Above the mage!

Chapter 309: First Star Journey

A month later.

Varal Bay.

Another two months passed, and with Yugatshila as the center, this area was undergoing amazing changes every day.

First of all, the area of ​​the spiritual land opened up by Yugathiro is continuing to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The snow-covered land was awakened inch by inch under the nourishment of Yggdrasil. The snow melted and the soil became soft and fertile.

At the same time, the number of saplings around Yugathira is increasing.

Looking down from a high place, this small area looks like an emerald on a white cloth.

However, in recent times, the growth in the number of new seedlings has slowed down a lot.

The reason is very simple. The "first wave of potential" of the Zhenbing tribe has basically been exhausted.

In the northern border where natural conditions are extremely harsh, there are no ordinary large trees except for those magic trees that contain magical powers themselves.

The only batch of ordinary tree seeds were brought by Gaode from the outside world.

The number of tree species he brought was already scarce, with only a dozen in total. After they were planted, they were gone. The ones he planted later were all magic tree species found by the Ice Mage Zhenbing on the snowfield.

But obviously, no matter how rich the resources in the North are, the number of magic trees that exist and are easy to find around Phoenix is ​​limited, and most of the types are repeated.

After this period of intensive carpet-style search and development, the number of Iceborn mages who were able to find qualified tree species and report tree planting applications gradually began to decrease.

Therefore, half a month ago, Gaode decisively relaxed the original restrictions and began to allow repeated tree species to submit tree planting applications.

Although the repeated tree species bring limited growth benefits to Yugathira, in the current situation, even a little bit of money is worth it.

In addition to the changes brought about by Yugathira, another part of the changes came from Elder Gain and the 100-man tree protection team he led.

It is foreseeable that they will stay here for a long time, and the wild beasts and earth creatures attracted here are endless, with no signs of abating.

Elder Gain also led the members of the tree protection team to start carefully setting up camps and even outposts to build a solid defense and life guarantee.

“My king, rest assured that the sacred tree will be guarded by us.” Elder Gain brought Gao De to the sacred tree, his face full of pride.

The fifteen-foot-tall Yugathira grew luxuriantly, emitting a strong vitality.

Colorful light flows on its leaves, and this light is constantly flowing and changing, sometimes blending into bright spots of light, and sometimes dispersing into gorgeous ribbons.

Even during the day, one would be amazed by this scene, let alone at night. No wonder there are endless streams of underground creatures pouring in.

On the one hand, this did cause some trouble for Elder Gain and the tree protection team, but on the other hand, it actually solved their food problem.

After all, transporting supplies from Phoenix to here is not an easy task given the poor "infrastructure". Being self-sufficient is naturally a good thing.

Gode ​​slowly took a step forward, slowly stretched out his hand, and placed his palm on the golden and wooden trunk of Yugatshira.

Under such "intimate" contact, the connection between the tree and the human, under the effect of the bond, is at this moment so close that it is beyond imagination.

God even had a strange illusion, as if the Yugathira in front of him had become an extension of his body, a limb connected to him by blood and mind.

Thanks to this close connection, God's ability of "precise perception" is also perfectly applicable to Yugathira.

The detailed situation of Yugathiro was instantly transmitted to Gode's mind.

He then unfolded the third-level Mandela Magic Eye and made a detailed observation of Yugathhira.

Then, based on its own understanding and knowledge system, Amap transforms the information it receives and sees into its own self-made “panel data” that it can best accept:
【Yugatshira】

Level: First-level magic plant (196/1200 months)
Growth gain factor: 1.4
Astral Teleport: 1 (1/60 days)
Lifespan: (1/3600 years)
Development area (land transformation): 14 acres

Height: 15 feet

Land magic concentration: 10-15 (basic spiritual land)

In the level column, 1200 months means that if Yugatshila relies entirely on natural growth without any external interference, it will take a hundred years, or 1200 months, to break through the current level and advance to become a second-level magic plant.

This time is actually not long for the magic plant.

Magical plants have an extremely long lifespan and grow very slowly, not to mention that the magic tree is the typical representative of magic plants.

However, Yugathira has a unique ability that allows him to induce birth by planting trees.

In the natural realm it opens up, every new ordinary tree species will increase Yugathshila's growth progress by nearly 6 months, and the first-level magic tree species can increase the growth progress by nearly 28 months at one time.

Because of this, although only two months had passed since Yugathshila advanced to the first-level demon plant, its growth progress had already reached 196 months.

This progress is due to the new magic trees that have sprouted and grown in the past two months.

In addition, in the domain of Yggdrasil, the more surviving trees there are and the higher their levels, the faster they grow, that is, the higher the growth gain coefficient.

Just like now, the growth gain coefficient is 1.4, which means that for every month of natural time that passes, Yugatshira's growth progress is not only advanced by 1 month, but can be improved by 1.4 months.
Astral teleportation is easy to understand.

It takes two natural months for Yugathira to be "recharged" with the vast astral energy required for astral teleportation.

Now, it has been exactly two months and one day since it advanced to a first-level magic plant, so it has accumulated the energy required for one more astral teleportation.

The new round of "charging" has just started, so the progress is 1/60.

As for lifespan, although Yugathishira is currently only a first-level magic plant, it already has a lifespan of 4000 years.

It was just a sacred object that was bonded to Gaode's "Qingmu Changsheng Sutra". When it gave back to Gaode, it took out one tenth of its life source to increase Gaode's lifespan, so now it only has 3600 years of life left.

The area of ​​land transformed by Yugath Shila, that is, the area of ​​the opened up field, has now reached 14 acres and has become a basic spiritual land. The concentration of magic power contained is in the range of 10-15.

The closer you are to Yugathira, the higher the concentration of magic power.

But the magic power contained in the marginal areas has just reached the bottom line of the basic spiritual land.

Although the concentration of magic power in the basic spiritual land is not enough for a mage to practice, it can at least ensure the healthy growth of the magic trees in the seedling stage.

In addition, magic also has a significant beneficial effect on the growth of ordinary saplings.

If the spiritual land is of a higher level in the future, the strong magic power may even cause ordinary trees to mutate and become magic plants.

But that will definitely be a long time later.

Gao De put his hand down, took a deep breath, and his heart was full of anticipation.

This time, he came naturally for the astral journey that he had been preparing for two months.

[Bei Feng] had already put on a specially made scabbard and holster, which was pinned to his left waist.

This posture makes it convenient for Gaode to draw the sword with his right hand at any time.

For a mage, it is not a strange thing to carry a sword for emergency use, so as long as the appearance of [North Wind] is concealed, the sword will not attract other people's attention.

In addition to the North Wind, God also carried a large-capacity backpack made of frost lizard skin, with a multi-layer design. It contained many lightweight magic materials unique to the North, including some valuable parts of earth vein creatures, and a small amount of magic ores that could be used to create extraordinary things.

There are no magic plants because they are delicate and cannot withstand being tossed around, and they often have to be preserved in special ways to prevent the loss of activity.

Who knows where the astral teleportation will take him, so he doesn't even consider bringing it.

In addition, the backpack also contained more than a dozen Sean gold coins and clover silver coins of the Principality of Sean.

After being in the North for so long, although these coins have no use anymore, Gao De has always kept them well - after all, it took a lot of effort to earn them.

These are preparations for external things.

Gao De closed his eyes slightly.

【Shouyuan: 15/190】

[Spiritual power: 186, Mana: 24 drops of liquid]

[First-level origin: 12 points, mastery of tricks: 44, first-level spells: 14]

Using the ability of "precise perception" to feel his current state, and then glancing at Feng Ling Yueying's panel, he couldn't help but smile.

He was promoted to a first-ring wizard in the Mist Frost Month (October) of the 9656th year of the Nolan calendar. Now it is the beginning of the Frost Gold Month (September) of the 10th year of the Nolan calendar.

In less than a year, his magic power has increased from 20 drops of liquid at the beginning to 24 drops of liquid now.

Moreover, if you think about it carefully, your progress in cultivation can be basically ignored because of the complexity of things in the first six months and the lack of current conditions.

In other words, the real development of the world has only been in the past six months or so.

In less than half a year, he condensed four new drops of liquid mana.

According to this progress, Gao De will be able to be promoted to the middle stage of the first ring in another year and a half.

Moreover, this is when the most ideal situation has not yet been achieved.

The tree planting project on Yugathira's side has just got on track, and he has not yet enjoyed the benefits of the increased practice speed that the "Green Wood Eternal Life Sutra" can bring.

In addition, I have not considered drinking the "magic potion" for the time being.

If the help of these two could be combined, his cultivation speed would probably increase to an extremely exaggerated level that would shock others.

As for the origin of the first ring, although there are only about ten common first-ring earth vein creatures around Phoenix.

But in the past two months, under his instructions, the hunters of the Zhenbing tribe began to work tirelessly to search and hunt on the snowfield.

After such hard work, his essence accumulated to 12 points at a slow but steady pace.

The stock at 12 o'clock was enough for him to use for a while.

What's more, once he enters the outside world through the astral teleportation, the environment will change, and there will be all kinds of new earth vein creatures for him to obtain the origin.

As for the number of spells mastered, it is also an extremely exaggerated number.

Moreover, he actually still remembered the formula for eight first-level spells in his head, but he had not been able to master it because he could not find the materials needed to prepare the spell potion.

With this thought, Gao De's anticipation grew even stronger, and he couldn't wait to be teleported through the star realm to the outside world.

After all, only in the outside world can one obtain the large number of different types of trees needed for afforestation and the materials needed for spells and potions.

Let’s get started, Gao De thought to himself.

Then, he moved his mind, communicated with Yugathira, and activated the "Astral Teleportation".

The next moment, the gray mark on the trunk of the Yugathhira tree, which was hidden in the texture of the bark, suddenly glowed.

The light turned from dark to bright, spreading rapidly and transforming into a silver rune that was exactly the same as the one on the back of Gaode's hand.

Amid the flashing of the silver runes, a mysterious force surged out from its source, winding along the trunk, just like a strong heart beginning to supply blood, extending along the veins to the entire Yugath Shila.

The dreamy colorful light that was originally flowing on the leaves seemed to be disturbed and started to riot in an instant.

They gathered rapidly towards the center of the tree trunk from all directions.

For a moment, the light crisscrossed and the entire space was illuminated with colorful lights, which was extremely gorgeous and dazzling. The torrent of light roared and made a slight humming sound.

After about ten seconds of the feast of light and shadow, the colorful light on all the leaves of Yugathhira disappeared.

Instead, a portal flashing with colorful light appeared in front of Gode's eyes.

It is like a colorful pool in the starry sky, made up of countless tiny particles of light. The light interweaves and changes, with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, so colorful that it is dazzling.

Through the dreamlike light curtain, the world on the opposite side was hazy and blurry to the extreme, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Even when God tried to open the Mandela Magic Eye, it was still the same. He could only see indistinguishable shapes shrouded in fog.

If you want to know what's on the other side, you must step into the portal yourself.

Without any hesitation, Gode took a decisive step and entered the star portal.

The moment his figure sank into the light curtain, colorful light streams gushed out wantonly, and light particles began to rotate at high speed. Originally, the colors could be distinguished, but in an instant they were turned into a dazzling halo.

The trajectory of the light particles is complex and abstract, twisting strangely in the void. They are locking onto a distant and unknown coordinate in a way that transcends common sense.

In the blink of an eye, Gode's figure completely disappeared into the portal.

Afterwards, the star portal seemed to have exhausted all its energy. Its light suddenly shrank, and it disappeared like a burnt-out firework, leaving no trace behind.

Also disappearing was Gaode.

faint!
dizzy!

I feel dizzy!
This was Gaode’s first feeling after the teleportation ended.

It was a long distance transmission at such a fast speed. Although it was through the fast channel of the star realm, this instantaneous space jump still brought Gaode an extremely strong feeling of discomfort.

Of course, all this is because his mage level is too low and his functions are insufficient.

If he was a second-ring mage, he wouldn't have felt much.

But Gao De did not dare to take a rest and wait for the discomfort to slowly fade away. Instead, he forced himself to stay awake. His chaotic eyes gradually focused and he began to look around.

Everywhere you look, there are towering trees that block out the sun.

The tree trunks were incredibly thick, and it would take several people to hug them together. The rough bark was covered with moss and parasitic vines.

There was a thick layer of rotten leaves under his feet, and a damp and moldy smell rose up.

It seems like I was teleported to a primitive mountain range?
Now we are in big trouble!
