Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 457 Absolutely Lucky! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

The Mysterious Realm of Dragon Ruins.

Above ground.

The wizards felt the intense fluctuations emanating from the earth, and their expressions changed.

They had no idea what had happened beneath the Demon Land.

All they could sense was two terrifying forces, beyond their comprehension, clashing.

Each confrontation seemed to send shivers down the spine of the entire eerie realm.

From time to time, rock strata crack open on the ground, releasing destructive energy shockwaves.

One unlucky fifth-ring wizard was struck and instantly turned to ashes.

Li Wei transmitted his voice to Triss:

"It seems that it's not just the Overturning Sea Wizard who has come."

Triss said:

"It's a pity that the teacher is too busy. Otherwise, no matter who the enemy is, as long as it's not a legendary wizard, the teacher can deal with it with ease. I'm a little worried now."

After all, the Overturning Sea Wizard was only a newly promoted Grand Wizard, and his strength was definitely among the lower ranks of Grand Wizards.

Not everyone is a freak like Li Wei, who basically becomes invincible within the same realm once he advances to a higher level.

Li Weidao:

"Let's wait and see. The worst outcome is that the secondary plane of Dragon Ruins explodes... and we are exiled to the Dark Lands."

The secondary plane is also part of Nora.

However, their locations are somewhat special.

But if the sub-plane dissipates, everything inside will definitely return to the Dark Land.

With Li Wei and the others' Yuanhun strength, it would just take them some time to fly back to Nora.

It won't perish along with the plane of existence.

"Look, what's that?"

"My God, a dragon!"

A wizard suddenly exclaimed.

But then, a crimson crack stretching for thousands of miles appeared on the horizon of the Dragon Ruins.

Two enormous dragon claws tore through the sky, their wings spanning 30,000 meters, and they descended in a breathtaking display!

It is covered in red scales, with countless lava flows on its surface, and a series of active volcanoes running along its back.

"Father?"

On the other side, Alyssa Draco couldn't help but murmur to herself.

Aisha was also stunned.

"Why is your father here?"

Triss's expression changed.

"This is the guardian of the Sleeping Dragon Realm, one of the few remaining fully-formed pure-blooded dragons in the Wizarding World, the Lava Dragon Leodes, who is also Alysandra's father."

Li Wei's eyes were filled with shock.

This was the first time he had ever come so close to a legendary creature!

A true, fully-fledged pure-blooded dragon!

That's incredibly powerful! Faced with that aura, he was like a small boat, teetering on the brink of collapse.

What exactly is going on with this Dragon Ruins Mysterious Realm? Why are so many big shots paying attention to it?

The lava dragon said coldly:

"Black Sun, release the Dragon Soul of Sdromeron!"

Upon hearing the familiar name, all the wizards present changed their expressions drastically.

"The Black Sun? That number one black wizard of the Endless Sea?"

"The leader of the Black Sun Tower is said to have been promoted to Grand Wizard hundreds of years ago."

"Why is he here too?"

"That Black Sun is truly arrogant! He's sided with the Council of All Races, yet he dares to come to our Nora!"

An atmosphere of panic, unease, and despair was spreading, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Faced with such power at the ninth-ring level, everything else is pale and powerless.

On the horizon, a huge black sun expands continuously, as if it's about to burst the eerie landscape.

The lava dragon opened its mouth and swallowed Alyssandra and Ashe whole.

"Those who don't want to die, follow me."

Its dragon wings whipped up a storm, sweeping away all the wizards in these strange realms... including Levi and Triss.

The shockwave from the terrifying explosion, like a chain reaction, lifted up the eerie, demonic land layer by layer.

One by one, the underground caves began to collapse, and the monsters and demons that lived within them were all reduced to ashes.

Next, neither Levi nor Triss knew what was happening, because they both ended up inside Alysandra's father's stomach.

Opening his eyes, Li Wei curiously surveyed the world before him.

As far as the eye can see, there are endless volcanoes, lava lakes, and rivers.

A scorching storm swept across the sky, bringing with it the smell of sulfur.

There are even many fire elemental spirits or fire-type creatures living there.

Alexandra transmitted her voice to Li Weidao:

"This is my father's inner world. I used to play in there, and then he fell asleep and locked me inside. It was Chairman Jinlong who woke my father up and rescued me... But don't worry, sir, we are safe inside."

Li Wei laughed:

Thank you.

Black Sun's move just now was truly vicious; he wanted to kill these juniors in the Ghost Realm.

Inside the inner world, the wizards were in a panic, especially the dark wizards who had been submerged in the ancient city.

They were surrounded and huddled together in a circle.

Volcanoes erupted, suppressing these dark wizards.

Within this inner world, these Yuan Soul experts were utterly powerless to resist.

"These people should be handed over to the Wizard Council for handling."

A rumbling sound came from the lava dragon.

Judging from its appearance, this dragon is also a member of the Wizarding Council, or rather, a partner.

Having been inside the dragon's belly for an unknown amount of time, Li Wei and his companions could sense that a fierce battle was taking place outside.

It must be the Sea-Overturning Wizard and the Lava Dragon battling the Black Sun.

"Black Sun has only been a Grand Wizard for a few hundred years, yet he already possesses such strength. Just who is this person?"

Li Wei was puzzled.

This was the first time he had witnessed the power of the Black Sun.

"If this person becomes a legendary wizard, it will not be a good thing for the Wizarding Council. Hopefully, the Council can nip it in the bud as soon as possible."

But since Black Sun dares to return, it must have something to rely on.

The bloody battle is now escalating, and it is said that demons of level nine or above are arriving at the battlefield from the Abyss.

The next thousand years or so will inevitably be the most difficult period for the wizarding world.

The Council of All Races will surely seize this opportunity to launch more terrorist attacks.

"Only by becoming a great wizard as soon as possible can one have the qualifications to participate in such a war of civilizations."

Li Wei said to himself.

……

a few days later.

A giant lava dragon, its fiery wings blazing, descended from the sky and landed in the central realm.

A fully armed wizarding warband was already waiting here.

The leader was a high-ranking wizard.

Lady Chains Andrea, a powerful figure who previously cooperated with Rowling to destroy the Blood Boil.

The chained woman smiled and said:

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Leodes."

Leodes nodded slightly and said calmly:

"It was just a small favor. It's a pity that the Soul of the Demon Dragon was still taken away by the Black Sun. This person actually has a level ten treasure. No wonder he is so fearless. There must be a powerful level ten expert backing him up."

Not long after.

The Sea-Overturning Wizard also descended from the sky, looking somewhat listless, as if he had been injured.

He sighed and said:

"The Dragon Ruins Mysterious Realm has shattered; let's seal it off completely from now on."

The chained woman said:

"Is the city lord who was submerged already dead?"

The Sea-Overturning Wizard said:

"Yes, his storage ring collapsed during my battle with the Black Sun. All the spoils of war were swept into the void turbulence, except for a Demon Dragon Whip, which was a rare treasure that my junior sister Triss once obtained from the Ghost Realm."

The chained woman said:

"It's alright, the Demon Dragon Whip is useless now. Lord Matthias, you should go back and heal your wounds. We will send the reward to your residence later."

Figures flew out from the lava dragon's mouth.

The wizards who explored the mysterious Dragon Ruins all returned safely.

The black sorcerers who were grieving for their parents in the ancient city were all shackled and bound with sorcery by the Lady of Chains and her people, who then placed a spell on them.

Li Wei and Triss looked around and saw three auras of great wizards, so they knew they had arrived at the Central Realm.

The chained woman said:

"The Dragon Ruins Ghost Realm is abandoned. You may all disperse."

The wizards expressed their gratitude, though they were still shaken.

If the Wizarding Council hadn't arrived in time, they would all have been in grave danger during this expedition.

The Sea-Overturning Wizard said:

"Triss and Levi, come with me."

He took the two of them and brought them to the Tower of the Abyss.

Seeing the two return safely, the Black Abyss Walker laughed:

"It seems you've had a good harvest in the ghost realm."

Triss said:

Thank you, teacher!

The Black Abyss Walker said:

"We also have to thank Li Wei for spreading the news in time. We've been busy with the bloody battle lately and really haven't had time to waste on those people. I didn't expect them to cause such a big mess."

Li Wei said:

"It was just a small favor."

The Sea-Overturning Wizard handed the Dragon Whip to Triss, jokingly saying:

"You'd better hold onto your whip carefully next time, lest someone else snatch it away again."

Triss was filled with trepidation.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Although she already has the Black Queen, she still can't forget about the Demon Dragon Whip.

The Black Abyss Walker said:

"I have important matters to attend to recently and am unable to attend to them. If you need anything, please contact Matthias."

"Also, congratulations Li Wei on your promotion to the seventh ring senior. The fungi and green creatures you handed over to the council seem to have made preliminary research results. Once the experiments are successful, you can enjoy the experimental results first in your Ancient Dragon Continent."

"The intensity of the war will increase in the coming days, and large-scale battlefields will no longer be limited to the God-Forsaken Continent. You should also pay attention to safety while you are organizing yourselves."

"That's all. You should cultivate diligently, do your best, and reach your highest level without regrets."

For some reason, this great wizard started rambling on and on.

After leaving the Central Realm, Triss handed her black dragon scale token to Levi.

"This thing is pretty useless now, but dragon scales are top-grade refining materials, so you can take it."

Li Wei paused for a moment, then accepted the token.

Thank you, ma'am.

According to the deep-sea swordsman, these dragon scales are genuine level nine scales.

Although there is only one, it is priceless.

After parting ways, Li Wei returned to the Ancient Dragon Continent.

"What a pity, the Dragon Ruins Mystery Realm dungeon is gone just like that. There were still a lot of resources inside."

"Damn it, the ancient city is submerged, cutting off my source of income."

He was just venting; there was no way he could get revenge now.

The city lord who was submerged has already been killed by the Sea Overturning Wizard.

However, he has come to terms with it now, so he won't have any regrets for the rest of his life.

He was destined to become a legendary wizard, and these minor villains were not worth his time.

……

Tower of the Black Abyss.

Matthias said:

"Teacher, when I was fighting the Black Sun, I didn't notice that I had damaged the City Lord's storage ring. I saw three tokens of the Treasure Vault of the Emperors, but they were caught in the void turbulence and are now most likely destroyed."

The Black Abyss Walker said calmly:

"The Treasure Vault of the Emperors? The place of inheritance that the Sea Clan has always longed for. Actually, there's nothing of value inside, at most some opportunities to achieve the ninth level. Let it go. The Sea Clan is gone now. Finding the remaining nine tokens is like looking for a needle in a haystack. As tokens of the treasure vault, they shouldn't be destroyed. Perhaps in the distant future, they will become opportunities for some lucky ones. Who knows?"

Mattia nodded.

"And that Black Sun, this person actually carries a rare level ten treasure. What is his identity? Why is he so troublesome? I think even the Lava Dragon Leodes, a level nine late-stage dragon, seems to be somewhat wary of him."

The Black Abyss Walker thought for a moment and said:

"Black Sun is an extremely mysterious figure. We know very little about him, but based on the information we currently have, we speculate that he is an avatar of some being. Of course, not from our Wizard Council, but from the Council of All Races."

Matthias frowned and said:

"The Council of All Races? It seems they've been plotting to invade Nora for a long time. Perhaps they were also behind the previous war between the Black and White Wizards. The Soaked City Lord was just a pawn in the Black Sun's hands, being used without even realizing it."

The Black Abyss Walker said:

"Don't dwell on things involving level ten beings. Just focus on recovering from your injuries. Even though you've advanced to Grand Wizard, you still need to hone your skills."

……

Ancient Dragon Continent.

Seeing that Li Wei was unharmed, Baihua continued her secluded cultivation.

Li Wei buried the Deep Sea Swordsman forever on the sea of ​​the Ancient Banyan Wonderland and marked it.

If we're lucky, a Morning Star artifact might be created in the future.

He also redeemed the corresponding bounty rewards from the Central Realm.

It's a choice of three: fire, earth, or thunder.

Li Wei chose Thunder without hesitation.

Because that wondrous object was precisely the wondrous object of the Thor sequence.

Morning Star Wonder: Thor's Eye

He quickly refined it, increasing his mental strength by 50 points.

On the proficiency panel, [Thor's Body] is still incomplete.

However, he could sense that it was much stronger than before.

In an instant, he summoned the projection of Thor.

The right hand, heart, and eyes have all solidified.

Like a jigsaw puzzle, Li Wei had a feeling that one-third of the puzzle was now complete.

It shouldn't be necessary to collect all the organs to complete Thor's body.

By simply adding a few of the most crucial components and some other organs, a complete system can be assembled.

No accompanying spirit creature was born from the Eye of Thor.

On the contrary, Li Wei could feel that the [Si Lei] in his mind had become even stronger after he refined this strange object.

He speculated that sequence artifacts might also evolve into companion spirits.

In short, he should pay more attention to thunder-related artifacts in the future and try to collect the entire Thor sequence.

He stopped fantasizing about other factions; they were too difficult. He'd just let things take their course.

Collecting the main sequence artifacts from all the major factions is a hundred times more difficult than acquiring infinite elemental souls.

……

Two years later, in Nora's 365th year.

Ancient Dragon Continent Training Grounds.

Li Wei unleashed the Heavenly Thunder Light spell time and time again.

Then he sat cross-legged and meditated to restore his mental energy.

"As expected, after the magic runes reached the third level, the casting speed improved significantly, and the 20% reduction in casting time was useful. With the same spells cast at the same time, and with the Ancient Tower Scepter, I can basically guarantee the first move 100%, and the power of my spells far exceeds that of other wizards."

This made Li Wei even more eager to learn about magic runes.

After practicing the Lover Rune for a while, the proficiency panel showed the progress.

Li Wei's spirits lifted.

In his mind, the white sheep-shaped rune model shone brightly.

A beam of starlight shot straight into the sky!

After a while.

A strange-looking giant beast, covered in white curly fur, with a fat body and slender limbs, landed in front of Li Wei.

"Meow~ Meow~ Meow!"

The soft bleating of sheep rang in Li Wei's ears.

His eyes narrowed slightly, then he asked in confusion:

"So, the true form of the Lovers rune is a sheep?"

The white ram was as huge as a mountain, but it did not give Li Wei any sense of pressure.

This is completely different from the previous horned bull and celestial horse.

"Each Star Soul has a completely different personality. The Bull is stubborn, the Pegasus is arrogant, and this Aries seems gentle and has no aggression whatsoever."

He opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei——————

Lover Rune: Tier 11, Special Effect: Aries Constellation Power (Level 10), Star Soul: Aries

[Aries Constellation Power (Level 11): Runeword connects you to the Aries constellation, amplifying your luck with stellar power. Current luck boost is 100%. In addition, your personal charm and fertility are also enhanced.]

……

【Star Soul - Aries】

[Star Name: Gothic White Pat]

[Star sign: Cheerful and optimistic]

【Star Language: Luck】

[Level: Seven]

[Ability: Lucky Joy]

[Lucky Joy: Aries will play a cheerful tune for you. After the tune ends, you will have a lucky hour during which your luck will be doubled.]

Please note: "People who smile a lot are usually lucky."

……

After reaching level 11 with the Lover's Rune, Li Wei's luck boost officially reached 100%.

Aries's introduction also surprised Li Wei somewhat.

"Gothic White Pete, cheerful and optimistic, just as expected, this level seven star soul has no desire to attack whatsoever."

In general.

Aries Star Soul is a completely supportive Star Soul.

Its only useful ability is [Lucky Joy].

Listen to Aries tunes and your luck will double.

The doubling here is based on the 100% increase from the Lover Rune.

If Li Wei has 10 points of luck, it will be increased to 20 points after the boost.

After listening to the Aries tune, the score became 40 points.

It can be said that this hour will be an absolutely lucky moment for Li Wei.

Therefore, if used properly, it can not only be used for treasure hunting, but also play an unexpected role in battle.

After all, an hour might not be enough time for treasure hunting.

"Interesting, Aries, play a little tune."

Li Wei decided to test whether this luck stat would work.

Aries glanced at Li Wei, then lazily began to sing.

"Meow meow meow~ Meow meow~ Meow..."

Li Wei: "..."

Listening to a sheep's song is like hearing celestial music, instantly illuminating the ears...

After bleating, Aries's figure slowly dissipated, and the duration was over.

Li Wei also felt that his mental energy seemed to be somewhat exhausted.

"Although it's just a support star soul, the mental energy it consumes is even greater than that of Pegasus and Horned Bull."

"Let me see if anything interesting happens in the next hour."

Li Wei plans to take advantage of his "absolutely lucky" period to go out for a stroll, hoping to find some good stuff.

He didn't wander around the Ancient Dragon Continent; he had already explored and developed the entire place, and there was nothing good left.

He decided to head to the dark lands to try his luck.

Time passed second by second.

Half an hour later, nothing happened.

An hour later, nothing happened.

Li Wei couldn't help but sigh:

"What are you thinking? Luck is an elusive thing. Even if you're absolutely lucky, nothing miraculous can happen in just one hour. This skill is best activated before exploring ruins, or when opening memory blind boxes in the Underworld Market. Its effect is similar to the gacha anthem 'Good Luck' from my previous life."

Li Wei wasn't disappointed when he returned home; there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

……

The Tower of Summer Flowers.

Baihua has just emerged from seclusion.

She stretched lazily, when she suddenly felt as if a shooting star had streaked across the sky.

"Hmm? Could it be an extraterrestrial meteorite from the Dark Land that fell onto the Ancient Dragon Continent?"

Many rare metals were obtained by wizards in this way.

For example, obsidian, or even more precious elemental metals.

Baihua arrived at the spot where the meteor had fallen, where there was a small crater in the ground.

Inside the pit, a long spear made of obsidian gold was inserted, still humming and trembling.

"Huh? Obsidian weapons... Could it be that there's a fight going on here?"

Baihua looked around but didn't sense anyone. It seemed to be an unclaimed object that had fallen from the Dark Land.

Although the gold was worthless to her, she still kept it in keeping with her thrifty and hardworking virtues.

Passing by the Imperial Palace, I saw Li Wei with his hands behind his back, looking like he had just returned from shopping, still deep in thought.

Baihua asked:

"Li Wei, where have you gone?"

Li Weidao:

"I just took a stroll through the Dark Lands. You've cleared the gates? How's your training going?"

Hundred Flowers Path:

"That's great. I just saw a shooting star fall on our Ancient Dragon Continent and then I picked up this thing. It's not worth much, but I'm pretty lucky today."

She pulled out the obsidian-gold spear and showed it off.

Upon seeing this, Li Wei's expression hardened.

"This thing..."

As he spoke, he took out a trident from a storage ring that had been sealed away for a long time.

This trident is also made of obsidian gold, and it looks like a simple weapon.

This is a trophy that Li Wei obtained from a first-ring wizard on Whale Song Isle during his wizarding apprenticeship.

He used it as a weapon during his weak period.

However, as he became a formal wizard, he was gradually phased out.

During this time, Li Wei wanted to melt it down several times to make a Radiant Gold Alchemy Creature, but he was nostalgic and kept it until now.

After all, it's an antique, so it has sentimental value.

Baihua saw the trident.

"Hey, you have one too? Where did you get this? Did you just pick it up?"

It is obvious that although the trident and the spear have different shapes, they are made in the same style.

Moreover, they all exude an ancient aura, clearly indicating that they are all from ancient times.

Li Wei laughed:

"I got this a long time ago, did you just pick it up?"

Baihua nodded.

Li Wei gazed thoughtfully at the Aries rune model leisurely "grazing" in his mind.

"Did this work? Or was it something that could have happened anyway?"

"Never mind, let's just assume it worked. It's my first time using it, so I should get some kind of beginner's gift pack, even though this thing doesn't seem to be very useful."

Li Weidao:

"Give me this, I'll collect it."

Baihua readily agreed, and Li Wei, carrying the Radiant Gold Spear, returned to the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.

A few days later, Leon compiled the Deep Sea Swordsman's memories onto a disc.

Li Wei checked the information above.

"Not bad, I've obtained three more seventh-ring spells."

With Lyon advancing to level seven, and the once-in-a-century blind box buying event in Hell.

He's spending less and less money on elemental spirit spells.

Of course, if he comes across a good spell, he will still buy it and collect it in his spell library; old habits die hard.

"Wait, the Imperial Treasury, the Sea Clan's tokens, the Twelve Ancient Emperors?"

Suddenly, memories of the sea creatures flooded into Li Wei's mind.

After he finished digesting it, he took out the obsidian spear again.

"Neptune's Gun?"

Immediately afterwards, the golden trident appeared.

"Neptune's Trident?"

"The trident I obtained by chance was actually the key to unlocking the [Treasury of the Emperors]."

"Baghdad may know about this, but I have never used this thing in front of it, and it does not know that I have the Trident of Neptune, so it has never mentioned it."

Li Wei wasn't particularly concerned about the "Treasury of the Emperors," which the sea creatures coveted.

To put it simply, the Sea Clan is a civilization with a maximum level of nine.

The only level nine powerhouse is most likely their ancient sea god.

However, the sea god has been dead for hundreds of thousands of years, so what could possibly be inside?

This thing is merely a "lifeline" or "faith" for these oppressed sea creatures.

Knowing they could not resist the wizard civilization, they could only entrust their hopes to this "treasury of emperors," whose existence was unknown.

It takes 12 tokens to unlock the Emperors' Treasury.

Li Wei, on the other hand, only has two items.

He simply couldn't afford to waste time searching for the remaining 10 items.

"So, it's still just an antique I collect."

Li Wei put away the two weapons and sealed the matter away in his memory.

If he really has the chance to obtain those 12 tokens in the future, he might as well explore them.

Treasure hunting is also a kind of romance for men.

……

one year later.

Nora in 366, the Battle of 152.

At the "advanced age" of 790, Li Wei embarked on his journey to abandon the mainland once again after many years.

Based on his divination and sense of danger, the previous uproar should have passed.

However, after careful consideration, he did not intend to use the corpse demon Danis, created by the dragonborn giant, for this demon hunt.

Li Wei currently has 6800 million points and 6300 million battle merits.

With his talent in Shadow Dragon Clan, he is confident that he can accumulate 1 million battle merits in a short period of time, given the right opportunity.

The continent abandoned by the gods.

Looking down from the air, the once black land now shows patches of blood-red stains from time to time.

These are stained with demon blood and wizard blood.

Li Wei's monocle appeared, and countless strands of demonic energy, tangled together, floated in his field of vision.

He began his hunting journey, seeking out other higher-level demonic energy.

……

Time flies, and ten years have passed.

Nora, 376.

Middle-earth, Gondor.

Fire Dragon Shop.

"Unbeknownst to us, fifty years have passed."

The Holy Infant opened the window of the wizard's tower, looked out at the blue sky, basked in the sunlight, and lazily stretched.

"After more than four hundred years of advancement to the sixth ring, I have finally reached my limit today, and I have even been branded with 15 witch marks... It has been a long time since I crafted any artifacts, and I am inexplicably itching to do so. When I advance to the seventh ring this time, I will definitely refine it until the world turns upside down."

As the Fire Dragon Shop got on track and more and more people joined, Holy Infant began to live a semi-hands-off life as a shopkeeper.

"The fact that I was able to reach my limit so quickly is largely thanks to those rare artifacts of truth, as well as the Soul Stones, Nether Soul Dates, and Fire Dates bestowed upon me by the Venerable One."

He looked in the direction of Gandalf's pharmacy, knowing that the old man had no limit yet.

The body-refining method doesn't require branding with witch marks; it only requires condensing body-refining runes and spiritual power, which seems very simple.

In reality, the body-refining method is not simple at all.

To reach the sixth ring limit, Gandalf would need to condense nearly ten million body-refining runes.

Moreover, he was practicing the most difficult "Thousand-Hand Ancient God Body Refining Method" and "Ten-Winged Heavenly Dragon Body Refining Method".

In addition, there are the indispensable social engagements and networking opportunities.

It's normal to fall behind yourself.

"Master, you've emerged from seclusion!"

Alexandra exclaimed in delight.

After being rescued by her father, she and Ashe stayed at the Dragonborn Order for a short time before returning to the Fire Dragon Shop.

The Holy Infant laughed:

"The two ladies' mental strength has also improved significantly."

Ash said:

"We also refined the Morning Star artifact."

After returning from the Dragon Ruins, they also exchanged for their own random rare items.

Ashe obtained the burning artifact [Crimson Blood Rose], and Alyssandra obtained the frost artifact [Dance of the Frost Spirit].

Isn't this a kind of good fortune?

After refining, both women's strength increased significantly.

Their individual talents were improved.

In fact, before this, they had refined several earth and sky-level rare artifacts.

But this is the first time it has reached the Morning Star level.

Therefore, they still have a lot of room for improvement.

Unfortunately, none of them gave birth to companion spirits.

The master, who possessed several companion spirits, was naturally very envious.

Overall, the number of rare items refined is still too small; if there were more, one or two would surely be born.

Alchemy room.

Silverbeard and the others were still researching alchemical creatures when they saw the Holy Infant emerge from seclusion. They were all delighted and offered him words of comfort.

Not long after.

A dark-skinned, daringly dressed, blonde woman with an exotic flair entered the shop in long boots.

"Hello, my name is Zion, and I'm here to apply for the job of instrument maker."

Upon learning the purpose of their visit, a young witch smiled and led Zion to the Holy Infant's office.

She is Mia's successor, Mina.

He has good talent, is compatible with both elemental types, and is now a second-circle wizard.

Mina was an abandoned baby that Mia took in while she was working on the Mortal Realm.

Mina was almost killed by the dark wizard, but Mia saved her.

Seeing that she had good talent, Mia took her back to the Tower of Dawn to train her, and then she worked at the Fire Dragon Shop.

As for Mia, she is now old and gray, and has retired to her hometown.

She returned to the Ancient Dragon Continent, where she lived a secluded life, awaiting death.

Mia was already quite old when she broke through to the fifth ring, and now, with the passage of time, she is nearing the end of her life.

With the help of the Holy Infant, Mia obtained a potion to break through to the sixth ring and attempted to do so.

Unfortunately, it failed...

Fortunately, the Holy Infant bestowed a treasure beforehand, saving her life.

But with no hope of ever reaching the sixth ring road in this lifetime, Mia remained grateful before leaving.

For her, without the help of the Holy Infant, she might not have been able to advance to the fifth ring.

Now, having fallen before the Sixth Ring Road, a notoriously formidable obstacle, I am still honored despite the defeat, and I am content.

The Holy Infant had been extremely kind to Mia, since the Infinite Soul Technique of the Holy Infant itself originated from Mia.

In addition, he had witnessed Mia's hard work and dedication over the past few centuries.

In fact, Mia had even had feelings for him earlier, but those feelings gradually faded away with time.

Inside the small shop, Zion, a beautiful woman with wheat-colored skin, looked at the Holy Infant, and it was clear that she was a little nervous.

Although she was also a Yuanhun Wizard, compared to the renowned Saint Infant, she was at best a nobody.

The Holy Infant smiled and said:

"I saw on your resume that you are skilled in crafting rare treasures. May I ask who your master is? Of course, if it's inconvenient to say, you don't have to answer this question."

Zion hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively:

"Master, if I don't answer, will I not get the job?"

The Holy Infant smiled and indicated that this was true.

Zion Road:

"My mentor was someone I learned from ancient ruins in my early years. He was an ancient artifact maker who was quite well-known in the Endless Sea."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Infant's heart stirred.

"Did you find it on the Loess Plateau?"

Zion Road:

"Yes, it seems the master also has some knowledge of the history of the Koren family?"

Zion is now five hundred years old, and its understanding of the Coron family comes from some relics or ancient records.

The Holy Infant thought to himself, "When I was young, I had dealings with the Koren family and witnessed its downfall."

The Holy Infant said:

"This is our contract. Please take a look at its contents, madam. It may be a bit strict, so once you've made your choice, you can't back out. Of course, in return, you will become a member of our Fire Dragon Shop family from now on."

He had already researched Zion beforehand, and this person was indeed a rare treasure maker.

This profession is very old and has long been replaced by weapon makers; there are not many left.

The rare treasure makers are recruited by the government and top wizarding organizations to repair their ancient treasures.

Compared to magical artifacts that can be continuously upgraded, rare treasures that are expensive and cannot be upgraded are indeed outdated.

Its biggest advantage is that it is not limited by rank and can be used as a trump card for elders to give to younger generations.

However, even low-level wizards find it difficult to unleash its full power; in many cases, it is not as effective as a top-quality magical artifact of the same level.

Zion said:

"Okay, Master, give me some time to think about it."

Holy Infant Path:

"Alright, but I'll be going into seclusion soon, so hurry up."

a few days later.

Zion eventually found the Holy Infant and expressed his willingness to join the Fire Dragon Shop.

The elders, including Silverbeard, Iron Teeth, Copper Ears, and Golden Eyes, all came to offer their congratulations.

The silver-bearded man laughed from the bottom of his heart:

"Congratulations on joining our family, ma'am. You'll love it here."

At the Fire Dragon Shop, he ended his life of wandering and homelessness.

Here, you can do whatever you like without worrying about expensive Yuan Soul cultivation resources.

Moreover, because of Master Huolong's reputation, others also showed great respect to these elders.

Six months later, not long after joining Fire Dragon Shop, Zion made an important decision.

She copied the treasure-making inheritance she had obtained and gave it to the Holy Infant, in exchange for the Holy Infant taking her as his apprentice and teaching her how to make artifacts.

She also wanted to make her skills more comprehensive, because it would be difficult to succeed by relying solely on crafting treasures.

The Holy Infant was naturally happy to agree, and he also wanted to study the knowledge of crafting treasures, just in case he might need it.

He later learned that there were indeed similar treasures to the Windstorm Pearl in Zion.

She received the [Earth Disaster Bead] and the [Lightning Disaster Bead].

The Holy Infant then used a top-grade six-ringed witch artifact to exchange for the two beads from the little girl.

In this way, I have now collected all four types of beads: [Earth Disaster], [Fire Disaster], [Wind Disaster], and [Thunder Disaster].

If nothing unexpected happens, there will also be three types of people who have been stranded abroad: those affected by floods, those affected by cold, and those affected by metal disasters.

Now, the Fire Dragon Shop has finally gathered all kinds of skilled craftsmen, a truly successful endeavor.

The Holy Infant was overjoyed. He took out the [Flame Demon Potion] that his true self had refined, intending to advance to the Seventh Realm in one fell swoop.

In the pharmacy, Gandalf remained silent for a long time, and no further news of his deeds emerged.

Only Victor would occasionally travel to the Forsaken Continent to hunt demons, earn battle merits, and practice the secret sword's array techniques.

Refining the seventh-ring Heavenly Star Sword Formation is a systematic and massive project. He needs to wait until the Holy Infant reaches the seventh ring before the two of them can refine it together.

Time flies, and another four years have passed.

On the Level 8 Demon Slayer Ranking, Victor sang while brandishing his sword, making a comeback all the way.

They surged into the top 100 with unstoppable momentum, and their points quickly surpassed ten million.

Clearly, this leader of the Secret Sword Sect, after reaching the seventh ring, was in no way inferior to those established predecessors.

On the seventh-level demon-slaying list, Gandalf and Ace have long since fallen out of the top 100.

One after another, rising stars emerged, beginning to show their talent on the battlefield.

Among the rising stars, the most dazzling ones, like "supernovae," are well-known to everyone.

For example, [Link, the Demon Sword].

In the midst of bloodshed and fire, less than a century after he stepped into the sixth ring, he advanced to the senior sixth ring realm.

He even became one of the top 100 on the Demon Slayer Ranking, one of the few veterans at the sixth ring.

He is now widely recognized as "Little Victor".

In an interview with Bloodbath Daily, Link expressed his helplessness:

"Although I deeply respect Senior Viktor, I still dislike this title. It makes me feel like I'm living in his shadow..."

There are several other supernovas on the Level 7 Demon Slayer Ranking; they are all the strongest geniuses from various top wizarding organizations.

There were also some whose origins were unknown, suspected to be rogue cultivators, or perhaps powerful individuals who were children of important figures.

Among the supernovas, there are also two knights.

One of them is the "Fire Dragon Knight" on the Level 7 Demon Slayer Ranking.

He is the only knight in the top 100 of the rankings.

He once killed a late-stage level 6 demon with his mid-level level 6 cultivation... more than once.

In the battle projections circulating in the witch world.

After revealing its true form, this being was even larger than a demon.

With his mountain-sized greatsword, he smashed a powerful demon lord to pieces as easily as crushing garlic.

The other one is the "Extreme Knight" on the Level 8 Demon Slayer Ranking.

More than a decade after his comeback, he rose at an astonishing speed from 20th place back to the top ten of the rankings.

And this time... he's number one!
