Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 820

Chapter 817: Completion of the Shared Imaginary Root!

A Jaeger Dream Flower fell from mid-air, causing the entire River Styx to churn as if a hurricane had swept through. Numerous Yaksha demons fled for their lives; were it not for their unique life structures, they might have been shattered under the pressure of this second-ring demonic plant

. The Jaeger Dream Flower landed on the surface of the River Styx, and instantly, a large amount of underworld water surged into the flower’s roots and leaves, attempting to engulf it.

However, the Imaginary Root of the Jaeger Dream Flower covered the river surface like a broom. The Imaginary Root not only allows entry into the Imaginary Sea, but it is itself a specialized plant root capable of surviving high-energy-density environments.

The River Styx at this moment was such a special environment.

Normal demonic plant roots could not survive in the River Styx, and demonic plants without Imaginary Roots could not grow there at all.

Locke had already established a magical bond with the Dream Flower, so he chanted a spell, casting the [Ephemeral Dream] spell on the magical plant.

Locke’s magic seemed to descend with dazzling dream light, and then the fragrance of the Jaeger Dream Flower, so strong it was visible to the n*ked eye, drifted towards a certain location in the River Styx.

At that moment, a huge whirlpool appeared in that section of the River Styx.

Locke, standing in mid-air, saw a section of the Netherworld Iron Tree and the Time-Shadow Fern emerge from the whirlpool. Under Locke’s control, the fragrance transformed into a rope and headed towards the Netherworld Iron Tree.

The fragrance seemed to crash directly into a cold stone wall, shattering instantly without any reaction.

Locke wasn’t too surprised by this. He controlled the fragrance to transform into a rope and loop it around the Time-Shadow Fern above the Netherworld Iron Tree. The fragrant rope wrapped around the Time-Shadow Fern, and then, as if water and milk were blending together, power converged and completely merged.

This was because both of them already had a magical bond with him.

As the Shadow Fern was pulled into the dream space of the Jaeger’s Dream Flower, it was as if the Land of All Spirits was also pulled in. And as the Land of All Spirits was pulled in, Locke used it as a medium, like a fishing line, to fish out a portion of the power of the Underworld Iron Tree.

At this moment, the Land of All Spirits was slightly stretched, as if an object was bearing excessive pressure and thus began to deform.

But he had succeeded.

Locke looked at the Land of All Spirits and the Super Jaeger’s Dream Flower, now stretched to their limits and somewhat deformed.

“Success! This way I can directly fish out the power of the Underworld Ancient Tree.”

Locke changed into the Great Bloodwave Pineapple Wizard Shoes, manipulating the pink fragrance of the Ephemeral Dream Flower, directing it towards the wizard shoes beneath his feet.

Success or failure hinged on this moment.

Locke concentrated all his attention, not knowing what would happen next.

‘Bang!’

After Locke connected his pineapple wizard shoes to the Ephemeral Dream Flower, he plummeted downwards.

“Huh? Is this the pressure from the Netherworld Iron Tree?”

Locke realized that the immense downward pressure from the Netherworld Iron Tree was being connected to his second-circle wizard shoes via the slightly deformed fishing line of the Land of All Spirits—the Super Jaeger’s Dream Flower.

Locke realized that the Netherworld Iron Tree wasn’t actually planted in the River Styx; rather, it seemed intent on sinking. The

River Styx, with its ability to allow consciousness to drift, naturally caused objects submerged within it to float upwards. The combined forces of these two forces kept the Netherworld Iron Tree at a certain height.

Based on this, the Netherworld Iron Tree shouldn’t have sunk to the bottom yet, but rather floated in the middle of the River Styx, drifting with the current.

The River Styx was supporting its downward trajectory.

Locke realized that he was currently connected to it via the fishing line of the dream space, and was naturally being dragged down.

He almost fell into the River Styx.

Locke’s permanent defensive force field clashed violently with the River Styx, causing a forest to collide with the river. But the next moment, Locke stopped his descent.

Locke had used something to support the Super Jaeger Dream Flower!

The Botanical Root Realm of Yunze Wetland!

For some reason, after entering the Underworld from the Rose Council, he could still use the Root Realm, but only after leaving Yunze Wetland and entering the Southeastern Region could he no longer use it.

Previously, he thought that the Botanical Root Realm of Yunze Wetland might only be usable within Yunze Wetland, but now it seemed that his inability to use it in the Southeastern Region was likely due to some kind of agreement.

In short, Locke realized that the Botanical Root Realm of Yunze Wetland was passing through his clone and onto his magic.

As long as he had a body in Yunze Wetland, he could use the Botanical Root Realm of Yunze Wetland in the Underworld.

The Root Realm, naturally situated in the air, possesses a natural height. By using the botanical Root Realm to support the Dream Flower, it’s as if driving a nail into the Super Jaeger Dream Flower, preventing it from sinking further.

The pressure is entirely borne by the Root Realm.

At this moment, Locke feels as light as a swallow, his wizard shoes resting on the River Styx, showing no sign of sinking.

“Finally, the connection is successful.”

Locke looked at his wizard shoes. “By using dreams and taking advantage of the fact that the consciousness of the underworld is greater than the soul, we can use the grafting method. It’s just that the current progress is insufficient.”

Locke looked at the Super Jaeger Dream Flower. “I still need an enchanted spell model from Carter Dunn – ‘Forgetful of Home.’ Once he can develop it successfully, I can use the Super Jaeger Dream Flower for grafting.”

“Although I haven’t found a way to completely solve the problem and reduce the cost of the imaginary root yet, it’s enough for commercial development.”

Locke glanced at the River Styx and found many second-circle magical plants floating on it. This meant that magical plants could grow in the River Styx without interference, so he could directly place the Super Jaeger Dream Flower in it.

The underworld is vast, and generally, it’s difficult for wizards to come here.

Underworld creatures wouldn’t bother with an ordinary second-circle magical plant floating on the river.

Of course, to be on the safe side, Locke cast a [Fleeting Dream] spell on the Super Jaeger plant. A dense cloud of pinkish-white rose fragrance, like a sea mist, enveloped the river’s surface. Any life that approached this mist, even a demon, would be sucked into the dream space and turned into fertilizer.

“Safety is simple,”

Locke mused.

“I now have complete experience in cultivating Super Jaeger Dream Flowers. With more time, equipment, and money, I can cultivate several more Super Jaeger Dream Flowers.”

“If I use the second-ring version of the ‘Twin Branches’ technique, ‘Intertwined Branches,’ to connect the spirituality of these magical plants and share their dream space data, I can make multiple backups. Even if one is destroyed, I still have the rest, so there won’t be a problem.”

Locke pondered the security issue.

“Moreover, one Super Jaeger Dream Flower is indeed not safe enough. The Netherworld Iron Tree is constantly sinking downwards, incredibly heavy. If it weren’t for the Styx River providing a lot of buoyancy and bearing most of the weight, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to resist the downward pull.”

Locke felt that his actions had broken the balance between the Netherworld Iron Tree and the Styx River, causing the Netherworld Iron Tree to rise slightly, though not by much.

Only about 1mm.

Compared to the enormous Netherworld Iron Tree, it seemed insignificant.

“But if I connect a few more Super Jaegers, wouldn’t that allow the Netherworld Iron Tree to rise a bit more?”

Locke pondered. “Of course, even if I connect a hundred now, it will only raise the Netherworld Iron Tree by one decimeter. My ‘Twin Branches’ technique probably can’t achieve that; at most, it can connect a few Super Jaegers, and I’d have to come and maintain it every six months.”

Locke glanced at the second-ring magical plants on the surface of the River Styx. These were all wild magical plants, but most of them were recorded. He searched them to see if they could be of any use to him.

“I should return to the Wizarding World first,”

Locke thought. “The River Styx is still quite dangerous. Wizards are different from magical plants; the River Styx poses a greater threat to beings with advanced intelligence.”

Locke chanted a spell, and a gate to the Netherworld opened.

He stepped out, leaving the Netherworld and returning to the mortal world.

…

Three days later, Locke returned the rented magic field to Wizard Carter’s dormitory.

At this time, Locke received an enchanted spell scroll from Wizard Carter.

Locke examined it, though he didn’t quite understand it himself. He only knew it was a special spell scroll that sealed enchantments; once torn, it could be used to cast an enchantment on a target.

The enchanter had already cast the spell beforehand and sealed it within this enchantment scroll, making it easy to cast.

Locke said, “Not bad, your efficiency is quite high.”

Wizard Carter’s eyes sparkled.

“I was just stuck on breeding for a long time, but in the field of enchanting, I had already planned it out and was very confident.”

Locke looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“Then you should become an enchanter, not a breeder.”

“Besides, your Dream Flower’s breeding aspect is only so-so, while the enchanting aspect is where it shines.”

Wizard Carter said awkwardly, “Haha, the breeding aspect was revised by the witch Olivia. The original was even worse, while the enchanting aspect was my idea.”

“But… Lord Augustine, to be honest, the best wizarding university in the Rose Council region is the Rose Council itself, and the best magical disciplines in the Rose Council are breeder, flower language master, and magic weaver, so I majored in breeder.”

“But actually, before becoming a liquefying wizard, I majored in enchanter.”

“It’s just that in the Rose Council, breeders have a higher status, receive more resources, and have better treatment, so I… I came here.”

Locke gave him a deep look but didn’t say anything more.

After all, he was just a patron.

Locke handed him a business card, saying, “Your enchanting skills are quite good. If you can’t make it at the Breeding Academy here at the Rose Council, my shop alliance needs an enchanter.”

Wizard Carter took the business card and looked at the platinum-gold card Scarlett had customized for Locke.

“Augustus Wizard Shoes…”

“Never heard of them, oh, no. I’m sorry, Lord Locke, I mean, I’m not very knowledgeable, so I haven’t heard of them.”

Locke didn’t mind; his wizard shoes would soon truly gain fame and no longer be niche.

Locke chanted a spell, summoning the Gate of the Underworld again.

He stepped through the Gate of the Underworld and entered the River Styx once more.

Locke stood on the River Styx, tore apart the enchanting spell scroll in his hand, and the magic within the scroll fell into the Super Jaeger Dream Flower.

A phantom enchanted knife appeared, its spirit etched on the Dream Flower with silver hooks and iron strokes, engraving inscriptions.

“Although the time was a bit rushed, the craftsmanship is indeed excellent.”

Locke nodded.

At this moment, a silver pen pattern appeared on the petals of the Super Jaeger Dream Flower.

“That’s the completion mark for the Enchantment Spell Model – Forgetful of Home.”

Locke’s eyes lit up.

Although Forgetful of Home was only a crystallization-level spell, that is, a first-circle spell model, it required the enchantment content to be designed in advance, so it was still quite difficult.

Unexpectedly, that guy Carter was able to complete this spell in only a week and a half.

His breeding science was only average, but his enchanting science was indeed quite good.

He was a talent.

It’s just that the other party seemed to be obsessed with becoming a breeder, and he had no right to interfere.

Locke used the “Lone Tree Cannot Support” technique to activate the Super Jaeger Dream Flower, and instantly he seemed to have entered a pure silver infinite space.

This was a dream space that Carter had designed in advance.

In this pure silver infinite space, pure silver roses fell from the sky, which was extremely beautiful and shocking.

Locke didn’t care about this. He looked at a Time Shadow Fern and two Blood Wave Pineapple Wizard Shoes in this space.

He still had two doses of Zero Potion left unused, so he used one to evolve a Great Bloodwave Pineapple Wizard Shoe.

He used Recall of History to summon the Crimson Deeper Garden, then quickly intercepted some river water, and finally severed the spell model before the fallen angel could reach him.

At this moment, Locke took out his second-ring magic artifact and made grafting joints on the three magic plants. He then spent another hour grafting the Shadow Fern onto one of the Great Bloodwave Pineapple Wizard Shoes.

After completing that, he spent time again grafting the Shadow Fern onto another Great Bloodwave Pineapple Wizard Shoe.

“As expected, my guess was right.”

“In this dream space, no matter how many times I use the grafting method, because I’m in a dream, I can refresh and graft again.”

Locke said, “In the dream, I can use countless magical plants and this Time Shadow Fern to complete the grafting, indirectly drawing power from the Netherworld Ancient Tree.”

“It’s like being able to simulate grafting countless times.”

“I can use one Time Shadow Fern to graft countless magical plants. That day, I made a decisive move, giving it my all, to take advantage of that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to graft the Time Shadow Fern onto the Netherworld Iron Tree, and now it seems like the right thing to do.”

At this moment, Locke left the dream space and returned to the real world.

In the laboratory, Wizard Carter looked at Locke’s return, somewhat puzzled, and asked Locke,

“Sir, how did it go?”

“This is… Sir, your wizard shoes are very unique.”

Locke’s Blood Wave Pineapple Wizard Shoes had turned completely red, and with the support of the Netherworld Ancient Tree’s power, something Locke hadn’t expected had occurred.

The Bloodwave Pineapple Wizard Shoes, which had absorbed the power of the Underworld Iron Tree, had surprisingly received a power boost, gaining at least a thousand magic pressure out of thin air.

This meant that all of his wizard shoes could gain a thousand magic pressure boosts out of thin air in the future.

This was incredibly good news for Locke, who was currently trying to catch up with the Wizard Shoes of Solas’s Lightfoot and Melochy’s Magic Step.

‘What exactly is the Underworld Iron Tree? Just catching a little bit of it can enhance my magical plants like this.’

Locke used a grafting knife to remove the imaginary roots of the two pineapple wizard shoes from his feet.

Wizard Carter was shocked. ‘My lord? Why are you destroying such good wizard shoes?’

Locke said, ‘Because I don’t need them anymore.’

Locke waited a while and found that the magic pressure of these wizard shoes had only dropped by 1,000 out of thin air, but was still maintained at the level of 10,000 magic pressure.

In other words, the Netherworld Iron Tree can support 1000 magic pressure on a wizard’s shoes with its own imaginary root out of thin air, but it can indeed maintain a pair of wizard’s shoes without an imaginary root at the second ring level by sharing the imaginary root.

At this moment, Locke closed his eyes. This pineapple, in the dream space of the Super Jaeger’s Dream Flower, was actually attached to that Time-Shadow Fern.

Therefore, the wizard wearing these wizard’s shoes was essentially hanging upside down on that Netherworld Iron Tree.

However, this wasn’t a big problem.

With just a little enchanting magic, he could isolate the wizard wearing the wizard’s shoes from the power and aura of the Netherworld Iron Tree. Furthermore, the Netherworld Iron Tree itself was a magical plant with little power attribute, making it difficult for anyone to detect anything unusual.

Wizard Carter looked puzzled. “Huh? Without an imaginary root, how can it still be a second-circle magical plant? Why is that?”

Locke said to Carter, “Wizard Carter, I have to thank you for this. You helped me do this.”

Wizard Carter looked even more confused.

“My lord, I?”
