Half a year later, Levi had basically mastered some of the most basic theoretical knowledge of the School of Alchemy, including alchemy bionics, alchemy materials, Alchemy Style Theory, alchemy runes foundation, alchemy dynamics, smelting and forging, and so on. It was worth mentioning that smelting and forging was a piece of cake for Levi, who had the maximum of level 5 forging.
In addition, a new skill appeared on Levi’s proficiency panel.
Levi—
Furnace Meditation Art: Level 3 (3679/10000)
The Furnace Meditation Art was one of the few Meditation Arts in the School of Alchemy. It was basically an entry-level Meditation Art for all apprentices.
This Meditation Art was derived from the Burning Faction’s Sun Meditation Art and was specially created for the School of Alchemy’s cultivation. Therefore, Levi cultivated this Meditation Art very quickly because this Meditation Art was also enhanced by the Dance of the Fire God’s Special Effect. Moreover, for someone who had already cultivated four Meditation Arts to level 4, it was naturally easy for him to cultivate this Furnace Meditation Art again.
When he was almost done with the basic alchemy courses, Levi took the alchemical creatures blueprint that he had bought from the Tower Master and returned to the Black Fire Island happily.
This alchemical creature’s blueprint was one of the “Alchemical Guards” that had shone during the sea beast tide. Of course, the Alchemical Guards were only the collective name of the Alchemical Creatures that guarded the house in the School of Alchemy. Below that, they were divided into different models and levels.
The entire alchemical creatures system was similar to transcendent creatures. It was also divided according to the number of rings. However, the blueprints of alchemical creatures above the first circle were more precious. The Tower Master did not have many of them, and they were not something Levi could master now. Therefore, the alchemical guard blueprint he obtained was the zero-circle alchemical creature, “Swordsman Mantis”.
The overall strength of these alchemical creatures was similar to that of high-level apprentice wizards. Their main weapon was not an alchemical cannon like many Alchemical Guards, but a cold weapon-type scythe. Although the alchemical cannon was powerful, it consumed too many Aether Stones. Levi’s current financial resources were not enough to support it, so he wanted to refine a batch of Swordsman Mantises first and let his Black Fire Island have a batch of alchemical creatures to take care of the house and do chores.
“I’ll refine four Swordsman Mantises in the first round. The cost of building this one is not low. The cost of materials is only 300 Aether Stones
Among these materials, brass, which was the main material, was not expensive. The expensive ones were the alchemy energy core and the sickle weapon made of pure mithril by the Swordsman Mantis.
He prepared all the materials needed to refine the Swordsman Mantis and piled them up like a mountain.
After the preparations were almost done, Levi began to refine the Swordsman Mantis. From the beginning of smelting and forging to the engraving of alchemy runes and alchemy, to riveting, assembling, painting camouflage colors, and so on, there were all kinds of alchemy spells in between. Therefore, the engineering involved in the refinement of the simplest Zero-Ring alchemical creatures far exceeded Levi’s imagination.
In the end, a week later.
[Alchemy Proficiency +325]
“Hmm? A new skill has been born.” Levi opened the proficiency panel.
Levi—
Alchemy: Level 1 (325/1000)
“I can do that?”
Levi was delighted. This way, he was not afraid. Since it could appear on his proficiency panel, he would cultivate it!
In front of Levi was an alchemical creature that was about two meters long. This alchemical creature was completely black and blended into the surroundings of Black Fire Island. On top of it were precise rivets and various alchemy runes. These runes formed the Alchemy Style that the Swordsman Mantis could use. On the back of the Swordsman Mantis, there was also a pair of folding iron wings. If needed, the Swordsman Mantis could fly for short distances. The arms of the Swordsman Mantis were bionic mantis arms made of mithril and were extremely sharp. This mantis scythe could be put away in a non-combat state. If replaced with fingers that were as agile as humans, it could help Levi do some chores.
In short, this alchemical creature exuded the beauty of metal. Its streamlined body indicated that it was an assassin-type Alchemical Guard that specialized in speed.
“Now, it’s time to test my results.” Levi chanted an incantation.
Seconds and minutes passed… The noisy wind blew past Levi’s face.
“I failed…”
Levi muttered to himself. This was also within his expectations. He was not considered an alchemy genius.
“It should be a problem with the alchemy runes.”
Levi had no choice but to dismantle the Swordsman Mantis and check it over and over again. Refining a swordman’s tower once, even if the refinement failed, could provide Levi with a few hundred Proficiency points. It was not difficult to quickly cultivate this skill. It was just a waste of some Aether Stones. Thinking of this, Levi struck while the iron was hot. After resting, he went back to alchemy.
Of course, he did not forget to be on guard while he was doing alchemy. After all, more than half a year had passed, but the Spider Sensing still gave Levi a slight warning every day. In the past few days, the Spider Sensing warning had become more and more intense. This meant that the First-Circle Wizard was still hostile to him.

In the sea near the Black Fire Island, a wizard in a gray robe was riding a flying artifact towards the Black Fire Island. This wizard was Terrell. Beside him was a green-robed wizard who seemed to be from the Undead Ship. This wizard was Moot, a senior first-circle wizard of the Undead Ship. Although Harland was dead, there were still some fish that escaped the net and were still at large. Moot was one of them. He was Green Ghost Carter’s cousin, but their relationship was average, so not many people knew about him even on the Undead Ship.
After meeting Levi half a year ago, he saw that Levi, an ordinary wizard, could actually spend so much money to buy the Black Fire Island. He knew that Levi should be a rich man, so he had ill intentions towards Levi. However, he had a calm personality and did not do anything that he was not confident in, so he did not make a move at that time.
After half a year of cultivation, Terrell finally became a senior first-circle wizard. However, he was still worried, so he called Moot, who had cooperated with him before, to act with him. After the two of them killed Levi, Levi’s assets were split 60-40%. Moot learned that it was Levi from the Gray Tower, and he also wanted to take revenge for being homeless. Hence, he rushed over with
Terrell and prepared to do something ruthless..
