After watching the dozen or so independent players leave the New Moon Trading Firm, the Shifeng followed suit.
Mithril ore veins were one of the more common ore veins in God's Domain.
Any Mithril ore that appeared would become a target for large Guilds.
As a major city in the Black Dragon Empire, Emerald City had more than one Mithril ore vein. This was also why the Undefeated Dynasty, which ruled Emerald City, had amassed enough Coins.
Currently, the only Mithril ore vein Emerald City's players had access to was White Bone Town.
In the past, White Bone Town had been quite famous because of its rich ore veins. It was very easy to mine Mithril. Although the Gold Coins earned from White Bone Town couldn't compare to the Manatite vein under Raven's control, the amount of Gold Coins earned every day was still frightening.
However, with current players' strength, most likely no one could threaten White Bone Town.
The NPCs guarding White Bone Town were not humans. Instead, they were cursed Undead creatures. They were all Level 50 and above. Any player that ventured deep into the mine would be cursed. This curse would cause players to lose 10 HP every three seconds for an hour.
There were also several Level 70 Grand Lords resting in the deepest part of the town's ore vein. If a battle broke out, even an army of hundreds of thousands of elite players wouldn't survive, given the current players' standards.
Although no one could capture White Bone Town right now, the Shifeng thought of something.
Basic Saint Potion
This potion allowed players to be immune to curses. However, as the potion was only a Basic Saint Potion, the amount of curses one could be immune to was limited. Fortunately, it was enough to nullify White Bone Town's curses.
White Bone Town was rich in Mithril ore. Back then, many players had taken the risk to mine there. The money they earned from mining Mithril and other related ores was far more than what they could earn from grinding monsters or raiding Team Dungeons.
Hence, the Basic Saint Potion had been very popular in Emerald City.
Back then, the Basic Saint Potion hadn't been very expensive. Each bottle had only cost 2 Silver. Ordinary players could afford the potion's effects. Moreover, the potion's effects lasted for half an hour. Players could easily earn more than 2 Silver from mining inside the mine.
Although the monsters in White Bone Town were high-level, the entrance to the mine was located at the edge of the town. There were not many monsters there. As long as they lured the monsters away, they could enter the mine.
The mine was very large, and the terrain was very complex. However, there were very few patrolling monsters. As long as one did not venture too deep into the mine, there would not be much danger. After mining, one only needed to use a Return Scroll to leave safely. Hence, many players were willing to take the risk of mining.
As more and more players joined the auction, the Basic Saint Spirit Potion's price had risen from 2 Silver to 5 Silver. Later on, it had even risen to 10 Silver per bottle, quintupling the price. The Alchemists who had been able to produce the potion had been overjoyed.
The Basic Holy Spirit Potion Recipe wasn't particularly difficult to obtain. Generally, Level 30 and above Team Dungeons had a chance of dropping it. Only, the drop rate was very low. Hence, there weren't many Basic Holy Spirit Potion Recipes on the market. Meanwhile, the materials required to concoct the potion were also very ordinary. The main ingredient required to concoct the potion was a rare herb, the Holy Spirit Flower. The cost of the potion wasn't even 1 Silver.
When the Shifeng thought of this, he immediately took action.
This was a good opportunity to make a lot of money.
There were millions of players in Emerald City. Once these players discovered a good way to mine in White Bone Town, they would definitely flock to the town. It was easy to imagine how large this market would be.
Following which, Shifeng changed the New Moon Trading Firm's name to Candlelight. He also removed all of the Lifestyle players and products from the Firm's shelves. He then made a trip to the City Hall and spent 1,000 Gold to upgrade the Firm's Shop to the highest-ranking Shop. He also had the NPCs in the Firm purchase various ores, herbs, and Emeralds.
As for the sales of Candlelight's products and personnel arrangements, Shifeng left them to Candlelight's management. He then made a trip to the Black Dragon Empire's various Auction Houses to purchase the Basic Holy Spirit Potion Recipes and Holy Spirit Flowers.
After spending the majority of the day, Shifeng had purchased all of the Basic Holy Spirit Potion Recipes available on the Black Dragon Empire's market.
There were a total of 776 recipes. Although the recipes were easy to obtain, their drop-rate was not high.
On the market, the Basic Holy Spirit Potion Recipes were relatively cheap, only selling for 35 to 40 Silver. In total, he had spent less than 300 Gold. This was mainly because the Basic Holy Spirit Potion Recipes were not particularly useful. It was not one of the popular potions that Alchemists often produced. If he had used the Intermediate Recovery Potion or Intermediate Mana Recovery Potion Recipes, he would have spent far more.
With 776 recipes, he should have enough for all of Candlelight's Alchemists to learn. There would still be plenty left.
In addition, Shifeng had also purchased a lot of Holy Spirit Flowers. He had purchased over 6,500 stacks, with each stack containing 20 Holy Spirit Flowers. On the market, each stack sold for around 12 to 13 Silver. In total, Shifeng had spent over 800 Gold.
For now, I just need to have Candlelight collect Holy Spirit Flowers. Shifeng was more or less satisfied with the Holy Spirit Flowers he had purchased.
At the end of the day, the Holy Spirit Flower was a rare herb. Most large Guilds would not sell their Holy Spirit Flowers, storing them in their Guild Warehouses. Only independent players would sell their Holy Spirit Flowers. Hence, the number of Holy Spirit Flowers available was very limited.
If all 6,500 stacks of Holy Spirit Flowers were made into Basic Holy Spirit Potions, they would be enough to last Emerald City's players for quite some time. As long as Candlelight could keep up with the Holy Spirit Flowers it purchased, Emerald City would become one of Candlelight's stable sources of income for quite some time.
Moreover, Shifeng had also spent 3,000 Gold to construct the Ling YI Society's Advanced Guild Hall in Lake Heart City.
Although the plot of Land they had purchased from Feng Qianyu was not as large as Ling Yi's Residence, the Advanced Guild Hall still surprised Lake Heart City's players.
"Huh? This Guild looks so imposing."
"I wonder what kind of Guild it is? They actually chose to develop here."
"It shouldn't be a large Guild, right? It might be some third-rate Guild. "
"That's right. This is Lake Heart City. Why would a large Guild want to develop here?"
There were not many players in Lake Heart City. As it was located on an island, and the leveling environment around it was excellent, there were only a little over 100,000 players in the city. First-rate Guilds would not be willing to spend time and effort to develop in such a desolate city. Meanwhile, the Guild ruling over this city was only a second-rate Guild. Moreover, this second-rate Guild's main city was not Lake Heart City, but another large city with a population of over 500,000.
The Guild Residence that this second-rate Guild established in Lake Heart City was an extremely ordinary Guild Hall. None of them could compare to Ling YI Society's Advanced Guild Hall.
"Hey, that's not right. Look at the symbol on that Guild Flag. It looks like Ling YI Society's six-winged symbol."
