Chapter 295: Stir-fried Deer Head Spirit Tree Heart, Snow Owl Rune Power
The raging fire burned the death-like deer-headed spirit, black smoke billowed, and the ancient magic power overflowing from its body formed a violent torrent of spells, which continuously impacted the entire forest in a circular shape.
Boom! Celine's moonlight shield was shattered, her internal organs were severely damaged, blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, and she struggled to fly above the forest, with a silver-white staff inlaid with moonstone in her hand.
Immediately, a ray of bright moonlight shot out from the silver staff and fell into a spring deep in the forest.
Ye Zhi used the Eagle Eye technique and saw that the well, which had been dried up, was overflowing with clear mountain spring water again, which contained a breath of order and gentle magic power.
This purified Moon Well filled the gap in the magic network in the realm of creation, generating an invisible gravitational force that allowed the ancient magic to return to the magic network.
The tremors in the Lune Forest gradually subsided.
Celine landed slowly and exhaled slowly.
I recalled the scene where Ye Zhi shot the deer-headed demon just now.
Xilin's eyes flickered, she calmed down the shock in her heart, nodded slightly towards Ye Zhi, and said:
"I didn't expect you to have such amazing archery skills... I am so grateful!"
If Ye Zhi had not seen through the weakness of the Deer-Headed Demon and hit the heart of the tree with the Arrow of the Fiery Sun, this ancient monster would have continued to revive, with unpredictable consequences.
Celine was glad that she had asked Yeats to go with her, but at the same time she couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
The advanced combat skills and keen judgment displayed by Ye Zhi were beyond her expectations!
"You're welcome, just take what you need."
Ye Zhi waved his hand gently and came to the charred remains of the Deer-Headed Spirit. He waved his hand to disperse the thick smoke, drew his sword and cut open the withered body of the Deer-Headed Spirit. He saw a emerald green and crystal heart of the tree, which was still intact and exuded an ancient magical breath.
Yeats was delighted to see the prey.
Only the ancient deer-headed spirit can give birth to this magical core called [Heart of the Forest], which can grant it the ability to revive continuously.
And this heart of the forest is an excellent tonic for the snowy owl, who is good at magic. Simply adding this tree heart into the preparation process of [Deer-Head Spirit Potion] can greatly enhance the efficacy of the medicine.
Not only can it help the Snow Owl break through the fifth ring and become an emperor-level magic beast, it can also allow it to master the [ancient magic] that even master-level magicians find difficult to comprehend! "The main ingredient of the [Deer-Head Spirit Magic Potion] is the 'Deer-Head Spirit's Cursed Horn'."
Ye Zhi looked at the withered antlers of the Deer-Headed Spirit and murmured:
"This cursed horn can be ground into powder and combined with honey, blood vine and other medicinal materials to make a magic potion... I can use food feasting to cook the cursed horn and tree heart of the deer-headed spirit and give it the effect of a magic potion!"
Xilin was stunned when she heard Ye Zhi's mumbling. She asked blankly, "Sir Ye Zhi, are you saying that you want to use the heart of the Deer-Headed Spirit to cook dishes?"
"Any questions?" Yeats asked.
Celine had a subtle look on her face, thinking that the heart of the leopard's tree could be sold at a high price of at least 10,000 gold coins at the auction house, and it would be a top-notch item for a wizard who was studying ancient magic.
Use it to cook? Let’s not talk about whether this thing is edible or not. This is not something a normal person can do! Of course, the Chosen One cannot understand it with common sense, and Yeats must have his considerations.
Xilin shook her head and said seriously:
"According to the terms of the negotiation, I will give you the Moon Pig Fang and other rewards as soon as possible... As for the Moon God's blessing, please stay for a day until tomorrow's full moon night. I will be able to communicate with the Moon God better, and you will have a greater chance of gaining her attention then."
The Moon Pig Potion is related to Ye Zhi's promotion to the fifth ring in the 'Knight' profession.
The Five Rings Knight who was promoted with the Moon Pig Potion is called the Moonlight Knight and gains power through faith in the Moon God.
However, the divinity in Yezhi's body is complex and diverse, and his career path is also affected. Yezhi's goal is not to simply become a [Moonlight Knight] who believes in moonlight, but a [Moon Hunter Knight] who follows both hunting and moonlight.
【Moonlight Knight】 is known for his healing abilities.
[Moon Hunter Knights] focus on offense, emphasizing archery and high mobility. Among the elves, there are some female archers riding on the white tiger of the Moon God, who are Moon Hunter Knights.
Yeats remembered that this world had a tradition of offering sacrifices to the gods.
Previously, I presented flying chess to the Black Knight who invented chess, and also gained some benefits from it.
Although the Moon Goddess Well is not the altar of the Moon Goddess, it can also serve as a means of communicating with the Moon Goddess. Ye Zhi plans to take this opportunity to hug the Moon Goddess's thigh.
Ye Zhi thought to himself, "On a full-moon night, offer moon cakes to the Moon Goddess... and hopefully you'll receive even more powerful blessings!"
As for the present, Ye Zhi decided to return to the Mushroom House first, borrow the alchemy room, and use the materials of the Deer Head Spirit to cook a potion for the Snow Owl to ascend! *On the way back to the Mushroom House, the Moon Pig, who witnessed Ye Zhi's performance, seemed particularly eager.
Yuezhu is very human. Faced with Ye Zhi, who has the power to shoot and kill the Deer-Headed Spirit, he knows that he has offended him and must find a way to make amends.
So, the Moon Pig even lowered its head and motioned Ye Zhi to get on it, and let it serve as Ye Zhi's temporary mount.
Even though Celine was born into a noble family and was elegant and calm, she failed to control her facial expression at this moment, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
——I provide you with good food and drink, but you never appreciate it. Now that we have only met for a short time, you are already vying to be Yeats' mount?
Ye Zhi looked up at the Moon Pig, the term "Boar Rider" popped up in his mind. He shook his head, indicating that he would not accept the mount, and finally relied on the flying technique to return to the Mushroom House.
The 1.5-meter-tall priestess Fei held an oak staff that was taller than her. Seeing Ye Zhi and his group return safely, she breathed a sigh of relief and said in a whisper, "I watched your battle... It was very dangerous. Fortunately, I had the help of Mr. Ye Zhi... Thank you very much!"
"This is a token of my love for the Natural Cult."
Fay waved her magic wand, and a group of butterflies dragged a basket of flowers and slowly flew in front of Yeats.
In the flower basket was a small bottle of beautiful crystal dust and an oak leaf that looked like it was made of jade.
"【Fairy Dust】 is a valuable healing medicine. It can even heal the injuries of a Five Rings hero." Priest Fei said softly:
"And this, the Emerald Oak Leaf, is a token of the Natural Cult... With it, when you meet a druid from the Natural Cult in the future, they will not be hostile to you."
Nature cults live far away from human habitation and are very xenophobic. Some of them are hostile to those who enter the forest.
Possessing the token of the Natural Cult is to tell them that you are one of us, and communication will become more convenient.
Yeats accepted the two gifts of thanks calmly.
I am very good at healing spells, so I hardly ever use this [Fairy Dust]. But I can give it to Snowy Owl's teacher Blueberry. After all, this dust can only be produced by powerful fairies, so it will be of great benefit to a little fairy like Blueberry.
"Priest Fei, I would like to borrow your kitchen. Is it possible?" Ye Zhi asked politely.
Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "But I only have an alchemy room here, not a kitchen..."
"It's okay." Ye Zhi smiled, "The alchemy room is not much different from the kitchen."
Faye:? It’s a huge difference, okay!
"What... do you want to do with the alchemy room?" Fei asked nervously.
Ye Zhi laughed heartily and said, "Cook a delicious dish, [Stir-fried Deer Head Spirit Tree Heart]!"
Faye's brain froze and she felt a little confused.
Delicious food? Stir-fried pilose stalks? Is this a delicacy from hell?!
*First floor, alchemy room.
The flames burned the alchemical cauldron, and a fresh plant fragrance wafted from the pot. Ye Zhi used his skillful knife skills to cut the emerald-colored heart of the leopard tree into slices, and occasionally looked at the situation in the pot.
Fay and Celine watched Yeats's steps intently, feeling both surprised and amazed.
Judging from his technique, Yeats is obviously proficient in how to make potions, and his attainments are quite impressive!
But he was indeed going there for cooking, and the sliced tree core was enough to prove it.
Faye was worried about disturbing Yeats, but she couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"I...I...would like to ask, what is brewing in this pot? Why is there such a strong magical fluctuation?"
“It’s [resin].”
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "I plan to use the alchemical cauldron to refine the resin of the Deer Head Spirit, and then use its resin to fry its tree heart... This way, not only can the effect of the meal be increased, but the taste can also be improved!"
Faye and Celine's mouths dropped open.
The resin of the leopard spirit is indeed a precious material for potions, but Yeats's method of using it to stir-fry the tree heart is simply unheard of!
Gray was already used to Ye Zhi's shocking actions. She glanced at the two priests who looked shocked and said in a gentle voice, "Ye Zhi is a very powerful food chef, and his attainments in potions are also very strong... What he is doing now is like... uh, stir-frying broccoli with lard!"
Gray made a wonderful analogy and nodded, "The principle of frying the tree heart with deer head resin is similar to that dish. I think you can understand it now, right?"
Faye and Celine looked at each other, and seeing the complicated looks in each other's eyes, the same thought arose in their minds.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
It was totally incomprehensible! Soon, Ye Zhi started a big fire and began to fry the heart of the Deer Head Spirit tree. He also ground the antlers of the Deer Head Spirit into powder and added it to the pot like salt.
As she watched, Faye, who was good at potions, gradually figured out some clues.
Resin, the cursed horn of the leprechaun... these are the classic recipes of the [leprechaun potion]. Adding the tree heart will double the effect of the potion.
Although Yeats seems to be wasting materials, in fact his method is similar to that of refining medicine.
Even Faye couldn't understand Yeats's methods of controlling the medicinal properties of the ingredients, such as controlling fire, temperature, and balancing magic power, and she couldn't help but be shocked.
Ye Zhi probably possesses master-level attainments in potions, and also has a unique method of refining potions!
And wouldn't his attainments in food be higher than his attainments in potions?
Faye couldn't imagine it, and looked at Yeats in horror, feeling surprised.
There is an obvious benefit to using the art of food feasting to make potions, which is that it will become easier to digest the potions.
The five-ring potion requires months or years to fully digest the power contained in it.
And with Ye Zhi's method... I'm afraid the potion can be digested in just a moment!
Faye was slightly dazed, and felt as if a door to a new world was slowly opening before her eyes.
At this time, Ye Zhi began to take the food out of the pot and put it on the plate.
[Stir-fried Deer Head Spirit Heart: Five stars. This vegetarian dish is made from the heart, resin, and curse horn of the Deer Head Spirit. It contains ancient magic power, can stimulate the potential of the mage, and help the comprehension of ancient magic.]
The tree heart on the plate is green and attractive, covered with a layer of oily sheen, exuding a fresh fragrance and a majestic magical aura.
Faye and Celine looked at the dish carefully, their pupils contracted, and their worldviews turned upside down.
——The smell of this dish is actually similar to the [Deer-Headed Spirit Potion]! Considering the complete efficacy of the medicine, this dish cannot be shared. Ye Zhi summoned the Snow Owl, handed the dish to the Snow Owl, stroked its snow-white feathers, and smiled, "Here's a snack for you. After eating, digest the magic power well and strive for a breakthrough in one fell swoop!"
Celine's eyes moved slightly, and she thought, is it possible to upgrade a magical pet to the emperor level with just one dish?
However, with Ye Zhi's incomprehensible way of eating, maybe it is really feasible!
Under the curious and expectant gaze of the crowd, the Snowy Owl pecked at the cabbage in a serious manner, its yellow eyes full of concentration, as if it was engaged in some academic research.
Soon, the tree core in the plate reached the bottom.
The Snowy Owl stood on the table, retracted its feathers, and looked at everyone. The room seemed to fall silent all of a sudden.
Gray hesitated and said, "It looks like... there's no reaction?"
"No hurry, let the snowy owl digest it first."
Yeats handed Snowy Owl a cup of hot tea.
The Snowy Owl pecked at the hot tea, enjoying it very much, and squinted his eyes: "Gu!"
A majestic aura of magic surged from the Snowy Owl's body. The invisible air waves blew away bottles and jars and shook the mushroom house.
Even the moon pigs that were digging for food outside the house suddenly stopped, looked back into the house in fear.
——How could there be the aura of another emperor-level magic beast? ! Everyone was shocked to see that the Snow Owl was surrounded by dark arcane energy. Compared with the blue magic, this dark blue ancient magic was more surging and more abundant!
The ancient magic power is difficult to comprehend even for the masters of arcane magic. But at this moment, the Snow Owl can control and release the magic power freely and take it back into his body.
Glowing runes appeared on its snow-white fur, and their patterns were very different from modern runes.
Xilin is well-informed and said in disbelief: "Ancient runes?!"
Before the birth of the magic network, if one wanted to use the violent ancient magic power, one had to use runes as a medium, and thus the ancient [Rune Runes] were born.
After being promoted to the fifth ring, the Snow Owl has a better grasp of the power of runes, and a new and eye-catching talent has appeared in its panel! [Talent: Ancient Runes: This Warcraft has mastered the ancient magic power to perfection, and can use this magic power in the form of runes. ]
Fei Tan's voice slowly rang out with emotion: "I didn't expect that it could take advantage of the precious opportunity of promotion to gain some enlightenment in runes..."
"As far as I can remember, only one wizard can be compared with this kind of talent!"
Ye Zhi said, "It's definitely not Mr. Candela. His talent is about the same as mine."
The new spell mastered by the Snow Owl is called [Load Sphere]. It is a pure energy ball condensed from ancient magic. It is simple and crude and can cause large-scale explosions.
As the chosen one of the gods of magic, Snow Owl also obtained a new blessing called [Spell Seal].
[Blessing·Spell Seal: In the name of Minerva, temporarily seal the opponent's ability to sense the magic network. It is ineffective against those with higher rings than oneself. ]
The shorter the description, the more effective it is.
The Snow Owl's new blessing effect is extremely powerful and is considered a magical skill in the mage civil war.
The mechanism of this blessing is different from that of [Demon-Sealing Arrow].
The Demon-Sealing Arrow is a "disturbance curse", and the opponent still has the ability to cast spells. The Snow Owl is directly "prohibiting spells". It is a dimensionality reduction attack against some mages who have neither elemental power nor combat skills!
"No wonder mages have to learn some combat skills to defend themselves."
Ye Zhi sighed: "This blessing can even directly block the permission to connect to the magic network!"
Glancing at the Snow Owl happily drinking tea, Ye Zhi stroked his chin and thought to himself, "The Snow Owl has comprehended the power of runes... Doesn't that mean it can not only draw scrolls and sell them, but also make money by carving runes?"
Although Ye Zhi is not short of gold coins due to his status as the Duke of Honeysuckle, the extraordinary world often advocates bartering, and ancient runes can definitely be exchanged for precious materials!
Zuanya couldn't bear to watch it and complained:
"Other people make money to give to their pets, but you let your pets make money to support your family!"
