Chapter 272: Task Progress
The moonlight was like water, and the night was deep.
Looking at the time displayed on the pocket watch, eleven o'clock at night, Jia Na, who had been controlling the magic threads to purify the trees for several hours, couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Finally, the Purification is complete."
Humming green light emerged, full of vitality.
This time, Jia Na no longer restrained the power of the Growth Law Fragment. The rich vitality, like flowing clear green water, poured into the broken tree roots without reservation, completing the final baptism.
Bang—The vines tied to the trees were gradually retracted by Jia Na. With a loud bang, the tree trunk, which should have broken, still did not escape the fate of falling.
However, this time, the main trunk and root part of the tree were preserved intact and gradually healed under the power of the Law, constantly radiating new vitality. "This should be enough."
After a long period of Law healing, finally, the dying little tree was successfully saved by Jia Na.
Unlike the lifelessness of the surrounding trees, this slender little tree that had been saved by Jia Na was full of vitality.
Not only were its branches and leaves green, but it was also a bit thicker than before.
"Although it's a bit strange, it doesn't matter."
In the dead of winter, among a group of bare, sickly trees, it was indeed a bit strange to have such a lush tree standing there.
However, the situation of this tree is special. Although it has been saved by Jia Na, the inner foundation is still a bit weak.
At least it needs to be watched over for a while longer, and then Jia Na needs to continuously consolidate it several times with the power of the Growth Law Fragment to ensure that it is completely healed.
But today, this tree is clearly unable to bear the irrigation of the Law's power, and even the leaf parts can no longer withstand even a little bit of power.
"The task progress has finally gone up."
Summoning the task panel again, Jia Na looked at the progress display (1/500) on the task panel, and Jia Na couldn't help but show a solemn expression of heavy responsibility.
It was only the first day, and Jia Na had barely saved one tree after exhausting all her efforts.
If she continues at this rate, it might even be next year before the task is completed.
"I must find a way to improve the efficiency of treatment and strive to complete this task completely within half a year—"
After all, according to Jia Na's plan, she will try to break through to Three-level Wizard Apprentice before the end of this year.
Then, at the beginning of next year, she will participate in the White Tower Trial in Dordogne with other Three-level Wizard Apprentice.
Therefore, Jia Na's "main task" must not be delayed—
"It's time to go back."
Although exerting the power of the Law does not consume magic power, maintaining a high degree of concentration for a long time and constantly converting Purification Light into magic threads to remove pollution is also a difficult and very mentally exhausting task.
"Ever-changing."
As the spell was chanted, her figure shrank.
As a yellowish-brown light flashed, Jia Na, who had transformed into a small emerald green snake, once again entered the hole of the vortex well, and climbed along the narrow vortex passage to the eighth coordinate gate.
Then, Jia Na immediately carried out a second teleportation and arrived at the positioning coordinate of White Coral Academy.
"Is the location of coordinate number three the entrance to the tree path?"
After putting away the vortex well wizard tool, Jia Na took out the mist branch from her wizard robe, accompanied by the rustling sound of vines, and quickly entered the tree path, then returned to the dormitory building.
"Miss Jia Na, you're finally back!"
Looking at Jia Na's tired face, the Door Spirit immediately greeted her with concern from the door frame.
"This is a letter sent by Miss Vivian's messenger."
Without waiting for Jia Na to ask, the Door Spirit directly handed a white envelope into Jia Na's hand.
"Okay."
Upon seeing that the sender on the envelope was indeed Vivian, Jia Na's originally tired face also gained a bit of spirit.
"After such a long time, Vivian finally sent a message."
After entering the dormitory, Jia Na didn't even have time to take off her wizard robe before opening the envelope and looking at the content of the letter.
The content of this letter was very simple. Besides a kind greeting to Jia Na, it was an invitation to participate in a small family banquet hosted by Vivian's family.
However, the letter did not specify the exact time of the gathering, only that Vivian would personally invite Jia Na after she came out of seclusion.
"After talking for so long, she didn't even give a specific time."
The last time Jia Na saw Vivian was during the Black Magic Defense Class.
That time, because the two of them fought and Vivian was exhausted, Jia Na had to temporarily keep Vivian in her dormitory.
On that day, because Jia Na had to go to the Nightingale Opera Troupe to negotiate the final contract, she didn't see the awakened Vivian until she returned to the dormitory at night.
Only a lonely sandwich was placed on the table."
After putting the envelope into the thorn bracelet, Jia Na, who had taken off her wizard robe, simply took a shower with the shower head, then changed into her pajamas, and took out a bottle of milk from the refrigerator.
"Drinking a glass of iced milk after a shower is indeed very comfortable."
Casually throwing the empty milk bottle into the trash can, Jia Na walked to the huge pink flower bud by the windowsill and carefully observed the Thorn Flower Fairy for a while.
Seeing that the flower bud had not changed since she left, Jia Na turned around and walked to the bed, sitting back on the bed with her legs crossed.
"Observe for a few more days. If the flower bud still doesn't have significant changes, it's better to send Lola back to the Thorn Plane—"
Although Jia Na really wanted to continue observing the entire evolutionary process of the Thorn Flower Fairy, for safety reasons, she still planned to send the Thorn Flower Fairy back to the Thorn Plane.
After all, the Plant-based magic power there must be more abundant than in the dormitory, and it is more suitable for the evolution of the Thorn Flower Fairy.
"Alas—"
Turning off the bedside lamp and looking at the quiet night outside the window, Jia Na couldn't help but sigh again.
Jia Na had lost count of how many times she had sighed today.
However, as soon as she recalled the entire process of treating the trees in the Mist Forest today, a sense of sadness, like that of a rabbit dying and a fox grieving, couldn't help but well up in Jia Na's heart.
"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore—instead of being sentimental here, it's better to improve my strength as soon as possible."
Although the task progress today only advanced by one five-hundredth, Jia Na's mastery of the Nature Affinity talent and the Growth Law has greatly improved.
"It's a pity that after all this trouble tonight, besides 'Nature Communication', I still have no clue about the other 'The Inheritance of Nature' insight."
Another important ability of the Nature Affinity talent is the acquisition of "The Inheritance of Nature".
However, up to now, no matter how Jia Na tried, she could not comprehend that inheritance from nature.
