Familiar Style

The materials here were sold by weight.

Yan Yun quickly found the materials she needed, such as the Void Stones used for building teleportation arrays.

This item cost about one million spirit stones per jin, but one jin was enough to set up teleportation arrays throughout the sect.

However, the teleportation arrays Yan Yun wanted to set up were not just within the sect.

For example, an escape array.

When the Poison Sect encountered an irresistible threat, they could activate a long-distance teleportation array to escape.

Bai Zhihua had told her that the farther the teleportation array, the more Void Stones were needed.

Theoretically, with enough Void Stones, she could set up a teleportation array to any corner of the Tianchen Continent.

One jin was certainly not enough.

Then there were the materials for the sect-protecting grand array.

After looking around, Yan Yun chose to go directly to the person in charge of this place.

Soon, a woman in a golden dress came to her.

“Is this the guest who needs a large quantity of rare materials?” the woman looked at Yan Yun with a slight smile.

Yan Yun immediately handed her the list.

“The quantity is large, this is the list, see if you can gather it all.”

The person in charge immediately took the list and glanced at it.

After scanning it, she asked thoughtfully, “Esteemed guest, you must be building a sect, right?”

“Such a large quantity is not needed by ordinary people.”

“Only for building a sect force would so many materials be required.”

She was just a little puzzled.

The person in front of her was at most in the Spirit Transformation Realm, so how could she have such financial resources to create a sect?

“What?”

“Do I need to state the purpose when buying goods from your esteemed pavilion?” Yan Yun retorted.

The woman immediately shook her head.

“Apologies, I was just a little curious.”

“Whether you say it or not is your business.”

“We at the Qianjin Pavilion can gather all these materials, but it will take at least three days,” the woman stated.

This meant that Yan Yun couldn’t get these materials now; she had to wait three days.

She thought about it, and it was actually a good thing.

She could use these three days to investigate the details of Tianji Island.

“No problem, I’ll come back in three days.”

After speaking, she was about to leave, but was immediately stopped by the other party.

“Wait a moment.”

Yan Yun immediately stopped and looked at the other party.

“Is there anything else?”

The woman chuckled.

“Don’t misunderstand, this is a big deal.”

“Our Qianjin Pavilion needs to mobilize resources from various places, which will consume a lot of manpower and material resources.”

“We can’t just mobilize based on a casual word, so you need to pay a deposit.”

“Otherwise, if you suddenly change your mind, our Qianjin Pavilion will suffer a great loss.”

“I believe that anyone who does business with integrity should understand this.”

After hearing the other party’s explanation, she didn’t find the request unreasonable.

“Alright, then how much of a deposit is required?”

The woman immediately began to calculate quickly.

Soon, she gave Yan Yun an astronomical figure.

“The materials you need add up to about one hundred and twenty million spirit stones.”

“You need to pay a deposit of twenty million spirit stones.”

This number made Yan Yun’s scalp tingle.

Although she had tens of millions on her, and had obtained a large pile of treasures from Tianwu Gate, and had earned nearly fifty million, plus robbing four forces, she indeed had over one hundred million spirit stones on her.

Creating a force was really expensive.

Of course, this was mainly because the Poison Sect Yan Yun was creating was being built to the standards of a major sect.

If she were just creating a small force, it certainly wouldn’t cost so much.

“Alright, but how can I be sure that you will deliver the items to me in three days?” Yan Yun also raised her own concerns.

The woman was very straightforward.

“You can also choose not to pay a deposit, but our Qianjin Pavilion will need to leave a tracking mark on you to prevent you from backing out later.”

Yan Yun thought about it and decided to give the spirit stones.

She couldn’t hand over her safety completely to strangers, not to mention she had a conflict with the Qianjin Pavilion and couldn’t let them know her identity.

“Then I’ll pay the deposit.”

“I don’t have that many low-grade spirit stones.”

“Will mid-grade spirit stones do?” Yan Yun asked.

Spirit stones were also divided into low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.

Among them, low-grade spirit stones were generally used for daily transactions, mid-grade spirit stones for large transactions, and high-grade and top-grade spirit stones were mostly used for setting up arrays and restrictions.

“No problem,” the woman nodded.

So Yan Yun directly brought out several boxes of mid-grade spirit stones.

Low-grade spirit stones were pure white, while mid-grade spirit stones were light blue.

These mid-grade spirit stones were ones Yan Yun had robbed from the treasure vaults of the four forces, including Blood Demon Island.

Mid-grade spirit stones were generally used as a force’s reserve spirit stones and were not usually carried around.

The spirit stones they had robbed from these forces were basically all mid-grade spirit stones, with a portion of high-grade spirit stones.

“The guest is straightforward.”

“Here, this is our Qianjin Pavilion’s Purple Gold VIP token.”

“In the future, if you come to our Qianjin Pavilion to buy things, you will get a twenty percent discount.”

After the woman took the spirit stones, she gave Yan Yun a special token.

As a merchant, she naturally wanted to maximize her profits.

This token was used to win over guests who brought a lot of business to their Qianjin Pavilion.

“Hmm, thank you,” Yan Yun took the token, turned, and left.

Yan Yun glanced at the token in her hand.

She felt that this token might be of great use in the future.

After leaving the Qianjin Pavilion, Yan Yun came to the inner city of Tianji Island, where the Dao Alliance was located.

The outer city was a commercial area, and the inner city was where their force was located.

When Yan Yun arrived here, she found many cultivators lining up to walk towards the gate of the Dao Alliance, which made her a little curious.

“Strange, what are they doing?” Yan Yun muttered to herself.

But just then, a gentle male voice sounded in her ear.

“Young lady, is this your first time on Tianji Island?”

Yan Yun immediately turned to the side.

She saw a young man and woman dressed in very modern attire, standing by and looking at her.

“Eh? Brother, are you talking to me?” Yan Yun looked around, then pointed at herself and asked.

The man nodded.

“That’s right.”

“Alright, it is indeed my first time here.”

“I just think the style of this Tianji Island is very unique, it doesn’t feel like the style of this world.”

“Then I heard from the people in the city that this is the masterpiece of the Dao Alliance’s Master and his wife, so I came here out of curiosity to take a look,” Yan Yun said directly.

There was no need to be secretive about this kind of thing, it wasn’t a secret.

“Haha, my wife and I think so too.”

“Would the young lady be interested in hearing me ramble for a bit?” the middle-aged man laughed.

Yan Yun was just looking for someone to clear her doubts, so she nodded.

“Alright, please speak, brother, I’m all ears.”

This middle-aged man seemed to know a lot about the Dao Alliance.

Judging by his attire, he should be a local.

The locals of Tianji Island were all dressed in a more modern style.

Of course, it wasn’t completely modern, but a combination of ancient and modern styles.

The middle-aged man told Yan Yun that these cultivators in line were all here to register for the Dao Alliance Academy.

This Dao Alliance Academy was also founded by the Alliance Master and his wife, similar to the academy of the Righteous Dao Alliance.

They could pay a portion of the tuition fee to study cultivation at the Dao Alliance Academy.

In the academy, there were famous teachers who would give lectures on various side professions such as refining, alchemy, and so on.

The term was three years, and during these three years, they could freely enter and leave the Dao Alliance Academy.

As for studying, you could come if you had time, and you didn’t have to if you didn’t.

And the things taught in the academy were all practical.

The tuition was relatively expensive, but you could also not pay the tuition when you enrolled, as long as your aptitude was acceptable, you could get an advance on the tuition.

But cultivators who got an advance on the tuition had to attend classes on time, and then join the Dao Alliance after three years to work for them.

After earning back the tuition they owed, they could freely leave the Dao Alliance.

As for why the Alliance Master and his wife suddenly came up with so many strange things.

According to the middle-aged man, it seemed to be because the Alliance Master and his wife had a dream.

They said that during their seclusion, their consciousness went to another special world.

All of this was brought back from that other world.

After hearing this, Yan Yun was stunned.

‘A dream? I don’t think so.’

‘Could the Alliance Master and his wife also be from Earth?’

‘But who could they be?’ Yan Yun wondered in her heart.

The young couple also looked at Yan Yun with curious eyes.

“Young lady, what’s wrong?”

“Are you very interested in this matter?” the young woman also asked with a smile.

Yan Yun was a little conflicted.

She didn’t know how to explain, and it wasn’t good to talk about this matter directly with outsiders.

“Oh, nothing, just curious, purely curious, nothing else,” Yan Yun said quickly.

After saying this, she thanked the two of them, then turned and left.

But after she had walked far away, the beautiful woman’s expression became somewhat complex.

“Husband, this girl gives me a familiar feeling,” the woman said, holding her heart.

The man nodded.

“I have the same feeling.”

“And she seems to be very interested in the things we’ve created.”

“Do you think she could be?”

The woman thought for a moment, then tentatively said, “Why don’t we secretly observe this little one?”

The man nodded.

“Alright, then we’ll observe her.”

With that, the two of them suddenly disappeared on the spot.

Yan Yun, on the other hand, went to an inn with a heavy heart.

On Tianji Island, it was called a guest house.

Everything here told her that the Alliance Master and his wife must have come from the same place as them.

At the same time, the cultivators from the four major forces, led by Blood Demon Island, had also arrived on Tianji Island.

The moment they arrived, the surrounding people immediately felt that they were not here for good, and they all fled as far as they could.

“Look, it’s the Blood Demon Old Freak of Blood Demon Island.”

“And the White Bone Master of White Bone Island, what’s wrong with them, why do they look so aggressive?”

Many cultivators recognized Blood Demon Old Ancestor and the others.

Although the Star Ocean was vast, the number of Divine Venerable cultivators was far less than that of the Righteous Dao Alliance, so every Divine Venerable was a famous figure in the Star Ocean.

“They’re not here for good, hurry up and get away from them.”

The disciples of the Dao Alliance, seeing four Divine Venerable experts arriving so aggressively, quickly stepped forward and asked politely.

“Seniors, you are?”

But Blood Demon Old Ancestor immediately snorted coldly.

“It’s none of your business, we’re looking for someone,” Blood Demon Old Ancestor said and flew in directly.

These people, apart from being the Old Ancestors of their respective forces, were also honorary elders of the Dao Alliance.

The disciples of the Dao Alliance naturally didn’t dare to ask any more questions.
