The Overconfident Magic Plant Curse

Locke pondered.

Magic Plants and curses had originally had nothing to do with each other. But because a Wizard Apprentice from the Blood Curse Court had integrated different curses into Magic Plant Curses, he now had a way to obtain malignantly deteriorated cursed Magic Plants and use the Grafting Cultivation Method to give Emerald Iris Lichen specific resistances.

That way, he could even create a super-mutated variety of Emerald Iris Lichen that could adapt to most curses and possessed exceptionally powerful curse resistance.

Locke thought of the Custom Magic Plant Competition held by Lilith's Cottage's Combat Department.

The other party was clearly too clever for her own good, Locke thought. She believed changing the target of the curse to a Magic Plant was an ingenious idea, but she never considered why so many Formal Wizard-level curse specialists had never done the same.

Because they aren't that stupid.

Once you incorporate a specific curse into a specific Magic Plant, Breeders can use that plant and all kinds of cultivation methods to produce Magic Plants with corresponding curse resistance.
