"Mr. Rowling, I don't know what's wrong with this Fire-Patterned Vine. It was fine a few days ago, but suddenly it started to wither."
"I checked the soil, the moisture, and adjusted the energy frequency, but nothing worked."
"Using the 'Azure Wood Spirit Gathering Technique,' I sensed that the energy flow within it was very sluggish, and some nodes seemed to be—blocked?"
Luo Lin put down the energy calculation draft in his hand and took the ceramic basin.
Fire-patterned Vine is a low-level magical plant with natural flame patterns on its leaves. It can absorb trace amounts of fire element energy and is usually very resilient.
He extended his right hand, his index finger gently resting on a vine. He didn't use the Insight Ring, but relied purely on his own sensitivity to energy and mental power to perceive it.
He quickly noticed something was wrong.
The energy flow inside the vines was indeed sluggish. At some tiny energy nodes, there were extremely small energy deposits with faint dark spots, which hindered the normal circulation.
"It's not a disease, nor is it an environmental problem." Rowling withdrew his finger.
"It's an energy buildup. The fire element energy it absorbed wasn't pure enough, and it was mixed with some trace amounts of inert ash energy impurities. It couldn't metabolize them itself, and over time, it blocked the energy nodes."
"It's like a tiny blood clot in a person's blood vessel."
"Oh? What should we do?" Ellie exclaimed anxiously.
"Can you unclog it?"
"You can give it a try. You've learned basic energy channeling techniques, right?" Rowling looked at Ellie.
"Use your mental power to guide a wisp of the gentlest natural energy, like the finest needle, slowly probing into those stagnant points, attempting to gently wash away and break them down."
"The process must be slow and careful, so as not to damage the delicate energy channels of the vines themselves."
"This will be a test of your control precision."
Ellie took a deep breath, nodded, and sat down opposite Rolin. She placed her hands lightly on the Fire Pattern Vine, closed her eyes, and began to mobilize the vibrant spiritual energy cultivated from the "Azure Wood Spirit Gathering Technique," carefully probing towards the blocked nodes.
Luo Lin watched quietly from the side, without making a sound to disturb him.
He could see Ellie's spiritual energy like pale green threads, gently wrapping around the vines, trying to penetrate them.
At first, I was a bit clumsy. Either the force was too light to move the stagnation, or it was too heavy and caused the energy channels of the vines to contract in response to stress.
But Ellie was very patient; if it didn't work the first time, she would try again, gradually adjusting the intensity and frequency of her mental energy.
Gradually, she found her footing.
The pale green spiritual energy threads became increasingly solid and flexible, gradually breaking down the tiny dark deposits and guiding them towards the surface of the vines, where they were slowly expelled through the tiny pores of the leaves.
This process lasted for nearly an hour.
When the last major blockage was cleared, the Fire-patterned Vine clearly perked up. Although its scorched yellow leaves could not immediately return to their emerald green color, its lifeless, withered state disappeared, replaced by a weak vitality.
Ellie let out a long breath, her forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, and her face was a little pale, but her eyes were bright and full of a sense of accomplishment.
"It's a success! Mr. Rowling, I can feel it! The energy inside it has started flowing again!"
"Well done," Rowling nodded approvingly.
"The handling is very stable, and I'm very patient."
"Remember this feeling, and you'll know how to handle similar situations in the future."
"Energy accumulation is not uncommon in the cultivation of magical plants, especially in varieties that grow in complex energy environments."
"A good plant magician must not only know how to plant, but also how to heal."
Ellie nodded vigorously, making sure she remembered Rowling's words.
In the evening, Rowling would take a walk on the small hillside on the edge of town.
Ellie would sometimes follow along, and sometimes she would stay in the cabin to organize records or take care of the magical plants.
Standing on the hillside, gazing at the unchanging dark red where the distant wilderness meets the horizon, Rolin's mind would slowly drift away.
The flames and roar of the scorching hell seem to have faded away, leaving only fragments of memory and the power that has settled within the body.
The mysteries of the civilization stele, the bottlenecks in magical improvement, the road ahead—these thoughts sometimes surged and sometimes subsided.
The daily life in Black Rock Town was like a solid whetstone, gradually polishing and internalizing the storms he had experienced, settling them into a deeper foundation and clearer understanding.
On this day, as Rolin was experimenting in the experimental field to optimize the internal nested structure of [Spiral Seiya], the communication crystal suddenly vibrated slightly.
It was sent by researcher Duden.
"Rolin, is it convenient to talk? There's a new discovery on the Cornerstone Project that might be related to your research on the collapse of order."
.
Luo Lin stopped practicing and walked to a quiet spot.
"Researcher Duden, please speak."
"From a newly triggered information projection on the Civilization Stone Tablet, we have deciphered a very special set of energy structure diagrams. This set of diagrams seems to describe a mathematical model that structurally cancels out highly ordered lattice energy with highly chaotic clouds."
"Although it's just a theoretical framework, and many parameters are missing, the mathematical description of the contact and annihilation of opposing energies it contains is far more systematic and in-depth than the preliminary concept you shared with me before!"
"I've sent the preliminary analysis data and graphs to your encrypted file. Take a look when you have time; they might offer some new insights."
Duden said.
A thought struck Luo Lin.
"Okay, I'll check it right away."
"Thank you, Duden."
After ending the communication, Rowling quickly walked back to the research room inside the Black Rock Hut.
Activating the encrypted archive reveals the data stream and three-dimensional energy structure map sent by Duden.
After only a few glances, Rowling was completely captivated.
This set of diagrams uses extremely concise mathematical language and geometric structures to describe how two completely different energy systems, under specific boundary conditions, can achieve localized and controllable energy cancellation and transformation through a series of complex resonances, interferences, and phase modulations.
Some of the key energy contact surface designs and frequency modulation methods bear a striking resemblance to the methods he had previously explored for successfully annihilating the trace chaotic energy of the Purple Plague Stone, but are more systematic and optimized!
"This is the real methodology," Rowling murmured to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
With this more systematic theoretical framework as guidance, research on the "disorder breakdown" is likely to see a breakthrough!
He immediately immersed himself in analyzing and understanding the new data, and even only ate a few bites of the dinner that Ellie brought him in the evening.
Over the next few days, Rowling spent almost all his time in the research lab.
Combining the new map of the Civilization Stone Tablet with his own experimental data, he reconstructed the theoretical model of the "disintegration of order," adjusted the structure and emission parameters of the order probe, and began to design a more complex, but theoretically more effective, energy modulation sequence.
He knew that there was still a long way to go before he could make this spell practical.
But at least the direction is clearer, and the path ahead is more defined.
