Chapter 680: Space Tunnel
Zhao Lu watched Yan Buji give him spiritual stones to help replenish the goods, and after a moment he also felt somewhat emotional.
If you don't say it, this kind of person like Junior Martial Brother Yan can achieve great things, right?
Thinking, Zhao Lu also felt he couldn't let those people be too arrogant. He had obtained the goods through proper channels, even putting up many spiritual stones to gather them, yet they used inferior goods to pass off as good, and even made Yan Buji have to consider the Sect Master's face and pay out of pocket to resolve this; it's really infuriating.
After all, what Zhao Lu resents is that if he had known earlier that Yan Buji was this kind of person, he would have used inferior goods too.
But now that he has the good goods, how can he let others make big money with inferior goods?
"No, this matter must be reported to the Sect Master; otherwise this gang will only grow bolder, and when Yan Buji can't cover it up, the Sect Master will know just how rotten to the core it is!"
Zhao Lu, feeling annoyed, found He Yun handling official duties in the separate courtyard, and upon approaching he clasped his hands and said, "Zhao Lu greets the Sect Master."
"It's Junior Martial Brother Zhao," He Yun chuckled.
Although Zhao Lu had not formally taken an elder of the sect as his master, because he served the ancestral master and his identity was special, He Yun also did not dare to suppress him with the Sect Master's title, and had always treated him as a fellow martial brother.
"Sect Master, I want to ask you something," Zhao Lu said, looking at He Yun.
"What is the important matter?"
Zhao Lu spoke frankly: "If someone within the sect breaks the rules, how should it be handled?"
He Yun frowned: "Naturally, it should be handled impartially."
"What if the Sect Master breaks the rules?"
"Huh?" He Yun looked at Zhao Lu doubtfully: "What do you mean? What have I done that breaks the rules?"
"Hmph! The people under the Sect Master are not clean. Although our Great Sinful Sect has always proclaimed itself as the demonic path, we cannot use the sect's interests for personal gain, can we?"
He Yun caught the implied meaning in Zhao Lu's words, though he was somewhat dissatisfied, and said: "Junior Martial Brother Zhao, speak plainly."
Zhao Lu then spoke of Fang Ketian using inferior goods to pass them off as good.
He Yun blinked: "How do you know?"
"When Junior Martial Brother Yan came to me, do you know what he told me?"
He Yun was doubtful; this matter was discovered by Yan Buji's investigation, but why didn't he tell me?
"He knew there was a batch of goods with problems, but out of consideration for your face as Sect Master, he didn't say it outright. Instead he came to me and asked me to buy a batch of goods to replace that batch!" Zhao Lu looked at He Yun.
"Yan Buji actually did that?" He Yun also realized.
It's likely that Yan Buji discovered the problem with Fang Ketian's batch of goods, but it was awkward to directly confront him about it. Moreover, Fang Ketian himself serves under his elder, and Yan Buji worried that doing so would cause him to lose face, so he decided to handle it himself.
He Yun sighed: "Yan Buji means well; in that case, I will personally handle this matter."
"That's good." Zhao Lu also knew that saying more at this point would be about the same, and continuing might make He Yun quite dissatisfied with him.
However, Zhao Lu wasn't afraid either, but thinking that everyone is within the sect, it wouldn't be good to truly become enemies over some small matters.
After a while, He Yun found Fang Ketian and privately told him about this.
As for Yan Buji, he had already prepared to set out.
"I suppose, if the Sect Master knew about this, he would admonish them not to do it again next time. That way, while ensuring the trade route remains stable, I could also gain some favor in the Sect Master's heart, living up to his high regard." Yan Buji narrowed his eyes.
Although Yan Buji wasn't entirely clear whether this matter would reach the Sect Master's ears, if things proceeded as he anticipated, at most he would offend Elder Fang Ketian.
But since this matter is being handled by the Sect Master, he cannot find trouble with him; at most he would bear a grudge against him for meddling.
Of course, this is the worst plan.
If Fang Ketian were a bit smarter, he should know what to do and what not to do.
I haven't passed off inferior goods as good to reap huge profits; how dare you do so?
Yan Buji smiled; some of these goods were also prepared by him personally, and once they are delivered to the Youming Jie for trade and exchanged, that will be a large sum of spiritual stones!
"Hall Master, everything is ready now; when do we set off?" Huang Ji said excitedly.
After the cross-domain voyager ship was refitted as a cargo vessel, it was loaded with countless resources. To be honest, this is the largest trade undertaking of the Great Sinful Sect since its reconstruction; even with many Nascent Soul Cultivators guarding it, they still fear problems.
To deal with unexpected situations, Yan Buji had discussed it with the Sect Master; naturally it would be impossible to sail the cross-domain voyager ship to the outside world and then go to the Youming Jie, so Yan Buji planned to perform spatial teleportation within the sect!
And the method is also very simple.
Yan Buji nodded: "Then let everyone prepare, including those few elders at the God Transformation and Void Refinement stages; we will undertake the first crossing of the five realms to the Youming Jie, who knows what dangers we might encounter."
"Hall Master, don't say that; if something really does happen, what then?"
"If it really does happen, we can only rely on those few elders to exert their strength." Yan Buji took it in stride.
Loading all this spiritual material into the cross-domain voyager ship is because the storage accumulation devices on the market are insufficient to hold it all, and Yan Buji couldn't possibly gather hundreds of storage bags to fill the ship.
So it's better to just load them directly like this; of course, many protective formations were also set up to prevent these spiritual materials from corrupting upon entering the Youming Jie.
"Begin!"
Yan Buji went up to the ship's cabin, took out the Netherworld Book and the Space-Splitting Stone!
"Although we can't use this to locate the persons of the netherworld, it should still be feasible!"
After Yan Buji gained a new insight into the Yu Dao previously, he thought of using the Netherworld Book and Space-Splitting Stone to forcefully open a spatial tunnel.
In fact, the linkage of the Netherworld Book and Space-Splitting Stone itself is equivalent to letting Yan Buji teleport spatially to the Youming Jie; it's just that the position cannot be precisely determined.
Therefore, under these circumstances, after Yan Buji gained his insight, he immediately thought of using the spatial coordinates of the Youming Jie calculated by the Heaven Gate Law, combined with some information from Wang Daolong, and he also consulted the Sect Master, such a powerful figure, finally researching a method that allows other items to teleport together!
"Besides, the cross-domain voyager ship itself has the ability to withstand spatial storms, so there should be no problems!"
Yan Buji placed the Netherworld Book and Space-Splitting Stone together, infused them with mana to increase the power of both items!
In the blink of an eye, a huge spatial rift suddenly appeared at the ship's bow, and Yan Buji shouted toward the cabin exterior: "Full speed ahead!"
"Yes!"
As the cross-domain voyager ship, over a hundred meters in length and width, slowly entered the spatial tunnel, the people of the Great Sinful Sect watching this scene couldn't help but be astonished:
"Is this the Sect Master's method? He actually forged a spatial tunnel out of nothing!"
"No way, if the Sect Master had such ability, we wouldn't have ended up so fragmented back then."
Feeling the spatial tunnel about to disappear, the thick yin-cold qi emanating from within left many people shocked.
