"Yes, yes." Tang Qian nodded repeatedly.
“However, the new teleportation platform has a drawback for the Tang family,” Bai Qingqing said.
"Drawbacks?" Tang Qian was taken aback and asked, "What drawbacks?"
Such an amazing teleportation platform, does it have any drawbacks?
Everyone looked up at Bai Qingqing.
With a sense of bewilderment.
“The new teleportation station will no longer be monopolized by the Tang family, and the Tang family’s profits will probably be much less in the future,” Bai Qingqing explained.
"There's...there's even a profit?" Tang Qian stared wide-eyed at Bai Qingqing in disbelief.
How could he possibly dream of profiting from the teleportation platform that the gentleman had built?
When the topic was first brought up, he naturally gave up all the benefits of the Tang family's teleportation platform.
As for the Tang family's future sources of income...
There are so many other industries too.
Moreover, with the Star Moon Sect backing them, the Tang family will only grow stronger in the future.
What does temporary gain or loss matter?
Moreover, it was for the sake of the gentleman.
“To build a new teleportation platform, I need the Tang family’s help, which would be considered a collaboration. Since it’s a collaboration, there will naturally be benefits,” Bai Qingqing said with a smile.
This is the solution she just came up with.
The Tang family will provide the necessary ice-white stones and some manpower to run errands.
This way, the Tang family can get a share.
However, the profits will definitely be much less than when the Tang family had a monopoly.
"My Tang family is willing to serve you, sir, and we don't care about the amount of compensation," Tang Qian said with a smile.
She can both serve her husband and benefit her family.
There are such good things in the world!
Everyone else looked at Tang Qian with envy; this old man Tang was truly lucky.
"Then let's split it 50/50," Bai Qingqing said.
"Fifty-five?" Tang Qian's eyes widened, and her voice involuntarily rose a few decibels.
"If Chief Tang thinks it's too little, then..."
“Not too much, not too little.” Tang Qian hurriedly stood up and waved his hand, saying, “I think a 50/50 split is too much for the Tang family.”
He hadn't originally planned to split the profits.
"Not much." Bai Qingqing smiled. "Since Chief Tang has no objections, let's split it 50/50."
She has no interest in earning spirit stones or anything like that.
If it weren't for the fear of putting too much pressure on Tang Qian, she would have no problem with a score of 19.
After all, her goal was to spend spirit stones and eventually empty Xiao Hao's pockets.
"I will do as you say, sir." Tang Qian cupped his hands and said, "May I ask what kind of magical treasures are needed to build the new teleportation platform?"
Such a teleportation platform must require extraordinary materials.
I wonder if the Tang family has it in their treasure trove.
If not, he would send people to search in all the forbidden areas; he must not miss the opportunity.
"Just prepare more ice-white stones," Bai Qingqing said.
As Bai Qingqing finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
Zheng Siwen accidentally knocked over her teacup. (Friendly reminder: One of the ten people looking after the vegetable garden, see Chapter 184 for details)
"Yes, I'm sorry." Zheng Siwen hurriedly straightened the teacup, thankfully there wasn't much tea left in it.
"Did you get burned?" Bai Qingqing asked with concern.
"No." Zheng Siwen hurriedly shook her head.
"Sir, what did you just say you wanted to prepare more of?" Tang Qian asked, snapping out of his reverie.
He suspected he had just hallucinated.
Ice white stone is an extremely ordinary stone; even people with a bit of cultural refinement would consider it too low-class to use it for building houses.
To put it simply, the mountain body of Tianhen Mountain is made of ice-white stone.
Even ordinary people can easily chop off a few pieces with a machete.
So, it must be an auditory hallucination.
“Ice White Stone,” Bai Qingqing repeated.
Tang Qian frowned and subconsciously rubbed her ears. How could she be addicted to auditory hallucinations?
"You heard me right, all we need is ice white stone." Bai Qingqing smiled. "Prepare a larger, flatter one, it will look nicer."
"What size do you need, sir?" Tang Qian asked hurriedly.
“Each piece should be three zhang square and two chi thick,” Bai Qingqing said after thinking for a moment.
This should be easy for cultivators.
"Okay." Tang Qian nodded immediately.
“I plan to build it in ten nearby towns first, and only two or three pieces are needed for each location,” Bai Qingqing said.
"Don't worry, sir, it will be done in a day," Tang Qian said, patting his chest.
It's just a matter of cutting a few pieces of ice white stone; a flick of the finger is all it takes.
But the white quartz that the gentleman needs must be the best.
He decided to personally lead a team to retrieve the stone core.
Every mountain has more than one core; the longer the mountain range, the more cores it forms.
Tianhen Mountain has at least hundreds or thousands of them.
Moreover, even after the core is removed, a new core will grow over the years.
It had no impact on the mountains whatsoever.
However, the process of extracting the stone core is very troublesome and requires a lot of magical treasures.
If it's a high-grade stone heart, then it's certainly worth it.
But this icy white stone...
It's really not worth it.
But since it's what the gentleman needs, it's all worth it.
"Then I'll have to trouble Clan Chief Tang," Bai Qingqing said with a smile, taking a sip of tea.
Thankfully, Xiao Hao had worked hard to build up his public image before.
The effects are only immediately noticeable when something happens.
The revenge for my maternal grandparents has been taken, the Cuju (ancient Chinese football) tournament is about to begin, and the treasure-collecting ceremony and the creation of the teleportation station are also on the agenda.
Everything is going smoothly, that's good.
After having dinner in the courtyard, everyone dispersed.
Bai Qingqing always goes to bed early.
But today is an exception.
She stayed in the study, quietly waiting for midnight to arrive.
According to her deal with Xiao Hao, this power could only be maintained until midnight, after which it would be automatically reclaimed.
Midnight is fast approaching.
Bai Qingqing looked left and right, but didn't sense anything unusual.
"Xiao Hao, has the power been recovered?" Bai Qingqing asked.
After a long while, Xiao Hao weakly replied, "It has been retrieved."
She is truly weak.
Bai Qingqing almost didn't hear it.
"Xiao Hao, are you alright?" Bai Qingqing asked with concern, her eyes filled with worry.
"Power borrowing works like this. Host, don't worry. As long as I spend spirit stones properly, I'll recover soon," Xiao Hao said weakly.
"Don't worry, the spirit stones will be spent soon," Bai Qingqing immediately assured her.
“Of course I trust the host.” Xiao Hao smiled.
"Then you should rest well." Bai Qingqing felt a warmth in her heart.
Since she transmigrated here, Xiao Hao has really done a lot for her, and has fallen into a state of weakness several times.
In the future, she must work hard to complete the mission and become stronger together with Xiao Hao.
Xiao Hao was surprised to find that there was an extra bonus.
Surprisingly, it ignited the owner's fighting spirit.
I'm both happy and worried.
The good news is that the more effort the master puts into spending spirit stones, the faster he can repair the spiritual veins and laws of this world.
Then the owner's original nature will return faster.
The worry is that once the master's true nature returns, their memories will gradually return as well, and then...
Xiao Hao didn't dare to think any further.
