Tian Xiaoding failed to meet his wife Ouyang Qing in the secret realm of Lingtai Island. After the secret realm ended, he made a temporary decision to follow Xu Guangyao to Huaxuanzhou.
However, when he learned that using the intercontinental teleportation array leading to Huaxuanzhou required paying a high fee, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
That's one billion white low-grade spiritual stones!
Even if Xiao Ding has obtained a small vein of spirit stones in the secret realm, it is not enough to collect so many spirit stones!
While marveling at the high cost of the intercontinental teleportation array, Xiao Ding also began to sincerely admire the monks in Huaxuanzhou.
There are quite a few monks from Hua Xuanzhou who came to this secret realm of Lingtai Island this time. Some of them have many people from the same sect, which shows how rich the sect behind them is.
Xiao Ding felt that if he wanted to collect enough of these one billion white low-grade spiritual stones, he would probably have to save for a while. At present, the way he can quickly earn spiritual stones is still limited to selling elixirs or selling rare spiritual plants in the Qiankun Pot.
But these are just a drop in the bucket. If you want to collect one billion white low-grade spiritual stones, it is still far from enough.
It seems that the plan to follow Xu Guangyao to Huaxuanzhou cannot be realized in a short time.
Xu Guangyao saw Xiao Ding's difficulty, and he said embarrassedly: "Brother Tian, the spirit stones I brought are only enough for me to teleport by myself. There is nothing extra. When my brothers and I left the sect, , the sect has calculated the spiritual stones and distributed them to us."
Xiao Ding shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter. I don't have enough spirit stones now. Then I will wait until I earn enough spirit stones and then go to Huaxuanzhou. When I arrive at Linhai City later, I will go with you to take a look at the teleportation array. That’s it.”
After flying at sea for more than ten days, Xiao Ding and others arrived at the coast.
The eldest sister and Lu Tianshuo said goodbye and took the eldest sister's spacecraft to fly to Tianyao Village alone.
Xiao Ding told the elder sister that when she goes back, she can just give the restoration grass she got to Yue Yurou, and Yue Yurou can refine the Guiyuan Pill herself.
The eldest sister nodded in agreement, loaded up Lu Tianshuo, and flew the spaceship's magic weapon in the direction of Tianyao Village.
Xiao Ding drove Xu Guangyao straight to Linhai City.
Linhai City is right on the seaside. It's not far from where Xiao Ding and others landed.
In less than an hour, Xiao and Ding arrived outside Linhai City.
Flying was still prohibited in the city, so Xiao Ding had no choice but to lower the Flying Cloud Shuttle, put it away, and walked into the city with Xu Guangyao.
There are many people queuing up at the gate of Linhai City to enter the city. Most of them are foundation-building monks from Huaxuanzhou who have just returned from the secret realm of Lingtai Island.
Everyone has only one purpose in entering Linhai City, and that is to use the intercontinental teleportation array in the city to return to Huaxuan Continent.
Xiao Ding and Xu Guangyao finally entered Linhai City after waiting in line for more than an hour.
However, the streets in the city are also full of people. People on the street are walking shoulder to shoulder, one after another. Even if you want to walk fast, you can't walk fast.
But fortunately, these people on the street are basically going in the same direction.
Xiao Ding and the two walked forward with the flow of people for about an hour, and the crowd finally came to a hill on the east side of Linhai City.
Xiao Ding took a look at the hill. It was not high at all, only about ten feet high. It looks a bit like it was piled up artificially.
The crowd around the hill was also densely packed.
There is only one stone path leading to the top of the mountain. It was already full of people. It seems that the people waiting in line to use the teleportation array have reached the foot of the mountain.
Xu Guangyao pointed to the top of the hill, turned back and said to Xiao Ding: "On the top of this hill is the intercontinental teleportation array. The people lining up here should be those who plan to use this teleportation array to return to Huaxuanzhou."
Xiao Ding also vaguely saw colorful light pillars that seemed to be shining on the top of the mountain. It was very similar to the teleportation array light pillar he had seen in the Secret Chinese Medicine Garden before.
Now that he knows the specific location of the intercontinental teleportation array, Xiao Ding no longer plans to wait here. After all, I don't have enough spirit stones. If I wait here, I won't be able to go to Hua Xuanzhou with Xu Guangyao.
So, Xiao Ding said: "Brother Xu, are you going to wait in line here today? How about staying in Linhai City for one night and leaving tomorrow?"
Xu Guangyao shook his head and said: "No, since we are already here today, let's wait in line first. I believe there will be many people here tomorrow. I estimate that before it gets dark today, I should be able to wait in line. It’s the number one. Brother Tian, thank you for taking care of me these days. When you collect enough spirit stones to go to Huaxuanzhou, you must think of coming to Zhujian Villa to find me."
Xiao Ding nodded in agreement and said, "Don't worry, it will happen. Just don't bother me when the time comes."
Xu Guangyao smiled and said: "How come? It's my honor for Brother Tian to come to see me. I will treat Brother Tian like a distinguished guest. Brother Tian, it's already late today. I can just line up here alone." Brother Tian should find a place to rest first."
Xiao Ding also had this intention. He borrowed the donkey from the slope and said: "Then I won't be polite to you. You can wait here slowly for now. I'll go find an inn to rest. When I earn enough spiritual stones, I will go to Huaxuanzhou to find you."
The two of them hugged each other and said goodbye, and then Xiao Ding turned around and walked towards the back.
There were still a lot of people behind. Xiao Ding was walking in the opposite direction. There were too many people coming towards him, making it very difficult for him to walk.
So, Xiao Ding immediately let go of his consciousness and explored the nearby streets to see which streets had fewer people.
Soon, he discovered that the streets near the hill to the east of the city were all filled with dense crowds.
The nearest less crowded street to him requires crossing four or five streets.
There was no other way. Xiao Ding had to change direction when he reached an intersection.
After a lot of effort, Xiao Ding finally got out of the crowd and came to a street with fewer pedestrians.
Seeing that it was getting late, he found a random inn on the street, went to have some dinner, and then returned to the room he had booked.
He felt a little tired from running around for the past few days. Since entering the secret realm of Lingtai Island, he has not had a good rest. Either fighting people or monsters in a secret realm, or on the way. Therefore, as soon as he lay down on the bed, he felt sleepy.
Xiao Ding had no control and allowed himself to fall asleep.
He slept until about three o'clock in the morning.
When he woke up, he realized that he had slept with his clothes on last night and hadn't even taken off his boots.
Thinking that Xu Guangyao should have gone to the teleportation array last night and returned to Huaxuanzhou. I felt a little depressed. He would never have thought that using an intercontinental teleportation array would require so many spiritual stones.
It seems that if he wants to go to Huaxuanzhou, he will need to live in this seaside city for a while. He temporarily planned to wait in the city while refining elixirs and selling them to earn spiritual stones.
He was still thinking in his mind, should he refine some foundation-building pills in large quantities?
On Fengluan Continent, Foundation Establishment Pill is considered the most sought-after pill. After all, there are a huge number of Qi-training disciples on Fengluan Continent. If more foundation-building pills are refined, there will be a huge market.
Thinking of the huge gap in spiritual stones he needed, Xiao Ding frowned. He felt that it was necessary for him to enter the Qiankun Pot and sort out all the gains he had made in the secret realm of Lingtai Island.
So, instead of going to have breakfast, he entered the Qiankun Pot with a thought.
When the Eight Trigrams Spirit saw Xiao Ding coming back, he came forward to flatter him again.
Xiao Ding and the Bagua Weapon Spirit sorted out what they had gained in the secret realm of Lingtai Island.
Overall, it was quite rewarding.
Among them: a white multicolored sacred stone with water attributes, which was confirmed by the Bagua Artifact Spirit. A small pool of boundless water from the melted snow in June was also collected, which is one of the main ingredients used to refine the Yang-Returning Pill.
There are also several main medicinal materials for refining golden cherry pills, including Shui Ying Pu, Mu Ying Hua, and Tu Ying Lan, which have been planted in the Qiankun Pot by the Bagua Artifact Spirit.
In addition, he also obtained a large number of common water snakes and kept them in the small lake. Killing a golden feathered goose, harvested a large number of golden feathers, killed a transformed geese, and obtained a large amount of refining materials such as its skin and bones.
In the Lingtai Medicine Garden, he also robbed many other spiritual plants, including calendula splendens, agarwood, Kunyan wood, red-topped maple mushroom, etc. These have naturally been planted by the Bagua Artifact Spirit.
The final harvest was naturally the small section of spirit stone veins, as well as the storage bags and rings from the monks that Xiao Ding killed in the secret realm.
Xiao Ding and Bagua Weapon Spirit took the lead in collecting the low-grade white spirit stones from that small section of spirit stone veins. They collected about 180,000 pieces in total.
Although it seems like a lot, this number is still far behind the billions of white low-grade spiritual stones required for the intercontinental teleportation array.
Next, Xiao Ding started to look at the storage bags he got.
The items in these storage bags are a little more messy. There are all kinds of weapons, elixirs, spiritual plants, skill secrets, magic weapons, spiritual stones, daily necessities, etc.
What Xiao Ding values most at the moment is naturally the spirit stone.
In a total of more than ten storage bags, Xiao Ding collected tens of thousands of low-grade white spiritual stones.
Finally it was the turn of the three or four Na rings. These rings were from the monks who were in the late stages of foundation building that Xiao Ding killed in the secret realm.
What Xiao Ding didn't expect was that he had just opened a Na Ring, and then he saw a small pile of blue spiritual stones stacked in the Na Ring. He used his spiritual consciousness to check the number of blue low-grade spiritual stones in the pile. A total of one hundred thousand yuan.
Then he checked the remaining Na rings one after another, each containing at least 100,000 low-grade blue spiritual stones.
This made Xiao Ding extremely happy. This time, I finally no longer have to worry about not having enough spiritual stones.
