The last 2000 yuan

The next day, Niannian came to Shurenhong with a basket containing a baby milk dragon as usual.

Shurenhong didn't talk nonsense, and directly opened a tree hole for him to enter.

Enter the tree hole after thanking you all the year round.

"You don't have to thank me. I just gave you a chance. How much you can learn is up to you, and you are risking your life."

Even though Shurenhong said so, she was still grateful to several Shuren all the year round, especially Shurenchen from the Gate of Omniscience.If it wasn't for the two drops of tree sap he gave, he wouldn't have been able to get Hong's attention, let alone reach the old treant Jing, and get the chance to spy on the secrets of the most primitive magic symbols.

Entering the tree hole this time, he didn't fall into the sea again, and he didn't see the old tree Renjing and the little tree Renchen again.

He came to a huge and boundless forest, and he sat on the top of a big tree. The wind blew through the forest, and he heard countless voices.

The wind stopped, and those voices still didn't stop.

This is the tree people talking, and they are talking through spiritual power.

For many years, I found that I could understand what they were saying without any hindrance.

These treants... No, the woods he was in turned out to be just a single big tree, and he was talking to a dozen or so treant friends in the distance.

They were chatting, and a hexapane was mentioned.

Hexaarms were born with six arms, but they mentioned that this ape was born with only two arms and was considered crippled by the whole hexaarm family.

Moreover, this crippled two-armed ape is still weak in constitution. He was bullied by his peers since he was a child. In the forest where the six-armed ape lived, there happened to be a tree man. The tree man saw the two-armed ape pitiful, and even his parents ignored him The brothers and sisters also bullied it, so they took more care of it on weekdays. Because of the tree man's care, the two-armed ape finally grew up safely after stumbling.

After growing up, the two-armed ape was still rejected by the same clan, so it decided to leave the clan and go outside.

But the outside world is more dangerous. The two-armed ape is injured almost every day, but it is not willing to give up just like this, it yearns for strength.And among all the creatures it knows, the tree man is the wisest one, so it carries the best fruit it thinks and the best monster it can hunt, and comes to the tree man, begging him for a way to become stronger .

The tree man asked the ape that even if this method of becoming stronger would make it extremely painful or even die, would you be willing to accept it?

The Two-Armed Ape said without hesitation that it would take any pain that would make it stronger.

So the tree man gave the two-armed ape a strange symbol, and asked it to carve this symbol on itself.Once this symbol disappears, it is necessary to re-characterize.

The two-armed ape learned this symbol, and it used its rather sharp claws to carve this symbol on its abdomen. The process was very painful, but as long as it stopped, it would fail to carve this symbol.

The first portrayal failed, the second, third...

Mottled scars were left on the body of the two-armed ape, as long as its arms could reach it.

Finally, the two-armed ape successfully carved a complete spell symbol on the back of his foot.

The magic spell lighted up, covering his whole body, and after a while, the light disappeared, and the two-armed ape felt that his whole body was full of strength, and its muscles, bones, and flesh were much stronger than before.

Sadly, the symbol disappears every full month and the two-armed ape has to be re-painted.

What the tree people were talking about was that the two-armed ape found the tree man again, wanting a long-term and effective way to maintain the effect of the symbol.

He also wanted to know this method all the year round. He was also very curious about this two-armed ape and wanted to meet him.

As soon as he thought about it, his body disappeared from the top of the tree, and he seemed to have also turned into a two-armed ape, and was sent near the two-armed ape by a gust of wind.

The two-armed ape was crawling in front of a big tree with no edge or crown visible.

A human face emerged from the tree, talking to the two-armed ape.

"Do you really want to keep the function of that symbol for a long time? In fact, you don't have that symbol now, and you are already stronger than your brothers and sisters. The function of that symbol is to absorb external energy to strengthen your physical fitness. After so many years , your physical strength has been raised to a very high level. Even if you don’t portray it anymore, you are still a strong man in this mountain forest, and no one can laugh at you or bully you anymore.”

The words of the two-armed ape are very simple, and it only conveys one meaning: it wants to be stronger, and it wants to keep that symbol for a long time.

"If you insist, I can tell you the method. To make the symbols stay on your body for a long time, you must use some magical medicinal materials. Use these medicinal materials to make potions, and then use these potions to carve symbols. You will spend a lot of time Learn how to identify herbs, how to handle them, and how to mix and prepare them. Maybe by the time you learn this, your life will be over. Would you like to do that? If you don't learn these, you can use what you have left Life finds a six-armed ape to give birth to a bunch of young apes, and then become the king of the six-armed ape family, and live a good life." The tree man persuaded the two-armed ape.

The two-armed ape persisted.

The tree man didn't persuade him any more, he told the two-armed ape the name, appearance and characteristics of the medicinal materials needed, and asked it to find all the medicinal materials before coming to him.And told it, which parts of these medicinal materials are needed, and can't destroy the whole plant of medicinal materials, it must only take the parts he requires.If it is necessary to take the whole plant, if possible, rebury a part of the root system or the seeds in the place where it grew.

He has naturally memorized everything the tree man said all year round. His spiritual power has reached the holy level, and it is easy for him to remember it by ear.

The Two Armed Ape agreed.But after leaving, it began to scratch its head. It had forgotten most of what the tree man had said to it, and only remembered a medicinal herb it had seen.

For many years, I felt that with the memory of this ape, it would be impossible to let it collect all the medicinal materials required by the treant.

The tree man may think that the ape is too greedy, so he thinks of a request that the other party will definitely not be able to meet to make things difficult for it, but if the ape really does it, the tree man will probably fulfill his promise.

Wanting to know the follow-up processing, proportioning and preparation methods of these medicinal materials all the year round, he approached the two-armed ape and talked to it with mental power: "Hey, can you see me?"

The two-armed monkey's head turned immediately to him, baring its teeth and making threatening noises.

Waving his two arms all the year round.

The two-armed ape seemed to be stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect to see another crippled ape like it.

The two-armed ape approached Nian Nian, sniffed at his neck, and let out a cry of disappointment.

With black lines all over his face all the year round, he understood that this two-armed ape wanted to mate with him, but was so disappointed to find that he was not a female.

"I can help you collect those medicinal materials. In exchange, you are responsible for protecting me. How about it?" Perennial wanted the ape to teach him how to draw the symbol, but he felt that the ape probably wouldn't let himself Teaching other apes the method of becoming stronger changed a condition.

As long as he stays with the ape, he can take a peek when he gets a chance.

The two-armed ape looked a little cunning in its eyes, and it nodded, agreeing to the perennial exchange terms.

Subconsciously vigilant all the year round.The ape looked at him with absolutely malicious intent.

But no matter what, one man and one ape began to cooperate for the time being.

All the year round, I only told the two-armed ape what a kind of medicinal material looked like, and asked it if it had seen it.If you haven't read it, describe the geographical conditions and climate where the medicinal material likes to grow as the tree man said, and ask if there is such a place near it.

This is much simpler for the two-armed ape. It has seen most of the medicinal materials, and it can find a more suitable growth environment if it has not seen it.

In this way, Perennial quickly found all the medicinal materials required by the tree man.And it may be because he has the aura of a tree person on his body, and his mental power is strong enough to communicate with plants. When he picks plant herbs, he basically does not harm the life of the entire plant. By communicating with the plant, he helped it replant part of it, and he also bought the magic [Dead Wood Spring] that specializes in treating plants.

In this way, none of the herbs collected by his hands died.

The two-armed ape returned to the tree man with the medicinal herbs collected all the year round.

The tree man hung down a soft branch, and gently swept the herbs, "It's well done."

A branch suddenly rolled over the perennial hidden nearby, "You collected these, right? This is all your breath, don't try to hide it from me."

All the year round, he could only nod his head, and at the same time felt two fierce gazes behind him.He didn't need to look back to know that the two-armed ape's expression and mood were not going to be very good.

In the process of collecting medicinal herbs, he discovered that the two-armed ape had a fierce and cruel personality, and he was extremely suspicious and jealous. If he hadn't seen him as useful, he might have killed him long ago.This kind of personality may be caused by the experience that the two-armed ape suffered when he was a child, but it has already formed its personality, and it is impossible to change it.

All the year round, we can only strengthen our guard against this ape.

"Open your mouth." The tree man said suddenly.

After hesitating for a second all the year round, he opened his mouth.

A drop of thick green sap dripped into his mouth.

Treant: "You have fulfilled my request. This is your reward for not harming these plant life. In the future, you will be able to communicate with plant life more freely and get their help."

At this time, he didn't know the benefits of this reward all the year round, and he thought that this drop of sap was similar to the tree Renchen gave him.

Show your gratitude to this Treant throughout the year.

The tree man swayed the branches: "Every life is very precious. If possible, it is best to ensure sustainable development. But some powerful beings that appear today don't understand this, and sometimes they let some kind of life Life is completely gone. I give you this reward, and I also hope that there will be more collectors like you in this world. If possible, you must pass on this awareness of sustainable development in the future."

"Okay, I will try my best." Perennial promised.

The tree man said again: "Although you are the one who collects the herbs, this two-armed ape is equivalent to completing the task I entrusted to it. Then, next, I will tell you the processing and preparation methods and the detailed ratio of these herbs. it."

I understand it all the time, the tree man is allowing him to listen.

The tree man explained the method in great detail, and he also expanded on the other functions of these herbs, as well as how to deal with them when certain effects are to be exerted.

The two-armed ape was in a fog, and after listening for a while, it began to doze off.

It is different all the year round. He has a good foundation in herbal medicine and pharmacy, and he has purchased a lot of related knowledge. What Shuren explained to him is like a teacher who is very good at lecturing. He dug up the details, and he was fascinated and inspired.

Moreover, no one in the tree people's understanding of plants could match them.When the tree man explained, he also mentioned the root of the plant's ability to produce certain effects. It said that plants would produce different medicinal effects due to different growth environments.It also mentions the difference between herbs that absorb a lot of mana and common herbs, and why some herbs absorb mana and others don't.

When listening to lectures all the year round, he would ask questions when he encountered incomprehensible places.

The tree man was not happy at all when he was interrupted to explain, but he was very happy to learn more knowledge all the year round. Not only would he answer his questions, but he would also spread out more knowledge points.

He has always been a treasure, and he never thought of coming to learn the spell symbols, but he gained something else, and this gain is not inferior to the knowledge of spell symbols.

This lecture is half a month past.

He eats the water he brought with him when he is hungry and thirsty all the year round, and he completely ignores the time.

Until the ape-man who woke up several times impatiently urged the perennial.

The tree man stopped to explain, "If you have promised it something, then fulfill your promise."

It was only then that I woke up all the year round, "Okay. What should I call you?"

The tree man laughed: "I don't ask who you are, and you don't have to ask who I am. My life is too long to remember every life I encounter. Just like this little ape and you, it is not The first life to beg me to become stronger, and you are not the first life to impart knowledge to me. Go."

Perennial still knelt down on one knee and gave a very solemn salute to the tree man before getting up.

He didn't leave with the two-armed ape all year round, so he found an open space nearby, took out his tools for processing medicinal materials, and started processing medicinal materials.

The two-armed ape circled around him and asked him some questions, as if wondering where he got those tools from and why he knew them.

The two-armed ape always felt that he was the smartest of his people, and he was proud that he was the only one among all the six-armed apes who was favored by the tree people.The six-armed ape tribe also knew the existence of this tree man, and they often gave some melons and fruits to the tree man, but the tree man didn't want it and returned them all.

The two-armed ape also vaguely knew why there had never been a major riot in the mountainous area where they lived, and it seemed to be because of this tree man.

The six-armed ape family has an ancient legend. It is said that as long as there are tree people, the place is the safest place in the world. If any race can live in the tree people's territory, they will no longer have to worry about terrible disasters such as sky fires, earthquakes and floods.

But now a new two-armed ape appeared, he seemed to be more liked by tree people than it, and also seemed to be smarter than it.

The two-armed ape was very angry. It had already decided that when the two-armed ape successfully prepared the potion it needed, it would kill him!

I ignored the two-armed ape all the year round, and devoted myself to preparing potions.

The method the tree man taught him didn't involve magic, it was simple configuration, and an ordinary herbalist could do it.

After making a potion all year round, I started to configure these herbs with magic power.

"Little guy, so you can use magic power." The tree man's voice entered his brain, and the tree man seemed very puzzled: "But why don't you have magic crystals on your body? Even the sea people and dragons have magic crystals on them. Are you The group of sea people who came ashore, but they don't know how to use magic, they use another kind of energy, they are called fighting spirit."

For many years, he wanted to say that none of the magicians he knew had condensed magic crystals, only monsters had them, and the sea people and dragons were actually counted among the monsters.

"It's weird, you're so weird. Little guy, are you willing to give me your body for a closer look? Don't worry, I won't hurt you. In exchange, I can satisfy your request. What do you want?"

Wanting too much all the year round, he said cunningly: "I want all the knowledge you know, is this a requirement?"

The tree man laughed loudly, "You are the greediest little guy I have ever seen, do you know how much knowledge I have? How about this, you give your body to me for research, and I promise not to hurt you, while at the same time I I can teach you how to use magic power to process medicinal materials, I just saw your handling method, and your use of magic power is still too rough."

"I also want to learn how to keep the magic power in the body." Said after thinking carefully all the year round.

The tree man was silent for a moment, and praised: "You are the smartest life I have ever seen. This involves the root of my tree man's life, how do you know... Forget it, I won't ask, although I am not familiar with the law of time. I understand very well, but I can feel that your time doesn’t belong here, and you won’t stay here for long. Well, I can teach you the method, but I don’t guarantee that you can learn it, every vital sign is different.”

All the year round, I thought that the tree man would do something to him, but the tree man only let him eat a leaf, and then brushed his whole body with a branch, and then began to explain to him how the tree man used magic power to process medicinal materials.

Perhaps because of the change of time, modern magic is divided into very fine details. The magician and magic books that teach you will tell you how much magic power you need to input to deal with certain medicinal materials, what kind of magic power you need, and what kind of magic power you need in the middle. tool.The method the tree man taught him was close to the essence of magic power, first let him understand what magic power is, then let him feel magic power, and then let him use magic power to complete all the work.

To put it simply, it’s like humans on earth use tools to understand, master and use electrical energy, but Shuren told Perennial that we don’t use tools, but directly use your body to feel, receive and use electrical energy.

The former allows people who don't know what electricity is to use electrical appliances to achieve some of their goals.The latter requires you not only to have a good understanding of electricity, but also to have a powerful body capable of receiving and manipulating electrical energy.

Fortunately, Perennial is no longer a beginner in magic. His magic level has reached level five, and his physique has been strengthened to the point of abnormality due to the mutant corpse poison. He also cultivated both magic and martial arts, turning his body into the best magic energy storage body. and conductors.

In the words of tree people, it means that the level of perennial tree people has barely reached the level of newborn tree people.

All the year round, I think that my level is barely reaching the minimum level required by your tree people, so there are really not many people in this world who can master your abilities and knowledge.

Tree people are not allowed to use tools all the year round. I always feel that tree people's approach is a bit biased. In fact, tools can save a lot of time.

The tree man seemed to know what he was thinking, and said without any sarcasm: "Tools are very useful, but can you be like me?"

The tree man stretched out a branch, and the branch turned into a refining table, and the leaves on the branch turned into crucibles, crystal bottles, and so on.

Perennial: "..."

The tree man said without showing off: "This is the correct use of magic power. If you want tools, use magic power to form them. Your magic power can be as high as your imagination. When you can Use magic power as you like, without even refining the process, as long as you get in touch with those herbs, you can get the ingredients you need from them, and then condense these ingredients into the medicine you need, you have initially mastered magic power. "

Perennial: Is this just a preliminary grasp?

The tree man smiled: "Are you muttering that this is still a preliminary? If your will can completely cover this world, and you can do whatever you want in an instant, then you have reached the intermediate level. Advanced is to leave this world, Understand the origin of the world and even the universe. When you can walk freely in the universe and destroy Hai'an Star at will, then your mastery of magic power is considered to be advanced. There are higher levels than advanced, but we tree people have not yet Who can reach it, or can’t pass it on to us, so I can’t tell you the exact answer. If you are lucky enough to reach that level, I hope you can tell me what it’s like.”

"I will try my best." I said this all the year round, but my heart was utterly horrified.According to this tree man, isn't Hai'anxing's so-called highest level of demigod level just a beginner level?And the gods are only intermediate?But some of the tree people have reached advanced or even higher levels?

"I'm just a beginner now. Children, learn to grasp the essence, don't be confused by appearances and mind. If you can't understand the essence of magic power, then just use it, don't be afraid of it, magic power is everywhere, you have to let go Mind and body to accommodate it, let it become one with you, but don't give up your consciousness. Some tree people in our race are too obsessed with the energy of magic power. Integrate into one body and become the energy of this world."

The tree man gently held Perennial's hand: "Come, feel the magic power with me."

Always close your eyes.

The two-armed ape seemed to sense something and rushed towards him.

But it was bounced off by a burst of energy.

The two-armed ape was very angry. He felt that the new two-armed ape had taken away a precious opportunity that belonged to him.It pounced again, this time it didn't want to make potions all the year round, it wanted to kill him now!

The treant gently whipped the two-armed ape with a branch.

The two-armed ape fell asleep immediately.

Opening his eyes all the year round, a crucible made of magic power appeared in his hand soon.

The tree man's voice sounded immediately: "Yes, your comprehension ability is very high. It seems that you should have come from a long time ago. Wisdom and knowledge need time to accumulate. Your comprehension ability is not only that you are smart, but also that you come from a It was a period when the accumulation of knowledge was very deep and the thinking of intelligent creatures was very broad.”

All the year round, I feel that these tree talents are the real wisdom, they can always see the essence through the phenomenon.

"That's because we have lived for a long time, and our knowledge can be shared and inherited." The tree man smiled, and said suddenly: "You don't have magic crystals in your body, but there is a magic power source space similar to the spiritual source space, where you still have The most basic understanding of magic. This is very interesting, but it's a bit like the seeds of fighting spirit that the sea people who came ashore said."

Perennial: "We are also called magic seeds."

"Magic seeds? It's a bit imagery. As far as I know, the sea people who came ashore had the seeds of battle qi because they came into contact with a huge meteorite that fell from the sky a long time ago and absorbed the energy from that meteorite." We Treants have never seen that meteorite, but the oldest among us said that the meteorite is rich in the breath of life, but that kind of life is different from our Haian star. He suspects that the sea people who came ashore and The life in that meteorite combined and mutated into a new life form. Have you also come into contact with that meteorite?"

"No."

"Really? But I not only found a magic seed in your body that is similar to the seed of battle energy, I also feel that your breath of life is different from that of Hai'anxing. Your body also contains a very ancient Huge life force, as if you can change the nature of your life at any time, turning yourself into another species."

Perennial: "Actually, I am a hybrid, a hybrid of ordinary human race and undead race."

Chang Nian was about to explain his origin, but the tree man stopped him: "You are a time traveler, so you don't need to tell me too many things about future generations. It will affect the development of future generations. If the influence is too great, another timeline will appear."

"Then if I appear here, will it have been affected?"

"No, your appearance here is the result that would have appeared in your timeline. And I won't let you talk too much, and it is also the development that I would have chosen in the first place."

It's a bit of a mouthful, but I understand it all the time.

After analyzing the tree man, he believed that the magic seed was likely to be a tool that some intelligent races or even higher-level existences in later generations referred to the fighting spirit seeds of the undead, and then condensed it to make it easier to learn magic and use magic power.

And this tool has also been carved into the genetic blood of life, and the perennial understanding has been carved into the genes.

"As far as I know, the only ones who can do this are our treant race." The treant finally mentioned the spell symbol, "We found that our treant will leave a special soul trace after death. Soul traces have their own functions. After we know this, we can find our own soul traces when we are alive, and later we named this soul traces as magic symbols."

It has not been said for many years that the magic symbol has become a curse symbol when it is passed on to later generations.

"Later, we discovered that we could apply these magical symbols to other life forms. For example, the monsters that appear now are the result of a joint experiment led by an old treant. Actually, I am not very in favor of using our treant The magic symbol to change other lives. However, many lives on Haian are indeed very fragile. If they do not improve their physical fitness and even allow them to use magic power, they will have no resistance in the face of disasters and some powerful hunters. Power."

The tree man pointed to the sleeping two-armed ape: "Just like this two-armed ape, it is very pitiful, but after it becomes stronger, it also becomes a bully, so I don't want to help it more unless it itself Learn. What did you promise it?"

"I only promise it to help it gather herbs, and let it protect me."

"Then don't help it make a potion."

Chang Nian: But I'm still waiting for the ape to draw the symbol so that I can learn that symbol.

"If you help it make a potion, I'll drive you away. You choose." The Ent seemed to be laughing.

Perennial: "...then are you willing to teach me that symbol?"

Treant: "Okay, as long as you can beat that two-armed ape, now."
