Chapter 26 Breathing Technique Combinations
The female ghost glanced at Lin Wei one more time before slowly dissipating.
Humans are indeed all greedy.
......
Upon returning to the castle, Lin Wei instructed Roti to give the fallen soldiers a proper burial and allocated a special fund to compensate their families.
"Where did this hyena rider come from? And at the end, the heron breathing technique was mentioned."
Lin Wei was very puzzled.
He also discovered the limitations of the Rubik's Cube's "Mind's Voice" purple face: it can only detect the target's current thoughts, rather than figuring out its true nature.
He still needs to find many answers himself.
"I can no longer easily reveal to others that I have been practicing breathing techniques."
When Lin Wei was summarizing his gains from the battle, he found that they were all crushing victories, and there was nothing to summarize.
His biggest takeaway is that as long as he cultivates step by step, he will be the strongest. He can practice breathing techniques more often, and his cultivation speed is extremely fast, which is completely contrary to common sense.
This confidence comes from the Rubik's Cube.
"I still have to play it safe, otherwise someone will definitely try to harm me before I grow stronger. I have to be more careful."
"We can't let people come to our doorstep anymore. We need to build a secret room to prevent accidents."
Lin Wei found a map and planned to build a new basement in the dense forest east of the castle, the more hidden the better.
After assigning the construction tasks, Lin Wei found an inconspicuous house outside the castle and went inside to cultivate.
"We must seize the opportunity and cultivate the Heron Breathing Technique to the fourth level before we can form a team six months from now."
"I'll stay here for now; I'm not staying at the castle."
......
Half a year has passed, and the Golden Harvest Festival is in September.
During this time, Lin Wei moved to the new basement to cultivate.
[Grey Heron Breathing Technique experience points +7, after being tripled by Deep Blue Surface experience points +21]
[Grey Heron Breathing Technique: Tier 3 → Tier 4 (Maximum), Effect: Low-level Agility]
[Basic Agility: You are more agile, slightly increasing your movement speed and dodging ability]
After Lin Wei finished his cultivation, a series of prompts appeared in his mind.
"I've finally upgraded the Heron Breathing Technique to the fourth level, and it also has an additional effect of low-level agility."
With a thought, Lin Wei covered most of his body with feathers, looking from a distance like a standing bird-man.
With a slight flap of his arms, Lin Wei's feet floated into the air, making him feel extremely light.
"The power of the Azure Lion and the flight ability of the Grey Heron have now appeared in my body. This breathing technique is truly miraculous."
"However, it seems that the Heron Breathing Technique has already reached its limit."
Lin Wei felt somewhat helpless.
"In other words, the inferior breathing technique can only be cultivated up to the fourth level, which is the level of a standard knight."
"Both the Rose Breathing Technique and the Clear Lion Breathing Technique are mid-grade breathing techniques, which should allow me to cultivate them to the sixth rank, which is the level of a Great Knight."
"Let's leave it at that for now. I feel much stronger now."
In the past six months, apart from an increase in the number of bankrupt dukes, there haven't been many new developments.
Patrols in the Chengshi territory have become more frequent.
During this period, several groups of bandits invaded, but they were all dealt with by werewolves sent by the werewolf prophet Black.
Outside the castle, Lin Wei also had several watchtowers built, with soldiers changing shifts inside, to increase the defensive capabilities as much as possible.
Besides the Heron Breathing Technique, Lin Wei has also made considerable progress in his other breathing techniques and combat skills.
However, it will still be quite some time before a breakthrough is achieved.
"The female ghost from the Blackstone River has not appeared during this period, and the extraction project is still underway."
Lin Wei followed the secret passage in the new basement back into the castle.
Today is the day I promised Drake.
Drake bowed: "Master, let's go to Rose City. Some knights are planning to form a team to search for the Honey Pot Bees."
Lin Wei smiled and said, "How's your breathing technique coming along? You seem to have improved quite a bit."
With the alluring red-faced man around, he didn't need to worry about Drake setting traps for him or spreading false information.
Drake replied calmly, "In a few more years, I should be able to reach the fourth tier smoothly."
Lin Wei nodded and said, "Yes, the only right path is to cultivate diligently, so that I can be better helped in the future."
"Put down the gold coins we brought, and we'll set off now."
"Yes, Master."
A week later, Lin Wei saw many knights traveling in groups in a place that resembled a mercenary hall.
I even spotted an old acquaintance, the Nightingale Knight.
Of course, the Nightingale Knight did not recognize Lin Wei.
Lin Wei recognized her; her nightingale-like voice had left a deep impression on him at the knight auction.
Aside from her, Lin Wei didn't recognize anyone else. They were mostly lone knights, with very few lord knights.
Lin Wei muttered to himself, "There are a lot of people here... about twenty knights, all of them at the level of standard knights."
Drake explained, "There are fewer and fewer Focus Potions available now, and many knights don't have any on hand. Even merchant knights like the Lark Knights don't have any."
"The knights from the surrounding area have all come. If it weren't for the fact that Father is busy with affairs in his territory, they would all want to form a team and go out to find honey pot bees."
As always, Lin Wei opened the Purple Mask of Inner Voice to spy on the knights' inner thoughts.
Most of them just want to become stronger; there's nothing special about it, even the Nightingale Knight is no exception.
Lin Wei discovered that once they reached the Standard Knight level, the knights were extremely focused on training to become stronger.
Unlike ordinary people, they won't be preoccupied with mundane matters like daily necessities or romantic relationships.
However, most of the knights were communicating and did not set off.
Just then, an old knight with a white beard said, "Everyone, let's disperse. The movements of the Honeybees this year are unclear, and there are few clues left behind. There's no hope of tracking them down. Let's focus on our cultivation."
One knight, unwilling to give up, spoke up: "The Rose Forest outside Rose City is the place where honeybees are most likely to appear."
"Is there anyone willing to join me in this search? I am the Iron Deer Knight, and I practice the breathing techniques of beasts."
"Count me in. I'm a termite knight, and I practice insect breathing techniques. I have a sharper sense of things in the wild, so I might be able to find some clues."
Lin Wei raised an eyebrow and asked Drake, "This is the first time I've seen insect-like breathing techniques. Are they good at sensing?"
Drake explained, "Yes, Lord Linwei, each breathing technique excels in different areas. For example, animal breathing techniques are good at close combat and have extremely strong defense. Bird breathing techniques are good at levitation and have the best agility. Plant breathing techniques are good at communicating with and manipulating plants. Insect breathing techniques are good at perception and can detect subtle clues. As for swimming animal breathing techniques, they are extremely useful in water."
"When traveling in a team, in addition to the beast-type knights who can provide backup, we usually find a few other types of knights. This way, the team is more organized."
Lin Wei suddenly realized: "I see."
No wonder the new effects he experienced after cultivating the Lion Breathing Technique and the Heron Breathing Technique to the fourth level were different.
