"Keep safe, brother Claude!" Rezen said while waving goodbye. His expression was that of worry

Claude nodded his head at him before he casts magic and had the winds carry him away

Rezen watched that handsome and kind man with anxiety. He just finished giving Claude some of his recovery pills along with some more mutated plants

The reason why Claude went to see him was for his recovery pills. When Claude was almost killed by the traitor General, Rezen saved him with the help of the recovery pill

Although Claude didn't inquire nor ask anything to Rezen after that, it doesn't mean that he had already forgotten about the pill

He just doesn't think that it was his business and for him, Rezen's fortune is something he should not mess with

However, the recovery pills were really miraculous. It was unlike any other elixir that Claude had tried before

The effects were great and it was even instantaneous

In case Claude gets injured while trying to save Shadow Dog and Rezen's subordinates, only the recovery pills could save his life

As such, he asked Rezen for some. Of course, not for free. Claude borrowed some money from Dominant Sky and promised to give Rezen more in the future

Although Rezen gave out quite a number of recovery pills, he still can't help but be worried

He doesn't want Claude to be caught or worse, die

It's just that Claude's mind was already set and even when Rezen tried to change his mind, it didn't work

"Sigh..." Rezen sighed deeply as he walked out of his mini cherry blossoms forest to the area of his farm that he uses to plant his crops

His mini-forest was where he and his subordinates stayed and the other areas were basically for planting

There are various things that one can plant and even until now, Rezen still plants many things for the first time

Some of them were still on his farm, ready to be harvested

One tree, in particular, is Rezen's target this time. This tree is a tea tree with golden leaves called the Gold Sage Tree

It's not a Spirit Plant but even if it's not, many people still like it because of its supposedly wonderful taste

In this world, they say that if a person doesn't like tea then they should try the Gold Sage Tea and they would start to find tea tasty and enjoyable

The tree was quite small, only around 3 meters in height, and Rezen observed the leaves, trying to find where the mutated leaves are which wasn't hard to do

Most of his mutated crops look exactly the same as normal aside from looking healthier than the ones that could be bought from the market

Some of them are different in appearance just like the metal potato. This time, the difference was that the normal Sage Tea leaves are gold in color while the mutated ones are also the same but are glowing

Rezen can't stop worrying about Claude and his subordinates. The only way to prevent his mind from overloading is to direct his mind to other things

Since his hobby is farming and checking out the fruits of his labor, it is what he decided to do

Rezen plucked one of the glowing leaves and he checked its system description

"[Name: Great Gold Sage Tea Leaf

Quality: Mutated

- A mutated tea leaf that could amplify another plant's effects. The amplification is inversely proportional to how effective the plant is]

"Hmm? Inversely proportional? Does that mean that the more effective a plant's effect is, the lesser the improvement and vice versa?" Rezen mumbled to himself in interest

It's not every day that he could see Spirit Plants or mutated plants that have this kind of effect

Rezen plucked some more leaves before he returned to his Mushroom Home

He sat on his small sofa while waving his hand at the table in front of him causing various kinds of Spirit Plants to pile up

Just for the sake of experience and having a large array of Spirit Plants, Rezen also planted ones that he could not use while thinking that they might come in handy in the future

With the Great Gold Sage Tea Leaves, he might finally put some of his spirit plants that are already 'rotting' in his storage to good use

"Black Buckweed... Seducing Rose... Crying Orchids... Eye-burning Orange... Mud Cabbage... Nah, I don't think these spirit plants would be useful even if their effects are enhanced... wait!"

Rezen's focus was caught by another tea leaf and it was the same as the Gold Sage Tea the only difference was that this one was a Spirit Plant

In this world, many things can be discovered. Both species can be the same. For example, cabbages. If it was a normal cabbage, it would only be used for consumption to satiate one's hunger

However, there are also cabbages that are Spirit Plants and they have different effects

There's the 'normal' and Spirit Plants' counterpart

From what Rezen can recall, the Spirit Plant Gold Sage Tea Leaf is used by mages to put their mental state at its peak when they are studying magic theories

In other words, it's like a brain supplement that would make 'studying' easier

Unfortunately, the tea's effects weren't that great. It offers some help but the help is not too good

Not to mention, if a person has no comprehension talent, using the tea is useless. Rezen is like that

He had already tried this tea in hopes that he won't have to solely rely on the Mysterious Peaches and Banana but the effect was negligible

It still feels like he is a kindergarten student that is trying to learn advanced calculus

But if the Spirit Plant; Gold Sage Tea is paired with the mutated Great Sage Tea... just how much would its effect improve?

Rezen immediately decided to try it out. He went to his indoor kitchen, grabbed a kettle to boil some water

However, his impatience acted up again and he decided to use magic to speed up the boiling process

As such, it took less than a minute before Rezen obtained hot water

He grabbed whatever cup he could grab before pouring some water in. Since Rezen's goal is to test the effects and not to enjoy the tea, he carelessly added the tea leaves both from the Spirit Plants and the Mutated version of Gold Sage Tea to the cup of water

Rezen thought that the water would also be gold in color but he... he wasn't disappointed. The clear water indeed turned gold in color

He removed the used tea leaves first before he drank it in one gulp even at the cost of burning his own tongue and throat

The pain caused by the tea's temperature was overshadowed by the taste. It was a bit sweet, mellow, and also has that minty effect

It was simply tasty not just in the physical sense but also spiritually

Rezen can feel his soul receiving some supplement and he felt like he has become way smarter than before

The effects were a bit too hard to describe but Rezen can feel that his brain was working way better than before

As such, he hurriedly grabbed some magic theories books he received from both Claude and Florine

Rezen started studying the magic theories. In the past, whenever he tried to study, it would simply be futile

It's not that he just has to persevere and he would understand things. It's the type of studying that no matter how much effort you put into it, everything would be useless

However, this time, things are completely different. The feeling of studying magic theories this time is different

Rezen can feel that as long as he focuses and he continues to study, he would grasp the knowledge

"The Sun... the giver of life and warmth. Without it, plants wouldn't grow. Get too near it and you'll burn, get too far from it and you'll freeze to death. But if you put yourself in the right amount of distance, it would sustain all life..." Rezen muttered as if he was hypnotized

His mind was completely diving into the mysteries of the sun, the first-ever mystic gem that he ever had

He can feel the mysteries of the sun uncovering in front of him. He is being enlightened the more he read

It was to the point that Rezen unconsciously called out his sun-type mystic gem. He had it float around him while it resonated with the natural laws as if it would help him understand the power of the sun

He was too deep in his enlightenment that Rezen started waving his hand while his eyes were glowing with a yellowish light

He started forming a magic circle that he had never created before

The combination of the two tea leaves was way better than Rezen had imagined. It gave him great enlightenment to the point that he was starting to create his own spell
