Chapter 88 Goodbye Old Friend

The next day, the employees of the Reeves family brought a set of medium-quality seed screening equipment and a set of column-type single-substance separation equipment.

There was also a middle-aged man who was a second-class wizard apprentice. With a complicated expression, he moved an alchemy hut unique to Lilith’s hut to the side of Locke’s three-piece wooden house and the small botanical garden alchemy hut.

Locke inspected the alchemy hut and determined that this small to medium-sized plantation contained a one-hundred-acre magic field.

The magic field is a bit barren, with some over-cultivation and the soil tending to degrade due to over-development, but considering that this plantation has been rented for a long time, it is normal for this to happen.

After all, they are just renting it, so naturally they won’t cherish the botanical garden itself like the real owner.

However, this problem is easy to solve. By spreading a large amount of nutrient soil and nutrient solution inside the 100-acre magic field, the problem of soil magic degradation can be solved within a few days.

The only problem is that the cost is relatively expensive. The nutrient soil and nutrient solution needed for five acres of magic fields for half a year require one hundred magic stones. These one hundred acres may require two thousand magic stones.

That’s a huge number.

Of course, for now, I only need to open up a few dozen acres of magic fields, so I don’t need so many magic stones for the time being.

Locke pondered. “Purchasing Blood-Weeping Nightshade and Star Tears will cost 2,100 magic stones per month. Add to that the rental cost of the radiation cauldron, and it’ll cost another 500 magic stones per month.”

“Not to mention that there will definitely be more miscellaneous expenses in the future. When I learn advanced meditation methods in the future, I will definitely need to consume more expensive resources for the accompanying meditation methods.”

“In the world of a first-class wizard apprentice, it’s really hard to get anywhere without money.”

“Fortunately, I don’t need to rent the Concentration Monocle.” Locke thought, “In order to pass the Potion Master’s Assistant exam, I still need to buy a complete set of Potion Master’s Assistant-level equipment.”

“I need to go to the public classroom and spend another 500 magic stones to purchase the course on refining the Concentration Ointment.”

“After careful calculation, my monthly expenditure is approaching 3,000 magic stones, and it will definitely increase in the near future. As long as I want to continue to make progress, I will need to spend more magic stones.”

Locke’s current savings, after all the previous miscellaneous consumption, only had 2,800 magic stones left.

His main source of income is the five acres of Super Mandra Vine Magic Field, which earns him about a thousand magic stones every month.

The ten acres of iron wire grass that I recently established should be able to earn two thousand five hundred magic stones a month in the future.

All together it was three thousand five hundred magic stones, barely enough to break even, but this income could only barely sustain the current life and it was difficult to make any further progress.

Fortunately, because Super Mandrake Vine and Wiregrass are both revolutionary new varieties of magical plants, they are easy to sell.

The current output can just be consumed through Li Jin Secret Language, so the income is still relatively stable.

In the future, when the demand decreases, or when a wizard breaks his magic and obtains the seeds of the two magic plants and starts selling pirated copies, he should be able to develop more new varieties of magic plants.

So there is no need to worry about this issue.

After checking, Locke nodded to the middle-aged second-class wizard apprentice of the Reeves family. “Okay, I checked it.”

The second-class wizard apprentice bowed slightly to Locke. “Master Augustine, I will be leaving now.”

“The Reeves family will always be your friends.”

“Our family cherishes our friendship with you.”

Locke nodded, considering the other party’s efforts. “I understand.”

After everyone in the Reeves family had left, Locke walked into the small plantation again and began to inspect it carefully to make sure nothing had been done.

Then, Locke began to plan in his mind how to plant. First, he transplanted his ten acres of iron wire grass from his teacher’s botanical garden.

Secondly, I started thinking about my third ‘work’.

After all, only by expanding the scale of the plantation can you earn more magic stones, and it cannot be expanded at will.

If we expand indiscriminately, the output will be too much, and the wizard apprentices in the southeast corner will not be able to digest it, and they will not be able to sell it, which will be a very bad situation.

Fortunately, I have the ability to synthesize magic cubes, so I can constantly create new varieties of magic plants.

“We could study the Palm Fire Lotus,” Locke said thoughtfully. “The Palm Fire Lotus is only the size of a palm, a common low- to mid-level magical plant, but it complements many spells.”

“For example, the plant-based skills like [Fingertip Fire Breathing], [Minor Plant Flame Tongue], [Minor Plant Warming], and the most classic 0.5-ring [Scorched Earth Bomb]!”

Scorched Earth Bomb is a spell that many second-class wizard apprentices, as well as first-class wizard apprentices, learn.

This spell is very special. It exists as a supporting spell exclusively for the Palm Fire Lotus and is generally not used with other magic plants.

The energy level of this spell is very high, and it will create an explosion at the cost of a palm fire lotus.

The casting speed is very fast, almost no additional spells are needed, it can be almost instantaneous, the damage is sufficient, the activation is fast, and it is difficult to dodge. Therefore, it is the most popular trick model in the combat direction of plant wizards.

For a second-class wizard apprentice, it is enough to be used as a killer.

For first-class wizard apprentices, the palm fire lotus is relatively cheap for them, and it is also very useful as a means to consume opponents and test their abilities.

The purpose of this thing in the southeast corner is to stack magic bombs.

It’s relatively low-level and simple, but definitely useful.

Locke made up his mind. “A single Palm Fire Lotus costs only five magic stones. We’ll need at least a few hundred to test the formula.”

“It’s thousands of magic stones again, but it’s worth the money.”

“I can use the synthetically upgraded new variety of Palm Fire Lotus to participate in the White Wizard Association’s Breeder Competition. It can also serve as a trump card to better deal with possible assassinations by the Blood Curse Tribunal.”

Locke thought, “Besides, the Palm Fire Lotus is a magical flower. I’d better use the magic frequency cultivation method and hybrid cultivation method to cultivate the Palm Fire Lotus.”

“Wait a minute.” Locke’s eyes lit up. “If I use the Palm Fire Lotus, whose plant essence I’ve transformed using the Magic Resonance Cultivation Method, to synthesize it, will the synthetic item description of the resulting Palm Fire Lotus include the direction of synthesis that I’ve set, thus listing the optimal magic resonance frequency?”

“If this guess is correct, then I can solve the problem of my speed in learning the Magical Co-Frequency Cultivation Method.” Locke’s eyes were filled with passion. “My speed in learning the three major cultivation methods is not very fast, even with full resources.”

“After all, even if I used the Blood-Weeping Nightshade to improve my wizard talent level, it’s only level 4.”

“But if my idea works, then I can use the synthetic Rubik’s Cube to obtain the optimal magical resonance frequency of various synthetic plants. It’s like learning code by observing the coding ideas of top programmers every day.”

“My learning speed will increase dozens of times!”

“My learning speed in the Magic Resonance Cultivation Method is likely to surpass the three major cultivation methods.”

Locke determined the development direction of the third magic plant and walked out of this small and medium-sized botanical garden.

At the same time, he unexpectedly saw two third-class wizard apprentices standing outside his own alchemy huts.

He is also an old friend of mine.

Lauren and Pierre.

The two of them were standing at the edge of the wooden houses, looking a little timid and not daring to look up.

When the two saw Locke walk out of the house, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Locke asked doubtfully, “Lauren, Pierre, what do you two want to talk to me about? Why are you two still third-class wizard apprentices?”

The light that had just appeared in Pierre and Laun’s eyes disappeared in an instant.

Both of them had cracked expressions.
