In Locke's office in the Saffron Peach Orchard on Golden Crown Mountain stood Julian, the Magic Wolf Giant, Nika, Planknia, and Wizard Celt.
Julian set a pot filled with nutrient soil on the desk. A loofah vine grew inside it, winding around the short bamboo stake planted in the pot and steadily climbing upward.
Julian also took a small watering device resembling a nasal spray from his pocket and sprayed some water onto the vine. The vine began turning transparent, taking on the color of water before becoming translucent in the air. When Julian chanted a spell, the loofah vine left the soil and wrapped around his left hand. Because Julian wore a pale blue wizard robe, the water-colored vine on his hand became completely invisible. An ordinary person would have struggled to spot the magic plant with the naked eye.
Julian said excitedly to Locke, "Teacher, this is the Water-Hiding Loofah Vine I bred over the past year."
"It's a Second-Class Wizard Apprentice magic plant. It starts becoming invisible when exposed to water. Although the original Julius Loofah Vine has powerful attacks, its attack patterns are predictable, and it moves rather slowly. Strengthening its attacks and thickening its vines made it impossible to improve its speed."
"So I thought of using the Grafting Cultivation Method to find a rootstock that could provide invisibility energy. When I grafted it onto a grapevine, I came close to producing a magic plant that turns invisible when it encounters water."
As a level-seven Child of the Element, Julian advanced extraordinarily quickly in magic. In a little over a year, he had become a Second-Class Wizard Apprentice, and now he brought this magic plant before Locke for inspection.
The Magic Wolf Giant scratched his head. He specialized in Potions and was unfamiliar with standards
