Chapter 82 Magical Frequency Cultivation Method

Locke followed Witch Sophia to her magic plant room, because after Witch Sophia taught him the route after becoming a first-class wizard apprentice, he would take the breeding class.

The two walked in a botanical garden as large as a castle.

Only now did Locke realize that this was a medium-sized botanical garden. Because witch Sophia had just been promoted to an official wizard for more than two years, she had not had time to apply for a large botanical garden.

Because the contract with Lilith’s Hut might not be renewed, Witch Sophia had no plans to apply.

Witch Sophia asked Locke, “Locke, have you finished reading the First-Class Wizard Apprentice Manual I taught you three days ago?”

Locke nodded and said, “Yes, teacher, I have read it several times. I have started practicing the methods of hiding and retracting one’s magic pressure and have mastered the tricks.”

This is not difficult in itself, just like a person with arms can learn to hit a ball with a little learning.

Locke retracted the demonic pressure he had emitted, restrained his aura, and no longer radiated demonic pressure outwards.

Witch Sophia nodded slightly. “That’s good. Over the years, you’ve mastered the grafting method and have gained some basic understanding of hybridization and cuttings.”

“These are the three major cultivation methods that all breeder assistants should learn, and they should choose one of them as their primary focus. Some wizard apprentices who remain at the breeder assistant stage for a long time will even refine their practice of the three major cultivation methods, though I don’t think that’s very useful.”

Witch Sophia was undoubtedly once a genius among the apprentices, and her pursuit was how to quickly improve her level.

She absolutely could not do such a thing as staying at the first-class wizard apprentice level for more than ten years just to win more competition championships and to master all three training methods.

Witch Sophia walked through a field of fern blossoms. “So today, I’m going to teach you what you need to know as a breeder. I’m going to teach you the knowledge and skills you need to pass the breeder assessment.”

Locke was startled, he knew it was coming.

Now that he was a first-class wizard apprentice, the synthesis level of the Horadric Cube had been raised to level 7, allowing him to synthesize better synthetic plants.

As long as he could pass the breeder’s certificate, he could openly sell the level 7 synthetic plants as his own works.

Besides, he didn’t have to worry too much about the Blood Curse Court, as they had already sent people to assassinate him.

Moreover, he is now a first-class wizard apprentice. If the other party wants to send someone to assassinate him, they will need to send a first-class wizard apprentice.

But directly sending a first-class wizard apprentice here to assassinate him would be no different from directly engaging in a local wizard war with Lilith’s hut.

Witch Sophia said, “Before that, I want to test you. Which cultivation method is suitable for phoenix tail flowers? Answer within 3 seconds, otherwise it will be considered a weak foundation.”

Locke immediately responded, “Yes, teacher.”

“Fengwei is a medium to high quality magical plant, a magical flower. It is suitable for artificial pollination. We can crossbreed different Fengwei flowers to select Fengwei flowers that have the excellent traits of both parents. We can also pollinate Fengwei flowers with pollen from other flowers to cultivate new varieties.”

“Therefore, hybrid breeding is suitable.”

Witch Sophia changed the question and said, “What method is suitable for cultivating the Whomping Willow? I need to reproduce a large number of high-quality Whomping Willow plants with magical properties, and I don’t want them to change in any way.”

Locke immediately replied, “Then we can use the cutting method. We can cut a branch from the Whomping Willow and let it regenerate into a complete plant.”

The matching spell for the grafting cultivation method is [Secondary Grafting Healing Spell], the matching spell for the cutting cultivation method is [Secondary Rooting Spell], and the matching spell for the hybrid cultivation method is [Secondary Pollination Spell].

Of the three breeding methods, Locke is only very proficient in the secondary grafting healing technique, and he can only barely use the other two.

Because there is not much time to practice.

The hybrid breeding method has a long breeding cycle and many trait variations, which is suitable for breeding on magic flowers.

The cutting cultivation method takes a short time and completely clones the mother plant. It is suitable for cloning the offspring of a certain plant, or cutting off very healthy branches or parts of certain plants for reproduction.

Grafting cultivation is usually used on magic vines and magic trees. The cultivation cycle is medium and the number of trait variations is average. It is a common area of expertise chosen by breeder assistants.

In fact, in addition to these three cultivation methods, there is another cultivation method, which is the selective cultivation method.

The selective breeding method is to simply choose high-quality seeds and cultivate magical plants.

Even a mortal can do this kind of thing, so people usually only talk about the three major breeding methods of breeder assistants, and ignore the selective breeding method.

But Locke believes that choosing the cultivation method still requires a certain level of skill. It does not require a very high level of magic, but it does require rich experience and knowledge.

Witch Sophia was in the flower field. She looked back at Locke and nodded with satisfaction. “You have learned well and have a solid foundation.”

“Locke, I want to tell you now that these three breeding methods are only assistant-level, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.”

“These three breeding methods are far from sufficient for cultivating advanced magical plants. Therefore, breeders need a more powerful breeding method that can be combined with the existing three breeding methods to form a more efficient and advanced breeding method.”

Witch Sophia said, “Thus, breeders left the superficial stage of studying the surface characteristics of magical plants and entered the stage of studying the magical power.”

“The breeders have discovered the magic frequency breeding method.”

Witch Sophia threw a monocle into Locke’s arms. “Put this concentration monocle on your left eye. I’m lending it to you.”

“Then take a close look at this acre of fern flowers.”

Locke immediately placed the monocle in front of his left eye, and suddenly he saw another world.

That is the natural vision of mortals, a vision that cannot be seen.

In the School of Enchantment, under the effect of the concentration technique of the monocle, Locke found that his visual ability was magnified dozens or hundreds of times.

The distance of what he saw did not change, only the details changed.

Locke was originally very sensitive to wood element particles. Under the effect of concentration, he could see the various magical energy particles hidden inside these phoenix flowers, flowing and forming, and those extremely small plant essences with various shapes and colors.

Witch Sophia said, “See? Those complex plant essences determine the characteristics of magical plants.”

“The three assistant-level cultivation methods are merely combinations of these plant essences at a macro level.”

“And the magic power will affect the essence of those plants. This is the magic frequency cultivation method.”

Witch Sophia spread out her right hand, and suddenly her right hand emitted a blazing and shining light, a ball of white light, full of energy, like the sun.

Under the influence of this energy, Locke, who was wearing a monocle of concentration, was surprised to find that Sophia’s magical energy radiation was actually changing the various plant essences of these phoenix flowers and forcing these plant essences to undergo certain changes.

This caused the fern to begin to undergo genetic mutations.

Witch Sophia said seriously, “In the magic field, release specific powerful magical radiation. Use this magical radiation to forcibly interfere with the plant essence within the magical plants, forcing them to mutate. Then, use the three major cultivation methods to carry out targeted cultivation.”

“That’s the breeder’s domain.”

Locke suddenly understood. “Teacher, can I understand that we should first increase the mutation level of the magic plant, and then carry out targeted cultivation?”

Witch Sophia nodded. “Well, very good, you understand it correctly.”

“The magic radiation will resonate with the magic power within the magic plant, conducting energy transmission and strengthening or weakening the plant.”

“So the key is how to choose the frequency of your magical power’s radiation. Otherwise, it could easily kill or even actively degrade your magical plants.”

“Therefore, before the development of the magic resonance breeding method, few breeders realized that this method was actually possible.”

Witch Sophia said, “Furthermore, this is a cultivation method that can only be used by wizards who are at or above the level of a first-class wizard apprentice. This is because only wizards with the magic power of a first-class wizard apprentice or above can more accurately control the so-called frequency.”

“What is the radiation frequency of magic power? Because the magic power of a first-class wizard apprentice will form magic pressure, and the magic pressure will form magic power. Therefore, the magic power will undergo a cycle of magic pressure and magic power during the transmission process, thus forming the basis for controlling the frequency.”

“Different plants naturally resonate with different magical frequencies. Therefore, the secret to mastering this technique lies in exploring which magical frequencies these magical plants are most suitable for resonating with, and how powerful a magical source is required.”

Witch Sophia said, “Most high-level magical plants can resonate with dozens of frequencies. Some can even produce the so-called optimal resonance frequency with more than a dozen magical frequencies. At least, it is still the optimal resonance frequency at present.”

“Breeders discover different optimal resonant frequencies, and then, with a little bit of luck and the four major cultivation methods, they can better target and cultivate powerful magical plants.”

“So, you see the complexity and difficulty lies here.”

“Breeder is the wizard profession that requires the most stability and precision of mana.” Sophia looked at Locke and said, “I gave you priority in this path because I saw that you possessed an unparalleled talent for mana stability.”

“And this talent will be brought into play to its greatest effect when you learn the Magical Frequency Cultivation Method.”

Witch Sophia dispersed the magic ball in her hand, and immediately the storms in the phoenix tail flower fields that were caused by the magic pressure also stopped.

Locke looked thoughtful. “I see…”

He thought: “Then I will need more navy jade and deep blue jade, and it would be best if I could find more synthesis formulas that can improve the stability of mana.”
