12: Giant flying boat

The most exciting part had arrived; Gu Changan removed the Storage Ring from the giant Cultivator's remains.

He discovered that it was over a thousand meters in length, width, and height. Could it be a Magic Treasure Rank Storage Ring?

Of course, the contents were pitifully sparse: a blood-red Jade Slip titled "Blood Refining Star Pivot Technique".

It looked like the Cultivation Technique of the sect the remains belonged to. According to the Treasure Qi feedback, it likely belonged to the Golden Core Stage.

A silver-white Jade Slip titled "Star Pivot Great Formation". Could it be a Formation?

There was also a small blood-red flag. It looked like a Magic Treasure?

The flagpole of the entire flag looked like a human leg bone; it felt like it really was a human leg bone.

The flag surface was woven from golden threads, with blood-red patterns spreading across it.

Holding it in his hand, it was blood-red and bewitching, with Evil Qi surging straight to his crown.

There were also some unknown Ores that Gu Changan couldn't identify for the time being.

He put these things back exactly as they were.

After all, whether it was the Storage Ring or the Magical Artifact, these were not things he could possess right now.

So, they could only gather dust inside the treasure gathering basin.

Gu Changan discovered that the space inside the treasure gathering basin was enormous, so he planned to divide it into several areas to specifically store treasures.

One area for treasures he could use now, such as some Magical Artifacts for good fortune, and so on!

One area for high-Rank treasures he might use later, such as the treasure qi spring eye and that unknown remains.

One area for treasures he didn't need but could generate Treasure Qi.

For example, the collected qi gathering pills, and some unknown Medicinal Pills; Gu Changan didn't have time to identify them one by one right now.

He didn't know if any poison had been added to them, but in any case, Gu Changan didn't dare to eat them.

The last area was for miscellaneous items, such as ordinary medicinal herbs, Ores, and some messy clothes.

When he had time later and had the ability to protect himself, he would deal with these messy things.

Gu Changan picked out a Storage Pouch to use publicly, putting 100 spirit fragments, some ordinary medicinal herbs, and a Mortal-grade weapon and shield inside.

He also took out the Advanced Storage Pouch, loading it with all his Spirit Stones, spirit fragments, and of course, a large pile of top-grade spirit gathering pills.

There was also a long sword Magical Artifact and a shield Magical Artifact.

Just like that, Gu Changan embarked on his journey again.

After spending about three days, he passed through the barrier again and arrived at the familiar Desolate Heaven Small Town.

The first thing he did upon entering the town was to go to the familiar "Yingkelai" restaurant.

He ordered a table full of food and had a big meal.

With thousands of Spirit Stones in his pocket, Gu Changan didn't mind spending three or five of them.

As it turned out, Gu Changan really did hear some unusual news.

Desolate Heaven Small Town actually had an operating flying boat; one could ride it as long as they paid Spirit Stones.

It traveled back and forth between various cities, and of course, the closest one to Desolate Heaven Small Town was Wenxing City.

It was also the cheapest destination!

Many Loose Cultivators needed to attend the Wenxing Grand Ceremony held by the Tianji Pavilion every ten years.

So, it was also a busy time for the flying boat.

A single trip cost about 20 to 30 Spirit Stones; his predecessor would never have been willing to pay for it.

For Gu Changan, who now carried one or two thousand Spirit Stones, it was just a drop in the bucket!

However, he didn't dare to be too exposed, so Gu Changan could only use spirit fragments to pay.

About 30 Spirit Stones was 300 spirit fragments; taking that out wouldn't be particularly high-profile.

After eating, Gu Changan went straight to the flying boat docking point outside the city.

When he arrived, hundreds of people had already gathered there.

Come to think of it, no matter the era, people always liked to join in the excitement.

After waiting for about half an hour, a huge flying boat flew over from the distance.

The flying boat was entirely made of wooden structures, with golden runes flowing on it.

The entire flying boat was about 200 meters long, 50 meters wide, and about 50 meters high.

There were about 5 stories of buildings on the flying boat, two long sails at both ends of the flying boat, and a flag hanging on the roof of the multi-story ship.

There was a huge gold ingot on the flag; this must be the transport fleet of the Treasure Pavilion.

Although Gu Changan couldn't tell the quality of the flying boat, he could judge from the yellow treasure aura on it that the flying boat was likely a huge Magic Treasure.

Gu Changan followed the crowd, paid 300 spirit fragments, and boarded the flying boat.

The auras of the Cultivators on the flying boat were relatively strong; Gu Changan felt like he had entered a zoo.

He felt like he would run into a tiger or a lion not long after walking.

Gu Changan could only act like a little transparent person and hide in a corner.

Listening to everyone's discussion.

"Speaking of which, this Treasure Pavilion is really making money!"

"300 Cultivators per trip, 30 Spirit Stones each, that's 10,000 Spirit Stones!"

"Wenxing City is only 3,000 li away from Desolate Heaven Small Town."

"The Treasure Pavilion can earn 10,000 Spirit Stones in one go?"

"Hey! Keep your voice down. You're discussing this on someone else's ship?"

"Do you not want to live anymore?"

"Can't even talk about it?"

"Anyway, being careful is never wrong!"

"However, their multi-story ship is really good!"

"Not only is there a Golden Core Cultivator guarding it, but there is also a defensive Formation on the entire ship."

"It can not only resist threats in the air, but at the very least, the Golden Core Cultivator guarantees your safety along the way!"

"What you said makes a lot of sense!"

"Besides the construction cost, do you know how many Spirit Stones it takes to build this giant Magic Treasure ship?"

"30 Spirit Stones is cheap for you!"

"That's true too!"

Hearing their conversation, Gu Changan buried his head even lower.

After the giant ship took off, a protective light curtain rose outside, enveloping the entire flying boat, and it began to shuttle through the clouds.

Gu Changan looked down through the flying boat at the endless mountain ranges, lush forests, and occasionally some Mortal kingdoms.

After about an hour of travel, the flying boat began to descend.

Gu Changan stretched his head to look forward and could see the outline of Wenxing City from afar.

Wenxing City did not have the square outline of an ordinary city, but rather an arc-shaped city wall that stretched out like a reclining star.

Before Gu Changan could even sigh in admiration, the two people from before started discussing again.

"Every time I come to Wenxing City, I can't help but be shocked!"

"I don't know what Old Ancestor Xuanji was thinking?"

"To build Wenxing City into the eye of a Great Formation!"

"Oh? Do you have any detailed information?"

"Not really, just like what everyone says, the entire city wall of Wenxing City is fired from a mixture of 'Star Marrow Soil' and 'Mysterious Iron Sand'."

"These city walls can absorb starlight to accumulate energy regardless of day or night."

"When the Formation is activated, it can generate tremendous power!"

"I envy the people living inside so much!"

"What's the use of envy? Just cultivate well!"

Gu Changan also couldn't help but yearn for it; he wondered how powerful a Great Formation composed of such a large city would be.

At this moment, a well-dressed Cultivator couldn't help but speak up: "What do you know?"

"The entire Wenxing City, including the 12 surrounding small cities, forms the Wenxing Great Formation. They cover the entire outer area of the Tianji Pavilion from south to north."

"When there is an external enemy invading, the Wenxing Great Formation will exert tremendous power!"

"When there is no external enemy invading, the main function of Wenxing City is to utilize starlight energy to deduce mysteries!"
