Chapter 24 - Ice Wand

Then, Ron opened his palm and with a thought, a miniature magic power formation appeared in his palm instantly. The magic runes on it continued to glow. With another thought from him, instantly, a ball of water was successfully condensed and it rolled continuously as if it was alive.

“Condense!”

With a thought from Ron, that magic formation instantly surged with magical power, and then emitted a wave of cold spell. The ball of water in his hand froze into a ball of ice instantly. Then, it changed again and became a dagger made of ice.

This was his ability. He could control water, unleash some cold air and condense it to form ice weapons. This was similar to Romo’s ability.

Ron was overjoyed. He was a Great Mage now, just like his grandfather Norton. With two Great Magi in one family, they would definitely be able to establish a firm footing in Winterfrost without worry of being oppressed by others. He was most grateful to his Old Ancestor, Romo, for his great achievements.

In the next few days, Ron continued to cultivate diligently daily. He dared not to waste a single moment and his cultivation progressed rapidly.

Separately, during this period of time, the Nicholas family clan experienced one good thing after another. The same could be said of their businesses. The teahouse business had been really brisk. The new tea was exclusive to their teahouse, so anyone who wanted to drink this tea had to come to their teahouse to buy it. The demand had exceeded the supply. It was the same for the clothing store.

Nonetheless, these two businesses were no longer the most profitable businesses of the Nicholas family clan. Their soap business had become the most profitable.

Just a few days ago, they had finally started the mass production of their soap and also selling it in Winterfrost. As soon as the soap was introduced, it became an instant hit in the city. Almost everyone came to their shop to buy soap. As the price of their soap was very affordable, everyone was able to use it. Now, they had opened a specialty shop to sell their soap but there was a long queue every day. Their soap factory was running production 24 hours a day. Even so, the supply was still insufficient to meet the demand.

Sonia had no choice but to build a second factory, and a third was also in the plans.

Just as they were fretting over not being able to satisfy the needs of their city, a few merchants from the nearby cities came knocking on their door. Furthermore, they had asked for thousands or even tens of thousands of soap. More importantly, the price they offered was the same as their retail price!

This was a big deal. Unfortunately, their productivity was insufficient at the moment. They could not even satisfy the demand of their local city, how could they have extra to sell to other cities?

These people did not manage to buy the soap, so they asked for their method to make soap. Upon hearing their request, Sonia rejected it outrightly without even thinking.

What a joke! Their soap is an exclusive product. If they can safeguard the method of making soap, they will be able to continue to produce the soap endlessly and be able to reap huge profits every day. How can they sell such an important method of making soap?

In the factory, they had a very strict system on confidentiality. The crucial production steps were all undertaken by the Nicholas family clansmen. This was to prevent the formula from being stolen.

On the other hand, where cultivation was concerned, the effects on the family clan were also obvious. Presently, the family members had all switched to the new meditation technique. The high-grade silver-tier meditation technique had increased everyone’s cultivation speed by more than double. During this period of time, there was continually someone advancing to the next level. Some had even advanced by two or three small realms. This enabled the overall strength of the Nicholas family clan to increase rapidly.

Most noteworthy was Norlin.

He had successfully advanced to the realm of the Great Mage two days ago. On the surface, the Nicholas family clan already had two Great Magi.

This morning, everyone from the Nicholas family had returned, and they had already been busy since early in the morning. It was Arthur’s full month today. After everyone had gathered, they came to the ancestral hall under Norton’s lead to pay respect to their Old Ancestor, Romo.

[Ding… Worship by descendant. Received 200 Faith Points!]

[Ding… Worship by descendant. Received 200 Faith Points!]

[Ding… Worship by descendant. Received 200 Faith Points!]

…

Currently, the several core members of the family clan contributed the most Faith Points during their worship as they all knew clearly that the Old Ancestor existed.

Even for the ordinary clansmen, their Faith Points had also been increasing.

However, it was a pity that all the Faith Candles had been used up. Hence, the Faith Points did not double. Even so, the worship by the entire clan this time had enabled Romo to obtain more than 3,000 Faith Points. It could be said that he had a bountiful gain.

[Ding… The worship by the entire clan has been completed. You have received 4 half-priced items. The host, please check them out as soon as possible.] The System’s voice sounded again after everyone had paid their respects.

“Hehe, half-priced merchandise, here I come.”

When Romo heard the System prompt, he immediately opened the System Shop. Sure enough, the top four items were all half-priced items.

The first item is the Fertility Enhancement Talisman. Needless to say, it is something to increase the family size. It is priced at 1,000 Faith Points.

The second is the Realm Upgrade Protection Talisman. It is priced at 1,000 Faith Points.

The third one is a random gold-tier magic weapon. It is priced at 30,000 Faith Points.

The fourth is a random silver-tier cultivation technique. It is priced at 10,000 Faith Points.

After he had gone through them, Romo wanted to buy every one of them. However, he looked at his wallet.

40,000 plus Faith Points.

Indeed, he was able to buy all of them. However, in this way, his Faith Points would be all gone. He considered carefully. Now, Romo already had a few silver-tier cultivation techniques, and the Wave Meditation Technique was even a high-grade silver-tier meditation technique. Getting another one would not be of much use. He decided not to buy it. This way, he could leave 10,000 Faith Points for emergencies.

After consideration, Romo bought the first three items. Then, Romo immediately used the third one, the random gold-tier magic weapon.

[Ding… Congratulations to the host for obtaining a gold-tier magic weapon, the Ice Wand!]

[Ice Wand: A low-grade gold-tier magic weapon. Legend has it that this was the weapon which had once belonged to a Divine Mage from ancient times. He had killed an Ice Dragon and sealed the soul of the Ice Dragon in the weapon, enabling the wand to possess the power of the Ice Dragon. However, for some reason, the soul of the Ice Dragon has become extremely debilitated and is no longer able to unleash its full power.. Faith Points can be used to restore the soul of the Ice Dragon and reproduce the power of this divine ancient weapon!]
