138 Money

Anna and Audrey couldn't believe that this was the same tower as the region's famous martial tower. This was the basis for the creation of the martial city as well as the reason for its strength.

Stealing this tower would be the same as amputating an arm for the martial city!

Anna could not help but say: "Why did you steal this?, The martial city has done nothing to us. We could share the treasure".

Alexander expected that answer from his mother. For his mother was good at defending herself but not at attacking.

Alexander said calmly: "Tomorrow is not the same as today, Things change with time. I saw the tower collecting dust and I couldn't leave it like this. If the Martial City knew its uses it would be more powerful than the Uri Republic but those fools do not know the treasure they had. Nor do they know how to open the doors of this tower except for its use. That is not my fault and there was no reason to leave it there when I could take it with me. I'm not going to give away a treasure like that when the family needs it. If you want to give something, give something you don't need."

Anna was silent as she looked at her son in astonishment and found no way to refute, as her words were right. If I need something, how can I give it away?

If you want to give a gift it has to be something you're not ashamed to give away and this tower was very useful for your family. many say that gratitude and hatred last for three generations but after that they are forgotten.

If the Alba family helps the martial city to get stronger it could be good but only if the Alba family got stronger at the same speed as the martial city, something impossible due to many factors.

So in the end he could only sigh and agree with Alexander. Alexander chose to change the subject and guided the women through the growing chambers. Anna and Audrey were shocked to see the chambers and felt the dense spiritual Qi realizing the real value of this tower.

With this tower their strength could be increased quickly but at the same time they felt some sorrow for the Martial City, which made Alexander promise to give benefits to the Martial City as compensation for stealing the tower.

This calmed the women. Making them feel more comfortable. Anna and Audrey decided to move into the tower and took a room each. So during the night they cultivated while during the day they would do their normal chores.

In addition to the fact that Anna was already close to being able to make her way to the Elemental Realm and being in the tower could accelerate progress.

Alexander did not object to the decisions of these women and only focused on examining the tower and making a plan of it. In his previous life he knew of its existence and was even in seclusion in several of them but never examined any closely or learned to make one.

The cultivation towers were very valuable and the manpower needed to make a huge era in addition to time and materials so Alexander knew the creation of a cultivation tower could take decades to centuries depending on the complexity of the project.

Because of this only the great powers could afford one. For a great power a century was not much, so they could afford to wait but for a small power a hundred years was a great period of time.

Alexander knew that in the holy lands the gems of convergence were more common reason why there were powers that made to order the towers and adapt them to the needs of the continental powers.

This was a way of making money but it was also more expensive than doing it yourself with your resources. Besides, one had to be careful because the powers that could afford to give that service were not small.

For them to give that tower of cultivation was like giving bread to a beggar for an iron coin. Alexander understood that it was not the masters who did things like this, but rather the disciples as a form of training and experience.

And why did they do it?

The answer was simple. Money.

A tower with a first grade convergence gem could be worth 7 million seventh grade stones but a tower with a second grade convergence gem could be worth 10 to 15 million fourth grade stones. Plus the value of labor.

The craftsmen always needed raw materials in order to raise their level, it was the same as the alchemists needing medicinal herbs to practice, but all this was expensive. So it was normal for them to make cultivation towers, Aircrafts, ships among other works to earn money in order to maintain their practice.

It was similar to blacksmiths who sold weapons or alchemists who sold pills and potions. Of course there were artisans who worked alone but never in monumental jobs and if they did it was because they were experts who made top quality products.

So did the artisans. There were only projects in which one artisan was not enough. It was similar to the mass production of pills by alchemists. A human being has only two hands and limited capacities.

Alexander for the repair of the tower Arrays would not need help but it would take him several years to repair them alone. These towers were complex pieces that had countless arrays of all sizes in it adding that it did not have a plan of it. The repair would take time.

Alexander tried to see where the inscription was which said in which workshop the tower was made but only after a few hours he saw the inscription at the base of the tower hidden under a table. The table only said: "Blueprint Workshop" Next to it was a small serial number: "120-B" and at the end it said addressee: "Saks Family, mortal Continent Auphera".

Alexander didn't know who the hell the Saks family was, but he did know that it had to be at least one power in a mortal country of the first grade, otherwise he couldn't afford the purchase of such a tower.

So Alexander could only sigh and think about how to get the plans of that workshop.

The only good thing was that the tower for now could meet the needs of the family. So now he would only concentrate on verifying the plans of the tower plus he had other more immediate matters.

The Brook family.

Today's issues were very rare and he couldn't understand them well, so he decided to call Sophia to talk to her. She wanted to know how the members of the Brook family behaved.

After ordering some servants to call Sophia, Alexander decided to go to a medicinal garden to see the peach tree. More than a year had already passed so the Tree must have given several lots of Ocuri pink peaches.

So he saw a tree with pink petados about 8 meters high and its branches could see some small peaches which had just been born. The tree seemed to be more than a thousand years old and was full of vitality. Only so Alexander nodded and greeted the caretakers of the garden.

He looked for a piece of land about 400 meters from the peach tree and decided to remove the branch to place it in the ground.

The spiritual trees needed many things and one of them was earth. In the gardening it was known that a spiritual tree needed at least 400 meters of another spiritual tree. Otherwise the two trees would fight for the nutrients of the soil causing the death of the soil and the trees.

Alexander knew this and therefore chose a perfect area.
