four years
The raw materials for the Mana Recovery Potion could be seen everywhere on the continent. They were all weeds that were treated as trash by people. Li Feng deliberately added some useless materials to confuse those who wanted to imitate them. Even so, the cost of the Mana Recovery Potion was only 30 copper coins. Philip could make more than 100 times the profit if he sold it to the Holy See. Even if he sold the potion to the Holy See, Li Feng would still set the price at 25 silver coins per bottle.
Four years had passed in the blink of an eye. The Rhode Family had relied on the Magic Recovery Potion to increase their wealth to a level comparable to the four major merchant associations. It was estimated that Philip's wealth had reached an astonishing 700 million gold coins.
With so many gold coins, it was inevitable that people would be eyeing them. However, the Third Knight Regiment of the Holy See and the grade-9 warriors that Philip had hired with a lot of money (anyone could be invited as long as the price was high enough, but the Sanctuary-realm was not something that money could hire) and the grade-9 archmage that Philip had left in the mansion for the sake of magic recovery potions were repelled. It was still considered to be safe.
It was already the spring of the year 9990. This year's autumn was the day the Ernst Institute began to recruit new students, and that was also the time when Philip would hand over the formula for the magic recovery potion to the Radiant Church.
However, Li Feng requested that Philip hand over the Magic Recovery Potion to the Holy See in February. He also requested that Philip hand over the Magic Recovery Potion manufacturing workshop and the family's territory to the Holy See.
Philip was unwilling at first, but Li Feng insisted that he do it. Although he did not know why Li Feng did this, Philip's current net worth had already exceeded 700 million. It was very likely that it would reach 10 billion in half a year.
Two years ago, Philip no longer cared much about the territory. All he cared about was the Magic Recovery Potion Workshop in his hands. However, Li Feng said that after the Holy See obtained the formula of the Magic Recovery Potion, would they still allow him to make the Magic Recovery Potion? Obviously, they would not. Therefore, Philip finally agreed reluctantly.
February 9990. Holy Capital, the residence of the red-robed Archbishop Guillermo.
Philip gave Guillermo the formula and production process of the Mana Recovery Potion without adding any useless materials. Guillermo looked at the production materials and cost, and his face was full of excitement. He was about to fly into a rage. Before Guillermo could say anything, Philip gave Guillermo a formula with useless materials added, and asked them to produce the potion according to the formula with added materials. He also promised that he would not produce any more Mana Recovery Potions.
In order to express his sincerity, Philip said that he would give all 20 manufacturing workshops under his name (expanded in three years) and his territory to the Church in half a year. He would buy a mansion in Fenlai City and move to the Holy Capital.
Guillermo did not get angry at Philip, but in exchange, Philip requested that the Holy See not disclose or leak any information regarding the formula of the magic recovery potion before the Magic Academy enrolled students. Furthermore, Philip would officially move to Fenlai City before the enrollment of the Academy of Magic.
After Guillermo obtained the magic recovery potion and Philip's complete production base, he naturally would not be calculative about such a small matter. Thus, he readily agreed.
Guillermo did not know that because he had agreed to this small matter, Philip had once again plundered nearly five billion gold coins in the first two months of the enrollment of the magic academy.
In the autumn of the year 9990, Philip's wealth reached a shocking 15 billion gold, causing Guillermo, who had come to deliver Li Feng's letter of acceptance to the Ernst Institute, to grit his teeth in hatred.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed. During these two months, Philip had spent fourteen million gold coins to buy a large mansion on the eastern main street of Fenlai City, the Fragrant Pavilion Avenue. It was said that this mansion belonged to a former archduke, but because his family was in decline and could no longer make a living, he had no choice but to sell the mansion to survive.
A mansion with a long history was Philip's favorite. Since Philip happened to be there, of course, he would not let it go. Therefore, under the attack of Philip's wealth, he defeated more than ten competitors in succession and finally won it at the high price of 14 million gold coins.
It couldn't be helped. Philip had been too powerful in the past four years. Other than the four major chambers of commerce, the four empires, and the two alliances, no one would dare to compete with Philip in terms of wealth.
Philip's family was still living in Buer City, and the things in the Buer City mansion were being continuously transferred to Fenlai City. Of course, these things were all carried out by Steward Sunil and King Xiao Liu, while Philip enjoyed the luxurious life of the rich to his heart's content.
Another half a month later, Philip and Li Feng rode a carriage towards Wushan Town. There were a total of four carriages, with Li Feng and Philip in the middle, and three warriors of the ninth rank and two Great Magi of the ninth rank protecting them.
Philip was so rich that it made people jealous. Philip cared a lot about his safety. If Li Feng had not encouraged him to come, Philip would not have taken the risk.
The reason why Philip went to Wushan township was because the Baruch family had sent out news two days ago that they were going to sell a stone sculpture, the "Fierce Lion". Due to Li Feng's appearance, the plot had changed. Philip was very rich now. In the past few years, he had seen and bought many historical relics. Therefore, Philip's standards were now high, and he still looked down on Hogg's stone sculpture, the "Fierce Lion".
However, Li Feng wanted to see just how far Linley had grown, so he urged Philip to buy the 'Ferocious Lion'. Philip was very fond of Li Feng.
It was not only because Philip only had Li Feng as his only child, but most importantly, Li Feng had brought him good luck. Li Feng's Magic Recovery Potion had created wealth that he could not imagine in ten lifetimes in four years, so he came under Li Feng's instigation.
As for our pig trotter, Li Feng, in these four years, other than the first few months of his research on magic recovery potions, he spent the rest of his time studying the genes of the two Shadowmice and Stoneater Rats during the day and cultivating at night. Now, Li Feng already has the strength of a Warrior of the Third Rank, and the strength of his soul is equivalent to a Magician of the Third Rank.
In the early stages, the Stoneater Rats had grown too fast, and the cage they were locked in had to be changed every two days. Fortunately, Philip had managed to trick two Ninth-Grade Archmages into coming over. With the help of the two Ninth-Grade Archmages, he had set up a "magic contract" and turned all four little rats into his own magical beasts. The Ninth-Grade Archmage had been Philip's vassal for the Magic Recovery Potion. Since he was living under someone else's roof, as the eldest young master and Philip's only son, Li Feng only needed to set up a small matter like a "magic contract". Of course, they wouldn't disagree.
After contracting four mice, Li Feng's experiments were much easier. Before the contract, every time Li Feng took their blood, he was worried that he would be bitten or they would run away. Therefore, before Li Feng took their blood, he would starve them for a few days before taking their blood. After they were exhausted, he dared to take their blood.
After the contract, the four little fellows were very obedient. There was nothing they could do if they were not obedient.
After four years of research, Li Feng had almost reached a bottleneck. A year ago, Li Feng had discovered an extremely special gene strand in the blood of four little mice. Li Feng guessed that this special gene strand was the source of the Godeater Rats 'innate talent. However, after countless generations of bloodline thinning, Li Feng had been unable to obtain complete genetic data, so Li Feng's Godeater Rat plan had never been realized. This was also the reason why Li Feng had gone to see Linley. Li Feng wanted to get to know him first. Fortunately, in the future, he would be able to obtain a genetic sample from Bebe, the Godeater Rat. As for Beirut, Li Feng had never considered him. But of course, Li Feng didn't dare to consider him.
Although Li Feng had attended Linley's one-month-old ceremony, that had been when Linley was still a little brat. Linley wouldn't have any impression of him. Right now, Li Feng had urged Philip to buy the 'Fierce Lion' to increase his impression of him. Otherwise, Li Feng wouldn't have wanted to see this heaven-defying body of karmic luck that he couldn't even avoid.
