Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 369 Gandalf Arrives in Middle-earth, Lucy Presents a Gift from the Endless Sea! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

Little Stone Pool.

Li Wei sat cross-legged, looking inward into his mind.

The five-tiered Dharma Ring Holy Tower became increasingly solid, just like the real thing.

Meanwhile, Ah Jin, Ah Biao, Frey, and other companion spirits have all shown significant growth compared to before.

Compared to before, the seven-colored crystal had grown much larger, and even seemed to be trembling, which made Li Wei's expression turn serious.

"I refined dozens of rare items in one go, and my spiritual power expanded too much in a short period of time. My state of mind and will couldn't keep up, and the crystal structure became somewhat unstable. I definitely can't cultivate too aggressively in the next few years. I need to stabilize the seven-colored crystal first."

The best way to hone one's mental strength is to condense the ultimate soul.

Aside from enhancing mental strength and its potential, these wondrous items held little general significance for Li Wei, as they were all merely Earth-level wondrous items.

However, little by little, the power of Li Wei's magic from the four major schools of earth, fire, and feng shui was significantly enhanced.

Li Wei roughly estimated that its power had increased by about one-fifth compared to before.

The gap between him and the Yuanhun is gradually narrowing.

His main elemental spell talents have also been optimized to varying degrees, which can be considered a minor improvement.

In addition, he also developed two special talents at the Earth level.

These are the Earth-type talent [Heart of Dust] and the Fire-type talent [Time of First Flame].

Now, behind Li Wei's Ether Meditation Technique, a large number of special talent entries have been accumulated.

Since the quality is poor, he'll just focus on quantity.

The emergence of these special talents made his future cultivation journey increasingly smooth.

It is worth mentioning that one of the unknown metal-type artifacts gave birth to Li Wei's seventh companion spirit to date.

He called it the "Gold-Swallowing Toad" and named it "A-Gua".

Similar to A Long, A Gua can devour any metal ore of level 5 or below, and then extract purified, impurity-free metal that can be directly used for crafting and forging.

It has now been sent by Li Wei to the Holy Infant to assist in the Holy Infant's weapon crafting.

The appearance of Agua finally gave Phoenix a chance to breathe, avoiding the tragic fate of the "Phoenix" being exploited and turned into a "turkey".

Agua's purification efficiency and quality are much higher than Phoenix's, making it a veritable fully automatic steelmaking boiler.

As Li Wei's strength increases, A Gua's ability to purify metal ores can also be improved accordingly.

The above is what he gained from refining all the Earth-level rare items.

Some of the gains are of little help to his current strength and are not worth mentioning.

Now, Li Wei only has four rare items left to refine.

These are three refined Earth-grade artifacts and one Sky-grade artifact, the [Cry of the Cicada].

Li Wei didn't plan to exchange those three Earth-level rare items; he could reward them later to wizards who made outstanding contributions to the organization.

While the Thunderbug Pupa has the potential to evolve into the Thunderbutterfly Dance, the time required is too long. It's better to utilize and develop it sooner rather than later.

"This intermittent seclusion lasted for more than ten years, and I have reached the limit of 30 Souls... It was really not easy."

Because most of the time is spent concentrating on refining rare items.

Li Wei's progress in various aspects of training, including combat skills and runewords, has slowed considerably compared to before. He needs to catch up on those areas.

He opened the proficiency panel, and the progress of the Golden Snake Breathing Technique had increased significantly compared to before, almost reaching halfway.

By calculation, his knightly realm has already reached the mid-stage of level five, and he expects to be able to attempt to break through to level six when he is around three hundred years old.

The Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique is not far from level five; it won't be long before I break through.

At that time, everyone will be at level five, all in perfect unison. Li Wei's Nightmare Lord level will also be promoted.

The path of bloodline dharma body is already at the peak of the eighth rank, and a breakthrough is just a matter of the next two years.

It's unknown whether the Six Paths Gods will be able to advance to a new form.

In terms of body refinement, Gandalf has made significant progress in the "Bronze Elephant Body Refinement Method" thanks to his efforts. He has also reached the mid-stage of the third level of the "Eight-Armed Demon God Body Refinement Method".

Li Wei doesn't need to worry about the body-refining method.

Of Li Wei's four arts, the three arts of wizardry are already perfected, and the art of talisman making is at the peak of the fourth level. The Holy Infant is currently overcoming the final hurdle and will break through to the fifth level in no time.

At that time, hundreds of fifth-tier fire dragon talismans will explode in succession. I wonder if they can shake the primordial soul?

After closing the panel, Li Wei suddenly discovered that the seeds of the Nine-Leaf Blood Dharani that he had planted around the Little Stone Pool had actually taken root and sprouted without him noticing.

His face lit up with joy.

"By the time you grow up, I should be around level six. Then I can go to the Dark Lands and lure black beasts."

Cemetery for the dead.

Since the last round of flowering and fruiting, the dead soul jujube tree has grown taller, and it is estimated that the yield will also increase slightly in the next round of flowering and fruiting.

In the cemetery training grounds, swordsman Gerry is conducting combat skills training on a group of oddly shaped undead creatures.

These undead creatures varied in strength, and most of them were captured by Li Wei from the Dragonbone Mountains.

Over the years, quite a few undead creatures have actually made breakthroughs in strength. It seems that this Death Graveyard is more suitable for the growth of undead creatures than the Hell Realm.

After breaking through to level six, Li Wei plans to personally visit the Realm of Hell.

Firstly, to find materials for upgrading the Necronomicon to a sixth-circle artifact.

Secondly, they could capture a large number of level four and five or higher undead and cultivate them in the Immortal Realm, thus creating a considerable elite undead army.

These guys might not be very useful in fighting against experts, but they would be the best cannon fodder in large-scale wizard wars.

Even if most of the soldiers are killed or wounded in a battle, it doesn't matter; we can just go to Hell to restock.

One of the essences of the Death School lies in the "Undead Scourge" mass army strategy.

Under the ancient banyan tree.

The fusion of Mana and Masa has been going on for over a decade, and it seems it's not over yet.

The Crystal Dragon Ants quietly guarded one side, waiting for their next molt.

Inside the Golden Light Cave.

In times of peace, the Sword of Victory has always been here absorbing the power of metallic elements, nurturing the wondrous object of truth.

Li Wei would also occasionally feed it some low-level elemental metals or scrapped magical artifact materials.

Thirty years have passed since the Sword of Victory began to conceive the artifact, the Sword of the Dustmen.

Perhaps it was Li Wei's feeding that had an effect, because now in the Holy Sword Tomb, there is a semi-illusory bronze sword floating in its scabbard, with the runes of truth flickering and fading on it.

"It's already halfway developed..."

Under normal circumstances, it takes a hundred years to create one Dust People's Sword, and fifty years to nurture half of it.

The fact that thirty years have accomplished what fifty years have shown that Li Wei's method is still effective.

"If only we had a lot of gold leaves... they could not only help Mana and me with our training, but also greatly promote the creation of wondrous things."

Li Wei thought of the Golden Holy Realm, which was definitely his "second homeland" that he had never seen before, full of walking wonders, which sounded exciting.

Flaming Mountain.

The iron tree is now two and a half zhang tall; it grows incredibly slowly. Without fertilizer, it would only grow one zhang in a hundred years. By the time the iron tree "blooms," it would be long enough for a legendary wizard to die.

On the other hand, the life force of the Ash Dragon Egg grows stronger year by year, but it just won't hatch.

However, Li Wei could understand. Even the dragon eggs of Raja and the others took more than ten years to hatch, let alone the pure-blooded dragons.

It has just gone through a process of facing death and being reborn, and is now constantly gathering momentum. When the time is right, its abundant vitality will break free of the eggshell and soar into the sky.

Leilong Mountain.

Thunderstorm Wolf Dragon has advanced to the late stage of level five. It was originally at the mid stage of level five, and now that it has met a wise master, it can quietly cultivate and grow in this blessed land, with no worries about food and clothing, so its progress is naturally rapid.

Whenever it thinks of this, the Thunderstorm Wolf Dragon feels deeply moved. The Dragon King is its second father, and even if its biological father came, it would not be as great as the kindness of its adoptive father!

Flowing Sand Sea.

The three Earthquake Dragon brothers have all reached the mid-stage of level 5, and now they can be said to be proud and triumphant.

When Li Wei arrived at Yunmengze, he couldn't help but look delighted.

Looking around, the first batch of cherry tomato orchards planted earlier have now all blossomed and borne fruit. The lush green fruits exude a sour and astringent aroma that makes one's mouth water.

"It wasn't easy! I'm about to achieve cherry tomato freedom!"

In the swamp.

Gandalf, who was so engrossed in his spiritual practice that he couldn't extricate himself, saw Livy and flew over as a beam of light.

Prime Minister Turtle Lati also opened his eyes from the water palace.

"Your Majesty the Dragon King, it's been a long time."

Li Wei laughed:

"Long time no see... To hone everyone's combat skills, I plan to hold the 'Number One Dragon Clan Tournament.' All members of the Dragon Palace are welcome to participate, and those who excel will receive a reward from the Dragon King. Lati, go and inform the shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and all the major dragon clans to encourage everyone to sign up."

Upon hearing this, Lati was overjoyed and said:

"Haha, interesting, the Dragon Palace is about to get lively."

The various dragon clans in the Dragon Palace have always primarily practiced Buddhist-style cultivation.

Li Wei also wanted to take this opportunity to test everyone's cultivation results, increase the competitive atmosphere, and promote progress.

a few days later.

On the vast grassland, Li Wei used a magic array to create a giant arena.

Members of the Dragon Palace, all of level three or four and above, led by the beautiful cheerleaders of the Begonia tribe, strode in with their heads held high and chests puffed out.

The onlookers, the Behemoth Clan, erupted in a deafening roar of cheers.

Among them, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the Black Lotus Beast.

After decades of self-discipline, it felt it was getting closer and closer to level six, and it might only need one opportunity to start its promotion.

After chatting with the Black Lotus Beast, Li Wei also learned that a sub-dragon species like it would need to overcome certain tribulations in order to advance to level six.

Li Wei estimated that when he himself advanced to level six as a knight, it would most likely be the same.

If the Black Lotus Beast could advance to level six before him, he would like to take the opportunity to observe and see if it could inspire his own knight advancement.

After all the contestants entered the arena, the host, Matriarch Beyoncé, said:

"Dear friends of the Dragon Palace, in this refreshing autumn season..."

After a brief warm-up, the World's Number One Dragon Path Tournament officially opened.

Then, all sorts of dragon roars filled the air.

Earth, fire, wind, water, various dragon breaths, spell-like attacks—a relentless barrage.

Having fought to their hearts' content, the physically powerful dragons began a brutal hand-to-hand combat.

Li Wei, who had been practicing for more than ten years, took a rare break and watched with great interest.

finally.

Black Lotus Beast won the first championship of the first World's Number One Dragon Tournament with an indisputable first place.

The Vampire Dragon followed closely behind, ranking second.

The Thunder Wolf Dragon, which advanced to level 5 and reached the late stage, became the third place.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth positions were taken by the three brothers, the Earthquake Dragon.

In addition, veterans such as the giant blue crab, mantis shrimp, and turtle prime minister have all made it into the top ten.

The Faceless Infant Dragon was unable to participate because she was in the Nightmare World; otherwise, with her strength, she should have been able to come in fourth place.

Of course, fourth-level dragons such as the Crimson Fire Python, Raja, Night Fang, and Gustav also received the "Progress Award," emphasizing participation.

As for the prizes... there are gold coins, as well as various rare items suitable for their growth. Of course, the Dragon King's "free medical check-up card" is also indispensable.

In the end, the first Dragon Way Conference came to a successful conclusion, and thereafter the Dragon Way Conference was held every ten years.

Ancient Sage Plane.

Li Wei listened to the report from Blood Knight and others.

During the years he was in seclusion, the Ancient Saint Plane suffered some attacks, not only from the cave wizards, but also from some extradimensional creatures that came due to the resurgence of the demonic tide.

Furthermore, according to intelligence gathered by spies, traces of sea creatures have been discovered in the waters surrounding the human realm.

Li Wei had anticipated this; the sea-folk count Baghdad, whom he had subdued, had said that the sea-folk had been trying to rebel against the Wizard Council.

As members of the sea race, they would likely not be allowed to pass through the portal.

Then there's only one possibility: the sea creatures discovered a wild subspace passage, allowing them to travel to and from the human world.

Li Wei wasn't too worried. The sea creatures' strength was only slightly greater than that of the cave wizards. They were no match for the Wizard Council.

In the eyes of the council, both the Black Dragon Empire and the Sea Clan Empire were just child's play.

In some ways, their role is similar to that of the indigenous civilizations in the Dark Tower.

The reason it exists is because the parliament believes it has value; if it decides it's no longer useful, it will be erased.

After a period of explosive growth, the number of first-tier knights born in the Twilight Temple has slowed down significantly in recent years.

Currently, there are only about 460 members. Although resources can help a group of people improve quickly in a short period of time, the Knights Order's foundation is not yet sufficient to support continuous explosive growth.

A few days ago, the Dawn Tower's admissions office recruited another water elemental child in the Star Empire in the human realm, named Garona Padilla.

This woman was a descendant of a fallen noble family in the empire. She was sold into a brothel and was discovered by a wizard who was visiting the brothel for research. It was quite a coincidence.

Now, she is studying under Mylin, practicing the "Deep Sea Meditation Method," and also works part-time as a pharmacist apprentice.

As the son of the water element, he naturally became a special focus of Li Wei's attention.

Such geniuses have the potential to become pillars of the Tower of Dawn in the future.

In the Ancient Dragon Empire, the Blackstone Ancient Saint recently advanced to level five and was bestowed the title "Rock King".

Feather King, Wing King, Azure King, Snake King, Rock King.

These five are the empire's top level five powerhouses. Each leads a lizardman warband, guarding the Eight Heavenly Dragon Prisons, and together with God Nick, they resist the enemy.

Li Wei also naturally elevated the realm of the Ancient Sage Empress to the "Ancient King" level.

If a lizardman were to advance to level six in the future, that would be the "Ancient Emperor" level.

To date, the Lizardmen Chapter remains the main warband of the Old Holy Plane, far surpassing the Twilight Temple in strength, including the Mink Knights.

After inspecting the four major organizations, Livy, accompanied by Gandalf, arrived at the dwelling place of the Holy Infant.

A golden toad the size of a house was perched on a mountain of ore, feasting on its meal; it was none other than A-Gua.

With a wave of his hand, the Holy Infant summoned a series of magical artifacts that spun around him.

These are the Black Sun Compass, the Purple Scale Armor, the Golden Mirror, and a purple staff called the Purple Dragon Scepter.

These are all the magical artifacts that the Holy Infant prepared for Gandalf. They have all been reforged and can be used with confidence.

The first three items need no further explanation; they are all improvements on the existing basis.

The fourth item is a spellcaster's scepter crafted by the Holy Infant using a fifth-level peak amethyst and many rare materials. It can be considered a replica of the [Ancient Tower Scepter] and is also a top-grade fifth-ring witch artifact.

The staff of the Purple Dragon is carved with a ferocious purple dragon, its head holding a dragon pearl. This will be Gandalf's primary weapon from now on.

The Purple Dragon Scepter weighs 25,000 jin and has four functions.

First, it enhances the spell power of the caster.

Second, the dragon's mouth can unleash a powerful, five-ring-level ranged attack, which is used to compensate for Gandalf's weakness in ranged attacks.

Third, the dragon's body can release a powerful [Purple Dragon Prison] force field, covering an area of ​​about a mile. This is designed by the Holy Infant imitating the original "Ice Dragon Prison" spell. Anyone trapped in the field will be suppressed by the purple light. At the same time, Gandalf's own attributes will also be slightly enhanced.

Fourth, the amethyst scepter is incredibly sturdy. The Holy Infant once tested it, and even when it clashed head-on with a level six rare treasure, it could withstand it for a while. When used to swing at someone, it is difficult for anyone other than a sixth-ring wizard to resist.

In this way...

Following the "Five Treasures of the Holy Infant," the "Four Treasures of Gandalf" came into being.

Compared to letting these top-tier magical artifacts gather dust in the hands of the main body, which has a variety of methods, it is the right choice to make good use of the clones.

With these four treasures, Gandalf's strength would be enough to make him invincible against the Primal Soul.

Gandalf thanked the Holy Infant:

"Thank you, sir."

The Holy Infant laughed:

"You're welcome, we're all family."

Li Wei silently watched the two clones chat.

Gandalf recited the incantation, and the four magical artifacts transformed into light, flooding into his mind.

Li Wei said to the Holy Infant:

"I don't have anything else to do here. You should hurry up and finish researching the fifth-tier divine talisman."

The Holy Infant nodded.

"OK."

Levi took Gandalf and left.

Entrance to the Ancient Saint Dimension.

In the fiery inferno, Phoenix was dozing off, completely liberated, and Levi did not disturb it.

He said to Gandalf:

"Refine the Eight-Armed Demon God Body Refining Technique to the fifth level as soon as possible and fuse it with the Bronze Statue Body Refining Technique. Before the fusion, do not use the Eight-Armed Demon God to avoid others discovering the origin of your technique."

Gandalf nodded and said:

"I see."

Li Weidao:

"Next, you will travel to Middle-earth. I have a few things for you to do, so please remember them."

Firstly, they secretly helped the Black Knights and other Middle-earth squads, resolving a potential catastrophe that could lead to their annihilation.

Secondly, he mingled with the dwarves, elves, and other humanoid races of Middle-earth, as well as rogue wizards, punishing evil and promoting good, and spreading his good name far and wide.

Thirdly, I will arrange a pharmacist's license for you. You will then establish a small pharmacist's shop in Middle-earth, responsible for undertaking the crafting of high-end potions and selling the potions crafted by our organization... The actual crafting work will be done by the Holy Infant.

Gandalf said:

"I see."

Li Wei waved his hand and laughed:

Goodbye, Lord Gandalf.

Gandalf laughed heartily:

"goodbye."

The two then parted ways.

Livy went to the Endless Sea to see Triss.

Gandalf travels to Middle-earth and begins his own legendary journey at the School of the Earth.

……

The endless sea.

Hades City.

At the entrance of the witch's shop.

"Senior, it's been a long time."

Celia laughed.

"Celia, your training has improved again."

Celia pouted and said:

"Senior, please don't joke around. Compared to your progress, mine is nothing."

Li Weidao:

"Any news about auctions lately?"

Celia nodded.

"This is a list of auctions that will be held in the next decade. Look, senior, there's also some information about the items that have been leaked from the auctions."

Li Wei expressed his gratitude:

"Thank you, Miss."

He put away the stone slab and appeared in the square of the Witch's House in an instant.

Lady Xianronglong is sleeping again. Li Wei has been to the Witch's House so many times, but she has only woken up a handful of times.

"Sigh, being a salted fish seems pretty good too."

Li Wei was filled with emotion.

He went to the witch's shop, checked the product list as usual, and bought some useful items.

As he was leaving, he saw Aonia walk in with a beaming smile. Knowing him as he did, it seemed that Aonia had recently made a breakthrough in her cultivation.

Aynia exclaimed in surprise:

"Hey, Li Wei, I didn't expect to see you here."

Li Weidao:

"Yes, I'm purchasing some supplies."

Ania said:

"Me too."

He remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was making comparisons.

Some time ago, he and Sera explored a medium-sized haunted world together.

He gained a lot from it, and his strength also increased significantly as a result.

My mental strength has now reached over 600 points, and I have successfully mastered the seventh talent spell, [Black Copper King's Sword Realm], which is a rare domain-type spell.

Once the domain force field is deployed, the surrounding area will be transformed into the realm of Aenia's King's Sword. As long as the domain remains intact, there will be a continuous stream of elemental sword energy to deliver devastating blows to the enemy.

After this realm was created, Sera, who advanced to the fifth ring and is now a senior, could only fight him to a draw. Even the old steward, who was at the fifth ring perfection, praised his sword realm highly.

Of course, Ms. Triss simply replied with a casual remark: "Well done, keep it up."

Now, upon seeing Li Wei, Aenea's competitive spirit is burning brightly within her.

After this period of reflection, my strength should be not much weaker than Li Wei's... right?

After this comparison, Ania discovered that Levi's mental strength was still slightly higher than her own, which puzzled Ania.

He felt that no matter what opportunities he obtained or how much breakthrough he made, Li Wei's cultivation level would always be slightly superior to his own...

Enia mustered her courage and said:

"Li Wei, I... I'd like to spar with you. I don't know if that's alright. I know you don't like sparring, but just this once."

Li Wei looked at Aynea with some surprise, thought for a moment, and said:

"Can."

Aenea's eyes shone as she gazed intently at Levi.

"Now then?"

Li Wei nodded.

He immediately pulled Li Wei to the training ground of the Witch's House.

At that moment, other witches were practicing their spells, including the Snow Lotus Witch.

After leaving the ancient tower, she received a generous reward from the organization. Coupled with her top-notch talent, she had already reached the advanced level of the fifth ring and mastered the eighth talent.

Seeing Aynea and Levi sparring, she looked over curiously.

Li Wei said:

Let's stop here.

Ania nodded.

"Be careful."

With a flick of his finger, a golden holy sword descended and struck towards Li Wei.

Sixth Talent: The Holy Sword of the Golden Bronze King!

The Snow Lotus Witch nodded slightly. Even she had to be careful to guard against Aonia's move. She wondered how this outside help witch would deal with it.

Li Wei raised his hand, and a water dragon roared, its abundant moisture enveloping the training ground. The water dragon swirled up the Holy Sword and shattered it. At his current level, the power of his third-ring talent, Water Dragon's Roar, far surpassed that of Aenea's fourth-ring talent. And this was even after he deliberately held back.

Ania was startled. Sure enough, Levi was still the same Levi, so easily breaking through her second strongest move.

He immediately became serious, and he soared high into the air, his magical power surging forth like a raging torrent.

Within a radius of about one mile, a black force field covered Li Wei.

"Li Wei, watch out!"

He waved his hand.

Within the black sword realm, tens of thousands of three-foot-long elemental sword energies emerged, crisscrossing each other.

Li Wei laughed heartily and exclaimed in admiration:

"Not bad spell."

An ordinary black staff appeared in his hand, and the veins on his arm bulged, overflowing with power.

The staff was swung into a full moon shape, and the strong wind blasted away and shattered all the elemental sword energy.

The crackling sounds were incessant.

Aenea struggled to maintain the Sword Realm, only to see Li Wei, like a giant dragon, tear open her domain and arrive before her in an instant.

"You've lost, Ania. It's very dangerous to be approached by a body-refining wizard."

Li Wei patted Aynia on the shoulder, turned and left with a flourish, leaving her still in a daze.

A moment later, Enia rallied and quietly left the training ground.

"No wonder my mother is always stingy with praise for my performance... With Li Wei's outstanding achievements as an example, my progress is really not worth mentioning."

The Snow Lotus Witch stared in awe at Li Wei's retreating figure.

"Wow...so strong! Not only is his physical body strong, but his magic is also exceptional."

She's not the kind of person who constantly proclaims herself a genius, but as a top genius, she's bound to be arrogant.

But compared to this person, she felt inexplicably insignificant.

……

Hut.

Wearing loose loungewear, with wavy hair cascading over her shoulders and revealing her fair collarbone, Triss looked at Levi in ​​front of her and joked:

"Gandalf, you're bullying my son again."

Li Weidao:

"Madam, please stop joking. I'm here to submit my previous assignment."

The woman took Li Wei's research findings, examined them carefully, and nodded from time to time. After reading them, she smiled mischievously and said:

"Well done, as expected of Gandalf."

Li Wei's face darkened; this joke was stuck in his head.

Seeing Levi's embarrassment, Triss stopped joking and said seriously:

"The main reason I called you here is to introduce you to a very important person."

Li Wei's heart stirred, and he asked:

"Who is this important person?"

Triss said:

"The president of the Endless Sea Alchemists' Association, a ninth-circle archmage and part-time alchemist, Aaron Blevins, whose title is [The Abyss Walker]..."

Li Wei couldn't help but show a hint of shock, and said:

"A great wizard? Madam, you're not joking, are you?"

This is the strongest being, second only to the eleven legendary wizards, a being standing at the pinnacle of civilization.

Triss said:

"No, oh, I forgot to tell you, Black Abyss Walker is also my teacher. I am the second to last student he took in, um... and apparently the weakest among the current students."

She covered her forehead, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Li Wei pondered in his heart.

The methods possessed by such a powerful figure as the Grand Wizard were beyond his imagination. He was worried that if he revealed any clues, the Grand Wizard would discover that he was Long Nie in disguise, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing Levi's hesitation, Triss comforted him:

"Actually, it's not that I want to take you to meet him, it's just that he's already noticed you... If you're worried about his character, there's no need to. I'll just say one thing: he's a student of the Deep Blue Sage. The Deep Blue Sage's character is evident to all; how could his judgment be flawed?"

Li Wei hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Madam, please allow me to think about it. I inevitably feel nervous meeting such an important person."

Triss said:

"I understand. When I first met the teacher, I was in a similar situation to you now. But I can introduce you to the teacher's new student, my junior sister. Although she is a seventh-circle wizard, she is much stronger than me."

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei said:

"OK."

It would be good to first learn about this big shot's students and investigate their character indirectly.

In truth, Li Wei knew that once he caught the attention of the Black Abyss Walker, it wouldn't matter whether he saw him or not.

He and the Black Abyss Walker were on completely different levels. Any scheming or petty plotting was pointless.

"Let's get going without delay."

Levi was pulled by Triss into her pink airship, where he transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into the witch's house.

On the airship.

Li Wei asked:

"Madam, how should I address your junior sister?"

Triss said:

"Her name is Lucy, and her title is 'The Fish of the North Sea.' She is a wizard who has risen to prominence in recent years and is said to be a survivor of the Great Crusade."

Li Wei murmured:

"Lucy... By the way, ma'am, the Blue Sage has really fallen, hasn't he? Even with the abilities of a legendary wizard, there was nothing he could do to save him?"

Triss sighed:

"Even gods can fall, let alone humans. According to the testimonies of the survivors of the Great Crusade, they encountered a terrifying alien race known as the 'Dark Insects' in the Dark Lands. To protect them and to save the Wizarding World, the Deep Blue Sage ventured alone into the Abyss Plane. They hid in the Deep Blue Demiplane until the demiplane collapsed, and then they inexplicably appeared in the Ancient Tower... All of this should be the final aftermath of the Deep Blue Sage's actions."

It's clear that the wizards of the Endless Sea hold the Deep Blue Sage in high esteem.

Li Wei was deeply shocked.

"There is such a terrifying alien race, enough to bring down a legendary wizard."

Triss said:

"While the wizarding civilization is indeed powerful, the multiverse is vast and boundless. Sauron always said that we must always maintain awe for the darkness, which is a warning to us not to become complacent because of our current strength... There are so many powerful planes in the Sauron panplanet alone, let alone the unexplored lands?"

Li Wei remembered the [Golden Alien Insect] that he had sealed away. He had already purified it, but he was busy with cultivation and hadn't yet studied how to use it.

I wonder what the connection is between those "Terror Bugs" that destroyed the Oser Empire and the so-called "Dark Bug Clan".

Putting aside these unfounded worries, Li Wei took the opportunity to ask:

"Madam, I need a breakthrough potion to break through to the Yuanhun realm in the future. I want to prepare in advance and be prepared for the worst... Could you please refine one for me? I am willing to pay the price."

Triss plays with flavor:

"So, Mr. Gandalf, what price are you willing to pay?"

Li Weidao:

"It depends on what the lady needs."

Triss rested her chin on her hand and looked at Levi, saying:

"Just kidding, don't always take it so seriously... Don't forget, I owe you a favor. I've agreed to this. By the way, do you have the potion formula?"

Li Wei shook his head helplessly.

Triss snapped her fingers, and a stone tablet appeared in front of Levi. She said.

"This is a sixth-ring potion recipe called 'The Mind Flayer's Innocent Fairy Tale.' It is the strongest breakthrough potion recipe I have mastered, which can increase the success rate of Yuan Soul by 23%. This is my private treasure, better than the potions in the Witch's House. Prepare the materials according to the recipe, and do not reveal it to anyone."

Li Wei sincerely thanked him:

"Thank you so much, madam. I will repay your kindness in the future!"

Now, he could not only get the woman's labor for free, but also a priceless potion formula. Even with his usually hard heart, he was deeply moved and almost teared up.

Triss smiled meaningfully:

"I hope you remember the promise you made today... I have a deep loathing for men who don't keep their promises."

Back in his room, Li Wei opened the potion formula and glanced at it briefly.

"Level 6 Mind-Stealing Demon Brain, Seven-Day Resurrection Grass, Level 5 or Higher Shadow Demon Crystal Core, Yin Soul Wood, Nether Heart Fruit, Death Soul Jujube..."

The materials were densely packed, and after reading them, Li Wei's face lit up with joy.

"Ninety percent of these materials are things I already had."

Seven-Day Resurrection Grass: Twenty years ago, he transplanted a four-leaf clover into the Wind Disaster Secret Realm.

According to Li Wei's estimate, with the addition of fertilizer, it will take about fifty years for it to grow into a horse chestnut.

He has Shadow Demon Core and Dead Soul Dates, needless to say.

He also obtained herbs such as the Heart-Cleansing Fruit from the rings of the Blood Feast King and Roman.

If it weren't for the Dark Ancient Tower, it would have been virtually impossible for someone of Li Wei's status to gather all these rare items.

For him, the only thing that was hard to find was the main ingredient, the Level 6 Mind-Stealing Demon's Brain.

"Let's try searching through auctions first. If that doesn't work, I'll swallow my pride and go to Ms. Triss. She'll definitely have a solution... If all else fails, I still have Gilmore as a spy."

Li Wei felt relieved.

This Mind-Stealing Potion boasts a success rate as high as 23%, making it exceptionally powerful among Soul Breakthrough Potions.

Keep in mind that a potion with a yield of over ten percent is already considered excellent.

Not long after.

The airship stopped, and Li Wei looked and saw that it was actually the Tower of Sword Flowers.

Li Wei was puzzled.

"Madam, isn't this Elena's house?"

Triss said:

"I'm taking Elena with me. You're not the only junior who's caught the attention of the Black Abyss Walker... Elena was already being watched by our teacher before she even advanced to the Yuan Soul stage."

Li Wei suddenly realized.

No wonder the Knights of Flowers were so high-profile in the Endless Sea, yet they were able to get away with it peacefully.

So, behind them is not only the top-tier wizarding organization, the House of Witches, but also a living great wizard.

Who the hell would dare mess with this?

At this moment, Li Wei, this old recluse who had lived a secluded life for over two hundred years, finally witnessed the world of geniuses.

Aren't you getting off the ship?

Triss asked.

Li Wei shook his head.

"I'm not going down."

The Sword Flower Tower was too noisy... He could hear the chattering from a great distance, as if he had entered the Spider Cave.

Not long after.

Elena arrived, and upon seeing Levi, she smiled knowingly.

"I thought you weren't going."

Li Wei laughed:

"With you and Ms. Triss here, I'm not afraid."

……

Sea of ​​Stars.

The secret realm of the North Sea.

This is Lucy's dojo, a large secret realm of Nora, whose size is comparable to that of a typical medium-sized plane.

The ocean is boundless, and countless sea creatures roam within it.

On the airship.

Li Wei curiously observed, feeling the extremely rich water elemental power, and he was deeply shocked:

"Even better than my Ancient Banyan Wonderland, is this the world of the strong?"

Not long after.

The airship landed on a small island.

On the shore, a quirky-looking blue-haired witch stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

She laughed:

"Welcome to the Secret Realm of Beihai."

Triss and Elena both said with respect:

"I apologize for bothering you, Ms. Lucy."

Lucy said:

"I won't disturb you. I'm cultivating alone, and it's quite lonely."

Her gaze was fixed on Li Wei without any attempt to conceal it, as if she wanted to see right through him.

Li Weidao:

"Junior Li Wei greets Senior Lucy."

Lucy smiled and said:

"Just call me Ms. Lucy."

Li Wei nodded obediently.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen level seven beings before; the Supreme God of Law was also considered level seven. In addition, he had occasionally seen level seven beings passing by in the Witch's House.

But for some reason, none of them gave Li Wei the same special feeling as the blue-haired girl in front of him.

To ease the awkward atmosphere, Lucy hosted a small tea party with her guests, where they chatted while enjoying snacks.

Although Lucy is a powerful figure, she is very gentle and makes people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze.

Li Wei listened silently and learned a lot about the Black Abyss Walker.

Triss and Elena also tried their best to speak well of Levi to Lucy, which warmed Levi's heart. It seemed they genuinely wanted to recommend him to the important figure.

After the tea party, Lucy took out three adorable gift boxes and said:

"These are some small gifts that I, as your senior, have prepared for you."

The three were filled with trepidation and said in unison:

Thank you, ma'am!

After saying goodbye to Lucy, the airship disappeared into the North Sea's hidden realm.

Lucy gazed into the distance, lost in thought.

A deep blue sphere appeared before Lucy, projecting the image of a middle-aged wizard in black robes, with a stern face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes. He asked:

"Teacher, what do you think of this person?"

Lucy said:

"Very good... but Aaron, you should still call me Lucy from now on. You're my teacher now, don't forget."

This black-robed wizard was none other than the great wizard Black Abyss Walker.

Aaron smiled wryly:

"I'm used to it."

Lucy said:

"Keep an eye on him from now on. I'll be counting on you until I reach the Legendary level again... By the way, you're now at the peak of the ninth ring. When can you advance to Legendary? The Ocean School only has [The Lost One of the Vast Ocean], and it can't support the whole school alone."

Aaron said:

"My path to legend still requires me to hunt down seven more Abyss Overlords and forge the legendary artifact, the Seven Deadly Sins. The great inter-plane convergence is intensifying, and in the near future, the day I reach the pinnacle of the bloody battle with the Abyss will be the day I prove my legend."
