However, it didn't take long. It was a little boring to travel alone. Mo Tiankong returned to his room and took a shower. He then changed his clothes and prepared to go out for a stroll. This time, he could fly around.
After packing up and closing the door, Mo Tiankong quickly ascended into the air with the help of the Auspicious Cloud.
As he continued to ascend, Mo Tiankong stopped when Sentry Town became a black dot. The higher he flew, the stronger the gravity of the Tianxuan Continent became. He felt that his mental power was being consumed at an extremely fast rate.
When he sensed this, Mo Tiankong decisively lowered his altitude. It seemed that Martial Kings could not fly too high. Otherwise, their mental power consumption would be too great, and they would not be able to fly for too long.
When he descended to a very low altitude, Mo Tiankong began to look at the entire Sentry Town.
This was also the first time Mo Tiankong saw Sentry Town. Only the inner town had walls. The outer town was a little messy, but overall, it was still square.
However, the outer town near the coast was a little smaller. It was like a basin placed flat on the ground. Looking from the side, the outer town was connected to the sea, and there were troops stationed there.
Looking down from the sky, it was exactly the position of the sea entrance. The entire Sentry Town looked like a line of defense blocking the sea entrance. This must have been planned. If the sea beasts broke through the garrison's line of defense, Sentry Town would become the first line of defense to stop the sea beasts' attack.
Moreover, there was an extremely small black dot not far away. Mo Tiankong guessed that it was Faraway City. As long as Sentry Town could defend against a wave of attacks from the sea beasts, Faraway City would definitely send reinforcements very quickly. The two cities were only less than 5,000 kilometers apart.
Faraway City was not as prosperous as a normal city, but there was a Venerable One overseeing it. This should be the arrangement of the Aquamarine Empire. Otherwise, Venerable Ones would usually oversee important cities and a few bustling cities with transportation hubs.
However, the defense of the coastline was also very important. It was not strange for there to be a Venerable One overseeing it. Humans had never let down their guard against the sea. After all, a force that was dozens of times stronger than them was sleeping right beside them. No one would not let down their guard.
Even if the other party did not attack them, they still had a basic defensive arrangement. As for the source of the information, it was naturally obtained when he was chatting with Zhang Tiannan.
Zhang Tiannan knew a little about his family. His grandfather was the old master of Lin family, the number one family in Faraway City. Old master Lin was a Venerable One. If the mayor of Faraway City was not a Venerable One, he would not be able to suppress the old master. After all, strength was king. this world.
If the mayor was a Martial Emperor, then, then Faraway City would already be surnamed.
In the Tianxuan Continent, 10% of the Lords were equivalent to the Dukes of Huaxia. The cities they ruled over were huge, and the population under their rule was huge. Moreover, almost every city had an army. If it were not for the deterrence of the empire's highest military force, they could totally proclaim themselves as kings.
However, the empire still had control over the cities. They sent warriors that they had nurtured to take up the position of mayor. Moreover, the two had a symbiotic relationship. The empire intimidated the surrounding countries. Generally, the empire's decree was something that the large families were willing to cooperate with.
Mo Tiankong slowly descended. Today, he came out for a stroll. He stood in the sky and saw the Sentry Town.
After descending to a height of only a few dozen meters, Mo Tiankong began to fly. From the outer town to the inner town, he went to the market square, the Pavilion of Many Treasures, and so on.
It had to be said that the inner town was indeed much more prosperous than the outer town. In the grocery store, Mo Tiankong could only see cultivators hurrying to and fro in order to make a living and cultivate. In the inner town, there were more people dressed in gorgeous clothes walking on the streets. There were also many women walking together.
The central square was filled with people. There were many roadside stalls, all kinds of restaurants, elixir stores, weapon manuals, clothing stores, and so on. There were countless of them.
Mo Tiankong was dazzled. The last time he came to the inner town, it was late at night and there were not many people. Moreover, some of the shops were closed. After all, the grocery store closed at ten o 'clock. If he went to the inner town for a stroll, it would be the wee hours of the morning.
This time, when he came here during the day, he saw the bustling scene of a strategic border town. Moreover, most of the people here were cultivators. There were even quite a number of women. Although the women's cultivation was not high, they had already entered the Martial Warrior level.
"Weapons from the Martial God Tomb. Let's take a look."
"Spirit Fruit from the ancient legends. Eating it can directly raise one's cultivation by one level."
Mo Tiankong landed. As he walked, he saw many stalls shouting. Mo Tiankong casually used two Appraisal skills and found that they were all scammers.
Of course, Mo Tiankong definitely knew that they were scammers. He used Appraisal to try and pick up some scraps. Unfortunately, after walking around, all he found were fakes.
The one selling the Spirit Fruit only had a fruit with some Yuan Qi. It could not even be considered a heavenly treasure. However, there were still many people surrounding it. He did not want to die from eating it.
He did not stop. After walking around, he hugged the Auspicious Fruit and flew up again.
Suddenly, Mo Tiankong saw a lot of people surrounding the city gate. Out of curiosity, he also flew over there.
When he landed, he saw many familiar faces. There were people from the Four Great Families here. The one leading them was someone from the Yeh family.
Furthermore, they were using the small transportation formation they had bought from the general store. Were they about to activate the transportation formation? As he circulated his Yuan Qi, a formation rune slowly formed on the ground. It was the formation rune of a transportation formation.
"What is that?" asked an ordinary person who did not know what was going on.
"I think it's a transportation formation bought from a general store outside the town. It's very mysterious. I heard it can instantly transport people thousands of miles away."
"Really? What general store has such a mysterious thing?"
"Of course. Someone from the Yeh family said it himself."
"Then where are we teleported to?"
"I heard it's going to Yuanfang City. If we walk there, it'll take a week."
"Then is it going to be placed at the city gate for us to use?"
"You're overthinking it. The people from the Yeh family said that each person can use it for five spirit stones. Moreover, when you go to Yuanfang City, you still have to spend five spirit stones to return."
"That's not very expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"But it's very convenient. I'm preparing to go into business. With this transportation formation, I can sell the sea beasts from Sentry Town," said a young warrior.
"If it's so fast in the future, people won't come and buy it themselves. Also, there will definitely be merchants coming. You won't have a chance," said a warrior disdainfully.
"I've been to that store. It says it only costs 100 spirit stones to activate the transportation formation. It can transport 50 people at a time," said a warrior who had been to the general store.
"Then it's only two spirit stones per person. Why is the Yeh family charging so much?"
"Are you stupid? They don't want to make money. This transportation formation costs 100,000 spirit stones. It's free for you to use," said the warrior.
"So expensive?"
An item worth 100,000 spirit stones for all the warriors in town to use. It was reasonable for them to charge so little spirit stones.
Pushing aside the crowd, Mo Tiankong walked in. Hearing the chatter of the surrounding warriors, he had a rough idea of what was going on.
The small transportation formation the Yeh family had bought was starting to open today. The destination was Yuanfang City. That meant they had already discussed the profit distribution with Yuanfang City.
The Yeh family really wasn't slow. They had negotiated in just one day. But that was normal. After all, they wanted to be one step ahead. Also, they had invited the other three families. This meant that the Yeh family would do the business. The other three families shouldn't even think about it.
Moreover, the price wasn't very high. Five spirit stones per person meant that they could make a total of 150 spirit stones per teleportation. After deducting the cost of 100 spirit stones, this price wasn't high. After all, the price of a small transportation formation was very high.
But if they used it ten times a day, they would be able to break even in two months. Of course, they would have to give Yuanfang City a portion of the profits. But it would only take half a year for them to break even. In the future, they would be able to make a profit. Furthermore, if they used it more often, the time it would take to break even would be shorter.
In the long run, this was a project that could build a foundation for a hundred years. It was no wonder the Yeh family wanted to be one step ahead.
"Everyone, the first teleportation is free. Anyone who wants to try can come first, but there are only fifty spots." A Martial King landed outside the city. He seemed to have come from a distant city, and after landing, he said, "Everyone, the first teleportation is free. Whoever wants to try can come first, but there are only fifty spots."
"The first teleportation is free. I want to try it."
"I want to try it."
As soon as he finished speaking, many people responded. Mo Tiankong was also curious. Moreover, it was free this time, so he immediately walked out of the crowd.
"Store Manager Mo, how come you have time to come?" The Yeh family's higher-ups had also been to the store before. They naturally recognized Mo Tiankong. Furthermore, Mo Tiankong didn't hide his Martial King cultivation fluctuations. He was shocked inside.
"Store Manager Mo, Store Manager Mo." Following the Yeh family's people, many people also greeted him.
"It's nothing. I was bored and came out for a walk. The store isn't open on Sunday." Mo Tiankong greeted them one by one and explained.
"Is that so? Store Manager Mo, if you want to use the transportation formation, please come this way." The Yeh family's expert invited him.
"Cough cough. There are only forty-nine spots left. If you want to use it, hurry up."
Mo Tiankong nodded and walked over. Seeing that Mo Tiankong wanted to take a seat, he hurriedly urged everyone. He didn't want to make Mo Tiankong wait for too long.
Soon, the fifty people were gathered. The cultivator immediately placed a hundred spirit stones into the jade token. Then, he activated his Yuan Qi. After a series of spatial distortions, all the people standing in the array pattern disappeared.
These 50 people had already appeared in Yuan Fang City's teleportation array, but after the cultivator in charge of guarding Yuan Fang City's teleportation array told them to stand still, everyone was teleported back.
In just a few seconds, everyone had crossed thousands of miles. It was a very magical experience. However, Mo Tiankong didn't have a very good experience.
