Chapter 408 Dream Essence
Jiang Shuzhou didn't miss any opportunity to make the old man explode with gold coins.
He wasn't afraid of Roland making him pave the way, since that was what he was going to do anyway. Besides, if he succeeded, Jiang Shuzhou would be the senior figure, and Roland would have to rely on Jiang Shuzhou to survive.
However, as a pioneer, Jiang Shuzhou being penniless seemed to be in a bad situation, so without a doubt, Jiang Shuzhou planned to ask Roland to give him some gold coins.
"..."
Jiang Shuzhou's words silenced Roland.
After things got so heavy before, your words have left him speechless.
What kind of sponsorship do you want?
"I'm not greedy, I just want a little bit, such as all the materials for the floating city, and all the law-based equipment except for weapons. Of course, it would be even better if there were some divine sparks or the like."
You call this a little bit?
Roland couldn't hold back for a moment.
You're really going all out to take advantage of me!
"No!"
Roland refused.
"However, these things are not impossible to obtain."
Then, taking a sudden turn, Roland continued speaking.
"Alright, I see you're quite the dreamer, so I'll give you this dream essence, along with the secret technique I've rebuilt. This technique can further enhance your aptitude, and theoretically, it can even preserve some vague memories. It's quite a good thing."
Immediately afterwards, Roland took out a gem with a psychedelic color and placed it in a transparent box. Inside the box, Jiang Shuzhou could feel the power of dreams.
At the same time, there was another book whose contents could be read directly; it was the secret method Roland had prepared for his reconstruction.
Finally, we managed to get the gold coins from that old thing.
Although there aren't many gold coins, it's better to have some than none.
"If you want something, just go to your dreams and get it for free. You can harness the power of the dream world."
Jiang Shuzhou had just received these things when he heard Roland's words.
Dream Essence, a legendary material, is obtained by venturing into the deeper layers of dreams.
Using Dream Essence allows users to retrieve items from their dreams, making it incredibly useful. You can practically dream of anything you want and retrieve whatever you dream of. Of course, you can forget about anything too outrageous, such as becoming a god with a single potion—you simply can't retrieve it.
All I can say is that Roland understands Jiang Shuzhou.
"Um, nothing else?"
Jiang Shuzhou decided to make one last attempt to see if he could generate more gold coins.
"Once you break through the limitations, I will give you all my wealth. As for now, just take it one step at a time and proceed slowly."
Roland was also making empty promises to Jiang Shuzhou.
Jiang Shuzhou wasn't surprised by this; it was good enough to have gained something.
"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
"May I ask, did you eventually find your hometown?"
After hearing this, Roland smiled with relief.
"I found it, but everything had changed. The warmth of the past was gone, and I didn't stay long."
That's a pretty realistic answer, even a bit too realistic. But thinking about it, it makes sense. So many years have passed. If you're lucky, you might encounter a world where time flows slowly and there might still be hope. But if time flows normally or fast, then there's no way you can go home.
Silence followed; neither Jiang Shuzhou nor Luo Lan knew what to do.
"You now know the whole truth; it's time to move on."
Roland said.
"You should go now."
Jiang Shuzhou nodded to Roland.
"I will pave the way forward."
Jiang Shuzhou promised.
"I'm waiting for that moment to come."
Immediately afterwards, the space began to fluctuate violently, and Jiang Shuzhou was teleported back.
"professor?"
Denoz arrived immediately.
"Are you alright?"
Jiang Shuzhou's expression was serious, lacking his usual lightheartedness.
This made Denozzi realize that something was wrong.
"It's nothing, I just found out about something."
Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand.
"My lord."
Chahara didn't continue speaking, but silently disappeared into Jiang Shuzhou's shadow.
She felt a little panicked because she wasn't taken along when she was teleported.
Jiang Shuzhou shook his head, preparing to do some experiments to ease his mood.
The first thing to be affected is that portal.
This thing has been causing pollution, but Jiang Shuzhou's mage tower has strong pollution prevention capabilities, so it hasn't caused any impact.
"Denozhi, come and assist me."
Jiang Shuzhou gave the instructions.
Denoz had no objection to this.
Then the tense and exciting dissection experiment began.
The sharp blade sliced through the slender body of the abyss portal. This creature, truly a double-door type, had no blood; its body contained a ceaseless flow of abyssal energy.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shuzhou began searching for the ability-receiving organ within the body, and soon he found it.
It was a dark gray stone, seemingly ordinary, but Jiang Shuzhou could sense the power contained within it.
Setting that aside, Jiang Shuzhou continued.
Jiang Shuzhou quickly figured out the specific principles.
By binding and guiding, it is possible to induce the Abyss Portal to change its strategy from directly sending out demons to slowly corrupting them. This is not difficult, and Jiang Shuzhou will be able to replicate it soon.
And so, three months passed.
An independent space within Jiang Shuzhou's demiplane.
This is the location of the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood. As Jiang Shuzhou's place of refuge and even his hope for resurrection, he placed the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood in the safest place, without exception.
If you look closely, you can see that the flesh and blood mother tree is even connected to a newly formed magic web.
This was created by Jiang Shuzhou using the divine power of the Goddess of the Magic Network. It was used to store some low-level mages and also to sort out the raging elements in the demiplane.
This is the center of the entire demiplane, and Jiang Shuzhou can monitor the entire demiplane from here.
The enormous flesh and blood mother tree is covered with countless branches. Now, Jiang Shuzhou doesn't even need to bear fruit; with just a wave of a branch, a life is born.
The same applies to the modified Abyss Portal.
However, for safety reasons, Jiang Shuzhou still took some precautions to prevent any problems from occurring.
Soon, an abyssal portal was created within the defensive array, and then a large amount of abyssal energy was quickly released.
At this moment, Jiang Shuzhou felt as if his whole body was enveloped in water, which was very comfortable.
Then, the flesh and blood mother tree began to form a cocoon and evolve once again.
Jiang Shuzhou's perspective also changed from two to one, and he could no longer sense anything from the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood.
Jiang Shuzhou didn't pay much attention to the clones of the flesh and blood mother tree, since he didn't feel anything about them, neither pain nor touch.
This was one of the few times he paid attention to it for a while, but he stopped paying attention afterward, as he needed to focus his main energy on his research.
With the essence of dreams in hand, Jiang Shuzhou had already decided that his next research would focus on dreams.
Coincidentally, there is a legend in the league who has written quite a few books about dreams, but unfortunately, he seems to have gotten lost in dreams in the end.
