The Starbright Duchy had a total of seven provinces.
Among them, the Golden Rock Province was located in the northernmost part of the duchy, bordering the Lake Lan Province to the southwest, and beyond that was the Frost Dye Province.
“What disease?” Su Nan asked.
Kei didn’t elaborate and handed him a piece of parchment.
Su Nan took it and his brows furrowed.
Apparently, a month ago, a strange disease suddenly appeared in Silver Ridge City, Frost Dye Province. People who fell ill would gradually grow beast-like hair, claws, and fangs, as well as other animalistic features. They would attack others like maniacs, exhibiting an extremely strong desire for flesh.
The Silver Ridge City Lord didn’t take it seriously at first. He sent guards to kill the sick, burying them hastily.
But the situation didn’t end there. More people in the city were subsequently infected with the disease.
The situation had reached such a point that the Silver Ridge City army was unable to handle it.
With no other choice, the Silver Ridge City Lord had to seek help from the Frost Dye Marquis.
Currently, the Frost Dye Marquis had sent troops to suppress those infected maniacs.
After reading the content on the parchment, Su Nan couldn’t help but grin, feeling a toothache.
Wasn’t this just the Beast Transformation Disease!
It was more accurate to say that the Beast Transformation Disease was an atavistic phenomenon rather than a disease.
In humans infected with the Beast Transformation Disease, the beast transformation factor would be completely activated. Their bodies would exhibit various beastly features, making them lose their sanity and transform into bloodthirsty, ferocious beasts.
However, the only ones capable of spreading the Beast Transformation Disease were the Primitive Beast Transformants.
Primitive Beast Transformants referred to the first generation of beast transformants, as well as the next generation born from Primitive Beast Transformants.
Beast transformants born from the breeding of a Primitive Beast Transformant and a normal human or an ordinary Beast Transformant wouldn’t be considered Primitive Beast Transformants.
For example, the Beast Transformant guard Ota beside Mu Zhuo of the Fire Fox Trading Company was clearly an ordinary Beast Transformant.
In ancient times, the Primitive Beast Transformants had caused a catastrophe known as the “Beast Transformation Calamity,” resulting in massive casualties. It wasn’t until later that wizards managed to suppress them.
After that, wizards realized the threat posed by Primitive Beast Transformants, so they eradicated them all.
The ones that survived were the ordinary Beast Transformants born from breeding with normal humans.
So, in theory, there shouldn’t be any Primitive Beast Transformants left on the Starlight Continent. How could the Beast Transformation Disease appear again? R̃
Su Nan secretly felt puzzled.
“This is the Beast Transformation Disease.” Su Nan handed back the parchment.
Seeing Kei’s puzzled expression, he had to explain in detail what the Beast Transformation Disease was.
After listening, Kei’s expression immediately became extremely solemn.
“The infected people who become Beast Transformants, are they hard to deal with?”
“It depends on the infected person’s physique. If it’s just an ordinary person, after infection, they would at most become Probationary Knight level. But if it’s a Probationary Knight or Knight, then it would be very troublesome.”
“The Beast Transformation Disease can be mild or severe. If we can find the source of infection quickly and curb the spread, then we can quickly quell the situation by eliminating all infected people. But if we can’t control it, it could lead to a major disaster.” Su Nan shook his head.
Kei’s brows furrowed even tighter, and he sighed, “I hope Frost Dye Province can control the situation as soon as possible.”
Su Nan pursed his lips and didn’t seem too worried.
The Frost Dye Province was separated from the Shining Light Territory by the Lake Lan Province. Even if a Beast Transformation Calamity truly broke out in the Frost Dye Province, the Frost Dye Marquis and the nearby provincial marquises would be the ones to worry, not him.
Time flew by, and it was soon the month of Summer Ridge.
The Fire Fox Trading Company finally delivered the Silver Moon Flower and Red Vein Fruit seeds.
The construction of the Magical Plant Garden could finally be put on the agenda.
However, before planting, Su Nan still had to improve the seeds of the Silver Moon Flower and the Red Vein Fruit.
The former was relatively simple, just two words – synthesis!
Use basic Silver Moon Flower seeds to synthesize a more superior variety.
Of course, synthesis wasn’t unlimited.
Theoretically, as long as he had enough Silver Moon Flower seeds, Su Nan could continue improving and advancing them.
The problem was that the more superior the variety, the more demanding the growth environment would become.
If the synthesized Silver Moon Flower was too superior, then even with the Magic Plant Garden equipped with energy gathering arrays, the energy particle density might not meet its growth conditions.
Therefore, what Su Nan needed to do was to find the limit-improved seeds that were just right for the energy particle density of the Magic Plant Garden.
This process wasn’t difficult, just planting different synthesized seeds, comparing their growth performance, and selecting the best ones.
It took about two months before Su Nan finally selected the most suitable superior variety.
The improvement process of the Red Vein Fruit was much more difficult and long-lasting.
He had to first fuse the Red Vein Fruit seeds with Dragon’s Blood, grow them for a round to obtain improved Red Vein Fruit seeds, and then he could perform synthesis.
Otherwise, if he fused each seed individually, Su Nan would be exhausted to death.
However, even with the energy gathering array improving the growth environment, the Red Vein Fruit’s growth cycle was still as long as three months.
Adding the time spent on researching the fusion, it took Su Nan four months to harvest the first batch of seeds. He named them Dragon Blood Fruit.
Then, the process of selecting and adapting the seeds was repeated, just like with the Silver Moon Flower seeds.
By the time Su Nan planted the finally selected Dragon Blood Fruit seeds, the time had entered the month of Autumn Curtain, nearing the end of the year.
The weather had already become cold.
Fortunately, the Magic Plant Garden had a constant temperature array, so he didn’t have to worry about the effects of climate.
Looking at the dense seedlings of Silver Moon Flowers and Dragon Blood Fruit in the Magic Plant Garden, Su Nan let out a sigh of relief, feeling quite a sense of accomplishment.
From now on, he wouldn’t have to spend a lot of gold coins buying Silver Moon Flowers anymore. The material problem for Super Ability Potions had temporarily been solved.
The substitute for the Secondary Dragon Blood Potion was the same.
Once the first batch of Dragon Blood Fruit was harvested, the problem of insufficient potion supply could be solved.
Stretching, Su Nan turned and left the Magic Plant Garden.
The base was quiet.
Because he was the only one there, it was usually very quiet.
Occasionally, he could hear the dull footsteps of the clay golems. They were cleaning the base.
Since Xie Man and the other three couldn’t yet handle things on their own, Su Nan was completely responsible for the planting and cultivation of the Silver Moon Flower.
As a result, he had become busier these past few months.
Therefore, the Steel Golem hadn’t been forged yet. The Blackstone Iron delivered from Shining Light City was still piled up in the warehouse.
However, Su Nan hadn’t neglected his meditation and spell practice for a single day.
He had now successfully constructed his seventh star ring, getting one step closer to becoming a Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice.
His spiritual power had also increased to 22.12.
However, the proficiency of the 8th-Rank Star Ring Meditation Method had also skyrocketed to 130,000 points.
He still needed more than 20,000 proficiency points to upgrade and break through again.
“More than 20,000 proficiency points, it’s about a month’s worth.”
“But according to this trend, the proficiency of the 9th-Rank Star Ring Meditation Method will probably reach 200,000. In that case, it will take at least seven or eight months to upgrade.”
Su Nan estimated that the time was roughly in line with his previous prediction.
If all went well, he would be able to construct the ninth star ring at the end of the month of Summer Ridge or the beginning of the month of Flaming Fire next year.
