With sufficient funds in hand, Feng Chou began to purchase the materials needed for Qiankun Pagoda's next upgrade.
Qiankun Pagoda's next upgrade was estimated to require a large number of high-level magical materials. Although Qiankun Pagoda could not calculate the materials needed because he had not mastered all the high-level magical knowledge, Feng Chou decided to buy all the high-level materials he could find. It did not matter if he spent more money since he had sufficient funds now.
Golden Harbor was rich in resources, especially mineral materials. It was even richer than Stormwind City. This was all thanks to the goblins' advanced mining techniques. Golden Harbor's similar materials were also much cheaper than the Northern Continent's. This was all thanks to the goblins' advanced mining and smelting techniques.
By the time Feng Chou had purchased all the advanced alchemy materials he could find in the market of Golden Harbor, the fleet led by the old captain and Captain Haddock had also arrived at Golden Harbor.
Feng Chou, Captain Haddock, and the old captain split up and purchased a large number of crude black iron, crude arcanite, and other goods to fill up the remaining cargo space on the merchant ships.
When the seven fully-loaded merchant ships left Golden Harbor, Feng Chou also teleported away.
With the former Blackwater Pirate Captain Haddock, as well as the powerful Pioneer Knight and Warrior, Feng Chou felt that it would not be a problem for his fleet to pass through the Blackwater Pirates' waters.
This time, Feng Chou's destination was Alvindale City.
Once again, Feng Chou arrived at Alvindale City in a familiar rental carriage and arrived at the Arcane Market.
He arrived at a famous high-end Arcane Market and planned to purchase a large spatial ring.
The spatial ring on his hand was given to him by the High Elf Princess when she gave him the spell materials. It was just an ordinary spatial ring measuring 5 x 5 x 5 meters.
It was not worth it to use such a spatial ring for long-distance trade unless it was for top-grade items.
It was a waste to use Qiankun Pagoda all the time to cheat.
In the past, Feng Chou did not have enough money to buy a large spatial ring. Now that he had enough money, he planned to buy a large spatial ring.
An ordinary spatial ring measuring 5 x 5 x 5 meters would cost about five million crowns.
A large spatial ring measuring 10 x 10 meters would cost 40 million crowns!
However, Feng Chou was rich this time. He spent 320 million crowns to buy a large spatial ring measuring 20 x 20 meters.
Spatial rings were similar to engineering constructs. They were not military goods, so there were no restrictions on the buyer.
After purchasing the spatial ring, Feng Chou went to a few large arcane market shops in the Arcane Market to buy some magical materials that were unique to the Moradin.
Next, Feng Chou teleported to the west coast's Maledice Port, Brooke Port, Cenarius, and Stormwind City to purchase high-grade magical materials from the Dark Forest, Underdark Region, Emerald Forest, and Sutton Empire.
In the end, Feng Chou went to the island nations on the east coast and purchased a lot of marine magic materials that were local specialties of the island nations.
After this round, the 1.5 billion crowns that Feng Chou had just received was almost gone. Fortunately, he had left himself nearly a thousand sets of + 5 magical equipment as reserve funds.
Finally, Feng Chou returned to the luxurious suite of the Golden Port Deepwater Hotel.
He paid the hotel a large sum of money to rent this luxurious suite all year round. After that, he left the hotel and teleported back to Manta Harbor.
Feng Chou set his destination as the Seventh Princess' private harbor.
When Priestess Ella saw Feng Chou, she couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. Feng Chou had been gone for more than a month, and Priestess Ella was a little worried about whether he could fulfill his promise.
Under the pressure of the First Princess's forces, the Seventh Princess had no choice but to exchange the three thousand sets of + 5 magical equipment in her hands for the handwritten copies of the magical materials that Feng Chou needed from the Queen. If Feng Chou couldn't fulfill his promise, then the Seventh Princess's efforts would be in vain.
Of course, if that was the case, Feng Chou would lose out the most. He would lose three thousand sets of + 5 magical equipment for nothing.
After hearing Feng Chou say that he had brought the promised two thousand sets of + 5 magical equipment, Priestess Ella immediately brought Feng Chou to the Manta Governor's Mansion.
After meeting the Seventh Princess, Feng Chou didn't waste any time. He immediately took out the two thousand sets of + 5 magical equipment that were tailor-made for the Amazon Warriors from his spatial ring.
After the Seventh Princess ordered someone to check the goods, she didn't go back on her words. She immediately took out hundreds of large wooden boxes filled with magical materials from her spatial ring.
Feng Chou pretended to take out a few magic books from the boxes to check. In fact, Qiankun Pagoda had taken the opportunity to make copies of all the magic books in these boxes. He quickly concluded that the probability of these magic books being authentic was very high, close to 99%.
Hearing Qiankun Pagoda's conclusion, Feng Chou immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although after a series of tests, Feng Chou felt that the Seventh Princess was quite trustworthy, after all, one could never judge a book by its cover. He couldn't be sure that he could really get the magical materials until the last moment.
Now that he had finally gotten what he wanted, Feng Chou couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
In order not to arouse suspicion, Feng Chou seriously checked three books from each box. He spent more than an hour in total. However, no one in the hall, including the Seventh Princess, expressed any impatience. After all, this was a huge deal worth more than two hundred million gold sols. Even if Feng Chou spent a few days checking each book, no one would find it strange.
Feng Chou confirmed that these magic books were authentic, and once again expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the Seventh Princess.
Feng Chou's politeness made the Seventh Princess feel a little embarrassed. In fact, exchanging five thousand sets of + 5 magical equipment for these materials was a rather ridiculous price in the Southern Continent. Even a deal with a cunning devil wouldn't cost so much money.
This made the Seventh Princess, who was the middleman, feel a little guilty. She didn't expect Feng Chou to not only not mind, but also be so polite. This made the Seventh Princess feel even more embarrassed.
However, no matter how embarrassed the Seventh Princess was, she wouldn't forget to make Feng Chou sign a confidentiality agreement.
But what the Seventh Princess didn't know was that Feng Chou had already copied the magic books into the Qiankun Pagoda, and even turned them over to the Reincarnation Mirror. These magic books copied with the copying spell had no value other than the knowledge recorded. After Feng Chou received them, he would completely destroy them. He wouldn't even look at them himself, let alone leak them to others. Therefore, no matter how strict the confidentiality agreement was, it was no problem for Feng Chou at all.
The Great Wizard under the Seventh Princess quickly summoned the projection of a Greater Devil of the level of a Lesser Lord. Under the witness of this Greater Devil, Feng Chou cooperated and signed the confidentiality agreement.
After signing the confidentiality agreement, Feng Chou put the magic books into the Space Ring. After making an agreement with the Seventh Princess that when his fleet came to the Southern Continent again, he would still sell all the goods to her trading company. After that, Feng Chou couldn't wait to teleport away.
This time, Feng Chou was directly teleported to the platform outside Elsela's dragon cave on Green Dragon Island.
It wasn't that Feng Chou didn't want to teleport to Elsera's Dragon Cave, but there was a simple Dimensional Lock Magic Circle in the Dragon Cave. This was the most basic measure for dragons to avoid being beheaded.
The large platform at the entrance of the Dragon Cave was the most heavily guarded place in the Dragon Cave. In the past, there were only a few dozen Green Dragons outside Elsera's Dragon Cave. Now, there were hundreds of fully armed Green Dragons standing guard on the platform alone.
After these Green Dragons felt the fluctuation of the teleportation spell, they were first shocked and made defensive preparations. However, when they saw that it was Feng Chou who was teleporting, they all bowed and watched him walk straight into the Dragon Cave.
