Soon, Yan Xiu and the others walked over to the shelves to take a look.
"Are these items that can increase spiritual power being sold in large quantities?" Yan Xiu frowned.
What he saw was the Thousand Island Lake Beer. This kind of treasure was also stored in the empire, but this store seemed to be selling it without a limit. Furthermore, it was cheap at only five hundred spirit stones. How could it be sold on the streets?
Even the imperial family had to store it for many years. Furthermore, he didn't think they would sell it like this.
"This should be the demonic beast space. The information I received before mentioned this." Elder Yun also picked up the Hanxue Horse's jade tablet to take a look.
With his spiritual power, he could vaguely sense that there were living creatures in the space connected to the jade tablet.
"How mysterious. This store's background is not simple." Elder Yun once again sighed with emotion. He refreshed his understanding of the general store.
"Mm." Yan Xiu nodded and walked over to the shelf where the transportation formation was placed.
"This small jade tablet can cross a distance of ten thousand miles." After looking at the description, Yan Xiu confirmed that it was indeed a small transportation formation. He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
No matter how he looked at it, it wasn't much different from the Hanxue Horse card. One was just a jade tablet, while the other was a pair of jade tablets.
"It should be. This jade tablet is similar to a control formation card." Elder Yun also followed and stroked his beard.
He also dabbled in formations. Furthermore, the description also stated how to use it.
"Elder Yun, how many should I buy?" Yan Xiu was a little uncertain and asked Elder Yun. If he couldn't buy the formation, then he could only buy some finished products. However, how many to buy was a problem.
"Thirty should be enough." Elder Yun pondered for a moment before saying.
The empire naturally had many spirit stone veins. Some of the closer ones didn't need to be laid, but the more distant ones would still be guarded by many experts. It would be a waste of manpower.
After all, not only was Sentry Town close to the sea, but there were also many cities near the sea. There would be a lot of troops and experts stationed in each place.
The empire had ninety-nine spirit stone veins. The imperial capital was located on seventy-two spirit stone veins. The remaining twenty-seven spirit stone veins were further away, and many experts were sent to guard them.
Once spirit stone veins were mined, there would definitely be demonic beasts entrenched in them. Moreover, most of them were located in the mountains and desolate swamps. So, they would definitely need to be guarded by experts.
The location of the Imperial Capital was originally a piece of wilderness. In the end, generations of powerhouses of the Empire continued to expand and eventually built the Imperial Capital. The area also continued to expand.
Considering the size of the Imperial Capital, it was necessary to set up a few teleportation portals at each exit. It would also be more convenient. After all, Elder Yun conservatively said 30 teleportation portals. After all, it was just a suggestion.
"Forty then." Yan Xiu added ten more to Elder Yun's suggestion. They would definitely be useful. As for the various cities, the Royal Family did not intend to participate in the profits from the teleportation portals.
Moreover, just the capital's teleportation array alone would generate more profits than all the other cities' teleportation arrays.
The core of the Aquamarine Empire was also the capital city. The area of the capital city was more than ten times larger than the average city. A large number of warriors lived there, and the population was huge. These small profits were not worth their attention.
There were many experts. As it was built on 72 spirit stone veins, the vitality of the Imperial Capital was much richer than that of a town like Sentry Town. Warriors naturally wanted to live in the Imperial Capital. Their cultivation would be much faster.
With more people, it would naturally be more prosperous. The martial arts market was also rich in resources. As long as one had enough spirit stones, they could buy them.
For example, spiritual power increasing treasures or finished pills were definitely sold in the Imperial Capital. However, they were definitely not as cheap as the grocery stores that sold them in large quantities.
These items were also rare items. However, the teleportation portals had already agreed on the purchase quantity. However, there were some other items that had never been seen in the mainland.
The group of people seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness just now and turned into crazy consumers.
Mo Tiankong was a little bored from waiting. He looked at Yan Xiu and the others who would occasionally pick up an item from the shelves and exchange for a while. He felt a little pained. It was almost business time.
The group of people was still dawdling. Looking at the situation, Mo Tiankong felt that it was necessary to remind them. There were so many twists and turns in wanting to eat a bear paw today. A wave of people came every once in a while. Could it be that they couldn't eat this protected animal? This wasn't Earth.
"Ahem, there are only 30 minutes before the store closes."
"Sorry, Store Manager Mo will be done soon." Yan Xiu came out of his state and said apologetically.
Not long after Mo Tiankong finished speaking, the group of people hurried to the cashier.
"Store Manager Mo, that's all. Take a look at the total number of spirit stones." Many people behind him took the items and put them on the cashier. Then, Yan Xiu opened his mouth and said.
"Yes, 40 small teleportation portals are 4 million spirit stones." Mo Tiankong was stunned. This was the second person after Lady Qian who spent money without blinking an eye. However, Mo Tiankong liked it very much.
"200 Ferghana Horse Cards are 1 million spirit stones." Mo Tiankong continued.
"A total of 5 million spirit stones." Mo Tiankong glanced at Yan Xiu with a calm expression.
This was the highest price in a single transaction in the provision store. However, Yan Xiu's expression didn't change. He was rich.
"Store Manager Mo, please count." Hearing that the final price was only 5 million spirit stones, Yan Xiu revealed a smile. Then, he took out a space ring and placed it on the cashier.
5 million spirit stones was enough to buy so many items. Yan Xiu was delighted. If all the entrances and exits of the kingdom were paved, 5 million spirit stones could be earned back by a few hundred thousand people entering and exiting the kingdom.
Yan Xiu didn't know that if he didn't count, he would be shocked. He even thought that all the cities in the kingdom would be paved by the royal family. How many spirit stones would they earn every minute? However, after thinking about it, he still had to leave some leftovers for the various cities. Moreover, it would take a lot of manpower and resources.
Yan Xiu and the rest took their leave after Mo Tiankong confirmed that everything was correct.
After waiting for a few minutes, it was time for business. Wangzai's half price day was also over. Mo Tiankong quickly closed the door of the shop and returned to the backyard. This time, no one will disturb me.
However, Mo Tiankong had never eaten bear paws before. Therefore, he had to use the traditional cooking method of the Chinese culinary world.
If he didn't know how, he stewed it. After cleaning it up, he stewed it and added some seafood to make a soup.
Anyway, there was no problem eating it. It didn't matter if it tasted good or not. The most important thing was that it wouldn't go bad. After all, his physique was already superhuman.
"It's time to eat." He kicked Lucky awake in annoyance. This fellow had been busy all day and night, while this fellow had also been sleeping all day.
He carried a big pot of bear paw soup and placed it on the stone table. Then, he took out two big bowls. The bear paw was already rotten. He scooped two big bowls and started eating.
After taking a bite, he was satisfied with the taste. Then, he started eating in big mouthfuls. Auspicious even chewed and swallowed the bones. Amazing.
Mo Tiankong could also chew it, but it wouldn't look good. He silently pushed the bones to Auspicious.
Auspicious didn't mind that Mo Tiankong had eaten it before and started chewing.
"…" Mo Tiankong thought to himself. This didn't count as an indirect kiss, right?
"F * ck, take your claws away." Mo Tiankong was eating with his head lowered. He realized that Auspicious was eating very quickly and its claws were about to reach into the pot. He quickly stopped it.
Auspicious scratched it with its claws. Can I still eat? I only ate one bowl and it wants to eat all by itself.
After eating, Mo Tiankong put away Auspicious and went upstairs.
.....
On Tuesday, Mo Tiankong woke up to Little White Rabbit's bell. It was time to open for business. He turned over, walked to the closet, put on his clothes, washed up, and went downstairs.
When he opened the door, a group of martial artists was already waiting. Mo Tiankong didn't delay and made way for them to enter.
"Hey, did you see the announcement today? The Prodigy Ranking Competition has been announced. Let's go and sign up."
"I saw it too. Let's go together later."
"I heard that the rewards this time are good."
"Of course. The top 100 martial artists will be rewarded with yellow grade weapons. The top 10 will be rewarded with black grade weapons."
"I'm just lacking a weapon. This time, I must get into the top 10."
"Keep bragging. You didn't even get into the top 100 last time."
"It's been three years. My cultivation has improved a lot. Hmph, I'll definitely get into the top 100 this time."
"Hehe, I have hope this year too."
"The time is in three days. Go into seclusion for the next two days and see if you can improve a little more."
"Be careful. Don't miss it."
"I won't. Just call me when the time comes."
"One month later, the top 100 martial artists will go to the imperial capital for the main selection again."
Hearing this, Mo Tiankong knew that the official announcement had been made. The selection would officially begin in three days.
Time was a little tight. The announcement was only three days in advance.
However, the selection time in each place should be different. Since the empire had made the announcement, the selection in the imperial capital might have already ended.
Fortunately, due to the distance, there was still plenty of time. There was still a month before the selection ended and they would go to the imperial capital.
According to these people, the rewards in Sentry Town this time were not bad. Moreover, they were all rewards of weapons. The top 100 martial artists would be better in terms of equipment and strength.
This reward was obviously considered. After the preliminary selection, the strength of the geniuses in the various cities of the empire would be better.
As for the empire's rewards, they were still unclear. They would only know when they reached the imperial capital.
At this point, the Prodigy List, a grand event on the continent, had already begun in various places.
Mo Tiankong thought about it. There would definitely be martial artists going to the imperial capital to watch the competition. If a large number of martial artists left, the business of the grocery store would definitely be affected.
However, after thinking about it, it shouldn't have much of an impact. After all, the journey was long, and not many people would go. However, with so many teleportation arrays, it could be considered to have saved half the time.
Sigh, I'm too lazy to think about it. There shouldn't be many martial artists going. Perhaps the families of some of the martial artists in the preliminary selection will go. It won't affect the store much.
