020: Set sail!

I don't know how long it was, but the rain gradually subsided until it stopped completely, and the howling wind also put away his violent temper, revealing his usual gentleness.

The clouds soothed, the clouds gradually dispersed, and a few rays of sunlight broke through the white clouds, illuminating the sea, illuminating the beach, and illuminating the figures on the reef.

On the reef, the appearance of the man sitting cross-legged was changing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, the sun spots on his skin were fading, and the wrinkles on his face had faded a little, most obviously the silver hair.

It's like dyed black ink, this black ink starts to spread down from the scalp, making the original gray hair more black, and in just a few minutes, the whole person is 10 years younger!

When the changes in his body had completely stopped, Roshi slowly opened his eyes, and the tiredness in his eyes was swept away, and a joy spread rapidly in his eyes.

"Whew!"

With a long sigh of relief, Roshi stood up from the top of the stone tablet, he did not immediately check his appearance at this time, but faced the sparkling sea, showing a smile as bright as the sun.

The success of the promotion is indeed something to celebrate, but what makes him even happier is that he has overcome himself.

Before the crossing, Roshi was just an ordinary person, and every time he encountered a difficult situation in his life, he didn't think about how to solve it, but about changing his path.

When he was a child, when he was faced with unsolvable problems when doing homework, the first thing he thought about was not how to solve them, but to copy them from other classmates.

Roche has no doubt that after entering the work in the future, when faced with the dilemma at work, he will definitely not think about how to solve it, but about changing jobs.

Now, everything has changed, with a fresh start, and the future will be full of possibilities!

It turns out that the fear of death is still good for physical and mental health, and if it weren't for the pressure of survival, he wouldn't have been able to squeeze out his potential and enjoy the joy of success!

Then, Roch washed his face at the beach, took the opportunity to observe the changes in his appearance in detail, raised the bonfire and had a simple lunch, and then entered a meditative state again-

At this time, we should not be too silent in the joy of success, because complacent words can easily breed our own pride, and thus lose our way on the road ahead.

For the next half month, Roshi spent most of his time on consolidation.

After this advancement, the seed was broken through a gap, and the golden liquid flowed down from the gap, converging into a small patch under the seed, like a shallow puddle.

This is the mana pool.

Only when a mana pool is formed can there be enough mana for wizards to perform sorcery, which also becomes the standard symbol that apprentices can start to construct spells based on spell models.

And the apprentice who has mastered the spell is really a member of the wizard group!

......

A month after the promotion, Roshi decided to leave the island after some deliberation.

The difficulty of the wizard's growth path always increases exponentially, and after the first rune is drawn, the total amount of elements required for the second rune is several times greater than that of the first.

Although because of the increase in spiritual power, the efficiency of absorbing elements is also much faster, but Luo Xi's talent is there, and being able to absorb three elements per hour is already the limit.

You must know that according to the records of the wizards of the Black Tower, apprentices who can successfully advance to wizards can absorb at least a dozen or twenty elements per hour when drawing the second rune, and a talented genius like Karina can easily absorb dozens or even hundreds of elements.

With the skeleton man's pocket watch alone, it is not easy for Roshi to catch up with the pace of time, not to mention that the gap in talent will only widen in the future, and it will become more and more difficult to advance.

Therefore, Luo Xi decided that he had to return to the human world and exchange some 'meditation potions' and other materials to assist his cultivation with other wizards to speed up his cultivation process.

Having made up his mind, Roshi went into action.

He first went to the outer side of the jungle and cut down some trees with thick legs and straight growth, and collected a total of fifty trees.

Then he used a spear and dagger to carefully cut 20 small holes in each log from end to end, which was a laborious task, and it was necessary to put the logs in order and ensure that they were in the same position.

After five years of unremitting training, Luo Xi was already one step away from being promoted to an official knight at this time, and his strength had increased a lot, and the hundred-pound log was not under pressure on his shoulders.

When he had done all this, he harvested some more 'sea silk grass', a purple grass as thin as a hair, and very soft, but as tough as ordinary steel wire.

Roch cut a large piece, twisted them together, and weaved them into hemp rope, and then spent two more days collecting the resin of the 'Dragonbark Tree', which was very sticky and very resistant to cold and heat, and the corrosive nature of sea salt and the strength of the sun had little effect on it.

The neatly arranged logs are strung together with braided hemp rope, and then coated with thick resin, and finally the plantain leaves, which are also coated with resin, are erected as sails for sailing.

Finally, the whole hut was moved under the sail, reinforced with hemp rope and resin, and fixed on it, and Roshi's raft was made, about six meters wide and about fifteen meters long.

He also gave his masterpiece a name, called Xincheng, which means a new beginning, a new journey, and a new future!

But a sturdy raft alone wasn't enough to support him on the ocean.

In the following month, he suspended all cultivation and concentrated on weaving baskets, and with his hands-on ability in the past few years, he compiled more than 100 baskets.

Some of them are coated with a thick layer of resin, leaving only a movable lid to freeze, cut and put the water in the cistern, while the other part is used to hold the seafood in the fishing pond, and after they are finished, they are tied to the raft with a long hemp rope.

Worried about the lack of fresh water, he also made some simple freshwater converters out of some coconuts, hollowed-out reeds, and a few dried jellyfish skins.

There is no record of how to do this thing in the wizard's bookstore, and the reason why Roshi was able to make it out is all because of the accumulation of knowledge in his previous life.

"It's really a lucky thing to travel a month before the college entrance examination!"

After trying several times and finally verifying that there was indeed nothing wrong with this thing, Roshi, who was standing on the beach, said with emotion.

Finally, there is the problem of eating!

In order to solve this problem, Roch took a moment to cut a few reefs with a dagger, made a simple concave stove, and measured it several times to make sure that the flame of the flaming dagger would not spread out, otherwise it would be blown by the wind and set the raft on fire, and the joke would be too big!

Three months after the last work was done, and the weather was in the depths of summer, Roch picked a sunny day, loosened the rope tied to the reef, and pushed the raft into the sea.

Standing on top of the raft, Roshi finally waved his hand at the island that brought him hope, and also at the skeleton man who gave him hope.

Then.

He raised the sails.

With open arms, facing the boundless sea, facing the bright rising sun, and facing the strange future, he shouted loudly with all his strength:

"Set sail!"
