Soren and His Companions

The Panda Empire, Southern Province.

In recent years, a female swordsman named Hundred Flowers has begun to rise to fame.

She fought against the Sorrow Wind Palm and tested her sword against the South Mountain Sword, without ever suffering a defeat.

Afterwards, masters from all over the south came to challenge them, gradually making the Hundred Flowers Swordsmen famous.

Of course, while the likes of the Sorrow Wind Palm and the South Mountain Sword are renowned in their respective regions, they still cannot be considered true powerhouses of the Panda Empire.

It is said that above these top-tier experts, there is also the mysterious and unpredictable [Hidden World Qi Sect].

What is the Qi Sect? It is the path to the Qi Sect through the body, in harmony with heaven and Unity of Heaven and Man, achieving unity of man and Dao Follows Nature way, and mobilizing the power of the four elements: earth, fire, wind, and water. (Author's note: The four elements are referenced from the Four Elements Sect in D& Four Symbols Sect Monk.) The Qi Sect lives in seclusion and is always mysterious, occasionally leaving behind some legends in the world. They only appear in the world when a calamity threatens the Panda Empire.

Wizards emphasize systematic knowledge and theoretical learning in order to gradually master magic and touch upon the truth.

However, these adorable Fur Race Bearmen emphasize cultivating their minds, using their hearts to perceive the universe and the existence of Qi.

In Hundred Flowers's view, this was too vague and idealistic.

However, since Lord Sauron left behind legends here and did not establish this place as a wizard colony, it means that there must be something special about this world.

She wanted to meet the current Holy Emperor and uncover the information behind the legends left behind by Sauron in this place.

So Hundred Flowers traveled towards Four Symbols City, the capital of the Panda Empire in the central region.

As she traveled, she discovered that most of the Bearmen in this world were exceptionally friendly to outsiders, something Hundred Flowers could never have imagined in the Wizard World.

Bamboo Cloud City.

"Bamboo Leaf Cake, the finest Bamboo Leaf Cake, would you like some?"

"Thank you, just a little bit."

Hundred Flowers bought a small piece of Bamboo Leaf Cake from an Bearmen and swallowed it in one bite.

"... It's so bitter."

Hundred Flowers smiled and shook her head. "Many of the foods in this world are related to bamboo. Experiencing different exotic customs is part of the fun of interdimensional travel."

In this small southern town, all sorts of vendors were calling out their wares, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Halt! The Strong Liquor Qi Sect shall remain!"

"Dream on!"

Suddenly, two figures flashed across the rooftops without leaving a sound.

Looking around, Hundred Flowers saw a tall, thin Bearmen wearing a straw hat and a raincoat, chasing after another short, stout Bearmen.

That short, stout Bearmen, though chubby-looking, was incredibly agile.

Hundred Flowers smiled slightly, showing no intention of vying for the Qi Sect's inheritance.

After years of research, she discovered that the extraordinary systems of this world might not be suitable for her.

Needless to say, the wizarding profession is a mature and complete supernatural system, and its current upper limit is the Legendary Wizard, a Quasi-God existence. She cannot abandon the wizarding path and put the cart before the horse.

And the way of Knight can hardly find any reference in the laws of this world.

Based on the Hundred Flower Knight ' understanding of Knight, these are two completely different systems.

Knight is destined to follow the path of bloodline to the bitter end.

She had reached the end of the road, but ahead lay a fog, something she couldn't see or touch.

With experts from all walks of life gathering, the winds of change are blowing through Bamboo Cloud City once again.

A bright red gourd was being snatched and fought over by a group of people.

No one knows who threw a punch, but the gourd suddenly shot out and landed at Hundred Flowers's feet. It spun around and then pointed at Hundred Flowers.

"..."

Hundred Flowers stopped, picked up the wine gourd, and looked up to find herself surrounded by top-tier masters whose skills were no weaker than the Sorrowful Sorrow Wind Palm and the South Mountain Sword.

Hello everyone.

Hundred Flowers smiled confidently and put away the wine gourd.

Since this thing has come to my feet, it would be impolite not to take it.

She thought she might as well take a look at what this inheritance was and then return it to these Bearmen.

"Outsider, hand it over. The Qi Sect's inheritance is not something you can comprehend," the tall, thin Bearmen said.

"That's right, I found this item and it should belong to me."

"No, it belongs to me."

A group of Bearmen rushed towards Hundred Flowers.

She smiled radiantly, remaining calm and composed. Holding a gourd in her left hand, she leaned back to dodge the attack.

Then he placed his right hand on the greatsword, and the power of the Legendary Knight at his peak surged into the greatsword.

"Hundred Flowers and a Full Moon!"

Boom! Her greatsword spun, and a sword light as bright as a full moon swept across the area.

One by one, the masters were forced to defend and dodge.

The houses on both sides of the street were swept away by the terrifying sword wind and were about to collapse.

The Hundred Flowers stirred with a thought.

Relying on the power of magic.

These houses, which were about to collapse, suddenly returned to normal.

Her sword strike forced back those experts, but didn't harm a single one.

"Such powerful witchcraft."

One expert exclaimed in shock.

"Thank you for holding back, stranger... This is indeed not something you can take. Please leave it here."

The Bearmen dared not move forward, speaking with trepidation.

"I'll borrow it to take a look, and then I'll return it to you..."

Hundred Flowers smiled slightly, and her whole body, head, chest, legs... bloomed with flowers vying for beauty. Petals were swept up by the breeze, flew into the sky, and disappeared without a trace.

The place was deserted.

The group of experts were left dumbfounded, amazed by the extraordinary skill.

Perhaps, even if the Strong Liquor Qi Sect were alive, their methods would not be as effective as those of this outsider before them.

On a country road a hundred miles away, Hundred Flowers let out a soft breath and smiled, "Although magic is limited in this world, it's still no problem to deal with you little guys. Let me see what this Hidden World Qi Sect's method is all about."

Hundred Flowers opened the crimson gourd, and in an instant, a scene resembling a wizard's portrait appeared before her eyes.

She seemed to have traversed a scenic landscape, with dense, towering bamboo forests, and at the top of a cliff waterfall that seemed to hang upside down from the Firmament, there was an ordinary-looking thatched cottage.

A Bearmen swordsman practices his sword on a cliff face.

His every move was natural and unrestrained, seemingly in accordance with the principle of Unity of Heaven and Man between man and nature.

As he wielded his sword, crimson elemental power, representing fire, began to gather around him, gradually merging into his body and his sword.

He was shirtless, and behind him appeared a pattern of a Phoenix phoenix, resembling the mythical phoenix.

At the same time, a resounding voice echoed in Hundred Flowers's mind.

"In the beginning of time, all things were in chaos. The Holy Emperor ruled the world and sat down with a strange man from beyond the heavens to discuss the Dao. He analyzed the primordial energy and found that it could be divided into four elements, thus establishing the profound method of the Qi Sect. The one as fiery as wine is the Qi Sect of fire; the one as stable as Azure Mountain is the Qi Sect of earth; the one as gentle as Clear Spring is the Qi Sect of water; and the one as changeable as Flowing Clouds is the Qi Sect of wind. The four elements give birth to all things. They are as vibrating as Spring Thunder, as deep as ice, as green as wood, and as firm as metal and Metal and Stone... No matter how they change, they do not deviate from their origin. Among all the Qi Sect in the world, the four elements are the foremost."

When the Holy Emperor fell, the Four Symbols collapsed, and the Primordial Qi split into four, falling into the mortal world.

Strong Wine, Azure Mountain, Clear Spring, Flowing Clouds — the Four Symbols Sect was established from this.

I am Chen, the last disciple of the Strong Liquor Sect. Since the fall of the Holy Emperor, the Qi Sect has declined. Fortunately, the Holy Emperor and the extraordinary man from beyond the heavens left behind a rare treasure to protect the world and prevent disasters from beyond the realm. However, the extraordinary man prophesied that the Panda Empire will inevitably face calamity in the future, and the way to save it lies in the Qi Sect.

The strong unleash their furious punches to become even stronger; may those who inherit their legacy know better!

After that slightly awkward sound, Hundred Flowers looked at the scene on the waterfall.

Black Qi filled the sky, and then an eight-armed Serpent Demon, tens of meters tall and covered in scales, descended from the sky. Behind it was a pitch-black Abyss well with an unknown destination. From within the well, there was a faint aura that even the Primal Soul Wizard, Hundred Flowers, feared.

"This is the Strong Liquor Qi Sect: Vermilion Vermillion Bird Sky Scorching Sword."

Boom! The Phoenix -like fiery bird pattern on the Bearmen's back came to life, letting out a clear cry that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

This sword strike mobilized the power of heaven and earth, and the Fierce Fire flames spread like wildfire in an instant.

The eight-armed Serpent Demon, a creature from the Abyss comparable to Fifth Ring wizard, was swallowed up by the "Vermilion Bird" under the Heaven-Reaching Sword, vanishing into nothingness amidst screams.

"Hehehe, I never expected that this obscure plane would have someone capable of killing the Eight-Armed General."

A Abyss Lord, possessing the aura of Primal Soul Wizard, spreads across the heavens and earth, descending upon the cliff.

Chen was so insignificant in his presence.

Chen looked at the Extraterrestrial Demons before him in despair. Killing the eight-armed Serpent Demon had already forced him to use the strongest demon-slaying technique of the Strong Liquor Sect.

He no longer had the strength to defeat an even more powerful Demon King! "By the sages of the Strong Liquor Sect, I blame my incompetence and shallow cultivation, which prevented me from protecting this land," he said sadly.

At that very moment.

In the distant Central Plains.

Within the Four Symbols City, a light that reached the heavens and penetrated the earth shone forth.

The entire Panda Empire can see it.

The two illusory figures seemed to arrive at the bottom Abyss the giant abyss in the blink of an eye.

One of them, though clearly Bearmen, possessed an ethereal, otherworldly quality, a return to simplicity.

The other one caused Hundred Flowers's expression to change slightly.

"Sauron..."

The figure was dressed in a white witch's robe, handsome, confident, and proud.

It was clearly the Bearmen elder, the first Holy Emperor, gazing at the Abyssal Well. Around him were the phantom images of four giant beasts, including the blazing firebird.

"The Four Symbols Open the Heavens!"

Boom! The Strong Liquor Qi, the aura of the Azure Mountain, the Clear Spring Qi, and the aura of Flowing Clouds —these four elements combine to form: the Primordial Chaos Qi of Creation!

The phantom images of four colossal beasts crashed into the Abyssal Well!

The Abyss Lord vanished in astonishment, disappearing in an instant. The terrifying shockwaves entered the Abyssal Well, and demons died amidst screams.

Until an even more terrifying Abyss demon lord, whose power made Hundred Flowers tremble across time and space, blocked the attack of the four colossal beasts with his majestic body, protecting the Abyssal Well.

It was wrapped in thousands of black chains, each chain entwined with the souls of tens of thousands of Abyss demons.

"Chain Lord Fokerik, who achieved his status through the slaughter of millions of demons in the Abyss, is the supreme among the Chain Demon... A top-tier demon lord beyond the six hundredth level of the Abyss, comparable to a peak Ninth Ring Great Wizard, he once killed a Plane Dominator a multiverse and, during the thousand-year Blood War with the Astral Realm Gods, devoured an angel alive..."

Hundred Flowers was deeply moved.

This terrifying being actually once invaded this seemingly weak world.

The Four Symbols Heaven-Opening Strike ultimately vanished without a trace.

The Bearmen elder looked at Sauron.

The phantom of Sauron remained calm, his gaze distant as he stared at the chain lord without uttering a word.

"Even if you are a projection of the power left behind by Legendary Wizard, I am the Lord of Chains, the Abyss..."

The Chain Lord hadn't finished speaking.

His body began to disintegrate inch by inch, shattering like glass. Cracks began to spread throughout the entire sky, and the Abyssal Well began to collapse, disappearing completely into the world.

The sky returned to normal, as if the invasion from the Abyss had never happened.

"What's this move called, Lord Sauron?" the Bearmen elder asked.

"... Sauron's Greater Disintegration Art is usually reserved for high-ranking figures. Using it here is a bit of a waste of its potential."

"The strength of this world is declining..." the Bearmen elder suddenly sighed.

"Don't worry, everything will be alright."

The first day of the Month of Origin in the year 1113 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

The 82nd year of the Great Expedition.

Nether King City.

Wizard Tower.

Levi had just finished the 11th Round Table Conference of the Twilight Knight Order with his members.

When the meeting ended, Levi sat alone in his seat, staring at the empty table.

Suddenly, Mobius sighed, "Ah... time flies."

"Why is Mr. Mobius so moved?" Levi asked.

"Back then, it was Sauron and his eighteen companions who held this meeting here. Now, seeing your faces full of hope for the future, I can't help but feel a little emotional..."

"Fellow travelers?" Levi asked.

"Yes, there are eighteen strong individuals from different planes, with varying strengths and paths, but all of whom have gained Lord Sauron's approval and are referred to by Sauron as 'fellow travelers'."

"Who are your companions? Mr. Mobius, would you mind telling me? I'm quite interested."

"There's nothing inconvenient about it. Let me think... We have the [Mechanical Sage], the [Arcane Emperor], and the [Primal Chaos Holy Emperor]..."

Levi listened quietly. The Arcane Emperor —he seemed to have heard of him.

In the ancient book "Grave of the Fireflies," the Aosser Plane, where the Insect Lamp Master resided, once gave birth to a prosperous spellcaster civilization, which later perished under the Terror Insect and evolved into the Insect Lamp Master civilization.

As for the existence of beings like the Primal Chaos Holy Emperor and the Mechanical Sage, that falls into Levi's blind spot.

"The Mechanical Sage should be something like Alchemy, which sounds pretty powerful... As for the Primal Chaos Holy Emperor? You can't guess anything from the title alone."

Levi shook his head. These important figures were too far removed from him, and after so much time, they had most likely perished.

"Master, the Rose Witch has arrived," Aljeta's voice rang out.

"Let her in."

"OK."

Not long after, the Rose Witch arrived at Levi's drawing room with a thin male wizard.

"Nute, it's been a long time," Levi said with a smile.

"Lord Levi, please forgive me for being too busy with my studies. Even though I knew you were living in Nether King City, I never had time to visit you," Nute said.

"How is it like at the Starfire Wizard Academy?" Levi asked.

He asked Aljeta to serve tea to the two guests.

"It's quite nice. The atmosphere in the academy is different from the organizations I've been in before. I wasn't used to it at first, but I got used to it. By the way, I chatted with Sha Wei Er before, and we happened to mention you. I was surprised to find that Lord Sha Wei Er actually knows you too?"

"Haha, we do know each other, he's also a good friend of mine," Levi laughed.

"Nute, what brings you here today?" Levi asked.

Nute nodded and said, "The first thing is to invite you to Principal Garcia's Primal Soul Ceremony. Sha Wei Er me to do this; he misses you terribly... The second thing is to ask how Alice's Ring is doing?"

"No problem, I'll definitely participate. I also want to see a real Origin Soul powerhouse... Alice's Ring is in good condition right now, and I'll definitely repair it in the future, so please don't worry, Nute," Levi said.

Nute nodded.

"Actually... there's one more thing, about Rose. Does Levi have a solution?" Nute asked, somewhat embarrassed.

Levi shook his head and said helplessly, "That's unsolvable. The Nightmare World is too unknown and terrifying for us. Let's wait for the Flower Witch to arrive."

"Okay." Nute held the Rose Witch's hand, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Levi watched the young couple leave, feeling helpless.

He can use the Rose Witch's "Nightmare" as an entrance to enter the Nightmare World.

He will most likely also meet the culprit who gave her nightmares, the Human-Faced Spider.

The problem is, how is he supposed to defeat the Human-Faced Spider? He's just Third-Ring Wizard, only good enough to put on a show in a newbie village like the Mortal World. Going straight into a difficult dungeon like the Nightmare World would be suicide.

In the year 1113 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, Month of the Freezing Winter.

Inside Levi's Wizard Tower.

There is a huge crucible.

The crucible contained molten Sun Gold in boiling hot liquid.

Levi was happily soaking in the pot of Sun Gold iron, chanting complex incantations.

Golden runes began to appear on Levi's bronze body, shimmering brightly.

"After six years, the Yaogold Wizard Body is complete. This ' Yaogold Body Refining Method ' is truly expensive, but the person who created this technique is also remarkable. He directly imprinted the Sun Gold power runes onto the wizard's body, thus giving the wizard Iron Body comparable to that forged from Sun Gold. Once perfected, it is even harder than Sun Gold itself."

Levi ——————

Yaogold Body Refinement Art: Fifth Order (126/30000), Special Effect: Yaogold Wizard Body (Level 5).

Levi felt the changes in his body. The wizard's body-refining method was similar to a passive defensive spell like "Adamantine Rock Body," but it was more complex and systematic.

In general, a wizard's body refinement still relies on the support of mental and Art Power. The difference between Body Refinement Wizard and an ordinary wizard lies only in their outward expression. Ordinary wizards use powerful spells to attack, while Body Refinement Wizard use their magically enhanced bodies to attack. One is good at ranged attacks, and the other is good at melee combat. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, but the mainstream is still the ordinary wizard. Body refinement can only be considered a side path.

Levi emerged from the crucible.

The Sun Gold obsidian in the crucible was one layer less than when he entered.

The Sun Gold iron has transformed into the power of the obsidian runes and merged into Levi's body.

"Once this pot of molten iron has been completely absorbed, the Yaogold Body Refinement Art should be fully mastered."

"Speaking of the Yaogold Body Refinement Art and the Mixed Poison True Body, both are methods of refining the body using witchcraft. I wonder if they can be fused together. If they can, then my Mixed Poison True Body might be able to break through."

Levi initially practiced the Mixed Poison True Body just for fun.

But after pushing it to its limit, Levi discovered that this thing was really useful, far exceeding his expectations.

To some extent, the Mixed Poison True Body can be used as a "puppet clone" of Levi.

It can be used to fight enemies or to mark them, and it is almost Undying and Indestructible. As long as the Venomous Swarm is not wiped out, it can always recover by relying on its powerful splitting and regeneration ability. It is a standard demonic boss technique.

There's still some time before Garcia's Primal Soul Ceremony. Levi's main reason for emerging from seclusion this time is to participate in Nether King City's annual grand auction. "Night of the Nether King."

He returned to the Wizard World in order to purchase more of the knowledge, resources, and materials he needed.

According to the information he obtained from the House of Witches, there will be many truly good things appearing this "Night of the Nether King".

It's said that they even sell breakthrough potions for advancing to the Fourth Ring.

Levi has always refined his own breakthrough potions throughout his journey.

However, he now has to succumb to the harsh reality and Potion Making himself. Just collecting the materials will take a lot of time, and there is also the possibility of failure.

As the quality of medicines increases, the rarity of materials skyrockets. Often, it's already a feat to collect even one batch of Potion Making materials. If you fail, it's impossible to know when you'll be able to collect them all again.

So if you encounter this situation again, you should still buy it.

If purchased through legitimate channels, the probability of it being counterfeit is low.

"The main problem is that I don't know anything about Succubus milk."

Levi felt helpless.

Six years have passed since I obtained the Succubus Potion recipe, and I haven't encountered a single Succubus. I also have no idea where all the demons that escaped from the Abyssal Well have gone.

Some time ago, he even went to the wizard brothel that Nether King City frequently advertised to see if there were any Succubus working there.

If so, then hire a Succubus and bring back some fresh milk to make medicine.

It turned out he was overthinking it. The brothel contained women from various races of strange humanoid races, including Fur Race, low elves, Sea Race, and others—but no demons...

Pluto Auction House.

Levi had already booked a private room. The private room could isolate him from detection and prevent others from targeting him, but the price was a bit expensive, requiring an extra thousand Great Stone.

"I currently have 700,000 Great Stone. If I get Fourth Ring breakthrough potion, I'll take it if it costs no more than 400,000! I need to keep 300,000 in reserve."

After all, I still need to buy materials for the [Purgatory Ghost Killing Array] here, and I also need to set aside some money for Meditation Aid Potion materials... There are places to spend money everywhere, and recently none of those weak Black Wizard have come to rob me, what a pity..."

Black Wizard are really mysterious; when you actively seek them out, you can't find a single one.

Soon, the auction house was filled with wizards.

Levi participated in the advanced session, which was only open to wizards of intermediate or higher rank.

He glanced around and, judging from the seating arrangement, there were about a hundred mid-level wizards from Nether King City attending the auction.

"This is the Starry Sea Area."

Of course, most of these people are Third-Ring Wizard, Fourth Ring Wizard are rare, and Fifth Ring wizards are extremely rare.

Before long, the auction witch came to the front of the stage.

The first item up for auction was a Third Ring witchcraft artifact, which Levi showed little interest in.

He could destroy Third Ring magical artifact with a single, full-force sword strike.

"The next item is a Fourth Ring magical artifact, Minnie's Wonderful House. This artifact was obtained by a friend from Black Wizard. It is a spatial artifact that can be used to raise alien insects and extraordinary creatures. It has a large living space inside and the elemental power is relatively rich, so extraordinary creatures can also grow inside."

This magical artifact has a starting bid of 100,000 Great Stone, with each bid increment no less than 100 Great Stone.

Levi's expression shifted.

"Minnie's Wonderful House? Forget it, it's not a necessity for me anymore... I'll save my money for potions." Levi sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat sentimental.

He recalled his time in Torrent City, the years he fought for Minnie's Wonderful House, only to learn the devastating news that it had been taken away by the Black Wizard.

In general, spatial magical artifacts are not very valuable. Although they can hold living things, they cannot directly enhance the strength of a wizard.

But Minnie's Wonderful House was still bought by a wizard for 150,000 Great Stone.

Goodbye, Minnie's Wonderful House, goodbye, my youth.

After a wait, the auctioneer brought up a vial of medicine in a clear bottle.

"This is the [Night Lady's Heart], a breakthrough potion that can help liquefy spiritual power. It can increase the success rate of breaking through from the Third Ring to the Fourth Ring by 30%. Our auction house has verified that it is an authentic potion. I suppose most of the people here tonight are here for this potion, right? I won't say any more. The starting price is 200,000 Great Stone, and each bid must be at least 500 Great Stone."

The appearance of this potion instantly brought the atmosphere of the entire auction to a climax.

"250,000 Great Stone!"

A person dressed in a golden lightning robe walked out of the private room.

"They're from the Leitney Family?"

"Yes, it seems to be Jofrio Leitney... the Golden Thrower, Godfrey Leitney's grandson."

"Are all the big families so short of potions? Why are they competing with us ordinary wizards from the city for them..."

The people in the audience sighed and groaned.

The wizard Jofrio deliberately came out of the box, revealing his identity as a member of the Leitney Family; his intention was quite clear.

Levi frowned slightly, not in a hurry to make an offer. Revealing the Leitney Family's identity might scare away some competitors, but with so many people, there were bound to be some bold ones.

"Fine, if I can snatch 500,000 Great Stone, that's good enough... This is really killing me. My Lake Fairy Potion only sold for 100,000, but this Lady Night Potion looks like it'll fetch several times that price."

As expected.

Not long after.

That Night Lady's Heart jumped to 400,000.

"It seems there are quite a few wealthy wizards in Nether King City..." Levi sensed something was wrong.

"450,000!" Jofrio's face darkened. He had underestimated the allure of this potion to the wizards of Nether King City.

"Kid, don't try to take it from me. Do you think your Leitney family, which is so big, is lacking in this potion?" From the corner, a Fifth Ring wizard dressed in a white bone robe with a gloomy face walked out of the private room and spoke.

Jofrio looked at the other person, his expression changing slightly.

"Jofrio greets Senior Wild Bone, but I am determined to obtain this potion, and I hope that Senior will grant my request."

Although the Leitney Family has abundant resources, items like breakthrough potions are not something every Third-Ring Wizard disciple can obtain.

Only the most outstanding among their peers have a chance to receive it; the competition within the family is extremely fierce.

In the previous family competition, Jofrio lost to Gregorio, a fallen genius. After obtaining the breakthrough potion, Regorio died mysteriously, and no clues have been found to this day.

Impatient for the next family competition, Jofrio could only search for potions outside.

The Fifth Ring wizard in front of me is called Wild Bone. He is a wizard of the Death School and is quite famous in the Starry Sea Area.

Even though Jofrio came from a powerful family, he didn't want to offend such a strong person easily.

"Then let's see who has the best skills," Wild Bone said calmly. He had bought it for one of his blood relatives, and if it was too expensive, it wouldn't be worth it, which was why he revealed his identity in an attempt to dissuade Jofrio.

Levi watched quietly as the two men raised the price to 530,000 Great Stone.

"I'm going crazy. I'd rather keep waiting for the Succubus."

He has too many uses for his money, and anyway, he's still a decade or two away from achieving mental energy liquefaction, so there's no rush.

In the end, the Wild Bone Wizard prevailed and took the potion.

Jofrio looked grim and left before the auction was even over.

Levi was slightly disappointed at not getting the potion; he wished he could shout right now, "Who the hell has the Succubus's Milk?"

"The last item up for auction is a book of alchemy, called ' Alchemy 'Lemei's Secret Workshop.' According to our investigation, this is the book of alchemy of Nicholas Lemei, the most famous Alchemy in the Endless Sea, who lived ten thousand years ago. Because it was destroyed in the war, some of the contents of this book are missing. However, it still contains more than fifty kinds of low-level Alchemy blueprints, ten kinds of Third Ring Alchemy blueprints, and three kinds of Fourth Ring Alchemy blueprints."

If any Alchemy are present, they absolutely cannot miss this inheritance. The starting bid is 200,000 Great Stone, and each bid must be at least 500 Great Stone.

Levi, who had originally planned to leave, sat down again.

"The intelligence didn't mention this good stuff... Well, for most wizards, the most important thing is the breakthrough potion. In any case, we have to get this inheritance book."

Levi was open to all knowledge, especially systematic books of transmission.

He already has books such as "The Book of Cypher", "The Star Forging Rune Book", and "The Grave of the Fireflies", but he is still missing a book on Alchemy.

The Alchemy faction is a very small faction. According to the tower master, as of now, the strongest members of this faction are only a few at the level of Primal Soul Wizard.

Therefore, very few wizards choose to become Alchemy; it's a dead end and a waste of money...

Nicholas Lemei is one of the most famous figures in the history of Alchemy. He was a Primal Soul Wizard during his lifetime and proposed many Alchemy theories. The Tower Master highly praised him.

There were clearly several Alchemy or wealthy people interested in Alchemy present, and they all started bidding.

Levi wasn't in a hurry; he waited until they raised the price to 370,000.

He made the final decision directly.

"Four hundred thousand."

In an instant, many eyes turned to Levi's private room.

Even in Nether King City, not many people can come up with 400,000.

Is anyone else here?

After a while, no one else bid.

Levi obtained the Book of Inheritance without any difficulty.

"Leaving aside the low-level blueprints, just the ten types of Third Ring blueprints and three types of Fourth Ring blueprints alone are enough to make a profit."

Levi consoled himself, after all, another 400,000 was gone.

The auction has ended.

Levi received the Book of Inheritance backstage and left in a hurry. He didn't like auction houses because of the crowds and distractions.

After circling around several times, going to several crowded places, and changing his appearance a few times, he returned to the Wizard Tower and closed the magic circle.

Levi felt the hairs on his arms stand on end.

"Is someone still watching me?"

He felt he had hidden it very well.

However, the sense of danger was not very strong. It seemed that the enemy was not very strong or the hostility was not very strong, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Among the crowd on the street, a Gray-Robed Wizard stared expressionlessly at the Wizard Tower where Levi lived.

"This person is very similar to the Levi in the memories of the rookie wizard named Grimm whom I killed a long time ago."

He seems like a very cautious person, but unfortunately, he still made many mistakes in the face of the great Mind Flayer.

This Gray-Robed Wizard was none other than the one who had killed Grimm and Toman —or, to be precise, the demon.

Mind Flayer, the most notorious race in the Abyss, are natural spellcasters. Every Mind Flayer is Mind Master, sucking brain marrow and stealing the memories of other creatures as easily as taking candy from a baby.

They are also adept at disguise, cunning and treacherous, and are among the Abyss demons that wizards least want to face.

"This Levi's body is quite good, much better than my current one. It will make it easier for me to move around in the Wizard World. I'll find an opportunity to take him... But for now, I should go to the Demon Banquet hosted by Black Feather Demon King Victor."

The Demon Banquet is a gathering of Abyss demons hosted by Victor, the former Abyss Lord.

Those who participate in the banquet are all demons hidden in the Endless Sea.

Several days later.

The night sky over the Endless Sea sea is filled with dazzling stars.

The Mind Flayer left Nether King City and arrived at the Seventh District of the Inner Ring Sea Area.

This is the territory of the Thunder Dragon Family, and also the most suitable hiding place for demons.

Because the Black Feather Demon King Victor is now residing in the body of the Thunder Dragon Family's patriarch, Thunder Spear Solete.

The Thunder Dragon Family was at the height of its power, Spear of Thunder could break through the Fifth Ring at any moment and enter the realm of Primal Soul Wizard.

The Demon Banquet takes place in one of the most private little dungeons in Spear of Thunder.

The entrance to the secret realm is on a deserted island.

The Mind Flayer chants incantations.

The next moment, a dark vortex appeared in mid-air above the island and sucked it in.

When he reappeared, he was already in an abandoned mine.

"Gilmore, you're too late," a voice called out.

"I was held up by some matters in Nether King City," the Mind Flayer said with a smile.

In the center of the mine stands a rock throne, upon which Spear of Thunder clad in a purple lightning robe gazes at the Mind Flayer.

In Solett's arms sat a female demon with pale purple skin. She had ram's horns, bat wings on her back, long legs, and two ripe melons that emitted a rich milky fragrance... Her hooves-like feet swung casually as she gazed at the Mind Flayer with seductive eyes.

"That damned bitch Miraya, trying to use her charm on the great Mind Flayer," the Mind Flayer Gilmore cursed inwardly.

Although he was dissatisfied, he couldn't say it out loud, after all, that Succubus bitch was Solett's lover.

Well... you could also consider him Victor's lover, since they share one body.

Besides the Mind Flayer and Succubus, there were more than a dozen other demons in the mine, all hiding in the darkness and emitting eerie laughter.

These are all demon forces gathered by Demon King Victor, most of whom are level four demons with formidable strength.

"Victor has been busy lately, so I'll be hosting this Demon Banquet. You can share your recent intelligence." Solett stroked the Succubus's long, smooth legs.

"You? A mere human?" A level four Barghest Flame Demon, engulfed in flames, sneered.

"Oh? You're not convinced?" Solett said calmly, a terrifying purple Thunder crackling at his fingertips.

"No... I just wanted you to know that we're gathered here because of the Black Feather Demon King." The Barghest Flame Demon admitted.

"I'll go first. According to the intelligence I obtained in Nether King City, the city lord of Nether King City is currently in seclusion, and the other Primal Soul Wizard are stationed in Nether King City have also been secretly transferred away... In other words, Nether King City is actually no longer guarded by Primal Soul Wizard," said the Mind Flayer.

"This is good news..." Solett pondered, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly, Solett's expression changed. The Succubus in his arms was actually stroking his little Solett during the meeting.

"Stop fooling around, don't forget, you're just my tool," Solett said with displeasure. He wasn't one of those novice wizards who would be seduced by Succubus.

The ultimate price those guys paid was either being turned into mummies or becoming slaves of the Succubus Queen.

While these demons were having their banquet.

Nether King City.

Levi was engrossed in studying "The Lemei's Secret Workshop" in the Wizard Tower.

These days, that hostility has been looming, and Levi has gotten used to it.

Since he doesn't become a monk, that guy obviously wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him.

After he finished his work and was ready, he deliberately left Nether King City to lure out the mastermind and kill him to eliminate any future troubles.

"The Tyrant II needs an upgrade. Among the Third Ring Alchemy blueprints recorded in this book, there is a war weapon called [Wanderer]. It's very good. This is the one."

Levi finalized the plan to transform and upgrade the Tyrant II.

In his spare time, he would work in the Alchemy chamber to reform the Tyrant.

Time flies by, leaving no trace.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

The year 1116 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowing Fire.

The Great Expedition is in its 85th year.

During these three years, Levi successfully crafted the [Wanderer] and raised his weapon crafting skill to the Third Ring level.

He named the Wanderer "Tyrant III".

Tyrant III stands approximately five meters tall at the shoulder, his entire body crafted from Sun Gold, and equipped with the Alchemy Chainsaw Sword and Alchemy Vulcan Cannon, among other items, developed by Levi based on "The Lemei's Secret Workshop".

In terms of strength, he is no match for an ordinary Third-Ring Wizard.

Of course, what Levi coveted even more was the Fourth Ring Alchemy blueprint in the inheritance book, which depicted an Alchemy creature called the Skywalker, capable of rivaling Fourth Ring Wizard.

It is known as the "Alchemy Sword Under the Sky".

With a single sword strike, Fourth Ring died.

However, crafting the Skywalker requires even higher-grade materials. The limit of Sun Gold is the Wanderer, Third Ring Alchemy creature.

Of course, Alchemy is only one aspect. Over the years of cultivation, Levi's mental strength has also reached 180 points, getting closer and closer to the limit.

However, the biggest achievement of these three years was that Levi successfully trained the [Yaogold Body Refining Method] to the Seventh Rank and discovered that the wizard's body refining techniques could indeed be fused.

He then merged with the [Mixed Poison True Body] and obtained a brand new body-refining method.
