180: A picnic, a relaxing day.

Renn looked at the freshly brewed potions before him, feeling extremely excited.

The Wind Spirit Fruits he had previously handed over to Kapdo had finally yielded results under the joint research of Kapdo and Cecilia.

Looking at the four potions before him, Renn asked Kapdo, "Are these also divided into four categories?"

Cecilia answered Renn's question first.

"Big Brother Renn, these four potions are actually divided into two categories. The two on the left are prepared for warriors, and the two on the right are prepared for magic wolves."

"Both types of potions are divided into Bronze Rank and Silver Rank. Potions refined with Bronze Rank Wind Spirit Fruits are Bronze Rank Wind Spirit Potions, and those refined with Silver Rank Wind Spirit Fruits are Silver Rank Wind Spirit Potions."

Kapdo watched Cecilia, who was explaining enthusiastically, with a smile on his face.

Under Dora's continuous purification, the power of the curse within Cecilia had become negligible, and with her worries laid to rest, Cecilia's strength was improving rapidly.

Already highly gifted, Cecilia's study of Potionology knowledge under Kapdo's guidance was advancing by leaps and bounds, with rapid progress.

Renn also placed great importance on Cecilia, giving her priority access to the resources in his hands. This allowed the fifteen-year-old Cecilia to have already reached the Silver Mid-rank, with an extremely solid foundation.

A few days ago, after discussing it with Kapdo, Renn also gave the Legendary-grade Sacred Heart Meditation Method he had obtained in the Sub-plane to Cecilia to study.

As a Potion Master of the Holy White Academy, Kapdo also possessed a Legendary-grade meditation method, but according to the rules of the Holy White Academy, Cecilia was not qualified to study it.

Kapdo knew the academy's strength best and also knew how severe the academy's punishments for oath-breakers were. If he were Legendary, he naturally wouldn't need to care about those rules, but he wasn't, so he didn't dare to pass on this forbidden knowledge to Cecilia casually.

The Sacred Heart Meditation Method did not have this problem, and this Legendary-grade meditation method also filled in Cecilia's final shortcoming.

Now, Cecilia was adept at refining Silver Rank potions, and her efficiency in producing potions when working with Kapdo was several times higher than it had been a year ago.

"Big Brother Renn, if you are satisfied with these Wind Spirit Potions, Grandpa and I can prepare more right now. There are still quite a few mature Wind Spirit Fruits."

"After the wind spirit sacred trees in the Magical Plant Garden were blessed by Dora, both their yield and effectiveness have improved significantly. The Wind Spirit Potions prepared later should be even stronger."

Kapdo coughed twice on purpose at this moment.

"Little Cecilia, are you trying to work your grandpa to death?"

"I'm so old, and I haven't rested for several days now. You won't even let an old man take a break."

"Hahahaha!"

Renn laughed and reached out to rub Cecilia's little head.

"You should rest when it's time to rest; it's important to balance work and rest!"

Having been busy non-stop recently, Renn was also a bit tired. Keeping the string in his head pulled too tight wasn't a good thing. Taking advantage of Kapdo's words, Renn proposed going for a picnic.

"How about this? It's a bit late today. Tomorrow, we'll all take a day off and go for a picnic at the Rainbow Spring to enjoy life."

After a month of non-stop effort, the affairs of settling the population had passed their most difficult stage; from here on, everything just needed to proceed step by step.

The expansion and recruitment of the army were also on the right track, and the four major legions had already moved into their respective barracks to begin training.

Various production activities within the territory were also in full swing, and there were no troubles that required Renn to worry about.

Everything in the Red River Territory was flourishing and looking good, so Renn was naturally in a good mood.

"Yay! Cecilia likes picnics!"

Cecilia jumped up happily. After hearing Renn's proposal for a picnic, she immediately cast aside the idea of working overtime to prepare potions.

"Picnic, picnic!"

"Cecilia needs to prepare well. I should make more delicious food to bring along."

The excited and happy Cecilia flew back to her room, and before long, she ran back again.

"What's wrong, Cecilia?"

"Big Brother Renn, are Big Sister Alistair and the others going to the picnic tomorrow?"

"Melissa and Ariya are right there at the Rainbow Spring. They and Dora should all be attending. As for Alistair, I will invite her; if she is free, she will go."

"Then I understand. I'll go prepare now. Goodbye, Big Brother Renn! Goodbye, Grandpa!"

Cecilia turned around and ran off in a flurry again.

Watching the excited Cecilia, Renn and Kapdo both had smiles on their faces.

"You and Cecilia have worked hard lately, Master Capdo."

"It's nothing, just concocting some potions. Back when I was learning new potions, I often wouldn't rest for days and nights at a time. This level of intensity is nothing."

"By the way, do you have any thoughts on that gold grade magical plant, the Rosy Cloud Tree, brought back from the Sub-plane?"

That small tree with dazzling, colorful rosy cloud tree leaves was currently the highest-grade magic plant in Renn's possession. As a top-tier Potion Master, he was naturally extremely tempted by a magic plant of this level.

"It seems Master Capdo's hands are itching and you want to give it a try?"

"Yes, give it a try!"

"Alright then, I'll let you give it a try, Master Capdo!"

As he spoke, Renn took out three rosy cloud tree leaves from his spatial ring.

"I found these in the place where you live. There were five when I found them. I used two to test the effects, and I'll leave the remaining three to you, Master Capdo."

Currently, Kapdo was the only one capable of handling gold grade magical plants, so these rosy cloud tree leaves would definitely end up with Kapdo to be researched and concocted into potions.

Renn had previously tried two pieces, and the effects were excellent. The two rosy cloud tree leaves allowed Renn to cross that final half-step of the Gold Rank Mid-rank and break through to the Gold Rank High-rank.

"To think you actually have some on hand—that's wonderful."

"Since you've already used them, tell me what effects these rosy cloud tree leaves actually have and what the reaction is after consuming them?"

Renn knew that Kapdo was asking about the efficacy of the rosy cloud tree leaves to increase the success rate of concocting potions, so he carefully explained his reaction to consuming the rosy cloud tree leaves to Kapdo.

The two exchanged ideas for a long time until Kapdo was satisfied.

...

Early the next morning, urged by Cecilia, Renn got up early, brought the items prepared in advance, and arrived at Dora's Garden.

Renn called it a picnic, but in reality, the picnic spot was very close to the residence at Red River Fortress. The straight-line distance was only a little over a thousand meters; Reck could land before he even took off.

Renn and the others were very familiar with the picnic spot; he and Cecilia visited Dora's Garden often.

Dora's Garden was a top-tier Magical Plant Garden that Dora had created at the core of the Magical Plant Garden, utilizing natural magic, high-level magic plants, and the Mana Spring that Renn had brought back from the Sub-plane. Dora lived inside it, and she named it Dora's Garden herself.

Even though it was a picnic right at their doorstep, Cecilia and Dora were already very excited and happy.

Arriving at Dora's Garden, Dora, who had received the news in advance, had already prepared the picnic spot.

A lush green lawn had appeared near the Rainbow Spring for everyone to have their picnic.

"Renn, Renn, you're here! Look quickly at the tables and chairs I prepared. How are they? Very beautiful, right?"

Dora showed Renn the flower dining table and wooden chairs she had created using natural magic.

The tables and chairs emitted a rich fragrance of flowers and wood, which made people feel extremely comfortable after smelling them. After sitting down, Renn discovered that the wooden chairs could actually move and had a massage function.

"Amazing, our Dora is truly great!"

"Dora is truly amazing!"

After Cecilia and the others sat down, they also discovered the function of the wooden chairs, and everyone's praises for Dora were endless.

Receiving everyone's praise, Dora's mouth stretched almost to the back of her head, and she spun around in the air happily.

Ariya, who was on the side, also hurriedly showed off the fruits of her labor, and Cecilia let everyone taste the desserts she had made last night.

There was laughter and joy by the Rainbow Spring.
