Chapter 89: Azuchiho's Wizard Tower! (Second update, please subscribe first!)
Although the name of Red Leaf Tower was crude, it was finally decided upon by Lu Feng's insistence.
After inspecting and accepting the Red Leaf Tower, Lu Feng gathered with everyone and held a banquet to celebrate the completion of the Wizard Tower.
It has been several busy months since the start of construction.
Lu Feng was a hands-off boss. Apart from providing drawings and occasional inspections, all other work was done by Annie and others.
Taking advantage of the banquet, Lu Feng sincerely thanked everyone for their efforts.
Everyone drank happily amidst laughter and joy.
After the banquet, Lu Feng began the relocation of the underground laboratory.
In Kane Manor, the underground laboratory that made Lu Feng feel very insecure finally ushered in its final glory.
Carefully and cautiously, Lu Feng made several trips back and forth and finally emptied all the equipment and supplies in the underground laboratory and placed them in the Red Leaf Tower.
In the Red Leaf Tower,
The first floor above ground was used by Lu Feng as a hall for receiving guests and as a place for future wizard apprentices to communicate.
Lu Feng left the second floor above ground as a dormitory for apprentices, and the third floor was used as a public laboratory in the wizard tower.
The fourth to sixth floors above ground are Lu Feng’s private land.
The fourth floor is his personal laboratory, the fifth floor is used for rest and receiving guests, and the sixth floor is arranged as a training hall, which is also the control core of the wizard tower magic circle where he will control it in the future.
Now that he has moved from the underground laboratory to the wizard tower built with black stone, Lu Feng feels a little more secure.
But this wizard tower is still far from being a real wizard tower. It does not have any protective magic array, elemental pool, or puppet guards.
"The core of the wizard tower is the element pool that gathers elemental energy. Only with the energy provided by the element pool can the normal operation of various magic arrays in the wizard tower be supported. Otherwise, if the magic stones are burned, it won't be long before I go bankrupt."
Lu Feng was thinking about the future construction of the Red Leaf Tower. After thinking for a while, Lu Feng temporarily gave up the idea of building an element pool.
The element pool has the function of gathering the elemental energy between heaven and earth.
The most common one is the earth-attribute energy pool, which is placed in a wizard tower and connected to the pulse of the earth, thus continuously gathering the power of the earth.
However, to create an earth element energy pool, an earth element heart is needed as the core of the element pool.
The heart of the earth element is usually produced from large mineral veins or in the body of the elemental creature earth golem.
The heart of the earth element in a large mineral vein is the core of the mineral vein. Once it is taken away, it will cause the mineral vein to become unbalanced and production to decrease. Generally, few people sell this type of earth element heart.
The hearts of earth elements that flow into the market are generally the life cores of elemental creatures, earth golems.
The Earth Stone Demon is born as a first-level extraordinary creature, comparable to a formal wizard. It has infinite power and can control the earth element to cast earth-attribute spells.
They are incredibly powerful, usually gathering in family units of three to five, making them very difficult to hunt.
With the money in Lu Feng's pocket, eight thousand magic stones were not enough to buy an earth element heart.
Unable to afford it and unable to defeat it, Lu Feng had to find another way to temporarily replace the elemental pool in the wizard tower.
After changing his thinking, Lu Feng quickly found a qualified substitute.
That is, Qingmu Spiritual Realm.
The function of the element pool is to absorb and store elemental energy.
As a small space, Qingmu Spiritual Realm is better at absorbing and storing elemental energy than the Elemental Pool.
Place the ghost tree fragments in the center of the top floor of the Red Leaf Tower, where there is a round stone platform the size of a square table.
In the center of the stone platform are six pure gold pillars that connect the entire wizard tower.
When building the wizard tower, Lu Feng smelted a large amount of gold and silver and buried them in the black rock materials used to build the wizard tower as an energy circuit in the wizard tower.
Gold and silver are spread all over the walls of the wizard tower, deep underground, connecting with the veins of the earth, which is much more labor-intensive than black rock materials.
These gold and silver are the huge part of the cost of the wizard tower.
Gold and silver are already considered cheap energy-conducting metals. Lu Feng remembered that the energy-conducting metals used in his master Tia's wizard tower were the more rare mithril.
Mithril is a metal more precious than gold in the wizarding world.
During the forging process of an ordinary long sword, adding 1% of mithril to the total weight can increase the sharpness, flexibility and hardness of the weapon by several levels.
In the Trandi sub-continent, the metal Mithril is often a treasure that knights dream of. Every knight's dream is to own a weapon mixed with Mithril.
One unit of Mithril can often buy one thousand gold coins in the secondary continent. Even on the Trudo continent, in the [Botanical Garden], one unit of magic stone is required.
An entire wizard tower's worth of mithril. Just thinking about it, Lu Feng knew how rich his Master [Tia] was.
It’s a pity that Lu Feng’s master is a man, otherwise Lu Feng would try his best to be a gigolo.
After marveling at his master’s wealth, Lu Feng came back to his senses, took out the ghost tree fragment, and placed it on the stone platform.
Lu Feng sat cross-legged in front of the stone platform. With a thought, eight spirits flew out from the Qingmu Spiritual Realm, floating on both sides of Lu Feng to protect his safety.
The stone platform was specially made by Lu Feng for the ghost tree fragments, and it fits perfectly when the ghost tree fragments are placed in it.
Under Lu Feng's control, the energy-absorbing ancient tree seeds that had grown a lot but had not yet sprouted pulled out six jade-white roots from the ghost tree fragments and pierced into the six golden pillars on the stone platform.
With the help of the gold and silver energy circuit, the emerald green divine light of the Qingmu Spirit Realm spread along the gold and silver circuits in the walls of the wizard tower.
At first, it only covered the entire stone platform under the fragments of the ghost tree.
Slowly, the divine radiance of the Qingmu Spirit Realm began to spread to the entire sixth floor.
An hour later, the entire wizard tower was shrouded in the light of the Qingmu Spirit Realm.
Inside the tower, the knight apprentice who was doing the interior decoration for the wizard felt the changes in the wizard tower and asked his companions around him in a somewhat strange way:
"Do you feel that the air in the wizard tower has become much fresher?"
Hearing this, everyone in the busy crowd felt the same way.
Lu Feng had no idea about the feelings of the busy knight apprentice among the wizards. At this moment, he was fully immersed in the Qingmu Spirit Realm, controlling the seeds of the energy-absorbing ancient tree to interact with the entire wizard tower.
The Qingmu Spirit Realm was still too weak, and it was barely able to support the energy supply of an entire wizard tower. Lu Feng had to use his mental power to assist in the control.
As the emerald green divine light of the Qingmu Spirit Realm expanded to cover the entire wizard tower, Lu Feng, who had become one with the spiritual realm, felt his mental power spreading outward along the gold and silver energy circuit that ran through the wizard tower.
It was as if the entire wizard tower had become his body, and the gold and silver energy circuits had become his tentacles for sensing the outside world.
This peculiar perspective put a great burden on Lu Feng's spirit. He did not dare to delay and quickly controlled the Qingmu Spirit Realm to communicate with the land under the wizard tower.
Earth gives birth to wood, and with the energy-absorbing ancient tree's talent for absorbing energy, Lu Feng quickly used the wizard tower to connect to the earth's gold and silver energy circuits and absorb the earth element energy hidden underground.
Strands of gray-brown earth element energy flowed along the gold and silver energy circuits into the wizard tower and gathered on the stone platform on the sixth floor where the ghost tree fragments were placed.
When the white roots of the seeds of the energy-absorbing ancient tree came into contact with the earth element energy surging from the six golden pillars, the seeds trembled slightly and then greedily absorbed the earth element energy like a whale or a dragon.
With the support of the earth element's energy, the divine light spreading from the Qingmu Spirit Realm became more stable, and Lu Feng's mental stress dropped sharply.
After the energy-absorbing ancient tree seeds stabilized this set of energy circuits, Lu Feng drew out his mental strength and continued to urge the Qingmu Spiritual Realm to release its power.
"The Yuanshi is here to keep the town safe, and to inform all spirits, the mountains and rivers are the true officials, and the land is the only spirit, so don't disturb them without permission."
Using the power of the Qingmu Spirit Realm, Lu Feng chanted the Earthly Immortal World's Antubao Zhai Mantra. Amid the faint chanting, a circle of twisted emerald green air currents appeared in front of Lu Feng.
These talismans intertwined together, forming the shape of a wizard tower, and continued to merge into the stone platform in front of Lu Feng.
At first, the stone platform remained unchanged, but as Lu Feng continued to perform rituals and refine it, the shadow of a wizard tower began to emerge faintly on the stone platform.
Green light shines, countless talismans are flying, peace and tranquility are in the air, the land is safe and the home is protected.
Just like Monk Huijing's method of refining Buddhist instruments, one can refine talismans and instruments by chanting mantras continuously.
The spell for protecting the land and the house that Lu Feng obtained could also be used to refine buildings into talismans by simply chanting the spell.
Lu Feng was ambitious. After knowing that he could not build an element pool in a short time, he changed his mind and planned to use the methods of the earthly world to temporarily refine the wizard tower into a talisman.
After careful selection, Lu Feng used the simplest yet most difficult spell to protect the home and the land.
When the construction of the wizard tower began, Lu Feng and Annie worked together to carve the Azuchi-Hosukyo spell on every piece of black stone used.
Every piece of black rock contains the power of peace and evil-suppressing spell.
The divine light of Qingmu Lingjing connected all the black stone materials of the entire wizard tower together through the gold and silver energy circuits that ran through the entire tower. The power of the Azuchi-ho-taka spell on each stone was also integrated together with the divine light of Qingmu Lingjing.
Make the wizard tower a huge talisman.
Although this approach is not as convenient as setting up a formation in the wizarding world, it saves money and has the potential for growth.
With the continuous chanting and ritual, the command of the Azuchi-no-Zakatsu spell in the entire wizard tower became stronger and stronger.
At the same time, Lu Feng's mind moved, and a stream of incense and wish power filtered by the Qingmu Spirit Realm flowed into the virtual shadow of the wizard tower on the stone platform.
The influx of incense and prayer power caused the shadow of the wizard tower to tremble slightly.
On the emerald green shadow, the spell and talismans of the Azuchi Hōzaka Curse suddenly became clearer.
Lu Feng estimated that the power of this incense stick could at least equal the effort of reciting it ten times.
"As expected, the power of incense and vows can also be used to refine this kind of magic tools! This way we can save a lot of money on magic stones!"
Seeing the remarkable effect of the power of incense and prayers, Lu Feng was even happier.
He didn't have many magic stones in his pocket, but he had a lot of incense and vows.
Apart from a little effort of filtering with Qingmu Spirit Realm, there is no cost at all.
As Lu Feng moved into the Wizard Tower, the core of Kane Manor was also transferred to the Wizard Tower with the establishment of the Red Leaf Wizard Tower.
Anne, Houston, and hundreds of high-level knight apprentices who had been trained in the manor for a long time all moved into the wizard tower.
The second floor has an area of nearly 10,000 square meters and is 16 meters high. It is divided into two floors, each with a room, which is more than enough to accommodate more than a hundred people.
The rest of the day goes on as usual, those who practice practice, those who work work.
However, with the practice of the Azuchi-Hosukyo Curse, everyone in the wizard tower had to attend an additional evening class before going to bed.
They are required to chant the Azuchi Hōzaka spell around the central pillar of the wizard before going to bed until their mental strength is exhausted.
Having worked under Lu Feng for a long time, Annie and others all knew that Lu Feng had some strange spells.
With precedents of spells like [Witch Wisdom], [Vajra Protection], and [Illumination], no one rejected Lu Feng's request. On the contrary, having experienced the benefits, they actively recited the spells until every bit of their mental strength was drained.
With the help of Qingmu Spirit Realm, the power of incense and vows, as well as the joint efforts of everyone in the Wizard Tower, the rituals in the Wizard Tower soon began to show results.
Ten days later.
In the center of the sixth floor of the Wizard Tower, on the stone platform, the shadow of the Wizard Tower has become completely solid, and the spells and talismans of the Antubao Zha Curse are also exceptionally clear.
"This time, the magic weapon in the wizard tower has been initially refined successfully. The protective ability of the Azuchi Hōzaki Spell can already resist the level 0 spells of a third-class wizard apprentice. What remains is to continue to refine it so that the effectiveness of this magic weapon will continue to improve!"
Lu Feng was very happy as he looked at the shadow of the wizard tower on the stone platform.
The Azuchi Hokeku Curse, which comes from the world of earthly immortals, can theoretically be used to infinitely stack spells when refining buildings, thus increasing the protective power of the Azuchi Hokeku Curse.
But it is only a theoretical effect. In reality, it is limited by the material of the building, the time of the sacrifice, and the power of the superimposed spells.
However, Lu Feng has not yet seen the limit of his own wizard tower. He can continue to practice the Antubao Zhai Curse, and after a while, it should be no problem to resist the attack of a first-level official wizard.
After the Antubaozhai Curse was stabilized, Lu Feng's Qingmu Lingjing could move at will. Without the assistance of Qingmu Lingjing, the energy stored in the wizard's phantom on the stone platform could withstand ten attacks from a third-class wizard apprentice.
However, Qingmu Lingjing was not taken down immediately.
During these days, the energy-absorbing ancient tree seeds absorbed a lot of earth element energy while absorbing the external energy of heaven and earth elements through the energy circuit of the wizard tower.
Lu Feng discovered that the energy-absorbing ancient tree seeds, which had absorbed the energy of the earth element, could refine the spiritual realm restrictions at a faster speed.
Absorbing the pure wood energy in the ghost tree fragments for a long time, mixed with some earth element energy, will be more beneficial to the growth of energy-absorbing ancient tree seeds.
Earth gives birth to wood, that's probably it.
Seeing this scene, Lu Feng was naturally reluctant to take down the Qingmu Spiritual Realm, and allowed the energy-absorbing ancient tree seeds to take root on the stone platform and absorb the energy of the earth element.
At the same time, part of the earth element energy absorbed by the energy-absorbing ancient tree seeds was also integrated into the ghost tree fragments.
The energy-absorbing ancient tree seeds have been rooted in the ghost tree fragments for a long time. The place where they first took root has been drained of wood energy by the seeds, leaving only pure death power condensed in it. Now with the addition of earth element energy, the death power in this area has become heavier.
Under the influence of the earth element's energy, the hard ghost tree fragments were also slowly evolving into soil.
Lu Feng was curious about the changes in the ghost tree fragments and studied them carefully, but was unable to understand the answer due to the limitations of theoretical knowledge.
But he did not feel any harm from it. On the contrary, with the changes in the ghost tree fragments, the area where the energy-absorbing ancient tree seeds had taken root for a long time seemed to be slowly integrating into the Qingmu Spiritual Realm.
The core of Qingmu Spirit Realm is the upgrading of plants and trees, but with the integration of this area, it has a bit more flavor of the cycle of life and death, and the growth of earth and trees.
The long-distance transfer to Qingmu Spirit Realm also became smoother as a result.
Lu Feng had a feeling that the changes in Qingmu Spirit Realm would only benefit him in the future, so he let it go and let Qingmu Spirit Realm develop freely.
