Immortal Cultivator of Wizard Academy

Chapter 253 Falling Energy Prices

"You're not kidding?"

Dorothy fully understood the meaning and confirmed again with a shocked expression.

"Well, we need money to maintain the household expenses." Tai'an explained in a completely different channel.

"How big of a place do you want?"

"The bigger the better, preferably near the new site of Dawn Church for easier management."

……

To the west of the royal capital, on the outskirts of the city.

Looking around, hundreds of thousands of acres of empty farmland are all assets of the Violet Royal Family.

Considering the contribution made by the Church of Dawn during the plane invasion war. King Alfred approved the grant of three thousand acres of land.

"That's right, treat it as your daughter's dowry."

The retainers did not raise many objections. After all, if it hadn't been for the divine intervention, the entire capital might not have been saved. Moreover, the Eastern Continent is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is far less valuable than imagined.

If it wasn't near the royal capital, I'm afraid people would just laugh at me if I took it out.

On average, about 300 acres, 10,000 square meters of land can be used to build a spirit gathering array, with a core area of ​​about 20 meters in diameter.

Tai'an spent several days building one and silently waited for the results.

There are about twelve thousand energy-storing magic stones piled into a hill.

"Will it really be effective?" Less than five minutes after activating the spirit gathering array, Dorothy hurriedly picked up a piece from the ground, barely feeling the change in the magic contained in it: "How long will it take?"

"Let's wait and see again in a few hours..." Tai'an said to be patient. Take out a straw futon and spread it on the ground, sit cross-legged and meditate.

The main thing is to pose and bask in the sun.

The unique practice posture caused a strange look in Dorothy's eyes, and she thought in her mind: "Can this speed up the practice...or is the mat made by him very special?"

Hua Yun brought people nearby and began to set up tents. Mercenaries from the Yingxue Adventure Group would be guarding the area. There is currently no manpower allocated for construction. The Dawn Church's residence must be completed before the cold wave arrives.

time flies.

The floating clouds in the sky quietly block the sunlight. The silver magic car slowly landed.

Taiya arrived and walked around curiously, a little disgusted by the soft soil sticking to her boots, and consciously did not disturb her brother's meditation.

"What the hell, is it so mysterious?"

She bent down and picked up a piece of energy-charging magic stone, but she didn't think it was very special.

Dorothy bent down and picked up a magic stone from before, her pupils contracted slightly.

It’s definitely not an illusion! It's actually charging...

The key is the effect. How many formal class spellcasters is it worth occupying such a large area?
Tens, twenty?

Even if it was just one person, Dorothy felt that there was room for profit.

"Do I want to help promote it?"

"Just wait for a few days. I want to see how long it takes to recharge the magic stone."

There are usually three types of energy-storing magic stones on the market, namely small, medium and large. From pigeon eggs, to cuckoo eggs, to the size of ostrich eggs. Can be used for civilian or commercial use.

Larger models are basically for military use. Such as transferring magic circles and shaped cannons.

The dove egg-sized energy storage magic stone takes three hours to be fully charged and has a capacity of five degrees. The size of a cuckoo egg is thirty-six hours, and its capacity is seventy degrees. The size of an ostrich egg requires at least one hundred and twenty hours and a capacity of two hundred degrees.

The business of accumulating magic stones does not need to be publicized at all. You only need to open a store and lower the price slightly to attract a large number of customers. Every household in the Imperial City has a need to use energy-storing magic stones, and they usually have to queue up to recharge them.

Due to the emergence of more apprentices, the Spellcasters Association's energy storage magic stone recharging service dropped from thirty-four copper pennies per degree to thirty-two copper pennies.

The Blue Rose family offered a price of thirty copper pennies and easily gained a group of customers.

After experiencing the plane invasion incident, although the kingdom's population has suffered some losses, the overall proportion of using inscribed items has increased. All kinds of novel inventions are springing up like mushrooms after a rain.

The hottest new invention these days is the ward off evil lantern.

There are a large number of small weird things staying in the material plane, like rats hiding in the dark, secretly feeding on human negative emotions.

The nobles engraved the inscriptions of Holy Light Purification on the doors of their houses. The poor cannot afford spellcasters, and they also need to expel weird things. So, someone thought of a way. The inscription array for the purification of the Holy Light is engraved on the night watchman's lantern.

With a magic stone that stores energy, even ordinary people can do the job of exorcising evil spirits. Moreover, it can also generate a certain amount of income.

If a family needs it, they can ask a passing watchman to come to their door to drive away the weird ones. The fee is twenty copperpence at a time.

The daily profit is considerable, someone has calculated it. It takes less than a year to recover the capital, and then there is the net profit.

……

In about a week, the Blue Rose family opened a number of stores offering energy storage magic stone charging services, and accumulated a certain amount of credit.

It is full of customers every day, and queues gradually appear.

The second-hand dealer was born naturally. Many children in slums make a living from the price difference.

The market prospect of energy storage magic stone charging service is broad.

The citizens of the royal capital have an insatiable thirst for energy.

Tai'an had nothing to do. He finished the second spirit gathering array and decided to reduce the price.

The cost per degree dropped from thirty copper pennies to twenty-seven copper pennies.

Various marketing plans proposed by Taiya were rejected.

Taian thinks the simpler, the better.

A one-time decrease of 10% attracted more customers, several times the number in the past.

Several small stores are no longer able to entertain customers, and it is imperative to expand their scale.

The former Yeyu Hotel was transformed into the Blue Rose Family's Magic Stone Charging Service Center.

The effectiveness of the two spirit-gathering arrays operating at full capacity is comparable to that of about five hundred formal casters who work around the clock.

The Spellcasters Association has no dissatisfaction with the Blue Rose family's behavior of stealing business. On the contrary, I appreciate it very much. The supply of energy has always exceeded demand, which has seriously restricted the development of civilization. So much so that it caused class divisions. Every year, the kingdom's top officials spend a large amount of tax revenue as subsidies.

"As expected of a god! With his own power, he can rival a thousand spell casters."

"Very diligent, very rare."

"You can train yourself and get a lot of money at the same time. It's much more cost-effective than just meditating..."

"Now the price of each degree of magic energy has exceeded the historical lowest price of twenty-eight coppers in a thousand years. If I remember correctly, it should be the autumn of 462 years."

"At that time, the kingdom was subsidizing behind the scenes..."

The uninformed human leaders of the Council of Stars thought that Tai'an was behind the scenes. Who would have expected that a secret piece of news would cause a sensation a few days later.

"You said that Lord Guardian developed an automatic energy-charging inscription array?"

"How is it possible? If it really needs to be developed, it has been developed a long time ago, and it will still wait until today?"
