At the transaction site, in the spacious ruins, after confirming that the place had been completely emptied, the three began to walk out.
After a short walk, they returned to the deck.
A few days later.
"Chip, detect target reaction."
In the spacious room, standing silently in front of a large wooden table, looking at the things in front of him, Athir gave instructions to the chip in his mind.
On the wooden table in front of him, a transparent glass bottle was quietly placed there, filled with some emerald green liquid, emitting a unique fragrance.
And in the emerald green liquid, a golden rhizome of an unknown plant was quietly immersed in it, and it seemed to be slightly active.
"The target's activity loss rate begins to slow down..." The mechanical voice of the chip sounded again in my mind.
"...It seems to be successful."
Listening to the prompts from the chip in his mind, Athir breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the nourishment through the special plant nourishing potion is indeed effective. The rhizome that would have completely died within a few years should now be able to extend its life to about ten years through the special nourishment of the potion."
"Although this amount of time is still not long, it can at least give me some more time to see if I can save this golden nain tree."
Standing there, calming himself down, Athir muttered to himself.
For the other wizards, the Jinnain tree in front of them was completely beyond saving. It had lost its nourishment for a long time and had lost its main trunk. Conventional methods could not save it at all. It could only be revived by using precious resources such as the Water of Life to nourish it continuously.
But even in ancient times, the water of life was an extremely precious thing. In today's era, it has become completely extinct. Naturally, it is impossible to use it to nourish the Jinnain tree, which only has a little bit of vitality left.
But Athir is different.
He has the talent to travel through worlds, and as long as the conditions are met, he can go to other worlds.
There are resources that have become extinct in the wizarding world today, but it is not impossible to find similar ones in other worlds.
"Just treat it as an attempt. Even if it fails, there's no loss. It's just some nourishing liquid medicine."
Standing there, looking at the emerald green liquid in the glass bottle in front of him, Atier thought to himself.
In fact, the formula of this nourishing liquid medicine came from Edith. It originally only had the effect of supplementing plant nutrition and accelerating growth. It was not even a basic medicine, but only one of the auxiliary medicines. After being improved by Athir, the effect was greatly increased, and even high-level plants such as the Jinnain tree could play a certain nourishing role.
Standing there and observing the changes in the roots in front of him for a while, Athir took the glass bottle in front of him, carefully put it aside, and then walked to the bed.
Sitting quietly at the head of the bed, Athir took out a golden leaf from the side.
The golden leaves don't look big, but they are golden all over, as if they were made of gold, with a little light texture on them, making them look very mysterious and beautiful.
This is the leaf of the Kinnain tree. After obtaining it, Athir carefully kept it and has not taken it out until now.
Looking at the leaf in front of him, Athir bit it without hesitation.
A cool and sweet smell came out, with a refreshing fragrance.
"The subject is affected by an unknown active substance...the mental strength begins to grow..." The voice of the chip machine sounded again in my mind.
"According to the records, if you can enter a meditative state immediately after swallowing the leaves of the Kinnain tree, you will gain more benefits." Sitting on the head of the bed, thinking about the information about the Kinnain tree, this thought flashed through Athir's mind.
Thinking of this, his eyes began to close and he slowly entered a deep state of meditation.
The dark and deep spiritual sea began to emerge. As Athir entered into meditation, a golden force slowly merged into the center of the spiritual sea, seeming to produce some inexplicable influence.
Time passed slowly, and after more than ten minutes, Athir opened his eyes again.
"Name: Athir Fakus. Strength: 13.5. Agility: 14. Constitution: 14.4. Spirit: 8.3."
Before his eyes, the familiar body panel quietly emerged.
"Spiritual strength increased by 0.4, physical fitness increased by 0.2, and the rest of the data also increased to varying degrees."
Looking at his own body data and comparing it with the previous changes, Athir sighed: "Just one piece of Jinnain leaf has saved me at least a few months of meditation. Such a good effect, no wonder it is so precious."
A few months may not sound like a long time, but it is for Athir.
Athir himself is of the fourth-class qualification, and the effect of his meditation far exceeds that of apprentices of other qualifications. With the same meditation time, the effect is several times that of apprentices of the third-class qualification.
A piece of Jinnain leaf can save Athir several months of meditation time. If used on other apprentices with third-class qualifications, it can at least save one or two years of meditation time.
"The subject's body activity increases, and the lifespan limit begins to increase..." At this time, the mechanical voice of the chip in the mind sounded again.
"Does it also have the effect of increasing lifespan?"
Feeling the changes in his body and the prompts from the chip in his mind, Athir nodded, and then stood up silently.
He carefully placed the remaining three golden Kinnain leaves in a black box for safekeeping before walking out.
After opening the door, he walked straight into a room in the distance, where a figure with an iron crutch in his hand was already waiting.
"Athir, you are here."
Hearing the footsteps, Radel stood up, looked at Athir and greeted him.
"Is everything ready?"
Looking at Radel in front of him, Athir nodded and then spoke.
"Everything is almost ready." Listening to Athir's words, Radel stood in place and spoke.
A few days ago, they had agreed to trade something, but it was not ready until now.
"Let's get started."
Looking at the other person, Athir spoke while opening the package he brought, revealing several books inside.
"Basic blood science, and spell templates for blood coagulation."
After looking at the books in his hands, he looked at Radel opposite him and spoke.
On the other side, listening to Athir's words, Radel nodded and also took out some things he had brought.
"This is the basic knowledge involved in human body modification." Looking at Athir, he explained.
After each of them introduced themselves, they began to exchange, each taking what the other had brought out in front of them.
"The data has been collected..."
After casually flipping through the book in his hand, the mechanical sound of the chip in his mind rang again.
"Now that the deal is complete, I'll leave first."
After taking a quick glance at Radel in front of him, Atier said this and was about to turn around and leave.
"Lord Athir, please wait a moment..." Radel's voice came quickly from behind Athir.
Hearing the voice, Athir's steps paused slightly, and he turned around and looked behind him: "Is there anything else?"
In the room behind him, facing Athir's gaze, Radel showed a little bitter smile on his face: "Do you still have the Jinnain leaves in your hand? I want to exchange some with you."
Hearing this, Atier was stunned and a strange expression appeared on his face.
Seeing the expression on Athir's face, Radel felt helpless: "You know, I once tried to become a formal wizard, and all my vitality was burned away."
"In addition to increasing mental strength and physical constitution, the Jinnain leaf also has the effect of increasing vitality to a certain extent, which is very useful in my situation."
"You don't want to become a formal wizard again, do you?" Standing there, listening to Radel's words, Athir showed a strange expression on his face, and said to Radel in front of him.
"I have this idea."
Standing in front of Athir, Radel nodded directly: "Of course, the premise is that I can replenish the vitality I burned before, so that I can get another resource for the impact from my academy."
On the spot, after hearing this, Athir didn't say anything, but asked back: "Kladi also has Jinnailaye, why don't you go find him?"
"I approached him but was unable to reach a deal."
Radel shook his head and said meaningfully: "Clardy is almost forty years old."
Hearing this, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Athir's eyes.
It is common sense in the wizarding world that if an apprentice has not been promoted to a formal wizard after the age of forty, the possibility of promotion will become smaller and smaller.
This is because the process of becoming a formal wizard requires the burning of vitality, and the younger the apprentice, the stronger his vitality is, and naturally the greater the possibility of promotion.
Since Clardy is already close to 40 years old, it is inevitable that his promotion to a formal wizard will be affected. If he wants to be promoted to a formal wizard, he will also need something like Jinnain leaves to replenish his vitality, so it is naturally unlikely that he will sell them to Radel.
Only wizards like Athir who have reached the third-level apprenticeship at a young age may choose to trade.
Thinking of this, Athir asked, "How many gold leaves do you need?"
"Of course the more the better."
Standing in front of Athir, Radel said, "Although the Jinnain leaf can increase lifespan, its main effect is to improve mental strength and physical constitution. It is not very effective if it is only used to increase lifespan."
"My condition is quite serious. If I want to replenish the vitality that I burned, the more Kinnain leaves I have, the better."
"Okay." After listening to Radel's words, Athir nodded and said after thinking for a while: "Two pieces. I can only choose to trade two gold leaves."
"I've already used one of the four leaves I took before, so I can only take out two of the remaining three."
"Okay." Listening to Athir's words, Radel nodded and said nothing more.
