Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 843

Chapter 840 The Relationship Between Wildness and Special Imaginary Number Roots!

“Hmm? One Zero Potion isn’t enough?”

Locke was slightly surprised. He directly used the Lunar Cultivation Method to inject a second stream of moonlight, while two enchanted blades, one silver and one gold, continued to rotate around the magical plant to fine-tune its ancestral factors.

As the second Zero Potion entered the magical plant, Locke could sense a blank spirituality automatically filling its missing plant essence, like a broken porcelain bowl being supplemented with other materials, ensuring the magical plant’s survival.

However, as time passed, two Zero Potions were still insufficient to support the magical plant. Locke could only frown and add a third Zero Potion.

At the same time, he sensed something, cut a golden peach tree imaginary root, and grafted it onto the unknown magical plant using the Grafting Cultivation Method.

An ancient aura, seemingly from the primordial wilderness, rose.

Locke even discovered that the imaginary root grafted onto this unknown magical plant had undergone a special change, seemingly transforming into some kind of unique imaginary root.

Despite injecting three doses of Zero Magic Potion, the sheer amount of energy required to induce this mutation, along with the corresponding loss of plant essence, meant that three doses were still insufficient.

Locke was somewhat surprised; normally, evolving a second-ring magical plant only required one dose of Zero Magic Potion, but this second-ring plant required so many.

This indicated that the ancestor of the Sea Gold Sand was extremely extraordinary, not only a second-ring magical plant but also something quite unique.

Locke had a total of eight doses of Zero Magic Potion. Five doses were allocated to a pair of Great Bloodwave Pineapple Wizard Shoes, a second-ring Sea Gold Sand, and a Great Glazed Winter Green Plum; one dose was used on the Super Jaeger Dream Flower;

and the remaining half was needed to maintain the treants within his Moon Realm.

If this was extracted, his ecosystem would collapse significantly, so it couldn’t be touched.

At this moment, in order to demonstrate his atavism to the two Star Ring and Moon Ring wizards from Little Rest Mountain, he pondered for a moment. The only thing he could actually do was use the two Bloodwave Pineapple Wizard Shoes.

Because of the Super Jaeger Dream Flower, only one Bloodwave Pineapple, located between the second and first rings, needed to be grafted onto the Shadow Fern using the approach grafting method, which would barely amount to a pair of second-ring wizard shoes.

Therefore, he had already obtained a large number of fertile seeds from these two magical plants through the cultivation method of downgrading breeding,

consuming a certain amount of resources.

Therefore, whether or not to keep these two second-ring magical plant wizard shoes was not a big deal.

Locke directly extracted two portions of the Zero Potion and injected them into this unknown magical plant. In front of the three of them, this magical plant emitted an ancient aura.

Locke saw that the imaginary root had clearly become a special imaginary root, covered with scales that looked like the scales of a giant dragon. It formed a pair of dragon claws with the aerial roots of this fern magical plant.

Two imaginary roots transformed into one claw of the dragon, while six aerial roots became the remaining three claws.

Simultaneously, the entire magical plant resembled a long, divine dragon; its leafless climbing stems of ferns became incredibly thick, and two tendrils appeared at the tips, like dragon horns, with fern leaves only on the tendrils.

The overall shape resembled a pale green dragon, with the plant roots as claws, the leafless climbing stems of n*ked ferns as the body, and the tendrils as horns.

What caught the three’s attention was that when the magical plant’s special imaginary roots were inserted into the Imaginary Sea, a faint but undeniably present energy was extracted from it.

Locke’s spirits jolted, for he had sensed this strange energy before.

This wasn’t the first time he had seen it.

The first time was in the Forbidden Forest, witnessing the Talking Treant fight Jugglus Juggler; the Talking Treant possessed that special energy.

Later, he had used archaeological magic to summon it with that special energy and simulated it using a negative energy particle field, but this didn’t truly constitute possessing that strange energy.

Despite this, he had still managed to stump a large group of second-circle wizard breeders at the Rose Academy with this power.

And now, he finally understood how this energy came about.

The [Wild Energy Surge] energy was actually a special kind of spiritual energy!

Locke instantly understood what had happened.

‘I used Atavism and unintentionally obtained an ancient magical plant. This plant is a n*ked fern, which is an extremely ancient magical plant, usually found as a specimen in botany. Or perhaps on the land of an early, emerging colony.’

“I had thought about developing ancient magical plants before, but unexpectedly, in the process of forging a great magic, I actually managed to revive an ancient plant. Of course, this magical plant shouldn’t be a true ancient magical plant; it’s just that I’ve revived some key plant factor of an ancient magical plant.” “

But this means that if I can use archaeological models to excavate the prototype of an ancient plant, and combine it with my Atavism cultivation method, I can further improve the accuracy of Atavism.” “

Although Atavism isn’t a unique research direction, not many people walk this path.”

Locke understood what this strange energy, [Wild Energy Surge], really was.

So it turns out it’s a special imaginary root plus fishing for the imaginary sea, which yields strange energy.

It seems there are many special imaginary roots in the Forbidden Forest.

And the Wizarding Land at the Ends of the Earth probably also has many special imaginary roots, as it’s famous for its abundance of strange energy.

Locke pondered deeply.

‘I tried to find information about these strange energies before, but I couldn’t find anything. I never expected to find the answer myself now.’

Although Locke was shocked, his expression remained calm, as if everything was under his control.

Moreover, this investigation into the ancestral evolution of the Sea Gold Sands wasn’t actually very good.

If he had enough resources to create a project, he could probably make the ancestral evolution more thorough.

‘Teacher Sophia, thank you so much. This project you gave me is a powerful tool.’

Locke finally understood why the witch Sophia advanced so quickly.

This project she specifically gave him had benefited him immensely.

He didn’t even know what tricks he could play with ancestral evolution in the future.

Although it would require considerable resources,

upon reflection, the Lesser Emerald Potion recipe given to him by the Witch Sophia had greatly inspired him in potion-making.

A teacher’s brilliant ideas could often open up new possibilities and bring substantial subsequent benefits.

At this moment, the wizard Maupassant looked at the regressed Lygodium japonicum plant.

“I’ve only seen specimens before, but this does indeed resemble the Pteris vittata. All known Pteris vittata are specimens.”

Locke looked at Maupassant with surprise and asked, “Don’t they exist in the colonized worlds? The early, emerging colonized worlds should have them, right?”

Maupassant smiled at Locke; in his eyes, Locke was now a complete and utter breeding genius.

Seeing is believing.

Maupassant the wizard said, “Nyctises currently only appear in the wizarding world. These magical plants once created many unique energies and substances for the wizarding world. However, due to the passage of time and environmental changes, the nyctises collectively perished, and now only specimens can be seen.” “

There are relatively few complete specimens of nyctises, only some scattered ones,”

Maupassant continued. “This should be the legendary ‘Over-the-Mountain Dragon n*ked Fern.’ I never imagined that such an ordinary magical plant as *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* could support the ‘Over-the-Mountain Dragon n*ked Fern.’ Wait, some people have indeed suspected that the ‘Over-the-Mountain Dragon n*ked Fern’ is a kind of golden magical plant. If that’s the case, then the ancient *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* might indeed have an evolutionary relationship with the ‘Over-the-Mountain Dragon n*ked Fern’!”

“Why didn’t I think of that when I was young?”

“Congratulations, Locke, you can almost publish another article in a second-circle, second-district journal.”

“It’s a pity that the Mountain Dragon n*ked Fern isn’t as important as Golden Wheat, so it’s hard to get it into Zone 1.”

Locke looked at Maupassant with surprise, then suddenly realized that Maupassant was communicating with him through a video call, and could only see with his n*ked eye. His senses were limited, so he hadn’t noticed the existence of the strange energy.

If he had noticed it, he wouldn’t have thought that this accidental discovery would only get him into Zone 2.

This accidental discovery, like finding a treasure, was actually easier to get into Zone 1 of the second ring than Golden Wheat.

Because he discovered the [Wild Surge] energy and found its origin.

The Mountain Dragon n*ked Fern certainly created many unique energies for the wizarding world, such as this special spiritual energy fished from the Imaginary Number Sea—Wild Surge.

And so on.

Locke pondered, once the entire wizarding world was full of n*ked Ferns. If there were many Mountain Dragon n*ked Ferns back then, could it mean that Wild Surge was once as ubiquitous as air throughout the entire wizarding world?

But the Wild Surge disrupts the stability of spell models, which means the wizarding world at that time was completely unsuitable for the development of magical civilization, or even any effective civilization?

What kind of world would the Wild Surge, which enveloped the entire world, create?

Locke didn’t stop at his current discovery; instead, he continued to think deeper, hypothesizing what would happen if the entire world were filled with the Wild Surge.

‘Precision, energy systems that can be transferred to others would be destroyed and could not be invented in the ancient times when the Wild Surge’s energy permeated the land. And since the Wild Surge can enhance individual strength, would a large number of super-individuals rely on their own strength?’

‘These super-individuals enhance their strength through instinct, but cannot pass it down, or communicate with each other? The entire world exists in the ancient, barbaric era.’

Locke imagined that era; according to the naming conventions of the wizarding world, it seems that that era could be called the Ancient Era.

Does such an Ancient Era exist?

But all of this is based on the assumption that the n*ked Fern or similar magical plants once existed in large numbers in the wizarding world.

But in fact, for some unknown reason, the number of n*ked Fern specimens currently in existence is very small.

The generally accepted view in the wizarding world is that it wasn’t that n*ked ferns were once scarce, but rather that, for some reason, a certain era of wizarding civilization extensively exploited the energy derived from n*ked fern fossils, thus destroying a considerable number of n*ked fern specimens.

This prevented modern wizards from studying them.

Of course, because the current *Gymnocypris chinensis* n*ked fern is not the true *Gymnocypris chinensis* of the past, but rather a variant of *Gymnocypris chinensis* that has undergone its own atavistic evolution, Locke cannot be certain whether the true *Gymnocypris chinensis* of the past possessed the special power to fish out the Imaginary Sea and extract the strange energy [Wild Surge].

All of this could also be a new ability generated by *Gymnocypris chinensis* during its atavistic evolution.

Wizard Maupassant examined this *Gymnocypris chinensis* n*ked fern.

“No mistake, the shape is like a rock dragon, elegant and majestic, with leafless climbing stems that are no longer seen in modern magical plants, as well as these aerial roots and rhizomes, and these imaginary roots covered with scales. This seems to be an early imaginary root, doesn’t it?”

“My God, this really is an ancient plant.”

“Hmm? No, it should be described as a modern magical plant with an ancient botanical style.”

Locke nodded slightly.

This was merely a reversion to the ancestral evolution of the Sea Gold Sand, not a direct transformation of a Sea Gold Sand into a true n*ked Fern.

Therefore, it was still essentially a modern magical plant, as n*ked Ferns don’t have true roots, while this mutated Sea Gold Sand possessed them.

Maupassant’s eyes flickered. He hadn’t expected Locke to not only revert to the Golden Foxtail Grass, but to establish a complete and sophisticated reversion evolution mechanism.

He had even directly reverted to a direct ancestor of the Sea Gold Sand right before his eyes, proving the evolutionary relationship between the Sea Gold Sand and the n*ked Fern.

He thought even more deeply; with such abilities, Locke could easily rake in huge sums just by proving the evolutionary relationships between some magical plants and early magical plants.

Maupassant sighed inwardly.

Golden Crown Mountain possessed such talent, while his Little Rest Mountain lacked such a second-ring wizard.

Golden Crown Mountain is teeming with talent. One Zeno Breeder isn’t enough; now, even at the ordinary second-ring wizard stage, there’s Locke Augustine.

Is Golden Crown Mountain going to monopolize all the benefits in the world?

However, Wizard Maupassant’s mood quickly brightened.

Not all the benefits are going to Golden Crown Mountain.

Because Locke is going to participate in the Lesser Rest Cup.

He must immediately bind Locke to the Lesser Rest Cup chariot!

Wizard Maupassant looked at Locke, and under the surprised gaze of Wizard Nickrus, said, “Alright. We will list your Golden Ear Wheat as the champion of the fifth Lesser Rest Cup ahead of schedule. As a champion’s reward, you will receive the right to soak in the Spring of Life once, or exchange it for the corresponding Life Essence for soaking in the Spring of Life once.”

“It’s up to you, Locke.”

“Our dear champion of the fifth Lesser Rest Cup.”

Wizard Nickrus blinked, because Wizard Maupassant had previously told him that they couldn’t break the rules of the Lesser Rest Cup for the sake of a few geniuses, lest outsiders laugh at their Lesser Rest Mountain for lacking foundation and forcibly giving away any genius they encountered.

As it turned out, Director Maupassant had directly agreed to award the Little Breath Cup championship to Locke six months ahead of schedule.

He blinked, looking at the n*ked Fern of the Mountain Dragon with surprise again.

Locke’s second reversion to a magical plant was quite miraculous in their eyes…

It seemed the director was betting that Locke would soon rise to fame at the ordinary second-ring wizard stage, just as he had at the crystallized wizard stage.

Locke said to Director Maupassant, “Thank you for your leniency, Director Maupassant.”

Wizard Maupassant gave a joyful smile.

“So what do you want?”

Locke said, “I want the Life Essence.”

Director Maupassant said, “Alright. I will send someone to deliver the Life Essence to you as soon as possible. Remember, it is a very high-level essence, so be very careful to preserve it, and try not to show it to others. The Life Essence has a fatal attraction for every breeder.”

“Don’t flaunt your wealth.”

Locke nodded.

He remembered that the Life Essence was one of the best cultivation resources for the Ancient Tree of Life.

That’s why he wanted the Life Essence.

I’ve heard that soaking in the Fountain of Life only heals all of a wizard’s hidden injuries, but I don’t need it right now.

Of course, for many wizards who do need it, it’s an effect that’s highly sought after.

Wizard Maupassant said to Locke, “Then please submit your project entry application as soon as possible. We will approve it immediately, announce the winner, and award you a medal and prize. Also, our competition doesn’t prohibit submitting articles; you can write related articles and submit them to journals.” “

Locke, our fifth Little Breath Cup champion, it was a pleasure talking with you today.”

Locke bowed to the Moon Ring Wizard and nodded to Wizard Nickrus. Then Wizard Maupassant, Nickrus, and Locke greeted each other before ending the video call.

Locke looked at the mutated sea gold sand before him, and only then did the calm expression on his face disappear, replaced by surprise.

“I never imagined Haijinsha’s ancestors were so wealthy; this plant is actually a second-ring demonic plant.”

“A n*ked fern.”

“My apologies, my apologies.”

Locke noticed that the edges of the leaves of this Mountain Dragon n*ked Fern were beginning to curl, and the edges of its roots were turning slightly black.

“Can’t Mountain Dragon n*ked Ferns survive in this era?”

“But this isn’t a real Mountain Dragon n*ked Fern.”

Locke observed the dimensional power and discovered that some special dimensional power was harming this demonic plant, but these dimensional powers were too chaotic for him to identify immediately.

However, the Mountain Dragon n*ked Fern itself, through its special dragon scales, fished out Wild Surge Spiritual Breath and applied it to its body, which seemed to shield it from that special dimensional power.

Locke pondered, “It’s probably not a single dimensional force harming the n*ked Fern, but rather a combination of multiple dimensional forces. To put it bluntly, the Wizarding World doesn’t want this fern to reappear on a large scale, so this magical plant can’t possibly exist and reproduce in the wild without being confined to the laboratory.” Too

many of these magical plants would easily cause the Wizarding World to be filled with surging wild energy again.

And the Wizarding World clearly doesn’t need that anymore.

Like a scumbag, the n*ked Fern might have been a beloved magical plant, but now it’s discarded like trash.

The influence of spiritual energy on the world is stronger than he imagined.

This discovery he made today has made him realize that spiritual energy has influenced the world’s evolution and development, and still does.

No wonder breeders were able to find the path to second-circle breeding by studying spiritual energy.

Locke tidied up the entire laboratory. The negotiations with Little Rest Mountain were very successful; he had essentially won the Little Rest Cup.

And he had also unexpectedly made a new discovery.

He placed the *Gymnocypris chinensis* in his demiplane and found that it was fine, no longer slowly withering.

This indicated that the demiplane did not possess the dimensional power to cause the mass extinction of physalis ferns.

He then tidied himself up and contacted the witch Mason to handle the aftermath.

Mason the Witch said to Locke, “Team Leader Locke, the Dragonblood Society’s Social Club is extending a special invitation to you. We are Dragonblood Wizards, and you are a highly trusted student of Professor Ekaterina, as well as a genius from Golden Crown Mountain. The club highly values your arrival.”

“The time is the day after tomorrow, and the location is…”

Locke nodded and said, “Yes, I understand.”

“By the way, Mason, do you know where Douglas is now? I need to talk to him about something.”

Mason the Witch gave a strange look; she didn’t know why Locke wanted to see such a minor crystallization wizard.

She shrugged at Locke and said, “I don’t know either, Team Leader.”

“That guy kept asking me about you a while ago. But you were so busy, so I just gave him perfunctory answers. Later, he went to curry favor with another wizard.”

Locke asked suspiciously, “Who?”

Mason the Witch said, “It seems to be called something like Brandy Wizard.”

Locke frowned.

Why would that Douglas guy bother with Brandy Wizard?

Is that someone he can afford to mess with?

That bastard is very cunning.

He’d only met him once before, and yet the man had spread rumors that he had no feelings for Douglas, making Antoine half-believing, half-doubting.

Locke said to the witch Mason, “Mason, do me a favor. Go to Group Three and call Douglas back.”

He’d been entrusted by his teacher to monitor this guy and investigate the ancient soul’s identity within him.

Moreover, Locke had considered an even worse scenario.

‘That guy Brandy probably wouldn’t do anything without some benefit. Under normal circumstances, Douglas shouldn’t be able to curry favor with him. So, there’s only one possibility for him keeping Douglas by his side.’ ‘

This guy has also noticed the problem with Douglas. That’s normal, after all, he’s a second-ring wizard. He can see dimensional power directly with his n*ked eye. Douglas, an ordinary first-ring wizard, doesn’t have that kind of insight; even with the help of an ancient soul, he’d probably be seen through at a glance.’

High-ring wizards possess a perspective that absolutely crushes low-ring wizards; it’s not just about experience, knowledge, and wisdom, but also the means of perceiving the world.

A second-ring wizard can directly observe dimensional power with the n*ked eye.

They could easily detect the ancient soul within him through anomalies in dimensional power.

Locke’s expression changed slightly, because given the Brandy Wizard’s personality, he might have some ulterior motive towards Douglas, and his teacher wanted him to investigate the ancient soul’s identity without revealing his own.

If the Brandy Wizard acted rashly and killed the ancient soul, or allowed it to escape, it would be disastrous.

Locke said, “Forget it, I’ll go to Group Three myself.”
