22: Chapter 22 Advanced Plantations

Finding an Official Wizard in advance to act as a mentor for guidance is, of course, a very rare and precious opportunity for oneself.

If not for a coincidence, Old Pulang would not casually recruit an assistant.

Official Wizards generally possess corresponding privileges.

Old Pulang also carefully investigated Ross's aptitude and found that he was indeed an apprentice with exceptional talent.

Not only did he have an affinity for the void element.

Judging by Old Pulang's strength as an Official Wizard, the degree of improvement in Ross's mental power must also be quite high.

Coupled with his understanding in the field of Magical Botany, as well as Ross cultivating an apprentice-grade Water Lily Magic Plant in an extremely short period of time, and his excavation of mana microorganisms.

He concluded that Ross was a wizard star with a boundless future.

Both parties hit it off immediately.

"As your mentor, follow me to my research institute."

Old Wizard Pulang, as a professor of Magical Botany, had profound research in magical plant breeding.

Elius Wizard Academy provided him with an advanced plantation within the Magic Plant Garden as his research center.

In the Magic Plant Garden, it was generally divided by plots of magic fields.

But Old Pulang's advanced plantation was surrounded by magic vines, forming an area similar to a log cabin structure.

These magic vines and their related structures were essentially products of alchemy.

A plantation built here could not only effectively prevent experiments from going out of control.

Once any problem arose, as long as the wizard escaped and closed the door, it could almost avoid the leakage and outbreak of experimental dangers.

Inside the plantation, Ross entered following Old Pulang's footsteps.

Ross looked into the plantation, where magic fields of various sizes were planned out.

Various kinds of magic plants were planted there.

Inside, some goblins were watering these magic plants.

The advanced plantation was planned with a scope of nearly two thousand acres.

These magic fields were filled with the energy of earth elements and water elements.

They could provide an abundant source of mana for the magic plants, and every magic plant grew lushly.

Of course, such a large-scale plantation could not be tended to by Old Pulang alone.

This was also the reason why these goblins existed.

Various weeds and bugs would also exist between the magic fields.

A goblin was using a rake to eradicate these weeds and dumping them into a cart for disposal.

Its companion transported the garbage filled with weeds and humus to the garbage area of the plantation.

The nutrition level of the magic fields in the plantation was very high, coupled with Old Wizard Pulang's meticulous care for the magic plants, so the nutrient content could always satisfy the growth of the magic plants.

Various weeds were always full of vitality and needed to be cleared out every once in a while.

Even a wizard could not effectively handle such a large area of weeds.

Life itself was fragile yet tenacious.

These weeds would evolve smaller seeds, which lurked within the magic fields.

Or they would intertwine with the roots and stems of the magic plants, searching for every nutritious place to stubbornly survive.

Ross picked up a weed, brought it in front of him, and observed it carefully.

He found that this was a wild plant infected by mana. If he remembered correctly, this should be called dodder.

It did not have any special effects and simply belonged to the weeds.

"When this patch of magic field was pre-treated, due to the improper handling of a Wizard Apprentice, the seeds of the wild weeds in the magic field were not cleaned out completely."

"Therefore, it caused the weeds in this batch of magic fields to run rampant and create an impact."

Old Wizard Pulang explained.

"That apprentice was dismissed by me because of this. Although it is excusable as an apprentice, after all, his mistake caused losses to the Magic Plant Garden."

"Of course, Ross, you don't have to worry. It's just that in Magical Botany, if you want to achieve results, you inevitably need to have a deep understanding of planting and rearing."

"These cultivation knowledge, I will teach you in more detail one by one next, rather than just that superficial knowledge in the Magical Botany class."

...

Whenever Old Wizard Pulang mentioned professional knowledge, it was as if he had divine assistance.

This feralized magic plant was not much different from ordinary plants, except for one point: its reproductive capacity had been strengthened, which was quite astonishing.

It was also one of the top ten most troublesome weeds encountered during the planting of magic plants.

Because these dodder weeds competed with the magic plants for nutrients, on one hand, they would undergo structural changes, and sometimes they would try every possible means to parasitize the magic plants.

If they were not dealt with for a long time, it was very likely to cause the magic plants themselves to be deeply parasitized.

In this case, it would be very difficult to eradicate them.

This was also the reason why these goblins were constantly busy.

If one wanted to eradicate them, besides buying some special potions for removal, one had to observe and eradicate them in time.

"In the days without classes during the next period of time, when you have spare time, you can come to my plantation to help out."

"You can follow these goblins inside the plantation to carry out some magic plant rearing work."

"Although your potential is very high and you progress very fast, some basic things cannot be effectively absorbed solely through the form of knowledge lecturing."

"At the same time, as my student, one of your perks is that you can select 5 acres of magic fields in the corner of the plantation to conduct your experiments."

Professor Pulang gave him—Ross—what seemed to be a huge surprise.

You must know that the monthly rent for 5 acres of magic fields is about 500 magic stones, which is a great gift for Ross.

If they were all planted with Water Lily Magic Plants, it could bring him a sum of magic stone income every month.

And listening to Old Pulang's words, he could dispose of these magic fields as he pleased.

Only that they could not be subleased to other wizards.

The teacher could certainly guarantee this point.

After all, subleasing to others would only yield a small amount of magic stones.

But if he could plant magic plants and harvest them, not only would his cultivation knowledge be improved, but the harvested magic stones would be even more.

"Generally speaking, it is not until one reaches the Level 2 Wizard Apprentice that one can apply for a mentor. At the same time, a Wizard Apprentice can also learn a Spell Model from the mentor."

"The exclusive Spell Model on my side is the Hand of Vines uniquely developed by myself."

"If you want to redeem it in the Hall of Knowledge of the wizard academy, you not only need to get my consent, but you also need at least 10 academy points or two hundred magic stones."

Professor Pulang said.

Ross had obtained a Spell Model in advance, and it was a Spell Model modified by an Official Wizard.

Compared to the conventional Hand of Vines, the effect was even more remarkable.

The effect and ability were even more remarkable.

This was a wizardry specially used for magic plant cultivation by Professor Pulang.

It was also a technology of Magical Botany in the apprentice stage.
