Setting Up a Teleportation Array
To obtain this Golden-Core Formation Pill, Xu Ganyang even mortgaged a significant portion of his family's profits in the Chu Kingdom to the Chen Clan, borrowing a large sum of Spirit Stone from the Chen Clan.
After the two families purchased both Golden-Core Formation Pill, Yan Ziji came to find them personally.
After arriving at Azure Sun Mountain and obtaining the Golden-Core Formation Pill, she said with a delighted expression, "Your Alchemy Art are truly remarkable; your progress has exceeded all expectations."
"Practice makes perfect."
The three of them took their seats in the main hall, and Jiang Linglong spoke calmly.
After she finished speaking, she exchanged a glance with Chen Nianzhi and said, "We want to use this Golden-Core Formation Pill to exchange for some refining materials."
"Mystic Iron?"
Yan Ziji's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
Chen Nianzhi handed over a list, which she glanced at before saying, "You need to refine Teleportation Array."
"Um."
The two nodded. To set up Teleportation Array, three conditions needed to be met.
The first requirement is Spirit Vein of the Tier 4 or higher. Without Spirit Vein of the Tier 4 or higher to provide Spiritual Qi, the Teleportation Array simply cannot operate.
Secondly, it requires Tier 4 Formation. If the array master's skill level is insufficient, it is impossible to set up Teleportation Array of this level.
Thirdly, there is the Teleportation Array Disk. With the crucial Teleportation Array Disk, the Teleportation Array can break through space and instantly complete a teleportation spanning millions of miles.
The most crucial component of the Teleportation Array Disk is the Void Gemstone; without it, teleportation is impossible.
Besides the Void Gemstone, a large amount of crafting materials are also needed to forge the Teleportation Array Disk.
These materials are not of high grade; they are all Tier 2 heavenly materials and earthly treasures such as Mystic Iron, but the required quantity is enormous.
Taking only the most used Mystic Iron as an example, a full thousand portions would be needed. At a price of six hundred Spirit Stone per Mystic Iron, this would amount to a cost of six hundred thousand Spirit Stone.
All things considered, the cost of a single array plate is as high as one million Spirit Stone, and with the addition of the Void Gemstone, it totals a full three million Spirit Stone.
A Teleportation Array requires at least two array plates to operate, which costs as much as six million Spirit Stone.
This doesn't even include the cost of the Tier 4 Spirit Mountain and the involvement of Artifact Refiner masters. Such a high cost would make even Golden Core Immortal Clan frown.
However, as a strategic weapon, the Teleportation Array certainly deserves such a huge investment.
Once these Teleportation Array arrays are completed, the Heavenly Ruins Alliance will be able to forge several Tier 4 Spirit Vein into a single, unbreakable wall. Any enemy attempting to attack any Spirit Mountain will have to face the overwhelming majority of the Heavenly Ruins Alliance's high-level forces.
Only in this way can the Heavenly Ruins Alliance maintain its control over the Spirit Vein and resources of several continents for an extended period.
Because the materials needed to refine the Mystic Iron plate were too numerous, even the four states under the Heavenly Ruins Alliance could not gather enough materials in a short time, Jiang Linglong wanted to exchange the Golden-Core Formation Pill for the materials needed for the Teleportation Array Disk.
Yan Ziji carefully examined the list, then nodded and said, "There are quite a few of these supplies; I'll need six months to prepare them."
"Can."
Jiang Linglong nodded, and the deal was finalized.
After he left, Jiang Linglong and Chen Nianzhi began to refine the Teleportation Array Disk.
The Heavenly Ruins Alliance has been preparing for several years to forge Teleportation Array, collecting a considerable amount of materials such as Mystic Iron, which is now sufficient to forge an array plate.
This large array plate is ten zhang in size and is made by melting down thousands of refining materials. It consumes a lot of materials and takes a long time to refine.
The two mobilized more than a dozen third-tier Artifact Refiner from the Heavenly Ruins Alliance to assist in smelting materials to refine this array plate. They worked for more than half a year before the array plate was finally completed.
Then Jiang Linglong incorporated the Void Gemstone into it and burned intricate array patterns, thus setting up the array.
After the materials from the Purple Abyss Sect arrived, it took more than a year of piecing them together to finally refine the three array plates.
Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong traveled nearly a million miles to set up two Teleportation Array arrays at Azure Sun Mountain and Heavenly Ruins Lake, finally completing the Teleportation Array.
"Finally, it's done."
Heavenly Ruins Province, Heavenly Ruins Lake.
Chen Nianzhi looked at the Teleportation Array in front of her and couldn't help but show a look of joy.
The Teleportation Array they created could travel up to three million miles, and each Teleportation Array could connect to three other Teleportation Array.
Currently, only Heavenly Ruins Lake and Azure Sun Mountain are connected to each other, but once the array plate is set up at Spirit Isle Lake, the three Teleportation Array will be able to teleport to each other.
Moreover, this Teleportation Array can transport nine cultivators at a time, and with the energy of Tier 4 Spirit Vein, it can be used three times in a single day.
In other words, it can teleport 27 high-level experts in a short period of time, which is enough to completely change the course of the battle at a critical moment.
Jiang Linglong smiled slightly and said, "This formation consumes a lot of Spiritual Qi. The first ten times it is activated within a month, it consumes the spiritual Spiritual Qi overflowing from the Spirit Vein, and it doesn't have much impact on the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Vein."
"After ten times, the Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Vein will be depleted. At that point, each teleportation will require 10,000 Spirit Stone to replenish the Spirit Pool."
"Moreover, only cultivators at the Foundation Establishment or above can withstand the energy of the Teleportation Array. If Qi Refining Cultivator were to use the Teleportation Array, their physical body would probably be shattered and they would die."
Several members of the Heavenly Ruins Alliance Purple Mansion nodded in agreement. Given the Spiritual Qi energy consumption of Teleportation Array, teleporting Qi Refining Cultivator would be a losing proposition.
According to the decision Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong had agreed upon, strict rules and regulations would be in place for using the Teleportation Array in the future.
Unless it's an emergency, even Foundation Establishment cultivators who want to use Teleportation Array must apply in advance and pay a sum of Spirit Stone, and they need to gather nine people before they can use it.
Only cultivators at the Purple Mansion level within the Heavenly Ruins Alliance can apply to use the Teleportation Array at any time.
Although there are some limitations to using Teleportation Array, the ability to instantly traverse millions of miles, saving time and danger in crossing vast territories, makes it a decent option.
Mentioning the limitations of Teleportation Array, Chen Nianzhi frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Teleportation Array are only suitable for mid-to-high-level cultivators; Qi Refining Cultivator still have to travel on foot."
"Our Heavenly Ruins Alliance's territory is now very vast, especially Heavenly Ruins Province, which still needs a lot of manpower to develop. If Qi Refining Cultivator were to walk there, it would take many years."
Everyone frowned upon hearing this. Including Heavenly Ruins Province, the Heavenly Ruins Alliance had already occupied nearly a million miles of land.
This region is too vast for low-level cultivators, especially since a large number of Demon Beast beasts still remain in Heavenly Ruins Province, making it quite dangerous for Qi Refining Cultivator to traverse.
However, this is an undeveloped treasure trove, with numerous Spirit Mountain and hidden Earth Vein and mineral veins, all of which require a large workforce to develop.
Without a hundred or two hundred years of transformation, it would be impossible for mortals to survive here, so it is necessary to transfer cultivators from the Azure Sun Border Three Provinces.
