Volume 4 Chapter 74 - Pay with what? (1/2)

Volume 4 After being rejected by Xu Yi, elder Illusia and elder Lisanya didn’t mention this matter for the following time, but they focused on helping Xu Yi grasp the unique meditation method of the elves.

After a month of focused training, Xu Yi had finally grasped a special meditation method from other human magicians.

The elves were the ones who taught humans magic. Although the elves had weakened over the thousands of years, their study in magic was much more advanced compared to humans. Adding in the accumulation of over ten thousand years, it allowed the elves to have outstanding aspects when it came to their magic.

This meditation method was one of those.

After grasping the method of the elves, Xu Yi tested it and found that there was a clear difference when it came to recovering and increasing the magic compared to his meditation method from before.

Although this required the two elders to “purify” his body several times to adapt to the magic circulation, there was no doubt of the meditation method’s advantages.

Based on his speed before, if Xu Yi continued to increase his magic at a stable rate, he would have been able to control Space Magic by the age of forty and truly become a Great Magician.

But with this meditation method, Xu Yi’s magic increased greatly, saving him at least half the time.

To be optimistic, Xu Yi could become a great Great Magician before he turned thirty five.

As for the magic research, that depended on Xu Yi’s comprehension.

But this problem was what gave Xu Yi the biggest headache, which was an issue that Great Magician Camilla and the two elders were helpless over.

Xu Yi always attached importance to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the development of the magic machine industry, so his interest in magic was always secondary.

So he wouldn’t invest all his effort into studying magic like other magicians, which meant that he didn’t improve as fast as possible.

The only comfort was that Xu Yi was an outstanding talent, he understood magic far better than a normal magician.

Normally speaking, as long as his magic power could keep up, there was no magic that he couldn’t comprehend.

So in the end, his magic power had to reach the level of a Great Magician before he could really charge into the Great Magician realm.

There was no shortcut in accumulating magic power. Even if Xu Yi had the special meditation method of the elves and his magic was greatly increasing each day, he had to meditate each day and accumulate bit by bit, waiting for that day to come.

Whether it was Great Magician Camilla or the two elders, they couldn’t do a thing when it came to this. So when Xu Yi grasped the meditation method of the elves, the two elders returned to their respective tribes.

Before they left, they didn’t mention the matter of marriage with Xu Yi again, which made Xu Yi think that they really gave up on this idea.

In order to increase his magic, Xu Yi had been delayed for more than two months. When the two elders left, he went back to normal from wildly studying magic and he found that there were a bunch of things for him to take care of.

In the middle of August, when the weather was at its hottest, Xu Yi appeared on the production base on the Black Rice Wasteland.

Actually it wasn’t accurate to call this place a production base now since after the Frestech Chamber of Commerce left the Lampuri Kingdom, then all the other Banta City companies followed them, this production base that had been less than twenty square kilometers had increased in size by more than ten times.

There was now an industrial sector that had various large and small factories, as well as a living area that was constructed by the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, and there was a shopping area with all kinds of stores all over.

Then with all the various training camps of the various companies’ guards and the other management centers, this area took over ten square kilometers and was equal to a medium sized city in the Lampuri Kingdom.

Because there were various companies gathered here, with many factories and a large population, the prosperity of this place could compare to Banta City from before.

The Amrit Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Cruise had proposed that they develop a new city here and build a city wall around them. They would create defenses around the city, which could help block the harassment of the blind beastmen.

But Xu Yi had rejected this proposal.

The main reason for this was because this was a business area built by the various companies, it wasn’t supposed to be a foundation for a city.

Without leadership in place, even if most of the companies listened to Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it was hard to unite everyone here.

Next, Xu Yi didn’t want this place to become a traditional city. He wanted to create a free trade center here, which would become the magic machine industry center for the Sines Continent.

The Black Rice Wasteland was rare to control because of the beastmen who had taken this place, but it was very suitable to establish a new order here.
