"Forget it. This Jinnion Tree is already a good harvest. There's no need to think too much about it."
Standing beside Adil, Radel shook his head, "Let's think about how we're going to split it."
"There's nothing much to say about the leaves. There are a total of 12 leaves, so each of us just needs four."
Clady nodded and pointed at the trunk of the Jinnion Tree, "The question is, how are we going to split the other parts?"
"Let's split them evenly." Adil said, "Apart from the leaves, the trunk, branches, and roots of the Jinnion Tree are also pretty good materials. Let's each take a portion."
Like the leaves, the branches and rhizomes of the Jinnain Tree were also very good materials. Not only could they be used to refine some magic tools, but they could also be used to refine some high-grade potions. They were also very valuable.
Of course, because this Jinnion Tree was close to death, the vitality in its branches had not been preserved, and its value was greatly reduced. To level 3 acolytes like them, it was not as valuable as the remaining leaves.
"Let's dig out this Jinnain Tree first," Crady said as he stood on the spot.
"I'll do it."
At the side, Adil nodded and walked forward under the watchful eyes of the two people.
Under the watchful eyes of the two, he skillfully dug out the surrounding soil and tried his best not to damage the roots of the tree.
"You're very skilled."
Seeing Adil's actions, Clady and Radel were somewhat surprised.
"I just happened to learn a bit," Adil said calmly.
After the Jinnairn tree was completely dug out, the roots of the smaller tree were also revealed.
There were very few rhizomes at the root, only seven or eight of them, and the longest one was only the length of a human palm. They looked very weak and dispirited, with only the last bit of vitality left.
"With this loss of vitality, unless we have a large amount of resources containing powerful vitality to nourish it, there's no hope of it coming back to life."
Looking at the roots of the small tree, even Radel, who didn't understand much in this area, came to this conclusion.
"What do we do? Do we split it? "Clady frowned as he looked at the exposed roots of the small tree.
There was a moment of silence.
If the Jinnain tree had remained in its present state, it might have been able to maintain its vitality, and there might have been a slim chance of saving it.
However, if it was directly separated from the roots, there would be no hope at all. After losing its branches and leaves, it would probably lose its vitality after a period of time. At that time, there would be no hope at all.
"Divide it." After a while, a voice broke the silence.
Radel stood in place, tapping the ground with his walking stick. He looked at the two and said, "It wasn't easy to find this place. Do you want to go back empty-handed?"
"Or, do you think you can find the legendary Spring of Life?"
"Let's split it." At this time, Adil also interrupted, "The Fountain of Life is a resource that only existed in ancient times. It has long been extinct in the current Sorcerer World. Even if there are some left, they will definitely be carefully collected by the official Sorcerers. It will not be our turn."
"Seems like that's the only way." Craddy sighed softly.
In fact, the three of them knew that apart from the reasons mentioned above, there were other reasons that could not be mentioned.
If the Jinnain tree was divided like this, everyone would have a decent harvest. However, if they chose to keep the Jinnain tree, the three of them would probably have to fight it out until only one of them was left.
If they chose to divide the Jinnain tree, they could divide it into three portions, and both sides would be satisfied. However, if they did not choose to divide it, how could they divide the Jinnain tree among the three of them? The only way was to silence the other two by fighting them.
After making the decision to split up, the tense atmosphere immediately eased, and it was no longer as heavy as before.
"Let me do it."
Under the gazes of the other two, Adil walked forward and said to Craddy and Radel, "I'm more familiar with this, so I can try not to damage the materials. Do you have any objections?"
Standing at the side, Radel and Craddy slowly shook their heads as they listened to Adil's words. They did not have any objections.
When it came to handling these materials, they were indeed not good at it. If they were not careful, they could damage the materials and cause their value to drop.
Seeing that the two had no objections, Adil turned around and began to process the Jinnain tree.
He was very skilled. During his days of studying under Edith, he had done many similar experiments, so it was easy for him to completely separate the Jinnairn tree.
"Apart from four leaves for each person, there's also a trunk, a rhizome, and three branches."
Standing in the same place, Adil divided the whole tree into several parts, then turned around and said to the two people behind him.
"I'll choose first."
Craddy nodded at Adil's words and reached for the half-meter long trunk. "I want the trunk. I can use it to make a new scepter."
"Then I'll choose second."
Standing still, Adil said, "I want the rhizome."
"Then I have no choice but to choose three branches." Beside him, Radel shrugged and said.
After the distribution was done, they quickly took their respective portions.
"This ruin looks quite big, and judging from the operation of the spell formations, it was at least set up by an official Magus. There might even be some items left behind."
After the distribution was done, Craddy turned his gaze to the ruins behind him and said to the other two.
"Let's go in and take a look, but be careful." Radel nodded and said.
"I have no objections." Adil's expression was calm as he nodded in Silence.
Once again, they reached an agreement and silently walked forward. However, this time, they split up as if they had a tacit understanding, each heading in a different direction.
Walking along a small path, Adil observed his surroundings in Silence.
The surroundings were very messy, and on the small path, there were some light red fragments scattered around.
Along the way, Adil also picked up some fragments. After using the A.I. Chip to examine them, he found that they were just ordinary materials with no value.
At the end of the path, Adil arrived at a large hall.
There were some wardrobes and other furnishings in the surroundings, as well as an extremely old laboratory bench. There was nothing on it, evidently cleaned up by the owner of this place.
After inspecting the surroundings for a while, Leylin found that most of the items had been moved away. There was not a single piece of clothing in the wardrobes, and although there were some simple laboratory equipment in the cabinet of the laboratory bench, there was nothing of real value. It seemed that it had been moved away long ago.
"Looks like the owner of this ruin did not meet with an accident, but left this place prepared."
Standing on the spot and roughly inspecting the surroundings, Adil had some doubts in his heart, "But if they left directly, why did they leave the Jinnion tree outside?"
"Or could it be that the owner of this ruin was preparing to leave temporarily, but due to some accident, they left the Jinnion tree here?" Leylin tried to guess as he observed the surroundings.
After continuing to search the surroundings for a while, Adil could not find anything. He could only turn back and slowly walk in the direction he came from.
Crady and Radel were standing where the Jinnion tree was, looking like they were waiting for Adil.
"How was it? Did you find anything? "
Adil could not help but ask as he looked at the two in the distance.
"Nothing."
Crady shook his head at Adil's words, "The entire ruin has been emptied, and there is nothing of value here. I only found some metal fragments that might have some unknown properties. "
"Me too." Radel shrugged his shoulders, "In one of the rooms, I found a few preserved blue crystals, but they are not worth a few magic crystals."
"It seems like this ruin was emptied when the owner left. Apart from the Jinnairn tree, the rest of the precious items were taken with him."
Crady had a helpless expression on his face, "Fortunately, from the looks of it, the owner of this ruin is a rather gentle type. Apart from the spell formation on the outside, there are no dangerous traps inside."
Magus ruins did not just represent opportunities. In some ruins, powerful Magi would often set up all sorts of terrifying traps and curses to entertain those who had designs on their laboratory.
The ruins before him were obviously safer. The previous Magi did not set up all sorts of terrifying traps inside, and only set up spell formations on the outside for defense and concealment.
"It's not like I didn't find anything."
Standing where he was, Adil shook his head, "Although the ruins have been emptied, the spell formation on the outside still exists. It seems like it will last for a while."
"This is a spell formation set up by an official Magus. If a Magus who is proficient in spell formations came here, they might be able to learn from it."
"But it's a pity that none of us are proficient in spell formations," Crady replied with a helpless expression.
"Forget it. This Jinnain Tree is already a pretty good harvest."
Radel smiled and said, "Being able to leave the ruins left behind by the Ancient Sorcerers in one piece is already good enough."
