The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 174 Opening a New Path for the Knights

At this time, Sten was only frozen by the soul of the ice element, but he was not dead.

After David took out the huge ice sculpture from the Soul of Space, he began to activate the power of the Soul of Contract.

Next, what he had to do was to use the soul of the contract and various ritual bonuses to turn the eighth-level body-refining wizard in front of him into his own servant.

David began to chant the ancient spell, his voice echoing in the empty space, every syllable full of power.

As the spell progressed, the power of the Contract Soul was gradually awakened, and it began to merge with David's will, forming an invisible energy fluctuation.

David used the energy of the transformed soul to directly condense a complex magic circle. This was one of the rituals he carefully prepared, which could be used to strengthen the power of the contract.

The light of the magic circle became brighter and brighter, gradually forming a halo that enveloped Sten in the ice sculpture.

As time passed, Sten in the ice sculpture began to move.

His body trembled slightly in the ice, as if resisting an external force.

But David's contracted soul and ritual bonus were too powerful, causing Sten's resistance to gradually weaken.

Finally, after a violent tremor, Sten's eyes slowly opened. His eyes were full of unwillingness and anger, but more of an irresistible power.

David knew that the contract had been successful.

He took a deep breath, stopped chanting the spell, and the light of the magic circle dissipated.

Sten walked out from the ice. Although his eyes were still cold, they no longer had the previous hostility.

He knelt on one knee and expressed his submission to David, because he had become David's servant and could not violate the power of the contract.

David looked at Sten in front of him and let out a breath, but his heart felt heavy.

This time the contract process was more difficult than he had expected.

In order to be able to contract with this eighth-level body-refining wizard, he separated a part of his contracted soul and integrated it into the other party's liquid mental power.

This means that he may not be able to contract powerful wizards as freely as he pleases in the future.

However, his efforts are worth it.

After all, this is an absolutely obedient eighth-level body-refining wizard servant.

Afterwards, David began to obtain the inheritance of the body-refining wizard from Sten.

Just as he judged, the body-refining wizard mainly trains life energy, and even the soul has been integrated with the life energy.

This allows the body-refining wizard to reach a state similar to the unity of soul and body.

From the inheritance of the body-refining wizard, David also discovered many similarities with the knights.

It is also a way to exercise life energy.

David felt that he might be able to combine the way of knighthood and the inheritance of the body-refining wizard to continue strengthening the seed of life.

In addition, he learned that there was a potion called Blood Spring in the wizarding world that could be used directly to improve the physical fitness of wizards.

Blood Spring Potion is a kind of strengthening potion commonly used by body-refining wizards. It is made from a variety of precious materials through complex alchemy.

This potion can act directly on the wizard's body, stimulate potential, enhance muscle and bone strength, and even accelerate the body's self-healing ability.

For ordinary wizards, the effect of blood spring potion is also very good.

Even if you don't plan to become a physical wizard, it is still necessary for a wizard to improve his physical fitness, which can greatly enhance his combat effectiveness.

However, the Blood Spring Potion is very difficult to prepare and is considered a luxury item among wizard apprentices because of its extremely high production cost and the required materials that are rare and difficult to obtain.

David obtained the formula and preparation method of the blood spring potion from Sten.

After carefully studying the formula and production method of the blood spring potion, he was suddenly stunned.

He discovered that the Blood Fountain Potion and the Blood Potion were actually somewhat similar. The most important thing was the blood of various rare and extraordinary magical beasts.

World of Warcraft.

Not uncommon in the wizarding world.

But they are all transformed after absorbing rich magic power.

Extraordinary magical beasts like those that are born with powerful bloodlines are also very rare in this world.

Moreover, the extraordinary magical beasts in this world, with the support of rich magic power, practice much faster than wizards.

Therefore, all the extraordinary monsters in this world are extremely powerful beings.

But in the Bright Continent, due to the thin magic power, no powerful extraordinary monsters will be born.

Moreover, the extraordinary magical beasts of the Bright Continent appeared along with the demonic tide, and their number was indeed terrifying, so there was no need to worry about not being able to find extraordinary magical beasts.

David immediately decided to make the Blood Spring Potion his next target.

If you can successfully make the Blood Fountain Potion, it will not only improve your own strength, but also help witches break through bottlenecks and reach new levels.

After having a new harvest, David showed a happy expression on his face.

After getting the information he wanted from Sten, he thought about it and decided to let Sten return to the Lone Whale Market to continue being his manager.

This time the slave ship had been completely destroyed, and all the dark wizards had been killed, so Sten could use this as an excuse to escape alone.

When Sten returns to the Lone Whale Market, he can use his own power to collect resources better, which is not difficult for Sten.

Just like the other materials of the blood spring potion, although the most precious is the blood of the extraordinary magical beast, those ordinary materials are difficult to find in a short time.

This time, Sten had a lot of auxiliary materials for preparing the blood spring potion, which saved David a lot of trouble.

Next, Sten returned to the Lone Whale Market and continued to help him collect other resources needed to refine the Blood Spring Potion, and he also had the means to do so.

In addition, after he killed so many law enforcers last time, the Lone Whale Market should have conducted a secret investigation, and Sten happened to infiltrate the market as a spy.

David returned to the camp only after Sten secretly left.

Although it was only a short time, through the efforts of these slaves, a simple camp was built.

Seeing the wizard coming back, the slaves hurried to greet him.

"From now on, you will live well here."

"In addition, I will leave some wizard books, and you can try to practice wizardry." David explained.

When the people in the field heard this, they all showed excitement on their faces.

Finally, David's eyes fell on the elf.

His eyes did not hide his curiosity at all.

Under David's gaze, Ellie Ryan's face turned slightly red.

She knew her appearance, and when she was on the slave ship, the slave traders were very interested in her.

If she were not an elf and could be sold at a higher price by maintaining her purity, she would have lost her purity by now.

And now there was also a hint of interest in the wizard's eyes, which made her subconsciously judge what the wizard meant.

"Maybe the wizard can help me find my people..."

She felt a little hesitant.

However, David quickly retracted his gaze.

Although he was very interested in this elf, he was not in a hurry.

Now, the more important thing for him is to return to the Continent of Light, bring back the inheritance of the body-refining wizard, and try to prepare the blood spring potion to improve his physical fitness.

David then recalled three seventh-level black wizard servants and asked them to take turns secretly protecting the people on the island, while he himself was sent back to the teleportation island.

Then, he activated the soul of space and opened the passage between the two worlds.

In the transmission space.

Lily was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

During this period, her strength has also greatly improved.

I believe that it won’t be long before her mental power can reach the peak of the fifth level.

Feeling the spatial fluctuations, she opened her eyes.

Then, David's figure appeared from the void.

"Your Excellency the Duke." Lily said in surprise.

David smiled and pulled Lily into his arms and kissed her.

"do you miss me?"

"Ah."

As her voice fell, one foot was lifted up directly.

Well--

Lily exclaimed, but her voice was immediately blocked.

After a long time.

David took Lily out of the teleportation space and returned to the wizard castle.

What follows is naturally another party.

David did not sleep all night and did not finish his practice until noon the next day.

Time and space can indeed greatly improve the efficiency of cultivation.

With the double time difference, the sky outside was just beginning to get bright.

But this time the gains were also great.

After the barbarian blood in Sura's body was systematically strengthened, it successfully broke through the sixth level, which also helped Sura's knight strength break through to the fifth level.

Since then, the blood strength of Leah, Rena and Sura has been raised to the sixth level.

After returning to the wizard castle from time and space.

David passed on the knowledge he gained from the wizarding world to the witches.

Afterwards, he summoned some extraordinary magical beasts and took the essence and blood from their bodies.

This time his main purpose was to help Leah make a breakthrough, so he specifically chose the blood of the wolf's extraordinary magical beast.

If those body-refining wizards in the wizarding world who find it extremely difficult to collect the blood of extraordinary magical beasts knew about this, they would surely all be envious and jealous.

In this way, the materials for refining the blood spring potion are gathered.

Ye Zi is now an advanced pharmacist apprentice and is fully capable of refining the blood spring potion at the wizard apprentice stage.

Leah's eyes lit up when she heard about the effects of the blood spring potion.

Now her knight strength has reached the peak of level five, and she is not far from breaking through to level six.

This blood spring potion that can assist body-refining wizards in their practice may help her successfully break through to the sixth level.

Then David took Ye Zi into the pharmacy.

"Ye Zi, it's up to you from now on." David said.

He knows a little about pharmacy, but certainly not as much as pharmacist Ye Zi.

According to the records in the books, the preparation of the Blood Spring Potion is extremely difficult and only experienced pharmacist apprentices can prepare it.

"Leave it to me, Your Excellency the Duke." Ye Zi smiled slightly. During this period, her pharmacist improvement had obviously reached a bottleneck.

She felt that refining the blood spring potion was also an opportunity for her to break through as a pharmacist.

Then, she took out the blood of the extraordinary magical beast and various potions and minerals used to prepare the blood spring potion and placed them on the refining table.

Ye Zi took a deep breath and began to refine the blood spring potion.

She first carefully poured the blood of the extraordinary monster into a special crucible.

Then some potions were added, which required precise proportions to ensure the effectiveness of the potion.

Ye Zi was fully focused, her hands operating skillfully, adding each ingredient accurately to micrograms.

The liquid in the crucible began to boil, emitting a faint mist, and its color gradually changed.

Ye Zi knew that this was a sign that the medicine was starting to take effect.

But just as she was about to add the last of the ore powder, the liquid in the crucible suddenly boiled violently and turned cloudy.

Leaf quickly cast a cooling spell, trying to stabilize the reaction, but it was too late.

The first attempt ended in failure.

Ye Zi was not discouraged. She cleaned the crucible and started again for the second attempt.

This time, she adjusted the order of adding materials and the temperature control, but just when the potion was about to take shape, a tiny mistake caused the potion to fail again.

Ye Zi bit her lip, she knew she couldn't give up.

After several failures, Ye Zi realized that the purity and activity of the blood of the extraordinary monsters were the key to refining the blood spring potion.

She decided to purify the monster blood first to ensure its activity.

In this way, five days passed.

After the purification process, the leaves were refined again.

This time, she was more careful and precise in every step.

The liquid in the crucible gradually became clearer and the color became brighter.

Finally, the leaves are added with a pinch of special mineral powder.

The liquid in the crucible suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and then gradually calmed down. Ye Zi held his breath and waited for a moment.

After the light dissipated, a bottle of crystal clear liquid appeared in the crucible, emitting a faint luster.

The blood spring potion was successfully refined!

Ye Zi looked at this scene with excitement in her eyes.

She could feel that the shackles that had been trapping her had been successfully broken free.

The next moment, Ye Zi's mental power suddenly increased a lot and successfully reached the peak of the fifth level.

All it takes is an opportunity for Ye Zi's mental power to break through to the sixth level and become a sixth-level wizard.

"Ye Zi, thank you for your hard work."

David said softly, gently wiping the sweat off Ye Zi's forehead.

He watched the entire process of Ye Zi refining the potion and knew how difficult it was to make the potion.

"It's not hard."

Ye Zi shook her head. For her, refining the potion was a very pleasant process.

"I'll reward you in the evening."

David smiled and left the pharmacy with Ye Zi.

At this time in the wizard castle, Leah was managing the daily affairs of the castle.

Although there are many more maids in the castle, the management work still needs to be left to Leah and the two lotus flowers.

"Master David, Sister Ye."

Seeing the two people coming out of the pharmacy, Leah hurried to greet them.

"Come on, try the effect." David said with a smile.

"it is good."

A look of surprise appeared on Leah's face, and she carefully took the blood spring potion.

After a period of adjustment.

Leah walked into the training room holding the blood spring potion.

This room is cast with a special spell that can enhance the effects of cultivation while protecting the practitioner from external interference.

Leah took a deep breath and drank the blood spring potion in one gulp.

The medicine entered her body and immediately produced a strange feeling.

She could feel a warm current flowing through her body, a gentle yet powerful force that seemed to awaken the dormant potential in her.

Leah closed her eyes and began to channel the power using the Knight's Breathing Technique.

Her body gradually emitted a faint glow, which was a sign of power flowing within her.

As time went on, Leah's breathing became deep and even, and her body began to tremble slightly, a precursor to a breakthrough.

Finally, after a deep breath, Leah's body shook violently and a powerful force burst out from her body.

This force swept through the entire training room like a storm!

Leah slowly opened her eyes. She could clearly feel that her strength had undergone a qualitative leap.

Breaking through from the peak of level five to level six in one fell swoop!
Leah stood up, feeling the surging power in her body.

She had never dared to even think about becoming a sixth-rank knight in the past, but now she had successfully broken through to this level.

If it was before, this would have been the most powerful force among all the kingdoms!
David was using his extraordinary perception to sense everything, intending to see the effect of the blood spring potion.

Seeing that Leah successfully broke through to the sixth level with just a bottle of blood spring potion, he couldn't help but sigh that the blood spring potion was indeed powerful.

No wonder the body-refining wizard’s practice is inseparable from the blood spring potion.

In addition, during Leah's breakthrough, David keenly noticed the subtle connection between the sixth-level Frost Giant Wolf bloodline and the blood spring potion.

This connection is not accidental, but the result of the interaction between the properties of the blood spring potion and the frost giant wolf bloodline in Leah's body.

The powerful vitality and energy contained in the blood spring potion activated the blood power in Leah's body, further strengthening and purifying her frost giant wolf bloodline.

This enhancement not only improved Leah's physical strength and resistance, but also brought about a qualitative change in her bloodline abilities.

David could feel that the blood spring potion had a much stronger effect on the knight than a simple body-refining wizard.

After all, the blood fountain potion itself uses the blood of extraordinary bloodline as the main material to improve the physical fitness of the wizard.

While he was thinking, Leah had already come out of the training room.

When she saw Master David at the door, Leah rushed over to him with excitement on her face.

David smiled slightly when he saw this, picked up Leah directly, and walked towards the room, "Come, let your husband help you check the results of your practice."

Liya blushed and nodded.

She could feel that her physical fitness had greatly improved.

In this way, she can serve Master David better and help Master David with his practice.

After a long time.

[You have completed a training session, Frost Giant Wolf King Bloodline +6478]

As Leah's knight strength broke through to the sixth level, the effect of her training had indeed been greatly improved.

To upgrade the eighth-level Frost Giant Wolf King bloodline to the ninth level, five million experience points are required.

But with the current training results, David can feel that it won’t be long before his Frost Giant Wolf King bloodline will have a breakthrough.

The seventh-level bloodline can give birth to extraordinary powers, the eighth-level bloodline can enhance the body's extraordinary powers, and I wonder what changes the ninth-level bloodline can bring.

"Let's continue."

"it is good."

In the following period of time, David began to increase the frequency of practice with Leah.

The strength of the Frost Giant Wolf King's bloodline is increasing little by little.

During this period of time, Ye Zi used the materials he brought back to refine thirty bottles of blood spring potion.

The most difficult and precious resource to collect for the Blood Fountain Potion is the blood of extraordinary magical beasts. This problem has been solved. Next, we just need to let Sten continue to collect other auxiliary materials to continuously refine the Blood Fountain Potion.

Relying on these blood spring potions, the knight strength of Reina, Sura, Irene and Luen has been greatly improved.

Lena successfully raised the power of the Snow Demon Soul to the peak of the fifth level.

But the Snow Demon's soul must break through together with the mental power, so it is stuck at the bottleneck of the breakthrough.

As Erin had just broken through to the fifth level, her strength had only just reached the peak of the fifth level.

Luen broke through the knight's strength to the fourth level, and David also successfully upgraded the mountain rock lion bloodline to the seventh level limit, gaining extraordinary defense.

In this way, David successfully obtained the knight's six extraordinary powers.

Extraordinary physique, extraordinary strength, extraordinary defense, extraordinary speed, extraordinary soul and extraordinary perception allowed his body to undergo a transformation in an instant.

Of course, this feeling was very mysterious. David could only feel that his body had indeed been strengthened, and at the same time, the feeling of divine connection had become stronger.

“The human body itself is a huge treasure.”

"Perhaps I can continue to dig for this treasure through the power of my bloodline."

David pondered in his mind.

This can be used as a direction for future bloodline cultivation.

During this period, in addition to the knight training, he had also begun the training of the body-refining wizard. The commonalities between the knight and the body-refining wizard allowed him to improve his strength very quickly.

The powerful life seed also provides all the life energy needed for body refinement.

The extraordinary soul can meet the requirements of the body-refining wizard for the integration of soul and body, and can also be further strengthened!
The practice of the body-refining wizard can in turn help strengthen the life energy contained in himself, thereby training the seed of life.

He found that this method could more effectively train the seed of life and make it stronger.

This mutually reinforcing relationship made him move more firmly and quickly on the path of body refining, and within a short period of time, his body refining wizard levels began to break through one after another.

In addition, physical fitness and life seed level are also improved.

As time went by, David's body and soul underwent tremendous changes. Under his careful cultivation, the seed of life also became stronger, providing him with a constant supply of life energy.

In this way, in addition to growing by integrating blood power, the life seed also has another way to increase the intensity of life energy.

However, blood power can improve the life level of the life seed, while the practice method of the body refining wizard can improve the strength of the life seed.

The two can completely complement each other.

Next, all you need to do is upgrade the Frost Giant Wolf King's bloodline to the ninth level.

He can try to continue integrating other blood powers, allowing the Frost Giant Wolf King's bloodline to continue to transform, and thus obtain life energy feedback again.
