Collective Advancement! Dragon Spine, Bearing the Burden, Burning Blood Ash!
At the end of 1022.
Following the five ultimate tricks: Insect Control Art, Dew of the Flower Fairy, Wither Ray, Water Arrow Technique, and Tidal Grip.
Levi finally mastered the sixth magic trick.
This marked his formal entry into the ranks of High-Grade Wizard Apprentice.
Levi put on the Sun Patterned Magic Robe sent by the Gray-White Tower. These robes were ordinary clothes, at most made of better material, and did not have any spells solidified on them. They were similar to the "school uniform" in his previous life.
Before Levi obtained the Flying Fish Robe, he always wore his school uniform inside the Gray-White Tower, with a Frost Giant Armor underneath.
However, since the Frost Giant Armor Frost Giant Armor now damaged, Levi temporarily put it away and did not rush to melt it down.
Melting it down only resulted in some more Mithril, which wouldn't be of much help to Levi at this point.
This Frost Giant Armor was forged by the powerful Witch Gulveig of the Frost School when she was in the Mortal World.
This witch is a Legendary Realm figure in the Wizard World.
In less than a thousand years, it rose like a comet.
This allowed the once-declining Frost School to shine once more.
Therefore, Levi felt that this was armor forged by a powerful figure.
Keeping it might play some unexpected roles.
White Tower.
On Mai Lin's side.
Levi wore a brand-new robe, and Mai Lin looked pleased.
"That's impressive. With your talent as the Child of Chaos, you've become High-Grade Wizard Apprentice. I can imagine the effort you've put in. Just like the Tower Master said when you first came in, never be discouraged because you're the Child of Chaos. Wizarding talent is important, but it doesn't determine everything about you or define your future. Many of the powerful figures in the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council today started out with ordinary talent."
"Yes, teacher, I will work even harder in the future and will not let you and the tower master down," Levi said solemnly.
After learning that he had advanced to the High-Grade Wizard Apprentice, Mai Lin called him over.
"As my Potion Making apprentice, I should give you a gift after you advance, but I don't have anything good here. I'll just give you a recipe for First Ring potion. I hope you can advance to a formal pharmacist soon." Mai Lin solemnly handed Levi a Memory Stone Slab with the recipe recorded on it.
"This prescription is useless to me now, but if you can successfully refine it, it will greatly benefit your cultivation," Mai Lin added.
"Thank you, teacher. I will definitely become a certified pharmacist." Levi received the prescription.
He was truly grateful to Teacher Mai Lin.
When I become successful and powerful in the future, I must never forget the kindness my teacher showed me.
Repay kindness with kindness, settle scores with grievances, and live life to the fullest by doing good and evil!
"It's alright. I've finally found such a talented apprentice, so I certainly won't let you bury your talent," Mai Lin said.
I chatted with the teacher for a while and learned that the tower master is still in seclusion, and it seems that he has reached the most critical moment.
Levi could only hope that the Tower Master would succeed, advance to the Third Ring as soon as possible, and take charge of the Gray-White Tower, so that they would have the power to resist threats like Whale Song Lonely Island.
After saying goodbye to his teachers, Levi went to the rooms of Teacher Marco and Mr. Tim, who also gave full recognition to Levi's progress.
Besides these teachers, other apprentices and senior sister Winnie also sent their congratulations to Levi.
Whether these congratulations were sincere or not, they still put Levi in a good mood and gave him a greater sense of belonging and identification with the Gray-White Tower.
Since entering the Wizard World in the year 1017 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, nearly six years have passed. Levi has gone from Low-Grade Wizard Apprentice to High-Grade Wizard Apprentice, and then from Great Knight to Legendary Knight.
From an unknown newbie to a still unknown rookie, the only thing he can talk about is his Legendary Knight status.
However, for wizards, such fodder for conversation only lasts a few days. Now, in this sea area, everyone has long forgotten about the Legendary Knight, Levi.
This is exactly what Levi hoped for: to grow stronger quietly and develop silently, consistently.
Back on the ninth floor of the Gray Tower, Levi took out the Memory Stone Slab, wanting to see what kind of prescription his teacher had given him as a reward.
After Levi finished reading the contents of the Memory Stone Slab, he was startled.
The prescription recorded on this Memory Stone Slab is actually an extremely precious formula for Meditation Aid Potion.
First Ring Potion: The Deep Slumber of the Sandman.
It is also known as the "Sandman Potion".
This is a Meditation Aid Potion suitable for First Ring and apprentice stages.
The value of this prescription is invaluable.
Meditation Aid Potion are strategic-level potions for many large organizations because they represent a difference in the speed at which wizards cultivate.
In small wizarding organizations, Meditation Aid Potion are generally only available to Formal Wizard, as the production is so limited that they are simply not available to Wizard Apprentice.
The Formal Wizard of the Gray-White Tower only barely achieved the freedom to create Meditation Aid Potion after Mai Lin advanced to the Second-Ring Potion Maker. Due to the high price of raw materials, this kind of potion could not be popularized among apprentices, and even if they were made, they could not afford to buy it.
Even in the Gray-White Tower, where there are Second-Ring Potion Maker, Meditation Aid Potion are so scarce. The situation is even more dire for other wizarding organizations.
If one is a chosen Child of Element or possesses other high talents, their cultivation speed won't be too slow. For example, Levi's cultivation speed with Earth Meditation Technique and Sun Meditation Technique is quite good.
However, if one is Child of Chaos, then one is basically destined to be Formal Wizard. Since one's talent is not good to begin with, and one does not take drugs, how could one possibly become Formal Wizard?
It's like playing a game. If you're already unlucky and don't spend money, what's the point of playing?
Levi's Deep Sea Meditation Technique is a case in point. Although it was the earliest to Meditation Technique, it was overtaken by the later Earth Meditation Technique and has yet to reach the Third Order.
This made Levi realize how painful it is to have no talent and not be able to take drugs.
If I can brew the "Sandman Potion," my wizard training speed will be able to reach a new level.
According to the prescription description, the Sandman Potion can increase the meditation efficiency of apprentices by 50%, increase the meditation efficiency of First-Circle Wizard by 10%, increase the efficiency of Second-Ring Wizard by only 1%, and has no effect on intermediate and High-Rank Wizard.
"Fifty percent."
Levi was thrilled.
He has just broken through to the Third Order of Earth Meditation Technique. Without the aid of Meditation Potion, even with Levi's current talent in Earth Pulse, it would take him at least five years to grind to the Third-Order Limit and prepare to break through to the stage of becoming Formal Wizard.
If Levi can consistently take the Meditation Technique potion, he can raise the Earth Meditation Technique to the Third-Order Limit within three years and then begin to try to break through to become Formal Wizard.
The difference is still quite obvious.
Levi wanted to become Formal Wizard before he turned forty, giving him at least 160 years to become Second-Ring Wizard, break through the shackles of Legendary Knight, and explore new realms. In fact, considering the increased lifespan from becoming Legendary Knight, Levi would have even more time.
Of course, such an amazing potion requires ingredients that are not easy to find.
However, Levi had recently acquired a lot of rare potion materials in the Dread Realm, so he had also extracted and collected some of them.
The remaining potion ingredients may be difficult to collect completely at the Black Sail Wizard Market, so we should expand our search and look for them in other markets in other sea areas.
Since Levi has money now, the most urgent task is to convert that money into real combat power.
Levi immediately went to the materials shop, gave Manla a list and some money as a favor, and asked Manla to use his connections and networks to help him collect as many potion materials as possible.
He himself also began to work hard to raise his Potion Making skills to Seventh Rank.
The year 1023 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Vitality.
The messenger delivered a letter from the Mortal World.
When Levi opened it, he found it was from Andrew.
Inside the Storage Bag were some Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram.
Unfortunately, this time the Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram did not contain the kind that Levi wanted, such as the Breathing Technique of the Iron Crocodile Clan.
He had written to Andrew asking him to keep an eye out for them, but Andrew replied that after the Black Mountain Rebellion, the Iron Crocodile Family, which had also joined the Black Mountain uprising, was exterminated by the Royal Family after the rebellion was quelled, and their family's Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram had disappeared, possibly ending up in the Royal Family treasury.
So Andrew asked Levi if he wanted to sneak into the Royal Family treasury. Given his Blood Clan status, he should be able to do it. In that case, all the Royal Family treasures would be Levi's.
Levi thought to himself that Andrew was really brave, even more reckless than he had been back then, actually trying to rob the King's Treasury!
He thought about it and decided to let Andrew wait for the time being. He didn't want to sacrifice Andrew, who was a very useful Mortal World agent, for the sake of the Iron Crocodile Breathing Technique, which would be a complete loss.
In addition, Andrew also brought some clues about the Van Helsing Family, based on the speculation of Anderson Knight.
The Van Helsing Family's legacy most likely fell into the hands of the Holy Radiance Church and was sealed away on Mount Paradise.
Mount Paradise is an important the Church, and many important things are sealed Mount Paradise.
No one knows what level of powerhouse is guarding Mount Paradise, because since ancient times, no one who has dared to trespass into Mount Paradise, not even Legendary Knight, has ever returned alive.
"Once the Church is involved, things get complicated. Trying to cause trouble on Mount Paradise is no fun at all."
You know, recently all the major the Church have been claiming that their saints have descended. In such a special time, Levi thought about it and realized that he probably didn't have the ability to cause trouble in the Church.
Even if Levi had the power to overthrow the ordinary the Church, it wouldn't mean anything. On the contrary, it would anger the Heavenly Father of the Astral Realm. Even Legendary Wizard choose to live in seclusion and avoid contact with the Seven True Gods. The Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council has even passed a law stipulating that wizards cannot have conflicts with the Church in the Mortal World. This shows that even with the current strength of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council, it cannot guarantee that it can withstand the wrath of the gods.
Levi, a mere newbie who isn't even First-Circle Wizard and has only been practicing for two and a half years, shouldn't be courting death.
"Forget it, let's wait and see. We need to wait for the right opportunity. The Demon Tide is reviving, and the Mortal World is undergoing a great upheaval unseen in thousands of years. Even the Church may find it difficult to remain calm and detached as it has in the past. Because the rise and fall of dynasties and families in the past were basically matters of the mortal world, and had little impact on a behemoth like the Church. But this Demon Tide tide is different. Power from other powerful beings in multiple dimensions is infiltrating the Mortal World and fighting against the gods. Therefore, the major the Church have to quickly declare that their saints are about to descend in order to appease the people and deal with the impending disaster of the Demon Tide."
"If one day a powerful Demon Tide attacks Mount Paradise, I'll see if I can take advantage of the chaos."
Levi temporarily suppressed his thoughts about the Van Helsing Family legacy.
Anyway, with Dance of the Fire God and Earth Pulse, one offensive and one defensive, it's more than enough. There's no need to force a four-element affinity.
Finally, Andrew's letter also mentioned that after receiving the Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram from Levi, Anderson Knight went into seclusion and seemed to have gained some insights. Anderson Knight asked Andrew to convey his thanks to Levi and also asked Andrew to send over a Breathing Technique he had recently acquired as a return gift, hoping it would provide some guidance and reference for Levi to break through the shackles of the Legendary Realm status.
Levi found the Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram in his Storage Bag.
Upon seeing the name of this Breathing Technique, he paused for a moment, then gave a helpless smile.
The Black Whale Breathing Technique.
This Breathing Technique evoked Levi's memories of his past life on Mortal World.
It reminded him of the days when he was just a little bird, working himself to the bone every day under the terrifying shadow of the Black Mountain Duke.
Perhaps, without the pressure from the Black Mountain Duke, Levi wouldn't have become Legendary Knight so quickly.
After entering the Wizard World, although Levi occasionally encountered enemies, he never met one who posed such a great threat and oppressive feeling as the Black Mountain Duke.
The Black Whale Breathing Technique: A powerful Breathing Technique of perfect quality.
Although Levi has many power-type Breathing Technique now, only the Red Lotus Breathing Technique and this Black Whale Breathing Technique are of perfect quality.
The Black Whale, full name: Mountain-Carrying Black Whale, is the emblem of the Black Mountain Family. In mythology, it is also known as the Sky-Swimming Black Whale.
Legend has it that this giant whale spends its entire life wandering in the void, using endless multidimensional planes and even Astral Realm as its ocean.
Above the Black Whale lies a vast landmass, upon which resides a kingdom called the "Black Mountain Empire." This is a kingdom on the Whale Back, and the people of the Black Mountain Empire never leave its Whale Back for their entire lives. They revere the Black Whale Black Whale as a god, worship it as their master, and call it "Whale Lord."
This is also the origin of the name of the Duke of Black Mountain's Ducal Family. The Black Mountain Duke wanted to establish an imaginary Black Mountain Empire, but unfortunately, he failed.
Today, the Black Mountain Family has been completely wiped out.
Even the Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram somehow fell into the hands of Anderson Knight, and now, after many twists and turns, it has finally been obtained by Levi.
The Secret Medicine of the Black Whale Breathing Technique is not hard to find: the blood of a powerful whale, the more powerful the better.
In the Mortal World, narwhals are the most common prey, but in this Wizard World, Levi couldn't help but turn his gaze to the Dragon King Whale, carefree and spouting water on the beach...
In any case, it's Leviathan that's going to get hurt.
After obtaining the Black Whale Breathing Technique, Levi mastered the basics of this Breathing Technique.
This Breathing Technique has a high ceiling and great potential for development, so Levi naturally cannot give it up.
The year 1023 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Budding.
Kane has been gone for two years.
The Outlaw Levi remains at large undoubtedly chills the hearts of Kane and his son in the Yellow Springs.
After two years of waiting, Levi felt it was time to turn Kane into Living Dead. However, to be on the safe side, Levi decided to wait a little longer to prevent being "fished" by the Investigation Bureau.
We've already waited two years, so what's another six months?
It's not too late to go after six months when my strength has improved considerably.
With this in mind, Levi patiently waited.
In the small material shop in White Sail Alley, Manla was busy finding a lot of materials for Levi to make the Sandman Potion.
In return, in addition to giving Manla some Great Stone as a reward for his efforts, Levi also asked Mai Lin to help Manla's daughter contact the only Storm Faction wizard in the Sighing Sea Breeze.
Because this wizard belonged to the Storm Faction, he didn't have many Wizard Apprentice. In addition, Dora's talent for being compatible with all three elements was already quite good, so the two sides hit it off immediately and happily accepted Dora as an apprentice.
Mai Lin had a good opinion of this wizard's character, and the relationship between the Sighing Sea Breeze and the Gray-White Tower was also good; they were mutually supportive. So, Manla could rest assured that Dora was training here.
Now that her daughter has found a good place, and her collaboration with Levi is thriving, Manla is in excellent spirits. As Manla's friend, Levi is happy to see this.
The year 1023 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.
Levi and Mu Di held their second team-building activity. In their final sparring match, Levi once again emerged victorious. However, Levi could sense that Mu Di's strength had improved compared to a year ago. A faint golden light emanated from his body with every gesture, as if Mu Di's blood was not crimson but golden.
Meanwhile, Mu Di's overall resilience and defensive capabilities were gradually increasing.
This further confirms Levi's guess that Mu Di must have inherited the legacy of the Golden Knight. It's just unknown how he inherited the Golden Bloodline. If he has mastered this bloodline grafting technique, then Mu Di may indeed break through to the Legendary Realm through other means in the future.
Of course, there is another possibility: Mu Di himself is a descendant of the Golden Knight Gerrick.
Everyone has their own destiny, so Levi stopped guessing.
No matter how strong he is, I have Proficiency Panel.
When the time is right, Levi will exchange Breathing Technique with Mu Di and learn the Breathing Technique of the Golden Knight and Mu Di.
Judging from Mu Di's performance, the Golden Knight's Breathing Technique is clearly defensive, which is exactly what Levi needs.
When the time comes, I'll cultivate this Breathing Technique to the Eleventh Order. Then, by merging and mutating it with my Black Snake Breathing Technique, it might mutate into a truly powerful Breathing Technique.
Levi was really looking forward to this day.
The Month of Harvest in the year 1023 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.
Kane has been gone for two and a half years.
In this harvest season.
Levi's journey of learning about liver disease has also yielded tremendous results.
As for the wizards, Levi Wei has already maxed out the sixth new spell, [Stone Skin Technique], to the Fourth-Order Limit.
Its defensive capabilities are second to none among passive magic tricks. With the Stone Skin Technique layered under the Solid Black Scale to protect him, Levi's sense of security has been greatly enhanced.
Furthermore, maxing out Stone Skin Technique will also help Levi learn the advanced Stone Skin Technique spell Stone Body, later on.
In terms of Meditation Technique, the Deep Sea Meditation Technique is steadily and slowly progressing towards the Third Order, while the Combustion Faction's Sun Meditation Technique is almost at the Third Order and is about to surpass the Deep Sea Meditation Technique, which makes Levi quite helpless.
I'm probably a fake apprentice of the Oceanic School. If I had known this would happen, I would have been so glad that wizard Ron assigned me to the Combustion Faction or the Earth Faction.
Besides his wizarding ways, Levi also gained a great deal from his Knight pursuits.
Having cultivated the newly acquired Black Whale Breathing Technique to the Eighth Rank, a new Extraordinary Strength has been born.
Eighth Rank Extraordinary Strength doesn't offer much of a boost to Levi right now. Only after the Black Whale Breathing Technique reaches Ninth Rank and Extraordinary Strength advances further can it truly unleash its potential.
In addition, he had also cultivated the Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique and the Phoenix Breathing Technique to the Ninth Rank.
The Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique reaches its limit after Ninth Rank.
Levi ————
Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique: Ninth Rank (Limit), Special Effect: Dragon Spine (Gaseous).
The Ninth Rank hunchbacked dragon's original Extraordinary Endurance has been upgraded to a new special effect: Dragon Spine.
[Dragon Spine: As a powerful Dragonkind, the spine of the Hunchback Dragon contains inexhaustible power. Black Qi gathers in your spine, granting you a trace of the Hunchback Dragon's endurance!]
Within Levi's body, as the Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique was practiced, Black Qi continuously surged from the giant beast with a camel hump above its heart and a high, towering back, resembling Spinosaurus. This Black Qi flowed through Levi's body and eventually converged on Levi's "main beam," that is, his spine.
This made Levi's spine look like a pitch-black pillar, terrifying and eerie.
Levi took a deep breath, and two long white smoke trails shot out from his nostrils. His back protruded, resembling the back of a dragon! If viewed from behind, one could vaguely see a black giant pillar piercing through Levi's back.
This is the "Dragon Spine"! Levi roughly estimates that this endurance is at least twice that of Extraordinary Endurance! Levi's Extraordinary Endurance was already powerful enough, but now that he has transformed into the Dragon Spine, his combat stamina will be even more abnormal, which can only be described as inhuman or monstrous.
The Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique was very powerful, and Levi did not hesitate.
He immediately incorporated the Blood Whale Breathing Technique and the few rudimentary Breathing Technique he had previously acquired into the Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique, allowing the Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique to break through its limits.
After integrating the Blood Whale Breathing Technique into the Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique, Levi noticed that the Blood Whale Sac had not disappeared and was still inside his body.
This organ, born from the Blood Whale Breathing Technique, has now become part of Levi's body, forming Levi internal organs along with his other internal organs.
This is good news for Levi.
Only with the Blood Whale Sac and the camel's hump can Li Wei's Dragon Spine receive a continuous source of energy! Levi can now go three years without eating, yet eat three years' worth of food in one sitting. These are the benefits these two organs bring to Levi.
This essentially eliminated the possibility of Levi becoming Knight Madman.
Levi was even more pleasantly surprised after reaching the Ninth Rank of the Phoenix Breathing Technique.
Levi —————
Phoenix Breathing Technique: Ninth Rank (11235/150000), Special Effect: Blood Ash (Gaseous), Rise from the Ashes.
[Blood Ash: The Black Qi from the Phoenix permeates your body, strengthening your blood, enhancing your physique, and reshaping your flesh. Your body has undergone a complete transformation; severed limbs regenerate, and flesh grows back from bones—this is not just a legend!]
It's only Ninth Rank Phoenix, yet it possesses such powerful special effects, truly deserving of the name "Phoenix."
Levi finally understood why the family behind this Breathing Technique had been destroyed. It was because this Breathing Technique was too powerful, too heaven-defying! Limbs could regenerate, and flesh could grow back from bones. This ability, comparable to a mid-level spell, came from a mortal Breathing Technique. Such an existence was bound to be a huge threat to the Church.
If the Blood Ash effect continues to evolve, how powerful will one's physique become? Rebirth from decapitation? Blood Rebirth? Undying and Indestructible? In short, endless possibilities! Perhaps, the Knight can help Levi achieve the path to immortality he seeks.
After all, the Phoenix is known as an immortal being.
The second special effect of the Phoenix Breathing Technique is even more outrageous.
[Rise from the Ashes: Where Ashes dance, fire reignites. When your body suffers a fatal blow, it forcibly extends your life, preventing death from escalating injuries. However, it is ineffective against devastating blows. This effect cannot be upgraded, but its effectiveness increases with your cultivation level.]
In short, this special effect is only effective if Levi is not instantly beheaded, or reduced to dust and ashes—a truly devastating blow.
With the [Rise from the Ashes] special effect, Levi can hold on to his last breath, which is equivalent to equipping a "famous sword". Then, Levi can use the powerful regenerative ability brought by the Blood Ash to accelerate the healing of his injuries in a short time and return to his peak condition! It is similar to the "Tortoise Breath Art" in some novels.
This is practically a life-saving technique!
After six months of dormancy, Levi's strength has increased significantly again.
Especially after reaching the Ninth Rank the Phoenix Breathing Technique, his strength underwent a qualitative change.
Kane has been dead for two and a half years; everything should have settled down by now.
Levi felt it was time to turn Kane into Living Dead.
After he finished packing, he boarded the Leviathan, disguised himself, and set off.
He searched for coordinates, and as he approached the island where Kane was buried, he disembarked the Dragon King Whale, leaving Leviathan to wait for him in the deep sea, while he swam over.
He sensed it from afar, relying on the Black Serpent's Tongue.
He could still sense Kane's presence; Kane was still buried on this island, which reassured Levi considerably. It seemed that those people hadn't found Kane's body.
Levi cautiously swam towards the island, and when he was within two kilometers of it, he used his Advanced Perception to investigate the situation on it.
"There's no one here. No one has come here since I left."
Levi was fully armed, his entire body protected by Solid Black Scale, and his Stone Skin Technique shimmered with a blue light beneath, ready to activate the defensive spells and flight techniques within his magical artifact at any moment.
However, it is clear that Levi's worries were unnecessary.
In the end, Levi dug up Kane's body.
Because of the embalming treatment, Kane's body did not decompose, but remained lifeless and expressionless.
Levi carefully examined Kane's body inside and out. It was exactly the same as before he left, with no difference or marks.
Then he injected a Undead Core into Kane's mind, and Kane's long-dormant eye sockets opened, their deep black eyes flashing with a green eerie light.
Through Levi's experiments, it was found that Kane, after becoming Living Dead, could use First-Circle Spell such as Greater Fireball Technique and Fireball Technique without any problems, but unfortunately he couldn't use the powerful Second-Ring Spell.
Regardless, the Living Dead of a First-Circle Wizard undead in this sea area greatly enhanced Levi's strength.
In the end, Levi didn't dare to delay and put Kane's body into the Giant Squid Ring, Storage Ring that Levi specially used to store all kinds of corpses.
Levi's strength has increased significantly, but he has not yet advanced to become Formal Wizard. In this Wizard World, he is still stuck in the starting village.
I've made great progress in Breathing Technique, and now I need to focus all my efforts on becoming a full- Formal Wizard.
He returned to the Gray-White Tower and obtained all the materials for the "Sandman Potion" that Manla had collected for him from the materials shop. Manla was very efficient and completed Levi's task in just six months.
Of course, there is still no news about the "Gray Naga's Tear" used to create the Naga's Blessing.
Levi had long anticipated this. The medicinal materials used for breaking through cultivation realms were already scarce. Even if they occasionally appeared on the market, they would undoubtedly be snapped up by established alchemists with better connections and resources, leaving no chance for Levi. This was equivalent to the "Foundation Building Pill" in the cultivation world—completely in short supply. Its appearance in this sea area would inevitably cause a bloodbath.
However, there was still some time before he could break through to become Formal Wizard, so Levi wasn't in a hurry.
All I need to do is craft the [Naga's Blessing] before Third-Order Limit of my Meditation Technique.
After a final month of dedicated effort.
Levi leveled up his Potion Making skills to Seventh Rank.
There were no obstacles or constraints during this period.
According to his judgment, the Seventh Rank is the realm of a formal pharmacist.
So I can start trying to refine First Ring potions.
He now has about sixty portions of materials for the Sandman Potion, which cost Levi three thousand Great Stone and more than sixty thousand Gold Coins. The cost of refining the Sandman Potion is staggering.
Three thousand Great Stone a sum that most Formal Wizard simply cannot afford, and that's just for the raw materials. If it were to be refined into a potion, one dose would cost at least one hundred and fifty to two hundred Great Stone on the market, and it would be impossible to buy one, because there are only about five wizards in this sea area, including Levi, who can refine the Sandman Potion.
Teacher Mai Lin always prioritizes her own use when brewing potions, buying up the rest for the Tower. She never trades them on the market, and the same applies to official potion makers in other organizations. Therefore, it's rare to find Sandman Potion at the Black Sail Wizard Market, and it's generally not available at Star Ring Store.
Levi did not immediately begin refining the Sandman Potion. He had just entered the realm of a formal alchemist, and the success rate of refining the Sandman Potion now would certainly be low.
To avoid wasting the materials he had painstakingly collected, Levi could only practice with some low-cost First Ring potions, such as First Ring Red and Blue Potion potions. These potions were relatively inexpensive, costing only about one-twentieth the price of Sandman Potion.
It took Levi three whole months just to practice, and it cost him more than a thousand Great Stone.
He concocted enough "Red and Blue Potion" for himself to use for a First Ring time after becoming Formal Wizard.
For the past three months, in order to Potion Making, Levi had to suspend the practice of some less important Meditation Technique and Breathing Technique, such as Deep Sea Meditation Technique and Black Whale Breathing Technique.
Calm down and focus on Potion Making.
This caused Levi's proficiency in Seventh Rank Potion Making to increase by one-fifth within three months.
He estimated that once he reached the Eighth Rank of Potion Making, he would be a senior First Ring Potion Making craftsman, and the Ninth Rank would be Second Ring Potion Making craftsman.
Now, I can achieve an 80% success rate with simple First Ring potions, and the loss rate is very low among First-Ring Potion Maker.
Levi felt that now was the right time.
He didn't want to trouble Teacher Mai Lin; otherwise, with Mai Lin's skill level, she would have been 100% successful in concocting the Sandman Potion, and the quality would have been even better. Mai Lin gave the Sandman Potion recipe to Levi so Levi could grow independently and become First-Ring Potion Maker as soon as possible, instead of remaining an apprentice under Mai Lin's tutelage. Levi also needed to continuously increase his proficiency by concocting these potions, hoping to soon join the ranks of First Ring first-ring alchemist or even Second-Ring Potion Maker.
However, before preparing to refine the Sandman Potion, Levi went to see Mai Lin and told his teacher that he had broken through to become a formal alchemist and was ready to try refining the Sandman Potion. He wanted his teacher to teach him some experience and techniques in refining the Sandman Potion.
This excited Mai Lin for a while, because Levi was the first and only formal pharmacist she had personally trained.
This also means that within the small Second Ring organization of the Gray-White Tower, there are actually two formal apothecaries, Mai Lin and Levi!
If the Tower Master weren't currently in seclusion, Mai Lin would definitely have shared this joy with him immediately.
Mai Lin gave Levi notes, which contained her experiences, tips, and lessons learned from her time making the Sandman Potion.
Levi paid a symbolic 500 points. The true value of such notes far exceeded 500 points. However, to prevent excessive devaluation of points, the tower would periodically reclaim a portion of the points held by apprentices in various forms.
With Mai Lin's help, Levi's success rate in concocting the Sandman Potion increased significantly.
Once he had made all the preparations, he locked himself in the Potion Making room on the ninth floor of the Gray Tower, preparing to go into seclusion for a period of time.
Levi took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"Keep trying! One failure means throwing away fifty Great Stone and a thousand Gold Coins. This isn't alchemy, it's burning money!"
Today's update is 9,000 words, plus an extra 3,000 words, leaving 35,000 words unfinished.
