Chapter 454: Amethyst Source Potion, Tier 4 Peak

Chapter 454: Purple Crystal Source Potion – Peak Fourth Tier

“It’s here.”

Li Wei sensed the fluctuation from the communication crystal.

He took it out and activated it.

Victor’s figure appeared before him.

Victor glanced at Li Wei and said, “I’ve already sent the Purple Crystal Source Potion through the teleportation array. Remember to go get it.”

Li Wei nodded. “Alright.”

“Wouldn’t you be worried about someone else taking it if you just sent it directly?” Li Wei asked.

Victor replied, “Do you think I’m an idiot? You’ll understand once you have it. I’ll contact you again then.”

The communication crystal went dark, Victor’s image vanishing.

Li Wei headed to the seventh floor of the Elemental Tower—home to the long-distance teleportation array.

“Elder, hello. I have a package from the Spatial Tower. Has it arrived?”

Li Wei politely greeted the elder who oversaw the interplanar teleportation array.

The elder said, “Wait a moment. Let me check.”

“Oh, there is a package from the Spatial Tower. What’s your name?”

“Li Wei,” he replied.

“That must be yours, then. Please show me your magic badge.”

After verifying Li Wei’s magic badge and confirming his identity, the elder handed him a magical box.

Now Li Wei understood why Victor had spoken that way.

Opening the magical box required a specific incantation; without the correct spell, forcibly opening it would destroy everything inside.

Back in his room, Li Wei contacted Victor through the communication crystal.

This time, Victor’s image didn’t appear.

Only a single incantation emerged from the crystal.

At the sound of the spell, the magical box clicked open on its own.

“Our deal is done.”

Victor’s voice echoed out.

Crack!

The communication crystal shattered as well.

Li Wei could only laugh bitterly. Victor was really too eager—so quick to cut ties?

Putting that aside, Li Wei turned his attention to what was inside the box.

Two bottles of Purple Crystal Source Potion.

He picked one up for inspection. The potion looked like a condensed swirl of dazzling purple nebula trapped within the bottle.

It appeared mysteriously beautiful, with tiny star-like glimmers flickering intermittently within the cloud.

As he gently opened the bottle, a wave of pure and potent magical energy surged forth.

Purple mist began to rise from the bottle like evaporating stardust.

Quickly, he sealed it back up.

This must be genuine Purple Crystal Source Potion.

Never before had Li Wei seen such precise and powerful alchemy.

It seemed as though a fragment of actual cosmic power was sealed within the bottle.

Carefully, Li Wei stored both bottles away.

The magical box was now useless, so he casually tossed it into his spatial ring.

Even though it was broken, it still looked nice—it could serve as a storage container.

After some thought, Li Wei decided to break through right here in the Elemental Tower before heading to the Arctic Ice Plains.

After all, the situation in the Arctic was still unclear.

Once there, there might not be a safe place for him to cultivate.

He hadn’t used any of his cultivation time this month yet.

Li Wei made his way to the Cultivation Realm, entering the Fire Element Secret Domain.

Upon stepping into the realm, he flew straight toward its deepest section.

Whoosh!

A figure shot rapidly toward the heart of the domain, showing no signs of stopping.

Many nearby cultivators watched curiously.

“Who is that? Why is he acting so arrogantly?”

“Couldn’t see clearly, but judging by his aura, he must be at least a High Mage.”

“A High Mage? Then it’s none of our business. Let’s focus on our own training.”

Li Wei reached the deepest part of the secret domain—the area closest to the Plane of Fire.

The endless flow of fire elementals within the cultivation realm originated from this very spot, seeping in from the Plane of Fire itself.

Li Wei had always known that the fragment of the Fire Plane within the cultivation realm maintained a connection to the main plane.

Since mastering intermediate flame laws, his perception of this link had grown even clearer.

He could now draw power directly from the Plane of Fire while standing here.

In the past, he’d needed to activate his Flame Body just to endure this place.

Otherwise, even he couldn’t withstand the intense heat.

But now, Li Wei was largely immune to the extreme temperatures.

Thanks to his mastery of intermediate flame laws and his innate Intermediate Fire Immunity trait, he could ignore flame damage below the fifth tier.

Even fourth-tier magical beasts couldn’t survive the scorching flames here.

To Li Wei, however, it felt like nothing more than lukewarm water.

Just slightly warmer.

Li Wei sat down, took out one of the Purple Crystal Source Potions, and drank it in one gulp.

Gurgle!

Bang!

The medicine bottle fell to the ground and was quickly engulfed by flames, exploding with a burst of heat.

Li Wei closed his eyes and devoted himself entirely to cultivation.

After swallowing the Purple Crystal Origin Secret Medicine, a powerful and pure stream of magical energy surged forth from within.

It was greedily devoured by his magically-starved cells.

Upon absorbing the magical essence of the Purple Crystal Origin Secret Medicine, those magical cells rapidly matured and evolved.

At the same time, Li Wei also absorbed fire elements and spirits of flame from the outside world at an accelerated pace.

This further enhanced his body as the Lord of Flames.

Under the dual influence of internal and external forces, Li Wei's body underwent a remarkable transformation.

His magical power soared swiftly upward.

In his mind, that blazing sun continued expanding rapidly, nourished endlessly by fresh infusions of fire elementals.

Every second brought greater strength to Li Wei.

Before long, half a month had passed.

Li Wei exhaled deeply, releasing a scorching breath before slowly opening his eyes.

Only after fifteen days of arduous training did he finally absorb all the energy contained in one vial of Purple Crystal Origin Secret Medicine.

His strength had greatly increased.

He advanced from mid-fourth tier to peak fourth tier.

There remained another bottle of Purple Crystal Origin Secret Medicine.

But Li Wei no longer had time for further cultivation.

Leaving the secret cultivation realm, Lilith found him.

Seeing her approach, Li Wei felt surprised—he hadn’t seen Lilith in quite some time.

Lilith said, “The Church of Light already knows it was you who took the Tears of the Goddess.”

Her first sentence struck like thunder in his ears.

Li Wei was shocked. “How do you know?”

“My teacher told me,” she replied.

She continued, “The Church of Light has demanded that the Elemental Tower hand you over.”

Lilith’s teacher was Harros, a top-tier shadow mage within the Elemental Tower.

If the Church of Light had already contacted the Elemental Tower, then it wasn’t strange that Harros would be aware of this matter.

Li Wei narrowed his gaze, pondered briefly, and asked, “What is the current stance of the Elemental Tower leadership?”

Lilith answered, “According to my teacher, the Elemental Tower seems inclined to compromise with the Church of Light.”

“But because you’ve become so renowned within the Elemental Tower and even have considerable reputation among other elite mage towers, they can't simply hand you over directly.”

“The leadership’s decision is for you to return the Tears of the Goddess to the Church of Light, followed by internal punishment here—this way, they offer the Church a semblance of justice.”

Li Wei gave a bitter smile inwardly; if only returning the Tears were possible.

Unfortunately, the problem lay in the fact that the Tears of the Goddess had already been used up.

His expression hardened—he could wait no longer. He must leave the Elemental Tower immediately.
