Upon returning to his office, Kayson first went back to the area where he used to plant, found the saplings he had planted in the soil beforehand, and directly accelerated their growth with magic.
Almost instantly, the saplings, not much bigger than willow branches, matured, though they remained blocky.
After transplanting this tree many times to turn it into a small grove, Kayson no longer bothered with the trees.
Anyway, his Newborn Magic Art didn't require other materials yet.
As for ordinary materials that weren't so sinister, he could replicate them using the Mystic Era's infusion altar.
Now, his Newborn Magic Art was on the right track; the only problem was that if his spellbook was to be upgraded to the highest level, it still needed one more synthesis.The emerald, ender pearl, and Nether Star were all readily available to him.
It was the Totem of Undying and something called Wild Offering that stumped him.
He currently had one of the former; the civil servant Kayson had given him one when he was in Heaven.However, the Totem of Undying was for saving lives, whether his own or others', which was much more practical than making a spellbook.
The other, Wild Offering, was a boss drop, similar to how the Wither dropped the Nether Star.
That boss was called the Wild Chimera.
He just needed to find a place to farm the Wild Chimera, and that would be that.
But when he truly opened the instructions to see how to summon this Wild Chimera, he instantly stopped smiling.
"What do you mean by...annoying supreme wood?" Kayson looked at the essential material for summoning the Wild Chimera, the Wild Summoning Slab.One of the summoning materials was this so-called annoying supreme wood.
Of course, that wasn't all; other things were also needed, such as Wild Horn, Wild Membrane Wing, and Wild Spike.These were even more abstract than the annoying supreme wood; at least the Supreme Wood could be found in nature.
These three things were purely drops.
The only good news now was that making the Summoning Slab only required any one of these three, not all of them.This was the only good news at the moment.
"This really is giving me a challenge." Kayson casually summoned a blackboard from the corner, took out chalk, and began writing on it.
[annoying supreme wood] [Wild Trio] [Totem of Undying]
However, he quickly erased the Totem of Undying because he had already thought of a way to make a Totem of Undying.
Just like the anti-Dark Arts teleportation glasses he made for the Little Wizards last semester, the glasses needed to be duplicated into a main body and a copy.
Of course, at that time, he had asked a Professor to help cast the duplication magic, but this time he probably couldn't use that magic, after all, synthesis required absolute authenticity, and those fake items copied by magic should be useless.
Moreover, the original MC didn't have this magic, but it was still possible to duplicate items using various properties.
The difference, however, was that items copied by magic were just empty shells, completely useless, and could not be used for synthesis, only as consumables.
However, although items spawned by properties still couldn't be used, strictly speaking, the spawned items were identical to their original bodies, except that they couldn't be used for other purposes, like synthesis.
"I'm a genius!" Kayson quickly pulled out a complete set of blocks and swiftly made an update suppressor, then created a shadow item duplication device within the suppressor's range.
As expected, after placing the Totem of Undying inside, it was successfully duplicated into two.
One was in his hand, and the other was in the chest.
However, there was another problem at this point: these shadow copies could not be touched by hand.
"....Eh!" Just as Kayson was deep in thought, a light bulb once again appeared above his head.
"I never thought that the 'pulling down pants to fart' talisman could also be useful." Kayson recalled the Level 1 talismans he had previously dissed, saying they were all 'pulling down pants to fart' talismans.
As it turned out, they actually had a use today.
For example, one called the Pickup Talisman: if the copied shadow item couldn't be touched by hand, then it would be perfectly fine for him to take it out with magic!
No sooner said than done, he quickly ran to the talisman press, used magic clay and a funnel to press a Pickup Talisman, and then used the magic power of the Pickup Talisman to retrieve the duplicated Totem of Undying from the chest.
"I'm such a fucking genius!" Kayson praised himself sincerely once again, then put the duplicated Totem of Undying back into the chest.
He just needed to confirm that the Totem of Undying could be retrieved through the Pickup Talisman; it wasn't necessary to carry it around like 'pulling down pants to fart'.
On the contrary, keeping it in the chest was the safest option.
Now, one-third of the plan to upgrade the spellbook has been initially completed.Next, he only needs to find the annoying supreme wood and those wild monsters, summon the Wild Chimera, and kill it.Then he will successfully upgrade the spellbook to the highest level.
After finishing his beautiful dream in his mind, Kayson happily left his office and walked towards the Headmaster's office.He planned to ask Dumbledore where Grindelwald was.
For something as abstract as searching for a plant on a planetary scale, it was better to find a true divination master.
He found Grindelwald looking so fresh and lively in Dumbledore's office.
".....?"
"Uh, I want you to help me divine a type of tree." Kayson pulled Grindelwald out under Dumbledore's strange gaze.
Grindelwald, on the other hand, sighed helplessly.
"I am a diviner, some also call me a prophet, but I am not a god; I cannot see a future in which I have not participated."
"Kayson...you might have some misunderstanding about divination.Divination means I can see my future.The reason I accurately predicted that you could find those two plants last time was because I went with you, and we were lucky enough to find them both successfully, so I saw the prophecy of us finding the correct plants in those two places."
"Then you come with me this time." Kayson thus abandoned poor Lupin and instead found a functional adventure partner, Grindelwald.
"...You still don't understand what I'm saying.I am a prophet, not a god who controls time and space.I can only see what has already happened.So, unless you are determined that you and I will travel every inch of this planet, only then might I be able to give you an accurate prophecy."
