“Transport formation? What’s that?” Chu Ninghai’s face revealed confusion.

Su Han slapped his forehead. “Ah, right, you guys probably haven’t even heard of formations, let alone the transport formation.”

“Humph, like you’re so knowledgeable,” Yun Qianqian snorted.

Yun Qianqian’s first impression of Su Han wasn’t too good. Now, seeing that Su Han was stalling, naturally she had lost her patience.

“At least I’m more knowledgeable than you.” Su Han shot a glance at Yun Qianqian.

“You!”

Before Yun Qianqian could say more, Chu Ninghai said, “Young Master Su Han, why don’t you explain first what a transport formation is?”

“The super-geniuses on the Martial Dragon Continent are all extremely fast. I’m sure you’re familiar with that.”

Su Han continued to explain, “Let alone the Dragon Grand Realm cultivators and the Dragon Elder Realm cultivators, even a Dragon Core Realm cultivator could travel several miles with a single step. It’s like they can shrink the land beneath them, or teleport.”

“Right, the Dragon Core Realm cultivators have mastered the forces of the world to be able to break any dimensional barriers, allowing them to travel miles with a single step.” Chu Ninghai nodded.

“However, this ability is only limited to travelling alone!”

Su Han said, “If they brought along others, their speed would decrease dramatically. The more people they bring, the slower their speed.”

“Right.” Chu Ninghai nodded again, trying to figure out what Su Han was getting at.

“The transport formation, however, is capable of allowing people to travel instantaneously, without any limitations of the person’s cultivation.” Su Han finally explained the effect of the transport formation.

Su Han was a bit nonplussed. In his past life, the transport formation was nothing more than an ordinary formation. Every formation artist was able to lay out a transport formation. Only the strength of the formation differed based on the formation artist’s skill of laying out formations.

“What?!”

This ordinary thing to Su Han was an astonishment to Chu Ninghai and Yun Qianqian when they heard it.

“Even a Dragon Vein Realm cultivator could travel instantaneously?” Chu Ninghai said in shock.

“Even people who do not have any cultivation.” Su Han nodded.

“You’re lying!”

Yun Qianqian said, “The strong can travel instantaneously because they have mastered the forces of the world to some degree. How could a Dragon Vein Realm cultivator, and even a regular person, travel instantaneously?”

“You’re only calling it instantaneous travel because you look up to them. Do you know what true instantaneous travel is?”

Su Han looked at Yun Qianqian, his eyes flickering. “True instantaneous travel is to vanish into thin air and leap across hundreds of millions of miles in an instant!”

“You don’t have that sort of cultivation, so how would you know?” Yun Qianqian was not convinced.

“That has nothing to do with you.”

Su Han shook his head and said immediately, “However, there are also disadvantages to the transport formation. It requires spirit stones to maintain. Also, most transport formations can only allow movement between two fixed points, and do not allow the freedom of movement that the strong have.”

“In other words, there are transport formations that do allow the freedom of movement?” Chu Ninghai asked.

“Of course, however, don’t think about it yet. Those transport formations require incredible materials. It would be costly even for the Thousand Treasure Pavilion to use those materials,” Su Han said indifferently.

Yun Qianqian lifted her small head. “Do you know how wealthy the Thousand Treasure Pavilion is? On the Martial Dragon Continent, there’s nothing that the Thousand Treasure Pavilion can’t buy.”

“Wow, how impressive,” Su Han complimented sarcastically.

The wealth of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion?

Just one item from Su Han’s past life was enough to compete with the wealth of the whole Martial Dragon Continent, let alone the Thousand Treasure Pavilion.

“How about this…” Su Han said. “I’ll exchange the purple grade dragon technique for twenty poor quality spirit stones.”

After that, Su Han got up, seemingly waiting for Chu Ninghai to bring the spirit stones so he could leave.

“Don’t be in such a rush!”

Chu Ninghai was anxious. As the main owner of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, naturally he knew how to do business. It didn’t take him much thought to realize how much money he could make with the transport formation.

“About the transport formation… let’s discuss it more,” Chu Ninghai said.

“Discuss?”

Su Han looked at Chu Ninghai. “If the Thousand Treasure Pavilion offers me three favors, I’ll help you build three transport formations. However, you need to prepare the materials yourself. Moreover, my cultivation is limited, so I can only build the transport formations within the Far Mountain Province.”

“This transport formation probably wouldn’t cost a lot of spirit stones, right? How many spirit stones does it need?” Chu Ninghai got straight to the point.

“One poor quality spirit stone should be enough to maintain it for a whole month, since the Far Mountain Province isn’t that big. However, the materials to build the transport formation will be expensive. Of course, it’s still easily within the ability of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion. As for transporting, a single poor quality spirit stone should be enough to transport a million people,” Su Han said.

“A single low quality spirit stone is worth a million gold pieces, and yet is able to transport a million people. If I charge ten gold pieces per person, then that’s… ten million! Ten times the profit!”

Chu Ninghai’s eyes suddenly lit up. The whole Far Mountain Province’s flow of people was more than ten million at its lowest. Moreover, ten gold pieces really wasn’t a lot for a cultivator.

In simpler words, if a cultivator wished to travel, would he rather waste days on the road or ten gold pieces to arrive instantaneously? What if he was in a hurry?

The answer was obvious.

“Wait a minute.”

Chu Ninghai left the room after that.

After half an hour, Chu Ninghai finally returned. “Young Master Su Han, if you offer your services to build three transport formations, then the Thousand Treasure Pavilion will provide you with three favors.”

“Alright.”

Su Han pulled out a list and passed it to Chu Ninghai. “Here’s the materials required to build the transport formation. When you have the materials ready, come and find me in the Xiao Estate.”

“One Space Spirit Wood, ten average quality spirit stones, one space stone…”

Chu Ninghai read the names of the items on the list and couldn’t help frown. “The cost of the items is over a hundred million gold pieces, and that’s only for a single transport formation.”

“It shouldn’t be hard, given the wealth of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion. Moreover, you can easily imagine the profits that can come from this.” Su Han smiled.

“Alright!”

Chu Ninghai took a deep breath and gave Su Han the twenty low quality spirit stones, as well as an invitation card.

“This is the invitation card for the auction three months from now. When the auction is about to begin, the card will light up.”

“Many thanks.”

Without any hesitation, Su Han took the spirit stones and left the room.

“Move aside!”

As Su Han arrived at the lobby, he heard waves of uproar ring out.

Su Han lifted his head to see a large group of people coming from outside, letting out a strong aura from all over their bodies. Anyone in their way was violently pushed away by the overbearing group.

In the middle of the group was a young man dressed in fancy robes, obviously a disciple from a wealthy and prestigious clan.

Two young men followed beside him, looking subservient as they nodded their heads and bent their backs.

“It’s them?”

Su Han’s eyes narrowed and his lips curled.
