“Everyone, come here!” Rezen shouted and from the soil, the Evil Groundshrooms emerged
The Needle Shooting Cacti also bounced and bounced cutely to reach Rezen
“Awuu awuu…” Roo flapped its shiny black wings to fly around Rezen as if it wants to earn his attention
“No, this is something that only Spirit Plants could use. Didn’t I already give you quality 4 spirit plants? It’s only a matter of time before you have a breakthrough!” Rezen said and the displeased crow can only land on his shoulder while watching the spirit plants in envy
“Alright, fall in line neatly and submerge your bodies inside” Rezen ordered, and one by one, the conscious spirit plants went inside the water storage with boiling blood inside
These conscious spirit plants might not be as intelligent as humans but they can understand his order
Thus, Rezen watched the cute scene with a smile on his face
The several water storages were not enough for the tens of thousands of spirit plants and he has to draw blood from the captive magic beasts multiple times
It was already almost nighttime when he was done and Rezen nodded his head in satisfaction
“With this, I can start planting more defensive units. I lack a tank and sensory type spirit plant”
Rezen left the spirit plants to play by themselves with only Roo on his shoulder as he went to the area that is designated for planting
“Seems like I have to draw an outline later. I’ll make my farm a fortress”
As of right now, Greenwood City has become a slightly dangerous place. If the low chance that the city falls, Rezen’s farm might not be left untouched
Since he still cannot take his farm with him, he at least has to have the power to protect his ‘golden finger’.
Without the farm, it would be hard for Rezen to advance
With a hoe in his hand, Rezen dug more than a thousand small holes on his farm. Thankfully, as a Tattoo Warrior, this is not a hard thing to do for him
After enough holes were dug, Rezen retrieved his supply of seeds. They were the seeds of Wailing Walnuts
These conscious spirit plants are commonly seen in a forest near Greenwood City
In terms of defense, these Wailing Wallnuts are top-notch. Besides, their offensive abilities were also not to be trifled with
These walnuts can use a sound attack directed to the soul itself. Not only would they be a great tank, but they are also a trump card for enemies with weak souls
Rezen and his subordinates always collected the seeds of various spirit plants and even normal plants whenever they have the chance
As such, Rezen has a saving of a thousand Wailing Walnut seeds. In his eyes, this is not enough but he can just send people later to bring back more seeds
Rezen placed one seed each for every hole before covering them with the soil
With the defensive units taken care of, it is now time for the sensory-type spirit plant
This time, Rezen only has ten seeds, all of which were seeds he obtained from the Daydream’s chairman but he only plans on using one for now
Heaven’s Vision Eyeflower. This is a conscious plant that only has one ability and that is to detect enemies!
Whether it be on the ground, underground, or in the sky, the Heaven’s Vision Eyeflower can detect enemies and give warning
The only problem was that the ability of these flowers as special grade spirit plants all depend on the number of eyes fed on them on a daily basisjosei
For example, if a Heaven’s Vision Eyeflower was fed with a hundred eyeballs that would mean that in the next 24 hours, it could detect enemies from 1st rank and below with a range of 100 meters in diameter even if they try to use stealth skills
What Rezen wants is for the Heaven’s Vision Eyeflower to be able to detect even enemies at the 6th rank
Normally, Rezen might use the eyeballs of the captured magic beasts since they could easily regrow them with the help of recovery pills
However, Kacy already gave him a solution for that
Another set of seeds appeared on Rezen’s palm and they are the seeds of Hundred-eye Pineapples
As far as Rezen is aware, the Hundred-eye Pineapples are also rare spirits that are popular
If a person even if they are not a mage went blind, they could transplant the eyes from this spirit plant to regain vision
“Hmm, I could also use these eyes as luxury cosmetic products” Rezen mused
The Hundred-eye Pineapples in total have a hundred different colors of pupils
Those that want to have blue, green, or even pink and rainbow pupils could do so without any side effects!
Whether it be the Blue Jade Tree, Heaven’s Vision Eyeflower, or the Hundred-eye Pineapple, these spirit plants are rare
It’s hard to mass-produce them and most of these spirit plants can only be found in the wild
They have special abilities but not just everyone could get a hold of them
“That Kacy… did he do this to force me into a cooperation?” Rezen thought bitterly
He has connections with Florine but she is an independent person without a backing
There is the Preston Family but Rezen’s cooperation and business with them can be considered ‘superficial’
He only made business with them through Claude’s people and those people are not necessarily able to provide him with the rare seeds
Rezen got a taste of having a backing. The seeds of the Spirit Plants that he would find hard to get were given to him easily
With that being the case, Rezen would be unwilling to go back to his old self where finding Spirit Plant seeds would become extremely hard
He didn’t interact much with Kacy but just the gift alone already enticed Rezen to agree with the cooperation
——-
When Rezen finished his farming work, it was already nighttime and his subordinates already returned with three more magic beasts
Even his previous enemy, Keito is also here
Speaking of Keito, when Rezen thought of selling his spirit plants in another city, he send him to inquire and gather some information
However, this made Rezen a bit embarrassed. He is already at least 90% willing to cooperate with Kacy and Daydream
If that happens then there is no need for him to do business in other cities
“Alright, let’s go eat” Rezen said and his people nodded their heads when…
Rezen sensed the Heaven’s Vision Eyeflower warning him
He only planted one such flower since as long as he fed it with more than a thousand eyeballs, one flower is enough to cover his farm and beyond
To use these spirit plants require some sort of ‘blood pact’ that was famous in various novels
Rezen gave the flower a drop of his blood, forming a connection between the two
As long as he gives the flower permission, the Heaven’s Vision Eyeflower could transmit images of what it could see to him
Since the flower warned him, Rezen naturally gave permission and the images transmitted directly to his mind shook him
“What the hell?! More snakes?! Where are they coming from?!” Rezen exclaimed in surprise. Almost all the hair on his body stood up
There are thousands, no, there were tens of thousands of snakes traveling underground
Even if Rezen were to fight these black snakes, most of his defensive units would definitely fall
As such, Rezen tried to not provoke them and he ordered the Evil Groundshrooms to emerge on the surface
Sweat trickled down from Rezen’s forehead but after seeing that the black snakes seems to have no intention of attacking his farm, he felt slightly relieved
However, he was still worried as based on the scene that the Heaven’s Vision Eyeflower submitted to him, the black snakes were traveling in the direction of Greenwood City
Their number seems to be increasing continuously and it was natural to be afraid of them
“Black Dancer! Shadow Dancer!” Rezen called out the nicknames of the two female guards guarding him from the dark and they emerged from the shadows
“Sir Rezen” the two replied while kneeling in front of Rezen
“Go out of the farm’s perimeter and use magic to kill two black snakes underground and bring their bodies!”
“Black snakes?”
“Yes, black snakes. Similar to the ones we fought yesterday. They are traveling towards Greenwood City!”
The guards stared at each other for a moment before one of them made a move
In just a few minutes, the guard returned with two black snakes in his hand
“Close your eyes and turn your back!” Rezen ordered and the two did as they were told
Rezen ordered the farm to absorb one of the black snakes before asking a question
“Does that snake also contain special energies?” Rezen questioned
The snakes yesterday based on the system contains ‘special energies’. At first, he just ignored it but now, it seems like it wasn’t something that should be ignored
[Yes] the system answered affirmatively
“As expected” Rezen’s eyes shone. These snakes are really weird and they should be investigated!
