The Witcher: Grinding Proficiency Starting with the Witcher

Turka smirked mischievously.

"Since it's a challenge, it should be exciting."

"Water ghosts are social creatures; it's in their nature to gang up on the few."

"ha!"

The water ghosts let out shrieks and charged toward Li Wei.

Aite squinted, drew a silver sword from behind his back, and threw it in front of Li Wei.

"Got it."

"laugh!"

The silver light fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Li Wei quickly dropped the knight's sword in his hand, gripped the intricately patterned hilt with his right hand, and pulled it out of the ground.

[Sword Sense] triggered!

[Irenera: A silver sword forged by elves, 110 cm long and weighing 1.5 kg. The blade is long and snow-white, engraved with elven patterns. When slashing, it reduces air abrasion. It is a rare and exquisite silver sword. It increases strength by 10% and damage to weak silver creatures by 30%.]

Strength 1.4-1.54

A force rose up from the ground.

Silver Sword, Irenela!

There was no time to appreciate the sword in his hand.

A foul, fishy stench assaulted our senses.

The three-headed water ghost's bulging, dead fish eyes, like bright lights in a dark room, rushed in from three directions.

Without the previous dim lighting, the water ghost's movements became clearly visible.

Li Wei took a step forward to the left and turned his body.

A pair of sharp fins and claws swept past its side, whistling as they tore through the air.

The water ghost that rushed forward first missed its target. Li Wei gave a soft shout, and the slender sword in his hand fell down.

"Hiss!"

The sword blade struck the water demon's scaled back, making a slight sound.

Immediately, it sliced ​​into the water ghost's body as easily as cutting tofu, without any resistance, cleaving it in half at the waist.

"thump!"

The water ghost fell to the ground, its waist wound revealing a large amount of intestines mixed with a large amount of blood.

"Waaaaah!"

The water ghost pounded the ground with both hands, and a mournful howl came from its hideous head.

The pitiful state of their kind did not frighten the other two water ghosts at all; they did not even pause in their steps.

Li Wei twisted his body, swinging his arms to wield the sword.

"laugh!"

The water ghost was cut in half again.

His dark eyes narrowed instantly!

Take a step forward and unleash a spinning cross slash!

"Wow!"

He cleaved the last charging water ghost from the top of its head, spraying blood and brain matter everywhere.

Li Wei felt extremely excited as he felt the warmth on his face and the rusty taste on his lips.

Li Wei looked at the system prompt, feeling excited, but did not install it immediately.

Any unusual occurrence in public will not escape the eyes of a witcher.

"Clap clap clap!"

Applause suddenly erupted.

Turka clapped his hands and then jumped off the three-meter-high platform.

This scene made Li Wei's heart pound with fear.

Turka walked towards me and said, "Well done."

Aite also jumped down and walked closer to look at the water ghost that wasn't completely dead yet.

"The cuts are really neat. You've only been practicing the Spinning Cross Slash for less than two days, and you already have this level of proficiency. You must be close to mastering the power of vibration."

Li Wei said respectfully, "It's thanks to Uncle Aite's excellent teaching."

Aite smiled and raised his hand to wave.

Li Wei understood and lifted Irene up with both hands.

It was only then that I took a good look at the silver sword.

The sword is snow-white, with deep blue patterns engraved on its central axis, which are ancient elven runes.

The material of the sword hilt is not visible; it is only a piece of black wood wrapped with mithril threads, and it feels like velvet to the touch, which is very comfortable.

Seeing the burning gaze in Levi's eyes, Aite smiled and asked, "How does it feel to use?"

Li Wei truthfully stated, "It's very sharp, and it's also very comfortable to hold."

"Haha, Irene is a beauty on the sword. Holding her is like touching a young girl's hand. She is a rare gem."

As he spoke, Aite reached out and grasped the hilt of Irene's sword, then sheathed it behind his back.

Li Wei nodded, his eyes lingering on the subject.

According to the plot, shouldn't you have taken a liking to my talent and given it to me?

Turka naturally noticed this and patted Li Wei on the shoulder.

"Once you obtain the Witcher's Badge and communicate with the Elemental Ring, you will naturally have a silver sword that belongs to you."

"Yes, Uncle Turka."

Turka looked at the water ghost, "The kill animation was pretty good."

"It's a pity that two of them were cut in half at the waist, destroying their stomachs, and the other one had its head completely severed."

"Li Wei, do you remember which parts of the water ghost are the most valuable?"

Li Weigang had relaxed a bit, but when asked another question, he immediately straightened his back.

Aite glanced at the serious-looking Turka, shook his gray hair helplessly, and felt bored.

Li Wei pondered for a moment.

"A water demon's brain, gill filaments around its mouth, mucus on its abdomen, and claws, teeth, and scales."

"Among them, the brains of water ghosts are the most valuable and are excellent alchemical items."

Turka nodded. "That's right. Water ghost brains are highly poisonous, but they can also neutralize other toxins. They are often found in alchemical items."

"Once the gills are dried, they can alleviate lung ailments. The abdominal mucus has already been explained to you by the sorceress Mavis. The claws and scales are used to make weapons."

"The entire Water Ghost is a huge treasure trove."

"I'll demonstrate for you how to completely remove the water ghost's brain."

As he spoke, he took out a knife, lifted the still-not-quite-dead water ghost's head with one hand, and with a forceful slash of the knife in his right hand, removed its head, his technique extremely skillful.

Aite shrugged. "I'm not going."

Turka nodded and led Levi to the laboratory next door.

Levi looked around and saw a wide variety of experimental equipment and bottles and jars, far more than he had seen in Mavis.

One of the huge formaldehyde jars contained a grotesque lizard head.

Turka was already used to it.

"That's the head of a pterosaur. That beast took a lot of my effort back then."

The two walked to the worktable.

Turka took out a pottery jar, pushed it in front of Livy, and gestured for him to look at it carefully.

Li Wei looked at the white, gritty substance in the jar and then sniffed it.

"It's preservative salt."

Turka said, "That's right. The first step in removing the water ghost's brain is to drain all the water from its head, and the preservative salt can also prevent it from rotting inside."

As he spoke, he took out another earthenware jar and from it took out a water ghost head that looked much smaller.

"Look, this is the water ghost's head that has been cleaned up. Now, we'll use a silver knife to cut it open from the top..."

Li Wei looked at it intently.

Turka's large, rough palms are perfect for holding a small knife, and the knife handles them with exceptional delicacy and smoothness.

In no time at all, he had completely removed a dried-out water ghost brain.

[New skill detected in host]

Alchemy: 0/100 (Beginner)

Alchemy Proficiency +10!

Alchemy?

Li Wei glanced at the system interface out of the corner of his eye.

Another new skill revealed?

Turka placed the water ghost into the sealed jar, handed the knife in his hand to Li Wei, and took out a new jar of preservative salt.

"Now, you try it."
