The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

"Is it possible that such good Earth Essence can't be used to make any other good cards besides {Material Card - Earth Essence}?" Moran was unwilling to accept this.

After much thought, she concluded that the problem lay with the Earth Spirit.

Its energy level is too high, and it's a consumable item. Using it on a card in a small space to grow some ordinary crops and common magical plants is a waste of its potential.

But truly precious plants, like breadfruit trees, have much more demanding growing conditions, some even involving laws, which cannot be easily replaced by simply mimicking the light source, air, and soil environment.

The guardian deans who were observing her movements:
"Why hasn't she left the underground area yet? Is she really planning to stay underground until the survival trial is over?"

"It looks like she's making cards. The Earth Essence she received from the main body should have given her more materials for card making!"

……

As they were talking, Moran slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "I know!"

He buried himself in designing the cards.

[Card Design: Space 1 Planting Pot Card]

[Estimated Cost: 1000 Mana]

[Expected Appearance: Appearance Template 1]

[Expected Function: A planting pot with sides of 50cm. When the planting pot materializes and is placed in a suitable environment, the plants planted within it will grow normally. When the planting pot returns to its card state, the plants inside will retain their current state. Maintaining the card state requires planting energy, which can be replenished periodically...]

After seeing the estimated cost, Moran let out a slight sigh of relief: "This card should be considered quite valuable!"

By utilizing the effect of spatial stillness rune combinations, combined with the nourishing ability of earth essence on plants, the plant's state is maintained.

Since there's no need to ensure the plants grow healthily or simulate a growth environment, the card production costs drop significantly.

Moreover, this way, any kind of plant can be accommodated, because the key to plant growth lies in the environment in which the planting pot is placed.

The only difference is that different plants consume varying amounts of Earth Essence energy to maintain their card state, but it's still more energy-efficient than simply keeping the plant growing.

For example, with breadfruit trees, you can get a breadfruit sapling and plant it in a planting pot.

When it transforms into a card, the sapling stops growing. Once she places the planting container in a suitable location for breadfruit trees, such as a witch's academy, the sapling will resume growing.

When encountering rare plants, anyone with a bit of planting ability would only want to harvest the plant's produce, rather than dig up the entire plant.
Everyone knows how to choose between a golden egg and a hen that lays golden eggs.

With a card like this, the problem of plants not surviving after being dug up can be solved.

There is enough time to prepare the growing environment for the plants before transplanting.

You can even plant them directly in pots, which solves the problem of not being able to take your plant assets with you when you move.

Putting everything else aside, Cassirf absolutely cannot refuse.

Moran created {Space Planting Pot Cards} in different sizes and numbers, and then put this series of cards on the card shop, only then did she feel that her trip was complete.

She put away the book of cards, rode her flying broom, and returned the way she came.

Then they chose an underground cave with an upward-sloping terrain, which, according to divination, was ordinary and without danger, and began digging upwards from its highest point.

While digging, he also practiced metalworking techniques using the mineral materials he had previously unearthed deep underground.

Vasita patted her belly with relief: "Which orange witch is this? She was quiet for just one day, and now she's feeding me stones again? If I find out, I'll definitely give her a {Super Trash Can Card} that lets her throw anything away!"

Moran dug down from the rock layer to the soil layer and paused for a moment. Her alchemy was on the verge of leveling up.

If we really dig to the surface, the complex environment outside might make it difficult to continue practicing the art of metalworking.

Fortunately, at the end of fourth grade, she obtained a spatial ring and stored a lot of emergency food in it.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stay underground without the food cards and ingredient cards in the deck.

He took the ore and repeatedly shaped it, gradually practicing by combining it with the knowledge of metalworking techniques in his mind, and finally reached the peak level.

She first tried it with a low-level magic gem.

In the past, the art of metallurgy could freely mold and combine ordinary metal ores.

It can even reach the point where you are in me and I am in you.

They can even mold alloys.

However, when it comes to magical ores, they cannot be kneaded as naturally as ordinary ores.

Because when kneading, the magical energy inside the ore cannot be connected, so at most only the surface can be adhered. From the perspective of magical energy, it is still two pieces of ore.

However, the pinnacle of metalworking possesses the ability to connect the magical energy within the ore while shaping it.

However, they must be magic ores of the same origin.

Even if the same type of ore is of the same quality, if they come from different sources, the magical energy inside will be different, and they cannot naturally merge into one.

Therefore, this technique is mostly used for repairing broken magical items.

Moran had only seen a few words about using it to salvage magical ores that had been eaten by the Mineral Demon Worms, and it was still just a guess.

The witch who wrote this book only used purification magic to extract the undigested magical ore from the mineral worms.

The mineral fragments she extracted at the time were not from the same source, so she was unable to personally test whether the gold-molding technique could effectively combine them.

However, she had tried artificially pulverized magical ore, and found that it could be restored using peak-level alchemy.

Therefore, it is still very feasible.

Although my gold-making skills are now at their peak, I still need to practice my technique for repairing magical gems before I dare to work on fragments of spatial magical gems.

Moran first took out a low-level earth magic gem, and then used the Air Blade Technique to cut the gem into pieces of varying sizes.

Then use the gold-plating technique to repair it.

When Moran used the gold-shaping technique this time, he clearly discovered that he could not only shape the gem on a material level, but also slightly affect its energy level.

However, it cannot be created out of thin air, nor can it be drastically altered; it can only guide the earth elemental power that originally existed in this gem to slowly merge together.

The earth-elemental magic gems were bound together into one, and the earth elemental power also fused together, restoring the gem to its natural magic gem form.

There's no problem using it for making magical items or for other purposes.

After practicing repairing several low-level magic gems, she used the Book of Cards to create several mid-level magic gem cards and practice repairing them one by one.

Only after she had mastered the skill of repairing broken intermediate-level magic gems did Moran take out the bag of space gem fragments. (End of Chapter)
