Levi realized he did not need Undead Summoning for the time being since he already had the level 7 Seal of Hell. At the highest level of Undead Summoning, he could summon two first-circle hell creatures in battle, such as two Hell Strongmen. They would be of little help to Levi.
Sacred Insect Touch was different. Since it was a First-Ring Spell, the number of Sacred Insects Levi could control with it would be much greater than that of the cantrip Insect Controlling Technique. He might be able to control up to 10,000. With the current strength of Levi’s Sacred Insects, 10,000 of them attacking in full force could pose a huge threat to official wizards. The most important thing was that his Sacred Insects had growth potential. This meant that as the Sacred Insects evolved, his First-Ring Spell would become stronger in the future.
When Levi’s spiritual force improved further, he would still cultivate Undead
Summoning. The summoning spell was the basic spell for many Second-Ring Spells. Even if Levi did not use Undead Summoning after cultivating it, the proficiency points would not go to waste and would be passed down into advanced spells built upon it. Theoretically, a First-Circle Wizard could learn 20 First-Ring Spells, but Levi’s current spiritual force needed to be improved. His foundation was still weak, so he needed to choose which spell he learned carefully, and the order in which he learned the spells was also crucial.
Levi made up his mind. “Manla will continue to collect the refining materials for the arrays. Next, I’ll start constructing the spell model of the Sacred Insect Touch. Too many Saint Scorpions are in my Breeding Base now, and they’re almost beyond my control.”
He took out the manuscript for the Insect Controlling Technique. The spell model of the Sacred Insect Touch was recorded in this book.
Sacred Insect Touch was considered a medium-difficulty spell among the First-Ring Spells. With Levi’s current level, it took him less than half a month to successfully construct its spell model.
During construction, Levi discovered many structures in the Insect Controlling Technique were similar to that of the Sacred Insect Touch. It was apparent that one of them had referred to the other.
In short, since Levi had already established the foundation of the Insect
Controlling Technique, he could construct the spell model of the Sacred Insect Touch smoothly. To Levi’s surprise, the proficiency points of the Insect Controlling Technique were passed on to the Sacred Insect Touch.

[Sacred Insect Touch: Level 3 (1/10000)]
The cantrip Insect Controlling Technique, which used to be on Levi’s proficiency panel, had disappeared and was replaced by Sacred Insect Touch.
“This is perfect. This has saved me a lot of cultivation time.”
He could control 1,000 Saint Scorpions with the level 3 Sacred Insect Touch. This number was the same as the Insect Controlling Technique at maximum level.
Levi struck while the iron was hot. He cultivated this newly learned spell with his breathing techniques and Meditation Arts.
