“Chonggang Town here has quite a few granaries.
If you’d like to buy, you can place an order now; the transportation logistics will take care of themselves.”
“How much do you need?”
An Jing estimated for a while.
The current population of Linjiang City was around forty to fifty thousand people, less than a tenth of its peak, but it was still considered a large town.
The Linlang Comrce Chamber’s granaries were relatively well-preserved, with at least several thousand tons available, enough to supply the city’s residents for several months.
However, these grains needed to be counted, and he worried that leftover Martial Artists from the Linlang Comrce Chamber might tamper with them.
He needed a batch of fresh grains for ergency use.
Thinking for a mont, An Jing pondered, “Hmm…
Enough for three thousand people for a hundred days?
For ergencies, not for full als.”
“That’s quite a lot,” Huo Qing said, sowhat surprised.
In his view, that number likely represented the mbership of An Jing’s sect: “Assuming two pounds of ergency grain per person per day, that amounts to six hundred thousand pounds.”
“Given the current price of grains…
It would cost around ten thousand Good Deeds.”
“That’s quite cheap,” An Jing raised his eyebrows, the purchasing power of one Good Deed in his past life being roughly equivalent to one hundred to two hundred yuan.
In the Tianyuan Realm, grains were actually a fairly scarce commodity, due to the limited arable land available.
According to his estimate, six hundred thousand pounds, or three hundred tons of grains, should cost about twenty thousand Good Deeds; he hadn’t expected it to be only half that amount.
“Xuanye City here isn’t short on grains.
Just look at Danlin Town; we have many Martial Artists of the Wood Elent here.
Iron Hand, I heard, graduated from an agricultural college,” Huo Qing said, already starting to search for a nearby granary for An Jing.
“Do you really need six hundred thousand pounds?
We don’t have enough Good Deeds on hand; we might need to use so Frost Jade instead.”
“No need,” An Jing shook his head.
He wasn’t planning on really spending over ten thousand Good Deeds on grains.
The ergency supplies for one day would be enough; any more, and he couldn’t transport it either: “Let’s start with two thousand Good Deeds’ worth.
If my money isn’t enough, lend so, and I’ll return it next ti.”
“What’s this about borrowing or not borrowing,” Huo Qing laughed, then placed the order for An Jing: “Any other needs?”
“No, that’s it.”
At that mont, An Jing truly appreciated having a friend to help—it was much easier than if he had to do everything himself.
He wasn’t a professional, nor did he have a chip; it would be impossible for him to handle everything as efficiently as Huo Qing did.
“Thanks a lot, brother.”
“It’s all minor stuff.”
Huo Qing grinned proudly, showing An Jing the Spirit Gathering Array on the side: “That Great Abyss Scripture you gave , I’ve already learned the most elentary part…
The efficiency of this Spirit Gathering Array now is at the sixth turn, already higher than the common ones on the market.”
“Next ti you break through in your Cultivation, perhaps I will be able to break into the Nine Turns Realm.
Then, the efficiency of the Spirit Gathering Array, even a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator could barely manage it!”
“That’s amazing, brother.
Your talent in the Formation Path is truly remarkable.”
An Jing was feeling extrely emotional at that mont.
If you had to say that Huo Qing’s talent was very high, that was absolutely impossible.
Let alone soone like An Jing, a monster, or Ruohui with Emperor’s Blood, not to ntion Nian Quan and Bai Qinghan with Heavenly Spiritual Root and Goddess Level Strange Mandate.
Even compared to Cang Linzu and Gu Yeqi, Huo Qing was likely sowhat inferior, at most a bit above average.
Yet, even with such modest talent, with enough experience and effort, Huo Qing could grow very quickly.
Does the establishnt of a dynasty imply that all the scholars and warriors are from the sa hotown, blessed with incredible destiny and countless extraordinary talents?
It’s just a matter of opportunity.
Just as Nian Quan said, the high-level cultivators from big companies or great families didn’t have his talent, but they received ample resources and were still able to establish their Foundation and explore the Purple Mansion and even the Golden Core Realm.
Huo Qing’s talent, not to say it was high, but as long as he had sufficient resources, at least establishing his Foundation was no issue, and reaching Purple Mansion was hopeful!
Their little group was truly helping each other out.
He could help Ruohui advance, and Ruohui could offer him many books and inspirations, and Huo Qing was no different…
This was the power of partnership!
An Jing then checked Huo Qing’s Cultivation in Martial Arts, finding that progress was slow.
The Imperial Heaven skills were still not fully developed, and the Houtu Skills were rely at the beginner level.
But this pace was normal, especially since Huo Qing had a solid foundation, and though the progress in Houtu Skills was slow, An Jing didn’t see any bottlenecks.
After all, Huo Qing was also one of the few people in both worlds, like An Jing, who practiced both Immortal Martial Arts and did not possess a Fate Pattern; cultivating Spiritual Root through Martial Arts was indeed a path.
Soon, the neighboring grain company delivered a palm-sized Great Void Magical Instrunt to the warehouse, containing sixty tons of grain—such simple transportation made it no wonder that the Tianyuan Realm, despite being a revived wasteland, still had such developed freight logistics.
This reminded Huo Qing of the fact that An Jing’s Great Void Magical Instrunt was not that large.
Thoughtfully, he had added a rental service for large Great Void Magical Instrunts for An Jing, which could also be used to load puppets, charging one hundred Good Deeds per use.
However, if it was damaged or returned late, a compensation of five thousand Good Deeds was required.
“I really hadn’t thought of that.”
When An Jing saw the Great Void Magical Instrunt, he realized his perspective was too high and had forgotten these most practical little matters.
Huo Qing smiled and said, “An Jing, you are flawless in making big decisions and never make mistakes, but you are a bit negligent in small matters…
It’s also my job to cover for you.”
With that settled, An Jing prepared to leave with the Great Void Magical Instrunt for transporting grain.
To ensure smooth funding, he also released a bag of Frost Jade, which made Huo Qing think of sothing, “An Jing, do you have any Yin-type spiritual materials?
He felt a bit embarrassed, “I’ve also hit a bottleneck in my research on the Great Abyss Scripture, and the materials needed for the next advanced array are hard to collect in town…
These are your sect’s scriptures, I thought you might have so reserves?”
“Alright…
Eh, I actually do!” An Jing was initially going to agree and then go check the warehouse of the Linlang Comrce Chamber in the Embracing the Void, and he definitely wouldn’t be stingy—if he had it.
But as he searched through the Great Void Magical Instrunt, An Jing found the Yin Jade he had obtained from the subordinates of the Western Patrol Envoy, as well as the Spiritual Gold awarded by the Da Chen governnt.
These highly valuable spiritual materials were of little use to An Jing, so he simply brought them all out.
Under Huo Qing’s shocked gaze, his pupils quaking, An Jing laid them all on the ground, “Is this enough?
Is this enough?
If not, I’ll go back and check again later…”
“That’s enough, enough, enough!
Stop bringing more!”
Huo Qing hastily raised his hand, resembling a kitten that wanted so cat food but was frightened by the overwhelming amount, nearly retreating in shock from the spiritual materials worth nearly ten thousand Good Deeds: “Ten tis, dozens of tis more!
I just needed a bit of these materials as a prir!”
“My God, so much Yin Jade and Spiritual Gold, An Jing, you even carry it with you, if people knew…”
Huo Qing raised his hand, closed all the doors and windows of the warehouse, and then imdiately concealed everything with a Concealnt Array, learned from ‘Little Warehouse Tips,’ finally this took a sigh of relief, “This is enough for to reach Foundation Establishnt.
My god, so much…”
“Ha, it’s like I won’t be polite with you, I’ll say directly whatever I need,” An Jing said with a laugh, not bothered at all: “You shouldn’t be polite with either, just ask for whatever you need—our cooperation is beneficial for both, the stronger you are, the more help you can provide to .”
“I will.”
At this mont, Huo Qing was overjoyed.
He checked the Formation Pattern program and structure of the puppet again for An Jing, taking a deep breath, “With these materials, I can attempt higher-level arrays now…”
With both matters settled, An Jing was planning to leave Chonggang Town and find a place to return to the Embracing the Void.
But just then, from the center of Chonggang Town, the alarm sounded throughout the city.
[Warning: Detection of a large number of demon beasts approaching, nearby cultivators please enter the city or leave imdiately.
If affected by the Great Formation, Chonggang Town’s governnt holds no responsibility!]
[Warning…]
Although it was an alarm, both An Jing and Huo Qing remained calm: “Again?
How many tis has it been this month?” “The tenth ti?
Once every two days, almost getting used to it.”
Located on the edge of a safe zone, Chonggang Town attracted many demon beasts, triggering alarms every few days.
The locals had long grown accustod to it.
“Are you leaving now?” asked Huo Qing.
“Won’t you wait a bit longer?”
“No need to wait.” An Jing shook his head.
“You should be careful too, and prepare for demon beasts entering the city—plan for the worse.”
Confidently, Huo Qing responded, “I’ve already prepared an Array to conceal the aura.
I’m very cautious.”
An Jing praised, “An Array Master is indeed ticulous.”
Without further ado, the two bid farewell.
An Jing left before the city gates, found a place, and returned to the Tianyuan Realm.
After An Jing left, Huo Qing also returned to his desk to continue his ticulous research.
But this ti, the gathering demon clouds from afar were slightly different.
From the depths of the pitch-black surging clouds, a dazzling golden halo lit up, faintly revealing the silhouette of a dark golden, three-legged, winged divine bird.
