The three of them arrived at the core area of the orchard district and finally saw the rare magical plant.
Wrapped in constantly flickering arcs of lightning, a snow-white tea tree engraved with violet patterns stood proudly at the center of the orchard, radiating an overwhelming sense of grandeur.
"This is the result of my cultivation. It’s already growing vigorously."
Charlotte placed her hands on her hips proudly.
"I invested a lot of effort into it, but it was completely worth it."
"Let appraise it."
Feeling the imnse power contained within the tree, Phield pulled out The Book of True Knowledge and consud over half his mana to identify it.
Thunder-Patterned Snow Tea Tree
Second Tier, Lightning Attribute Magical Plant, Divine Chosen Creation
A unique magical plant created by a Divine Chosen. It possesses the ability to refine lightning-attributed mana, magic, and spiritual power. Long-term consumption gradually converts one’s mana into lightning-attributed mana.
"As expected, this is good stuff."
Overjoyed, Phield hugged both Divine Chosen.
"My lord, directly consuming magical plants is extrely wasteful. The best thod is combining them with other materials to refine potions and maximize the benefits."
"Exactly. Unfortunately, we don’t have an alchemist. A single lightning-attribute potion is worth three hundred gold coins."
Phield sighed regretfully.
There was simply no way a remote place like his territory could attract or even find an alchemist.
"By the way, Charlotte, I also brought back so herb seeds this ti. I’ll have to trouble you to cultivate them as well. We also need to expand the planting scale of Courtship Vine."
"Leave it to ."
"You’ve worked hard."
Phield gently pinched Charlotte’s cheek affectionately.
Courtship Vine was one of the ingredients for Vigor Elixir and was also considered a magical plant, though far less delicate and rare.
"So you’re planning to expand the production of that evil creation of yours? Honestly, how did you even co up with sothing like Vigor Elixir?"
Tisiana asked curiously.
"On the contrary, I might reduce Vigor Elixir production instead."
Phield shook his head helplessly.
"In the short term, Maple Leaf Territory isn’t suitable for further visits. Besides, Rosalia needs Courtship Vine. A lot of it."
"Eh?! Her desires are really that excessive?"
Both girls were shocked and simultaneously stepped backward.
"Lord Phield belongs to everyone. She can’t exploit you that much."
"Uh, Courtship Vine has no effect on Divine Chosen. She needs pure corruption energy to unlock her abilities."
After reaching the Third Tier, Rosalia’s divine power had beco as vast as an ocean. Simple slaughter was far too slow and inefficient as a thod of gathering energy.
She required magical plants, minerals, and divine artifacts with matching attributes to provide energy. Unlocking the corrupted dragon within her also demanded an astronomical amount of resources, not to ntion the Corrupted Greatsword Warriors.
"No wonder Divine Chosen require territorial support. Every single one of them is a money-devouring monster."
He had originally believed corrupted creatures required no territorial support at all. Clearly, that assumption had been completely wrong.
"So it’s this difficult..."
Tisiana sighed emotionally.
"Leave it to . Materials are only a matter of ti. Worst case scenario, we just go raiding again. Our territory may be poor, but my neighbors are incredibly wealthy."
When the neighbors stockpile grain, I stockpile weapons. The neighbors are my grain warehouse.
The only reason he had not robbed them earlier was because his combat strength had been insufficient.
"Huh? Didn’t you say we wouldn’t go to Maple Leaf Territory anymore?"
"We can go to Bull Territory instead. Besides, not doing business doesn’t an we can’t go plundering."
The next day, Phield prepared one hundred Courtship Vines and summoned Rosalia to conduct experints.
"Good morning, dear Phield."
Rosalia lazily greeted him. Her beautiful eyes shimred like rippling autumn water.
Taking out a beetle-shaped artifact, Rosalia explained,
"This was Acorn’s Second Tier divine artifact. If I continue using it, my Third Tier divine power will eventually cause it to explode."
One of the most frustrating things about ordinary divine artifacts was that they could only degrade, never evolve.
"I see. Maybe we should just feed it to you instead."
The artifact was useless to Ophelia anyway, so it would be better to let Rosalia consu it directly.
Phield first opened Rosalia’s status panel.
Na: Rosalia

Talent Two: Feast of the Gluttonous One
By devouring divine artifacts, permanent enhancents can be obtained. The enhancents possess an upper limit.
Talent Three: Incarnate Synergy Battle
Current Unlock Progress: 1%
The more Phield looked at it, the more satisfied he beca.
The new divine skill appeared simple on the surface, but its control immunity and siege capabilities made Rosalia even more tyrannical.
"Aside from lacking mobility, control, and tracking abilities, she’s practically the perfect war machine. No wonder she managed to fight two Imperial Guards at once."
But her weaknesses were equally obvious. The lack of mobility, control, and tracking ant she struggled to expand battlefield advantages.
If even one of those weaknesses were resolved, the two Imperial Guards from Wind Tour Territory would never have escaped alive.
"Let’s test Courtship Vine first. Also, are you absolutely sure your inheritance says you can consu magical plants?"
Phield had no desire to see Rosalia suffer from a stomachache.
"I can. As long as they’re corruption-type magical plants, I can consu them. But according to my inheritance, the most effective one is apparently a corruption plant called Gray Hibiscus."
"I’ll start searching for it. Sothing like that probably won’t appear on ordinary human markets."
After receiving the Courtship Vine, Rosalia sniffed it lightly before elegantly consuming it.
"I don’t really feel much."
Rosalia shrugged and continued chewing on the vines.
"Though my divine power recovery speed increased a tiny bit."
"That’s normal. Courtship Vine is only a First Tier magical plant, and among First Tier plants, its dicinal properties are extrely weak."
After Rosalia finished eating all one hundred Courtship Vines, she frowned slightly.
"It tastes awful. Far too bitter. And the amount of corrupted origin energy it provides is practically nonexistent. Though it’s decent for replenishing daily energy consumption."
Opening the panel again, Phield saw that Incarnate Synergy Battle was still sitting at 1%.
"What a sha. In that case, Courtship Vine can be excluded."
Phield took out a First Tier divine artifact.
"This is a bow we obtained as spoils earlier."
"Try absorbing it and see how much unlock progress it increases."
"But this is still a divine artifact. There’s really no need to waste this much money on ."
Rosalia looked deeply moved.
"Our current combat strength is already sufficient."
"Be obedient. If we’re doing this, we’re doing it perfectly. If a buff can be fully stacked, why wouldn’t we stack it? Besides, this artifact is almost useless to anyway."
"Okay."
Rosalia nodded sweetly. She drew the Greatsword of Gluttony and swung it through the air. Corruption energy gathered violently, tearing open a crack in space itself. From within ca the terrifying roar of the corrupted dragon.
The divine artifact was tossed inside, and imdiately afterward, the sound of tal being chewed apart echoed out with spine-chilling sharpness.
