Chapter 10: Fragrant Breeze Arborist
Even with her eyes closed, Lolan Hill could clearly perceive Mana, the natural magic, permeating through this forest. And the source of this Mana was precisely from the towering tree before her. The extraordinary power flowing within was almost tangible.
Even in the Second Era, such extraordinary giant trees were rare in the world. According to Cui Nasha’s records, this grade of extraordinary giant tree was powerful enough to permanently alter a region’s environment, second only to the World Tree.
But in fact, during the nearly thousand-year tug-of-war of the Second Era, the World Tree had long been destroyed. The new World Tree cultivated by the Elves later was merely named as such; it was no longer what it once was.
If the Elves knew about this tree before them, they would probably regard it as a sacred tree. It had the potential to become the next World Tree.
【Red Maple Tree】
Species: Red-leaf Feather Maple (Special advanced variant)
Status: On the brink of death
Sequence: Natural Sequence 7 · Amber Red Maple (Rating: Legendary Coral Level)
Talent:
【Deep Crimson Reflection】(Legendary): Under the influence of this tree, the surrounding environment is purified, and Mana continuously condenses, greatly increasing the probability of various extraordinary phenomena occurring.
Ability: 【Maple Leaf Illusion】(Perfect): Even though this red maple forest is vast, other creatures still naturally ignore its existence. Those who approach will be misled by illusions and avoid this area. This is the maple forest’s self-defense mechanism.
【Red Leaf Red Flame】(Perfect): When leaves imbued with natural magic burn, they produce flames that scorch space and distort light. Absolutely do not touch these extraordinary flames.
It looks so beautiful, yet it’s already on the brink of death?
Lolan Hill was somewhat surprised but didn’t know exactly what problem this tree was facing, after all, she wasn’t an expert in this field.
She could only wait until she advanced to Natural Sequence 2 · Arborist and then attempt a diagnosis.
She jumped down from the tree, preparing to leave, planning to return in a few days.
Just as she was about to leave, a faint ripple and message came from the tree. If not for her terrifying ability to 【Listen to Nature】, she wouldn’t have felt this faint information at all.
It seemed to be pleading for her to stay?
The young lady was somewhat uncertain, after all, it was too weak, and she couldn’t discern it clearly.
She turned around, looking at this deep red extraordinary ancient tree, receiving another wave of pleading messages.
“Alright, alright, now I’ll try advancing to give you a diagnosis,” the young lady replied helplessly.
At this moment, a joyful emotion came from the tree.
It seemed this tree truly had consciousness, although very weak, it was indeed ‘alive,’ and feared death.
The young lady sat by the roots of the large tree, preparing to advance when a system prompt appeared.
【Current environmental energy is sufficient. Do you wish to use Extraordinary Sequence Simulation? Yes/No】
Sigh, there’s even this function? Why wasn’t it mentioned earlier? Perhaps it’s because the Mana and magic here are especially dense?
She clicked yes.
[Please select the primary development direction for this sequence?]
Let’s choose cultivation, production, perception, healing, etc.
[System confirmation, automatic understanding and optimization in progress.]
[Optimization results as follows.]
Sequence 1 Primary Direction: Natural Perception (avoid danger, obtain intelligence)
Sequence 2 Primary Direction: Plant Diagnosis and Treatment (increase productivity)
Sequence 3 Primary Direction: Cultivation and Improvement (fundamentally increase productivity)
Sequence 4 Primary Direction: Adding combat capabilities (any profession needs some combat capability for self-preservation)
Sequence 5 Primary Direction: Expanding the range of all abilities (for facing large-scale enemies and large-scale buffs)
Sequence 6 Primary Direction: Increasing new combat capabilities (adding multiple combat capabilities to prevent being countered)
Sequence 7 Primary Direction: Comprehensive enhancement of all abilities (eliminating weaknesses and shortcomings)
Sequences 8 and beyond cannot be simulated at present. Please advance to Sequence 7 before considering whether to simulate according to the current settings. [Yes/No]
This system is really thoughtful, considering everything comprehensively. Although she currently only temporarily chose the Natural Sequence, and may not necessarily continue down this path, such optimization looks very impressive.
Lolan Hill clicked yes, and the system began to fully activate the simulation function.
Then, a deep red wind began to circle in the maple forest. The Mana in the air seemed like a faint red light band passing through branches and between trees, constantly gathering on the young lady.
Simulation Progress: 1% 7% 16%. As the system’s progress wheel rotated, orange-red light gradually lit up from the outer ring to the inner ring. Finally, the central red circle was illuminated.
[Simulation Progress 100%, simulation based on Natural Sequence 1 · Verdant Gardener complete. Results as follows.]
Natural Sequence 1 · Verdant Gardener
Natural Sequence 2 · Fragrant Breeze Arborist
Natural Sequence 3 · Spring Bud Cultivation
Natural Sequence 4 · Summer Flame Blossom
Natural Sequence 5 · Autumn Harvest Bounty
Natural Sequence 6 · Winter Wind Slaughter
Natural Sequence 7 · Dominance of the Four Seasons
Hmm, good. This made Lolan Hill’s slight OCD flare up again. Why does Sequence 1 only have four characters!
So she manually modified it.
Natural Sequence 1 · Verdant Gardener
Natural Sequence 2 · Fragrant Breeze Arborist
Natural Sequence 3 · Spring Bud Cultivation
Natural Sequence 4 · Summer Flame Blossom
Natural Sequence 5 · Autumn Harvest Bounty
Natural Sequence 6 · Winter Wind Slaughter
Natural Sequence 7 · Dominance of the Four Seasons
That’s better. Then she began to advance to Natural Sequence 2 · Fragrant Breeze Arborist.
Fragrant Breeze, derived from the Three Kingdoms period, Wei Dynasty, Wang Shu’s “Confucius Family Records: Discourse on Music”: “In ancient times, Shun played the five-stringed zither and composed the poem ‘Southern Breeze,’ which goes: ‘The southern breeze is fragrant, it can dispel the anger of my people.'”
Its meaning is that a gentle breeze can eliminate the troubles in one’s heart, making one feel at ease.
