Becoming Great Knight at the age of twenty is nothing short of a fantasy to others! Even the White Horse Knight, who is hailed as a genius, was well past the age of twenty when he became Great Knight.

However, Levi now has a sufficient supply of Ambergris and a plentiful supply of Black Snake Secret Medicine. He estimates that, at his current rate of training with Black Snake Medicine, he can reach the Seventh Rank of Black Snake Breathing Technique in the second half of this year and become Peak Knight.

And next year should be enough time for him to train the Black Snake Breathing Technique to Eighth Rank and become Great Knight! Looking to the future and stretching his limbs, Levi walked out of the Sanctuary.

The Demon Shark stood there quietly in standby mode, maintaining a low-power state, completely still.

Levi stood on the city wall, breathing in the fresh air.

High in the sky above the territory, the snow-white Harris blends into the sky, flying freely.

In this situation, nothing usually happens.

If something happens, Harris will honk its horn sharply as an alarm.

The Three Brothers' bodies, which had been injured by the Great Knight, have now fully recovered.

Their size grew larger and larger, resembling a rhinoceros, with an astonishing tonnage.

Their appetites increased daily, and if Levi hadn't been a wealthy Baron, an ordinary Baron territory would have been completely devoured by them.

Sam is now the only one left at the place where Fred once trained his soldiers.

Sam had a good talent for Breathing Technique, which pleased Fred when he was alive.

Unfortunately, even though Sam eventually became Formal Knight, Fred never got to see it.

With the continuous improvement of the Forging industry, Blackwater Valley can now grow and thrive on its own without any additional investment from Levi.

The battle against the Great Knight proved the powerful role of the Crimson Blood Cavalry. Combined with the Three Brothers and infantry, the Crimson Blood Cavalry can also cause great trouble for the Great Knight. The current premise is to achieve an overwhelming advantage in numbers, so the construction of the army in the territory continues.

The year 1009 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Warmth.

For the past month, Levi has continued his spiritual practice, sword training, and occasionally blacksmithing and medicine making.

However, in addition to this, he would also take time out of his busy schedule to learn painting techniques and copy masterpieces. He practiced copying not to cultivate his mind, but because it would be very useful for his upcoming trip to Icewind City.

Icewind City, Silver Mountain Stronghold.

"Terra Master," wearing Golden Mask, strode up to the front of Earl Silver Mountain's castle.

In the car behind him were three sets of Mithril armor and Mithril weapons that Forging during this period.

Levi eventually reached a cooperation agreement with the Earl Silver Mountain of Earl Silver Mountain, who would provide Mithril and raw materials, and Levi would Forging Mithril armor and Mithril weapons for him, three sets per month, which is the limit for a normal Master Smith.

Of course, the truth is that Levi finished Forging in five days.

The Earl Silver Mountain will provide a customization fee of 300 gold coins per set, with a total of 100 sets to be customized over a period of three years.

The 300 gold coin customization fee was a discount that Levi gave to the Earl Silver Mountain. After all, it was a large-volume custom order, and all the materials were provided by the Earl Silver Mountain, so it wouldn't be good to charge too much.

In return for the preferential treatment Levi offered, the Earl Silver Mountain was to provide Levi with a copy of the Bloodline Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram from his collection.

Levi's reason was that he no longer had any pursuit of Forging. He was also a Breathing Technique Collector and wanted to see more Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram in order to study ancient mythology.

Levi naturally had no hope of obtaining the authentic, unique copy of the Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram. Earl Silver Mountain was a collector himself and would not part with Levi; he wasn't short of money anyway.

Therefore, Levi only hoped to obtain some "fake copies" through copying, and see if he could cultivate himself through them.

That's right, that's why Levi practiced copying during this period.

Earl Silver Mountain naturally agreed. Many people collect Breathing Technique for the purpose of studying some occult knowledge, or simply to show off their taste and wealth.

As for selling these counterfeit Bloodline Breathing Technique for money? Only a fool would buy them!

Genuine copies of the Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram have been passed down since ancient times, and their specific origins are unverifiable. In any case, various noble families all claim that they were created by their ancestors.

Especially the unique, rustic parchment, which is completely different from the parchment used by people in this era; otherwise, it would not have been able to withstand the erosion of time and survive to this day.

Therefore, it is easy to tell whether the Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram is genuine or not at a glance. As for the Bloodline Breathing Technique, apart from the genuine rare copy, other fake copies have no collection value.

There have been cases of people selling counterfeit versions of non- Bloodline Breathing Technique, but very few people actually bought them.

Because with forgeries, it's impossible to determine their authenticity or the accuracy of the copy.

Even the slightest change in Breathing Technique can have serious consequences, because it is common for practitioners of counterfeit practices to Cultivation Deviation.

In the eyes of the Earl Silver Mountain, the bloodline Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram in his collection was no different from the paintings exhibited in the art museum.

Simply by giving Terra Master some counterfeit copies of the Bloodline Breathing Technique, one can gain tangible benefits and the Master's favor. Why not? Earl Silver Mountain's castle is magnificent. Although it cannot compare to the cathedral of Icewind City, it is still the second tallest building in Icewind City.

His retainers Knight were waiting for Levi's arrival.

"Welcome, Terra Master. To celebrate our first collaboration, the Earl has prepared a sumptuous feast for you," the retainer said with a smile.

"It's my pleasure."

After Levi went inside.

The retainers had the Formal Blacksmith under the Earl Silver Mountain inspect the goods.

"How was it? You didn't just brush us off, did you?" the retainer asked.

The Forging carefully observed the appearance, design, and texture of the armor Levi had Forging, caressing the cold metal.

Then, he had other people compare and spar with the weapons and armor Forging by ordinary Forging and those forged by Terra Master.

It also incorporates Mithril, with the same material ratio.

However, after comparative experiments, these people were shocked to discover that the armor and weapons crafted by Terra Master far surpassed those of them, the Forging, in terms of internal quality, aesthetic appearance, and ingenious design.

Originally, these Formal Blacksmith under the Earl Silver Mountain were somewhat resentful that the Earl had chosen Terra Master, an outsider, instead of them, believing that the Earl looked down on their skill level.

Now they were completely convinced; it was only right that the Earl looked down on them.

As expected of Legendary Master Smith, this Forging skill is simply divine and exquisite! "Is this the difference between us and the master? This is too great."

"Indeed, there is no comparison. The master's understanding and skills in Forging are far superior to ours."

"I really want to ask the master for advice..."

Upon seeing this, the retainer finally smiled with satisfaction.

The reception room of Silver Mountain Castle.

"Master, please have some," Earl Silver Mountain said, pointing to a table laden with food.

"Your Excellency, no need. I just finished eating when I arrived, and I really can't eat anymore," Levi said helplessly.

"Alright, then come with me, Master, and let me show you the collection of my Silver Mountain." Earl Silver Mountain stood up and said with a smile.

Levi followed the Earl Silver Mountain through a long corridor and then into a large rotunda.

On the walls of this rotunda, there are exquisitely framed Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram, like oil paintings hanging on the wall.

Levi was thrilled. He looked at the circle of Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram; it was simply paradise for him.

Seemingly sensing Levi's excitement, Earl Silver Mountain was quite pleased. To be able to excite a Master Smith like this, it seemed that his collection was indeed quite good.

"Master, all the Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram my Silver Mountain, totaling twenty-two, are here."

"I wonder how many of these paintings the master has collected?" Earl Silver Mountain asked with a smile, speaking in a tone of conversation among fellow connoisseurs.

"I only have a few pieces in my collection. I've just started in this business, so it's definitely not comparable to the Earl's collection," Levi said helplessly.

"Damn it, if only I had a camera, I could photograph all these inheritance diagrams one by one and take them back to cultivate. There would be no need to copy them at all." Levi's mind wandered for a moment.

What others consider a useless Bloodline Breathing Technique, something only good for collecting, is Levi's Supreme Treasure.

Earl Silver Mountain smiled and said, "Master, these seventeen Breathing Technique displayed outside are merely rudimentary Bloodline Breathing Technique, not worth mentioning. Let me show you something better."

Earl Silver Mountain had finally met a fellow Breathing Technique Collector who shared his passion. Eager to show off, he led Levi to the center of the hall and gently pressed a mechanism.

Then, a stone display stand slowly rose up.

There are five Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram.

"Of these five Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram, four are of excellent quality and one is of perfect quality."

"They belong to five great families that are in no way inferior to our Silver Mountain Family in history."

"Times have passed, Seas Change, Fields Transform. These families have long since disappeared into the dust of history," Earl Silver Mountain sighed.

Most nobles in this world place great importance on family lineage, and Levi's mindset is among the minority.

Levi glanced at the perfect-level Breathing Technique and saw a Bipedal Behemoth that spewed flames enjoying the worship of hundreds of tiny people.

Good heavens, there are over a hundred little figures on it! Is this the perfect quality Breathing Technique? It's truly extraordinary! "This is the Red Lotus Breathing Technique, the best quality Breathing Technique among all my collections. It is the Bloodline Breathing Technique of the Red Lotus Family, which perished six hundred years ago. Their family also produced a Great Knight who was almost Legendary Realm: the Red Lotus Knight."

Unfortunately, the Great Knight only appeared briefly before disappearing. If the Red Lotus Knight had successfully advanced to the Legendary Realm, then the "Red Lotus Breathing Technique" would not be of perfect quality, but of the Legendary Realm quality.

In other words, it was the Legendary Knight who made the Legendary Realm Breathing Technique, not the Breathing Technique. There is no essential difference between a perfect quality Breathing Technique Legendary Knight Legendary Realm quality Breathing Technique.

Terra Master, what you may not know is that my Silver Mountain Family's Bloodline Breathing Technique is also... of perfect quality.

If one day I achieve Legendary Realm, then my Silver Mountain Family will become a Legendary Realm family! Therefore, I sincerely invite you to join our Silver Mountain Stronghold. Only Legendary Realm family can truly honor Legendary Master Smith like you! If you would be willing to join my ranks, I would gladly give you one or two genuine copies of the excellent Breathing Technique I possess."

The Silver Mountain Knight exuded a powerful aura, like a proud and confident silver behemoth!

Levi was slightly taken aback. This Silver Mountain Knight seemed to be no ordinary earl.

He hadn't expected that the Silver Mountain Family's Breathing Technique was actually at the perfect level, even more advanced than his own Black Serpent Family's Breathing Technique.

Of the Northern Seven Horsemen, as far as Levi knew, only the Breathing Technique of the Black Mountain Ducal Family was the perfect Breathing Technique.

Now it seems that we need to add another Earl Silver Mountain.

"My lord, I appreciate your kindness, but although I am merely a Master Smith, I dislike being dependent on others. I have always believed that heroes create families, not families create heroes," Levi said.

This surprised Earl Silver Mountain slightly, then he smiled and said, "Alright, it seems that the master's ambitions lie elsewhere, so I will not force you."

Earl Silver Mountain put the display stand containing the five Breathing Technique back down.

In his deal with Levi, he only allowed Levi to copy the crude bloodline Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram outside, excluding these five.

"The Earl's collection is truly extensive; it may take me quite a while to complete my copying," Levi exclaimed sincerely.

"These Breathing Technique may seem useless, but they are indeed the result of a lot of effort I put into collecting them. As long as you don't damage my original, please feel free to copy them. If you get hungry, I will have my servants bring you food. If you are sleepy, there are plenty of rooms in the castle for you to sleep in."

"That's what Earl Silver Mountain said politely."

"Then thank you very much, Your Excellency."

Accompanied by the Silver Mountain Knight Levi then observed the other seventeen Breathing Technique. The vast majority of these were power- and speed-oriented Breathing Technique, with a small portion focusing on physical constitution and defense.

However, there is no sensory Breathing Technique method similar to the Human-Faced Spider Breathing Technique.

This demonstrates the unique nature of the Human-Faced Spider Breathing Technique.

After reading it, Levi took out the drawing board, parchment, and brush and ink that he had prepared in advance.

He sat down on the ground and, under the watchful eye of the Silver Mountain Knight, began to copy the painting.

At first, Levi Wei intended to find any painter in Icewind City.

After witnessing the artist's skill firsthand, and in order to avoid Cultivation Deviation from practicing the fake Breathing Technique, he decided to do it himself.

He has the confidence to do this personally.

With a thought, the Proficiency Panel in Levi's mind appeared.

In addition to the three life skills of Forging, Potion Making, Animal Taming, a new life skill has been added: Imitation: Second Order (1/5000).

Previously, Levi had been practicing his copying skills at home and had already mastered the art to the Second Order.
