Chapter 289 The Right Path (Part 2)
"Also study the Aoki Sutra?" A flash of surprise flashed in Sunaifa's eyes.
Obviously, Gaode's proposal was somewhat beyond her expectations.
"Yes," Gothe nodded, but did not elaborate on the specific reasons. Instead, he changed the topic and asked Sunaifa: "What Ruian said that day has reduced the power of the Iceborn bloodline to the upper limit of only four rings. Is it true? "
Sunaifa was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then slowly said: "Yes."
"I am a pure-blooded Iceborn. Theoretically, the power of the Iceborn blood in my body should be the most powerful among all Iceborn."
"So, I was able to advance from the first level to the fourth level in just two years. However, after reaching the late stage of the fourth level, my strength stagnated. No matter how hard I practiced, it was in vain. I had reached the limit of the bloodline power in my body."
Gothe thought for a moment, then asked: "Is there any way to improve the ice bloodline?"
"The currently known method is to swallow ice marrow and then use the "Ice Condensation" ability in "The Secret of Ice" to enhance the power of one's ice bloodline. "Sunaifa gave an answer that Gaode already knew.
“Is there no other way?”
"Not yet."
Gothe added: "If I remember correctly, you said that if you want to upgrade the Iceborn bloodline, you need at least 400 drops of ice marrow of one level higher. Just like if you want to upgrade a three-ring Iceborn mage to the fourth level, you need 400 drops of fourth-level ice marrow." Fifth-level ice marrow? "
"That's not the calculation," Sunaifa corrected: "What I said before about improving from the third level to the fourth level means that it is a complete level from the early stage of the third level to the fourth level."
"I am already at the late stage of the fourth level, so I should only need 200 drops of fifth-level ice marrow to increase the power of my Iceborn bloodline by another level."
“200 drops of fifth-level ice marrow, the quantity is not important, what is important is” Gothe pointed out the most critical core issue: “Fifth-level ice marrow can only be condensed by fifth-level mage, and the current level limit of ice-born mage is only four-level, so The highest level can only be condensed into the fourth-level ice marrow. "
This seems to be an endless loop: there is no fifth-level mage, so the fifth-level ice marrow cannot be condensed, and the fifth-level ice marrow cannot be condensed, so the fifth-level mage cannot be produced.
This is the predicament that the iceborn mage is currently facing.
"That day Ruian said that the Iceborn bloodline was a complete dead end. If you want to go further, you must give up the Iceborn bloodline and find another way. If you want to take a step forward, it means that you must give up something. This is the right path." Gothe repeated what Ruian said that day.
"It seems that what he said makes sense. The Iceborn bloodline is indeed a dead end." Sunaifa's blue eyes stared at Gothe, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"However, I can only agree with half of what he said," Gothe paused and continued: "If you want to go further, you really need to find another way, but this does not mean that you need to give up the ice blood. "
He looked at Sunaifa and smiled: "Now do you understand why I asked you to practice the Green Wood Sutra at the same time?"
Sunaifa was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils suddenly dilated.
Seeing Sunaifa's reaction, Gothe knew that she had understood, "Yes, if you practice one more practice method, you can condense the fifth-level ice marrow with the fifth-level mage level after the other practice method breaks through to the fifth level, which in turn will lead to the improvement of your ice blood."
This is called getting rich first and getting rich later.
"In my opinion, you Iceborn should be the most suitable mage in the world to practice both spiritual practice." Gothe continued.
"The biggest disadvantage of practicing both spiritual practices is that the spiritual limit of the mage results in a limited daily practice time. In order to take into account the practice of multiple spiritual practices, the progress of the practice in each spiritual method will be slower than that of a mage who only practices one spiritual method."
"But ice-born mages are different. As long as your ice-born bloodline is strong enough, your mage level can be improved quickly, and you don't need to waste too much time on "The Secret of the Ice"."
"That's true." Sunaifa's eyes brightened a little.
"As for why it is the Green Wood Sutra." Gothe continued: "The reason is also very simple. First, the characteristics of this practice are very suitable for you."
"For you, the strength of the second practice method itself is not that important. The strength of "The Secret of Ice" is completely sufficient. The greater significance of the second practice is to improve your mage level, which will in turn promote the improvement of "The Secret of Ice"."
"Second, in my opinion, this path is not only suitable for you, but should be suitable for all ice-born mages."
"And the more people practice the Green Wood Sutra, the stronger the essence of the grass and trees will be, and the more obvious the effect of increasing the speed of practice."
"From this perspective, the Green Wood Sutra is the most suitable practice method for ice-born mage."
"Although it is difficult for vegetation to grow in the north, Yugathila can completely solve this problem after it is planted and grown."
"Of course, this will take some time, so I am not ready to fully implement the "Green Wood Sutra" in the tribe now, but only recommend it to you."
"After all, there is already an extremely powerful magic plant in Phoenix that is suitable for you. It can be used as a sacred object for you to practice the "Green Wood Sutra"."
"It's the Guardian Tree." Sunaifa is not stupid. On the contrary, it can be said that he is very smart. In fact, he has reacted to it a long time ago.
"Yes, it is the newly advanced Ice Jade Wutong. A sixth-level magic plant is used as a sacred object. The grass and tree essence provided by the Ice Jade Wutong alone is enough for you to quickly reach at least the fifth ring, right?"
"When the grass and tree essence provided by the Ice Jade Sycamore is no longer enough to bring much improvement to your practice speed, the forest I envisioned to be centered around Yugathila may have already been completed." Gothe even considered the longer term
"My king, I will practice this Green Wood Sutra of Immortality." No need for Gothe to say more, Sunaifa already responded without hesitation.
Hunted at the Fourth Ring Road for so long, with no hope ahead, how could Sunaifa not be anxious?
Now that Gao De has paved such a bright road in front of her, she is naturally very happy.
"However, I am not sure whether Bingyu Wutong will be willing to form a contract with you." Gaode raised his concerns.
"Yes." Sunaifa was extremely sure, with a slight smile on his lips.
“The mother tree of the ice jade sycamore tree is connected to the bloodline of Boreas, so it became the patron saint tree of our clan. I am a pure-blood ice descendant, with the blood of Boreas flowing through my body. I have a natural closeness and connection with the ice jade sycamore tree. With this origin, it will not reject me.”
"That's good." The last bit of worry dissipated, Gao De breathed a sigh of relief and handed the Aoki Immortality Sutra to Sunaifa.
"After memorizing the practice method of the Green Wood Sutra, you can try to form a bond with the Ice Jade Wutong."
Sunaifa took the Aoki Sutra and began to memorize it immediately.
With her strong mental power as a fourth-circle mage, it doesn’t take much time to memorize the practice method.
Subsequently, Sunaifa sat down cross-legged again and ran through the "Green Wood Sutra of Immortality" as described in the practice method to get started.
"My king, I can now make a contract with the guardian tree." She stood up, with a faint look of joy on her face.
"Let's go together, and I'll see what's going on." Although Gao De has been practicing the Green Wood Sutra for several months, he still has no idea about the process of forming a contract because he has not chosen a tree planting site.
Phoenix, the core spiritual place, where the Ice Jade Sycamore is located.
After the advanced level, the ice jade sycamore tree, which has reached a height of five meters, exudes the light of ice crystals, like a glass carving, dazzling and dazzling, exuding a refreshing chill.
“Then I’ll start.” Sunaifa walked slowly under the ice jade sycamore tree, looked back at Gothe and said.
After Gothe nodded slightly, Sunaifa stretched out his right hand and gently pressed it on the trunk of the Ice Jade Sycamore. Then he closed his eyes and devoted himself wholeheartedly to communicating with the Ice Jade Sycamore.
A mysterious and mysterious wave spread silently from the center of her palm to the body of the ice jade sycamore tree.
That is the channeling method included in the Green Wood Sutra of Immortality, which is used for contract communication.
In the silence, Sunaifa had already started some kind of mysterious communication with Bingyu Wutong.
After a moment, Sunaifa's eyes reopened.
"The Ice Jade Wutong has responded to my request for a contract. It is willing to become my sacred object and share its lifespan with me."
Sunaifa no longer hesitated and sat cross-legged under the ice jade sycamore tree.
She ran the "Green Wood Sutra of Immortality", and at the same time, she explored the ice jade sycamore with her spiritual power, slowly injected it into the deepest part of the ice jade sycamore, and began to merge with its weak spirituality, completing the process of forming a contract.
Gothe opened Mandela's magic eyes with great interest, turned on [Insight], and observed.
He saw streams of pure energy flowing from the ice jade sycamore to Sunaifa's body.
This should be the essence of vegetation.
And in Sunaifa's body, there is also a weak energy that comes from the same source as the energy from the Ice Jade Wutong. It is the magic power that she has just cultivated through the Aoki Immortality Sutra.
Since he has just started, he is still very weak, only the magical power of a first-class apprentice.
But now, with the help of the plant essence coming from the ice jade sycamore, this weak magic power immediately began to grow.
The grass and tree essence of the sixth-level magic plant is definitely a great tonic for the mana of the Green Wood Immortality Sutra that has just started.
After this process lasted for about half an hour, Sunaifa opened his eyes again and stood up.
"The guardian tree has become my holy tree. Thank you, my king, for the gift!"
With Sunai's fourth-level mage level, the process of forming the contract was easily completed.
"With the help of the Holy Tree, my progress in practicing the Green Wood Sutra of Immortality will not be inferior to that of Zhen Bing's Secret."
After establishing such a bond with Bingyu Wutong, she immediately felt the power and supreme potential of the Green Wood Sutra of Immortality. While she was delighted, she became even more convinced of Gaode.
"About how long will it take you to practice the Green Wood Sutra to the first level." Gothe couldn't help but ask.
Sunaifa thought for a while and gave an answer that made Gothe almost vomit blood, "About ten days will be enough."
Although the Ice Jade Wutong is a sixth-level magic plant, and although Sunaifa himself is a fourth-ring mage with strong mental power, it is easier to practice from high to low, but no matter how many "although" there are, ten days is still too exaggerated.
You must know that it took him two full years to advance from a first-class apprentice to a first-level mage.
"Okay." In the end, Gothe could only praise dryly, but he was also happy in his heart. After all, he was also practicing the Green Wood Sutra.
This further proves that his choice was not wrong.
"This is the right path." Sunaifa affirmed.
The next day.
The day after Gothe and Sunaifa returned to Phoenix from the Ice Temple, they left Phoenix again.
Following behind them was a small group of hunters, numbering a hundred people. However, Gothe and Sunaifa were one step ahead and did not go with the large army.
The two people clearly disagreed on the purpose of their trip.
Inspect the tree planting site recommended by Sunaifa yesterday.
"That bay, which we call Varar Bay, is actually less than four hundred miles away from Phoenix in a straight line, but there is Mount Varar in the middle, so it will take a little more time on the way."
"At our current speed, we can get there in about five or six days."
The two of them walked side by side.
Sunaifah rides a horse-like creature that is both real and illusory.
This is the product of the three-ring spell [Phantom Pony].
Gothe is still the snow wolf pet riding Elder Grant.
“Four hundred miles, that is, two hundred kilometers, if there is a flat and spacious road, riding a magic pet can make it from Phoenix to Valar Bay in one day.” Gothe murmured.
"That's true, but if you want to build a road in the north," Sunaifa hesitated before speaking.
Road building is a big project, especially building roads on the permafrost tundra that is covered with snow all year round.
The most basic thing is to have a sufficient population base to undertake this major project.
Even though the Zhenbing tribe is already the largest tribe in the north, its population is only 500,000, which obviously does not meet the condition of "sufficient population base".
In order to have a sufficient population base, there must be enough food and survival materials.
Under the natural conditions in the north, these seem to be castles in the air and cannot stand at all.
Gaode rubbed his brows and did not mention his ideas about food for the time being.
Things must be done one by one, and the planting of trees must be implemented first.
Three days later.
After climbing the Dandong Snow Mountain, Mount Valar, which has no reputation in the outside world, is indeed a bit too easy in Gaode's opinion.
Not to mention, this time there were both Snow Wolf and Sunaifa from the Fourth Ring traveling with him.
Hence, he and Sunaifah successfully crossed Mount Walar without any trouble.
Varar Bay comes into view.
