The Cloud Mist array consumed very little energy, so it did not require a lot of Aether Stones to sustain it. After the first activation, it could rely on the power of the Aether in the world to form a perfect cycle. Moreover, this array was initially created to make it convenient for pharmacists to manage herbal fields. Therefore, this array had some unique features. If too much moisture in the air affected the herbs’ normal growth, the array would automatically shut down.

“Not bad. Next, I should strike while the iron is hot and refine all the remaining materials so that my array proficiency can reach level 3 as soon as possible.”

Levi revealed a gratified smile and returned to refining arrays.

Two months later, Levi had successfully refined five arrays from the remaining seven sets of materials.

In the end, Levi, a newbie in the field of arrays, successfully refined six arrays out of the 20 sets of materials. Logically speaking, Levi should be proud of such a result, but he was still slightly disappointed. After all, he was a man with a proficiency panel, so he had set a higher standard for himself.

Six arrays could only cover half of Levi’s herbal field. He needed to refine another six.

After all his hard work, Levi’s array proficiency reached level 2.

[Array: Level 2 (1052/5000)]

Regardless of how the process turned out, after half a year of dedicated training, Levi was finally on the right track to refining arrays, which was considered the most challenging path. He estimated that he could refine a true first-circle array when his array proficiency was at level 4. When that happened, he would be a genuine First-Circle Wizard, a First-Circle Pharmacist, and a First-Circle Array Wizard.

The three skills of a wizard were arrays, weapon making, and pharmacy.

Levi had already grasped two of the three skills.

Although Levi wanted to keep cultivating arrays and break through to level 3 in one go, he had no more materials and could only stop for the time being. He continued cultivating the breathing techniques and skills he had put on hold for a long time. Levi had grown sick of only cultivating arrays over the past six months. He needed a change of pace.

Raising his array proficiency to level 4 in one go would take at least three to five years. After all, refining arrays consumed too much time, money, and energy. Compared to arrays, pharmacy was much more manageable. Furthermore, repeatedly refining the identical arrays would give fewer proficiency points as Levi became increasingly familiar with them. Levi had to refine more types of arrays, just like how he practiced his pharmacy. Through this process, he would accumulate more practical knowledge and experience of different arrays. Only then would he be able to increase his array proficiency quickly.

At present, half of the herbs on Fire Dragon Peak were covered by his arrays, which gave life to the originally desolate Black Fire Island.

The four Swordsman Mantises shuttled through the mist, patrolling the area without stopping. Levi arranged for the other four to patrol the surroundings of the island.

After returning to his cave abode, he cultivated the Deep Sea, Night Crow, Earth, Sun, and Furnace Meditation Arts. After that, Levi took out the Klein Crystal and checked his current spiritual force.

[Spiritual force: 25]

[Spell power: 500 points]

Then, Levi looked at his proficiency panel.

[Levi]

[Deep Sea Meditation Art: Level 4 (3567/20000)] [Night Crow Meditation Art: Level 4 (7844/20000)] [Earth Meditation Art: Level 4 (10234/20000)] [Sun Meditation Art: Level 4 (10001/20000)]

[Furnace Meditation Art: Level 3 (4399/10000)]

Levi mumbled, “After the first circle, the effect of the Sandman Potion has significantly weakened. I have to find a better replacement. Otherwise, I will take at least five years to advance to become a senior First-Circle Wizard.

“However, the formulas for meditation supplementary potions are too rare. Even Ms. Marlene only had the formula for the Sandman Potion. Where can I find better formulas?”

Levi sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

He was starting to understand why knowledge was the most valuable thing for wizards. Whether it was spells, various potion formulas, alchemy blueprints, or array blueprints, it was only possible for wizards to obtain them through a teacher or with a large force supporting them.

Among the five Meditation Arts, he could cultivate the Earth, Sun, and Furnace Meditation Arts at a decent speed thanks to the special effects of Earth Pulse and Dance of the Fire God. However, cultivating the Deep Sea and Night Raven Meditation Arts was much slower, especially the Deep Sea Meditation Art. Even though Levi first obtained this Meditation Art, it was about to be overtaken by the Furnace Meditation Art that came later.

However, there was nothing he could do about it. There was no news about the inheritance of the Duncan family. The inheritance of the Van Helsing family might be in Heavenly Mountain, the forbidden area of the church. Levi would not venture into the most dangerous place of the Church of Holy Light just for a chance of the inheritance being there. He could only focus on cultivating the Meditation Arts that were supported by the special effects for now to increase his wizard realm.

“Knowledge. I lack knowledge. Sigh. I’ll take things slow. Rome was not built in a day.”

Besides Meditation Arts, Levi did not neglect his cultivation of spells either. Putting aside the cantrips, Levi had maxed out the four First-Ring Spells.

[Levi]

[Fireball Technique: Level 5 (Maximum)] [Water Prison: Level 5 (Maximum)] [Rock Body: Level 5 (Maximum)]

[Green Smoke Escape: Level 5 (Maximum)]

With Levi’s current spiritual force, he could learn another First-Ring Spell. For his fifth First-Ring Spell, between Undead Summoning and Sacred Insect Touch, he chose the latter..
