24: Chapter 24 Eating Lotus Seeds

Heterotypic man-eating flower magic plants are divided into three types. One is the camouflage-trap type man-eating flower with mimicry abilities, and this kind of man-eating flower magic plant is also the most common one.

Another is the ferocious predatory man-eating flower magic plant, its huge mouth filled with sharp fangs; once it discovers prey, it will take the initiative to attack and bite the prey.

The last one is the parasitic man-eating flower magic plant, which belongs to small magic plants and will appear in places where beast predation is active.

These man-eating flower magic plants are purely carnivorous magic plants, so feeding them meat can ensure their survival.

Ross has been busy in the underground laboratory of Professor Pulang these days.

Aggressive man-eating flower magic plants, magic moss magic plants that can gather natural elements, ... and so on

Only according to the dietary habits and characteristics of the magic plants can they be better fed.

From the peculiarities of these magic plants, the wonder and bizarreness in the Wizard World can be seen.

"Feed 200 catties of magic beast flesh and blood within a week to guarantee the growth of the man-eating flower..."

"Mana Moss needs to grow in a dark and humid environment, and the indoor humidity must be maintained above 80% for a long time..."

...

Within those five mu of magic fields belonging to Ross in the advanced plantation, the seeds of the Water Lily Magic Plant with the best quality selected by Ross have broken through the soil.

The Spell Model of the Hand of Vines has been mastered almost completely; this Spell Model modified by Professor Pulang has not only improved in terms of effects.

It has also been simplified a lot in the optimization of the model. For Ross, these days, research on this spell has reached a bottleneck.

This Hand of Vines bestowed by Professor Pulang can save Ross a lot of academy contribution points and magic stones at least.

The casting of this Hand of Vines requires the help of magic plants to complete. The consumption of mana largely depends on the magic plants, which means that Ross's own mana consumption will be much smaller.

It is just a bit troublesome to preserve this kind of magic plant.

Ross needs to prepare a spatial item that can accommodate magic plants.

A spatial ring is a bit extravagant for Ross. The price of a spatial ring is roughly around 1,000 magic stones, and its spatial size is also very large.

But he obviously cannot afford a spatial ring right now. After all, he is still planning to accumulate magic stones first to prepare for breaking through his realm.

In this case, some spatial pockets might suit him better.

The spatial size of a spatial pocket is relatively limited, but its advantage lies in being cheap, with a price of around 100 magic stones.

Buying a spatial pocket can basically accommodate small magic plants.

If it is a giant magic plant, then there is no way around it.

If the magic plant is too big, not only will it require more space, but the consumption for a wizard to brand the mental imprint of the magic plant will also increase.

For Ross, small magic plants are still better.

Branding spiritual power on the Water Lily Magic Plant, under the influence of mana, the magic plant will grow very rapidly.

It will grow into an adult magic plant form within 2 weeks.

At that time, Ross will need to prepare a spatial pocket.

Otherwise, he can only place the magic plant in the plantation, and outside the plantation, he will not be able to cast the spell Hand of Vines.

"Phew ~ Fortunately."

"Each Water Lily Magic Plant can harvest 2 to 3 lotus seedpods. Each seedpod basically reaches the fruiting limit, harvesting 462 lotus seeds."

"If each water lily lotus seed is sold to the shop, the price is around 0.5 magic stones."

"Because the water lily lotus seeds were well tended and blessed by mana microorganisms, the quality is quite good."

"Basically all of them can be used as seeds. If sold, the price will be a bit higher."

If this batch of lotus seeds is sold, it can sell for around two hundred and fifty magic stones.

Excluding the cost of the magic field and the seed cost, the profit of an ordinary Wizard Apprentice is around 50 magic stones.

Working hard and busy for a month, harvesting a profit of about fifty magic stones is already pretty good for a Wizard Apprentice.

If an ordinary Wizard Apprentice does not have Ross's methods, I am afraid it would be good enough not to suffer losses on their first time planting magic plants.

Ross does not plan to sell this batch of lotus seeds; he plans to keep them to continue planting himself.

He can save the magic stones for going to the shop to buy seeds, and he can keep 400 seeds for planting himself.

He will keep 62 water lily seeds for himself to eat and try out their taste and efficacy, to see if they can truly reduce the mental pressure of mana.

The fruits produced by magic plants generally cannot be eaten directly. A processing procedure is required before consumption.

First of all, the lotus seeds need to have their cores removed; the lotus seed core has a bitter taste and a cold nature. Soak them in clear water to wash away mucus and impurities. Stir-fry or steam them with a slow fire until the lotus seeds are thoroughly cooked. After completion, the astringent taste in the fruit will completely disappear.

The mana within the magic plant lotus seeds will also be released during these procedures. The mana is sorted out in this process, and wizards can use this mana.

Ross ate a lotus seed.

The interface displayed:

[Spiritual power increased by 0.01.]

[The toughness of spiritual power obtained a slight increase.]

Ross looked at the information displayed on the interface, nodded, and said, "As expected of a mana fruit produced by a magic plant; although the effect is a bit weak, its advantage lies in stability."

"Lotus seeds are only apprentice-grade mana fruits. Even if one eats a hundred or so, it is equivalent to increasing one point of spiritual power, which is equivalent to one-tenth the effect of a bottle of mana potion."

"No wonder most Wizard Apprentices still drink mana potions to enhance their spiritual power."

"If one relied on eating mana fruits to enhance spiritual power, how many would one have to eat?"

"It's just that it won't work in the later stages; the enhancement of spiritual power becomes increasingly difficult, and the enhancement of every single point of spiritual power is incomparably arduous."

At that time, Wizard Apprentices will rack their brains to enhance their spiritual power.

No matter how precious these mana fruits are, they cannot compare to the importance of enhancing spiritual power.

This is also the reason why the market for mana fruits still exists.

In fact, just like mana potions, eating too many of this type of mana fruit will reduce its effect.

It is best to eat them after a period of time to maintain the maximization of the effect.

This time interval is roughly about a month.

The effect of apprentice-grade mana fruits in enhancing spiritual power is roughly similar.

Therefore, some apprentices can also afford to consume them.

Of course, Ross does not need to go through such trouble.

He only needs to retain some for consumption after each season's harvest.

Since there can still be 62 mana lotus seeds remaining this time, consuming them can also enhance about 0.62 points of spiritual power.
