Chapter 79: Supernatural Ecology and Witchcraft Seed

Lamore Steam Tower.

The most longed-for is the 'Origin Energy Baptism Pool'.

Inside the Origin Energy Baptism Pool, one can quickly raise their rank.

For many supernatural beings over level twenty, who must spend large amounts of origin energy to develop their ecological frameworks,

One baptism can save several years of struggle.

And for another longed-for place,

that is the 'Supernatural Ability Conversion Pool'.

It's not that the Supernatural Ability Conversion Pool itself is anything special.

but because the Supernatural Ability Conversion Pool is often adjacent to the Supernatural Sequence Inheritance Ground and the Supernatural Spell Reserve Ground.

Especially the Supernatural Spell Storage Ground.

Here, for any tower cluster, it is a strategic core-level existence.

Entering, the Supernatural Ability Conversion Pool offers a half-price discount.

But purchasing Supernatural Spells here does not come with that discount.

Passing through the Magic Gate, one arrives at the 36th-floor tower.

Just upon entering, Ta Ke discovered that this floor, like the other tower floors, had been remodeled.

Those door frames that looked alive.

At a glance it was a Miracle Gate; perhaps behind it lay Lord Ao Bu Li's Miracle Cottage.

Ta Ke handed over the certificate from Xi Luo Er for participating in the Demon King's Tomb.

The female receptionist in light-blue attire immediately bowed and greeted.

"Welcome, brave one who participated in the Demon King's Tomb! I'm happy to serve you."

The voice sounded a bit mechanical, not quite like a real person.

Ta Ke took a close look, and his eyebrows immediately rose.

"An alchemy puppet? And inside it there is also a companion spirit."

"The companion spirit's intelligence and the alchemy puppet's agility complement each other perfectly."

"Have those puppet masters already started letting these summoned spiritual creatures replace their work?"

"If this method were applied in my previous life, it would definitely be milking capitalism."

"I want to learn some witchcraft."

Ta Ke stated his purpose.

"Alright, you may enter the Witchcraft Classic Snow Area, toward the back."

"All the texts in the Spell Sanctuary are presented as written introductions."

"You can note down the witchcraft you need to learn and purchase it at the exit."

"At the same time, brave warriors like you can enjoy a half-price discount when using the Supernatural Ability Conversion Pool now."

"Hmm!" Ta Ke nodded.

After putting away his certificate, Ta Ke walked inside.

The witchcraft Ta Ke had previously learned was cheap and inexpensive.

Although it could barely be listed as one-star level, it still lagged far behind witchcraft that contained a complete 'witchcraft seed'.

But if the power standard for one-star witchcraft is around 10 points, with good expandability, strong plasticity, and relatively rich potential,

then the basic power of those witchcrafts is basically only 5 or 6 points, with average expandability and plasticity, lacking much potential for deep development.

Two-star witchcraft has a basic power ranging from 20 to 30.

Moreover, the special attributes contained in two-star witchcraft will greatly enhance the damage and functional traits of countless instances of it.

As for three-star witchcraft, it falls under the category of runic witchcraft.

If the ecology is not strong enough, forcibly activating runic witchcraft may cause the ecology to be torn apart.

At the same time, runic witchcraft requires a corresponding runic ring staff, or the construction of a dedicated runic ecology zone within one's ecology, to skillfully master and cast runic spells.

The more powerful the means, the harsher the conditions for its use.

Besides that.

Runic witchcraft also requires a runic land with matching runic properties to be cultivated.

The Lamore Steam Tower City-State obviously lacks the ability to cultivate runic witchcraft.

The forces capable of seeking out and developing runic lands.

None of them are anything but ancient and mysterious entities.

In many great or small supernatural worlds, they have their legendary stories.

Normally speaking.

A witcher needs a sufficient amount of one-star witchcraft to cope with various complex situations.

Two-star witchcraft can already be regarded as a sure-fire trump card.

To form a fairly complete spell framework.

But Ta Ke can, on this foundation, go further.

The system's 'Origin Energy Experience' can precisely allocate points to the fine branches of witchcraft.

For example, it can greatly increase the casting speed of a witchcraft.

Or strengthen the explosive power of a fire witchcraft when it detonates.

Or again, for a piercing witchcraft whose penetration trait is not sharp enough, enhance its penetration while also boosting the spell's concealment.

Other supernatural beings, wanting to make fine-tuned specialized enhancements, find it extremely difficult; it truly requires investing large amounts of time and effort to study, and even drawing on corresponding supernatural traits to reinforce.

But Ta Ke only needs to use SSS-rank precision to find this direction; the rest can be left to the system.

No need to worry about aiming problems.

No need to worry about the problem of casting efficiency being slightly slow.

At the same time, also don't worry too much about the source energy consumption problem.

Thus the breadth of the spells Ta Ke selected is greatly enhanced.

Soon, Ta Ke stopped before three arcane shot-type spells.

One has a base power of 9, but is quick to pick up and has relatively high precision.

One has a base power of 12, is harder to master, has certain requirements for physical strength, and when released, its aim is somewhat esoteric.

The last one has a base power as high as 15.

No matter how Ta Ke looks at it, he feels this last one is better categorized as an 'arcane cannon' rather than a 'bullet shot' type.

This spell, as it charges, can reach the level of a two-star spell, or even higher.

That astonishing gathering of source energy, that long-term compression of gathered source energy, that astonishing explosive feedback.

One shot fired, if the enemy doesn't die, then it's the user who dies.

It is a means that leaves no retreat for the enemy and no survival for oneself, outstanding in its absoluteness.

But from these, one can see that they seem somewhat unbelievable spells.

La Mo Er's magic reserves are still quite good.

They have strong advantages, have weaknesses but not obvious, and are highly pliable spells.

This is the broad direction Ta Ke chose.

On the other hand, it's the compatibility with SSS-rank precision.

For example, when Ta Ke selected fireball-type spells, he chose the 'Nightmare Fire Oil Bullet', which has extremely high malleability and similarly possesses both 'condensed' and 'activated' forms of fireball-type means.

At the same time, this spell is truly a strengthened version of fire oil technique.

One spell after another is being selected.

Ta Ke's selection is very careful, examined with great certainty.

Even when encountering unclear points, Ta Ke still went to the entrance for a visit.

He inquired of that 'Alchemy Puppet' young lady.

The operator behind it obviously didn't expect this person to have such a sneaky maneuver.

However, seeing that the other party was only level 18, the operator somewhat understood.

That person then was not very enthusiastic in answering Ta Ke's questions.

It must be said, merely coming to the Spell Holy Hall of the high tower and gaining insight gave Ta Ke a completely new understanding of his magic system.

"Good things are good, but they are truly expensive."

Looking at the official prices of these steam high towers.

And then recalling his own magic purchases in La Mo Er's underground street.

The two prices are worlds apart.

This made Ta Ke slightly doubtful.

Although the magic below, and the magic officially produced by La Mo Er's high tower,

the two have a certain gap.

But the price shouldn't be that huge!

Carrying such doubt, Ta Ke selected the magic he needed and came to the settlement point at the exit.

【Arcane Shot】

【Abyss Bloodthirsty Magic Vine】

【Nightmare Fire Oil Bullet】

【Micro Hurricane Technique】

【Dragon Source Scale Armor Shield】

Ta Ke handed over the small paper notes of the five spells he wanted to purchase.

Soon, the black-robed settlement wizard, with a slightly hoarse and cold voice, said.

"A total of 520 magic gold."

Ta Ke, while pulling out money, asked.

"Is the magic here all this expensive?"

The black-robed wizard glanced at Ta Ke twice before slowly saying: "The spells stored here are all the magic crystal seeds we specially retained during the initial screening."

Whether it's power, sequence activity, or upper limit strength.

They are the top-tier level of the same type of magic you can see on the market.

Those defective and incomplete products are worthless, and have been cheaply disposed of by the people under La Mo Er.

As long as you carefully receive the inheritance of this magic sequence seed once, you won't have such doubts.

What the other party said counts as having cleared many of Ta Ke's mental doubts.

Ecology nurtures transcendent sequence seeds!

Likewise, ecology will also nurture various magic seeds.

Leaving a magic inheritance on a scroll through one's own soul imprint is certainly not bad.

But this relies entirely on human power and will also damage one's own magic traits.

Within transcendent studies, this does not quite conform to the rules and characteristics of a 'sequence'.

But by cultivating magic seeds through a 'transcendent ecology' with vital activity, this is obviously more convenient and more in line with the rules of the transcendent world.

In the ecosystem, witchcraft seeds also have strong and weak.

The cheap goods Taku had previously studied.

And what he now holds is a genuine one-star top-tier witchcraft.

"Thank you for the answer."

After paying, the black-robed wizard patted the monster treasure chest beside him and slipped the paper recording the witchcraft Taku had selected into it.

After the monster treasure chest gurgled and shook for a moment, it opened its mouth and spat.

An iron box fell out.

Even its surface was covered with a lot of slime.

Seeing that Taku's expression seemed somewhat unnatural, the black-robed wizard explained.

"These Gurulum's saliva are natural antitoxin potions."

"Many potions are mixed with similar ingredients."

"That saliva also has the ability to lubricate and soothe, counteracting transcendent properties."

"Otherwise, stacking so many transcendent properties together would make it an unstable huge alchemical bomb."

"Hmm!"

Taku waved his hand, and the shadow tentacles swept the iron box into the shadow behind him, making it disappear.

Afterward, he walked toward the "Transcendent Ability Conversion Pool".

After Taku left.

A short-haired, slender transcendent swordsman dressed in a brownish robe then stepped out from the corner.

Upon seeing the arrival, the black-robed wizard immediately adopted a respectful attitude, bowing and saluting.

"Baron Bolanke."
