#204 - The origin of the spirit tree

There are only two reasons why the spirit tree is growing so vigorously.

First, the tribesmen have found a way to lift the curse.

As long as the curse is not present, there will not be a big problem with the inheritance of the tribal wizards, and the spirit tree will naturally grow well.

Second, the inheritance of the tribal wizards has been severed, and the tribesmen have perished.

Only in this way can the curse be considered successful, and then the curse energy entangled in the spirit tree will disappear.

Now it seems that the second situation should have occurred to the tribesmen who live in seclusion in Snow Eagle Mountain.

The tribal wizards naturally thought more thoroughly than Mu En; they may have long anticipated that this would happen.

Especially the three elderly Great Wizards, after hearing Mu En's explanation, became somewhat excited.

"Great Wizard, don't worry, hasn't the High Priest already come to Star Island? Even if the spirit tree can't be saved,

the tribe will be fine."

Lu came up again to appease the Spirit Tree Great Wizard.

However, she had only said a few words when Mu En interrupted her.

"No, the spirit tree must be saved."

After learning about the situation of the tribesmen on Star Island, Mu En was very clear.

The spirit tree not only bears the responsibility of selecting talented young wizards, but it is also a symbol of the inheritance of the tribal wizards.

Especially after knowing that his magic wand may have come from the same willow mother tree, Mu En was determined to save the willow tree in front of him.

"High Priest, do you know how to repair the magic array?"

After hearing Mu En's statement, the Starlight Great Wizard asked curiously.

Mu En shook his head.

"I haven't mastered the magic array yet, but I have other methods that I might be able to try."

As Mu En spoke, he took out the sleeping Bump from his pocket.

Yesterday, Bump was also involved in the busy day on Star Island.

Later, when returning to Star Island by boat, this little guy fell asleep in Mu En's pocket.

All the tribal wizards watched his movements after hearing that Mu En had a method.

Mu En woke up Bump, first said two sentences they didn't understand.

Then this cute, black-haired, long-nosed beast took out a brown potion bottle from the pocket in front of its belly.

The potion bottle contained the Growth Potion that Mu En had been treasuring.

In order to reassure the tribal wizards, Mu En took the potion bottle and turned to explain to them.

"This is a magic potion that can help plants grow quickly; each drop contains the energy needed for a magical plant to grow for a year."

"One drop equals one year?"

The tribal wizards were all a little incredulous, and they curiously watched the potion bottle in Mu En's hand.

"That's right. Although there are only three drops inside, it should be able to temporarily alleviate the spirit tree's predicament."

Hearing Mu En say this, the Spirit Tree Great Wizard walked out leaning on his crutches.

"High Priest, we believe in you; please apply the potion."

In fact, from the moment Mu En decided to teach the tribal wizards new magic, the Great Wizards no longer had any doubts about him.

And now, hearing Mu En take the initiative to save the spirit tree, this made the tribal wizards even more approve of Mu En's position as High Priest.

Seeing that none of the surrounding tribal wizards came out to say anything more,

Mu En walked to the root of the willow tree with the potion bottle.

Here, three magic array patterns were tightly connected to the willow tree.

Mu En dripped three drops of potion into the magic array patterns, and then the potion slowly seeped into the body of the willow tree along the patterns.

"There really is a reaction!"

That is, after the three drops of magic potion seeped into the tree trunk, a layer of green energy fluctuations immediately appeared at the connection between the willow tree and the magic array.

It was as if three stones had been thrown onto the calm green lake.

These fluctuations slowly transported the magic potion energy to every part of the willow tree.

Through his monocle, Mu En could see that the black energy entangled in the willow tree was scattered a lot the moment the fluctuations spread out.

Moreover, the willow tree also grew more than a dozen new branches.

However, these buds only grew a dozen centimeters before stopping.

The magic energy that could sustain the growth of ordinary magical plants for a whole year was exhausted by the spirit tree in just a dozen seconds.

The tribal wizards saw this scene and guessed that the potion's effect was likely exhausted.

The excited mood of the crowd gradually became lonely again.

"High Priest, we all know that you have tried your best. If it really doesn't work..."

Lang's words were not finished when Mu En directly raised his hand to stop him.

"Now it seems that the Growth Potion is very effective for the spirit tree's recovery, but the refining of this potion is extremely cumbersome and requires a lot of precious materials."

Mu En had only said this when the Spirit Tree Great Wizard excitedly walked over and grabbed his arm tightly.

"High Priest, we have herbs, we have materials, and even if we don't have them, we can go find them. As long as we can save the spirit tree, you can have whatever you want."

"That's right!"

The Starlight Great Wizard and the Azure Great Wizard said in unison.

Seeing the statements of the three Great Wizards, Mu En was also unpretentious.

He had the ability to ask Professor Snape to refine this Growth Potion, but the amount of potion needed by the spirit tree would inevitably be a lot.

This would require a lot of magic potion materials, and Mu En couldn't come up with so much at once.

But if there was the support of the tribal wizards, it would naturally be different.

"In fact, in order to ensure the inheritance of the tribal wizards, we have also accumulated a lot of materials. Now we can go to the tribal treasury, and you can take whatever you want."

After learning that Mu En could still refine this potion, the Spirit Tree Great Wizard immediately wanted to pull him down the mountain.

However, Mu En still slightly appeased the crowd.

"Don't rush. The time spent refining the potion will inevitably be very long. Before that, we can't let the spirit tree decline."

As Mu En spoke, he once again took out a quill and parchment from Bump's pocket.

After writing out the Flame Snail Fertilizer formula, he directly handed it to the Azure Great Wizard.

"I know that the Azure Tribe should have these things. Make this fertilizer according to the formula on the paper; it can provide the spirit tree with growth energy."

The Azure Great Wizard took the parchment and looked at it, then nodded.

"We do have these materials, but we really didn't know they could be made into fertilizer. I'll have someone prepare it now."

After the Azure Great Wizard finished speaking, he immediately called over a wizard from the Azure Tribe and asked him to find the tribesmen to make fertilizer.

Lang, who was standing aside, heard that saving the spirit tree required the treasury again and that fertilizer needed to be made, and asked somewhat unwillingly.

"High Priest, is it really necessary to waste so much? All living things will be born, age, get sick, and die. With you in the tribe,

I think the spirit tree..."

Lang's words were not finished when the Azure Great Wizard gave his son another beating.

Mu En didn't stop him; he just watched with a smile.

He knew that many young wizards in the tribe might have such thoughts, but Lang was the only one who dared to say it.

"In fact, the spirit tree can not only identify young wizards, but its fallen branches can also be used to make magic wands."

After the beating ended, Mu En took out his own magic wand.

"This is the little wooden stick you used to defeat me. Is it made of spirit tree?"

After hearing Mu En's words, Lang walked forward, covering his bleeding nose, and asked.

"That's right. In addition to making magic wands, it can also make a flying tool."

After deciding to teach the tribal wizards magic, Mu En knew that wand casting was definitely an unavoidable step.

In the early stages, he might be able to buy some magic wands and bring them back, but to find a magic wand that truly suited him,

he still needed to make magic wands and try them out.

It was like letting the young wizards choose like Ollivander, but Mu En didn't have this condition in the early stages.

Fortunately, the tribe now had a spirit tree and the Starlight Great Wizard, who was proficient in making wizarding artifacts, so the wand making should be resolved quickly.

As for magical tools such as flying brooms, they were definitely a powerful weapon in the current world.

The entire tribal wizards only had one flying cloak, and even the very wealthy Bailey family had not seen a flying tool, which meant that there must not be many such magical creations.

If they could equip the tribal wizards with them, it would definitely improve their strength a lot.

Correspondingly, this was also the growth of Mu En's own power.

"Flying tool! Like the flying cloak?"

The young tribal wizards were extremely excited after hearing about the flying tool.

They had long wanted to try the flying cloak in the tribe, but they were all rejected by the three Great Wizards.

"That's right. Moreover, this flying tool is relatively simple to use and can be made for everyone."
