Fifth-Tier Human-Faced Spider!
) The Holy Radiance Calendar 1008, the Month of the North Wind.
The Holy City was bustling with activity.
Five days until the 300th anniversary celebration.
Levi emerged from his meditative state.
He opened his eyes and looked at his arm, the fine hairs rising and falling with Levi's breathing.
Outside the street, the movements of passing pedestrians or carriages were all transmitted to Levi's hairs and skin through the vibrations of the earth and air.
In an instant.
Levi is like an Amazonian tarantula, keenly observant, always waiting for its prey to come to it.
"The Human-Faced Spider Breathing Technique has reached Fifth Order. My perception range is much larger now. It's no longer ten meters in diameter; it feels like twenty meters," Levi muttered to himself.
He opened the Proficiency Panel.
Levi —
Human-Faced Spider Breathing Technique: Fifth Order (1/30000), Special Effects: Intermediate Vibration Sense, Spider Sense.
"So far, the Spider Sense has not given any warnings, so it seems that I am relatively safe in the near future. Well, with my strength and low profile, it would be hard for me to be unsafe."
"I don't know what's going on over the territory either. Oh well, I can't worry about it too much; it's no use worrying anyway."
Levi smiled wryly, realizing that he had been away from the territory for so long without even noticing.
"Besides mastering the Fifth Order the Human-Faced Spider Breathing Technique, I've also mastered the basics of the Blue Falcon Breathing Technique. I'm getting the hang of it faster and faster now."
"The Secret Medicine for the Blue Falcon Breathing Technique aren't difficult to obtain; they're all common items. I'll try to grind it to its limit within six months. If my prediction is correct, this Breathing Technique can reach the Fifth Order. Based on the nature of the Proficiency Panel, a Fifth-Order Limit Breathing Technique should be equivalent to two Fourth-Order Limit Breathing Technique. So, the remaining two points of progress for breaking through the limit of the Siren Breathing Technique should be secured."
Levi felt his life was fulfilling as he experienced each step of improvement and growth.
After getting up and eating something, Levi went to the Shining Tavern.
The auction is over, and Levi has to go get the money.
He was also eager to see how much money he would make from selling the Mithril armor he had crafted.
The Wild Dog Knight has been nowhere to be seen lately; he's probably busy with his own business.
Levi and he agreed to meet at the Holy City Grand Ceremony so that they could witness the Great Knight's feat of tearing apart the Earth Dragon Beast.
Upon arriving at the Shining Tavern, the staff immediately recognized Terra Master from his signature imposing golden mask.
"Master, the auction has been successfully completed. Your Silver Scale Armor has been purchased by a major client in the Inner City for a high price of three hundred Gold Coins."
"The Forging industry in the Holy City is now in an uproar. They probably never imagined that there are still Legendary Master Smith alive in this world."
"Many important figures want to inquire about you from us. Compared to ordinary armor, wealthy people prefer custom-made, well-fitting armor."
The staff member said excitedly backstage.
Levi was very satisfied. The three hundred Gold Coins mentioned by the staff were Tuva Coin, which, when converted to the standard Gold Coins of the Emerald Kingdom, amounted to a full six hundred gold coins!
This price is astronomical.
One reason is that the cost is already very high due to the addition of Mithril.
On the other hand, there's the brand effect of the Master Smith.
This is because the people of the Holy City had never heard of the Master Smith Golden Warhammer, before. As Golden Warhammer's fame grows, the value of his Master Smith will increase even more.
Of course, the same scarcity marketing strategy is still necessary.
Levi only needs to ensure that he earns enough money for his cultivation, and that he always has some spare money on him.
In summary, disregarding Levi's time investment, this Silver Scale Armor yielded a net profit of over 500 gold—a huge profit! From now on, Levi only needs to sell one or two pieces a month. A normal Master Smith, even with a month of tireless Forging and the assistance of numerous apprentices and Forging, can only produce a maximum of two pieces of armor.
If Levi were to unleash his full Forging, he could easily produce more than a dozen pieces in a month, but that would interfere too much with his cultivation, leaving him unable to do anything else.
I've arranged the next delivery time with the staff.
Levi went to the bounty section again and learned from the staff that someone had contacted him.
Levi's heart stirred, and he went to the private room.
The other person was also wearing a mask, with a hunched and thin body. Although dressed in commoners' clothes, there was a hidden aristocratic air about them.
Levi could sense the air of weariness emanating from the other person; he seemed to be very old.
"Young man, do you need Ambergris?" the man asked, his voice deep and weathered.
"That's right." Levi naturally couldn't place all his hopes on the Holy City Grand Ceremony four days later. Moreover, he knew that the Ambergris from a single Earth Dragon Beast would at most allow him to cultivate to the level of High-Rank Knight. The peak level and the Great Knight would also require Ambergris. In short, the more of this stuff, the better.
"I know someone who has Ambergris. That person not only has Ambergris, but also an egg of a Earth Dragon Beast, the one that was laid by the Earth Dragon Beast that will be killed by the Empire's Fist in four days." This person made a startling statement.
"I don't need the eggs of the Earth Dragon Beast. I only need Ambergris. If you have Ambergris, I'm willing to buy it at market price. I'll buy as much as you have. If you don't have it, there's no need to waste my time," Levi said impatiently.
It's uncertain whether the Earth Dragon Beast's eggs can hatch. Even if they can, it's unknown how long it will take for them to grow to the age where they can be Ambergris. Unlike the Northern Giant Bear, which only takes seven or eight years to reach adulthood, these creatures need at least several decades.
He didn't want to become someone else's pawn for no reason; this person clearly wanted to use Levi to do something shady.
"In the mansion of the Inner City's Minister of Finance, Mai Ka, there is a Divine Statue made of Ambergris. It was a gift from his son-in-law to him for his sixtieth birthday. Although I don't know how much Ambergris you need, I suppose a two-foot-tall Divine Statue made of pure solid Ambergris is worth a fortune, isn't it?"
After the man finished speaking, Levi's heart couldn't help but change slightly.
If this is true, then Mai Ka and his son-in-law are incredibly wasteful.
They actually solidified such precious Ambergris into Divine Statue.
"Is this the world of the great men?" Levi suddenly felt a deep sense of dread towards the Black Mountain Duke.
The Minister of Finance of the Tuva Empire held a position similar to that of the Black Mountain Duke.
Lao Tzu hunted Earth Dragon Beast and traveled thousands of miles for this little bit of Ambergris, and did menial work every day, and these damned big shots use it as Divine Statue? Ridiculous! "Who is Mai Ka's son-in-law?" Levi asked.
"Mu Di".
The person slowly uttered a name.
Levi was taken aback. He had heard of the name Mu Di.
During this period, in the preparation for the ceremony, this person's other name was mentioned time and time again.
To the people of the Holy City of Landis, this man is a living Legendary Realm.
He is the empire's strongest force, the guardian of the Holy City, and the leader of the Storm Knight Order.
His brilliance even surpassed that of the emperor.
"Empire's Fist! Mu Di!"
