Chapter 166: Practicing witchcraft, spiritual realm cultivation plan!

Under Lu Feng's gaze, the six oak trees that had absorbed the brilliance of the witchcraft [Nature's Call] were constantly shaking and making strange noises. Some of their branches twisted and tangled into two thick wooden hands, and their roots were pulled out of the soil, twisting and deforming into two thick legs.

In a short moment, the sturdy oak tree transformed into a strong tree demon under the magical light of [Nature's Call].

"Not bad, not bad! I succeeded in casting this first-level magic the first time!"

Looking at the changes in the oak tree in the Qingmu Spiritual Realm, Lu Feng was delighted. Just as he was about to brag about it, he discovered that there was something wrong with the tree demon derived from the oak tree in the spiritual realm.

"Come on, take a few steps!"

Lu Feng frowned slightly and commanded the six tree monsters in the spiritual realm to act according to his orders.

However, the tree demon did not move after hearing Lu Feng's order.

It's as if it has no ears.

Lu Feng immediately noticed something unusual when he heard this command.

Although these six oak tree spirits in the spiritual realm changed from oak trees to tree spirits under the witchcraft light of [Nature's Call], and their life forms changed from plants to those of tree spirits, these six tree spirits of Lu Feng did not develop spiritual intelligence, and their thinking level remained at the level of plants.

No matter what Lu Feng ordered, the plants couldn't understand, and neither could the six tree monsters.

They are not even as good as idiots, they are just a bunch of dead things with the appearance of tree monsters.

"According to the knowledge recorded in the memory crystal, the tree spirits created by the [Nature's Call] sorcery all have basic intelligence. Although they are just like ordinary beasts, they can also act according to the orders of the caster and execute some simple commands! Otherwise, the [Nature's Call] spell would have no meaning to exist!"

Lu Feng recalled the knowledge he had gained from the memory crystal, his heart filled with doubts.

The purpose of the witchcraft [Nature's Call] is to summon tree spirits from trees through casting spells, which can provide some combat assistance to the caster.

If the most basic meaning of existence is lost, there is no need for the spell [Nature's Call] to exist.

Lu Feng understood this, and after a little thought, he began to cast the [Nature Calling] spell again.

If Lu Feng doesn't figure out the reason why the witchcraft [Call of Nature] failed, the time he spent on practicing the witchcraft [Call of Nature] in the past month will be wasted.

The witchcraft light of [Nature's Call] fell again and again, and the oak trees in the forest changed their shapes under Lu Feng's spell and turned into tree monsters.

Failed, failed again!

All failed without exception!

The tree monsters were unable to understand commands and were like dead objects.

Although Lu Feng felt a little frustrated after failing again and again, his eyes became brighter.

"I cast the spell again and again, and there is no problem with my casting process. Although there are some minor flaws in the process of the oak's transformation, there is no big problem. The only problem is the last step of [Call of Nature]!" Lu Feng murmured to himself.

Vaguely grasped the key to the failure of casting [Call of Nature].

After repeated failures, Lu Feng mobilized the power of Qingmu Spirit Realm and carefully observed the casting process.

From the time witchcraft condensed the light to the time the oak accepted the witchcraft light and transformed its own life form, Lu Feng did not notice any problems in this process.

Every time I cast a spell, I fail at the last step.

"Could it be that the final step of the [Nature Calling] sorcery is the key to giving the Oak Tree Demon, who has changed his form, a beast-like intelligence? But I cast the spell without error, so why did it fail?"

Lu Feng felt that this involved some special power that he was not able to observe for the time being.

While thinking, Lu Feng walked out of the lush green tower and found a lush forest on the land under the tower.

Lu Feng suspected that it was a problem with Qingmu Lingjing.

I plan to do another control experiment to find the key to the problem.

The forest chosen by Lu Feng grows on the land formed by the leaves of the energy-absorbing ancient trees. Under the remaining shade of the energy-absorbing ancient trees, it grows vibrantly and has a long life.

The trees in the forest are all oak trees, and they grow better than the forest in Lu Feng’s Qingmu Spirit Realm.

Floating above the woods, Lu Feng once again cast the first-level witchcraft [Call of Nature].

Mental power poured into the witchcraft model in the spiritual space, and a vibrant emerald green natural aura fell from Lu Feng's hands and poured into the six oak trees that Lu Feng had selected in advance.

Click, click, click!

Under the catalysis of natural aura, the life forms of the six oak trees changed, they grew strong hands and feet, and became tree monsters.

The oak tree's life form was about to complete its transformation. Lu Feng widened his eyes and watched the final step of the [Nature's Call] witchcraft.

While guiding the witchcraft light of [Nature's Call], the spiritual power penetrated into the body of the tree demon, observing the final step of the tree demon's formation.

Wait a moment.

After a moment, the transformed oak tree demon absorbed all the witchcraft aura of [Nature's Call], and some subtle changes occurred in its torso.

Before Lu Feng noticed anything unusual, the six oak tree monsters gained some faint consciousness, as confused as newborn babies.

Under Lu Feng's gaze, these conscious oak tree spirits slowly moved their bodies and carefully explored the strange world around them.

"What on earth is going on here?"

Looking at the oak tree demon moving in the woods, Lu Feng was filled with confusion.

After some observation, Lu Feng found nothing unusual.

The absence of any abnormality made Lu Feng even more confused.

Confused, Lu Feng took out the empty shell of the tree demon that had completed its transformation in the Qingmu Spirit Realm, placed it in the woods, and cast the [Nature Calling] spell on them again.

This time, after the aura of the [Nature's Call] witchcraft dissipated, a fragile consciousness was born again in the empty shell of the tree demon.

Outside the Qingmu Spirit Realm, his first-level witchcraft [Nature Calling] was successful.

Lu Feng looked up at the sky, groaned, and guessed:

"Other factors can basically be ruled out. The only thing is that the world has changed. The failure of witchcraft should be due to this!"

"It seems that my Qingmu Spirit Realm is still lacking certain characteristics, and it is unable to give the Oak Tree Demon spiritual intelligence. There are so many creatures in the Spirit Realm, but no new life has been born until now. Maybe it is because of this."

This question probably involves the mystery of soul changes, which is a blind spot in knowledge that Lu Feng has never touched upon.

Lu Feng thought about it and realized that with his current strength, there was no solution at all.

Fortunately, Lu Feng was not a stubborn person who would dwell on a rut. He simply put aside the problems that could not be solved now and planned to think about these things again after his strength improved and he reached a certain level.

Maybe, by that time, these difficult problems will become simple and easy to solve.

Putting aside his doubts, Lu Feng took out all the empty shells of the tree demon in the Qingmu Spirit Realm, placed them in the outside world, and cast the [Nature's Call] witchcraft again.

After being acted upon by witchcraft again, these empty shells of tree demons indeed regained a faint consciousness.

Although his intelligence is relatively low, it is a good start. He can understand some of Lu Feng's commands, and with gradual training, he can be of some use.

By the time Lu Feng finished his work, it was already the next morning.

Lu Feng worked hard and counted them. He found that he had created a total of seventy-three tree monsters.

They generally have the strength of a great knight, and their physical strength is comparable to that of a first-class wizard apprentice.

"However, a tree demon of this strength is still too useless. Although it can grow, its potential is limited. When wizards use this magic, they usually summon a large number of tree demons with one move, forming a scale to clear out the small fish, or select powerful demonized trees to summon elite tree demons. The summoned tree demons can exist as long as they don't die, and slowly improve. Elite-level tree demons have a high chance of growing into formal wizard-level combat power, which is really good for guarding the house."

Lu Feng analyzed the pros and cons of [Nature's Call] and felt that this witchcraft was similar to the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers cultivated by his Fire Dragon Divine Weapon Spell.

If you study this witchcraft carefully, you will have a bright future.

With proficiency and ability to change the quality of trees used to make tree spirits, you will be able to raise a large army of tree spirits in time.

However, these have some overlap in functions with the Fire Dragon Divine Weapon Spell that Lu Feng practices, so Lu Feng does not intend to spend too much time on this witchcraft for the time being.

In the following period of time, when Lu Feng was free, he would go to the woods outside the verdant tower to transform tree monsters until he mastered [Call of Nature].

For this, Lu Feng spent another half a month.

A byproduct of the practice was the growth of a lush green forest in the center of the Qingmu Spiritual Realm, which was a beautiful sight.

These tree monsters usually take root in the form of trees under the shade of the young energy-absorbing ancient trees, absorbing the scent of plants and trees emitted by the energy-absorbing ancient trees and growing healthily.

The Wood Spirit Vein is also connected to these tree spirits, exchanging auras and achieving mutual benefit.

If Lu Feng needs it, just give the order.

These tree demons will also pull out roots from the soil and transform into powerful tree demon warriors to show their violent side to the enemy.

With Lu Feng's current realm, the strength and status of these tree monsters may not be of any use in battle, but they are a good supplement to the developing Qingmu Spiritual Realm, enriching the species diversity in the spiritual realm.

It is beneficial to the evolution and development of the wood spirit vein.

After practicing [Call of Nature] to a certain degree, Lu Feng began to practice the other two first-level witchcrafts.

Offensive sorcery [Nature's Wrath] and defensive sorcery [Thorn Shield].

With the idea of ​​stacking armor to save his life, Lu Feng first began to practice [Thorn Shield], and then [Wrath of Nature].

These two witchcrafts are simpler and purer than [Nature's Call]. After building the witchcraft model, it is time to practice casting spells repeatedly. Once you are proficient, you can cast spells at the fastest speed at any time, and then you have completed your training.

To practice, you need to accumulate time.

Nothing major happened in the Green Tower for the time being, so Lu Feng was happy to have some free time.

I am busy with the work of the Green Tower during the day, practice witchcraft when I am free, and practice Taibai Gengjin sword energy at night.

After the first batch of copper ingots and iron ingots were consumed, Lu Feng purchased four more batches of metal ingots at the rate of one batch every half a month.

It has to be said that the Trudo continent is vast, and there are also various powerful wizard organizations that have opened up other dimensions through the plane gates, so the resources are abundant.

The little copper and iron metals consumed by Lu Feng are probably not even as much as a drop of water in the ocean.

With the accumulation of massive amounts of gold energy, Lu Feng's progress in the restriction of the Taibai Gengjin Sword Qi Spirit Realm has steadily increased. In more than two months, Lu Feng has advanced the restriction of the gold spirit vein to 40%.

At the same time, he also successfully cultivated [Shield of Thorns] and [Wrath of Nature] and could use them skillfully.

"Now I have to test the defensive ability of [Thorn Shield] and the offensive ability of [Nature's Wrath]. At least I have to have a clear idea of ​​them so that I can use them freely when facing the enemy!" Lu Feng muttered to himself.

The spirit surged, and the dark green witchcraft aura around Lu Feng surged, condensing into a spherical light shield covered with spikes. The spherical light shield was heavy and thick, and it felt indestructible. The hideous spikes on the light shield grew wildly, flashing a faint green light, and it was easy to mess with at first glance.

Lu Feng stood still. Not far from him, a group of Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers lined up in battle formation, their auras interconnected, as if they were a whole.

"Come on, attack!"

At Lu Feng's command, the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers in the distance combined their magic power into one, condensing into a red dragon, roaring ferociously, and rushing towards where Lu Feng was.

Fire Dragon Flame Cannon!

The scarlet fire dragon, urged by the Fire Dragon Taoist Soldier, shot out like a cannonball and hit the thorn shield beside Lu Feng in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the place where Lu Feng was was covered by dust, smoke and flames.

In the contest between the scarlet flame and the dark green thorn shield, although the Fire Dragon Flame Cannon had the advantage in attributes, it still could not break through Lu Feng's thorn shield. After a few minutes, the smoke dissipated, the scarlet flame disappeared, and the thorn shield beside Lu Feng only dimmed by 30%.

The shield was dim, but the hideous spikes on the thorn shield were shining brightly. If Lu Feng hadn't controlled it, these spikes would have automatically fired and shot the attacking Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers into sieves.

"The combined attack of the Fire Dragon Dao Soldier and the Fire Dragon Flame Cannon is probably at the level of a formal wizard who has just completed meditation training. This time, my thorn shield can block three or four such attacks. The counterattack of the thorn spikes is probably also at the attack level of an ordinary formal wizard. Automatic counterattacks should also give the enemy a surprise!"

After Lu Feng finished experimenting with the thorn shield, he put away the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers and called out the Stone Turtle.

He put on a thorn shield, defended himself against the radiant light of the Wu Earth Mountain Seal magic weapon, then mobilized his mental power to condense a [Wrath of Nature], and without hesitation smashed it towards the stone turtle.

The angry power from nature condenses into black-green flames.

boom!

Flames shot up into the sky and blazes rose.

Listening to the stone turtle with the Wu Earth Mountain Seal, its body burning with flames, it walked out safely from the dark green wrath of nature.

The flames dissipated, the thorn shield had completely dissipated, and the condensed spikes automatically shot towards Lu Feng. Fortunately, this was the shield witchcraft cast by Lu Feng, and he had good control. The spikes flew halfway in the air and dissipated into the air under Lu Feng's control.

"The Nature's Wrath I unleashed was quite powerful, enough to break the defense of the Thorn Shield! The Thorn Shield used part of its power to counterattack the spikes, which dispersed some of the shield's defense. But I still have the protective aura of the Wu Earth Mountain Seal, so I don't lack the Thorn Shield's defense, which is enough!"

Lu Feng nodded, very satisfied with the results of the magic experiment.

"I just don't know if I can withstand the attack of a second-level wizard even if I have used all my trump cards, including the Wu Earth Mountain Seal, the Fire Dragon Armor, the Thorn Shield, the Ancient Tree Body, and the power of the Green Wood Spirit Realm."

Although Lu Feng really wanted to ask Ms. Natasha to help him with an experiment, it was impossible for him to reveal all his cards in front of Ms. Natasha, so he put the idea out of his mind after thinking about it.

All in all, Lu Feng felt that now that he had played all his cards, he should be able to move freely in the realm of a first-level formal wizard. If he were to encounter an attack from a second-level wizard, he should be able to resist for a while, save his life, and have a chance to escape.

"Although I have some trump cards in my hand, it is not the time to be arrogant. There are countless wizards in the [Botanical Garden] who are more powerful than me. The first-level formal wizard is only the bottom of the [Botanical Garden]. I have just reached the threshold to join the Botanical Garden. There is still a long way to go in the future."

Lu Feng introspected himself, staying rational at all times, and not daring to be proud of his small achievements.

The wizarding world is too vast. Even though a first-level official wizard has become extraordinary and has stepped out of the ranks of ordinary people, he is still just a toddler on the road to becoming extraordinary.

Thinking about the high-level wizards who have already started the plane war through the artifact plane gate, Lu Feng knows that he is still very insignificant now.

"However, the daily practice of the Green Spiritual Wood Meditation Method, even with the fresh secret medicine made from the leaves of the energy-absorbing ancient tree, has only made my mental power grow very slowly. Although it has improved faster than wizards of the same realm, it is still not as good as the gains brought by the Earthly Immortal Method. My strength growth still depends on the growth of the Green Wood Spiritual Realm."

The practice of Earthly Immortal Techniques and the cultivation of the Qingmu Spirit Realm are still very rough and simple at Lu Feng's current stage. As long as there are enough resources, Lu Feng has not felt the bottleneck for the time being and is making rapid progress.

During the three or four months that he worked in the Green Tower, Lu Feng did not forget to return to the Trandi secondary continent regularly to harvest the condensed incense and vows.

The statues of gods in the ghost realm can easily fill up the incense pool with incense and vows.

Lu Feng harvests regularly and puts them into the Qingmu Spiritual Realm for daily consumption in the spiritual realm and to assist in the absorption of various resources.

During the three or four months of work, Green Tower's salary was never in arrears. At the end of each month, Ms. Natasha would punctually throw the space pocket containing magic stones to Lu Feng.

Every month, 10,000 to 20,000 magic stones are deposited into the account.

Excluding daily consumption, there were also a few magic stones for ordering metal ingots. Now Lu Feng had accumulated 76,000 magic stones in his pocket.

With magic stones in his pocket, Lu Feng began to purchase additional resources for Qingmu Spirit Realm to cultivate and expand Qingmu Spirit Realm.

More than 70,000 magic stones are neither a lot nor a little.

To put it bluntly, even if he bought common metals like copper and iron and filled up his spiritual realm with a radius of more than 700 meters with copper and iron, he still couldn't spend all the more than 70,000 magic stones.

To put it simply, 70,000+ magic stones were only enough for Lu Feng to buy a semi-wizard secret treasure.

Therefore, when purchasing additional resources to cultivate Qingmu Lingjing, Lu Feng also had to consider whether to choose quality or quantity.

Considering his future income, Lu Feng chose to compromise and purchased some basic extraordinary materials of good quality.

The wood spirit vein in the Qingmu Spiritual Realm is far stronger than the fire spirit vein and earth spirit vein due to the existence of energy-absorbing ancient tree seedlings, not to mention the gold and water spirit veins that have not yet taken shape.

Due to the powerful magic formula of the Fire Dragon Divine Weapon Spell, the fire spirit veins that are cultivated are also stronger.

When refining the Earth Spirit Vein, he had the assistance of a stone turtle, took some shortcuts, and his skills were mediocre. The resulting Earth Spirit Vein was the weakest. Although he had refined a broken Earth Crown, which was the same low-grade human-level as the Fire Spirit Vein, it was far less powerful than the Fire Spirit Vein.

When Lu Feng invested resources in cultivation, the first thing he wanted to do was to strengthen the Earth Spirit Vein.

Lu Feng has not forgotten that when the wood was strong and the fire was raging, he was in crisis in the spiritual realm. Thanks to the earth spirit vein that he had slowly cultivated, he was able to suppress the balance of the five elements in the spiritual realm that was about to collapse.

Earth produces metal, metal produces water, and earth produces wood.

Cultivating the Earth Spirit Vein can pave the way for the formation of the Gold Spirit Vein later.

After making the decision, Lu Feng began to look for earth resources of suitable price and quality.

Most of the wizards in the Green Tower are from the School of Nature, and they require more natural resources.

But the Green Tower is proficient in botany and has built many medicine gardens, which produce a large amount of herbs and magical plants every year. In the process of cultivating herbs and magical plants, there is also a great demand for earth-based materials.

After all, plants rarely grow without soil.

Lu Feng was in charge of various affairs of the Green Tower, and had also come across applications from the medicine garden to purchase earth-based materials.

After some searching, Lu Feng found a lot of earth-based materials that were inexpensive, good quality and could be used in large quantities.

"The vibrant soil from the Earth Realm, made through special means, is full of vitality and energy, and can increase the survival rate of herbs and magical plants by 30%."

"The corpse of a small rock monster, an ordinary earth-type monster from the Earth Realm. Its entire body is made of special rocks that have been baptized by the earth element. The corpse contains a rich earth element."

"Artificial earth veins, carefully created by the wizards of the Earth Realm, have achieved 99% of the functions of natural earth veins."

Lu Feng discovered that a large amount of earth-based materials purchased by the Green Tower all came from the Realm of Earth, another wizard organization that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Botanical Garden.

The Realm of Earth is the largest gathering place for wizards of the Earth School on the Trudo continent, and it is also a very peculiar place.

It is said that the first generation of the Earth Realm moved an entire earth elemental plane from outside the wizarding world to the Trudo continent, and created a special place that is very suitable for the practice of wizards of the Earth School.

It has the same effect as the special leaf islands formed by the energy-absorbing ancient trees in the botanical garden today.

Because of the special features of the Earth Realm's original earth elemental plane, in addition to a large number of Earth School wizards, some natural earth elemental creatures will also be born in the Earth Realm, which have extremely high economic value.

The production of various special earth element materials also makes the Realm of Earth the largest origin of earth resources on the Trudo continent.
