Chapter 305: Hollow Weed

As a visitor, Vice did not push the embarrassment further. He followed Angor into the house next.
They both wanted to get down to business as soon as they could.
Vice’s attention was immediately grasped by the strange yet convenient design of the bronze revolver.
“I didn’t know you’re knowledgeable in machinery too, Mister Padt,” said Vice as he picked up the weapon with glimmering eyes and inspected it in his hands carefully. He was very shocked to see the complicated network of runes engraved on it.
Every wizard more or less knew something about alchemy products, and so was Vice. He clearly understood how difficult it was to draw magic arrays.
Compared to enchantment, synthesis required luck, skills, and a great experience to create better items. Enchantment, however, highly depended on “experience”—if someone succeeded for once, his following attempts would become a lot easier.
This was exactly the case shown by Angor and Prome. Prome only produced one single mid-tier alchemy item in a decade, while Angor made two in succession and within three days!
Hollow Weed.
The small glass tube filled with the transparent liquid contained 13 green, fluffy mold-like orbs that stuck on the wall of the tube.
There was nothing to be seen when one observed them with naked eyes. However, when Angor unleashed his spirit feelers, he could sense the faint aura of a void, one which was only found where a space was full of unstable energy. A plane passageway was a common place where wizards tended to find such Hollow Weed.
It was a special magical plant that possessed both vegetal properties and the hollowness of void. It drained drifting space energy to sustain itself.
There were many uses to it, such as brewing Void Potion. However, Angor was more interested in the major property of the plant which was used to create an area in the void which would then allow animals and plants to live inside.
He could place the Hollow Weed in a space storage, and the plant would create a habitable place for creatures by generating oxygen and blocking hazardous elements of the void. The weed was one of the best supplementary items to be used alongside a space storage.
There was no crafting involved. Angor simply needed to put the plant inside his space storage and leave it there.
The only problem with the material was its cost. Also, the size of the “safe area” depended on the number of plants placed.
The 13 orbs of Hollow Weed possessed by Angor could create an area around 500 liters, and if they were brought to an auction, they would usually be sold at for six or seven thousand magic crystals.
With this, Angor could enhance the space storage he was going to make and store valuable stuff, including his precious Section Ephemera.
He put the tube away and began reading how to craft a space storage.
…
While he did his researches in his house, his name already became widespread in the entire Brute Cavern after the two alchemy omens.
Somewhere inside Tree Spirit Garden, a white-robed young man played with a chain in his hand and revealed a grim expression. “Looks like I can’t do nothing about this guy now… fine. Hope he stays in Brute Cavern and doesn’t bother with my plan.”
Bobota walked past another group of people who were discussing the omens.
“Oh, I know something about those clouds.” He joined the speakers with a smile. “Angor Padt, student of Mister Sunders. Hey, don’t be afraid, the boy’s pretty gentle. He’ll help y’all with your orders as long as you don’t play rough or act all bossy.”
With that, Bobota disappeared into the shadows before replacing his smile with a grim grin again.
On the 12th level of the Sky Tower, people were engaged in a heated discussion over Angor’s name as well.
“You heard? The ‘One-Hit Man’ is the new master alchemist who brought the omen!”
“One-Hit Man? Do you mean the rich pervert who slaughtered Parasite Queen? Baron Milk??”
“Keep your damn voice down! He ain’t someone we should oppose!”
“Well, damn it all! He’s a master alchemist? Then when can I get revenge for Parasite Queen?”
When they walked away, someone dressed in a white bear costume silently walked under the light with a joyful look.
“Just a bit longer, sister. If I follow his steps… I’ll soon go looking for you.”
