Chapter 2215 - Middle Layer I "If the map is right, then we would be able to reach the middle layer of the Garden after breaking this formation," Jim said while staring at the map and formation wall in front of us, which is filled with much denser formation than the other walls we have come across. It had been five days since we began harvesting the herb garden, and till now, we have harvested forty-nine fields, collecting the resources on a scale I had never done before. With this amount of resources, I could definitely be able to help the academy on a big scale and not help a select few. "Micheal, you have broken the formation, right?" Jim asked, "Yes," I replied. "Crush this bottle and eat this table; with it, we will be able to withstand the environment of the other side, as long as it is not a direct attack," He said and handed me the small bottle with while solution. Crush Crush Powerful auras blasted off Rhea and Jim’s bodies as they activated their defensive methods before they ate the tablets and crushed the bottles. As they did, the liquid inside turned into white mist and wrapped around their bodies like a second armor. Crush! I also crushed the bottle, and soon misty armor covered me. I did not eat the tablet; I would only eat it when I felt the energy purity was too much for me to handle. "Ready," I said to them and waved my hand, and formation appeared in front of me before going toward the huge wall and stuck at it. This formation bears a huge amount of power; I had mixed the formation inks together, adding 20% of one of the Grandmaster level inks that Jim had provided me. Buzz! The formation had activated, and we walked toward the formation as the way had made. Each of our expressions had turned serious, while the other side had many powerful resources, but it was also very dangerous. We passed through the formation and appeared in what seemed like a sunny place of grassland. It is very beautiful with a sun that looked not too bright and gentle wind; it is an atmosphere that even Grimms would enjoy. But we are shaking in terror; the sunny sun is spewing out heat that would melt any Master instantly, and gentle gale seemed to have held the power of a tornado that if we did not have our defenses, it would have crushed us into pieces. There is also another danger, the energy, which is not only denser than before but also much purer than even Masters like Jim and Rhea incapable of taking this energy despite having powerful bloodline and Inheritance. Hun! I am feeling powerful pressure, but the mist cover is protecting me; as for the energy, it is a little overwhelming, but I am handling it, and there is even surprising. The moon, which is orbiting around my core, had started absorbing the energies; it had only done that with the energies of my art, and now it is doing it with these energies. ’I wonder what it will do with it, ’ I had throught when I saw it releasing pure white specks through it. Just like what it did with the energy of my art, this time, it is releasing the specks while continuously absorbing the energy. While the last time, it had done that after it finished absorbing the energy. I couldn’t help but get happy seeing the shower of specks coming from the moon. The last shower of specks had increased the quality of the soul in my core; it had also purified the pure soul power I had in the small lake. I am sure these specks would help me too, and I will research them later, but before that, I should harvest these wonderful plants that are present here. "Be careful; some of these plants are quite dangerous," I warned my friends; they nodded and moved toward the plants; I did not move with them as my strings are more than capable of doing the delicate work of harvesting the Grandmaster level plants. This time, all my strings moved toward a single plant instead of moving toward the several. As I had said, the Grandmaster class plants require more finesse; I could not take a risk with them. When I had finished with them and moved to the lower-level plants, I would harvest them in my usual way. The first herb my vines moved toward was rockthorn root; it looked like a root made of rock. This rook is quite dangerous. Carelessly touching it might kill one as it released stony thorns on touch, which are filled with petrific poison. "Micheal, help me with harvesting the rockthorn room; I do not want to touch it," Jim said suddenly, "Help me with that too," Rhea said. "Sure, but first, let me finish this one," I said and moved my string around the root. It did not even detect it when my invisible strings covered it fully before beginning to pull it up, it reacted at that, but it was already too late at that. I had harvested it with textbook finesse, not damaging even its tiniest, most delicate room. Jim and Rhea would have difficulty replicating this feat, even if they tried. Such undamaged root is precious, I am sure many Grandmasters would pay a high price for it, but I have no interest in selling it. This is root is a powerful body refining resource that would be very useful to me and my experiments, also to people close to me. After I had done harvesting rockthorn root, I had harvested one for Rhea and one for Jim before harvesting the last one, which I had kept for myself before moving to another plant. There are several Grandmaster level plants here of different types, each one of them is precious, and we would harvest it all before moving toward another field, and like always, I had already started to break the formation to reach it.
