15 Plane Connection

The principle behind the construction of the altar was to use all sorts of spiritual materials to build a "Magical Signal Transmitter". In Lin Xiaowei's world, there were various types of spiritual materials—secret silver, devil's iron, dragon's blood mines, and so on.

However, the spiritual energy on Earth was not strong. Anyway, Li Yao had lived for so many years and never once saw any "magical materials".

Of course, this did not prove to be a challenge to the all-able Lin Xiaowei.

To delve into its essential nature, the so-called magical materials were no more than objects that contained special energy. Even if the spiritual energy on earth was insufficient to produce minerals like secret silver, there was still spiritual energy around. Li Yao was now a magician. He could feel and direct spiritual energy. This made things easier… Since he had no magical materials, he would make them himself!

The original materials were all sorts of gems.

Gems naturally shared an affinity with spiritual energy. Li Yao had tested and confirmed that the better the gemstone, the higher the affinity!

Lin Xiaowei: "So, youngster, work hard to collect the gems!"

Li Yao glared so intensely at his phone that his eyeballs almost dropped. "Are the gemstones from your family rocks? Are they mass supplied?"

He had already digested the design blueprint of the plane altar. A nine-layer magic circle needed to be inscribed onto the rectangular altar, which measured three feet long on each side. It had to be layered one by one. Not considering the various magical stones needed to decorate it, even the obsidian, which was the most fundamental for the magic circle, was expensive too.

How much would that cost?!

He would go bankrupt!

Lin Xiaowei sent a smiling emoji over. "Me, the magician. I burn money!"

Li Yao: "…"

Right, all magicians were wealthy.

They had a different occupation from the druids, warriors, and priests. The power of the magician came from his own training and exploration of the world. The deeper the exploration of the world, the more power the magician held.

And acts of exploration were conducted through experiments.

Anyone who had done research knew that…

There was nothing more expensive than conducting experiments.

Furthermore, you might not even hear any results from the most costly experiments. Perhaps one might hear a "boom" sound from a huge fart.

Hence, Lin Xiaowei consoled him. "Don't worry. When you keep burning money… You get used to it."

Li Yao: "…"

Lin Xiaowei: "Don't be petty, youngster. Broaden your mind. Poor people who don't bear to spend money will become even poorer. Take a risk, and your bicycle might become a motorcycle!"

Ha.

Instinctively, Li Yao wanted to rebuke her. However, after some thinking, he realized that she was speaking sense.

He saw a similar explanation on Weibo—an incapable rich second-generation heir only knew how to play around. His parents had vast social connections and indulged in his playfulness, allowing him to expand his social circle. Afterward, whenever there were opportunities to become rich, they would call investors to come on board, with him acting as the middle-man. There were successes and failures. In a few years, he earned tens of thousands of dollars just by himself. However, a timid old researcher in a research unit had contributed to research for tens of years and merely accumulated four or five hundred thousand dollars after retirement.

The world was never fair.

It was illogical and unreasonable.

Just like how cheating and winning money in Macau was not a long-term plan, it was indeed his life's first bucket of gold. It came relatively easily.

While he needed to burn money now, after this time, if he could build his own production line and depend on the materials and alchemy recipes that Lin Xiaowei sent over, it was not a problem for him to build his career and earn big bucks.

The logic was like that.

But he still did not feel good.

Li Yao: "I don't care. You owe me one!"

Lin Xiaowei: "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility." Smiling-and-smoking.jpg

Li Yao: "…I'll break your skull apart!"

Lin Xiaowei: "Hahaha, Okay. I'm in a good mood. When you finish this successfully, I'll send you an attack spell. It's an advancing spell modified by the legendary magician~~ Do you want it? Hm? Baby! Come and tell me, do you want it?"

Li Yao: "Oh."

After saying that, he disconnected!

I spoiled you!

But, I really want it…

By its name, the plane altar sounded very lofty. However, the production process was not complicated. It was just that the gemstones were hard to settle. Luckily, he was rich now and no longer had to do anything personally. He directly looked for a local jewelry firm. After negotiating with their manager and paying a deposit of three hundred thousand dollars, all the gems that Li Yao needed were settled.

There were no storylines of him pretending to be poor before giving them a big reality slap in the face.

The staff at the jewelry firm were very professional, okay?

They did not care if you could afford it. They would let you pay the deposit first. Once the money was there, everything could be negotiated!

This made Li Yao extremely disappointed. Indeed, all the stories in the city novels were fake!

Oh, but there were novels that told of car-buying experiences. One of the salesmen pretended to be evil while the other salesmen pretended to be nice. It was more common to increase the probability of successful sales like that… Tsk, the city was full of traps.

A week after paying the deposit, the jewelry firm shipped all the gems Li Yao needed to the specified location. The delivery was free. The manager of the jewelry firm confirmed the final bill personally—three million and twenty thousand dollars were gone just like that.

Li Yao rented a warehouse in the country outskirts and bought some machines. He started his work…

The gemstones were divided into four types:

The "Round Diamond" represented solid substances and had the Earth symbol.

The "Sapphire" represented active energy and had the Fire symbol.

The "Antarcticite" represented eternal time and had the Water symbol.

The "Alexandrite" represented the fourth dimension and had the Wind symbol.

With the obsidian as the foundation, every layer of the magic circle had twelve "Four-phase gems" decorating it. There were a total of nine layers, thus requiring four hundred and thirty-two gemstones. At the center of the altar, there were twelve inlaid quality diamonds… Their purity was the best source of transmission.

After half a month of burning the midnight oil, Li Yao finally finished the plane altar!

This was a tough job!

It was really tiring to make the gems magical.

Li Yao's eyes were almost blurry from hugging these gems every day. If only the gems could become women… But their hardness… Oh, could any guy bear them? Furthermore, if the gems became women, you might not even afford your wife's figurines.

Those wealthy guys who could afford figurines made out of gemstones could definitely bear it!

Looking at the plane altar that had been stacked up by the gemstones, Li Yao let out a long breath.

If any woman saw this, she might go crazy.

Women were all evil dragons. They liked shiny and sparkling stones.

Now, Li Yao wanted to use this pile of gems—these stones that could make women go crazy—to set off some fireworks.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Xiaowei. "I used more than three million dollars to set off fireworks for you. Happy birthday."

Today was Lin Xiaowei's birthday.

It was also the reason why Li Yao stayed up late to finish the altar today.

Lin Xiaowei, who was far away in the alternate universe, felt her eyes become warmer. So it was her birthday today on Earth… Although the rate of time in this world was similar to Earth's, it was not a parallel movement to transmigrate through timelines. She arrived at the earlier portion of this world's timeline, so when she managed to reconnect to Earth, only more than ten days passed on Earth.

Luckily, only more than ten days passed!

She had not been forgotten yet. Those people whom she cherished were still around! Furthermore, she had never forgotten anything.

Hence, she must return to Earth.

And give everyone whom she missed daily a huge, deep hug!

That was why she was willing to take the risk and use the magical tower to locate Earth's coordinates.

She replied. "Thank you."

Li Yao smiled. He injected spiritual power into the plane altar, igniting the signal transmitter in the magic circle!

Whoosh!

The altar immediately radiated bright light. The four-colored spiritual light flickered rapidly at a particular frequency like traffic lights. It immediately gave this old, run-down warehouse a hype atmosphere of a cheesy nightclub… Li Yao's eyes were almost going blind!

—The magician who designed this was definitely someone who went to the discos!

Lin Xiaowei, far away in the alternate universe, also activated the magical tower's wave detection device. After keying in a specific frequency, the detection crystals in the magical tower started shining rapidly. Copious amounts of spiritual light poured out and shot towards the vast, limitless multiverse… to look for the specific frequency.

Lin Xiaowei's spiritual consciousness was embedded in the central crystal of the magic tower. As the detection waves radiated into the distance, her spiritual power was rapidly consumed …

Her face became pale quickly. The pain of her spiritual energy being squashed was like countless awls pricking his brain!

How painful!

However, she would not give up. When her mental energy had almost dried up, she went to consume power potions. After consuming the power potions, she used the spiritual energy within her phone storage!

Finally, the waves radiated by the plane altar were received by the magical tower's wave detector!

Lin Xiaowei regained her spirit and started operating the magical tower's control center with both of her hands:

"Plane coordinate anchoring, accurate to within ten meters… Confirm! Inter-plane material transfer begins… Do not count the energy consumed… Confirm! … Confirm! Transfer!"

Lin Xiaowei bent down painfully. On the brink of breaking down, she had finally finished the operation!

The spiritual light started flashing rapidly. The materials, which had been prepared long ago, were sent out via the plane transmission circle…

"Stop the plane wave detection activity. Cut off the reading of the operation center record by the Magic Association! Save the exploration record…" Lin Xiaowei endured her severe headache and continued to operate the center. While she operated it, she meditated to replenish her spiritual energy. It was too risky this time. Her soul had been damaged to a certain extent. She should have asked her teacher to have a look so that there would not be any devastating effects. After her headache diminished, she used the memory spell to inscribe the string of coordinates into the depths of her brain. Finally, she deleted it!

"Okay, it's alright now."

After she removed all of her tracks, Lin Xiaowei let out a long breath of relief. She left the core control room of the magical tower secretly.

Not long after Lin Xiaowei left, a space door appeared in the core control room. A man, wearing a luxurious robe and immaculately dressed, walked out. He waves his hands casually, and a screen constructed by spiritual light appeared before him. Looking at the data on it, the man revealed a playful smile: "Oh, coordinates for a new world. This is interesting."
