Chapter 48 Delivery

I think so?

Hearing Li Chang'an's lack of confidence, Tianxuan smiled helplessly.

This is really...

"I thought you had already factored the postage cost into the vegetable price, but I didn't expect you to have this plan."

Li Chang'an quickly replied, "That's a backup plan. If the Spirit Kite Bird really can't deliver the goods, we'll use a regular courier service."

"I was just thinking that the sorting and delivery of express packages is very rough, and the vegetables would be damaged if we used express delivery."

This will also have some impact on the reputation of Xianshan Farm.

“That makes sense.” Tianxuan nodded.

Using a kite for delivery is indeed the best choice.

"The spirit kite you mentioned has not been mentioned in any of the cultivation books I have read."

Tianxuan stroked her chin thoughtfully and said, "Perhaps it's mentioned in some ancient book; we'll need to spend some time looking for it."

Ancient books?

Li Chang'an's eyes lit up!

Doesn't he just happen to possess an "ancient book" that's practically an encyclopedia of cultivation techniques?!

Thinking of this, he quickly took out the Xuanling Immortal Mountain Basic Manual from his storage bag.

With a slight thought, the pages of the book turned, and the answer appeared as golden particles:

【Lingyuan Bird】: A descendant of the divine bird Qingluan, it can travel a thousand miles a day, bringing vitality to wherever it goes.

There is only this short record.

Li Chang'an then asked himself the two questions Tianxuan had listed.

Golden particles floated and circled for a while before giving a single word: No.

Tianxuan stared intently at the golden particles, and after seeing the word "no," her gaze gently fell on Li Chang'an.

This book can answer any question according to its owner's wishes, which is undoubtedly an excellent thing. If the cultivators knew that such a book existed, they would probably fight to the death for it.

Fortunately, Li Chang'an's cultivation has now broken through to the Golden Core stage, and he is fully capable of protecting it.

Fortunately, it was Li Chang'an who inherited the Xuanling Immortal Mountain and obtained this book.

Li Chang'an, unaware of Tianxuan's thoughts, frowned and looked at her, saying, "It seems it's impossible."

“As expected.” Tianxuan smiled. “Xuanling Immortal Mountain has been closed for six thousand years. In those six thousand years, the Cangxuan Realm has undergone earth-shattering changes. If you tell them a certain place name in the Cangxuan Realm today, they definitely won’t be able to find it.”

Li Chang'an stared at the golden "No" character in front of him, lost in thought.

If the spirit kites are simply unfamiliar with the current Cangxuan Realm, then he could train them and take them around to familiarize themselves with the place.

He was worried that there might be another reason behind the word "no"...

In the study, Li Chang'an and Tianxuan both fell silent, while the single-player gamer continued to work diligently, its screen humming.

Tea Essence passed by the window, peeked out, and noticed that something was wrong between the two.

"What are you doing?" Tea Spirit asked, peering out from the window.

Li Chang'an came to his senses and briefly explained that he wanted the spirit kite to deliver the goods.

Tea Essence was shocked: "But those stupid birds can't tell directions!"

Li Chang'an: ! !

"What?!"

The tea spirit said, "Those stupid birds used to get lost as soon as they flew out of Wolu Mountain. They were so stupid that they just kept flying and flying, saying they would always fly back. As a result, the mountain god always had to go out to look for them, and sometimes it would take a very long time."

Tea Spirit shrugged: "Later, not long after I gained sentience, the Mountain God found a very powerful person to plant the Spirit Iris Tree. Firstly, to provide them with a place to live, and secondly, that person left special spiritual power on the Spirit Iris Tree. As long as that special spiritual power is there, the clumsy birds can find their way home when they fly out to play."

Ever since he gained sentience, the mountain god has often spoken to him, always telling him stories of the spirit kite with a mix of amusement and exasperation, which has made him remember the spirit kite's story exceptionally clearly.

Li Chang'an rubbed his forehead.

So it turns out there's another reason behind the word "no".

He never imagined that the spirit kites, capable of traveling a thousand miles a day, would be directionally challenged!

If we let them fly out, they'll only know the direction of home. How will they get to the delivery location?

"...Then what should we do?" Li Chang'an looked at Tianxuan.

The two looked into each other's eyes and saw a sense of helplessness in each other's eyes.

This is not a problem that can be solved simply by training.

The kites cannot distinguish directions; even if they are equipped with navigation systems, they still cannot find their way around.

Wait, navigation...

Li Chang'an's eyes widened suddenly, and he clenched his right fist and slammed it into his left palm: "Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to guide the spirit kites?"

If you can't tell which way is east, west, south, or north, then at least you can find the right route, right?

Just like today's map navigation software, there are accurate route connections between the origin and destination, and users just need to follow the route.

Thinking of this, Li Chang'an took the basic manual and asked about his thoughts.

The golden particles quickly formed a sentence:

【Guiding Talisman】: A low-level talisman that points the way and is essential for travel.

Using this guide talisman is also very simple. Just draw the talisman on the back of the paper with the location written on it, and the paper will turn into a stream of light to guide the way.

But today alone, we have about 100,000 orders.

Li Chang'an picked up a stack of express delivery slips and drew a talisman in the air with his sword.

A golden guiding talisman formed in the air. With a wave of his hand, the talisman transformed into a golden stream of light and entered the stack of express delivery slips. With a flash of golden light, a guiding talisman was faintly visible on the back of each express delivery slip.

It seems that it's not necessary to draw a symbol on every delivery slip.

Li Chang'an nodded in satisfaction.

That's how easily the problem was solved.

At dusk, a flock of kites were drinking and playing by the Ningjing River.

The setting sun dyed the river surface orange-red, and some birds flew low across the river, their claws occasionally touching the water, creating ripples.

Li Chang'an stood at his doorstep, watching from afar.

Before the sacrifice at Mount Wolu, the entire Xuanling Immortal Mountain consisted only of him, the Black Sword, and the Sword Spirit.

Now there are more fungi during the day, and more kites drinking and playing in the evening.

It's become much more lively.

Upon seeing Li Chang'an, the Golden Feathered Spirit Kite gracefully strolled over and said, "The entire Spirit Kite clan comprises 20,000 adult birds, awaiting your command."

Twenty thousand, that's a lot.

Li Chang'an smiled and nodded.

The next day, all the cardboard boxes that Li Chang'an had ordered arrived.

He used the mountain god's antlers to harvest the vegetables from the field and stored them in the warehouse.

The warehouse that Tianxuan designed was located at the exit of the bamboo forest, to the right of his house.

The warehouse and Li Chang'an's house are in the same style, occupying only 300 square meters, and both are two stories high.

There were dozens of wooden or bamboo boxes in the warehouse, which Li Chang'an made in his spare time after finishing the house, to categorize and store vegetables.

Each box contains a spatial array diagram. What appears to be only one cubic meter on the surface actually contains twenty cubic meters of internal space.

It has the same capacity as a Tier 1 storage bag.

Early in the morning, the mushroom spirits drank the water from the Ningjing River and then lined up at the warehouse entrance. They took a delivery slip and a cardboard box from Tianxuan and the tea spirit. They knew how much they needed just by listening to them read it once. Then, according to the requirements on the delivery slip, they took out the corresponding weight of vegetables and put them into the cardboard box along with the delivery slip.

They learned from Li Chang'an how much a pound would be, and with their own spiritual power and the intuition that comes with being plants, they could tell how much the vegetables weighed without weighing them.

Li Chang'an was responsible for sealing the cardboard boxes, attaching labels, and then distributing them to the spirit kites.

These cardboard boxes are too big and too heavy, but the spirit birds will use their own spiritual power to support them, so they don't feel anything at all.

At the entrance to Xuanling Immortal Mountain, golden light shone brightly, and streaks of golden light emerged.

Immediately afterwards, the beautiful blue birds flapped their wings and flew out of the "door" at the entrance, each carrying a cardboard box on its back with their spiritual power.

Before them, a dazzling golden light, like a winding, endless path, guided them in their direction.
