Chapter 1032: Fusion! Deep Blue Body! (3)

After all, once he left this place, it would be difficult to purchase Burning Faction spells on a large scale again.

Among them was a fifth-circle model, precisely the advanced spell Levi was currently studying as a follow-up to his fourth-circle Sun Splitting Strike: Solar Aggregation!

Basically, Levi collected all the Burning Faction knowledge circulating in the market of Flaming Mountain that he didn’t already have.

“Only 8 million Aether Stones left, it’s really too extravagant… But, knowledge is priceless. Investing in knowledge can’t go wrong,” Levi comforted himself.

With 8 million left, he decided not to spend any more for now.

After completing his transactions with the seller, he planned to purchase some weapon-making and alchemy knowledge to bring back with him.

The Burning Faction wizards were particularly skilled in weapon-making, and the headquarters of the Alchemy Faction was actually located within the Burning Faction.

It was one of the Ten Halls, the “Alchemy Hall.”

Next, Levi secluded himself at home to quietly cultivate.

Three days later, Hogg and Levi got in touch.

At the Teatime Round Table, Hogg looked apologetic as he spoke, “Commander, I had a sudden urge a few days ago. I felt the time was right for advancement, so I went into seclusion. Now, I’ve become a Blood Knight.”

“No worries, congratulations on your successful promotion. Arrange a meeting with that person for me. Once things are settled here, I’ll head back,” Levi said.

“Alright.”

The next day, in a larger wizard market, inside a tavern’s private room, Levi was already waiting there, deep in thought with his eyes closed.

He opened his eyes to see a figure entering the room.

The person was a wizard dressed in crimson robes, wearing a mask.

With a fourth-circle wizard’s cultivation, judging by his spiritual force, he should be nearing perfection, or at least a senior fourth-circle practitioner.

“Are you here to buy Black Flame Meteorite Iron?” the man asked calmly.

“That’s correct. If you’re sincere about trading, let me see your goods first,” Levi smiled.

“I don’t have any on hand right now, but I know where to find Black Flame Meteorite Iron,” the man replied.

Levi’s expression darkened immediately, and he chuckled coldly, “When you contacted my friend earlier, you claimed to have stock.”

“Please, calm down. Black Flame Meteorite Iron is a fifth-level fire element metal. If I had any extra, I would have sold it at an auction. There would be no need for you to buy from me,” the man said nonchalantly.

After a moment of silence, Levi spoke, “It seems the location of the Black Flame Meteorite Iron isn’t simple.”

“To be honest, I recently discovered a lost and ruined secret realm where I found the Black Flame Meteorite Iron… and there’s quite a lot of it. However, that secret realm has been invaded by black beasts from the Land of Darkness, some of them even being fifth-level black beasts ruling over it. The Black Flame Meteorite Iron ore was found near the lair of these black beasts. Due to the large number of black beasts in the secret realm, after obtaining a small piece of Meteorite Iron, I came out early and used the auction as an opportunity to release some clues, hoping to attract demand like yours to join my team and explore the secret realm together. In that secret realm, the largest Black Flame Meteorite Iron mine is occupied by a fifth-level black beast. During this time, I’ve found some demanders like yourself, all of them fourth-circle practitioners, including some array wizards. When the time comes, we’ll use arrays to kill those black beasts. After that, the Black Flame Meteorite Iron mine will be up for grabs. What do you think?”

Levi’s expression shifted as he listened.

“I think it’d be better for you to find Fifth-Circle Wizards,” Levi said bluntly, “A few Fourth-Circle Wizards… they might not even know how they died.”

“It seems you’re some sheltered wizard who’s not experienced in the real world,” the wizard retorted, “You don’t know how tough it is out there, exploring secret realms. When exploring secret realms, you look for wizards of the same realm. Why would you seek higher realm wizards? Even if you can relatively safely obtain treasures with their help, will they share with you? Do you naively believe that mere contracts can restrain wizards of higher realms?”

Levi pondered inwardly.

At 160 years old, he had only explored secret realms twice. One of those times had left him with psychological scars. Apart from himself, everyone else either died or was close to death.

So, he didn’t really understand some of the unspoken rules of exploring secret realms.

Unless absolutely necessary, he wasn’t fond of risking his life for riches.

But for most ordinary wizards, seeking resources beyond their status often required taking risks.

“So, how many people have you found now?” Levi asked.

“I’ve already found five assistants, all Fourth-Circle Wizards. We just need one more, and we can form a Fourth-Circle array to trap the black beast… I can tell you’re fairly new to the Fourth Circle. If it wasn’t for a wizard who had promised to come with us but had some sudden business, I wouldn’t usually consider someone of your strength,” the masked man said arrogantly.

“After the joint kill, it’s every man for himself, right?” Levi clarified.

“Exactly.”

“Alright… I’m in.”

“Good. Hunting down a fifth-level entity isn’t as terrifying as you think, as long as you have the courage. Enough said. Leave me your contact information, prepare yourself, and we’ll set off in three days.”

Levi exchanged contact information with the wizard and then returned to his lodging.

“How did it go, Commander? Smoothly?” Hogg inquired.

“Not bad. Now that you’ve advanced to Blood Source, do you plan to stay here or return to the mortal realm?” Levi asked.

“I want to explore a bit here first. If the temple needs me, I can always go back. I’ll follow your lead.”
