Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 490 Not Eating Beef

At night, Yaoyang Castle is brightly lit, resembling a paradise amidst falling snowflakes.

"I've already spoken with the president of the Australian Magical Association, and they've agreed to provide us with two fixed spots each year."

"However, they have one request: they want the information to be made public. We pay them four Star Sea Veins every year."

Leng Qing returned, looking somewhat travel-worn. Some time ago, she had accepted Wang Teng's mission to find time in his name to request cultivation slots from the Holy Kai Altar.

Since the Altar of Saint Kai is under the jurisdiction of the Australian Magic Association, it's inevitable to ask them for a spot.

"Sure, no problem," Wang Teng said nonchalantly.

Being assertive when necessary and restraining oneself when appropriate is also acceptable.

The Australian Magic Association is simply trying to save face; it's a classic case of putting on a brave face.

He actually received real benefits, and all he paid was nominal money, which even indirectly salvaged his reputation.

After all, it's easy to do zero-dollar sales but not so good to talk about... He didn't really care about these things anyway, it's not like the Holy City needs a lot of positive reputation.

As long as he keeps his word, that's enough. Why should we demand that he be a model of a good person?

"Is what we're doing a bad thing...?"

Sitting next to Wang Teng, Ding Yumin asked somewhat guiltily, "Doesn't this kind of forceful demand seem too domineering?"

"What's so good or bad about it... The Altar of Saint Kai is very helpful for cultivation and breaking through realms. Some things are worth fighting for."

"This is about flexing your muscles, which is a very popular behavior abroad."

"The strong should be this domineering. Hmm~ Public opinion highly praises this behavior, and no one thinks there's anything wrong with it."

"Don't worry~ I'm not a greedy person. Apart from the Altar of Saint Kai, there's really not much else that I'd like to buy," Wang Teng said with a smile, trying to comfort Ding Yumin.

The Altar of Saint Kai is a sacred training ground that determines whether he can quickly elevate his magical realm. After entering it a few more times, he will be able to reach the level of mastery of forbidden spells.

This means that my journey on the path of magic has temporarily come to an end.

At least for now, the five elements of magic he chose are quite useful, complementing his various methods.

At that time, it would not be an exaggeration to call him the number one person after the Central Emperor, and he might even be able to rival the Central Emperor.

As for the artifacts that have been lost, those things are basically remnants of emperor-level power. He could even gouge out an eyeball and treat it as a dimensional artifact.

Only human mages would treasure it, since they haven't experienced the transformation and don't understand the meaning of the power represented by a legitimate emperor.

It is a kind of authority, and it is precisely because people do not understand it that they like to boast about it and regard it as a divine artifact.

In the minds of mages, even monarch-level magical artifacts are considered priceless treasures, extremely rare and expensive.

As for the even higher imperial level... there probably aren't many imperial level artifacts in the entire history of humankind.

"Thank you for making the trip. I need to use this spot soon." Wang Teng wasn't going to let the opportunity go to waste.

Leng Qing shook her head: "It's nothing~ Your reputation is still the most effective."

"When I first visited them, they were generally very willing to give up their cultivation spots after hearing my purpose."

"There's probably also a reason to use this as a publicity stunt, indirectly enhancing the value of the Altar of Saint Kai."

She could still somewhat guess what the Australian Magic Association meant: since they couldn't defeat them by force, they should try to minimize their losses.

"Hmm, whatever."

Wang Teng shook his head and said that he would continue to work on the angel soul embryo in his hands. After half a day of cleaning, he finally removed all the traces.

The entire angelic soul embryo has changed drastically. The symbolic pale golden light is gone, and the wings that symbolize the angel have also been removed.

Only one humanoid soul artifact remained, signifying that its name, Michael, had also been erased.

He then put it away, and so far the preliminary work for the modification is complete.

Next, he needs to inscribe his innate abilities onto it, then sublimate the soul artifact to connect with dimensional power, open up the hellish illusion space, and finally bestow upon it the title of Dimensional Witch. Only then will it be considered complete.

However, before he can inscribe his talent, he needs to carefully consider and study it, especially to become familiar with his own soul talent.

Leng Qing's eyes flickered a few times upon seeing this scene, but she did not say anything.

If Wang Teng wanted to give this thing to them, he would have done so directly without them having to ask or beg for it.

"We've been busy all day~ Let's go take a bath and relax."

Wang Teng stood up and helped Ding Yumin up, then pulled Leng Qing up with him as they passed by.

Leng Qing got up and followed suit. She was a bit tired from the flight back, so it would be nice to have the maids give her a massage.

She's actually grown to like this place; her life has only just begun, yet she's already enjoying the life of a wealthy woman.

The head maid, who was standing by, immediately made the arrangements; she was very skilled at this kind of thing.

……

That evening, the Australian Magic Association simply posted a statement online, stating that after friendly exchanges, His Excellency Wang Teng would purchase two fixed training slots for the Holy Kai Altar with four Star Sea Heavenly Veins per year.

The statement was very ordinary and not publicized in a big way; it seemed to disappear without a trace after it was sent out.

However, some people still paid attention, especially regarding Wang Teng, the formidable figure who almost single-handedly brought down the Holy City.

The other party's life story has been dug up, with every detail meticulously examined, and various news stories with pictures and evidence emerging one after another.

As the information was unearthed and disseminated, its popularity began to rise again.

The price of purchasing two cultivation opportunities annually from four Star Sea Heavenly Veins is particularly strange.

Anyone who didn't know better would think the Australian Magic Association was forcing a sale!

In the current market, the price of Star Sea Heavenly Veins continues to rise, but to say that a cultivation spot at the Holy Kai Altar is worth two Star Sea Heavenly Veins is a bit of an exaggeration.

Therefore, some people with a penchant for humor commented below the statement, quickly boosting its popularity and placing it on the homepage.

"This is the funniest joke I've ever heard. When did the Olympic Committee become so assertive?"

"I remember the Holy City has already fallen, hasn't it? Or is my memory playing tricks on me?"

"May I ask which emperor on earth accepted money, especially bribes? That's truly shameless!"

"I declare! Australia is the world's most powerful magical land!"

"I don't know if it's true... but it sounds really cool!"

"I suspect this price is a fabricated excuse to fool people. Those people can't even handle the demon empire in the heartland, yet they dare to provoke that person?"

"Family members... the number of cultivation slots may be reduced and the price may increase again in a while. Whether it's true or false is not important."

"What disgusting capitalists! They'll make up a plausible reason even if it's just to raise prices!"

The comments from netizens further down the page became increasingly aggressive, with many believing that it was all just an excuse for capitalists to raise prices.

Moreover, each of them analyzed things in a very logical and reasonable manner, as if they wanted to expose the very secrets of the Australian Magic Association.
