Chapter 323: Spine of the Ancient Tree
Chapter 323: Spine of the Ancient Tree
In Jiangyun City, the eye-catching crimson cloud realm came to an end.
Considering that the Cloud Realm did not live up to its name, many wizards left cursing. Some wizards even tried to cause trouble for the people who sold potions that disguised the scent of insects, but ended up in a mess.
Ivan and his group gained the most, and no one dared to trouble them, so they returned to the valley where they lived.
During this trip to the Cloud Realm, not to mention Ivan's own gains, the Silkworm Queen also obtained the 'Power of the King', the Space Power Crystal and the Blood-colored Bead from Locke, one copy each, which gradually increased its strength and is expected to reach the peak of level three.
After Xiangdie took the blood-colored bead bestowed by Lord Black Scythe himself, she began to transform not long after coming out of the Cloud Realm. Once the transformation is successful, it is estimated that she will be able to break the boundary of the third-level life.
In fact, Ze Yi also went to Yunjing this time.
Since it cannot shrink in size, it enters alone. However, its strength is already at the peak of level three, so it can't go any further and its gains can only be said to be minimal.
After returning to the valley, Ivan specially checked the body of the swamp ant. According to the metamorphosis experience he got from the Black Scythe Lord, the swamp ant was still far from reaching the requirements of the fourth level of metamorphosis.
"Solomon and Doug are right. Level 4 is a great transformation of life. This transformation is a combination of blood, talent, accumulation, understanding, fate, luck, etc. Each factor is indispensable. Only in this way can there be a chance of transformation into a level 4 life.
If the Marsh Ant wants to advance to level four, it must first break away from its puppet body, otherwise there is no chance of success."
Ivan looked at Ze Yi gently. Ze Yi had worked hard in the past, so he didn't mind removing Ze Yi's puppet status.
However, the advanced puppet heart comes from the "Sacred Heart of Pulling Silk", and he has no means to remove it now.
Even if the puppet body was removed, based on his experience, the swamp ant would have less than a 10% chance of success, which was worse than the Black Scythe Lord's first level 4 transformation.
"Wizard Ivan, is there any problem?" Ze Yi was a little scared by his gaze and asked in a low voice.
"No problem. Go out and call Rona for me." Ivan didn't say much. He was always reluctant to talk about things that were uncertain.
After a while, Rona came into the room.
"How do you think it's going?" Ivan asked.
"Rona has already made up her mind to be promoted to a formal wizard directly. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I haven't come to report it. I hope the mentor can understand." Rona took a deep breath and expressed her thoughts.
"That's fine. The time will be set for tomorrow. Remember to tell Mien." Ivan didn't say much.
The apprentice and the wizard are two completely different levels. Only the apprentice in agony knows clearly what is in his heart. He doesn't quite understand, but expresses respect for his disciple's choice.
Outside the door, Rona walked out of the room and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She gestured to her sister Nora, who was not far away, to indicate that everything was going well.
"Don't think about it anymore."
"No, only by becoming a formal wizard can you have a brighter future."
Seeing that her sister Rona had made up her mind, Nora opened her mouth. Even though she wanted to object and wanted her sister to follow the mentor's suggestion, she finally stopped trying to persuade her.
She has said everything that needs to be said.
My sister is not without reason. For an apprentice on the Moon Peninsula, being able to become a formal wizard is already a blessing from heaven. We must seize every opportunity and worry about other things after we become wizards.
a new day.
In the valley, Ivan set up a simple black magic wind and fire formation on the open space. A large number of magic stones were poured around in an orderly manner, making the people around him eyelids twitch.
"Rona, you go first."
Under his instructions, Rona climbed onto the platform and sat cross-legged in the center of the platform.
After a while, the rune magic formation was activated.
Ivan used the Black Magic Wind and Fire Beads to assist in his promotion. A few hours later, with the embellishment of unpredictable elemental visions, a formal wizard emerged.
"Okay, come down, it's time to go to Mien."
In a trance, Rona heard the calm voice of her mentor, which woke her up as if from a dream.
Everything is true!
I was really promoted from an apprentice to a formal wizard. I was not dreaming. I never thought that I could cross the threshold that was like an insurmountable chasm so easily.
Of course she was very happy, but she couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Rona thanked her mentor with mixed feelings and gave her seat to Mien who had been waiting for a long time.
Not long after, Mien also became a first-level wizard, and it was a natural process.
"Oh! I was so careless." Looking at Mien who was thanking her profusely, Rona felt really regretful.
If she had known that her mentor was so tyrannical, she should have listened to his advice. It was too late to say anything now, and the joy brought by her promotion suddenly did not seem so strong.
For Ivan, helping the two get promoted was just a matter of convenience and not worth mentioning.
……
Two days later, Ivan appeared in the Gunther Rift Valley with Jenny and the Swamp Ant. Since the Fragrant Butterfly was still in the process of metamorphosis and the Queen Silkworm also needed to adapt to the growth in strength, he left the others in the valley.
"That is Ancient Tree Ridge Academy."
Flying over the steep mountain wall, Ivan overlooked the scenery in the Gunther Rift Valley and pointed to a short mountain that looked like a tree stump and said.
This was his second time here. The previous time, he followed Solomon's advice and came here to look for an opportunity to break through the Knight. The result did not disappoint him.
"Why don't I just sneak in? I don't have to deal with those people and be controlled by them." Jenny suggested.
Compared to paying a visit, she would rather play the role of "Eastern Capital Phantom Thief" again, confident that she can do it without anyone knowing.
"No, no, don't underestimate any ancient wizarding academy." Ivan was educated after all, and he didn't want to use stealing as a habit unless it was absolutely necessary.
There is no grudge between the two parties, so we should always use courtesy before force.
Besides, any problem that can be solved with magic stones is not a big problem.
Jenny could only obey his advice.
The swamp ant spread its wings and flew, landing lightly in front of the "Ancient Tree Mountain".
It can be seen that the material of the Ancient Tree Mountain is like wood but not wood, like stone but not stone, and the concentration of plant particles around it is much higher than other places. However, the surrounding area is bare, with no vegetation growing, which is undoubtedly not in line with common sense.
Like most wizard academies, the Spine of Ancient Trees is shrouded in a thick protective array.
"He who comes is stopped."
Along with slight sounds from the ground, green seedlings broke through the soil and grew upwards. In a moment, they turned into emerald green magic plants more than three meters high. A golden flower emerged from the top of the magic plant. The petals were like soft swords, and the facial features on the flower were distinct.
Human-faced sword chrysanthemum.
A name popped up in Ivan's mind. This is a mutated demonic plant, and also a rare intelligent plant.
There is a whole team of them, all of which are second-level creatures. They serve as the guardians of the academy, which is enough to show that the Spine of Ancient Trees is extraordinary and deserves the title of the first academy of Moon Clamp.
"This is the ridge of the ancient tree. We can't go any further."
"I'm Ivan Marichatton from the Mona Ant Lodge. I'm here to visit you today for something." Ivan casually threw some magic stones over as a tip for the guardian, and explained his purpose.
"Dean Marichatton, please wait a moment, we will go and inform you right away." The person on the opposite side was not an ordinary person, so the guardian did not dare to neglect him.
Inside Ancient Tree Spine Academy, as the news was announced, it caused quite a stir.
It is well known that the college does not like outsiders.
The visitor's identity was not ordinary, and the deans could not treat him carelessly. The two deans in charge of the college immediately went out to greet him and summoned someone to question him.
Behind the passage, Tim hurried over and met the two deans.
"Tim, I heard that you have dealt with the wizard Evan Marichatton. Tell me what you think." Dean Wright asked hurriedly.
"He once helped our fleet in Luoguang City in the Blood Corridor. This gentleman is now very powerful. His Black Magic Wind and Fire Formation appeared in Dongdu and shook the entire China Continent. He has also become an important elder of the Dongdu Enchanting Guild. It is estimated that other elders will find it difficult to match him."
When asked, Tim answered truthfully that he didn't actually know much.
"So it's him. People like him are probably well-known at the highest level." Another dean, Adolf, looked enlightened, and the silver beard on his old face trembled.
"In any case, we can't just turn them away."
"Then let's go and meet him. I hope he won't make things difficult for us."
Wright nodded helplessly, asked Tim a few more questions, and then opened the entrance and exit of Ancient Tree Mountain.
