Chapter 1713: Chapter 992: Intelligence Sharing (2)

A very unclean place, perhaps because of its unique name, the lowest layer is likely the true Abyss.

“Indeed, the curse is deepening, and in the depths, time becomes chaotic and jumbled. It’s quite surprising that ordinary people can venture into it…”

Tao Yu stood at the edge of the pit leading directly to the Abyss, where he could faintly sense the aura of the Evil God below, and looked down in amazement.

However, the Abyss’ curse in this place usually only triggers when moving upwards. In the first few layers, it’s just nosebleeds, dizziness, serious injuries, and the like that might force one to retreat, but going further down leaves no return path.

Yet, even so, there are still adventurers eager to venture in, believing it hides countless secrets and treasures, and might even bring about Longevity and fulfill all wishes.

“Wow, quite abstract.”

Tao Yu casually sat at the edge of the giant pit, gestured with a wave of his hand, and a tea table appeared beside him. A puppet then emerged and started brewing Enlightenment Tea.

Huang Yao cautiously tended nearby; even the slightest fragrance of tea that reached him gave his mind a sense of clarity, and many ingenious ideas emerged, as if the techniques he learned in the past were automatically improving.

It shocked him, even though he knew from Tao Yu’s direct conversation with Taihe that this seemingly ordinary yet unpretentious young man was incredibly distinguished.

But the concept of a True God was too distant. Just smelling the tea caused such changes, he truly felt what a Divine Spirit is!

“By the way, do you still have caravans going to the Nephite Realm? Are you heading to the Outer Sea? You only have one Saint, don’t you?”

Originally, Tao Yu was just killing time while waiting. If not for the strange pit here, he would have gone to play with the Elves in the forest.

His consciousness had merely freed up some computation power, which wasn’t much different.

While casually chatting with Huang Yao during his inspection of the surrounding world, he had already learned some intriguing information.

The Huang Family, although possessing a Saint, only has one, yet they have experience in trading with the Nephite Realm.

Theoretically, a Catastrophe Level could reach the Nephite Realm by following the Dao Mark, but the risks of the Outer Sea are considerably higher than the Inner Sea. A single Catastrophe Level can manage by itself, but for transporting goods, a Saintly Position usually oversees the situation.

“Actually, we mainly collect items needed by the Nephite Realm, and they send fleets over to pick up the goods. It’s because our ancestors incidentally formed a friendship with a merchant from the Nephite Realm. The profits aren’t high; we just make some hard-earned money.”

Huang Yao was quite candid; this world is very pragmatic. If the profits from this trade route held by the Huang Family were substantial, it likely wouldn’t be entirely under their control.

Now, except for paying taxes to Glazed City, the remaining profits are fully controlled by the Huang Family, albeit the profits are modest, something their family can manage.

However, a caravan strong enough to come from the Outer Sea, choosing the Huang Family as a supplier, piqued Tao Yu’s interest.

“What do they collect from you?”

“They collect many strange items, changing with each visit. This time, they’re seeking basic materials with spatial attributes, preferably a variety.”

Huang Yao earnestly explained that whenever the Nephite Realm’s caravans announced what they needed, the Huang Family would inform all members. If they encountered such materials in Abyssal Fragments, they should pay attention, so Huang Yao was quite knowledgeable about this…

“Spatial attributes.”

Tao Yu pondered momentarily. Spatial attribute stones were precious to his past self. The Old Development Area of Starshine City only controlled one such mine.

Some refined stones from there could be used to create space equipment.

Similar to those ammunition spaces of mechanical modifications, many were crafted using the mine’s resources.

However, to Tao Yu now, the ability to effortlessly establish small worlds and use Will to condense simple consistent spaces made space stones mere goods for exchanging Yuan Force.

“Common space equipment is often disrupted or even damaged in the Endless Sea, with the deeper the penetration, the greater the impact. Collecting space stones over here must be for some other reason, probably gathering the Dao Mark information of this world…”

Tao Yu quickly deduced a likely theory, akin to how the mundane world collects water pattern information in certain sea areas, gathering geographical and mapping data.

Places producing space stones usually bear some unique Dao Mark imprints as well.

Currently, a defensive alliance exists between the Current World and the Nephite Realm, yet it’s normal for allies to investigate and probe each other.

“Previously, the Nephite Realm even recruited people from the interior for expeditions. It was primarily for mutual benefits, and currently, cooperation for mutual gain remains advantageous. Such information gathering is mostly a form of advanced preparation.”

The Nephite Realm’s recruiting efforts being semi-public are actually quite apparent.

“Your people have arrived, prepare to set up the teleportation device for positioning.”

After finishing his Enlightenment Tea, Tao Yu casually tossed the used tea leaves to Huang Yao.

“You can’t handle the complete ones, these residue fragments, chopped finely, dissolve half a fingernail-sized powder into ten liters of water. You can take a small cup when facing bottlenecks, but don’t consume it two days in a row.”

“Thank you, Your Grace, for the benevolence!”

Huang Yao didn’t expect such a fortune, his face filled with overwhelming joy, barely containing his excitement.
