Wizard: Starting with Dealing with Magical Plants

Chapter 270 Special Magical Plants

An extremely subtle but definitely present energy fluctuation came from the direction of the pile of rocks!

It's not the inert energy left over from ancient times, but a more active, more vibrant energy.

Moreover, it carries a faint sense of familiarity?

It's like the pure quality of the spiritual fluctuations of the moonflower, but weaker and more chaotic?

Rowling immediately signaled Ellie to hide where she was, while he silently made his way towards the pile of rocks.

After passing the tower's base, the pile of rubble came into view.

It was a natural shelter formed by several huge rocks that looked as if they had rolled down from the mountaintop and were stacked together, with dark green vines and ferns growing in the crevices.

The faint spiritual fluctuation, similar to that of the moonflower, emanated from a narrow crevice at the bottom of the pile of stones, partially obscured by vines!

The gap was very small, just enough for one person to crawl in.

Luo Lin crouched outside the crevice, carefully sensing its surroundings.

Besides the faint spiritual fluctuations, a very faint, moist scent with a fresh herbal aroma emanated from the depths of the crevice.

No other life or threat was detected.

He turned back and made a "warning" gesture to Ellie who had followed him, then drew his short blade, carefully cut through the vines blocking the gap, and crouched down to crawl inside.

The crevice was deeper than I had imagined, and it sloped downwards.

After climbing for about three or four meters, the space in front of us suddenly expanded, revealing a small natural cave that was partially surrounded by rocks.

There were tiny cracks in the cave ceiling, through which a few rays of sunlight shone, barely illuminating the interior.

In the center of the cave, on a small, relatively dry and flat patch of ground, several peculiar plants were growing!

It was a low-growing herbaceous plant with slender, silvery-gray leaves and extremely fine serrations along the edges. The veins of the leaves seemed to flow with a faint, mercury-like luster in the soft light.

At the top of the plant, several small, bell-shaped flowers, no bigger than a fingernail and translucent pale purple, bloom, emitting a faint spiritual energy similar to that of the moonflower but even more serene and cool, along with a herbal fragrance.

"Moonlight moss? No, it's a mutated species—"

A look of surprise flashed across Rolin's eyes.

Moonlight moss is a relatively common low-level magical plant that prefers cool and damp environments and has a slightly spiritual quality. It is usually used as an auxiliary material in the production of calming potions or low-level energy stabilizers.

But these few plants in front of us, whether it's the silvery-gray luster of the leaves, the fluidity of the leaf veins, or the shape and spiritual intensity of the flowers, clearly exceed the scope of ordinary moonshoe moss.

Is it due to the long-term influence of the unique energy environment of the ruins?

Or is it that there are some fragments of rules related to ancient experiments that remain here, which can resonate faintly with the moonflower and give rise to this mutation?

Luo Lin approached cautiously, not daring to pick any rashly.

He first checked the area around the cave to make sure there were no other dangers before squatting down to examine the mutated moonlight moss carefully.

The plant is in good condition and full of vitality.

Although the spiritual fluctuations are weak, they are pure and stable.

If transplanted and carefully cultivated, it might become a good stabilizing agent, and even have a certain auxiliary effect on Ellie's natural energy cultivation.

He took out a small jade shovel and a specially made plant sample box with a miniature preservation array.

Carefully dig out the three plants with their roots and soil intact, place them in the sample box, and leave the two smaller ones to continue growing there.

After doing all this, the faint spiritual fluctuation did not disappear. Instead, it seemed that because of the transplanting of the plant, a fainter, but seemingly purer, silvery-white light was revealed in the crevice of the rock below.

Luo Lin brushed aside the soil and pebbles, and there he saw a strange little pebble, no bigger than a thumbnail, embedded in the rock, deep within the original roots of the moon moss. It was irregularly shaped, warm and milky white, and had nebulous light points flowing slowly inside.

The luster and texture of these pebbles are somewhat similar to the material on the platform in the silent corridor!

It's just much smaller, and its energy is much weaker and more dormant!

Could it be that beneath these ruins lie smaller fragments or remnants related to ancient experiments?

Rowling carefully dug out the milky white pebble.

It feels slightly cool to the touch, and you can hardly feel any energy fluctuations, but when you come into contact with the power of [Quiet Dust Star], you can feel an extremely deep, almost primal sense of stability and harmony.

This is definitely a great product!

Although its specific uses are unknown, its material and nature may have immeasurable value for studying ancient experiments, stabilizing its own power, and even cultivating moonflowers!

After carefully tucking the pebbles into his body, Roland thoroughly inspected the cave again, making sure there were no other discoveries before leaving.

Seeing that Rowling had come out safely, Ellie breathed a sigh of relief, then looked curiously at the sample box in his hand.

"I found some interesting plants, and this too." Rowling explained briefly, then took out the milky-white pebble and showed it to Ellie. "Keep this safe; it might come in handy."

Ellie looked at the small pebble that shone with a warm luster, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

The two did not linger at the ruins.

Luo Lin was worried that digging up the plants might have disturbed something. Although he hadn't found anything unusual yet, he decided to leave as soon as possible to be on the safe side.

They continued northwest along the other side of the valley, heading deeper into the Sighing Mountains.

Behind us, the ancient ruins gradually disappeared into the shadows of the mountains.

The milky-white pebble that he had obtained by chance, in Rolin's arms, was emitting a barely perceptible pulse that seemed to resonate with distant time and space.

Leaving the valley where the ruins were located, the two continued northwest along a dry riverbed filled with gravel, carved out by mountain streams.

The river meanders among the mountains. Although it is difficult to walk, at least the direction is clear, which is less strenuous than climbing on the rocky slopes.

The milky-white pebble in his arms occasionally emitted a faint, warm sensation, as if echoing the operation of the [Quiet Dust Star] within Luo Lin's body.

Luo Lin spared a sliver of his attention, attempting to gently touch it with his mental energy.

The nebulous glimmer inside the pebble seemed to have become slightly more active, conveying a clearer, more stable, harmonious, and orderly rhythm that had settled impurities.

Sure enough, this thing has an auxiliary effect on the cultivation and control of the power of [Quiet Dust Star]!

It may even help stabilize the mental sea and accelerate recovery after the [Star Power Tide].

Rowling was secretly delighted; the exploration of the ruins had yielded more results than expected.

Ellie walked behind, her eyes occasionally glancing curiously around.

Although the scenery of the wilderness is desolate and monotonous, careful observation can always reveal something new and interesting:

Unnamed little purple flowers stubbornly bloomed in the cracks of the rocks.

On the distant hillside, several goat-like creatures with curved horns and gray fur leaped nimbly.

A dark shadow hovered in the sky; it was unclear whether it was a hawk or some other bird of prey.

She felt as if a new window had been opened to her eyes and senses.

In Blackrock, she had never felt the vastness of the world and the rhythm of nature so clearly.
