Chapter 123: Daisy’s Plans
"A Flame?"
Of all the answers, Tyler wasn’t expecting it to be a flame.
The actual treasure hidden underneath the mines of this city was a flame, and not just any ordinary flame, but a powerful Heavenly Flame.
Heaven Freezing Flame!
"So, are you going to absorb this flame?"
Daisy asked, standing next to a large hole made by Nezumi. Even though Nezumi couldn’t approach it, it had reached close enough to find it.
According to the rat, if they could keep themselves safe from the freezing temperatures, they could reach there.
Surprisingly enough, it was nearly fifteen kilometers deep.
Considering the size of their planet, Tyler wasn’t surprised. He just found it surprising that the effects of the flame hadn’t touched the surface.
"Teacher, are you sure this is a Heavenly Flame?"
Just for confirmation, Tyler asked again.
"Why do you think it is not?"
Xue asked with a confused tone. She couldn’t understand why Tyler wouldn’t believe her.
"Because Heavenly Flames are supposed to be extremely powerful. This flame isn’t even affecting the surface or this city."
Tyler folded his hand and replied.
Daisy heard him talking to himself and didn’t disturb him.
"Because of its special nature!"
"What nature?"
Tyler couldn’t help but feel curious.
"This is one of the most conflicting flames of the universe. Even though it is a flame, it acts like ice, which makes it different."
"Because of this, it has a natural restriction on itself. Only when it is controlled by someone does it show the effects of burning and freezing."
"But since it is not controlled by anything, it releases a small portion of its freezing flame. This flame is exceptionally hot, but it also has a cold attribute."
Hearing that, Tyler asked.
"So, it can freeze someone while burning them?"
"No, the most attractive part of this flame is that it can do both. It can freeze something, or it can burn something."
"It can even do both at the same time. But its temperature doesn’t increase to very high degrees."
"That’s why it lies towards the lower end of the ranking. Even Azure Flame could burn hotter than this flame."
"Of course, if you want to capture it, it’s better for you to reach the Inner World Formation Realm."
"Even with your Flame Devouring Technique, you will not be able to absorb it into your body without suffering from serious injuries."
Xue answered.
"I see!"
Tyler nodded and looked at Daisy.
"I can’t absorb it now. It seems like I need to reach the Inner World Formation Realm. But to reach that level, I need to complete a few steps."
Hearing his words, Daisy shook her head.
"Don’t worry about anything else! Just leave the city in my hands."
Her words brightened his expression. He smiled and nodded.
"I’m glad to leave this city in your hands. Then, I will just focus on my cultivation."
"Okay! I will ask Sher King to prepare that bomb. We will need your mana, so once you finish, you need to come out every week."
"By the way, is it possible to wake you up from your cultivation in case of emergency?"
Daisy asked.
Tyler thought for a moment.
"Teacher, is there a way?"
"Not right now! At least, you can’t do it on your own. If you want to do it, you need to upgrade your cultivation realm to the Soul Sublimation Realm."
"Then, put a small portion of your soul energy in a talisman and give it to others. The moment they tear off the talisman, your soul will feel it."
"That can alert you no matter what you are doing. For now, I will help you with this."
Xue said as a small piece of paper flew out of his body and landed in Daisy’s hand.
"What is this?"
Daisy asked.
"It’s a piece of paper. You just need to tear it up to remind my teacher. Then, she can remind me."
Tyler explained the hidden mechanism of this paper.
Daisy’s expression changed.
"Wait, isn’t that Communication Talisman?"
Tyler shook his head.
"In Communication Talisman, you need to put a little bit of soul power, but you don’t need to tear it apart."
"But it is also possible to miss because it doesn’t alert the soul but rather simply stores soul energy to identify the contact."
Daisy thought for a moment and nodded.
"Indeed! Communication Talisman works similarly to phones, while this method works like an alarm."
Hearing that, Tyler nodded.
"That’s right!"
After that, they talked about a few things like the city’s expansion.
That was quite a long topic since Daisy had to report on every part of the land they were planning on acquiring.
Since most of the land wasn’t owned by the government, they had to pay a hefty amount to get that land.
Fortunately, during wartime, the government also wants them to stay in the country and protect it.
So, they usually decrease the land cost during this time. Daisy planned to buy a thousand square kilometers of land.
This was gonna cost them more than a billion gold coins. Normally, it would’ve cost more than two billion.
But the cost had decreased during wartime, which was why Daisy planned to buy this much land.
After buying this land, she also planned to use much of their wealth to vigorously develop it while destroying the walls around their current city.
Originally, she planned to keep the walls, but Tyler disagreed.
He knew if they kept the walls, it would make those who live outside the walls less significant, even though that shouldn’t be the case.
This whole project was gonna cost them two billion gold coins, which was a lot of money but still under their budget.
This was money they didn’t plan to use on the weapons industry or even on the newspaper industry for a reason.
Out of seven billion, they only planned to spend five hundred million on newspapers while spending one billion and five hundred in weapons.
Originally, both companies would’ve taken at least two to three months to properly establish themselves.
But with this much money, they could immediately establish several factories while also hiring more blacksmiths.
Daisy had already used her previous connections to hire a large number of construction workers.
According to her, if there is no attack in the city within two weeks, then Tyler will see a completely new city after two weeks.
This was her promise, and Tyler respected her enthusiasm.
He couldn’t imagine how depressing it would’ve been if he had to focus on these things while also focusing on his cultivation.
Even if he could bear it, it would’ve taken a lot of time out of his hands.
Right now, he was closing in on six months.
That meant if he could reach the Soul Sublimation Realm within another six months, he could easily acquire several mines from the family.
He wouldn’t even need to rely on the elder’s favor to keep fifty percent. He could just do it because every elder was a Master.
That meant you could only become an elder after becoming a Master.
Before leaving, Tyler also found out about Garvin’s plan for his enhancement.
Previously, he was busy with his cultivation, so Daisy gave him the right to use their budget to buy resources for him and his wife.
With these resources, both could proceed towards the Soul Sublimation Realm.
Then, this city alone would consist of six masters without counting Tyler.
Tyler wasn’t a Master, but he could reach that level of strength quite easily.
Right now, he was stronger than Daisy or Elena, even though their cultivation was higher and their techniques were also better.
Especially after the previous dual cultivation.
"That’s all?"
Tyler asked.
Daisy couldn’t help but chuckle.
"You look like you are already exhausted."
"Come on, Daisy! The more I think about these things, the more changes I want to make, but I also know I can’t do that."
"Your plans are already good. If I randomly try to change anything, it will only cause more problems."
Tyler helplessly replied.
He wasn’t tired of their conversation. He just couldn’t help but think about more possibilities for the city.
But he also knew he didn’t have any concrete plans. So, he could only think about it in his mind.
"Well, you should just focus on cultivation. Leave the city to me! Elena is already working with Sher King on those machines."
"Once their creation is ready, our factories can finally start working. By the way, I forgot to mention the array."
"Due to her previous enlightenment, Elena finished the Mana Storage Array in two days, but we haven’t started collecting mana."
"I have an idea I wanted to discuss with you. I almost forgot about it."
Daisy’s expression got serious as she said.
"Do you think I should hire more array masters, give them the design of the Mana Storage Array, and ask them to make several more of them?"
Hearing that, Tyler’s eyes narrowed.
"Is Elena getting overwhelmed?"
Daisy nodded.
"For a short time, this is the only method that can help her. But if we do that, these array masters will learn about our arrays."
"Our secret will leak for sure!"
