Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 567

Chapter 564 Planting the Ancient Tree of Life and Expanding the Sanctuary of the Forest

On the first floor of the Dragon Blood Market Castle, in the largest magic plant shop in the Dragon Blood Market, [Golden Peach Garden], Locke walked among the powerful magic plants and breeder equipment on the shelves.

“The Four Elements Ring is very rare, and it’s not just a matter of price.”

“That’s the latest invention from the Land of the Dragonfall. It hasn’t been sold in other wizarding lands yet.”

A botanical wizard in the first-ring liquefaction stage walked in front of Locke. His eyes moved among the lotus boxes. He suddenly stopped in front of a shelf, picked up four lotus boxes, opened them, and took out four magic rings from them.

The style of the four rings looks very simple.

Entangled with powerful elemental forces.

The trader took out one of the fire element rings and put it on Locke’s left index finger. He said in amazement, “Many people think these magic weapons are just magic weapons, but I always think they have their own thoughts. Perhaps it’s because I don’t understand alchemy and enchantment that I have such mysterious associations. But be careful when using these magic rings…”

“They are dangerous.”

“It seems suitable. Each ring is 200,000 magic stones, a total of 800,000 magic stones.”

Locke took out eighty magic crystal cards with some pain and exchanged them for four elemental rings from the other party.

In this way, he spent a total of 900,000 magic stones in the past few days.

If I hadn’t taken out a loan, I wouldn’t even be able to pay the money.

In fact, a large portion of the 1.7 million magic stones he had on hand, including the loan, did not belong entirely to him.

Five hundred thousand is a loan, five hundred thousand is a project fund, and seven hundred thousand is my personal savings.

Now, after all this spending, I only have 400,000 yuan left in my savings. All the loans have been used up, and there are still 400,000 yuan left in the project fund.

Therefore, I currently have a deposit of 800,000 magic stones.

Locke thought to himself, “Money is really hard to spend.”

Locke adjusted the order of the rings on his hands, put the Druid Ring on his thumb, and then put the four elements rings on the remaining fingers of his left hand. At the same time, he put the Scorpion Woman Ring on his right thumb, the White Dragon Ring on his right ring finger, and the Star Ring on his right index finger.

The Three Elements Shield Ring can only be thrown into the Star Ring to gather dust.

Locke was afraid that he would buy something again, so he quickly left the Golden Peach Garden.

He returned to the dormitory and immediately opened the Druid Ring, walked into it, took out a polygonal seed of the Tree of Life, walked to the center of the forest sanctuary, and gently dug a little soil in the ground. Then he put the seed of the Ancient Tree of Life in it.

But the seeds of the ancient tree of life suddenly floated up from the pit, flashing with green magical light.

Locke was stunned for a moment, then he understood. “Is it because of insufficient energy?”

Suddenly, four huge balls of light appeared in the sky of the demiplane inside the Druid’s Ring, representing wind, water, fire, and earth.

First, the flame turned into a ball of fire, which replaced the reflected light of the sun in the main material plane in this world and became the sun here. Then the water turned into a ball of ice and became the moon here.

Next, the earth elemental light ball sank into the earth, and then the wind elemental light ball merged into the sky above the demiplane.

The four elemental sources of wind, water, fire and earth are the fundamental power of the world. The simultaneous action of the four forces even makes the demiplane more similar to the real world.

Locke looked at the seed of the ancient tree of life and found that the seed was closer to the ground, but it was still about a finger’s height and had not completely fallen.

“Isn’t that enough? Logically, the Ring of the Four Elements can make the space inside the Druid Ring more like the real world.”

Locke thought of something and put all the remaining moss marrow that he had taken out from the six towers in his star ring into the pit.

Ten moss marrows released magical light in the pit.

Among them were those given to him by Senior Brother Anthony, and also those given to him by Alicia. After the moss marrow melted, it turned into a majestic life energy, covering the soil with a layer of life magic glow, and the powerful natural force gushed out.

These moss piths have been buried underground for thousands of years. After countless years of incubation, they finally turned into crystals.

At this moment, all this energy burst out.

Thus, the seeds of the ancient tree of life that were originally floating on the surface of the soil finally fell safely and entered the soil.

In just a moment, a green seedling emerged from the ground, lush and green, with a young seedling, two tender leaves, and a little green bud.

In essence, the Ancient Tree of Life is actually a three-ring magic plant, which means that he owns the seedling of the first three-ring magic plant.

It’s just that the energy required by the Ancient Tree of Life is extremely huge, which is considered very much among the three-ring magic plants. Therefore, back then, Isisdal was just a one-ring crystallized nightmare.

Even though it was already in the Emerald Dream, it had contaminated a large area, gained a large amount of energy, and killed at least five scavengers of the Jungle Hand.

It can be seen that the resources needed to make the ancient tree of life grow are enormous.

When Locke thought of this, he suddenly rubbed his eyebrows in distress. After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have raised a super gold-eating beast.

However, he could stop inputting resources at any time, but facing a demon plant that was at the third ring level when it matured, he had no reason or logic to stop investing.

The seeds of the ancient tree of life are definitely treasures among treasures.

If the Emerald Dream had not summoned him, he might not have had the chance to touch this treasure.

From this point of view, Edgar, who used the Tree of Life in the Yunze Cup, was indeed a genius among geniuses.

At the same time, a large amount of energy was absorbed into the seedling of the Ancient Tree of Life, but the seedling did not change much, and only maintained the magic pressure above the apprentice level.

This is because there is not enough energy. The energy invested can only make the ancient tree of life sprout, but cannot support its continued growth.

But despite this, within his 1,500-acre Druid Ring and the 100-acre forest sanctuary, there are 671 trees and 71 first-ring magic plants.

A ring of magical plants… the golden apple tree, the cloud sea mist pine, the blue ginkgo tree, the winter and summer giant tree, the red holly, the water beech, and six hundred double-ball plane trees, all expressed their welcome and submission to the seedling of the ancient tree of life.

The Ancient Tree of Life is naturally a superior demonic plant!

The Ancient Tree of Life expressed its submission to him. With the Ancient Tree of Life seedling, although the overall strength of his forest sanctuary did not increase much, the degree of power integration became higher.

Locke touched his palm on the surface of the Ancient Tree of Life. It seemed that because of the special agreement with the Emerald Dream, he did not spend much effort to complete the magic grafting with the Ancient Tree of Life. He did not even go through the most basic stage of conquering the magic plant.

It was as if… this ancient tree of life was born for itself.

“Isisdal did say that, to thank me, it gave me a part of its reincarnation. And the other part went on to reincarnate. In other words, this new sapling of the Ancient Tree of Life before me was indeed… born for me.”

“Be there for me.”

Through the saplings of the ancient tree of life, Locke increased the power integration of the forest sanctuary by at least one level.

There were three golden apple trees planted by the magic ring. They were lush and green, and they produced golden apples. Locke walked over, picked a golden apple and put it in his mouth.

The golden apple is a special magical fruit that can restore some of one’s youth after being eaten. If a mortal eats it, it can prolong life, adding about ten years to the lifespan, and will never age before death, remaining forever young.

After all, death does not mean aging.

The sea of clouds and mist pines are shrouded in mist, the soil around the blue ginkgo trees is covered with a layer of frost, and six red holly trees are lush and green, silently guarding the forest and becoming silent forest defenders.

Locke looked at the winter and summer giant trees and the beech trees. The beech trees were full of vitality. These fifty beech trees only increased the total amount of organisms in the forest sanctuary. Their strong vitality was their biggest advantage, so they had no other special functions.

Fagus sylvatica is the backbone of the forest.

The six winter and summer giant trees are huge in size and stand out in the forest. They are not only tall but also thick. Even if twenty people stand in a circle and hug them, they cannot hug them.

The surface of the Winter and Summer Giant Tree is a mixture of green and red. The overall structure is relatively simple, with only one giant tree, roots, and two forked branches, each with several leaves on it.

Locke took out the golden engraving knife. Because of the saplings of the ancient tree of life, the maturity of his forest had become higher. Now he could do two things that he had never done before –

First, it is engraved with the combination defense magic rune of Life Reload, and possesses Mrs. Mist’s second special permanent defense force field – Life Reload.

Second, expand your forest sanctuary again.

Wizard Levis, the former headmaster of Lilith’s Hut, once said that forests also have an age, and an adult forest is just the beginning.

Locke, on the other hand, wanted to continue growing his already large forest sanctuary and move closer to the ancient forest.

This will have at least three major benefits.

First, it actually increases one’s own strength. The stronger the Forest Sanctuary is, the stronger the magic pressure will become, although it cannot continue to increase due to the limit of the soul.

Second, the continuously growing forest sanctuary will help you explore the boundaries of the second ring.

Third, the continued growth of the Forest Sanctuary can enhance one’s understanding of botanical magic and nature. It also represents one’s understanding of the world.

Before, the reason why he was not in a hurry to expand the forest was because he had just moved more than 60 first-ring magic plants in, and the forest needed to adapt. Otherwise, if the total amount of organisms was increased rashly without maintaining the cycle, it would be easy for the ecology to collapse, and the loss would outweigh the gain.

But now with the saplings of the ancient tree of life, Locke realized that the capacity of his forest had increased by at least two times and would continue to increase in the future.

That means that he can continuously move new rings of magic plants into this forest sanctuary.

Locke pulled a magic book from his astral ring. To improve the Forest Sanctuary and Dean Levis’s vision of a forest alliance, Locke had borrowed a lot of material for his daily reading. “The moment a wizard reaches the second ring, their soul’s limits are breached once again. Thus, through the increase in external magic pressure, combined with the increase in their own magic pressure, their permanent defense field can also be passively enhanced.”

“But I’m different. A large part of my permanent defense field isn’t in the magic pressure structure of my soul, but in the Forest Sanctuary. Therefore, after I become a second-ring wizard, I actually need the Forest Sanctuary to grow simultaneously. But this isn’t a problem. In this world, there are both first-ring and second-ring magic plants.”

“Moreover, the Ancient Tree of Life is actually a seedling of a three-ringed magical plant. It’s just that I don’t have the resources and magical power to help it become a three-ringed magical plant.”

“Theoretically, the total amount of magic pressure in my Forest Sanctuary will always be dozens of times higher than mine, giving me a huge advantage.”

Locke said, “I’m afraid that the original information about Dean Levis’s Forest Sanctuary all came from research on the power of Mist, or even… from Mrs. Mist’s manuscripts. I’m really getting more and more curious about the ending of such a powerful witch. Why, I’ve read all the information, but I can’t find Mrs. Mist’s ending.”

“Is she still alive?”

Although Mrs. Mist is just an ancient person, she should have been dead for a long time as far as anyone can tell.

But Locke couldn’t help but think that if she was still alive now… then her existence was far beyond the ability of a fourth-ring wizard to explain.

Locke engraved the magic rune array of the oak belt and oak crown on the surface of the winter and summer giant tree, and then he carved the last stroke.

There was a click.

The golden grafting knife from the ancient relics of the Golden Dynasty suddenly broke.

Locke looked at the broken knife in his hand and sighed slightly. The moment he engraved it, he immediately realized that something was wrong. As his forest sanctuary became stronger and he engraved too many permanent defense force fields, it became more and more difficult for him to engrave.

This is probably because the entire forest sanctuary is his permanent defensive force field, and as it becomes stronger, the difficulty of engraving it will naturally increase.

Each rune he had just engraved was equivalent to carrying a powerful magical pressure. All that magical pressure was pressed on the grafting knife, and this ancient relic could no longer hold on and broke directly.

I was also hoping for luck, so I used my magic pressure to hold it up while continuing to use it. Who knew that when I was completing the last stroke, the grafting knife would break.

Locke continued to engrave with the broken knife and modified the last rune to prevent any engraving errors on the last rune due to sudden breakage.

As he continued to engrave, the grafting knife finally couldn’t hold its weight anymore and suddenly shattered.

Locke sighed softly as he looked at the damaged gift Harlan Vera had given him. “It can’t be helped. If I want to engrave runes in the Forest Sanctuary again, I’ll need to buy better equipment.”

“Also, the number of magical plants in my forest sanctuary can be doubled.”

“Even if all of it were made from Beechwood… it would still be a huge sum of money, at least 400,000 magic stones, or even more.”

Beechwood is the most suitable filler because other special first-ring magic plants, especially those that tend to fight or defend, are not as effective as Beechwood in making the forest stronger.

Combat-type one-ring magical trees, or one-ring magical trees with special functions, are like the fangs of a poisonous snake or the claws of a tiger, while pure one-ring magical trees such as the water beech are like the poisonous snakes and tigers themselves.

That’s the most suitable magical plant to form the power of the forest itself!
“Another sum of money. The Forest Sanctuary is really too expensive. I hope my Hydra and Pentadra will sell well on September 1st, otherwise I will really be poor. I finally understand the pain of the Griffin wizard… the pain of poverty.” Locke thought with a headache, “But, the oak belt and oak crown…”

“I’m done. Now, let’s try it out and use the three permanent defense spells of Life Reload at the same time!”
