“What happened to you?”

The jujube tree noticed that the girl in front of it had suddenly stopped talking, and something was wrong. Her face was flushed red, and her body was trembling slightly. She could no longer control her body, and the sound of her rapid breathing could be heard.

“Cough, cough.” When Ban Feimeng heard the jujube tree’s voice, she pretended to cough twice. She immediately woke up and regained her composure.

“No-nothing. Take your pick. You can choose whichever magic element that you want. I personally suggest that you choose the life magic element for your special-type element and the wood-type magic element for your five elements. These two elements are compatible with you. It’s just that one is easier, and the other is more difficult.”

After the jujube tree finished listening, it thought for a while and said, “Then I choose life.”

Before Ban Feimeng could ask, the jujube tree explained, “I feel that the jujube produced by the life magic element will be more delicious. The owner will like it.”

Its growth period was long enough. It was time to bear fruit.

Ban Feimeng smiled and said, “That’s not bad. Speaking of which, you don’t have a name yet. What should I call you?”

The jujube tree shook its branch slightly and replied in a daze, “The owner often waters me with ink. Why don’t I call myself Ink?”

“Okay.” Ban Feimeng nodded and agreed. “Ink, since you have decided to choose the life magic element, you can directly come into contact with the aura of the life magic elements now. It will automatically come into contact with you and increase your ability.”

Ink, who had just received the name, shook the branch. A branch bent and came into contact with the life magic element.

The moment the two came into contact, the aura in the air became much lighter. A few small blades of grass instantly grew on the ground. The jujube tree’s branches and leaves were also more beautiful, rising from a height of three meters to fifteen meters, the tree trunk had also become two times thicker. The sharp and slender wooden thorns on the branches gave off a faint green light.

Even Ban Feimeng, who was standing in front of the tree, felt warm and comfortable all over.

A large number of green life magic elements appeared out of thin air and surged into the jujube tree’s body, constantly strengthening its bark and body.

Ban Feimeng watched this scene silently from the side.

She knew that at this moment, another top-notch mage had appeared in this world, even though it was a magic plant.

The entire process did not last long, but it brought about a great change.

Ban Feimeng waited for the transformation to end, then she put away the magic array materials one by one and looked at the current appearance of the jujube tree.

“You’ve grown bigger. How does it feel?”

A piece of bark on Ink’s main trunk slowly changed. The rough and hard bark gradually distorted, forming a face.

It was different from before. The facial features on the face were clear and three-dimensional, but the color did not change. It looked like a relief sculpture carved on the bark.

It was a little girl’s face. Her facial features were exquisite, and there was no expression on her face. She looked a little dazed.

“It feels good. The range of coverage is much larger,” Ink said slowly.

Its voice was not like before. Instead, it was a tender and childish voice. Anyone who heard it would know that it was a little girl.

“Wow, how did your voice become like this? You sound like a child.” Ban Feimeng’s eyes lit up and said with a smile.

Ink thought for a moment and replied seriously, “According to my age, I am originally a child.”

The method of calculating the age of trees was different from other creatures.

Ban Feimeng came to a realization and nodded. “Indeed, it was my oversight. I thought that you were older than me.”

“Moreover, the owner also likes children.”

“Huh?” Ban Feimeng frowned slightly and said, “That can’t be right. Although Senior Ye has an amiable attitude towards us mages, he keeps a distance from us. Why do you think that he likes children?”

“There was a child who came to the shop before. The owner’s attitude was very good, and he even hugged her.” Ink recalled and said, “But when that child came for the second time, she turned into a woman in her twenties. The owner’s attitude was more indifferent.”

Ban Feimeng was baffled and asked tentatively, “You mean that the child and the woman are the same people?”

“Yes.”

“To be able to change between a child and an adult, could it be the result from dabbling in the law of time and didn’t control it well?”

Ban Feimeng guessed in her heart, but then she shook her head and didn’t think any further. In any case, it was Senior Ye’s guest, so Senior Ye should have known the reason long ago, so there was no need for her to worry about it.

“Right.” Ban Feimeng asked, “Can you summon an incarnation now and walk freely?”

Ink thought for a moment and shook its head. “No, I feel that my strength isn’t enough. I need to combine the wood-type magic element and life magic element to summon an incarnation. Moreover, there seems to be something restricting me.”

“Restricting?” Ban Feimeng scratched her head in puzzlement, she said, “Then you can slowly cultivate. In the future, if there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask me. If you feel that there is a restriction, I’ll go back and ask Senior Ye. To him, this should be a small matter, even though I don’t understand.”

“I don’t really understand it right now,” Ink immediately said.

“What do you not understand?” Ban Feimeng stopped and turned around to ask.

“I don’t really understand anything about cultivation,” Ink replied honestly.

Ban Feimeng thought for a moment, she smiled and said, “Actually, the way mages cultivate is very simple. You are a magic plant, but the theory can be applied. In the early stages of a mage’s cultivation, they need to comprehend the affinity of the magic elements in their own body, allowing the magic elements to transform our bodies and store more magic power. It’s just like charging. This stage is just accumulation, it’s very simple.”

“After becoming a beginner mage, you can start to practice magic. Although magic is cultivated by you, you can’t borrow the magic power of the world in the early stage. You need to use your own magic power to drive it. It’s very important to be familiar with how to use magic.”

“Because in the later stage, we need to use our own magic power to move the magic power of the world. If we don’t master it well enough, we will crush ourselves to death.”

“There are two ways to increase proficiency.”

“The first way is to rely on improving one’s affinity with magic elements to make it easier to master magic, or to modify one’s body to achieve the goal of improving one’s affinity with magic. However, modification is very dangerous, and very few people will do it.”

“The second way is the most common way. Practice, practice every day in a boring way. After the magic power in the body is exhausted, we will recover and continue to practice. In this way, we can also increase proficiency.”

After Ban Feimeng finished speaking, she continued, “But you are familiar with all the magic elements. Perhaps you will pass this stage very quickly.”

“Moreover, you are a magic plant. It cannot be viewed from the perspective of a human mage. For example, before you became a magic plant, you were already very powerful.”

Ink was stunned for a moment and asked, “How do I practice?”

Ban Feimeng patted the main trunk of the jujube tree and said, “You will start with storing magic power in your body. After you store enough, you can start practicing. I will teach you later.”

Ink hesitated for a moment and said, “But, my magic power has been fully accumulated, and my body has also been modified.”

“Huh?” Ban Feimeng was stunned for a moment and subconsciously retorted, “How is that possible? Didn’t you just obtain magic element affinity? How could you have finished accumulating magic power?”

Ink thought for a moment, it said, “Every time the owner washed the brush, the ink would be poured on me. After such a long time, my body has long been transformed by magic power, and my body is also filled with magic power. Now, with every bit of magic power that I consume, I will automatically draw a bit from the world.”

Ban Feimeng was stunned, and the corner of her mouth twitched. She could not describe what she felt in her heart.

Back then, in order to increase her magic element affinity, she had to suffer a lot. She had to cultivate bitterly for two years before her body was filled with magic power.

And Ink was filled on the spot?

She sighed helplessly, and said enviously, “After all, it’s Senior Ye who can influence the entire world. When he was painting, as long as he injected a little magic essence into the ink, he would be able to neutralize the extremely high concentration of magic power. With this irrigation, he could forcefully skip all the steps and pull you up.”

“Then what do I do now?” Ink asked.

Ban Feimeng said fiercely, “I’ll teach you a probing spell. You can cast it towards the sky and start practicing.. I want to see how fast your proficiency can increase!”
