441: Striving to cross, striving to cross

Hum—

Immediately after, there was a blinding white light.

Even though there were certain Formations in the tian-character room of the spirit boat, the white light was dazzling; it was a "torture" one had to endure when traveling by spirit boat.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes.

He eased himself for a moment.

He looked at Shen Jinhuan, then at Xiaobai.

This human and this beast hadn't blinked at all; they weren't affected by the intense light in the slightest.

Jiang Ning was astonished.

Shen Jinhuan said, "My Body Refining definitely includes my eyes, so this intense light is nothing to me. It is also thanks to the method Revered Master taught me back then; otherwise, my Body Refining might have had flaws."

Jiang Ning was surprised, "What method? How come I don't know about it?"

Shen Jinhuan said softly, "Has Revered Master already forgotten the little days we spent on the Sixth Peak of the Bixiao Sect?

When I was doing Body Tempering, you prepared a medicinal bath for me and told me to submerge my head as well. Other Cultivators always left their heads out when taking medicinal baths, so their Body Tempering wasn't comprehensive.

Later, when I was doing Body Refining, I thought of Revered Master's words, and when I took medicinal baths, I would submerge my head as well.

That is why my eyes are also stronger than those of ordinary Body Cultivators."

Jiang Ning: ...

Xiaobai smiled and said, "My eyes can see through all laws; what is a mere intense light compared to that?"

Jiang Ning nodded.

Indeed, he had almost forgotten about the Celestial Fox's talent.

However, when Jiang Ning wasn't paying attention, Xiaobai's eyes were red, and tears were streaming down.

Intense light has nothing to do with seeing through all laws.

She simply saw that Shen Jinhuan hadn't blinked and wanted to show off too.

Xiaohui stood to the side, feeling that Xiaobai's image at this moment was truly magnificent.

This is a top-tier Spirit Beast!

There wasn't time to say much more.

Xiaobai and the others were distracted by the outside world again.

"Revered Master, are you saying that this whole area, this huge region, is the docking area for the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty?!"

"And over there in the distance, look, there are spirit boats flying there!"

"And over there too!"

Shen Jinhuan didn't say anything, but the shock in her eyes could not be hidden.

Jiang Ning said, "It's not just this large area nearby; the entire city is used to receive space spirit boats.

The spirit boats of the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty can travel to very distant places. This city, named Du City, is the largest transportation hub in the entire Great Qian Immortal Dynasty. If you want to go to a far-off place, you have to come here.

If you want to go to more remote places, you also need to come here to transfer.

Du City has ordinary spirit boat businesses to facilitate everyone reaching their destinations as quickly as possible after getting off the space spirit boats.

Of course, you can also stroll around and take a look at Du City, because Du City has many good things.

Almost everything here is a crystallization of wisdom, and one could say they are the 'specialties' of the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty."

Jiang Ning really wanted to say that this place could actually be thought of as a high-speed railway station.

After getting off the high-speed rail, there are places nearby selling food and specialties, as well as areas specifically for transferring to taxis, buses, and private cars.

Xiaobai couldn't wait to pull Jiang Ning down to stroll around Du City.

"Let's go get some good things!"

"I don't recommend buying things here."

Jiang Ning rubbed Xiaobai's fluffy head, "Although the things here are good, the prices are several times higher than elsewhere. This place is only suitable for wealthy people and those in emergencies to shop.

Let's forget it.

The Imperial Capital has everything found here."

Xiaobai nodded.

Everyone had come from poverty, especially the young girl, who had spent a very destitute time with Jiang Ning.

She was very good at managing life.

When the space spirit boat finally came to a complete stop.

The manager on the spirit boat used a Spiritual Artifact that could amplify sound to guide the Cultivators on the spirit boat to disembark.

Jiang Ning waved his hand and put Xiaobai and Xiaohui into his Small World.

Jiang Ning took Shen Jinhuan's hand and walked downstairs.

After getting off the space spirit boat.

Immediately, there were attendants shouting to sell vacant spots on connecting spirit boats.

These attendants were just like the unlicensed taxis at the entrances of train stations back home, heading to various regions.

The Great Qian Chamber of Commerce monopolizes most of the business in the Great Qian, but they only act as the leader; they still leave a lot of the market for the various Noble Families and powerful clans to feed on.

This is the art of imperial governance.

In Jiang Ning's view, there's nothing special about the emperor giving away business; when he's short on money, he just chops off a few heads, and the deposits previously placed with other Noble Families are recovered with interest, aren't they?

Every family is involved in these spirit boat businesses.

Jiang Ning chose the one with the best cost-performance ratio.

The attendant waited for a dozen or so people and led everyone toward the area where the spirit boats were docked.

As the attendant walked, he introduced the Imperial City. In his tone, there was the pride of living in the Imperial City; even if one were a slave or servant in the Imperial City, one would still look down on people from other places.

Jiang Ning transmitted his voice to Shen Jinhuan: "Huanhuan, now that we have arrived at the Imperial City, although our cultivation is enough to protect ourselves, it's not considered impressive. For the sake of safety, let's address each other as sister and brother, understand?"

Shen Jinhuan: "Understood."

The gazes of the group were indeed all focused on Jiang Ning and the other two.

No other reason; Shen Jinhuan was just too beautiful.

Nineteen-year-old Shen Jinhuan was like a blossoming flower, opening up little by little in a gorgeous direction.

A Male Cultivator stepped forward, glanced at Jiang Ning, and asked, "This Fellow Daoist, may I ask who the person you are holding is?"

Shen Jinhuan glanced at the other person, thought for a moment, and said, "My son, what about it?"

The Male Cultivator shook his head and didn't speak again.

Jiang Ning was anxious, "I told you to pretend to be my elder sister, how did you end up becoming my mother!"

Shen Jinhuan responded very reasonably, "Revered Master, people in the Great Qian Imperial City have high cultivation and many devious thoughts. Just in this short while, the Male Cultivator in the blue clothes on the left has looked at me five times.

The Male Cultivator in front, holding a folding fan and pretending to be a refined gentleman, has turned his head back three times pretending to have business.

The bearded Male Cultivator on the right has looked at me six times.

Someone behind ran up and turned back to look at me once...

The places they are focusing on are my face, chest, waist, legs..."

"Stop!"

Jiang Ning hurriedly interrupted Shen Jinhuan's words.

He had long realized that Shen Jinhuan was also a peerless beauty.

The two of them using such an identity could indeed cover things up a bit.

After Shen Jinhuan said that, many Male Cultivators lowered their heads, secretly feeling it a pity that the fresh flower had been plucked by someone else in advance and had not fallen into their own hands; it was truly a regrettable matter.

But that didn't completely stop such things.

Several Male Cultivators who hadn't been very interested in Shen Jinhuan suddenly became excited, and some even came up to strike up a conversation.

Jiang Ning knew that there would be Cao Cao-like people everywhere.

Young married women just happen to be their preference.

Shen Jinhuan remained cold and didn't speak, and the number of people who didn't know how to take a hint became fewer and fewer.

But Shen Jinhuan couldn't just gouge out other people's eyes.

The attendant felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward. In fact, he had also looked at Shen Jinhuan several times. Just now, while shouting, he had thought that if this Fairy could ride his spirit boat, he wouldn't even mind not taking any Spirit Stones.

He smiled and said, "Let me recommend a few more fun places in the Imperial City for everyone..."
