Chapter 451
"Yu County?"
Upon hearing this, the Clan Leader pondered for a while before slowly saying: "If we're talking about Foundation Establishment families in Yu County, among the other four major families, the one with the best relationship with our Su family should be the Bai family. The Bai family and our Su family have some intermarriage."
"So the relationship between our two families is the closest, and the Bai family and our Su family were the weakest in strength before, and have always been considered an alliance to resist the other families."
"However, wanting to make the Bai family migrate is not that easy."
The Clan Leader said. Migrating for cultivators might be simple, but when it involved mortals, it was different. That involved a distance of ten thousand miles, or even tens of thousands of miles. For mortals to migrate, relying on their legs alone, just walking would take several years.
Moreover, in this wilderness, it was extremely dangerous. Even with cultivators looking after them, I'm afraid the casualties along the way would definitely be significant.
Furthermore, whether that third-tier spirit vein could be held was also an unknown.
Su Fan naturally understood the Clan Leader's concerns. This migration was not a simple matter. A journey of tens of thousands of miles was indeed a chasm for mortals, not something that could be easily crossed.
If it were modern Earth, the roads would be easy to walk, but the roads in this world were not so easy to walk.
What was the situation in most of the wilderness? It was overgrown with weeds that could be taller than a person. In these bushes, there were even more crises. Sometimes, even cultivators would encounter danger, let alone mortals.
There was a road from Yu County to the Taihe Mountain Range, which was a road opened up by Yu County in conjunction with the Taihe lineage. For this road, a significant price had been paid.
Even so, every time a caravan passed by, they had to be very careful. Sometimes they would be attacked and suffer losses.
A large group of mortals moving out would likely attract those demonic cultivators.
Even the Su family had concerns about migrating, let alone others. The Taihe Mountain Range could have its current prosperity only after more than two hundred years of construction.
Su Fan naturally knew that one couldn't become fat in one bite.
However, he also had plans. Migration naturally couldn't rely on legs, especially for mortals. There were too many poisonous insects in the wilderness. Even if they couldn't threaten cultivators, for mortals, one bite would definitely be fatal.
So the best way was to use transport ships.
On Earth, there were airplanes and aerospace carriers, technological gadgets. This world also had them, and that was the flying boat.
Flying boats were similar to flying swords, but flying swords were dharma swords that could only carry one or two people, while flying boats came in large and small sizes. Small ones could carry three or five people, large ones could carry dozens or hundreds, and even hundreds were no problem.
Of course, it was said that there were even larger ones, but those were all high-level flying boats. The Zheng State was located in the Southern Huang Ye, considered the edge of the cultivation world, and was very poor.
Su Fan didn't ask for large ones, as long as they were medium-sized, capable of transporting a hundred people at a time. Such dharma flying boats, even if they were slow and had no defensive power, were enough.
And such transport flying boats were not unavailable, but under normal circumstances, no one bought them. After all, cultivators themselves could rely on flying swords to fly.
Flying boats generally emphasized speed. Such flying boat dharma tools were more attractive, with speeds faster than flying swords.
But Su Fan didn't need that; he needed another kind, the transport kind. Even if the speed was slower, it would still be much faster than walking on the road.
It's just that this kind of flying boat had almost no defense. Once they encountered flying beasts, they would be finished.
So in the Zheng State, they were rarely used. Caravans would rather rely on horse-drawn carriages to walk, at least it was safer.
Of course, the reason why caravans chose to walk on land was, first, for safety, and second, choosing flying boats was not cost-effective.
The price of the flying boat itself was extremely expensive. Even a second-tier low-grade flying boat was more expensive than many second-tier high-grade dharma tools.
Secondly, the spirit rice and goods transported by the caravan were also very heavy. One or two flying boats were simply not enough.
Naturally, no force was willing to use them.
But Su Fan and the others were different. One flying boat could transport a hundred people. If five came, that would be five hundred people.
According to the speed of the flying boat, one hundred thousand miles would take about twenty years.
As long as there were more flying boats, the time would be reduced.
The refining of second-tier flying boats was not too difficult for the Su family now, especially with Su Fan's current cultivation; refining dharma tools was also relatively easy.
As for the materials for refining flying boats, as long as there were enough spirit stones, it would be enough.
The only worry was safety. This kind of flying boat had no protective ability unless it was a high-level one.
So it could only be protected by Foundation Establishment cultivators.
This was the biggest problem. The Su family now only had four Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even with two Foundation Establishment Pills, if they all succeeded, there would only be six.
However, fortunately, Su Fan's strength had enough power to protect them. In this way, all the conditions were met.
So when Su Fan stated his idea.
Both the Clan Leader and the Great Elder were very surprised.
"Is this really feasible?"
"That would require how many flying boats? I'm afraid it would require a lot of spirit stones, right?"
A second-tier low-grade flying boat cost at least two thousand spirit stones. Ten would be twenty thousand. According to Su Fan's meaning, taking out a hundred at once would be two hundred thousand.
That could buy three auxiliary treasures for opening the Purple Mansion. The Su family simply couldn't take that out now.
Even if they refined it themselves, a second-tier low-grade flying boat would likely require one thousand spirit stones.
Both of them looked troubled.
"Clan Leader, don't worry. Leave the problem of the flying boats to me. Besides, it's not like we need to migrate immediately. At the very least, we have to conquer that mountain range and clear the surroundings before we can slowly migrate."
"And we don't need to migrate many people at the beginning. Take it slowly; we have enough time."
"In addition, this flying boat is not disposable. In the future, it might become a business."
As long as the safety of the flying boat's flight could be guaranteed, becoming a transport team in the future would definitely be profitable.
After all, the speed of the flying boat was much faster than on land. A caravan from Yu County to the Taihe Mountain Range would take more than two months one way, and that was still a fast journey.
But using a flying boat, it might take less than twenty days, which could save a lot of time and also save some manpower.
After all, every caravan required a large number of cultivators for protection.
If they used a flying boat, perhaps one Foundation Establishment cultivator and a few Qi Refining cultivators would be enough.
Within the Zheng State, encountering flying beasts was still rare. Foundation Establishment cultivators were enough to ensure safety.
This might become a business that could bring some spirit stones to the Su family.
Su Fan also proposed this point, which moved the Great Elder. He felt it was feasible.
After all, although this business didn't exist in the Zheng State, it did exist in other places.
Although it couldn't be expanded, it could earn some money every year. Of course, the premise was that you had to have enough security.
After all, in the cultivation world, there were many loose cultivators who robbed houses.
