Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne

Chapter 148 The Great Emperor's Heart Rock

Pulling himself out of his reverie, Bai Mo immediately stood up and smiled in response to Feng Zhoulong's greeting:

"Haha, Researcher Feng, you're too kind. Just call me Bai Mo. I've long heard that Researcher Feng of the Demon Capital Mage Tower is a quick-witted and highly skilled master of magic research, so I've come here today to pay my respects."

"Bai Mo?! You're the Bai Mo from Shanghai who found a way to deal with the mountain spirits?"

Feng Zhoulong didn't pay attention to Bai Mo's polite words. He was a little surprised and looked Bai Mo up and down a few times.

He had studied that Wind-Seeking Guide for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what it was all about.

"It wasn't me, it was my partner, her name is Lingling, I was just offering her some help."

Bai Mo readily deferred all the credit, explaining that the mountain spirit incident wasn't something he did alone, and that he shouldn't be given all the credit just because of the Bai family's publicity.

"I see. I wonder how you developed this Wind-Seeking Guide. What are the secrets behind it? If it's inconvenient to talk about it, then just pretend I didn't ask."

Feng Zhoulong wasn't one to beat around the bush; he directly asked about his long-standing doubts.

"There's nothing I can't say. I don't know much about it either, it's like this."

Bai Mo first gestured for Feng Zhoulong to sit down, then sat down himself, and recounted what they had done at the time, as well as Lingling's research process.

"I see..." Feng Zhoulong nodded slightly, "I wonder what brings you here today?"

"Is that so? I heard that Researcher Feng is researching seed devourers?"

"Just call me Lao Feng. I'm doing this research, but I haven't received much support and haven't achieved any tangible results. The Devouring Seed requires nanocrystals, which are extremely precious and have many uses, so no one is willing to provide me with nanocrystals for research."

"Old Feng, I have Na Crystals." Bai Mo had been waiting for this sentence, and as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately got straight to the point.

His hand swept across the table, and instantly twenty earth elemental nanocrystals were neatly arranged on the table.

Upon seeing Feng Zhoulong, his eyes widened, and his hand trembled as he reached out to touch him, but he restrained himself out of embarrassment and smiled slightly.

"These are all earth elemental nanocrystals. To be honest, the purpose of my visit is to ask you to create a Devouring Seed. I wonder if this is enough?"

"Enough! How is that not enough?" Upon hearing this, Feng Zhoulong beamed with joy, took out a pair of white gloves, put them on, and carefully picked up a nano crystal to examine it.

"Actually, I already have a very mature research plan that guarantees success, but no one believes it, and no one is willing to provide me with nanocrystal experiments. You have too many; you can make two sets."

"Then make two portions. I also have a girlfriend, and she's also an earth elementalist." Bai Mo said seriously, since Leng Qing wasn't around anyway.

"Thank you, Brother Bai. Come on, I'll take you to the lab." Feng Zhoulong patted Bai Mo on the shoulder, put away the nano crystal, and led the way.

Five days later, Bai Mo held a container containing a Seed of Devouring in his hand and absorbed it as if it were an elemental seed.

He could clearly feel that within the magnificent dark golden earth nebula, a domineering and unique energy was merging into the entire magic system, eventually transforming into the original characteristics of the magic system. The slight discomfort he had experienced from absorbing the soul seed completely disappeared after acquiring this characteristic.

The Seed Devourer can preserve the spiritual seeds absorbed at the intermediate level, the soul seeds at the high level, and even the effects of the super-level celestial seeds.

Bai Mo's spirit seed has been covered by the Earth Core Soil, and the original, not-so-special effect has disappeared, replaced by the Earth Core Soil's effect—Ruyi.

The reason why the earth's core soil is called core soil is not only because it is buried deep underground, but also because of its side effects.

The "Wishful Thinking" effect allows the mage to change the solidity or looseness, heaviness or lightness of the rock and soil created by their magic, according to their will.

Therefore, his earth magic can be as solid as a fortress, or as changeable as quicksand; a piece of earth or stone can be as heavy as Mount Tai, or as light as a feather.

Of course, that's under the ideal condition of having sufficient cultivation level.

As a top-tier Soul Seed, the Earth Core Soil has pushed its Devouring Power to the highest level among Soul Seeds, namely a six-fold increase in power.

In addition, his magic now comes with two additional effects, thanks to the innate effect of the Fountain Pact.

However, Feng Zhoulong said that it is extremely rare for someone to absorb a soul seed at the intermediate level. He can still add spirit seed effects to the devouring seed, but it must be done immediately after the devouring seed is fused.

Therefore, long before the Seed was made, Bai Mo had already asked the Bai family head to prepare a top-grade earth-type spirit seed for him.

This spirit seed has an effect called "Broken Army," which grants his earth magic powerful durability and penetrating force, allowing him to break through even a massive army.

It is similar to Mo Fan's innate ability to withstand attacks.

The moment Bai Mo fully absorbed the Seed of Devouring, he immediately began absorbing the Spirit Seed.

The reason they dared to do this was that even if it failed, the nebula would simply reject the alien earth element, without any other side effects.

Just as Feng Zhoulong had said, Po Jun had completely merged into the Nebula. His innate talent, the Devouring Seed, seemed still reeling, instinctively absorbing the Spirit Seed's effects as if they were already present in the Nebula.

When everything was over, Bai Mo looked inward at his earth element nebula and suddenly saw as if he saw endless mountain clouds and seas of peaks.

A majestic, vast, and boundless aura, with its hidden sharpness yet concealing a profound and unfathomable power, emanated from Bai Mo.

Feng Zhoulong, who had been waiting outside, raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling as if he had come to a vast mountain range and suddenly seen the thriving life within it.

That ever-changing yet calm and natural feeling is too mysterious and unpredictable.

He knew that Bai Mo's soul seed was the Earth's Core Soil, but the Earth's Core Soil seemed to be far from this kind of aura.

He was somewhat curious about Bai Mo's spirit seed, but if it was just a spirit seed, it didn't seem to constitute that aura. What kind of additional effect could make everything flourish like this?

As the aura dissipated, the door to the quiet room opened, and Bai Mo walked out.

"Bai Mo, how is it?"

Feng Zhoulong immediately asked a question, explaining that being able to witness the birth of an incredible thing was his motivation for studying magic all along.

"Very good. My current Devouring Seed has the power of a top-tier Soul Seed. The Spirit Seed has the effect of Breaking Army, the Soul Seed has the effect of Ruyi, and with my innate Earth elemental effect, there are a total of three effects."

Bai Mo was very satisfied, and at the same time, he stopped hiding it and told everyone about his innate earth-type ability.

"A natural ability? No wonder..." After a pause, Feng Zhoulong asked again, "What do you mean by a natural ability?"

"The Yongquan Land Agreement..." Bai Mo explained the situation of the Yongquan Land Agreement, and then Feng Zhoulong showed a look of understanding.

He didn't know what this research fanatic had figured out, and he was too lazy to ask. But he did hear him suggest something else:

"Your Seed Eater now has three additional effects, so using the name 'Earth's Core' is somewhat inappropriate. Let's give it a new name!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo pondered for a moment. He also felt that the Earth Core Soil was somewhat bland. Although he generally didn't call out the names of elemental species when fighting, unless he wanted the magic to be stronger and more convenient.

Or maybe they just wanted to put on an act.

"My current Devourer is both agile and profound, both confident and sharp. Everything is as I wish, just like the unpredictable heart of an ancient emperor."

Bai Mo slowly said, "Let's call it the Great Emperor's Heart Rock."

"The Great Emperor's Heart Rock?" Feng Zhoulong muttered, glancing at Bai Mo's youthful face before nodding. "That does suit your age."

Bai Mo didn't say anything, but silently went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water. He was just a greasy middle-aged man, yet he secretly mocked him for being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

Can you call something like magic being childish or immature?
