"Transmission array? What is that?" Chu Ninghai looked puzzled.
Su Han slapped his forehead: "That's right, you haven't even heard of array formations, let alone a transmission array."
"Hmph, as if you know everything." Yun Qianqian said with a pout.
She had a poor impression of Su Han from the start, and seeing him dawdling, she naturally lost her patience.
"At least I know more than you." Su Han glanced at Yun Qianqian.
"You!"
Just as Yun Qianqian was about to speak, Chu Ninghai said: "Young Master Su Han, please explain first. What exactly is this transmission array?"
"The super-strong on the Dragon Martial Continent can move extremely fast, which you should know."
Su Han explained: "Not to mention those in the Dragon Emperor or Dragon Venerable realms, even those in the Dragon Core realm can cover several miles in a single step, effectively compressing the distance, similar to teleportation."
"Yes, those in the Dragon Core realm can already control a bit of the power of heaven and earth, indeed breaking through some spatial barriers to cover several miles in a single step." Chu Ninghai nodded.
"But, they can only do this for themselves!"
Su Han said: "If they carry others, their speed will greatly decrease, and the more people they carry, the slower they become."
"Hmm." Chu Ninghai nodded again, not knowing what Su Han was getting at.
"The transmission array can achieve teleportation for anyone, without any cultivation restrictions." Su Han finally revealed the function of the transmission array.
He was a bit helpless; in his previous life, the transmission array was just an extremely ordinary array formation. Any array formation master could set up a transmission array, though the strength of the array varied based on their expertise.
"What?!"
This mundane matter for Su Han was extremely shocking to Chu Ninghai and Yun Qianqian.
"Even those in the Dragon Vein realm can teleport?" Chu Ninghai exclaimed in surprise.
"Even those who cannot cultivate can." Su Han nodded.
"You're lying!"
Yun Qianqian said: "The teleportation of the strong is due to their mastery of the power of heaven and earth. How can those in the Dragon Vein realm, or those who cannot cultivate, possibly teleport?"
"Calling it teleportation is just giving them credit. Do you know what true teleportation is?"
Su Han looked at Yun Qianqian, his eyes gleaming: "True teleportation is a thought that directly shatters the void, covering millions of miles in an instant!"
"You don't have that kind of cultivation, how would you know?" Yun Qianqian was不服气 (unconvinced).
"That's none of your business."
Su Han shook his head and then said: "However, the transmission array has its drawbacks. It requires spirit stones to maintain, and most transmission arrays cannot move freely like the strong. They can only be fixed between two points for back-and-forth transmission."
"So, there are transmission arrays that can move freely?" Chu Ninghai asked.
"Of course, but you shouldn't think about it for now. The materials required for such a transmission array are astonishing, even the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion would feel the pinch." Su Han said calmly.
Yun Qianqian lifted her head: "Do you know how wealthy the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion is? There's nothing on the Dragon Martial Continent that we can't afford."
"You're really impressive." Su Han clicked his tongue in admiration, clearly not sincere.
The wealth of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion?
If placed in Su Han's previous life, he could take out one thing that would be worth the entire wealth of the Dragon Martial Continent, let alone the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
"Let's do this."
Su Han continued: "I'll exchange the Purple Gold Dragon Skill for twenty low-grade spirit stones."
After saying this, Su Han stood up, seemingly waiting for Chu Ninghai to hand over the spirit stones before leaving.
"Don't be in a hurry!"
Chu Ninghai was anxious. As the head of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in Yuan Mountain County, he naturally had some business acumen. A quick thought revealed how much money the transmission array could earn him.
"Let's discuss the transmission array further." Chu Ninghai said.
"Discuss?"
Su Han glanced at Chu Ninghai: "The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion helps me three times, and I will help you build three transmission arrays. The materials need to be prepared by you, and my cultivation is limited, so I can only build arrays within the entire Yuan Mountain County for now."
"Wouldn't the spirit stones required for the operation of the transmission array be quite a lot? How many spirit stones are needed for a single transmission?" Chu Ninghai asked pointedly.
"For operation, only one low-grade spirit stone per month is needed, as Yuan Mountain County isn't too large. However, the materials required to build the transmission array are quite precious, but the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion can easily provide them. As for transmission, one low-grade spirit stone is enough to transmit a million people." Su Han said.
"One low-grade spirit stone is worth a million gold coins, yet it can transmit a million people. If we charge ten gold coins per person, that's... ten million, a tenfold profit!"
Chu Ninghai's eyes lit up. The floating population of the entire Yuan Mountain County, even at its lowest, is over a million, and ten gold coins is not much for cultivators.
In short, would a cultivator willing to go somewhere prefer to spend several days traveling or spend 10 gold coins to instantly arrive? What if there's an emergency?
The answer is obvious.
"Wait a moment."
Chu Ninghai left the room.
After half an hour, Chu Ninghai finally returned: "Young Master Su Han, the higher-ups have agreed. As long as you can help build three transmission arrays, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion will help you three times."
"Alright."
Su Han directly listed a checklist and handed it to Chu Ninghai: "This is the list of materials needed to build the transmission array. Once you have these materials ready, come to the Xiao family to find me."
"Space Spirit Wood, ten medium-grade spirit stones, one space stone..."
Chu Ninghai read the items on the list, his face twitching: "The value of these items is at least a hundred million gold coins, and that's just for one transmission array."
"For the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, it shouldn't be difficult, and the profits to be earned in the future, I'm sure you can imagine." Su Han smiled.
"Alright!"
Chu Ninghai took a deep breath, handed Su Han the twenty low-grade spirit stones, and also gave him an invitation.
"This is the invitation to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's auction in three months. The invitation will light up when the auction is about to start."
"Thank you."
Su Han didn't hesitate, took the spirit stones, and left the room.
"Move out of the way!"
As he reached the hall, a shout rang in his ears.
Su Han looked up and saw a large group of people walking in, emitting powerful auras. Anyone blocking their path was rudely pushed aside, extremely domineering.
In the center of the group was a young man in a luxurious robe, clearly a noble's son.
On either side of him were two young men, bowing and scraping, their faces full of flattery and sycophancy.
"Is it them?"
Su Han narrowed his eyes, a smile forming on his lips.
