Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 54 [Li Wei, the Outlaw] (Please continue reading)

On his way home, Li Wei kept thinking.

Why was an assassin sent to kill me as soon as I left Blackwater Valley? Why was I recognized even though I was wearing a mask after entering the city?

Then, recalling that the assassin had also tried to kill him when Knight Fred was leaving the territory.

These two events cannot both be coincidences.

There's only one possibility: there's a mole in Blackwater Valley!

There's a mole who keeps informing on me to the Deathbird's Voice or other people who want to get rid of me.

Li Wei's face was gloomy. Blackwater Valley was not large, and it would not be difficult to find the mole. He already had a plan in mind.

After returning to Blackwater Valley, Li Wei first hid all the gold coins in the small vault of his shelter. Apart from keeping some to maintain the daily expenses of the castle, he had already figured out how to spend the rest.

When Sir Fred saw that Li Wei had arrived safely, he finally felt relieved.

"Young master, you've been gone for a month, and I was so worried about you," said Sir Fred.

"Fred, I had a good trip this time. Now I need to focus on practicing my breathing techniques. I have something to ask you to take care of for me in the next few days," Li Wei said.

"no problem."

……

The year 1007 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Green Grass.

Rumors have circulated that Edward the White Horse Knight, the rising star of the Emerald Royal Family, a legendary figure in the entire Emerald Kingdom, and hailed as the number one knight below the legendary knights, has failed to break through to the legendary knight realm. The veracity of this news is unknown. Afterwards, the royal family claimed that it was a rumor, and that the White Horse Knight is still on his path to becoming a legend. The final result has not yet been determined.

If the White Horse Knight can become a legendary knight, then he may be the first legend born after the millennium.

The status of the Emerald Royal Family will also rise accordingly. A legendary knight will be enough to deter many ambitious and covetous nobles and underground forces.

Meanwhile, in Icewind City, the Church's investigation into the fire that occurred more than a month ago has also yielded results. It appears that someone murdered Knight Bernard and set fire to his mansion. The Church found the unburned remains of Knight Bernard in the ashes of the fireplace in the mansion. The Church strongly condemns this act of murder and arson.

For a time, panic gripped Icewind City. The witty and frugal Knight Bernard died at the hands of an unknown outlaw. Where was the outlaw's conscience?

On the other hand, Sir Bernard is a true knight, and a mid-level knight at that, one of the best among knights. If he is no match for the madman, then in the entire Icewind City, apart from the great knight Earl Silver Mountain and a few high-level and peak knights, who can guarantee that they can survive in front of such an outlaw madman?

Earl Silvermount was furious, believing this to be a provocation from thugs. He deployed his Silver Fang Guards to patrol Icewind City around the clock, vowing to fight the dark forces to the end!

Meanwhile, in Blackwater Valley, the culprit behind the murder of Knight Bernard, the outlaw Baron Levy, is brewing a secret potion in his sanctuary. After some time, he has successfully brewed all thirteen bottles of ambergris into the potion, and now he will be grinding experience points while consuming the potion.

"The soldier disguised as me has left Blackwater Valley. Now we'll see who takes the bait."

Li Wei stayed in the shelter, talking to himself.

After returning to Black Serpent Castle, Li Wei rarely showed his face in public, always feeling that there was a traitor within the castle.

So he wanted to conduct an experiment that night. During the day, he had a soldier who was closest to him in build and appearance impersonate him, wearing his clothes and riding his horse out of Blackwater Valley, claiming that he was going to Icewind City to visit a friend.

Blackwater Valley is such a small place. If there really is a mole, he will definitely sneak out of Blackwater Valley to deliver the message when no one is paying attention. After all, there are no cell phones in this world, so the message can only be delivered by hand. Li Wei wants to see who will leave the valley tonight.

Li Wei didn't know if this method would work; he could only say he'd give it a try, and if it didn't, he'd think of other ways.

Inside the shelter, Li Wei cultivated while waiting for news.

Because I was away for a month, my breathing technique practice was delayed, but now that I have the secret medicine, I will be able to catch up soon.

After taking the secret medicine, he practiced the Black Serpent Breathing Technique once.

The proficiency level of the Black Snake Breathing Technique increased by 20 points.

As his cultivation level improved, the efficiency of his breathing techniques increased significantly, and Li Wei's appetite also increased.

Unlike Sir Fred, Livy's breathing technique was in a period of rapid improvement. Sir Fred, after all, was getting old and had begun to decline. His energy and blood were starting to weaken, so his need for food was much smaller.

Li Wei is different; he is in his growth phase, and his energy is constantly expanding. However, after Li Wei advances to become a formal knight, his digestion and utilization rate of food is several times that of the quasi-knight stage.

Even though he eats more than he did at the Quasi-Knight stage, he only needs to defecate once or twice a day. The vast majority of the substances and nutrients in his food are efficiently absorbed by the Life Seed and used to catalyze the black energy and enhance his physical attributes.

Although Li Wei has not yet advanced to the intermediate knight level, he can feel that as his proficiency increases, the amount of black energy in his body is also slowly increasing. This is a process of continuous quantitative change, and the key point of qualitative change is the point of each realm.

After completing the Black Serpent Breathing Technique, Li Wei began practicing the Siren Breathing Technique. This breathing technique didn't involve any secret medicine; it was simply a matter of using the liver.

Li Wei has only been practicing the Siren Breathing Technique for a few months, and now he has already reached the second level of the technique. Moreover, the proficiency progress bar is more than halfway through. Li Wei estimates that he will be able to reach the third level next month.

The more Li Wei practiced breathing techniques, the more he could feel that these breathing techniques, whether speed-based or power-based, seemed to have their own merits, but in fact they were largely the same in general.

Li Wei sometimes even felt that all breathing techniques might have the same origin.

In short, Li Wei estimated that, following this trend, the higher his realm would be and the more extreme breathing techniques he would master, the faster he could progress from beginner to the limit of a breathing technique. It was even possible that he could progress from beginner to the limit of a breathing technique in just one month.

Not long after completing his Siren Breathing Technique, he faintly heard commotion and the roars of the three brothers coming from the castle. Li Wei's heart skipped a beat; it seemed that Sir Fred and his men had made their move. He got up and left.

On a path outside the castle, three brothers surrounded a man, baring their teeth and glaring at him menacingly.

Before long, Li Wei and Sir Fred arrived, and the soldier was surrounded, looking flustered.

"My lord? You're back?"

Thank you to the person who is severing all ties and love and has no thoughts for the 100 donations.
