Chapter 136 It's been a long time since we've had gold.
One night, Han Dongling watched in astonishment as her cultivation level broke through from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level, then to the middle stage of Qi Refining, and then continued to break through the fifth and sixth levels until it finally stopped at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, just one step away from the Foundation Establishment stage.
Han Dongling also discovered the wonders of the crystal core this time. Moreover, because the concentration of spiritual energy here was high, her meridians were quickly widened after using the crystal core, and the speed at which she absorbed spiritual energy rapidly entered her body after absorbing the crystal core.
As the sun rose on the horizon, the first rays of sunlight fell upon the earth. Looking at the devastation ahead, Han Dongling made a decision: she would establish a base and then do business with other bases, exchanging resources for crystal cores.
She will also recruit those who want to join her base, but she will conduct a screening process when recruiting survivors. The most basic requirement is that those who have eaten human flesh cannot be accepted.
However, if she were to exchange crystal cores with other bases, her supplies wouldn't last long, so she needed to discuss this with Ning Xuan and first determine if Ning Xuan could provide that many supplies.
When Ning Xuan received Han Dongling's message, her first reaction was that Han Dongling was about to rise to become a powerful figure in the apocalypse. Moreover, she had broken through so many minor realms in one night, going directly from the early stage of Qi Refining to the late stage of Qi Refining, and almost reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. What kind of rocket speed was that?
[I can exchange resources and base resources for crystal cores in the future, which should yield more than if I farmed for crystal cores alone.]
Ning Xuan agreed with Han Dongling's words, but she still needed to ask Lin Yuhan.
However, she suddenly remembered that Han Dongling had been trading crystal cores lately and hadn't had any gold in a long time, so she asked Han Dongling:
"Are you out of gold over there? You could dig up more gold; I can use it for purchasing purposes."
Han Dongling scratched her head. "I don't have any right now. Gold isn't worth much here; I'd have to go find some."
Ning Xuan looked at it and remembered something good, exclaiming that she had completely forgotten about it.
[I'll give you this later, a potion for seeing through things. You can use it to search for buried resources while you're farming crystal cores. If you see gold or jewelry, don't miss out on digging it up!]
There was also a diving talisman. Ning Xuan remembered that during her second transaction with Han Dongling, she needed an assault boat to escape from the water. At that time, she had forgotten about the diving talisman, otherwise she would have just gotten one directly.
However, she then realized that the diving talisman only allowed people to breathe freely underwater, but it was not waterproof. The water where Han Dongling was located seemed to be polluted, so the speedboat was safer.
She simply looked through all her talismans and potions again, intending to choose some that Han Dongling could use later.
Seeing the growth potion, she suddenly had another idea.
She planned to trade more growth potions with Katerina's side, and then have Wang Erya acquire a plot of land to use the growth potions to accelerate the growth of crops.
Let her collect one batch every day; that should be enough to supply Han Dongling's side. This will reduce the purchasing pressure on Lin Yuhan's side. After all, constantly running around to purchase grain isn't very efficient, and it could cause trouble if something unnecessary happens.
We can have Lin Yuhan buy a tiller and a harvester, and then have Wang Erya learn them by downloading some videos. She needs to learn these first, otherwise it will be troublesome for her to farm and harvest rice all by herself.
As for Yunxi, she hadn't asked her yet whether the mortals there ate a lot of food, or if she could buy some for her too. She didn't believe that Han Dongling's side couldn't supply enough.
Moreover, in the post-apocalyptic world, the current mode is survival. People aren't focused on eating well or in large quantities; just surviving is already a great achievement.
Ning Xuan wrote down all her thoughts one by one, and then sent messages to them one by one.
First, I asked Lin Yuhan to help me buy a tiller and a harvester, and then I asked her to download relevant instructional videos. I also asked her to buy more seeds while I was at it.
Once Lin Yuhan has finished her business, we'll trade it to Wang Erya and see if she can learn it. Once she has, we'll talk about farming.
Next, he sent a message to Yunxi, asking her about the types of food that mortals could eat.
When Yunxi received Ningxuan's message, she was guarding the teleportation array to other continents. This was specially set up between several continents, and the location was fixed. Each time it was opened, it cost 10,000 high-grade spirit stones, which was quite expensive.
Fortunately, the teleportation array can transport 50 people at a time, so in order to save on travel expenses, most cultivators will wait until there are 50 people and then split the travel costs before starting the teleportation.
Currently, including Yunxi, there are 20 people waiting here, which is still more than half short. Yunxi continued to wait while replying to Ningxuan's messages.
Yes, there are some, but you'll need to go to a market town where mortals gather. Some novice cultivators there can't afford spirit rice and will eat mortal food as a temporary measure. I'll buy some more for you later.
Speaking of spirit rice, Yunxi suddenly remembered that since Ningxuan had already started cultivating, she could also eat spirit rice. Yunxi planned to buy some spirit rice for her when the time came.
Ning Xuan thanked Yun Xi profusely, then added, "Besides rice, wheat, and millet, anything that can fill our stomachs and has a high yield is also acceptable."
Yunxi immediately thought of several low-level demonic beasts that were relatively docile and large in size, which mortals could eat. However, it was not advisable to eat too much at once, but eating about a pound a day was fine because the spiritual energy contained in the meat of these demonic beasts was very low.
She replied to Ning Xuan, "There are a few kinds of demonic beasts that would fit your needs, such as horned beasts, hairy sheep, big-eared boars... These are low-level demonic beasts here. They are relatively docile and easy to catch. They are also large in size. However, because the spiritual energy contained in their bodies is very low, cultivators are unwilling to go to the trouble of catching them, and they don't fetch a good price in the market."
If you happen to come across one, I can catch a few for you. Aside from the strong, gamey taste of the woolly sheep, the rest is alright.
In fact, these kinds of demonic beasts are the type that cultivators don't think much of, and mortals can't catch them themselves. In addition, they live in groups, so their numbers are quite good, and they can be seen often.
Ning Xuan and Yun Xi pre-ordered food and low-level demonic beasts.
Just as they finished speaking, they had gathered 50 people at the teleportation array. They split the cost of the teleportation array and gave it to the manager in charge, who then activated the teleportation array.
Filled with curiosity about other continents, Yunxi stepped onto the ultra-long-distance teleportation array.
