Chapter 154 Multifunctional Magic Plant Platform

One month later.

  Locke opened up ten acres of magic fields planted with emerald iris lichen in the second small and medium-sized plantation.

  The ten acres of magic field in front of Locke are lush and lush. The emerald lichen is originally a very beautiful magic plant, and every tiny leaf-like part of the lichen is as beautiful as a gem.

 The iris lichen cultivated by Locke is even covered with a rainbow-like film on the surface of the leaf-shaped parts.

 This makes this magical field of emerald iris lichen seem to be planting a piece of gemstone, and a rainbow light is reflected in the sky above this piece of emerald gemstone.

Next to the ten acres of magic field, there are five tauren noble slaves, under the command of Locke, watering the emerald iris lichens with nutrient solution.

Locke observed the scene, "The first batch of emerald iris lichen is about to be produced. The cost of planting emerald iris lichen is actually lower than that of Crystal Palm Fire Lotus."

With the exception of the fixed three-piece advanced breeder set of 200 magic stones, the rest of the emerald iris lichen only requires 100 magic stones, five tons of shadow agent, and 50 magic stones per pound of animal bones.

 Because Emerald Iris Lichen is actually a fungus-like magic plant, it needs to transform decayed animal bones to produce special nutrients.

There is a Bloody Howl Colosseum in Lilith's Cottage Academy, where wizards in the field of beast taming and magic are concentrated for learning. There are a large number of corpses of magical creatures there every day, so the price is very cheap and it is not difficult to buy.

  Shadow potion is a very simple potion product, so simple that third-level wizard apprentices can make it in large quantities as long as they undergo certain training.

 With the exception of specific pharmaceutical laboratories dedicated to this low-end industry, other pharmaceutical laboratories, including Locke's pharmaceutical laboratory, are too lazy to do this.

 Because the price is very cheap, there are no technical barriers or cost barriers at all. The only barrier is that no one is willing to waste energy to produce this thing by themselves.

  Jade iris lichen needs to be mixed with a small amount of shadow agent into the soil during the planting process, so that this magical plant can thrive.

  Because there is no need to use a weather controller like the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus, there are no special requirements for planting temperature, and the supporting animal bones and shadow agents are cheap and low-level products, so the planting cost is indeed relatively low.

  It only cost 400 magic stones in total to open up these ten acres of magic fields.

 After this month, due to the income from the treatment center, the income from the plantation, plus the magic stones saved from the last collective purchasing contract order, my own magic stone reserves, as well as the second collective purchasing contract order, have reached an astonishing 28,300!

 Just because the total cost of meditation in the past two months was 16,800, plus the opening of magic fields and scattered expenses, Locke's current savings are only 10,700.

  But this is still a huge sum of money for an ordinary first-class wizard apprentice to work as a worker.

 Locke is also planning to use this huge sum of money to go to the Chimera Market and purchase a large amount of magic resources at one time to forcibly increase his mental power.

  After all, compared with this huge amount of money, my mana has only increased by 5 points this month.

  Like a turtle speed.

 But compared to the stage when the advanced meditation method was not used, the growth rate was already many times longer. After all, when I had more than 200 mana points at that time, it took two months to increase 1 mana point (the quality of the mana was not as good as now).

His current actual mental power growth rate is about 24 times that of when he does not use advanced meditation methods and does not use additional resources, and 4 times that of when he does not use additional resources and only uses advanced meditation methods.

 Locke looked at the emerald iris lichen in front of him. In the past month, he not only cultivated the ten acres of emerald iris lichen in front of him here, he also continued to use the emerald iris lichen here to improve the level of his magic co-frequency cultivation method in order to prepare for the breeder exam one month later.

 At the same time, Locke made a bold attempt.

Locke came to the five emerald iris lichens that had carved out an acre of magic field. He used a knife to gently cut off the upper part of one emerald iris lichen, and then transplanted a section of the malignantly deteriorated Tiefroot vine that he had previously obtained from treating Ruixing to the emerald iris lichen.

Locke used a bamboo stick to fix the two, chanted a spell, and used a [Secondary Grafting Healing Technique], and then sprinkled high-grade fast-growing gel with his left hand.

  Under the influence of Locke's magic and advanced fast-growing gel, the two grafted magic plants of different types healed together quickly.

  There is some subtle magical energy conflict between the two, which causes the wounds of the two to repair, fester, repair, and fester again.

In fact, over the past month, I have been fine-tuning the spell model of [Secondary Grafting Healing] and constantly trying to cultivate offspring that can adapt to the negative energy of the emerald iris lichen on the deteriorated vines.

 The grafting and cultivation experiment in front of me has been repeated for more than half a month, and more than ten emerald iris lichen trees have been destroyed.

 Loke's eyes were fixed on the wound of the Emerald Iris Lichen. His pupils suddenly narrowed because under the influence of his secondary grafting healing technique, the wound of the Emerald Iris Lichen finally grew together with the deteriorated vine.

  "Successful." Locke was slightly excited. "My idea is feasible. This is a mutant magic plant of emerald iris lichen that I came up with based on the existing materials after relying on the Rubik's Cube to synthesize advanced magic plants!"

He saw that under the action of the advanced fast-growing gel, the jade iris lichen had undergone some changes to adapt to the deteriorated vine, and at the same time, the deteriorated vine was rapidly undergoing some kind of optimization.

  The dull red on the surface of the vines turned into green, and the barbs degenerated one by one. The Tiefuluo root vine is slowly returning to its original shape.

 Although it is impossible to completely restore the vines to their original state, the vines that have been severely deteriorated have indeed been improved again.

 At the same time, the shape of my emerald iris lichen has changed. The color and luster have not changed, but the leaves of the original small leaf-like fungus lichen have merged with each other and turned into a hard shell, that is, it has become a crust-like fungus lichen.

 This hard shell is about the size of a small buckler.

 It is like a huge emerald buckler, which can also reflect rainbow-colored light.

Locke dipped a bamboo stick into a little of the fungal mucus on the surface of the special variety of emerald iris lichen he had newly cultivated, and then applied it to a section of the degraded magic plant vine he obtained from Ruixing. The surface of the vine suddenly seemed to be burned and began to dehydrate rapidly, and some parts of the degraded magic plant vine also showed positive changes.

  "Successful." Locke thought: "I had previously guessed that lichen is a kind of magical plant that is prone to mutation."

“And my Emerald Iris Lichen has the ability to change magic resistance with high adaptability, so I only need to use the grafting and cultivation method to graft the mutated magic vines on Luckin’s body onto the Emerald Iris Lichen, so that the Emerald Iris Lichen can continue to adapt. This plant is cursed."

  "Produces corresponding magic resistance."

  "In this way, a magic plant can be born that can resist a specific curse." Locke quickly calmed down. "Emerald lichen was originally just a consumable magic plant used to configure magic potions, not a combat magic plant."

  "The foundation is not good."

  "And now, the special variety of jade iris lichen I have made can only adapt to a single curse and is not stable yet. So now it can only be regarded as the beginning, and it cannot be regarded as the completion of this work."

“I need to use this mutated emerald iris lichen as the mother body, use cutting cultivation method, keep copying, and use its daughter body, use grafting cultivation method, transplant more magic plant curses onto it, so that it can adapt to different curses.”
