“The Flower Knight is a legendary figure like the Blood Knight. As expected, she has also become a wizard. Moreover, she has advanced to the fifth circle in such a short time. She is an intermediate wizard. She is already a prominent figure in the Endless Sea. You are right. We are too weak now. We are not qualified to invite her to join us,” said Levi as he smiled.
However, given some time, Levi might be able to catch up to the Flower Knight.
After talking to Emperor Mu, Levi did not return to Black Fire Island. Instead, he went to the Gray Tower.
The Saint Ape Breathing Technique required the bloodline of an ape with a strong affinity with the earth element. Levi was unsure if he could find such a
creature in the Endless Sea.
He found Manla and asked him to look for Saint Ape secret medicine ingredients. It would be best if Manla managed to find a first-circle transcendent ape creature. Although Levi had a Great Ice Ape King in the human world, it was an ape with an affinity with the water element. Moreover, the blood of the Great Ice Ape King was barely enough for Levi to cultivate the Giant Breathing Technique. Therefore, the Great Ice Ape King couldn’t provide more for other breathing techniques.
He also completed his pharmacy lessons in the tower. After that, Levi, Winnie, and Marlene had a small tea party.
During the tea party, Levi learned that the Island Master of Whale Song Island,
Morpheus, had recently come out of seclusion. However, Whale Song Island had been keeping a low profile lately and had not caused any trouble.
“Morpheus is actually still alive!” Levi sighed internally. “How wonderful it would be if Baron Deep Sea had killed off Morpheus. Damn it, no good deed goes unpunished.”
Levi wondered, “But now that the Tower Master is a Third-Circle Wizard, he’s not afraid of Morpheus. I wonder who the Fifth-Circle Wizard backing Morpheus is. What is his intention? Why would he pay such a huge price to save Morpheus?”
Apart from Morpheus, Baron Deep Sea was also still alive. They were both threats to the region.
Levi planned. “After we return to Black Fire Island, we must work hard to set up the array and upgrade the security measures there. That way, we can cultivate in peace.”
Levi went to the Tower Master’s room.
The Tower Master asked, “You’re finally back. Did you succeed in refining the alchemical creatures I asked you to?”
Levi took out the lowest quality Swordsman Mantis he had refined.
“I suppose this can be considered a success. Tower Master, what do you think?” asked Levi as he smiled.
“Hmm…Not bad.” The Tower Master looked at the Swordsman Mantis and tapped on it, listening carefully.
“There are still some flaws in some places. It’s not perfect. However, for a beginner like you, it’s already terrific that you can refine a zero-circle alchemical creature like the Swordsman Mantis, which requires greater precision. It was not a waste for me to personally guide you.” The Tower Master revealed a satisfied smile.
“It’s all thanks to you, Tower Master,” replied Levi.
The Tower Master replied, “Don’t get cocky. Your current skills are still far from refining a first-circle alchemical creature. I’ll give you an assignment. This book is filled with alchemy runes and Alchemy Styles that will be used to refine first-circle alchemical creatures. Study it well. Only after you’ve mastered all of this will you be qualified to try refining a first-circle alchemical creature.”
“Alright, thank you, Tower Master!” Levi left the White Tower with his assignment. Before leaving the Gray Tower, he went to Jorman’s place to draw blood.
He had been learning about arrays for some time but still hadn’t achieved anything. This time, he made up his mind. He wouldn’t stop until he obtained an array skill on the proficiency panel!
After returning to Black Fire Island, Levi began to study the Book of Cypher day and night. During this period, apart from cultivating the necessary breathing techniques and Meditation Arts, Levi spent the rest of his time studying arrays.
Finally, in the Month of Flowing Fire, Levi’s proficiency panel changed.
[Levi]
[Array: Level 1 (1/1000)]
Levi mumbled, “Finally, I did it. Next, I’ll start making the simplest zero-circle array in the Book of Cypher.”
Levi was overjoyed. He had registered the path of arrays, the most challenging path to cultivate, in his proficiency panel. Next, he could start cultivating it. Just like potions, arrays were not an independent school of study. There were no special Meditation Arts for array wizards, so there was one less thing to worry about. In the future, Levi only needed to work on this one skill.
The Book of Cypher recorded dozens of arrays of various sizes.
Among them were four types of second-circle arrays: Sea Demon Cage, Swarm Shark Dance, Misty Forest, and Lightless Shield. They were a control array, a killing array, a confusion array, and a defense array, respectively.
There were six types of first-circle arrays, and one of them was the Shadowless Maze Array that allowed Pinoz to hide his aura completely and even fool Marlene.
The rest were all zero-circle arrays, which could be set up by even apprentice wizards.
Of course, there was also a difference in difficulty among the zero-circle arrays.
Considering his current situation, Levi decided to start with the simplest one.
This array was called Cloud Mist. According to the Book of Cypher, it was a relatively unorthodox array. This array only had one function, and that was watering plants. It was similar to the automatic greenhouses in his previous life.
Levi now had a large herbal field on Black Fire Island. The herbal field was usually guarded by eight Swordsman Mantises. However, these alchemical creatures could only follow the most straightforward watering instructions. They could only use ordinary water, which could only fulfill the basic needs for the growth of herbs. Levi needed to personally use the Flower Fairy’s Dew skill to water many herbs, especially the first-circle herbs. The water from this skill contained rich elemental power and factors that were beneficial to the growth of herbs. It could promote the development of herbs and increase their efficacy..
