Chapter 359 39 Drops of Liquid Mana
"Okay." Sunaifa agreed, not even caring about what Gaode would do with the flesh and blood of high-level earth-line creatures.
This thing is indeed not that rare and valuable in the north.
After all, before the emergence of Northwest Barley No. 1, the Zhenbing tribe was an atypical nomadic tribe, and hunting had always been one of the most important sources of food.
"My king, my "Aoki Immortality Sutra" has been promoted to the second level mage." Sunaifa thought for a while and took the initiative to reveal a piece of news to Gothe.
Although he knew that Sunaifa had reversely practiced the "Aoki Immortality Sutra" with a fourth-level mage level, and the sacred object was a sixth-level ice jade sycamore, his cultivation speed must be far faster than normal, but Gao De was still slightly shocked when he heard the news.
"After being promoted to the second level, the "Aoki Immortality Sutra" gave me a new ability."
"What is it?" After all, he also practiced this practice, so Gao De was extremely curious.
"Language of Nature, after possessing this ability, you can have simple communication with plants."
Sunaifa replied: "I gave it a try, because the plants themselves are not very intelligent, so most of the time the communication can only be limited to the most basic questions and answers."
· Plants are inherently dead to most people, and they basically have no defense against them.
In Gaode's view, this is the biggest advantage.
"I know," Gothe nodded to express his thanks. After thinking for a while, he added, "There is another thing. I didn't bring it up in the meeting just now. Now that I think about it, I should do it as soon as possible."
Not only out of respect for Gao De, but also out of genuine curiosity.
这段时间相处下来，已经数次验证高德每次提出的新奇想法，对于菲尼克斯的发展往往都能起到极为重要的作用
「既然已经开始进入吞并其它中小型部落，整合资源的阶段，那在扩城之前，其实是有必要展开一次人口普查的。」
「人口普查？」苏奈法眼中透露出一丝疑惑，又是一个高德式词汇。
“It means sending people to conduct a comprehensive survey and registration of the current population of the Zhenbing tribe, household by household, including how many households there are, how many people each household has, what gender, specific age, etc.” Gao De explained.
"This is a big project. It's the middle of the ice month now. This calendar is a bit hard to pronounce. In the future, these months will be simplified to January to December in the north. Now it's mid-November. Just try to complete the work before the end of this year."
And he did not pretend to be mysterious, nor did he seduce Sunaifa. He directly explained the significance of this move:
"Experience has proven that before large-scale economic construction and expansion, detailed population data is necessary."
“A comprehensive grasp of the basic situation of the tribal population will facilitate our deployment and investment in various public resources when expanding the city. And if nothing else, there will be some additional gains during the census process. You will know this when the time comes.” A mysterious smile appeared on Gothe's face.
"Okay, I will organize people as soon as possible to start working on the census." Although there are still many things that he cannot understand, Sunaifa obeys Gothe's order unconditionally.
Leaving the treasure house, Gothe unconsciously touched the six ice crystal jade boxes that he had collected in his arms, feeling an inexplicable sense of security.
The main purpose of returning this time has been achieved, and there is even an additional harvest: wolf blood ginseng.
He now urgently needs to establish his reputation as a genius so as to gain a higher status and status among the Sea Sentinels, so that he can do more things and exchange for more needed resources.
Wolf Blood Ginseng is a big help,
Although things in Lagos City are more urgent, Gothe can't stay too long when he comes back this time, and he is somewhat in a rush. But before that, there is one thing that must be done.
"Master, you have no conscience." The little man turned his head and refused to look at Gaode.
It's like a small pufferfish that swells up after being angered. It doesn't scare people, it just makes people want to poke it once or twice.
Flora's words were very brief.
But as a five-star "Flora Breeder", Gothe knew that what the villain meant by being heartless was that he had given Flora a bunch of tasks, but he was just like the shopkeeper who had been handed over and was at ease through "astral teleportation".
"Thank you for your hard work, Flora, during this time." Gothe hugged the little man and thanked him seriously.
"Humph!" Flora said nothing, just blindly dissatisfied.
"So, I specially brought a gift for Lady Flora from outside."
"A gift?" Flora finally turned her head, her big and smart eyes lit up instantly, and then she noticed that Gothe was carrying a large package on his back.
"Yes, a gift." Gothe took off the package and opened it in front of Flora. Inside were small cloth bags one after another.
The little man stared at the cloth bags without saying anything.
"This is the gorse beech tree species, and this is the Dorne fir tree species." Gothe smiled slightly, unwrapped the small cloth bags one by one, and showed Flora the contents.
These are all large tree species of different types specially collected by Gaude, with nearly seventy species in total.
Subsequently, Gothe took out several special and heavier small cloth bags.
In addition to tree seeds, these cloth bags also contain a small amount of soil.
"The black iron elm tree species, the adult black iron elm is a second-level magic tree, so this is a second-level magic tree species." Gothe raised the black mulberry-like tree seed in his hand to Flora.
This is the most precious one among the many tree species he brought back this time.
The wood of the adult Black Iron Elm is as hard as iron, and the trunk is dark black. It is often used to make armor or treasure chests.
Because of its powerful functionality and applicability, the black iron elm has always been a valuable magic tree that is in short supply.
However, the growth conditions of black iron elm are extremely harsh, and it can only germinate and grow on a kind of dark gray land called dark iron soil.
Even in Wilando County, the origin of the black iron elm, there is only a very small piece of dark iron land.
It is said that dark iron soil is formed by the decay of knights' armors and weapons that fell in ancient wars underground. It only exists in some ancient battlefield sites, so it is extremely rare and cannot be made artificially.
These harsh growing conditions have resulted in extremely limited production of Black Iron Ulmus.
However, the black iron elm tree species itself is not very valuable. After all, if there is no suitable land for planting, the tree species will be empty.
This black iron elm tree species was discovered by Gothe in a magic plant shop in the northern district of Dorne City.
The reason that finally made him determined to win was that there was a small amount of native dark iron soil above the tree species.
It is really a small handful, and together there is not even a fingernail. It looks like a layer of dust attached to the surface of the seeds.
But this is enough. With the power of Flora's earth energy, it is enough to create a large area of dark iron land for all living things.
"Singing fir tree species, golden chestnut tree species, fluorescent poplar tree species, ghost vine tree species, and sphagnum moss tree species." Gothe opened the remaining five small cloth bags and introduced them one by one.
Compared to ordinary tree species, the magic tree species brought back by Gaode are relatively limited. There are only six species in total, and except for the black iron elm, they are all first-level magic tree species.
"Do you like these gifts, Flora?" After showing the gifts he brought back, Gothe looked at Flora.
“You have some conscience.”
But not enough.
"Next time when the astral teleportation is about to come back, may I take Flora to play with you first?" Gothegod glanced at Flora's slightly opened wings again, thought for a while, and made new conditions.
"What's fun?"
"There are a lot of fun things."
"For example?"
"Listen to me, it's boring. Leave Lady Flora to play by herself."
"The Master makes sense."
"Should Lady Flora forgive me?"
"Can the four horses catch up?" Having been with Gothe for a long time, Flora also mastered many "Gothe-style vocabulary" under the influence of her ears and eyes.
However, because most of these German-style words are too complicated to understand, Flora often adapts them into "Flora-style words" based on her own understanding.
"Can't catch up." Gothe is already a Level 10 Flora language player and can communicate without any barriers.
“Okay, Lady Flora forgives you, mage.”
“Ms. Flora is so rich that she can hold a boat in her belly.”
"Huh?!" Flora was frightened. She looked at Gothe with vigilance and said seriously: "I can't pretend." While absorbing knowledge, he then stared at Gothe and said: "You can install the city hall."
"That's very generous."
"Of course."
Speechless for a while, the little man stared at Gothe for a long time, and suddenly flapped his small wings and flew to Gothe.
So Flora placed a small blue flower that looked like an ice sculpture in the palm of Gothe's hand, then raised her head and looked at him with her big eyes.
"Gift."
"Is this a gift from Lady Flora?"
"Yes," the little man stared at him and said, "Two, one for the mage and one for Master Flora."
Children's love is like this, pure and simple.
If she likes you, she will be willing to share with you all the things she likes.
Half and half~
Gaode looked at the little flower in his hand seriously.
This is just a very ordinary little flower.
Normally, it is not a magic plant and does not have any special effects.
But it doesn’t seem to be ordinary either.
After all, it grows on extremely cold snowfields and has amazing vitality.
More importantly, it is Flora's gift to herself.
Also, this is really a very beautiful little flower.
So.
"I like it very much, thank you, Lady Flora." Gothe said seriously.
Lady Flora made a humming sound with her nose and flew away happily.
She was still very happy all the way to Tianzhong.
Sent Flora away, Gothe came to his training room, sat down cross-legged, and took out the wolf blood ginseng he had just obtained.
His room is located in the core spiritual land of Phoenix and is extremely rich in magic power.
Even in Dorne City, there are absolutely only a handful of mages who can enjoy such a practice environment.
Although the magic power contained in Wolf Blood Ginseng is pure and easy to absorb, in theory it has no effect wherever it is swallowed and refined.
But for the sake of safety and to maximize the medicinal power of wolf blood ginseng, Gothe decided to swallow it in Phoenix, where the practice environment is the most superior.
Wolf blood ginseng is only about the size of a human finger bone, so although you only need to take its juice, in order to avoid waste, Gaode still chooses to stuff the whole wolf blood ginseng into his mouth, swallowing the juice and meat together.
After all, as a type of ginseng, it also has the effects of producing body fluids and quenching thirst, calming the mind and improving the mind, and replenishing vitality.
A touch of sweetness instantly spreads in the mouth. This sweetness is relatively refreshing, not the strong sucrose sweetness, but a natural, slightly refreshing sweetness.
Perhaps because of the rich juice, the taste is extremely crisp and tender, and there is not even the slightest fiber texture during the entire chewing process.
Hand in two bites.
A powerful and rich magic power, like a pot of boiling water, instantly spurted out in Gothe's body.
Gaode only felt hot all over, and even air flowed out of his mouth and nose.
There is an indescribable heat lingering in the lower abdomen.
He did not dare to hesitate, and quickly started running the "Aoki Immortality Sutra", guiding the pure magic power that filled every part of his body to his lower abdomen for absorption by himself.
These magic powers were concentrated at one point in his lower abdomen, forming a vortex and transforming towards the liquid mana.
Diliu!
The whole process was a matter of course and extremely smooth. In an instant, a drop of new liquid mana had condensed out of Gaode's body.
But the magic power filled in his body did not seem to diminish at all due to this.
The medicinal power of Wolf Blood Ginseng made Gao De overjoyed.
He calmed down and focused on refining these pure magic powers.
The mana vortex did not stop running for a moment, and a crystal clear light gradually appeared on Gothe's face.
The rich magic power contained in Wolf Blood Ginseng continued to flow into the mana vortex, and began to help him condense the second drop of liquid mana, the third drop, and the fourth drop
I don't know how long it took.
The rich magic power contained in the Wolf Blood Ginseng was mostly absorbed by Gaode, a small part escaped on its own, and finally all was consumed.
Gaode did not open his eyes immediately, but calmly felt his current state.
Before swallowing the wolf blood ginseng, he had a total of 26 drops of liquid mana.
After swallowing the Wolf Blood Ginseng, he immediately reached the sky in one step, reaching 39 drops of liquid mana. He was only one step away from the 40 drops of liquid mana required for the middle stage of the first ring.
Gothe felt the abundant magic power in his body, and after calming down his excitement a little, he slowly opened his eyes.
It’s cool!
This is the feeling of "krypton gold".
After one year of hard training, a drop of wolf's blood can't be absorbed into the abdomen.
The northern border is vast, much larger than the territory of the Plantagenet Dynasty. It is also inaccessible and its resources are unexploited.
It is conceivable that there must be many magic plants similar to "Wolf Blood Ginseng" or even more precious things on the snowfield.
As long as the Zhenbing tribe develops and grows, these will be within his reach.
"Development, development is the last word!" Gothe thought secretly in his heart.
