Chapter 252: Secret Realm Sightseeing Ends
“So beautiful… such a perfect existence… what a pity…”
Sofili squatted in front of this so-called mother plant, sighing continuously, but in the end, it turned into a single sigh.
“A pity? What’s wrong?”
I asked curiously.
“I probably can’t transplant it to my plantation alive. This large outer shell was originally the constant cavity cocoon that maintained its growth and reproduction. The corrosive liquid that sprayed out just now was the constant liquid used to soak this mother plant. Look, its color has already started to turn yellow compared to just now, and the tools I brought can’t store it…”
“So it’s my fault for being reckless?”
“No, it’s not your fault. Even without you, we would have found a way to open this. If only we had done more howork before coming, there wouldn’t be so many regrets.”
Sofili shook her head and finally closed the book.
“At most, I can make so specins of it. Let’s just open it up and see if there are any other gains.”
“Mm.”
I nodded without any objection.
After all, I’m not a professional in this area.
Compared to specins, I was still more concerned about whether there were any goodies left by senior sisters from previous batches inside.
After all, with such a big setup, it couldn't be an accident, right?
“By the way, if this thing dies, will it affect this entire patch of Giant Corrosive Thorn Vines?”
At this mont, I thought of sothing and asked with so worry.
After all, I hadn’t forgotten that I had to pay for causing massive damage.
“This… it seems like nothing will happen. This is just the mother plant. Without it, the spreading speed of the Giant Corrosive Thorn Vines here will at most slow down. On the contrary, because they don't need to feed back to the mother plant, the Giant Corrosive Thorn Vines here might grow even more lushly.”
“Mm, then I have no more questions.”
I watched Sofili’s professional technique in handling the plant vines and couldn’t really help, so I just waited quietly.
“It’s almost done. The most valuable parts for research have been salvaged, but inside here… there’s really sothing!”
After Sofili sorted everything, she took out a bottle from the pile of materials.
The plant roots clinging to it seed as if they had grown on it, which showed how long this thing had been inside.
But I was also amazed at the quality of this bottle.
To remain intact in such a corrosive environnt and even under strong external pressure, what kind of divine manufacturing thod was this?
“Let see what’s inside. It feels like there’s a lot of stuff inside, it should be sothing very precious.”
Cheng Yu took the bottle, tried to pull it open for a while, and only managed to open it with the help of her Yanyan.
“Thanks Yanyan. You’re the best.”
Cheng Yu praised the big bear beside her, caressing it.
Only then did she take out the contents of the bottle.
After pouring out the contents, inside were all parchnts with densely packed text.
“Can you tell what it is?”
I asked with concern.
“Uh… it doesn’t seem to be a potion recipe… these few pages don’t seem to be…”
At this mont, Cheng Yu’s brow furrowed deeply.
One could imagine she really couldn’t understand these things.
“Let see…”
Sofili took the parchnts and brought them closer to her face.
I could see her expression becoming wonderful after reading for a while.
“This is a potion recipe, but not a recipe in the usual standard format. It’s an experintal record, with complete potion ratios and precautions! Also… the failure cases and failure summaries at the back. Although it doesn’t look as concise and clear as a recipe, its value is much greater than a recipe!”
After Sofili finished reading the beginning, her gaze swept to the content below, and she spoke excitedly.
“Sorry… I’m a bit excited. Um, this potion recipe seems to be a potion that uses this Giant Corrosive Thorn Vine and its products as the main ingredients… Classmate Yuehan, this is very important to , I’ll go back and scrape together the money…”
“Wait, I said I needed to make a copy. There’s no need for you to monopolize it, right?”
I interrupted Sofili.
“Oh, right, right, that’s right. I was too nervous, sorry, it should indeed be like this.”
Sofili quickly reacted, realized her foolishness, and imdiately couldn’t even lift her head.
“It’s fine, I’ll just take a photo with my phone to record it. Anyway, we should leave this place first. It’s best not to stay here for too long. Don’t we still have to go to the area with the Dark Thorn Grass?”
“Right, that’s true.”
Cheng Yu also nodded, agreeing to leave first.
After all, this was the only path here.
If soone ca along this way, conflicts might inevitably arise.
When we left, we chose another path, and I directly took a picture of this recipe.
No matter what, it was a good thing left by a senior sister from a previous batch.
If worse cos to worst, I could exchange it for so good things.
Continuing forward, the territory of the Dark Thorn Grass was adjacent to that of the Giant Corrosive Thorn Vine.
Unlike here where the Giant Corrosive Thorn Vine was almost playing the trees to death, the Dark Thorn Grass area was much more lush.
From below, you could barely see any light filtering through from above.
And the light refraction from the leaves here was also very problematic.
Walking here really gave one a gloomy feeling.
“The Dark Thorn Grass is not quite the sa as the Giant Corrosive Thorn Vine. There aren’t as many of these things as the Giant Corrosive Thorn Vine, but it is definitely the top predator here. It can be anywhere… Wahh!”
Sofili was introducing it to us as she walked forward.
Perhaps it was because of the shield I had put on her, I felt she wasn’t as cautious as before.
So before she could finish, a vine shot out and directly hit the energy shield.
“Scared to death! I didn’t expect to encounter Thorn Grass so soon!”
After recovering, Sofili directly took out a bottle of potion and threw it towards the source.
Then a sound of corrosion and vines hitting the grass was heard.
“Wait, didn’t you say you wanted to collect Dark Thorn Grass? Doesn’t this just get rid of the grass?”
I asked.
“This is Thorn Grass. Dark Thorn Grass is a variant of this type of Thorn Grass. The environnt here is special, so the probability of this variant appearing is very high. The one just now was obviously not.”
“Is that so…”
I nodded and said no more.
It seed that one still needed to be vigilant at all tis here, otherwise, without a shield, one could get injured at any ti.
After a long search, we finally found such a mutated sample.
And by now, it was noon.
If we were to go back, even the nearest teleportation formation would be a long walk away, so we rested directly in a relatively safe place.
“Today’s harvest is bigger than expected, and it was also smoother than expected.”
Cheng Yu sat on a large rock, and her good partner, the big bear Yanyan, also sat down in the sa way, looking a bit clumsy.
However, it was looking around, vigilant for any danger.
And we directly started a fire here to heat food.
“Anyway, thank you, Yuehan. If it weren’t for your protective spell, we would probably have returned seriously injured again this ti.”
“Looks like I have to find a way to get a protective spell too. Don’t say it, it’s really effective.”
“Mm, it is indeed very good. By the way, you guys often co to the secret realms, haven’t you ever thought of using a protective spell?”
I asked curiously.
“We have, we really have, but how are spellbooks so easy to obtain? The effect of a lesser spellbook is a bit lacking. I have a lesser spellbook shield too, but the effect is just unsatisfactory.”
Cheng Yu said, shaking her head.
“Is that so, a bit unexpected… I thought…”
I raised my eyebrows, a little surprised.
I thought basic consumption spellbooks were already rampant in the academy.
I didn't expect that it was a bit difficult for them to even get a protective spellbook?
Or was this the truth for ordinary students of the Witch Academy, and I was just a lucky person, who had even detached myself from this group?
“Of course, without strength, you can’t get resources. Without resources, you can’t get spellbooks. It’s a vicious cycle… I should have been more serious in the past few years.”
Cheng Yu complained, looking at with envy.
Obviously, the ans I had shown now did make her a little envious.
“It’s okay, I can just support you.”
Sofili said at this mont.
“I don’t accept being kept! Give a chance to try harder. If I really can’t make it, then you can keep …”
“Excuse for asking, what is… the relationship between you two?”
I frowned and leaned back slightly, asking.
Are you going to feed dog food?
“We’re like a couple that hasn’t started dating yet…”
Sofili said in a small voice with her head down.
“Don’t listen to her nonsense, we’re just roommates.”
Cheng Yu corrected.
“Oh, I think I get it.”
I looked at them with a aningful smile.
Girls in the ambiguous phase, right?
Look at this damned Witch Academy, it has already forced girls to have improper relationships with each other!
But… actually, I’m not against this kind of relationship between girls, and I’m happy to see it happen.
After all, from the mont we beco witches, there is only one path we can take, which is to beco a Transcendent Witch.
Otherwise, we don’t even have the ability to bear the next generation, so whether our partner is a man or a woman is not that important anymore.
By now it was noon.
I hadn't brought anything to eat; the food was shared with by them.
They had already prepared to stay for a whole day or two.
After all, with storage equipnt, all those complicated and heavy things could be put inside.
“By the way, we’ve actually collected almost everything. Our storage equipnt doesn’t have much space, and it was getting full just now. Why don’t we divide so of the spoils now?”
Cheng Yu suggested.
“I have no problem.”
I nodded.
If it weren’t for my joining, they probably wouldn’t have needed this step, but after all, I was an outsider, so so things always had to be divided clearly.
“Originally, we planned for a long battle. Now that we’ve finished early and the harvest is not bad, should we continue to explore other places after this rest or go back?”
Cheng Yu asked.
This was mainly to see my opinion.
They actually wanted to seize the opportunity to continue exploring.
After all, it was a place they could only co to once a month.
It was just a pity that their storage equipnt was full.
Before coming, they hadn’t expected that their harvest this ti would be so rich.
The specin of the Giant Corrosive Thorn Vine mother plant took up a large part of the space.
If they really went to explore a new area, they probably wouldn’t have any gains, and it would also waste the other party’s ti.
“Actually, I can leave first. This secret realm is quite different from what I imagined. If you still intend to continue exploring, you don’t have to consider .”
I pondered for a mont and said.
The things here were too different from what I had expected.
The harvest wasn’t that big, and the monsters weren’t that strong.
It was mainly all sorts of strange plants, so there wasn’t much trial value.
After being busy for a whole morning, it was ti to go back and summarize.
“Yuehan, are you going back? Then let’s go together. Actually, we’ve also gained a lot, and our storage equipnt is full. It’s a good ti to go back together, we can look out for each other.”
“Mm.”
I nodded and didn’t refute.
I could also see that they wanted to continue, but out of comprehensive consideration, they still went along with my intention.
Is this the right to lead that cos with strength?
“Regarding these materials, Classmate Yuehan, is there anything else you want to take? If not, I’ll convert them into Red Copper for you at a discounted price.”
“Mm… if these are converted into Red Copper, about how much would it be?”
I asked curiously.
After all, I really didn’t have any experience in this area.
“Mm… about a hundred and sothing.”
Cheng Yu calculated for a bit and then said.
“A hundred and sothing…”
I really had no concept of this price.
I didn’t even have any Red Copper; the lowest I had was Mithril.
These things didn’t have much value to .
“Is it too little?”
Cheng Yu asked with so worry, “This… actually isn’t that little… after all, it’s just the Carnivorous Forest secret realm. The things produced inside don’t have a high market price…”
“Maybe…”
After all, the entry fee for this secret realm was just one Red Copper coin.
This trip was a hundredfold return.
Anyone would be envious, right?
Unfortunately, I still seed to look down on it a bit.
“Forget it, I don’t need these. May I have so information related to the techniques of planting these spirit plants, magic plants, and exotic plants? Or recomnding so book titles would be fine too. I can go to the library to look for them.”
“Eh?”
Cheng Yu was also a little at a loss when she heard my request, not knowing what I was thinking.
“Yes, of course! I have a lot of planter’s notes here, many of which I compiled myself. Um, are you sure you don’t want any other remuneration?”
“Hmm? If you’re willing to provide it, I naturally don’t need it.”
I nodded and looked at Sofili.
I felt like my impression of her had changed again.
She was clearly a rich woman who owned an entire plantation, so why would she be so concerned about this point?
“Sorry, there have been so problems with the plantation recently, so finances are a bit tight… a hundred-plus Red Copper is also a considerable expense for us. By the way, I have those notes with . See which ones you want, I can give them to you directly.”
She seed to have seen through my thoughts and had to explain to .
Looking at Sofili and Cheng Yu like this, I also reacted.
Although Red Copper was at the bottom of the three currencies I knew, it was essentially still a transcendent material.
If asured in ordinary money, its price was actually very expensive, so the actual price of a hundred-plus Red Copper might be much more expensive than I had expected.
I just hadn’t adapted yet.
Having achieved transcendence, I earned more, and the level of my spending had also increased, but in reality, I still hadn’t earned that much, unless I was willing to lower myself back to my previous environnt.
But that was impossible.
I had already embarked on the path of transcendence, how could I be so willing to fall back?
In the end, I picked several of her notebooks.
Her handwritten characters were very elegant and neat, very clear to read.
Most of them were cultivation notes.
Maybe I could find so ti to record them in the mory Bookshelf spellbook to enrich my foundation.
We finally walked to the teleportation formation, and by now, noon had already passed.
“Um, to confirm one last ti, you really don’t need any other compensation?”
“Mm, I only want what I’m interested in.”
I said again.
I felt like she kept asking as if she was afraid I would be at a disadvantage, which was indeed a bit annoying.
“Alright then, can we add each other as friends after we get out? Um, if you need any materials or want to concoct potions, you can find . I’ll give you a ten… twenty percent discount, a twenty percent discount!”
“I appreciate the kind offer.”
I flipped through Sofili’s notebook.
If so of the content could be rembered, I wouldn’t need to let these things take up space in my mory Bookshelf.
“Then… see you again if fate allows.”
After coming out of the teleportation formation, I had gained a lot of understanding of the process of entering and exiting secret realms.
After adding them as friends, I left quickly.
“That was a really nice senior sister…”
Cheng Yu sighed as she watched my disappearing back.
“Sofili, say sothing, why aren’t you talking?”
“No… how is her na Yang Yuehan?”
“Huh? What Yang Yue… wait, what’s her na?”
