Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 48 Wizard Islands and the Origins of the Necromancer's Guild
Rapid Growth Technique (Mastery 1%↑)
After reaching the "Mastery" level in the art of rapid growth, its ability to accelerate plant growth finally surpasses that of the "Perfect" growth technique.

Ronan channeled the power of the Ancient Tree Longevity Technique into the magic model of the Rapid Growth Technique, and spread his hands out.

Instantly, an even larger emerald beam of light descended directly upon the natal tree of immortality.

The vitality within the natal tree of immortality immediately intensified.

The tree roots extend into all parts of the flowerpot.

The branches and leaves gradually became lush.

The trees are slowly rising in height at a rate imperceptible to the naked eye.

Spiritual Plant: Life-Giving Tree
Year: 69↑

The number of years associated with the "Tree of Longevity" in one's birth year is steadily increasing.

At the same time, the blessing from the Heart of Nature is becoming stronger and stronger for him.

You have received the blessing of the Heart of Nature.

[Current Status: Plant Affinity.]

[Status Effect: When near a plant, Strength, Spirit, and Mana are amplified (the amplification percentage depends on the plant's quality and quantity).]

[Increase rate: 4%↑]

[Raising range: 8 meters]

'If only I could carry my natal tree of immortality with me.'

Ronan couldn't help but think to himself.

In this way, he can continue to gain an increase.

However, the current natal tree of immortality is already sixty centimeters tall.

Judging from its appearance, it is already the size of a typical landscape bonsai.

If it's still planted in a small flowerpot, he can take it with him.

But nowadays, he can't exactly carry a potted plant around everywhere.

This will attract the attention of others.

The natal tree of longevity has a brown trunk from which more than ten branches branch out, each bearing small green leaves.

It looks much the same as other landscape bonsai.

But only Ronan knew that it was continuously absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Fortunately, the wizarding world has an exceptionally high concentration of energy particles, so the speed at which it absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth goes unnoticed.

If this tree were planted in a shantytown in the True Immortal Realm, where spiritual energy is relatively scarce, the flow of spiritual energy in the surrounding area would be very noticeable, and it would definitely attract the attention of others.

'However, my little attic only has this one tree, which is a bit conspicuous.'

With that in mind, Ronan went out for a while.

When we arrived in the lower town, we strolled around the flower and plant market.

I bought five kinds of potted plants, some with flowers and some with trees, and brought them back to the attic, where I placed them together with my birthplace, the Everlasting Tree.

Meanwhile, he went to Diagon Alley and bought three magical tree plants.

The ability to absorb energy particles to grow is a characteristic of magical plants.

These three magical plants were placed on the attic balcony, where they were placed alongside my birth year tree and other ordinary flowers and plants, making my birth year tree less conspicuous.

After all, among so many plants, the natal immortal tree is not the only tree that absorbs energy particles.

The only tree that can feed him the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is his natal longevity tree.

Only he knows about this.

His connection with his natal tree of immortality is extremely mysterious. Not to mention others, even he himself can only sense it, but cannot observe it at all.

He tried using his divine sense to scan back and forth between himself and his natal tree of immortality, but could not detect any connection.

What exactly is the origin of the "Ancient Tree Longevity Technique"?

Suddenly, this thought popped into Ronan's mind.

If the cultivation world is rich in spiritual energy and has abundant spiritual plant resources, the "Ancient Tree Longevity Technique" would definitely be sought after by cultivators.

'This might be an ancient cultivation method left over from a period when spiritual energy was abundant in the cultivation world.'

'If I could find the source of this ancient method, I might be able to obtain spells and techniques as profound as the "Ancient Tree Longevity Technique."'

'Perhaps the True Realm Sect still preserves ancient methods,' Ronan thought. However, as a rogue Qi Refining cultivator with no relatives or friends, he had no way of entering the True Realm Sect.

Only rogue cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage will be invited by the True Realm Sect.

'Practice diligently.'

Ronan exhausted all his magical power and then sat cross-legged on the bed.

He used the Ancient Wood Longevity Technique to restore his magical power while simultaneously improving his cultivation level.

……

Evening, Wild Deer Bar.

Ronan sat at the wooden bar, picked up a large wooden glass, and drank his mead.

"After a whole day of cultivation, it's nice to come here for a drink tonight."

Ronan savored the sweetness of the honey and the richness of the wine on his lips and teeth, thinking contentedly to himself.

"Ronan, what have you been up to lately?"

Paul, sitting next to me, chewed on his steak and said:

"Concocting potions and magic potions, cultivating magical plants, practicing meditation, or studying witchcraft?"

Ronan also put a piece of steak covered in sauce into his mouth: "Both."

"Your talent for alchemy is truly remarkable, but it's a pity that your aptitude for wizardry is lacking, preventing you from entering the Kingdom's Wizard Academy and learning from its professors."

Paul chatted as he cut the beef:

“There are other wizarding academies outside of Triumph City. They should be able to admit you, but the professors there are not very good.”

"Apart from the wizards of the six great wizarding families, the most powerful wizards from all the schools of thought in the kingdom are basically in Triumph City."

Paul took a sip of malt liquor, swallowed the beef, and continued:

"However, if you have the guts, you can try to find the Wizard Islands."

"I've heard that the wizards there are pure and mad, with only knowledge in their eyes. They might ignore your aptitude and take you in."

“But it’s dangerous there, isn’t it?” Ronan said.

He had heard Ah Wen mention that place before.

Madness, danger, opportunity, and knowledge intertwine.

A wizard might rise to prominence there, or he might be imprisoned there for hundreds of years, becoming a human experiment for other wizards, living a life where he can neither live nor die.

"of course."

At this point, Paul gulped down the beef in his mouth, looked around, then leaned close to Ronan's ear and whispered:

Do you know where the Necromancer's Guild originated?

“The Wizarding Islands,” Ronan replied immediately.

"How did you know?" Paul paused.

“You’ve said that, but it’s still there,” Ronan said.

'Besides, even Augustus I, the first king of the Kingdom of Valant, came from there,' Ronan thought.

Paul chuckled and continued, "I heard it from a professor at the college."

"He once went to the Wizarding Islands for a research project, stayed for five days, and almost didn't make it back."

"He said there are two places there, one is the Forest of Bones, and the other is the Temple of the Dead, where they are both researching necromancy!"

He guessed that the leader of the Necromancers was most likely from one of those two schools of thought.

"By the way, how's the Necromancer's Guild doing lately?" Ronan asked.

This was an organization that had once looked down on him.

"The wizards of the Wizarding Council have taken many actions, but they've only managed to destroy a few strongholds," Paul said.

“Necromancers are still active throughout the Kingdom of Valant, and even in Triumph City.”

"After all, necromancy is the art of studying death, and they claim that they can communicate with the necromantic realm and retrieve the souls of the dead."

"The mere act of 'bringing the dead back to life' is enough to attract a large number of followers, including nobles and wizards!"
