But very soon, a few Mage Towers discovered the disadvantage. Without purchasing a large amount of Blue Devil Potions, their opponents would be stronger than them. Their opponents, who were originally about the same level, would have twice the mana of their opponents. How could they fight like that? There was simply no way for them to fight …
When exploring the ruins together, one party would be unable to continue halfway due to a lack of mana, while the other party would take out the Blue Goblin Potion and consume it, continuing to fight and advance. In the end, the benefits they would obtain wouldn't just be one or two times.
When they jointly conquered a plane, it was agreed that whoever occupied the territory would get it. One side would suddenly feel as if they had taken a berserk potion and their speed of conquest would suddenly increase. In a short month, the gap between the two sides' territories had increased by at least a quarter. For a plane, a quarter of a territory could compare to the territory of a Great Noble, and it might even be a few times the size of a kingdom.
Slowly, the advantages of the Blue Magic Potion, which could have been seen by others, were thoroughly displayed. This was already a potion that no mage could give up. It wasn't a life-saving potion, but rather a necessary consumable potion.
With this difference, the sales of the Blue Magic Potion wouldn't decrease. Moreover, the Blue Magic Potion would be a necessity for a very long time. Even if there was an even better Mana Regeneration Potion in the future, the Blue Magic Potion would still be a necessity, but the price wouldn't be as exaggerated as it was now.
The refining method of the Blue Magic Potion was cracked in less than a month, and there was even a first-rate Artisan proficient in potioneering who could reverse the entire refining process of the Blue Magic Potion.
Unfortunately, it was still useless. It wasn't that there weren't any alchemy shops imitating the Blue Magic Potion, and there were many of them. Within three months, there were more than a dozen alchemy shops selling the same potion, and there were also five alchemy families making the same potion.
But the sales still weren't good, and the profits weren't on the same level as the Blue Magic Potion. Among these imitations, the best one could recover 5% of the mana of the Blue Magic Potion, but the mana recovery time was increased to 8 seconds. Moreover, it was only suitable for High Mages, and the effects weren't very good.
Most of the other Mana Regeneration Potions were suitable for mages or Great Mages. Some of the worst ones could only be used by mage apprentices as instant recovery potions.
In the beginning, the potion with the best effects was only 5% as effective as the Blue Demon Potion. As such, it was priced at 9,000 purple gold coins per bottle. Unfortunately, it only sold a little more than that on the first day. On the second day, all sorts of negative news began to spread.
In the following month, the price dropped to a thousand purple coins, but not many Mages were willing to use it. In the end, the price of six hundred purple coins per bottle recovered a bit of its sales. Unfortunately, the profit margin of six hundred purple coins wasn't even comparable to that of ordinary potions. There was simply no need to waste the effort to make and sell these potions.
Facing this situation, the Gilded Rose quietly released a second potion, the Radiance Potion!
The Radiance Potion could reduce the time it took for a Mage to accumulate Mana. Not only could it increase a Mage's accumulated Mana sharply, but it could also speed up a Mage's meditation for a certain period of time.
More importantly, the Radiance Potion's ability to reduce the time it took for a Mage to accumulate Mana had no limitations. There were no side effects from using it all the time, and there was no reduction in the potion's effects.
After drinking the potion, it would only be equivalent to receiving a buff spell. When the buff disappeared, one could just drink another Radiance Potion.
It wasn't that there weren't similar potions, but they had a lot of limitations. Under normal circumstances, they could only be used a few times, and the effects would get worse with each use. After a few uses, they would completely lose their effects. The buff would last for three days at most, and that was the first time. A day and a half for the second time would already be considered good.
Moreover, the effects of those potions were very ordinary. They could only increase meditation speed by 30%, which could be considered the best potion on the market. But the Gilded Rose's new Radiance Potion had a buff of three times the meditation efficiency. Moreover, the effects of one bottle would last for at least ten days, and this was only the most special case. Usually, it would last for around fifteen days. Some with special constitutions could even last for eighteen days.
Naturally, the effects were terrifying. The most important thing was that the Radiance Potion didn't have any restrictions. Taking two bottles every month for fifty years wouldn't have much of a difference in the effects.
The appearance of the Radiance Potion caused a new wave of panic. Those forces that originally didn't want to cooperate with the Gilded Rose were somewhat hesitant.
Because the originally weak Andalusia Kingdom, because of these two potions, in a short few months, the strength of the most powerful forces of the Andalusia Kingdom rose to a whole new level. Powerhouses of the same rank had their fighting strength increase by 20%, and the overall strength of their mages had also increased by one rank.
This was because the Gilded Rose had first cooperated with the Andalusia Kingdom. In the Andalusia Kingdom, the Gilded Rose's potions occupied the high-end market of the Andalusia Kingdom. The Gilded Rose basically didn't get involved in the low-level market. The low-level potions were left for other alchemy shops or alchemists.
As long as the Gilded Rose had a new potion, all the forces of the Andalusia Kingdom would immediately look for them to discuss cooperation. If the Gilded Rose wanted to trade for materials, they could trade for anything, as long as they had it.
In any case, obtaining a new potion would increase their overall strength, and they would be able to obtain even greater benefits. They would also be able to obtain benefits faster. No matter how one looked at it, it wouldn't be a loss.
With the performance of the Andalusia Kingdom, the cooperation on the Odin Kingdom Kingdom's side also progressed even faster. More and more forces signed an exchange contract with the Gilded Rose, and there was even a first-rate force.
But since there were people willing to cooperate, there were naturally others who thought of other methods.
"Sir Faleau, we are still preparing to open a branch in the southern part of the Odin Kingdom, but we can no longer proceed. The Sacred Light Alliance of the southern part of the Odin Kingdom has intervened in this matter. They have taken a fancy to our Gilded Rose's Blue Magic Potion and said …
"They said that if our Gilded Rose wants to enter the southern part of the Odin Kingdom, we have to pay a certain price. They want us to give up half of the Blue Magic Potion's production area and tell them the Planar Coordinates …"
The person who came to report was flushed. At this point, he couldn't go on.
Faleau's expression was dark and unsightly.
If they wanted to enter the southern part of the Odin Kingdom's market, how could they not understand the southern part of the Odin Kingdom's forces?
The Sacred Light Alliance was one of the top ten forces in the southern part of the Odin Kingdom. After all, the southern part of the Odin Kingdom was the strongest region. To be able to rank in the top ten in the southern part, they would definitely rank in the top six in the northern part of the Odin Kingdom.
The Sacred Light Alliance was located on the eastern side of the southern part of the Odin Kingdom. Every day, when the sun's radiance shone on Noscent, the first place it shone on would be the Sacred Light Alliance's Holy Tower. It was known as the place where the light first shone on Noscent.
It sounded like the Sacred Light Alliance was filled with holy mages that specialized in light healing. Unfortunately, that group was very loathsome. They were definitely the top rabid dogs of the Odin Kingdom.
If they met a dark mage, they would get rid of him.
If they met a Necromancer, they would get rid of him.
If they met an unorthodox mage, they would get rid of him.
As long as they were labeled as heretics by the Sacred Light Alliance, they would have to fight them. If they didn't get rid of the other side, they wouldn't be able to get rid of them. Moreover, the main reason these guys were called rabid dogs was because they were too persistent.
If they couldn't get rid of the heretics, they would keep chasing them, not caring about the price.
In the past few millennia, the Sacred Light Alliance had fought eight large-scale wars with the Necromancers and thirteen large-scale wars with the Dark Mages.
The main reason the Crown of Thorns' headquarters was very far from the Sacred Light Alliance was because the Sacred Light Alliance and the Crown of Thorns had fought twice.
The reason why there were so few mages proficient in water spells in Noscent had a lot to do with the Holy Light Alliance. At one time, only water spells and Holy Light Spells could be widely used for healing. Unfortunately, there were very few water spells that could be used to fight on their own. Water spells were more suitable for army battles.
Fog City, which had once gathered a large number of water spells, was destroyed in the war with the Sacred Light Alliance.
Hearing that the rabid dogs of the Sacred Light Alliance actually had ideas about the Gilded Rose, Faleau's expression turned ashen.
There were no conditions, no benefits, they just wanted the Planar Coordinates. They wanted half of the Gilded Rose's territory. But as long as one wasn't an idiot, they would know that as long as they gave the other side the Planar Coordinates, the Gilded Rose wouldn't have anything to do with that plane. That group of tyrannical rabid dogs would definitely swallow the entire plane, leaving nothing behind.
'They paid such a huge price just to allow the Gilded Rose to open a branch in the southern part of the Odin Kingdom?
'Damnit, that group of b * stards really dared to ask. If they asked, wouldn't others also be able to extort the Gilded Rose?'
"Don't worry about those rabid dogs of the Sacred Light Alliance. We will open a branch in the southern part of the Odin Kingdom, starting from the western side. Someone will help us open the first branch. The dark mages and necromancers of the southern part of the Odin Kingdom are all gathered in the western side. Whatever we open there, the rabid dogs of the Sacred Light Alliance won't be able to interfere.
"Hold on, have that Dark Curse Mage go to the western side of the southern part of the Odin Kingdom and have him open a branch there. Those dark mages and necromancers are very united against the Sacred Light Alliance. Our people are also dark mages. As long as the Sacred Light Alliance comes looking for trouble, those guys won't ignore it.
"When the time comes, all the potions sold will be sold at a 20% discount. Heaven Rank powerhouses can get at least a 40% discount!"
After giving these orders, Faleau's expression didn't improve. The other forces were fine, but the Sacred Light Alliance was a huge problem. Although they were ranked around 10th in the southern part of the Odin Kingdom, when faced with some stubborn issues, they even dared to go against the Odin royalty. They were a group of rabid dogs.
It was just an idea, and it was unknown whether it was the idea of the Sacred Light Alliance or someone within the Sacred Light Alliance. But it didn't make much of a difference to these lunatics.
A few days later, another piece of news came. The city lord of the city where the Gilded Rose originally planned to open a branch was killed by the Sacred Light Alliance. The reason was that the city lord had colluded with a heretic, and that heretic was either the Crown of Thorns or the Gilded Rose.
It was only the city lord of a small city, no one was willing to provoke the rabid dogs of the Sacred Light Alliance. As long as there was a heretic involved, those guys of the Sacred Light Alliance would be no different from rabid dogs, they would bite whoever they could get their hands on.
The Gilded Rose's plan to open a branch didn't stop, they instead moved to the western side of the southern part of the Odin Kingdom. In the words of the Sacred Light Alliance, this was a place where light couldn't shine, a land filled with filth. Even a dog would be purified by holy light. Everything, whether it was a living creature or the land, would be purified.
The Gilded Rose's uncompromising attitude immediately infuriated the Sacred Light Alliance. They originally wanted to take advantage of the Crown of Thorns' internal strife to suppress them, but they hadn't expected the Gilded Rose to take the initiative. The Crown of Thorns' people were hidden and busy completing Lin Yun's mission, how could they have time to pay attention to the rabid dogs of the Sacred Light Alliance?
Since they couldn't find the Crown of Thorns' people, the Sacred Light Alliance started venting their anger on the Gilded Rose. When the Gilded Rose's people were heading to the western side of the southern part of the Odin Kingdom, they were attacked by the Sacred Light Alliance's people. But they just happened to meet two passing dark mages.
Seeing the Sacred Light Alliance's people appear in the western part of the Odin Kingdom and chase them, how could these dark mages, who hated the Sacred Light Alliance, think twice before getting rid of the Sacred Light Alliance's people. After getting rid of the Sacred Light Alliance's mages, they started asking the Gilded Rose who they were.
After finding out that the Gilded Rose was planning to open a branch in the western part of the Odin Kingdom, but they were suppressed by the Sacred Light Alliance, not allowing the Gilded Rose to develop in the western part of the Odin Kingdom. These dark mages and Necromancers immediately exploded. In less than three days, the mages of the Sacred Light Alliance that infiltrated the western part of the Odin Kingdom were all eliminated. Even the three Heaven Rank powerhouses that came over were killed and their corpses divided among the three Necromancers.
Faleau was a bit scared when he heard this news.
"Damn, those b * stards aren't afraid of blowing things up. It doesn't matter to them. In any case, those mad dogs of the Sacred Light Alliance can't let go of their hatred. Now, those mad dogs of the Sacred Light Alliance will definitely think that the Gilded Rose is an ally of those dark mages and Necromancers. Those mad dogs won't care …"
He originally planned on suppressing the Crown of Thorns and casually extorting the Gilded Rose. After all, the Gilded Rose only sounded like an alchemy shop, nothing more. If the famous Holy Light Alliance came to ask for protection fees, what else could they say? At most, they would haggle over the price and obediently pay the protection fees.
But he hadn't expected that the Gilded Rose would turn out to be a heresy. Not only did they have a close relationship with the Crown of Thorns, but they were also allies of those dark mages and Necromancers. This was good, the Gilded Rose was a huge heresy and was on the list of targets for a punitive expedition.
With this kind of thing happening, they inexplicably became enemies of the Sacred Light Alliance. The fall of the three Heaven Rank powerhouses would definitely be blamed on the Gilded Rose. Faleau felt that he couldn't handle this matter and took the initiative to look for Lin Yun to explain.
In the Natural Demiplane, Lin Yun was comprehending truth runes. He had already comprehended over 9,000 truth runes and the comprehended truth runes thoroughly merged with the Natural Demiplane, speeding up the evolution of the Natural Demiplane. It only expanded by less than 2,000 kilometers, but its essence was becoming more and more like a true world.
Mountains, rivers, white clouds, blue sky, everything had already appeared. Apart from some low level insects, there were also some relatively simple reptiles. That ocean, which could at most be considered a lake in Noscent, gave birth to even more lifeforms, but most of them were palm-sized.
The process of life was like a few million years in a dozen years, the speed of its evolution was terrifying.
Originally, the evolution of the Natural Demiplane's essence was the most difficult, but now, it was even easier. The mana consumption was huge as the essence kept evolving, but the expansion of the Natural Demiplane consumed a large amount of mana.
The mana within the Natural Demiplane became sparse and the Mana Vines formed a large green forest that kept expanding. Now, the range of the Mana Vines was over twenty kilometers. Thick Mana Vines rose from the ground and pierced into the sky before disappearing. From a distance, it looked like a dark green pillar piercing into the sky.
The mana torn by the Mana Vines converged into a surging river falling from the sky before converging into the Mana Lake. Such a huge amount of mana converged, but the Mana Lake didn't grow at all. Almost all the mana was consumed by the Natural Demiplane and used to expand the Natural Demiplane.
In a few months, the Natural Demiplane's land area had already expanded to over thirty thousand kilometers. This was already comparable to the size of some ordinary planes, and the Laws were even more complete. The Raging Flame Plane's size was also a few times larger than the current Natural Demiplane.
Looking at the truth rune engraved on the pillar slowly merging with it and disappearing, Lin Yun let out a sigh of relief. The torrent of runes within his eyes slowly dissipated.
