Chapter 46 Evolution, Iron Lion
"Knowing too much won't do you any good. I'm going back to sleep. Use your brain, I'm rooting for you."
After saying that, Kardashian slowly disappeared and disappeared into the pebbles.
"Come ask me again next time, I'm going to cultivate now." Lin Wei was not discouraged and left as well.
……
Lin Wei returned to the basement.
"This Iron Ox Breathing Technique is also a low-grade breathing technique. In the next year, I need to cultivate this breathing technique to the fourth level, then let the Night Patrol Lion Breathing Technique absorb it, and then break through the Yellow Rose Breathing Technique to the fifth level."
"As for the Sailfish Breathing Technique and the Azure Sparrow Breathing Technique, which is stuck at the fourth level, we'll put them aside for now."
A month later, Lin Wei successfully mastered the Iron Ox Breathing Technique and memorized it into the Deep Blue Face.
Six months later.
[Yellow Rose Breathing Technique experience points +11, after being tripled by the Deep Blue Face, experience points +33]
[Yellow Rose Breathing Technique: Level 4 → Level 5 (13/20000), Effect: Intermediate Control]
[Intermediate Control: You have mastered the ability to guide and control plants, and can influence small plants]
"I've finally advanced the Yellow Rose Breathing Technique, and my control over it has improved considerably."
Lin Wei tested a pre-prepared pot of mimosa plants, manipulating it with his fingers that had transformed into branches: "Be good, don't be shy, don't close your leaves."
The mimosa plant trembled continuously, then fully unfolded its leaves, which Lin Wei could not close no matter how he handled them.
"It's truly amazing, and it's an eye-opener," Lin Wei added. "Although this plant-based breathing technique doesn't significantly boost combat power, its abilities are the most bizarre."
"Next, I need to cultivate the Iron Ox Breathing Technique to the fourth level. I'm only at the second level now."
Six months later, on the Frost's Breath Festival, Lin Wei turned 28.
[Iron Bull Breathing Technique experience points +13, after being tripled by Deep Blue Face experience points +39]
[Iron Ox Breathing Technique: Level 4 (Maximum)]
"Finally, I've managed to apply the Iron Ox Breathing Technique."
Lin Wei looked at the night patrol lion eyeing his heart and gave it the order to attack at will. The lion and the bull then wrestled together.
"As expected of Iron Ox, this creature is indeed fearless and undaunted."
Although Iron Bull was no match for the fifth-tier Night Patrol Lion, it still kept launching attacks.
Since he couldn't practice the breathing technique for the time being, Lin Wei went back to blacksmithing.
Before long, the Night Watch Lion emerged victorious, swallowing Iron Bull whole.
[Night Patrol Lion Breathing Technique Experience +2888, Night Patrol Lion → Ironclad Lion, Night Patrol Lion Breathing Technique converted to Ironclad Lion Breathing Technique (Medium Grade), Breathing Technique cap slightly increased, cap requirement (2/3)]
[Iron Lion Breathing Technique: Tier 5 (5888/20000), Effect: Intermediate Defense, Maximum Requirement (2/3)]
"It's done, it's become an Iron Lion."
With a thought, Lin Wei activated his breathing technique, transforming himself into a jet-black lion-man, except that silver-black iron ore appeared on his limbs and claws.
"It seems like both my offense and defense have improved a lot, and I feel very tough."
Lin Wei stretched out his lion claw and grabbed directly at the iron stake next to him.
"Clang!"
The iron stake was easily flattened, leaving large claw marks on it.
"Although the breathing technique hasn't advanced, its power has increased considerably." Lin Wei was pleased with himself, and then opened the deep blue face.
Name: Albus Linwei

"The Grizzly Armor and Disguise Technique both need to be upgraded, but the current level is still usable for me. I'll practice them little by little later."
"Except for the avian breathing technique and the swimming beast breathing technique, I have leveled up the other three types of breathing techniques to level five."
"Especially the avian breathing technique, the speed boost after possession is a great help to my escape." Lin Wei pondered for a moment, "But I still have three bloodlines left to extract from Kardashian: grizzly bear, seaweed, and longhorn beetle. I don't have any avian creatures."
"Never mind, let's go out and see if we've found any new breathing techniques."
Sometimes when Lin Wei was in the wild, he wished that some blind bandit knight would attack him, so that he could not only kill the opponent but also seize the Breathing Technique. Unfortunately, he never encountered one.
"They probably think I'm tough."
……
"Lord Lin Wei, the situation on the continent hasn't changed much. Nearly half of the duchies have gone bankrupt, but they've started reducing military expenditures," Celia reported. "Our Rose City has been saved, though it's been severely weakened."
"Yes, that's about what I was thinking. After the cards are shuffled, someone has to do the work, otherwise it will delay the princes' cultivation." Lin Wei nodded.
"The Central Divine Court has moved into more duchies, but the rest haven't changed much, except for Lady Ros of Ham, who is pregnant," Celia said with a smile.
"Haha, this kid's quick on the uptake." Lin Wei smiled knowingly and said, "Where are the breathing techniques and materials I asked you to collect?"
Celia said, "I've collected a few more copies of the Shallow Bay Seaweed, and I've acquired the Snail Breathing Technique and the Bloodline Inheritance Stone from a Duke."
"Good job." Lin Wei took the breathing technique from her, patted the back of her head, and said, "You should also settle your own marriage soon."
"My lord, I'm not in a hurry." Celia blushed and quickly pushed Lin Wei away, indicating that he could leave.
"Okay, I'm leaving."
Watching Lin Wei walk away, Celia's beautiful eyes were filled with complex emotions, and she sighed with resentment.
"I can't handle that."
Lin Wei went to the secret room to find the female ghost Kardashian.
"This is the bloodline of the seaweed breathing technique. Here you go. You haven't brought me any new brains in the last two years," Kardashian complained.
"I'm not a bloodthirsty person, and I also need to go into seclusion to cultivate," Lin Wei explained with a shrug. "But I'll go out and take a look."
"Hmph, all you did was work." Kardashian disappeared.
Lin Wei was at a loss. She originally wanted to ask about the wizard, but it was clear that Kardashian didn't want to talk to her.
"Well, his temper has gotten worse."
Lin Wei went to the underground boxing gym as usual, but the Nightingale Knight wasn't there. The gatekeeper handed him a note.
"Lin Wei, I'm provoked. I won't give up until I advance. I'll come find you after I advance. —The Nightingale Knight who's jealous of you."
"Haha, she still loves to throw tantrums." Lin Wei sighed helplessly, said goodbye to the gatekeeper, and wandered around the city for a while, inquiring about the whereabouts of the materials and breathing techniques, but unfortunately he found nothing.
"I can only try my luck at the Knights' Hall. I have a year's supply of regular Concentration Potions left, which I got from the Swan Prince's camp four years ago. They're barely usable."
As soon as I stepped into the Knights' Hall, I encountered the Red Horse Knight, whom I hadn't seen in a long time. He was leisurely drinking tea in a corner, looking like an ordinary middle-aged knight.
