Chapter 870 Dark Stone
The reason why this spirit ship is so fast is also related to its relatively small size. Small spirit ships can be refined in the same way as the spirit tools used by cultivators. They are more solid and can withstand more severe collisions and bumps. However, large spirit ships are too large and stability is the first priority, so they are much worse in terms of speed.
Moreover, this trip to the Ancient Wind Continent is a one-time deal. After going there, you will not come back. The spirit ship only needs to be used once. As long as you insist on getting to the destination, you can maximize the speed.
"Master Shi Han means that the speed of this spirit ship is more than twice that of an ordinary spirit ship. Can you save at least half the time by riding this spirit ship?" Qingyang said in surprise.
Qingyang originally thought that the speed of spirit ships was about the same, but he did not expect that Master Shi Han's spirit ship could save more than half the time. It takes more than 20 years for a normal spirit ship to go from Zhongshayu to the Ancient Wind Continent. If it can save more than half the time, it will only take about ten years to arrive.
A foundation-building cultivator only has a lifespan of 200 years in total. How many decades can he have? This is great news. Others may feel sorry for the spirit stones, but Qingyang doesn't. For him, spirit stones are all external things. Ten thousand spirit stones are nothing. If he can use these spirit stones to save a lot of time on the road, he is willing to exchange for more.
Master Shi Han seemed to have expected Qingyang's reaction and said, "I completely refine this spirit ship as a top-grade flying spirit tool. It is normal to have this speed. If there is no delay on the way, it will definitely reach the Ancient Wind Continent in ten years."
After getting the confirmation from Master Shi Han, Qingyang finally made up his mind that he would book this quota. Before, Qingyang still held the mind of dispensability. It would be better if it could be negotiated, but it didn't matter if it couldn't be negotiated. He could slowly look for opportunities. Now that he heard about the speed of this spirit ship, he has strengthened his confidence in going to the Ancient Wind Continent. It can save more than half of the time on the road. This kind of opportunity can be encountered and sought. If you miss it, you may never have such a good opportunity again in your life.
Qingyang is ambitious. He not only wants to break through the Jindan realm, but also wants to sprint to a higher realm. He wants to see what the end of the cultivator is. Compared with the Ancient Wind Continent, Zhongshayu can only be regarded as a small pond. The pond can only raise fish, but not dragons. If you want to have a bigger breakthrough, you can only go to a wider place.
And the Ancient Wind Continent is such a place in his mind, so Qingyang must go to the Ancient Wind Continent. Originally, he went there passively because he couldn't get the materials for forming the Jindan. Now that he has such a good opportunity, he can save more than half of the time on the road. It's better to go early than to go at night.
What the guest Dan King of Wantong Pavilion, what the head of the Danyuan, what the comfortable life of holding two jobs and easily earning a lot of spirit stones, is nothing compared to his own future.
Thinking of this, Qingyang nodded solemnly and said, "Master Shihan, I will reserve this quota. Ten thousand spirit stones are not a problem. As for the remaining two quotas, I need to ask fellow Taoists Xiying and Xiao Yuhan to see what they are planning."
Qingyang was happy for a moment, and suddenly remembered that there were three pieces of dark stones in the corner of the Drunken Immortal Gourd that he had obtained from the Netherworld True Man. The role of these dark stones to ghost cultivators is like that of spirit stones to ordinary cultivators. Qingyang has no use for them, but they are extremely useful to ghost cultivators, so he simply gave them to Master Shihan.
Master Shihan is also knowledgeable. He knows the value of these three dark stones to him. His dual cultivation Taoist partner is completely saved. With these things, plus the ghost cultivation method, not to mention improving his cultivation, at least Mei Qing can hold on for several more years.
Master Shihan has never liked to owe favors to others, but this time he has to bear two favors from Qingyang. Although he helped with the spirit ship, he also paid spirit stones, which can only be regarded as a fair trade. Master Shi Han was not good at expressing his gratitude, so he could only make up his mind in his heart. The only thing he could show off now was his cultivation. He must protect Master Qingyang and repay this favor.
After deciding his own affairs, Qingyang came to the door and told Xiying and Xiao Yuhan about the situation related to the spirit ship to see how they would choose.
Ten thousand spirit stones were nothing to Qingyang, but they were a huge fortune for Xiying and Xiao Yuhan. Xiying was better off. In addition to practicing, she sometimes went out to work to earn some spirit stones in recent years, so she would not live off her family. Xiao Yuhan spent all his energy on practicing, but only spent money and did not earn money. The spirit stones on him were getting less and less. In addition to the spirit stones used to buy materials for forming golden pills, the spirit stones left on the two of them were not many. I don’t know if they can afford it.
After listening, Xiying said directly: "I have reached the ninth level of foundation building three years ago, and the foundation building is close at hand, but it is too difficult to get the golden elixir in Zhongsha District. Instead of staying here and waiting for that illusory opportunity, it is better to go out and try. Master Shihan's spirit ship can save more than half of the time on the road. With such a good opportunity, I have to raise enough money for the ship even if I have to sell everything I have."
Xiying made this decision for a reason. Back then in Lingxi Valley, he wasted half his life. It was by chance that he broke through to the foundation building stage. After that, it took him almost sixty or seventy years to improve his cultivation to the fifth level of foundation building. This was because he got a lot of treasures in the secret place and exchanged them for a lot of cultivation resources in the sect.
When Xiying left Jiuzhou Continent, he was already over 120 years old. If he followed the normal trajectory, he would be lucky to reach the ninth level of foundation building in his lifetime. He dared not even think about the Golden Core Realm. It was because he saw no hope that he took the risk of leaving Jiuzhou Continent.
Xiying's luck was pretty good. After going out to sea, his cultivation level really improved quickly, especially in the past 20 years. Because he got a lot of spirit stones on Hengxing Island, he no longer lacked elixirs for cultivation, so his cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds. Three years ago, he broke through to the ninth level of foundation building in one fell swoop, and was only one step away from the perfect foundation building. He even vaguely saw the Golden Core Realm waving to him.
If he could not see hope, it would be fine. Now that he had a thought, he naturally had to be unwilling to die of old age in the foundation building stage. However, his life span was nearly 160 years old. If he did not seize the time, in another 20 or 30 years, his body functions would begin to decline, and there would be even less hope.
Originally, he thought that the spirit ship would need to sail on the sea for more than 20 years. Even if he could finally reach the Ancient Wind Continent, his body would age and he would have no hope of breaking through. Now, he heard that it would only take 10 years to reach the Ancient Wind Continent. Wasn't this God helping him? How could he not seize such an opportunity?
