Gu Shi lay on the bed in a daze for a long time before he sat up listlessly. He still didn't understand how his race suddenly changed from humans to trees.
Aren’t I my parents’ biological child?
That's impossible. Gu Shi has seen the household registration book of his family. It clearly states that he is his father's son and not an adopted son, so he cannot be an adopted child by his parents.
Could it be that my parents are not human beings either?
That doesn't make sense. They don't have any special abilities like me. What is going on?
The more Gu Shi thought about it, the more confused his mind became. He sighed deeply and chose to put aside the questions about his life experience. No matter what, he admitted that he was his parents' son, and it didn't matter whether he was a human or a tree.
As for the rest, as long as he doesn't say it, others won't know that he is not a human.
Gu Shi picked up the orange-yellow fruit that had emerged from his dream with him from beside his pillow. Remembering Isidore's instructions before he left, he washed the fruit and ate it in no time.
Soon after eating the fruit, Gu Shi felt his magic power increasing rapidly. He immediately sat cross-legged and began to meditate attentively.
Taking advantage of the fruit's influence, Gu Shi's rank was successfully upgraded to the intermediate fourth level, and he had a hunch that he was not far from the advanced fourth level.
Gu Shi complained in his heart: "Why does it feel like Isidore always comes to give me experience? Every time he comes, I break through."
Although he had successfully broken through, Gu Shi's mission was not over yet. He still needed to continue meditating in order to stabilize his magic power. If he allowed his magic power to remain so active, problems would easily arise.
Fortunately, there was no class the next day. Gu Shi didn't even wait until dawn, but took advantage of the night to book a room in the meditation room.
The college's meditation room is manned all day long. He chose the best-equipped one, registered at the front desk, and then quickly went into the meditation room.
The higher the level of the professional, the better the energy. A mid-level professional like him can go without sleep for two or three days without any problem.
It was already noon on the third day when Gu Shi came out again. If he hadn't had a general class in the afternoon, he would have wanted to stay in the meditation room for a while longer.
As I said, Gu Shi's advancement speed was too fast, and the higher the level, the longer the seclusion time required for each breakthrough.
Congleton's class schedule is arranged according to the students' levels. The lower the grade, the fuller the schedule. Most courses will end in the third year, at which point most students have already broken through to the intermediate magician level.
Starting from the fourth grade, students will enter a semi-free-range state. At this stage, they basically have only one or two classes a month. The next six years are completely at the students' disposal, and the college is only responsible for providing resources and platforms.
If a student has a teacher, he or she will study with the teacher. If a student does not have a teacher, he or she can only manage himself or herself.
If Gu Shi's strength had continued to develop at a normal pace, he should have entered the fourth grade at the intermediate level of the fourth stage. He would have had plenty of time to practice and break through on his own, instead of having to come out of the meditation room at a specific time to attend classes like he does now.
After class, Gu went straight to the meditation room and stayed there for two days before returning to the dormitory.
"Where have you been for so long? If I hadn't seen you in class, I would have thought you were missing." Wendel couldn't help but ask when he saw Gu Shi coming back.
Gu Shi replied: "I have made a breakthrough in the past two days. I have been staying in the meditation room."
"You've broken through again? I remember it was only two months ago. You're really... oh, I'm almost used to it."
Wendel originally wanted to say something surprised, but he was used to being surprised by Gu Shi's breakthrough speed. Now when he heard that he had made another breakthrough, he felt no ripples in his heart.
Wendell waved his hands weakly and said, "Forget it, you're back now, take a good rest. I'm going out to practice magic."
Gu Shi replied: "Okay, you should do your best too."
After returning to his room, Gu Shi finally had time to check the two Yunsheng trees that Isidore said he had helped ripen.
Gu Shi looked towards the windowsill and saw that two lush and flourishing small trees had grown out of the two empty pots that contained the seeds of the Yunsheng tree.
Gu Shi was surprised and said, "It really has grown, but why is it so small?"
Gu Shi looked at the two small trees carefully. The trees were only as tall as his forearm, and their branches were full of soybean-sized seeds.
He tentatively reached out and picked a fruit from the tree. The moment he held the fruit in front of his eyes, it suddenly changed to its normal size.
Gu Shi picked a few more fruits and broke off some branches, and finally figured out that as long as the things on the tree were one meter away from the flowerpot, they would return to their original size.
Gu Shi looked around the originally ordinary flowerpot again, but did not find any changes in its appearance, so he reached out and touched it again, trying to determine whether the material of the flowerpot had changed.
The moment his hand touched the flowerpot, he found that Isidore had already transformed the flowerpot and the soil inside.
This flowerpot can isolate the magical fluctuations of the Life-Producing Tree and the prying eyes of outsiders, and even has an invisible function. This ability greatly facilitates Gu Shi to hide the two trees.
After all, according to the appraiser Andre and the information he had read in the past two days, the Yunsheng Tree is a very rare plant, not to mention that its fruit can prolong human life. If these two trees are discovered by others, Gu Shi will not be able to protect them with his current ability.
The soil in the flowerpot contains huge energy after being transformed by Isidore. It can fully provide the nutrients needed for the growth of the life-giving tree. There is no need to provide anything extra for the two trees. They can continue to grow luxuriantly like this.
Furthermore, this soil could also promote the fruiting of the Yunsheng Tree. According to records, a typical Yunsheng Tree would bear fruit once every hundred years, with only one to three fruits each time. However, under the influence of this soil, Gu Shi's two Yunsheng Trees could produce one fruit every month.
Although this would greatly weaken the fruit's ability to extend life, this life-extending effect could only work once for a person, and Gu Shi had already eaten a fruit, so he continued to eat it just to replenish his energy.
After figuring out the functions of the flowerpot and soil, Gu Shi started picking all the fruits on the Yunsheng tree.
Unlike the fruits that will be produced later, the effects of these fruits produced by Isidore are not weakened at all. Each one can extend a person's life by a hundred years.
Gu Shi picked and counted the fruits at the same time. After picking from two trees, he had harvested a total of fifty-eight fruits.
