Chapter 0081: Fifth-Rank Human-Faced Spider! (2 updates! Please subscribe)

Holy Radiance Era 1008, North Wind Month.

Within the Holy City, a vibrant atmosphere reigned.

Five days remained until the three-hundred-year anniversary ceremony.

Li Wei rose from his cultivation state.

He opened his eyes, gazing at his own arm; his hairs rose and fell with his breath.

Outside the streets, the sounds of passersby and carriages were all transmitted to Li Wei’s hairs and skin through vibrations in the earth and air.

In an instant,

Li Wei was like a giant Amazonian bird-eating spider, acutely perceptive, always waiting for prey to approach.

“My Human-Faced Spider Breathing Method has reached the fifth rank! My perception range is much larger now; it’s no longer a ten-meter diameter, it feels like twenty meters,” Li Wei muttered to himself.

He opened his proficiency panel.

Li Wei—

Human-Faced Spider Breathing Method: Fifth Rank (1/30000), Special Effects: Intermediate Vibration Perception, Spider Sense.

…

“So far, my Spider Sense hasn’t given any warnings. It seems I’m relatively safe lately. Well, I’m so powerful yet so low-key; it’s hard to be in danger.”

“I wonder what’s going on back at my territory. Oh well, I can’t worry too much; worrying won’t help.”

Li Wei sighed, realizing unconsciously how long he had been away from his territory.

“Besides the Human-Faced Spider Breathing Method reaching the fifth rank, my Azure Falcon Breathing Method has also reached the entry level. I’m getting faster at reaching entry levels.”

“The Azure Falcon Breathing Method’s required elixirs aren’t difficult to obtain; they’re all common things. Let’s aim to max it out within half a year. If my prediction is correct, this breathing method can also reach the fifth rank. According to the proficiency panel’s usual behavior, one fifth-rank maxed breathing method should be equivalent to two fourth-rank maxed breathing methods, so the remaining two breakthrough progress points for my Sea Demon Breathing Method should be attainable.”

Li Wei felt a sense of fulfillment from his continuous improvement and growth.

After getting up and eating something, Li Wei went to the Shining Tavern.

The auction was over, and Li Wei needed to collect his money.

He was also curious to see how much his crafted mithril armor sold for.

The Wild Dog Knight had been missing for a while, probably busy with his own business.

Li Wei had made an appointment with him to meet during the Holy City ceremony, then to watch the Great Knight’s feat of tearing apart a ground dragon beast.

Arriving at the Shining Tavern, the staff recognized the iconic, imposing golden mask and knew it was Master Terra.

“Master, the auction was a complete success. Your Silver Scale Armor was bought by a major client in the inner city for three hundred gold coins.”

“The forging industry in the Holy City is buzzing now. They probably didn’t expect that there are still legendary master smiths alive in this world.”

“Many big shots want to get your information from us. Compared to ordinary armor, wealthy people prefer custom-fit armor.”

The staff member excitedly reported from the back room.

Li Wei was very satisfied. The three hundred gold coins the staff mentioned were Tua coins; converted to the Emerald Kingdom’s standard gold coins, it was a whopping six hundred!

This price was astronomical.

One reason was the high cost due to the inclusion of mithril.

Another reason was the brand effect of the master smith.

This was also because the people of the Holy City had not heard of the Golden War Hammer smith before. With the rising fame of the Golden War Hammer, the value of his brand as a smith will only increase.

Of course, he still needed to employ a scarcity strategy.

Li Wei only needed to ensure that his earnings were enough for his cultivation and that he always had some spare money.

In short, disregarding Li Wei’s time cost, this Silver Scale Armor netted him over five hundred gold coins – a massive profit!

From now on, Li Wei only needed to sell one or two pieces a month. A normal smith, even working day and night and with many apprentices and assistants, could only forge at most two armors a month.

If Li Wei worked at full capacity, he could easily make over a dozen armors a month, but that would seriously hinder his cultivation and leave him unable to do anything else.

After setting a delivery time for the next batch with the staff,

Li Wei went to the bounty request area. He learned from the staff that someone had contacted him.

Li Wei’s heart stirred, and he went to the private room.

The other party also wore a mask. Their body was hunched and thin, and though they wore civilian clothing, they possessed a subtle aristocratic air.

Li Wei could sense a certain weariness about them, as if they were very old.

“Young man, do you need Dragon Saliva Fragrance?” the person asked, their voice hoarse.

“Yes,” Li Wei replied. He couldn’t put all his hopes on the Holy City ceremony four days later, and he knew that the Dragon Saliva Fragrance from one ground dragon beast would only allow him to reach the high-rank Knight level. Reaching peak and Great Knight levels would require even more Dragon Saliva Fragrance. In short, the more, the better.

“I know someone who has Dragon Saliva Fragrance. That person not only has Dragon Saliva Fragrance but also a ground dragon beast egg, from the very ground dragon beast that Imperial Fist will kill in four days.” The person’s words were shocking.

“I don’t need a ground dragon beast egg, I only need Dragon Saliva Fragrance. If you have it, I’m willing to buy it at market price, as much as you have. If you don’t, then there’s no need to waste my time,” Li Wei said impatiently.

He didn’t know if the ground dragon beast egg would even hatch, and even if it did, it would take an unknown amount of time for it to grow to the point where he could harvest Dragon Saliva Fragrance. These creatures didn’t mature like Northern Giant Bears in seven or eight years; they needed decades.

He didn’t want to inexplicably become someone else’s pawn. This person clearly wanted to use Li Wei to do something shady.

“The inner city finance minister, Macca’s mansion, has a statue made of solidified Dragon Saliva Fragrance. It was a gift from his son-in-law for his sixtieth birthday. I don’t know how much Dragon Saliva Fragrance you need, but a two-foot-tall statue of pure solidified Dragon Saliva Fragrance is worth ten thousand gold, wouldn’t you agree?”

After the person finished speaking, Li Wei’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.

If this was true, then Macca and his son-in-law were incredibly extravagant.

They actually used such precious Dragon Saliva Fragrance to make a statue.

“This is the world of the big shots?” Li Wei suddenly felt deep apprehension towards the Duke of Black Mountain.

The Tua Empire’s finance minister held a similar position to the Duke of Black Mountain.

I, for a little Dragon Saliva Fragrance, have been hunting ground dragon beasts, traveling thousands of miles, and doing menial labor every day, while these damn big shots use it as a statue? Ridiculous!

“Who is Macca’s son-in-law?” Li Wei asked.

“Mu Di.”

The person slowly uttered a name.

Li Wei was startled. Mu Di. He had heard this name before.

Because during the preparations for the ceremony, this person’s other title had been mentioned repeatedly.

In the eyes of the people of Landis, the Holy City, this person was a living legend.

He was the Empire’s strongest force, the guardian of the Holy City, and the commander of the Storm Knight Order.

His brilliance even overshadowed the Emperor.

“Imperial Fist! Mu Di!”
