The next day, Yang Bolin visited as promised.

As soon as the two met, before Yang Bolin could speak, Ma Ning threw a bombshell at him:

"Shopkeeper Yang, I contacted the headquarters yesterday, and today you can send someone to Chixian City to pick up the goods."

Upon hearing this, Yang Bolin was so surprised that he forgot to greet him, suddenly stunned on the spot.

After a while, he blinked a few times and asked in disbelief:

"Shopkeeper Ma, are you saying... you can contact your commerce association's headquarters on the other side of the Celestial Moon Mountain Range from Ziqiong City?"

Ma Ning nodded slightly, smiling:

"That's right, our commerce association has some special methods to transmit some messages across thousands of miles.

At this time, Shopkeeper Yang only needs to send someone to Chixian City to verify; I estimate the headquarters has already started shipping."

Yang Bolin opened his mouth, his lips moved a few times, but he did not speak.

The distance between Ziqiong City and Chixian City is nearly two thousand miles, and even more so with the Celestial Moon Mountain Range, exceeding three thousand miles.

Even if Ma Ning was hiding some situations about the Taoshu Commerce Association, such as having a warehouse on this side of the mountain, at least the contact with Chixian City should be true.

Otherwise, this kind of lie could be easily uncovered by sending a steward, especially since the first round of trade does not require a deposit, so such a lie wouldn't benefit the Taoshu Commerce Association.

Since it's likely true.

Then the question arises:

How did Ma Ning transmit the message to Chixian City?

Communication methods in the Damo Realm are actually quite singular; low-level message transmission relies on manpower or beast power.

For instance, there's a demon beast in the Damo Realm called the Black Cyan Eagle, which, after being domesticated, can handle relatively long-distance deliveries.

But this so-called long distance is only about eighty to one hundred kilometers; some well-built Black Cyan Eagles can only fly at most one hundred fifty to two hundred kilometers.

To transmit a message over two thousand miles, some high-level means must be used.

Less common methods include the flying swords of Nascent Soul Great Cultivators, as the personal flying swords crafted by Sword Cultivators in the Mid-stage Nascent Soul can indeed fly thousands of miles.

More common methods include carrying a small teleportation array with you, or possessing a Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talisman.

The cost of the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talisman is relatively lower than the former, and since it can be reused, it is also more common.

But no matter how low the cost, the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talisman is ultimately a Tier Four talisman!

Yes, it corresponds to the Nascent Soul Realm's Tier Four talisman.

Ziqiong City only has four Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talismans, left by the previous generation Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Although the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talisman can be reused,

Due to the great consumption each activation incurs, it's basically used for emergencies.

Such as when there's a large beast tide somewhere, or when a treasure appears in a certain area, or even when unexpected changes occur in a demon lair.

The steward of the Flying Ship learned about the rise in demon beast material prices through such a talisman to contact the Purple Treasure Pavilion, leading to its subsequent plans.

As for other transmission methods....

Suddenly.

Yang Bolin recalled a scene he had seen before:

It was before he had any dealings with the Taoshu Commerce Association when Wang Qiang pressed something against her ear as if receiving some order, her attitude shifting from hesitation to decisiveness.

As a Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Yang Bolin's own divine sense could perceive some surrounding situations, like other people's conversations or investigating certain situations.

But divine sense, like a skill in a game that continually consumes mana, drains a lot of spiritual energy when unleashed.

So cultivators generally don't actively release their divine sense to probe others when safe, only setting up some methods around them to prevent probing at most.

But not releasing is one thing, sensing the divine sense of others is another.

Yang Bolin could guarantee with his costly, meticulously crafted Tier Three underwear that there was absolutely no fluctuation of spiritual energy or divine sense around Wang Qiang at that time!

At the time, Yang Bolin was just slightly curious about it and didn't think much about it.

But combined with what Ma Ning just said....

Some things deserve closer attention.

Perhaps the Taoshu Commerce Association has some unique but long-distance message transmission methods!

If that is true, the status of the Taoshu Commerce Association in Yang Bolin's eyes will once again rise significantly.

Meanwhile, besides seeing the more mysterious side of the rabbits, Yang Bolin

Also saw the rabbits showing more sincerity than before.

Using the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talisman as an example.

Even though the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talisman has no limit on the number of uses, its cost for transmitting a message is at least a thousand Spirit Stones per activation.

For the distance from Ziqiong City to Chixian City, activating one such talisman will cost at least two thousand Spirit Stones.

If it's the far side of the Celestial Moon Mountain Range, at least three thousand five hundred Spirit Stones are needed to break through the barrier.

The Taoshu Commerce Association's communication methods might be something Yang Bolin has never seen before.

But as with the previous evaluation of the Happy Rod,

In the Damo Realm, to achieve a certain effect, the specific methods may vary, but the costs will not differ much.

If Yang Bolin has judged correctly, the cost for the rabbits in this communication must be at least two thousand Spirit Stones.

He dares to bet his elder brother, Yang Family's Patriarch Yang Wanli's Tier Three pink underwear on it!

According to Yang Bolin's initial estimates, in the orders of the Purple Treasure Pavilion, only that batch of 56 Type automatic collective shooting talismans would yield some profit.

Roughly over two thousand Spirit Stones, without much deviation.

In the entire trade valued at over sixty thousand Spirit Stones, Taoshu Commerce Association's profit would at most be four thousand Spirit Stones, and possibly as low as three thousand.

These are the cost rules set by the Damo Realm, the deviation in thousands wouldn't be much.

So...

Taoshu Commerce Association likely, out of the importance attached to the first batch transaction between both parties and to further expand the market, very decisively sacrificed part of their profit to accelerate the dispatch of goods, showing more sincerity.

Thinking of this, a touch of emotion appeared in Yang Bolin's eyes:

"Shopkeeper Ma, your commerce association is indeed thoughtful."

Ma Ning looked at the Purple Treasure Pavilion's Chief Shopkeeper, who wore a face that said, 'You guys are really something,' and blinked blankly: "?"

The truth is, mentioning that he could send people to retrieve goods was mainly to remind him to quickly go to Chixian City to get supplies.

This way the rabbits could receive the payment faster, and it might accelerate the signing of the second phase of agreements between the two parties.

But Yang Bolin seemed to have overanalyzed it?

In any case, this couldn't really be blamed on Ma Ning. Or let's say, it couldn't be blamed on what the advisory group behind the commerce association told him to do.

After all, the rabbits might not be aware of much about the communication situation in the Damo Realm, and the information that the Wei Mansion could provide in this regard was also quite limited.

However, these operations, which seemed quite ordinary to the rabbits, began to seem somewhat accidentally fortunate for facilitating certain good things?

Ma Ning secretly noted this detail in his mind, then lightly cleared his throat to appear as normal as possible before handing a list to Yang Bolin:

"?"

Actually, Shopkeeper Yang seemed a bit confused.

He looked down at the material list in his hand, his eyebrows lifted in surprise:

"Your side seems to be buying quite a lot of things this time..."

He saw the list in his hand, filled with all sorts of supplies, a good two or three pages long.

Among them, there were various talismans of the second and third tier, with prices ranging from a few Spirit Stones to over a thousand Spirit Stones for the more expensive ones.

The most expensive Tier Three Sword Qi Talisman had a price as high as four thousand Spirit Stones.

Just in the talisman category alone, the Taoshu Commerce Association had spent no less than sixty thousand Spirit Stones.

Additionally, there were large quantities of pills, primarily basic materials like Spirit Awakening Pills and Body Protection Talismans.

Also, there were numerous basic pill recipes, along with a few less common and valuable materials.

Altogether, the transaction amounted to more than eighty thousand Spirit Stones!
