Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 351 One-Ring Magical Plant: The Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow
Forbidden Forest, Swamp, Inside the Research Institute.

With Albert's assistance, Locke's data processing speed increased significantly, and he completed the redesign of the plant essence of the first-level magic plant in just two weeks.

Then, Locke walked into the five banana groves, and magnetic circles appeared in the palm of his left hand. Centered on him, they swept outwards from the banana groves in all directions, and the magical magnetic field enveloped the entire banana grove.

At the same time, a magical sun appeared in Locke's right hand, and he used the magical resonance cultivation method to activate the banana forest.

A golden magical sun in his left hand and a deep blue magical magnetic field sphere in his right—this is the skill of a master breeder.

Within the magnetic field, each magical probe resonated, and then the magical magnetic field cut off the plant factors from the plant essence connected to the probes, which then automatically flew into Locke's hand. Locke then used the magnetic field to rearrange their order, arranging all the plant factors according to the previous design, and then injected this new plant essence into a seed of a large blue owl banana.

In an instant, a small magical vortex was born from the seed.

Locke saw a complex Ogan tree rune flash across the seed, which was the sign of a successful first-stage magic plant cultivation.

"This rate of absorbing surrounding energy is a sign of successful cultivation of a first-ring magic plant."

Locke bent down and placed the magical plant on the ground. Immediately, the seed began to frantically absorb magical energy from the surrounding soil, and even from the soil and air in the distance. Under the effect of Locke's first-circle spell, [Rapid Growth], it grew rapidly.

In just a few seconds, it sprouted and grew into a seedling. Then, at the cost of absorbing all the nutrients in the soil of the constant-temperature planting room and causing all the surrounding banana plants to wither and die, it finally succeeded in conceiving.

A mature, first-ring flying magical plant appeared before Locke and Albert. This magical plant was very similar to the Great Blue Owl Banana, only larger and with a more powerful energy activity.

There is a life-sized artificial banana tree, whose aerial roots converge to form a green dragon tail more than three meters long, while a pair of banana leaves transform into banana leaf wings with a wingspan of 3 meters, which look like small green dragon wings.

Inside the banana leaf, there are also some faint dragon patterns.

When Locke used the finite element method to cultivate the large green owl banana, he made many subspecies of the green dragon bone fossil mimic the fossil. Each subspecies could only successfully mimic a small part of it. When all these subspecies were brought together, it became the successful mimicry we see today.

Locke quickly walked over and established a magical grafting relationship with the magical plant, incorporating it into the distributed psionic network.

Because this magical plant was too powerful, Locke was almost devoured by it for a moment. Fortunately, before he was devoured, he activated the Abyss Energy and the Forest Sanctuary in advance, strengthening his magical pressure from the outside, transforming into a forest ecosystem, and forcibly suppressing the first-ring flying magical plant.

Locke took a half step back, feeling his mana trembling violently and in utter chaos. "I've nurtured this first-ring flying magical plant too powerfully, almost forgetting that my current mana is only 3360."

"A miscalculation, a miscalculation. I need to be more careful next time. I almost ruined everything because of the magical plant I was cultivating. Fortunately, I have successfully completed the magical grafting relationship. This magical plant looks like dragon wings but it's not. It also has a dragon tail formed by pseudo-roots. Let's call it the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow."

"After all, it utilizes the principle of plant mimicry and draws on the green dragon fossil to obtain some of the characteristics of the green dragon's flight."

Locke used the first-level flight spell he had learned beforehand, [Banana Wings], to ride the large green-leaved dragon sparrow.

Banana Wings is a general-purpose flying plant magic for banana plants.

Although it cannot unleash the full potential of the Great Blue Leaf Dragon Sparrow, it is sufficient for normal use.

Dozens of emerald green halos slowly rotated around the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow, and Locke was almost floating in mid-air.

Locke looked behind him at the Great Blue Leaf Dragon Sparrow, whose banana leaves resembled dragon wings. At the same time, the dragon tail dummy roots of the Great Blue Leaf Dragon Sparrow also swayed naturally.

"By mimicking the wings of a green dragon, the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow can gain the same natural ability to control magical winds as dragons. So it's not that I'm flying on my own, but rather that the magical winds are lifting me up."

"Manipulating the winds of magic should be the privilege of wizards specializing in wind magic within the Evocation school of first-ring wizards, and they don't seem to be able to manipulate them so freely."

Locke used the Synthetic Cube to enhance all the subspecies of the Great Green Owl Banana, making those banana subspecies incredibly powerful. This indirectly resulted in the first-level magical plant he cultivated using the finite element cultivation method being far stronger than an ordinary first-level flying magical plant.

With a mere thought, Locke manipulated the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow, riding the winds of magic, soaring and shifting endlessly through the sky at a speed so fast that even Albert, standing below, couldn't keep up with it. Moreover, Locke's magical power fluctuations while riding the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow had changed, becoming incredibly terrifying, and his every move filled Albert with a sense of dread.

Albert seemed to see a green dragon flying in the sky.

Albert gazed at the temperature-controlled greenhouse, drained of all its nutrients, and at the withered, yellowed banana grove, and sighed deeply. 'A Level One Magical Plant is truly a luxury in the ecosystem. The resources required to cultivate even one are simply too many, far too many.'

"Like a general's success built on the bones of ten thousand."

Albert looked at Locke. Although he was not a formal wizard, he knew from working with Lady Morgana that a wizard who could independently develop and cultivate a first-ring magical plant was unusual, even among formal wizards.

Besides, Locke had only recently become a formal wizard, less than a year ago.

However, given his limited knowledge, he naturally couldn't discern the true strength of the new first-ring magical plant variety that Locke had cultivated.

After all, he was just a wizard apprentice. He just felt that the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow seemed exceptionally powerful, more powerful and dominant than any other magic plant of the first level that he had ever had the chance to see. A special magical fluctuation emanated from the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow, which seemed to be the magical fluctuation of a dragon.

Locke flew through the sky, looking at the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow behind him. "As expected, just as I predicted, the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow can indeed emit a special magical fluctuation similar to a dragon's might, which can exert a certain kind of psychological pressure on the enemy."

"Of course, this was not my intentional design. It was just a natural evolution that occurred when the subspecies of the Great Green Owl Banana mimicked plants. I just took advantage of this result."

“Similarly…” Locke thought to himself, and the false root dragon tail of the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow behind him swung out. The end of the dragon tail continued to grow and lengthen, and a dragon head grew out of the end of the dragon tail. Its mouth seemed to be able to bite the enemy.

“If a set of matching botanical magic is designed, it will be possible to better utilize the dragon-like power of the Great Blue Leaf Dragon Sparrow and the attack of its false root dragon tail,” Locke pondered. “Perhaps we can find a suitable research group to collaborate with in the future. Of course, there is an even simpler method: look through some of the existing first-level botanical magic that I can currently access, find something similar, modify it slightly, and then apply it to my Great Blue Leaf Dragon Sparrow.”

Locke conducted another test and asked Albert to help write down the test results. After the test results came out, Locke was very satisfied. He found that the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow's flying ability was outstanding, even among first-level flying magical plants.

very talented.

With it, I no longer have to worry about not being able to catch up with the enemy, nor do I have to worry about being unable to escape danger and being caught by the enemy.

Even if he were a first-circle wizard specializing in wind magic, Locke would be confident that he could catch up with him at this moment.

Furthermore, the Great Blue Leaf Dragon Sparrow also possesses additional abilities such as Dragon Might and Dragon Tail Attack, which are worth exploring further.

Locke put away the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow, landed on the ground, and said to Albert, "Albert, thank you for helping me develop the first-ring magic plant, the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow."

"As agreed, you can go to the other four temperature-controlled plantations and choose a few magical plants to take with you."

Albert bowed respectfully to Locke. Having worked with Locke for some time, he was completely impressed by Locke's genius ideas and speed of thought, and now he felt even more admiration for the power of the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow.

"It is my good fortune to be able to participate in the cultivation of a first-level magical plant."

"It can add a lot of luster to my future resume."

“I should thank you, Senior Locke.” Albert had unconsciously changed how he addressed Locke.

Locke nodded and said, "I'm going to move all the plants in the research institute soon, so please choose them as soon as possible. Once you've chosen, let me know and I'll transplant them for you."

At this moment, Locke discovered that Peggy had sent him a message from the Gray Mist Slab, informing him that the first-ring wizard steward sent by her family had arrived at the port of Lilith's Hut and brought him the Druid Ring.

Albert bowed to Locke again, sensing that Locke was about to leave Lilith's Cottage. "I understand, Senior Locke."
