"Hello! Welcome to Dwarf City! The transmission fee for this trip is 300 medium-grade spirit stones!"
The starlight transmission array flickered with a dazzling light. Liu Lanxing watched as a man with jet-black hair and a seductive woman stepped out from the teleportation formation. Remember this moment in an instant.
In the presence of Yang Tian and Blackstone Star's overseer, the atmosphere was now filled with Yang Tian's commanding aura.
In addition, a stern-looking man serving as the supervisor of the teleportation array was in charge of collecting the transportation fee due to Liu Lanxing's sudden arrival.
The so-called transmission fee was essentially the cost of using the teleportation system.
No matter where your starting point and destination were, the customary incense wood payment was mandatory, much like earthly tolls. This was the variable price to traverse the dimensional channels!
Of course, the Red Equator practitioners had already informed Yang Chuan before departing.
Yang Chuan's possession of the Red City Immortal was precisely due to this reason.
To put it simply, Fu Qingming and Chi Lian Fairy had a better understanding of other stars compared to Blackstone Star itself.
Consequently, Yang Chuan flipped his palm, tossing the spirit stones directly into the man's hand.
The man had been astonished at the arrival of Yang Chuan and Liu Lanxing.
A single teleportation required three hundred-grade spirit stones. Ordinary cultivators could hardly afford such luxury.
Guarding this seemingly dormant teleportation array for years, he had rarely seen anyone actually make use of it!
But now, Yang Chuan didn't blink an eye and simply paid the fee—effortlessly, with the calm demeanor of a noble.
This ignited the man's thoughts; his first reaction was that the duo was undoubtedly extravagant elites, particularly Yang Chuan, who exuded an aura of authority far beyond expectations!
Upon realizing this, the man's attitude underwent a dramatic shift. He swiftly tucked away the payment, and with respectful haste, he turned to Yang Chuan and asked, "Lord, are you unaware of what Liu Lanxing intends to do? I am merely the supervisor of the White Sand Barrel. Whatever needs you may have, I will gladly assist."
"My master is here on an important quest—to seek a rare and unparalleled treasure. If any opportunity arises, I will move forward as instructed."
These two gentlemen were addressed as such not without reason, emphasizing their status worthy of reverence.
Evidently, even the man's demeanor underwent a subtle transformation to accommodate their elevated standing.
If the presumptuous host at Shicheng were to learn of their purpose, they would likely scramble like handmaidens to avoid provoking the wrath of such youthful cultivators as Yang Chuan.
As the supervisor encountered the Red Zen practitioner, Yang Chuan merely clasped his hands without uttering a word, leaving the man even more certain of his earlier judgment. He immediately declared, "If this esteemed lord truly seeks such treasures, our prospects will surely change! In our Zhulan City, the 'Progress Constitution' is renowned throughout Ma Realm."
"Indeed, the Progress Constitution is not merely a set of laws but the cornerstone of the endeavor—a feat that began with the master-level refining array of Liangtai Company and fostered its disciples therein. Mr. Yuan and Yuan himself have made strides in broadcasting its glory to all. Their efforts echo here at Lian Di, capable of creating artifacts of eternal use."
"Something that can endure a lifetime?"
Hearing this remark, Yang Chuan remained indifferent.
However, the Red Fairy immediately displayed an ironic smirk, devoid of interest.
"Because Ambassador Lu Wuxuan had attempted this before, she scoffed at the concept, considering its novelty insufficient to impress her lineage, especially not Master Refining competitions!"
Nevertheless, though Lu Wuxuan might be an esteemed emissary, Yang Chuan's purpose lay far beyond mere refinement.
A master of Yan Qi Sect once remarked, "Even in the presence of Yang Chuan, those prominent figures remain but teachers at best."
The disciples of Lu Da lack even the qualifications to petition for Yan Tian's refining machine.
This subtle disparity in experience, illustrated across their youthful faces, was not missed by Yang Chuan, whose expression darkened upon witnessing it.
Looking at the supervisor, his countenance suddenly shifted; the prior enthusiasm drained, leaving only ambiguity. "A smile? What is the meaning of this?"
"Meaning?!"
The faction leaders were apparently displeased, asserting that Yang Chuan dominating the scene was merely the beginning.
So many vibrant prospects seemed to align—ants and ambitious stars alike dared inquire about deeper matters directly linked to Yang Chuan's arrival within Ma Xi Realm.
For someone unable to tolerate mediocrity, how would this resolve?
"What is the meaning of this? Lady Li Fangyuan once said, during the wondrous epoch of youth, their qualifications were in question. Servants striving to approach their masters were deemed inadequate. Bare-handed pioneers ridiculed the training attempts as naive and cold-hearted," she sneered.
"You…"
The man's previous discretion crumbled, as his overt allegiance to the Progress Constitution cast doubt on his fairness.
It became evident that this supposed supervisor had ties to Progress Constitution—a realm closely related to Li Fangyuan, John Fangyuan, and their master-level refining emblem. The hostility was palpable.
His immediate anger erupted like thunder.
But the man didn't wait.
"Master… Shall we now proceed to Chen Baoxian's territory or beyond?"
Departing Songtian Town together, Yang Chuan was joined again by his companion despite anxieties expressed by certain faction leaders.
The evident connection between the man and Progress Constitution's faction left concerns lingering. Nonetheless, Yang Chuan had already noticed.
Still, that man was merely a Ma Realm-level mighty figure, daring to challenge her dominion over Blackstone Star? If Yang Chuan hadn't stopped him earlier, Chi Fairy might have killed him on the spot instead.
Thus, Chi Fairy disdained the man's suggestion of their next destination.
But Yang Chuan calmly asserted, "I know Tao Ti Valley should be sought from this Liulan City, yet given the breadth of the city, finding it is akin to searching for a needle in a haystack. So no matter where, our direction remains the same. 'The Progress Constitution' happens to align with my quest for Taotie's skeletal remains."
Upon hearing this, Chi Fairy reluctantly nodded her agreement.
Under Blackstone Star's governance, her view of this pursuit had grown increasingly pragmatic.
But even when knowing a fragment, certainty escaped her grasp.
The question arose after Liu Xingxing's rumored capture at Taoti Island years ago—whether the reports held truth was unclear.
Facing this enigma, she proposed, "Young Master, why wouldn't you personally seek assistance from our familial house? Considering the aid offered during the auction, obtaining help for this endeavor would save considerable effort."
"Searching for the familial house?"
Yang Chuan heard but responded with a nonchalant smile.
Truthfully, it wasn't that he disliked seeking familial ties, but his approach suggested private matters akin to courting an admirer.
Liulan City's inherited roots stemmed from wandering sovereign clans; aiding Yang Chuan's quest for Taotie's remains might prove conveniently aligned.
"But where are we really?"
"Here in Ma Xi Realm—the epitome of survival 'weak devoured by stronger' ideology!"
"Not a charitable domain, to say the least."
Yangchuan District was where his earlier auction win solidified his reputation: No familial entities exhaust themselves offering their prosperity unless, through stone-bidding fervor, one insisted doggedly alongside vigilant heartstring pledges across depths of ultimate Tao Ti artifacts recovery rituals."
If Taotie's relics lay beyond ancient mottled fragments overlooked consistently upon interstitial rivalries, persistence outweighs impulse.
The essence advises against blanket innocence—echoing truths since universally reiterated worldly missive highlights concerning feeble—offset demonstration consist recognitively poised beside Red Fairy various prospective indicative sorceress thrives depend subsequent core contemplative."`
