Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Under the power of the Harvest Priest, the seeds quickly sprouted from the soil, and the green stems grew rapidly. The "illumination spell" also quickly took effect, and the entire sunflower, driven by the vitality, emitted a faint light from the moment it sprouted until its flowers and leaves took shape, illuminating a small area of ​​the dim bedroom.

Kurt discovered that the lighting was nowhere near as powerful as the original "lighting" spell. He tried to imbue the sunflower with some spiritual energy, and the sunflower instantly brightened after receiving the energy, illuminating most of the room.

The effect was still a little lacking, but it was enough... Afterwards, he tried not using gold as a medium. Kurt thought about improvement plans while recording the sunflower's various attributes.

For example, plant height, flower diameter, number of seeds, etc... In the past, in modern society, Kurt would probably have been driven crazy by these things, but after being enhanced by the "Watchmaker", he became very good at and used to these repetitive and precise operations, without getting annoyed, and almost never made mistakes, which was very helpful for scientific research.

Finally, Kurt collected all the seeds from the sunflower and preserved them. After activating "divine intervention" again to make the plant grow rapidly but no longer provide life force, he discovered that the sunflower stopped emitting light after it died.

Kurt then replanted the seeds he had just obtained into flowerpots, this time using three pots. He eventually discovered that the offspring of the cursed plants did not inherit the curse's effect…

If Mendel had had this ability back then, he wouldn't have had to fight the pea for eight years... Kurt shook his head, dutifully recorded the data, and tried the second and third generation seeds again. He discovered that the power of the talisman was not hidden in the invisible gene, but had really disappeared.

My idea is to cultivate "spell plants" that can reproduce. That way, even if the effects of the offspring are somewhat diminished, we can still mass-produce spells using only a small amount of blood. Kurt took out a bottle of Fors's blood and drank it all in one gulp. Then he looked at a potato; he wanted to try storing its spiritual energy and then try implanting other spells into it…

After spending the afternoon experimenting, Kurt obtained a pile of failed experimental data. He was once again struck by the Mushroom King's extraordinary talent, his unique thinking, and his rapid execution…

He treated it as accumulating research experience and was not discouraged. He planned to hand over the sunflower to the church tomorrow to see how many merits he could get in return. Lilith had taken such good care of him, so he should also make some contributions to the church.

He now has about £2400 left in church credits, £600 for the materials from last time, and £1000 as a reward from the Night Church for their previous gratitude...

As evening approached, after finishing his dinner, Kurt went to the garden.

The garden's iron flower trellis is planted with some irises and daffodils that Lori likes, as well as some spiritual materials that Kurt recently planted, such as Deep Sleep Flowers and other flowers that are also quite common in reality.

There was also an exquisite bird's nest with a white wind chime hanging above it. The nest was built by their father, Cole, but the parrot inside had left before Cole.

Kurt didn't see their gardener, Olivia. It seems she wasn't here today. He'll talk to her later.

Kurt took the opportunity to enjoy the flowers.

He walked to the iron flower stand, looked at the irises and daffodils that Lori liked, and then glanced at the Deep Sleeping Flowers he had planted. A gentle evening breeze blew by, and the wind chimes tinkled. He stood quietly for a while, feeling very at peace.

He suddenly remembered that afternoon in his past life when he went to the botanical garden with Deng Li. She loved plants and studied botany in college. That day, she happily ran around among the flowers, and Kurt followed behind, watching and taking notes.

"I also wish I could photosynthesize like a plant."

Her clear, crisp voice still echoed in my ears.

Suddenly recalling the past, Kurt stood in the garden for a long time, finally gave a self-deprecating laugh, shook his head, and slowly left the garden.

……

On Thursday afternoon, Kurt arrived wearing a beige high-necked dress with ruffles, her brown hair loosely curled, and her light blue eyes carrying a hint of languor.

Kurt also changed into a more formal outfit: a half-high silk hat, a double-breasted tailcoat, black trousers, a cane, and leather shoes.

Finally, led by Fors, Kurt went to the salon hosted by Viscount Grelint in the Queens.

……

Viscount Grelint at his luxurious villa in Backlund.

Following etiquette, Audrey, accompanied by her maid, placed her hand in the salon's master's, watching him give her a perfunctory kiss.

"Your beauty fills my salon with brilliance, the most dazzling jewel of Backlund." Viscount Grelint first offered a normal compliment, then quietly added, "The other two have arrived; they are both extraordinary individuals. The lady is a writer, and the gentleman is a watchmaker of some renown."

"Writer? Watchmaker?" Audrey asked casually, then watched the other person's reaction as if she were an audience member.

Viscount Grelint smiled, straightened his posture, and said:

"Let's talk about that author first. You should have read her work, especially 'Stormy Mountain Villa,' which has received widespread acclaim in the last two months."

"I really like this book, especially the character of Ms. Sissi," Audrey replied politely.

Although I haven't opened that book in a month... Audrey stuck out her tongue in her mind. Ever since she joined the Tarot Club, met the powerful Fool, and became a truly extraordinary person with the help of the mysterious "Lovers," she had leaned her interests toward mysticism and psychology, and lacked sufficient interest in other things.

"Ms. Fors is as calm and languid as the characters she creates; I think you'll definitely have a good impression of her."

As Viscount Grelint led Audrey towards the sofas in the living room, he continued with a smile:

"As for Mr. Kurt, he is the son of the great watchmaker Cole Bard and has inherited his father's superb skills."

As a qualified noblewoman, Audrey only needed a moment's thought to recall the character, and calmly replied:

"We have a clock that was custom-made by Mr. Bud, but unfortunately he passed away two years ago. I really want to meet his children."

Later, Viscount Grelint invited Audrey to play the piano. Audrey could tell from Viscount Grelint's body language that he wanted her to be a source of pride for him, and she declined, citing her declining skill level as the reason.

"Alright." Viscount Grelint nodded with some disappointment. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed a lady getting food at the long table and a tall gentleman already enjoying honey toast. "Audrey, those two are our special guests."

He said this deliberately to avoid offending the maid. Audrey looked up, and a ring set with a ruby ​​immediately caught her eye.
