Chapter 482 Growth Origin
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
Just like the Earth Origin, the moment the Growth Origin touched the ground, it burrowed into the earth like a nimble loach, disappearing in an instant.
“Crack—crack—”
As the Growth Origin merged into the earth, the previously dormant tree seeds began to take root and sprout. In a short while, young saplings about half a meter tall grew on the dark brown soil.
“Finally, things are looking up.”
Looking at the vibrant green sprouts in the pure land, Jia Na’s previously tense expression finally relaxed.
For the past two months, besides her studies and meditation, Jia Na had been focused on condensing Growth Origin.
Thus, as of now, Jia Na had successfully condensed ten Growth Origins, which is one percent of the volume of Earth Origin normally exchanged at the White Tower’s resource exchange.
Although the Source Power contained within these ten Growth Origins was far less than that of the Earth Origin, it was enough to make several thousand tree seeds break through the soil and grow into saplings.
As for how to make these saplings truly grow into large trees, Jia Na would need to continue applying Law Power for Birth and also require more Growth Origin.
The Growth of trees not only requires suitable soil and nutrients but also ample water and warm sunlight.
However, apart from the first condition, the soil born from the Earth Origin, the latter two—water and sunlight—could not be produced due to the depletion of Source Power and the absence of Law within the Fallen Star.
Therefore, to solve this problem, until Jia Na obtained Water Origin and Sun Origin, she could only rely on her self-produced Growth Origin to forcibly promote tree Growth.
While this method might be effective in the short term, if prolonged, without a normal ecological system to create a good Growth environment, even with the assistance of Growth Origin, those trees would not live long.
“If I could obtain Source Power related to the sky domain, coupled with the seawater already present on Zoey Star, I could barely form a water cycle, but—”
Looking at the gray sky of Zoey Star, Jia Na shook her head with a hint of helplessness.
“Compared to the Earth Origin, Source Power involving the sky's authority, although its exchange points aren't as high, is still beyond my current financial capabilities.”
The Source Power related to the sky's authority that Jia Na mentioned actually referred to some Source Power related to meteorology, such as Rain Origin, Cloud Origin, Wind Origin, etc.
These Source Powers were not as rare as the Earth Origin, so their exchange points were not particularly high.
However, Jia Na had spent most of her current funds on purchasing Earth Origin, leaving no extra money to exchange for other Source Power.
“If it really doesn’t work, I could try selling Growth Origin, but at my current speed of condensing Growth Origin, it might take a long time to meet the White Tower’s resource exchange recycling standards.”
As an officially designated Source Power trading platform, the White Tower’s resource exchange had strict requirements for the energy content specifications of Source Power, whether for exchange or sale.
For example, the rice-grain-sized Growth Origin that Jia Na condensed privately simply did not meet the platform’s recycling standards.
Unless Jia Na could condense another thousand Growth Origins of the current specification, the resource exchange would not recycle them.
Of course, besides entrusting the resource exchange for transactions, Jia Na could also find others to trade with on her own.
However, for extremely rare Source Power like Growth Origin, most demanders are concentrated in the Leaping Zone, and Wizard Apprentices in the Crawling Zone, who cannot even control a Fallen Star, rarely need such resources.
The Leaping Zone, as a Star Territory Belt composed of Formal Wizards from various Wizard Gathering Places, contains not only relatively orderly White Wizards but also many chaotic and evil Black Wizards.
Without an introduction from an acquaintance or endorsement from a powerful person, given Jia Na’s current strength as a Wizard Apprentice, openly selling such precious resources in the Star Territory Belt would greatly increase the probability of being targeted by malicious individuals.
While her White Tower identity could protect Jia Na’s Life, it could not protect her property.
Especially in the Star Territory Belt, it is quite normal for unfamiliar Wizards to suddenly strike and plunder the resources of “newcomers.”
As long as it’s not too excessive, most second-tier Wizard Gathering Places would turn a blind eye.
According to Hefais-Chixing, this “Law of the jungle” survival mode in the Star Territory Belt is also meant to help “newcomers” better adapt to the star field environment.
At the same time, it can better hone “newcomers’” ability to use the power of Law to counterattack, not only enhancing their vigilance but also improving their control over the Law Domain—it’s simply a “multi-beneficial” good method—
Rubbing her temples, the mentally exhausted Jia Na had no time to ponder these matters further.
What she could do now was to quickly plant a thousand trees and successfully complete her Main Quest.
As for the survival rate of the trees after completing the quest, that was not something she should worry about now.
Thinking of this, Jia Na’s spiritual perspective involuntarily looked towards the cultivation area in the very center of the pure land, specifically reserved for the Oak Giant Rosen’s oak seed.
As expected, even with the dual nourishment of Earth Origin and Growth Origin, this gray oak seed still did not regain its vitality.
It was as if this oak seed had truly “died” completely, with no possibility of further Growth.
“It seems that the method of forcibly promoting Growth with Growth Origin is also not applicable. I’ll have to try another method.”
The reason Jia Na cared so much about this side quest, besides wanting to get the quest reward as soon as possible, was actually more about the Oak Giant itself.
According to the Human-faced Willow, who had previously given Jia Na this oak seed, Oak Giant Rosen was one of the followers of Evefresia, who was once known as the “Lord of Nature and Life.”
This meant that if Jia Na could successfully revive Oak Giant Rosen, she would have a powerful enforcer whose strength had at least reached the level of a Formal Wizard.
This alone was enough to make Jia Na’s heart pound—
