Above the mage!

Chapter 279 Sixth-level Ice Jade Wutong
Once again choosing Flora as the test subject, God used the Mandela Magic Eye.

Compared to the last time, this time it only took a moment for [Insight] to help Gaode build a preliminary 3D human body model of Flora, and this model was much more specific than the one built in the previous second stage.

The model can even clearly outline the subtle energy flow on Flora's body surface.

But at the same time, the mana consumption of casting Mandela's Eye also increased sharply to more than twice the previous amount.

Gao De could only quickly put away the Mandela Magic Eye, secretly sighing in his heart that it was a pity.

Although this ability is useful, he really can't use it much now.

First-ring wizard level, third-level Mandela's Eye.

This can be considered as high score but low ability in a sense.

Then, Goder opened the door, looked into the distance, and tested the vision of Mandela's Magic Eye.

In addition to [Insight] and [Delusion Breaking] which consume a lot of mana to cast, the farsightedness and microscopic abilities of Mandela's Eye have also been greatly improved after being upgraded.

Now, he can even see some details of things thousands of meters away with the help of Mandela's Magic Eye.

It can't be considered a clairvoyance, but it can be considered as a twenty-mile vision, Gao De thought to himself.

This effect is comparable to that of a third-level spell, right?

If I want to improve Mandela's Eye to this level by myself, it will take a long time.

But with the help of the Zhenbing tribe, it only takes one night.

Through this incident, Gao De became more aware and profound about the importance of possessing a power.

After all, resources and knowledge are too important for a mage.

And these are precisely the weaknesses of the "Lone Ranger".

Thinking of this, Gao De had already returned to the room.

He flipped through the spell formula that Sunaifa had sent him.

Just as Sunaifa said, the Zhenbing tribe's reserves of spell formulas are extremely limited.

Among the spell recipes sent, the first one was the tricks, all of which were common tricks, and Gaode had mastered them all.

So he scanned them and put them aside.

As for the fourth-ring spell formula, there is none, the third-ring spell formula has two copies, and the second-ring spell formula has five copies.

Gao De took a quick look and found that these second-ring spell formulas and third-ring spell formulas were also common general spells.

He couldn't use these high-level spell recipes for the time being, so he just took a quick look at them and put them aside.

Gaode's main focus is on first-ring spell recipes.

There are eleven in total.

These include [Language Proficiency], [Shield Technique], and [Environmental Tolerance] which he has already mastered.

The remaining eight spell recipes are: [Mage Armor], [Grease], [Long Stride], [Feather Fall], [Jump], [Heavy Burden], [Detect Plants and Animals], and [Light Feather Step].

They are still all general spells, and none of them are damage spells. They are either functional spells or defensive spells.

Because the Zhenbing Tribe never deliberately collected spell formulas, these spell formulas all came from outsiders who wandered into Phoenix.

Although there are no damage spells, the functional spells are also very practical. Gaode will definitely not think that he has too many spells and would like to master them all on the spot.

The problem is that in order to construct a spell model for a first-level spell, in addition to the corresponding spell formula, one also needs to take the corresponding spell potion.

Although the materials needed for the spell potions of these spells are not very precious, most of them cannot be found in the North - the extreme environment of the North means that the most common spell materials here are rare in the outside world; similarly, the common spell materials in the outside world are basically not seen in the North.

The relatively primitive and isolated environment of the North has led to a lack of trade and the lack of material flow with the outside world.

In the North, only ice elemental spells can easily find the magical materials needed for their spell potions.

Gaode has no solution to this situation for the time being.

He could only write down the spell formula first, and then collect the corresponding spell potion when he left the North in the future.

Gao De had already anticipated this when he chose to enter the northern border.

There are gains and losses.

But in the end, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, after all, the mage level is the most important.

As long as he finds a suitable place in the north to plant Yugathixila, his mage level can be quickly improved.

Once you have a high level of wizard, there will definitely be no problem with the order when you try to cast spells.

Not to mention that we now have the unexpected gain of the Zhenbing Tribe.

After putting away all the spell formulas, Gao De sat down and began today's practice, ready to experience the speed of practicing in a fourth-level spiritual land with a magic concentration of up to 4500.

It turns out that the saying "It's hard for a poor family to produce a noble son" is applicable in almost any world.

Because Gao De suddenly discovered that after practicing here once, his progress in practice was nearly ten times that of his previous practice.

A first-level wizard’s one-year practice on a fourth-level spiritual ground is equivalent to ten years of practice for an ordinary wizard. How can a poor wizard compare with the “second-generation wizards”?

According to Gaode's original estimate, it would take him about a year to condense a drop of new liquid mana.

It has only been five months since I was promoted to a first-level wizard, and there was one month in which I was restricted by others and unable to practice.

Therefore, the progress of condensing this new drop of liquid mana was actually less than one third.

After taking the Ice Jade Wutong Leaf Water, his mental power soared from 100 to 132, which brought about an increase in his cultivation speed.

And now, with the blessing of the fourth-level spiritual land, his practice efficiency has been increased nearly tenfold. With the combination of the two, his practice speed has skyrocketed to nearly eleven times the normal speed.

In other words, if one practices at this pace, the 21st drop of liquid mana that would have taken eight months to condense can be condensed within one month.

It takes more than a month to condense a new drop of liquid mana, and it only takes more than two years to condense twenty drops of liquid mana.

In less than three years, his mage level was able to rise from the initial first ring to the middle first ring.

This speed is exaggerated to think about.

"This is not the end. After planting trees, the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra can also be used to increase the speed of cultivation. The efficiency of cultivation can be further increased, although I don't know how much it can be increased at present."

Gao De counted on his fingers and felt relieved.

He is only fifteen years old this year, but the lifespan of a first-ring mage is 150 years.

According to this progress, he should be able to reach the late first ring level in his early twenties. This time is so ample that he doesn't even know how to spend it.

Also, don’t forget that [Aoki Changshengjing] also has the effect of increasing your lifespan.

"Lay a good foundation. The more lifespan you have in the early stages, the more confident you will be when you reach the advanced stage." Gao De said secretly.

After finishing today's practice and making preliminary plans for the follow-up progress, he turned his gaze and fell on the little man who seemed bored.

Flora pricked up her pointed ears alertly, as if she had sensed something wrong. She flapped her little wings and was about to leave, but Gode's voice had already reached her ears.

"Lady Flora, today I will teach you the art of making friends."

Phoenix, in the core spiritual land.

The place under the Bingyu Wutong tree is particularly lively today. Most of the elders of the Zhenbing tribe have come. If there wasn't so much room, there would probably be even more people coming.

The war mother Sunaifa and Gaode were also present, because today was the day for Bingyu Wutong to advance.

Why did Gaode choose five days later to send out the troops?
In addition to the preparation time required by the Zhenbing tribe, more importantly, Gaode took into consideration the Bingyu Wutong.

At least I have to help Bingyu Wutong upgrade his level before I can leave Phoenix with everyone without worry.

In this regard, Gaode is still responsible.

Moreover, there is a sixth-level Ice Jade Wutong tree standing in Phoenix as the guardian tree. Even if most of the Ice Clan members of the Zhenbing Tribe go out to fight, there is no need to worry about fire in the rear.

After so many days of the elders of the Zhenbing tribe taking turns to supply mana, the Bingyu Wutong tree, which has been replenished and nourished by the ice element, can be said to be completely renewed.

The more than twenty cracks that originally appeared on the tree have long since healed, and the surface is as smooth as a mirror, flashing a faint blue light. Not even a trace can be seen, as if the cracks had never appeared.

The bigger change is that the trunk of the Ice Jade Wutong tree is now emitting wisps of fine and pure cold air that is slowly rising, and its shape is somewhat like dry ice.

This is a sign that the Bingyu Wutong has absorbed enough energy and is preparing to transform into the sixth level.

And this last step also requires external help.

"Let's get started. Just like before, everyone should supply mana and ice element energy to Bingyu Wutong." After receiving Flora's instructions, Gao De began to give instructions calmly.

"The energy required for the Ice Jade Wutong to advance is extremely large, so this time you just need to supply it with mana, and don't worry about it not being able to accommodate it."

After confirming with Sunaifa, Gaode nodded slightly.

Afterwards, all the elders under the Ice Jade Wutong tree stretched out their hands at the same time, with their palms facing the Ice Jade Wutong tree.

The next moment, an overwhelming ice-blue spiritual light transformed by magic power burst out from their palms, dazzling and bright, and continuously flowed towards the Bingyu Wutong.

In an instant, this core spiritual land was rendered dreamy and seemed to have turned into a land of aurora.

The rich magic power carried with it the pure power of ice element, almost condensing into solid ice, covering the entire ice jade phoenix tree.

The Bingyu Wutong instinctively began to absorb the huge power of the ice element. Its leaves, which seemed to be made of ice crystals, moved slightly in the wind like wind chimes, making clear and pleasant sounds.

On the tree trunk, there were rays of deep blue light flashing continuously, winding and moving like a spirit snake.

Every flash of blue light was accompanied by the surge and sublimation of strength and vitality within Bingyu Wutong's body.

Time seemed to be accelerated at this moment.

The Bingyu Wutong tree grew at an astonishing speed.

The trunk becomes thicker and also extends higher.

Originally the Ice Jade Wutong tree was only three meters tall, but now it has grown to four meters, and its growth momentum has not stopped, it is still continuing to climb upwards.

The already lush tree crown also expanded outward, and the branches spread even wider.

However, what was unexpected was that the ice crystal leaves on the branches that were constantly swaying and making crisp sounds actually began to fall off as the tree grew.

After a while, all the leaves of the Ice Jade Wutong fell off, leaving only a bare trunk.

Before the people who saw this scene could react to what was happening, they saw little buds like ice crystals beginning to bloom where the leaves were originally.

These young shoots greedily absorbed the power of ice element from the icy-blue light in the sky like newborn babies, and then grew at an astonishing speed, becoming bigger and more lush.

In the blink of an eye, the ice jade sycamore tree that had just turned "bald" became "lush and leafy" again.

The new leaves are larger and more crystal clear than the previous ones, and they sparkle with a faint blue light.

This is not over yet.

Among the newly grown ice crystal leaves, three more stamens actually sprouted!

When Gao De saw this scene, he couldn't help but show joy on his face.

The pistil is pulled out, which means that Bingyu Wutong is about to be successfully upgraded.

However, these three stamens are more delicate than the leaves. They require more massive magic power and ice elements to nourish and stabilize them, otherwise they may wither and die.

"Increase the mana supply!" Following Flora's reminder, Gode quickly gave orders again.

The many elders who received Gao De's order immediately gritted their teeth and released all the remaining magic power in their bodies without reservation, accurately casting it onto the three stamens on the Ice Jade Wutong Tree, providing them with a constant supply of "nutrition".

Even Sunaifa, when he saw this scene, took a step forward, stretched out his palms, and released the magic power in his body.

However, unlike the elders, the magical aura manifested by her power was silver-white instead of dark blue.

It was the purest and noblest silver-white, and what it contained was not the power of the ice element, but a higher quality, purer and more powerful power of the true ice element.

Under Sunaifa's control, the silver-white magical light poured into the three stamens like a rainbow.

After being nourished by such pure and powerful Zhenbing elements, the three stamens finally began to bloom slowly.

After the three stamens bloomed, the Ice Jade Wutong finally stopped growing and its height was fixed at five meters.

The blue light flickering on the tree also disappeared at this moment.

This means that the Bingyu Wutong has successfully advanced and stabilized at the sixth level. The next step is to continuously absorb and gather magic power and ice elements and continue to grow naturally.

"War Mother, my king, did it succeed?" Elder Grant confirmed.

Sunaifa took a step forward, gently stroked the Ice Jade Wutong, which had undergone a great change, and nodded slightly, "Success."

"Great!"

All the elders present finally relaxed and couldn't help cheering.

"Pick up the fallen ice jade sycamore leaves." While delighted, Sunaifa did not forget to give the order.

These fallen fifth-level ice jade sycamore leaves can be soaked in water and drunk, which has the miraculous effect of enhancing mental strength and is very valuable.

However, as the leaves are the guardian tree, they usually dare not pick them without permission. They can only wait for the Ice Jade Wutong leaves to fall on their own before collecting them.

Under normal circumstances, it takes several years for a few leaves of the Ice Jade Sycamore to fall off.

So even Sunaifa usually couldn't bear to drink more ice jade sycamore water.

Now, as the Ice Jade Wutong is upgrading, all of its old leaves have fallen off.

A rough count revealed that there were probably around three or four hundred Ice Jade Wutong leaves, which was considered a windfall.

As for the three newly born stamens, according to records, they will eventually condense into ice jade fruits.

"Taking one Ice Jade Fruit will allow a mage to increase thirty drops of liquid mana for ice-attribute cultivation." Sunaifa had come to Gaode and introduced him to him.

Even though Gao De guessed that the sixth-level magic plant must be extraordinary, he couldn't help but take a breath after hearing about the effects of the Ice Jade Fruit.

——You should know that the total mana of a first-ring late-stage mage is just sixty drops of liquid mana.

"How long will it take to bear fruit?" asked Gao De.

"It matures once every thirty years." Sunaifa gave the answer.

The Ice Jade Wutong mother tree in the history of the Zhenbing tribe was as high as the eighth level.

Therefore, as for the specific situation of each level of Bingyu Wutong, there is still a small amount of information passed down in the Zhenbing tribe.

Of course, it’s okay even if you don’t have it.

Anyway, Flora is here, and she just needs to communicate with Bingyu Wutong, and they will naturally know the information.
