Chapter 232 Induction
"If I could get in..."
Mo Lan did what he said. The mental power that was originally observing at the roots began to stick directly to the roots, trying to follow the fire element into the roots.
However, Mo Lan's attempt failed directly. It seemed as if there was a network at the roots, screening out objects that could pass through.
The fire element can pass, but Mo Lan’s mental strength cannot.
Mo Lan pondered for a moment, found the tiny roots that he had cut off before, and used his mental power to carefully observe the incision. At first glance, Mo Lan was immediately happy.
The incision was still fresh, with tiny channels appearing on it.
Mo Lan's mental power went straight up along the channel. The small channels converged into thicker channels, merging again and again. Finally, Mo Lan went up along a thicker channel and came directly to the end of the fire-patterned wood, the topmost leaf.
The mental power extended to the top and then pulled back, and then followed the thin branches to reach every corner of the Fire Pattern Wood.
"This seems very powerful, but...what's the use?"
The wood of the Fire-Pattern Wood can block the penetration of spiritual power. In other words, even if Mo Lan's spiritual power enters the Fire-Pattern Wood, it can only be in the channel.
Even if you go in, you can only look and sightsee, you can't do anything else.
Mo Lan fell into silence, and then called out the fire element in his brain.
Since mental force can't penetrate, then the fire element can, right?
"The composition of fire elemental life is simply fire element. What would happen if this fire element was absorbed by the fire wood?"
Mo Lan immediately controlled the fire element life to let the fire elements that made up his body flow along the roots of the fire-patterned wood into the fire element. The amount was not much, just a little bit, just to test it out first.
This time, Mo Lan discovered that the fire element did not need to pass through those open channels at all. Normal roots were enough for the fire element to enter.
The fire element seeped in little by little, gathered along the channel, and rose.
Mo Lan was pleasantly surprised to find that when the fire element flowed in the channel, it would penetrate into the tube wall, flowing from the thickest pipe in the center to the thinnest official channels, and then penetrate into the surrounding wooden structures, touching every corner of the fire-patterned wood and soaking every fiber of the fire-patterned wood.
The absorbed fire element was integrated into the Fire Pattern Wood itself, but the miraculous thing was that Mo Lan did not lose control and sensitivity of the Fire Pattern Wood.
A scene very similar to the previous one occurred. The fire element had been integrated into the fire-patterned wood, but it had not lost control.
Mo Lan could feel that the fire-patterned wood filled with fire elements seemed to have become one of his own.
Mo Lan's mental power can be directly integrated into it. This discovery allows Mo Lan to directly input the fire element.
The attempt ended, and streams of fire elements flowed into the fire-patterned wood along the root fibers, and the surging fire elements flowed upstream along the central pipe.
Mo Lan consciously controlled the fire element to separate into streams, which actively flowed into each tiny pipe and soaked the entire fire-patterned wood along these pipes.
After the fire element was injected, the fire-patterned wood collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It only took an hour to soak the entire fire-patterned wood.
Then Mo Lan patiently began to micro-manipulate, controlling the fire element little by little, from bottom to top, permeating every tiny corner.
The inspection took Mo Lan a lot of time. After completing the soaking of the last corner, Mo Lan felt completely integrated.
Mo Lan's mental power can travel through it at will. The Fire Pattern Wood, which has been integrated with the fire element as a whole, is completely defenseless against Mo Lan. After completing the integration of the entire Fire Pattern Wood, Mo Lan can even control it to a certain extent.
The Fire Pattern Wood cannot be bent or moved, but Mo Lan seems to be able to control the tiny fibers and close the channels inside the Fire Pattern Wood.
Mo Lan can stop the Fire Pattern Wood from growing or make it grow. Mo Lan can even make the Fire Pattern Wood grow in a directional manner through the stimulation of the fire element.
In addition, it was only at this time that Mo Lan finally understood the properties of this fire-patterned wood.
Hardness, this is something Mo Lan had known for a long time, and what Mo Lan just knew was another one.
That is, the conductivity of fire element of this fire-patterned wood is extremely terrifying, and its internal structure has a very powerful effect.
That is, the discrete fire elements go in and make a circle. If they come out from the top, the condensation and purity of these fire elements will be one level higher than before.
This is a very powerful effect, a very magical effect, and an effect that Mo Lan has never seen before.
"But what's the use? This effect seems to be useless. The most important feature of this fire wood to me is its hardness. It's light and hard, so it's convenient to hit people with it.
Forget it, how about putting it in the fire element pool? All the absorbed fire elements will pass through the fire-patterned wood, and then be refined before being stored in the main fire element pool?
Well, that sounds good. This way the Fire Element Pool can store more fire elements, although the Fire Element Pool has never been full.
Perhaps a fire element of high purity would have a more magical effect when used to cast spells?"
Mo Lan pondered for a moment, first cleared out the surrounding fire elements, and then used the fire-patterned wood to refine some fire elements.
"Fireball!"
The spell model appeared next to the fire-patterned wood. A suction force was released, and the refined fire element sank into the spell model and filled it.
"Bang!"
The fireball exploded on the surface of a water shield. After the explosion, Mo Lan withdrew his mental power and pondered for a moment.
“Since the element level is higher, the amount required to release the spell is reduced, which directly reduces the time it takes for the spell model to absorb the fire element, thus reducing the casting time.
Other than that, the power of the fireball has not changed, the flame temperature has not changed, and the impact strength has not changed."
Mo Lan shook his head.
"It's better to stay here and act as a filter. Maybe it can make the Mage Tower's reaction time faster and reduce the time it takes to release fire spells.
but……"
Mo Lan looked at the fire-patterned wood, immersed his mental power into it, and after guiding the fire element to make some stimulations, he nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the stairs.
However, at this moment Mo Lan was stunned and turned his head to look to the south. His sight seemed to cross the space and fall on the passage leading to the fire elemental world.
“Is it closed?”
Mo Lan murmured.
He had previously left a lava behemoth with a pet contract in the Fire Elemental Realm. He had previously had very clear perceptions of this pet and could clearly sense the pet's location and status.
However, just now, this connection was cut off and became extremely vague, as if they were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
However, the faint sense of the pet contract... still exists!
