The communication device was exquisitely crafted. After studying it for a while, Tang Yan suddenly looked up and asked, "Elder Xiang, have you ever considered a similar kind of magic treasure?
"They could connect to one another.
"Even ten thousand li apart, they could connect instantly and let people talk!"
Xiang Xiaoyu was rather surprised. She had not expected Tang Yan to suggest such an idea. With a wry smile, she said, "I have, but it isn't practical.
"There are many difficulties.
"Establishing a connection across ten thousand li requires vast quantities of high-grade materials and spirit power. The equipment would also be enormous and easily exposed, so it wouldn't be very practical.
"Communication between multiple parties would be especially complicated to establish."
Tang Yan suggested, "Elder, you could build more large signal stations across the continent.
"One signal station could cover a vast area.
"The signal stations could connect to one another, forming bridges for information.
"That way, even across ten thousand li, they could relay signals from station to station and connect to the other party.
"As long as there are enough signal stations, all communication devices could connect freely."
Xiang Xiaoyu's heart gave a sudden thump.
She had considered the idea of a Ten-Thousand-Li Communication Device, but had soon abandoned it because of the numerous difficulties, without thinking any deeper.
Tang Yan's proposal offered a way forward.
After some thought, Xiang Xiaoyu shook her head again. "The costs would be enormous, not just for construction, but for subsequent maintenance too.
"Even emptying Artifact Forest's coffers might not be enough to build it and keep it running."
Tang Yan explained patiently, "High investment brings high returns.
"Once a magic treasure capable of communication across ten thousand li appears, it will inevitably become all the rage in the Spirit
