Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 727

Chapter 724 Manipulating Arrows in the Sea of Golden Sands!

A beam of blue-silver moonlight, under the influence of the Peach Blossom Thorn Arrow spell model, transformed into a powerful moonbeam cannon, injecting into the ten Sea Gold Sand plants in front of Locke. Instantly, a large amount of lunar essence converged into these ten Sea Gold Sand plants, activating their [Plane Information Reverse Infusion] state.

In this state, due to Locke’s deliberate bias, the reverse infusion primarily consisted of plane information from the Fallen Rain Realm—

that is, the power information of the Fallen Water God, Omega.

The ten Sea Gold Sand plants underwent rapid evolution in an instant. The steps that would normally take ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand…fifty thousand years to evolve were all concentrated in this instant, emerging from these Sea Gold Sand plants in less than a minute.

Therefore, Locke called this unusual evolution method the [Suspension Evolution Mode].

It is a special evolution mode that can only occur within a very short time, achieved through the lunar cultivation method centered on the Evolutionary Moon.

This is a special breeding magic that Locke developed by balancing the principle of minimal intervention with the pursuit of efficiency. It represents Locke’s understanding of magic in the past, his current level, and his expectations for the future.

The Leap Evolution Mode is a collective evolutionary process undertaken by magical plants in a short period of time under the influence of the Evolution Moon in their natural environment, in response to external threats or the need to make certain changes.

Currently, there are twelve considered mainstream evolutionary modes for plants in nature, one of which is the Leap Evolution Mode.

Locke’s Evolution Moon, as a powerful magic leaning towards breeding and botany, naturally draws close attention to this aspect of evolutionary knowledge.

The Leap Evolution Mode originally referred to the collective evolution of magical plants in a very short time in response to certain situations, discovered in some special planes.

However, the Leap Evolution Mode has been controversial, mainly because although its proposer is a truth-seeking wizard in botany, it is a relatively new concept.

Therefore, it remains a niche and controversial topic.

This Wizard of Truth doesn’t have enough disciples, his pie isn’t big enough, and his faction isn’t powerful enough. He’s just right, and everyone acknowledges that such an evolutionary pattern does exist in the void planes without wizard intervention or the use of magic.

However, the Leap Evolution pattern lacks high-quality evidence from cross-plane observations.

Now, after Locke designed the spell model for the massive spell [Evolution Moon], he’s even more certain that the [Leap Evolution Pattern Theory] is sound. Under

wizard intervention, a [Leap Evolution Pattern] for plants does indeed exist in a certain plane of the endless void.

‘The future Evolution Moon should focus more on evolution.’

‘Currently, the Evolution Moon is only in its unforged stage. Whether it’s energy dissipation, energy compatibility, instantaneous magic pressure multiplier, or spell structure, there’s still a lot of room for optimization.’ Locke looked at the ten Sea Gold Sand plants before him and pondered: ‘The Leap Evolution Pattern is just the first evolutionary pattern my Evolution Moon has mastered.’

‘The Moon Cultivation Method is currently only the foundation; it may not be impossible to continue deepening it.’

At this moment, three of the ten Sea Gold Sand plants in front of him suddenly exploded, turning into fragments. Locke

‘s expression remained unchanged.

After all, this was the first time he had experienced the process of evolving from a first-ring magical plant to a second-ring magical plant, and whether he could succeed was still unknown.

However, he had already simulated this process countless times on paper.

The lunar essence on the three exploded Sea Gold Sand plants quickly concentrated on the remaining seven.

At this moment, the surface of the remaining seven Sea Gold Sand plants had already undergone some changes, acquiring several different sets of plant essences—[Water Element Affinity Plant Essence], [Weak Light Conversion Plant Essence], [Rain Plane Plant Essence], [Aquatic Spore Plant Essence], etc.

This resulted in different changes in the magical plant properties of the seven Sea Gold Sand plants.

At this moment, the roots of another Sea Gold Sand plant began to rot. Within three seconds, the rot spread from the roots to the entire plant, and this Sea Gold Sand plant quickly perished, having reached a dead end in its evolutionary path. Then, the Zero Elixir within it entered the remaining six Sea Gold Sand plants.

Even with the Moon Cultivation Method, there are still limitations. Whether it was the explosion or the root tissue rotting, it all occurred during the evolutionary process, where several sets of plant essences within this Sea Gold Sand plant clashed. Once

a conflict occurs, the magical plant can only undergo irreversible death due to the incompatibility of the plant essences.

Meanwhile, a layer of water film appeared on the leaves of the fifth Sea Gold Sand plant, and its stems showed a tendency to become liquefied and hollow.

This was likely due to the water element’s affinity with the plant essence caused by the backflow of information from the Fallen Rain plane.

After all, a complete set of plant essences contains a large number of plant factors, such as leaf water film plant factors, root siphon structure plant factors…

Although all ten Sea Gold Sand plants used the Lunar Cultivation Method and underwent dimensional information inversion, the information in the Fallen Rain Realm was so vast that the inverted information of the ten Sea Gold Sand plants was not even very similar to each other.

The evolution of the Lunar Cultivation Method, in Locke’s design and previous experiments, had always been unstable, and was very different from the traditional cultivation methods used by wizards.

This was itself a characteristic of [Surging Evolution].

Or rather, as a designer, Locke was a limitation of a low-ring wizard. It was only after becoming a second-ring wizard that Locke realized the true nature of the Lunar Cultivation Method and grasped the general characteristics of the evolutionary direction of magical plants.

Otherwise, in his first-ring eyes, the evolutionary mode of the Lunar Cultivation Method was truly a completely random and accelerated state of evolution.

At this moment, the leaves and stems of the fifth Sea Gold Sand plant looked as if they had been soaked and rotten, severely swollen, and eventually completely rotted away, its entire body rapidly turning black.

Locke sighed; yet another magical plant had perished in the evolutionary process.

Evolution, after all, is a path where one’s success is built on the bones of countless others.

Especially at this crucial juncture, forced by his own Evolution Moon to evolve a first-ring magical plant into a second-ring one.

Only five Sea Gold Sands remained. Locke weighed the current consumption of Zero Magic Potions.

Thanks to the black wizard’s gift of 15,000 magic pressure mass and almost all of his total magic pressure, his quantity of Zero Magic Potions was astonishing. However, even so, about 60% of his Zero Magic Potions were currently being used for evolving into second-ring magical plants.

Conversely, the collective evolution in the mortal and magical realms, which involved ordinary plants evolving into apprentice-level magical plants, hadn’t consumed as many Zero Magic Potions.

After all, he hadn’t managed to evolve the entire group of apprentice-level magical plants into first-ring magical plants.

Locke reached out and grafted the five special roots of extra-imaginary origin obtained from the Shadow Fern onto the stem of the Sea Gold Sand using a regular grafting knife. He then used the first-circle botanical magic, [Grafting Healing], to complete the grafting spell.

Locke wasn’t too worried about this step, because the mainstream theory about the origin of the Imaginary Roots is that they come from a parasitic magical plant. After parasitizing the host magical plant, they form a symbiotic relationship with it, which leads to the possibility of a first-circle magical plant evolving into a second-circle magical plant.

The Imaginary Root itself contains some natural magical structural components, which can bypass the limitations of the magical plant’s original form and increase the success rate of grafting cultivation.

Especially since it used stem grafting, the success rate was further enhanced.

Therefore, at this step, it wouldn’t increase the mortality rate of its own Sea Gold Sand on the evolutionary path. At

this moment, the five Sea Gold Sand plants each had their own characteristics and became quite different, although their main body was still water-blue, and they all basically had hydrophilic spores.

After all, they were all using the plane information of the Fallen Rain Realm.

Less than a minute later, the sixth Sea Gold Sand plant suddenly collapsed again after combining with the Imaginary Root. Because it was a plant, Locke didn’t even have time to analyze the Imaginary Root before it withered and died along with it.

The Evolution Moon accelerated everything, both evolution and the death of magical plants.

Locke gazed at the hollow imaginary root and pondered, “It seems there’s a conflict between one set of plant essences and the original plant essence of the Sea Gold Sand, causing problems with the fluid flow in the internal vascular column.” “

The hydraulic system is malfunctioning. If it were inside the Queen’s Chessboard, we could investigate which set of plant essences is causing the conflict… though it’s unnecessary.”

This indicates that for the Sea Gold Sand, this entire evolutionary path was flawed, so there’s no need to dwell on it too much.

It’s better to focus on researching the correct evolutionary path for the Sea Gold Sand.

The Moon Cultivation Method is like randomly sowing seeds in a field; the evolutionary path that grows and possesses superior magical plant traits is what he should focus on.

Meanwhile, the remaining Sea Gold Sand plants also gradually developed problems.

Each Sea Gold Sand plant, upon death, would release its lunar essence, which would then merge into the body of the remaining plant.

In the end, nine out of ten Sea Gold Sand plants had died, leaving only one.

This Sea Gold Sand plant wasn’t without its share of plant essence conflicts, but due to its strong constitution and good fortune, it only encountered minor conflicts and managed to survive. During the backflow of dimensional information, it found crucial plant essence information that helped it overcome the crisis, allowing it to pull through.

Of course, after each Sea Gold Sand plant died, the lunar essence it expelled could be selectively imbued with a portion of dimensional information by Locke.

Locke used this method, through the Moon of Evolution, to manipulate the evolutionary path of the Sea Gold Sand plant, interfering in a limited way and increasing its chances of evolving into a second-ring magical plant. Finally

, he narrowly averted the collapse of the last Sea Gold Sand plant by adding dimensional information from the Fallen Rain Realm.

At this moment, the last Sea Gold Sand plant reached a critical point in its evolution; its surface developed water-like fluorescent veins, emitting a pale blue bioluminescence, and moon-like patterns appeared on its leaves.

Crystalline, ethereal roots were interspersed among the normal roots of this *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* plant. The spores on the triangular leaves of the *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* had mutated into water-filled vesicles, crystal clear and incomparably beautiful,

like drops of ice dew or sapphires.

Crystallization appeared on the main veins of the underside of the leaves, growing needle-like water-conducting crystals.

What was originally an ordinary *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* plant, shaped like a spiral staircase, now resembled an ice-blue, crystal crown.

This ice-crystal crown spiral staircase floated in mid-air, its magic pressure finally breaking through from 9999 to 10000!

Although it was a close breakthrough, it was indeed a breakthrough.

Although Locke had drawn back about 15% of the Zero Elixir from the Dharma Realm and the Silent Dimension at the crucial juncture of its breakthrough and infused it into this *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* plant

, this plant had ultimately completed its evolution into a second-ring magical plant.

‘The Zero Elixir, converted from the entire magic power of a black wizard with 15,000 magic pressure, was mostly used on this magical plant.’ Locke reached out, and the second-ring Sea Gold Sand plant, shaped like a spiral staircase of ice crystal crowns, floated in his palm.

“Completed. My Evolution Month!”

At the same time, Edgar, battling Omega in the sky, looked down at the second-ring Sea Gold Sand plant in Locke’s hand, a look of disbelief on his face.

“It actually evolved a first-ring magical plant into a second-ring one.”

In Edgar’s understanding, first-ring magical plants could be bred within a day using magic and equipment, but second-ring magical plants, even at their fastest, should be cultivated over several months.

The top-tier first-ring breeding equipment designed by the Root Crown Court, like the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome, could allow for rapid cultivation of first-ring magical plants, but the energy and information required for second-ring magical plants were extremely demanding.

It was already incredibly difficult for a breeder to complete the breeding of a second-ring magical plant in six months.

Therefore, the cost of second-ring magical plants was very high!

And Locke’s Evolution Month had been completed in less than an hour!

Therefore, regardless of the quality of the second-ring magical plant, Locke’s ability to evolve a magical plant in a short time, transforming a first-ring magical plant into a second-ring magical plant, is extremely terrifying!

Of course, both Edgar and Locke realized that although this Sea Gold Sand had evolved into a second-ring magical plant, its quality was essentially that of a wild second-ring magical plant, fundamentally different from the carefully selected and meticulously designed second-ring magical plants produced by wizards.

It’s like the difference between foxtail grass and millet.

But regardless, this magical plant had reached the second-ring level!

Next, as long as Locke uses his breeder’s techniques and spends time cultivating and modifying it, it can still become a true second-ring magical plant.

With just this skill, Locke is more than capable of becoming an excellent second-ring breeder in the foreseeable future!

After all, the time he spends on breeding generations will be much less than that of ordinary breeders of the same level!

Just as Edgar was deeply shocked, the wizarding audience watching the competition reacted even more strongly to Locke’s use of the Evolution Month to evolve a first-ring magical plant into a second-ring magical plant.

This was even more surprising than their previous reactions to the Reverse Refining Technique.

Since the Reverse Refining Technique didn’t demonstrate any effects, it wasn’t considered particularly astonishing by anyone except for potion masters and wizards who could discern its secrets.

Only potion masters who understood its intricacies could realize that Locke was an excellent potion master, and that Locke’s act of creating a second-ring Sea Gold Sand plant in such a short time was a demonstration of his talent as a breeder to all the wizards of Yunze Wetland!
