Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 161 Lady Morgana's Approval
Locke reorganized his thoughts. Considering the special nature of the Nine-Snake Flower, which is essentially nine flowers intertwined, he decided to add a universal calming frequency.

Therefore, three frequencies need to be used together on this nine-snake flower.

Just as Locke was organizing his thoughts, Martin, who was standing next to him, had already started using the radiation cauldron provided in the examination room and the magic resonance cultivation method.

Originally, the nine-snake flower was withering due to lack of water and root rot, but under the universal invigorating frequency he applied, it gradually began to come alive. Each nine-snake flower flower was dancing under the special radiation frequency, as if it were dancing.

The three visiting candidates looked at him with envy.

"As expected of students from Lilith's Hut, they came up with a solution so quickly."

"His control over the magic resonance cultivation method is too strong. He might very well pass this test..."

The three official wizards watched coldly from the sidelines, without uttering a word.

Just when Martin thought he was about to finish the second round of exams, the situation suddenly changed. The nine-headed snake flower, which had been invigorated by the universal exhilarating frequency of the magic resonance cultivation method, suddenly started fighting each other after temporarily regaining its vitality.

Extremely fierce.

Each snakehead flower reveals its sharp, serrated sepals hidden beneath its petals, biting fiercely into another nine-snake flower.

In an instant, green leaves fluttered and red flowers withered. The once vibrant and beautiful nine-snake flower committed suicide in less than five minutes after Martin intervened.

Martin's expression changed drastically. One exam required a fee of five hundred magic stones, which was equivalent to more than half a month's wages for him working at the magic plant shop.

He had worked very hard to save up this money.

"No, no, stop!"

"Stop fighting, stop fighting!"

The two formal wizards couldn't bear to watch any longer, and Lady Morgana scolded, "This is what happens when your theoretical knowledge is not solid."

The three outside candidates looked somewhat desperate. They never expected that Martin, the elite student from Lilith Hut who was so skilled in their eyes, would end up like this.

This exam is way too difficult.

Is this the difference between a breeder and a breeder's assistant?

"Look, another candidate from Lilith's Hut has started. Will he succeed?"

On the other side, Locke organized his thoughts and thought them through again. After confirming that nothing had been missed, he used the mixed-frequency magic resonance on the nine-snake flower in front of him.

Immediately, under the radiation of the radiation cauldron, the nine-snake flower began to dance, initially in a manner similar to Martin's operation.

However, unlike before, five minutes later, this nine-snake flower not only regained its vitality, but the insects in the eggs on the surface of its leaves also crawled out one by one and were driven away.

Meanwhile, the nine-snake flowers did not fight each other as before; instead, they remained quiet, and nothing seemed amiss.

Martin stared at Locke's pot of nine-snake flowers, his eyes filled with confusion. He couldn't understand what was wrong with him, why he was so different from Locke.

Ten minutes later, the previously listless Nine-Snake Flower was completely revived in Locke's hands.

Locke used his magical resonance to transmit a wisp of his magic power into the Nine-Snake Flower, accelerating its ability to regenerate its roots.

In this way, he completely revived a dying magical plant without ever touching it with his hands.

Although this is unnecessary, it is a very good test of the breeder's actual practical skills.

It is still very necessary in exams.

The two certified wizards were astonished to see this scene; they were surprised that a candidate could use the Magical Frequency Cultivation Method so skillfully during the exam.

Moreover, during the exam, he was able to see through Mrs. Morgana's trap in such a short reaction time.

The two certified wizards nodded repeatedly. "This Augustine candidate certainly possesses the operational skills of a certified breeder. In fact, he might even be better than the average certified breeder in the Magical Frequency Breeding Method."

"He must have just been promoted to a first-class wizard apprentice this year, and he also just passed the potion master assistant exam within six months."

"I remember he was a student of the witch Sophia, so he's a grand-disciple of Lady Morgana. No wonder they're from the same lineage; his skill is truly impressive. He has a bright future ahead of him." A formal wizard glanced at Lady Morgana, subtly flattering her.

Lady Morgana's lips curved slightly, revealing a satisfied smile. "Yes, his theoretical level still has some room for improvement, but his practical skills are indeed very good."

"He has a good talent in the field of breeding."

She had originally intended to find fault with the test, but she hadn't expected Locke to see through her trap.

Then there is nothing more to say.

Although senior breeders could still find many errors in Locke's methods, this was a formal breeder exam, and as the examiner, she could not exceed the syllabus.

Lady Morgana looked at Locke and praised him, "You are very clever."

"I can't believe they recognized the traps in my test questions in such a short time."

Locke answered honestly, "Lady Morgana, it was thanks to a fellow examinee who mentioned centipede grass that I suddenly compared the characteristics of centipede grass and nine-snake flower in my mind."

"This is my luck."

Mrs. Morgana said, "That only means you already sensed that something was wrong."

Lady Morgana was eager to find fault with Locke's performance, so she added, "If you could use the Nine-Snake Flower's unique optimal resonance frequency, the effect would be even better."

"Sofia should have taught you beforehand."

Locke could only manage a wry smile.

The optimal resonant frequency of the Nine-Snake Flower is a secret formula; how could I possibly know it? Even the Witch Sophia doesn't research this area, so she doesn't know either.

Of course, he knew that this was just Mrs. Morgana needing to find a place to talk about herself, and since she couldn't find one, she could only offer this far-fetched guidance.

She is my teacher's teacher, so it's best not to argue with her.

After all, there's still one last round of exams to go.

Moreover, I won't lose anything by listening to it.

Lady Morgana offered some words of comfort to the other examinees. "The second round of the exam only tests your level of magical resonance cultivation, so you don't necessarily need to successfully revive the Nine-Snake Flower in your hands."

"As long as you each perform at your best, that's enough."

Upon hearing this, the candidates, who had been frowning, perked up again, and even Martin's eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope.

Another hour passed, and seeing that the remaining four candidates had not produced any results, Mrs. Morgana said, "Time's up."

"Alright, the final test is the targeted mutation test. Here are two hundred pots of Tiffany root vines. I need you to choose two of them and use the grafting method to cultivate a Tiffany root vine with optimized performance."

"The only requirement is that this tiffroot vine must outperform any of the two hundred tiffroot vines here."

"The time is one afternoon."

Jonas Cortez added, "Time is a bit tight, but if you really have the level of a certified breeder, you can do it."

"The eyesight, judgment, and intuition of a professional breeder are vastly different from those of a breeder's assistant."

Locke felt relieved upon hearing the content of the final exam.

It's stable this time.

If the final round of the targeted mutation exam tests other magical plants, he might be eliminated in this final round.

Many breeders were assigned exam questions they weren't good at, which delayed their becoming certified breeders for many years.

The problem is that the final test is on the directional mutation of Tiffany vines, which is my area of ​​expertise.
