Li Wei walked out of the Zui Wan Comrce Association.
A steward from the Zui Wan Comrce Association personally saw him out with a smile.
"Mage Li Wei, take care."
Li Wei had beco a regular at the Zui Wan Comrce Association.
Just a mont ago, Li Wei had received his October royalty paynt from the Xinghuo Literature Society via the Zui Wan Comrce Association.
The Xinghuo Literature Society had sent the money through the Treasure Basin Comrce Association, which then used the Comrce Alliance to transfer it to the Zui Wan Comrce Association.
The Comrce Alliance was like a bank for comrce associations.
It catered exclusively to comrce associations, offering no services to individuals.
The October royalty paynt had reached an astonishing 132 Gold Coins.
The letter from Gus explained why.
The main reason was that the outposts established in various places by the Treasure Basin Comrce Association had begun to turn a profit.
Every month, the profits would be sent back to Maple City.
Even if one city only brought in a few Gold Coins, the cumulative monthly profit was still astonishing.
The ability to collect profits every month was also thanks to the founding of the Beixuan Kingdom.
After Otz founded the kingdom, the Beixuan Kingdom designated Maple City as its capital.
Not long after Li Wei left, news of the Beixuan Kingdom’s founding had spread throughout the Northern Territory.
Otz also began aggressively developing Maple City, transforming it into a true capital worthy of a Kingdom.
The resulting business opportunities attracted a large number of rchants and outsiders.
Even the Comrce Alliance established a branch in Maple City.
Everything in Maple City was thriving and developing rapidly.
Gus said in his letter that Maple City was changing almost daily, and by the ti Li Wei returned in a few years, he might not even recognize it.
Li Wei couldn’t help but wonder what Maple City had beco.
Gus ntioned that Cyan Maple Slope, where the Divine Worship Ceremony was once held, had been incorporated into Maple City’s developnt area.
A Kingdom-level morial plaza would be built there, encompassing the entirety of Cyan Maple Slope.
Li Wei was stunned.
Cyan Maple Slope was not close to Maple City; it was at least several miles away.
Maple City’s rate of expansion was sowhat astonishing.
Based on this scope, by the ti he returned to Maple City, it might have expanded to ten tis its original size.
Li Wei felt sothing wasn’t quite right.
’Where did Otz get so much money to expand Maple City?’
He realized soone was pulling the strings behind Otz.
’Co to think of it, for Otz to be promoted to Marquis so smoothly, soone must have been helping him from the shadows.’
’Soone is trying to make big moves in the Northern Territory,’ Li Wei thought.
’Otz founding a kingdom is just the beginning. Sothing much bigger is bound to happen in the Northern Territory.’
The number of kingdoms in the Northern Territory was not small, and the land was vast and sparsely populated.
The Macher Kingdom, the Nanzhe Kingdom, the Beixuan Kingdom...
Li Wei had originally thought Otz’s goal was to establish a kingdom and beco its ruler.
He never expected that founding the kingdom was only the first step.
Even he didn’t know what Otz’s next move would be.
’If I knew who was backing Otz, maybe I could understand the reason behind his current actions?’
"What does this have to do with ?"
Li Wei dismissed the thought.
Perhaps by the ti he returned to Maple City, whatever was going to happen in the Northern Territory would already be over.
Right now, the Elental Tower was about to face the Undead Calamity.
Li Wei didn’t have the ntal energy to worry about the distant Northern Territory and the Beixuan Kingdom.
He just hoped Gu Ze wouldn’t be dragged into it and would survive until they could et again.
Li Wei returned to the manor.
Aside from picking up his royalty paynt from the Xinghuo Literature Society, he had also gone to the Zui Wan Comrce Association to purchase a High Level Cultivation Magic Potion.
A High Level Cultivation Magic Potion was one hundred gold coins per bottle.
Li Wei had a Golden mber Card at the Zui Wan Comrce Association, giving him a 10% discount, so it only cost ninety gold coins.
It was much cheaper than other places.
Therefore, Li Wei had been buying High Level Magic Potions from the Zui Wan Comrce Association recently.
After he reached Tier Three, the effects of Middle Level Magic Potions began to diminish.
After getting a taste of the benefits from the High Level Cultivation Magic Potion, he was hooked.
One bottle of High Level Cultivation Magic Potion was enough to last him half a month.
So, a month’s supply only cost 180 Gold Coins.
After drinking the High Level Cultivation Magic Potion, Li Wei began his Cultivation.
When his Cultivation ended, Li Wei glanced at his cultivation progress.
[Crystal ditation thod (Tier Three)] 2241/10000
Cultivation progress was slow.
Even using the High Level Cultivation Magic Potion, it would still take a long ti to cultivate to Tier Three Perfection.
Li Wei missed the lightning-fast cultivation speed of the Cultivation Secret Realm.
「The next day.」
Li Wei went to the Hall of Truth.
Fang Lide had called him over, saying he wanted to introduce him to soone.
On the way, Li Wei ran into Sean.
He took the initiative to greet him, "Teacher Sean, good morning."
"Li Wei," Sean responded with a smile.
Sean looked at Li Wei and said, "Thank you again for risking yourself to save last ti."
Li Wei said, "You’ve helped too. It was nothing."
Sean shook his head. "It’s not the sa. You risked your life to save . Helping you break that Barrier last ti was a small matter.
I don’t have much ti left in the Elental Tower, but if there’s anything you need my help with, just ask."
Li Wei smiled. "If the need truly arises, I won’t hesitate to ask."
Sean seed to think of sothing and said, "Wait a mont, I have sothing for you."
Li Wei asked curiously, "What is it?"
Sean pulled over ten Cultivation Cards from his pocket and handed them to Li Wei.
Li Wei looked at the Cultivation Cards in his hand in surprise.
Sean smiled and said, "When I was a teacher, the Elental Tower gave so Cultivation Cards. I didn’t need them, so I saved them up.
They’re all for you now."
Li Wei stared at the stack of Cultivation Cards in his hand, utterly stunned.
’Perhaps this is what they an by ’no good deed goes unrewarded,’’ he mused.
He had never expected anything in return for saving Sean.
Yet Sean’s repaynt went far beyond his imagination.
Li Wei wasn’t one for false modesty, so he accepted the Cultivation Cards.
"Teacher Sean, thank you. You’ve helped out imnsely," Li Wei said with sincere gratitude.
Sean smiled and said, "As long as they’re useful to you. I don’t have anything else of value.
Oh, right. I’ve already compensated Balaha with sothing of equal value for that Town Recall Scroll from last ti, so you don’t need to pay him."
Li Wei felt a flush of sha; he’d never even considered paying Balaha back.
’Still, this is for the best. Settle your debts, and it’s easier to borrow again.’
"Teacher, I have sothing to attend to at the Hall of Truth, so I’ll head over now. Let’s talk again when we have ti," Li Wei said.
Sean nodded and said, "Alright, you go on then."
Li Wei walked toward the Hall of Truth, counting the Cultivation Cards in his hand.
There were eleven Cultivation Cards in total, and each card granted three days of Cultivation ti.
In other words, Li Wei had obtained a total of thirty-three days of usage ti in the Cultivation Secret Realm.
Li Wei broke into a happy smile.
’This is like Sean letting enjoy the perks of the Purple Level Class ahead of schedule.’
Thirty-three days. That ant he could cultivate for sixteen and a half days each month.
Now Li Wei started thinking about how to get his hands on so Energy Secret dicine.
At the entrance to the Hall of Truth, Hobbes saw Li Wei beaming and asked with a laugh, "What’s this? Did sothing good happen? You look so happy."
Li Wei chuckled and said, "Yeah, sothing amazing happened."
"Care to share?" Hobbes asked curiously.
Li Wei glanced at him and said with a smile, "I’m not telling you."
