Above the mage!

Chapter 159 [Divine Guidance +]

"I recommend the calla lily fruit from the zero-level magic plant and the thorn fruit from the first-level magic plant."

Gao De nodded and agreed.

These two kinds of magical plants have the characteristics of strong vitality and short growth cycle.

"Then let's go with calla lilies and thorn berries. Just give me thirty calla lily seeds and ten thorn berry seeds."

The number of seeds that Gaode received was also very particular. Whether it was the zero-level magic plant seeds or the first-level magic plant seeds, they were all within the full score limit.

The two kinds of magic plants complement each other to ensure the final result.

"Okay." The potion student quickly selected forty seeds for Gode and packed them into two cloth bags.

After selecting the seeds, it’s time to claim the medicinal field.

"The medicinal fields that can be claimed for the Magic Plant Cultivation Course are all located in the No. 11 medicinal garden. This is a special garden opened by the academy for assessment."

The old student pulled out a land map of Medicine Garden No. 11, which showed that the medicinal fields in the garden had been artificially divided into nearly a hundred plots.

A small part of the medicinal fields have been marked, indicating that they have been claimed by someone.

"These medicinal fields have only been planted with magic plants for a few periods of time, so they are more fertile." When Gao De was selecting medicinal fields, the alchemy student suddenly winked at Gao De and quietly pointed out a few medicinal fields.

Goder was a little confused. He didn't know the Potions student in front of him and couldn't figure out where the other party's "goodwill" came from.

It can’t be because you think he’s “good”.

"Chief Sadie has specifically instructed us to help you choose a good field to help you achieve better results," the Potions student added, seeming to see Goder's doubts, "For members of our mutual aid association, this little benefit is still available."

Gao De suddenly realized.

As the chief student of the Potions Department, Sadie could naturally protect Goder with such a small matter.

Gao De didn't hesitate either. After all, he joined the mutual aid association for its resources.

He directly claimed the one with the best geographical location from the several medicinal fields pointed out by the Potions student.

After completing the registration for the medicinal field, Gao De brought forty seeds to his own medicinal field.

The soil of the medicinal field has been cultivated.

It's just that it's exposed and quite dry. If you want the seeds to absorb more nutrients and grow faster and better after germination, you have to dig deeper.

But if you dig too deep, it will affect the germination of seeds and cause the seeds to suffocate in the soil.

The right balance in this is something that Gaode needs to grasp on his own.

Standing in front of his own medicine field, Gao De's mind moved, he took a deep breath, and the magical energy began to gather.

The next moment, the soil in the medicine field became soft and compliant. Pieces of dry soil were easily turned up, and then moved aside under Gao De's will.

As Gaode continued to cast spells, holes soon appeared one after another in the medicine field.

Simple application of 【plastic clay】.

Three days have passed since the purchase of the seven spell recipes.

During these three days, Gaode constructed a total of two spell models, one was [Divine Guidance], and the other was [Earth Shaping] which he mastered specifically for this moment.

——If as a wizard, I have to go down to the fields and turn the soil myself, that would be too humiliating.

With the use of the [Soil Shaping] spell, the land in the medicine field has been completely renewed and become suitable for farming. The topsoil in each hole has been turned up to a depth of about 5-7 cm.

If it were done purely manually, it would take at least half an hour, and it would not be possible to control it so precisely. Then, Gao De sprinkled some fertilizer into the corresponding holes according to the seed variety to further increase the fertility and ensure that each seed had enough nutrients around it to support its early growth.

This step is completed through [Mage's Hand+].

Sowing is much simpler. Just scatter the seeds in the corresponding holes, and then lightly cover them with a layer of fine soil using [molding soil] and you're done.

The last step is watering. You must ensure that the water can penetrate into the location of the seeds, while avoiding too much water to cause water accumulation. In addition, the water for watering must also be specially formulated.

Gaode completed all these without any problem, and he was always very focused in the "class".

Once everything is done, today's work is done.

But then there will be a lot of busy work. I need to come to the medicinal field every day to check the soil moisture and seed germination, remove weeds, pay attention to pests and diseases, and do a lot of other work.

Farming has always been a meticulous job.

On the 16th day of the month of mist and frost, the usage time of the first-level training room on Gaode's "account" was exhausted again.

This time he spent 20 gold coins and got 80 hours of use in the training room.

It was also on this day that the seeds he planted in the medicinal field began to sprout one after another.

Gao De became more diligent in visiting the medicinal fields.

After the seeds germinated, he had to pay attention not only to the fertility issue, but also to the magic power absorption of these magical medicinal plant seedlings.

The reason why magic plants are called magic plants is that one of their main characteristics is that in addition to the fertilizer required by plants, they also need to absorb magic power to grow.

At the same time, a major difference between magic plants and ordinary herbs is that if the magic power is sufficient, the growth cycle of magic plants will be greatly shortened.

On the 21st of the Fog and Frost Month, Gaode successfully constructed the spell models of seven new spells.

After that, his spell library has expanded to an exaggerated level of 27 0-level spells.

The number of tricks required to awaken super expertise, which is more than 35, is getting closer and closer as mentioned by Bjorn Otero in the graduation design.

However, although Gaode agreed with what he said that the number of spells is positively correlated with the strength of awakening expertise, he was skeptical about the number "35".

After all, this is all pure speculation on the part of Bijon Otero based on very small samples.

In Gaode's view, the difficulty of improvement will naturally increase as time goes by, and it cannot be calculated proportionally.

Therefore, "35" spells are not a safe number, and even 40 spells do not make him feel at ease.

Gaode's idea is to expand his spell library to more than 45 before being promoted to a first-ring mage.

After mastering all seven new spells, after some thought, Gaode placed the origin point of [Red-Eyed Sparrow] that he had just obtained not long ago on [Divine Guidance].

The effect of divine guidance is to temporarily and slightly improve performance in a certain skill.

This effect makes it look like just a spell, but in fact it has many effects.

Especially in Seres Academy, learning skills has always been a very important part, so the importance of [Divine Guidance] is even more prominent.

And in the end, "Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow" did not disappoint Gao De.

[Divine Guidance +] (Divination, Level 0):

Choose a target to cast this spell on, temporarily and slightly improving its performance in the next feat.

Including but not limited to: lock picking success rate, archery hit rate, item manufacturing success rate
Additional: The power of the Guidance spell is no longer limited to the next Feat, but instead lasts for one hour, regardless of how many Feat activities the target performs during the spell.
