Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 1056

Chapter 1041 Breeding: Sword Tiger Orchid Dragonfly and Windmill Dragonfly!

Locke placed the fire elemental power gem in his hand into the transformation magic array he had pieced together based on relevant literature. Within this array, the radiant light refracted by the power gem shone upon the second-ring magical plant, the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow.

“According to the article on gem cultivation methods in the first-section journal of ‘Raize,’ which I read, using special gems can indeed enhance the magical plant’s traits during its growth, and may even allow a single magical plant trait to reach a level that was originally impossible.”

Locke calculated the time, waiting for the second-ring magical plant, the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow fast-growing seedling, to complete its development and observe the effect.

But the next moment, the fast-growing seedling suddenly burst into flames. Then, it was placed into the self-made transformation magic array, and the fire elemental power gem floating in mid-air became very unstable.

Seeing this, Locke waved his hand, intending to interrupt the transformation ritual.

There are ten power gems in this world.

Remember the original website domain 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞.

Collecting all eight types is considered a complete set, known as the “Minor Eight Set.”

The fourth prince of the Golden Dynasty, the wizard Apian, possesses

the Minor Eight Set of Power Gems. Collecting the two rarest gems completes the “Ten Set,” the rarest being the two Power Gems called the Dark Lord and the Mirror of Light—the same ones the wizard from the True Good Throne used to wager on his sociological experiment. The

Minor Eight Set is relatively easy to obtain, but the Ten Set requires a bit of luck and resources beyond those of an average wizard.

If such a gem were to explode, it could likely destroy the planting room on this airship and turn the entire primeval forest he was currently in into a sea of fire. Therefore, Locke realized something was wrong and immediately tried to interrupt the process; if this happened, he would be forced to pay compensation.

However, his magic was repelled by the power gem that was beginning to go out of control.

Locke’s gaze sharpened, and his permanent defensive force field shell condensed the power of Myster, transforming into an axe that directly struck the gem, forcibly cleaving open the transformation magic array.

“Bang!”

A pillar of fire capable of severing spiritual tendrils appeared.

However, this explosion was ultimately interrupted by Locke’s own magic.

Locke extended his palm, and the gem landed in it. Looking at the rapidly growing seedling engulfed in flames, he pondered, “The experiment failed. Was it because the Moon Ring Wizard in Razer used a wind elemental power gem, while I used a fire elemental power gem? Was the magic array merely a modified copy?” “

As for the data—”

Locke retrieved the files from the Despair Valley Laboratory from his astral ring. Back then, the wizard Probus had tried every method to turn a year-old Cloud Rice into a perennial. For a time, he even planned to use multiple power gems of various elements to enhance a particular magical plant trait.

After all, magical plant traits are influenced not only by plant essence but also by the environment.

Even if the entire set of plant essence remains unchanged, differences in the environment will result in vastly different magical plant traits depending on the species.

Locke flipped through the files in his hand.

“I remember correctly. Wizard Probus, after years of unsuccessful research, set his sights on the Power Gem. In a sense, his thinking overlapped with mine.”

Locke quickly scanned the documents.

“The top-tier laboratory has ample resources and equipment. To explore the possibilities in this direction, this guy entrusted it to one of his second-circle wizard students, his most capable research group members and students. It seems they did quite a thorough study of the Power Gem back then.”

Because of its rarity, there’s very little publicly available research on the Power Gem.

“Hmm? When he experimented with the Power Gem, a massive explosion occurred. Although no one died, it destroyed a 50 million-level laboratory and severely injured over a dozen first-circle wizards.”

Upon seeing this, Locke immediately abandoned his experiments with the Power Gem on the wizard airship.

“If something like this can happen in a top-tier laboratory, it means the Power Stone itself is very dangerous. I’m close to the delivery date I agreed upon with Quinnjoll, and continuing to stubbornly stick to this direction while on the airship is pointless. If the cultivation chamber is blown up, it’ll be even harder to explain.” “

Let’s wait until we have more suitable research conditions,”

Locke said, flipping through the files. “However, many of Probus’s ideas are helpful to me; in many ways, they overlap with my own thoughts.”

“I actually found some things in his files that are helpful for my current breeding work. This is unexpected; no wonder my teacher asked me to look into his stuff.”

Locke flipped through the files, having gained a lot of inspiration while reviewing them earlier, and continued to search for more information.

Locke quickly discovered that Probus had used a magical plant called the “Big Windmill Banana” to graft Yunmi onto it, hoping to obtain the plant’s perennial potential.

The reason he targeted this magical plant was because the Big Windmill Banana is a perennial magical plant, and it is naturally easy to graft, as its wounds automatically secrete a natural magical structure similar to grafting healing. Therefore, Probus targeted it, wanting to use its natural suitability for grafting and its perennial nature to forcibly give Yunmi the traits of a perennial magical plant.

Locke saw in the dossier that this approach couldn’t be called a failure, because it was ultimately successful. Grafting Yunmi (a type of plant) and the second-ring magical plant, the Windmill Banana, together resulted in Yunmi developing perennial characteristics, although it also exhibited the magical plant trait of fruit spoilage.

This was likely related to a chain reaction of plant factors.

Of course, the dossier wasn’t detailed; it simply stated that Wizard Probus immediately abandoned this technical route, perhaps realizing it was a dead end.

“The Windmill Banana—”

Locke murmured, looking at the information in the dossier, also drawn to the plant’s natural suitability for grafting.

“Many of Probus’s ideas collide with mine, and this dossier almost summarizes all the experimental procedures he reported in the Despair Valley Laboratory. I hadn’t noticed this before, but it’s very enlightening for me. Big Windmill Banana—let’s ask the airship’s germplasm bank if they have any. The airship’s germplasm bank isn’t that advanced, but they might still have seeds of this kind of second-circle magical plant.”

The airship has a germplasm bank, as required by the White Wizarding Association.

This way, if the wizarding civilization were to suddenly suffer something like what happened at the end of the Great Void Exploration Era, the wizarding world could be guaranteed to have sufficient seed resources.

Locke continued reading the dossier, and he quickly found new inspiration in Probus’s dossier.

“The Sword Tiger Orchid is also an easily grafted magical plant.”

“And there’s a wealth of grafting information. I can use all of that.”

Locke scanned the file from beginning to end, then closed it and exhaled, saying, “You’ve really been a great help, Probus. With your help, I can cultivate at least two variants of the Great Green Leaf Dragonfly this month. Whether it’s Quinnjoll’s order or the request from the Tide Wizard Tower, I might have a solution.”

“Probus—”

Locke took a few steps, pondering, “Looking at his file, following his research line of thought, has another advantage: I can understand his personality through his past. Judging from his research records, he made many attempts to find a way to make Cloud Rice perennial. He’s someone who doesn’t like to take shortcuts, and he has a genuine love for magical plants.”

“He has his own ideals, which is why he wants to use this project to forge a supreme magic for himself and become a Moon Ring Wizard.”

Locke saw in the dossier that this person’s supreme magic, Evolution Garden, was mentioned. This was also a traditional supreme magic of Golden Crown Mountain, but what alerted Locke was that the other party had a very deep understanding of plant evolution.

Evolution Garden, a supreme magic, seemed to be able to reduce the cost of cultivating magical plants and increase the mutation rate, and make it easier to target mutations.

Locke closed the dossier, pondering, “No wonder I found reading the records of his experiments back then so helpful; it turns out he and I were both Star Ring Wizards on the path of evolution.” “

He was still at the limit of Star Ring Magic Pressure, preparing to use evolutionary magic to become a Moon Ring Wizard.”

“I have a complete set of dossiers related to him; studying his life can help advance my research.”

As Locke left the planting room, he encountered two Star Ring Wizards from his investigation team. The Star Ring Witch wearing a reindeer mask whispered to Locke, “Lord Augustine, we’ve discovered that a member of the Maupassant family, the ruling family of the Fear of Terror, is on this airship. We wonder if they’re after us.”

The Star Ring Wizard wearing a lion mask said, “Mr. Augustine, what do you think we should do now?”

Locke smiled, “It’s none of our business.”

Locke quickly left.

The Star Ring Witch wearing the reindeer mask clearly hadn’t expected Locke to say that; she stood there stunned.

“I wonder what Captain Augustine is up to. We’ve had a hard time running into him since he boarded the airship,”

said the ringed wizard with the lion mask. “I’ve heard that Mr. Augustine is a very diligent wizard, even in our Three Swamps region, he’s quite hardworking. Maybe he’s doing some kind of experiment? Although I also think it’s a bit inefficient to do these things on an airship. By the way, Deer, I really want to know your true identity.”

“Having been in this hastily organized investigation team for so long, I know nothing about you except that you’re a breeder,”

said the witch with the deer mask. “I know the same about you. I’m only certain that you’re a botanical wizard. It’s better if we keep our identities secret. Not everyone has a background like Augustine’s. His teacher is now the de facto leader of Golden Crown Mountain, and his word is law. There are some things he can do openly, and no one dares to go against him because everyone knows who’s behind him. But if the two of us do it, Probus will be our cautionary tale.”

The ringed wizard with the lion mask was clearly unconvinced.

“Ultimately, it’s Mr. Probus’s own problem. I don’t think anyone can do anything to a Star Ring Wizard if he doesn’t have any problems himself. We are all people who can explain the world with theories and see the essence of everything in this world.”

“What kind of conspiracy or trickery can harm us?”

The two were speechless for a moment.

The Star Ring Wizard wearing the lion mask said, “In any case, let’s just go to the Rain Swamp as soon as possible to go through the procedures, and then go home happily.”

“There’s no point in getting involved in

this mess.” “I think Lord Augustine probably thinks the same way, after all, he’s quite busy. And, I don’t think he has many useful students under him.”

Inside the warehouse of the wizard airship, Locke walked into the warehouse and saw a witch with dark circles under her eyes, leading a group of wizards with tattoos, earrings, and a style of dress that was obviously different from ordinary wizards, surrounding the warehouse manager, seemingly wanting some special materials.

The Star Ring Witch, with her dark circles under her eyes, crossed her arms and, accompanied by an arrogant wizard, addressed the warehouse manager: “What rare materials? Can’t we buy them? This wizard beside me is named Grant Richard. I specially invited him from the Mountain and Water Deer Hill Wizarding Land, next to Dragonfall Land. You haven’t heard of him? Well, that’s right, you’re just a lowly warehouse manager.”

“This Mr. Grant Richard is a student of the famous wizard sword-making master over there. Any material in his hands can be transformed into an extremely powerful magic sword raw material.” “

I advise you to give us the Fire Radiance Ancient Beast Bone.”

The warehouse manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “No, it’s just that this material has already been reserved by a customer.”

The Star Ring Witch immediately turned to look at Locke and said, “Him?”

“This kid?”

The warehouse manager hurriedly said, “No, no. It has nothing to do with this wizard.”

Locke saw the aloof, tall Star Ring Witch beside the spoiled and willful witch glance at him, but after hearing the manager’s denial, she immediately looked away without any concern.

The warehouse manager said, “The Fire Emperor Ancient Beast Bones are difficult to preserve, so unless there’s a special order, we definitely won’t proactively purchase and store them on the wizard airships for transport. Gentlemen, please don’t make things difficult for a mere first-ring wizard like me.” “

We can’t give you the material we ordered. If we did, how would I explain it to that Star Ring Wizard? If he complains, I’ll be expelled from the academy and lose my job.”

“Please, gentlemen, don’t make things difficult for us,”

the Star Ring Witch with dark circles under her eyes said arrogantly. “Who cares if you live or die? What does it have to do with us? The point is, the people I invited need ancient beast bones to forge a magic sword. If we don’t have Fire Emperor Beast Bones, then we can use other ancient beast bones.”

“I really don’t believe anyone would dare to be an enemy of the Maupassant family in the Rain Swamp, not even a formal wizard instructor from the Reptile Garden!”

“Everyone has witnessed how much tax our Maupassant family pays to the White Wizarding Association of the Rainswamp every year and how much economic revenue we generate. Our Maupassant family is half the sky of the Rainswamp!”

On the other side, Locke hadn’t expected to encounter the renowned Maupassant family of the Rainswamp here, but he didn’t want to get involved in this conflict and wanted to leave immediately after obtaining the materials.

Everyone knew that the Rainswamp had a crazy obsession with dinosaurs, and although the Terror Fang was a dark wizarding organization, the ruling Maupassant family was basically the type that had connections in both the legal and illegal worlds.

It was better for him to keep his distance from such ambiguous wizarding forces, since it was unlikely that he would have any business cooperation with them anyway.

A tall witch wearing a red wizard’s robe appeared beside Locke, and she had a special fragrance about her, probably the magical perfume of the Red Demon Rose.

The witch walked up to Locke, a smirk playing on her lips. “Look at how arrogant the Maupassant family is. They’re just dark wizards, yet they act like they’re the boss, and everyone else is second-in-command.”

“I think they’ll get their comeuppance sooner or later.”

“It’s just that the White Wizarding Association of the Rainswamp is tolerating them for the sake of more revenue.”

“I am the Red Witch of the Rainswamp, [Mormodice]. Hello, Mr. Locke Augustine. I’ve read many of your articles in the District 1 journal and am amazed at how you always manage to find so many special imaginary roots and special spiritual energy.”

The Red Witch [Mormodice] smiled at Locke. “By the way, I’m also a breeder.”

“It’s an honor to meet you today. If we have time, let’s exchange ideas. I also have a special interest in flying magical plants.”

Locke hadn’t expected to meet a Rainswamp wizard here who knew him and had read his articles.

“Hello, Ms. Mormodice.”

The Red Witch produced a magical plant.

“Look, this is the flying magical plant I cultivated, the [Floating Red Maple Tree]. It uses the winged fruits of this maple species as its propulsion. These special spinning winged fruits float on the canopy, carrying me and the Floating Red Maple Tree with it.”

“It’s like a magical umbrella that can fly automatically.”

“But I have a concept: a flying magical plant should have the ability to switch between a flying-assisting magical plant and an attack magical plant.”

The witch Mormodis smiled at Locke, “So when I put away this magical umbrella…”

Locke saw the branches of the Floating Red Maple Tree in her hand, which originally looked like a bonsai garden plant, gradually retract and finally transformed into a spear-shaped tree.

Locke immediately realized that this was another form of the tree person’s [Spear Throw].

Because he had fought Edgar several times in the competition before, he was very familiar with this.

Locke nodded, “Madam Red Witch, your idea is quite unique. A magical plant can freely switch between flying and attacking forms. However, there’s a problem: why would a wizard want a single magical plant to have so many functions? Couldn’t he just buy a purely attacking magical plant?”

The Red Witch smiled, “Mr. Locke, you seem to have misunderstood something. Not all wizards have the talent and strength of you and me. For ordinary wizards, the pressure increases with each additional magical plant they acquire to form a magical bond with.

Therefore, a multi-functional magical plant is meaningful. Secondly, a multi-functional magical plant can more easily exert its function in battle.”

The Red Witch said, “Alright, see you later. I need to go get my Fire Emperor Ancient Beast Bone. If there’s a chance, we can exchange ideas more often. I’m still very interested in discussing flying magical plants with you. I heard you recently started a shop alliance called Aladdin.”

Locke’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked at her thoughtfully.

The red-clad witch approached the warehouse manager and said casually, “Alright, manager, the Fire Radiance Ancient Bone Fertilizer I ordered before boarding the airship should be thawed by now. You can hand it over to me now.”

The Star Ring Witch from the Maupassant family narrowed her eyes.

“Ah? So the bone was what you ordered. This strange witch, I want that bone. Name your price. We need it for something more meaningful. We’re crafting a very powerful magic sword, full of the characteristics of the Rain Swamp.”

“Have some decency and let us have the bone. This is Mr. Grant Richard.”

The red-clad witch glanced at Grant Richard with amusement, then smirked and said, “I’ve heard of him. A newly risen magic sword maker, he recently crafted a magic sword that directly cut through an old magic sword that no one could challenge in the last fifty years of the Star Ring stage, making him famous overnight.”

“Impressive.”

A smug smile appeared on Grant Richard’s face, but he remained silent.

The red-clad witch said, “But what does that have to do with me? What does it have to do with my animal bones?”

“Warden, give me the animal bones. There are just too many irrelevant people here. Talking to these mediocre people makes me dizzy. Compared to that, talking to Mr. Locke Augustine makes me clear-headed.”

“Communication is best with intelligent people.”

The witch from the Maupassant family’s expression changed slightly, then she said, “You!”

Grant Richard, the wizard, looked at the red-clad witch and asked, “Are you saying I’m a mediocre person, while that wizard over there is a clever one? Who are you? What’s your name? Aren’t you a little too confident? How many chapters have you posted in Zone 1?”

The red-clad witch took the magic box containing the ancient beast bones from the trembling administrator’s hands, smiled contemptuously, and left without a word.

The witch from the Maupassant family gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with rage.

“Damn it. If we weren’t on the airship—I would have had someone take care of her already.”

“I’ve never seen such an arrogant person.”

“Alright, Grant Richard. Let’s go, let’s discuss this together. I don’t believe we can make the magic sword without using the Firefire Ancient Beast Bone. Let’s find a way; there should be a way to replace this material. Don’t let that bitch provoke you and get involved with people who have nothing to do with this.”

The Star Ring Witch said, “I’ve heard of Locke Augustine. A lot of news in the Three Swamps is shared. It’s said that after he won the Silent Grail Tournament, some third-ring wizards placed bets on him, betting on what kind of wizard he would become within ten years.” “

That bitch is definitely trying to shift the blame. Once we get off the wizard airship, I’ll immediately have my family investigate her background. If she has a background, that’s fine, but if she has no background and is just an ordinary wizard.”

A fierce glint flashed across the Star Ring Witch’s face.

“Then I’ll make her pay.”

Grant Richard’s eyes flashed with displeasure, especially after hearing his patron, the young princess of the Maupassant family—his most generous customer who had funded the creation of numerous magic swords—publicly praise another wizard as a genius. He was even more annoyed.

But since his patron had spoken, he had nothing to say, so he remained expressionless, arms crossed.

After they left, Locke found the warehouse manager and gave him a list of documents.

“The Maupassant family is certainly arrogant,”

the warehouse manager said with a wry smile after bowing to Locke.

“My lord, the items on the list are all quite ordinary, so I can gather them all for you right now. Who says otherwise? You’re a wizard from the Cloud Marsh, aren’t you? Although the general culture of the Three Marshes is similar, they’re all the same. But because the Rain Marsh lacks academies of medium size or larger, each academy is a single specialized college, resulting in a particularly large number of wizarding families in our wizarding lands.” “

And not ordinary wizarding families. If they relied on blood ties, that would be one thing, but these wizarding families—

they’re semi-open, allowing outstanding individuals from the outside to join. They become sworn brothers, like the Maupassant family.”

Locke nodded. In a sense, this was a situation inevitably caused by the lack of a wizarding organization of the scale of the Nexus in the Rain Marsh.

Lacking a large wizarding organization to maintain credibility, wizards spontaneously formed a special society that used simulated blood ties to fill the power vacuum.

It seems there must be quite a few such special wizarding families in the Rain Marsh.

Actually, they can’t really be considered families anymore.

They’re different from the families in the Six Towers Land.

Of course, the lack of a large wizarding organization is likely not the only key reason for the formation of this society. Locke suspects that the special worship of dinosaur bloodlines in the Rain Swamp may have played a crucial role in this process.

However, he quickly searched through a large amount of information but couldn’t find any research on this topic on the free bookshelf within the Water Hyacinth System.

After obtaining the materials, Locke quickly returned to the planting room and sent a message to the entire investigation team, instructing them to avoid direct conflict with the Maupassant family.

Inside the planting room, Locke cultivated the land himself, spending half a day cultivating a hundred acres of magical fields.

Then he activated the wizarding array in the planting room and began planting seeds of the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow and the Great Windmill Banana in the magical fields.

Fifty acres of each type of seed.

He planned to use grafting to cultivate the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow based on the information from Wizard Probus, further strengthening the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow that had already adapted to the Abyss, but trying not to increase costs.

The reason for using the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow for cultivation is that both the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow and the Great Windmill Banana are second-ring magical plants, allowing for grafting and breeding.

He already possesses the Ancestral Evolution Breeding Method, and thanks to the information on the sun’s trajectory from the Cold Mountain Ruins obtained through Alaric’s prior request, the accuracy of this method has further increased. This is sufficient to revert the advanced magical plant back to the first-ring magical plant, the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow, using the Ancestral Evolution Breeding Method.

Locke believes this approach will further enhance the level of his

Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow. Two weeks later, in the primeval forest within the planting room, half of the hundred acres of magical fields Locke had cultivated were now planted with fast-growing

Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow plants. Standing before a fast-growing Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow plant, Locke, after two weeks of repeated breeding experiments, producing four batches and continuously synthesizing, had finally obtained the enhanced version of the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow he desired.

This particular Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow differed from the ordinary version, possessing four banana leaves resembling dragon wings.

One pair of banana leaves were the original magical plant parts of the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow, while the other pair, resembling smaller dragon wings, were the leaves of the Great Windmill Banana. These leaves, shaped like a windmill and angular,

acted as the secondary wings of the original main dragon wings.

Locke looked at the plant’s description: Great Windmill Dragon Sparrow. It was a magical plant cultivated through long-term grafting, breeding, and selective breeding, combining the advantages of both the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow and the Great Windmill Banana. Its four pairs of banana leaves were respectively entwined with golden and verdant spiritual energy. The golden spiritual energy could create flames for high-speed movement, while the verdant spiritual energy, through the Great Windmill Dragon Sparrow’s unique energy flow pattern and the chain mechanism of its internal energy-locking structure and natural magical energy conversion, could continuously produce powerful magical winds.

The combination of the two allows the already incredibly fast Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow, whose speed is already at its limit among second-ring magical plants, to move even faster. However, the downside is that using this magical plant puts more pressure on the wizard, seemingly because it’s grafted from two powerful second-ring magical plants.

Locke used the “Blooming and Falling Flowers” technique to transform this magical plant into a fast-growing variety, then planted it in the magic field, using a wisp of Azure Spirit Essence mined from the Three Caverns World.

The mine there has already begun operation, and fifteen pieces of Azure Spirit Essence were transported back last month, so although Locke is short of money, he seems to have enough Azure Spirit Essence.

Locke used this Azure Spirit Essence to bring three truly adult Great Windmill Dragon Sparrows to life.

The three Great Windmill Dragon Sparrows hovered in mid-air, their two pairs of banana-shaped wings constantly flapping forward, the flames blowing forward with the breeze, turning into waves of fire. With

a wave of his hand, Locke caused the impending wildfire to vanish silently due to the waves of fire formed by the hot wind.

“That way, the Great Windmill Dragon Sparrow can fly even faster,”

Locke pondered. “In the past two weeks, I also grafted a fast-growing seedling of the Sword Tiger Orchid onto a Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow, completing a second-ring magical plant.”

Locke summoned a Sword-Edge from his Astral Ring. It had a pair of banana leaves, and the blade resembled a serpentine greatsword, but the surface of the blade had tiger-skin-like patterns of alternating emerald and dark green. This was because the Sword Tiger Orchid magical plant was grafted onto the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow. Although the two were spiritually integrated, the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow was still the dominant species.

Therefore, this Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow was still a banana-type magical plant.

However, after creating three batches of magical plants and based on past experimental records from Wizard Probus, the Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow had acquired many characteristics of the Sword Tiger Orchid.

For example, the Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow had acquired the Sword Tiger Orchid’s hardened, sword-like leaves, and the edges of these leaves were extremely sharp.

The most distinctive feature of the Sword Tiger Orchid, besides being easily grafted, is its unique sword-like leaves, possessing three specialized energy-locking structures: an ultra-sharp cuticle, a wood fiber nephrite particle layer, and a hydraulic fiber layer.

While many magical plants share the characteristic of an ultra-thick cuticle—using keratinized outer cells to enhance defense or provide support—

the Sword Tiger Orchid sharpens its cuticle by absorbing nephrite particles from the soil. This transforms the cuticle into a highly effective weapon, capable of cutting through almost anything at the second-level.

Secondly, it actively fibrouses the vascular bundles and other structures of its leaves, creating a wood fiber structure that produces and absorbs nephrite particles. This structure provides support and absorbs, stores, and produces nephrite particles, supplying them to the outermost ultra-sharp cuticle.

The hydraulic fiber layer, by allowing each cell to absorb a large amount of water, creates an extremely high internal pressure, acting like a hydraulic system. This gives the sword-shaped leaves of the Sword Tiger Orchid the ability to remain upright and unyielding regardless of impact.

These three energy-locking structures of the leaves are the classic three structures of the Sword Tiger Orchid.

At this moment, through grafting and cultivation, and with the help of the Probus Wizard’s records, Locke enabled the Great Mingli Dragon Sparrow to acquire the most important three leaf structures of the Sword Tiger Orchid.

The result is the Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow.

The Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow retains the classic three leaf structures of the Sword Tiger Orchid, but also possesses the powerful ability of the Great Mingli Dragon Sparrow to fish for golden spiritual energy.

The key point is that the heavy particles of the Huan element are produced through the wood fiber Huan particle layer of the Sword Tiger Orchid. However, the special substance that restricts the Sword Tiger Orchid from producing these heavy particles is that the Sword Tiger Orchid itself is very weak, with low basic abilities, making it difficult to produce too many Huan particles.

Moreover, the production of Huan particles requires a high-temperature and high-pressure environment and a large amount of nutrients.

Locke, however, unexpectedly discovered that the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow could enhance the basic stats of the Sword Tiger Orchid, and that the Golden Spirit Breath could directly create mirror particles through the wood fiber ring particle layer.

This changed the significance of the Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow.

“Probus Wizard’s files might not be of much significance to others, but for me, whose thought process somewhat overlaps with mine, they can provide a great deal of inspiration.” “

This Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow—”

Locke gripped the Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow in his hand. A banana leaf transformed into a sword hilt, several dragon horns became the sword handle, and a specialized banana leaf with tiger stripes in the center became a serpentine blade. This serpentine blade even constantly generated special flames that coiled around the sword.

Locke swung it slightly, and the air seemed to howl. A small hill in front of the forest ahead was cleaved in two by the Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow.

“Not bad.”

“The energy-locking structure of the Sword Tiger Orchid itself complements the golden spiritual energy of my Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow perfectly. This magical plant’s performance has exceeded my expectations. Although it has completely lost its ability to fly, the three special energy-locking structures in its leaves, combined with the golden spiritual energy, seem to have made this magical plant an excellent weapon-type magical plant even among second-ring magical plants.” “

But I originally just wanted to make a flying magical plant—” “

Never mind.”

Locke pondered, “This is an unexpected bonus. Sometimes it just happens like this. Quinnjoll and the Tide Wizard Tower might not need it, but I can find other buyers. Good things will always find a buyer.” “

Although the magical plant stats of my Great Windmill Dragon Sparrow have increased, the consumption on the user has increased. As for the cost, it won’t change much.”

“It just used up the two million magic stones I saved over the past two months as development funds,”

Locke pondered. “But the high cost to the user is a problem; Quinnjoll might not accept it. The idea of the red witch I encountered before could be a good reference. But if I rashly ask her, the probability of being rejected is high.”

At this moment, Locke noticed someone urgently contacting him through the Ganoderma lucidum plant. He took out the plant and saw it was a member of his investigation team sending him a message. “

Oh no, Augustine, one of the wizards from the Maupassant family has gone mad, wielding a wizard’s sword and hacking people around. He’s saying he wants to challenge you to a duel and is heading this way.” “

Captain, everyone in our team, and many wizards, are heading your way.”

The Maupassant family said the experiment went out of control. “We don’t know if it’s true or not; maybe they’re deliberately targeting you.”

Locke was stunned.

In the airship’s public library, Grant Richard, his eyes bloodshot, gripped a wizard’s sword in his right hand. The hilt of the sword bore an eye resembling that of a beholder, its gaze swirling. He was enveloped in black mist, radiating demonic power.

“Locke Augustine, you come out here! Some say your creations are superior to mine—how shameless!”

“I am the world’s most brilliant alchemist, the most brilliant wizard. You come out here! I want to fight you and see who makes the better thing!”

Two ship crew members tried to stop him, but Grant swept them down with a swift stroke of his sword.

Seeing the library doors blocked, Grant burst into maniacal laughter and slashed at them. The door, crafted from the No. 5 Chrono Crystal, a barrier even a second-circle wizard would struggle to breach in a short time, was easily cleaved into pieces and collapsed with a crash.

The Maupassant family wizards behind Grant were visibly tense.

The young princess of the Maupassant family shouted at the wizard Grant, “Grant, what are you doing?”

“How could you let a wizard’s sword control your mind?”

A wizard with the Fang of Terror beside her pulled her aside and whispered, “Oh no, miss, the wizard you invited seems to have gone mad. It seems there was an experimental accident. The important thing is that we signed a waiver and compensation agreement with him. Under these circumstances, he has seriously violated wizarding law. We must immediately sever ties with him and pursue all criminal charges against him.”

“Miss, let’s get away from him quickly,”

the young princess of the Maupassant family glared at him.

“How could I possibly cut him off? I hired him. How could I shirk responsibility?”

“Don’t say that.”

“Huh? Locke Augustine? Didn’t I have your men tell you not to leave the cultivation room? Why did you come here yourself? What are you trying to do? Trying to scam me?”

“Grant, stop! You can’t kill someone in an area with a lot of True Sight Crystals! Besides, Locke Augustine hasn’t even spoken a word to you, and he’s not an alchemist. Can’t you stop being so narrow-minded? You’re an alchemist with a lineage of renowned swords!”

“Don’t you have any self-respect?!”
