Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 70 [Exorcism Notes] (A long chapter of 3400 words! Please read on!)

Not long after, someone came looking for Li Wei to buy his breathing technique.

"Are you Geralt the White Wolf?" The person who came was a fat man with a large belly, who was obviously not a knight.

"Exactly, do you sell breathing techniques?" Li Wei asked.

"That's right, I have a breathing technique here. I wonder what price Lord White Wolf is willing to pay?" the fat man said cautiously.

"That depends on the quality of your breathing technique. Would you mind showing it to me?" Li Wei asked.

The fat man nodded, took out an old-fashioned book from his pocket. It was covered in dust and oil stains and looked dirty. He quickly showed it to Li Wei and then put it away.

Although he only glanced at it, Li Wei was certain that the breathing technique was real. Moreover, he noticed that there were only nineteen little figures on it, and the pattern in the middle of the breathing technique looked like a bull, so it was most likely a power-type breathing technique.

It's a very basic power breathing technique, and a piece of junk at that, similar to the Giant Bear Breathing Technique.

Li Wei was somewhat disappointed; even at its limit, this breathing technique would only have a limited effect on improving his strength.

But with the mindset that something is better than nothing, Li Wei still decided to acquire it.

Seeing that Li Wei seemed to sigh, the fat man, as if worried that Li Wei wouldn't like his breathing technique, said, "Lord Geralt of Rivia, this breathing technique is unique to our Minos family and has great collection value. As a collector of breathing techniques, you should know that."

"20 gold coins," Li Wei said calmly.

"Too low," the fat man said in a low voice. He could feel a terrifying aura emanating from Li Wei, so he had been particularly afraid of Li Wei ever since he came in.

He wasn't even a knight, nor did he practice this ancestral breathing technique. He had always wanted to find an opportunity to sell the breathing technique so he could get money to patronize prostitutes. The young girls who had just arrived at the brothel were driving him crazy.

Li Wei stood up immediately. "20 gold coins. Take it or leave it."

Anyway, he didn't think much of this rudimentary breathing technique.

"Alright, 20 gold coins." The fat man said in a pleading tone as he saw Li Wei about to leave.

The transaction was completed, and Li Wei took the breathing technique and looked at it carefully.

"Bull Breathing Technique, it sounds like that kind of overused breathing technique."

Li Wei complained that in the picture, the little people worshipped a bison the size of a house as a totem.

As he guessed, it was a basic-level power breathing technique.

"Sigh, breathing techniques are still hard to come by. I might as well go and ask around to see who the real collectors of breathing techniques are in Icewind City. I might as well become a lawless outlaw like Zhang San." Li Wei had the idea of ​​robbery.

In the end, he gave up on the idea, as avoiding trouble was his principle.

Of course, if someone provokes him, then it's not his fault.

Li Wei posted a commission at the Shining Tavern to "purchase planarian eggs for a hefty sum," hoping to try his luck.

Because it coincided with the monthly Shining Auction.

Li Wei also joined in the fun.

Unexpectedly, some really good items appeared at the auction.

For example, the "Silverscale Breastplate" crafted by the "Flame Hammer" sold for 500 gold coins. It is said that this breastplate used a full two pounds of mithril.

"Heh, I'm a craftsman too. It's a pity my name hasn't made a name for itself yet, otherwise making money would be much easier. No, I need to find a way to market myself, otherwise I'll waste my craftsmanship."

"Hmm, next time I trade with the Boar Rider, all the armor I personally forged must be priced higher. If the boar doesn't agree, I'll just terminate the trade with him. He's no longer of any use to me. It's a good opportunity to get rid of him, wipe out the Boar Gang, and take back Old Toby." Levi muttered to himself. He had been holding onto this grudge for several years.

Surprisingly, this auction also featured a rudimentary, non-bloodline breathing technique: the Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique.

This is a powerful breathing technique, which was auctioned off for a staggering 800 gold coins.

Even a rudimentary non-bloodline breathing technique is extremely precious. Many nobles who possess ancestral bloodline breathing techniques would scramble to buy it, since it's perfect for their subordinates to cultivate and for building their own power.

Not to mention the nouveau riche in this world who have money but no ancestral bloodline breathing techniques, they are even more eager to have it.

Li Wei did not participate in the bidding, even though he wanted it too.

However, spending nearly a thousand gold coins for this is not worth it.

He only needs the Siren Breathing Technique to train his subordinates.

After all, those idiots could spend a lifetime cultivating just the Siren Breathing Technique.

Ultimately, the Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique was bought by a masked nobleman, who left in a hurry after acquiring it, clearly worried about being coveted.

Li Wei noticed that shortly after the nobleman left, some people quietly followed him.

Thinking of this, a glint appeared in Li Wei's eyes.

Since there were no more items he wanted to bid on, he simply left the venue.

He guessed that those people wanted to steal the nobleman's breathing technique.

"If those people succeed in robbing me, I'll double-cross them. If they fail, then so be it; after all, I, Li Wei, am not some great villain."

Li Wei possessed an extremely flexible moral bottom line.

After leaving the Shining Tavern, Li Wei silently followed behind the group.

As soon as the nobleman stepped out, he mounted his horse and began to gallop out of the city.

Those with ill intentions quickly followed.

A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

If that nobleman bought the Bloodline Breathing Technique, just like Li Wei did back then, no one would even bother with him.

However, non-bloodline breathing techniques are completely different.

Li Wei followed at the very back, moving at his own pace and with his own agility.

The strongest of these people were low-ranking knights, and many of them weren't even knights. To him, they were nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs.

The nobles were in no hurry to leave the city because, with the Silver Mountain Earl's Silver Guards and the Church's influence within the city, they wouldn't cause too much of a commotion. But once they went out, things would be different.

He found a hotel and stayed there for several days.

Many of those who attempted to rob the bank gave up.

A few people were unwilling to give up and had been lingering near the hotel for the past few days.

On the second floor of the hotel, the nobleman who had obtained the breathing technique wore a solemn expression beneath his mask.

"I have to leave. These people can't hold back any longer. Although I have the strength of a mid-level knight, it's still difficult to deal with so many people. Especially the one at the very back wearing the white wolf mask, he gives me an extremely dangerous feeling! That feeling is just like when I faced a peak knight."

"Damn it, this is a mission given to me by the Duke of Black Mountain. If I don't do it well, the Duke will definitely be very disappointed in me." The middle-aged nobleman had a headache.

At night, Li Wei meditated with his eyes closed in a small inn.

[Black Snake Breathing Technique Proficiency +89]

"The Black Serpent Breathing Technique is increasing my experience gain faster and faster."

Li Wei was talking to himself.

"I should be able to become a high-ranking knight this year."

"Unfortunately, the Black Serpent Elixir is about to run out. Where can we find it? Do we have to go to the Tuva Empire?"

Livy had never been to the Tuva Empire. This neighboring country didn't have a good relationship with the Emerald Kingdom, and he didn't speak Tuva, so he wouldn't be able to communicate there.

"Wait, I have a proficiency panel. If I buy some Tuvan language books, I wonder if they can be turned into skills and then I can grind for proficiency."

Although there are few books about the Tuvan language, they do exist.

Just as Li Wei was about to practice the Vortex Beast Breathing Technique, the commotion outside made his eyes flicker.

Since mastering "basic vibration perception", Li Wei's perception has become increasingly acute.

He fed a piece of jerky into his gaping maw, put on the white wolf mask, stretched his limbs, and then, like a nimble wildcat, vaulted out of the small inn's window.

……

Outside the city, a middle-aged nobleman rode his horse across the wilderness.

Beside him was a wandering knight.

These are mercenaries he recruited at the Shining Tavern to protect himself.

With two official knights, that should be enough to break through.

As long as that top-tier knight wearing the white wolf mask doesn't make a move.

With a whoosh, a cold arrow struck, nearly hitting the middle-aged nobleman.

"Give me the breathing technique, and you can leave."

Four knights caught up with them.

Soon, a fierce battle began.

The sound of ping-pong balls clashing against each other could be heard.

Li Wei hid far away, watching the battle in the distance.

At first, with the help of mercenaries, the middle-aged nobleman was able to hold his own against the bandits with his mid-level knight skills, and even had the upper hand.

But it wasn't long before the middle-aged nobleman was at a disadvantage.

He underestimated the allure of non-bloodline breathing techniques.

A mid-ranking knight wearing a ghost mask also charged into the battlefield.

Realizing he was outmatched, the middle-aged nobleman had no choice but to unleash his final trump card.

"Stop! I am a retainer of the Duke of Black Mountain, here on his orders. Do you know what it means to lay a hand on me?"

The middle-aged nobleman sneered and revealed his identity.

"If we kill you, who will know it was us?"

These outlaws completely disregarded this.

Although the Duke of Black Mountain is powerful, they are not his vassals, and the wandering knights are fearless!

"you?!"

Suddenly, the sound of arrows whistling rang out!

puff.

The middle-aged nobleman stared in disbelief at the cold arrow piercing his heart, then turned his head to look in the direction of the arrow.

The white wolf mask slowly appeared, revealing Li Wei.

The middle-aged nobleman slowly collapsed, filled with resentment.

The other bandits swarmed forward, trying to seize the breathing technique.

Li Wei continued to draw his bow and nock an arrow.

Bang bang bang!

Arrow after arrow.

With Li Wei's unerring archery skills, apart from fully armed formal knights, there were no exceptions.

The other small fry were completely powerless to resist.

Those who try to learn breathing techniques are the ones who die the fastest.

Soon, very few people were still alive.

"Who are you?"

The mid-ranking knight wearing the ghost mask charged toward Li Wei under the moonlight.

Li Wei drew out the sorrow of frost!

Frostwolf, speed up!

Ripples shattered the void!

Ripple Slash!

Giant Bear species erupt!

Click.

The masked man's longsword was severed, but Frostmourne's momentum remained undiminished, cleaving through his chainmail.

With a roar, Li Wei cleaved the mid-level knight in two at the waist!

A one-sided massacre.

Before long, among those still alive, only Li Wei and the dying middle-aged nobleman remained.

"Are you one of the Duke of Black Mountain's men?" Levi asked.

"That's right, you actually dared to lay a hand on the Duke of Black Mountain's retainers..." The middle-aged nobleman said weakly to Li Wei, his heart pierced and he wouldn't live much longer.

puff.

Frostmourne pierced his skull.

Li Wei drew his longsword. "I'm going to kill you."

He quickly cleaned up the battlefield and found the "Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique" he wanted on the middle-aged nobleman. In addition, there were more than 300 gold coins and an ancient parchment that did not look like a diagram of the breathing technique's inheritance. It was covered with all sorts of complicated hand seals.

""Notes on Expelling Spirits"".

Li Wei glanced at it briefly, then his breathing quickened.

"This is the real surprise!!!"
