Gu Shi once again carried the magic lamp into the dark tunnel and returned to where he had originally landed.
When he took out his staff to cast the flying spell on himself, Gu Shi realized something was wrong. Why did his magic power suddenly increase a lot?
Only then did Gu Shi realize that he had actually broken through to the advanced fifth level without realizing it.
He thought about it for a while and realized that the breakthrough should have happened when he turned into a tree shape and absorbed the liquid. It seemed that the feeling of the branches and leaves stretching was a sign of a breakthrough.
Gu Shi wasn't very familiar with his tree form, and had assumed the feeling he'd just felt was due to absorbing the mysterious liquid in the silver cup. Was it also due to the effects of the breakthrough? No wonder he'd been so intoxicated just now.
After clarifying this, Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief. His abnormal condition just now finally had a reasonable explanation.
After putting away the staff, Gu Shi slowly flew up.
After walking through the mossy passage for a while, Gu Shi looked up and saw some light coming in from above. He had returned to the top of the passage.
After crawling out of the big tree, Gu Shi looked at the hole he had cut, thought for a while, and took out the bowl that was used to hold the mysterious liquid.
This incision would be too obvious if left alone. Gu Shi didn't want the underground cave to be discovered by monsters or humans in the future, so it would be better to deal with it.
It just so happened that the liquids that Gu Shi had used for experiments before had nowhere to go. After all, they were something to be eaten. After this part of the liquid was used to "wash his hands", he found it difficult to swallow it, so it just happened to come in handy here.
Gu Shi carefully poured the liquid in the bowl onto the cut. Within a few seconds, the tree completely absorbed it. Under the effect of the liquid, the gap in front of him was quickly filled.
Gu Shi took back the unused liquid and clapped his hands in relief, "Done."
After taking another look at the giant tree, Gu Shi turned and left.
After finding a relatively flat and open place, Gu Shi used props to summon the griffin that he had released a long time ago.
No one knew where the griffin had gone during this period. When it appeared in front of Gu Shi, the whole beast was gray, and compared to its previous appearance, it was several shades darker.
Gu Shi shouted in surprise, "Oh my God, are you going to dig coal?"
The griffin seemed to know that it didn't look very good now. It dug the ground with its claws twice in embarrassment and turned its head away, not daring to look at Gu Shi.
Gu Shi sighed helplessly, took the griffin to a nearby stream, and treated it a little.
The main reason is that there is no place nearby that is big enough for the griffin to take a bath. Otherwise, the fastest way would be to just throw it into the water and brush it.
After cleaning the area where he was mainly riding, Gu Shi set out on his return journey.
Unfortunately, there were no suitable places for the griffin to bathe at the stops on the way back, and Gu Shi did not plan to find a place specifically for it to bathe.
So when they returned to Congleton, the griffin still looked black.
When Gu Shi led it back to the Xilin rental store, he was still a little nervous. He wondered if the trainer would think that he was using it as a laborer.
As a result, the griffin's trainer, upon seeing its state, immediately said, "Have you been out wandering around again? I've told you countless times, you're a griffin, a griffin! Even if you paint yourself black, there's no way you can be with that bird!!"
After scolding the griffin, the trainer turned around and said to Gu Shi with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, guest, it suffered a little emotional setback before, so it behaved in this strange way.
I'm really sorry to have caused you any trouble. How about this: I'll give you a 20% discount on this fee as compensation."
Gu Shi understood something from the trainer's words just now. He didn't intend to dwell on it and nodded readily.
After coming out of the rental house, Gu Shi returned to the Mage Tower.
Gu Shi originally wanted to tell Field that he was back, but after looking around, he didn't see him in the usual places. It seemed that he was busy.
In that case, Gu Shi didn't want to disturb him and went back to his room.
Seeing Shufeng sleeping obediently in the nest, Gu Shi leaned over and touched its feathers, "Are you still sleeping? I don't know when you will wake up."
Since being promoted to the first level, Shufeng's growth rate has been unexpectedly fast. In addition, Gu Shi spared no expense in its training, feeding it with all kinds of good things in turn. Not long ago, it was promoted to the third level.
Being promoted to the third level means that Shuofeng is not far from its first molting.
Shuofeng now sleeps all day to accumulate strength for its molting. In order to ensure that Shuofeng can obtain sufficient wind magic power, Gu Shi specially placed a whole circle of high-level wind-type magic crystals around its nest.
In the evening, Gu Shi met Field in the restaurant.
Field looked at Gu Shi and asked, "You're back. It looks like you've found what you wanted?"
When Gu Shi asked Field for leave, he said that his elders accidentally discovered a place where there was a treasure that would be of great benefit to Gu Shi, so he decided to go out for a trip.
Gu Shi nodded, "Well, teacher, you see, I have successfully advanced a small level this time."
Then Gu Shi took out a bottle of mysterious liquid from the space ring and handed it to Field. This was another one he had packed later.
"Teacher, please help me find out what this is. I don't know where this liquid comes from."
Field took the bottle, opened the lid and took a look. When he saw the glittering liquid inside, he had an answer in his mind.
Field casually picked up a clean spoon and poked the liquid in the bottle. After seeing the dent in the liquid, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Fountain of Life."
"The Fountain of Life?"
"Well, according to records, this is a very rare treasure, and it has many uses, so I won't introduce them one by one.
The book is in the library on the second floor. If you want to know more, go find it and read it yourself."
As he spoke, Field capped the bottle in his hand and returned it to Gu Shi, then took out a piece of paper, wrote down the location of the books, and handed it to him.
Gu Shi put these things away and said, "Thank you, teacher."
