Chapter 122 117: News of the Teleportation Array (Part 1)

Faced with a transaction involving twelve thousand spirit stones, Yang Bolin's expression showed a hint of seriousness.Although the Purple Treasure Pavilion is involved in numerous commercial sectors, apart from the acquisition and wholesale trade of monster materials, material acquisitions involving tens of thousands of spirit stones are seldom seen on ordinary days.

Especially in recent years, it has been uneasy for various families in the Damo Realm; during years with poor harvests, such a business deal might not appear even once a year.

Yet, despite the lengthy list of materials, Yang Bolin was not foolish enough to ask Ma Ning about the purpose of those items.

Such questioning would likely only result in evasive answers, and might even inadvertently offend such a major customer.

Impulsively prying into a customer's background is a major taboo in business.

After all, no one would like a store owner who persistently interrogates you.

Regardless, the opportunity for cooperation between both parties should be frequent in the future, especially since Linyuan City is only over two hundred li from Chixian City, offering plenty of chances to inquire about the details of Taoshu Commerce Association.

Then Yang Bolin carefully reviewed the list again, pondered for a moment, and spoke:

"Shopkeeper Ma, the materials on the list are all stocked in the Purple Treasure Pavilion's warehouse, and the stock volume more than meets your needs.

However, the transfer of certain valuable materials may require some time—for example, the three zhang long and wide spatial bag—considering these items involve the Yang Mansion's internal treasury, and some may even require consultations with the ancestral elders..."

In the list submitted by the rabbits, the materials are broadly classified into two types:

Abundant basic materials and scarce valuable items.

The former included Cyan Cloud Pills needed for the Qi Cultivation Stage and various spirit medicines and talisman materials, among others, in significant quantity yet a mere fraction in comparison to the Purple Treasure Pavilion's stock.

However, the remaining valuable items are different, with some involving more complex procedures.

For instance, those three spatial bags.

The Damo Realm's market usually sees smaller spatial bags with volumes around twenty cubic meters, larger ones around thirty cubic meters, priced approximately at twelve thousand spirit stones, while cheaper ones could be acquired for ten thousand spirit stones.

The target customers for such spatial bags largely consist of families, often used for transporting pills, spirit materials, or even spirit stones.

In the individual cultivator domain, there actually exists another type of ultra-small spatial bag around one cubic meter, colloquially termed a "storage pouch."

The storage pouch typically costs around two thousand spirit stones, standard equipment for Foundation Establishment loose cultivators or Core Formation Realm cultivators without family burdens.

Among the four spatial bag orders placed by the rabbits, three of them purchased this type of small storage pouch.

Ultimately, from a research perspective.

Resolving such storage pouches is the least costly—since they all use the same spatial technology, and if unknown spatial technology consists of several tiers, the difficulty of storage pouch might actually be even lower. Google seaʀᴄh ????????????????????✶????????????????✶????????????

But apart from these three small storage bags, the medium-sized storage bag purchased by the rabbits posed some challenges.

The medium-sized storage bag has a volume around three hundred cubic meters, noticeably smaller than the spatial bag left by Wei Siming.

This storage bag is considered somewhat high-end at the Purple Treasure Pavilion, generally kept in the main mansion's internal treasury.

Even for someone like Yang Bolin, a Chief Shopkeeper, the procedure to mobilize it is somewhat cumbersome.

Although he is the younger brother of the current Yang Family's Patriarch, a family has several ancestral elders, necessitating adherence to certain procedures.

The primary reason the rabbits chose this three hundred cubic meter spatial bag was simply because they were running out of spare spirit stones.

This three hundred cubic meter spatial bag is priced at sixty thousand spirit stones, and even with a ten percent discount from Yang Bolin, it still costs a full fifty-four thousand spirit stones.

After the rabbits sold the necessary materials and the spatial bags needed for experiments, their remaining spirit stones only sufficed to purchase this spatial bag.

Although some spirit stones could be allocated from Wei Qiangsheng's side, the Wei Mansion itself has various materials to procure this time.

The couple thousand spirit stones transferred over wouldn't be enough to buy a spatial bag with a qualitative difference in volume—the specifications of three hundred cubic meters and three hundred and five cubic meters make little difference to the rabbits, so there's no need to expend on this favor.

According to the rabbits' plan.

The priority for this spatial bag will be inter-world material transfer.

For example.

A cubic meter of iron weighs about seven tons, while high-nickel stainless steel can weigh even more.

The theoretical capacity of a three hundred cubic meter spatial bag filled entirely with iron can reach over two thousand tons.

Even swapping for other lighter materials, factoring in material handling time, adding an additional three to four thousand tons daily to the portal's transport capacity is still plausible.

This would undoubtedly greatly enhance the camp's development.

Of course.

This is merely the rabbits' ideal plan, as whether the spatial bag can be used locally is still unknown, given there is currently no spiritual energy domestically.

If all goes well, Lin Ziming will be entrusted with the daily task of traveling between the two realms—a side note, the rabbits also purchased various pills to replenish vitality and energy.

If the spatial bag proves ineffective at home, it will be utilized for transporting various resources.

Like spirit stone mines or coal mines discovered by Lei Wenjun's team, even water could be transported under special circumstances.

In summary.

This time, apart from having four to five thousand spirit stones on hand as backup, the remainder of the funds were all spent on acquiring a large pile of materials.

After confirming with Yang Bolin that transferring materials from the Yang Mansion's internal treasury would require four days, or forty-eight hours.

Ma Ning brought up another important issue for the rabbits:

"Shopkeeper Yang, I've heard there's a teleportation array in Ziqiong City?"

The scope of Ma Ning's question was somewhat broad, causing Yang Bolin to pause briefly before nodding and responding:

"That's right, there's a teleportation array located in the city center."

As soon as he finished speaking.

A sudden exclamation from Zeng Gu Cheng erupted in Ma Ning's earbud, with a decibel level comparable to Yu Xiao C slaughtering all around.

Judging from the accompanying slight commotion, this esteemed Demon Research Institute scholar should have been overwhelmed with excitement yet again.

Calmly lowering the volume, Ma Ning asked Yang Bolin:

"Shopkeeper Yang, do you know where the teleportation array leads to? And how is the fee charged?"

Ma Ning's query did not strike Yang Bolin as out of the ordinary, since numerous people had asked him similar questions long before Ma Ning.

Given Ziqiong City is the only place with a teleportation array within two thousand li, even legitimate descendants of cities with populations of twenty to thirty thousand show interest in this feature.

Considering the teleportation array's significance in Ziqiong City, although it is important, the information is not confidential, and many are aware of it.

So Yang Bolin readily answered:

"Shopkeeper Ma, the teleportation array in Ziqiong City connects to three major cities: Anhua City, over two thousand three hundred li away, Frost Snow City, over two thousand seven hundred li away, and Qinghong City, more than three thousand li away.

Anhua City, in particular, is where Tingyun Pavilion's headquarters is located.

As for the usage price of the teleportation array... it universally requires six hundred spirit stones for a one-way transfer per person.

If your commerce association wishes to experience long-distance teleportation, I can offer a discounted price of five hundred spirit stones for a single transfer.

Under normal circumstances, our city's teleportation array is activated every ten Damo Days.

However, due to an increase in business association traffic recently, the activation frequency will be higher, activating again in thirty-six hours.

This will be the last activation during this period though, since the caravans have procured all necessary materials.

Once the thirty-six-hour teleportation stops, it will reactivate ten Damo Days later."

After listening to Yang Bolin's introduction.

A few numbers quickly surfaced in Ma Ning's mind.

Six hundred spirit stones for a one-way trip, amounting to one thousand two hundred spirit stones for a round trip.

Equivalent to over seven million Huaxia currency.

Thereafter, he cast a subtle glance at Lin Ziming.

The teleportation array issue had far exceeded the decision-making power of the trade group, and since the teleportation gate was confirmed to have no high entry barrier, the decision should proceed to the command center.

Consequently, Ma Ning briefly exchanged pleasantries with Yang Bolin, setting a delivery time for four days later.

Meanwhile, Yang Bolin also stated that if Ma Ning and his companions wished to experience the teleportation array, they could visit him at the Purple Treasure Pavilion's spot in the market in two and a half days.

Having conveyed all this, the parties parted ways.

With Yang Bolin leaving the shop, Ma Ning and the others went to the backyard to contact the command center.

"We must go!"

Once the video call connected, Zeng Gu Cheng sprang up from his seat enthusiastically, saying:

"Long-distance space teleportation, we must grasp such technology, perhaps it could even enhance research on the portal!

Therefore, I believe, no matter what, we must send one or several people to test the teleportation array's effect, it's imperative to go!"
