The Way of The Dao

Chapter 895 (Vol 3) – Using The Teleportation Formation! [II]

The building Ling Tian had entered was the establishment where cultivators could communicate with others over a long distance, and Ling Tian had finally gotten a reply from Hao Zhentian and the others! 

"It's been more than 1 month since they arrived at Kong Ye City in the east state, the place where the teleportation formation between the east and south states is located, and a day ago when they communicated they mentioned that they were already halfway through reaching the capital of the east state, Jiaohei City, where the other teleportation platform that communicated between the east and north states was located..." 

Ling Tian muttered faintly, not caring whether Yang Jing was listening or not. 

Apparently everyone was fine according to Hao Zhentian's words, and even Shin Wei had waited for them in the east state and once they arrived they were reunited. Deng Tianjin, along with Xuan Li, Lang Qingzu and the other disciples also managed to catch up with him a few days ago, all gathering together. 

However, a frown appeared on his face right away. 

"Xinya mentioned to me that Yuyin had left the sect a while ago and she went to investigate the supposed birth of a heaven and earth treasure in the southeastern region of the north state..." 

This time, the one who left a message for Ling Tian was Zhang Xinya, mentioning to him what had happened these past few days: once Long Yuyin completely consolidated her cultivation base and healed her wounds, news of a heaven and earth treasure spread rapidly over almost the entire north state. With Ling Tian's current state and the special medicine he required to repair his meridians, Long Yuyin decided to travel to this place to see if she could find any of the necessary materials. 

Ling Tian could not help but smile gratefully at the thought of Long Yuyin, who wanted to help him recover. 

Although there had been no news from Long Yuyin for several days, both Ling Tian and Zhang Xinya and the others knew that Long Yuyin was well. The spiritual connection between all of them was special and mysterious, so they could sense each other's moods, and even sense if they were in trouble despite being far away. 

Ling Tian felt that her connection with Long Yuyin was calm and without any problem, proving that there was no problem with her. Moreover, as long as she did not meet some strong expert at the peak of the great ascension realm, Long Yuyin would have no problems, plus Ling Tian had given each of his wives some special lifesaving methods and items for them to escape or save themselves in certain situations when he was not with them. 

Zhang Xinya also explained to him that the others were fine; Mu Shuiruo was still practicing and concocting alchemy together with Daihang Guan and Yi Jingwen at the Alchemy Association in the city, Tang Wanying was studying and creating formations in the sect with the help of Lu Wuhu, Shan Qingwu and Xue Ning were training together, Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei were apparently at a critical point of refining the Sun and Moon Nascent Swords they obtained, while Lan Yin and Qing Sha were playing in the disciples' residence accompanied by the little white fox. Xuanyuan Ling was with Zhen Bingluo sorting out some sect things, while Nalan Ziqing was cultivating behind closed doors. 

Zhang Xinya had just broken through and she recently came out of seclusion a while ago, reaching and consolidating the great ascension realm middle stage. 

Yun Mengxin, who consolidated her cultivation base at the great ascension realm late stage, along with Gao Xue and Gao Yue had left the sect to go see Long Yuyin, as she had been slow to return, wanting to help her search for the treasure of heaven and earth as well. 

Ling Tian closed his eyes for a moment, feeling the distant connections with his women. Thoughts and feelings seemed to respond to him, as if indicating to them that they were completely fine. Even Long Yuyin was fine and had no problems on her side. 

A faint smile appeared on Ling Tian's face. 

They quickly arrived at the area where the teleportation platform was located. 

In this place there were several guards around, each of them exuding a power at the golden core realm. From here, the importance of the place could be demonstrated. 

"Stop right there!" 

A guard noticed Ling Tian and Yang Jing who had descended from the flying sword, and approached them with a serious expression. 

"You're going to use the teleportation formation?" The guard asked solemnly. He frowned slightly at the sight of Ling Tian's face, feeling that it was somewhat familiar. 

"Yes, what's the cost?" Ling Tian asked casually. 

Although he could use the teleportation formation by himself, Ling Tian decided to pay so as not to attract more trouble. Besides, he was traveling with Yang Jing. 

The time he used the teleportation formation in the Heavenly Sun Continent world with Shin Wei, Xuanyuan Ling and Li Fengyuan to travel to the Heaven Territory where the Feng family was, they were secretly ambushed. If not for Ling Tian's ability to control space, they might have died. 

"It's 10 million low-grade spiritual crystals!" 

After unsuccessfully recalling Ling Tian, the guard replied. 

Ling Tian watched him for a few seconds before throwing a low-level storage ring, which contained exactly 10 million low-grade spiritual crystals. 

The guard was stunned when he noticed Ling Tian's action, stretching out his hand quickly and catching the ring in mid-air. His spirit sense penetrated the storage ring and he could not help but be stunned. 

The guard quickly came to his senses and nodded respectfully to Ling Tian, before turning around and gathering several of his fellow guards. 

For someone to be able to so easily hand over such an amount of spiritual crystals, they would have to be extremely wealthy or have a powerful background. Even the families and forces of the capital could not easily afford such an amount of money. Not everyone could afford to use the teleportation formation, so they had to travel using other means. 

However, Yang Jing's expression finally changed, shocked to hear the terrifying figure. 

10 million spiritual crystals! 

The county where she lived hardly used spiritual crystals, being mostly used spiritual stones to cultivate, buy and sell! 

Spiritual stones have a certain portion of chi spiritual energy inside, and it can help both to cultivate and to buy other objects or treasures: it is the money of the world. 

But it is worth noting that spiritual crystals have more spiritual energy inside, being better than a spiritual stone. 

1 low grade spiritual crystal is equivalent to 10 spirit stones! 

The crystals were divided into low, medium, high and extreme purity grades. As long as a spirit crystal looked more crystalline, translucent and its shape was perfect, it would be a better grade spirit crystal. 

Therefore, Yang Jing was frightened and shocked to see how Ling Tian paid such an amount without frowning; her family, perhaps even all the families in the county where she lived could not so easily gather such a terrifying amount of spiritual crystals in one lifetime. 

If spiritual crystals were converted to spiritual stones, then Ling Tian had paid for 100 million spiritual stones! 

Ling Tian noticed Yang Jing's expression but said nothing. Of all that he had collected, the spiritual crystals were gathered into hundreds of mountains, so a figure of 10 million was a small amount, both for Ling Tian's current wealth and vision. 

In the Immortal World, immortal crystals were used, crystals completely superior to the purest spiritual crystals in the world. Ling Tian even once paid several billion high-grade immortal crystals to obtain a supreme immortal cultivation technique, which he precisely gave to one of his disciples. 

At this moment, Ling Tian took a simple glance at his storage ring, vaguely counting the spiritual crystals inside; a total of several dozen million low-grade spiritual crystals were inside. There were even some small mountains of medium grade spiritual crystals.

It should be noted that 1 medium grade spiritual crystals is equivalent to 100 low grade spiritual crystals! 

A quarter were medium grade spiritual crystals, while the rest were low grade spiritual crystals. 

Ling Tian had a plan to use all these spiritual crystals to repair only his dantian, especially after receiving the mysterious five-colored lotus flower he received from Luo Hongmeng. A theory emerged in a moment, realizing that if he succeeded, then the power he could cultivate and gather in the future would be several times stronger than unlike his past. 

"G-go ahead, s-senior!" 

The guard who had talked to Ling Tian finally came back, but now he looked very nervous when he saw Ling Tian, as if he was talking to his own family elders. His voice even trembled slightly. 

Ling Tia noticed this but said nothing. This man had probably received the news of what he did several days ago. 

What happened to the Guiyan family was well known throughout the city, so it was not strange for this man to behave in such a way. 

Ling Tian and Yang Jing soon stood in the middle of a platform that was more than 30 meters long. 

The teleportation platform was in the center of the capital, so spiritual energy was gathered in this place. Runes, symbols and patterns of formations were marked all over the platform area, mingling with each other as spiritual energy flowed imperceptibly. 

Just over 10 guards quickly surrounded the platform and stood beside what appeared to be some small platforms. They waved their hand and hundreds and thousands of spiritual crystals were deposited into the interior spaces of these small platforms. 

The runes and symbols glowed mysteriously several seconds later, causing the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual crystals to be sucked out rapidly. 

 "Looks like they enhanced the capacity to use the teleportation formation..." Ling Tian observed the changes on the platform they were on, noticing several things and recalling a bit of the past. 

Although he had not used the teleportation formation in the past, Ling Tian, Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei had heard that before, the teleportation formation that existed in the ancient capital, Rongrou City, required the use of over 20 million low-grade spiritual crystals per use. 

Now, the runes and symbols on the platform confirmed Ling Tian's thoughts. These formations were improved and, although it still asked for a considerable high amount of spiritual crystals, especially if they were poor cultivators, the teleportation formation had been improved on several levels and less spiritual energy was needed apparently. 

Ling Tian saw that nearly 8 million spiritual crystals were deposited around the platform, so the remaining one was used as a quota to use the formation. 

The space wobbled slightly, a gentle spiritual energy enveloped both Ling Tian and Yang Jing. 

Yang Jing couldn't help but feel afraid, with a lot of nerves seeing what was happening. It was the first time she would be using the legendary and powerful teleportation formation. 

Then, a hand landed on her shoulder, stunning Yang Jing as she noticed Ling Tian nodding slightly at her. Yang Jing couldn't help but swallow hard, and finally she shakily reached out her hand and grabbed part of Ling Tian's shirt, before closing her eyes as she tried to calm herself down. 

Ling Tian enveloped Yang Jing with the might of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures, protecting her for any danger. He did not remove his hand from her shoulder. 

The platform finally reached its peak of illumination, when the next moment space shook briefly and the figures of Ling Tian and Yang Jing disappeared.
