash and physical pain.

Therefore, Li Wei paid more and more attention to her, since curses and precognition are generally areas that only Yuanhun wizards would deal with.

The vengeful spirit girl's abilities might come in handy in the future.

Li Wei frowned slightly.

"Someone's coming."

He flickered in the void and vanished from the spot.

Not long after.

A thin male sorcerer dressed in a pale white robe gazed solemnly at the scene.

"How is this possible? It just vanished so suddenly? Could it be a Yuanhun realm expert?"

He was a rogue cultivator in this region at the fifth ring, and his strength had already reached the perfection of the fifth ring.

"It seems that this Dragon Bone Gathering will inevitably involve a fierce battle."

……

Dragonfall Valley.

Long ago, a true pure-blooded dragon fell here, hence the name.

Beams of light, some reaching the fifth ring or higher, flew into the valley.

At the entrance, two perfectly round auras guard the place.

The Dragonbone Gathering was organized by a renowned elemental spirit wizard from the Dragonbone Mountains, with the aim of exchanging information and resources.

Because of the presence of rare and precious herbs like the Divine Fruit, this year's gathering was much more lively than in previous years.

This kind of market is more like a black market; there's no need to check identities, and everyone uses various methods to hide themselves.

Wearing the Mask of No Form, Li Wei entered as an ordinary grey-robed wizard.

Although it's a black market, basic order is maintained. After all, the organizer is [Fearbone Wizard Kordell], who is quite famous in the Dragonbone Mountains. He is a rogue cultivator with a cultivation level of six ring senior. Many high-level wizard organizations of the Death School have extended invitations to him, but he has refused them all.

In the center of the valley stands a giant dragon skull, hundreds of meters tall, radiating an astonishing aura.

Li Wei was startled.

"The skull alone is a hundred meters long, and its wingspan must be several thousand meters... The owner of this skull was probably no weaker than Lady Xianronglong in life. It's just a pity that too much time has passed, and the bones have decayed and turned into fossils, losing all their extraordinary characteristics. Otherwise, we would have tried to steal it."

At the top of the skull, a kind-looking wizard dressed in white robes smiled as he looked at the bustling crowd:

"Gentlemen, the rules for this Dragon Bone Gathering are the same as always: no fighting is allowed inside the valley, but once outside the valley... life and death are irrelevant."

After he finished speaking, his aura as a senior expert of the sixth ring was released. Within a radius of twenty miles, dense death energy gathered into dark clouds, ghosts howled and wolves howled, and dead souls danced in the air.

This move sent a collective gasp through the crowd.

"Is this what a sixth-ring wizard is like? Terrifying..."

"More than that? This is a senior of the sixth ring. It is said that Senior Fear Bone has lived for 1,300 years and was already at the sixth ring 400 years ago."

Li Wei, hiding among the crowd, compared this man's imposing presence to that of a hundred flowers.

"Although Baihua has just advanced to the sixth-ring senior level, she doesn't seem to be much worse than this person... Perhaps this is the difference between a chosen one and an ordinary genius."

In the crowd, a pale-faced young male wizard chuckled softly:

"With Lord Kodel overseeing this gathering, I, the Blood Demon Wizard, can rest assured."

Upon hearing the name of the Blood Demon Wizard, the other five rings were once again shocked.

Clearly, this man was a powerful figure in the region.

"Alas, this Spirit Fruit is not going to benefit us after all. Even the deputy tower master of the Demon Tower has come."

"It's hopeless, I'm just a runner-up. I'll just buy some things and go home."

Li Wei inquired with a skinny man next door and learned that the Demon Tower was a well-known high-level wizard organization.

The tower master and deputy tower master are both well-established ordinary sixth-ring wizards.

Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared in the sky, and a burly man in black robes emerged from it.

He was burly and bare-chested, covered in mottled black markings. He appeared to be a rare sixth-ring body-refining wizard.

"Yo, Blood Demon, you're here too. I really like that level-six Black Death Ore you gave me before, hehehe."

The crowd stirred.

"The Black-Striped Wizard has arrived..."

"The Divine Fruit is truly a hot commodity, attracting so many multi-soul wizards."

The Blood Demon Wizard sneered.

"How shameless! To make robbery sound so noble. Let's wipe the slate clean after today's gathering, a century-old feud."

The black-striped wizard didn't care at all, sitting casually to the side, waiting for the auction to begin.

The Bone Wizard laughed:

"Does Lord Black Pattern also wish to create an external avatar?"

Black Pattern grinned:

"Even an old-fashioned person like me, who can't keep up with the times in body cultivation, has to find a way to cultivate some magical arts."

It's clear that he's determined to get the Divine Fruit.

Li Wei's heart sank.

"Besides the organizer, the Bone-Treating Wizard, there are already two Yuan Souls..."

However, this is not the end.

Immediately afterwards, another wisp of primordial spirit energy descended.

This person has dark blue skin, a curvaceous figure, wears a white academic uniform, has shapely legs wrapped in black stockings, and wears a single-lensed glasses.

As soon as she appeared, countless evil spirits surrounded her, emitting painful howls that made people feel as if they were falling into hell.

Upon seeing this person, even the Bone Wizard's expression changed.

"Amira, the Banshee of Pain, why are you here in our Dragonbone Mountains instead of the Howling Wilds?"

Li Wei's heart stirred.

This sexy, green-skinned witch is actually the infamous lich, the teacher of that tyrannical lady.

Her strength felt no less than that of the Bone Wizard; even without the sixth-ring seniority, it was about the same.

The Banshee of Pain laughed:

"I was just passing by, it was a coincidence... Don't worry, I'll follow the rules, I'm determined to get the Divine Fruit."

Li Wei sensed something was wrong, and the other five-ring wizards looked even more worried.

Many people came for the Divine Fruit, and now that the Yuan Soul has arrived, it's clear that the ultimate winner will be one of them.

Currently, the Suffering Banshee seems to be the most promising candidate. As a long-lived lich, this old woman has lived for three thousand years, and the methods and knowledge she possesses are far beyond what ordinary sixth-ring cultivators can compare to.

Generally speaking, a lich's true strength is a notch higher than the level it displays.

In other words, the success rate of lich transformation is low, and there are many restrictions. Otherwise, the Wizarding World could be renamed the Lich World.

Finally, just before the auction began, another powerful aura descended.

This person is also a local wizard from the Dragonbone Mountains, with a sixth-ring cultivation level. He is called the "Poison Wizard" and is skilled in highly poisonous spells.

The gathering of four powerful Yuanhun cultivators, who are usually elusive and rarely seen, caused many fifth-ring wizards to retreat in disappointment.

If it weren't for his two trump cards, the Heavenly Crystal Dragon Ant and the Wind Disaster Pearl, Li Wei wouldn't want to stay here either; the pressure is just too great.

The auction has begun.

Li Wei had over 400 million Tai Shi on him. In order to acquire the Divine Fruit, he didn't participate in the bidding for the other items. Even if they were useful to him, he temporarily abandoned them. Before the auction for the Divine Fruit began, he quietly wandered around outside the valley and then silently returned.

Finally, the grand finale made its appearance amidst much anticipation.

The Bone Wizard said:

"This item was entrusted to me by a friend for auction. Both Tai Stones and Soul Stones are eligible for bidding. If you have any Morning Star level rare items suitable for the Death faction, you can contact me directly."

The venue was silent.

Clearly, the Morning Star artifact belongs to the Death faction, and no one possesses it.

Even if they did have some, they most likely wouldn't use them to exchange for the Divine Fruit.

Rare items are true hard currency; the value of the Morning Star Rare Item is no less than, and no less than, that of the Divine Fruit.

The Divine Fruit is only needed by Li Wei and a select few who require the creation of clones.

As for the Soul Stone, Li Wei had previously obtained fragments of it.

In the Yuanhun Wizard community, Soul Stones are also an equivalent. A complete Soul Stone, if directly refined by Yuanhun, can increase mental power by about 5 points, saving a lot of hard training.

One Soul Stone, in today's market, can be exchanged for around 500 million Tai Stones.

However, no Yuanhun Wizard would normally exchange Soul Stones for Tai Stones, as they wouldn't even have enough for cultivation. Only a fool would exchange them for Tai Stones.

The Bone Wizard said:

"Since no one has any rare items, let's just start the auction. The starting price is 50 million Tai Shi, and each bid must be at least one million higher..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the Banshee of Pain cried out:

"1 million Thai Baht".

Upon hearing this, everyone under the Yuan Soul's influence turned to despair.

Even for someone who has achieved the highest level of success, being able to come up with ten million in cash is already quite remarkable.

One hundred million... Most people in the Fifth Ring Road area couldn't save that much even if they didn't eat or drink for a lifetime.

"The world is so diverse."

"Sigh, let's just join in the fun and see what the world of the strong is like."

The Blood Demon Wizard quickly raised the price:

"One hundred and ten million."

Black Pattern:

"One hundred and thirty million!"

The venomous sorcerer called out in a sinister tone:

"One hundred and thirty-three million!"

The Yuanhun Wizards were fighting like gods, raising prices by hundreds of millions at a time, leaving the Fifth Ring Wizards dumbfounded.

Li Wei didn't rush to bid; it seemed that this Divine Fruit wouldn't be available for less than 200 million.

Soon, the price of the Banshee of Pain had reached 2 million.

The Blood Demon Wizard's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty; clearly, his resources were no longer sufficient to compete. He snorted coldly and left the valley.

The black-striped wizard watched the blood demon depart, his eyes narrowed in thought. He called out:

"Two hundred and ten million."

The cunning sorcerer laughed:

"I urgently need this item. If you two are willing to give it to me, I am willing to repay you with two doses of rare and highly toxic level-six potions."

The Banshee of Pain said calmly:

"Two hundred and thirty million."

She has already made her stance clear. As a lich, she has lived a long time and naturally has a substantial fortune. If it weren't for her extravagant spending habits, she would have already asked for 3 million and sealed the deal.

The Black-Patterned Wizard and the Poisonous Wizard exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and left.

The wizards sighed.

"As expected of a lich, as expected of the people from the Soul Tower, their wealth is beyond the reach of ordinary wizards."

Just when everyone thought they had captured the Banshee of Pain, a calm voice came from the corner.

"Two hundred and fifty million."

This statement came out.

Everyone looked toward the corner.

There, an unassuming gray-robed wizard sat.

"Who is this person? How can he produce so many Tai Stones? Judging from his appearance, he's only at the fifth level of perfection."

"Exactly, daring to compete with the liches? Are they crazy?"

This person was naturally Li Wei, and he finally made his move.

The Bone Wizard looked at Li Wei and said:

"You should know the consequences of overcharging in the wizarding world, shouldn't you?"

Li Weidao:

"Of course I know."

The Bone Wizard smiled and nodded, then said:

"Commendable courage. Which top-tier wizarding organization do you belong to?"

Li Wei shook his head and said:

"Just an unknown nobody, not worth mentioning."

The Banshee of Pain looked at Li Wei with amusement and exclaimed:

"Two hundred and eighty million taishi."

Her bottom line is 300 million; anything more than that would be a bit overpriced. Anyway, she has a long lifespan and can continue to wait.

She does have a lot of money, but it's all earmarked for research, and she can't waste it all on the Spirit Fruit.

Li Wei pondered for a moment and said:

"Three hundred million Tai Shi, plus a Great Earth-grade Death Artifact... Senior Fear Bone, I guess your friend probably also needs a Death Artifact, right?"

Of the thirty Earth-level artifacts he had not yet refined, one was suitable for the Death faction.

Since my mental strength is now at its peak, I might as well use it as leverage to get rid of the Banshee of Pain sooner.

Although the artifact of death is of little significance to the primordial spirit, it may still enhance spiritual power, and with good luck, it might even give birth to a companion spirit. If the owner of the Spirit-Borrowing Fruit wanted to take a gamble, he would definitely choose his own terms.

Upon hearing Li Wei's conditions, the Banshee of Pain clapped her hands and laughed:

"Good junior, I will not argue with you today."

After she finished speaking, surrounded by endless spirits, she left the valley.

The auction was completely silent.

"My God? Three hundred million Tai Shi, and a deadly artifact? Who is this person? The illegitimate son of some powerful figure?"

"This is terrifying. Even a Yuanhun Wizard can't compare to him. He's definitely not a rogue cultivator; he must be a core disciple of a top-tier family."

At this moment, countless people were speculating about Li Wei's identity; his behavior was truly astonishing.

Even the most experienced bone-fearing wizards in the sixth ring were shocked.

"Three hundred million Tai Shi, even I can't come up with that much cash... This Dragon Bone Gathering has really opened my eyes as a Yuan Soul."

finally.

Li Wei successfully obtained the Divine Fruit, a seemingly ordinary black fruit that resembled a ginseng fruit.

The Bone Wizard said meaningfully:

"You'd better be careful from now on... some people haven't left yet."

Li Wei laughed:

"Thank you for the reminder, senior."

The kind reminder from the bone-fearing sorcerer left Li Wei with a good impression of him.

The power of the void within him flickered, and he appeared directly outside the valley.

In an instant.

A bloody, demonic claw, enveloped in boundless death energy, sealed off the void and lunged at Li Wei.

"Just as I expected, these guys want something for nothing."

Li Wei was already prepared, and the Wind Disaster Pearl within his body shone brightly.

In an instant, endless wind and calamity surged forth, enveloping him.

Wind and Mist Armor!

Enough to withstand a single blow from a seasoned sixth-circle wizard!

The blood demon wizard's ghostly claws failed to tear through Li Wei's armor.

Instead, an endless storm blew towards him, its terrifying force sending him flying hundreds of miles away. The force field around his body shattered, and the Blood Demon Wizard was still shaken.

"A level six rare treasure... and a top-quality one at that. Very good, I'm even more interested in you now."

His figure flickered, and he chased after them again.

Meanwhile, the Black-Veined and Poisonous Wizards, who were waiting in other directions, also sensed the commotion and followed the Blood Demon Wizard.

The void seal was torn apart by the windstorm, and Li Wei calmly and slowly arrived at a depth of a thousand feet underground via fixed-point teleportation.

A proud celestial horse, its head raised and plunged into the rock face, had been waiting for a long time.

He had already set up the Pegasus Star Soul during a break in the auction.

Li Wei sat on the silver chariot.

"Let's head back home."

With a neigh, the Heavenly Horse Star Soul vanished into the void.

Not long after, the Blood Demon Wizard appeared, looking somewhat exasperated.

"Damn it, I actually got dumped by a junior?!"

He darted off in one direction, but ultimately failed to find any trace of Li Wei.

Not long after, the Poisonous Wizard and the Black-Striped Wizard also appeared here.

Black Pattern sneered:

"Bloodstained Pattern, hand over the Spirit Fruit, and you are no match for me!"

The Blood Demon Wizard said:

"Believe it or not, I didn't get it... That kid has a rare level six treasure, and he also has an extremely powerful method of traversing the void."

The venomous sorcerer said with a hint of doubt:

"I saw you fighting him from afar. As a Yuanhun (Primal Soul), you couldn't defeat a Fifth Ring Wizard?"

The Blood Demon was in a bad mood and didn't bother to explain anything, so he left directly.

He left behind black marks and a sinister poison, his face looking grim.

Undeterred, the two began searching the area surrounding the valley. Ultimately, they found nothing and left disappointed.

In the valley.

The Bone Wizard gazed into the distance.

High in the sky, the boundless clouds were swept away by the fierce winds, and on the ground, there were ravines dug out by the gale.

"A group of six rings, and not a single five rings caught. It's truly a strange and unusual story, hahaha, very interesting."

Three thousand miles away.

Li Wei emerged from the void, his brows slightly furrowed, his sense of danger still warning him.

Without hesitation, the Crimson Temple appeared, trembling the void, and then vanished once more.

Two thousand miles later, Li Wei used various void-traveling treasures to teleport another three thousand miles.

Eight thousand miles away from the valley, this sense of danger finally vanished without a trace.

"The one who almost caught up with me just now must have been that Banshee of Pain. The lich's methods are indeed unpredictable."

He summoned Ah Biao, and the white tiger roared proudly, carrying Li Wei as it rushed into the windstorm layer and quickly left.

Six thousand miles behind Li Wei, the Sorrowful Demon stood frozen in place with a strange expression, questioning the meaning of life.

"I've wasted these three thousand years of my life... Oh well, I should go back and continue researching the Nightmare World. As for the Divine Fruit, I'll just have to wait patiently."
