Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 381: The exchange of demonic brains brings joy to all, and another divine fruit is obtained on the Day of the Dead! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

The endless sea.

Inner Ring Road, Zone 1.

The sudden terrorist attack threw the city into chaos.

On the ruins, figures gathered to watch.

"What... what happened to the Fire Dragon Shop?"

"Someone is trying to assassinate Master Fire Dragon!"

"Who is so despicable and shameless? My order isn't even finished yet! If you kill the master, who will make the witchcraft artifacts for me?"

"Who is this white-robed wizard? I just saw him catch the assassin's secret sword with his bare hands and crush it..."

……

On the ruins.

The bone sword just now unlocked Li Wei's long-sealed memories.

he knows.

Following the previous auction at Neptune City, the mysterious organization that attempted to assassinate the auctioneers has returned once again.

Moreover, this time, they seem to have set their sights on the Fire Dragon Master, Alyssandra, and other geniuses on the Ancient Tower Rankings.

Li Wei sighed inwardly:

"These people have become shrewd, using the Flying Sword Technique to kill. If they succeed, great; if they fail, they can escape quickly. It's all my fault for providing the wizarding world with a new approach."

Furthermore, the fall of the Storm Wizard and the assassination of the Holy Infant seem to be more complex than they appear.

Li Wei squinted, gazing thoughtfully at the Schubert House…

the other side.

Once Alyssadian and Ashe were sure they were safe, they canceled the teleportation.

They saw the wound on the white-robed wizard's palm, which was visibly healing.

To catch a secret sword with bare hands—that's terrifying!

The Holy Infant looked at the destroyed Fire Dragon Shop with a pained expression.

He smiled wryly:

"Sigh, it seems business is so good that it's attracting unwanted attention."

Alexandra asked:

"Has the master been assassinated using similar methods before?"

The Holy Infant shook his head:

"No, this is the first time this has happened."

Ashe seemed to know something about the situation; she said:

"This method is somewhat similar to that mysterious organization that roams the Dark Lands... The terrorist attacks that occurred in the Endless Sea and the Realm of Spirits were all carried out by them, but so far, no one knows the true nature of this organization. Their members are highly trained, and each of them has powerful restrictions on them, so even if they are captured alive, you can't get anything out of them."

The Holy Infant sighed:

"Alright, let's close down for a while. We need to figure out who's trying to assassinate us. Since the birth of the Flying Swordsmanship, assassinations in the wizarding world have increased significantly... The school created by Master Victor is a double-edged sword."

Alexandra said:

"So, not mastering a secret sword technique will definitely put you at a disadvantage in the coming era. Master, why don't you come back to the Dragonborn Hermitage with us sisters? Didn't I say I'd introduce you to someone last time? Hehehe."

Alexiandra is an optimist. Having just been attacked, she now starts teasing the stern-faced Holy Infant.

Ashe pinched Alyssa Draco's armpit and said:

"The master has already said that he has no interest in this matter for the time being, so why are you still bringing it up?"

Alexandra muttered:

"Just kidding, how could I possibly hand over the mastery to those arrogant and incompetent fools?"

The two women glanced at Li Wei from time to time.

The Holy Infant is fortunate to have such a powerful body-refining wizard as his bodyguard.

This made them even more curious about the true identity of the Fire Dragon Master.

the other side.

Master Fire Dragon and his "bodyguard" seem to be discussing something.

The two women waited quietly.

Soon, the white-robed wizard hurriedly left.

With the departure of the sixth-ring wizard, the atmosphere at the scene finally relaxed considerably.

Alexandra exhaled and asked:

"Master, this senior is incredibly skilled! He shattered the Six-Ring Secret Sword with his bare hands—that was so cool! Is he your... bodyguard?"

The Holy Infant was taken aback, then chuckled softly:

"You two have misunderstood. He is not my guard, but a friend. He just happened to be passing by and came to visit me. I never expected to encounter such a misfortune."

Alexandra said:

"This senior must also be a descendant of dragons, right? I sensed a dragon's might emanating from him."

Ashe's doubts:

"Why didn't I feel anything?"

Alexandra pointed to her forehead and said:

"I have a treasure bestowed upon me by my father, so of course I can. This senior's aura is restrained and pure. Even a Yuanhun-level dragon-born wizard might not be able to detect this dragon's might."

The Holy Infant laughed:

"It seems the Queen's father was an extraordinary figure; my friend is indeed a descendant of the dragon."

A slight thought stirred within him.

Judging from Alyssandra's actions along the way, there must be a powerful figure behind her, but they don't say it, and the Holy Infant doesn't inquire about it either.

Alexander and Ashe asked in unison:

"Master, does your friend want to join the Dragonborn Order?"

Holy Infant Path:

"My friend is a loner and doesn't like joining organizations. Never mind him. Now that I've taken your fees, I'm going to teach you all."

……

Much later.

I've heard there's been a terrorist attack of level six on the continent of Aize.

The enforcers of the Tower of Stars arrived late; one of them was a sixth-circle wizard.

She wore a relatively form-fitting star-studded uniform, was slender, had a curvaceous figure, and wore a Catwoman mask.

She wore the emblem of the Witch's House on her chest, and walked with a breezy, cat-like gait.

Serena the Cat Witch.

A senior agent of the Tower of Stars, one of the thirteen witches publicly known in the House of Witches, she is about the same age as Triss and her strength is close to the sixth ring of perfection.

She gazed at the crime scene, while her assistant picked up a specialized detection device, seemingly investigating something.

At this moment, Mia was dealing with the aftermath of the Fire Dragon Shop.

The cat witch asked:

"Where is Master Fire Dragon?"

Mia said:

"The master has temporarily left to prevent the assassins from returning."

The Cat Witch pursed her lips, her nostrils flared as she sniffed like a cat, and a green light appeared in her eyes.

"The attackers used a secret sword, right?"

Mia nodded:

"Yes."

Not long after.

The assistants began to reconstruct the information they had collected, and the Cat Witch even brought out a mirror-shaped magical artifact.

The mirror reflects the scene that happened today.

This is the "Mirror of the Past," a treasure that only senior agents of the council have the authority to access.

It can only be activated in cases involving Yuanhun (a type of spirit or soul).

This mirror can partially rewind past events in a small area, up to a maximum of seven days.

However, if the opponent's cultivation level is too high, exceeding that of the user of the [Mirror of the Past], or if they have corresponding counter-surveillance methods, it will also fail.

Generally speaking, to interfere with the mirror's rewinding, one either needs to possess a powerful artifact or have profound astrological magic.

These two things are impossible for an ordinary sixth-circle wizard to do.

The scene quickly returns to the moment before Master Fire Dragon was assassinated.

The Cat Witch expanded the mirror's field of vision as much as possible, and at the edge of the final image, a figure in a grey robe could be vaguely seen.

"It's that organization again... I knew it! These people are truly audacious, daring to attack a genius from the wizarding civilization. This is absolutely not over!"

The Cat Witch snorted and continued reading.

on the screen.

A flash of gray light, and in the next moment, it had already pierced Master Fire Dragon.

However, the master, adorned with extraordinary treasures, blocked the attack.

The Cat Witch's monologue:

"With Master Fire Dragon's strength, he must have gained a lot in the ancient tower. If it weren't for this treasure protecting him, he would be dead here today."

The Cat Witch was not surprised to see that Alyssandra had also blocked the Secret Sword attack.

Some of their higher-ups knew that Alexandra had powerful backers.

That important figure was her father, a fully-fledged pure-blooded dragon in his prime.

Finally, she saw a figure in white robes descend from the void and block the path of the secret sword with his hand.

After the secret sword pierced through his body, it became stuck in his hand, rendering him unable to move.

At this moment, even the Cat Witch felt pain.

"Who is this ruthless person? Catching a secret sword with bare hands... Even a body-refining wizard can't do this, can they?"

The next moment, something even more surprising happened.

Golden ripples swept across the figure's palm, shattering the secret sword instantly.

"This golden power is so strong!"

The cat witch frowned.

"This person's strength is extraordinary."

Unfortunately, in the flashback, this person appeared and was carrying her on his back the whole time.

The cat witch murmured:

"Turn around..."

Finally, when he turned around, I could finally see his face.

The surface of the "Mirror of the Past" begins to flicker, like a television set with no signal, with static filling the screen.

"Damn it, how could this happen?"

The Cat Witch cursed inwardly.

This damn mirror has crashed again.

"When in doubt, restart."

She restarted the mirror.

The mirror turned back.

Then, when the person turned around... there was no signal again.

The cat witch, defying superstition, married three times.

It remains the same.

At this moment, she realized that it wasn't the strange treasure that was the problem... it was that person.

That person possessed some kind of extraordinary artifact that prevented regression, or some kind of astrological secret technique.

"Let's try one last time."

Cats are very curious animals, and so are cat witches.

Like a restless cat, she restarted the mirror once more, fast-forwarding to the moment when the white-robed wizard turned around.

"Click."

A crisp sound of the mirror shattering rang out.

The cat witch's expression shifted from resentment to shock.

She murmured:

"A person whose past cannot be reversed..."

She was no longer curious; all she needed to know was that it was that mysterious organization that had done the bad thing.

As for the white-robed wizard who shattered the secret sword with his bare hands, he was beyond her comprehension.

There must be a powerful figure behind him, otherwise he wouldn't have suffered such a backlash against the [Past Realm].

The important person she was referring to was not the Yuanhun Wizard.

Rather, they are beings of the ninth level, like Alysandre's father, or even... legendary wizards!

Think about this.

The Cat Witch, like a nimble black cat, leaped into the void and vanished.

"Huh? The Mirror of the Past is broken. The Tower of Stars isn't going to make me pay for it, is it? This is official business, meow..."

……

The endless sea.

Somewhere on the seabed.

The figure of the gray-robed wizard who assassinated the Fire Dragon Master appeared.

He sat cross-legged, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his breath weakened.

"Damn it, my Horcrux!"

The secret sword that Li Wei considered trash was actually used by him as a Soul Weapon...

This is the diversity of the world.

In fact, his soul weapon is a six-ringed secret sword uniformly forged by the organization.

Since the emergence of the Flying Heaven Secret Sword Style, the organization has discovered a shortcut suitable for assassination.

They only need to travel tens or even hundreds of miles to take someone's head, and they can eliminate their target without anyone noticing.

If they fail, their identities are usually not exposed, and they are unlikely to be caught by law enforcement officers from various academic factions.

The attrition rate of organization members was also reduced to a minimum.

Over the past century, the organization, led by its top brass, established a dedicated research group for the "Flying Secret Sword Style," which pioneered the popularization of this spell among the organization's elemental spirits and fifth-ring wizards.

The grey-robed wizard was one of the beneficiaries.

In fact, he hadn't been at the Yuanhun level for very long.

With his potential, it wouldn't be easy for him to obtain a Yuan Soul without the organization's cultivation.

Now that his Horcrux has been destroyed, his spiritual power has been severely damaged, and it will be difficult to repair it in less than several hundred years.

He chanted a spell, and ripples appeared in the void, reflecting a figure within them.

The figure sat upright before a decaying, crumbling structure, its body covered in venomous snakes.

"What do you want with me? Twenty-three."

"Twenty-three" is the code name for the gray-robed wizard.

He was the twenty-third assassin trained by the organization to master the Flying Sky Secret Sword Style.

The grey-robed wizard, with a respectful expression, said somewhat hesitantly:

"Snake Master... I have failed."

Upon hearing this, the figure opposite him showed no surprise and said:

"I understand. I was just testing you. You haven't been at the sixth level for long. A genius like Master Fire Dragon may seem like a rogue cultivator, but he must have a powerful figure backing him up... Your whereabouts haven't been exposed, have they? Why do you look so listless?"

The grey-robed wizard said:

"I am currently safe and sound. I missed my attack and fled thousands of miles away. I encountered a powerful expert. He... he actually crushed my soul weapon with his bare hands! My mental strength is damaged, and my combat power has plummeted in a short period of time."

The snake envoy frowned and said:

"Your Horcrux may be a standard organizational weapon, not a premium one, but it shouldn't have been crushed by someone's bare hands, right? How strong was that person?"

The grey-robed wizard said:

"He should be a sixth-ring ordinary body-refining wizard."

The serpent envoy pondered:

"Could they be from the Abyss Alliance? I'll ask the [Wanderers] over there to see if there's anyone who fits the bill. Don't go assassinating Master Fire Dragon for now. I'll arrange a new magical artifact for you. Once you've mastered it and your strength has recovered enough, then go to Middle-earth to assassinate Gandalf."

The gray-robed wizard was somewhat traumatized upon hearing this.

"What if Gandalf also had a level six magical artifact protecting him? There must be a powerful figure from the wizarding world behind him."

The Serpent Messenger said:

"There's no rush, and someone will cooperate with you later. If the two of you [Wanderers] can't even kill a fifth-ring wizard, don't ever say you're from my [Komodo Serpent]."

Within the organization, there is a strict hierarchy; those at level six can be called "Travelers," and only those at level seven can be called "Messengers."

The Serpent of Komodo is a powerful level seven being and the ruler of a medium-sized plane.

The grey-robed wizard quickly said:

"Rest assured, Serpent Envoy, I will definitely complete this mission."

After turning off the communication, the gray-robed wizard looked worried.

"These fifth-ring wizards cannot be measured by ordinary standards... each one of them is covered in top-grade magical artifacts or rare treasures."

……

Sea of ​​Stars.

On a beautiful island filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, three figures descended upon the place.

It was the two women and the Holy Infant.

Alexandra laughed:

"This is a private island I purchased earlier. It's extremely convenient to go to the Tower of Stars or the Twelve Witch Cities... I doubt that assassin would dare to come here again. Master, let's have our lesson here from now on."

Aisha's expression was cool, but her heart was filled with anticipation.

"With the guidance of a master, mastering the ninth talent is just around the corner."

The Holy Infant sighed:

"The Queen is truly a wealthy woman. Island like this is not cheap. Every inch of land in the Starry Sea is worth its weight in gold. I wouldn't even be willing to buy it."

Alexandra rolled her eyes and said:

"Master is being modest again; you are much richer than me."

Ash said:

"Without further ado, let's begin the lesson."

The Holy Infant nodded.

The three of them set up two shelters in this area.

Two women share one room, and the Holy Infant shares another.

After setting up their respective magic arrays, they began their cultivation journey.

Next, the Holy Infant will continue fulfilling previous orders for manufacturing equipment.

On one hand, he personally taught the two women how to "control the sword".

With Alyssa Draco, this optimistic and funny woman, around.

A solitary island in the sea offers endless joy.

……

The Witch's House.

Dressed in a white robe and looking quite energetic, Li Wei arrived at the witch's shop.

Celia, sensing the vast, ocean-like spiritual power, asked:

"Senior Li Wei? Have you activated your Yuan Soul?"

Li Wei laughed:

"It's still early."

Celia grunted in disbelief.

"When you're about to have your Yuan Soul awakened, don't forget to invite Celia to the Yuan Soul Ceremony! I love a lively atmosphere, and with your talent, I reckon it won't be long."

Li Wei said helplessly:

"What's so special about me? The Flower Witch reached the Yuanhun realm at three hundred years old."

Celia said:

"Senior, there's no need to belittle yourself. I feel you're no less capable than Senior Elena. By the way, I recently heard about a large auction, and it seems they have items that Senior might need."

Li Wei's face lit up with joy. He took the information from Celia and patted her on the shoulder.

"Keep it up, Celia, I wish you all the best in getting the Fifth Ring Road soon."

Watching Li Wei disappear.

Celia touched her shoulder, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.

"You really know how to comfort people."

on the square.

Li Wei absorbed the intelligence.

"One year later, in the Hellish Realm, in the Howling Wilds, the Day of the Dead extravaganza, the Giant's Tavern Auction..."

Li Wei smiled.

"I currently have nearly 4 million NT dollars, which should be enough to buy it."

While Yuanhun Wizards are wealthy, their expenses are also high.

Many sixth-ring wizards may not have as much cash flow as Levi.

Li Wei collected more resources than he could use inside the ancient tower, so he could store up all the precious stones and hoard them like a hoarding rat.

"I'm level six now, so I can sell that sixth-ring staff on the black market for cash in case I don't have enough money at the auction."

On the magic tree.

The Fairy Banyan Dragon is sleeping.

After advancing to level six, Li Wei discovered even more of Lady Ezosera's power.

"The path of the primordial spirit is still a long and arduous one."

Triss's Cottage.

Li Wei knocked gently on the door, thinking about how to explain.

"Slap, slap, slap..."

Upon hearing the voice, Li Wei was puzzled.

"Why does it feel like someone is cracking a whip inside?"

The door opened gently, and Triss, arms crossed, leaned back on the sofa, a whip in her hand.

She laughed:

"Is he in seclusion again?"

Li Wei quickly replied:

"Yes, ma'am."

Triss asked suspiciously:

"It's a Yuanhun?"

Li Wei shook his head.

"I haven't even had a lady concoct a potion yet, how could I possibly advance to the Yuan Soul level?"

Triss wore black stockings and a pharmacist's uniform, buttoned up, highlighting her stunning figure.

The demonic dragon whip transformed into a belt, which was tied around Yingying's slender waist.

She was suspicious.

Li Wei, standing before them, did indeed exude an aura of a level six expert.

After thinking for a moment, she said seriously:

"The path of wizards is the right path for us. Don't go astray in your pursuit of rapid power."

Li Wei thanked him:

"I understand... Don't worry, the students know what to do!"

Triss probably suspected that she had practiced some forbidden technique, after all, her current aura was at the sixth level.

Triss asked:

"Has the Mind Flayer's brain been found?"

Li Wei was somewhat troubled.

"I might need to trouble you, ma'am, to provide me with a clue, as I really can't find it. Don't worry, ma'am, this clue comes at a separate price, which I will pay separately."

Triss plays with flavor:

"What price will you pay?"

Li Wei thought about it carefully and said:

"I'd say I'm relatively wealthy?"

He spoke without much confidence.

After all, Triss looks like a rich woman and is probably not short of money.

Or rather, she is short of money, but it's not all she has.

Triss found Levi's embarrassment somewhat amusing.

She looked smug, snapped her fingers, and a glass jar appeared in her hand.

A still-beating brain shimmered with a purple glow.

"Tsk tsk tsk, think about it again. What could possibly be worth this price?"

Li Wei was startled.

"Level 6 Mind-Stealing Demon Brain"

Triss nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right, I got it by chance. Don't overthink it, I didn't specifically look for it for you."

Li Wei was taken aback for a moment, then whispered:

"Madam...actually, I didn't think too much about that aspect."

Triss was a little unhappy, and she asked in return:

"Please, I'm your teacher, after all. In your heart, am I the kind of woman who doesn't care about her juniors?"

Li Wei scolded himself for being too talkative.

"No, I... I'm just simple-minded."

This amused Triss.

"If you are simple-minded, then Aenea is innocent and naive."

Li Wei asked himself:

"Isn't that right?"

Triss no longer antagonizes Nari and Levi.

She snorted, subtly expressing her displeasure, and said:

"Here you go, I need you to do something for me."

Li Weidao:

"Please speak, ma'am. What the student can do, they will certainly do!"

Just kidding, the Mind Flayer's brain, that's really hard to find.

We must get this from Triss!

If it were during the Abyss Blood War, it would be fine, as demons would come and deliver themselves.

Even in this peaceful era, there are level six Mind Flayers in the Wizarding World.

Given the Mind Devil's ability to conceal itself, he really wouldn't be able to find it in a short time.

Triss patted the sofa, gesturing for Levi to sit down and talk.

Levi sat next to Triss, upright with his hands on his knees.

Triss glanced at it and laughed:

"You know Master Fire Dragon, right?"

Li Wei said:

"I know him, he's my friend."

His friendship with Master Fire Dragon is hardly a secret.

He also occasionally visits the Fire Dragon Shop, and the Knight of Flowers is even a shareholder of the Fire Dragon Shop.

It's normal that Triss found out about this.

Triss said:

"I heard from a friend in the Realm of Sleeping Dragons that the Fire Dragon Master and the Red Dragon Queen have a good relationship?"

Li Wei recalled with an expression:

"It seems pretty good."

Triss said:

"Could you ask Master Fire Dragon to go to the Red Dragon Queen and get a [Dragon Grass] from the Dragonborn Hermitage? In your name, I will pay the corresponding price... I am a Soul Wizard, after all, it would be a bit embarrassing for me to personally get involved."

Triss believes that the most likely person to possess the Dragon Grass is Alyssandra's father.

Li Wei's heart stirred.

"Dragon Grass? I have it, why should I ask someone else for it?"

Seeing that Levi remained silent, Triss sighed:

"If it doesn't work out, then forget it. I doubt your relationship with Master Fire Dragon is that good."

But then Li Wei silently took out a black dragon-like herb from his ring and asked:

"Is this magic dragon grass?"

Triss's expression was quite interesting; she stared at Levi with some surprise.

"May I ask where you got this?"

Li Wei thought for a moment and said:

"Some kind of eerie place."

Triss said:

"Dragon Ruins: A Mysterious Realm?"

Li Wei's expression changed slightly, and he asked:

"How did you know, ma'am?"

Triss found it amusing and gently patted Levi on the shoulder.

"So you can go, but I can't? I never expected we'd both enter the same secret realm at the same time and not even meet each other. Did you get this magic herb from a six-armed wizard?"

Li Wei shook his head and said:

"No, I found it."

Triss was highly skeptical.

However, she didn't ask any further questions. As long as it was Demon Dragon Grass, that was enough. How she obtained it was not important.

She laughed:

"Then our deal is done. I'll trade a seventh-ring herb for a mid-level sixth-tier Mind Flayer's Brain. I'll benefit slightly. But since I'm your teacher, you don't mind, do you?"

Li Wei laughed:

"Everyone's happy, of course I don't mind. In terms of difficulty of collection, the Mind Flayer's brain is much more difficult to obtain."

Triss took the dragon whip, which she was using as a belt, from her waist and swung it around, making a crackling sound.

"How's this whip?"

Li Wei commented:

"The material is extraordinary; in my limited opinion, it should be a remarkable treasure."

Triss said smugly:

"An eighth-level rare treasure, obtained from the Dragon Ruins Mysterious Realm. How's my luck?"

Li Wei was startled and inwardly envious.

It turned out to be a rare level eight treasure.

He cultivated for three hundred years, yet he only possessed one level ten treasure, four level nine treasures, and one peak level eight treasure... nothing more!

He revealed a genuine expression of envy and sighed:

"The lady is so lucky; I, the student, am ashamed of my own luck."

Triss said:

"Stop pretending, you definitely have a lot of treasures on you."

Li Wei smiled.

Triss said:

"Have you prepared all the other materials? While I have some time now, let me finish concocting the Mind Flayer potion for you. I'm going into seclusion for a long time. When I come out, your teacher will be a seventh-circle wizard. As his student, you'll definitely have a lot of prestige, hehe."

Li Weidao:

"Everything is complete. Best wishes to you, ma'am, for continued success!"

He gave all the materials for the crafting process to Triss.

Triss kicked Levi out of her hut, saying she needed to bathe before making potions.

Li Wei went to the witch's shop but found nothing.

They then went to Hades City to visit the "innocent" Aenea.

This kid is now a senior wizard in the Fifth Ring.

Although his speed was a little slower than his own when he was using cheat codes.

But looking at the wizarding world, a 300-year-old fifth-ring veteran is quite impressive.

With steady and solid progress, the potential for a powerful spirit is promising.

Ania watched Levi's retreating figure, dejected.

"Why? I'm clearly a Senior Fifth Ring cultivator... yet Lord Li Wei's cultivation is still a notch above mine. I guess I haven't been working hard enough! I'll have to reduce my daily walks and chats with Sera; hopefully she won't be angry?"

a few days later.

Levi returned to Triss's cabin.

The woman opened a small medicine box, inside which were a row of four dreamlike purple potions.

He and his two clones each had one, and there was one spare.

She joked:

"So, given your personality, aren't you worried that I might poison you, my student, and try to take advantage of you?"

Li Wei laughed:

"My little bit of luck wouldn't be enough for a lady like you... Besides, I've known you since the Third Ring Road era, and I have complete faith in your character. You're not only beautiful inside and out!"

Triss said smugly:

"I like to hear nice things, say a few more."

Li Wei laughed, put away the potion, and turned to leave.

"Farewell, madam. I, Li Wei, will repay your kindness in the future!"

Triss laughed and scolded:

"Always later, later... when exactly is 'later'? You brat, there's no time like the present, why don't you report it today?"

Li Wei has long since disappeared.

Triss was overcome with drowsiness.

Although the Sixth Ring Breakthrough Potion is difficult to refine, it shouldn't have caused Triss such mental exhaustion.

A few days ago, she consulted Ms. Lucy and asked her to help improve "The Mind Flayer's Innocent Fairy Tale".

After the improvements, the difficulty of refining this potion is now top-tier even among those in the sixth ring.

However, its success rate has also increased from 23% to 25%.

During this period, she even added some rare materials.

For the Soul Elixir, increasing the success rate by even 1% is incredibly difficult.

She went to the bathroom and lit the aromatherapy to help restore her mental energy.

The pool was filled with a potion full of pink petals. Triss lay comfortably in the water, stretched out her body, and fell into a deep sleep.

"This kid is definitely capable of forming a primordial spirit."

……

one year later.

The year 1304 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of wheat fields.

Over the past year, Li Wei has focused on researching the ninth talent, hoping to create a satisfactory Spirit Awakening Spell, which will take a long time.

Some time ago, I also maxed out the eighth talent, Shadow Dragon.

And things like [Gathering Yang Transformation] and [Thunder Tiger] are also perfected.

He has completed all the homework on spells except for the ninth talent.

Since the completion of the 50th level of the Ultimate Soul, the difficulty of condensing it has increased further.

More than ten years have passed since Li Wei achieved spiritual perfection, and he has only completed three stages.

Of course, this was also because less time was allocated to refining the Golden Snake Breathing Technique during this period.

Since the Holy Infant was assassinated, the enemy has not made another move, it seems they have given up for the time being.

Considering that the mysterious organization might also target other geniuses from the ancient tower.

Li Wei then instructed Gandalf to lie low for a while and hand over the management of the pharmacy to someone else.

Gandalf has now mastered the Eight-Armed Demon God Body Refinement Technique to the fifth level, but reaching the sixth level, the Five Realms, will take some time.

now.

With the Black Lotus Beast's cultivation level stabilized, Li Wei began to extract sixth-level blood essence for his cultivation.

This meant that the Crimson Emperor Dragon's cultivation speed was not far from perfection.

The Crimson Emperor Dragon was already powerful enough, and Li Wei didn't want to waste time searching for evolution materials. He'd proceed directly to level six, and then worry about that later. Of course, if an evolution opportunity arose, Li Wei wouldn't let it pass him by.

Golden Light Cave.

The first Earth-level artifact within the Sword of Victory, the Sword of the Common People, has been formed in less than a century.

After careful consideration, Li Wei did not choose to wait nine hundred years for the [Knight's Sword] to advance. Instead, he used a wizard's refining method to refine this wondrous object.

After refining, both mental strength and the upper limit of mental strength increased by 10 points, which was an unexpected surprise.

My current mental strength cap has reached 1750 points, only 250 points away from the 2000-point minimum for my elemental soul.

This wondrous item further enhanced Li Wei's metal talent, [Golden Dragon Break].

Aside from that, it has no other functions.

If this strange object were refined using the methods of the world where Arthur lived, it would produce completely different effects than those of a wizard.

As a practitioner of both wizardry and knighthood, Li Wei wanted to see if he could refine the [Sword of the Dustmen] again using the ASICS method once more a wondrous artifact was created in the future.

……

The North Wind Moon.

Hellish Realm.

The desolate wilderness wailes.

Day of the Dead.

It is said that on this night, the spirits of the dead who sleep in the desolate graves and deep forests will crawl out.

Not only that, the legendary "Gates of Hell" will also open, and a torrent of undead will pour out.

For other schools of thought, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons was the end of the world.

For the school of death studies, this is a holiday.

Li Wei also took this opportunity to capture more powerful undead and place them in the Necronomicon, replacing the lower-ranking ones.

The howling wilderness in the middle.

An ancient battlefield.

This place was one of the core areas of the ancient war between the wizarding civilization and the hellish plane, and it is shrouded in yin energy year-round.

Weak undead are everywhere.

A group of death wizards dressed in sorcerer's robes and wearing necromancer masks hid among the ghosts and danced with them.

Here, you can see wizards and the dead drinking, playing rock-paper-scissors, and even having sex... or wizards fighting each other, and every now and then a moving eyeball or arm will fall from the sky.

This is carnival, with no rules, no constraints, and it's only for one day.

Inside a bar built with giant skulls.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Dressed in a black robe and wearing a ghost mask, Li Wei drank alone.

Tonight, a high-level gathering of wizards will be held here. Those who can participate are all from the fifth ring or above.

Li Wei surveyed his surroundings, based on his perception.

At least five sixth-ring wizards are hiding in this small bar.

"It seems they've all come for the Divine Fruit again. This thing is really highly sought after. It's just a pity... the Divine Fruit can't be cultivated artificially, otherwise we should try to find a way to transplant it into the Ancient Saint Plane."

Li Wei recalled the last dragon bone gathering.

"Blood Demon, Black Stripe, Poisonous Demon, Banshee of Pain... I wonder how these gentlemen are doing these days? Once I've achieved the Yuanhun level in my wizardry, I might go and pay them a visit. At the very least, the Blood Demon wizard who directly attacked me must be taught a lesson."

The Blood Demon Wizard was on Li Wei's kill list.

The other three could be killed or spared, since they did not directly attack him.

Even with his current strength, Li Wei wouldn't dare to kill a Yuanhun Wizard in the Wizarding World.

Parliament will certainly investigate this.

Of course, in places like the haunted realm or outside the wizarding world, where life and death are uncertain and the law has little reach, it doesn't matter.

After several rounds of drinks...

In the center of the stage, a group of pink, skeletal "skinny beauties" danced a daring and unconventional dance, their bones seemingly about to fall apart.

A gaunt wizard wearing a top hat walked in and began the auction without hesitation.

Li Wei was in high spirits. Before coming here, he had already sold the Sixth Ring Staff on the black market and earned another 60 million.

now.

His net worth is 4.5 million.

With so many, obtaining the Divine Fruit is practically a sure thing.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, one item after another was sold at auction. These were rare and unusual items from the School of Death, and Li Wei's eyes were certainly opened to new possibilities.

Finally, the Parasitic Fruit takes the stage.

The starting bid for this item is 100 million taels of silver, and each bid must be at least 1 million taels higher.

Right from the start, a hoarse voice came from the corner.

"1.5 million!"

He inadvertently revealed a trace of his primordial spirit's majesty, which intimidated the entire audience.

Immediately, several equally ordinary auras from the sixth ring clashed with it.

Li Wei had no intention of getting involved in this confrontation; he was rich and had no need to use his power to intimidate others.

He spoke calmly:

"2 million!"

As Li Wei spoke, he could feel the undead masks converging on him.

His current spiritual power is not far from that of a primordial soul. It can only be said that he has not undergone a transformation, so its quality is very poor.

However, he himself also possessed the cultivation level of a sixth-level knight, so he could also exude a faint sixth-level aura.

Furthermore, the hermit runes concealed his presence, making his aura appear and disappear intermittently.

It can also create the illusion that a level six powerhouse is pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

Upon seeing that Li Wei was also a sixth-ring cultivator, those prying gazes instantly receded.

But two pairs of eyes were still staring at Li Wei with a sinister look.

One of them, wearing a red demon mask, was the Yuanhun Wizard who had initially made the bid.

The other one wore a goat-headed devil mask, with flames shooting from his eye sockets. He muttered to himself:

"The Day of the Dead is a day without taboos. It's been a long time since we've seen blood. Hehehe."

The threatening intent in his words was quite obvious.

Li Wei disagreed.

Indeed, there are no taboos on the Day of the Dead.

But he's no pushover now.

The bidding continued.

In the end, Li Wei unsurprisingly acquired the Divine Fruit for 2.5 million Tai Shi.

It's much cheaper than last time.

It's clear that these wizards here are not as wealthy as they were last time.

Having received the Divine Fruit and paid the money, Li Wei hurriedly left the tavern, his figure flashing as he stepped into the void.

The red demon and the devil-masked wizard exchanged a glance and gave chase.

Li Wei found it amusing.

These people couldn't hold back any longer, even before they left the venue for the grand celebration?

Rumble.

In the void, long, thin black hounds chased after Li Wei.

This is the Void Hound, which excels at chasing enemies in the void.

Clearly, these people came prepared. They never intended to buy the Divine Fruit through normal means; their initial goal was to kill and rob the treasure.

Li Wei sighed and said:

"The local wizards are really rude... This school of thought is not called the cradle of dark wizards for nothing."

Parliament also wants to rectify the chaos within the school of death studies, but each time the school accuses it of "school discrimination," disrespecting local traditional culture, and being wrong!

In the void.

Li Wei was forced out, and several howling Void Hounds chased after him and surrounded him.

He was enveloped in golden light, and his black sorcerer's robes fluttered in the wind.

Beneath the mask, Li Wei's pale golden eyes watched all of this.

Two figures, one in front and one behind, surrounded Li Wei.

The red demon mask chuckled sinisterly:

"Although it's the Day of the Dead, I'm not really keen on killing anyone... The Divine Fruit is something I'm determined to obtain. You seem to have just advanced in rank, right? How about selling it to me at the lowest price? I'll help you deal with another person, hehehe."

Another devil mask sneered:

Do you think he'll believe your nonsense?

Li Wei said:

"May I ask, is it really not illegal to kill someone on the Day of the Dead?"

The Red Demon Mask said:

"As expected, they are from other schools of thought and don't quite understand our rules."

The devil mask laughed:

"As a traditional festival, this is protected by the Hand of the Underworld. If you don't believe me, let me kill you and see if I get investigated. I'll find a way to tell you the results in the Underworld, hahaha."

The Hand of the Underworld is a legendary wizard of the school of death.

Hearing this, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief and calmly said:

"I see, thank you for letting me know. So, if I kill you two, I won't be punished, right?"

10,000 words today, plus 4,000 extra words, leaving 25,000 words owed.

I'd like to recommend a book by a friend.
