Albert heard Locke confirm that this was the site of an Advanced Breeder's Finite-Element Single-Component Analysis Cultivation Method and immediately looked around excitedly, recording everything in the surroundings.
Although he was not a Breeder, as a Botany wizard, he was naturally deeply interested in this famous method Advanced Breeders used to cultivate First-Ring Magic Plants.
Albert sighed. "Legend says that the successful evolution of every First-Ring Magic Plant was built upon millions of years of ecological evolution in nature. Behind the success of every First-Ring Magic Plant lay the failed evolution of countless Apprentice-Level Magic Plants."
"Countless small evolutionary advances gathered together to form the Plant Essence of a First-Ring Magic Plant. Therefore, if Breeders wished to cultivate a First-Ring Magic Plant, their methods could not possibly be as simple as they were for Apprentice-Level Magic Plants."
"When Advanced Breeders cultivated First-Ring Magic Plants, it was like creating an ecological miracle. They used a wizard's own intellect to make up for the details of ecological evolution accumulated over hundreds and thousands of years, which was why they needed the Finite-Element Single-Component Analysis Cultivation Method."
Locke nodded, affirming Albert's words. "Indeed, an Apprentice-Level Magic Plant often only needs a certain Plant Factor within its Plant Essence to mutate before it can undergo enormous changes and improvements in its traits."
"But the number of Plant Factors that need to mutate successfully in a First-Ring Magic Plant is enormous."
"It is systematic."
"Therefore, if one wants to create a First-Ring Magic Plant from nothing, it is impossible to rely solely on the three major cultivation methods and the Mana Resonance Cultivation Method."
"Simply improving a First-Ring Magic Plant, on the other hand, can be done with the usual three major cultivation methods and the Mana Resonance Cultivation Method."
Locke raised his right hand,
