The once vibrant green leaves had become dull and lifeless, and the bark had turned a deathly gray. It looked listless, as if it were seriously ill. If it wasn't carefully cared for, it might die one day in front of Leo.
Leo could vaguely sense the Tree of Life's decline through their connection.
To be honest, considering the long-term space travel and ultra-long-distance space jumps, it's quite remarkable that this tree hasn't died.
After all, even he couldn't withstand long-distance space jumps, let alone this tree, which was just an ordinary living thing.
Yaoyao has chosen a location that is between Leo Wizard Tower and Alice Ice Palace.
"With volcanoes providing heat underground, the air above ground carrying the chilling aura of an Ice palace, and the calming elemental energy created by the two wizard towers, this is the best feng shui location we could find here."
Originally, Leo was quite satisfied with this location. The violent elemental aura of the Tower of Elements was much more stable here due to the influence of the two wizard towers. However, upon hearing Yaoyao's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Yaoyao.
What is meant by a "feng shui treasure land"?
Isn't this a curse that his Tree of Life won't live long?
Yaoyao realized she had said the wrong thing, and immediately covered her mouth, giving Leo a silly grin.
Leo shook his head helplessly, then casually struck the ground, blasting a large crater, which Benji, who had just delivered the order, planted the Tree of Life in.
After planting, Leo retrieved the Water of Life from the Shadow Space.
This small bottle contains only two hundred milliliters, yet it cost Leo over two million battle merits!
Yaoyao snatched the Water of Life from Leo's hand, jumped onto the branch of the Tree of Life, and carefully poured all the Water of Life onto the Tree of Life.
A miraculous scene unfolded: the life essence flowed along the trunk of the Tree of Life and into the tree itself.
After the Tree of Life absorbed all two hundred milliliters of the Water of Life, it instantly became radiant, having just been half-dead.
The thick tree trunk made a cracking sound, and the roots that had penetrated the ground seemed to come alive, rolling around in the soil and digging deeper to absorb more nutrients.
The tree trunk, like an inflated balloon, grew taller and thicker at a visible speed. Just a moment ago it was 25 meters tall, but in just a few breaths it grew to 30 meters, and the momentum of growth has not slowed down; it is still growing.
The once slightly dry branches and leaves now seemed to have absorbed a lot of water, stretching outwards like someone who had just woken up and was yawning.
One by one, the green leaves unfolded, transforming from withered to tender green.
And there were also newly sprouted green leaves, greedily basking in the sunlight.
In just a short while, the canopy of the Tree of Life spread out like a giant umbrella, shading the people below from the sun.
Leo clearly felt the cheers from the Tree of Life, which was much clearer than the previous way of expressing his emotions in a vague way.
Like Little Boy about to be born, eagerly exploring the new world.
Leo stretched out his palm, feeling the air flowing from his fingertips, and felt wisps of breeze blowing towards the Tree of Life.
Or perhaps it's a gentle breeze being drawn away by the Tree of Life!
"He's absorbing elemental energy. That's incredible! Just this little bit of the Water of Life is enough to transform the essence of his life."
Yaoyao stared wide-eyed, sensing a faint aura of elemental energy emanating from the Tree of Life.
Originally, the Tree of Life was just an ordinary plant; it could only undergo active transformation when infused with the energy of the World Tree.
Although the Tree of Life still maintains a connection with the World Tree, obtaining energy and vitality from the World Tree is still impossible.
This is a slap in the face to the World Tree!
Without the energy of the World Tree, the so-called Tree of Life is just an ordinary tree.
Now, thanks to the nourishment of the Water of Life, he has transformed into someone capable of absorbing elemental energy—a standard life energy level transformation process.
It's like the transformation from an ordinary person to Wizard Apprentice who can absorb elemental energy.
From now on, this tree has every opportunity to go further, and it's not impossible that it could even become a new World Tree.
Although this possibility is infinitely close to zero!
But even the most insignificant Wizard Apprentice has the potential to become the Supreme Lord, so why can't this Tree of Life become the second World Tree?
No life can extinguish a great dream!
For an ordinary plant to transform into an energy plant, it's unknown how many years it would take, or how much opportunity it would require.
Among all life systems, plant life is second only to inorganic life in terms of cultivation difficulty.
But now, with just a small bottle of the Water of Life, all the difficulties are instantly resolved.
This is a miracle of life, and even more so, a miracle of wizarding civilization!
It's also a miracle of energy crystals!
That's the advantage of having a super-powerful civilization behind you. As long as you pay the price, things that seem impossible in other worlds can be easily accomplished here.
The Water of Life, which can give life to plants, is a treasure on par with the Planetary Core!
"Goodness, if we could graft some fruit onto this, wouldn't it be an energy fruit? It'd be worth much more than Fire Essence Flower!"
Yaoyao stuck out her little tongue and licked her lips. Anything that is associated with energy is essentially linked to energy crystals.
Hearing that Yaoyao was still obsessed with the grafting, Leo reached out to hit him. This was his own Bloodline descendant; how could he be grafted?
Upon hearing Yaoyao say it was valuable, Leo suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a scene seemed to flash through his mind.
He quickly took out the World Tree branch that the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard had compensated him with, and examined it carefully in his hand.
What are you doing?
Yaoyao looked at Leo staring blankly at the branch in his hand and asked in confusion.
Leo stared at the World Tree branch in his hand, his tone filled with a rational yet mad undertone, "What do you think about grafting something onto this World Tree branch?"
"A level seven World Tree, if it were grafted with some fruit, even if its level were lowered, it wouldn't be too bad, right?"
Level 3,
"As long as the harvested fruit is of level three, a single fruit can be sold for several thousand energy crystals."
By the end, two greedy glints flashed in Leo's eyes; he was stunned by his own thought.
This isn't growing fruit, it's practically growing energy crystals!
Plant an energy crystal today, and you'll harvest a whole bunch of energy crystals this autumn!
Yaoyao was stunned by Leo's words, her whole body trembling. "This tree branch is two thousand meters long. How many fruits will it bear? If it succeeds in one harvest, it can sell for hundreds of thousands or even millions of energy crystals."
"If we had this many energy crystals, wouldn't we be able to buy whatever we wanted?"
"Buy him a few floating islands, and I can raise as many Gulu Beast Gulu Beast I want. I could have a different one to play with every day."
"How do you graft something of such a high level?"
Fantasy is fantasy, but in practice, it's impossible. Ordinary grafting isn't difficult, but this is a branch of a level seven World Tree, an existence that can manipulate multiple worlds at will.
Even if Leo wanted to, he couldn't possibly make a small cut in him.
"Go to Knowledge Trading Platform; they're sure to have what we need there."
As Leo spoke, he and Yaoyao vanished in an instant, leaving Benji standing alone, bewildered in the wind.
Benji wasn't disappointed by being left behind by Leo; he just felt that Leo and Yaoyao were both quite crazy.
They dare to do anything. With only level two strength, they dare to use level seven materials, not even afraid of failing and damaging that tree branch. Even a small damage would result in a huge loss of energy crystals.
If this tree branch were his, he would sell it for a high price immediately. A level seven material shouldn't be hard to fetch several million energy crystals, right?
Leo was too impatient, or rather, the temptation of grafting fruit onto the level seven materials made him unable to wait, so he directly used Shadow Walking to reach the office tower.
What would normally take Benji three days to fly there, Leo covered in just half an hour using Shadow Walking at full power.
The only problem was that it consumed too much mana; half an hour of Shadow Walking depleted 40% of my total mana.
Leo didn't rush to the Knowledge Trading Platform immediately; instead, he first went to collect the Wizard Medals subsidy energy crystals he had accumulated over the years.
I haven't received the medal subsidy for eighty years. It's 240 energy crystals per year, but I received 19,200 energy crystals in one go.
The enormous sum transformed Leo from a penniless pauper into a well-off Level Two Wizard in an instant.
With these three wizard medals, Leo no longer needs to worry about energy crystals. He can use more of his battle merits to exchange for resources that cannot be bought with other energy crystals.
Holding a huge sum of money, full of audacity,
Urged on by Yao Yao, Leo strode headlong into the Knowledge Trading Platform, seemingly oblivious to his Yaoyao.
Write your question about grafting branches of the Level 7 World Tree into the crystal ball, and then wait for its reply.
That's the kind of confidence that comes with having money.
Perhaps the Knowledge Trading Platform behind the crystal ball has never received such a rudimentary question before.
What sane wizard, upon obtaining level seven materials, would immediately research whether they could be used to graft fruit?
Isn't the goal to improve one's combat effectiveness?
The wait was quite long. After the crystal ball displayed the information, Leo stared at the contents in deep thought, stroking his chin and wondering if Yaoyao had led him astray in his research.
Seeing Leo's expression, Yaoyao curiously approached the crystal ball and saw that it clearly stated...
"This platform has not found any theoretical basis or practical operation procedures for grafting grade 7 materials."
"For help asking the wizard about your problem, it is recommended to refer to the following documents to resolve your issue."
