As a result of the discussion between Gongsun Yan and Xing Kui, they decided to use the "space tunnel" to travel to the Shenzhou Continent. Currently, there are three forces in the Jishui Kingdom that own "space tunnels", namely the Royal Jishui Academy, the Xianwu Palace and the Qingqiu Palace.
.
Gongsun Yan and Xianwu Palace were already at odds, and he was not very familiar with Jishui Academy. Only Qingqiu Palace had a good relationship, but he had a very unpleasant experience with Qingzu.
After much thought, the two decided to try Qingqiu Palace first, and if it didn't work, they would go to Jishui Academy.
To be cautious, the two of them dressed up as Chu Bao and Chu Hu and went to Qingqiu Palace.
Gongsun Yan and his two men went directly to the mountain gate of Qingqiu Palace and asked to see the palace owner. The guard still remembered that Gongsun Yan and Qing Wuyan had been here last time, so they immediately went in to report, and then a deacon welcomed them in.
They didn't go far when they saw Qing Wuyan and his wife rushing towards them. When they saw Gongsun Yan, Qing Wuyan greeted him warmly:
"My dear nephew is finally here. We have been waiting for you for more than ten days."
"Ah? Uncle knows we are coming?" Gongsun Yan was very surprised.
"Haha, I guess you will definitely go to Shenzhou Continent in the near future, and you will probably leave from Qingqiu Palace, so you and your aunt will stay here."
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan was secretly shocked. Jiang was still too old. He never expected that his whereabouts would be guessed by Qing Wuyan.
He quickly bowed to greet the couple and asked:
"Uncle, aunt, what do you want from me?"
"Oh! I'm really sorry. I heard that the young master is going there. We would like to ask you to bring some things to my daughter. By the way, we can check on her condition for us. Are you used to living there? It's been so long.
Don’t bring a message home.”
Lu Zhining said, her face a little sad.
"Oh, this is a small matter. Even if you don't tell me, I will go and see Miss Qinghan whenever possible," Gongsun Yan said.
While chatting, several people walked toward the meeting hall. When they reached the hillside, Qing Yue was already waiting there. When they saw Gongsun Yan and the others, they both exchanged polite greetings.
It turned out that Qingyue also wanted to bring something to her daughter. It had been more than five years since Qingluqi and Qinghan were taken away by Qingzu, and Qingyue missed her very much.
This time Gongsun Yan and the others went to the Shenzhou Continent, and Qing Yue expected that he would come to borrow the "space tunnel" in all likelihood. Qing Wuyan and his wife happened to be in the same place with her, and they waited for Gongsun Yan for a few days together.
After learning about this situation, Gongsun Yan put away all the things they had prepared. Each house contained a large package containing various things for girls, including gold ingots, which made Gongsun Yan dumbfounded.
These things are almost useless to immortal cultivators, but because of their parents' kindness, Gongsun Yan couldn't say anything and kept them all.
Seeing Qing Yue and the others entrusting the matter with such solemnity, Gongsun Yan was secretly happy and thought that there would be no problem in borrowing the "space tunnel".
Several people came to the Taiqing Palace in the back mountain together. Pang Shining received Gongsun Yan and the others in the main hall. After learning Gongsun Yan's intention, Pang Shining pondered for a while and asked:
"Chu Bao, do you know what the 'space tunnel' is?"
"Oh, I know a little bit about it. It was introduced in some classics." Gongsun Yan did not say that he had already ridden the "space tunnel".
"Hey, many things in the classics are not reliable. The 'space tunnel' is not as simple as you think. To go to the Shenzhou Continent from here, you have to pass through four transfer stations on the way. The first three are all points of my Qingqiu Palace.
Zong, but the last transfer station is located on an island, and it will cost a lot of high-grade Yuan Stone in total." Pang Shining said.
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan suddenly understood what he meant, knowing in his heart that he was reluctant to part with the Yuan Stone.
At the same time, Gongsun Yan also figured out one thing. Qinghan told him that there is a "time and space bridge" in Qingqiu Palace, which can directly reach the Shenzhou Continent. Now it seems that the information Qinghan got is wrong. She may have guessed it herself.
.
Otherwise, there would be no mistaking "space-time bridge" and "space tunnel".
After pondering for a while, Gongsun Yan said:
"Mrs. Pang, I can pay Yuanshi, please don't worry!"
"Oh? What I'm talking about is a high-grade Yuan Stone. Have you seen it?" Pang Shining's lips curled up into a sly smile.
"Oh, Mrs. Pang, let's see if it's like this."
As Gongsun Yan spoke, he took out a high-grade Yuan Stone and handed it to Pang Shining.
Pang Shining took it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and asked in surprise:
"Where did you get this kind of thing? Have you ever left Qingzhou Continent?"
"Oh, it was given to me by an immortal master before he died." Gongsun Yan said.
Hearing this, Pang Shining breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked again:
"Do you know the value of this thing?"
"Oh, I don't know. I haven't seen it here in the kingdom." Gongsun Yan replied.
"This high-grade Yuan Stone is worth at least 20,000 taels of gold, and if you go through the 'space tunnel' this time, each of you will need at least hundreds of such Yuan Stones!" Pang Shining said.
"Ah! So expensive!"
On the side, Qing Yue and Qing Wuyan exclaimed at the same time that both of them had put gold ingots in the package and were going to bring it to their daughter. Now they heard that the "travel expenses" there would cost tens of millions of taels of gold.
, secretly dumbfounded, they looked at each other with blushes on their faces.
Pang Shining had a smile on his face and said in a slightly teasing tone:
"Mr. Chu, do you still want to take the 'Space Tunnel' to the Shenzhou Continent now? If you are not in a hurry, I advise you to give up this idea and fly there by yourself. The scenery along the way is still very good, but it takes a long time.
, if everything goes well, it will be there in one year.”
"Mrs. Pang, how many high-grade Yuan stones are needed for each person to ride here?" Gongsun Yan asked.
"Oh? Do you really want to sit down? For the sake of helping Qingqiu Palace defeat Xianwu Palace this time, I will charge you one hundred high-grade Yuan Stones from each of you. Do you have any?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan fumbled around for a while, "collected" two hundred high-grade Yuan stones and handed them to Pang Shining and said:
"Oh, are these enough?"
Pang Shining took it and counted it carefully and said:
"Well, that's enough. You won't only have so many multi-stones, will you? Then how do you get there?" Pang Shining asked curiously.
"Oh, if you can sit there for a while, then consider flying there if you can't."
Gongsun Yan replied that he still understood the principle of wealth not showing off, and deliberately made a poor look to hide others' ears.
"Okay! Then we won't delay any more. I'll send you there in person. Qing Yue comes with me. You don't have to follow Qing Wuyan!" Pang Shining said.
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan immediately said goodbye to Qing Wuyan and his wife. He saw that the circles in Lu Zhining's eyes were already slightly red. If possible, she wished she could go with Gongsun Yan and his wife.
