Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 987 Branch Guild Residence
Watching the dozen or so free players leave the Crescent Merchant Firm, Shi Feng also walked inside.
Mithril veins were relatively common in God's Domain.
Any appearance of one would become the target of major guilds.
As a large city of the Black Dragon Empire that produced ore and emeralds, Emerald City had more than one mineral vein. Precisely for this reason, the undefeated dynasty that ruled Emerald City had plenty of gold coins.
The only mineral vein that players in Emerald City could currently access was Bone Town.
Bone Town was quite famous in the previous life because its mineral veins were rich veins, making it easy to mine Mithril. Although the gold coins earned each day were definitely not as much as the Origin Iron vein controlled by Dark Raven, the money earned each day after development was still quite astonishing.
However, with the current strength of the players, no one could shake Bone Town.
The guarding NPCs in Bone Town were not humans but cursed undead creatures, all above level 50. Any player who ventured deep into the mine would be cursed, causing them to lose health continuously, 10% every three seconds, lasting for a full hour…
In addition, several level 70 High Lords rested in the deepest part of the town's mineral veins. If a real fight broke out, with the current level of the players, even an elite army of hundreds of thousands would not be enough to fill the gap.
Although no one could occupy Bone Town now, it made Shi Feng think of something.
Beginner Holy Spirit Potion!
This item allowed players to be immune to curse effects, but because it was a Beginner Holy Spirit Potion, the curse immunity it provided was limited, but it was just enough to immunize the curse effect of the monsters in Bone Town.
The Mithril in Bone Town was very abundant. At that time, many players would risk going inside to mine. The money earned from mining Mithril and other associated minerals in one day was much more than grinding monsters in the wild or running team dungeons.
So the Beginner Holy Spirit Potion was very popular in Emerald City at that time.
The Beginner Holy Spirit Potion was not expensive at the time, only 2 Silver Coins per bottle, which ordinary players could afford, and the effect after drinking it lasted for half an hour. Just mining some ore in the mine would earn much more than 2 Silver Coins.
Although the monster level in Bone Town was high, the mine entrance was located at the edge of the town, where there were not many monsters. As long as the monsters outside were lured away, others could enter.
The mine was very large and the terrain was very complex, but there were very few patrolling monsters. As long as one did not go too deep, there was no great danger. After mining, a Return Scroll could be used to leave safely, so many players were willing to risk going to mine.
As more players went, the price of the Beginner Holy Spirit Potion also rose from the original 2 Silver Coins to 5 Silver Coins, and later to 10 Silver Coins per bottle, a full five times increase, which drove the alchemists who could make the Beginner Holy Spirit Potion crazy.
The recipe for the Beginner Holy Spirit Potion was not difficult to obtain. There was a chance for it to drop in ordinary level 30 or higher team dungeons, but the chance was very low, so there were not many Beginner Holy Spirit Potion recipes on the market. The required raw materials were also very common, mainly needing a rare herb, the Holy Spirit Flower, which cost less than one Silver Coin.
Shi Feng thought of this and immediately took action.
This was a great opportunity to make money.
Emerald City had millions of players. When people realized the good way to mine in Bone Town, a large number of players would flock there. The size of this market was unimaginable.
Afterwards, Shi Feng changed the name of the Crescent Merchant Firm to Candlelight Merchant Firm. All the original life players and goods of the Crescent Merchant Firm were removed from the shelves, and he went to the City Hall and spent one thousand gold to change to the highest-level storefront, and also hired NPCs to start acquiring various ores, herbs, and emeralds.
As for the sale of Candlelight goods and other personnel arrangements, Shi Feng directly handed them over to the management players of the Candlelight Merchant Firm, while he himself ran to the major auction houses of the Black Dragon Empire to buy recipes for the Beginner Holy Spirit Potion and Holy Spirit Flowers.
After spending most of the day, Shi Feng bought all the Beginner Holy Spirit Potion recipes on the market in the entire Black Dragon Empire.
There were a total of 776 recipes. Although the recipes were easy to obtain, the drop rate was really not high.
The price of a Beginner Holy Spirit Potion recipe on the market was not expensive, only thirty-five to forty Silver Coins, costing less than three hundred gold in total, mainly because the Beginner Holy Spirit Potion was not very useful and was not a commonly made and best-selling potion for alchemists. If it were replaced by a recipe for an Intermediate Recovery Potion or an Intermediate Mana Recovery Potion, it would be much more expensive.
776 recipes were enough for all the alchemists in the Candlelight Merchant Firm to learn, and there were still many left over.
In addition, Shi Feng also bought a lot of Holy Spirit Flowers, a full six thousand five hundred stacks, with 20 Holy Spirit Flowers in each stack. The market price was about twelve to thirteen Silver Coins per stack, costing Shi Feng more than 800 gold.
"In the next period of time, I just need to have the Candlelight Merchant Firm constantly collect Holy Spirit Flowers everywhere." Shi Feng was basically satisfied with the acquired Holy Spirit Flowers.
Holy Spirit Flowers were, after all, rare herbs. Many large guilds would not sell them at all after obtaining them, and would put them in the guild warehouse. Only free players would sell them after obtaining them, so the number of Holy Spirit Flowers that could be bought was very limited.
Six thousand five hundred stacks of Holy Spirit Flowers, if all made into Beginner Holy Spirit Potions, would be enough for the players in Emerald City to use for a good period of time. As long as the Candlelight Merchant Firm's subsequent acquisition of Holy Spirit Flowers could keep up, Emerald City could become one of the Candlelight Merchant Firm's stable sources of income for a considerable period of time.
Moreover, Shi Feng also spent a full three thousand gold to establish the Zero Wing Guild's Advanced Guild Hall in Lakeside City.
Although the piece of land bought from Feng Qianyu was not as large as the Zero Wing headquarters's land, the towering Advanced Guild Hall still surprised the players in Lakeside City.
"Hmm, this guild is so grand!"
"I wonder what guild this is that has come here to develop."
"It shouldn't be a large guild, right? Maybe it's a third-rate guild."
"That's right, we're in Lakeside City, large guilds wouldn't look favorably on us here."
There were not many players in Lakeside City. Because it was a city on an island, and the surrounding leveling environment was very good, the number of players was only over one hundred thousand. First-rate guilds were simply unwilling to spend their efforts in such a desolate city, and the guild that ruled this city was only a second-rate guild, and the main city operated by this second-rate guild was not Lakeside City, but another large city with more than 500,000 people.
Therefore, the guild residences established in Lakeside City were very ordinary guild halls. How could they be as magnificent as the Zero Wing Guild's Advanced Guild Hall?
"Ah, no, look at the mark on that guild flag, it seems to be the six-winged emblem of the Zero Wing Guild!"
