After a hearty battle, Richard continued to work. Although the area of the botanical garden could not be increased for the time being, Richard planned to plant magic plants on the land outside the Mage Tower. After the expansion, the range of the earth vein array expanded several times, and the range of the elemental land also expanded to the point where the surroundings of the Mage Tower were completely covered. Thanks to the genetic talent in Richard's blood, he did not like to plant lawns, but preferred to plant magic plants. At the same time, in order to strengthen the outer defense of the Mage Tower, he planned to plant some magic plants on the edge of the array. Richard's current magic plants were basically obtained by him after dozens of generations of induction in the laboratory. All of them were used to treat injuries and make money. There was no magic plant that could be used as a defensive guard, so it was necessary to induce mutation from seeds again. There are many types of magic plants suitable for defensive guards, among which bloody thorns and piranhas are the most common. Bloody thorns can grow into thorn bushes similar to walls, and all people or animals who want to pass through the thorns will be attacked. The bloody thorns will wrap around it and quickly absorb blood. It can suck the blood of an adult in one minute, and the corpse will be buried in the soil at the root as nutrients. The man-eating plant will swallow people or animals in one gulp, and the powerful digestive fluid inside it can even corrode steel. Of course, these magic plants are not just these functions. After swallowing enough prey, they will bear fruits, the fruits of blood thorns and man-eating plants. These two fruits contain strong vitality and can be used to make recovery potions or increase the lifespan of mortals by about five years (only once). Richard does not intend to arrange these dangerous magic plants on the outermost periphery. He plans to arrange magic mandrakes and pea shooters. The magic mandrake will emit a fragrance that will make people or animals hallucinate or comatose. The pea shooter is a magic plant he cultivated by combining several plants. It can spray projectiles with a power of about half that of a pistol, and these two plants are easy to grow. Of course, he will also plant bloody thorns and piranhas. At the same time, Richard is also preparing to cultivate bomb trees. This bomb tree is a plant in the tropical rainforest. Because the fruit will explode, after cultivation, these bomb trees can throw fruit bombs, and after the fruit explodes, there is also poison gas.
Bloody thorns and piranhas will be planted in the second layer of defense circle, and the outermost defense circle will be planted with magic mandrakes and magic vines. Bomb trees and pea shooters are planted behind bloody thorns and piranhas. In addition to these magic plants used for defense, Richard planted a large number of magic plants in the remaining areas. These magic plants are the raw materials for making Elf Tears skin care products. That's right, the great archmage, the master of the light of wisdom, the star wanderer, Richard, finally succumbed to money and planted all the raw material magic plants in the transformed elemental active land. After Richard bought the land again, the area of his manor villa has reached five acres. Except for the Mage Tower and some defensive magic plants, all the other land is used to grow the raw materials of the Elf Tears. The output of Elf Tears can be said to have increased by one-sixth at once. Even with the increase of one-sixth, the Elf Tears skin care products are still in short supply. It took a few days to complete the layout around the Mage Tower. Richard scanned it again with the system. As expected, the challenge level of the Mage Tower was raised to level 10. If you want to continue to increase the challenge level, you need to create a tower spirit and an iron golem. But whether it is making a tower spirit or an iron golem, soul crystals are needed. The tower spirit is a high-level soul construct, which requires at least a legendary soul crystal, while the iron golem requires an intermediate soul crystal. Ordinary people can only leave a small piece of soul crystal after death. Only those with strong strength or with a strong faith power condensed can obtain high-level soul crystals. In the world of Motera, arcanists who want to obtain high-level soul crystals mostly go to the lower planes or the plane of the dead. Only believers of the gods in the main material plane can produce some high-level soul crystals. However, according to the covenant signed by the Supreme Arcane Council Alliance and the gods of faith, no arcanist can rob the souls of the gods' believers. Richard was very envious of these high-level soul crystals, but the gods were very strict in this regard. For example, those believers who were devout enough would be taken away by the gods from other worlds as long as they died, and they would not give others a chance at all. The petitioners are related to the foundation of the gods. Even if the arcanists are envious, they can only go to the lower planes to find soul crystals. If you are confident enough, you can also kill the lich directly. Any lich will produce at least one legendary soul crystal. However, Richard is now on Blue Star. There are no believers of gods on Blue Star. Even the God in heaven has not appeared for hundreds of years. Even angels rarely appear. During this period of time, he has collected a lot of information about demon hunters. If the gates of heaven had not been closed, the Church would not have reduced its strength. You must know that the strength of the Church in the Middle Ages was not only to suppress werewolves, vampires, demons, and devils, but also to suppress pagans such as witches, wizards, and druids. Later, when the Church's strength weakened, it stopped targeting witches, wizards, and druids, and began to support demon hunters everywhere. Without the Church and the harvest of heaven, all the high-level soul crystals in this world belong to him. Although there has been a technological explosion in the past two hundred years, and the number of people with devout faith is much less than in the Middle Ages, the population base of this era is large. With a population base of more than six billion, no matter how low the proportion of devout believers is, multiplied by six billion, it will be an extremely exaggerated number. Moreover, Richard also got some news from the witch that there is a powerful creature called Ghost Rider in this world, which is a skeleton knight with flames burning all over his body. After learning this news, Richard knew that the souls of these Ghost Riders are at least at the level of high-level soul crystals, and may even be legendary.
In addition to Ghost Rider, Richard still remembers the Saint Vanganza Contract in the movie of his previous life. The contract contains the souls of a full three thousand devout believers, and these souls have been corrupted by trading with demons and can be said to be tortured. The souls that have gone through this kind of ordeal are basically all high-level soul crystals. With three thousand high-level soul crystals, Richard can form several iron golem legions. After receiving this news, he was determined to obtain the Saint Vanganza Contract.
