Above the mage!

Chapter 198: Iron Heart

Medicinal magical plants are collectively called "grass" by Flora.

"Yeah, is there any problem?" Gao De replied.

"Why bother?"

"Where's the trouble?"

"Why do you humans need to summarize so many rules?"

"Because only in this way can we find out the habits of the magic plants, know what conditions are most suitable for their growth, and even let them upgrade. We will know approximately when they will grow up and what they need at the moment." Gao De explained patiently.

“Can’t you feel these directly?”

"Of course not." Gode suddenly reacted and stared at Flora with wide eyes, "Can you?!"

"Yes, Lady Flora only needs to touch them to know what they need."

This is not cheating. Gaode expressed shock.

"Can Lady Flora know the needs of any plant by touching it?" Goder asked solemnly.

"Yes."

"Lady Flora, I take back what I said before."

"What?"

"I don't know how to plant trees, flowers, or grass. At least, compared to you, I don't know how to do it."

"Master, I also want to take back what I said before."

"What?"

"You're not smart."

Gao De pursed his lips and chose to endure it.

He bent down, put the small cup in his hand on the ground and pushed it in front of Flora.

Flora looked down at the 'small cup', then looked up at Godard:

"what is this?"

"It's delicious. I'll treat you to a drink."

So Flora flew to the cup, scratched the rim of the cup like a child scratching a water jar, and licked it carefully.

"!!!" She immediately raised her head and looked at Gao De again.

"Does Lady Flora like it?"

"Ah."

"This is all for you, and there will be more in the future."

"Thank you."

The next day.

Foggy and frosty month, 21st.

Gao De got up very early.

At least when he got up, Flora was still sleeping soundly.

Today, he still has a lot to do.

Gao De first came to the trading area of ​​the college.

Compared to other areas and facilities in the college, the shops in the trading area opened earlier.

So he easily bought the yeast and seasonal fruits needed to brew fruit drinks.

However, Gaode did not leave immediately, but came to the central area of ​​the trading area.

The shops on the edge of the academy's trading area sell ordinary daily necessities or food, while the shops in the central area sell wizard items.

Godard found a potion shop and walked in.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" The person who greeted Gao De was a young wizard wearing a standard student robe, who was obviously another student on the "work-study" program.

"One portion each of Songhai bird eggs, Abeshian longfin fish scales, and Omla goat horn powder, half a gu of sun grass powder, and 15 drops of frost juice."

This is the raw material needed for the [Endure Environment] spell potion.

"There is also 1 gu of swift grass powder, 1 gu of black sour fruit juice, and 8 gu of maid clam meat." Gao De then reported the main and auxiliary materials needed for the spell potions of [Language Proficiency] and [Shield Spell] respectively.

After listening to Gaode name the ingredients as if he were reading out a dish, the young wizard immediately began to search through the medicine cabinet against the wall skillfully and neatly.

The three first-ring spells chosen by Gaode are the most common spells of first-ring mages, and accordingly, the corresponding raw materials are also the most complete in stock.

“一阶松海鸟卵一份14金2银，一阶欧姆拉山羊独角粉一份13金16银，太阳草粉末半蛊司3金.”

The young wizard weighed out the corresponding amounts of materials according to Gaode's requirements and gave Gaode a quote.

A spell potion usually consists of 2 main ingredients and 3-5 auxiliary ingredients.

The main materials are raw materials of corresponding levels. The main materials of a first-level spell are generally first-level potion materials, and the auxiliary materials are the next-level potion materials.

The total price of the main and auxiliary materials combined is roughly in the range of 40 gold coins, sometimes more, sometimes less.

"As for the maiden clams, the store is running low. The next batch will probably arrive in seven days." The young mage opened the medicine cabinet where the maiden clams were stored, took a look, and apologized. The only raw material that Gao De needed was the maiden clams.

"This thing is difficult to preserve and is usually picked on the spot, so the academy has specially set aside an area of ​​water for the breeding of maiden clams," he said.

Gao De nodded to show his understanding.

There’s no rush, just come back in seven days.

"But for this stuff, I suggest you go directly to the Potions Department and apply for permission to collect it yourself in the name of learning [Language Proficiency] to mix spells and potions. I'll charge you only 5 gold for one maid clam. Of course, you're only allowed to collect one. If you buy it in the store, it will cost 12 gold." The young wizard suddenly reminded Gao De.

Gao De was startled, then asked in surprise: "Do you know me?"

"My name is Wu Si, a member of the Mutual Aid Society, Gao De, I have heard of your name for a long time." The young wizard smiled politely and introduced himself.

He also saw the news that Gaode was promoted to a first-ring mage last night.

For such a talented wizard, he would definitely not miss the opportunity to make friends and show goodwill.

That's the benefit of having a reputation.

In addition to causing some unnecessary trouble, more often than not, it will actually bring some unexpected benefits and goodwill.

"Most mages find it troublesome and are unwilling to go through the trouble of going into the water to collect clams. They would rather spend the extra 7 gold. But you are different. This is totally effortless for you." Wu Si flattered subtly.

Gaode’s reputation as a “good clam catcher” is also well-known in the college.

"I understand. Thank you." God took the other potion ingredients, took out his purse, and paid 106 gold and 12 silver.

He was indeed moved.

Gao De returned to Building 30 in Zone 1 with the purchased supplies.

First, he brewed the Immaculate Fruit Drink, and then he came to the workshop to mix the [Endurance Environment] and [Shield] spell potions.

To call it a blend is a gross exaggeration, in reality it is just a hodgepodge.

Just put all the ingredients together according to the quantity, light the fire and boil them into juice. There are no details or operations in the whole process.

After all, the purpose of this process is just to make it more palatable.
After finishing all this, Godard went upstairs and took a look, and found that Flora was still sleeping soundly.

He shook his head and didn't bother her.

This is my little ancestor.

The second floor of the library.

Gao De arrived just in time for the door to open.

Fortunately, the old wizard guarding the second floor, although very old, did not have the old-fashioned habit of being late and leaving early.

"You're here so early? Have you decided which method of practice to choose?" The old master had just sat down and made some tea when he saw Gao De appear from the corner. He was also very surprised.

Godd nodded.

"Which one do you want to choose?" The old wizard was also a little curious about the result of Gao De's night of thinking. As he asked, he picked up the cup.

"Qingmu Changsheng Sutra." Gao De said decisively with a clear goal.

"Puff!" The tea that the old wizard had just put into his mouth sprayed out all of a sudden.

Gao De looked at the old wizard with an innocent face.

"Should I have told you about the flaws of the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra yesterday?" The old master put down his teacup, frowned at Gao De, and couldn't help but advise: "Don't be fooled by its appearance."

"There is no such thing as a free lunch. If this Eastern practice was so magical, those Eastern masters would not have gone to such great lengths to spread it."

"I've made up my mind," Gao De said with a longing look, "I've loved planting flowers and trees since I was a child. It's rare to find a practice method that matches my hobbies. Even if it has some flaws, I'm still fascinated by it."

After Gao De stated his reasons, the old wizard still looked embarrassed.

After Gao De left yesterday, he also found out Gao De's background.

No matter how you look at it, this looks like a mage seed.

If you choose such a flawed practice method, it would be a pity no matter how you think about it.

"I've thought about it." Gao De said again, insisting on his decision.

The old wizard shook his head and sighed.

Gao De has made it clear that he is as hard as iron and cannot be persuaded with just a few words.

He is not Gao De's mentor or relative, and if he keeps advising him that his teacher is unknown, it will only make him annoying for no reason.

"Give me your identity badge," he said.

Gao De handed over his identity badge.

After the old wizard used the alchemy machine to take away 25 credits from Gaode, he took Gaode to a bookcase that was locked with a secret lock and labeled "Aoki Changsheng Jing".

After opening it, it was filled with hundreds of copied copies of the [Aoki Changsheng Jing] neatly arranged.

"Look, at the beginning, all kinds of cultivation methods were copied down in 500 copies, and this [Qingmu Changsheng Sutra] is the one with the most left." The old master pointed at the [Qingmu Changsheng Sutra] in the bookcase.

He was making a final attempt to change God's mind.

But Gaode remained unmoved.

The old wizard had no choice but to take out a book and hand it to Gao De.
