However, Mo Tiankong didn't pay much attention to it. There were a lot of cultivators who came to the shop early in the morning, so they didn't have much free time.
Moreover, Mo Tiankong took some time to use his appraisal technique and saw a cultivator from the Marton Empire. There were a few people around him who were also from the Marton Empire. They were from the same faction and were in the same line as him. He could chat with them later.
The line moved forward bit by bit, and soon, it was the turn of the cultivators from the Marton Empire.
"Store Manager Mo, here are the items in total."
The leader of the group, Udun, said. Udun belonged to a large trading company in the Marton Empire. Since it was under the family, it was normal for a direct descendant of the family to work in it.
"Oh, a total of 7.6 million spirit stones."
Mo Tiankong glanced at the items behind Udun and said.
Mo Tiankong was already used to transactions that cost millions of spirit stones. A trading company that could travel such a long distance to come here was definitely not small. A few million spirit stones definitely wasn't all the wealth of this faction.
Of course, it was easy to understand the logic of the Royal Family. The bigger the faction, the more spirit stones they used for expenses would be scattered. If they really wanted to gather all the spirit stones, they would be able to take them out.
However, the Royal Family didn't use spirit stones for other things. They couldn't just rely on spirit stones to buy items for shops. Cultivation elixirs, natural treasures, alchemists, and many other things.
Then, they wouldn't have enough spirit stones to buy shops. Moreover, no one would take out all their wealth to buy items. People always had to leave a way out.
The Udun Family's trading company also had other businesses. After all, they were doing very well, so they naturally wouldn't give up for no reason.
In addition, the mountains were high and the rivers were far away. Naturally, they wouldn't bring too many spirit stones with them. No one knew what would happen on the way.
The first time they came, they were basically just testing the waters. If they returned safely, they would gradually bring more spirit stones with them. Of course, there was a limit to how many spirit stones they could bring.
A few million spirit stones or even 10 million spirit stones was a huge expenditure for any Exalt Realm power.
After all, a family with a long history might consume tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Spirit Stones. However, the amount of liquid funds they could take out was definitely not that much. Generally, if they could take out a fraction of the amount, it meant that the family had not gone downhill yet.
Otherwise, it would naturally start to go downhill, and the clan might also slowly decline.
In fact, the demise of such forces should be very common in the Tianxuan Continent. After all, the continent was so big, the empire was so big, and there were so many forces. This was because even high-level warriors had a limit to their lifespan. If there was no strong warrior who could shoulder the burden of the family before the end of their lifespan, then the decline of the family was inevitable.
Of course, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. These forces still had some breathing room. After all, if they had a foundation, they could still nurture some experts.
However, it also depended on luck. Strictly speaking, the person who founded the force should be the strongest. It was usually very difficult for the younger generation to surpass him. Therefore, it was easy to nurture ordinary experts. If one wanted to reach the same height as the ancestors, then it would depend on one's luck and talent.
Even the super clans on the continent relied on the influence of their ancestors. For example, the Martial God Clan's foundation might be able to nurture a Saint Realm expert. Although they couldn't reach the height of their ancestors, they could still be considered a super clan in the continent.
With a high starting point, the degree of enjoying the influence was also high. This was something that couldn't be envied. If the younger generation of a Exalt Realm expert's family didn't work hard or didn't have any talent, then they might only be able to reach the Martial Emperor Realm. Then, the family would be considered going downhill.
The comparison between these two forces was unfair because there were many Martial Emperor Realm experts on the continent. If one was unlucky, then the family would be exterminated overnight.
However, if it was the Martial God Clan, then there wouldn't be any experts that could be easily dealt with. That was because even if they weren't as strong as the ancestors, their influence was still at the peak of the continent.
This was only one aspect. Also, the grocery store's products were naturally the majority. However, one shouldn't forget that the current Miracle City was second only to Ocean Blue Empire's bustling city.
The warriors who had come here once were basically clear that if a large number of trading companies gathered here, then naturally there would be abundant resources. There were all kinds of materials and items. After all, the variety of goods in the stores was still very small. The warriors needed a wide range of things.
Martial skills, cultivation methods, materials, all kinds of items, there would only be a market if there was a need. Then, naturally, there would be warriors who would buy them if there was a market.
Therefore, the majority of the people came to the grocery store to buy things. However, they would also leave some spirit stones to stroll around Miracle City in case there were some rare things that they could buy.
Moreover, the warriors from other empires would also come to buy some things. Some of them were the specialties of their empires. That Marton Empire didn't have them. It was cost-effective to come here to buy some for their own use or to sell.
Since they were already here, they would definitely buy some if they had the chance. In the past, because of the place of production, manpower, materials, and so on, the trading companies would purchase and sell them in their own countries. This was a big business.
Although most of the empires had set up teleportation arrays, the cost of using them wasn't low. Bringing goods from other empires to their own countries and selling them in their own countries was also a very profitable business.
Basically, the trading companies who had come to the store once or twice would know to buy some things on the way. The specialties of a city were already much more expensive when they were transported to other cities. Then, when they were transported to other empires, those items would be even rarer.
After the transaction, Uber and the others began to put the items into their Space Rings and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment, you should be a warrior from the Marton Empire, right?"
Mo Tiankong also spoke when he saw the situation.
"Yes."
Being stopped, Uber turned around and said.
"Store Manager Mo, what's the matter?"
Uber asked with some doubts. Something must have happened since he stopped him, but he didn't know what it was.
"Cough cough, it's like this. I want to buy a map of the Marton Empire. I don't know if you have it here."
Mo Tiankong also spoke directly. That's right, he was here for the map.
"Uh, yes, Uber, give me your map."
After knowing what was going on, Uber didn't hesitate and directly asked the person behind him to give him the map.
Traveling merchants would naturally bring a map when they came out. The map of the Marton Empire and the general map of the Eastern Xuan Domain would be brought along.
When Uber first came to the grocery store, he entered from the Great Wan Empire. After entering the empire, he found out the location of the grocery store after asking around.
"Store Manager Mo, I'll give you the map."
After Uber got the map, he directly handed it to Mo Tiankong and said.
To be honest, the map wasn't worth spirit stones. After all, families like the Lin Family could get it easily. It didn't matter as long as it was leaked to other empires. In the martial arts world, strength was everything. If one wasn't strong enough, one wouldn't dare to fight in front of them.
As for why ordinary warriors generally didn't have a map, one was that they were very familiar with the place they grew up in and didn't need a map. Another reason was that the price of the map wasn't cheap. After all, it took a lot of effort to draw it. The detailed map of the Aquamarine Empire took a lot of time and effort. This version of the map was a complete map, and ordinary warriors couldn't buy it. The price wasn't low.
Therefore, Mo Tiankong didn't consider the kind of map for ordinary warriors. But since Uber could take out so many spirit stones to buy items, he should have some influence. So the map should be much more complete.
After all, all martial artists with mobile phones could use it, so if Mo Tiankong wanted to do it, he would definitely do it well.
But if Uber gave it to him for free, Mo Tiankong still felt a little bad. He wasn't familiar with it and they didn't have any relationship.
"Okay, but I'll give you a bottle of Thousand Island Lake Beer."
Between a favor and some spirit stones, Mo Tiankong decisively chose spirit stones.
"Store Manager Mo is too polite."
Uber knew his place. Mo Kongkong was the owner of this shop. Giving him a map wasn't enough to establish a relationship with him. Hence, he accepted the beer. At least, they were more familiar with each other now.
Then the group left. Mo Tiankong picked up the map and looked at it. It was quite detailed. Then he put it away. Now wasn't the time to look at it carefully.
Currently, he already had detailed maps of the Great Wan Empire, Keshuang Empire, and Marton Empire. The others were not collected yet.
Mo Tiankong decided to complete the maps of the three empires first. After all, it wasn't an easy task to complete a map. He still needed to use Ruyi to calculate distances and so on. Some places that weren't marked had to be marked.
The workload was still a lot. Currently, the maps of these three empires were enough for him to concentrate on for a few days. The rest would be left to Luo Ruo and the others.
Of course, he couldn't leave now. Forget it for today, the queue was still here, and it wasn't the time to rush.
Mo Tiankong's island plan was still a little attractive, but that was it. After all, the three forces that went out to sea hadn't returned yet.
If they came back with a lot of resources, then the sales of the Armor Breaking Ships wouldn't be a problem. At that time, Mo Tiankong could slowly explore the other islands near the coastline of the empire. Then he could explore the other empires of the Eastern Xuan Domain. Otherwise, even if he made it now, there wouldn't be many forces that would take action.
After all, wealth moved people's hearts. But between wealth and life, there was no doubt that they would choose life. But if the risk wasn't that high, then these people would naturally choose to eat the cake.
No one would complain about having too many resources. Just like Mo Tiankong, he wouldn't complain about having too many spirit stones. If he really had an endless supply of spirit stones, even if the exchange rate was 10: 1, Mo Tiankong would use them to increase his cultivation.
Of course, collecting maps wasn't that easy. It depended on luck. The Aquamarine Empire could also get maps of other empires, but it wouldn't be as complete as the maps of other empires.
