Carl withdrew from the practice of Source Sea Meditation, looked at his data panel, and shook his head helplessly.

Too slow! I was used to the rapid progress of my cultivation, so this kind of progress with no response after a month of hard training was simply torture.

He wanted to add source essence to mental power several times.

Considering that cultivation becomes more difficult as time goes on, and adding it later is more cost-effective, I stopped this impulse.

"There are too many wizards in the Magic Forest, and resources are relatively limited. Potions that can improve cultivation are often very expensive. Even in large families, only core disciples can take them in limited quantities."

"on the contrary……"

“Not many people have reached the legendary level on the Knight’s Path, and since resources are plentiful, it’s difficult to raise the price.”

Back then, the abundant supply of potions allowed Carl to cultivate the Holy Demon Transformation to the third level in a very short period of time.

"The path of a wizard is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Although I am stronger than my peers, it seems that the path of a knight is more suitable for me at the moment..."

"pity!"

"The Holy Demon Transformation consumes too many resources. If you want to reach the fourth level, you need to take a second-level potion."

Second level potion!

A bottle would cost at least several hundred magic stones, or at most a dozen magic crystals, which was far beyond his means.

The key point is that the potion needed to practice the Holy Demon Transformation is not just one or two bottles, but a large and continuous supply.

"Fortunately, hard training can also improve physical fitness, but it's a little slower."

"It's the Thousand Buddha Hands..."

“Finally I’ve gotten started!”

Carl smiled and clapped his hands forward suddenly. Shadows flashed by, and each shadow represented a palm print.

The practice of Thousand Buddha Hands is divided into four realms.

First-hand realm!

Mastering the skill of each seal and being able to make seals in any situation is the entry-level stage.

Carl has just achieved it.

Ten-hand realm! You can combine ten or fewer hand seals according to your own wishes to form new hand seals.

This realm can greatly increase the power of the hand seal.

Sodan is in this state.

However, he took a shortcut and used the power of the evil god to transform into multiple palms and combine them to form seals.

The true Ten Hands Realm is to condense multiple hand seals into one hand seal, with all the power contained in one palm.

Hundred Hands Realm! In this realm, dozens of hand seals can be combined together to form a powerful hand seal.

Already able to fight across boundaries.

If Sodan is at the Hundred Hands Realm, then even if Carl goes all out, he will definitely not be his opponent. He can even fight against a second-level strongman with his late first-level cultivation.

Thousand Hands Realm! This realm has already fully mastered the essence of the Thousand Buddha Hands. It can be said that I am the Buddha, I am the saint.

If there is a mortal who can possess the Thousand Buddha Hands of this level, with the hand seals together, he can directly transform from a mortal into an immortal.

"Buddha! Holy!"

"This is a title equivalent to that of a god, which means that the Thousand Buddha Hands is a sacred skill that directly leads to the fourth level."

"It's even stronger than the Holy Demon Transformation!"

"pity."

"This martial art requires too much comprehension, or the so-called Buddha's heart. Even if you want to use resources, it won't work."

"I have the blood of the abyss giant squid, and I can also learn the evil way of Sodan and cultivate to the Ten-Hand Realm in advance, but I can only reach the Ten-Hand Realm!"

"If you want to improve your strength in a short period of time, you can only..."

"Wizard Tower!"

* * * “Mr. Connie.”

Nina came out of the manor to greet him, knelt down to perform an ancient etiquette, and extended her hand to the back, "Please come in."

"Ms. Nina." Karl asked, "Who are they?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Connie. The people who are going to hunt the beasts this time are all acquaintances." Nina smiled brightly: "Except you!"

"Let me introduce you all."

Arriving at the hall, Nina reached out her hand and nodded to the old man standing at the main seat: "This is the legendary knight that Harvey mentioned, Mr. Connie! Mr. Connie, my father Clemens."

Clemens!

The patriarch of the Walker family! A late-stage first-order wizard and one of the four controllers of the Dream Market.

This is an old man with gray hair and a strong body. Although his eyes are dim, they are still sharp.

"Clemens was over a hundred years old when he married and had children. He should be around 170 or 180 years old now, right?"

"You don't have much time left to live!"

The two nodded to each other, indicating that they had met each other.

"Witch Linda." Nina looked at the hooded witch beside Clemens and said in a serious voice, "Ms. Linda is a bloodline wizard who is skilled in beast control. Her bloodline is as high as the second level."

Bloodline wizard? Carl's eyes moved slightly.

He also practiced blood witchcraft, and by chance, a third-level bloodline was integrated into his body.

If a wizard apprentice has the right bloodline, it will be easier for him to become a wizard, but the subsequent path will also be more difficult.

After all, other wizards only need to meditate to increase their cultivation, but bloodline wizards have to find ways to increase the degree of bloodline fusion in addition to meditation. The difficulty has doubled under the same time.

and,

When breaking through, there will still be obstacles like "knowledge barrier", so very few bloodline wizards can become the second level.

Many formal wizards will practice bloodline witchcraft as a side job, but few take bloodline witchcraft as their main profession.

"This is Bernie from the Perot family."

Nina pointed at the last person with an indifferent expression:

"Bernie's water magic is very powerful. He can use it on Mr. Connie when the time comes."

Carl nodded.

Clemens is in the late first stage, Nina and Bernie are in the middle first stage, and Carl and the witch Linda are in the early first stage.

However, Carl is still a legendary knight, and the witch Linda has a second-level bloodline and is stronger than ordinary early-stage wizards.

Anyway…

Although the team is small, its strength is not weak.

Glancing at the whole audience, Karl breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for Clemens, who he was not very sure about, he could handle the others if they faced them head-on.

Even Clemens is not without a chance, especially with the new means he has used in the past few days.

This is also one of the reasons why I agreed to this trip.

"If there's nothing else, let's go!"

Nina took out a golden whistle and blew it in front of her lips. Soon a gust of wind blew in.

Two handsome horses with wings on their backs landed in the manor, pulling a luxurious carriage behind them.

A first-level creature, Pegasus! This is much better looking than Daniel's antelope sedan, and more imposing.

…………

Although the Magic Forest is only the angle between the Eastern Kingdom Continent and the Kalim Continent, its area is not small.

It would take a lifetime to find the exact location of a snake valley based on a clue.

Two days later.

Near the Nameless Snake Valley.

A white cloud swayed slightly, as if something passed through it, leaving wisps of smoke.

The invisible carriage hovered in the air for a moment, then chose a direction and rushed downwards.

"Whoa!"

As Nina growled, the carriage landed steadily.

Several people got off the carriage one by one, stretched their muscles that had not been exercised for two days, and looked towards the valley below.

The valley was shrouded in mist and it was difficult to see clearly. All one could see was that the terrain was long and narrow, the air was filled with miasma, and there were vague sights of snakes and insects.

“This is it.”

Looking at the valley, Clemens's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity, and then he calmed down and said, "Everyone, take a rest first, and then start again after you have adjusted yourself."

"good!"

"yes!"

"Let me take a look inside first." Witch Linda took out a stick and gently touched the ground.

The next moment.

The twisted patterns on the stick seemed to come alive and transformed into mice running downwards.

Control the soul!

Beast Taming Technique! These rats have no real bodies, but are made up of the souls of rats and the soil on the ground.

There is no breath of life on them, at most there are some weak mental fluctuations, which are very suitable for gathering information.

"Don't bother."

Carl reached out and gently stroked the weeds on the ground. A soft light shone from his eyes, and his consciousness connected with the nearby plants.

First Ring Magic - Whisper of Life! This is a life magic that communicates with plants and obtains information. It is also one of the four first ring magics he currently masters.

"Um?"

Clemens's expression changed slightly.

“Huh!”

Karl's eyes narrowed and he looked up suddenly: "There's someone nearby!"

“Swish!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Nina and the witch Linda responded, and the aura of defensive witchcraft flashed on their bodies.

"I never thought that Mr. Connie could even understand the whispers of life." Clemens' expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly, "Don't worry, they are my friends."

friend?

Carl's face was gloomy as he looked at the three people who came out of invisibility not far away. When he saw who they were, his heart skipped a beat.

Gold! How could he, a member of the Six Ring Tower and the Green family, appear here?

Fortunately, Carl had changed his appearance at this time and was not recognized by the other party.

Although he didn't know the other two, his mental fluctuations were strong, and they were all first-level mid-level wizards.

Just to collect medicine for Harvey, a great knight who has no talent for witchcraft, even if it is rare and has other uses, it is not worth so many people coming, right?

Something is wrong! "Nina."

Witch Linda said in a muffled voice: "What's going on?"

"Linda." Nina seemed to be confused as well, but out of trust in her father, she advised:

"Don't get excited, it'll be fine."

"snort!"

Witch Linda snorted coldly:

"I agreed to help you because of the trust we had in working together for many years, but you found someone else behind my back."

"Since you already have other helpers, I believe you won't need me anymore. I will withdraw from this mission and I don't want any reward."

Carl put away his palms and took a step back.

He is aligned with the witch Linda in this regard.

"Since you're here, why bother leaving in such a hurry?" Gold approached slowly and said slowly, "The secrets here cannot be known by others. If anyone wants to leave early, don't blame me for being rude."

Linda and Carl's hearts sank.
