#857 - Elemental Water
After a round of auctions that wasn't too intense but had a tight rhythm, Liang Yue, as desired and unsurprisingly, won the ownership of a life-sustaining planet, under the excited and expectant gazes of everyone around.
And also ~ those three life tree saplings, wrapped in a halo of light, giving people a feeling of prosperity ~
Slightly different from what everyone had guessed beforehand, although the saplings of this life tree are considered rare in the entire universe, they are not necessarily that scarce.
Because, as the mother of these saplings, the Ancient Tree of Life itself is a highly productive magical plant. Every ten years, a batch of saplings with an almost fixed quantity will be born.
Then, they are planted by the Elf race in various regions of their own planet, or on various planets in the cosmic starry sky.
Including the saplings at this auction, they were actually sent to the auction by the Elf race themselves.
In addition to wanting to exchange them for a certain amount of inter-universal credit currency, more importantly, they actually want to transport the saplings of the Tree of Life to all parts of the universe through this method.
As a magical plant, the Tree of Life does have its unique features. It is said that the Elf race on its original planet was born under the nurturing of this plant.
But what is more regrettable is that it is not easy to grow from a sapling of the Tree of Life to the complete form of the Ancient Tree of Life.
There is no shortcut to the evolution of this magical plant, and it basically relies purely on the accumulation of a long period of time.
After planting the sapling, in the first hundred years, the sapling of this Tree of Life probably only has the function of purifying the air and fertilizing the soil.
During this stage, the sapling on the ground will hardly grow at all, and will lie dormant there. All the nutrients will be taken away by the underground roots to extend themselves.
About one hundred and fifty years later, the sapling will enter the development stage, and depending on the environment, it will grow into a big tree ranging from ten to dozens of meters. This stage will probably last for nearly three hundred years.
During this period, the Tree of Life will slowly give birth to some magical functions belonging to magical plants.
For example, starting to generate and release elemental power of various elements on a small scale ~
At the same time, its purification function will gradually be strengthened, and the surrounding soil will also be improved into the most fertile soil by a variety of special substances secreted by the roots.
The longer the time, the greater its function and coverage will be.
Then, about a thousand years after the sapling is planted, the Tree of Life will enter the growth period again, and depending on the growth environment, it will grow into a towering tree from hundreds to several hundred meters high.
The Tree of Life at this stage can be regarded as officially entering adolescence…
The formation of elemental power is further accelerated. Under its influence, the entire planet will slowly change towards a magical world.
Then, the growth period of this Tree of Life begins to enter a stage measured in tens of thousands of years ~
During this period, various functions and magical properties will further mature and develop, and slowly but firmly evolve towards the kind of Tree of Life that people understand from certain literary works.
It will not enter maturity until after hundreds of millions of years of rooting and growth, and the main body will grow to nearly ten thousand meters.
At that time, the place where the Tree of Life is rooted will form a small amount of a high-level magical substance called Elemental Water.
Its uses are very wide, including cultivation, meditation, spellcasting, instant recovery of magic power, making super magic scrolls, etc.
It is something that all magical civilizations in the universe dream of.
When the Tree of Life grows to one billion years, this stage of the Tree of Life can be called the Ancient Tree of Life, and it can derive the ability to nurture the Elf race.
At this time, the Ancient Tree of Life will not have much change in size, but the planet it is rooted in will be nourished and fed back by the tree body.
Step by step, regularly, and actively, it attracts some meteorites, asteroids, and other celestial bodies from outside the sky and merges them into the rooted planet, further expanding the volume of the planet…
In general, the Tree of Life is indeed a magical species worth investing in, but because its growth time is too long, ordinary people simply cannot wait to see the day of return.
Even a civilization or a planetary group can hardly bear such a time cost.
In a bizarre place like the Marvel Universe, which is destroyed, destroyed, restarted, and restarted at every turn, it is basically hopeless to cultivate this magical species with a growth span of hundreds of millions of years.
Who knows, one day, while you are eating hot pot and singing, you will be inexplicably and neatly taken away by the entire universe.
Therefore, for auctions like the Tree of Life saplings, unless it is a god-level figure who is interested and plants a few in their own private universe as ornamental plants.
After all, although this thing is also a good natural treasure, it is still far from the level of the World Tree.
Even if it grows to the complete form of the Ancient Tree of Life, in the eyes of some great gods, it is just a relatively special magical plant.
As for its ability to produce Elemental Water and so on ~
Just Liang Yue herself, after advancing to the Void Refinement Stage, can directly draw energy from the void, that is, the level of the quantum realm, to achieve an unlimited firepower supply.
She doesn't care about these things at all.
Therefore, except for those god-level figures, ordinary people basically don't care about its future growth potential.
Occasionally, some wealthy people, or those civilized planets, symbolically buy a few trees, and they are all cultivated as landscape plants for purifying the air environment.
As for the auction of that life-sustaining planet ~
The final result was also somewhat unexpected, because after repeated comparisons and considerations, Liang Yue did not bid for the planet closer to Earth.
Instead, it was the one located on the edge of the main civilization intersection area, the outpost area of the wild and unexplored star field ~
The reason for this is that the undeveloped star field is very rich in resources.
In contrast, although the life-sustaining planet closer to Earth has not been developed much, the green plants, soil, and animals are all pretty good.
But after all, this planet is located on a relatively busy star field route.
Its outer space, those asteroid belts, and the resources on other planets in the galaxy have basically been explored by those passing civilizations.
Except for some of the cheapest iron and copper mines, basically no rare metals of any value have been left behind.
Even the area around the sun in this galaxy has been built into energy supply stations by some forces…
Under the premise that Liang Yue doesn't care about the distance of the route, in terms of development potential, the former is definitely superior.
……
So, who wants to come with me to see that planet?
On the second day after bidding for that planet, after a series of handover procedures and a symbolic metal sovereignty certificate were delivered urgently by the express delivery company.
Liang Yue's heart was also filled with ups and downs, and her emotions surged inexplicably.
After checking the star field map of the intelligent brain Xiao Wu and confirming the spatial coordinates of that planet, she couldn't wait to go and see the situation.
So that he can make some safety arrangements in advance.
