"Have you prepared your source stones?"
Entering the secret chamber, the examiner with the goatee glanced at the teleportation platform before turning back to inquire Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian.
"Yes, we've prepared enough."
Mu Jinyu didn't wait for Chu Huannian to respond and raised his hand to take out a stack of storage bags.
These storage bags were naturally taken after he killed the forty-four people who passed the actual combat assessnt.
Seeing this, Chu Huannian's eyes showed a bit of helplessness and amusent, not intending to take out her own source stones.
She found it quite amusing that these people had thought they had successfully passed the Dongyue Mansion entry assessnt and specially prepared a heap of source stones to take the teleportation array to Donghua Province, but they ended up dead, making it all a bargain for them.
"Okay, go ahead and put them up."
The examiner with the goatee slled a faint scent of blood when Mu Jinyu took out the stack of storage bags and naturally knew the reason. However, he didn't mind these things and gestured for Mu Jinyu to place the source stones on the teleportation platform.
"How many are needed?"
Mu Jinyu took out the source stones while looking back at the examiner with the goatee.
The examiner with the goatee replied, "Using the teleportation array to cross a state domain requires a large amount of primordial force. If it's Low Grade Source Stones, about four hundred thousand; dium Grade Source Stones would be forty thousand; Superior Grade Source Stones ten thousand; Top-Quality Grade Source Stones a thousand; a single special Source Crystal would suffice."
Mu Jinyu knew what Source Crystals were; they were used by the Divine Race to supply warships when they ca to Earth, also called Divine Crystals. If it were the Devil Clan, they would be Demon Crystals. Other species have similar crystal stones, which are purer and better energy crystals than ordinary source stones.
However, these things are quite rare, and non-Divine, Devil, or Demon species almost cannot obtain them. Perhaps, those human royal clans with half-bloodlines have so at ho?
Since Mu Jinyu didn't have such things, he could only use ordinary source stones. Considering Top-Quality and Superior Grade Source Stones are more convenient, he naturally chose to provide the teleportation array's startup energy with Low Grade Raw Stones and dium Grade Source Stones.
"Rustle!"
Mu Jinyu poured two hundred thousand Low Grade Source Stones onto the wide teleportation array platform, followed by another twenty thousand dium Grade Source Stones.
Actually, if the teleportation array platform could hold more source stones, Mu Jinyu wouldn't mind pouring in four hundred thousand Low Grade Source Stones.
The examiner with the goatee swept his Divine Sense over the stones, knowing the count was approximately correct, then reminded Mu Jinyu, "Actually, you'd better put in more. Don't worry about waste. If during teleport, the energy runs out and the transmission stops midway, you might be shaken to death by the void turbulence, and..."
"The teleportation personnel at other states might not be as agreeable as I am. If you want them to help activate the teleportation array, rember to give each of them a tenth of the source stones as a toll fee."
"Oh, okay..."
Mu Jinyu understood the examiner's aning and added more source stones to the teleportation array platform, also giving him forty Top-Quality Grade Source Stones.
A tenth as a toll fee is actually quite expensive.
If these source stones weren't given to him, Mu Jinyu would likely feel distressed.
"Alright."
The examiner with the goatee was actually indifferent to these source stones; he didn't lack them. But to maintain the rules, he accepted them, then reminded, "Okay, stand on the teleportation platform. I'll prepare to activate the teleportation array."
"Hmm."
Mu Jinyu picked up Ji Xiaoyun and stood on the teleportation platform.
Chu Huannian and Chu Huaxiu quickly stood on it too.
"Buzz buzz!!"
Then, the examiner with the goatee began to activate the teleportation array.
Accompanied by a gentle boom, over two hundred thousand source stones on the teleportation platform instantly disintegrated, transforming into the most primal energy, emitting colorful rays, then rapidly absorbed by the intricate inscriptions on the teleportation platform!
With all the primordial Qi consud, the teleportation platform began to emit intense white light, making it hard for Mu Jinyu and the others to keep their eyes open.
"The teleportation is about to start; wish that once you enter Dongyue Mansion, your cultivation path will surge forward, and your martial fortune will flourish!"
As the teleportation array was about to officially activate, the examiner with the goatee sent his blessings to Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian.
"Boom!!"
Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian didn't have ti to reply as a fierce rumble sounded in their ears, their minds suddenly went blank, seeing nothing, thinking nothing.
Dazed, they felt as if in Heaven.
"Wake up, wake up!"
After an unknown duration, Mu Jinyu and the others were startled awake by a cold urging voice.
Then, Mu Jinyu shook his head painfully, struggled to open his eyes, and saw the four of them still standing in a room filled with infinite mystery. Their feet were on the wide teleportation platform, but the person before them was not the examiner with the goatee.
It was a black-faced man.
The man looked at them impatiently, and seeing Mu Jinyu and the others waking up, he lazily asked, "Going to Donghua Province, right? You know the rules, right?"
"Hmm."
Mu Jinyu nodded, first handing over forty Top-Quality Grade Source Stones to the man, then placing two hundred twenty thousand Low Grade Source Stones and twenty-two thousand dium Grade Source Stones on the teleportation platform.
"Hmm, do you want to rest a bit and recover before activating the teleportation array to the next state domain, or start now?"
Having received the toll fee, the black-faced man's deanor eased considerably and he asked.
Upon hearing him, Mu Jinyu exchanged glances with Chu Huannian and the others, saying, "Let's wait."
Such long-distance teleportation feels terrible. If each ti they arrive at a point, before recovering, they are sent again, Mu Jinyu guessed he'd be sick by the ti he reached Donghua Province.
Since the black-faced man let them rest first, they had no reason to refuse this inhumane experience.
"Alright, call when you're ready."
The black-faced man nodded lightly, unsurprised at Mu Jinyu's choice. His figure turned, disappearing from the room.
Mu Jinyu guessed he might be like the examiner with the goatee, either off to drink tea or secretly making the region's participating test students endure unknown assessnts of despair and temperant.
But it didn't matter; they had passed all tests, any other concerns were none of their business.
After resting for five minutes, Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian felt better. The only reason they kept resting was waiting for Chu Huaxiu and Ji Xiaoyun to adapt.
After about fifteen minutes, Ji Xiaoyun finally felt better and fearfully grasped Mu Jinyu's sleeve, timidly saying, "Brother Jinyu, I'm ready, we can start..."
Though hesitant to undergo this harsh teleportation experience, Ji Xiaoyun remained strong to stay by Mu Jinyu's side.
"Alright."
Mu Jinyu calmly adjusted her Qi with Blood Essence while calling out, "Sir, we're ready."
The call rang out.
After a dozen seconds.
The black-faced man's silhouette shifted and appeared before them, muttering, "You guys took quite a long break, fine... let's start..."
After speaking, he began activating the teleportation array platform.
Instantly, the over two hundred thousand source stones Mu Jinyu placed on the teleportation platform turned into primordial energy and were consud, and their figures slowly vanished from the room.
