326 Upgrading the Two-Way Teleportation Gate
She put the thought aside for the moment.
Right now, she only had one spatial treasure. If the magic could strengthen it so that it could cover longer distances, it wouldn’t entirely be a waste.
The underground world was a land of treasures. The resources she had obtained recently from there had allowed her to develop her territory to the extreme. She now had more understanding of the type of resources found in the underground world and how to get them.
Su Wan and Xu Yuan discussed for a while and chose to strengthen the two-way portal.
The hollow crystal ball shattered and fused into the two mini arch doors in Su Wan’s hands. Many inscriptions appeared on the mini arch doors.
As the light dissipated, a system notification appeared.
[Two-way Teleportation Gate has been strengthened!]
Su Wan opened the attribute panel to check again. She smiled.
[Two-way Teleportation Gate]
[Level: SS]
[Special Characteristics: A pair of two-way portals can be placed within 100 kilometers.]
[Note: Extremely rare treasure.]
Su Wan was delighted. She let the mini door fall from her hands. A huge door materialized in front of her. The opening had something like a water curtain that glowed with fluorescent light.
Su Wan reached out to touch it and could feel some resistance. She needed to place another door to be able to pass through.
Su Wan went with Xu Yuan to place the other mini door in the underground area. They flew to the underground world and placed the mini door in a tunnel.
After the portal was placed, Su Wan and Xu Yuan stepped through the portal in the tunnel and appeared in the territory.
They appeared in the area where the Dark Withered Treants stood tall. Xu Yuan placed protective barriers around the area. They didn’t need to worry too much. If any enemy tried to enter the territory, they would have to pass through the Dark Swamp first.

Canglan City, Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce, Main Hall.
Nami sat at the head of a long wooden table in her luxurious evening gown. She looked elegant and graceful. Her gaze and her demeanor had a certain authority that nobody dared to provoke.
“President Nami, many Oracle Lords have mysteriously disappeared. Their territories are shielded by a terrifying power. It’s impossible to enter.” The middle-aged man sitting at the end of the long table stood up to report his findings.
Some Oracle Lords had reappeared. When the man had asked them about those who hadn’t returned yet, he got a strange answer.
The sudden disappearance of the Lords had a huge impact on the world.
Although most of them were not as strong and influential, such phenomena attracted significant attention, and with good reason. Something was wrong and they all felt threatened.
As the president of the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce in Canglan City, Nami was no exception.
“Find out more about it,” she said. “Report back to me if you find anything new.”
Although the Lords were often unpredictable, they had extraordinary potential. The Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce often recruited them.
Nami thought about Lord Su Wan, who traded honey with the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce. The Hundred Night Flower Honey was coveted by many.
This was the first time President Nami had tasted something so delicious. It was nothing like she had ever seen before.
The trade with Su Wan was what had convinced Nami of the potential of the Lords, and she decided to recruit them to work for her.
She recalled Zorro telling her that the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce did not have the right to recruit Su Wan and invite her to Canglan City.
‘Was Zorro exaggerating, or did the Lord really have the strength to resist them?’ thought Nami with a smile on her lips.
“President Nami, Her Highness, Baylon, requests an audience!” The room fell silent as everyone stared at her.
“This meeting is adjourned,” said Nami as she dismissed everyone.
The officials didn’t waste any time. They got up, bowed to her, and left.
Soon, a woman with a silver crown on her head appeared in the hall. Her radiance seemed to brighten up the whole room.
“Sister Nami…” The woman stepped forward and greeted President Nami.
She gestured to another woman beside her. “This is Tristana, the eldest daughter of the Frost Wolf, Grand Duke of the Ice Empire. ”
“It’s an honor to meet you, President Nami,” said the woman in a blue dress.
Nami nodded to her in acknowledgment. “Welcome, Miss Tristana. I hope you will have a pleasant stay in Canglan City.”
“Sister Nami, Tristana is not an outsider. She is a friend of the Imperial Royal Academy.” Baylon laughed.
Nami’s smile widened in familiarity.
“President Nami, you’re my inspiration,” said Tristana. “You became the president of Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce at the age of seventeen! You only took a year to set your footing until everyone recognized your authority. That’s amazing!”
“Miss Tristana, it’s very kind of you to say so. Baylon will show you around Canglan City, I hope.”
“Tristana isn’t here for a vacation.” Baylon smiled sweetly. She turned to Tristana. “It’s okay. You can tell Sister Nami about what you said before.”
