133: Chapter 133 Harvest, Flying Boat

"Senior, these Jade Slips of mine were obtained from several adventures. Although they are only low-tier, you also know that such basic knowledge is still very useful for low-tier Cultivators. The front line is too dangerous, and I want to trade for some Magical Artifacts, especially defensive Magical Artifacts."

This stall owner was at the Late Stage of the Qi Refinement Stage, so naturally, he dared not neglect a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator like Zhao Feng.

"Defensive Magical Artifacts?" Zhao Feng's eyes lit up. "How about this?" He took out the shrunken battle armor from his bosom.

The purple-red battle armor rotated slowly in his hand, emitting waves of captivating halos; it looked full of Spiritual Qi and was quite beautiful.

"Hmm?" The stall owner's eyes lit up. Battle armor was not common, especially armor suitable for Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators, because Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators generally didn't have much wealth. If it was sold too expensively, it wouldn't sell, and if it was sold too cheaply, it wasn't cost-effective, so very few Artifact Refiners would craft battle armor Magical Artifacts.

"It's a pity it's only a Medium Grade Magical Artifact. If it were High Grade or top-tier, it would be even better."

"Hey, Fellow Daoist, you should be content. Battle armor for the Qi Refinement Stage is already rare, and among defensive Magical Artifacts, battle armor provides the largest area of defense," Liu Xuan suddenly shouted. She had been cramming some knowledge of the cultivation world recently, so she actually knew quite a lot.

"That's true," the stall owner shook his head and smiled. "The market price for a Medium Grade Magical Artifact battle armor is mostly two hundred Spirit Stones. My Jade Slips are valued at fifty Spirit Stones each. Senior only needs three, so there is still a difference of fifty Spirit Stones. Why doesn't Senior take another look to see if there is anything else needed?"

Zhao Feng shook his head and looked at Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan hesitantly glanced at a Jade Slip, her eyes filled with eagerness.

"This one?" Zhao Feng picked up a Jade Slip, "Introduction to Formations."

"Mm." Liu Xuan nodded.

"Alright, let's take these four." Zhao Feng poured his Spiritual Qi into the battle armor and gave it a light shake, removing his ownership. "It's yours." He threw the battle armor to the stall owner.

"Thank you, Senior." The stall owner nodded, holding the battle armor in his hands, unable to put it down. With the battle armor, he would be much safer on the battlefield.

"Let's go." Zhao Feng and Liu Xuan continued to stroll around with the Jade Slips. Because the battle armor had been traded away, Zhao Feng bought some more Ore, planning to refine a new one for himself.

However, when he went to rent an Artifact Refining Room, he was told that all the Artifact Refining Rooms had already been rented out, so Zhao Feng had no choice but to return helplessly.

Liu Xuan walked away smiling while holding "Introduction to Formations"; it seemed this girl had finally found her hobby.

Zhao Feng also picked up the Jade Slips and began to study them earnestly.

He first looked at "Basic Symbols." In this Jade Slip, besides the repeated symbols, there were actually new symbols, which was a pleasant surprise.

The two symbols were called "Evil-Warding Golden Light" and "Small Spirit Light Shield."

Looking at the functional introduction, the "Evil-Warding Golden Light" symbol could generate a faint golden light, which had a certain restraining effect on evil creatures. The "Small Spirit Light Shield" was a compound symbol; it looked slightly complicated, and its function was to generate a fully covering small light film when encountering difficult-to-resist danger, which had a relatively strong defensive capability against Spell attacks.

Both symbols were very commonly used; it seemed he could find time to upgrade his battle armor.

There wasn't much time, so he didn't study them in detail but instead opened the other two Jade Slips and took a rough look.

"Introduction to Alchemy" roughly introduced the basic knowledge of Alchemy and what needed to be mastered, and it included four types of Spirit Pills: Beast Spirit Pill, Spirit Replenishment Pill, Life-Sustaining Pill, and Inedia Pill. The Beast Spirit Pill was a type of Medicinal Pill for Spirit Beasts to consume, which could provide the energy Spirit Beasts needed daily and also had a certain evolutionary effect; it was actually just dog food for beasts.

The Spirit Replenishment Pill was a type of Medicinal Pill that could replenish a Cultivator's Spiritual Qi, providing a certain amount of Spiritual Qi replenishment for the Cultivator. The Life-Sustaining Pill was a type of Medicinal Pill that restored life, having healing effects. The Inedia Pill provided for the daily dietary needs of low-tier Cultivators; one had to know that before the Golden Core Stage, Cultivators could not get rid of the need for food and drink.

Overall, these Medicinal Pills were very commonly used. If one could refine them, it would be greatly beneficial whether for earning Spirit Stones or for Cultivation.

"Compendium of Low-tier Talismans" introduced Talismans and also provided several simple methods for drawing Talismans. It turned out that the "Fu" (Talisman) and "Lu" (Register/Record) were two similar but different things. The "Fu" was a simple carrier object for various functional Spells; for example, after using a Wind Blade Talisman, it became the Spell Wind Blade, and after using a Cleansing Talisman, it became the Cleansing Spell.

The "Lu" was different; the "Lu" was a type of position, a special symbol formed by an authority organization acting on behalf of Heaven to distribute a portion of authority. This type of symbol contained the principles of authority, which naturally were not in this Jade Slip.

After taking a preliminary look at the Jade Slips, Zhao Feng did not continue to study them, but instead rested after performing his daily Spirit, Buddha, and Dao Cultivation.

Soon it was dawn. After his morning practice, Zhao Feng heard the bell for assembly.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

All the Cultivators arrived at a small open space. The manager of the Demon-Slaying Alliance had already arrived on a raised platform. Seeing that everyone had assembled, he said loudly: "Fellow Daoists, our Alliance's Flying Ship is about to arrive. If there are any Fellow Daoists who wish to withdraw from the mission, please come and register in time. Once you board the Flying Ship, you must comply with the frontline military law. Those who dare to violate military law will be dealt with according to military law."

After a while, no one withdrew, and everyone just stood quietly, waiting for the arrival of the Flying Ship.

Zhao Feng closed his eyes and outlined the new symbols in his mind, intending to master them as quickly as possible, for he still did not have any battle armor.

"Look, it's here, it's here!" Liu Xuan suddenly shouted excitedly, then grabbed his arm and said.

Zhao Feng looked up into the distance. In the distance, a colossal object broke through the clouds and mist, slowly approaching.

This was the Flying Ship!

The shape of the Flying Ship was almost exactly the same as a sailing ship, and it also possessed huge sails. It was overall the color of raw wood; it seemed it was also made of wood.

The entire body of the Flying Ship had strange patterns, with Spiritual light shining on them; it looked as if the whole thing was a Magical Artifact. It was over a hundred meters long, and while it looked slow when flying, it was actually very fast, arriving above the crowd in a short while.

The Flying Ship slowly descended, and the strong air pressure made the small grass on the ground bow their heads.

The crowd moved aside, and the massive hull of the Flying Ship began to descend, finally landing on the ground.

Seeing the Flying Ship face-to-face, one felt its vastness even more, like a small mountain that could only be looked up to.

After the Flying Ship landed, one only heard a light creaking sound. Several doors suddenly opened on both sides of the ship's hull, and a staircase extended from inside the doors, resting on the ground.

Several Cultivators wearing battle armor walked out from inside the doors. Judging by their Spiritual Qi fluctuations, they were all Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators. Zhao Feng couldn't help but be secretly shocked; these Cultivators from the front line were actually all experts.

Although these Cultivators were expressionless, their bodies seemed to be wrapped in Evil Qi. When they looked around, their gazes were awe-inspiring. It was likely they were warriors who had killed countless demon creatures, so it was normal to have such Evil Qi.

A middle-aged Cultivator wearing gorgeous battle armor was the last to walk off the ship, heading straight to talk with the Demon-Slaying Alliance manager. In his perception, the middle-aged Cultivator's Spiritual Qi fluctuations were almost completely absent; he was likely a formidable expert. Zhao Feng didn't dare to listen to their conversation, lest he be sensed by him.

The two talked for quite a while before the middle-aged Cultivator walked over and loudly ordered everyone to board the ship. Zhao Feng and Liu Xuan walked onto the Flying Ship with surging emotions, full of longing for their future life. Who knew what kind of harvest they would have on the front-line battlefield?
