Chapter 331 Chapter 331: Farm Upgrade
Aside from that authentic treasure of heaven and earth that Rezen consumed to have a supreme resistance to poison, there was also an abundant amount of contaminated stones nearby and he naturally wouldn't waste them
As such, in excitement, Rezen harvested one contaminated stone after another. The number was simply not in the hundreds or thousands. It should be tens of thousands of contaminated stones and it could even reach hundreds of thousands!
Of course, their equivalent is not exactly hundreds of thousands of low-grade mana stones considering that the farm absorbs the pure energy these stones possess. As for the contaminants, they are simply 'stored' by the farm and it cannot fully absorb them
Only when the farm was upgraded to a certain extent could it also convert or absorb these contaminants as if they were pure energy
One contaminated stone after another was mined by Rezen. With such a large number of them, he simply decided to stop counting as it was useless. He would rather focus his energy on harvesting all these stones since he cannot really stay here indefinitely
It is possible that this treasure trove will be discovered by another person and Rezen is naturally unwilling to share the benefits with them
[Ding! Congratulations to Master for upgrading the farm!]
[The farm can now grow Spirit Plants at the 5th cycle of the Junior Rank!]
Ivy's magnetic and emotionless voice rang inside Rezen's mind after mining who knows how many contaminated stones. The amount the farm needed to be upgraded was really outstanding
If it was any other Junior Rank entity at the 4th cycle absorbing the same amount of energy that the farm absorbed, even just a fraction of it might have already caused their bodies to explode. This was simply unbelievable!
Of course, things don't end there since there are still an abundant amount of contaminated stones. To Rezen's surprise, there were also such stones buried on the ground and not just on the surface areas!
His farm would definitely be upgraded by more than just a level. At this point, Rezen is already far aware that only when his farm was upgraded would he have an easier time in his cultivation
It doesn't matter how weak or low his talent is, with the farm's help, he could have access to an amount of resources that no other mage could possibly get in their lifetime!
Mine! Mine! And mine!
Rezen was wildly mining all the contaminated stones he could discover. He spared no expense for mana and whenever he ran out of mana, he would simply consume restorative Spirit Plants to replenish his mana
As such, his mana was being constantly replenished and exhausted. Even his soul is in the same state. After all, it requires the soul or mental energy to manipulate mana and cast magic. Fortunately, while Rezen doesn't have top-notch spirit plants for the soul, he still discovered some useful ones that he previously planted on his farm
This never-ending cycle continued and the farm was elevated to the 6th, 7th, 8th, and even until the 9th cycle!
This means that Rezen can now plant Spirit Plants up to the 9th cycle of the Junior Rank!
If he merely relied on contaminated stones that are equivalent or actually less than low-level mana stones, who knows how many millions or billions of mana stones that would take?
However, Rezen actually discovered and mined mid-grade mana stones which are equivalent to ten low-grade mana stones each. After all, Rezen's farm required 100 million low-grade mana stones or 10 million mid-grade mana stones to recover when he just entered the Savage Beast Realm. Because of the high amount of mana that they possess and also the rarity, such stones are actually used by Senior Mages and not Junior Mages with their transactions.
Not to mention, Rezen also discovered and mined contaminated stones equivalent to high-grade mana stones. Each of these mana stones is equivalent to ten mid-grade mana stones. Not to mention, with their rarity and usefulness, there was almost no market for their conversion!
If not for the fact that these are contaminated stones and not authentic and real mana stones, Rezen would have stored some of the mid-grade and high-grade ones for future use. Unfortunately, because of the contaminants, Rezen can only let the farm absorb them. In any case, this was not necessarily a loss for him. The higher the rank of the farm is, the more beneficial it is to Rezen!
As soon as the farm was upgraded to the 9th cycle, it was as if the farm reached some sort of limit. As the owner, Rezen can sense it and his mind immediately enters his mystical farm
Above the farm were the mystic gems that Rezen possessed and brought with him from the Earth Realm. Originally, there were thirteen of them which are; Sun, Water, Earth, Fire, Lightning, Moon, Wind, Crow, Soul, Space, Nature, Metal, and Darkness
However, as of the moment, there was actually another gem that was being condensed above the farm. And this new gem possessed an aura familiar to Rezen
It was the aura that the contaminated stones and also the spirit plants that can be found in the Krome Underground can be felt
This was the aura of poison!
Indeed, this was the aura of poison. Much to Rezen's surprise, the farm was actually condensing a mystic gem with the poison attribute. This was a surprise for him
"Hmm? Is this because the farm stored a large amount of the contaminants? With the amount that the farm stored, why do I feel like it's still inferior to my Sun-type mystic gem? Hence, even until now, I still have the most talent with the sun-type attribute" Rezen muttered as he found this weird
It was not that he had some sort of favoritism over the element of the sun. He was mostly focusing on it right now because it was the attribute he was the best at
Not to mention, he can support his talent for this attribute until he reaches the peak of the Junior Rank. After all, he still possesses the Sun Holy Water up to the 9th cycle of the Junior Rank. If he let the farm absorb all of them, his talent for sun-type spells would reach an even higher level
As such, he really can't help but be confused as to why even after absorbing such a large amount of contaminants, the poison-type mystic gem is still inferior compared to the sun-type mystic gem
Fortunately, Ivy appeared to answer his question. "Master should be familiar with the Law of Energy Conservation, correct? The principle is similar. It requires energy to condense the mystic gem that is connected to master, thereby increasing master's talent over this element. As such, although the amount of contaminants was indeed high, it was still not at the level of the sun-type mystic gem as it requires a large amount of energy for the new gem to be condensed"
"Master should also be aware that the mystic gems you bought possessed the slightest trace of 'Law' from the earth realm but the contaminants did not. Even if it was only a small trace, that was still the power of the laws albeit it came from a broken realm. As such, to make up for the quality, the farm can only use quantity to create another mystic gem"
Upon hearing that explanation, Rezen nodded his head. Indeed, that sounds quite logical and he was not that disheartened. In any case, there were still a number of contaminated stones he could mine but as if Ivy could sense his thoughts, the fairy shook her head
"Master, the farm as of the moment already reached the amount of contaminants it can store. It was only the poison-type mystic gem that was condensed that forced the farm to still be stable"
"If the farm absorbs even more contaminated stones, the contaminants will surely harm the farm and could cause it to die"
Rezen frowned at that. He thought that he could continue upgrading the farm. Even if it cannot reach the Senior Rank, he should still come a step closer to that. He didn't expect that after just a single trip, the farm could not absorb anymore contaminated stones
"Why is that? Explain more" Rezen said as he still hasn't understood the reason why the farm cannot store any more contaminants
"To answer that, please try to sense the farm carefully. Please focus on sensing the contaminants"
At that, Rezen immediately closed his eyes to deeply sense the farm. Since the farm is connected to him, it was a piece of cake for him to do as Ivy said, and in a short period of time, Rezen understood the reason why the farm could not absorb any more contaminants
"I see, so that was the case. Since the farm cannot absorb the contaminants yet, the contaminants become 'part' of the farm but are not fully integrated into it. As such, the farm would immediately be unstable if it absorbed more"
