A weekter


    Winter slowly but surely became harsher. More snow nketed thends and the temperature continue to drop


    The umted snow has be thicker to the point that the roof of some huts copses. The tribesmen have to regrly clear the snow on their roofs to keep their living spaces intact


    Almost 24/7 a day, the tribesmen burned firewood to generate enough heat for their survival. Many people die from the cold whenever winter arrived and no one wants to suffer the same fate


    Inside one of the huts in the Waterside Tribe, Rezen could be seen sitting on the ground in a meditative posture with his eyes close


    Outsiders would think that he was meditating and drawing the free mana in the atmosphere into his elixir field but that is not actually the case


    Rezen''s consciousness entered his elixir field and the ''eyes'' of his soul opened


    The soul of people generally has the same appearance as their physical bodies but are translucent blue in color


    Rezen''s soul was sitting on the central part of his elixir field where fog-like energies were stored which was his mana


    His soul stood up, he was actually able to control his soul to move but this was limited while his soul is inside his elixir field


    Rezen didn''t waste any time and his spirit body entered his farm that shrunk into the size of a coin yet the inside has a space of hundred meters in diameter


    From left to right, back to front, the circr piece ofnd was exactly 100 meters in diameter. The farm is currently filled with fully grown Spirit nts, making the farnd look like it was filled with vitality


    At its current size, Rezen could grow a hundred portions of the ingredients for the mana elixir


    Since the farm was nerfed, it needed a full 24 hours to grow Junior Grade 1st cycle Spirit nts unlike before where the nts could mature in a matter of hours


    Of course, this speed was still unbelievably fast. In the real world, it would take weeks or even months for such Spirit nts to fully mature but inside Rezen''s farm, a single day is enough


    While it was nerfed, the farm is still worthy of being called a cheat


    "Hmm, they still have over 90% purity" Rezen muttered as he stared at the patches of matured Spirit nts


    "The higher the purity of the Spirit nt, the harder it is to distill them. When ites to distilling practice, Spirit nts with low purity are still the best"


    "While this is a good thing as the lesser impurities potions have, the better, this is bad for my alchemy training. In the future, there might be times when I have to use normal ingredients to concoct potions of high quality. I have to be better at distilling Spirit nts"


    Rezen is facing a small problem. Many people especially alchemists desire to have Spirit nts with high purity percentage since the lesser the impurities of the ingredients, the easier it is to concoct potions with high purity percentage


    While potions are useful, they also have negative effects when consumed regrly. The more potions a mage consumed, the more impurities they umte


    A mage with a lot of impurities will have unstable mana and magic, and advancing in rank is also harder than usual. As such, mages would seek high-purity potions to umte as less impurities as possible


    For that to happen, an alchemist has to be talented at distilling Spirit nts but the best method is still to use ingredients with high purity percentage


    With the ingredients that Rezen has, he could easily make potions with over 90% purity and that is an extremely high purity percentage!


    The Spirit nts he normally found in the wild only have 40% or less purity percentage. This means that without distilling the Spirit nts, the potions he would create from them also have 40% or less purity percentage. That is too low and consuming them would cause the consumer to umte impurities faster than normal


    While Rezen is still in a small tribe that he nned on nourishing to be his weapon, he is still sure that in the future, he will enter bigger and more developed societies


    When that timees, having the identity of an alchemist would surely be beneficial for him. As such, he wanted to be a proper and experienced alchemist<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Ivy, is there a way for the farm to grow Spirit nts with a lesser purity percentage?" Rezen asked and motes of light suddenly appeared and condensed in front of him, forming the tiny body of Ivy which was seemingly the ''resident A.I'' of the farm


    "That is possible by using a lesser amount of energy to grow Spirit nts" Ivy answered before pointing its hand above


    Floating in the air is what looks like a battery icon of phones from Rezen''s previous world


    The battery is fully green in color and one could even read "100%" from it. This means that the farm is fully charged


    When growing a hundred portions of mana elixir ingredients, the farm would have to use all the energy it has except for the required energy to maintain its existence


    However, the farm could also recover the same amount of energy in a day. In short, Rezen could grow a hundred portions of ingredients a day and the farm''s energy recovery and consumption would break even


    However, it was best not to do that. That farm has a "self-growth function". Aside from relying on Rezen''s advancement and "offerings", the farm could also grow by using the energy it umted. The farm couldn''t do that when its energy recovery and consumption are at the same level


    It''s like some gym bros want to grow muscles but their energy intake is only enough to support their normal bodily function


    Fortunately, it''s not like Rezen could make a hundred mana elixirs per day. He doesn''t have the capacity to use all the ingredients in a single day and the farm could freely use the excess energy it absorbs from the universe using an unknown method to grow itself


    Of course, just like the meditation of mages, growth couldn''t happen in a single day. It takes time to notice considerable improvements in the farm


    Rezen didn''t expect that the farm could also use lesser energy to grow Spirit nts and that would lead to the growth of Spirits nts with a lower quality


    Then does this means that using more energy would make it possible for Spirit nts with an even higher purity percentage to be grown here?


    Rezen took note of this function and asked Ivy to use less energy and after he harvested twenty portions of ingredients, he rented the seeds he gathered


    Fortunately, although not all grown nts have seeds, there is still enough to regrow the harvested ones and Rezen was even able to store some seeds for future usage when his farm expands


    There is no special requirement when ites to nting the Spirit nts since the farm itself would do most of the work. Soon, Rezen''s consciousnesses returned to his physical body and from his elixir field, the twenty portions of ingredients came out


    "This made me feel like I''m that blue cat cartoon character" Rezen mused, thinking about a certain cartoon character that stored who knows how many items in the pouch on its stomach


    "I don''t know why the farm chose me considering mycking talent but I could only work hard to make up for what Icked. In the future, I might discover treasures that could increase my natural talent" Rezen muttered while staring at the piles of ingredients


    Whether it be in the path of a mage or an alchemist, Rezen found that hecks in the talent department


    He was able to reach his current rank fast because of the mysterious peaches and bananas but after bing a Junior Mage, he found out that his progress while only relying on his raw talent is painfully slow


    Even in the path of alchemy, Rezen is mediocre at best. He has to waste many ingredients before he could even seed once


    He doesn''t know why the farm chose someone like him or if it even has a choice in the first ce but currently, Rezen could only do his best


    Ivy gave him special recipes that could increase his talent but considering their effects, they are the type of elixirs that could be considered as the ones that are the hardest to concoct


    Since Rezen iscking in alchemy talent, he would make it up for it using an endless supply of resources!


    He doesn''t need to care how many ingredients he has to waste. All he has to care about is his progress and being better at creating elixirs


    Other people with talent might not have enough resources to practice. And while Rezen doesn''t have the talent that they have, he on the other hand has more than enough ingredients he could use


    If others could seed in one or two tries then Rezen will try tens or even hundreds of times!
