The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 2035

Chapter 2035: Nothing Is Free

A day later, and the furor of the early opening had begun to die down, and the line for the arena began to change. Not slow, never that. But it began to change as all the allied Guilds to the New Home Merchant Clan began sending younger members over to earn their own resources.

The dungeon was as good as a Clan Quest, in that they would certainly get something to trade for resources, or directly get the resources that they needed.

They also realized that Karl had massively underpriced it, charging the equivalent of one Clan Credit per Spirit Immortal member per run, when the average haul was closer to ten credits worth of loot.

There was very little chance of losing out.

But the Allied Clan leaders were beginning to realize that the price of entry was not the point. At least, not to the Darklight Host.

Their members wanted more of the rare resources that came out of the dungeons, and for that, they needed as many people as possible going through them. The dungeon seldom dropped items above Rare Grade, unless your group could do a higher difficulty.

So, having all these Spirit Immortals massively increased the customer base for the shops in town selling Epic Grade and Peerless Equipment, while producing the resources that the Darklight Host needed.

You couldn’t buy a Peerless Grade item with money.

You had to buy it with resources.

That was common knowledge long before Karl had ever set foot in this world. The difference was that now Karl was using the elemental resources to make Peerless Grade training items that boosted growth. They were entirely made of dungeon resources, specialty metals, stones and gems.

But the Darklight Guild Shop put up two or three physical element aligned items per day that those with the local System, or a Cultivation type System could use to increase their growth rate by a third.

That alone was insane.

But the fact that the Darklight Host had put them up for sale two days in a row, and didn’t limit the sale to Elders only was even more insane.

If they just stayed here long enough, gathering the sorts of things that the Darklight Host wanted, the forgotten outer members of these Clans and Sects could buy something that would directly increase their growth to the point that they would catch up to the standards for better treatment.

They could stay and get more resources, until they had something that would give them enough benefit that they could go home and get more resources.

A self-sustaining cycle.

Of course, for most of the stronger Immortals, even a third faster was not going to cause any short-term breakthroughs.

The average Immortal took three to five hundred years to go from the start of Ascended Immortal to the Peak. Taking a third from that was no small feat. But that still meant that a newly transformed Ascended Immortal would still need centuries to reach Peak Immortal.
