Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 339: Wind Element Particle-Fixing Magical Plants and Green Manure Magical Plants
Locke took out one hundred Jade Iris Lichen plants and five hundred magical vines of mixed varieties from his astral ring. He commanded the ten dwarf-shaped golems to scatter and plant these magical plants on the forest floor, once again strengthening the forest.
"Wood element particles are a type of composite element particle. Essentially, they require seven basic element particles, earth, water, fire, wind, light, darkness, and aether, these seven basic element particles mixed in certain proportions and structures to become wood element particles."
"Therefore, plant growth requires large amounts of the seven basic particles to grow quickly. Aside from light element particles, plants generally don't directly absorb pure elemental basic element particles. So plant growth must absorb some composite elements."
"Light element particles can be obtained from sunlight, water element particles can be obtained from water, and darkness, earth, and fire elements can all be obtained from the earth. Even fire element particles exist within heavy metal elements. Dark elements exist in the earth in the form of certain composite element particles. High-grade nutrient soil contains this basic element particle."
"The only things forests and plants cannot easily obtain are wind element particles and aether element particles."
Knowledge about ecology flashed through Locke's mind.
Therefore, forests needed symbiotic plants. They needed symbiotic plants in enormous quantities, needed massive population groups, because plant growth needed to obtain the seven basic element particles from objects composed of different composite element particles in order to obtain wood element particles.
Wind element particles generally only existed in the air. This was difficult for tree-type magical plants to obtain by themselves.
Therefore, they needed some symbiotic plants that fixed wind element particles, such as ferns, lichens, legumes, and shrub-type magical plants to help tree-type magical plants obtain them.
This was also why forests needed layers of ferns and shrub-type plants.
And this point, Locke had already discovered in his previous inspections. Jade Iris Lichen itself was an excellent wind element particle-fixing magical plant. It would obtain wind element particles from the air, bring them into its roots, and nourish the soil near its roots.
So he also needed a type of aether-fixing magical plant. Aether element was extremely difficult to obtain, but every living body contained it within.
In other words, generally large amounts of corpses were needed to obtain aether element.
This was also the secret behind why places with many corpses had lush vegetation.
That is to say, what could contribute large amounts of aether element particles were the corpses of animals and plants, or some plant that could be produced in large quantities and die in large quantities.
Locke had originally focused his attention on Wiregrass Bull Sinew, but later found it wouldn't work. This thing was really too tenacious. Its wood element particles formed woody fibers, making its form extremely difficult to decompose. Therefore, it wouldn't release too many aether element particles into the soil.
Instead, it would absorb too much nutrition, causing soil degradation in an area. The losses outweighed the gains.
Therefore, Locke chose his magical vines. He wanted these magical vines to serve as green manure plants.
Of course, he could actually also put large amounts of nutrient soil mixed with humus into this land, which could also allow plants to obtain stable aether element particles.
After doing all this, Locke noticed that the Forest Sanctuary had become several degrees more powerful.
Moreover, it was now the second day.
At this time, the entire forest already had taken shape. There were trees, lichens, and vines. It was becoming lush and full of spring vitality.
Locke set up some daily parameters here and configured the daily work procedures for the ten dwarf-shaped golems, so that after he left, these golems could still maintain this forest.
After finishing everything, Locke was extremely satisfied. "According to the information Wizard Lewis gave me, wizards can use magic to accelerate the forest's lifespan."
"After doing all this, I'll wait one year for these magical plants to completely adapt. Then the first stage of the forest will be completely formed."
"One king of magical plants, Scorched Earth Holly, one tree-type magical plant, Two-Ball Plane Tree, plus three types of magical vines as green manure magical plants contributing aether element, and Jade Iris Lichen as wind-fixing magical plants contributing wind element particles. This forest ecology can already cycle on its own."
As long as the source problems of wind and aether were solved, then other elements could actually be obtained from the natural environment.
Locke had already noticed that the current Forest Sanctuary had undergone some qualitative change. The energy cycle had been preliminarily established and was beginning to feed back to him.
This meant that three months later, he could plant new First Circle tree-type magical plants inside this forest and once again increase the external spell library positions inscribed in his permanent defensive field.
Locke thought, "But I still need to enhance my psionic energy. Otherwise, my distributed network psionic energy cannot accommodate so many magical plants."
Locke opened the second bottle of Hive Mind Potion in his hand and drank it down. His psionic pool rose with the tide and became larger again.
"It looks like I should try to purchase more Hive Mind Potions from the market. But I haven't even gathered enough money to buy a Druid's Ring yet."
"The Forest Sanctuary magic is very good, but it's also a big money burner."
"Druid's Rings have a price but no market. Even if I wait for one, the price definitely won't be cheap."
Locke turned and left the research facility, quickly flying toward the outside of the Forbidden Forest. "It seems I need to think of other ways to obtain a Druid's Ring. Otherwise, I won't be able to gather the money to purchase a Druid's Ring in the short term."
"Moreover, I still need to carefully consider which First Circle tree-type magical plant to transplant in three months. Besides, purchasing First Circle magical plants also requires a huge sum. Money is needed everywhere. If I could use the Synthesis Cube to modify and create a tree-type magical plant most suitable for me, that would naturally be best."
After leaving the Forbidden Forest and returning to the territory of Lilith's Cottage.
Locke quickly returned to his laboratory, calculating future plans in his mind.
He looked at Yuri standing at his laboratory door and was stunned for a moment. "Oh, sorry, I forgot that two weeks ago I had you come find me today."
"Hmm, it's almost ten in the morning now? I just had some things to attend to, so I made you wait longer."
Yuri immediately bowed humbly to Locke. "No, no, Senior Locke, I'm just a wizard apprentice. No matter how long I wait for you, it's reasonable."
"Senior Locke, this is the data from experiments I did on myself before."
Locke took the materials she handed over and quickly flipped through a few pages, frowning. He directly skipped the experimental process written in the materials and looked at the raw materials Yuri used to place the aging curse on herself.
This part had no problems but he looked at the potion Yuri used to remove the curse from herself. It was actually Bear Spirit Bile Potion.
Locke looked at Yuri. "You bought so many Bear Spirit Bile Potions?"
Yuri nodded, "Yes, Senior Locke. I discovered that when taking Bear Spirit Bile Potion to remove the aging curse, it can slightly increase mana."
"I used this mechanism to continuously curse myself, then remove the curse."
Locke nodded. "In the process of using your own magic resistance to resist curses, it indeed slightly increases mana, but this increase method still has limits."
"Moreover, it's too dangerous. One careless move and you'll permanently damage your soul. But that's not what I'm asking you. I'm asking you how you could possibly have so much money to buy so many Bear Spirit Bile Potions listed in the materials and drink Bear Spirit Bile Potions like water?"
Under Locke's gaze, Yuri swallowed and said, "No... no."
"I didn't buy genuine Bear Spirit Bile Potions. I bought Bear Spirit Bile Potions from a shop in the Chimera Market that specializes in selling gray-market items, one of Lady Irina's shops."
"Those Bear Spirit Bile Potions were all products where the quality wasn't so good during refinement, or where wizard apprentices attempting to improve the Bear Spirit Bile Potion formula added some strange but useless potion materials." Yuri said with a red face, "To save money, I could only purchase those defective Bear Spirit Bile Potions."
"But I was very lucky and didn't encounter any problems."
Locke handed the materials back to her.
Yuri asked with confusion, "Senior Locke, won't you look at it more?"
Locke shook his head slightly. "No need. I've already roughly guessed the truth of the matter."
"Do you know about the Abyss Potion Material Paradox? It's a niche hypothetical theory in Abyss potion studies. I now suspect that in a certain batch of inferior Bear Spirit Bile Potions you purchased before, there was a wizard apprentice potion master assistant who had read about this paradox and added some Abyss creature material to the potion formula."
