I'm a mage, what's wrong with loving farming?

Chapter 148 148. The Flower That Produces "Magic Crystal"

Lord Gray Sand mentioned that the blood demon crystals produced by this big-mouthed demon flower have some hemostatic effect after being ground into powder.

It will also carry some of the magic of the devoured meat depending on the meat it devours.

Other than that it's useless.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so troubled by the rampant spread of these big-mouthed magic flowers, and would have to ask the lords to help him think of a way to digest them.

To him, this thing is useless and he can't even make potions with it.

He never mentioned that the blood demon crystals produced by the Big Mouth Demon Flower are alive. I don't know if he did not mention it on purpose or he really didn't know.

"Don't you even understand the products of your own territory?"

Croix waved his hand.

He immediately took a piece of Blood Demon Crystal in front of him. After carefully observing it through the Astral Body Imprinting Technique, he found that:

It turned out that there were extremely tiny insect-like creatures inside these crystals. Their appearance was almost exactly the same as the big-mouthed magic flower, but they were shrunk countless times.

They should be the "seeds" of the Big Mouth Demon Flower.

As soon as they were born, they opened their mouths wide and swallowed the surrounding blood demon crystals to provide for their own growth.

Their astral bodies are extremely stable, and look like a painting that has already been drawn and only needs to be colored.

The process of consuming magic power is the process of filling yourself up.

But there are so many of them, almost densely packed, and they are still competing for the nutrients inside. The final result is probably that they will all starve to death.

Unless there is magic power supplied from the outside.

And according to Cloya's observation, their structure seems to change according to the properties of the Blood Demon Crystal.

For example, now, the big-mouthed magic flower has turned blue because it swallowed the flesh of the blue-ringed octopus, and it looks like it is highly poisonous.

"Could it be that it can stop bleeding because it has the ability to continuously devour the same kind of magical beast or magical plant in the desert?"

"Wait, blue-ringed octopus."

You have to know that the blue-ringed octopus is extremely poisonous. The blue-ringed octopus in the magical world is even more poisonous. The toxin can easily kill...

"Hmm? Wait?" Kloya looked at the big-mouthed demon flowers with a puzzled expression: "Why aren't you dead?"

As far as he knew, the toxin of the blue-ringed octopus could also be effective against magic plants. The toxin containing magical power would quickly corrode the magic plants and prevent them from absorbing and circulating nutrients.

Not being able to absorb nutrients is like a human being being unable to breathe, and the human being will definitely die.

In the end, these big-mouthed magic flowers are still alive and well?

He directly grabbed a big-mouthed magic flower and carefully observed the latter's celestial body, and found that this guy's celestial body did not show any signs of damage.

Just a little tired.

"That's weird. How did you transform the toxins and meat of the blue-ringed octopus into blood demon crystals?"

Croix became more and more confused.

He simply told the sea dolphins to catch a lively blue-ringed octopus and feed it to the big-mouthed magic flower.

He watched the whole process without blinking.

Finally, it was discovered that during the process of swallowing, they secrete some mucus inside the digestive sac which is similar to the stomach bag.

There are seeds inside the mucus.

The mucus will decompose and wrap the magic power in the meat, forming blood magic crystals together with the seeds and then spit out.

These mucus can even isolate the magic of the blue-ringed octopus, ensuring that it will not affect the big-mouthed magic flower itself.

Very strong magic-blocking ability.

"Isn't this slime a natural magic solution?"

Kloya instantly realized the function of this mucus. It could contain the magic power and toxicity of the blue-ringed octopus, and could also transform it into a stable blood demon crystal and spit it out.

Can other magic powers also be made into magic crystals in this way?

Its seeds can even adapt to the magic of the blue-ringed octopus and change their own properties as the environment changes. What a super adaptation.

He squinted his eyes and stared at the big-mouthed magic flower, then took out some red hexagram flowers from the clock golem that had been in his pocket.

"Here, let's eat."

He threw the hexagram flowers in front of the Big Mouth Demon Flower, and the latter immediately feasted on these magical flowers.

Then it quickly spat out a number of scarlet blood demon crystals, which also contained scarlet seeds of small big-mouthed demon flowers.

"That's really possible, but you are not an elemental creature. How did you transform from an elemental magic plant into a plant with a physical existence?"

Kloya muttered to himself and injected power into the Blood Demon Crystal. The small big-mouthed magic flowers inside immediately devoured the power, then broke through the Blood Demon Crystals one by one and fell to the ground.

However, after they fell to the ground, they did not begin to grow as Cloya had imagined. Instead, they gradually withered and eventually died.

This scene made him even more confused.

"Does it require flesh and blood?"

After a brief thought, he ordered the sea dolphins to catch a big fish, throw it on the ground, and then repeat the previous steps.

This time, the seeds of the Big Mouth Magic Flower penetrated deeply into the flesh and blood of the big fish, devouring the flesh and blood madly, and soon new Big Mouth Magic Flowers grew out.

Just like when they were just born, they continue the process of growing flesh and blood, which is the process of filling themselves up.

After it is filled, it is completely formed and becomes a magic plant, shedding its elemental form.

They were small, at most the size of a palm, but they were able to leave the tattered body of the devil fish and move around using their roots to support themselves.

Croix, who had watched the entire scene, was thoughtful.

They devour flesh and blood from their elemental state to transform into physical entities.

It can also change its own magic power according to the magic power absorbed in the previous seed period - the new skin is no longer the purple-red color of the big-mouthed magic flowers sent by the Gray Sand Lord, but has turned into scarlet red.

There is clearly a burning smell of magma inside.

"As expected." Cloya narrowed his eyes.

Just as he thought, these big-mouthed magic flowers really needed flesh and blood. After being transformed, they used flesh and blood to fill themselves and became complete magic flowers.

However, there will still be some magical tendencies left in their bodies from the previous time they swallowed magic power. For example, these newly born big-mouthed magic flowers should be called "magma big-mouthed magic flowers".

"Then can't you keep the elemental form forever? If you can keep the elemental form forever, you should be able to spit out more refined magic crystals that will not be contaminated by blood and flesh."

He was thinking, if it would really be as he thought.

Then these big-mouthed flowers that devour magic power and spit out crystals can become stable magic crystal producers. You have to know that turning magic power into magic crystals requires very complicated means.

That is an advanced alchemical technique that can only be mastered by powerful forces. There is nowhere to buy it even if you want to.

Although Kloya's improved magic field method can also produce hexagram flowers, which can be regarded as an alternative magic crystal, its structure is actually not very stable.

It will continuously release magic power, just like an ice cube melting, and will gradually shrink until it disappears.

In order to preserve them, Kloya had to create a magic circle to prevent the magic power from evaporating and use it as a warehouse to store them.

Compared to the hexagram flowers, the blood demon crystals spit out by these big-mouthed demon flowers are quite special, and they will not leak magic power.

Kloya guessed that this situation probably originated from the fact that the Big Mouth Magic Flower wanted its seeds to grow safely, so the mucus had the ability to isolate the magic power from leaking.

Therefore, this method is perfect for making the "Big Mouth Magic Flower Version Magic Crystal".

The only problem is how to keep it pure.

"What kind of magic can work..."

"correct!"

Kloya's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered a seemingly useless magic called "Element Reconstruction".

Its effect is that a being that was originally in elemental form but became flesh and blood for some reason can be transformed back into elemental form.

To be honest, it's a pretty useless effect.

Because if a wizard wants to elementalize his own existence, he needs extreme control over magical power and a sixth-level magic called "Elemental Body".

The problem is that if you control the "elemental body", you can transform it at any time, and there is no need for "element reconstruction".

Therefore, after this kind of magic was developed, it was designed for those who are naturally eroded by elements and whose bodies have a tendency to become elemental.

Other than that, there is no applicable environment.

Generally speaking, this kind of magic is used by unscrupulous businessmen to make up the numbers, because it is indeed a fourth-level magic, which can be regarded as intermediate magic.

But if it is used on the Big Mouth Demon Flower...will it be effective?
The Big Mouth Demon Flower itself is an elemental form, but it absorbed flesh and blood to fill itself up during its growth and became its current appearance.

Is it possible to transform back into elemental form through this magic?

"You can try it."

Cloya has already figured out how to "persuade" the Big Mouth Flower.

For this kind of magic flower, devouring more meat and magic power, producing more seeds, and expanding the population are their lifelong dreams.

If the big-mouthed magic flower is in material form, it still needs to swallow water and meat to maintain its growth, but it does not need that in elemental form.

Although elemental magic plants have higher requirements for elemental magic power, they do not have so many demands on the surrounding environment. They can grow as long as there is enough elemental magic power.

Croa firmly grasped this point and gave it mental hints. Now that he has learned the symphony, he has become more proficient in controlling this kind of mental magic.

He described a bright prospect for the big-mouthed magic flowers: with him providing the magic power, they only needed to produce blood magic crystals continuously to expand their population.

But the prerequisite is... they need to be elementalized.

After the big-mouthed demon flowers "saw" the prospect described by Kloya, they immediately realized that -

"element!"

"Restore elementalization!"

"Help us!"

Croa immediately smiled, and immediately selected a lucky person and started to engrave.

[Engraving successful, Big Mouth Magic Flower (Elemental Reconstruction)]

[The current magic plant can transform material form into elemental form. ]

[In elemental form, the Big Mouth Magic Flower slime it produces will have pure elemental properties and can integrate all magic power. ]

[The magic power level and strength cannot exceed the current magic plant level. ]

[In elemental form, the magic plant seeds born from this magic plant can inherit "elemental reconstruction"]

"Ok?"

When Croix saw the last line, he narrowed his eyes. This... seemed to be the first time he saw someone who could inherit the engraving magic?
There have been so many magical plants and monsters before, but there has never been such a prompt.
