The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Moran sat on Zizi's shoulder, practicing over and over again using the Energy Conversion Technique to convert the energy in the Ferocious Rat Magic Crystal into elemental power, leaving all the work of traveling to Zizi.

I originally wanted to say that although Zizi is smart, it is too ignorant about many things, so I just gave Zizi a general direction to prevent it from going back to the wrong path, and then left the rest to it.

Given Zizi's personality, she certainly won't let any magical beasts she encounters go, and she'll probably have little chance of noticing other magical materials.

Moran planned to handle the gaps in the magic crystals himself, just keeping an eye on the surrounding magical plants and collecting them.

Even if it inevitably yields less than what she could gain from using the Wind Sensing Technique to explore a wide area, there's nothing she can do about it.

I was thinking that once she's mastered the energy conversion technique, she'll be able to process magic crystals while keeping an eye on her surroundings, which would be great.

As soon as I failed to deal with a magic crystal, I shifted my attention away from the magic crystal and found that the squeaking had stopped.

It crouched beside a large tree, staring at a blue-green flower in the distance.

After Moran recognized the flower, she gasped in shock, filled with lingering fear.

"Squeak?" Master, are you done? That flower is so strange, I've never seen it before. Master, do you want it?

"Yes! But don't go over there!" Moran said, "That's a Green Phantom, and it's in bloom. Its petals and pollen contain a rare psychoactive toxin!"

Green Phantom is a relatively rare and high-level magical plant with high value, but it is also very dangerous.

Thankfully, Zhizhi didn't approach rashly, but just watched from a distance. If she had gotten closer, she might have been poisoned without even realizing it.

Mental attacks are precisely Squeak's weakness.

Moran might also be infected.

Squeak wasn't surprised at all: "Squeak squeak squeak~"

"You knew it was poisonous?" Moran asked in surprise.

So it was a coincidence that Zizi didn't come closer?

Squeak asked in confusion, "Squeak? What is poison?"
"Then why don't you come closer?" Moran asked curiously.

"Squeak squeak squeak..." Squeak squeak gestured animatedly to explain.

"You think it's very precious, but it's not at its most precious yet. It's dangerous now, so we should wait?"

After Moran translated Zhizhi's words, she found it even stranger.

Ironically, its words, though ambiguous in meaning, were quite correct.

The value of Green Phantom lies not only in the fact that its flowers contain a potent psychoactive poison, but also in the fact that its fruit can enhance mental power.

This magical plant is most beneficial to human mages.

In the central part of the continent of Valen, they were almost driven to extinction by mages. It is said that they can only be found in the Witch Wilderness, the Elf Forest, and the Paradise Mountains.

On the human side, a single Green Ghost Fruit can fetch an astronomical price, and there's never a market for it.

So it is true that it is precious. The most precious time is when it bears fruit after the flowering period, and the most dangerous time is now when it is in the flowering period.

As mentioned earlier, Zizi had never seen a green ghost.

I've never seen anyone make such an accurate judgment about seeking advantage and avoiding harm.
When asked, Zizi couldn't give a clear answer, only saying it was a "feeling".

Moran put aside her doubts for the time being and went to dig up the green ghost plant.

Since the Book of Cards analyzed the Essence of Earth, she can now craft material cards for every stage of growth and every part of the plant she puts into the Book of Cards as material. Therefore, she no longer needs to wait for the Green Phantom to bear fruit before digging it up; she can still make {Green Phantom Fruit} by digging it up now.

With this card, her card magic will definitely wreak havoc on human mages!
As the largest group of spellcasters on the mainland, they deserve special "care"!
First, I used the Mind Control spell to create a mental defense, and then I used the Wind Wall spell to wrap myself up to prevent the green phantom pollen from flying in.

After making preparations, she walked towards the green phantom lily.

Once she was within the spell's range, she used Earth Till spell to dig up the green ghost plant along with the soil, then used Levitate spell to float up and send the Book of Cards over to swallow it.

Moran didn't forget to use a whirlwind spell to blow all the air away before returning to Zizi's side:
"Alright! Let's go in the other direction later!"

"Squeak!" Squeak responded, picked up Moran and put her in the crook of its neck, then continued walking in another direction.

Moran practiced the Energy Conversion Technique two or three times, wasting two or three low-level Ferocious Rat Magic Crystals, before Zizi's attention was drawn to something else.

This time, it was attracted by a large, protruding rock covered in moss by the stream.

Moran watched as it hammered the boulder with each punch, and even she couldn't figure out why.

When asked, Zizi replied, "Zizi zizi! There's a treasure hidden in the stone. Dig it out for your master!"
"A treasure?" Moran looked at the stone with doubt. "Isn't this just an ordinary stone?"

Squeak insisted: "Squeak!" Baby!
Moran used his gold-detecting technique to probe, and wow, there was a moonstone the size of a fist inside the stone!

This is no ordinary magic ore!

It contains the power of luck; it is a kind of stone of destiny!

It can be used with magical items that have a luck-changing effect.

Those with magical talents who possess the power of destiny are rare, and magical materials with destiny-related powers are even rarer.

This moonstone is more valuable than the green phantom quartz we just saw.

"Squeak! You don't actually have the bloodline of the legendary Treasure-Seeking Rat, do you? You've found two rare magical materials in such a short time!" Moran exclaimed in delight.

Squeaky blushes: "~()~"

Moran used mining techniques to extract the moonstone.

Squeak sensed something and immediately lowered her hands from the large rock. She looked at the rock, then at the "little rock" in Moran's hands: "Squeak? The baby's out?"

“Squeak, it’s easier for me to dig rocks with magic than for you. If we find any treasures hidden in rocks in the future, I can just come and dig them up,” Moran said.

Squeak nodded obediently.

This time, after Moran sat back on Zizi, she didn't rush to deal with the magic crystal, but instead observed Zizi's actions.

After observing without interfering with it for two or three days, Moran discovered that Zizi's exploration method was completely random, but as it walked, it could always find many things that could attract its attention.

Not to mention Warcraft, it's its own fighting spirit at play.

The key is that if there's a flower I've never seen before, a strangely shaped stone, or an unusually thick tree, I'll run over to take a look.

Moreover, it's not something you see first; sometimes it's quite far away, and as you walk, it suddenly turns and goes straight there.

It was as if something was guiding it.

Ironically, every time this happens, what's discovered isn't ordinary stuff; it's at least mid- to high-level magical materials. (End of Chapter)
