Forward-thinking Wisdom

Chapter 95 Forward-thinking Wisdom

In the Green Hut, the experimental table was surrounded by magic lamps, creating a shadowless space.

The liquid in all three test tubes was a dark green color. After smelling each one, Green couldn't help but show a disappointed expression, muttering, "Even if it's concentrated to this strength, it can only produce this weak voodoo? At most, after one round of mixed poison body tempering, the body will be completely immune to this toxicity, right?"

With a sigh, Green glanced at the broken branch and the black and red spotted insect beside him, shook his head, and threw them all into the trash can for collecting scrap.

"Never mind, with a 108 physique, even just one instance of poison-based body tempering is still a gain." Thinking this, Green collected the dark green liquid from the three test tubes, saving it for later use.

Voodoo that Grimm is immune to can be fatal to an average wizarding apprentice.

After completing the high-intensity, meticulous experiment, Grimm extinguished some of the magic around the experimental table. As the bright light in the room began to dim, Grimm's pupils gradually dilated, and his body relaxed slightly beneath his loose gray robe. (He wasn't wearing his Tri-Touch Armor; this wasn't combat time, but rather an experimental period, maintaining an air of mystery and leisure.)

Rubbing his tired eyes from the long hours of intense experiments, Green didn't waste any time. He took some bald kilonite from the other side of the lab bench, ground it into powder, and then carefully mixed it into a small clump of feces.

These droppings are the excrement of the green bats in the tree hollow of the giant tree in the Black Sota Secret Realm.

After shaping the small ball of feces into a size only a quarter the size of his little fingernail, Green thought for a moment, then took out a leaf from a low-level life form, crushed it, and after it reacted with other potions in a test tube, extracted a few drops of liquid that exuded a strong life force. He then dripped a drop onto the carefully crafted ball of feces.

After carefully shaping it into a ball again, Green even smelled the clump of feces; it had a rare and exotic floral scent.

With a smile, Green arrived at another small house.

After turning on the magic lamp, without looking at the small live animal and plant specimens being cultivated in the room, he went straight to a crystal glass container covered with a cloth. Green lifted the cloth covering the container and smiled as he looked at a golden fruit sleeping soundly inside.

This golden fruit was Green's greatest harvest from the giant tree in the Black Tower Secret Realm, and it was also called Golden Ginseng by Peranos.

However, this golden ginseng has changed from its previous appearance. Upon closer inspection, although the back of the golden ginseng has healed, a small but permanent "scar" is still visible on it, and the color of the scar is much darker than the surrounding area. Moreover, this golden ginseng seems to have grown a lot, and its overall size is much larger than when Green had just picked it.

"Waaaah, you bad guy, I don't want to eat anymore! Lilian is already full, waaaah..." Golden Fruit had woken up and saw Green staring at her with a strange and excited expression. She was startled and burst into tears. It was the innocent voice of a little girl.

Unmoved, Green placed the carefully prepared feces in front of the golden little fruit with a "kind" smile, and said softly, "Good boy...eat quickly, what do you mean you're full? You're at the stage of growing, you'll grow faster if you eat more, right?"

Green tried to put on a harmless smile, looking like a father trying to persuade his child to eat.

"Waaah, I don't want to eat! Lilya is really full, waaah..." Before she could finish her sentence, Golden Fruit started crying again, and even cried harder.

Green's face darkened, and he said indifferently, "Really not going to eat? If you're not going to eat, I'll have to give you a shot."

The so-called injection was because Green discovered that cutting off the flesh of the golden ginseng fruit would hinder its development. For the sake of some research, he had no choice but to use injections to extract the juice from the fruit to obtain some experimental subjects.

Upon hearing the word "injection," Jin Guozi immediately turned pale with fright.

With tears streaming down her face, Jin Guozi reluctantly picked up the food that Green had carefully prepared, stuffed it into her mouth, and looked at Green with a face full of grievance.

"Waaaaah, Liliana, eat! Liliana, don't want a shot! Waaaaah..."

Only after Green watched as the golden ginseng ate all the food and was about to fall into a deep sleep did he cover the container with cloth again and leave the hut with a slight excitement on his face.

After careful research, Green discovered that this Golden Ginseng did indeed, as his mentor Peranos had said, greatly nourish the human physique. Note the emphasis on "nourishing," not the brutal training of mixing poison with the body. Even though Green had only cut off about one-twentieth of the Golden Ginseng's flesh, it still increased his physique by one point, which almost made him want to devour the little thing whole.

However, Green's wisdom in the pursuit of knowledge prevented him from taking such a barbaric approach.

As Green delved deeper into his research, he discovered that this Golden Ginseng not only nourished the human body but also subtly repaired cracks in the life code! Although this so-called repair was negligible, requiring the equivalent of about five or six hundred fruits to produce noticeable changes, and was of no use to ordinary wizards, it excited Green, who even managed to suppress the urge to consume the Golden Ginseng before the Holy Tower Qualification Battle.

Green was, of course, excited.

Since it can repair the cracks in the code of life, does consuming a large amount of this fruit mean that Green's three secret great magic will evolve into the "infinite secret" great magic? Of course, there must be certain inherent limitations of the rules of life, but as long as there are enough Golden Ginseng, the birth of Green's four secret great magic is definitely a foregone conclusion.

After careful consideration, Greene finally gave up the idea of ​​consuming the Golden Ginseng before the Santa Qualifying Battle.

There are two reasons.

First, Green must seize every opportunity to research the Explosive Flame Spell. Green has been fully preparing for and researching this spell for more than ten years, all in order to achieve a qualitative leap in his wizarding leverage power and gain an absolute advantage in the Holy Tower Qualifying Battle.

On the contrary, if Green were to consume this Golden Ginseng, although it would greatly improve his physique, he would still need to spend a lot of time training to improve his basic attributes such as physique, strength, and vitality.

This could actually delay the research into the Grimm's Blazing Flame Spell.

Compared to the limited improvement these physical enhancements would provide to Grimm, if he successfully mastered the Explosive Flame Sorcery, which he calculated would at least increase his strength by 30 times, the power boost from these physical enhancements would be negligible. This is the fundamental reason why Grimm was willing to sacrifice some insignificant benefits and seize every opportunity to successfully master the Explosive Flame Sorcery before the Holy Tower Qualifying Battle.

Secondly, after discovering the use of Gynostemma pentaphyllum in repairing cracks in the code of life, Green conceived a long-term plan for "Gynostemma pentaphyllum orchard cultivation".

According to Green's estimate, it would take four to five hundred Golden Ginseng to repair his life code to the point where it could support four secret great spells. In other words, considering that there were only seventy or eighty Golden Ginseng on the mother tree in the Black Tower Secret Realm, Green would have to harvest them all six or seven times, which was obviously impossible.

Moreover, the body adapts more readily to this type of nourishing supplement. The effect will be greatly reduced if taken a second time, and the enhancement of physical constitution will be negligible after three or four times. Perhaps a dozen or so Jin Yu Ti Shen pills will not enhance physical constitution at all.

After careful consideration, Green finally abandoned the idea of ​​consuming Golden Ginseng before the Holy Tower Qualifying Battle and instead proposed the "Golden Ginseng Orchard Cultivation Project," a long-term plan so long that ordinary wizard apprentices would hardly even have such an idea.

This is another kind of wisdom of wizards: foresight.

Only after this did Green continue to feed Ginseng and other similar foods.

In a good mood, Green has gradually finished processing his gains from the Black Tower Secret Realm over the past few days, and has temporarily saved some of the things that are worth studying in depth later.

With these words, Green's life returned to order, and he was able to continue his research on explosive fire magic.

"The basic combinations and reactions of over four thousand runes in the water and fire elemental magic array within the soul have been preliminarily calculated and studied. Among them, sixty-nine stable combinations have been confirmed, along with twelve aggregated simplified magic array spell combinations and three basic elemental annihilation resonance reaction points. In that case... all that's needed is to fully construct a highly stable water-fire hybrid elemental magic array on the soul, and the Explosive Flame Spell will be complete! This is a powerful spell that uses the power of annihilation to stimulate the fire element, and it is also a preliminary application of the mysterious power of annihilation." Grimm's eyes flashed.

With less than three years until the Holy Tower Qualifying Tournament, aside from some time that must be excluded, Green has about two years to fully master the Explosive Flame Sorcery.

Time was indeed a bit too tight.

Tugged at his hair, and frowned, saying, "Forget it, let's use this time before the mandatory mission to learn about the mentor's Endless Eye modification magic, the three methods to advance to a formal wizard, and the trump card for the Holy Tower qualification battle. After the mandatory mission, we can focus on researching the Explosive Flame Magic."

With that thought in mind, Green tidied up his laboratory and left the room.
