Most importantly, he didn't call him. Previously, he had the Gao Family's caravan give Old Man Gao his phone number, but he didn't call him before coming.
He wanted to give him a surprise. Mo Tiankong instantly felt a chill run down his spine. Gao Zhan was a genuine old man, and he still wanted to give him a surprise? He couldn't have such thoughts.
"Store Manager Mo, you're already so old, but you've never left the Xiu Mi Empire. Didn't you want to come out for a walk?"
Old man Gao Zhan stroked his beard and said.
"Luo Ruo, I'll leave this to you."
Mo Tiankong casually said and brought Gao Zhan to the backyard.
There were so many martial artists in the hall that it wasn't suitable for them to talk.
Moreover, it wasn't long before business hours ended. Mo Tiankong leaving now wasn't a problem. After all, he would definitely be busy until business hours ended.
As for the caravan that followed them, they didn't follow them to the backyard. After all, they were here to buy things.
Moreover, because Gao Zhan was leading the caravan, Manager Gao didn't come this time.
"Old Brother Gao, it's rare for you to come here. You should stay for a few more days."
The two sat down in front of a stone table in the backyard. Mo Tiankong brewed a pot of tea and asked.
"Store Manager Mo, Dawan and Gui Shuang empires have already set up teleportation formations. It's quite convenient to go back and forth."
Gao Zhan said.
"It's not just these empires. Most of the cities in the Xiu Mi Empire have already finished setting up teleportation formations. Now, it's much faster for merchants to travel."
"I heard that the Hundred Divisions Empire is about the same. Several empires in the Eastern Xuan Region are almost popularized with teleportation formations. Store Manager Mo has changed the way people travel in the Eastern Xuan Region."
Old man Gao seemed to have opened up a chatterbox and spoke for a while.
Mo Tiankong also quietly listened. He knew what he was doing, but in reality, he didn't know as much as the people in the native empires.
For example, the popularity of teleportation formations. From the popularity of teleportation formations, one could roughly estimate how high a person's reputation was.
Moreover, there were many merchants in Songcheng. There should be some that traveled across regions. Naturally, they would know more about the news of other empires.
After all, the Gao family was the most powerful force in Songcheng. It wasn't too difficult for the Gao family to obtain information about these businesses.
From the looks of it, the Eastern Xuan Region's empires had basically popularized teleportation formations. Most of the cities had already been set up with teleportation formations. Needless to say, the Grand Wan Empire and Kushuang Empire were the first to popularize shops.
As for some of the other empires, Mo Tiankong had seen quite a few cultivators come over. Not to mention, the business of the shop was generally very busy, so Mo Tiankong didn't have the time to use the Martial Identification Technique on each and every one of them.
Therefore, even though some of the trading companies that he had some impression of had come to know about it, he didn't pay much attention to the other powers in the empire.
But it didn't mean that they hadn't come here before. After all, everyone wanted to eat some cakes. Even if they weren't like most companies who wanted to make a profit from the second sale, they still had to buy their own cakes.
Previously, he didn't hide the information about his shop when he was promoting it. Moreover, when the items were released, these forces wouldn't be able to keep it a secret if they wanted to know.
Even if it was the Gao family, if other powers with Venerables asked about it, and if the imperial family asked about it, would you tell them?
If it was just one or two of them, it wouldn't be a problem. The problem was how many powers there were in an empire. It was impossible for them to not mention it. No matter how strong they were, they wouldn't be able to swallow all the benefits.
Even the imperial family was the same. Even if they couldn't get an answer directly, they could still indirectly support the princes. Those powers were the best. Once they got in touch with them, they would know.
Unless the Sovereign Emperor was the only one who knew about it, others wouldn't be able to do anything about it. But would the Sovereign Emperor personally do such a thing?
Then his subordinates would leak it sooner or later. As long as the spirit stones were in place or the items were in place, there was nothing that couldn't be revealed.
"Old man Gao, why didn't you give me a call before coming?"
Mo Tiankong finally asked this question.
"Store Manager Mo, if I had to give you a call before coming to find you, wouldn't that make us seem distant?"
Gao Zhan smiled.
Mo Tiankong was startled. Alright, this logic really did make sense. But it was a bit forced.
"Oh right, I also brought some gifts for you this time."
Previously, Mo Tiankong had asked the Gao Family's caravan to bring back some things. There were chewing candies, grenades, and some other natural treasures on Tiger Head Island.
Gao Zhan naturally couldn't come empty-handed this time, so he still prepared some gifts. They were just some local specialties. He didn't bring anything else as a token of appreciation. After all, any random item in the store was incomparably precious.
So there was no need to bring out any special items. The Gao Family was just a Venerable realm power. They couldn't bring out any good treasures.
"This is the Rainforest Bamboo Shoot. It's produced in the forbidden area of the Southern Xuan Region's Black Xuan Empire. It's a precious ingredient. Every year, Jinyang City would only offer this to the imperial family. This is the egg of a One-legged Crane. One-legged Crane only lays one egg every time it breeds. Moreover, this kind of demon beast is rare …"
Gao Zhan's personal show began. He took out some items from his spatial ring and introduced them.
Mo Tiankong was also watching with interest. The Rainforest Bamboo Shoot was a green bamboo shoot. That's right, it was a bamboo shoot. It was completely green and very beautiful. However, it could be considered an ingredient that was cultivated.
The One-legged Crane's egg was the size of a human head. Moreover, there was a faint aura within the egg. It could also be considered an ingredient. It had already missed the incubation process and had returned to its original state.
It could only be used as an ingredient. Otherwise, Songcheng still had a method of cultivating demon beasts. It was worth a try. Of course, Mo Tiankong didn't care about the Auspicious item. It was best to use it as an ingredient.
There were many other things that were more precious. The main thing was that they were rare. For example, the Rainforest Bamboo Shoot was an item from the Southern Xuan Region. It wasn't easy for the Eastern Xuan Region to get it. Not to mention, it was an item that was offered to the imperial family.
The rarer an item was, the more precious it was. However, these were all ingredients. Yes, precious ingredients. Mo Tiankong thought.
Gao Zhan's gift was a batch of ingredients. There was no way around it. There were too many good things in the store. What should he give? Thinking about how Mo Tiankong liked good food, he prepared some precious ingredients this time.
Gao Zhan was also good at this. Ever since he returned to the Gao Family, he had been eating with Mo Tiankong every day, so he knew.
This old man also liked good food, so it was normal for him to collect ingredients.
"Elder Gao, you're too considerate."
Mo Tiankong smiled. Wasn't life just a bit of fun? Eating, drinking, and playing? Just think about how quintessential it was.
Mo Tiankong happily accepted these items. He could make some for dinner.
There really weren't many ingredients left in the store. There were only some seafood that they had caught from the sea. The rest had basically been eaten.
Six people ah! No, Ji Xiang could be counted as four people. The demonic beasts that they had hunted before were almost all eaten up when they were on Sky Island.
"It's nothing. It can't be compared to the things that Store Manager Mo gave."
Gao Zhan waved his hand. Although these ingredients were rare, as long as there were enough spirit stones, they could still be obtained. However, the things that Mo Tiankong gave were much more precious. There was also chewing gum, grenades, and so on. These were all things that couldn't be bought anywhere.
Moreover, the store didn't have anything to buy at the moment. Therefore, it was a limited edition.
Later on, he had the caravan bring more spirit stones, but there wasn't anything to sell. Therefore, these things were even more precious.
With regards to this, Mo Tiankong didn't refute. Mo Tiankong didn't intend to get anything in return when he gave gifts. However, these gifts were indeed more valuable. Didn't you see the price of the gifts he gave to the Tu Clan Trading Firm?
Now that they were out of stock, these items would be used less and less. When they couldn't even be bought in the black market, the price would probably double.
Five or ten times, as long as someone needed it, they would be able to offer this price. Of course, these items were just gifts that Mo Tiankong gave to thank the other party for treating him well.
Although he hadn't interacted with the Gao Family for long, Mo Tiankong knew that Gao Zhan and the others had good characters. Therefore, he wanted to make friends with them.
"Oh right, Elder Gao, did the Armor Destroyer go out to sea before?"
Mo Tiankong remembered the Armor Destroyer that the Gao Family bought before. However, the Xiu Mi Empire was an inland empire. Gao Zhan might not have gone out to sea before.
"Uh, Store Manager Mo, you should know about the situation in the Xiu Mi Empire. That Armor Destroyer is with the Gao Family."
Gao Zhan said awkwardly.
They had bought the Armor Destroyer a long time ago. However, because it was an inland empire and Gao Zhan was quite busy in Songcheng, the Armor Destroyer was used as a layer of defense for the Gao Family.
"Elder Gao, do you want to go out to sea tomorrow?"
"It's just as I expected," Mo Tiankong said.
"Haha, that's exactly what I wanted. I was just about to go out to sea."
Gao Zhan agreed without hesitation.
He was even looking forward to it. On the Blue Planet, he could see news of certain factions going out to sea every day. However, he had never gone out to sea before.
Looking at the vast sea and the primitive islands, it was inevitable that he would look forward to it.
It was like someone who had never taken a plane before. Now that he had the chance, he would definitely want to take one.
Actually, taking a plane wasn't that big of a deal. However, he still wanted to do it even if he hadn't done it before. That was how people were.
"Elder Gao, let's eat in the store tonight. The store doesn't only have good items, the food is also top-notch."
Mo Tiankong continued.
"Oh, in that case, I'll give it a try."
Gao Zhan agreed with a smile.
Of course, Mo Tiankong didn't have any top-notch ingredients. However, he had the God of Cooking Set. The ingredients weren't important. The most important thing was the taste.
At ten o 'clock sharp, after a day of business, Luo Ruo and the other two girls returned to the backyard. The people from the Gao Family's trading company went to the inn first.
The old man didn't leave. He was waiting for dinner.
