Yang Zhen finally agreed to Zhao Qianan and help him talk about it when the time was right. After all, Tie Zhu was working under him, and he didn't want to offend this person too much.
Zhao Qian'an is still a little dissatisfied, and hopes that Yang Zhen can guarantee his help to the end. Of course that wouldn't work, and there was nothing more he could do.
Then Yang Zhen asked what she would do with the two dead Xiangzhi grass.
"What should I do with it? It hasn't grown yet, so I shouldn't throw it away!"
Zhao Qianan said carelessly. Suddenly he understood something, his tone changed, and he immediately said with a sad face: "But... after raising her for twenty years, I... can't let go, hehe, I can't let go."
Damn it! Yang Zhen cursed in her heart, if you really talk about your feelings, there are so many grasses in this medicine garden, why don't you have to shed tears every day!
He didn't waste any time and pointed it out directly: "Five kilograms of black iron beetles."
"Okay! Brother Yang is really happy!" Zhao Qian'an immediately smiled.
The reason why Xiangzhicao can become the main medicine of Ningyuan Dan is because it continuously absorbs the surrounding spiritual energy during its growth. The fragrant zhi fruit formed in the end is very rich in spiritual power and can provide a source of spiritual power for the Ning Yuan Dan. Although these two plants died young, there should be a lot of residual spiritual power in their bodies, which may be useful to Xiaocao.
Ten kilograms of black iron beetles were only worth one spiritual stone. In exchange for these two grasses, it didn't matter even if he lost money in the end. He didn't care about such a piece of two pieces now.
“But it’s the Chinese New Year, so I can’t go to the market to buy it for you after the festival.”
"No problem, I believe in my brother's character." Zhao Qianan laughed.
The two reached a deal, and the two Xiangzhi grass plants were quickly taken by Zhao Qianan. Yang Zhen stuffed it into her arms, then said hello to Tie Zhu and left. At this time, the big pillar had been lifted up and healed by everyone.
When he arrived at the Madam's courtyard, he was told by Caiyan that since he was going back to Changshan tomorrow, tonight's story would be temporarily stopped and would be told after the new year.
…
Early the next morning, more than a hundred people stood in the square in front of the Yanqing Hall of the Zhao Mansion. Among them were about forty stewards, monks and their families, who were preparing to return to Changshan by flying boat today, and the rest were from the front. Relatives and friends who came to see me off.
There are many acquaintances that Yang Zhen knows, such as Zhao Gui, Zhao Qing, Jia Sheng, etc. Zhao Zhe and Zhao Qian'an didn't have any relatives in Changshan. One stayed behind to look after the house and the other looked after the medicine garden, but they did not appear among this group of people.
After a while, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man came to the steps in front of the hall, stretched out his hand, and a ten-foot-long, two-story flying boat appeared in the open space in front of him. Everyone in the square burst into cheers, and those returning home said goodbye to their relatives and friends and began to board the ship.
Soon, the spacecraft loaded up the passengers, took off into the sky, and flew towards the northwest.
…
On the hillside in front of Shuihengyuan, the lady stood with her hands folded, silently watching the flying boat go away. Naturally, she would not take this flying boat that would take three hours to arrive. There is the Zhao family's teleportation array deep in Baiyun Mountain. She, Nanny, Zhao Yue'er and others will use the teleportation array to go back.
"The teleportation array can teleport up to six people at a time," Zhao Yue'er whispered to Yang Zhen behind her: "Aniang, Nanny, Sister Caiyan, Sister Caiyun, and me..."
The little girl gestured with her fingers: "Mommy said, if we add you, there will be exactly six people."
"Who is driving the flying boat? I've never seen it before." Yang Zhen asked. A flying boat as big as that is at least a second-level magic weapon and requires a foundation-building monk to drive it.
"It was an elder who came back from the state yesterday. He bought a lot of new year's goods from the state and we just happened to go back together." The little girl was really well informed.
She showed a disappointed expression: "If he hadn't come, this flying boat must have been controlled by grandma, and then we could all ride on the flying boat. I like riding on the flying boat, and the teleportation array is not fun at all."
It was indeed not fun, because my wife had nothing to do this morning, and she happened to be studying her daughter's knowledge in the school exam. First, I wrote a text, and then I randomly checked arithmetic, general history, geography, etc. This made the little girl who originally planned to take Caiyun, Yang Zhen and others to play in the snow in the mountains look unhappy.
As a reading companion, Yang Zhen naturally had to accompany him on the exam. Fortunately, both of them were top academics. Even though the little girl was pouting and sulking, she still answered the homework quite well. After taking the exam for about an hour, Madam gave her a day off.
Yang Zhen did it faster than her, and took advantage of the time to hand in the papers in advance to whisper to Madam what happened in the medicine garden yesterday.
"Why didn't he come and tell me himself?" Madam frowned.
"He said he was a little late yesterday and was worried about disturbing his wife. As for why he didn't come today, I don't know." Yang Zhen didn't help him cover up.
It was probably the Chinese New Year, so Madam had no intention of dealing with this matter. She just asked Caiyan to send someone to pass an order to Zhao Qianan, asking him to repair the formation, capture monsters, take good care of the injured plants, etc.
In the afternoon, calculating the time, the flying boat was almost at Changshan. Then Madam, together with her grandma, took Zhao Yue'er and three followers, and a group of six people walked towards the teleportation array.
"How many spiritual stones are needed to transmit the teleportation array once?" Yang Zhen asked casually.
Zhao Yue'er couldn't answer and looked at her grandma.
"There are big and small teleportation arrays, let alone the big ones. The distance between our teleportation array and Changshan Mountain is one thousand two hundred miles. It is just a small teleportation array, so the consumption is not high. One teleportation costs about five spirit stones. ." Grandma explained with a smile.
Yang Zhen calculated in her mind and then asked: "I heard that the flying boat in the morning required fifty spirit stones to fly to Changshan, and there were only about forty passengers in it. In that case, why don't they all come and ride on this teleportation array? Not only is the cost lower, but time is also greatly saved.”
"There are two reasons..." Mammy held out two fingers. The group of them walked along the mountain road, not in a hurry, so they patiently explained.
"First, most of the passengers on the flying boat in the morning were mortals. Mortals cannot ride in the teleportation array alone and need to be protected by immortal cultivators. Generally speaking, cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi training can protect themselves with their own magic power. , in the later stage of Qi training, there is extra mana to protect mortals, but the number is only one person. In the foundation building stage, the mana is more abundant, and the number of people to protect is also greatly increased. However, when teleporting, it is still easy for things to go wrong if there are too many mortals. For example, Laoshen himself, It’s easy to protect the four of you, but if you give me ten mortals, I’m worried that I won’t be able to take care of them.”
"The second reason is that the spaceship can carry a lot of goods. During this Chinese New Year, we purchased a lot of new year's goods in the county. And the elder who went to the city also bought a lot of things. With so many supplies, It’s not easy to transport using the teleportation array.”
"Isn't there a storage bag?" Yang Zhen asked curiously: "I see that many people don't have much in their hands when they board the ship."
"Storage bags are like people. They need to be protected by monks when passing through the teleportation array. However, the flying boat does not take up space, so it is even more necessary to take the boat."
It turns out that the storage bag is equivalent to another space. When passing through the teleportation array, if there is no magic protection from the monks, the concussive force of the space will act on the storage bag, which will easily cause the space of the latter to collapse and rupture, and the contents inside will flow out. In severe cases, it will even affect the monks' health. Safety.
Similarly, monks with different cultivation levels have different storage bag spaces that can be protected. For example, a monk in the early stage of Qi training can only protect a small storage bag with a space of less than one foot square. At the foundation building stage, it can protect storage bags of ten cubic meters or even larger spaces. Of course, ordinary storage bags will not be that big, but if you stack multiple ones together or use a higher-end Xumi ring, the effect will be the same.
However, when the teleportation array charges external fees, each monk can usually only carry one storage bag for free, and additional fees will be charged for any excess.
"If there were no such restriction, I would be able to earn a year's worth of cultivation resources in just a few days by carrying dozens or hundreds of storage bags and traveling back and forth from the county town to the state town."
While they were talking, several people came to a mountain wall. Nanny took out the token and drew it, and a cave entrance suddenly appeared. It was big enough to accommodate two or three people walking at the same time.
Everyone filed in, and soon came to a spacious hall, with many of the night-bright pearls that mammies talked about hanging on it, except that the beads here were bigger and the light they emitted was brighter.
A young monk was meditating. When he saw everyone arriving, he stood up and saluted. Then they were led to the circular high platform in front of the hall. There are six white jade pillars more than ten feet high erected in a circle around the high platform. There is a round hole in the middle of each pillar, with a crystal clear bead, the size of a pigeon egg, stuffed inside.
"This is a middle-grade spiritual stone." Grandma was very excited today and simply continued to introduce it to Yang Zhen: "There are formation patterns connected between the six pillars, and there are also formation patterns under our feet. When the formation is activated, you can Will see."
The six people were already standing in the middle of the high platform. Yang Zhen, Zhao Yuer, and two maids were surrounding the grandma. A ray of bright light hit the four of them, as if a transparent film covered them.
"Don't move around for a while, I can protect you." Grandma ordered.
As the young monk cast a spell, the six pillars shone brightly at the same time. A halo of light continued to rotate and appear, and continued to shrink toward the center of the round platform. The speed became faster and faster, and soon wrapped the six people in the center of the round platform.
At this moment, Yang Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly thought of the little bluestone in her arms. There is also a space inside this stone. I, a mere mortal, cannot protect it. It won't break, right?
Yang Zhen was in a hurry, but it was too late to do anything at this time. He felt as if he had entered a strange space and was being swept up by a huge force and flying at high speed...
