Chapter 350: Return

Chapter 350: Return

Li Wei extended his right hand, manipulating the Ring of Truth.

Utilizing the power of the Ring of Truth, he constructed a box to encase the Poison Dragon Sac.

He seemed to understand Toresta's intention once again.

The most important ability of the Ring of Truth was—materialization.

It could further enhance the authenticity of Li Wei's illusions.

As Li Wei constructed layer upon layer of boxes to seal the Poison Dragon Sac.

The power radiating from the Poison Dragon Sac continued to weaken.

Li Wei continuously absorbed energy from the Fire Spirit Pearl necklace.

Finally, after constructing three hundred and sixty layers of boxes, he completely sealed the toxicity of the Poison Dragon Sac.

It took one hour.

He let out a sigh of relief.

Lilith's voice reached his ear, "Are you done? My mana is almost running out."

Li Wei flew close to the three-hundred-and-sixty-layer nesting doll box containing the Poison Dragon Sac.

He stored the box into an independent spatial ring.

Inside this spatial ring was already stored the mithril box containing the Poison Dragon Saliva.

Li Wei did not want the Poison Dragon Saliva and the deadly poison within the Poison Dragon Sac to contaminate other things inside the spatial ring.

In case he accidentally contaminated the secret medicine or food, taking a bite would probably kill him on the spot.

Storing it in an independent spatial ring was safer.

Li Wei responded to Lilith, "Done."

He turned around and quickly flew towards where Alice and the others were located.

"Li Wei is back, retreat!"

Seeing Li Wei return, Christman hurriedly shouted loudly.

Within Alice's frontline, it was actually the weakest Christman who became the main combat force against the poisonous leeches.

Christman summoned a gale to blow away the poisonous leeches.

The poisonous leeches could not get close.

Neither Alice nor Evelyn's plant magic could deal with the poisonous leeches.

The poison of the poisonous leeches easily corroded the magical constructs of the two women.

Bella's lightning had less effect on the highly magic-resistant poisonous leeches than the gale wind.

"Retreat!"

Li Wei flew up to stand before the group and shouted loudly.

"You go first, I will cover the rear."

Christman shouted loudly.

Rarely did he get another chance to cover the rear and act as a hero.

Christman's spirits were high, his face filled with nervousness and excitement.

After Li Wei landed, a shadowy figure appeared beside him.

Lilith had also returned.

Li Wei glanced at Christman, confirmed he could hold off the poisonous leeches alone, and hurriedly ran towards the cave entrance they came from.

After Christman saw everyone had left.

He planted a seed of the Gale Flower on the ground.

"Roar! Bring the gale wind to the world!"

Stimulated by Christman's power, the Gale Flower seed grew rapidly.

In a blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant windmill flower.

The flower began to spin rapidly.

Bringing forth a strong gale.

Blowing countless poisonous leeches away.

Christman took the opportunity to quickly catch up to Li Wei and the others' footsteps.

Li Wei and Alice and the others walked a distance then stopped to wait for Christman.

Seeing him return safely, the group let out a breath of relief.

"It's good that you are unharmed," Li Wei said.

"Continue searching for the exit," Bella urged.

Christman looked at Bella with a resentful expression.

Li Wei knows how to show consideration, yet you only know to urge me to work.

You deserve no one liking you!

Christman did not complain, however.

After the group escaped the predicament, he immediately activated the Hyacinth Grass again to search for the exit leading outside from the third floor of the Poison Dragon Cave.

Traces of wind spread throughout the Poison Dragon Cave.

Finally, he brought back good news.

Christman's eyes lit up, saying, "Found it."

Bella questioned, "Don't tell me it's some dangerous place again?"

Christman didn't want to bother with her anymore. This woman only knew how to bring people down.

He said, "This time it should be the exit, I can feel the fresh air from outside."

"Drink some Mana Recovery Potion, replenish some mana, and we will set off shortly."

Li Wei handed Christman a bottle of Mana Recovery Potion.

Within the Poison Dragon Cave, one could only rely on external objects to recover mana.

One could not directly absorb the magical elements within the Poison Dragon Cave.

Because, during meditation, one might get poisoned.

The poison was everywhere.

The Poison Dragon Cave was filled with toxic elements left behind after the Wind Poison Dragon died.

If one accidentally inhaled the toxic elements without having the ability to resolve them...

Poisoning was merely the mildest symptom.

After waiting for Kristiman to regain some of his mana, the group set forth once more.

Under Kristiman's guidance, they escaped the third layer of the Poison Dragon Cave without further incident.

Li Wei glanced back over his shoulder.

Behind them lay a deep fissure leading far down into the earth.

Below, white and green toxic mists continually billowed upward.

They had departed the third layer, returning to the second level of the Poison Dragon Cave.

The path ahead proved considerably smoother.

In less than half a day, the party exited the Poison Dragon Cave and reached the surface.

"Shall we repair ourselves in Poison Dragon City first? Or proceed directly to Flying Flower City?"

Evelyn inquired.

Alice replied, "Let us rest first; we shall depart only after regaining our strength."

Li Wei stated, "Then we shall not go. The commission is fulfilled, and it is time for us to return."

Alice appeared somewhat startled, "Ah, departing so soon?"

Li Wei nodded, "Yes, there remain certain matters."

Not long prior, he had attained profound insight into the Secret Arts.

He was eager to return to cultivation, break through to the Fourth Stage, and comprehend the true essence.

He lacked the patience to accompany Alice and the others to Flying Flower City to confront Kira.

Observing this, Evelyn stepped forward and spoke, "Then may you have a safe journey. I shall inform the Mage Association of your completion of the task as swiftly as possible."

"Then farewell," Li Wei said, waving goodbye.

"Farewell, perhaps we shall meet again," Alice bid Li Wei farewell as well.

Alice and her companions made their way toward Poison Dragon City.

Li Wei and Lillith turned, heading in the direction of Maple City.

He looked at Lillith and asked, "How much of your mana have you recovered now?"

Lillith replied, "Forty percent."

"Let us go."

The pair hastened back to Maple City by their own respective means.

Traveling at full speed, they reached Maple City in only half a day.

By the time Li Wei arrived at the gates of Maple City, night had fallen.

He lowered Lillith gently.

Lillith's mana remained insufficient, so for the latter half of the journey, Li Wei bore her aloft as they flew together.

Li Wei possessed the Necklace of the Fire Spirit Pearl, granting him exceptional endurance.

Lillith, however, lacked such formidable stamina.

Li Wei remarked, "I must visit the Mage Tower first, before returning to the Element Tower."

Lillith nodded, "Mm, then I shall go to the Mage Association and await you."

Upon separating from Lillith, Li Wei proceeded directly back to the Mage Tower.

Arriving at the sixth floor of the Mage Tower.

"Master, I am back."

Torresta remained in his semi-transparent state from the previous encounter.

"Oh, did you obtain the Poison Dragon Sack of the Wind Poison Dragon?"

Li Wei produced the box and said, "I have brought it back."

"Mm, excellent."

"What does Master intend to use this for?" Li Wei queried, somewhat puzzled.

Torresta explained, "It is not I who require it, but you. You shall understand once you bring it to the Element Tower."

Li Wei displayed an expression of surprise.

"Master, what do you mean by this?"
