Master, youre back, Knight Fred said as he opened the city gate for Levi.
Nothing bad happened, right? Levi smiled as he saw Knight Fred.
No. Did it go well?
Yup.
Levi quickly returned to his room. During his trip, he had spent all of his gold coins, and overnight, he beca a pauper once again.
However, he didnt co back empty-handed.
Two bottles of ambergris, two blood-only breathing thods, a long-term partnership, and miscellaneous books and scrolls
Levis trip has basically been fulfilled.
Now that everything is ready, only the secret dicine needs to be prepared.
Levi went to bed and had a soundless sleep.
The next day, the sun shone brightly over Blackwater Valley.
The preparation of dicine is not a technical job. All you need to do is mix it according to a fixed ratio and then knead it into small pills.
Levi successfully prepared two hundred pills.
If he makes any more, the effectiveness of the ambergris may be too diluted for it to be effective.
According to the formula, these two bottles of ambergris can be made into two hundred pills.
If he took one pill a day, it would be enough to last him the next six months.
Levi imdiately swallowed a pill. While his food was being prepared, he couldnt wait to start practising his breathing thod.
His journey has delayed his training by two days.
An hour later, Levi completed a breathing exercise.
[Black Snake Breathing thod 10]
My progression has increased by several tis, he exclaid. Too bad I can only take one pill a day.
Once he swallowed the pill, he felt as if a cold current was coursing through his veins, filling him with a sense of calm. With this blessing, he maintained a high degree of concentration throughout his training.
White smoke began to emit from his body, and he found that so impurities were being purged from it through the smoke.
Levi took advantage of this condition and started to practise his Golden Slash.
[Golden Slash Proficiency 3]
He didnt know if it was a placebo, but he felt stronger after taking the pill.
He practised the breathing thod and Golden Slash several tis and completed his training for today.
Then he took out the Frost Wolfs and Giant Bears Breathing thod that he bought at the auction.
These breathing thods are both superficial and blood-only, so they are considered to have the lowest value of all the breathing thods.
Levi opened the inheritance scroll of the Giant Bears Breathing thod.
On the parchnt, there is a pattern embedded in it, similar to his familys emblem. It was a bear that stood proudly over the land posed in several prominent boxing poses.
This is the Stone Bear family emblem.
Their breathing thod focuses on strength, which is complentary to mine.
The Frost Wolfs scroll was similar to the one before, embedded with the emblem of the Frost Wolf family.
And their breathing thod focuses on agility. If I can learn both of these breathing thods, would I be unstoppable? he chuckled to himself.
Lets try integrating the Frost Wolfs Breathing thod into my system, he said to himself. Agility is the most important thing in hand-to-hand combat, and I lack that.
His proficiency panel may seem diocre at first, but the most powerful part of it is how easy it was to integrate extrely difficult things into it.
All Levi had to do was play his cards right.
Every single effort will be rewarded in nurical terms.
Practise for him is now a linear, continuous road, not a blind, trial-and-error experience.
Of course, breathing thods cannot be mastered in a day or two.
Although the breathing thods were superficial, it would take a while for him to grasp the concepts behind them.
He didnt want to spend all of his energy on this either; he had to begin studying the design sketches that the Knight had given him, and after three months, he had to deliver him a batch of goods.
Days passed, and Levis life was extrely fulfilling. In the castles yard, the three bear brothers grew up happily. With a huge amount of food being supplied to them, their bodies were expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Soon, it was the third day of the Month of Flowers.
Levi learnt from Knight Fred that his two neighbours had sold their ancestral land in a successive manner, and the entire family moved to the Frozen City. It was said that the buyers of the land were the people running the Holy Church.
A church was to be built in the Land of the Silver Moon so that the Holy Light of the Loving Father could warm the hearts of this desolate place.
Levi cursed silently.
He always had a suspicion that the arrival of the Church would disrupt his peaceful life.
