Due to the current state of the Core Formation Realm cultivator's remains being the only ones of their kind.

It's difficult for the rabbits to determine Mo Peidong's realm before death by comparing skeletal details.

There are a few Tier Three Demon Beasts equivalent to Core Formation Realm cultivators.

But the structure of demon beasts and humans is entirely different, and aside from both absorbing spiritual energy, their cultivation methods share no common ground.

Therefore, not to mention Tier Three Demon Beasts, even Tier Four Demon Beasts cannot be compared horizontally with cultivators.

Moreover, the Wei Family knows very little about the situation after the Core Formation Realm, so Lin Li naturally turned his gaze to the Purple Treasure Pavilion in Ziqiong City.

Previously, Yang Bolin and the rabbits reached a very important trade agreement, which involved exchanging the Floating Array Technique for communication technology.

Almost three months have passed since then.

The rabbits' equipment has recently been allocated and transported, ready to set off for Ziqiong City for delivery.

Therefore, Lin Li plans to have Zeng Gu Cheng and Ma Ning take Mo Peidong's Golden Core along for identification during their trip to determine Mo Peidong's realm before death.

As for whether Yang Bolin would harbor malicious intentions of coveting it, Lin Li isn't worried in the slightest.

Mo Peidong's Golden Core has long been weathered for over a hundred years and now has no practical value beyond collection.

To put it bluntly.

Given Ziqiong City's current trade relationship with the rabbits, not to mention a weathered and ineffective Golden Core.

Even a freshly extracted Ninth-Layer Core Formation Golden Core wouldn't spark much greed in Yang Bolin.

After all, a Golden Core is not a Nascent Soul; the two are on completely different levels of value.

As for why Lin Li is so persistent in determining Mo Peidong's cultivation level before death, it is naturally to further confirm the characteristics of the black spiritual energy.

Some students might find it strange:

Why do the rabbits persist in studying the black spiritual energy even though they know it has issues?

The reason is simple:

Studying something doesn't mean using it; the essence of research is to explore the detailed principles of the material.

Cultivators and demon beasts in the Damo Realm clearly have no good method for dealing with the black spiritual energy, so the black spiritual energy is certainly more harmful than beneficial to the creatures of the Damo Realm.

But the rabbits look at things differently; their homeland is a tech-oriented world.

Not saying which is better or worse, the modes of exploring things and the foundations of the worlds are entirely different.

For example, the isolation barrier in the Mo Family's secret chamber.

Mo Peidong couldn't overcome its limitations until his death, and even theoretically, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator would struggle with it.

Yet the rabbits solved the problem in just a few hours.

Who knows if the black spiritual energy might be a similar case?

Anyway, there's no harm in trying; if it really proves impossible, they can just seal it away.

If they can eliminate the bad parts of the black spiritual energy, the remaining parts could once again speed up the warriors' cultivation.

Of course.

The above statements are all based on the fact that Mo Peidong indeed was a Ninth-Layer Core Formation Realm cultivator.

Thus, determining the realm of the Golden Core has become the pressing task at hand.

......

A week later.

On the native land, February 3, 2023.

The second batch of the trade delegation, led by Deputy Leader Zeng Gu Cheng and Ma Ning of the Fire Camp, officially set off.

Compared to the first trade delegation.

This time there are more people in the trade delegation, but their purpose is much clearer.

After all, there is only one core trade task:

Exchanging communication equipment for the Floating Array Technique.

One other thing worth mentioning is...

This time, the rabbits are relatively more flamboyant, bringing along many gains from the Xiaolianzi battle.

Their cargo includes not only Tier One and Tier Two materials.

But also parts of the Tier Three Stick Insect Demon Beast's body, and non-essential parts of other Tier Three Demon Beasts.

After all, this is the Damo Realm, and the value of mutual trade is not low, so showing some strength is necessary.

It's been over four months since the Xiaolianzi Mountain battle, and the level of confidentiality is no longer as high as before.

In fact, the Command had already prepared for Yang Bolin to figure out the details of the extermination battle through various clues when estimating his actions.

After all, having seen the power of the Happy Stick and the Type 56, it wouldn't be difficult for Yang Bolin to compare the traces on site and infer the answer.

At the time, the rabbits even drafted a series of plans to counter Yang Bolin's dispatched scouts.

Yet strangely enough...

It is now over two months past the latest deadline predicted by the think tank.

Yang Bolin has shown no signs of mentioning the Xiaolianzi Mountain battle.

And despite Luo Xiaotai, a tool character, gobbling up some demon beast remains in the Xiaolianzi Mountain battle.

In reality, the rabbits still brought back a significant number of demon beasts.

It's true the rabbits are incurable hoarders, but their symptoms also depend on the situation.

A portion of the demon beast materials the rabbits possess holds little value, so rather than occupying the inventory, it's better to trade them for Spirit Stones to buy talisman materials.

Given the recent surge in the prices of demon beast materials in the Damo Realm, selling them is only profitable.

Thus, after some deliberation, the rabbits decided.

To clear out the inventory.

Compared to the first trade delegation, Ma Ning and Zeng Gu Cheng seem much more at ease this time.

Firstly, because Gu Junming and the others' current intelligence system is relatively complete.

Ma Ning and the others' task is to sell demon beast materials and exchange them for the Floating Array Technique, with no intelligence gathering requirements.

Secondly, there's less to worry about in terms of safety.

This is the advantage of having a strong backing.

Whether on the native land or in the Damo Realm, as long as you have strong support, you can even have a newscaster with a soft voice be as brave as a hero in a nest of poison. (Here's a recommendation for an uploader, Liu Xiaoqian, you can search for him on the Bilibili platform.)

This time, the total number of people in the trade delegation exceeded three hundred, with over two hundred being logistics and security personnel, the rest being technical workers responsible for installing base stations and antenna arrays.

Once everything was ready.

The trade delegation officially set off at 9 a.m., native time, February 3, 2023.

Since Chixian City is quite a distance from Ziqiong City, this trade delegation also adopted the plan of passing through Linyuan City as a transit point and traveling by flying ship.

Unlike the first time, however.

This time the Purple Treasure Pavilion specially arranged an additional flying ship for the exclusive transportation of native personnel.

Moreover, the quarters Ma Ning and the others stayed in were no longer like cramped green carriages but elegantly decorated single rooms.

This flying ship didn't require transfers at other cities, resembling a direct express and took less than a day to arrive outside Ziqiong City.

As soon as they disembarked from the flying ship.

Ma Ning was greeted by Gu Junming and a pile of Spirit Stones... ah no, with Yang Bolin.

Yang Bolin looked very enthusiastic at that moment, obviously profiting quite a bit from the previous two Happy Stick transactions.

Upon seeing everyone disembark, Yang Bolin proactively approached.

"Shopkeeper Ma, long time no see, everything well?"

Perhaps to cater to the rabbits' 'habits', Yang Bolin deliberately used the vocabulary Wang Qiang taught him this time:

"Onii-chan has already prepared the feast and has been waiting at home for quite some time."

Ma Ning: "....."
