Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 75 Three-Step Tower Cultivation

"Come with me, I'll tell you what to do." The friendly guardian led Fang Yu into the Three-Step Tower.

Fang Yu followed him inside, and there appeared a long passage with a metallic sheen.

I don't know how many minutes I've walked along this passage, but I still haven't reached my destination.

Logically speaking, at their pace, they should have made several trips back and forth between the front gate and the back gate of the Three-Step Pagoda.

however…

This straight passage seems to have no end.

See this.

Fang Yu was filled with many emotions.

The Three-Step Tower truly lives up to its reputation as a creation of a great sage who primarily cultivated earth magic and secondarily space magic.

This place is shrouded in a mysterious spatial magic circle.

It also involves some theories about space systems.

There's a concept about space: one step can take a thousand feet, two steps can take ten thousand miles, and three steps can take you to boundless lands!
The Three-Step Tower was actually built using this theory.

Therefore, it is also called the Tower of Boundless Space, because it does not look very grand from the outside, but the space inside is difficult to reach the end.

Continue walking forward, and you'll see steps ahead.

The man guarding the place explained some precautions before turning to leave, while Fang Yu headed upstairs.

The staircase looked incredibly impressive because it consisted of only one set of steps, suspended in the dim light ahead, leading to a geometrically striking triangular platform higher up in the darkness.

Once he stepped onto it, Fang Yu had a feeling that it might disappear at any moment, but in reality, this feeling was completely illusory and nonexistent.
The first level is reached when you reach the triangular metal platform, which is about the size of a basketball court. The elemental power of heaven and earth is abundant there, and mages cultivate their nebulae there. The expansion speed of the nebulae is much faster than usual.

However, Fang Yu did not stop there, but continued to walk up.

He made it all the way to the third floor, and even with his current cultivation level, he was starting to feel the strain.

The moment I stepped into the third floor, all my mental stress vanished.

Instead, the elemental concentration is a staggering 80 times higher, making you feel like you're immersed in an ocean of elements, where you can greedily absorb them to expand your nebula.

The speed at which you absorb nutrients during meditation here gives you a sense of value!

Because they possess a mysterious ice hockey puck!
In this third level, the speed of improvement is a full 200 times!

This didn't seem like cultivation at all; rather, it felt like energy was being forcibly poured into his body. Moreover, due to the nature of this place, the energy generated not only didn't cause any harm, but actually made him feel exceptionally comfortable.

Of course, this 200-fold speed only lasted for one morning before being reduced by half.

In the afternoon, the rate of increase dropped to less than 100 times.

On the second day, it became 60 times.

By the afternoon of the second day, it had become a 20-fold increase.

After reaching 20 times the normal speed, it stopped decreasing. But even at its lowest speed, it was enough for him to cultivate outside for a month!
Meditate, meditate.
It keeps repeating, repeating, repeating.
Time always flies when you're cultivating.

Before I even realized it, three days had passed.

After three days of cultivation, his spatial and summoning nebulae successfully expanded to the second level.

After improving the spatial and summoning abilities, the remaining time was spent on the ice nebula.

When the time came, he was called out. There was nothing he could do; the school's stipulated time was three days, and not a minute more would be allowed. Each activation of the Three-Step Tower would consume a huge amount of energy, and the school would keep a tight grip on it.

Fortunately, these three days have brought him great gains! Fang Yu walked out of the Three-Step Tower, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

After that, I planned to go to the library to look up some magical experiences from those who came before me.

……

The library of the university in Shanghai was built in a magnificent and grand manner. Fang Yu walked in quietly by himself without disturbing anyone.

The library contains many professional books, some of which cannot even be taken out of the library. These books are written by the university itself and are not distributed to the public, but students can browse them freely.

Of course, many of these books are based on the experiences of our own teachers and professors. Other universities also have their own books, so they are not taboo books.

Fang Yu went to the third floor, followed the index, and found the special section where books on ice magic were displayed.

He wasn't there to learn any professional knowledge; he just wanted to look up some experiences and insights from those who came before him.

As I scrolled through the books, I suddenly stopped on a notebook.

Sitting upright at his desk, with the soft sunlight streaming into the room, Fang Yu slowly turned the pages one by one.

This is an autobiography of an ice mage. Fang Yu had never heard of him before, but to leave his biography here, he must be a powerful mage.

This senior monk had been to many places, and he once taught in Shanghai, which is why he left behind this biography.

He came from Yunnan and wrote about things Fang Yu had never known before, including demons he had never encountered.

More importantly.

The book also introduces a piece of history about the Icefield County.

That place was the strange place where Fang Yu obtained the Ice Elemental Holy Spirit.

Fang Yu carefully examined some of the photos in the book.

The first image shows a group of men and women dressed in ancient costumes resisting the demon tide of Jade Spirit Snow Mountain.

The second image showed a group of ancient magicians wielding frost stone giants, battling a host of snow mountain demons!

"..."

Fang Yu fell into deep thought again, and based on the images he had seen and some rumors he had heard in Bingyuan County, he began to speculate.

A reconstruction of the history of Bingyuan County:

A tribe of mages lived a normal life around the Icefield County until one day, an ice elemental descended, triggering a mini ice age.

The Little Ice Age altered the surrounding environment, affecting the normal lives of this magician tribe. As a result, the tribe decided to wage war against the ice elemental beings.

Because the ice elemental creature was so unique, this mage tribe killed it and sealed it on Jade Spirit Snow Mountain using special methods.

However, although they successfully sealed the ice elemental beings, they could not change the environment that had already been formed.

The mage tribe could only adapt to the new environment, and their totem stone giants began to mutate into frost stone giants.

Meanwhile, the demons surrounding the snow-capped mountains have also evolved due to the environment, with the number of ice-attribute creatures greatly increasing.

Furthermore, ten years ago, ice elemental beings revived and turned into undead. Influenced by their resentment, the demons of Jade Spirit Snow Mountain became extremely irritable and frequently stirred up demon tides.

It has remained unchanged to this day.

Despite the passage of time, the relics of ice elemental creatures still exist, as do the demon tides; however, this mage tribe has vanished for various reasons, becoming the present-day Ice Plains Prefecture.
