After completing the task, Huo Ling left the fire element plane.

After leaving the plane beacon, Huo Ling began to return to the spirit world. After several days of continuous transmission, he finally returned to Plain City again.

He came to the built magic pool, which has not yet officially started working.

Around the magic pool, there are dense rune arrays, which protect and control the magic in the magic pool.

At the same time, there are also many runes that call magic. They may connect to the protective runes outside the magic tower, or they may connect to some amplification rune arrays.

After Huo Ling was ready, he officially started to activate the magic pool, and the energy storage core in the fire element plane in the distant void began to work.

Slowly, the bottom of the magic pool began to appear fiery red flame magic, and these magics appeared from the bottom of the magic pool like a trickle.

Soon, these gaseous magic powers filled up the entire magic pool. Under the control of the rune array, these gaseous magic powers began to be compressed.

At the bottom of the magic pool, a layer of liquid flame magic power like flowing magma began to appear.

Huo Ling looked at this scene with satisfaction. The appearance of these magic powers meant that the energy storage core and the magic pool were working normally.

It also meant that the work of his mage tower on this floor was completed halfway at once, and the rest was to build the outer wall and some auxiliary functions.

The mage tower built by Huo Ling was octagonal in shape, with a diameter of 280 meters. It was not particularly large from the outside.

However, during the construction process, dimensional stones would be added to the mage tower, which would expand the internal space of the entire mage tower many times, and this expansion could continue later.

…

When Huo Ling's mage tower began to be built, many people did not react.

But after the construction of the open space reserved for the Mage Tower in the city began and the outer defense force was strengthened, everyone knew what Huo Ling was going to do.

Gu Zhengyuan, who was far away in Blue Star, received the news at the first time. Even though he had been in a high position for many years and his mind had long been calm, he was still distracted at this time.

His favorite tea set was crushed because of his momentary distraction after hearing the news. He asked in disbelief:

"Is the information reliable? Huo Ling...really started building the Mage Tower?"

"The information is reliable, because this lord didn't hide it at all, and started construction directly in Plain City!" said a spellcaster in a mage robe. He was an aide to Gu Zhengyuan.

"This is really... How can he start building a Mage Tower? How can he have money?" Gu Zhengyuan murmured.

"I don't know. According to our prediction, even after last year's auction, it will take at least several years for Lord Huo Ling to save enough resources to build the Mage Tower. If he has other expenses, then this time will be further delayed." The staff held a magic scroll in his hand, which recorded their estimated income from Huo Ling's current industry.

"Do you think he is pretending? Let's build an empty shell first. After all, the materials needed for the outer layer of the Mage Tower are expensive, but he can build it." Gu Zhengyuan asked with a frown.

"No... Sir, the latest intelligence from the intelligence personnel shows that a pillar of light shot up to the sky at the construction site of the Mage Tower a few days ago. We have concluded from the intelligence personnel's report and previous data that this is a sign that the magic pool has started to work!"

The staff's voice became bitter, and he said with some longing:

"The data shows that if this kind of performance occurs during the construction of the Mage Tower, after the construction of the magic pool is completed, the construction of this level of the Mage Tower may have been completed by more than half!"

The staff is also a spellcaster. No spellcaster would not want to have a Mage Tower of their own. This is the ultimate goal of all spellcasters.

The staff thought for a moment and continued, "Sir, but according to the information we have leaked from Lord Huo Ling, judging from the various materials purchased during this period, even if he starts to build the Mage Tower, he will probably only be able to build the first floor, which should not have much impact on our plan."

After hearing this, Gu Zhengyuan frowned and shook his head and said, "You are wrong... The impact is too great! Alas!"

"Even if it is only one floor of the Mage Tower, it is still a Mage Tower. The increase for a legendary mage is too great!"

"How did he get enough money? This completely disrupted our plan!" Gu Zhengyuan stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows.

In the plans of the Gu family and several other legendary families in Tiannan Province, they are ready to cooperate deeply with Huo Ling again.

A key point is that when Huo Ling starts to build the Mage Tower,When they were building the Mage Tower, they funded Huo Ling.

In the original plan, Huo Ling should have taken the initiative to find them and seek investment for the construction of the Mage Tower.

At this time, the Gu family and other families could negotiate conditions with Huo Ling, such as the allocation of the territory to be developed next.

Even loaning money to Huo Ling in exchange for a portion of the shares of Pingyuan City.

This was done in the previous Xinnan City by some powerful noble families, but the Gu family and the Nanhe Boren family did not catch up with this opportunity at that time.

Now Huo Ling has finally been waiting, but Huo Ling did not give him a chance. Why did he start by himself?

"Why don't we ask through Afu to see if Huo Ling still needs funds to build the Mage Tower?" Gu Zhengyuan's son asked in a low voice.

"Stupid! If we come to them ourselves, can we negotiate the same conditions as Huo Ling does when he comes to us?!" Gu Zhengyuan scolded his son.

In order to prepare to invest in Huo Ling, the Gu family was even ready to use their resources, but now Huo Ling has started to build the Mage Tower by himself.

This made their preparations completely useless.

"Send someone to invite the heads of the Zhao and Ren families!" Gu Zhengyuan frowned and ordered.

"Yes! Head!" The staff lowered his head, turned around and prepared to arrange the staff.

When the staff was about to walk out of the door, Gu Zhengyuan suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Wait..."

The staff immediately stopped and turned to look at Gu Zhengyuan.

Gu Zhengyuan pondered for a moment, then he sighed and said, "Forget it, there is no need to invite them."

"Head... what do you mean?" the staff asked.

"Now that Huo Ling has turned the table over and started his own business, I'm afraid he is also going to defeat us. I bet that the resources he has now can only build this level of the mage tower.

But the first level... is also a mage tower. He has the confidence to get rid of us, but we don't have the capital to get rid of him."

Gu Zhengyuan closed his eyes and murmured.

(Alas, it's uncomfortable, brothers.)
