Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 723 The Cultivation Method of the Moon!
Locke placed the Moon of Evolution in his right hand into the rippling blue waves of the bronze cauldron. The Moon of Evolution rolled within it, as if leaping.

Then, the Moon of Evolution released a dazzling silver-blue gradient light, as if the moonlight had fallen into a pond and shattered into a shimmering silver scale.

The full moon lay lazily in the center of the bronze cauldron, letting ripples kiss its elegant curves. The full moon had shed its finery and was being washed in the clear water, shimmering with a brilliant silver-blue moonlight.

All the potions of zero have gathered on this Moon of Evolution.

Then, Locke took the moon out of the second-ring magical artifact bronze cauldron, held it in his hand, and put it back into the sky.

In an instant, the moon's light blazed brightly, and it seemed as if only the moon's radiance shone in the sky and on the ground.

At this moment, the moonlight, like an incandescent light bulb in a room at night, was so bright that it illuminated the whole world.

The same moon hangs over the entire Dharma realm, the present world…

Locke pushed his magical pressure to its limit, and the large amount of Zero Magic Potion enhanced the spirituality of the Stone Spirit within the Moon of Evolution. This spirituality then enveloped all plants in the mortal world and the Dharma realm.

At this moment, all plants in both worlds are undergoing rapid evolution!
Similarly, in the extraterrestrial battlefield inside the 'Gate of Hell' on Xiaotao Mountain, an evolutionary moon rose like a sun after the lunar eclipse.

Ellen Fox, the leopard-stealing wizard, was about to turn and retreat with a grim expression, because almost all of his magical pressure had been swindled away by Locke.

Moreover, Locke immediately transferred the energy away, making it impossible for him to steal it back.

But as soon as he left the battlefield and returned to the edge, he heard a lot of gossip from the dark wizards. When he looked back, he saw the bright silver-blue full moon rise and shine on the snow-capped pineapple wizard shoes at the feet of the five hundred and one-ring wizard of Golden Crown Mountain.

The Pineapple Wizard Shoes with Snowdrift Tops... have been enhanced in one go.

At the same time, all the second-ring and first-ring magical plants on the battlefield underwent rapid evolution, and their shapes were enhanced out of thin air.

In an instant, the second-ring wizards of Golden Crown Mountain gained a huge advantage on the battlefield against the first-ring wizards.

The wizards of the Twin Demon Realms were caught off guard by this sudden change and suffered great losses as a result.

Meanwhile, the second-ring and first-ring wizards on Mount Golden Crown were also astonished by this sudden change.

Many first-ring wizards raised their eyebrows as they looked at the wizard shoes on their feet. "While many shop alliances offer warranties and after-sales service, the after-sales service for Augustine wizard shoes is just too good, isn't it?"

A botany lecturer mage from Mount Golden Crown smiled and said, "From now on, will all the wizard shoes sold by Augustus Wizard Shoes be able to be enhanced by that great magic during battle? If so, I'll be a loyal user of Augustus Wizard Shoes from now on."

He looked curiously at the Azure Chrysanthemum, a first-ring magical plant in his hand, and saw that the magical pressure of this plant was rapidly increasing.

He waved the Azure Chrysanthemum in his hand, and a burst of azure flame flew out, striking the dark wizard beside him who was attacking him with Evocation magic. The dark wizard was hit by the suddenly amplified azure flame, and his entire body was instantly engulfed in azure flames, causing his permanent defensive field to explode with a series of crackling sounds.

The second-circle wizards of Golden Crown Mountain felt the power of the Evolution Moon.

The Celtic leader turned to look at the moon, sensing the power within it. He then looked at the Sith leader beside him, who nodded. "This is Locke's magical pressure."

"It's probably to advertise his wizard shoe brand. I just don't know how he managed to use such powerful magic here even when he's not here."

The Celtics team leader said, "This is ridiculous. The game is important. How can he be so careless about his future?"

Esther, the leader of Group Three, chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be so close to him now. But I think he must have his own reasons for doing this. Didn't you see how furious the dark wizards are? I never thought that the former first-ring wizard would finally become a second-ring wizard and enter... the real wizarding world."

"Welcome, Locke Augustine."

Esther the Witch looked in the direction of the Moon of Evolution and said, "On the path to truth, another companion has joined us. I think the Wizarding Council will come looking for you soon. Only when you reach the second circle will the wizarding world finally reveal a part of its true face to you."

The Celtic leader frowned as he looked at the Black Heart Sword Peach in his hand. "Locke's ultimate magic is actually enhancing my magical plants. And why are my magical plants evolving so rapidly?"

"What kind of breeding method is this? I've never heard of it before!"

Esther the Witch and Sith Leader both looked at all the magical plants they carried.

Sith Team Leader said seriously, "Just ask Locke when we get back."

On the dark wizard's side, Ellen Fox, the leopard thief wizard, was furious. He had already been swindled out of all his capital by Locke, which was bad enough.

As a result, Locke succeeded twice, using a full moon growth spell to remotely unleash a powerful magic here.

If he had known this would happen, he should have stayed where he was. That way, the moment Locke unleashed his ultimate magic, he could have used the Twin Siphon Organs to steal it.

Now, Ellen Fox, the leopard-stealing wizard, felt that his two friends were looking at him with suspicion, but they didn't say a word.

They probably suspect that he might be a spy hired by Locke's side.

Ellen Fox, the leopard-stealing wizard, used magic to teleport to the Moon of Evolution. He placed his palm on the Moon of Evolution and forcibly used the Twin Siphon Organs to create a lunar eclipse, stealing the Moon of Evolution.

After successfully stealing the Moon of Evolution, Ellen Fox smiled. However, when he saw that the magical plants on the White Wizards' side had been collectively strengthened by the Moon of Evolution, he became furious. He was determined to use the Moon of Evolution to destroy the magical plants in the hands of those White Wizards once again!
Anyway, Locke's ultimate magic has a special effect on magical plants!

But the next moment, Ellen Fox felt a chill run down his spine. Just as he was about to use a powerful spell, a question suddenly occurred to him.

'No. This child's evil far exceeds my imagination!'

'He can't be treated as an ordinary white wizard; he's more like the truly evil ones within the white wizarding community, the ones who would skin people alive...'

'The stolen moon can only be used once, but what if it's manipulated by him again, like before?'

Wizard Ellen Fox was filled with lingering fear. "Then I really can't say for sure which side I'm on."

In this way, he essentially helped the white wizards twice, achieving remarkable feats, only the credit wasn't awarded to the black wizard alliance.

Upon realizing this, Wizard Ellen Fox immediately stopped, deeply aware that he had taken on a hot potato.

The Twin Siphon Organs can only steal one major spell. If he wants to steal another, he must first use the Moon of Evolution.

However, if it is used, the Moon of Evolution will be controlled by Locke, which would be tantamount to defrauding him of his capital again.

Ellen Fox Wizard suddenly felt as if an invisible hand had grabbed his throat, his lifeline, from the horizon.

"This practice... Damn it, this is the typical tactic of those high-ranking white wizards. No matter how good we thieves are at stealing, how can we possibly keep up with their speed!"

"This chilling feeling..."

Ellen Fox, a wizard, heard a second-circle wizard from the Golden Crown Mountain shouting that he was utterly wicked, and then rushed over to kill him.

Ellen Fox the wizard turned and ran, after all, he had been completely outmaneuvered and killed by Locke.

At this moment, they dared not release their twin siphon organs.

"Bullshit! How could I possibly compare myself to some of you white wizards in terms of evil?!"

...In the Silent Plane, both the world-class Dharma Realm and the plants within the Silent Plane are evolving rapidly.

All the ordinary tree beings in the Dharma Realm are developing towards becoming apprentice-level magical plants, and ordinary plants in the mortal world are also evolving rapidly.

At this moment, after becoming a second-circle wizard, Locke finally realized that his previous judgment on the Moon Cultivation Method was wrong.

Moreover, he also understood why the Moon Cultivation Method could accelerate the evolution of magical plants in a short period of time.

He originally thought that the special spiritual quality would forcibly raise the level of the magical plant, and in this process, the evolution of the magical plant would be accelerated.

However, this view is full of flaws and is entirely due to the first-ring wizard's misunderstanding of the second-ring world.

After all, why would the combination of special spirituality and the spirituality of the magical plant accelerate the evolution of the magical plant?
This is simply an explanation that is forced upon people who don't know why this is happening, based on what they see.

After becoming a second-circle wizard, Locke immediately understood why the Moon Cultivation Method had caused the magical plants to evolve and what had happened.

After the special spirituality of those plants combined with the spirituality of the demonic plants, the plants seemed to have gained some special privileges, constantly attracting the power of the surrounding planes and merging it into their spirituality.

The power of the planes is complex, numerous, and of a very high energy level. Many special powers from the Silent Plane have entered the magical plant.

These special dimensional powers belonging to the Silent Dimension are driving the evolution of the magical plants, and the energy for this evolution is mainly provided by these dimensional powers.

Seeing this, Locke pondered: 'In other words, these magical plants, combined with the special spiritual energy I provided, will enter a state of rapidly absorbing the power of the surrounding planes. They'll enter a state of accelerated evolution, and the outcome of this evolution will depend on the characteristics of the plane's power.'

'This means that under the blessing of these special spiritual forces, plants absorb certain characteristics of the silent plane into their own spirituality, thus undergoing a kind of forced evolution.'

'This is the essence of the Lunar Cultivation Method. The rapid evolution of ferns in the Dune Plane is likely due to the integration of planar power into the plant's spirituality, and the influx of unique planar attribute information from the Dune Plane into the plant's existential spirit.'

'Many things can be done using this mechanism.'

Locke mentally calculated the upper and lower limits of the Moon Cultivation Method, what it could do, and what it couldn't do.

Locke surveyed both realms. "If that's the case, now that the disc-shaped creatures have invaded the Silent Dimension, the dimensional power and information from the Fallen Rain Realm they brought with them will also interact with these plants."

"The plants that have been exposed to the Moon of Evolution will also gain the dimensional power of Omega's Fallen Rain Realm. Hmm... that's good."

The plants of the two realms in the Silent Dimension underwent rapid evolution under the moonlight mixed with the Zero Potion.

The vines transformed into dark rain vines and matte vines, the orchids into whispering ink orchids, and the cedars into tearful cedars...

At the same time, many ordinary tree beings in the Dharma realm have become apprentice-level tree beings, such as eavesdropper tree beings, water mirror tree beings, silent monument guardian tree beings, and so on.

These treants absorbed dimensional information from the Silent Plane and the Fallen Rain Realm, resulting in a change in their form.

Many of these tree-people, thanks to information from the disc-shaped organism Omega, possess an exceptionally high adaptability to water and low light, acquiring the [Water Element Affinity Plant Essence], [Low Light Conversion Plant Essence], and [Aquatic Spore Plant Essence].

After all, the Fallen Rain Realm of the Disc Creature Omega is much more powerful than the Silent Dimension. Therefore, in the Lunar Cultivation Method, the entity that interacts most with the spirituality of the plants is the dimensional information of the Fallen Rain Realm of the Disc Creature Omega.

This had a serious consequence.

At least for the disc-shaped Omega.

Because after this happened throughout the entire Dharma Realm, not only did the demonic pressure increase out of thin air, but the plants throughout the Dharma Realm also gained the ability to adapt to the Fallen Rain Realm.

What does this mean? It means that the adaptability that should have taken a long time to acquire after entering the Fallen Rain Realm was obtained and displayed by the plants in an extremely short time under Locke's use of the Evolution Moon.

Locke stole Omega's power.

The plants in the Dharma Realm all adapted to the Great Flood, which is equivalent to adapting to how to fight against the creatures of the Rain Realm.

The Rain Mantis teleported behind a Treant and slashed at its back, but the attack was greatly reduced because the Treant's bark had evolved to be waterproof.

The next moment, the matte tree-man smashed it to pieces with a single punch.

In the sky, Locke pondered, "The lunar cultivation method can have two modes. One is permanent evolution, and the other is temporary evolution."

Because of the properties of the Zero Potion, one can draw back these blank spiritualities at any time.

From both an energy cycle and ecological perspective, it would be best to restore the temporarily evolved magical plant to its original state.

This is because this evolutionary method is actually a risky approach taken in emergency situations, and it has a significant impact on the ecosystem.

Taking it back would allow them to reclaim their own Zero Potion while also reducing the impact on the ecosystem.

Of course, the Moon Cultivation Method is not just about temporary evolution, but also about giving the natural ecosystem the ability to adapt to certain enemies.

Locke blinked, summoning the demiplane of the subspace region connected to his soul, the ten sea gold plants stored in the Sacred Forest.

I need to truly evolve into a second-ring demonic plant.

Use the lunar cultivation method.

Permanent evolution!

Furthermore, during this process, due to the characteristics of the Moon Cultivation Method, one can... gain special resistance to the Fallen Rain Realm!
This is precisely the power of my Moon Cultivation Method!

The moonlight of the Evolution Month shone on the ten magical plants.

At the highest point of this plane, Edgar, who was fighting Omega, looked down at Locke with a bewildered expression. He muttered to himself, caught in the same doubt Locke had about his theory that the Return of the Trees to the Roots could transform the spirituality of death into life energy.

"How did you do it?"

"Why can magical plants evolve so quickly? Why is that? There shouldn't be any breeding method that can evolve plants on such a large scale in such a short period of time."

Skilled breeders can indeed use certain cultivation methods to force the rapid evolution of lower-level plants, but Locke's Evolution Month has an effect on an area that is simply too vast.

Moreover, the speed is too fast, far exceeding the effect that ordinary breeders can achieve through botanical magic combinations.

Most importantly, Locke's Moon Cultivation Method also gave those magical plants that had their evolution accelerated a specific resistance!
'The breeder's methods are ultimately just selection techniques, but Locke's Evolution Month seems to actually allow plants to evolve?'

'Like the god of evolution?'

Edgar quickly shook his head. "No, I shouldn't think of Locke in such a mythologizing way."

"The Evolution Moon is just a breeding method. I just don't understand it. Locke seems to be far ahead of me in the field of breeding for the time being."

"I don't understand this magic... How can it make plants evolve so easily and rapidly? Are you going to use the moon to evolve a second-ring plant?"
