Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 817: Completion of the Shared Imaginary Root!
A Jaeger Dream Flower fell from mid-air, and the entire River Styx seemed to be swept by a hurricane. A large number of Yaksha demons fled as if their lives depended on it. If it weren't for their special life structure, their bodies might have been shattered under the suppression of the magic pressure of this second-ring demonic plant.

Jaeger's Dream Flower landed on the surface of the River Styx. In an instant, a large amount of water from the underworld surged into the roots and branches of the dream flower, threatening to engulf it in the river.

At this moment, however, the imaginary roots of Jaeger's Dream Flower covered the river surface like a broom. The imaginary roots can not only enter the imaginary sea, but they are also a special plant root that has been specially modified and can enter high-energy-concentration environments.

The River Styx at this moment is a special environment.

Normal magical plant roots cannot survive in the River Styx. Magical plants without imaginary roots cannot grow in the River Styx at all.

Locke had already established a magical bond with this dream flower, so he chanted a spell and cast the [Ephemeral Dream] spell on the magical plant.

Locke's magic seemed to descend like a dazzling dream light, and then the fragrance of the Jaeger Dream Flower, so strong that it could be seen with the naked eye, drifted towards a certain location on the River Styx.

At that moment, a huge whirlpool appeared in that section of the River Styx.

Locke stood in mid-air and saw a section of the Netherworld Iron Tree and the Time Shadow Fern emerging from the water vortex. Under Locke's control, the fragrance of flowers transformed into a rope and headed towards the Netherworld Iron Tree.

The fragrance of flowers is like hitting a cold, hard stone wall directly, shattering instantly without any reaction.

Locke wasn't too surprised to see this. He controlled the fragrance of the flowers to turn into a rope and loop it around the Shadow Fern above the Underworld Iron Tree. The fragrant rope wrapped around the Shadow Fern, and then, as if they were blending together, the power gathered into it and completely merged into it.

Because both of them inherently possess magical powers that are grafted onto them.

As the Shadow Fern was pulled into the dream space of the Jaeger Dream Flower, it was as if the Land of All Spirits was also pulled in. When the Land of All Spirits was pulled in, Locke used it as a medium, like a fishing line, to fish out a portion of the power of the Underworld Iron Tree.

At this moment, the Land of All Spirits was slightly elongated, as if some object was bearing too much pressure and thus began to deform.

But I succeeded.

Locke looked at the Land of All Spirits and the Super Jaeger Dream Flower, which were stretched to their limits and somewhat deformed.

"Success! This way we can directly extract the power of the Netherworld Ancient Tree."

Locke changed into the Bloodwave Pineapple Wizard Shoes and manipulated the pink fragrance of the Ephemeral Dream Flower towards the wizard shoe covers on his feet.

Success or failure depends on this.

Locke focused all his attention, wondering what would happen next.

'Boom~'

After Locke connected his pineapple wizard shoes to the Dream of the Ephemeral Flower, he suddenly plummeted downwards.

"Hmm? Is this the pressure from the Underworld Iron Tree?"

Locke realized that the heavy downward pressure from the Netherworld Iron Tree was now being connected to the second-circle wizard's shoes on his feet through the slightly deformed fishing line of the Land of All Spirits—the Super Jaeger Dream Flower.

At this moment, Locke realized that the Underworld Iron Tree was probably not planted in the River Styx; on the contrary, this Underworld Iron Tree was trying to sink deeper and deeper.

The River Styx has the ability to allow consciousness to drift, which naturally causes objects submerged in it to float upwards. The combination of these two forces is what keeps the Iron Tree of the Underworld at a certain height.

Based on this idea, the Iron Tree of the Underworld should not have sunk to the bottom yet, but is floating in the middle of the River Styx, drifting with the current.

The iron tree of the underworld continues to descend, supported by the River Styx.

Locke realized that he was currently connected to the other party through the fishing line of the dream space, and would naturally be dragged down by the other party.

He almost fell into the River Styx.

Locke's permanent defensive force field shell clashed violently with the Styx River, and a forest collided with the river, but the next moment, Locke stopped falling.

Locke used something to support the Super Jaeger Dream Flower!
Botanical root habitat of Yunze Wetland!

For some reason, after entering the Underworld from the Rose Council, I was still able to use the Root Realm. However, once I left the Cloud Marsh Wetland and entered the Southeast Corner Region, I could no longer use the Root Realm.

Previously, I thought that the botanical root habitat of Yunze Wetland could only be used in Yunze Wetland, but now it seems that my inability to use the botanical root habitat of Yunze Wetland in the southeast corner area is likely due to some kind of agreement.

In short, Locke realized that the botanical roots of Yunze Wetland were coming into his magic through his clone.

As long as one has a body in Yunze Wetland, one can use the botanical root environment of Yunze Wetland in the underworld.

The root realm is naturally in the air, naturally at a height, and by using the botanical root realm to support the dream flower, it's like driving a nail into the Super Jaeger dream flower, preventing it from sinking further.

The pressure fell entirely on Genjing.

At this moment, Locke was as light as a feather, his wizard shoes resting on the River Styx without the slightest sign of sinking.

"The connection was finally successful."

Locke looked at the wizard shoes on his feet. "By using dreams and taking advantage of the fact that the consciousness of the underworld is greater than the soul, we can use the approach method. It's just that the current progress is not enough."

Locke looked at the Super Jaeger Dream Flower, "I still need a magic model from Carter Dunn called 'Enchanted Magic Model.' As long as he can develop it successfully, I can use the Super Jaeger Dream Flower to graft it."

"Although we haven't found a complete solution to reduce the cost of imaginary roots yet, it's sufficient for commercial development."

Locke glanced at the River Styx and found that there were quite a few second-ring magical plants floating on it. This meant that magical plants could grow in the River Styx without anyone interfering. Therefore, he could simply place the Super Jaeger Dream Flower in the River Styx.

The underworld is vast, and generally speaking, it is very difficult for wizards to come to this place.

Even creatures from the underworld wouldn't bother with an ordinary second-level demonic plant floating on the river.

Of course, to be on the safe side, Locke cast a [Dream of the Ephemeral Flower] spell on the Super Jaeger plant. A large amount of pink and white rose fragrance, like a sea fog, enveloped the river surface. Any life that approached this fog, even a demon, would be sucked into the dream space and turned into fertilizer.

"Safety is also simple."

Locke came up with a plan.

"I now have complete experience in cultivating Super Jaeger Dream Flowers. As long as I spend more time, equipment and money, I can cultivate more Super Jaeger Dream Flowers."

"As long as I use the second-ring version of the 'Twin Branches' technique, I can connect the spirituality of these magical plants and share dream space data with each other, so I can make multiple backups. Even if one is destroyed, I still have the remaining ones, so there won't be any problems."

Locke pondered the issue of security.

"Moreover, a single Super Jaeger Dream Flower is indeed not safe enough. The Netherworld Iron Tree continues to descend, incredibly heavy. If the River Styx hadn't provided me with a lot of buoyancy and borne most of the weight, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to resist the downward pull at all."

Locke sensed that his actions had disrupted the balance between the Underworld Iron Tree and the River Styx, causing the Underworld Iron Tree to rise slightly, though not by much.

It's only about 1mm.

Compared to the enormous iron tree of the underworld, it seems to be nothing at all.

"But if I connect a few more Super Jaeger trees, wouldn't that allow the Underworld Iron Tree to rise even higher?"

Locke pondered, "Of course, even if we connect a hundred trees now, it will only raise the Netherworld Iron Tree by one decimeter. My 'Twin Branches' technique can't achieve that. At most, it can connect a few Super Jaegers, and we'll have to come and maintain it every six months."

Locke scanned the second-ring magical plants on the surface of the River Styx. These were all wild magical plants, but most of them were recorded. He searched through them to see if they could be of any use to him.

"Let's go back to the Wizarding World first."

Locke pondered, "The River Styx is still quite dangerous. Wizards are different from magical plants; the River Styx poses a greater threat to beings with advanced intelligence."

Locke chanted an incantation, and a gate to the underworld opened.

He stepped out, leaving the underworld and returning to the mortal world.

……

Three days later, Locke returned the rented magic field and went back to Wizard Carter's dormitory.

At this moment, Locke took an enchanted spell scroll from Wizard Carter.

Locke examined it, but he didn't really understand it himself. He only knew that it was a special spell scroll that sealed enchantment spells. Once torn up, it could be used to cast enchantment spells on a target.

The enchanter had already cast the spell in advance and sealed it within this enchanted scroll, making the casting process simple.

Locke said, "Not bad, your efficiency is quite high." Wizard Carter's eyes sparkled.

"I was just stuck on breeding for a long time before, but in the field of enchanting, I had already planned it out and was very confident."

Locke looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Then you should become an enchanter, not a breeder."

"Moreover, your Dream Flower's breeding approach is only so-so, while its enchanting aspect is where it truly shines."

Wizard Carter said awkwardly, "Haha, the breeding section was revised by the witch Olivia. The original was even worse, while the enchanting section was my idea."

"But... Lord Augustine, to be honest, the best wizarding university in the Rose Council region is the Rose Council itself, and the best magical disciplines in the Rose Council are Breeder, Flower Language Master, and Magic Weaver. That's why I majored in Breeder."

"But before I became a liquefying wizard, I was actually a major enchanter."

"It's just that the status of breeders is higher in the Rose Council, they receive more resources, and the treatment is better, so I... I came here."

Locke gave him a deep look but didn't say anything more.

After all, I am just a donor.

Locke gave him a business card and said, "Your enchanting skills are quite good. If you can't continue working at the breeding academy here at the Rose Council, my shop alliance needs an enchanter."

Wizard Carter took the business card and looked at the platinum-gold business card that Scarlett the Witch had customized for Locke.

"Augustus Wizard Shoes..."

“I’ve never heard of it. Oh, no, I’m sorry, Lord Locke. What I mean is, I’m not very knowledgeable, so I haven’t heard of it.”

Locke didn't care; he figured his wizard shoes would soon gain real fame and no longer be a niche product.

Locke chanted a spell, summoning the Gates of the Underworld once more.

He entered the gates of the underworld and once again entered the River Styx.

Locke stood on the River Styx, tore the enchanting spell scroll in his hand to shreds, and then the magic within the scroll fell into the Super Jaeger Dream Flower.

A phantom enchanted blade appeared, its spirit manifesting, its silver strokes and iron lines engraving inscriptions on the dream flower.

"Although the time was a bit rushed, the craftsmanship is indeed quite good."

Locke nodded.

At this moment, a silver pen pattern appeared on the petals of the Super Jaeger Dream Flower.

"That's the completion mark for the Enchantment Spell Model: Forgetful of Home".

Locke's eyes lit up.

Although "Enjoying Life Without Thinking of Home" is only a crystallization-level spell, which is a first-level spell model, it requires the enchantment content to be designed in advance, so it is still quite difficult.

Unexpectedly, Carter managed to complete the spell in just a week and a half.

His breeding skills were only average, but his enchanting skills were truly impressive.

He is a talented person.

However, the other party seemed determined to become a breeder, and I had no right to interfere.

Locke used the "One Tree Cannot Support" technique to activate the Super Jaeger Dream Flower, and instantly he seemed to enter a pure silver infinite space.

This is a dream space that Carter designed in advance.

In this pure silver, infinite space, streaks of pure silver roses descend from the sky, creating an extremely beautiful and breathtaking sight.

Locke didn't care about that. He looked at a Time Shadow Fern and two Blood Wave Pineapple Wizard Shoes in this space.

He had one dose of Zero Potion left unused, so he used another dose to evolve a Great Bloodwave Pineapple Wizard Shoe.

Summon Crimson Deeps using a historical reenactment, then quickly intercept a portion of the river, and finally sever the spell model before the fallen angel crawls over.

At this moment, Locke took out his second-ring magic artifact and made grafting joints on the three magic plants. Then, he spent another hour grafting the Time Shadow Fern and a Blood Wave Pineapple Wizard Shoe.

After finishing, he spent more time grafting the Time Shadow Fern onto another large Bloodwave Pineapple Wizard Shoe.

"As expected, my guess was right."

"In this dream space, no matter how many times I use the grafting method, because I am in a dream, I can refresh and graft again."

Locke said, "In the dream, I can use countless magical plants and this Time Shadow Fern to graft together, indirectly drawing power from the Netherworld Ancient Tree."

"It's like being able to simulate a docking countless times."

“I can use a single Shadow Fern to graft countless magical plants. Back then, I made a decisive decision and did everything in my power to take advantage of the unique opportunity to graft the Shadow Fern onto the Underworld Iron Tree. Now it seems that it was absolutely the right thing to do.”

At this moment, Locke left the dream space and returned to the real world.

Inside the laboratory, Wizard Carter watched Locke return, somewhat puzzled, and asked Locke for an explanation.

"Sir, how is the situation?"

"What is this, sir? Your wizard shoes are quite unique."

At this moment, Locke's Bloodwave Pineapple Wizard Shoes had turned completely red. With the support of the power of the Underworld Ancient Tree, a situation that Locke had not anticipated had occurred.

The Bloodwave Pineapple Wizard Shoes, which had drawn power from the Iron Tree of the Underworld, suddenly received an enhancement to its stats, gaining at least a thousand magic pressure out of thin air.

This means that all of his wizard shoes will be able to gain an extra thousand magic pressure in the future.

This is undoubtedly good news for Locke, who is currently trying to catch up with the Wizard Shoes of Solas's Barefoot and Melochy's Magic Step.

'What exactly is the Underworld Iron Tree? I only fished out a little bit, and it's already enhanced my magical plants like this.'

Locke used a grafting knife to remove the imaginary roots of the two pineapple wizard shoes from his feet.

Wizard Carter was shocked. "My lord? Why would you damage such fine wizard shoes?"

Locke said, "Because it's no longer needed."

Locke waited for a while and found that the magic pressure of the wizard shoes had only dropped by 1000 out of thin air, but was still maintained at the level of 10000 magic pressure.

In other words, the Underworld Iron Tree can support 1000 magic pressure on a wizard's shoes with its own imaginary root out of thin air, and it can indeed maintain a pair of wizard's shoes without an imaginary root at the second ring by sharing the imaginary root.

At this moment, Locke closed his eyes. In fact, this pineapple was still attached to the Time Shadow Fern in the dream space of the Super Jaeger Dream Flower.

Therefore, a wizard who wears these wizard shoes is essentially hanging upside down on that underworld iron tree.

However, this is not a big problem.

With just a little enchanting magic, the wizard wearing the wizard shoes can isolate himself from the power and aura of the Netherworld Iron Tree. Furthermore, the Netherworld Iron Tree is a magical plant with little power attribute, making it difficult for others to detect anything unusual about it.

Wizard Carter looked puzzled. "Huh? Without an imaginary root, how can it still be a second-circle magical plant? Why is that?"

Locke said to Carter, "Wizard Carter, I have to thank you for this. You're the one who helped me do it."

Wizard Carter looked even more puzzled.

"My lord, it's me?"
