Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 368 The Body Refinement Clone Finally Stands Alone, the Eight-Armed Demon God Breaks Through Like a Hot Iron! (Long Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The year was 1241 in the Holy Radiance Calendar.

The Moon over Green Grass.

Two months have passed since the Dragonbone Gathering.

Imperial Palace.

Li Wei's figure appeared.

To ensure that no one was following him, he first returned from the realm of hell to the endless sea.

After drifting aimlessly in the Endless Sea for two months, and taking a side trip to the Knight of Flowers' home, they finally returned to the human world.

He made a note of the Blood Demon Wizard and the others in his little notebook. Once he reached level six, he would naturally settle this score.

However, his expression turned serious when he thought of that tormented banshee.

"Also a sixth-ring wizard, this lich's strength is indeed more terrifying... That's the advantage of living a long time. Although becoming a lich means losing the possibility of advancing further and having no chance of reincarnation, over time, a lich can acquire more knowledge, spells, skills, and magical artifacts, so their strength is naturally not bad."

Furthermore, the Wind Disaster Pearl is indeed a very useful treasure, equivalent to a very basic banana leaf fan. It can blow enemies hundreds of miles away in an instant, and its control and attack effects are both quite good. Its defensive capabilities are also excellent. The only drawback is that its charging time is too long.

He returned to the Ancient Banyan Wonderland and arrived at the Wind Disaster Layer. The white bead flew into it and began to slowly absorb the power of the wind disaster to recharge.

"I won't go out and have fun until the Wind Disaster Pearl is fully charged."

In this battle, Li Wei did not use the Heavenly Crystal Dragon Ants.

Even if the dragon ants can defeat the blood demon wizard, they still cannot kill him in a short time.

At that time, there were five Yuan Souls present. If there had been any delay, they would have been doomed.

Looking at the sleeping Ancient Banyan King, Li Wei hoped that Senior Mana would awaken soon.

"Without further ado, let's begin the creation of the shadow clones."

The three key elements of a shadow clone:

Shadow Demon Crystal Core, Divine Fruit, Vessel for Possession.

The container, needless to say, exists as the "physical body" of the clone. Li Wei plans to try using his body-refining clone as a container directly. If that doesn't work, he'll find a body-refining avatar with exceptional talent and take it over.

The Divine Fruit was used to separate a wisp of Li Wei's divine consciousness, nurturing the brain and soul of the clone.

The Shadow Demon Core serves as the bridge connecting Li Wei and his clone.

Following the instructions of the secret method, Li Wei began the busy refining process.

Meanwhile, the Holy Infant was not idle either.

Even though he had already mastered the three arts of wizardry and didn't need to refine the Ultimate Soul for the time being, he found that he seemed to never have a moment to catch his breath, which was truly strange.

Before Li Wei went into seclusion, as the Dawn Tower Master, he also had to coordinate the operation of various aspects of the Ancient Saint Plane.

In his spare time, the Holy Infant refined all the magical artifacts on his body. After all, the Roman Ring contained so many rare materials; might as well use them.

Now, the Extreme Fire Wheel, the Crimson Dragon Ring, and the Purgatory Nine Dragon Umbrella are all top-grade witch artifacts, and they are all among the best.

Inside the weapon-refining room.

Phoenix is ​​burning himself out.

A crimson secret sword floated and sank within it.

This is a new secret sword made by adding level 5 peak amethyst, level 5 crimson iron, and many other fire element metals to the original [Amethyst Secret Sword].

The Holy Infant usually only uses the Fire Dragon Calamity in battle, but he has also mastered other innate spells of his true form.

However, because it did not fit the faction, its power was diminished, so it was rarely used.

Even though the Flying Heaven Secret Sword Style is discounted, its power is still considerable.

In recent years, the main body has been busy in seclusion, and the Holy Infant must improve its strength in all aspects as much as possible to protect the safety of the Ancient Saint Plane.

Finally, a top-grade secret sword radiating a crimson light was completed. The entire sword exuded a scorching aura, and within its interior, the phantom of a ferocious, crimson-scaled python could be seen roaming.

This crimson python is the spirit of a top-grade fifth-ring witch artifact within the Roman Ring. Judging from its appearance, it seems to have had dragon blood in its previous life.

In order to amplify the power of this secret sword, the Holy Infant used his superb weapon-forging skills to separate the weapon spirit from the sorcery and forge it into his own sorcery.

He muttered incantations, then waved his hand, and the crimson secret sword transformed into a streak of red light, disappearing into the sky.

As it flew, the surrounding fire elemental power surged into it, revealing that this top-grade magical artifact could also mobilize the power of the elements of heaven and earth.

The infant Jesus looked regretful and murmured to himself:

"This [Crimson Python Spirit] was most likely a Level 6 sub-dragon in its lifetime... It's just a pity that some lousy weapon maker forged it into a Level 5 top-grade witch weapon, which is a real waste. Such a weapon spirit should be forged into a Level 6 witch weapon and a soul weapon."

Regardless, with this weapon spirit, the quality of my [Crimson Infant Sword] is no less than that of my original [Purple Light Sword]. With this secret sword, I have another powerful killing move.

Although the quality of the swords is comparable, the Purple Light Sword has a perfect partner, the sword spirit Frey, which is an advantage that the Crimson Infant Sword cannot match.

a few days later.

The Holy Infant journeyed to the Endless Sea.

A few days ago, Mia took over a shop in a large wizard market in the inner sea area, intending to open a crafting shop in the name of Master Fire Dragon, responsible for selling the crafting works of the Holy Infant, as well as accepting high-end customization services.

There was nothing they could do. Even though the ancient tower had been closed for ten years, there were still many people waiting for Master Fire Dragon's works, begging the Holy Infant to forge weapons for them.

After purchasing the Divine Fruit, the original owner's financial resources were greatly reduced, and his cash flow was reduced to a mere 1 million!

This made the original owner feel insecure, so he planned to use the Holy Infant's fame and weapon-making skills to make another fortune.

I originally wanted to go to the more bustling Starry Sea.

However, there are too many high-level wizard organizations there, and their forces are complex and intertwined, so it's inevitable that you'll offend people.

After some thought, I decided to choose the Inner Ring Road Zone 1, which is the most prosperous area in the Inner Ring Road sea area.

The First District has three high-ranking wizarding organizations: the Matic family, the Schubert family, and the Medlon family.

All three families have Yuanhun Wizards in charge, but the Holy Infant had already inquired about them beforehand.

The Matic family's business is medicine making; they are known as a potion-making family with a history of ten thousand years.

The Schubert family's business is magic arrays. The patriarch is a famous sixth-ring magic array wizard in the Endless Sea. His magic arrays have monopolized the market in the First District and are sold to all major districts of the Endless Sea.

The Medlon family was a vassal family of Seven Water Towers, responsible for the production of low-end parts and components for the shipbuilding industry in Seven Water Towers.

In general, none of these three powerful wizard families are involved in the weapon-making industry, so there is no conflict between them and the Holy Infant opening a weapon-making shop, and they will not easily offend the Yuanhun wizards.

After all, I haven't broken through to level six yet. It's best to avoid provoking a Yuanhun expert if possible.

The three major families do not engage in the manufacture of utensils because there are relatively many utensils manufacturing shops in the first district, resulting in fierce competition and low profit margins.

However, anything produced by Master Fire Dragon is bound to be of high quality. Relying on the connections and reputation he has accumulated within the tower, he should be able to establish himself in the first district.

……

First District.

The continent of Aize.

This is the largest island in the inner ring sea area, and its area is comparable to that of the loess landmass in the outer ring area.

The mainland has a large population of ordinary people and is also the main source of wizarding talents for the First District.

Large and small wizard markets are scattered throughout the area. In addition, there are hundreds of mid-level wizard organizations located here.

The three major families also have many branches here, operating their own businesses.

On the eastern coastline of the continent lies the largest wizarding market in the First District.

City of Witches, Number One.

The city is teeming with powerful individuals, including numerous fourth- and fifth-ring wizards, and there may even be Yuanhun wizards hiding among them.

Along the Sea Avenue in the center of Witch City, all kinds of shops lined the streets: craft shops, medicine shops, brothels... you name it.

People frequently stood at the doorway shouting, making it clear that survival in this area was not easy.

In front of a prime location shop, two witches from the Fifth Ring Road are locked in a tense standoff.

One of them was Mia, who had just hung up the sign for the Fire Dragon House and was holding her opening ceremony today when she encountered some minor troubles.

The witch opposite us looks fierce and menacing, with a face full of scars. She is also a craftswoman, and her shop is right across from the Fire Dragon Hut, called [Suman Craftswoman's Shop].

After the Fire Dragon Master settled in this place, some unscrupulous craftsmen, worried that their businesses would be affected, came to cause trouble time and time again.

The others, whose cultivation levels were average, were all rebuffed by Mia. But the fierce witch before them was actually at the peak of the fifth ring, making her a first-rate expert in this witch city.

With Mia's top-grade magical artifacts and trump cards, defeating this person in the wild would not be difficult, but fighting is prohibited within the Witch City.

As the two confronted each other, more and more onlookers flocked to the scene.

Mia said calmly:

"This place is legally rented by me. If you continue to cause trouble and disrupt the opening ceremony, don't blame me for being impolite."

The witch Suman sneered without saying a word, her aura of perfect five-ring perfection emanating from her, intimidating the entire audience.

Behind her were several fifth-ring wizards, all of whom also owned wizarding shops. They were gathered together to resist the Fire Dragon Hut.

This is called Gresham's Law, where bad money drives out good. Because they are afraid of losing their business, they unite to boycott excellent merchants. In Li Wei's previous life, this situation was common.

As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. These people have been rooted in Witch City No. 1 for a long time, and they even have connections with the city's law enforcement officers. In addition, they are numerous and powerful, so they don't have much respect for the Fire Dragon Master who has never shown his face.

Seeing that Su Man ignored her, Mia was annoyed. Although she was usually mild-mannered, she couldn't help but feel a murderous intent at this moment.

But this is the wizarding world, not the Dark Tower.

Although order has collapsed since the war between the wizards, killing people indiscriminately in the streets is definitely unacceptable.

Su Man sneered:

"What? You want to kill me? Even if Master Fire Dragon came, would he dare to kill me? There are so many people watching... I think that a prodigy like Master Fire Dragon, who doesn't even care about the council's reward of ten million Tai Stones, shouldn't be competing with us lowly folks here. He's not giving us a way to survive... Don't you all agree?"

"Yeah, if you're a genius, go to the Starry Sea! What are you doing lounging around here?"

"That's right."

Under the covert machinations of these people, Mia unexpectedly became the target of everyone's attacks.

She laughed in exasperation:

"Why don't we summon the city lord to settle this matter?"

Su Man, feeling confident and fearless, said:

"Suit yourself. I didn't do anything. I was just speaking up for some ordinary craftsmen in the city."

Just now.

A handsome, red-haired male wizard descended from the sky, accompanied by a stunningly beautiful young witch dressed in a floral witch's dress—the Holy Infant and Elena.

Elena was naturally invited by the Holy Infant through Levi's connections to attend the opening ceremony and make a good impression.

Li Wei had anticipated this, so he had informed Baihua in advance, and Baihua readily agreed to this small favor.

Unwittingly, Baihua released the aura of her primordial spirit, which directly enveloped the entire Witch City.

She smiled confidently:

"Lord Ace, your shop has a great location; it's sure to be a thriving business."

The aura of the Yuanhun descended upon Wucheng. Mia was overjoyed, while Suman and the other five-ring wizards' expressions changed drastically.

Mia was surprised that the Fire Dragon Master could actually invite the Flower Witch, who was said to be a good friend of Lord Levi.

The Soul Wizard is famous throughout the Endless Sea, not to mention Elena, a rising star who frequently appears on the front page of major newspapers. Many people present had already heard of the Flower Witch's name.

Su Man's face turned green, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

If it were just Master Fire Dragon coming, she knew she was no match for him, but she wasn't afraid. In broad daylight, even Fire Dragon wouldn't dare kill her.

But someone as important as Elena, holding a key position in the Tower of Stars, could easily be imprisoned or simply vanished under any legal pretext...

Even if the council guesses it, so what? One is a genius Yuan Soul, the other is an ordinary five-ring perfected one. It's obvious which is more important.

It's fair to say that even with the existing laws, the Yuanhun Wizards are still absolutely superior to these people. There is no such thing as equality.

Most importantly, she herself knew perfectly well that she was in the wrong and was simply being unreasonable.

The Holy Infant asked:

"Mia, what's going on? What are these people trying to do?"

Mia, now feeling triumphant, gave Su Man a cold look and said:

"Sir, this woman and those people are deliberately causing trouble at our grand opening ceremony today."

Su Man's face turned ashen, and she retorted:

"No... You misunderstand, sir. I just wanted to visit Master Fire Dragon's shop."

Others echoed:

"That's right, Miss Mia, don't overthink it. The master's reputation is comparable to that of a Yuanhun Wizard, renowned throughout the world. How could we, mere shrimps, dare to offend the master?"

"Yes, I'm here today to present a congratulatory gift for the master's business opening."

"That's right, I'm also giving a congratulatory gift!"

In an instant, these people all changed their tune.

Mia sneered inwardly.

These people are truly spineless. Just a moment ago they were claiming they weren't afraid of the fire dragon wizard, but now their faces are utterly disgusting.

The Holy Infant's gaze swept over the group, none of them daring to meet his eyes. After a long silence, he smiled and said:

"Since you've come to offer your congratulatory gifts, please leave them here."

The troublemakers, as if granted a pardon, left their gifts and hurriedly departed.

Su Man looked at the master with extreme resentment in her heart, but on the surface she still had to greet him with a smile and was unwilling to leave.

The Holy Infant gazed at her retreating figure with a calm look in his eyes.

Elena smiled and said:

"Master, I didn't bring any gifts."

The Holy Infant laughed:

"It is an honor for our humble abode that you, senior, could attend our store's opening ceremony."

The crowd dispersed, gazing at Master Fire Dragon with envy.

"This is a top-tier genius... Even a primordial spirit witch like the Flower Witch took the initiative to befriend him."

"Isn't that right? It seems the manufacturing industry in Witch City is about to be monopolized."

When the opening ceremony ended, a white-robed wizard with a weathered face came to the door of the hut.

The Holy Infant's heart skipped a beat; it was actually a Yuanhun Wizard. Sure enough, the mastermind behind this Witch City was a Level Six being.

The white-robed wizard smiled wryly:

"I am the city lord of this place, and I have been in seclusion. I had no idea that Master Huolong would come to this small city to buy property. If he had informed me earlier, this farce would not have happened today. I have taken back the shops of Suman and those troublemakers and dismissed them. These people are truly lawless and arrogant!"

The Holy Infant thought to himself.

This old man acted like a turtle when he was causing trouble. He must have received benefits from Su Man and her people. Otherwise, how could Su Man and her people dare to be so arrogant?

Elena remained calm and said indifferently:

"May I ask your honorable name?"

She only knew people at a similar level to herself, and she couldn't be bothered to pay attention to ordinary Yuan Souls like this.

The city lord was not angry and smiled:

"Avatar Ryan, just call me the [Tidal Wave Wizard]."

Elena seemed thoughtful, then smiled and said:

"Are you from the Ryan family in District 3?"

The city lord laughed:

"Alas, all that is in the past. Now I am but a lonely ghost, incomparable to a rising star like Lady Elena."

Elena said:

"Your Excellency need not be modest. To achieve the primordial spirit is already a remarkable feat. I am here today merely to attend a friend's ceremony. He will be developing his career here in the future, and I hope Your Excellency will take care of him."

Avat laughed:

"Of course, it is our honor to have a genius like Master Fire Dragon reside in our Witch City. Hahaha, Master, if you have any questions in the future, feel free to come to me."

The Holy Infant smiled and said:

"I won't trouble my seniors; I just hope for a fair and stable business environment."

After leaving his contact information for the Holy Infant, the city lord bid farewell and left.

After the ceremony, Elena looked at the infant Jesus and said:

"Here are ten million taels of silver; consider this my congratulatory gift."

The Holy Infant quickly declined, saying:

"Senior, this is far too precious. Li Wei will definitely reprimand me if he finds out I accepted this gift..."

Elena smiled and said:

"My money has nothing to do with him, so what are you afraid of?"

Holy Infant Path:

"You are his friend, and I have already troubled you. It would be inappropriate to accept another gift... How about this, I will accept this ten million from you as an investment. One-tenth of the profits from the shop in the future will belong to you."

Elena, being incredibly clever, joked:

"You've got a real scheme going on, the Endless Sea can hear it... Fine, consider it my investment. From now on, I'll be the owner of this little shop. If you run into any big trouble, I'll help you sort it out to the best of my ability."

The Holy Infant chuckled sheepishly.

He naturally wanted to tie Elena to his side. That way, running the shop would be much more secure in the future.

Elena was happy with this arrangement, as it meant she wouldn't lose anything. With the Fire Dragon Master's reputation and strength, she was sure to receive a substantial share of the profits in the future.

After the ceremony, Elena left first, and the Holy Infant gave Mia some instructions before also leaving in a hurry.

Seeing Ace easily resolve everything, Mia was overjoyed.

Soon, news of the opening of the Fire Dragon Shop spread throughout City One.

On the same day, people came to buy witchcraft artifacts. These artifacts were practice pieces made during the Holy Infant's liver training, and now they were being sold to make the best use of them.

Meanwhile, some of the Five Rings wizards who had been living in seclusion in the city also began to seek customized services.

Despite Li Wei and the Holy Infant's top-tier equipment, even ordinary fifth-ring wizards might not possess fifth-ring magical artifacts. For them, the legendary Fire Dragon Master, whose craftsmanship was rumored to be of exceptional quality, was incredibly alluring.

Time flies, and a year has passed.

Fire Dragon Shop has already established a firm foothold in Witch City No. 1.

The fact that things went so smoothly was naturally inseparable from the city lord's favor.

The Holy Infant would also occasionally have Mia send gifts to the city lord to maintain their relationship.

Getting things done in the Wizarding World without connections is very difficult.

Some are happy, some are sad.

As Huolong Shop grew and its reputation spread, it naturally affected the interests of some people.

However, after hearing that the Flower Witch was a shareholder of the Fire Dragon Shop, how dare these people act so presumptuously?

The female craftswoman named Su Man never returned to Wucheng, and her whereabouts remain unknown.

A certain sea area in Zone 1.

A magnificent floating city of witches, the residence of the Schubert family.

The nominal patriarch was a fifth-circle perfect wizard, and he looked at the intelligence brought by his servant.

"In just one year, they've become one of the most famous magical artifact shops on the continent of Azeroth. This Fire Dragon Master certainly has some skills. It seems they're poised to become the fourth family to monopolize the magical artifact industry in this region..."

……

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

The year 1243 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Blazing Fire.

Relying on the Fire Dragon Shop, the Holy Infant took on some business orders. In his spare time from cultivation, he would refine weapons to earn money and subsidize his main body.

In fact, within two years of opening, Huolong Store's turnover, which was earned after selling off its initial inventory, was nearly ten million yuan.

The profits decreased afterward, not because of market saturation or other reasons.

Simply because the shop now only accepts custom orders for witchcraft items from the fourth ring and above, and there is limited time available for just one person, Saint Infant.

Those who come to the store to buy witchcraft items also recognize the brand of Master Fire Dragon; if it is made by someone else, it will lack competitiveness.

Furthermore, rapid expansion could easily provoke hostility from the other three major families.

Therefore, Huolong Shop takes every step with extra care and caution.

In an effort to slightly increase production and efficiency, Li Wei contacted the Middle-earth team, asking them to find a way to recruit a group of dwarven wizards and send them to the Tower of Dawn for training.

The dwarves are renowned in the crafting industry, and many top wizarding organizations employ dwarven craftsmen.

In the future, leveraging the reputation established by Master Huolong, we will gradually promote the works of other masters in the store, and ultimately use the craftsmanship to support Li's repair shop.

These days, dark wizards are incredibly cunning; getting money out of them is no easy feat.

Li Wei's strength and status are different now than before.

In the future, he plans to gradually utilize the three arts of wizardry to begin his money-making empire.

At this point, the disguises he had acquired inside the ancient tower came in handy.

The Holy Infant is inherently a "master craftsman," which goes without saying.

As for Gandalf, Livy plans to create a persona of "body refinement and potion master," using the reputation of "Light of the Rogue Cultivator" to make money by crafting potions. He will then have his body refinement clone impersonate Gandalf.

Victor, on the other hand, is a character with the "magic circle and flying secret sword style".

In this way, it would be quite interesting to think about how these three identities could be transformed into industry giants in the three wizarding arts.

Of course, these are just preliminary ideas, and many difficulties will inevitably need to be overcome in the future.

……

Ancient Sage Plane.

Within the fairy realm.

Li Wei was busy, with his body-refining clone sitting in front of him, with spirit fruits and shadow demon crystals floating on either side.

Over two years, Li Wei successfully planted his own divine thought seed within the Spirit Fruit, which greatly depleted his spiritual energy.

This seed of divine thought, nurtured for two years in the rare and precious medicinal material, the Spirit Fruit, has gradually begun to develop a trace of spirituality.

The black ginseng fruit resembled a baby embryo, and its fingers would occasionally twitch, which Li Wei found amazing.

In a sense, this fruit can now be considered a human embryo.

This human consciousness is a replica of Li Wei's, yet it is completely independent, as if it were a clone that could be controlled by Li Wei.

Over the course of two years of refining, Li Wei's understanding of the art of creating clones deepened.

He had a gut feeling that this body-refining clone was different from the Holy Infant clone. It was a truly independent life form and should be able to advance to the Yuan Soul stage on its own!

This made him realize that if the Holy Infant clone wanted to advance, it might also need to use the Divine Fruit.

Over two years, Li Wei spent many rare materials modifying his body-refining clone, aiming to create the most perfect body-refining husk.

However, the time required to create the shadow clone was longer than he had imagined.

And just like that, four years slipped through my fingers.

Within the Immortal Realm, Li Wei has been sitting in meditation for six years, working on refining his shadow clone.

He rehearses each step countless times before attempting it, ensuring success on the first try.

For Li Wei, six years was nothing more than a period of seclusion.

But for the four major organizations of the Ancient Saint Plane, six years is enough to change a lot.

Among the eighteen riders at dusk.

Blood Knight and Ash Knight have already reached the late stage of level four. Divine Light Knight has also been immersed in the mid-stage for a long time, and advancing to the late stage is just a matter of time.

Mesozoic Era.

The Silver Dragon Knight was the first to reach level four, giving birth to the Bloodline Avatar [Silver Dragon of the Mountain].

This is a phantom of a silver mountain dragon crackling with electricity, which allows the Silver Dragon Knight's combat skills to infuse powerful electrical effects. Simultaneously, the stimulation of the electricity greatly enhances the silver dragon's stamina and explosive power.

Among the new generation.

The halberd-wielding warrior and the alligator turtle knight also reached the third level, each forging their own divine weapons: the [Sky-Supporting Halberd] and the [Mystic Turtle Heavy Armor]. One is a powerful, sweeping weapon with unparalleled attack, while the other is a weapon with constantly stacked armor, providing ultimate defense.

The Snow Dragon Knight, Feather Knight, and Pheasant Knight are all at the late stage of the second level. In the near future, all eighteen riders of Twilight will be at the third level.

At the 147th Roundtable Meeting and the 14th Dawn Meeting, which concluded, participants reported on the achievements of the past few years, and the overall trend of the Ancient Saint Plane was stable and positive.

Leaving aside the Twilight Eighteen Riders, the number of knights of level one or above in the Twilight Temple has reached 430.

Among them, there were thirty Level Two fighters. Many of these individuals had challenged the new generation of the Eighteen Riders, but all had failed.

Unless another freak like the Fire Dragon Knight appears, or the eighteen riders perish, their position will be difficult to shake.

on the other hand.

After more than ten years of development, the Tower of Dawn now has nearly a hundred teachers and students. Of course, most of them are apprentice-level wizards, but there are also quite a few exceptionally talented individuals who have successfully advanced to become full-fledged wizards.

Ancient Dragon Empire.

The Serpent Demon Ancient Saint successfully advanced to Level 5 and was bestowed the title of "Serpent King" by the Emperor. In addition, there are now 60 Level 4 Ancient Saints and nearly 400 Level 3 Lizardmen, and the battle group continues to expand.

Those exceptional geniuses whom Li Wei constantly monitored also made progress.

Aya, who had just celebrated her 45th birthday, successfully advanced to the second-circle wizard level. Moreover, her cultivation progressed without encountering any obstacles, which allowed the fledgling young generation of the Tower of Dawn to experience the diversity of the world for the first time.

……

The year 1248 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of budding.

Unbeknownst to him, Li Wei had been refining his body clone for a full seven years.

This day.

The Divine Fruit and the Shadow Demon Crystal Core shone brightly, surging into the mind and heart of the Body Refinement Avatar, respectively.

Li Wei immediately followed the instructions of the secret method, reciting the incantation. His mental energy was consumed like water as he took medicine and persevered.

An hour later, the fusion was completely complete. A white-haired wizard with flesh and blood, radiating spiritual energy, resembling Gandalf in appearance and possessing a robust physique, appeared before Levi.

Livy's consciousness entered Gandalf's mind, and in the center of his sea of ​​consciousness was a seven-colored crystal of spiritual energy, but without the Holy Tower of the Rings.

The crystal did not contain the phantom images of Li Wei's strange objects or numerous spells. It only contained the body-refining spells previously mastered by the body-refining clone.

Apart from that, Gandalf's mind was completely empty, containing no magical artifacts or treasures.

"Nothing else matters, as long as my seven-colored crystal is replicated, Gandalf can practice any school of body-refining magic."

It wasn't easy. Seven years, thousands of days and nights of painstaking work, and finally, the hard work has paid off... Wake up, my Gandalf!

Li Wei called out.

The white-haired wizard opened his kind eyes and looked at Li Wei with a bewildered expression.

"who I am?"

Li Weidao:

"You are me, and you are Gandalf."

Gandalf's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood up, feeling his own imposing physique.

"Oh, I am Gandalf, the alter ego of Livy!"

Li Weidao:

"Gandalf, show us your strength."

Gandalf nodded, his fists clenched so tightly that veins bulged, and bronze-colored body-refining runes shimmered on his skin.

boom!

He was like a dragon, smashing a small mountain with a single punch and cracking the earth with a single stomp.

"Rock Demon!"

In an instant, Gandalf's body turned black, like a gargoyle.

"Water ghost!"

He exploded with a bang, scattering into a mist composed of countless particles that raged across the heavens and earth.

After flying a thousand miles, two thousand miles, three thousand miles, Gandalf did not disband or collapse.

An independent body-refining clone no longer needs to have its movement restricted by the main body.

Li Wei muttered to himself:

"It should be a success. Now let's see if Gandalf can practice the body-refining method independently."

Three days later.

Li Wei was recovering his energy and preparing to resume refining the rare items when a notification sound from the control panel came to his mind.

[Bronze Elephant Body Refinement Technique Proficiency +134]

Upon seeing this, Li Wei burst into laughter.

"As expected, from now on, the path of body refinement will be handed over to Gandalf."

At this moment, Li Wei felt a sense of relief. The Three Arts and the Divine Talisman were given to the Holy Infant, and the Body Refinement was given to Gandalf; his own tasks were greatly reduced.

Moreover, it was discovered after use that...

Compared to the Holy Infant, Gandalf's independent thinking ability is much stronger, and he doesn't need to use up too much of Livy's CPU.

Basically, Gandalf can be considered a completely independent life form.

In the future, he will most likely be able to advance to level six on his own and become a Body Refining Soul Wizard.

The path of the Body Refining Wizard differs from that of the conventional Spell Wizard; it is exceptionally simple and pure.

All you need to do is continuously solidify body-refining runes and body-refining spells on your body, and both of these are already included in various body-refining methods.

Therefore, there is no need to wait for Li Wei's original body to reach the perfection of the nine talents. As long as Gandalf can raise his body-refining method to the perfection of the fifth ring, he can start preparing his primordial soul.

However, before that, Livy needs Gandalf to learn several new body-refining techniques.

Among these, there is a method that is said to be extremely difficult, namely the "Eight-Armed Demon God Body Refining Method", the ultimate body refining technique of the Sea Abyss Alliance!

After passing on many body-refining techniques to Gandalf, Li Wei continued to refine the strange objects.

This time, he intends to refine all 26 Earth-level rare treasures in one go.

……

Gandalf arrived at Cloud Dream Marsh, a land of water elements, suitable for cultivating the Eight-Armed Demon God Body Refinement Technique.

At the Prime Minister's residence, Lati was particularly curious when she saw a newcomer arrive.

Gandalf laughed:

"I am Gandalf, your future neighbor and friend of the Dragon King."

Lati nodded like a chick pecking at rice, thinking to herself:

"This old man seems quite kind."

Lati continued her practice, breathing in the power of the elements.

After reading the body-refining method, Gandalf pondered and said:

"To be called one of the four ancient body-refining methods is indeed extraordinary."

The "Eight-Armed Demon God Body Refining Method" has nine levels, each representing one of the nine realms from zero-ring apprentice to eight-ring wizard.

The core of this body-refining technique is to solidify "demon god runes" on the body.

Mastering even one demon rune is considered entering the field, and one can be called an apprentice.

Demon runes will greatly enhance an apprentice's physical abilities.

By mastering ten runes, one can create the simplest body-refining spell.

As the level increases, the required number of demon runes also increases.

Those who cultivate to the sixth level, like Mangang, have mastered at least 10 demon god runes, which can be combined to create complex five-ring body-refining spells, thereby simulating the powerful abilities of the eight-armed demon god.

This eight-armed demon god is not a demon, but a powerful sea emperor from ancient times, who is said to have the strength of the peak of level eight.

To become an eighth-ring wizard, one needs to solidify at least 1 million demon runes.

That's why the difficulty of cultivating this body-refining method far exceeds that of others.

Of course, it is difficult, but also powerful.

Generally speaking, conventional body-refining wizards are weaker than magic wizards.

However, if one could master the Eight-Armed Demon God technique, it would be comparable to the top geniuses of magic wizards.

"Let's begin. With my current level of body refinement, practicing this method in reverse shouldn't be too difficult."

Having gathered all the materials needed to practice this body-refining technique, Gandalf began his practice.

About seven days later, he opened his palm, and a black rune, like fine scales, appeared faintly.

"So these are demon runes? They don't seem too difficult... Weren't they supposed to be hard to learn?"

Gandalf was starting to have doubts about life. Had he been practicing wrong? Or was this body-refining method really that simple?

Li Wei, who was refining rare items, glanced at the proficiency panel and was astonished.

Li Wei————

Eight-Armed Demon God Body Refinement Technique: Tier 1 (1/1000), Special Effect: Demon God Body (Level 1).

……

[Demon God Body: Comprehensive enhancement of physical attributes, significant modification of the human body, initially transforming the body into the body of an eight-armed demon god.]

"Hmm, what's going on? He's already mastered the basics after only seven days of studying?"

Although the description of this [Demon God Body] is simple and unadorned, the phrase "all-round" and "significant" improvement highlights its understated luxury and power!

Li Wei suppressed his excitement and continued his seclusion.

He felt that the first few levels were probably too easy for Gandalf of the Fifth Ring, and that things would definitely slow down afterward.

Three months later.

Yunmeng Marsh.

Gandalf stared at the rapidly increasing number of Daedric runes in his palm and muttered to himself:

"Second floor, seems to be all there is to it... Let's go all out and see where my limit is."

So far, the Eight-Armed Demon God Body Refining Technique has not presented him with any significant challenges, given that the number of body refining runes required in the early stages is not high.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the year 1250 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, during the Green Grass Month, Livy turned 260 years old.

One-third of those Earth-level rare items were also refined, increasing Li Wei's mental strength limit by 40 points, leaving him only 70 points away from 1620.

Li Wei's mental strength also increased by 46 points in one go, now reaching 1353 points.

He felt that he could continue refining with his current state of mind, so he began a new round of seclusion.

At this moment, he opened the proficiency panel and was surprised to find that Gandalf had unknowingly trained the Eight-Armed Demon God Body Refinement Technique to the mid-stage of the second level.

"Gandalf's talent for body refinement is even stronger than I imagined. Otherwise, even with his superior abilities, his breakthrough speed wouldn't be this fast... I don't believe you can still be this fast after reaching the third level."

……

the other side.

Tool maker.

A purple-scaled creature, radiating an eerie light, floated before the Holy Infant.

This is a protective magical artifact he created for Gandalf, based on the top-grade magical artifact, the Demon Scale Armor, from Mangang, and incorporating various rare materials such as level-five peak amethyst. It is now called the [Purple Scale Armor].

Generally speaking, the magical artifacts of a body-refining wizard don't need to be too complicated; layered armor is sufficient.

In addition, over the past two years, he has also reforged the Black Sun Compass, a top-grade magical artifact he obtained from the Black Moon Wizard, and the Golden Mirror, from the Golden Light Wizard, as life-saving magical artifacts for Gandalf's future actions.

As for the main body, having the [Thunder God's Hammer] and the [Ouroboros Ring], two void-traversing artifacts, is sufficient.

Now, Li Wei also has a solution to the problem of the Holy Infant being unable to condense the Ultimate Soul.

However, he still needs a Divine Fruit to perform this.

In the days that followed, he instructed Mia and others to inquire about the whereabouts of the Divine Fruit from all major wizarding schools and to closely monitor various high-end wizarding gatherings and auctions.

At the same time, he also began to further declutter, selling some of the better witchcraft items to raise funds for the auction.

With the profits from Huolong Shop over the years, Li Wei's Taishi reserves have unknowingly reached 2 million.

……

Time flies.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the year 1255 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, during the Wheat Field Month, King Li Long was 265 years old.

At this point, 24 years had passed since the ancient pagoda was closed.

In recent years, incidents of murder and robbery of participants in ancient pagodas have occurred frequently in various schools of thought.

However, nothing happened while Li Weigou was at home.

Yunmeng Marsh.

Gandalf opened his eyes, his right arm clenched, the thousands of demonic runes on his arm gleaming with an ancient, primordial aura, like fine scales, shining brightly in the sunlight.

"Who could withstand a punch from that massive arm?"

His Eight-Armed Demon God Body Refinement Technique has already reached the third level.

After the third level, the difficulty of cultivation increases dramatically, and it may take a long time to break through again.

the other side.

Little Stone Pool.

Li Wei opened his eyes, and the seven-colored crystal in his mind was filled with countless strange and illusory images.

He felt the expanding spiritual energy and placed his hand on the Klein crystal ball.

[Mental Strength: 1511/1700]

[Spell Power: 15.11 million]

Five years later, all the remaining artifacts had increased Li Wei's mental strength limit by a total of 150 points, allowing him to exceed the mission's target.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Now, all that remained standing in his way for the Path of Infinite Souls were the ninth innate spell and the ultimate soul that had achieved 81 perfect stages.
