Until now, Levi had practiced so many Bloodline Breathing Techniques and had been fine.

If there were signs of the opposite, he would immediately stop cultivating. Everything was normal until now. It should be the hidden function of the proficiency panel.

Levi planned to master all the seals on the book before giving it to the descendants of the Winchester or Constantine Family.

Of the four great seals, the Constantine Family had the Seal of Flames and the Seal of Hell.

The Seal of Flame could shoot out a scorching flame from the palm. The strength of the flame flow was related to two factors. One was the density of one’s lineage. The thicker the lineage, the stronger the flames. The Constantine Family’s bloodline had gradually thinned over the generations, so the power of the fire had decreased with each age. They tried to avoid this by marrying close relatives until a group of deformed children were born. The family accepted the fact that it could not be changed.

Another factor that determined the strength of the flame was the depth of one’s cultivation. The higher the cultivation level, the more Aether power could be mobilized through the seal and the stronger the flame flow.

In essence, the seal was a weaker version of a spell.

The Seal of Flames was a low-level version of the First-Ring Spell, Burning Palm. Meanwhile, the Seal of Hell was a low-level version of the First-Ring Spell, Undead Summoning. The latter could summon powerful undead from another dimension, while the former could only resurrect corpses. This summoned creature was also known as the “living dead.” Its combat power depended on the strength of the corpse when it was alive, but its strength was lower than the living being. However, it was perfect as cannon fodder.

The Winchester Family’s Seal of Protection was a weaker version of the

First-Ring Spell, Shield. It could form a protective force field around the body and strongly resist physical attacks. It could also block attacks from creatures like evil spirits.

The last “Seal of Dragon Might” was the Winchester Family’s seal used for attacks. It could only be cast with the blood of a dragon. It did not matter if it was a pure-blooded dragon, a sub-dragon, or a mixed-blood dragon. The purer the bloodline, the more powerful it was. However, the Winchester Family usually used the blood of Earthly Dragon Beasts, which were not considered mixed-blood dragons. It was shocking that they were still able to utilize the seal.

Based on this, the Winchester Family concluded that the Earthly Dragon Beasts were probably the descendants of some mixed-blood dragons and mortal creatures from a long time ago.

The Earthly Dragon Beast blood was not very precious, and its production was much higher than ambergris. Levi had plenty of it.

The Seal of Dragon Might was a spiritual attack that could shock the enemy’s mind and even directly attack the body of an imaginary creature like an evil spirit! It was the Winchester Family’s trump card, so their family was also known as the “Spirit Exorcist Family.”

Other than the Constantine Family, the four great families had their specialties: evil spirits, monsters, and vampires. The Constantine family was more versatile and could participate in anything. “Flame flow, Hell, Protection, Dragon’s Might.”

“Which one should I learn first?” Levi muttered.

“Forget it; I’ll learn them all. Then, I’ll focus on whichever casting material is easier to collect.”

Levi immediately started to study hand gestures and cultivation techniques for

seals.

“It’s a pity that there’s no meditation technique in the Spirit Exorcism Manual. If there was, I might be able to try practicing meditation techniques first to prepare to become a wizard.”

Although Levi had yet to become a wizard, from the various information he had collected and the descriptions in the Spirit Exorcism Manual, the three main foundations of wizard cultivation were meditation, which could train a wizard’s spiritual power, and Aether power, which was the source of energy for wizards to cast spells. Casting materials were the medium for wizards to cast spells. Not all seals needed casting materials. The third was the “spell model,” “the foundation for mastering spells. The “CPU” processor transformed the power of Aether into various spells.

However, Levi was already delighted to be able to obtain the seal.

He immediately began to study the hand gestures of the four great hand seals.

From the initial awkwardness to the slight familiarity, Levi gradually understood everything.

The knowledge regarding cultivating the four great seals was imprinted into his mind as time passed. Levi cultivated without rest or food.

It was only when he was awakened by hunger that he realized that he had unknowingly been immersed in the cultivation of the seal for an entire day. He opened the proficiency panel, but there was not a single seal that he had learned yet.

“Looks like it’s not enough. Perhaps, if I want to record it on the proficiency panel, I must use the casting materials and complete a successful casting. Otherwise, no matter how familiar I am with the hand seal, it won’t be a successful casting,” Levi muttered.

He stood up and stretched his muscles. He planned to get his subordinates to collect the casting materials for him. So far, among the casting materials of the four great seals, from Levi’s current perspective, he felt that the only one that could be collected was the Seal of Flames. Sulfur powder, a charcoal powder made from black dragon wood, and bone ash from a hundred-year-old tomb.

“Magic gunpowder from another world?” Levi found it a little funny. Gunpowder technology had not been invented, perhaps because saltpeter had not been discovered and refined yet. Levi had embarrassed the transmigrators by making explosives a necessary skill for transmigrators.

As for the Seal of Draconic Might, apart from the Earthly Dragon Beast’s blood, it also required something called Evil Spirit Dust, which was the powder left behind by dead evil spirits. The problem was that Levi had never seen an evil spirit other than Naiad. Whether he could defeat it was still a question, even if he encountered one. He could not obtain the Evil Spirit Dust.

“If I could kill evil spirits with my bare hands, why would I need the Seal of Dragon Might?” Levi was speechless.

The Seal of Hell required the “Core of the Undead,” only Undead creatures could produce. Levi had never heard of Undead creatures before, though he had an idea: the Snow Demon appeared in the Evernight Kingdom in the far north.

From the descriptions of the wandering knights lucky enough to return, the Snow Demon was most likely an Undead creature.

The Seal of Protection that Levi, a fan of the Stacked Armor Style, wanted the most required Pyroxene, a material similar to mithril and Luminant Gold, both products of meteorites from outer space. However, Pyroxene was rarer than the two, so Levi had never heard of it.

Without any materials, Levi could only temporarily put aside the seals and continue cultivating breathing techniques.

A few days later, the materials for the Seal of Flames were finally ready, and Levi could finally try casting it..
