Chapter 2495: Chapter 2495: Supply Falling Short of Demand

Under normal circumstances, the demand for the Cultivation Tower among cultivators is quite significant, second only to their demand for elixirs.

Currently, the number of active cultivators within Hongmeng City exceeds seven million. A large portion of these cultivators utilize the Cultivation Tower to aid in advancing their realm. As Hongmeng City previously lacked a Cultivation Tower, they would travel to nearby cities to use one.

The vast majority of cultivators below the Immortal Venerable Realm typically find the Human-level Cultivation Tower sufficient. Take Red Leaf Team Leader, for instance; as a cultivator at the Immortal Charm Peak Level, he only uses a second-level cultivation room within the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower, which is of Human-level. The first, second, and third level cultivation rooms are all Human-level cultivation rooms.

In fact, even some ordinary cultivators of the Immortal Venerate Realm often use the Human-level Cultivation Tower.

According to market prices, the daily usage fee for a third-level cultivation room in the Human-level Cultivation Tower is approximately 200,000 Black Crystal Stones. Ten days amount to 2,000,000 Black Crystal Stones, and one hundred days to 20,000,000 Black Crystal Stones. Over the course of a year, it would cost over 70,000,000 Black Crystal Stones. Clearly, even the cost of using a Human-level Cultivation Tower is not low.

As for the Earth-level Cultivation Tower, the cost is even more astounding. Even the lowest fourth-level cultivation room costs a million Black Crystal Stones per day, which would reach a hundred million Black Crystal Stones in a hundred days.

For cultivators, a year passes in the blink of an eye. Consider how many cultivators can afford to use a Cultivation Tower for prolonged periods?

Fortunately, the majority of cultivators do not need to use the Cultivation Tower continuously. For example, adventurers typically use the tower for a short period after returning from a hunting trip.

In the hall of the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower, the number of cultivators and adventurers continues to grow.

The cultivators who entered later were surprised to learn that Red Leaf Team Leader was using a cultivation room.

More and more cultivators murmured quietly, waiting for Zi’an’s outcome.

However, Red Leaf Team Leader did not emerge from the cultivation room. On the contrary, many members of the Red Leaf Adventure Group paid the usage fee for the cultivation rooms and entered them one after another.

The other cultivators gradually caught on.

"Effective!"

"The cultivation rooms in the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower must be effective. Otherwise, why else would the members of the Red Leaf Adventure Group use them?"

"I understand, Red Leaf Team Leader must have found the effect satisfactory and informed his subordinates to use the rooms as well."

"Exactly, that’s it!"

"I must use one. It’s been decades since I last used a Cultivation Tower. Now that the Hongmeng City Cultivation Tower is available, it’s quite convenient." Someone approached the receptionist.

"I also want to use the Cultivation Tower!"

The number of receptionists in the hall reached ten, but they were still overwhelmed by the sudden surge in applications for cultivation rooms. They had to instruct cultivators to line up and wait their turn.

In a particular location within the Cultivation Tower, Luo Hao observed the hall on the first layer through the Law screen. A tension he had held eased, and he smiled.

"The Red Leaf Adventure Group is quite renowned in Hongmeng City. Their involvement has greatly facilitated matters," Luo Hao whispered softly.

News about the effectiveness of the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower spread quickly within Hongmeng City.

In just a few days, the first-level cultivation rooms were fully booked. The Hongmeng Cultivation Tower had a total of 9,999 first-level cultivation rooms, but within a few days, all these rooms were applied for. This means that these first-level cultivation rooms alone could bring in an income of around 90 million Black Crystal Stones to Jing Yan daily.

The usage fee for the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower now has a ten percent discount.

Though the discount might not seem significant, it greatly appeals to most cultivators. Originally priced at ten thousand Black Crystal Stones, it now only costs nine thousand Black Crystal Stones, which is a substantial benefit. Using a first-level cultivation room for one day saves a thousand Black Crystal Stones. Moreover, the effects of the cultivation rooms in the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower are far superior to those they’ve used before.

As its reputation spread, more cultivators began using the second-level cultivation rooms. Eventually, even some started using the third-level cultivation rooms. Those who can afford third-level cultivation rooms are often individuals of status, such as merchants from the city. Merchants and leaders of small forces are all cultivators themselves; their primary reason for earning Black Crystal Stones is to fund their cultivation. Without cultivation, they would not be as motivated to earn Black Crystal Stones.

In the City Lord Mansion, Jing Yan conversed with Luo Hao.

Today marks the tenth day since the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower opened. The Grand Steward of the City Lord Mansion, Bai Han, was also present.

"City Lord, the first-level cultivation rooms are now in short supply. Some cultivators have already paid in advance, waiting for rooms to become available," Luo Hao reported to Jing Yan. "Some cultivators may choose to go to other cities rather than wait."

"That is of no concern. For now, let it be. When Hongmeng City expands further, we’ll build a second and third Cultivation Tower," Jing Yan nodded in agreement.

These past few days, Jing Yan has been in great spirits. The opening of the Cultivation Tower provides the City Lord Mansion with substantial profits daily. Despite the operational costs of the tower, including the consumption of Black Crystal Stones, the profit margin remains above fifty percent.

"The Human-level cultivation rooms are bustling; how about the Earth-level ones?" Jing Yan asked.

"City Lord, the Earth-level cultivation rooms... so far, only two cultivators have used them, and both were fourth-level rooms. Our city lacks cultivators of the Immortal Venerate Realm, so those below this realm are reluctant to use Earth-level rooms," Luo Hao reported.

"Let’s take it slow! Once they experience the effects of the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower’s Earth-level rooms, people will naturally want to use them," Jing Yan smiled.

"City Lord, the opening of the Cultivation Tower significantly boosts our city’s reputation," Bai Han added.

"Has the number of cultivators entering Hongmeng City increased?" Jing Yan turned to Bai Han.

"It’s not just an increase; it’s soared! In just ten days, our statistics show that Hongmeng City’s active population has surpassed eight million, nearly a million more than before," Bai Han said with excitement.
