Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 57 [The Kiss of the Spider-Faced Man] and the New Skill [Pharmacy] (Please continue reading)

Aside from the Black Serpent Breathing Technique, both forging and the Golden Cross Slash have seen significant improvements, but it will still be some time before a breakthrough.

In short, Li Wei believed that it was a certainty that he would become a mid-level knight before the end of the year, at which time his strength would make a qualitative leap.

After practicing the breathing technique, Li Wei took out the Human-Faced Spider Breathing Technique.

This breathing technique has been passed down from Li Wei to the present day, but he has never practiced it.

The Siren Breathing Technique is now at level four, and the special effect "Shrinking and Shaping" is unlocked. Overall, the goal of practicing the Siren Breathing Technique has been achieved. The next step is to slowly grind to level five and upgrade the special effect "Basic Speed" to "Intermediate Speed".

Now, Li Wei has time to work on new breathing techniques.

Between the giant bear breathing technique and the spider-faced breathing technique, Levi decided to prioritize the spider-faced breathing technique.

Although he could practice both the Spider-Man and the Bear Breathing Technique at the same time, he had limited time. In order to quickly advance the Spider-Man Breathing Technique to the fourth level, even if he spent time getting the basics of the Bear Breathing Technique, he didn't have time to grind experience. After all, the Black Serpent, Siren Breathing Technique, and Golden Cross Slash alone would take up a lot of Li Wei's time, not to mention forging.

If you practice too many breathing techniques at the same time, you will end up doing many things but not mastering any, and your energy will be scattered.

It's better to focus on conquering one thing, quickly grind it to level four to get the special effect, and then move on to the next one.

As I learn more and more breathing techniques and my practice speed increases, I should be able to master many breathing techniques simultaneously.

He was very interested in his perception of the human-faced spider's breathing technique.

Although the Red Spider Knight may seem weak, that's because she doesn't have any other main combat breathing techniques besides the Spider-Faced Breathing Technique.

But Li Wei is different. He has the fourth-level Black Serpent Breathing Technique, Frost Wolf Breathing Technique, Siren Breathing Technique, and the powerful Golden Cross Slash!

He is not lacking in fighting ability.

He counted them; there were a total of thirty-five little human figures on the Human-Faced Spider Breathing Technique, surrounding the Human-Faced Spider in various actions and postures.

During this time, after practicing more breathing techniques, Li Wei discovered a pattern: the higher the quality of the breathing technique, the more figurative figures appeared on its transmission diagram.

The Black Serpent Breathing Technique has as many as seventy-one figurine patterns, the Siren Breathing Technique has twenty-six, and the lowest quality Frostwolf Breathing Technique only has sixteen.

Another technique Li Wei hasn't yet mastered, the Giant Bear Breathing Technique, features nineteen small human figures.

Li Wei guessed that if it were a perfect or even legendary breathing technique, the number of little figures would increase dramatically. At the same time, this would mean that the time required to complete a single practice and the difficulty of the practice would also increase dramatically.

Li Wei immersed himself in practicing the Human-Faced Spider Breathing Technique. This breathing technique was a bloodline breathing technique, and it would take some time to master it.

Until Li Wei was exhausted and could no longer cultivate.

Li Wei then began studying the secret poison recipe on the back of the diagram depicting the human-faced spider breathing technique.

This inheritance chart records three poison formulas and their corresponding antidotes.

Li Wei hadn't had time to study it before, but now that he has, he's discovered that all three poison formulas are particularly effective.

The first type, "Tears of the Human-Faced Spider," is the powerful poison that the Red Spider Knight uses to incapacitate the Earth Dragon Beast. It requires six extremely precious and highly poisonous substances: the venom of the Ring-Tailed Sea Serpent, the tail of the Sacred Armored Scorpion, the fangs of the Red Widow Spider, the tongue of the Red-Spotted Poison Lizard, the skin of the Poison Dart Frog, and the Throat-Sealing Fruit!

These six precious materials are all quite difficult to obtain. Although they are not as valuable as ambergris, they are not something that can be obtained easily.

Fortunately, the bottles and jars on the Red Spider Knight's chest contained some remaining materials, which should last a long time. After all, Levi intended to use them to deal with humans, not the enormous earth dragons, so he wouldn't usually need such a large dose.

The second type is called "Breath of the Spider-Man". This poison is much less toxic than "Tears of the Spider-Man", but it is a volatile poison gas that is colorless and odorless, killing people invisibly. As long as the antidote is taken beforehand, one can be permanently immune to this poison. In Li Wei's opinion, it is also very useful and essential for close combat.

The third type is "The Kiss of the Human-Faced Spider." This poison is extremely potent. Once you are poisoned by it, it will remain dormant in your body for life. If you are poisoned by this, you must take the antidote once a year, otherwise you will suffer the pain of being devoured by thousands of spiders and die. However, as long as you take the antidote every year, it will have no effect at all.

Li Wei felt that this third type of poison was the most valuable because he could use it to control others by exploiting their fear of death.

The preparation of the poison was different from Livy's Black Serpent Elixir.

The Black Serpent Elixir is simply a mixture of raw materials, but the three poisons recorded on the Human-Faced Spider require real alchemy skills. Fortunately, detailed refining methods are recorded on it, and the Red Spider Knight also made many notes on it, all of which benefited Li Wei.

Li Wei spent several days preparing the vessels and various raw materials for concocting poison. He turned his sanctuary into something resembling a chemical laboratory, or rather, the home of an evil witch from some movies.

Then, Li Wei embarked on his first journey of alchemy.

Of course, the poisons Li Wei concocted were not "Tears of the Spider" and "Kiss of the Spider." The ingredients for these two poisons were too rare and not easy to obtain. As a result, Li Wei's initial attempts at concoctions inevitably involved a great deal of failure and waste.

In comparison, the materials for "Breath of the Human-Faced Spider" are much easier to find. They are all relatively common materials on the market, and the cost of crafting one batch is only about one silver coin, which Li Wei can afford.

Li Wei put on the Deathbird mask, lit the alcohol lamp, and a blue flame rose.

He began heating the alchemy vessel, adding ingredients step by step according to the secret recipe, controlling the temperature, stirring, adding water...

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

Dust flew everywhere, and hot liquid splashed.

Fortunately, Li Wei was wearing the Deathbird Mask, so he wasn't splashed on the face by the poisonous liquid.

"It exploded, I knew it."

Li Wei was not discouraged. He cleaned up the trash and continued working, since he had prepared plenty of tools.

And so, after failing seven times.

Li Wei finally succeeded in concocting his first dose of poison.

At the bottom of the vessel, a clump of powder resembling coarse salt had crystallized and solidified.

This is the "Breath of the Human-Faced Spider." When burned, it produces a colorless and odorless poisonous gas. It can also be sprayed directly into the respiratory system like quicklime to attack enemies.

Meanwhile, Li Wei, who had been obsessed with alchemy, made a surprising discovery.

A new skill had suddenly appeared on his skill proficiency panel:

Pharmaceuticals: Tier 1 (70/1000)
