Chapter 47: Arcane Garden
There is also a spell called Lingwu, which is a derivative of the fog spell. It can provide sufficient magic and water for plants that lack vitality and moisture, having an extremely nourishing effect on aquatic magical plants.
In the sequence of Kokuryuu's magic, there is this spell. The magical core of the cold ice frog that was absorbed contains the mist technique and the icicle technique. Through absorbing this magical core and bursting forth with the bloodline of the magician, Kokuryuu naturally also grasped these two techniques.
In the magical space within the crystal ball, Guagua studied this Spirit Fog Technique. Soon, he completed his research and mastered the technique. Next, he attempted to contact the great wizard Xilang through the crystal ball.
"Master, master, your servant Gua Gu is calling you." Gua Gu called out.
Having no choice but to ask Xilang for help made Gua feel very awkward.
"What's going on?" Xi Lang's cold voice came over, without a hint of emotion.
"Kuwa continued: 'I want to tame the wild plant species and provide enough food for our tribe. So I'd like to borrow the Otsuka Garden.'"
Xī Lǎng furrowed his brow. The foundation of the Aozhou Garden had been built, but it had never been put into use. Because most of the magic was used to supply the production of a single magical item.
On his workbench, a crown-shaped embryo made of Luminous Sun Gold was flickering with enchanting magical light. This piece of gold was obviously exchanged from the Spider Fairy as precious material, and on top of the crown, there were several empty holes waiting to be inlaid with powerful magic gems, while on the other side of the table, a few refined Bloodstone crystals were scattered about.
"Alright, I'll open up a plot of land in the Arcane Garden for you. The time limit is one month. You'd better make haste and complete your experiment." Xiran replied.
"Yes, master."
Then, the iron key on his chest suddenly lit up, emitting a magical glow. The light burned for three seconds before dimming down again. Gū Guā knew that this key had now opened up access to the Arcane Garden.
He brought five well-grown ice-cold fruits and twenty ice potatoes, as well as a small bag of wild blue valley seeds, all packed in his own double-shoulder bag, which was made by referring to the backpacks of his previous life. It can be effectively fixed on the back, will not slide down randomly, and can also free up both hands, very convenient.
Gua stood in front of the crystal ball on the second floor, grasping an iron key with both hands, ready to cast a spell to go to the layer of the Arcane Garden.
After going through the crystal ball literature, Guagua knew that in general, the mage towers were mostly accessed by stairs between floors, and it was rare to set up a teleportation array inside the mage tower. Firstly, it is easy to trigger time-space turbulence, if time-space turbulence occurs during some critical experiments, it would be terrible. Secondly, it is also because of frugality, for mages and wizards, magic power is very limited and needs to be used sparingly.
To adopt this method of transmission to reach each floor, there are only two possibilities. One is that the things on the upper floors are too important and cannot be easily exposed in front of others. The second situation is that the actual transmitted floor is not on top of this mage tower, but in another unknown place.
No matter which possibility it is, it all points to a huge secret! Perhaps knowing this secret means death, or perhaps knowing this secret can turn one's life around and become the master.
Kuwa was very particular about this and seriously analyzed every piece of information, with a guess about the secret in his heart. Kuwa opened the magical passage leading to the Arcane Garden.
A flash of light passed by, and Gua squinted his eyes. After a slight feeling of weightlessness, he arrived in a vast, uncultivated garden.
No light source, but natural light is everywhere. A stone-paved country crossroad divides this large garden into four sections.
However, what surprised Gua was that there was nothing on these four pieces of land, only four temperatures were set up on these four pieces of land. Preliminary observation suggests that the temperature of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter should be set.
That is to say, this arcane garden was only half-finished and Xiran had yet to plant any kind of flora here.
"To control this Arcane Garden, all you need to do is communicate with your contracted beast and the crystal ball. And also the magic storage pool on the crystal ball, use them as you please." Xilang's voice rang out.
"Thank you, master," said Gua Gu in a light tone.
In the winter, on that piece of land, Guagua put down his backpack and planted these twenty-five plants, and in the Alchemy Garden, set up different environments for these twenty-five plants. Next to it, neatly planted twenty nests of Blue Valley seeds, also setting up different growth environments, such as temperature one degree higher, humidity one degree more, sunlight time ten minutes longer, etc.
After setting up the growth environment for these plants, Guagua adjusted the clock that stimulated plant growth in the Osthur Garden to its highest level. He wanted to understand the properties of these plants as soon as possible and domesticate them into household plants, which would be planted as a staple crop in Pailos City.
Icefruit is an economical and magical fruit, planting more of it will surely have its own use.
Valley melon had never observed the growth of these three crops on the spot, so he picked up his e-book and started recording planting notes.
Within three days, a growth cycle has already ended. After recording and analyzing the characteristics of these three crops at all times, Guagua adjusted all temperature, humidity, and light conditions to the environment in Pilersburg, starting rapid natural selection, selecting the most suitable crop for actual planting.
At the end of each cycle, Gua would select the best-growing and most fruitful individual plant to replant its seeds, while harvesting all other seedlings as crops. This was still what Gua had learned from a wise Westerner with the surname Meng before his high school entrance examination.
A month passed quickly, and Guagua conducted nine rounds of screening on these three crops. In this one-month period, he finally mastered the use of the Law Master's Hand to a state of perfection. After layers of selection and cultivation, these three plants were finally domesticated and could be cultivated artificially, becoming real crops.
Among them, the yield of wild potatoes and blue wheat has reached 120 kilograms per 100 kilograms of sowing, reaching a level of 300 kilograms per 100 kilograms of sowing. The yield of Binghan fruit has not been improved, but a variety that is very suitable for the environment of Payersburg has been selected.
On the last day, Guagua used magic to carry away all the grains and ice potatoes harvested during this period, as well as the icy fruit. The blue valley harvested more than 200 kilograms, the ice potato harvested more than 150 kilograms, and the icy fruit harvested a backpack of about 20 kilograms.
