Nether King City.

Wizard Tower.

In Levi's mind, following the crimson, yellow, and blue dragons, a fourth purple dragon suddenly appeared! "Soon I can summon the Seven Gods to make a wish..."

Fire Dragon Tribulation, Earth Dragon Barrier, and Water Dragon's Chant Roar are all Third Ring talents.

Thunder Dragon Flash is Fourth Ring talent.

Levi ——————

Fire Dragon Tribulation (First Talent): Ninth Rank (Limit)...

Thunder Dragon Flash (Fourth Talent): Eighth Rank (1/100,000).

"With four top-tier innate spells, I am now superior to many ordinary Fourth Ring Wizard."

Levi felt a sense of pride.

Most newcomers to the Fourth Ring only master ordinary Fourth Ring spells and do not have mastered innate spells.

The difficulty of researching and practicing innate spells far surpasses that of ordinary spells.

Under normal circumstances, Fourth Ring Wizard is considered lucky if he can master one innate spell within twenty years of his advancement.

Before advancing to the Fourth Ring, Levi had already begun to plan ahead. Coupled with his Proficiency Panel and his already good wizarding talent, he was able to master the Fourth Ring talent at this stage.

Moreover, he has one more Third Ring talent spell than most Fourth Ring Wizard.

This will be an unparalleled advantage in a battle of wits.

"Let's test it out."

Levi left Nether King City and came to the deserted sea.

He snapped his fingers, and instantly a dense surge of Thunder currents erupted around him, creating a powerful repulsive force.

Using this force, Levi shot out with a whoosh, just like a maglev train.

A phantom-like purple lightning bolt flashed across the sea, crackling and Thunderclap.

Before long, it disappeared from sight.

It seemed like only a moment had passed before Levi appeared hundreds of miles away.

"This speed... truly befits Fourth Ring talent spell."

It should be noted that Levi has only cultivated the Thunder Dragon Flash to the Eighth Rank.

According to his calculations, the ultimate level of Third Ring talent spell is the Ninth-Rank Limit.

The perfect state of Fourth Ring talent spell should be the Eleventh-Order Limit.

In other words, if Levi were to master the Thunder Dragon Flash technique, his speed would be much faster.

"If you want to do well, you have to be fast and run away when you encounter danger."

After testing his innate spells, Levi took out a rapier.

The slender sword was about two feet long and emitted a deep, ethereal luster.

"Shadow Thorn, Fourth Ring sorcerer's weapon, has extremely strong penetrating power and extremely fast speed. It flies silently and invisiblely, making it suitable for assassination. It has three Fourth Ring spells and several low-level spells solidified on it... Overall, the spells are average, but because the material itself is very good, it is quite good as a concealed weapon."

This was the Crypt Wizard's artifact; Levi erased its mark and replaced it with his own.

He had a sudden inspiration and returned to the Wizard Tower to summon the Poison Fire Corpse Demon.

"Gilmore, come out here for a moment."

"Yes, Master." Gilmore left the body of the corpse demon.

Levi immediately activated his Red Emperor Dragon Flame and began to refine the Poison Fire Corpse Demon anew.

He constantly changed his incantations and spellcasting gestures, and even added some new materials.

One month later.

Levi came out of the weapon-refining room.

Behind him followed a completely transformed corpse demon.

This corpse demon looked no different from an ordinary person, but its expression was slightly gloomy, making it seem unapproachable to the living.

The corpse demon stretched out its right hand, and a black light appeared, as if Breaking Void, moving at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, they were already in front of Levi.

The image of Golden Serpent Frenzy Dance wildly appeared.

The black light lost its momentum after penetrating the Golden Snake image and appeared in Levi's hand.

"The same magical artifact, the power of the Crypt Wizard when used is several times that of the corpse demon. Your grandpa is still your grandpa... Even the Crypt Wizard, the shame of the Fifth Ring, is still far stronger than the corpse demon."

Levi sighed with emotion.

"However, in this way, this magical artifact is not wasted. It is good to use it to enhance the strength of the Corpse Demon. With this magical artifact, even a senior Fourth Ring wizard can be killed by the Corpse Demon if he is not careful... And the Corpse Demon is just a puppet of mine."

"Once we have a suitable physical body, we'll upgrade this corpse demon and refine it into the legendary Level 5 Corpse Demon King. Even Fifth Ring Wizard will be able to fight against it!"

Levi returned the body to the Mind Flayer.

"There are still three months until the Starry Gathering, and I've only saved a measly four million Great Stone... I won't be able to save five million. Oh well, if I can't buy breakthrough potions, I can at least buy Elemental Metal. I'm still a long way from the Fifth Ring, so there's no rush. As long as I keep an eye on the Witch Shop and the major merchant guilds in the Twelve Witch Cities, there will still be opportunities."

After three years of cultivation, Levi condensed another fifteen drops of spiritual energy dew.

His mental strength has reached 230 points, and his Art Power has reached 11,500 points.

In other words, with the Meditation Aid Potion, Levi's cultivation speed is twice as fast as before, and he can condense 5 drops of spiritual energy dew in a year!

Therefore, a wizard's practice ultimately cannot be separated from resources.

Those second-generation witches or the chosen ones born with a silver spoon in their mouths may have other means of survival, which is truly enviable.

"I'm still 280 points away from my limit. At the current rate, if I have enough potions, I can reach the limit of my spiritual power within 60 years. At that time, I will only be a little over two hundred years old, still very young. It feels really good not to be troubled by the time limit."

In addition to the improvement in mental strength.

Over the past three years, Levi's Golden Wizard Poison Body has also been continuously getting stronger.

Levi could sense that his body-refining talent was quite good; otherwise, relying solely on the Proficiency Panel, he wouldn't have progressed so rapidly.

The venue for this Starry Gathering is [Sea King City].

This is also one of the Twelve Witch Cities, and the actual controller behind it should be the [Sea Abyss Alliance].

"Anyway, I can't make any more money... I might as well just focus on my cultivation until the grand event begins."

Over the years, besides occasionally engaging in double-crossing and entrapment, Levi has also made a lot of money through the three arts of wizardry.

However, at this stage, we need to quickly improve our magic array and Alchemy skills, as well as consume other miscellaneous potions.

He then invested all the money he earned back into the stock market.

This creates a delicate balance.

The money he earned from the three wizarding arts was just enough for him to quickly gain experience and buy materials, thus achieving sustainable development.

The additional accumulation of capital, however, relies on the Black Wizard.

The Panda Empire.

Four Symbols City.

The backyard of the Imperial Palace.

A quiet bamboo grove garden.

A man and a woman are sitting on the ground, playing chess.

The man was a Bearmen looked quite old and had a hunched back. He wore a crown and, despite his advanced age, possessed a regal air.

This is none other than the current Holy Emperor: Zhou.

He is also the current leader of the Clear Spring Sect and the Water Qi Sect.

Opposite the Holy Emperor was a beautiful, dashing woman with her long golden hair tied up. She carried an exaggerated greatsword and calmly played chess. This was Hundred Flower Knight Elena.

In the end, the Holy Emperor Chess was still the superior one.

"We lost again..." Elena laughed.

"You've only been in this field for a few years, yet your skill level is already catching up to mine. It makes me lose face..." The Holy Emperor smiled wryly.

Elena smiled without saying a word.

"The first Holy Emperor probably never imagined that, tens of millions of years later, the one who would inherit the Qi Sect from the Strong Liquor Sect would be a wizard," the Holy Emperor remarked.

"I was quite surprised too. The inheritance here is too casual. I just wanted to open it and take a look, but I inexplicably became a Fire Qi Sect..." Elena said with a helpless smile.

"..."

The game of chess ended.

Elena, mimicking the manners and tone of the Bearmen, clasped her hands in greeting and said, "Although I failed to achieve my intended goal during my travels, I have still gained a great deal. Thank you for your hospitality, Holy Emperor. One day, when you reach the ' Shattering the Void ' realm, you are welcome to visit the Nora Plane. I will certainly do my best to be your host!"

"Thank you for your kind words! Over the years, through exchanging ideas with you, I have developed some insights into Shattering the Void. Perhaps it won't be long before I reach your level," the Holy Emperor said.

"By the way, those meteors that fell into the Panda Empire a few days ago should be the keys to the Dark Ancient Tower. With the Holy Emperor's strength, he might be able to obtain some opportunities within them and change the decline of the Qi Sect!" Hundred Flowers said.

"Since the opportunity to enter the Dark Ancient Tower is so precious, won't Your Hundred Flowers take one with you?"

"No need. I have already taken your Strong Liquor Qi Sect inheritance. It would be impolite to take this key as well. Besides, it would be inconvenient for me to carry this item while traveling between planes. With my strength, it wouldn't be difficult for me to find a key in the Nora Plane."

"Thank you, Lady Elena. May you carry forward the Strong Liquor Qi Sect and restore the glory of the Holy Emperor! You are also welcome to visit the Panda Plane again in the future!"

"Goodbye."

Behind Elena, a towering, thousand-meter-tall banyan tree phantom appeared.

A single banyan tree can form a forest, its branches covered with thousands of flowers, vying for beauty and displaying a riot of colors.

Origin Soul Wizard Manifestation: Hundred Flowers Thousand Trees!

This colossal structure, resembling the legendary World Tree, stood tall and imposing. The Flower Witch, like Goddess, chanted incantations, and a vast power flowed into the tree!

"Open!"

Countless flowers and leaves flowed down from the giant tree, forming a gate of light in front of the Hundred Flowers.

"Another long journey through the Darkness Zone... I hope to reach Nora soon. Before entering the Dark Ancient Tower, I also need to investigate the cause of White Water Lily's death."

Elena waved goodbye to the Holy Emperor, and an endless Protective Force Field of petals formed around her to protect her as she stepped into the portal.

Upon entering the Darkness Zone, the world spun around, and countless points of light flickered before Hundred Flowers's eyes.

Among these points of light, all are planes relatively close to Hundred Flowers. One huge point of light is particularly eye-catching. It is not far from Hundred Flowers, and it would take Primal Soul Wizard like her about twenty years to fly across the sky.

Elena looked back, and the plane where the Panda Empire was located had disappeared.

"The entire plane has been artificially hidden in the Darkness Zone. If I hadn't entered here by chance, it would have been difficult to discover under normal circumstances... Although the Panda Plane is only a medium-sized plane, the only way to hide the coordinates of an entire plane is the work of Legendary Wizard... Without a doubt, it was Sauron who did it. He wanted to protect this place from disturbance."

"From the current Holy Emperor, we know that among the eighteen companions of Sauron, the first Primal Chaos Holy Emperor of the Panda Empire was one of them. According to the wizard standard, the Primal Chaos Holy Emperor is only at the level of Ninth Ring Great Wizard. The fact that he was able to gain Sauron's recognition means that this [Qi Sect Method] must have its own special characteristics."

Sauron seemed unsatisfied with the extraordinary path of a wizard; he was constantly exploring and searching for new paths, and his eighteen companions represented eighteen distinctly different paths.

In the culture of the Panda Empire, the [Multiverse] is called the "Great Thousand Worlds," a vast universe with countless worlds. Sauron, standing high enough and seeing far enough, is indeed far beyond the reach of ordinary Legendary Wizard, truly worthy of being called the Ancestor of Wizards!

As she traveled, Elena took out her crimson gourd and began to study the profound methods of the Qi Sect.

She originally intended to use dimensional travel to find resources to build the Wizard Tower.

However, with her strength, she can only wander around some planes near Nora.

After touring around, it was found that most of these planes, large and small, had already been plundered by the wizards.

Only in the plane where the Panda Empire is located are there few traces of wizards, but there are also not many usable materials.

For Elena, the most difficult part of building a Wizard's Holy Sacred Tower for a Primal Soul Wizard was collecting high-level building materials.

She deeply felt how difficult the path would be after she Origin Soul.

Of course, she could do what many Primal Soul Wizard do nowadays and just make do with whatever she can find to build a Sacred Tower.

The problem is that her personality is that of a perfectionist; she would rather have nothing than something mediocre, and if she's going to do something, she wants to do it better.

"Let's go into the Dark Ancient Tower first. Unlike those smaller planes that are often plundered by wizards, the Dark Ancient Tower Ancient Tower only opens once every ten thousand years. There should still be plenty of resources inside."

Elena's consciousness entered her mind.

In her ocean of consciousness, a six-story white tower was slowly rotating.

Compared to Levi's small tower, the solidity of this Law Ring Holy Tower is almost identical to that of the real thing.

There are nine patterns on the walls of the Sacred Tower.

Each one represents a flower.

This is Elena's innate spell from the nine major Ocean Faction, which she has imbued with the imagery of nine flowers.

Like Levi, she is a perfectionist.

Therefore, during the Third Ring, Fourth Ring, and Fifth Ring rings, she mastered three innate spells in First Ring, making her an extremely rare "Nine Talent Wizard"! Of course, this was her trump card.

So far, no one knows except her.

Relying on her abnormal nine talents, she encountered a level seven [Black Beast] in the Darkness Zone during her interdimensional travels, yet still managed to retreat unscathed.

Inside the Sacred Tower, a small blue figure, exactly like the Hundred Flowers, is meditating; this is her Origin Soul.

The Origin Soul is the combination of spiritual power, soul, and Art Power; it is the core of High-Rank Wizard after the Sixth Ring! High-Rank Wizard can live without a physical body, but he must never lose his Origin Soul! As long as the Origin Soul, the wizard Undying! Right now, a fiery Vermilion Bird is circling around the little blue figure.

"According to the tradition of the Strong Liquor Sect, the Qi Sect is divided into five major realms: Acquired Qi Sensing, Innate Qi Absorption, Harmony of Heaven and Man, Shattering the Void, and Primal Chaos Limitless!"

Based on the description, these five realms correspond to:

Wizard Apprentice, Low-level Wizard, Mid-level Wizard, High-Rank Wizard, Great Wizard!

The original Primal Chaos Holy Emperor was Primal Chaos Limitless. His true strength was slightly stronger than that of the Great Wizard, but not as strong as that of the Legendary Wizard.

The previous leader of the Strong Liquor Qi Sect, Chen, was at the peak of Harmony of Heaven and Man.

The current Holy Emperor is the same, with strength equivalent to Fifth Ring wizard.

After years of cultivation, I have reached the Innate Qi Absorption Realm, and in the current Panda Empire, I am considered a top-tier expert.

Therefore, this Qi Sect method is not only for Panda people to practice. According to the lineage, as long as one has a "heart" that can sense "Qi", one can do it.

This "heart" can be the fiery "Strong Liquor Heart", the gentle and virtuous "Clear Spring Heart", the virtuous and compassionate "Azure Mountain Heart", or the ever-changing "Flowing Cloud Heart".

In short, theoretically, all living beings, if they have the will, can cultivate themselves.

In terms of elemental affinity, I am the Child of Water Element, but in terms of the perception of air, I possess the Strong Liquor Heart. That is why I was chosen as the successor of the Strong Liquor Qi Sect. The methods of the Qi Sect are truly miraculous; this is a completely different path from that of a wizard.

As a Primal Soul Wizard, the Hundred Flowers Witch enjoys a lifespan of two thousand years. She is only a little over three hundred years old now, so she has time to study these magic methods.

Having another option is always a good thing.

Elena reached her right hand behind her white witch's robe and stroked her smooth, jade-like back.

There, there is a crimson firebird tattoo with outstretched wings, which is called "Vermilion Bird" in the Panda civilization! Its appearance is similar to Phoenix, but it is Phoenix. It is a creature that does not exist in the multiverse, but is merely a fictional image of Strong Liquor Qi.

"The essence of the Fire Qi Sect of the Strong Liquor Qi. If one uses the Spirit Wine brewed by the Panda people to aid in cultivation, the progress will be even faster. I also have the recipe for the Spirit Wine. Once I return to Nora, I can make some improvements."

Elena looked at Nora and gradually disappeared into the Darkness Zone.

The year 1139 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

In seven days, the Starry Gathering will take place.

Nether King City.

Wizards arrived at the port, boarded their own airships, or used spells to fly towards the Sea King City.

Inside Levi's mansion.

In her spare time, Aljeta was busy tending to the flowers and plants in the Wizard Tower.

"Aljeta, is Levi here?" Ai Niya walked in with a beaming smile.

"Yes, Master is in seclusion," Aljeta said.

"Oh, I see. Is your master attending the Starry Gathering?"

"Join."

"Then come with me, it'll be nice to have company on the way," Ai Niya said with a smile.

He was in a good mood.

Just yesterday, he had already mastered the spell of using himself as Fourth Ring Protective Force Field.

Keep in mind that he had only been promoted to the Fourth Ring a few years ago.

"Levi probably hasn't mastered the Fourth Ring force field yet..."

That's what he thought.

Levi did not master the Fourth Ring force field because he did not study it... He directly created the Fourth Ring talent spell first.

His defenses are already sufficient, so he doesn't really care about upgrading his Protective Force Field.

"Okay, Master should be out of seclusion in the next few days. I will let him know then," Aljeta said with a smile.

Ai Niya nodded and went into the House of Witches to find his mother, only to find that Triss had gone to a meeting. He could only return home dejectedly.

Three days later.

Levi's secluded chamber.

He opened his eyes, and on his body, three different colors of body-refining runes were constantly flashing and changing.

Gold, gray, blue.

Gold represents his Golden Poison Body Refinement Method, gray represents his Tree Spirit Body Refinement Method, and light blue represents his Frost Body Refinement Method.

Today, he cultivated the Tree Spirit Body Refinement Method and the Frost Body Refinement Method to the Third Ring of the Realm.

The next moment, the gray and light blue body-refining runes began to resonate with each other, rotating around each other.

In the end, gray and light blue mingled together, and Levi, with a solemn expression, awaited the final result.

The next day.

The gray and light blue body-refining runes on Levi's body had disappeared.

Instead, there were Deep Blue body-refining runes that shone with a chilling aura.

"Success! It's a fusion of the Tree Spirit Body Refinement Method and the Frost Body Refinement Method, so let's call it... the Frostwood Body Refinement Method."

Levi ——————

Frostwood Body Refinement Method: Seventh Rank (1/50000), Special Effect: Frostwood Body (Level 7).

[Frostwood Body: Grants the body extremely high hardness, resilience, stretching ability, and self-healing capabilities. It can also release powerful extreme cold energy. It slightly increases resistance to Thunder Faction spells but is relatively vulnerable to Combustion Faction spells.]

Levi looked at the introduction, stretched out his arm, and Deep Blue runes shimmered within.

Then, waves of extreme cold permeated the Wizard Tower, and a layer of ice formed on the walls of the secret chamber.

Not only that.

Levi's arms began to stretch out strangely, like vines, bending and wrapping, until finally, his arms filled the entire secret room.

On the arm, the texture, like that of green wood, appeared, with some branches extending out and tender little flowers growing.

"Interesting. This Tree Spirit Body Refinement Method can be used like this?"

At this moment, Levi seemed to transform into a tree spirit.

A vibrant life force bursts forth from him.

In the blink of an eye, a layer of solid ice quickly formed on these long, blue arms, like Deep Blue armor covering them.

"By combining the powerful resilience and stretching ability of the tree spirit's body with the hardness and defensive power of the ice body, my magical Frostwood Body was born! However, for me, the most useful feature is that it slightly increases resistance to lightning elements."

As for the reduced fire resistance, that doesn't matter. When fighting against the Combustion Faction, I can just not use this Frostwood Body.

"Once the Frostwood Body Refinement Method reaches the Eighth Rank, its fusion with the Golden Poison Body Refinement Method might give rise to a body refining method sufficient to break through to the Origin Soul Realm!"

Over the long course of time, body-refining methods have become increasingly scarce, leading to fewer and fewer people practicing them, creating a vicious cycle.

Nowadays, those Body Refinement Wizard their Origin Soul are extremely rare.

"This path is correct. Relying on the powerful inclusiveness of the Venomous Swarm within the Golden Wizard Poison Body, once I reach the Origin Soul stage, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be able to create a Nascent Origin Soul- level body-refining avatar..."

At that time, fighting Levi was equivalent to one against two.

The main body of the magic and the body-refining clone went into battle together, beating the master with a flurry of punches, disregarding any magical ethics.

"The Starry Gathering is about to begin, I have to go." Levi packed his things and immediately left home.

"Master, Lady Ai Niya wishes to accompany you," Aljeta said.

"I understand." Levi nodded and sent a message to Ai Niya.

Not long after, Ai Niya arrived with a calm expression. "Lord Levi, how has your recent seclusion been?"

"A modest achievement, I suppose. But once you reach the Fourth Ring, it'll be incredibly difficult to move an inch," Levi said with a smile.

Ai Niya smiled slightly, indicating that she felt the same way.

"It seems Levi Wei is also facing difficulties. I thought it was just me." He breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after.

They arrived at Sea King City.

The large-scale protective magic array of Sea King City is now lit up.

"Sixth Ring Formation, Sea King Domain!"

Levi said to himself.

He had long heard that all Twelve Witch Cities were equipped with magic arrays at the Origin Soul level, and now that he saw it, it was indeed so.

With a magic array of this caliber, this auction should be free from any unexpected changes.

Moreover, a gathering of the caliber of the Starry Gathering would certainly have Primal Soul Wizard in charge of maintaining order.

After entering the city, Ai Niya and the other person parted ways and went to the areas that interested them.

The Sea King City is now bustling with wizards.

Intermediate wizards, who were once relatively rare, are now everywhere, and I even encountered several Fifth Ring wizards along the way.

Moreover, Levi had a gut feeling that there must be Primal Soul Wizard hiding his aura among these people.

"Keep a low profile. This gathering must be kept low-key!" Levi reminded himself.

His main purposes for attending the rally were twofold: Elemental Metal and the Fifth Ring breakthrough potion.

In addition, if there is any useful knowledge to pass on, that can also be considered.

As for the medicinal materials, he is not currently lacking them.

This grand event lasted for seven days.

The first six days are a time for everyone to freely trade and set up stalls.

On the seventh day, the once-in-a-century "Stars Auction" will be held at the largest auction house in Sea King City; that will be the main event.

After all, most wizards would want to sell something valuable at an auction for a better price.

"4 million Great Stone, this time we should be able to buy some good stuff."

Levi wandered around the stalls casually, trying to find a bargain, but after a whole day he gave up.

There were too many people at the rally; there was no chance to snag a spot.

Moreover, most wizards know their stuff, so the scenario of selling something cheaply because they don't know its value didn't happen.

He spent about 200,000 Great Stone to purchase a batch of low-level Spell Model that he didn't have, from various schools of thought, to enrich his knowledge base and make it easier to integrate talent spells in the future.

"I promised myself I wouldn't spend money recklessly, but I still couldn't help but throw away 200,000... What a sin! Why can't I control myself?"

Levi found an inn in the city and stayed there.

He did not participate in the subsequent free gatherings, but instead quietly waited for the auction to begin.

In the Sea King City, Ai Niya was strolling through the streets with great interest when suddenly, a commotion arose among the crowd.

"What a beautiful witch..."

"And there were two of them."

"The one in blue seems to be the city lord of Torrent City, Blue Dragon Lady. As for the Red Coat... I'm not sure."

Ai Niya looked in the direction of the sound.

Then they saw a fiery red magic airship docked at the port of Sea King City.

Two witches, one in blue and one in red, walked in confidently and calmly.

These two are none other than the Blue Dragon Lady and the Red Dragon Queen.

The Blue Dragon Lady is aloof and ethereal, while the Red Dragon Queen is passionate and fiery.

Ai Niya looked away, thinking to herself that this auction was quite lively.

"Ai Niya... you're here too." Just then, a slightly surprised voice came.

A young, beautiful, black-haired witch walked barefoot towards them.

"Sera?"

Phantom Witch Serra, one of the best Fourth Ring Wizard in the House of Witches, is also the Child of Water Element. With exceptional talent, she was chosen to participate in the exploration of the Dark Ancient Tower.

Like Ai Niya, she also possesses three talents, and even has two more Fourth Ring talents Ai Niya.

"I thought you, as a second-generation Primal Soul Wizard, wouldn't come here," Sera said with a smile. Her teacher was an Primal Soul Wizard, so she knew about the relationship between Ai Niya and Triss.

"I came with my friends, just to join in the fun."

"Levi?"

How did you know?

"It seems that you don't have many friends in the House of Witches, apart from Levi, who is also an outsider wizard, right?"

"..."

"I've heard that Levi is Fourth Ring Wizard cultivates both body and magic. I wonder where he is? Could you introduce me to him?" Sera was very interested in this young man who had been chosen by Triss.

"I don't know either. We separated after entering the city. Let's wait until after the Starry Gathering."

"Then come with me for a stroll?" Sera smiled charmingly, her beauty captivating and her demeanor not much inferior to that of Blue Dragon Lady.

"Okay... then," Ai Niya said after thinking for a moment.

The next few days.

Wizards arrived one after another.

Moreover, the wizards that arrive later become increasingly powerful.

Levi meditated quietly in the inn.

Suddenly, a dragon's roar echoed from the port.

He stood up and looked out the window.

A jet-black dragon with a wingspan of perhaps a hundred meters was seen circling above the harbor before slowly landing, and the wizards quickly moved away.

Levi's eyes narrowed.

"Shadow Wyvern... Mixed-blooded Dragon that once had individuals with Fifth Ring rings. How could such a thing exist in the Endless Sea?"

The bloodline of the Shadow Wyvern comes from an extremely rare and uncommon Pure-blooded Dragon called the Ender Dragon, also known as the Shadowy Dragon.

It is said that this type of Dragonkind has only ever shown its presence in the legendary Shadow Plane.

Only experts in Dragon School like Levi had ever heard of this Dragonkind.

"Judging from its strength, this Shadow Wyvern should be at the peak of the Fourth Ring, not yet the Fifth Ring... and it's a female dragon. It's a pity it already has an owner, otherwise, Laja could have captured it and taken it back as his wife. Although it's not of the wind or thunder element, it's still a wyvern... and they should be able to make a pair."

In addition, the Shadow Wyvern is a rare shadow-type Dragonkind, and shadow is a kind of negative energy, belonging to the same category as the blood of the Scarlet Dragon.

Levi closed his eyes and continued his cultivation. Tomorrow was the auction he had been looking forward to. He could already vaguely sense that powerful auras were arriving in Sea King City, including the owner of the Shadow Wyvern, who was clearly also a Fifth Ring wizard.

Port area.

A young sorcerer dressed in black robes touched the head of the Shadow Wyvern.

"Let's go back."

The next moment, the Shadow Wyvern transformed into a streak of black light and vanished from the sorcerer's hand.

"Lord Shadow Wolf, I've already reserved a private box for you at the auction. Please follow me!" A Fourth Ring Wizard greeted him with a fawning smile.

"Take me there."

The young wizard said calmly.

He is the head of the Shadow Ring division, a powerful Fifth Ring senior wizard, and also Fifth Ring apothecary, holding a high position in the Endless Sea.

Attending these grand events serves two purposes: firstly, to sell their refined Fifth Ring Breakthrough Potions for a good price; and secondly, to prepare some precious resources for their own breakthrough to the Origin Soul.

Originally, according to his agreement with a Fourth Ring Wizard in the organization, his Fifth Ring potion should have been given to that Fourth Ring Wizard. Who would have thought that the guy would die directly? For him, this couldn't be better.

"However, it is said that several old guys who have been missing for a long time and have one foot in the Origin Soul realm will participate in this auction, so there will inevitably be some open and covert struggles."

The next day.

The Stars Auction officially begun.

Levi arrived at the venue early.

He wore White Wolf Mask that allowed him to change his appearance, along with Hermit Rune, to conceal his presence and avoid being recognized by lurking enemies.

With so many participants at the auction, the organizers had to auction off the private rooms in advance.

A private room starts at 200,000 Great Stone! As a result, apart from those powerful and influential wizards, most ordinary wizards are not even qualified to enter the private rooms.

Levi was also reluctant to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy a private room seat.

A commotion erupted in the auction hall until a seemingly ordinary wizard, clad in blue scale armor and with a serious expression, arrived at the scene.

He looked around, and suddenly, a powerful spiritual force swept through the auction house and even the entire Sea King City.

"Primal Soul Wizard!" Levi's heart skipped a beat.

Faced with this fluctuation of spiritual power, he felt like a small boat that could capsize at any moment.

"I am Ronan Beasley, the Lord of Sea King City and Primal Soul Wizard of the Sea Abyss Alliance. You may call me [Sea-Expanding Wizard]. I will be in charge of maintaining order at this auction! Let me make this clear from the start: fighting is strictly prohibited within Sea King City. Everyone may compete based on their financial resources. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed on the spot... Meanwhile, Sea King City, if anyone attempts to commit illegal acts, they should be prepared to be wanted by the Tower of Stars."

This Primal Soul Wizard spoke sharply and commanded respect without being angry.

This made many people with ulterior motives calm down.

"There should be no problem Sea King City, but outside the city... it's hard to say. The credibility and authority of the Tower of Stars are no longer there." Levi sighed inwardly.

The wizards were efficient; without any unnecessary chatter, the auction began.

It is said that this Stars Auction feature over a hundred items, each of which would normally be the highlight of any major witch city auction.

The first item up for auction was a Fourth Ring breakthrough potion, which could increase the success rate by more than 20%, but it was much worse than the Succubus Potion that Levi had used before.

Even so, this potion still fetched a sky-high price of 600,000! This made Levi very unconfident about the upcoming Fifth Ring breakthrough potion.

One by one, the items were sold, with almost none going unsold. The auction was full of good stuff, and Levi was quite envious.

He kept his mission firmly in mind: Elemental Metal and the Fifth Ring breakthrough potion.

Finally, in the second half of the auction, he got the item he needed.

A piece of blue metal, the size of a child's head, shimmered with light, and the rich power of the water element permeated the venue.

"The next item for auction is a level 5 water Elemental Metal called [Ripple Meteorite Gold]. The starting price is 300,000 Great Stone, and each bid must be at least 1,000 Great Stone!"

Ripple Meteorite Gold is generally used to create defensive magical artifacts. It is extremely sturdy and possesses a magical counter-shock force.

"The Ripple Meteorite Gold and my Sonic Gold can be perfectly smelted to create a divine weapon exclusive to the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique. I must acquire it! As expected of the Stars Auction, it certainly did not disappoint me!"

Levi knew that once he bought the Ripple Meteorite Gold, he might lose his eligibility to compete for the Fifth Ring Potion.

But opportunity knocks but once.

Compared to the distant Fifth Ring Potion, the materials for divine weapons that can immediately boost strength are much more important!

So he didn't hesitate and started bidding for the Ripple Meteorite Gold.

In the end, they acquired this level-five material for 600,000 Great Stone.

Such a large Ripple Meteorite Gold could fetch 500,000 Great Stone if sold directly on the market.

There aren't many Fifth Ring Artifact Forging who can make witch artifacts with Ripple Meteorite Gold, and many people are saving their money to wait for better items later, so it wasn't too difficult for Levi to acquire it.

"We only have 3.2 million left, so the breakthrough potion is probably out of the question."

Levi didn't leave; he still held onto some hope.

Finally, the tenth item from the end began to be auctioned.

"Fifth Ring Breakthrough Potion, Green Emperor's Eye! It can increase the breakthrough success rate by about 16%! Starting bid is 1 million Great Stone, and each bid must be at least 10,000 Great Stone!"

This was only the tenth item from the bottom, and it was already Fifth Ring breakthrough potion. This startled Levi. How good would the items to come be? "1.2 million Great Stone!" In a private room, a Fifth Ring wizard began to bid.

This is clearly intended for his successors.

"1.5 million Great Stone!" Levi thought for a moment and then exclaimed.

He had to fight for the Fifth Ring Potion no matter what.

"Two million! I, Godfrey Leitney, will take it. I hope you'll all give me the honor."

Another wizard in a private room shouted, "It's Fifth Ring wizard from the Leitney Family!"

This reminded Levi of a scene from the auction he attended in Nether King City, where Ge Fu Lei's son, Jofrio, said the same thing.

As expected, like father, like son!

"How come your Leitney Family is so arrogant? Everyone has to give you face... Is your skin made of Great Stone?" A mocking voice came from another private room.

"The Red Dragon Queen, is it? I'll remember what you said today!" Ge Fu Lei said coldly.

"Whatever!"

Inside the private room, the Red Dragon Queen, with her arm around the Blue Dragon Lady's slender waist, laughed.

"There's no need to get angry with him," Blue Dragon Lady said softly.

"They are the masters of Solett. Solett's affairs are inextricably linked to them. I can't swallow this," the Red Dragon Queen said.

It's clear that the Leitney Family's influence is no match for the Fifth Ring Potion.

Levi and the other Fourth Ring Wizard continued bidding.

Inside the other private room, Shadow Wolf smiled.

This potion was the one he sold; the more fiercely they fought over it, the happier he was.

Ultimately, the price of this Fifth Ring breakthrough potion skyrocketed.

Levi remained calm and ultimately withdrew from the bidding.

"I'm leaving. I can't afford the rest anyway. Staying here might only draw me into the later conflicts, so it's better to leave early."

With this in mind, Levi went backstage, paid, received his Ripple Meteorite Gold, and quickly left, returning to Nether King City.

Because he left early and didn't encounter any robberies along the way, for some reason, he felt a faint sense of loss, as if he had lost a hundred million...

Wizard Tower.

"Phoenix, bring the iron!"

The firebird happily got to work.

This time, Levi wants to forge a shield as the Golden Snake Divine Weapon!

The next day.

Ai Niya hurriedly returned to Nether King City.

Just as Levi was about to go find Celia, he saw Ai Niya looking pale and asked, "What happened? Stars Auction?"

Ai Niya breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Levi and said, "It's good that you're back. You guessed right. It seems that someone sabotaged the auction and created chaos. Near the end of the auction, someone put up a [Soul Splitting Fruit] that was not originally in the auction, which alarmed several Primal Soul Wizard hidden in the city and caused a great commotion, resulting in a battle at the Origin Soul level."

The Sea-Expanding Wizard were trying to maintain order were all severely injured, the auction was in chaos, many Fourth Ring Wizard were killed or wounded, and even a Fifth Ring wizard perished on the spot. The great array of the entire Sea King City also suddenly failed when the riot broke out, and many of the perpetrators fled! Do you think the Black Wizard are up to something again? Isn't all of this too much of a coincidence?

I remember my mother saying that, generally speaking, to avoid causing disturbances among the Origin Soul and making it difficult to maintain order, the auction items at the Stars Auction wouldn't include rare items at the Origin Soul level. Therefore, the sudden appearance of the Soul Splitting Fruit this time seems like a deliberate act, premeditated!

After hearing this, Levi frowned deeply. At the same time, he was also very glad that he left the scene early. Being caught in the crossfire of the Origin Soul battle was no joke.

"It's possible. Don't leave the city for a while. You can go back to the House of Witches anytime here. With your mother here, we're safe and sound."

The thought of Ms. Triss filled Levi with a sense of security...
