After leaving the Count's residence, Yi Tian had been secretly calculating the usage of the Dark Spirit Stone. If he calculated the scale of the teleportation circle and the usage of the Dark Spirit Stone, he was planning to set up a teleportation circle with the scale of a hundred people at least.
What was the use of setting up such a teleportation circle in the Count's residence? Also, he needed the same amount of Dark Spirit Stone as the main material.
It seemed like he had to investigate this matter from different angles. After thinking about it, he took out a communication jade talisman, wrote his question on it, and sent it out.
As for the shopkeeper of the Cool Breeze Branch Station, he could be considered one of his own. Of course, Yi Tian wanted to help him. In the future, he would have to go to the Spirit Realm Sect. If he didn't help him, he wouldn't be able to face his fellow disciples. Besides, the shopkeeper of the Cool Breeze Branch Station was at odds with the Count of Silver Moon Lake. If he brought a large group of people with him, it would definitely cause the Asura Tribe to oppress him. It would definitely not be a good thing for him to find out the truth.
After thinking about it, he played with the identity jade talisman in his hand and disappeared. After a while, Yi Tian once again entered the foreign race trade zone with his true appearance. However, when he walked on the street today, he found that the number of cultivators on the street had decreased by more than 70%. There were almost no people walking on the street, and at least 30% of the shops on both sides of the street had closed their doors.
It seemed that the Imperial Capital City Defense had been stricter on the management of the city recently. In this special period, they really needed to be punished severely.
When Yi Tian walked to the entrance of the Cool Breeze Branch Station, he glanced around and found that there were almost no customers inside. The workers in the shop were lazily looking for a place to take a nap.
After stepping into the palace, a worker inside came up to greet him. Yi Tian didn't waste time and directly showed the identity jade talisman of the Imperial Capital City Defense in his hand. When the workers saw this, they were all surprised. Then, they hurriedly and respectfully went to the elegant room in the back.
After waiting for a while, the shopkeeper of the Cool Breeze Branch Station hurried over. When he saw Yi Tian, he was stunned at first. Then, he blocked his workers and closed the door before entering the room. Looking at his desolate expression, it was likely that he was too tired to deal with the matter of the Count of Silver Moon Lake suing the Cool Breeze Branch Station.
After summoning a soundproof barrier, Shopkeeper Du hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed to Yi Tian. He said, "I didn't expect Senior to be the Commander of the Imperial Capital's City Defense. Please uphold justice for this junior."
Yi Tian's expression didn't change, but he asked sternly, "How do you know that I'll stand up for you? Besides, as the commander of the Imperial City Defense, it's my duty. How can I cover for you at public expense?"
Instead of being shocked, Shopkeeper Du was overjoyed. He quickly replied, "Senior Yi is the commander of the Imperial Capital's City Defense. If you want to cause trouble for us, all you need to do is to bring a group of men to block the entrance of our shop. Today, you came here alone and went out of your way to discuss the details behind closed doors. Naturally, you won't cover for anyone. "
Shopkeeper Du had been in the Asura Realm for a long time. He had dealt with all kinds of people. Since he came in and saw Yi Tian, he knew what was going on.
Just as he said, if he wanted to cause trouble, he could just bring his men to seal the shop. There was no need for him to go through so much trouble. Yi Tian nodded slightly and said, "You're right. I also feel that there's something fishy about this matter. If you can tell me the ins and outs of this matter in detail, I might be able to find a way to help you. It can be considered as me owing you a favor for the recommendation letter you gave me last time. "
Shopkeeper Du revealed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time. He immediately replied, "Senior, please ask me anything. I'll definitely tell you everything I know."
"Alright. Let me ask you. When did Pu Changhao come to you to buy the Dark Spirit Stone?" Yi Tian asked in a deep voice.
Shopkeeper Du held his forehead and thought for a moment before saying, "It was about half a month ago."
"Half a month ago, which is about the time when the Asura Clan army locked onto the location of the largest Barbarian tribe in the northern desolate mountains." Yi Tian compared the time and silently calculated in his heart.
Then, he asked again, "You should have some understanding of the situation of the other businesses since you have stayed in the foreign trade area for a long time. Let me ask you, has Pu Changhao ever looked for other businesses to buy the 'Space Underworld Stone'? You must tell me the truth about this matter."
Shopkeeper Du saw Yi Tian's solemn expression and knew that there must be a problem. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "Yes, but not much. Senior, you must know that this' Space Underworld Stone 'is not an ordinary treasure. Naturally, it doesn't have many uses for it. Other than setting up a teleportation array, it has no other use. "
"If the 'Space Underworld Stone' is not enough, then can the high-grade 'Dark Spirit Stone' be mixed into it to set up a corresponding teleportation array?" Yi Tian suddenly asked.
Shopkeeper Du replied without thinking, "It's completely possible. However, it needs the 'Space Underworld Stone' to refine the array base. With a sufficient amount of 'Dark Spirit Stone', it can naturally achieve such an effect. Senior, do you suspect that the Count of Silver Moon Lake is setting up a large-scale teleportation array? "
"It's not a suspicion, but a conviction. He must have bought all the 'Space Underworld Stone' in the foreign race's territory," Yi Tian thought for a moment and said, "You're well-informed. Ask the familiar large businesses if they have sold all the 'Space Underworld Stone' in their inventory recently."
Shopkeeper Du's expression changed. After that, he took out several communication jade slips and quickly wrote down the information on them before activating them and sending them out. In less than 10 minutes, he received replies one after another. Shopkeeper Du briefly read the information on the jade talisman and handed it over.
After Yi Tian received these jade talismans, he scanned them with his Divine Sense and found that they were replies from the major businesses in the foreign race's territory. Coincidentally, the 'Space Underworld Stone' in their inventory had been purchased long ago. The time was about a month ago. And the people who bought them were actually the Count of Silver Moon Lake or people related to him.
Seeing this, Yi Tian naturally understood that this Count of Silver Moon Lake was definitely not as simple as he seemed on the surface. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Asura Clan's army encircling the barbarian tribes, the purpose of setting up a large-scale teleportation array in the capital was very suspicious.
Then he asked, "I heard from the Count of Silver Moon Lake that the 'Dark Spirit Stone' you provided to him is not the right one. Is there such a thing?"
"Senior Yi is wise. Because the amount of 'Dark Spirit Stone' is not much, we naturally don't have too much inventory. And we're the only one in the entire foreign race's trade area that has this supply, so it's up to us to decide whether to sell it or not. Pu Changhao forced me to reluctantly agree to sell half of the existing inventory to him last time. You should know that this thing is a strategic material. If there's no approval from the Asura Dynasty, it's naturally impossible to trade in large quantities, "Shopkeeper Du said.
It seems that the problem lies here. After thinking about it, Yi Tian put away the communication jade talisman in his hand and said, "This is material evidence, and you're a witness. Your business still needs to endure this matter for the time being. I'll find a way to find the key to the problem and solve the current problem for you. "
