Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 128: Magical Plant Curses and Treatment Plans

At that moment, Locke glanced at Ruxin on the hospital bed, with no intention of reminding her of anything.
Because now, the two had vastly different statuses and positions, completely different from their situation on the wizard ship.
Now she was a second-class wizard apprentice, while he was a first-class wizard apprentice and also a potion master's assistant.
Looking at her current condition, even if he and Andrew and the others cured her, she would probably be severely weakened by this curse and wouldn't be able to advance for at least three to four years.
Even if her future wasn't completely ruined, she would be set back for a long time.
It was meaningless for him to argue with such a nobody over the account from the wizard ship.
At most, after becoming a formal wizard, he would settle accounts with Gregor and Virdantia University behind her.
For now, Locke was just helping his friends, Andrew and Axi, complete the academy task assigned to them by their wizard mentors.
While earning some magic stones on the side.
Usually, Andrew and Axi were very helpful to him at the treatment center.
Especially since he hadn't mastered Minor Viridian Potion yet and severely lacked potionology experience, he often needed Andrew and Axi's help in daily situations.
Therefore, their friendship grew stronger.
Locke shared his thoughts with Andrew and Axi. "First, we definitely need to give her intravenous Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion. I think at least 15 bottles."
Andrew and Axi both nodded slightly.
This was standard procedure. Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion had a wide range of uses. Even healthy people could use it.
Its effect was simply to increase one's magical resistance.
Some wizards would even drink a bottle of Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion before entering areas with high energy radiation.
This stuff was almost like a health supplement, whether useful or not, they'd take some.
Axi hesitated, then reminded Locke, "Locke, 15 bottles is based on first-class wizard apprentices who have magical pressure. You need to consider that second-class wizard apprentices' souls have no protective shell and are very fragile, requiring stronger magical resistance to protect her. So I think we need at least 45 bottles of intravenous treatment."
Andrew looked at her, somewhat shocked by the 45 bottles. "Axi, you're being too extreme. 45 bottles, do you want to turn this Virdantia University second-class wizard apprentice into a water balloon?"
"Thirty bottles would be about right. More than that wouldn't be realistic." Locke coughed.
Andrew immediately stopped Axi, who wanted to argue back, saying, "Alright, let's not disturb Locke. Let him continue."
Axi glared at him.
Locke continued, "The first plan is to directly sever the connection between her magical plants and her magical power, that is, immediately replace the magical vines."
"Using the opportunity of replacing the magical vines, we remove the three Tiflo Root Vines that have undergone malignant deterioration. However, the difficulty lies in the fact that these three malignantly deteriorated Tiflo Root Vines are like vampires, tightly wrapped around their original owner. It doesn't look easy to separate them."
Andrew nodded repeatedly. "Indeed risky. These three magical plants have already become parasitic types. I'm afraid it would be very difficult to separate them."
Locke continued, "The second plan is to find a way to restore these three magical plants to their original state. This would be the ideal situation. The curse she's under should be the Bleeding Curse."
"Use a specialized curse-breaking potion for the Bleeding Curse, and have both her and the three magical plants take it."
"Of course, specialized curse-breaking potions can break curses on wizard apprentices, but mutated magical plants can at most be weakened and won't return to their original state. So we can use the Mana Co-frequency Cultivation Method for targeted mutation, reverse mutation."
"That is, use curse-breaking potions to restore her to normal, and use the Radiation Cauldron to restore her magical plants to at least a harmless state."
Light flashed in Locke's eyes. Ruxin's situation was so rare that he really had the intention to try this.
This would be very useful for improving his Mana Co-frequency Cultivation Method skills and would be beneficial for quickly passing the breeder certification exam.
The only downside was that it would be very bad for Ruxin herself.
This would basically treat her completely like a lab mouse. Saying she could fully recover was just the ideal scenario, but in reality, it would likely make her condition even worse.
But such a radical treatment plan was indeed the one most likely to completely not affect her future.
After all, imagination had no limits.
Locke's thoughts returned to reality as he stated what he considered the most realistic third plan. "The third plan still focuses on replacing her magical plants."
"Replacing the magical plants is the method most likely to solve her current problems."
"Only while replacing the magical plants, I can use special breeder methods, using the Radiation Cauldron to weaken her magical plants while using a more dominant higher-level magical plant from the same ecological niche for forced replacement."
"Using the ecological competitive relationship between higher and lower-level magical plants from the same ecological niche, we forcibly replace the three deteriorated magical plants. During this process, Andrew and Axi, you two will be responsible for breaking the curse on this Virdantia University second-class wizard apprentice."
"Of course, the third plan still has risks. The Radiation Cauldron should cause some effects on her body, as she'll need to be in a high magical radiation state for at least half an hour."
Andrew and Axi looked at each other and quickly discussed the three plans Locke proposed and their implementation possibilities.
The second plan was the first they eliminated. Although the ideal was good, trying to mutate already-mutated magical plants back was too difficult.
Even advanced breeders might not have this ability.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many ecological disasters caused by magical plants in the wild.
The difference between the first and third plans was whether to use the Radiation Cauldron. Finally, Andrew nodded to Locke, "Locke, Axi and I discussed it. We can try using your third plan."
"The first plan of directly replacing magical plants is too difficult. We don't mind, but this second-class wizard apprentice is too fragile. If we're even slightly rough, her body and magical power will be completely torn apart by these three magical plants."
"Direct replacement without weakening won't work."
Axi added, "We can give her Royal Jelly Potion to increase her vitality, and give her 45 bottles of Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion. If she can't drink it, we'll inject it directly."
"We can also set up blood exchange equipment for her, forcibly injecting the potions. This should minimize the effects of the Radiation Cauldron on her body."
Axi looked somewhat regretfully at Ruxin lying on the hospital bed. "Such a pity. A good wizard seed, a young girl, ruined like this by those black wizards."
"If she were even a first-class wizard apprentice, it wouldn't be this difficult. Now we can only patch things together and forcibly restore her."
Ruxin's eyelashes moved slightly on the hospital bed, seemingly hearing Axi's pity for her.
And indeed that was the case.
If any of the three, Locke, Andrew, or Axi, were hit with this curse, they could simply forcibly replace their magical plants before the curse became further entangled with their magical power and soul, making the situation complex.
Even if it became as serious and complex as now, they could rely on their magical pressure structure to forcibly replace the magical plants, at most being weakened for a few months.
But Ruxin was only a second-class wizard apprentice with no magical pressure structure on her soul surface. She was like fragile tofu, and Locke and the others had to carve flowers on this tofu.
Without damaging the tofu.
Treating powerful wizards, even if they had very complex curses, was much simpler than treating weak wizards with special malicious curses.
At least they could perform several experiments on powerful wizards without worrying about the wizard dying.
Locke said, "Then let's begin. I'll have my servant fetch the Radiation Cauldron."
Andrew reminded Locke, "Tell your servant to be careful not to damage the Radiation Cauldron during transport."
Although Andrew wasn't a breeder, he knew this thing was expensive.
