540: Chapter 540 Apology!!

"Destination, Taixuan City?"

The grey-robed Disciple glanced at the information displayed on the device and looked up at Qin Yan with some surprise.

Taixuan City was very close to Taixuan Holy Land; with a Martial Artist's speed, it would only take half an hour to arrive.

Most people wouldn't waste a precious taixuan point and would instead choose to travel on foot.

After all, it was indeed a bit of a pity to spend a taixuan point like this.

Qin Yan nodded without offering much explanation.

He didn't want to do this either.

However, for his own safety, he had no choice.

Every spaceship within the Taixuan Holy Land was guarded by powerful experts from the Holy Land.

The purpose was to ensure the safety and convenience of the Disciples' travels.

Taking a spaceship to Taixuan City guaranteed his safety.

The grey-robed Disciple said nothing more and stepped aside to let Qin Yan board the spaceship.

He had long since grown accustomed to seeing all sorts of strange people with all kinds of odd requests.

Qin Yan walked onto the spaceship and looked around, finding that there were already quite a few people inside.

The cabin wasn't large, with only dozens of seats, and more than half were already occupied.

However, he didn't recognize any of these people.

Qin Yan simply found a window seat and sat down quietly, waiting for the spaceship to depart.

Outside the window, sunlight spilled onto the docks, reflecting off the spaceships and giant vessels, which shimmered with a dazzling light.

Half an hour later.

"Hum—"

A sudden vibration came from the spaceship.

Immediately after, a layer of profound-colored barrier lit up around it. The barrier was as thin as a cicada's wing yet radiated an indestructible aura, protecting the entire spaceship tightly.

Then, the spaceship slowly took off, first lifting slightly off the ground and then gradually ascending, so steady that almost no bumps could be felt.

After reaching a high altitude, the spaceship suddenly accelerated, turning into a streak of profound light as it sped toward the distance!

Qin Yan stood by the spaceship's porthole as clouds zipped past his eyes, moving so fast they were a complete blur.

The mountains and rivers in the distance receded rapidly in his vision, like a revolving lantern.

The ground beneath him turned into blurred blocks of color in an instant.

Qin Yan couldn't help but marvel; the speed of this spaceship was truly on another level.

It was much faster than traveling by himself!

Even flying at full power, it would take him at least half an hour to get from the Holy Land to Taixuan City, while the spaceship would likely take only fifteen minutes.

Moreover, sitting on the spaceship required no consumption of True Qi, making it easy and comfortable.

"When I have money in the future, I'll buy a spaceship too!"

Qin Yan thought to himself.

With a spaceship, he could not only save a lot of travel time but also conserve True Qi. It was faster than him, so why wouldn't he want one?

He could go wherever he wanted, whenever he wanted, with total freedom.

The only drawback was that it might cost some resources.

Spaceships needed Ore to start, and they were major resource consumers.

Before long, the grey-robed Disciple came to Qin Yan and reminded him:

"We've arrived at Taixuan City."

Hearing this, Qin Yan looked out the window and indeed saw Taixuan City ahead.

The massive city shimmered with golden light under the setting sun, looking majestic and grand.

Qin Yan offered his thanks, then circulated his True Qi and flew toward Taixuan City.

After entering Taixuan City, Qin Yan relaxed.

Taixuan City had a rule that fighting was not allowed within the city. Once you fought, the City Lord's Mansion might invite you to sit in their prison.

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion were all at the Sixth Rank or above.

For serious cases involving murder, the consequences were even more severe.

At best, one's cultivation would be crippled; at worst, one would be executed immediately.

This rule had been enforced in Taixuan City for thousands of years, and no one had ever dared to challenge it.

Therefore, upon entering Taixuan City, Qin Yan was essentially safe.

He crossed several bustling streets and soon arrived at the Tiangang Arena, returning to his room through the exclusive passage.

"Young Master, you're back."

Seeing Qin Yan, Zhuer greeted him warmly with a sweet smile on her face.

She was holding a cup of hot tea, clearly prepared in advance.

Qin Yan nodded, took a sip of the tea, and then asked if anything had happened during his absence.

After learning that nothing had happened, Qin Yan felt relieved and picked up his long spear to continue his training.

His progress with the Five Elements Primordial Scripture had now reached 48%!

He had now mastered nine types of dual-attribute Fusion—Metal-Wood, Metal-Water, Metal-Fire, Metal-Earth, Wood-Fire, Wood-Earth, Water-Fire, Water-Earth, and Fire-Earth—missing only Wood-Water to master them all!

He estimated that when he raised the progress of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture to 50%, it would be the day of his Perfection in dual-attribute Fusion.

At that time, he could begin pursuing triple-attribute Fusion.

And once he could initiate triple-attribute Fusion, it would mean the Five Elements Primordial Scripture had reached a new level.

Then, he could start working on a Breakthrough to become a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist.

Thinking of this, Qin Yan trained even more seriously.

The long spear danced, spear shadows layered upon each other, and the Nirvana Spear Intent flowed through the room.

The next day, November 26th.

Qin Yan was training, his Spear Intent cold and sharp as he swung the long spear.

Suddenly, Zhuer's voice came from outside the door.

"Young Master, someone is looking for you."

"Someone is looking for me?"

Qin Yan was confused and stopped the long spear in his hand.

In Taixuan City, the number of people he knew could be counted on one hand. Who would come looking for him?

"Who is it?"

"The person said his name is Xing Yu and that he's here to offer you an apology."

Xing Yu? An apology?

Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, and the image of the Prodigy he had defeated in the arena surfaced in his mind.

That proud and conceited young man who had used his ultimate move right from the start. He was here to apologize?

What was this Xing Yu up to?

"Take me there."

After a moment's thought, Qin Yan decided to meet him.

Led by Zhuer, Qin Yan passed through several corridors and soon arrived at a quiet reception room.

The room wasn't large but was elegantly decorated, with a few chairs, a coffee table, and several calligraphy paintings hanging on the walls.

At this moment, two figures were standing in the room.

One young, one old.

The young one was indeed Xing Yu.

He wore a silver robe and had a handsome face; currently, he stood proudly in the center of the room, his brow slightly furrowed as if he were deep in thought.

His gaze flickered toward the door from time to time, carrying a hint of complex emotion.

The older one was the elder who had been by Xing Yu's side that day—Elder Qin.

He wore a grey robe and had a calm expression, standing quietly behind Xing Yu like a statue.

When he saw Qin Yan appear at the door, a complex look flashed in Xing Yu's eyes.

In that look, there was resentment, humiliation, helplessness, and a bit of resignation.

But he quickly composed himself.

"Young Master Qin Yan, you've come."

Xing Yu immediately stepped forward to Qin Yan and spoke in a respectful tone.

That respectful attitude was a world apart from how he had been in the arena.
