Chapter 835: Pearls

Since he was here anyway and battling Demonic Fish to search for improvement in his understanding of laws, he acted just like the others here did. The things he killed were made of valuable materials and the hunting they were doing formed a huge supply of raw materials that the locals happily engaged in business with them for. Sage had no idea where it was all going, but then he realized that it didnt have to go anywhere. The majority of the materials they collected were in the fifth tier and so wouldnt make up the most common trade on the outside. After a few weeks selling away his gains he realized that the materials were being sold back to local craftspeople, of which many of them were foreign cultivators.

It was only then that Sage realized why there were so few high level craftspeople in the Kingdoms hed visited. Even the Holy Flame Sect, a place formed by Professionals for protection and profit, had a small number of masters. Hed always been warned that those who reach the peak would be offered lucrative terms to abandon their roots. There were also rumors about young geniuses who had left the sect. It seems that hed found where most of them disappeared to. He knew that the royal families of kingdoms were also eager to recruit them, but theyd have to compete with the excellent conditions he saw here. With such a large volume of high level materials passing through the city every day, a Professional would never be at a loss for practice materials.

The only downside he could think of was that the majority of the materials here were all from sea creatures. That would mean all their experience here might not serve them as well if they switch over to other types of Demonic Beast materials. Even so, this was only a small detriment at best and most Professions used highly refined versions of these materials. What did it matter if the powdered tooth an Alchemist used came from a shark or a tiger. A true master would be able to test and discover all the exact qualities of their materials no matter the source.The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

Sage was pretty sure the Professionals here were those with deep and rich backgrounds. Those with weaker heritages would either not be invited here or theyd be taken into some other power in order to give them a better foundation. Those sorts of backgrounds meant that they would all have the best techniques and methods. They would be the sort that had ways to know exactly what they were working with and switching between fish parts and deer parts wouldnt cause any problems. Only the shallowest Profession foundations relied on using very specific quantities of very specific materials for their recipes. Most of them balanced the type and quality of the energies a material contained, not the material itself.

The most extraordinary of which was owned by one of the local overlords. While he wasnt the City Lord, he was in the upper echelons and this fellow seemed to be in competition with the City Lord on who had the best. To snub the City Lord, this man, Lord Aballaron, opened his second best aquatic garden up to the public. He claimed that this public display was almost as good as the City Lords, while his best aquatic garden was the greatest in Deep Shore. By showing it off to everyone he raised his own status and popularity. The entry fees to view the garden were only enough to pay a portion of the upkeep costs of such an elaborate place. He also put the City Lord into a tight spot. Would he show off his private garden to prove how much better it was than Aballarons? Worse yet, since the man claimed it was his second best, after they saw the City Lords garden, wouldnt they think even more highly of Lord Aballaron?

If he shows his private garden to prove Aballaron wrong, then the man was crazy enough to spend a fortune to copy his garden at a larger scale. It had happened once before in the past, so the City Lord was forced to constantly change the subject anytime it was brought up. It was especially bad when Lord Aballaron caught him in public and constantly bragged.

Sage thought this little feud was quite funny, but he really didnt care much about it. Unfortunately, he was forced to listen to an overly aggrandized and pompous version of this story told by the tour guide that was forced upon him. By the time hed finished touring the immense aquatic garden hed heard about this event a few dozen times and hed ended up building a blueprint for the whole place on the Inner World.

If I have to hear about this crap any more I swear Im going to build an even bigger aquatic garden and rub both their faces in it.
