Chapter 9: Energy-absorbing Ancient Tree, the First ray of Mana
Lu Feng did not rush home. He rented a quiet yard in the remote suburbs of Port Dillons.
After being stuck on the Thunder for several days, Lu Feng was already extremely hungry and thirsty.
His mind is now full of the practice of Qingmu Changshengjing.
After setting up the protective formation, Lu Feng walked into the house.
After several days of research on the Thunder, Lu Feng has thoroughly studied the introductory part of the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra.
The introductory part talks about how to select a suitable spiritual plant, and then connect the spiritual plant and the practitioner through special methods.
Once the connection is established, all subsequent training in the Taoist child stage will be done step by step and naturally.
Regarding spiritual plants, or demonized plants, Lu Feng has already made a choice.
When Lu Feng's wizard aptitude was tested, his affinity for plants was also tested, so he chose the botanical garden.
If Yin attributes or affinity with darkness were detected, he might have joined a wizarding organization like the Bone Grove or Shadow Isles.
After spending so many years in the Botanical Garden, one of the few top wizarding forces in the Trudo continent, Lu Feng has some assets.
[Botanical Garden] Lives up to its name, meditation method, most famous spells require the cooperation of magic plants, therefore, Lu Feng has also collected several kinds.
Coordinate with casting, controlling, and attacking the enemy's bloodthirsty vines.
The butterfly flower can cause hallucinations and hypnosis.
Jade fruit that heals injuries and restores physical strength.
In addition to the bloodthirsty devil vine that he cultivated with great care, the butterfly fantasy flowers and jade fruits were all seeds that Lu Feng bought and prepared to take back to his hometown to plant, to use for guarding or training his subordinates.
"Bloodthirsty Demon Vine, Butterfly Illusion Flower, and Emerald Jade Fruit, these three always feel a little lacking!"
Lu Feng was a little conflicted. Because of the spellcasting function, the bloodthirsty devil vine was cultivated best by him. The vine was bright red like blood jade, and the surface had a faint metallic luster and was quite hard.
Once entangled by the bloodthirsty devil vine, even a sea beast with a strong body cannot break free.
But it is not appropriate to use this thing to practice the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra.
His life is connected to the bloodthirsty devil vine. The devil vine's bloodthirsty nature will definitely affect Lu Feng's body and mind as his practice deepens, causing him to gradually become bloodthirsty.
As for the Dream Flower and Jade Fruit, one causes hallucinations and the other restores health.
The former can increase Lu Feng's attack power, and the latter can improve Lu Feng's survivability.
Both are good choices.
However, after hesitating for a long time, Lu Feng took out a seed that looked like an irregular brown rock from his arms.
This seed has a great origin. It is the treasure of the Botanical Garden, the seed of a super giant energy-absorbing ancient tree.
The entire botanical garden is built on super-giant energy-absorbing ancient trees. One of their leaves can support a small town, and their branches are towering and reach the sky.
Looking up at the giant energy-absorbing ancient trees in the Botanical Garden is the most shocking moment in the life of every wizard who enters the Botanical Garden.
The seed in Lu Feng's hand was given to him by his mentor [Tia] before he left.
It is a dead seed that has lost its vitality and can hardly sprout again.
Because of this, Lu Feng's mentor [Tia] gave him this seed as a souvenir.
[Tia] is a formal wizard in the botanical garden who is proficient in botany. I don’t know how much research and experiments she has done on the dead species of this energy-absorbing ancient tree.
It actually gave this dead seed a tiny bit of life. Although there is still no hope of it sprouting, it is still extremely precious.
Before leaving, Tia said frankly that this seed could extend Lu Feng's life by five years.
Originally, Lu Feng only regarded this seed as a souvenir from his previous life and a panacea for longevity, but when he came into contact with the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra, he had some more thoughts in his mind.
If he could train the energy-absorbing ancient tree into his natal spiritual plant, his future would definitely be promising.
Lu Feng knew about the ability to absorb energy particles between heaven and earth. The giant energy-absorbing ancient tree in the [Botanical Garden] absorbed energy in a day, and the magic stones condensed from it were more than enough to meet the daily consumption of the entire Botanical Garden.
It's simply a giant money printing machine.
The botanical garden has been able to grow and develop to this day thanks to the wise action of the first generation of sages who planted energy-absorbing ancient trees.
Thinking of this, Lu Feng's heart started pounding. After thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind and made a decision.
The Qingmu Changshengjing records many methods of cultivating natal spiritual plants from seeds.
The dead seed of the energy-absorbing ancient tree in Lu Feng's hand still has a glimmer of life, and there is still a possibility of sprouting. Should he try his best to become rich and powerful, or should he be steady and seek progress and choose the Butterfly Illusion Flower and the Emerald Jade Fruit.
Lu Feng decided to abandon his past caution and give it a try.
He has been cautious for more than fifty years. In the second half of his life, Lu Feng still wants to take a chance.
Lu Feng had a strong premonition in his heart.
If he chooses Butterfly Fantasy Flower and Emerald Jade Fruit, these two common demonized plants, he may be stuck at the upper-grade Taoist child stage for a long time in the future.
It is very likely that he will never be able to break through the level of advancing to a formal wizard, just like his third-class wizard apprentice.
After years of training, Lu Feng has already had a rough idea of his own talents.
He is what everyone calls an average person, better than the average but not as good as the best.
Just being a third-class wizard apprentice took him decades.
Even if he changed to another system and stepped into the path of earthly immortal, Lu Feng did not think that his qualifications would be much better. A future top-grade Taoist child might even be a choke point for him.
Now over fifty, Lu Feng feels that his future is hopeless if he doesn’t try harder.
Having made up his mind, Lu Feng suddenly smiled.
After making the decision, he felt a lot more relieved.
Taking out the jade, Lu Feng had already memorized the contents of the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra through his research, but he still read it again word by word.
It is not only about reviewing the old and learning the new, but also about relaxing the body and mind so that you can start practicing in the best condition.
An hour later, Lu Feng put down the jade and began to practice.
He carefully picked up the dead seed of the energy-absorbing ancient tree, stretched out his fingers, and a tiny wind blade passed through his fingers, cutting a wound. Bright red blood flowed out of the wound and dripped onto the dead seed.
"Sacrifice it with blood, nourish it with spirit, use my heart and their wood to build the Qingmu Spiritual Heart together"
Lu Feng murmured the sacrificial incantation from the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra, uniting his body and mind, and communicating through the medium of blood to absorb the vitality of the dead ancient tree.
Lu Feng has the strength of a third-class wizard apprentice and has a strong mental force. As he recites the spell, he can clearly sense that the blood on the dead seed is undergoing miraculous changes, emitting a bright red light and slowly seeping into the dead seed.
After a few breaths, all the blood on the dead species disappeared.
Lu Feng's expression remained unchanged and blood continued to drip.
Drip blood, chant a spell, and the blood disappears.
Lu Feng kept repeating this process.
In a quarter of an hour, Lu Feng lost two liters of blood.
His face became visibly paler, but his eyes became brighter and the corners of his mouth opened slightly.
Lu Feng felt that
After the dead species of the energy-absorbing ancient tree absorbed his blood time and time again, a barely detectable connection was slowly established.
"Success! Success!"
Suddenly, the vague connection evolved into a reliable connection.
Lu Feng was ecstatic.
He quickly followed the techniques of the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra to condense his essence, energy and spirit. Then, a mysterious power from the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra was born in his dantian.
The first wisp of magic power was condensed successfully.
A new era has begun!
