"It’s not high-end at all." Hu Xiansheng spoke in excitement, "I have invested over two million merit points for that research. Student Su, I am willing to give you thirty percent of the shares for only four hundred thousand merit points. What do you think about that? Student Su, think about it. Imagine being a part of the team that has created the Great Spatial Transportation Formation."

The old man continued speaking in excitement, "How long do you need to take to reach Great Xia's capital from here? Three days at the fastest! A Couldbreach would require two days while a Mountainsea would require one day. A Sunmoon would require half a day. Even an Invincible would take two or three hours to travel this far. That's a total waste of time. But imagine having a formation that can send someone over in only three seconds!"

Hu Xiansheng emphasized, "Three seconds! Additionally, there are three portals connecting the Human Realm with the Allheaven Battlefield. But you need at least three to five days to reach the nearest portal from Great Ming. But with our formation, even if we need multiple formations to cover the distance, we won't take more than one minute!

"Imagine a fee of a hundred merit points for a single teleportation. That's cheap, right? And how many people are there in the Human Realm? How big is the daily flow of traffic in the Human Realm each day? Even if we only get ten thousand customers per day, we stand to earn a million merit points each day! After deducting the costs, we will earn at least three hundred merit points in profit each day!

"If we can earn that much in a day, how much can we earn in a year? And what if we spread our formations to the Allheaven Battlefield as well? Heavens! Just imagine it! The military would probably go wild with joy! They would pay us billions for our formations!"

"..."

What a beautiful dream. Alas, Su Yu couldn't take that dream seriously. This old man should keep a big business like that to himself. Su Yu was most certainly not interested in it.

Hu Xiansheng seemed to have guessed what Su Yu was thinking. He smiled and said, "I know what everyone thinks about me. Do you think I'm dreaming after hearing aboutfrom the others? Hehe, I'm not dreaming at all. No matter what, I'm a seventh-stage Mountainsea. I'm not stupid."

Having said that, he took out two small doors.

He tossed one at Su Yu and said, "Take it."

Su Yu looked at the small door with astonishment.

Then, Hu Xiansheng moved about thirty meters away with the other door in hand.

"Don't blink."

Hu Xiansheng said in excitement, "Remember to not blink!"

A bottle appeared in his hand. Then, he opened the door and pushed the bottle inside. The door in Su Yu's hands shook. Noticing that, his eyes flickered as he opened the door.

Beyond the door, the bottle appeared. He raised his head and looked at Hu Xiansheng in shock.

Holy shit!

Teleportation?

Fixed teleportation?

Hu Xiansheng laughed heartily and asked, "What do you think? Are you shocked? It's not that I have no results. My result is simply not good enough. I'm currently faced with two issues. Firstly, the range is too short. Secondly, I can't transport living beings yet."

"But this is the nature of research. We can't complete everything with a single step. Over the years, I have spent a million merit points, but I do have something to show for it. Speople are simply jealous of me. They have been starting rumors about me, accusingof burning money away for a hopeless endeavor. But is that true?

"The moment I succeed, everyone in Great Ming's multiple character faction will be living a good life with me. And we don't even have that many people left. Including the both of us, we only have 58 people in total." "But after we get rich, we can recruit 580 or even 5,800 members!"

Su Yu wasn't too surprised. Zhu Tiandao had already told him that the multiple character faction had around fifty to sixty members. That was a lot better than Great Xia's multiple character faction.

And this was a faction that only the truly talented ones could join. Even at the peak of Great Xia's multiple character faction, they would only have a few dozen Skysoars at any given time.

Su Yu did not talk about the teleportation formation. Instead, he asked, "How is the strength of our faction, Faculty Head?"

"Not bad." Hu Xiansheng coughed and said, "Excluding the two of us, there are four Cloudbreaches, eight Skysoars, and forty-four Mental Tempering Stage students. Not bad, right?"

Su Yu nodded in agreement. This was actually pretty good.

One Mountainsea and four Skysoars. But all these people combined were probably still weaker than Hong Tan. This was probably one of the reasons the multiple character faction here was left alone. They were simply too weak.

With the allocation of thirty thousand merit points per semester, each member could only obtain around five hundred merit points.

Su Yu could finally believe that this faction was not suppressed here. That was actually quite a generous allocation of funds. For a faction their size, that much money was enough.

Su Yu looked at the door in his hands, thought for a bit, and said, "Faculty Head, I can sense that this door is well-made. But there are more than two issues to solve. How can you maintain the stability during a long-range teleportation? How do you counteract the spatial resistance and ensure the safety of those you are teleporting?"

Su Yu calmly said, "This bottle is no ordinary bottle. It is as hard as an earth-grade weapon. Don't think that I know nothing, Faculty Head. You had only teleported this bottle over a short distance of thirty meters yet a bottle this solid was already vibrating. The spatial resistance was too strong. You won't be able to teleport anyone below the Sunmoon Realm if you don't solve this. And the range is truly too short."

Hu Xiansheng had an awkward expression.

Su Yu continued, "From what I saw, the requirements are too high. You must have used a spatial lock character on these doors. But not everyone has such a character..."

The look in Hu Xiansheng's eyes changed as he hurriedly said, "The character is not a hard requirement. Talismans will do as well. You can even get an expert to control the formation with their willpower."

"I only used my character because it was more convenient. The formation is still feasible without it."

Su Yu nodded and said, "True. There is the option of using talismans."

Hu Xiansheng exhaled in relief.

Good.

Judging from his analysis, this kid clearly knew a lot. But that wasn't a good thing for him since that would make this kid far harder to fool. In fact, Hu Xiansheng had relied on the exact sperformance to borrow a large sum of money before. Unfortunately, he had been using this trick for a few years. Thus, everyone was already aware of his trick and he was unable to secure new loans.

At this time, Su Yu said, "Faculty Head, how much money do you need to complete this research? And how much tdo you think it will take?"

After a slight hesitation, Hu Xiansheng said, "At least five million merit points and a hundred years of research."

He hurriedly added, "But everything is worth it! A hundred years sounds like a long time, but the various prefectures were founded over three hundred years ago. If they had started researching this back then, the research might have been completed long ago. But since nobody was willing to do so, even today, there are still no long-distance teleportations in the Human Realm."

"Are such formations available among the myriad races?"

"Yes." Hu Xiansheng explained, "These formations are present among the divines and the devils. But they are very expensive, requiring spatial stones to serve as the base and an Invincible to stabilize each formation. My research aims to achieve something else entirely. Their design is unsuitable for us. And not even they are capable of setting up these formations in the Allheaven Battlefield. They can only use these formations within their own realms where space is more stable."

Su Yu was surprised. The divines and devils had already developed their own teleportation formations?

Then again, that was understandable. Unlike the human race that had only stepped on the path of cultivation for a few hundred years, the divine and devil races had been cultivating for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

The humans had a decent number of experts, but they still couldn't be compared with the divines and the devils in terms of accumulation.

Hu Xiansheng said, "Su Yu, four hundred thousand merit points for thirty percent shares. It's very cheap!"

"I don't have any money."

"Impossible! The prefect killed so many people and you collected all the merit cards!"

"Great Xia froze all those accounts."

"Fuck!" Hu Xiansheng cursed, "Xia Xiao'er is a bastard! Why did he freeze those accounts? So are you really broke? Wait, didn't you get someone to sell sstuff for a lot of merit points recently? If you only have ten thousand merit points or so, I'm willing to take a smaller investment as well..."

Su Yu said, "I need to save the money for my own research center."

"I thought the prefect agreed to sponsor it?"

"I need the money to buy what I need."

Hu Xiansheng anxiously said, "Con! How about this? You don't need to invest in my research. Instead, I can rent three floors of my research center to you. There are six floors in total. For only ten thousand merit points per year, you can rent half of the floors. You only need to pay forty thousand merit points as a deposit. I can rent you the floors for three years first. I have all sorts of high-end machinery installed there. I also have a powerful Sunmoon defensive formation installed."

Su Yu calmly said, "Faculty Head, you're better off thinking about how you should handle the students during the next semester without Great Ming's fund. Also, after the faculty is taken away by the creditors in two months, the faculty will be shut down."

Hu Xiansheng asked, "You already know that?"

"Yeah."

"..."

Hu Xiansheng was completely speechless.

He felt very dispirited, behaving completely unlike a seventh-stage Mountainsea expert. he said, "Back then, I believed that I could complete this project in a few decades. This project is actually related to your fifth principal. Back then, he was a supporter of my project. He believed that I had a good goal. In his opinion, this is the type of project the geniuses of the multiple character faction should be involved in. Who knows...sigh."

After a long sigh, Hu Xiansheng asked, "Why don't you lendten thousand merit points? The new semester is starting. We can't let our students starve, right? They need willpower texts to form new characters and grow their cultivation as well. And they also need blood essence and source qi for their physical cultivation..."

Everything needed money. Hu Xiansheng didn't know what else he could do.
