Chapter 144: Miraculous Seeds and Path People

The supernatural city-state Sheng Lande is itself an extraordinarily powerful miraculous being.

Sheng Lande itself is the existence of reproductive ability.

After humans integrated its supernatural traits, Sheng Lande's miraculous sequence tree finally coalesced.

Just like the supernatural sequence tree.

The miraculous sequence tree also gives birth to crystals.

And these crystals are the "miraculous seeds".

Whether in the West Continent or the East Continent, places that can produce miraculous seeds are few and far between.

And Sheng Lande not only can produce powerful miraculous seeds, but is also very stable.

Sheng Lande's miraculous seeds, like the supernatural equipment of Sheng Lande's dwarven artisans, are also sold far and wide at home and abroad.

It is said that outside, the price of miraculous seeds is not cheap.

"Splash—"

The rain curtain still remains.

The rain curtain of the gray night period still feels familiar.

The rain curtain beats upon Ta Ke's shield, coldly swishing into his clothing.

But now Ta Ke, who possesses the Flame Heart, not only has extremely strong fire immunity.

His resistance to cold is also extremely astonishing.

If Ta Ke wishes, Ta Ke himself is a walking violent blazing heat source.

On the plaza washed by the rain curtain.

From atop this three-hundred-meter-high, source-energy rumbling three-ring steam miraculous tower before him, Ta Ke slowly withdrew his gaze.

Like Ta Ke, waiting in the rain curtain were also a dozen or so wizards, casters, and similar supernaturals.

These people, like Ta Ke, paid money to come select miraculous seeds.

Not long after, an apprentice in blue robes of the tower opened the barrier gate.

"Come in all!" the blue-robed apprentice shouted to the crowd outside.

Those waiting outside filed in one after another.

"Just keep walking forward, submit your credentials, and you can go to the branch window of the miraculous tree to select a satisfactory miraculous seed."

"Then at the exit, collect three bottles of culture fluid; if you want a higher survival rate for the miraculous tree,"

"The soil pots of the fertile layer, higher-grade culture fluid, are also sold here."

The apprentice who let the people in also did not forget to promote their products.

Ta Ke, entering together with the crowd, curiously surveyed the tower's structure here.

【Tower Framework】 【Life Stone】 【Source Energy Conduit】 【Miraculous Traits】 【Energy Barrier】

A large amount of relatively luxurious supernatural traits have precipitated within these towers.

When these supernatural traits have been balanced by the steam super fantasia tower,

Then such a powerful steam tower also took shape.

It is itself a source-energy storage place, with strong defensive capability, and its controllers can also draw on the tower's power to resist intensity.

The tower itself will become a great war fortress.

And this is also why the Dark Sun Church dares not easily provoke Sheng Lande.

And this is also why many supernaturals want to build towers.

And the miraculous cottage is merely a reduced-scale version of the "mobile tower".

Although it lacks the outward form of a tower.

But once formed, the miraculous cottage's basic functions are very similar.

After passing through the retro granite corridor,

The miraculous sequence tree's location has been reached.

Inside the huge granite cavern on the right side.

Black basalt-like stone vines, following the deep conduits, have derived solid stone vines that cling to the wall of this huge hollow granite.

Inside the stone vines flows rich miraculous traits.

An astonishing stone lifeform.

This is the lava hearth tree stump, this is Sheng Lande.

Other casters, too, like Ta Ke, gazed curiously at the wondrous scene of climbing all over the miraculous tree.

One by one, fist-sized, variously colored, perfectly sealed miraculous seeds hang from the vine branches.

The number amounts to about a hundred or so.

Supernaturals can use various means to pick whatever they want.

Ta Ke's eyes narrowed slightly.

His precise vision discerned the world's patterns, rapidly unfolding.

At this glance, Ta Ke immediately discovered the differences among these variously colored and shaped miraculous seeds.

Some appear lifeless outside but have extremely vigorous inner vitality.

Others are consistent inside and out, looking decent but with only moderate overall strength, likely low cultivation survival rate.

Of course, some are completely dead inside and out, utterly stillborn.

Some have lively exteriors but nearly no inner life; they are joyful as seeds but utterly dead when they perish.

Ta Ke at a glance stabbed into the rock wall above, nearly embedded within it, hardly discernible as a miraculous seed among miraculous seeds.

Ta Ke's rune hand pressed directly onto it, exerting a gentle force.

This miraculous seed was firmly taken by Ta Ke.

This miraculous seed looked ordinary on the surface, and its shape was not very regular.

But its internal vitality was not only abundant and rich, it was also continually drawing in the lifeforce.

It belonged to the kind of powerful miraculous seed that still had room to grow.

At that moment, a voice sounded beside Ta Ke.

"The one you picked is not good; its survival rate is not high."

"Huh?"

Ta Ke frowned slightly and turned to look.

All that could be seen was a youth, about twenty, with delicate brows and clear eyes, an arcane mage, who was sizing himself up.

"I can help you pick a miraculous seed with an extremely high survival rate."

"But this is a paid service; it only requires 20 magic gold."

"A paid service?" Ta Ke raised an eyebrow.

The service industry of this miraculous high tower is too humanized!

"Well! Thanks, I don't need it; this one is fine." Ta Ke thought for a moment and politely refused.

That arcane mage youth didn't dwell on it, and immediately went to look for his next customer.

Soon, a relatively young girl mage purchased the paid service.

And that arcane mage with delicate brows and clear eyes did indeed pick out a miraculous seed that Ta Ke thought was not bad.

One after another, the arcane mage offered paid services to the extraordinary beings who came in.

What surprised Ta Ke greatly was that

This arcane mage really did have quite a good ability.

The miraculous seeds he picked were, eight or nine times out of ten, of good vitality.

"Not bad."

Ta Ke couldn't help but take another two looks.

However, what Ta Ke was looking at was not the other's ability to discern miraculous seeds.

But rather!

This guy actually was doing this kind of "business" inside this high tower.

If an ordinary person dared to do this, they'd either be kicked out or carried out.

And here the staff, or rather the high tower apprentices, turned a blind eye to the arcane mage youth's actions.

Obviously.

The arcane mage youth's behavior was tacitly allowed.

For such a "well-connected person" who has ties inside the steam high tower, is familiar with everything inside, and even has many channels, this is something Ta Ke currently needs very much.

Soon, many spellcasters had picked out the miraculous seeds they needed, and then went to collect the nutrient solution with great joy.

Among them, about half of the extraordinary beings purchased the paid service of that arcane mage youth.

"Can you tell me how you discern the survival rate of those miraculous seeds?"

While that arcane mage seemed to be counting how much magic gold he had earned this time.

Ta Ke walked up and asked.

As he sensed Ta Ke's approach, the arcane mage youth turned around and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"If you are willing to purchase the paid service, I can answer this question for free."

Ta Ke straightforwardly took out 20 magic gold.

A few days ago, he completed a transaction with Ba Jins.

After deducting the cost of purchasing materials, the amount of magic gold Ta Ke had on hand was 54,000 magic gold.

And this was only part of Ta Ke's wealth.

Ta Ke's three extraordinary storage bracelets on hand, added together, amounted to nearly 300,000 magic gold; Ta Ke's wealth was completely comparable to the bounty on his own head in the black market.

Ta Ke remembered that his previous bounty had been 320,000 magic gold.

Recently, Ta Ke heard in the tavern that someone from the Black River Valley had leaked that the puppeteer's death seemed related to the god-defiler Ta Ke.

Then his bounty went up.

Now, Ta Ke's head is worth 350,000 magic gold.

Such a high bounty even made Ta Ke himself a little tempted.

After receiving the money, the arcane youth immediately began to explain.

"I have long maintained the ecological vines of miraculous seeds; having come into contact with many, I can judge the survival rate of these life seeds through their size, outline, aura, color, and so on."

"I see." Ta Ke was somewhat enlightened.

This guy really is an insider of this steam high tower; he looks not like an ordinary apprentice, but rather a senior student with status.

"The one you just picked has a certain probability of being a good miraculous seed."

"But to be safe, the blue miraculous seed is better."

"If you change it now, there's still time."

Ta Ke looked at the miraculous seed not far away that resembled a blue crystal.

That was indeed a good miraculous seed, but compared to the one in Ta Ke's hand, it was obviously far inferior.

"Thanks, but I still feel the one I just picked is more suitable for me."

"By the way..."

In the midst of his thoughts, Ta Ke spoke slowly.

"I want to become a self-study student inside the tower; do you have a way for this?"

"The Arcane Wizard youth examined Ta Ke for a moment, then said: '100 magic gold, I will handle all the procedures for you to become a self-study student in this steam high tower.'"

"Of course, the self-study fee is 240 magic gold per semester; you need to pay it yourself."

"This semester, just after the start, your self-study fee won't lose much."

The other party's words made Ta Ke laugh.

This "person with connections" before me indeed has many connections.

He is the kind of guy Ta Ke likes.
