Chapter 178: Plain Covert

His mother, Audrey, and Helena do not know yet about the deal he made with Ashley. There were still five and a half months left for the competition, Alexander knew that they were using him and that the collaboration between him and Ashley's clan was not as strong because that the Clan itself refused to pay Alexander's fees on spiritual stones even if they were ninth-grade stones.

This could only be solved by not wanting Alexander to become stronger in the next six months, at least not at his expense, since a weaker person was easier to control.

Supposedly the Clan Cordner would pay ten million for each token that Alexander wins but the attitude of the Cordner family towards him could change at any time after winning the tokens so he was not very encouraged by this deal.

If the Cordner family respected the deal he had made with Ashley, Alexander would have no problem selling the tokens since he did not have much intention of going to the Tree Fire Academy.

Alexander could only sigh and accept the deal because it was also in his best interest to use the Cordner Family after all in these six months he would have his protection and they would block the other powers from trying to establish relations with him.

Now the only thing he had to do was improve his strength in the next five months. Now in the last days Alexander ordered more than a hundred sets of herbs for Qi Spirit Pills, Alexander had no intention of selling them to the guild, so he paid 15% extra by set for commissions to the Guild.

Every day Alexander refined 10 sets of Herbal Elemental Opening pills while refining 2 herbal sets of Qi Spirit Pills

In these fortnight already had more than 150 sets of Elemental Opening Pills, Making 1500 other Elemental Opening Pills of High Grade, Making more than 6 million gold coins

In addition to 240 Qi spirit Pills of transcendent degree, Alexander took twenty Qi spirit Pills while the rest gave it to his mother, Audrey, Helena and Karen.

Karen was just in the fourth level of Gathering Qi so Alexander gave her a 36-point acupuncture technique and gave her four Qi spirit Pills.

This should be enough for her to reach the elementary half-step peak. Karen was very efficient with her work and as Alexander was happy she had to pay off properly.

Alexander turned his 33 million into futures contracts of spiritual stones of eighth and ninth grade to two years, After all if he needed money he only needed money just refined a few rare pills, In his mind there were innumerable recipes of 1-Rank pills to 5-Rank while there were some pills developed by himself but he did not know his own rank.

Anna decided to buy an apartment of about four rooms for more than 275 thousand gold coins in a common neighborhood within Pale City.

Anna wanted to buy a bigger house in the City but was stopped by Alexander, arguing that the Pale City was just a passing city and that they may never come back after leaving it.

So Anna was happy with her new apartment. Besides this Anna was also seeing if she opened a new store in the City, Her son made a lot of money despite her young age so Anna would not have to worry about money or that eating what made her business just a hobby for her and she could take it easy but seeing the pills her son had given her, Anna decided to enter the prison to enter the Elemental Realm.

At this time the strongest of them was Audrey who was in the second Elemental level and very close to the third level, now with all the pills that Alexander gave him he could raise his strength by leaps and bounds.

Alexander had already prepared a cultivation technique for his mother, which was the same as the one he gave his grandmother before coming to Pale City.

Alexander called it "Three forces of life"

This was a technique based on the wooden element that allowed the user to heal from their wounds even if their wounds were deadly, while the person has a breath of life can be healed in three breaths to a more stable situation.

Of course, if you have less than three breaths of life you will still die. Besides that, in a battle, you could only use this ability three times and if you used it a fourth time the body would not have enough vitality to support it.

Alexander loved his mother and did not want to lose her. He knew he could not be with her all the time. So Anna would need to have enough power to defend herself, and this technique would cover the great weakness of her mother and grandmother.

They were good at counterattack but not to throw the first stone and if they did not know who was the person who attacked them they would do nothing but defend themselves until they know who attacked them.

This would be good if his enemies attacked directly without hiding anything but Alexander knew that in this world there also existed sly enemies who only attacked in the shadows treating people like chess pieces.

Alexander would have no problem killing all the chess pieces one by one but his mother was not that kind of person so his mother would be innocent or just puppets so she would not bother with them.

Alexander could only shake his head at the mentality of his mother for what he gave this technique, Normally the wood-type cultivators did not have a good fighting force but Alexander did not worry because his mother was always with Audrey as a nail and dirt.

Audrey could be the fighting force while Ana could be the defense and the healing factor of Audrey with this combination could certainly survive unless they meet an expert far superior to them.

With these measures, Alexander could be calm even if he was away from home for a long time.

At this moment the only thing that worried him was where to make his breakthrough towards Elemental Realm!

I already had the right pills I just needed a suitable place, Alexander could say that it was not a good idea to make his breakthrough in Pale City so Alexander decided to leave about two hundred miles west of the City.

In that direction, there was a forest, in which innumerable wild beasts and even some demonic beasts lived. This forest was called by the native people as "Plain Covert" due to its density of vegetation and trees more than ten meters high.

Alexander did not have his mother's permission for this adventure so he would have to return before she leaves prison, as for the experts of the alchemist's guild they would only protect Alexander inside the City and not outside so they would not They will continue to Plain Covert.

Plain Covert could easily extend for twenty thousand square miles and was not only monopolized by Palet City, but all the powers of the eight cities closest to the forest entered this forest in order to collect herbs and hunt wild and demonic beasts.

Plain Covert had a dense spiritual Qi and was extremely rich in natural resources, the more one went deeper into treasures and found more value there.

The only bad thing is that he would also find more powerful beasts would be found, According to what Alexander read at its center there could even be demonic beasts of 2-Level mid-range, Almost like an expert Spirit Realm of the human race.

Alexander at this moment if he made a full effort and attacked without fear of dying he calculated that he could exchange some blows with a half step Spirit and maybe flee but not win, let alone kill him.

The demonstration that he did to Ashley was only a performance that occurs when the Qi is turned on the meridians to the extreme, causing his aura to expand. Alexander's Qi was robust and dense, so emitting the aura of a half step Spirit was simple.

Now Alexander had the strength of a common elementary middle stage expert (Levels 4-6) which means that Alexander could now fight with people four levels above his own crop.

This was somewhat surprising for Alexander since in his previous life he knew that geniuses who could fight over their own crop were very rare even if it was only one level above but now he could fight above four.

Alexander was almost like a demonic beast that only an expert of the human race three levels above him could be his partner and all this was due to his rare bloodline.

This rare bloodline had given him an innate constitution unparalleled within this continent and maybe only the geniuses of the holy land could be his partner. The fighting force had a lot to do with the innate ability and the higher the innate capacity the greater the combat strength in the Higher Realms.

That is, if your innate ability is only a seal, you will undoubtedly have greater strength of two levels in the Elemental Realm but when you enter the Spirit Realm you will lose that advantage and have a common strength in that Realm.

Because of this, the geniuses of 1-Seal could not fight with the geniuses of 2-Seal but the same thing would happen to the geniuses of 2-Seals with the geniuses of 3-Seals.

When you finish all your potential you will only end up as a common expert and you would no longer be considered a genius. That's why the Seals themselves were so important and the powers will value you more the more seals you have open.

Without saying that moving forward would be very difficult after exhausting your innate talent Unless you find a way to promote your innate talent, moving forward in cultivation was extremely difficult.

An example can be he in his previous life, In his previous life he could only find treasures that promoted his innate 2-Seals talent but finding objects that promoted 3-Seals was very difficult and even if he found them without a doubt the great powers would they tarnished to hunt him for that treasure to use on his disciples or descendants.

On the continent the greatest talents were those who had open 5-Seals being the innate cream of the crop, making these young people while they have enough resources and a good cultivation environment do not have bottlenecks until the Realm King but after this move forward It will be extremely slow and full of bottlenecks.

For example, in the continent there could be young people in their thirties within him Peak Heaven Realm but even the best geniuses of the continent would be in their 60's when they enter the middle step Emperor Realm, that is, they would spend 30 years in only one Realm and it could be that they do not even advance to the emperor realm in all his life.

For the geniuses, that speed was very slow and there were worse cases of people where each advance would take them tens or hundreds of years and endless bottlenecks like Alexander in his past life.

Unless you will find rare treasures or rare pills difficult to refine so much for ingredients as there are few alchemists capable of refining that pill and even if they could refine it they would do it for their descendants or disciples. If he wanted to sell it, they will auction it to get the maximum possible benefit. Making people like the Rogue Cultivators with their limited wealth unable to buy it.

This world was difficult and hard, only being able to depend on your own hands to advance in the way, Alexander in his previous life had tired of relying on other alchemists so he studied alchemy, He got tired of relying on Array masters to improve his environment of cultivation so I study Arrays.

This is the only thing someone without background could do if they wanted to move forward in life.

Chapter 177: There's no trust.

In other words, the Cordner family wanted to use it, so Alexander was negotiating for more than two hours with Ashley.

Apparently every three years the Class 11 Branch within the Republic will organize an Alchemy competition in order to bring together the best Alchemy talents under 20 years old.

What was the first prize?

For the first place, Five tokens to join the Tree Fire Academy.

For the second place, Three tokens to join the Tree Fire Academy.

For the third place, a token to join the Tree Fire Academy.

Apparently, the Tree Fire Academy was the best Academy of Alchemy in the Region of the Fifth Degree mortal countries. Together with its sister Academy the Martial Path Academy. These were relatively new and newly founded academies only 20 years ago.

This academy was very powerful as it was founded by the Class 10 headquarters of the Alchemists Guild in collaboration with the ten most powerful countries and powers in the Region, so in this Academy the 2-Star alchemists and even 2-Star Peak They could be found in heaps without talking about Spirit experts. In those places, they were much more common than in the small republic.

What was the work of Alexander, for from what Ashley said was winning second place, apparently in recent years in the Bamboo Valley was born an Alchemist genius who was said to have the potential to be an Alchemist 3-Star

This single I was 14 years old but I already had a Cultivation of the Fourth Elementary level and due to its cultivation speed no doubt in the coming months will enter the Fifth Elementary level.

This was a Gold Core disciple of the Bamboo Valley, that is one of the eight young teachers, the best talents of the Republic under 20 years.

The youngest of them was 14 while the oldest was 16 years old, all being at least in the middle levels of Realm Elementary.

The first thought of hearing this from Ashley was "These punks do not know the real geniuses" for the geniuses I had seen in their past lives these geniuses were not much.

In his previous life, which lasted a little more than three thousand years, he found out about three great geniuses who in less than 200 years managed to enter the Realm Ancestor. That speed of cultivation was very surprising inside the continent and when they no longer found rivals on the continent they left for holy ground.

After that, Alexander never heard from them. After all the news of the holy land, only the transcendent powers could find out what was happening in the holy lands.

Alexander never took this kind of genius in his heart, because when they went further into the continent they will realize that they are just one of many geniuses.

Even in places like the Tree Fire Academy, there would be many more like them, after all, if each branch of Class 11 was allowed to give 9 tickets, and with the innumerable branches in the Region, the students of that the academy will undoubtedly be numerous.

No doubt it would be where all the geniuses of the Region would come together, making this academy very competitive and rich in resources.

Alexander would be interested in going there but because of what Ashley said but for Alexander, he had a big defect and that was that he was founded by great powers. The great powers were not so charitable to found a few academies of this style for free, There had to be something hidden behind the foundation of the opposite Alexander would not see it credible.

Most likely, these powers want to have a place where their disciples can find subordinates or something like that but give the opportunity to geniuses of small background sounded very fairy tale.

Maybe it's just a place to control all the geniuses in the region or simply Alexander was very paranoid but for what he knew in this world nobody gave anything like a free lunch.

But then Alexander began to frown thinking about something, If they gathered the best talents in one place, how will they participate in the tournaments organized by transcendent powers?

Alexander continued thinking about this but he could not avoid finding a good explanation. Since this project had the support of different guilds, it should be known by the transcendent powers, but if the best geniuses in the region do not join their tournaments, this would not that the transcendent powers were like idiots.

Alexander could only think of something. Could these tournaments be canceled? But if these tournaments had been traditions for countless years no matter who the transcendent powers were!

But why?

Alexander could only think of something and say: "Apparently great changes are coming"

In the end, he could only push those ideas to the back of his head thinking that the great powers have much more information than him.

In these two weeks, I could only continue with my routine of refining a few Elemental Aperture pills while listening to the rumors. Every time he went out to eat with his mother and the others, all the conversations are about him.

"Hey, you heard that they say that in our republic thousands of teachers, half Elemental Step, have made their way to Elemental Realm!"

"Yes, yes, not only that hundreds of disciples of the eight great powers have broken through and the number of their If disciples in the Realm Element have increased if they continue to increase they will undoubtedly reach historic highs! "

But other people said:" Haha, you ignorant people do not know why all this is happening, right? "

This made many people show interest and called the man to tell them and he said: "You do not know it but my wife's aunt has a sister-in-law who works in the Alchemists' guild and she told me that a great Alchemist teacher is going through the Republic, apparently for this teacher it's a piece of cake refine pills High-grade Elementary Opening, In just one month to Refined more than three thousand high-grade, Because of this more than three thousand new elementary experts have been born in the Republic Uri! "

The man approached the other men at the table and said," You know how much a single high-grade Elemental opening pill costs, Each one is worth 5 thousand Gold coins! "

" WTF! if they are not that they are not more than 15 million! even if the Guild commissions are taken away, they are still more than 13 million! "

Hearing that, all the men inside the restaurant could not help but swallow.

Most of them in their boring jobs only earned as much as 35 thousand silver coins per year, about 350 gold coins per year!

But that alchemist alone in a month earned what they would earn in more than 40 million!

This was very unfair. There were people who in their lives would never see that amount of money but there were also people who could look down on the gold coins and spend them as if they were water.

This world is definitely not fair at all!

Alexander to see the expressions of these men could only mock, Being an alchemist is not easy, much less advance in that way, People who thought that refining pills were the same as baking a cake, Those people could only be seen with contempt.

That kind of people are the first to give up when the situation becomes difficult without wanting to prosper in life, just being mediocre for all their lives.

Chapter 176: 100?, Trash!

Jefferson began to read the document for hours, since only this document had more than 1500 pages in which he applied much Array theory in addition to many representation Array with new designs that in his life had never seen.

This made Jefferson's eyes light up and he read with more enthusiasm as he digested all the information. At this moment Jefferson could not help but admire that even though, as the page said, this was a 1-Rank Array, it was very profound, making Any master Array would understand.

To understand all this, Master Array would have to have a strong theoretical base in addition to a few years of practice.

Jefferson who was a 6-Rank Array master could not help but admire and immerse himself completely in the manual. This manual was perfect, his writing was simple but complex at the same time. It was certainly written by a great teacher!

Jefferson did not leave his communicating view for more than two days while he finished reading and finished reading, sighing, saying: "If this is a scam, there is no fair business in this world! "

Jefferson was so delighted with the manual that no doubt if Cain would be present in front of him he would beg to worship him as a teacher.

Soon Jefferson closed his eyes and began to digest what the manual said, which was focused on three main pillars.

One, As long as the material from which it is made the most stable and durable space storage space would be. For example, it was not the same to make a space space with a common Gold ring that will last 10-15 years before collapsing than using a 2-Rank jade that could hesitate between 200-500 years before the space inside collapses.

Second, there were two ways to create a storage space, the number one method and the easiest was to trap Void within it while the second and more complicated was to trap Qi in the compressed material until it was unstable causing it to explode creating an independent space but for this method I would have to install innumerable small arrays in the material beforehand to stabilize the independent space before it disappears in a vacuum.

Both were feasible only that the second option would give a more lasting space.

And third, No extraordinary materials were needed to create the space artifacts they only needed to be strengthened but Space-Attributed materials were not needed. At least for storage spaces in which you can not store living beings of meat.

By thinking about this, he realized that this could create a revolution to the world by making common and cheap space artifacts in addition to increasing the importance of the master Array in the world.

It would also help to create new ways to increase the wealth of the Array Masters, In the world in terms of wealth the Alchemists were the first followed by the Craftsmen and blacksmiths leaving in fourth place the master Array, In fact the Muu Clan was a Clan of Alchemists so their wealth was far superior to that of their Down Family.

Jefferson, thinking of this, came up with an idea: "JAJAJA, IF THIS IS KNOWN, THE MISERY SPATIAL ARTIFACT OF 100 CUBIC METERS WOULD NOT BE ANYTHING, THE FAMILY WOULD BE VERY SERIOUSLY SEEN IN RIDICULOUS!"

This came to his mind because among these manuals there was one of 1000 cubic meters! Jefferson bought only the first of nine manuals!

According to the announcement, an Array Master 9-Star was enough to make those Space Artifacts and what Jefferson read in the first manual may be true.

So without hesitation, I buy all the manuals that I could buy with your money, Until I bought the 50 cubic meter manual.

Besides that I look for a few Jades 1-Rank, 2-Rank, 3-Rank, 4-Rank, 5-Rank.

With his status in the Clan he could easily get a few jade rings. of different ranges.

As long as they are not materials superior to 7-Rank there would be no problem to ask for them. After that I take the first Jade ring and started the first step in the creation according to the manual.

The spiritual carving.

Jefferson floated the ring in the middle of his hands creating a semi transparent sphere while small threads approached the ring beginning a nanoscale carving inside the ring.

Jefferson closed his eyes and placed all his concentration on the carving of the different Arrays necessary to create space and reinforcement in the material.

Losing the sense of time Jefferson stalk innumerable little Arrays in the ring what made the jade look full of innumerable small symmetrical paths.

Shortly after finishing the first step he introduced a speck of his Qi in the center of the Ring and compressed it until creating a small explosion that caused the ring to vibrate and emit a small golden light.

Only Asi Jefferson could sigh of relief and wipe the sweat from his forehead, This task was difficult for someone who was not used to this, also had not much to see the cultivation of the person but rather the skill and an absurd concentration.

Jefferson could not help but admire the person who created this method and I doubt if he could create a larger ring but since he had the necessary materials he decided to study the other manuals.

Time passed and quickly two weeks passed.

In these two weeks, Jefferson did not waste his time and studied all the textbooks in depth while being ecstatic. Jefferson felt that in these two weeks he had learned more than in his entire life. Making his theoretical base on the Arrays became even more solid.

Now Jefferson was confident that as long as his cultivation was up to the task, he would definitely pass the Array Master 6-Star exam!

Jefferson was not in a hurry because he knew the family dowry very serious. He was given in 2 years, so he had plenty of time so he spent his time practicing and meditating on these manuals as well as cultivating and reading books. your own family

Now he was more turned on than ever to improve his Arrays and force one day to crush the Anton dynasty!

So he swore to himself that during the next six months he only practiced in seclusion.

meanwhile in Another place in the world.

Alexander was very happy, In the last two weeks despite the appearance of Ashley ruined his plans to milk the cows her family compensated him by buying his pills at 2 million each!

This was an astronomical profit margin. It was rare to find such a rich powerful family so Alexander thought there was something hidden in that generosity so Alexander did not accept it immediately but now he knew because Ashley had been so generous.

Ashley wanted that will participate under his name and that of his branch in the tournament organized by the headquarters in the capital in six months!

Chapter 175: A lonely young man

In another part of Infinitive Globe.

Meanwhile in the central area of ​​the mortal continent Cloud-Moon.

The central area of ​​the continent is divided into three, outer area, inner area, and middle state. It can not be said that the strongest powers were those that inhabited the average state. In these lands, there were forces of the Third and Second Continental Orders but it was also the home of the rulers of the continent, the transcendent powers.

Within these powers existed Clan Down, It was a Clan of Array Masters so everyone in the clan was at least Array Master 5-Star while the leaders of the Clans were even better. Dial Masters 9-Star or Higher.

At this time in that Clan, a young man named Jefferson was sad because his platonic love was going to marry another man. Why?

It all happened a few years ago when the youths of various transcendent powers were hiking on a deadly High Ranked continent.

While the continent is closer to the holy lands richer in Qi will be why some continents were classified as Low, Middle, High having some that were classified as Quasi holy land but were very few.

The Mortal Continent Cloud-Moon was a Continent that was in the Medium-Low Classification ie it was stronger than a Low Continent but it did not have the strength of a Middle Continent.

During that time the Fifth Princess of theDynasty Anton (Su crush) met the third Young Master of the Muu Clan, and they began to relate to each other. Making a couple of days ago their marriage was arranged by their parents.

The saddest thing was that before the princess met the third young teacher, He and She were engaged. but since the princess approached the Muu family the dynasty did everything possible to break their marriage as soon as possible.

Before Jefferson thought that his love was reciprocated but everything changed in that trip, The beautiful princess of his dreams became a cold woman when dealing with him. While little by little they went away.

By doing this the Anton Dynasty paid the price of breaking all relations with their Clan Down but it was worth it since the strength of the Muu family was far superior to that of their family.

Jefferson could only sigh and realize that he had fallen in love with a Gold digger. Only being able to remember her childhood with her as a sweet memory.

A few days ago it was also declared that as a dowry the Muu family would give a space device of 100 cubic meters. Something incredibly expensive and weird.

Since all spacecraft, greater than 50 cubic meters was very expensive, artifacts less than 25 cubic meters were much cheaper and numerous than those with more space.

This was because of the larger the space within the artifact, the higher the failure rate will be higher so no one dared to risk the valuable materials needed to spoil it so many of the space artifacts had spaces that were from 3 cubic meters to 25 cubic meters.

Even he had a 3 cubic meter space device since he was the great-grandson of an Elder of the Clan. But even so, only a space artifact like yours could be worth 1 million spiritual stones of the seventh degree. Not to mention the price of a Spacecraft of 100 cubic meters. Its price would be exorbitant.

Presenting a dowry like this would only be to show off the wealth and strength of the Muu family, since even the Jefferson Down family had only four 25 cubic meter space artifacts used to store the treasures, Cultivation Techniques, so as the spiritual stones of higher grade available in the Clan.

Now Jefferson could only lock himself in his room to investigate and find something to make the Antón Dynasty pay for this humiliation. So I surf the net but all the sites were the same with the same knowledge.

Making a spatial artifact was very difficult and expensive with scarce and rare materials.

This was only until he came to a page recommended by many other users of the Network "The wall of the Wise" in the Deep Network.

According to the users of the Network, On that page, you could find even the biggest secrets of the most famous Idols of the moment while you have enough money.

Jefferson did not have much hope on that page, but he went to the page and searched for "Space Artifact."

He found a lot of garbage but among all, he found nine publications that caught his attention, which were

"How to make your space storage space - 3 cubic meters "

Requirements: Array master of a star.

Price: 1000 stones of ninth grade (Equivalents in Martial coin)

"How to make your space Storage space - 5 cubic meters"

Requirements: Array master of two stars.

Price: 1000 stones of eighth grade (Equivalents in Martial coin)

"How to make your space Storage space - 10 cubic meters"

Requirements: Array three-star master.

Price: 1000 seventh grade stones (Equivalents in Martial coin)

"How to make your space Storage space - 20 cubic meters"

Requirements: Array master of four stars.

Price: 1000 sixth grade stones (Equivalents in Martial coin)

"How to make your space Storage space - 50 cubic meters"

Requirements: Array master of five stars.

Price: 1000 stones of fifth-degree (Equivalents in Martial coin)

"How to make your space Storage space - 100 cubic meters"

Requirements: Array master of six stars.

Price: 1000 stones of fourth-degree (Equivalents in Martial coin)

"How to make your space Storage space - 200 cubic meters"

Requirements: Array master of seven stars.

Price: 1000 stones of the third degree (Equivalents in Martial coin)

"How to make your space Storage space - 500 cubic meters"

Requirements: Array master of eight stars.

Price: 1000 stones of the second degree (Equivalents in Martial coin)

"How to make your space Storage space - 1000 cubic meters"

Requirements: Array master of nine stars.

Price: 1000 stones of the first degree (Equivalents in Martial coin)

All were published the same day and the prices do not seem as a scam, For someone like Jefferson 1000 stones of the ninth grade was nothing, Only their monthly payment was of several stones of Fifth Grade so giving a thousand ninth-grade spiritual stones were nothing.

So he decided to buy the manual on how to make a space of 3 cubic meters, so even if it were a scam would not suffer much.

But if it was a scam, I just wanted that bastard to enjoy his money.

So I quickly buy the Martial Coins to make the transaction and buy the manual.

Soon I download an.Exe files in its communicator and install it. To avoid the piracy of the information bought in the wall of the wise the information is encrypted and superimposed on the communicator software to enable the copy of this, by all means, making it only readable on the device on which it was downloaded first. In other words, it made the information irremovable by all means.

Soon Jefferson saw the first page of the Document with the title of the manual along with its author:

"Kain Crane"

But what seemed strange to him was that he did not say his the rank of Array Master, was it not High?

Normally the Array masters even said their rank before their own name but this person "Kain Crane" seemed indifferent to their own ranks.

This could not avoid making Jefferson curious about the book and raising his expectations.

Chapter 174: Double my fortune.

Two hours later.

In a café in Pale City.

Anna, Audrey, Helena, and Karen were resting while they ate some desserts and relaxed with a coffee.

It had been several months since they arrived in Pale City and they could not believe that this city was so magical having hundreds of things that in their native Kingdom would have been something exclusive of the rich and noble but here even the simplest settler would have the same luxuries and in fact, the rich had other great luxuries.

This was a big blow for Anna and Audrey but the worst was that they found out that only Pale City's economy was ten times bigger than the economy of Alba and Snow Kingdom united!

Besides that everything was much easier here, they had banks and all kinds of services. There were also large food markets so food was no problem while one worked and had a good salary.

This was just a small city like many other countless cities of the Republic, since only the Uri Republic was 100 times bigger than The Alba kingdom is almost twice as big as a northern state!

As far as Anna knew the capitals of the northern states could only be classified in the Uri Republic as middle cities!

This was a hard blow for Anna who had never left her Region. Now she could only feel small and insignificant.

"Bzzzz"

Soon her communicate rang and Anna saw him with interest. These days he only received notices from Banco Alpha with large amounts of withdrawals and deposits but when he saw this deposit he could not avoid seeing the number with disbelief.

[Deposit Monetary Account 109-302-22-7-xxxxxxxxxxxx]

[Amount: 20,000,000 Gold Coins]

[Type: Bank Transfer]

"Pfffff"

Anna undoubtedly let her coffee out of the Mouth watching her communicator in a static way. Without believing what he saw.

20 million!

Before reaching the Uri Republic her fortune was a total of 15 million gold coins but now only her son in twenty days won nearly 30 million gold in a few days!

Double of my fortune!

Her son was only 11 years old and was already much richer than herself. Now he felt that all her years as a merchant were nothing but jokes.

In her native land, there were people with that amount of fortune but they were all people who had accumulated this fortune through decades of efforts like the old Walter who had been working for more than 50 years to create a nine-digit fortune. In other words, those who had that kind of fortune were all old farts who worked all their lives for it.

But here the definition of that fortune was relative because people who had a nine-digit fortune were numerous even if it was a nine-digit the fortune of white gold coins.

That is to say that her 15 million here in the mortal countries were just a drop in the ocean and nothing more.

In recent days Alexander had told her and she had also investigated that only the ruling powers were super rich since only in taxes each one earned 10,000 million Gold! without talking about their own businesses scattered throughout the Republic.

Only then did Anna understand why even in those powers the Elemental experts were very common and as numerous as the clouds.

The financial and natural resources available to his disciples were very rich!

Especially the four clans that from what Anna found out every time a woman from her clan was pregnant gave her a mixed embryo pill that helped clean impurities from the embryo with only one goal, boost the innate the talent of her descendants. So if your last name was one of the four rulings clans, it is safest for you to have no problem entering the Elemental Realm!

The other powers did the same but only if they were second-generation disciples, that is, children of Elders, Deacons or similar.

This was because that pill was a 2-Rank pill valued at 10,000 gold coins per pill and that alone the price of the middle-grade pill.

Among the "Mundane" powers only a few could afford one or two of these pills would be very limited because this pill should be exported from abroad and the ruling powers greatly restrict the income of these pills so if one wanted to buy one of these Pills would have to buy it on the black market at double the price or go abroad for one and bring it back.

Ten thousand could sound very little for the great fortunes of the Republic but most of those fortunes had great families and when it was said big was great that as far as Anna knew only the youngest generation of each ruling power could reach a whopping of 15 thousand members minimum.

Since there were tens of thousands of external disciples, Thousands of internal disciples, Hundreds of central disciples and dozens of Golden Core disciples.

And if each of the babies got an embryo pill each power would have to spend 150 million gold coins! Something very expensive.

After all, the powers did not want to divide into pie in nine pieces instead of Eight and if there was another power that could equal them or they would have to exterminate it or give part of the benefits of the taxes.

Anna did not know what her son had done, but to get paid 20 million, the most certain thing is that she did something great.

In these last days, Alexander made Karen buy several industrial machines with some books of varied themes and Audrey bought several types of herbs, while Ella and Helena went to the craft guild to go to order more than 5,000 Array flags of 1- Rank.

Anna thought that all the artisans in the City were working on this. Since the Craftsmen's Guild divided the order into one hundred missions of 50 flags each.

Each flag was worth a thousand gold coins so Alexander had spent half a million on the flags alone, plus everything Alexander had spent on all the industrial equipment. In total, he could have spent more than a million gold coins.

The rest of that money, Alexander invested in future contracts on spiritual stones.

Anna was surprised at the idea of ​​free-floating of the banks on the spiritual stones.

The banks have two prices when it came to spiritual stones, the sale price and the purchase price. The retail price is the lowest and the purchase price the lowest.

The purchase/sale price of the ninth grade stones was:

Buy: 9.90 (9 gold coins and 99 silver coins)

Sale: 10.02 (10 gold coins and 2 silver coins)

Anna did not know why Alexander had asked that she made futures contracts with the bank, It was as if she knew that the value of the spiritual stones will increase, but how is this possible?

Chapter 173: tell me and I'll leave.

Six days passed quickly and in Pale City,, a child was delighted to see the herbs in front of him.

It had been 20 days since he applied for the herbs to the Alchemist's Guild and the Guild had it done, having to request these herbs from other branches of the Middle Cities.

Normally the branches could make things difficult among the purchases of resources but since these herbs were useless to them, neither in the Kingdom's capital did they have a 1-Star Alchemist High-Rank Peak to refine those herbs in the Spirit Revival Pill.

The Revival of the Spirit pill was intended to Help a person Advance to Spirit Realm!

A low-grade pill would give you a 20% success in advance while those in the middle grade would give you 40% success, A High would give 60%, Superior 80%, and a supreme 90%!

Alexander in the last days had realized that he had underestimated the Republic and that he was wrong with the number of experts half a step Spirit.

Previously he thought that this republic will have maximum days of these experts but now he realized that there were publicly 16 experts half a step. With the experience of Alexander could say that these powers at least hiding 1 or 2 more so the number of experts could reach 32 without counting the Rogue experts in the republic.

So the number of half step spirit could easily reach about 40 experts!

It was four times what Alexander expected but did not care, since the occult experts of the powers were mostly people who were nearing the end of their lifetimes waiting to enter the next Realm through which seclusion.

So the active experts of the Republic could be counted as 16 plus Rogue growers!

Alexander did not care, he only surprised him because apparently, the cow was fatter than before.

Alexander still had a doubt, How much would you pay to get an expert Spirit?

So without hesitation, he went to Refine the revival pills of the Spirit. Its cultivation was limited so it would take more than four hours to refine these pills and a lot of effort. You could say that since reincarnation this was the hardest pill that had been refined so after refining it all finished pale and full of sweat. He had to take a break and eat a few pure Qi pills to relieve the stress of the body.

After recovering, Alexander made an auction request on the guild servers but after doing so an assistant came to his room with a message: "The guild master wants to see you"

Under the guidance of the assistant, he quickly arrived at the Guild Master's office Without waiting for anything Alexander and the an assistant entered the office of the Master of the Guild.

Where a beautiful middle-aged woman waited for them, Alexander was not surprised that the guild teacher was a woman because in recent years the guilds have been concerned about the inclusion of gender due to the pressure of feminine powers so in the majority of unions in the high commands would have a ratio of 40-60 or 50-50.

The woman at her desk saw Alexander as the assistant said goodbye to Alexander: "So you are the mysterious child who has been refining in my guild"

Alexander smiled and said: "Hahaha Guild master, do not look so serious. I'm not the only one who has benefited from the guild, but your branch has had a great profit with my pills or am I wrong? "

Upon hearing that, the woman could not help but smile in a forced way, what Alexander said was true. His small guild branch only sold 0-Rank drugs so the financial resources of the guild were very small without talking about the profits. These twenty days could easily replace two years of guild activities.

Since these days they had won more than 1 million Gold coins if Alexander stayed in the guild for a year they could easily earn more than 10 million Gold!

This was equal to the income of a middle-city guild, so if the Guild Master said she was not happy to have Alexander in her guild, she would obviously lie. The guilds were not designed to earn money so they did not earn as much as the commercial companies.

So the majority of the wealth was not concentrated in the institution but in its members. The guilds only saw enough money to buy medicinal herbs and maintain the salary of all the members of the institution.

So the more profits a guild could have, the more herbs they could buy and the more staff, as well as a group of private adventurers to clean the dungeons instead of placing missions in the adventurer's guild.

But as the guilds only earned by commissions. This means that the better the pills that are sold through their guilds, the higher the commission will be.

It was not the same to charge 10% of 100 that of 10 thousand but everything depends on the nearby alchemists, The Alchemists of Pale City were mostly Alchemy Apprentices while the 1-Star Alchemists did not reach 20 or so and all they only refined pills for their own powers so they did not sell their pills to the guild.

The only 1-Star Alchemist in the Mid-range in the City was her, but she was too busy with guild business to refine pills to sell and her salary was not bad at all. So I did not need to refine pills to get the resources needed to advance in alchemy.

So, thinking this far, she could not help sighing and seeing the child. According to the reports of the last days, this child mass-produced pills like High-Grade Elemental Opening, something that even she could not do easily.

I also knew that this child had ordered all the sets for Qi spirit Pills something that only the Alchemists 1-Star Rank High Peak could refine. As Alexander did not sell them to the guild, only one possible explanation could prove right. These pills were for his own use.

So the middle-aged woman said: "My name is Ashley Cordner."

Upon hearing this, Alexander's smile faded and he could not help but turn black. This was the classic scene of a powerful family seeking to steal valuable assets. The Cordner family was one of the eight ruling factions so although this was Sun Sect territory they could easily do whatever they wanted as long as they did not get involved in Sun Sect affairs.

Alexander saw Ashley and said, "I can sell the Spirit Revival pills to your family in exchange for one million Gold per pill but I want the payment to be through ninth or eighth-grade stones, I also want 30 sets for Qi Spirit Pills "

Ashley saw Alexander with Shock, could not believe that such a small child could draw that conclusion by simply stating his name, This the child was too cunning!

But after that Alexander started to put a lot of pressure on Ashley made her feel uncomfortable.

"Gulp" involuntarily could not help swallowing a little spit to feel that pressure, This pressure was almost equal to that of his expert half spirit!

In the last twenty days, I had been consuming 200 Transcendent Grade Qi Spirit Pills that could be equal to 100 thousand pure Qi pills!

In just 20 days Alexander had consumed 2 million gold coins!

These days were very productive and you could see that the best resources could give better results.

Now Alexander had 99 Acupuncture points transformed into spiritual Qi so he only needed 9 more points to enter the Elementary Realm, taking Alexander accounts needed 4 Spirit Qi pills to convert an acupuncture point.

4 pills might sound like very little but you should know that an ordinary person would only need one Spirit Qi pill to advance to the half-step peak while Alexander would need 432 pills to advance to the half-step peak!

This meant that Alexander could store 432 times more Qi than ordinary people on his meridians!

Thinking of this Alexander could not help but take a breath of cold air at such an idea without believing it. This was because of neither Helena nor a divine beast could store so much qi in its meridians.

This was because when I asked Helena about how many pills she needed to convert her acupuncture points she told him about 80 pills!

Not only that but the purple gold in his bone marrow already filled 99% of it, Alexander supposed that with 20 other Spirit Qi pills of transcendent grade could completely fill the bone marrow.

When Alexander was in the Fifth level Gathering Qi could easily defeat a ninth level expert, Those were four whole levels but what they did not know is that while he was a newly promoted half-step expert Alexander could easily defeat him.

Now he had 99 acupuncture points transformed, making it much stronger than the experts here who only had it made it much stronger than the experts of a miserable republic like this one. Even if he was an expert half step Spirit his number of acupuncture points was like between 8 to 16.

Those were the advantages of a better cultivation technique.

Alexander saw Ashley and said coldly: "Do not think I'm afraid of your miserable Cordner family even if they have 10 half step experts they would not be rivals for me, this is a take it or leave it deal. If you want to use your position to press Tell me and leave this branch and go to the branch of your worst enemy "

This left Ashley speechless! I never hope that this the situation will progress in this way!

Chapter 172: New Rich

Soon two weeks passed and meanwhile in the Kingdom of Alba.

Today the Alba family closed business for more than 20 million Gold annually for the next 30 years with the Brook family and their associates. Having a total of 600 million Gold!

This was equal to more than 4 thousand years of regular family income!

Adam finally understood why Alexander told him that his family was really poor and could not help but agree that he could not help but take pride in his grandson at the idea of using the Brook family's trading connections. This made it much easier to have distribution channels for his products.

In business, sometimes the connections were more important then the initial capital, since even if you have a good product if you don't have someone to sell it to, what good is it?

When Adam was offered this business at first it was a big shock because for him even 100 gold coins is a big amount of money but it seemed that for the chambers of commerce in the northern states it was only a small sum.

Alexander once said: "The greater your strength, the greater your wealth".

When Adam thought of this he was scared because apparently the Brook family and the other families in their alliance had only twenty-five half-step experts making them consider themselves only a small family in the northern states.

Their turnover was more than 2 billion Gold coins each quarter, making it more than 8 billion in a Year!

When Adam saw his income of 150,000 coins a year he was proud but now in front of those giants he didn't have the face to brag.

Before he was not ashamed to have less income than his neighbors after all his reign nor did he have a century of existence while his neighbors had a deep base of a thousand years.

In fact as far as he knew his neighbors had an annual income of over 400,000 gold coins, almost three times his.

At first, he had not understood why until Alexander told him that his beloved Kingdom produces only low-value agricultural goods while other countries have a better environment so he gave birth to better natural treasures and experts.

For example, in the sail empire, there was an entity called pill palace which was the largest alchemy entity in the region. Having a large number of alchemists in the region and being driven by the imperial family, many people from other countries make great journeys to buy pills and potions, having a large profit margin.

Well that was until today that the Alba family would launch the "Alba commerce".

These would be a series of stores of a great variety of goods distributed by all the Cities, Towns and Villages of the Kingdom.

Adam was currently building the headquarters in the Royal The city of the Kingdom which would take some time, so he decided to use the time by hiring people with an idea: "Improve the roads of the Kingdom".

Roads were the veins that lead to the heart (The Royal City) so Adam wanted them to be the best possible roads for trade and job creation.

Right now the road network was very deteriorated, as this was the work of the former governor of the Sail empire who only prioritized the primary roads to the cities for the mobilization of the army and its provisions making the secondary roads to villages and the tertiary roads to Villages non-existent.

This made many towns and villages were very secluded from the Kingdom, if not because they are self-sustainable in their food would have died. In fact, there were several ghost towns in the Kingdom that the inhabitants abandoned for various geographical complications so Adam decided to invest his new fortune in a first Network on the roads of the Kingdom.

Adam had an idea. The roads between cities had to have Four lanes of Ida and Four of coming, while the secondary must have three and the tertiary two lanes.

When Adam presented this idea to the Minister of Infrastructure he could only win a big cry: "THESE CRAZY, That type of project is too expensive, The Minister of Finance will certainly oppose this. Just think of the amount of labor required, Creation of bridges, tunnels, Purchase of land, Flattening of land. Not to mention that this project would take a few decades!"

Adam was not offended at all as he knew that the former kingdom Alba could not be allowed but now it was feasible because of what he said: "Quiet old Hai, I am only thinking about the future, I want you to make a plan to create roads to be realized in the next decade, First, you have to concentrate on improving the main roads and then we will build the other roads but I want a plan that goes through all the Cities, Towns and Villages of the Kingdom without excluding any!

When Old Hai heard that he could only touch his temples and see Adam saying: "You know how much it can cost what you ask me? This can cost more than 15 million Gold, If it was cheap we would have done it already instead of keeping the roads in a decent state".

When I finished listening to old Hai Adam he started thinking and said, "Then everything would cost like thirty million, wouldn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Old Hai could only see Adam with penetrating eyes but in the end, he froze and nodded. Since normally in this type of works, there were always delays and other problems so it would not be uncommon for the final price to double or triple.

That's how public works were.

Adam nodded and said: "Quiet, I can assure you that the Minister of Finance will give you the corresponding money, So prepare the acquisition of raw materials and prepare the hiring of people, I want this project to be completed in ten years" Adam stood in front of Old Hai with an expression of confidence and said: "In ten years I want the Kingdom of Alba to have the best roads in the Region".

To which old Hai could only repopulate, He knew the old finance minister very well and knew that he was a cheapskate who tightened the belt of the Kingdom very hard. Before he had even rejected several of the King's proposals just because they were too expensive for the Kingdom.

So he did not have much hope that the old man would authorize this project because even if the cost was divided into ten years the cost would still be double the tax revenue.

Adam smiled weakly and left the infrastructure minister's office to walk a few aisles. He saw that no one was present and made a heavy chest appear on his hands and opened the door of an office saying: "Reiji! how are you old friend?

On the other side was a bearded old man looking at documents on his desk who looked up and said, "Adam, what do you want?"

Adam placed the chest on the floor and said, "Reiji, don't be so hard on a friend! I remember when we were in war you always called me "Big Brother Alba". What happened to that young man?"

Reiji only saw Adam and said: "What's the use of talking about the past, Now I have to work for your brat and wipe his ass".

Adam began to laugh, All the current ministers were his old friends who helped him to ascend to the throne in chaotic times so none of them showed him the respect of a king and called him by his name but so he felt more comfortable so he did not criticize him.

Adam saw Reiji and said: "Old friend I brought you a good gift! ”

Reiji only raised his eyebrows and Adam waited no longer to open the chest showing a messy pile of 10,000 white gold coins!

This caused Reiji to show an expression of astonishment and he saw the chest with disbelief. In his life, he had never seen so many white gold coins together!

Even being the finance minister he had only seen a few hundred at most in his life but now he was seeing tens of thousands!

Without hesitation, Reiji saw Adam and said: "Who did you kill?"

then this made Adam's face shrink involuntarily, Hey brother I'm a good guy, How can you think I can only get that money in a dirty way! then

Chapter 171: Little Uncle

While Alexander was finishing the herb paperwork he had just ordered, Alexander gave his mother's card and paid 40,000 coins in one installment while the other 43,000 would be paid within thirty days.

This was a very common deal with the guilds, The alchemist would give a 50% advance while the guild mobilized its resources to get the herbs requested by the alchemists. Having a special clause.

**All pills produced within this agreement will be sold to the Guild.

This small City had in stock only sets for Spirit pills and Elemental Opening Pills but if one wanted sets for Spirit Revival Pills it would have to apply to a higher branch like a medium city or big city, which would take time to process.

After all in all the Uri Republic there was no alchemist capable of refining such a pill. Many guilds only have these herbs accumulating dust due to the closed market.

So it would take two weeks to process everything for Alexander in exchange for a thousand coins.

Even so Alexander was happy for his last agreement and quickly went to his Alchemy room seeing the glittering this pilot whale could not prevent his eyes from lighting up as with this cauldron it would be very easy to refine the pills.

After this he spent more than two hours refining a set of Spirit Qi pills of transcendent grade.

Looking at the pills Alexander could not help but sigh: "I finally have a few decent resources".

a comparison of the pure Qi junk pill this medium grade Qi spirit pill had a hundred times more Qi inside than the pure Supreme Grade Qi pill. Not to mention the degree of purity of the Qi. They were like heaven and earth.

This supreme grade pill could have about Five Hundred times as much inside as the best pills that Alexander had taken refuge in these years but also the difficulty was higher.

Only the alchemists of a high-rank star could refine this pill. Because of this although this branch of the guild had sets they could only accumulate dust until the branch of the capital requested them.

Seeing the ten pills in her hands she decided to try them and put a pill in her mouth.

He immediately felt a large amount of Qi flooding his body, turning his 25th point into spiritual Qi.

These were undoubtedly the best pills to turn the worldly Qi into spiritual Qi!

The only bad thing is that with her current ability she could not afford to take pills every day.

In alchemy, certain levels could be skipped if one had enough skill and slowed down the refinement process.

For example, Alexander took two hours to refine these pills while if his cultivation base were sufficient to refine these pills it would only take him thirty minutes and would be much less stressful for the body.

So with Alexander's ability, he could only define refine one set of Spirit Qi pills per day. The rest of the time would be spent refining Elemental

Opening Pills to make money.

In another two hours I refine 40 high-grade Elemental Opening pills having a net profit of 180 000 gold coins.

The Alchemists if that was a profitable profession, Now because of the amount asked the staff to come to your room where they took their pills to prevent people from finding out that there were more than 50 pills of the same kind on the market. This would make the value of the pills go down so they had to wait and sell one or two pills every certain time intervals or sell them in other cities.

But all these problems of selling pills were the business of the Guild and not Alexander. As far as Alexander knew they hired a lot of sales experts so he didn't have to worry about it.

He also advised that for the next twenty days he would need ten sets of Opening Elemental pills.

This surprised the managers while they thought it was over 2000 pills!

These pills would give birth to two thousand Elementary experts! this number of experts even if they were only level one experts would still be a force to be reckoned with, it must be said that in a small town like Pale City the number of Elementary experts does not exceed one hundred.

But now this kid said he could refine a hundred of these pills a day!

They didn't believe it until Alexander paid for 190 sets in advance with the money that the guild had just transferred to him.

But when they thought about it. The guild transferred 180 thousand a few moments ago but Alexander made a transfer of 19 thousand to the guild.

Soon all of the guilds mobilized to reach their stores and see if they had the number of sets otherwise they would have to place an application in the guild of Adventurers or ask other nearby branches.

Alexander without caring about all these matters left the guild and when he left it he felt some shadows following it and thought: "It seems that the guild values me, hahaha".

Meanwhile somewhere else in the cosmos.

Pa!

A young girl looking like a teenager looked furious and couldn't help slamming her door when she returned from her family reunion.

Followed by her a middle-aged man with a woman followed her with dark expressions on her face.

That young woman could not help but shout out loud: "Damn first branch, we are always repressed, even my great-grandfather and ancestor could not do anything".

The middle-aged man could only sigh and say, "That's normal after all the ancestor of the first branch is stronger than our ancestor."

(Note: I don't mean cultivation)

But the teenager still said, "But it's still unfair, that space device was mine but I had to give it to that first branch trash!"

Just thinking about it, the young woman could not avoid showing an expression of anger as if she wanted to eat alive the old man who told her that she had to deliver her space artifact.

To which the middle-aged man could only reply: "Don't worry, the ancestor told me that he will buy you another one as soon as possible. Now you can only worry about the Clan tests in 30 years, all the main and secondary families of the starfield will participate".

The young woman barely calmed down with the promise of her ancestor and said curiously, "How can all Starfield members participate?"

The middle-aged man said: "The Clan will activate the Mystic profound Grand Array is an Array that can encompass entire Starfields, as long as it has a soul registered at the birth of our Clan and has a bone ageless then thirty thousand years its soul will automatically connect to the Array to participate in the test of the Clan".

Hearing this, the beautiful face of the young woman showed an O, so she knew her Clan was only a secondary branch of a bigger Clan, if you added the members of all the branches and main family the members of the entire clan were innumerable. So much so that it was said that the Main family had its own complete world as its base.

high-rankWhile branches like hers lived in great world artifacts that imitated the worlds in the form of large palaces floating in the void of space. Just thinking about this he couldn't help but sigh but soon he thought about something and said: "That doesn't mean that my little uncle might show up for that evaluation!”

Chapter 170: money like water!

All the guilds among their universal rules had one rule.

The Closed Market.

This meant that all the branches of the guilds could only sell and exchange resources among themselves.

In other words, the Class 12 guilds could only exchange resources with the Class 12 guilds.

Class 11 with 11 and so on.

This was done so that stronger and richer countries would not make use of guilds to divert and buy resources from poorer and weaker countries.

The guilds were not for this. So he disapproved of this practice. The only thing these guilds wanted was for their profession to flourish and to do so they limited as much as possible the resources of each branch. If the richer countries wanted to do this, they would have to set up their own private organizations.

First what one needed most was talent and the second thing was that if one wanted to continue advancing on that path one had to look for greater heights and deeper waters otherwise they would just stay in their comfort area and stagnate.

Because of this the guilds encourage large numbers of contests and competitions to motivate their members to mobilize.

Listening to Alexander's answer the man was surprised because if he auctioned it on the guild's servers then he could make double or more profits but I don't question it, That was not his job, he quickly took the Jade jar made the paperwork, called his manager to authorize the transaction and made the transaction of 45,000 gold coins to the account linked to Alexander's account in the name of Anna Webber.

The economic resources of the guilds were not to be underestimated and due to their liquidity their members undoubtedly sold them their pills at 90% of the market price while the other 10% would remain as profits and payment of the guild staff.

Seeing all this, everyone present quickly left the Guild and went to their families or powers to inform their leaders. Many of Them were stuck in the Elemental half step peak for many years and with that pill added to their accumulation they could certainly penetrate the Elemental Realm!

In each city, country or region there were four types of powers. The first order, second order, third order and unclassified.

,In this small city there are only 5 powers of the first order, 24 of the second order, 108 powers of the third order while the unclassified powers were innumerable.

All the powers of the first order had more than a dozen people in the middle domain of the Realm Elemental.

The second order had one person in the Realm Elemental.

Whereas the third order powers have at least 12 people in the half step of the Elemental.

While the unclassified powers had people in the Qi Gathering Realm. The powers that had only people in the Body Refining had no right to speak in the affairs of this city.

Most powers with only Body Refining experts will be forced to go to the towns where they would be a third or second order power depending on their strength.

If one wanted to have even a residence in a small town like Pale City his family or power would at least have to have an expert in the Realm of Qi Gathering.

This was because in a town within the republic a third-order power consisted of a power that had experts in ninth level or Peak Body Refining, a power that was not worth mentioning in even the smallest cities.

In fact there were Elemental half-step powers in the villages but they were all experts appointed by the Lords city to ensure peace in the villages.  A first-order power in a small city was not the same as a first-order power in a medium or large city.

For example the first order powers of the Uri Republic were the Eight ruling powers which had countless elementary experts and comparing them to the strength of a first order power of a small city like Pale City was very foolish.

That said, many of the alchemists present came from third order powers of the City so they did not have much authority but if their powers increased to a second order force, the treatment would be like day and night.

After all, if getting one of those pills would be almost the same as getting one of their leaders to advance to the Elemental Realm!

Everyone was excited that everyone was running at their fastest possible speeds to their bases. They had no time to lose as the second or first degree powers had a much thicker wallet than theirs.

The only good thing was that in the second order powers there were always internal struggles among the greatest experts so if any of them tried to buy those pills for their descendants they certainly repressed them as long as possible.

This was not the best for their power but it was the best for their branches.

So their only real concerns were the powers of the first order. These powers had special channels to get the news so they could only hope that these powers repressed each other enough for their powers to buy.

After all, for the powers, it was much better that 10 new powers of second order were born than their rivals were strengthened but the third order powers also have their internal problems...

Simply put, these pills will create chaos in the city.

Aside from all this, the middle-aged man in charge of Alexander finished all the paperwork and said to Alexander: "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Alexander saw the old man and said, "How much does an Alchemy room cost?"

The man said indifferently: "It depends on the size and the floor".

Alexander thought about it and said, "I want a room with a magic cauldron Elemental Cloud."

The man nodded and began to see on the computer saying: "There is a room available on the 55th floor that meets all your requirements but the price is 100 gold coins per day".

Alexander nodded and said, "I want 20 days, plus that I also want ten crystals of manna, ten sets to refine Elemental Opening Pills, 10 sets to refine Spirit Qi pills and I want one set to refine Spirit Revival Pills".

Listening to the last part of Alexander's request the man could not prevent his face from creating spasms that were because Alexander's bill easily reached 83,000 gold coins.

Each manna crystal was worth a thousand gold coins.

Each Elemental Opening set was worth one hundred gold coins.

But each Spirit Pills set was worth five thousand gold coins.

Now the only set of Spirit Revival Pills alone was worth more than twenty thousand gold coins!

This child treated money like water!

Chapter 169: Big benefits

Alexander thus took a bottle of Jade taking his 10 High-Grade pills with a smile.

The private exam is worth 1000 gold coins of which 60% goes to the examiner, 10% to the medicinal ingredients and 30% as a commission from the guilds for the use of their facilities.

That is to say that the costs of making one Elemental Opening Pill were 100 Gold Coins! Not counting the cost of the cauldron.

But this investment was profitable because only one High Grade Elemental Opening Pill could be worth more than 5000 Gold coins, meaning that with a single set of herbs one could grow one's fortune 500 times.

Not to mention whether one refines a higher grade Spiritual Opening Pill or Supreme, These pills will be priced between 5 to 6 figures without hesitation.

Why the high price?

Simple, Because the success rate of an average Alchemist was 40-60% and they were an excellent Alchemist 80-90% but alchemists with a success rate of 100% existed but were as rare as Phoenix feathers. Since very few of the alchemists will focus on honing their skills before moving forward. Not to mention the resulting degree of success.

(Note: This is within your profession range, i.e. a 2 star Alchemist will have a success rate of 100% in one star pills but will have 40-60% in two star pills.)

Being an Alchemist was very profitable but also the expenses were very astronomical. If there were big businesses that really earned more were the powers or families that were dedicated to growing spiritual herbs because in that market there was always a lot of demand but very little supply.

The only bad thing, was that to have something like this people have to have a special method to accelerate the growth of herbs in addition to having knowledge of agriculture or have people with wood constitution to accelerate growth.

Making the people who can enter that market very small and the big profits out for very few people.

If Alexander wanted to be a supplier of medicinal herbs for the alchemists but just like the great powers he would first see if he could meet their needs and if there was anything extra he would sell it.

With this in mind, Alexander decided to sell the pills in the same guild.

Without hesitation he left the room and wandered through the guild, came to the would do of attention to ask for his emblem of Alchemy Apprentice.

This was a great honor for many but for Alexander it was only a state that allowed him to buy resources easier.

Nothing special.

He soon reached the haria where this was relatively full because the Alchemy in this City is much more flourishing than a desolate land like the Dawn Kingdom.

In this great hall there were men and women of all ages.

On the other side of the box there were men and women attending where the longest lines were with the most beautiful or handsome female or male assistants.

Alexander did not care and saw through all the attention windows until he found an empty window with no one being attended to.

He soon saw a middle-aged man on the other side of the window, serious and intimidating, waiting for someone to approach him.

So he quickly went to his window but Alexander had a dark expression because he did not reach the window.

So he just had to climb up and hang on to the window and complain: "Because they exclude children, children are alchemists too. Make a children's window!"

The man just looked at the child in the window and said: "What do you want? Your grandfather sent you to buy medicinal ingredients or what?"

Alexander showed an angry expression and said, "My grandfather? My grandfather is busy fucking your wife, hpmh".

"That's impossible."

"Eh why?"

"I don't have a wife"

"Then your daughter."

"I don't have one either."

"Mother?"

"Dead"

"Sister?"

"I'm an only child"

Soon this couple started talking attracting people's attention after all there was a boy arguing with a middle-aged man as if they were two old fogies cursing each other.

But soon Alexander felt his bandages over come out of his face. This damned old man responded to all his curses as if nothing had happened. He was no doubt an expert at exasperating people.

So he surrendered and said with clenched teeth, "I came for my alchemy apprentice emblem and sold a few pills."

Hearing this the man could not help but show a faint expression of surprise but quickly returned to his serious expression by asking: "Name?".

"Alexander Alba"

After this the man saw on the computer and went by the emblem corresponding to High Grade Apprentice.

But seeing the boy receive the emblem the man could not help but see with curiosity Alexander an 11 year old boy being an Alchemy Apprentice no doubt in a couple of years he could become a 1 star Alchemist and perhaps become a 2 star Alchemist.

After this I ask: "What pills do you have for sale?"

Alexander answered dryly: "10 High Grade Elementary opening pills".

Everyone in the room had a good ear and when they heard that the whole room was quiet turning to see Alexander in the window.

Alexander took out his jade bottle with ten pills inside and placed it in front of the counter while the man couldn't help but show an astonished face on his face.

This had made him lose his composure.

After all this was a High Quality Elemental Opening Pill!

This was something that even the Alchemists of a star would cost to elaborate, Although it was classified as a 0 Rank pill it was only due to the ingredients as to elaborate it at the very least the skill of a Low one Star Alchemists. Only to make a medium quality pill but with a low success rate.

Not to mention High Grade pills. Because of this in the current market of the Republic the pills of this class were very scarce and if they appeared. They would not do it in a small city like Pale city.

I would do it in a Big City or the Capital of the Republic.

In the Republic there were countless growers trapped in the Elemental half step so every time an Elemental Opening pill appeared it would certainly sell almost immediately even if it was a medium quality pill. Not to mention a High Quality Pill.

With these pills it is most likely that ten more elementary experts will be born in the Republic.

The man recovered quickly and said: "Auction or direct sale".

Alexander didn't think much of it and said, "Direct Selling."

Alexander was thinking about long-term profits. If the auctions meant they were scarce so he would have to limit the number of units to create the illusion of scarcity but at this time he had other plans with which he would squeeze the big local powers.

Why concentrate on the miserly profit that a few Elemental Opening pills can give if I can earn much more with the auction of a few Spirit Revival pills?

True wealth was only made when the right people were squeezed out.
