Transmigrated with a Demon-Refining Pot: Hehehe, Refine in an instant

After settling in, Ron took his family for a stroll around the Citadel.

The streets of the school town are not exactly regular in layout, but rather spread out in a staggered pattern according to the terrain of the bay.

But I must say...

The academic atmosphere here is really strong.

Various shops line both sides of the street.

You can find bookstores, laboratories, magic tutoring classes, tea parties, and more just a few steps away.

There are also countless shops selling magical materials and finished items.

Rumor has it that in this academic city, as long as you have money, you can buy all the magical materials in the world.

It truly is an excellent place for magicians to train.

The group walked very slowly.

Liulichuan was most interested in these things, and would stop for a moment every time he passed a shop.

However, no one else felt bored.

There are so many new and interesting things here.

Whether it's weapons and props or everyday items, they are several generations behind those in the kingdom.

Cecilia preferred weapon shops and tried out several swords in a knight's equipment shop.

Finally, she chose a slender sword that suited her arm length. The blade was enchanted with a pale blue sheen, and its aura conduction rate was twice that of the Kingdom.

These are all exquisite pieces from the hands of magicians, but the price...

It's ten times higher.

Everyone else also gained something.

The pink-haired girl preferred flashy clothes and props, while Elise bought several sets of constant temperature and humidity magic array plates.

I'm going to go back and pack it for everyone to use.

Shirley and her friend were also attracted by the various novel trinkets being sold on the roadside.

I squatted down in front of a stall set up by a dwarf merchant and watched for a long time as a mechanical bird that could walk on its own.

In the end, I used my own pocket money to pack them all up.

The girls had filled all the spatial equipment in their hands.

The two little ones also spent all their New Year's money.

Ron himself wasn't idle either.

He visited several materials stores and sold off many of his unused treasures that he had plundered from the pioneering lands and the Blue-Red Principality.

This batch of goods was quite large, but it was easily absorbed by the school town.

They were all replaced with hard currency such as energy stones and crystal cores.

Ron took stock of his current cash.

The equivalent value is approximately 800,000 for a first-order crystal core.

These are the great nobles who have conquered dozens of territories, plus the accumulated wealth of the Blue and Red Duchy over nearly a thousand years.

Apart from some items that Ron was reluctant to sell, and some very rare treasures.

He practically sold off everything he brought.

Ron thought that 800,000 crystal cores should be enough.

How much more expensive can the welfare benefits that Victoria mentioned be?

Could it possibly be a near-world-class treasure?

joke!!

Ron didn't believe that the major powers would bring out such a treasure.

Anyway, if Ron runs out of money in the end, he can still use his last trick.

Let's expose Margaret's secret stash of money!!

She's robbed so many times with Ron.

Even if you only rely on your own efforts, you've still managed to collect quite a few good things.

In particular, the things she collected were either special gems or high-level energy cores.

She especially hoarded almost all of the third-order crystal cores into her own little treasure trove.

Ron probably blew up her secret stash of money; somehow, something worth 300,000 yuan came out.

Moreover, they are all hard currency, ready to use right away.

Ron didn't bully Margaret either.

I can just write her an IOU!

Nine out, thirteen back!

It's no big deal!

Ron can easily make up for it by increasing taxes on the serfs when he gets back!

That being said, Ron didn't spend money extravagantly in the Citadel as a precaution.

Aside from the manor at the beginning, he resisted the temptation to encounter any of the strange things that followed.

"There are indeed many good things here."

Ron averted his gaze from a shadowy cloak, silently noting something down in his mind:

"Let's see if there's any money left after the meeting ends, then come back and sweep it up."

The sights and sounds of the Citadel were quite eye-opening for Ron and his companions.

It is estimated that it is not inferior to the capitals of the major empires.

It even surpasses others in terms of its unique features.

Another unique feature of the Citadel, which Ron and his group did not see today.

That is the unparalleled magic energy technology in the world of Terran!

The City of Knowledge is home to the most advanced magical technology in the world of Tyrion, even more comprehensive than that of the Magic Empire.

However, those alchemy labs and factories were far too large.

Furthermore, accidents frequently occur in the laboratory, so in order not to affect the meditation and cultivation of the inner city mages.

They all moved to the outer city. Only a few small private laboratories remained in the city.

As a result, a special industrial zone was formed in the outer city.

This outer city industrial zone, along with the Magic Empire's imperial military industry and the Commercial Alliance's giant assembly lines, is known as one of humanity's three major industrial zones.

Their alchemical creations accounted for half of humanity's total output.

It's fair to say that, aside from those handcrafted masterpieces, half of the alchemy items you buy outside come from these three places.

Ron and his friends spent the whole afternoon exploring, but they hadn't even seen a tenth of the city.

However, they were not in a hurry, as there were still five or six days until the Tyron Conference.

If you're not in a hurry to leave after the meeting, you can stay in the academic city for a while longer.

The group found a unique restaurant and began to enjoy their dinner.

Inside the restaurant, the waiters began serving the dishes.

Ron didn't pay much attention at first.

After the meal, the waiters began to use "magic hands".

This is a trick that magicians use to clean.

Ron was startled when he saw the plates and knives floating past him.

These waiters are all intermediate-level magic apprentices?!

Ron only started paying attention after he noticed the situation.

Once Ron paid attention, he noticed everyone in the restaurant.

Even the people cleaning had magical energy fluctuations about them.

Ron guessed that perhaps the restaurant was too upscale, which was why it was hiring magic apprentices part-time.

However, after leaving the restaurant...

Ron began to pay attention to every pedestrian on the street, only to realize how wrong he was.

It seems like there are no ordinary people in this academic city!

Everyone they encountered on the street, except the knights.

They all had magical energy fluctuations around them.

Whether they were passersby or shop assistants, everyone had cultivated their mental strength.

It was as if this were a city of magicians.

Although most of them are magic apprentices, you can occasionally run into a few formal magicians.

Ron and his group even encountered a level two mage on their way, who was in a hurry.

It was as if they were in a hurry to do some kind of experiment.

He saw Ron and his group, paused slightly, nodded to Ron, and left.

Ron went back and asked around before he understood.

This academic city is indeed a sacred place for magicians to cultivate.

But the cost of living there is just too high.

Learning new spell models costs money, renting a laboratory costs money, buying magical materials costs money...

There are just so many good things in the school town.

Although the mages are all wealthy, their wallets will soon be emptied after they arrive at the Academy City.

If I want to continue learning, I have to find a part-time job.

In the end, even the most basic industries of clothing, food, housing, and transportation were replaced by part-time jobs for magic apprentices.

This has once again raised the minimum spending requirement in the university town.

So this is how this phenomenon ended up.

The newly arrived wizards in the Citadel were like mice scrambling into a rice bin, frantically shoveling knowledge into their mouths.

Before I knew it, I had almost spent all the money I had.

Then I had to find a part-time job.

A better option is to open a magic item shop using your own abilities.

If you have decent talent, you can do part-time work in a related industry and learn something along the way.

The worst are those who lack professional skills and talent, and can only work in unskilled service industries.

They managed to hold on for two or three years, but eventually they couldn't make ends meet anymore.

He went back to his hometown and became a superior person.

In short, people come to this academic city in a constant stream, while others can't stay and leave.

Together, they have contributed to the prosperity of the university town!

(No more from midnight. I stayed up all night, need a break!)
