Death... and me

Rean couldn't understand most of the uses of that equipment, so he didn't stay in there for long. "Oh well, you stay here and do what you have to do. I'm going out to check the online market."

Roan nodded as he began to verify the instructions for the many different types of equipment. Just like Rean, he would need a very long time to get used to all of that. 'Hum... now that I think about it, Rean got quite a few specialists in the medicinal area from Earth. It might be worth a try to drag them all here and work together. It's just that I will have to teach them about alchemy from scratch. But then again, I have plenty of herbs to use in the garden I left Celis to take care of.'

As Roan planned his next steps, Rean left the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and checked the online market. He had left a very huge reward for any kind of Wood Element Material with a hint of Wood Laws. If Rean could acquire one directly, Rean would pay in full. If all he got was information, he would still pay a sizeable sum.

However, even though the advertisement had been up all this time, there was absolutely no news about it. No one left any message in the Online Market, regardless of whether they had the material or just information about something similar to it. Only then did Rean remember something. 'Right! I'm such an idiot! One has to be at least in the Space-Time Realm to be able to feel the laws. That's why there is almost no information. Even if someone below the Space-Time Realm got their hands in a Wood Laws Material, they probably wouldn't even know it!'

Rean was right. Countless cultivators, demon beasts, and spirits had seen his request. Many, many of them had high-level Wood Element materials, let alone information about such items. However, the fact that Rean asked the material to have a hint of Wood Laws left them all sighing in regret in front of that great payment. More than 99% of the experts who saw it didn't even know what Rean was talking about.

It was then that Rean thought about Flinyu and Folesve. 'Perhaps...'

Without thinking twice, Rean took out his communication badge and sent a message to Flinyu and Folesve. He got their numbers after he passed them Kafan's Jade Slip. He described what he needed and just left it like that. He could call them directly, but he wasn't in a hurry and didn't want to bother Peak Stage Divinity Realm experts if possible.

Rean didn't ask them to give him the material, though. All he asked was for a list of Wood Element materials that contained Wood Laws in them. He would then look for such materials for Celis later. That was, it wouldn't look like he was abusing his right to ask for help from these two experts.

Surprisingly, Rean received a message less than a minute later. Rean truly made the right decision. Because Rean didn't ask the materials directly and requested information about them, Flinyu didn't mind it too much and simply passed the three names he knew. 

'Hum... Lahamina Earth Tree Core: Lahamina Earth Trees can be found in Lahamina Continent, a continent at the skirts of the Realm of Gods. However, most Lahamina Trees don't have cores. If they do, it is because they became a Demon Plant, just like Celis. Besides, even if I find one with a Core, it is still not guaranteed it will have a hint of Wood Laws inside. Well, I don't really want to go out and kill a sentient being for no reason...'

'The second one is called... called what? Ni... Ni... Nihihihihihihi Mountain Grass? What the hell is this name? Errrr... They can be found in the mountain range that goes by the same amazing name. This Mountain Range is located in the Pragie Continent, one of the Central Continents of the Realm of Gods. However, this grass is highly coveted for alchemy. Any one of these that appears on the market is quickly sold out. Not only that, only those who had surpassed more than ten thousand years of age have a small chance of having a hint of wood laws.'

Rean couldn't help but sigh. 'There is no way I'm going to find one with wood laws. From the description given by senior Flinyu, these grasses rarely have a chance of surpassing even a hundred years of age before being collected. The mountain range is full of cultivators who look for this grass to make some quick gains. The only way seems to buy some young grasses, which is already hard, and then plant the grass and wait for it to reach the necessary age. And even that is most likely to not work since there is only a chance of the grass gaining some wood laws. Well, Roan can't simply wait for ten thousand years either.'

Rean continued. 'Let's see... Hum? Aberrant Devil Flower. This flower is quite common and usually destroyed anywhere it appears. That's because it contains a strong poison that not only can kill the users but also causes disaster to the land it grows, capable of even affecting the natural environment over several hundreds of kilometers. If left alone, its effect will keep spreading, and it will soon multiply, easily destroying the plant life over tens of thousands of kilometers.'

'It is mostly prominent in the Demon Beast Territory, near a continent called Floral Demon Land. There are even squads of Demon Beasts led by the top Demon Beasts of that continent that travel around looking for this flower so that they can destroy it as fast as possible.'

Rean understood. 'It is pretty obvious this flower absorbs the life energy of all other plants in its surroundings. It kind of reminds me of Celis, who is a World Swallowing Cedar. The difference is that Celis absorbs cultivation energies, while this flower absorbs plant life energy. Let's see... Any Aberrant Devil Flower that has absorbed the life of plants over ten thousand kilometers has a high chance of acquiring a hint of wood laws. It's just that it also has its extremely lethal poison, so one tries to use it. If they do, they must be careful.'

Rean smiled in response. 'Poison? I doubt Roan would care about such a thing at all. Well then, the Floral Demon Land it is.'
