BXBX NOVEL 108 Chapter 108
Rezen started thinking about whether he should try to advance his rank right this instance or make some money using Maze. But in the end, his impatience won
He can’t wait to increase his power again!
Fortunately, Rezen was prepared for his advancement. The system shows that he has 13 mystic gems in total but the truth is, it was double that number
Rezen has 26 mystic gems, two gems for each type!
He was only waiting for the time that he could plant quality 4 spirit plants
He upgraded the farm yesterday night and he also planted the basic spirit plants that are needed to cultivate
Speaking of it, the price of the seeds rose greatly. Even just the vismian grass alone already costs 50,000 mana stones per seed. That’s way higher than the original x10 increase in price!
As he already decided to increase his rank first, Rezen went to the part of his farm where the vismian grasses are planted
Since the quality 4 ones are expensive, Rezen doesn’t have many of them. Fortunately, a single seed still grew into ten blades of grass
“Oh, right, system, how is my absorption talent?” Rezen asks
He redeemed quite a number of blessings in the past and even with the low chance of upgrading his talent, it should still increase substantially, right?
[The Host can absorb 21% of the Spirit Plants’ effects]
A whopping 21% percent! That is certainly a huge increase!
Granted, Rezen’s talent still falls under the Inferior grade but that is like a 2000% increase in talent!.
That would save Rezen a lot of resources and in the future, his talent would be better
“Hehehe…” Rezen grinned happily as he plucked the quality 4 vismian grass and placed them inside a basket
When he judged that it was enough, Rezen then moved to the second type of spirit plant which would increase his soul’s quality
Rezen now has a variety of spirit plants that can refine his soul but he still chose to use the soul-tearing peas
“It’s definitely not because I like the side effects of these peas. After all, I am not a masochist” Rezen convinced himself while plucking the peas
If the vismian grass seed costs 50,000 mana stones then the soul-tearing peas on the other hand cost 60,000 mana stones
Rezen also decided to harvest the rainbow clementines though they aren’t really needed for his advancement. The rainbow clementine seeds are even more expensive at 80,000 mana stones per seed
——
After Rezen harvested the required materials for his ‘ascension’, he went back inside his bedroom and sat on his bed
In front of him was the large basket filled with Spirit Plants along with a bed table with a golden blender and three tall glasses
“Hmm…” Rezen hummed as he grabbed the blades of vismian grasses and placed them inside the blender
Rezen pressed the button and the Spirit Plants Essence Condenser did its work of turning the grass into a… well, a smoothie-like substance
“I think adding some sugar would make it taste better” Rezen muttered and he decided to add the sugar from his processed sugar cane
After that, Rezen poured the blender’s content inside one of the tall drinking glass
“Sigh… this blender is really efficient. Once poured, none of its content would stick inside” Rezen muttered
Unlike the ordinary blenders that people constantly have to clean after every use, Rezen’s Spirit Plants Essence Condenser doesn’t have such a hassle
After the vismian grass was done, Rezen then added the soul-tearing peas followed by the rainbow clementines, making sure to add sugar to them
“Time for a breakthrough!”
ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ When the preparation is done, Rezen called out his two sun-type mystic gems. They floated in front of him as if they were eager to fuse with each other
Rezen grabbed the glass that contained the condensed essence of soul-tearing peas before drinking it
“KYAAAAA~”
An unimaginable pain instantly assaulted Rezen’s senses. His whole body trembled and his eyes almost rolled at the back of his head
His moan was very loud and even he didn’t expect that he could moan that loudly
His soul was assaulted by pain but not the kind of pain that would make people want to die
It was a pain that touched something inside of Rezen, awakening a desire he doesn’t know he has
The pain instead of being ‘painful’ was a pleasurable type of pain as if your boyfriend or girlfriend just spanked you in the ass
One pea alone already has a significant effect what more if the essence of more than one pea were condensed?
Rezen felt like he would die from both pain and pleasure
“Huff… huff… that was dangerous…” Rezen mumbled after the pleasurable pain sensation subsided
That pain was too much but Rezen also has the urge to harvest some more peas for his consumption
“I promise that this is the last time I will use the peas to refine my soul. I have other options after all” He vowed but deep inside him, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to keep his promise
Refining the soul should be a long and lengthy process but Rezen did it in one sitting
With his soul already at the same level as the soul of 4th fusion rank mages, he can now attempt to fuse two 3rd fusion rank mystic gems
Rezen focused on his mystic gems and ordered them to start the fusion. Just like the other times, the fusion itself is easy. The hard part comes with stabilizing the gems and preventing them from exploding
Rezen condensed a yellow magic circle that he used to stabilize the mystic gems. His comprehension of the power of the sun was poured out by him as he prevent the mystic gem that is on the brink of explosion from exploding
It was definitely a simple process on his part considering that he already learned a sun-type spell at the 4th rank
His advancement was simply a breeze compared to most mages and his mystic gem evolved
It retains the same appearance but it definitely wasn’t the same as before
It’s like Rezen’s mystic gems prior to his advancement is a rock but the mystic gem he has now is a beautiful and expensive jade
Rezen can feel that the power his mystic gem could provide to him reached a much higher level than before
Using a large-scale magic spell would now be possible. It isn’t as exaggerated as destroying an entire city but with his new power, he could definitely destroy a large part of it only using one attack
——-
Rezen drove his car to the city in a good mood. Ranking up has always been uplifting since that means that there are a lesser number of people that could hurt him
His destination today was none other than the Ceres Family and he drove his car to reach their mansion
“Hmm?”
While on his way, Rezen saw a familiar face that he almost didn’t recognize
“Isn’t that Neil?” Rezen thought while staring at his best friend that looks badly beaten
Even the man’s mage robe that he loves so much has holes in them
There is definitely something wrong with Neil and as his friend, Rezen definitely couldn’t just drive away after seeing it
As such, Rezen parked his car first before running toward his best friend
“Neil!” He called out and Neil unconsciously looked at the person calling his name
As soon as Neil saw Rezen, the former instantly broke into a sobbing mess
“Rezen huhuhuhu…”
At first, Rezen was running towards his friend but after seeing Neil’s snot, he retreated in disgust
A friend is a friend but if Rezen doesn’t do something, Neil would definitely hug him causing that man’s snot to be smeared on his clothes
“S-stop! Don’t come any closer!” Rezen said as a warning but Neil didn’t stop. He continued running but it seems like he was really badly beaten since he… he fell down the sidewalk face first
“Pff—” Rezen tried his best to stop laughing but he really can’t stop himself
After all, at least 70% of humans would unconsciously laugh after seeing someone that tripped, right?
Not to mention, Neil is Rezen’s friend which made this funnier
“D-damn… s-shit… I-I should stop but.. pfft!”
Rezen’s eyes teared up while trying to stop himself from laughing. It doesn’t help that the civilians around were also laughing
Fortunately for Neil, his friend still has some conscience and although Rezen’s chest was moving erratically from giggling, he still dragged Neil to a secluded alleyway
“S-speak pfft… I-I mean hahaha.. what happened to you?” Rezen asks and as soon as he did, Neil broke into a sobbing mess again
“My whole body hurts… I feel like I’m gonna die! Damn Greenwood Academy students! I wouldn’t forgive them ever!” Neil said angrily and Rezen as an act of good will slapped a recovery into his friend’s mouth to help him with his injuries
