Because of the system’s description, Rezen is filled with doubt


    How can a spirit nt famous for its side effect of great pain be addictive?


    To clear his doubts, Rezen decided to try one soul-tearing pea. He swallowed the green pea and as soon as itnded on his stomach, his eyes widened as his body trembled


    The medicinal effect of the soul-tearing pea exploded and it nourishes Rezen’s soul


    The stronger the soul of the mage, the more and stronger mystic gems their elixir field could contain!


    However, from what Rezen knows, the elixir field can also be ‘upgraded’ independently


    The soul determines the highest quality of mystic gem a mage could have


    Mages with the soul at the peak of the 1st fusion rank can bear the pressure of two 1st fusion grade mystic gem


    If an elixir field is strengthened, it was possible for it to hold three or more mystic gems at the 1st fusion grade


    As such, the soul and elixir field is extremely important but of course, the soul is still a priority


    No matter how many mystic gems an elixir field could hold, if all of them were only just ungraded, they wouldn’t increase the strength of the mage that much


    The strength of the soul is needed to reach the next rank while the strength of the elixir field is a supplement that would increase and determine the power of mages at the same rank aside from their learned magic spells


    The soul-tearing pea only nourishes the soul and its side effect was making the consumer feel like their soul was being torn apart


    Rezen consumed one and indeed, the pea gave him a painful sensation. However, it was apletely different pain than he had expected


    After a moment, Rezen finally calmed down as he wiped the sweat from his forehead


    “S-shit, what was that? I feel like I can now understand why there are masochists in this world!” Rezen muttered with a lingering fear in his heart


    It was true that consuming the pea was painful but it was a kind of pain that the person would enjoy!


    No wonder! No wonder the system gave a warning about its addictive effect!


    After he calmed himself, Rezen took out another soul-tearing pea while justifying himself


    “This… this is for the sake of my cultivation and definitely not because I enjoyed the pain that this pea brought to me!”


    Rezen consumed another pea and his body trembled again as a loud and indecent moan escaped his lips


    “Sigh… these peas are dangerous” he muttered before deciding to head back inside his house


    As for the small trees that bore the pea pods? All of them already turned into ashes the moment when all the peas were harvested


    Just as Rezen is about to enter his house, an unexpected guess hase


    “Brother ude!” Rezen greeted joyfully. This virtuous soldier is still as dashing as before and Rezen aspired to be as cool as him


    “Hello” ude nodded his head and Rezen guided him inside


    “Do you want a drink or something?”


    “No, there is no need for that. I just came here to ask if you have more vismian grasses with the same quality as you sold to me”


    ude is still busy investigating the strangeness of the wolves in the Ratois Mountain and he went straight to the point


    “Yes!” Rezen answered positively. In fact, the number of vismian grass he has now was more than before!


    He has a total of a thousand des of them!


    From the 2,000 mana stones that ude gave to him, Rezen used half of them to buy seeds


    As for the remaining half, he stored them for the meantime so that in case he could really nt other spirit nts, he could use those mana stones to buy various seeds


    “That’s a relief. How many of them can you sell?”


    “I have a thousand des of them. Are you going to buy all of them?”


    ude was taken aback by that. Based on the size of Rezen’s home, he doesn’t look like someone from a rich family yet he actually has a thousand des of top-grade vismian grasses that allegedly have miraculous effects


    This further solidified ude’s theory that Rezen wanted to transact with him because the young man trusts him


    Rezen doesn’t want to be found out possessing many good things!


    As a soldier that vowed to protect all the citizens of the country, ude would definitely not trouble Rezen into spilling his secrets or something along that line


    “Yes, can I see them?”


    ude wanted to verify the ims of the new recruits and for that, he has to eat one of them


    “Certainly!” Rezen replied as he went to his room


    Fortunately, he bought more Tupperware while he was in the city. He used severalrge Tupperware to store a thousand des of vismian grasses that he nted and harvested today


    Rezen came out of his room carrying a tall stack of Tupperware and the side of ude’s face twitched


    Is this guy obsessed with Tupperware or something?


    Still, verifying the ims are more important and ude took the lid of one of the Tupperware to grab one de and consume it


    The quality 1 vismian grass is just like a drop of water to the ocean of mana that ude has but he could still verify its effects


    He was still having doubts earlier but after trying one grass, he now know that the new recruits were not lying


    These spirit nts were really that miraculous!


    If the new recruits consumed such treasures no doubt that it would expedite their cultivation to an extent that in return would let them guard and protect the country even sooner!


    “How is it, brother? I can supply and sell a constant stream of my crops!” Rezen said proudly, wanting to look cool in front of his idol


    “For real? Are you saying the truth?”


    “Of course! I don’t lie!”


    “If you can do that, I would treat it as a great favor!”


    “N-no need for that, brother. I-I’m also just a businessman”


    “Ah right, I have to be frank. I can buy as many vismian grasses that you could supply but can we lower the price? I cannot buy them at the same price that I bought them the first time”


    “It’s alright brother, for every thousand des, you can pay me… 1,800, no, 2,000 mana stones. Is that alright?”


    By the fact that Rezen only needed basically 1 mana stone for 1 de of grass and a few hours for nting, growing, and harvesting, earning a 100% profit margin is already not that bad


    In fact, Rezen felt ashamed as he is ‘scamming’ his idol but still, human greed is still the strongest thing in the world


    Rezen is in dire need of many magic stones!


    “T-that… aren’t you losing too much? After all, I bought 200 des for 2,000 mana stones before”


    “N-no, please don’t think that!”


    Please don’t think that as Rezen felt guiltier for tricking his idol!


    After several rounds of persuasion, Rezen was ‘forced’ (delighted) as ude increased the price to 2,500 mana stones for a thousand des


    After the transaction concluded, Rezen remembered something


    “Brother, actually I also have soul-tearing peas. I can guarantee the quality as all of them are also top-grade!”


    “Hmm, alright, how many will you sell?”


    Soul-tearing peas have strong side effects but many mages would still consume them and these mages are not necessarily poor


    They were just using the side effect of the pea not just to strengthen their soul but also to improve their willpower and pain tolerance


    “I can sell a hundred peas for now but in the future, the number would increase”


    ude is a man that is easy to talk with and in the end, they settled the price with 300 mana stones for the hundred peas


    It was slightly more expensive than the vismian grass


    Rezen sends the customer off, thinking that even his brother’s back looks cool. Just look at those broad shoulders!


    “Time for another farm work”


    Rezen is bothzy and diligent. He has a hobby of nting but at most, it would be nting flowers in flower pots one at a time and not hundreds at the same time!


    However, no matter howzy he felt, he still forced himself to diligently make holes in his farm again to ce the seeds


    This time, he has umted 2,800 mana stones with his transaction with ude and he still has almost a thousand prior to the transaction


    Rezen bought a hundred vismian grass seeds for 1,000 mana stones and also a hundred soul-tearing pea for 1,300 mana stones since each seed is pricier at 13 mana stones per seed


    This left Rezen with around 1,300 mana stones and he decided to ‘recharge’ for a blessing using a thousand mana stones


    [Ding! Consuming mana stones x1000]


    [Ding! Congrattions to the Host for obtaining lottery tickets x50 and blessing point x50. Current blessing points 51/100]


    Rezen almost coughed out blood. It was actually like this!


    Just like when absorbing magic beast corpses, the farm not only gives out blessing points but also lottery tickets!


    Rezen was utterly disappointed by this as he was looking forward to a blessing


    This felt like using tons of mana to recharge in a gotcha game just to end up obtainingmon characters or cards


    After all, the previous 120 lottery tickets that Rezen obtained only gave out 120 recovery pills


    It’s like the mysterious peach of before was only something like a beginner’s bonus


    Rezen already forgot how much heplimented the system earlier as he cursed it a thousand times in his mind


    With a heavy heart, Rezen ordered the system to use all the lottery tickets


    [Ding! Congrattions to the Host for obtaining recovery pills x49, rainbow clementine seed x1]


    Rezen was ready to receive 50 recovery pills and he didn’t expect that he would actually receive a seed


    “System, if this seed wouldn’t grow something that would benefit me… I don’t know what I would do but don’t trick me!” Rezen said to the system before he dug another hole to ce the rainbow clementine seed and covered it with soil


    After all the farm work, Rezen took a shower to clean himself as he doesn’t like getting sweaty and dirty… that sounded wrong again


    After washing up, Rezen returned to his bedroom and sat on his bed with a new mattress before taking out more soul-tearing peas


    He originally have 180 peas but he sold a hundred of them and the remaining peas are for his personal consumption


    Rezen swallowed the peas one by one and the sound of his loud moan rang inside his bedroom


    It was a good thing that he is in his farmhouse and not in the city. If not, the neighbors might think that he was doing something indecent


    The peas were strengthening Rezen’s soul and he soon don’t feel the pressure caused by his second mystic gem embryo anymore


    However, not experiencing the pressure is far from enough! Rezen has to have a soul strong enough to hold two mystic gems inside his elixir field!


    That goal also did not take long to finish as Rezen has enough resources to ‘upgrade’ his soul though the problem was the same as the vismian grasses, he can only absorb 2% of the effects of the peas


    Ungraded talent really is a talent not worth nourishing!


    Just the peas that Rezen consumed would already be enough for the soul of ten or more mages to reach the peak of the ungraded rank!


    If not for obtaining a system, Rezen definitely wouldn’t have enough resources to embark on the path of mages!


    After strengthening his soul to the peak of ungraded rank, Rezen now has a new dilemma


    After he fully condensed his embryo, what type of power should he bestow upon it?
