Chapter 340: Chapter 336: Water Tide (Extra Updates at the End of the Month for Ranking Push)

Priestess Granny gestured for Mu Ying to put away the illusion and then asked her, "Is your Mana Value recovering very slowly?"

Thinking about Priestess Granny’s previous actions combined with her current words, Mu Ying’s breath hitched. Could there be a way to help her rapidly recover her Mana Value, such as the Water Tide?

Seeing her expression, Priestess Granny knew she was intrigued, "Water Tide is our Mermaid Clan’s Talent Magic, and not many mermaids know this spell. Generally, only those favored by the ocean and with the priest talent will awaken this spell. Lily is one such example. This spell cannot be taught to other races.

However, our clan has a Tide Meditation Method developed by our ancestors that combines the effects of the Water Tide which has a similar effect. Though it doesn’t restore as quickly as the Water Tide and requires a period of meditation, it’s still much stronger than natural recovery. How about we exchange this meditation method for those common plant cultivation methods and seeds you have? But you must vow not to share the Tide Meditation Method outside."

Mu Ying found herself unable to refuse. What she had intended to give away for free had turned into such a big gain, and it was indeed something she couldn’t refuse.

Although she had the natural recovery skill, its boost was always limited, which only allowed her to recover in a day instead of nearly a day and night.

Even if this Tide Meditation Method was far inferior to the effect of Water Tide, it could still save her some time, allowing her to practice spells more frequently every day.

After all, her biggest limitation in learning spells was probably her Mana Value.

Mu Ying stopped being pretentious; she genuinely needed it. However, she added, "Besides common plants, when I have some free time later, I can also help everyone grow some Crystal Coral. Once it gets through its infancy, Crystal Coral doesn’t require much magic to sustain and can grow naturally in seawater."

She felt that the aesthetics and habits of mermaids from both worlds were quite similar; they all loved shiny things, and for them, Crystal Coral must also be very attractive.

"Is Crystal Coral difficult to cultivate?" Priestess Granny asked.

Mu Ying shook her head, "I am the Green Witch who is most skilled at cultivating magic plants; for me, it’s quite easy."

"Well then, I’ll trouble you when the time comes," Priestess Granny didn’t refuse Mu Ying’s kind offer.

This was her trust in the Mermaid Clan, and they would not disappoint her.

"Granny, we should have a clan member who is good at cultivation go learn with Yingying. I’m bad at growing coral; it won’t work," Lily reminded.

She was eager to learn, but if she was tasked with the responsibility of passing on the knowledge to the clan, she was afraid she might not do well, which might trouble Yingying, who was already so busy and had many things to do.

"You are bad at growing coral because you hate eating them. You like eating Pearl Clams, so you can cultivate them well. Since you have the best relationship with Mu Girl, it’s also a good opportunity to learn something from her. It’ll keep you from being bored every day. Even if you mess up, as long as you record everything Mu Girl teaches you word for word in the shell book, it won’t affect the clan’s learning."

Priestess Granny insisted on Lily going; she still had a bit of selfishness.

Mu Ying was a junior she had high hopes for, especially in this Original World that was still in its early stages. If Lily could form a close relationship with her and learn from her, her future potential might also be higher.

Moreover, as the next designated priest of the clan, it was only because she was not yet of age and the clan had spoiled her somewhat. But in reality, she lacked neither talent nor ability, just a bit too playful and fickle at her age.

Mu Ying encouraged Lily, "Didn’t you say you wanted to spend more time with me without hindering my cultivation? Cultivating plants is also part of my cultivation. If you come and learn, you won’t have to worry about that. Moreover, the cultivation methods for those common plants aren’t as difficult as you think. They were all originally wild plants, with quite tenacious life force; although they are all underwater plants, their living environments have subtle differences. What you need to learn is just these points; it’s not difficult. Just as Priestess Granny said, even if you don’t master it, as long as you record the key points, it won’t affect others’ learning."

Lily looked at Mu Ying and then at Priestess Granny, spreading her hands, "Alright, but don’t blame me if this goes south!"

"The Tide Meditation Method works faster with the aid of the Water Tide, so you’ll teach Mu Girl too. You have the shell book recorded, right?" Priestess Granny added another burden to Lily without a moment’s hesitation.

The reason why was mainly because she had recently watched a new play at the Mushroom Man Theater titled "A Life Before the Apocalypse," which greatly inspired her to start learning from infancy.

No wonder humans, with their brief lifespans, could create so many miracles: every stage of their lives was accelerated, making them accustomed to cherishing time.

"Sure, I have experience with this!" Lily quickly agreed, teaching Yingying meant more time to spend with her, and she wouldn’t have it any other way!

Lily just lacked confidence in farming due to her coral fields yielding far below the average, but she still had a strong sense of responsibility.

Though she said not to blame her if she messed up, as soon as they left Priestess Granny’s place, she immediately dragged Mu Ying back to her own home.

Then Mu Ying watched her drag out a shell box, turn her home upside down, and stuff all the empty shells into the shell box until it was brimming, finally handing Mu Ying a string of shells that had writing on them.

"This here is the Tide Meditation Method," Lily said, closing the shell box.

In reality, mermaids both in and out of the Emerald World use shells as their means of recording text, calling them shell books, though the mermaids in the Emerald World use metal chisels to write, which is very slow.

But Lily and her kind use their own fingernails.

The fingernails of mermaids are not long, but they are incredibly tough and sharp, also serving as their innate weapons.

The string of shells that Mu Ying got was the shell book recording the Tide Meditation Method.

However, when Mu Ying picked it up, she saw it was full of messy scratches, like ripples on water.

"Haha, can’t understand it, can you?" Lily, dragging the box, couldn’t help but chuckle seeing Mu Ying’s confused expression, "This is written in Sea Clan Language; I can only speak but not write the Universal Language. I’ll dictate it for you to translate shortly, and you’ll understand."

Mu Ying nodded; she was already used to every Race having its own language and script.

After all, she couldn’t even understand when goblins and Koutao Fishmen cursed.

The Universal Language package gifted by the Doomsday Game sometimes was very universal, but at other times, not so much.

Races with lower cultural levels prefer to speak their own racial languages, simply because they don’t have the intelligence to learn multiple languages.

Even those from Races with higher cultural levels, though they might speak the Universal Language, would opt for their own or a less common language for recording important information due to greater privacy.
