Chapter 11: 11

Human-Faced Flower

Cultivation secret room.

Gurney looked at his Passive Farming System while seated.

All along, the strength of Gurney’s mind had been refining and improving because of the negative drawback of the incomplete supernatural book Ring Explosion.

Gurney’s spells were all in passive farming slots.

As for Gurney himself, his origin pool was not opened yet. Meaning, he did not have an origin pool to hold his origin force.

Thus, Gurney’s origin force was stored in his physical body instead. The method that Gurney used to achieve this was an ancient type of “meditation”.

This meditation was not in the form of a book. It was only a method, and thus, it could not be placed in the passive farming slot.

When meditating and concentrating one’s mind, the person could use mental power to extract the origin force of the world and infuse it into their bodies. Through continuous extraction, the body would adapt to the origin force and become capable of storing a portion of it.

This method had low efficiency and was not as fast as cultivating using a book.

However, because of Gurney’s strong mind and tough body, and after laboriously cultivating this method for some time, Gurney managed to store up a sizable sum of origin force. Due to the high levels of his spells, Gurney would only need a very little bit of origin force to unleash relatively powerful spells, thus enabling him to sustain a long battle.

Nonetheless, this could not hide the fact that Gurney’s origin force was not high in quantity, yet now, this weakness was about to be resolved.

He could not get an origin pool opening method from Old Cohen, but he managed to get one from Teacher Ourock.

1: Bone Essence Potion Mantra.

2: Fire Arrow.

3: Ring Explosion.

4: Devotion Knight Breathing Style.

Gurney looked at the four books and took out Fire Arrow.

This Fire Arrow was just an ordinary spell, and after reaching level four, it was nearing its limit.

Next, Cybona Origin Pool was placed into the now vacant slot.

+6!

+6!

…

Experience was constantly being gained after this Cybona Origin Pool’s book was placed into the passive farming slot.

After the number +6 appeared several times, Gurney could feel that there was a slight flow of origin force gathering in his body. This body was also absorbing and digesting the origin force more quickly.

This speed of growth was simply too fast compared to meditation; one day of passive farming was akin to half a month of cultivation.

Furthermore, as Cybona Origin Pool’s level rose, the cultivation speed would get even faster.

If Gurney had a Transcendent body, then this Cybona Origin Pool would absorb the origin force while helping him to open the origin pool.

Gurney did not have a Transcendent body just yet.

Thus, the current Cybona Origin Pool was helping Gurney’s body absorb the origin force and store it throughout his body.

The system always adopted the most optimal method of cultivation. Gurney did not have to worry about any problems occurring with passive farming.

A week later, I will go and test how much my origin-force capacity has grown. It will also show me the effect of this Cybona Origin Pool,

Gurney thought to himself.

…

Gurney studied in the day and concocted potions at night, while passive farming all the time.

Soon, a week passed just like that.

Life was still simple, safe, and comfortable. This peaceful and calm state only existed on the surface.

Jade Orchid Steam Newspaper was constantly posting news of Transcendent murder cases, as well as the vile actions and crimes of cultists on the supernatural tablet.

Below, undercurrents surged fiercely, continuing to grow stronger…

What made Gurney happy was that Mersha had quickly adapted to her new environment. This saved Gurney a lot of effort in guiding and teaching her.

On the second day, when Mersha wore new clothes and appeared before Gurney, he almost failed to recognize her.

He was also shocked to find out that Mersha’s talent as a Pharmacist was quite high. In fact, she was likely to be even more talented than that young Sibol. Of course, a large portion of her talent was based on her “supernatural sense”.

“Maybe in the future, she will become an outstanding Shadower.” This was Gurney’s initial evaluation.

Compared to how fearful she was towards Gurney, it did not happen when she met Belle and Hawk.

The three of them soon got a lot closer.

Mersha’s arrival was a rare source of vitality and energy for the Potion-Alchemy Secret Room that had just lost Sibol.

In the Potion-Alchemy Secret Room.

Bubble, bubble…

Within the beaker, sticky red fluid was boiling.

From time to time, red bubbles would appear and pop on their own.

Gurney who stood beside the table took a look and nodded his head slightly.

The fire was well controlled. After the beaker was boiled for fifteen minutes, the fire was put out.

This liquid would become 32 bottles of the mid-tier “Rage Potion”.

After drinking it, even high-tier Transcendents, which was about tier five or six, and regardless of whether they were warriors or knights, would enter a berserk state.

In their berserk state, their reflexes, speed, and strength would rise sharply, but the cost was that after 20 minutes, they would enter a weakened state, lasting for about an hour.

In crucial moments, this potion could be used to save their lives.

Gurney had read in the newspaper that in the southern wilderness plain, many tribes would use enhancements similar to these rage potions when resisting the armies of the empire. Sometimes, the armies would lose many soldiers as a result.

Unlike the intense battles at the southern wilderness plain of Oasia Continent, the Jade Orchid Empire’s northern expedition did not face the resistance of many wilderness tribes. Instead, many people died while exploring the supernatural areas.

Gurney was still waiting for the potion to cool down when he heard footsteps on the stairs.

From the sound, he could tell that it was Mersha.

A moment later, Mersha appeared by the stairway, but she did not walk any closer to him, standing far away.

“Am I really that scary?” Gurney muttered to himself without turning around as he rubbed his chin. “Isn’t it just a stronger mind and slightly more powerful spells?”

“What’s the matter?” Gurney asked softly without turning to look at her.

This lass was very wary of him. If he showed excessive enthusiasm, her fear towards him would increase instead.

After hesitating for some time, Mersha mustered her courage. “Our teacher in charge of the supernatural lifeform class asked us to nurture some supernatural plants and observe them often. This way, it can train our perception and patience.”

Gurney turned around.

At the stairway, the twelve-year-old Mersha wore a flowery one-piece dress. Her short hair was clean, and her face was slightly thin. Her clear eyes still looked very warily at Gurney.

“Do you want me to go buy a supernatural plant with you?” Gurney asked in a calm tone.

“I have a classmate who gave me a human-faced flower seed.”

“Human-faced flower seed?” Gurney rubbed his fingers lightly. “So, you want to plant a human-faced flower?”

“Yes! But the book also says that human-faced flowers grow best when planted in winter. The best time will be when it is snowing.”

“Now is not that season yet, but if we use an ice-attribute potion and submerge the flower in it for a few days, we can plant the seed,” offered Gurney.

“Can I…?” Mersha looked at Gurney pleadingly.

“No problem. Come here tomorrow night. I will make the ice-attribute potion for you.”

“Thank you!” Mersha instantly smiled with a beautiful and cheerful expression.

The human-faced flower.

It was a rather common flower in the supernatural wilderness plain, but within the stamen of the flower, there was a life-like human face that looked extremely real; thus, it was called the human-faced flower.

These human-faced flowers often grew in a group, creating a sea of flowers.

Compared to the red bite man-eating flower that had some offensive traits, planting a human-faced flower was much less threatening and harmless.

However, when in the wild, between the red bite man-eating flower sea and the human-faced flower sea, one would pray that it was not a sea of human-faced flowers.

A sea of human-faced flowers would often have a terrifying existence, the human-faced flower king. This human-faced flower king was born with the ability to confuse, create illusions, and even manipulate souls and deep emotions.

When facing a human-faced flower king, one would fall deeply in love with it, becoming its puppet. One would willingly be enslaved by it, even exposing all of one’s knowledge and secrets to it.

Thankfully, just one flower was not a problem.

Hearing the footsteps of Mersha who was leaving, Gurney fell into deep contemplation.

“Human-faced flower, huh?” Gurney muttered.
