Ancient Banyan Fairyland.

Levi’s eyes widened as he watched Ayak spit out streamers of flowing light.

“Your stomach sure can hold a lot, huh.”

As the Traveling Crow, Ayak’s body inherently contained a dimensional passageway similar to a storage space.

At first, it was just ordinary materials, like some pretty dried branches, deer antlers, scale armor, or mundane gold and silver treasures from mortals.

Later on, shiny elemental metals started pouring out. Levi noticed quite a few rank-five and level-six elemental metals.

“Not bad, keep going.”

Boom!

Suddenly.

A massive shadow descended from the sky, and Levi raised his hand to catch it.

It was a thousand-meter-long, flat-bodied White Scale giant beast emanating a heavy aura of Dragon’s Might.

Levi placed it on the ground, examined it carefully, and then his face blossomed with joy.

“It’s actually a level-7 complete sub-dragon–Wind-shaped Dragon!”

The Wind-shaped Dragon’s scales were naturally born with cloud-like patterns, appearing graceful and soft.

Its overall shape resembled a piece of white cloud scattered by the wind in the sky.

Its abdomen trailed white cloud mist like a streamer, which persisted even after being dead for so long.

Moreover, perhaps due to its wind-element affinity, its weight was much lighter compared to other members of the Dragon Clan.

Levi lamented:

“What a pity it’s already dead, and judging by the looks of it, it died of natural old age. This creature lived for at least ten thousand years. To die of old age in this world is, in itself, a kind of fortune.”

“Since it’s dead, the Wind-riding Dragon’s blood can be extracted entirely and refined into bloodline crystals. The scales can be crafted into artificial energy cores and installed on my Doomsday Fist, enabling the Upper Hook Sky-splitting Fist. The bones of the Wind-riding Dragon are also top-grade level-7 materials, perfect for refining some Storm Faction wizard tools. This corpse is truly priceless.”

Levi couldn’t help but rub Ayak’s head affectionately. Just this Wind-shaped Dragon corpse alone was a great merit on Ayak’s part.

Not to mention it had also discovered abundant level-6 and higher biological materials.

All of these were the finest raw materials for Holy Infant Refining, saving significant costs and increasing the profit margin for the operation.

“Not bad, take a break, and keep up the good work.”

Levi placed Ayak into his mental space and nourished it with his primordial soul, allowing it to recover and recharge.

“The Wind-shaped Dragon is also an endurance-type dragon; its bloodline crystals should serve as excellent materials for advancing the Sky Dragon Breathing Technique.”

Initially, Levi hadn’t planned for an evolution, but now his thoughts began to stir. Advancing the Sky Dragon Breathing Technique required at least two endurance-type bloodline crystals containing Legendary Bloodline Factors, though elemental attributes were not crucial. When the Golden Snake Breathing Technique evolved into Brilliant Golden Dragon Armor, he had chosen water-element and earth-element crystals purely because dragons adept at defense were more likely to emerge from those elements, similar to how the Ocean and Earth Factions among wizards excel in defense.

Based on Levi’s current research,

wind, earth, and water elements have the highest likelihood of spawning endurance-type dragons.

Of course, this doesn’t mean other factions can’t produce endurance-types. For instance, the Silver Mountain Dragon is endurance-type but possesses thunder-element attributes.

Several days later, through Levi’s bloodline testing, it was confirmed that the Wind-shaped Dragon contained traces of the Legendary Dragon Race “Wind Illusion Dragon,” making it a sub-dragon species.

This is an exceptionally rare Legendary Dragon Race that predominantly exists in the form of a breeze, endlessly traveling across the Multidimensional Plane, making it the “Traveler” among dragons, much like Maya.

After deciding to advance the Sky Dragon Breathing Technique, Levi delegated the task, ordering all major organizations to intensify efforts to collect any intelligence and information on dragons.

…

Starry night.

Above the Flower Hall, amidst the starlit clouds, a wizard tower floated. Ivy and vine-like plants wrapped around it, lush and vibrant, with countless flowers in bloom.

The spire was crowned with a dreamlike Star Ring orbiting it, circling the wizard tower. Dense water elemental power gathered around the tower, creating an ambiance akin to a fairyland.

Two figures leaned against the tower’s peak, gazing at the stars.

Hundred Flowers said:

“It’s amazing to be able to have a wizard tower.”

Levi replied with a smile:

“I didn’t expect you’d even incorporate the Star Ring into the wizard tower system–a rather interesting design.”

Hundred Flowers gazed at the shimmering Star Ring.

“Doesn’t it look beautiful?”

Over the past decade, she had both consolidated her foundations and steadily worked on improving the embryonic form of the wizard tower. The fusion of the Star Ring and the wizard tower was a creative idea she suddenly came up with, integrating the wizard tower as part of the Star Ring into a harmonious and complete whole. This setup eliminated the need to switch out Soul Artifacts.

Levi said:

“It is indeed beautiful, though this is just the first layer. Achieving the true form of a wizard tower will require more effort.”

Hundred Flowers replied:

“No rush. Finishing the entire wizard tower project before advancing to the eighth-circle is already a victory… By the way, how’s the progress on your wizard tower?”

Levi responded:

“Mine? Still a long way to go. I haven’t even prepared the main structural framework and construction materials yet. If I can finish the primary engineering of my wizard tower before reaching the eighth-circle, that would count as a win.”

He hadn’t yet finalized the Fossil Wood or Nightmare Wood crafted via Gargamel’s methods.

Levi’s goal was to create a top-tier wizard tower that, once the foundation was robustly established, could support him even into the legendary realm.

Under the starlight, Levi and Hundred Flowers casually chatted atop the tower.
