Take An Oath

The Hartmann family had undoubtedly spent a fortune building this fairy city. Just constructing a third-level spirit vein alone would have cost more than 10 million spirit stones.

On top of that, they had developed over a dozen second-level spirit veins around Redwood Island, providing space for independent cultivators and small families to cultivate spiritual fields and medicinal herbs.

That was another massive expense.

And yet, the biggest cost of all was the city itself.

Zhang Zhixian could hardly imagine how much the Hartmann family had poured into its construction. Even now, the city was far from complete.

This only reinforced his suspicion—perhaps the Hartmann family had exhausted their entire fortune and were now resorting to this crude method of extracting wealth from the major families in Sea View Fairy City.
