Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 82 Fifth-Order Human-Faced Spider! (2nd Update! Please Subscribe)

The year 1008 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of the North Wind.

The holy city was bustling with activity.

Five days until the 300th anniversary celebration.

Li Wei emerged from his meditative state.

He opened his eyes and looked at his arm, the fine hairs rising and falling with Li Wei's breathing.

Outside the street, the movements of passing pedestrians or carriages were all transmitted to Li Wei's hairs and skin through the vibrations of the earth and air.

For an instant.

Livy is like an Amazonian tarantula, keenly observant, always waiting for its prey to come to it.

"I've reached the fifth level of the Human-Faced Spider Breathing Technique. My perception range is much larger now. It's no longer ten meters in diameter; it feels like it's twenty meters." Li Wei muttered to himself.

He opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei —

Human-faced Spider Breathing Technique: Level 5 (1/30000), Special Effects: Intermediate Vibration Perception, Spider Sensing.

……

"So far, the spider sense hasn't given any warnings, so it seems I'm relatively safe in the near future. Well, with my strength and low profile, it's hard for me not to be safe."

"I don't know what's going on with the territory either. Oh well, I can't worry about it too much; it's no use worrying anyway."

Li Wei smiled wryly, realizing that he had been away from the territory for so long without even noticing.

"Besides mastering the fifth level of the Spider-Faced Breathing Technique, I've also entered the beginner level of the Azure Falcon Breathing Technique. I'm getting the beginner level faster and faster now."

"The secret ingredients for the Azure Falcon Breathing Technique aren't difficult to obtain; they're all common items. I'll try to grind it to its limit within six months. If my prediction is correct, this breathing technique can reach level five. Based on the nature of the proficiency panel, a level five limit breathing technique should be equivalent to two level four limit breathing techniques. So, the remaining two points of progress for breaking through the limit of the Siren Breathing Technique should be secured."

Li Wei felt his life was fulfilling as he experienced each step of improvement and growth.

After getting up and eating something, Li Wei went to the Shining Tavern.

The auction is over, and Li Wei has to go get the money.

He was also eager to see how much money he would make from selling the mithril armor he had crafted.

The Wild Dog Rider has been nowhere to be seen lately; he's probably busy with his own business.

Li Wei and he agreed to meet at the Holy City Ceremony so that they could witness the great knight's feat of tearing apart the earth dragon beast.

Upon arriving at the Shining Tavern, the staff immediately recognized Master Terra from the iconic, imposing golden mask.

"Master, the auction is a complete success. Your Silver Scale Armor has been purchased by a major client in the inner city for a high price of three hundred gold coins."

"The forging industry in the Holy City is now in an uproar. They probably never imagined that there are still legendary craftsmen alive in this world."

"Many important figures want to inquire about you from us. Compared to ordinary armor, wealthy people prefer custom-made, well-fitting armor."

The staff member said excitedly backstage.

Li Wei was very satisfied. The three hundred gold coins mentioned by the staff were Tuva coins, which, when converted to the standard gold coins of the Emerald Kingdom, would be a full six hundred gold coins!

This price is astronomical.

One reason is that the cost is already very high due to the addition of mithril.

On the other hand, there's the brand effect of the craftsmen.

This is because the people of the Holy City had never heard of the craftsman, Golden Warhammer, before. As Golden Warhammer's fame grows, the value of his brand will increase even more.

Of course, the same scarcity marketing strategy is still necessary.

Li Wei only needs to ensure that he earns enough money for his cultivation, and that he always has some spare money on him.

Overall, disregarding Li Wei's time cost, this Silver Scale Armor is a net profit of over 500 gold, a huge profit!

Li Wei only needs to sell one or two pieces a month. A normal craftsman, working tirelessly for a month, with the help of many apprentices and blacksmiths, can only produce a maximum of two pieces of armor.

If Li Wei were to unleash his full potential in forging, he could easily produce more than a dozen pieces in a month, but that would interfere too much with his cultivation, leaving him unable to do anything else.

I've arranged the next delivery time with the staff.

Li Wei went to the bounty section again and learned from the staff that someone had contacted him.

Li Wei's heart stirred, and he went to the private room.

The other person was also wearing a mask, with a hunched and thin body. Although dressed in commoners' clothes, there was a hidden aristocratic air about them.

Li Wei could sense the air of weariness emanating from the other person; he seemed to be very old.

"Young man, do you need ambergris?" the man asked, his voice deep and weathered.

"That's right." Li Wei naturally couldn't place all his hopes on the Holy City Ceremony four days later. Moreover, he knew that the ambergris from a single earth dragon beast could at most allow him to cultivate to the level of a high-ranking knight. The peak level and the Great Knight level would also require ambergris. In short, the more of this stuff, the better.

"I know someone who has ambergris. That person not only has ambergris, but also an egg of a dragon beast, the one that was laid by the dragon beast that will be killed by the Imperial Fist in four days." This person made a startling statement.

"I don't need the eggs of the earth dragon beast. I only need ambergris. If you have ambergris, I'm willing to buy it at market price. I'll buy as much as you have. If you don't have it, there's no need to waste my time," Li Wei said impatiently.

It's uncertain whether the earth dragon's eggs can hatch. Even if they can, it's unknown how long it will take for them to grow to the age where they can be harvested for ambergris. Unlike the Northern Giant Bear, which only takes seven or eight years to reach adulthood, these creatures need at least several decades.

He didn't want to become someone else's pawn for no reason; this person clearly wanted to use Li Wei to do something shady.

"The inner city's Treasurer, McCain, has a statue made of ambergris in his mansion. It was a gift from his son-in-law for his sixtieth birthday. I don't know how much ambergris you need, but I imagine a two-foot-tall statue made of pure solid ambergris would be worth a fortune, wouldn't you?"

After the man finished speaking, Li Wei's heart couldn't help but change slightly.

If this is true, then McCain and his son-in-law are incredibly wasteful.

They actually solidified such precious ambergris into a deity statue.

"Is this the world of the great men?" Li Wei suddenly felt a deep sense of dread towards the Duke of Black Mountain.

The Minister of Finance of the Tuva Empire held a position similar to that of the Duke of Montenegro.

I hunted earth dragons and traveled thousands of miles for this little bit of ambergris, and did menial work every day, and these damned big shots use it as a deity? How ridiculous!

"Who is Maika's son-in-law?" Levi asked.

"Emperor Mu"

The person slowly uttered a name.

Li Wei was taken aback. He had heard of the name Emperor Mu.

During this period, in the preparation for the grand ceremony, this person's other name was mentioned time and time again.

To the people of the holy city of Landis, this man is a living legend.

He is the empire's strongest warrior, the guardian of the holy city, and the leader of the Storm Knights.

His brilliance even surpassed that of the emperor.

"Imperial Fist! Emperor Mu!"
