Chapter 276 276
Since treasures that could instantly turn Rezen into a peerless genius are extremely rare, if he can't find them, he could only rely on resources such as the Rego Weed
While the Rego Weed couldn't turn Rezen into a genius overnight, as long as his consumption of it was regular, the weed could slowly increase his talent
Spirit Plants like the Rego Weed are more common compared to resources that could make a person fly high in an instant. It's easier for Rezen to find them and with the help of his farm, he could have a steady supply of these kinds of resources
As such, Rezen used his mana to scoop the Rego Weed from the ground. He made sure not to damage any part of it and with a telekinetic ability, he removed the remaining soil from it
Rezen stored the Rego Weed in his elixir field, specifically on his farm before searching around where it grows for the seeds
If Rezen were to find seeds of the Rego Weed, he would place the weed later into his spatial pouch. But if not, he would smuggle and use it for his personal consumption
Fortunately, he saw brown small seeds scattered in the soil around where the Rego Weed grew and Rezen collected them while storing them on the farm
"Luckily, the Rego Weed was a low-level Junior Rank spirit plant" Rezen muttered
Spirit Plants at the 1st cycle could easily be grown on his farm. Those in the 2nd cycle would take a long time but is still possible. As for 3rd cycle Spirit Plants, it was even harder and longer to grow them and the farm must fully focus on growing these Spirit Plants
As long as the Spirit Plants that Rezen will grow on his farm are low-level Junior Rank, if given enough time, he could still succeed in growing them. But for mid and high-level Junior Rank and above, that has to wait until the farm receives another upgrade
After checking that there was no other Rego Weed and its seeds nearby, Rezen continued in his search
——
12 hours later
Rezen entered his farm with his soul again. It was still the same circular piece of land with a circumference of a hundred meters
On the side, a small pile of Spirit Plants that Rezen harvested over the course of 12 hours could be seen and in the very center of the farm, a large tree could be seen
The tree was at least as tall as three Rezen combined and even three people could not fully hug it. The tree also has thick roots that covered the entirety of the farm
It was using every ounce of energy that the farm could absorb from the universe. For now, it was no different than a parasite tree due to it absorbing everything that the farm could give to it
On a branch of this tree, a fruit as small as a fist was growing. At first, the fruit was completely green in color but in just a matter of seconds, it started glowing, and the color of its skin changed
From a fruit that only has one color, it started to gain all the colors of a rainbow
"The Fortune Fruit" Rezen muttered as he walked toward the tree
Different methods of stealing fortune aura would result in different endings. Others would simply transfer the target's fortune aura to them and just like the heavens' blessed, the thief could not consciously control the fortune aura or choose on what aspect they would be lucky
While Rezen does not have the ability to completely control the fortune aura stored and processed into the Fortune Fruit, he was better than the others
He could roughly use the fortune aura to accomplish or get something that he wants
Rezen raised his hand and the Fortune Fruit detached itself from the tree. As soon as that happens, the tree itself turned into ashes that scattered around and were absorbed by the farm
The Fortune Fruit landed on Rezen's hand and with a smile, he willed it to exit the farm and his elixir fieldjosei
In Bellmond Valley, Rezen opened his eyes and the Fortune Fruit could be seen in his hand
He cannot manipulate all the details but he could still use the fortune aura depending on what he wants
For a heavens' blessed, the fortune aura is like a passive boost on luck stats. However, how they could become lucky is not up to them
A mage might dream of becoming a powerful Spirit Mage but every opportunity they come across is something that would make them succeed in the Body Mage path. Another example is that a mage wanted to be a talented alchemist but their luck made them suitable not for alchemy but for running a successful business
They cannot utilize the fortune aura depending on their will and their fortune aura would automatically move on its own but Rezen is different
He started biting the Fortune Fruit and a sweet taste engulfed his taste buds. Maybe because it was a sweet thing to be a heavens' blessed as such, the fortune fruit tastes really sweet
After Rezen ate the entire fortune fruit, the green aura of the farm covered his body as he closed his eyes and roughly directed the fortune aura to help him achieve what he had in mind
After that, Rezen opened his eyes and he continue traveling inside the valley as if nothing happened
Although he used the fortune aura, it looks like nothing happened to him just like how the heavens' blessed along with other people only considered them as either talented or they became lucky in some instances
The fortune aura was already working to get Rezen what he wants but because the level of the fortune aura was not much, his desire wouldn't just directly fall into his lap. Rezen still has to consciously make the effort

"What the hell! I consumed the fortune fruit, why am I about to become another statistic?!" Rezen complained as he hurriedly dodged the attack of a large flower
The valley was filled with many flowers both Spirit Plants and not. Turns out that there's also a Giant Thorny Flower here!
This Giant Thorny Flower was three meters tall. It has long roots as its legs and feet and these roots are connected to its thick stem and on top of that stem was a head made out of petals. In the middle of the petals were sharp rows of teeth
On the side of its body, the Giant Thorny Flower has tentacle-like arms that are filled with thorns. Getting hit by these tentacles would surely hurt
There are some entities that are both Spirit Plants and Magic Beasts. They are those that have plant-like physical bodies but they act like magic beasts in the sense that most of them have low intelligence and they have the ability to attack
Rezen didn't expect that on his first day as a forager, he would encounter a Giant Thorny Flower
The only fortunate thing is that this Spirit Plant/Magic Beast is only in the 2nd cycle. While Rezen cannot defeat it, he wouldn't be killed in one attack
If it was an entity at the 4th cycle and above, Rezen would be immediately saved by the Flower of Protection
If that happens, it wouldn't take long before the mages of the valley would come to his rescue and Rezen's trip to the Valley would be cut short and at the same time, he has to pay according to the market price of a single-use protective charm that could protect the user from the attacks with strength at the 2nd cycle
With Rezen's current financial circumstances, he could not easily pay for something like that. As such, he was trying to desperately run from this unfriendly entity
Rezen waved his hand and the flowers on the ground were forcefully uprooted by him
The flowers danced around, obstructing the senses of the Giant Thorny Flower. If this entity relies on physical eyes to see then the flowers would obstruct it. The same was true if it could see using a means that depends on sensing mana since the flowers have some of Rezen's mana
Seems like Rezen succeeded and the Giant Thorny Flower cannot see him anymore. As such, it opted into attacking everything on sight
The thorns on its tentacles flew out in all directions and they are by no means slow
"Shit!" Rezen cursed and he hurriedly pointed his magic wand at the ground
The ground immediately rose and formed a wall to protect Rezen
Knowing that the enemy is a cycle higher than him, Rezen also formed a magic circle on his feet
"[Borg!]" he casts the only magic spell he knows (Zone of Blasphemy not included) and a translucent barrier forms around him
Since the difficulty of learning and using [Borg] is only slightly higher compared to using simple magic, even Rezen was able to learn it
