Chapter 162: Misdirection
A few days later, Tang Lang was walking on the way back to Ziwei City, and there was an extra figure next to him, it was Ke Honghua, the director of the Formation Association who had been following him from Yuanshui City. Not only did he not have any intention of blaming Tang Lang, but he wanted to apprentice to him, but Tang Lang couldn't tell him, so he could only let him follow him, and he called it the master for inspection.
"Little junior brother, little junior brother, in fact, how good it is for us to rent a carriage, so that our senior brothers can have a good chat! What kind of temper do you say the old man has and what hobbies do you have?"
Ke Honghua kept inquiring about the details of the master, which made Tang Lang tired of it: "Ahem, what's that, Director Ke, the master didn't promise to accept you as an apprentice, don't want the junior brother to be close to the apprentice!"
"Yes, yes, the little junior brother is right!" Ke Hong turned into an apprentice, completely ignoring Tang Lang's face, and still greeted him with a smile.
"Director Ke, your association is busy with affairs, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to just throw it all to others to deal with!" Tang Lang changed the topic, wanting to shake off the other party's entanglement.
Ke Honghua shook his head nonchalantly and said, "It's okay! I usually don't care about those trivial matters, I just throw them to others to deal with, otherwise how can I have the energy to study the formation!"
Tang Lang had a thought in his heart, and asked casually: "Director Ke, let me ask ......?"
"What Director Ke, Director Ke, so outside! Before the master officially accepted me as an apprentice, I was a lot older than you, so you should be Brother Ke!" Ke Honghua replied with a smile.
"Okay!" Tang Lang felt that the other party had no malicious intent, so he called with the other party's request: "Brother Ke, I want to ask a question! If you set up a teleportation formation between the two places to transport some small items, how can you reduce the loss of the spar as much as possible while ensuring the stability of the teleportation?"
Ke Honghua's eyes lit up, thinking that this was a test for himself, and he gushed endlessly: "Well, I have studied this problem before! Generally speaking, the amount of spar consumed by the teleportation array mainly depends on three aspects: the distance of the teleportation, the size of the teleportation item, and the comfort level of the teleportation process! Taking the formation I originally set up in the association as an example, I only need to teleport from the first floor to the top floor, and the spiritual power consumed each time is negligible, and a spar can be used for a long time. ”
"So, Brother Ke has a lot of research on teleportation formations?"
"Don't dare, it's just an axe in front of the little junior brother!" Ke Honghua never changed his words, and Tang Lang could only do whatever he wanted.
"I want to set up a teleportation array between Ziwei City and Yuanshui City, can Brother Ke help me?" Tang Lang directly asked for help.
Ke Honghua's face was embarrassed, and after thinking for a long time, he still refused: "Little junior brother, there is almost no possibility of this thing being done!"
The setting of teleportation formations is strictly restricted in the formation association, all teleportation formations need to be applied for in the association first, and can only be set up after approval, if it is built privately, once discovered, not only will the formation be abolished, but also the person who sets up the formation will be severely punished, and the serious case may be abolished.
The reason is also very simple, if you can casually set up a teleportation array between Ziwei City and Yuanshui City, then once Ziwei City is captured by the Dark Flame Empire, you can immediately break into the territory of the Tianlan Empire with the teleportation array, and there is no need to pass through the well-defended national border.
Not only that, but make a teleportation array
The Empty Gold Stone, a necessary spiritual object of the Law, is also under the strict control of the Formation Association, and the few mineral deposits on the continent that produce Empty Gold Stone have always been controlled by the Formation Association, and even the royal families of various countries cannot touch it, which is also the Formation Association can become a huge existence beyond the countries.
"So, if I transform the teleportation array into something that can only transport some small items, but not personnel, will it be easier to pass the application?" Tang Lang still didn't give up and continued to ask.
"If that's the case, it shouldn't be strictly controlled, but most of the time someone has to guarantee it!
"How do you say this?" Tang Lang was a little puzzled.
Ke Honghua explained: "As long as you apply for the opening of the teleportation array, on the one hand, you must indicate the real purpose, and on the other hand, you must have two people with sufficient status to vouch!
Tang Lang said with a sad face: "This matter, you can't trouble the master to come forward! It's really not good, I'll go and ask the head of the Yao family to come forward." ”
"I'm afraid not! You have a cooperative relationship with the Yao family, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass the review of the Formation Association!" Although Ke Honghua wants to help, when it comes to principles, he will still deal with it impartially.
"But junior brother, why are you so persistent in setting up a teleportation formation?" Ke Honghua was very curious about Tang Lang's purpose.
Tang Lang briefly talked about his thoughts, that is, for the purpose of the Duobao Chamber of Commerce to transfer goods between Ziwei City and Yuanshui City in the future, Ke Honghua suddenly realized: "It turns out that the little junior brother is such a plan, in fact, there is no need to go through such a lot of trouble, and even say that it is a little misguided!"
"Oh?" Tang Lang was at a loss when the other party said.
Ke Honghua sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Presumably, the junior brother saw the wealth of the five major families of Yuanshui, so he thought of running a chamber of commerce to earn spars. But in fact, the biggest business opportunity of the Tianlan Empire was in cultivators, not ordinary people. Think about it......"
Ke Honghua's words suddenly made Tang Lang suddenly realize: ordinary people's business is to the extreme, and it is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, even if Tianlan Country is rich and strong, the annual expenditure is only more than 100 gold coins, which can only be regarded as small profits and quick turnover;
But after examining himself and Canglei's brothers, Tang Lang had to admit that in addition to some of the businesses that the Duobao Chamber of Commerce had envisaged before, in addition to some things such as personnel escorts and regional guards, the idea of trade was a bit too simple, and he could only earn some price differences, and it was not easy to ensure the basic operation of the Chamber of Commerce, not to mention accumulating strength to help Zhao Feiyu do some big things.
"Little junior brother, don't be discouraged!" Ke Honghua saw that he was a little disheartened, and hurriedly relieved: "You are already much luckier than many people, there is a master of the formation master, in time, you are still worried that there is no chance to earn spars! Just set up a few high-level formations for others, and the crystals will roll in!"
Tang Lang also reacted: "Yes, I have the assistance of the system, no matter what I practice, the speed is several times that of others, I can't now, it doesn't mean that I won't in the future, I can learn!
Xinjue and they should also continue to study, as long as their cultivation is strong enough, it will no longer be difficult to deal with Zhao Huahan or Dark Flame!"
If it weren't for Ke Honghua's reminder, Tang Lang didn't know how long it would take to wake up from the misunderstanding, he was very grateful to the other party in his heart, and he didn't want to deceive the other party anymore, so he immediately stopped and apologized with his fists: "Brother Ke, I have something to confess to you, I hope you can understand, I'm very sorry!"
Tang Lang told the other party about making up a formation grandmaster, and when he heard it, Ke Honghua's face turned blue and red, and he muttered: "The temperature control formation, as well as the four-in-one round formation, are they really all thought up by yourself?"
Tang Lang didn't dare to say anything about the system, so he could only nod and say: "The temperature control formation method was made by me on a whim, but the integration of the four formations was not forced out by your prayer!"
Ke Honghua's face eased a little: "I'm also happy to see the hunt, I heard that someone has studied a new formation, and I want to see it, but there is no other meaning!"
Tang Lang scratched his head and said: "But I heard from the Yao family that you usually have a close relationship with the Wen and Bao families, I thought Brother Ke was coming to find trouble......!
The two of them talked about the matter, and Ke Honghua was also relieved: "I just said how did I meet a grandmaster by such a coincidence! But it doesn't matter, junior brother, ah no, Tang Lang, your talent in the formation is really amazing, you should specialize in the formation and practice together, the grandmaster dare not say, there should be great hope for becoming a master!"
Tang Lang didn't expect that the other party would ignore his previous suspicions, but still think about himself, and the intention of making friends arose in his heart, taking advantage of the opportunity to hurry, he sincerely talked to the other party, and told the other party many things about himself, and also knew a lot about the internal affairs of the cultivators of the Tianlan Empire.
Not only is the national strength of the Tianqing Kingdom far inferior to Tianlan or Dark Flame, but even the strength of the overall cultivator is more than one grade behind, so Tang Lang has never had a deep understanding of the cultivator, and Gu Yuxia deliberately did not explain it to him before, just to let him feel it for himself.
In Tianlan's country, only those who have limited qualifications and practice to a certain bottleneck, and who have no hope of being promoted will be in the company of ordinary people, like the five masters of Yuanshui, the real powerhouses are self-contained, except for the necessary contact, they are basically immersed in cultivation with Ke Honghua, and do not let go of any possibility of improvement.
And in order to earn enough resources to assist in cultivation, basically every cultivator in Tianlan will try their best to choose one of the formations, pills, spirit plants, spirit plants, tools, and imperial beasts in the nine arts of Xuan cultivation as an aid, so they have developed a wider variety of categories and needs.
In terms of pills, in the Tianqing Dynasty, it was just more than a dozen common pills such as Zhicao Pill that promoted cultivation and improvement, Shouyuan Pill that increased lifespan, and Burning Spirit Pill that instantly improved cultivation, while the Tianlan Empire refined dozens of pills.
For example, cultivators are divided into martial arts and spell cultivation, and the position of the two spirit vortex is very different, so the elixir provided for the martial artist and the spell is also different.
And the formation, the weapon, the spirit plant, and the imperial beast are also similar, Tang Lang seems to feel that a door has been pushed open in front of him, and outside the door is an even more wonderful world......
