Traveling a thousand miles a day! Cultivation on the Jade Flying Boat

Gu Zheng's flying treasure was a Ink Jade Flying Boat. Compared to Lin Yuan's light feather boat, this was a genuine Magic Treasure.

When flying, its speed was incredibly fast, at least three times faster than the light feather boat.

Moreover, its interior space was vast and elegantly furnished for comfort, with not only a tea table and soft couch but even a quiet room for rest.

It only needed Spirit Stones to be embedded and the direction calibrated to fly on its own.

Gu Zheng sat barefoot on the soft couch, a simple dress loosely draped over her, revealing a stretch of fair, fragrant shoulder. Her usually cold face was now tinged with a captivating blush as she personally brewed tea for Lin Yuan. Her movements, full of a unique charm, stirred Lin Yuan's heart.

"It's about a two to three-day journey to Tianyuan City. You... rest first." Her voice was soft, no longer as clear and crisp as usual, and when her phoenix eyes glanced at Lin Yuan, they held a hint of shyness and tenderness.

Lin Yuan had no mind for tea. He looked at the stunning beauty who had just been completely conquered by him, his heart burning.

"Tea is not as refreshing as Senior Sister."

He chuckled, took a big stride forward, leaned in and whispered into her ear, his hot breath caressing her earlobe: "Senior Sister's injuries have just healed, and your Foundation is not yet stable; you need to consolidate it. This husband's unique healing method, Yin and Yang harmony, has remarkable effects. How about... we do it again?"

Gu Zheng's pretty face instantly flushed crimson. She reached out and lightly punched him, but the force was so gentle it was more like coquetry.

"You're so improper..."

Lin Yuan was also tired, but it was four hundred attribute points at a time; this was much better than drinking tea.

Lin Yuan stepped forward directly and picked her up... The Ink Jade Flying Boat sped through the sky, but its hull began to sway rhythmically up and down, leaving a strange, wave-like streak of light in the sky.

A thousand li in a day.

Lin Yuan looked at the four hundred attribute points added to his panel and felt quite satisfied.

Just then, Gu Zheng, who was controlling the flying boat, suddenly formed a hand seal, and the flying boat slowly stopped, hovering in mid-air.

Lin Yuan also noticed the anomaly.

Not far away, on an unremarkable small mountain peak, Spiritual Qi surged but was forcibly bound by some power, creating an extremely discordant scene.

"What's going on?" Lin Yuan asked.

Gu Zheng shook her head, her delicate brows slightly furrowed: "The Spiritual Qi fluctuations there are very strange; they seem violent but are tightly suppressed. Even with my Divine Sense, I can't discern the truth within."

"This is already deep within Zhao Kingdom, not far from Tianyuan City. There shouldn't be any danger, let's go down and take a look!" Lin Yuan said, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.

Gu Zheng tidied her clothes, covering the captivating marks all over her body, and controlled the Ink Jade Flying Boat to slowly descend.

"No, there's a very powerful Restriction laid here!" Before even getting close, Lin Yuan noticed the clues.

His gaze fell on the unremarkable small mountain peak, and his Divine Sense spread out like invisible tentacles, carefully probing every inch of the land.

"This Formation is very clever; it's a composite grand Formation. The outer layer is an Aura-Concealing Formation, the inner layer is an Illusion Formation, and there seems to be a Killing Formation fluctuating at its core. The Formation setter has contained all the Spiritual Qi fluctuations of the entire mountain peak within it. If not for the current intense internal Spiritual Qi fluctuations, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator passing by probably wouldn't notice it." A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Gu Zheng's phoenix eyes also showed a hint of solemnity upon hearing this.

To be able to lay such a Formation so silently deep within Zhao Kingdom, it was either a passing expert or... there was some shady business afoot.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment. With his current attainment as a Third-Grade Array Master, breaking this Formation wouldn't be difficult, but silently infiltrating it would require some thought.

He chose not to break it by force but walked around the mountain peak once, his fingertips occasionally drawing in the air, deducing the Formation's operational trajectory. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he stopped in front of an inconspicuous pile of rocks.

"This is it, one of the Formation's energy nodes, and also its weakest point."

He pointed his fingers like a sword, a faint wisp of magical power swirling around his fingertips. With a peculiar rhythm, he continuously tapped seven times in the Void Realm, each time precisely hitting the gaps in the Spiritual Qi flow.

"Buzz..."

The space in front of them emitted an almost inaudible tremor. The protective light barrier, which had been perfectly seamless, was indeed torn open by him, creating a narrow gap just wide enough for one person to pass through.

"Go, stick close to me, don't wander off, step in my footprints, this Formation is strange." Lin Yuan warned, and was the first to step in.

Gu Zheng followed closely, carefully stepping inside.

The scene inside the Formation was no different from the outside; it was still an ordinary mountain forest, but the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the air was several times richer than outside.

"What an exquisite Illusion Formation, it perfectly blends with the surrounding environment." Gu Zheng couldn't help but praise.

As she was curiously looking around, the Formation suddenly seemed to sense the unique aura of her Xuan Yin Sect Cultivation Technique, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi abruptly changed.

"Oh no!" Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

She felt a cold power envelop her out of nowhere, and the scene before her suddenly shifted. Lin Yuan's figure instantly disappeared, leaving only endless mist around her. No matter how she urged her Divine Sense, she couldn't extend it more than three feet, as if she had fallen into an independent space generated specifically for her Cultivation Technique's attribute.

"Lin Yuan?" She tentatively called out, but her voice was like a stone sinking into the sea, receiving no response.

On the other side, Lin Yuan immediately noticed Gu Zheng's abnormality.

"Tsk, this Formation can actually automatically identify the invader's Cultivation Technique attribute and separate people. It's quite something." He thought to himself, but he wasn't flustered.

This was just the Formation's inherent bewildering effect, without any killing power. With Gu Zheng's cultivation, although she wouldn't be able to get out for a while, she wouldn't be in danger.

This was also convenient for him to act alone.

He no longer delayed, concealing all his aura, operating the Illusion Transformation Art to its maximum, and quietly made his way towards the depths of the mountain belly, following the source of the Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

Soon, a crude cave entrance covered by vines appeared before him.

Inside the cave, the Spiritual Qi had almost materialized into a white mist, astonishingly dense. At the center of the white mist, a huge light cocoon quietly floated, emitting a sacred and majestic life force.

The moment he saw this light cocoon, Lin Yuan's pupils sharply contracted.

This scene, he was all too familiar with! Back in Demon Falling Valley, Yue Qingyao had swallowed a nirvana pill, and the light cocoon formed during her healing was identical to the one before him.

Lin Yuan cautiously extended his Divine Sense into the light cocoon, and a faintly discernible, exquisitely beautiful figure appeared.

White clothes like snow, a slender figure.

If it wasn't that crazy woman Yue Qingyao, who else could it be?

Lin Yuan felt all the hairs on his body stand on end with a "whoosh," and a chill shot up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

What a coincidence!

He instinctively wanted to turn and run.

"No!" He suddenly stopped, a struggle flashing in his eyes, "During this process of taking the nirvana pill to heal, she has no perception of the outside world. Her Divine Sense will only recover after the healing is complete! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
