After passing through Heaven's Gate, the rest of the waterway was easy to traverse as it flowed downstream.
They sailed along the canal for over a hundred miles before entering Yue Ma River.
The upper part of Yue Ma River was only thirty feet wide.
After the canal flowed in, the width of the river expanded to almost thirty feet.
The lower part of Yue Ma River was also widened by people.
The riverbank was very neat, and there was no sign of the river water flowing out of control.
Following Yue Ma River westward for over two thousand miles, they arrived at Heyun Lake.
Heyun Lake was a circular lake with a small area of less than two hundred miles in diameter.
This was only after the canal was dug and the Muddy Water Stream poured in.
Wang Daoyuan had stayed in Luliu Province for nearly twenty years and was used to the Hundred Rivers Lake. Now, Heyun Lake was too small.
Near the shore, there was grass that had just been submerged underwater.
It seemed that after the canal was dug, the lake expanded a lot.
The center of the lake was very deep, at least thirty to forty feet deep.
The place where Crane Cloud Lake was located was a natural depression.
The east, west, and north sides were very high and the rivers all converged towards Heyun Lake.
Only the southeast corner of the lake was low. The lake water flowed out from there and formed a stream called Heyun Stream.
Heyun Stream was fifty to sixty feet wide and only one foot deep. The water flow was very gentle.
This amount of water was incomparable to the amount of water from Heaven's Gate.
In the future, the water level of Heyun Lake would continue to rise and the flow of Heyun Stream would also increase until the water level of Heyun Lake stabilized.
At this moment, Wang Daoyuan finally understood that the few clans of He Yang County had big plans.
Digging through Tie Ping Mountain was not only to connect the two counties to each other, but also to expand southward.
Half of the Muddy Water Stream's water flow would be channeled into Heyun Lake and the flow of Heyun Stream would skyrocket. Even in normal years, it could flow southward into Wan Chuan River and navigation would not be a problem.
In this way, after the clans in the northern part of He Yang County became stronger, they could expand their business to the southern part of He Yang County through the waterway.
Digging through Tie Ping Mountain would solve the problem of lacking resources in the northern part of He Yang County and provide a bright future for the clans in the northern part of He Yang County. It would also solve the problem of Qingli County's resource backlog, killing three birds with one stone.
The old ancestors of these clans were really far-sighted!
The Yue Ma River converged from the east of the Crane Cloud Lake, and the Crane Cloud Creek was at the southeast corner of the Crane Cloud Lake.
The Crane Cloud Lake Market was built on the shore between the mouth of the Yue Ma River and the Crane Cloud River.
It was convenient to receive the resources from Qingli County, and it was also convenient to do business with the southern powers of Heyang County.
However, the market square was not completed yet. Only a few dozen shops near the mouth of the Yue Ma River had been completed.
The layout of the market square was very particular. The whole market square was like a rake, and the teeth of the rake extended into the lake.
On each rake, there was a street, and on both sides of the street were shops. Behind each shop was a small pier, making the best use of water transportation.
On the shore of the lake there were only a few shops and a road connecting the various rakes.
These rakes were made of rocks, and they were more than two zhang above the water surface. They had fully taken into account that the water level of Heyun Lake would continue to rise in the future.
As soon as the Wang family's spirit ship arrived, more than ten people immediately came forward to greet them. The five or six people in front were all Foundation Establishment cultivators. They should be the patriarchs of the various families. The leader was Li Xinghe.
The spirit ship docked at the first rake closest to the mouth of the Yue Ma River, and the three people of the Wang family disembarked.
Li Xinghe was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. As the only Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Wang family, Wang Daoyuan naturally had to walk at the front.
Li Xinghe cupped his hands, "Little Friend Wang, how have you been? The few of us have been waiting here for the stars and the moon, and finally, our Little Friend has arrived. "
Wang Daoyuan returned the greeting, "The mountains are high, and the water is far away. I'm not familiar with the waterways, so I walked slowly. I've made all of you wait.
There are still important matters in the family, so the patriarch can't come personally. I hope that all of you will forgive him. "
Li Xinghe waved his hand, "The Wang family has many businesses and many affairs. How can the patriarch leave so easily? We are already very satisfied that our Little Friend can come.
Please come in, we can slowly discuss business matters. "
Under Li Xinghe's lead, Wang Daoyuan and the other two people came to a hall that was very similar to the Wang family's meeting hall.
Everyone took their seats. Li Xinghe asked, "What kind of spiritual items did the Wang family bring this time?"
Wang Daoyuan answered, "The Wang family is weak, our territory is small, and we have few businesses.
This time, we only brought ten types of first-grade ores, two types of second-grade ores, twelve types of first-grade spiritual wood, and one type of second-grade spiritual wood.
However, we didn't bring much of each type of resource. The patriarch wants us to first bring samples and see the price. "
Hearing that there were more than twenty types of resources, and three types of second-grade ones, the few Foundation Establishment cultivators became excited.
Li Xinghe asked, "What are the types? Can Little Friend Wang tell us?"
Wang Daoyuan introduced Wang Zhihe and Wang Daochang to everyone, saying, "This is my tenth granduncle, the Wang family's elder in charge of trade.
This is my second brother, the Wang family's elder in charge of mines and forests.
If you want to ask about the types of ores and spiritual wood, you can ask my second brother.
If you want to ask about business, my tenth granduncle can answer. "
Wang Daochang gave a detailed introduction of the ores and spiritual wood that he brought.
Li Xinghe asked, "How much of this Green Jade Bamboo can the Wang family provide?
Although this item isn't considered rare in Qingli County, it is a rare item in the northern part of Heyang County. "
The second-grade spiritual wood that the Wang family brought was precisely the Green Jade Bamboo. Although this item wasn't classified as a tree, it was usually included in the spiritual wood category during business transactions.
Wang Daochang answered, "The Wang family hasn't been cultivating this Green Jade Bamboo for long. Every year, we only produce four or five stalks and sell them to the Yang family. Every year, we can sell at most two stalks to Heyun Lake Market."
The Green Jade Bamboo needed to grow for twenty years before it could be used to refine magic tools.
A complete stalk of Green Jade Bamboo could at most be used to refine low-grade second-grade magic longswords.
Taking into account the success rate, normal tool refiners could only produce two or three swords at a price of around two thousand spirit stones each.
At Qingli Market, the price of a stalk of Green Jade Bamboo was usually around a thousand spirit stones.
Wang Daoyuan ordered the boatmen to carry a stalk of Green Jade Bamboo to the door.
Several Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately used their spiritual sense to sweep it over. Soon after, they used their spiritual sense to communicate with each other.
Afterwards, Li Xinghe made a bid, "How about two thousand spirit stones for a stalk of this Green Jade Bamboo?"
Of course, this was only a test price. The three Wang family members only smiled and didn't say anything.
Li Xinghe sighed and said, "At most three thousand. Although there aren't any cultivators from other counties that come to Heyang County to sell resources, there are still cultivators that sell magic tools.
A low-grade second-grade magic tool is only around three thousand spirit stones.
If the price of the Green Jade Bamboo is any higher, we tool refiners won't be able to make any profit. "
The three Wang family members used their spiritual sense to communicate and nodded in agreement.
