Full-Time Magister: All-Element Mutant Star Child

"If we clear out all the demons in Sun Ridge and collect all the existing colored stones, the colored stones that Sun Ridge regenerates each year should be worth five or six hundred million in profit."

"Even after we take over Sun Ridge, we can set up a purchasing station there to collect colored stones that hunters collect in other areas outside Sun Ridge, which will generate considerable profits every year."

Dongfang Kuang became more and more excited as he spoke, because the resources of Sun Ridge were too abundant. Once they acquired Sun Ridge and its fire vein, their family would become rich.

He will naturally reap considerable benefits in the future.

No one interrupted Dongfang Kuang's explanation of the situation at Sun Ridge; they all became excited as Dongfang Lie recounted the story.

After Dongfang Lie finished explaining, Dongfang Zhan said, "As you all know, Sun Ridge is a treasure trove of unclaimed resources, and our Dongfang family certainly cannot let it go."

"To prevent other forces from discovering the resources and fire veins of Sun Ridge, and to prevent other forces from developing Sun Ridge before us, I have decided to first pay to buy the land ownership of Sun Ridge from the state."

After Dongfang Zhan finished speaking, all the elders agreed without objection.

Dongfang Zhan then continued:

"If we buy Sun Ridge and then want to exploit its resources, we'll inevitably encounter the Sun Ridge Overlord and the other demons there. The other demons are manageable, but the Sun Ridge Overlord is a major problem."

"Including me, our family only has nine super-level mages. Together, we can fight the overlord of Sun Ridge. Driving it away is no problem, and it's even possible to kill it."

"The problem is, we are likely to suffer casualties."

At this point, everyone calmed down a bit.

Monarch-level demons are indeed not easy to deal with. Under normal circumstances, going to deal with a monarch-level demon without a team of super-level mages is tantamount to suicide.

The group present could form a team of super-level mages, but if they were to fight the overlord of Sun Ridge, there might be casualties.

Dongfang Zhan continued, "Although the benefits are great, the risks are also considerable."

"If any of us suffer casualties, even if we capture Sun Ridge, we probably won't be able to hold onto its resources. Other powerful families and clans won't just stand by and watch."

"It's even possible that after our family's strength is damaged, we won't be able to hold onto our existing industrial resources."

"Therefore, the development of Sun Ridge must be approached with extreme caution!"

Dongfang Mo agreed, saying, "We must be cautious. Our Dongfang family is not yet strong enough to securely take over Sun Ridge."

"I think we can try to cooperate with other established families to jointly develop Sun Ridge. Although this will share some profits, we will also have partners to help us cope with the pressure."

"If two, three, or even four powerful families join forces to develop Sun Ridge, then it will not be so easy for other powerful families and clans to interfere."

As soon as Dongfang Mo finished speaking, an elder beside him said, "I think it would be too much of a loss to cooperate with other powerful families and give up profits."

"I think we can first sell some of the resources and industries that the family currently owns, and then purchase a batch of Star Sea Celestial Veins or other resources that allow mages to break through to the super-level, so that our family can produce more super-level mages."

"Although we've traded resources for strength, the family might have to tighten its belt now. But once we take Sun Ridge, the resources will come back all at once, and we'll have even more than we have now, enough to support the family's mages' cultivation."

At this moment, another elder nodded in agreement: "I agree with the Second Elder's idea. If the number of our family's super-level mages doubles, our family can take over Sun Ridge on its own and resist external pressure on its own."

At this moment, an elder on the other side spoke up: "I also agree with this idea."

"The problem is, without affecting the basic cultivation resources of our clan, can the assets and resources we sell allow our clan to produce a few more, or even a dozen, super-level mages?"

"You should know that breaking through to the super-level is extremely difficult. Even using the Star Sea Heavenly Vein doesn't guarantee a breakthrough."

"If the family businesses we sell off don't ultimately increase the family's strength enough to monopolize the resources of Sun Ridge, then the family mages will run out of resources, which will cause problems."

Before the elder could finish speaking, the old clan leader on Dongfang Zhan's side interrupted:

"If selling off the family business still doesn't provide enough high-level mages to cope with the pressure from other families and clans, then we can cooperate with other families."

"In the same cooperative situation, the more super-level mages our family has, the greater the benefits we can share."

"We can definitely take Sun Ridge. Once that happens, the resources will be back, and we won't have to worry about running out of resources after the family increases its strength."

The old patriarch was not only the previous patriarch, but also the strongest member of the Eastern Clan, so his words carried considerable weight.

After the ancestor finished speaking, no one spoke up to refute the clan leader.

Seeing this, Dongfang Zhan spoke up: "Since everyone has no objections, then let's leave enough resources for Jiehuo Cave and the family for the next few years, as well as necessary industries and industries for processing and selling Sun Ridge resources in a few years."

All resources to be consumed in the coming decades and all non-essential industries were sold off.

"Jiehuo Cave is the lifeblood of our Eastern family, and it is also a major fire vein. We can't sell our existing major fire vein for a major fire vein that we haven't even obtained yet."

"We can't sell all the resources at once. We need to buy resources to help high-level mages in the family who are qualified to break through to the next level. This will take time. So the family needs to retain the resources it will need for the next few years."

"After we take over Sun Ridge, the development of its resources will require some industries. These resource processing industries need to be preserved, otherwise it will be troublesome to start new industries there later."

"The money obtained from selling resources and industries will first be used to buy the ownership of the land in Sun Ridge, and then exchange it in large quantities for Star Sea Celestial Vein and other resources to break through to the super-level, thereby increasing the number of super-level mages in the family."

"If our family becomes strong enough in a few years, then our Eastern family will take over Sun Ridge entirely on our own. If we are not strong enough by then, then we will cooperate with other families to develop Sun Ridge."

"In a few years, regardless of whether the family is strong enough, we must develop Sun Ridge. Otherwise, if the family's resources are exhausted and we cannot find other sources of resources, the family will run into problems."

With the elders' approval, the plan to develop Sun Ridge was simply finalized.

The specific details of how to purchase the land ownership of Sun Ridge at the lowest price are as follows:

What industries and resources does the family need to sell, and how can they sell them for the highest price?

How can we acquire as many Star Sea Celestial Veins and other resources for breaking through to the Super Rank as possible while minimizing the cost?

Resources for breaking through to the Super-Rank will be allocated to high-rank mages who are qualified to do so.

These are all issues that need to be addressed in the next few years.
