The longer the fortune manifestation shone its light on Rezen, the fainter its existence be. In time, it would definitely be unable to support its existence and the fortune aura would be for Rezen to utilize
However, every second that passed by, the closer Rezen was to insanity. Countless voice of murmurs rang inside his head and these voices were akin to knivesced with poison stabbing Rezen
It was the kind of pain that was hard to understand and visualize and only those that experienced it would realize just how painful it was
? It was an inhuman kind of pain and Rezen was on the brink of losing himself when from his stomach, a burst of green light spread and covered him from head to toe
The green light causes the pain to subside to the point that it was finally endurable and Rezen coughed while trying to catch his breath
He was still kneeling, his whole body was trembling and he felt like he would vomit everything he has inside of him
Fortunately, the fortune manifestation is not that strong and soon, its physical body became almostpletely transparent before it bursts into a colorful fog
The fog contain all the colors of a rainbow and the fog was only formless for a moment before it gathered at a single point, forming what looks like a seed
After enduring the fortune manifestation''s retaliation, the space of white started to crack as if it was unable to maintain its existence anymore
One crack after another appeared to the point that even Rezen''s physical body on this space cracked as if he was a piece of ss
Soon, the white space, the [Zone or sphemy] shattered and Rezen''s mind returned to reality
——
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" After Rezen''s spirit returned to his physical body in the Bellmond Valley, his knees immediately gave out
He started coughing hard and he was not able to stop the overflow of saliva in his mouth
The thing he just experienced was horrible beyond words. He would rather resist the fortune manifestation''s retaliation by fighting it with magic and not enduring it like that
Straight and directbat as with enough strength, you could overpower your opponent. But what just happened is a test on Rezen''s willpower and he only survived thanks to the farm
It took some time before Rezen recovered and he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead to stare at the floating seed that contained all the colors of a rainbow
"So this is the Fortune Seed..." Rezen muttered as he controlled the seed and had it enter his elixir field
The Fortune Seed contained all the fortune aura of the flower bud. While on the outside, the flower bud still looks the same as before, it is not a heavens'' blessed anymore
It had the chance to bloom into a rare treasure but now that its fortune aura was stolen, the chances of that happening are very low
"This should be a Treasure Flower. Once it bloomed, it would grow a great treasure. There are naturally urring magic wands that nature itself created. These wands are rare and often have useful abilities and Treasure Flower is one of the rare Spirit nts that grew such items"
"Too bad that with my strength as a 1st cycle Junior Mage, even if it blossomed into a powerful treasure, it might take me a long time before I could use it. It was better to plunder its fortune aura"
Rezen sighed at this. Who wouldn''t want to gain a rare treasure?
It''s just that even if he waits for the flower to blossom, the treasure might be something that he cannot use and once he showed it to other people, trouble woulde knocking on his doorstep
Stealing its fortune aura is still the best decision for Rezen''s current situation and while thinking of that, he closed his eyes and focused on his soul
Rezen''s soul that was inside his elixir field opened its eyes as it stood up. He stored the Fortune Seed inside the farm but it was not usable yet
The Fortune Seed simply condensed the fortune aura of the flower bud. It still has a connection with the Treasure Flower and the fortune aura could still help its owner
This seed is still a ''raw'' and ''unprocessed material'' that needed to be processed by the farm
Rezen chose the middle area of the farm as he walked to it using his soul. He dug a small hole and ced the Fortune Seed in the hole before covering it with the farm''s soil
As soon as he does that, the other Spirit nts that he grew on his farm suddenly wilted as if someone or something just sucked their lifeforce
Since those Spirit nts could easily be grown by Rezen as they are not rare and just the ingredients to make mana elixir, he didn''t feel any pain after seeing what happened<novelnext></novelnext>
The growth of the fortune seed is still more important and after it swallowed the life force of the nearby nts, it started to bud
"Ivy, how long would it take for the fortune seed to fully mature and be avable for utilization?" Rezen asked and Ivy loyally answered
"Twelve hours and in these hours, no other nt could grow inside the farm, Master"
At that, Rezen nodded his head. After twelve hours, Rezen would still be in the Bellmond Valley and he can use the fortune aura to benefit himself
Since there was no need for Rezen to grow other Spirit nts in the meantime, it was no problem for him to give these twelve hours to the fortune seed to bear its fruit. And Rezen nned on using his time to gather other Spirit nts from the Bellmond Valley
After Rezen''s mind returned to his physical body, he stared at the spatial pouch lent to him
"I should store the resources I found inside my elixir field and only take them out when I''m near the entrance. Even if anyone tried to rob me of my resources, they would only discover the dummies that I ced inside my spatial pouch"
It was great that when Rezen was robbed, he only collected several pieces of Bellmond Flowers
If he stored a rare Spirit nt inside his spatial pouch and the other foragers forced him to give everything he has, he might die from anger
No matter what the world is, there are people that rely on bullying others to get what they want
——-
Rezen continue traversing the Bellmond Valley as he waited for the fortune seed to bear fruit. He was not idle as he explored the Bellmond Valley
In this valley, all the resources are within the Junior Rank. It might have a high mana level but resources at Senior and Great Rank takes a longer time to grow
Bellmond Valley is a resource point that was regrly exploited and higher-ranking treasures don''t have the chance to grow
While resources at the Senior and Great Rank are more precious, it''s not like the city could just focus on them
Mages at that level are fewer in number while there are uncountable mages at the Junior Rank
If the city doesn''t have enough resources for the Junior Mages, no Senior and Great Mages might ever appear again
As such, while a ce could grow resources at the Senior and Great Rank, it doesn''t necessarily mean that they have them due to the time needed to grow such resources
But it''s because the Bellmond Valley only has Junior Rank resources that someone as weak as Rezen was given the forager job
Being a forager could make a person rich overnight if they found the right kind of treasure, this was especially so for the higher-ranking resource points. As such, how could the city management easily give a forager spot to anyone?
Not to mention, there are resources that have to be collected using special means that someone like Rezen cannot do!
However, in the meantime, Rezen''s current job is already enough for him as he casually strolled inside the valley
Ivy was a great help to him as it was easy to find and identify Spirit nts with its help
Rezen doesn''t have to waste time manually searching for these resources as Ivy could automatically do it
His harvest in just the span of a few hours was already quite plentiful. But of course, rare resources are rare for a reason
Even with Ivy''s searching capabilities, Rezen hasn''t found a treasure of heaven and earth that could turn him into a genius
At most, he found umon Spirit nts
While Rezen was walking, he suddenly halted and changed his direction as in his vision, Ivy found another Spirit nt and he immediately walked in its direction
Hidden amongst the sea of flowers was a weed-looking like Spirit nt
"Rego Weed, upon constant consumption could slightly increase a mage''s talent. I hope it has seeds that I can nt on my farm"
