(Big chapter asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)_4 Promotional events were a means of publicity, but the real profit still depended on the quality and reputation of the artifacts sold at the Fire Dragon Shop.

Thus, the Fire Dragon Shop made a resounding comeback.

Over the following year, its name gradually spread throughout the Endless Sea, and it even gained a small degree of fame among other Schools.

Coupled with the Holy Infant’s strict control over product quality, the shop’s business thrived daily.

Some were happy, others were worried.

In the residence of the Schubert Family.

The council chamber.

Four senior members of the family, all primordial soul wizards, were gathered together with serious expressions on their faces.

It seemed they were waiting for an even more important guest.

It wasn’t long before
a man with golden hair dressed in a gold robe embroidered with lightning motifs arrived on a purple electric eel two hundred meters long, descending from the void.

Both man and beast emanated an aura of the sixth circle!

Clan Leader Qilute and three branch leaders stood to greet him with a smile.

These three were all the sixth-circle wizardly strength of the Schubert Family.

The family head was a six-circle perfect wizard.

Among the three clan leaders, Piero was a sixth ring senior wizard, while the other two, Damont and Matro, were ordinary sixth-ring wizards.

Unlike other families, the Schubert family had once had a very powerful array wizard ancestor, so the primordial souls within the family were all noble array wizards, often stronger than those of other families.

Still, even in front of this golden-haired young man, even the six-ring perfect cultivation family head had a somewhat ingratiating smile.

“Electric Eel Wizard, we apologize for not greeting you from afar.

What brings you to this place?”
This young man was none other than the prodigy of the Letney Family,
Electric Eel WizardA*Ooi Vander.

He became famous at a young age and was the top prodigy of the Golden Light Wizard generation.

His grandfather was even the Molten Gold Wizard King.

Even his mount was a sixth-ring sub-dragon kind, the Wild Electric Dragon Eel.

His noble status was clearly evident.

Nearly two hundred years ago, at the age of four hundred, he ascended to primordial soul, and now, after decades, he had entered into the ranks of a sixth-ring veteran wizard.

He also served as a high-level law enforcer in the Star Tower’s Law Enforcement Department.

Fame, power, and status, none of his peers could reach him.

The Electric Eel Wizard got straight to the point:
“Why was there almost ten percent less Aether Stone submitted last year?”
Qilute said,
“Your Excellency Electric Eel, we had no choice.

In the past two years, the Fire Dragon Shop has been back, and they’ve even launched a lottery event, using such shameless methods to seize a portion of the market.”
The Electric Eel Wizard frowned and said,
“I just finished my retreat…

Are you saying Master Fire Dragon has appeared again?”
Qilute said,
“Yes, and he has opened his shop in Zone One again.

You know his fame, as soon as he opened, our sales plummeted.”
The Electric Eel Wizard said,
“What if you lower the prices?”
Qilute shook his head,
“Your Excellency, we can’t afford to lower them anymore.

Our prices are already below the normal market value.

Any lower, and I’m afraid we’d be selling at a loss, especially since we’ve hired quite a few weapon craftsmen.”
The Electric Eel Wizard stated,
“Continue contacting those from the organization and ask them to make a move for us again, to deal with the Fire Dragon Wizard.

Now is the best opportunity, before he ascends to primordial soul and becomes even tougher to handle!”
Qilute hesitated,
“Your Excellency, the congress has been strict in their investigations lately.

It would be better for us to limit our contact with the people from that organization…”
The Electric Eel Wizard said,
“What are you afraid of?

I’m acquainted with everyone in the Law Enforcement Department, and the department head is my grandfather.

Who could trace back to you?”
Qilute said,
“Isn’t it said that the Central Realm has sent a special Patrol Wizard here to investigate this matter?”
The Electric Eel Wizard dismissed the concern with a laugh,
“It’s just our own people overseeing each other, what are you afraid of?

With such timidity, how are you to mix in the Wizard World?

Fortune favors the bold, don’t you understand?

As long as your family remains diligent in working for us, as long as our family stands, yours will too.

The depth of a top wizard organization is beyond your imagination…

If a day comes when the Golden Lightning falls, that’s when the sky of the Wizard World will completely change, and we’ll all be done for.”
Qilute felt a wave of despair in his heart and said,
“Let’s try once more.”
…

In the Holy Brilliance Calendar year 1381, the Month of Winter.

Ancient Banyan Fairyland.

By the Small Stone Pond.

Levi awoke from his secluded retreat.

In his mind, he now had eighty maximum spirit forces.

“391 years old…”
Levi felt somewhat sentimental.

But relative to his age, he was still eighteen.

Forever young!

“The difficulty of condensing the last maximum spirit surpassed all before; it used to take 20 points of spiritual force to condense one, but the last one requires 399 points to be condensed together.

Looks like it won’t be possible to come out without another ten years.”
This path became increasingly difficult the further one travelled.

Levi was finally experiencing this first-hand.

Of course, it was also because he, himself, had pushed his spiritual force to the abnormal level of 1999.

While he had been in seclusion, the Holy Infant had managed the Fire Dragon Shop excellently, and he was quite pleased.

“It’s a pity that some people, unable to see others thrive, always try to compete with unfair practices…accustomed to using power to solve everything, this is a common human failing.”
Just then, he received fresh intelligence from Allison, a member of the Schubert Family bound by his contract.

The family had assigned him a task: to closely monitor the actions of Master Fire Dragon and report at all times.

Though he did not know the purpose of the task,
Levi could affirm.

The previous assassination attempt on the Holy Infant must have been connected to the Schubert Family.

Knowing full well the not-so-modest background of the Fire Dragon Shop, backed by the Flower Witch, they still dared to act.

The Schubert Family was bold.

Undoubtedly, it was their true master, the Letney Family, that emboldened them.
