Supreme-grade Flight Spirit Treasure, the Nine Splendors Cloud Chariot
The Flowing Light Flying Boat once again sailed into the depths of the sea of clouds.
White clouds surged like waves on both sides of the ship, silently splitting apart at the bow before slowly closing back together.
The morning light streamed down from the east, turning the clouds into a vast golden field. Occasionally, a few birds would fly through the gaps in the clouds, leaving behind a few clear cries.
On the deck, the dust had settled.
Lu Yang stretched lazily, feeling completely relaxed.
From meeting Ding Ran yesterday until now, it's been a rollercoaster ride, but we've finally settled this karmic debt.
He chuckled and said, "All done. Let's go back and cultivate."
Lu Qingtong cheered and ran over like a Xiao Fei, swinging her two little arms back.
She ran up to Lu Yang, tilting her delicate, pretty face upturned, her large, blue eyes filled with anticipation. "Young Master, Young Master! I want to go fly around outside!"
Lu Yang looked at the lively Lu Qingtong and couldn't help but chuckle.
Although Lu Qingtong is now Nascent Soul Perfection stage transformed demon, she is actually only one day old, so her personality is naturally quite childish.
Getting her to stay in the cultivation room and meditate is probably harder than climbing to heaven.
Lu Yang reached out and gently pinched Lu Qingtong's soft little face, saying, "Okay, don't go too far away."
"Thank you, young master!" Lu Qingtong cheered, and with a flash of azure light around her, she silently passed through the protective array of the flying boat.
She was enveloped in golden light in mid-air, and in an instant, she transformed into the incomparably magnificent Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Peng.
With a gentle flap of its wings, which were tens of meters long, it drew a golden arc like a stream of light in the sea of clouds, then flipped over and plunged into the surging clouds in the distance, startling a large amount of white cloud that scattered in all directions.
Her clear, childlike laughter could still be faintly heard coming from the depths of the clouds, sometimes near, sometimes far.
Wang Da and Wang Si were no longer there; only Lu Yang and Mu Yunxue remained on the deck.
Mu Yunxue had been standing quietly to the side, her gaze unfocused, with a faint Metal Dao spiritual aura flowing around her.
Lu Yang couldn't help but think to himself, this guy was still secretly comprehending his own Great Dao even when facing those Supreme Elders of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.
Mu Yunxue noticed Lu Yang's gaze and came back to her senses.
Her cold, piercing eyes fell upon his face, and she said in a clear, icy voice, "On?"
Lu Yang was speechless. Sure enough... this ice block only had philosophical discussions on the Dao!
He thought of something and took out a snow-white, lustrous jade ring from his Storage Ring.
The ring gleamed softly in the morning light, with faint golden Runes appearing and disappearing on its surface. The ring was slender and rounded, as exquisite as a work of art to be played with.
He handed the ring to Mu Yunxue.
Mu Yunxue glanced down at the Spiritual Connection Ring, then looked up at Lu Yang, a faint hint of confusion in her deep, dark eyes. "What is this?"
"The Spiritual Connection Ring is for you. When we encounter danger, it can condense a protective shield strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from Nascent Soul Perfection at the peak of their cultivation, and it can also teleport me to your side," Lu Yang explained with a gentle smile.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunxue's cold and deep eyes flickered slightly.
As the eldest daughter of the Mu Household and a direct disciple of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, Mu Yunxue naturally understood the value of various Law Treasures.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that it can condense a protective shield to withstand a Nascent Soul Perfection attack is enough to make this ring a hot commodity among all Nascent Soul True Lord.
What kind of concept is a full-force attack from Nascent Soul Perfection?
There are only a handful of people in the entire Qin Province who can unleash an attack like this!
Having this shield is like having an extra life in a desperate situation!
Not to mention, this thing can also bring Lu Yang to her side.
Mu Yunxue was incredibly intelligent, and through her time with Lu Yang, she naturally realized that her Junior Brother Lu was no ordinary person.
Despite his mere Qi Refining Realm cultivation, Mu Yunxue felt that if a critical moment truly came, teleporting him to her side would likely be more reassuring than a protective shield from a Nascent Soul Perfection.
You could say this Spiritual Connection Ring is like having a life!
Even someone as aloof as Mu Yunxue felt a ripple in her heart at this moment.
The sun hung high above the sea of clouds, and the morning light fell on her fair profile, highlighting the soft lines of her jawline.
She pursed her cherry lips and said softly, "This is valuable; give it to your confidantes."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang chuckled and said, "Don't worry, they have one too, one for each of them. I, Lu, never show favoritism."
Mu Yunxue's movements visibly froze for a moment, and in the morning light, her beautiful, aloof face also seemed to freeze.
She slowly turned her head, stared at Lu Yang, and said calmly, "I'm not your confidante."
Lu Yang met her gaze without flinching.
Lu Yang smiled slightly, his handsome eyes filled with seriousness, and said softly, "Regardless of whether it's true or not, I don't want Senior Sister Mu to encounter any danger to her life in the future. This Spiritual Connection Ring can protect you for me."
Mu Yunxue looked up at Lu Yang.
The morning light shone down from behind Lu Yang, casting a pale golden outline on his body.
His gaze was clear and resolute, without a trace of frivolity.
That's the gaze of someone who truly cares about another person.
Their gazes met in mid-air, neither looking away first.
A gentle breeze swept across the deck, ruffling the hair ribbon on Mu Yunxue's shoulder and stirring the hem of Lu Yang's plain white robe.
A moment later, Mu Yunxue was the first to look away.
She lowered her head slightly, her voice as calm as ever. "Are you really going to give it to me?"
Lu Yang nodded, then reached out and gently grasped Mu Yunxue's right hand.
Her palms were slightly cool, and her skin was delicate and smooth, like holding a piece of warm, cool jade.
Lu Yang could clearly feel that her palm was a little stiff, and her fingertips seemed to be trembling slightly.
With a serious expression, he slowly slipped the Spiritual Connection Ring onto Mu Yunxue's right ring finger.
The jade-white ring accentuated her slender, fair fingers. The pale gold Runes shimmered slightly in the morning light before quietly merging into the ring, as if they had chosen their owner.
Mu Yunxue remained silent and made no movement throughout the entire process.
She stood there quietly, like a doll being treated with gentleness.
It wasn't until Lu Yang put the Spiritual Connection Ring on her finger and let go that she seemed to regain her vitality.
Mu Yunxue gently tucked her right hand into her sleeve, and under the cover of the sleeve, slowly clenched her fist.
The warmth of Lu Yang seemed to linger in her palm, dry yet comforting.
She doesn't seem to dislike the temperature.
Her cherry lips curved slightly, revealing the most obvious smile Lu Yang had ever seen before.
It was a genuine, gentle, and warm smile.
The morning light fell on the corners of her slightly upturned lips, revealing a faint curve, like a snow lotus quietly blooming on an iceberg.
"Junior Brother Lu, thank you for the gift."
Then, as if remembering something, she reached into her Storage Bag at her waist with her other hand and pulled out an ancient-looking stone tablet.
The stone tablet was about the size of a palm, with a dark yellow color that looked like it had been weathered over the years, and rough edges, as if it had been polished by countless years.
The stone tablet has a very faint golden luster on its surface, which sometimes shines and sometimes dims, and faintly outlines a few indistinct lines that are neither words nor patterns.
One glance is enough to tell that this thing is definitely not short-lived.
She handed the stone tablet to Lu Yang, her eyes gentle, and said softly, "This is a peculiar stone tablet that I obtained fortuitous opportunity chance from a secret realm. It seems to contain an extremely profound Metal Dao Cultivation Method, but unfortunately I have never been able to comprehend its True Intention. Now I'm giving it to you."
Lu Yang was taken aback and glanced at Mu Yunxue with some surprise.
After spending this time together, he had become quite familiar with Mu Yunxue's personality.
This ice cube's greatest passion is enlightenment and cultivation.
The profound and mysterious Metal Dao Cultivation Method —this must be Mu Yunxue's favorite and most skilled area of expertise, right?
She actually wanted to give it to him?
Lu Yang subconsciously glanced at the favorability rating.
Mu Yunxue (Favorability: 75)
It's gone up again, and by quite a bit.
We're almost at 80 points!
We must keep up the good work!
He did not refuse and reached out to take the stone tablet.
The stone tablet felt quite heavy, much heavier than it appeared. It was cool and smooth to the touch, suggesting it was made of some special material.
Lu Yang gripped the stone tablet, looked up at Mu Yunxue, and smiled, "We can study it together."
Mu Yunxue nodded slightly, a faint hint of expectation appearing in her cold eyes. "Yes. My comprehension is not as good as yours. If you have any insights... you must teach me."
Lu Yang immediately smiled, a warm and confident smile, "No problem."
Mu Yunxue stopped talking, turned around, and walked towards the main hall.
Her steps seemed a few paces quicker than usual, the hem of her plain white dress brushing against the spiritwood deck, making a soft rustling sound.
Seeing Mu Yunxue's seemingly flustered steps, Lu Yang smiled slightly and silently followed.
Just then, a panel silently appeared in front of Lu Yang.
[The host avenged his underling, successfully settled him down, and demonstrated the power of a super-rich tycoon. Reward: Nine Splendors Cloud Chariot *1!]
Lu Yang: "???"
He paused, his expression momentarily blank.
What does it mean to avenge your underling and also make sure he's settled in?
And what the hell is this "little brother" thing!?
In the Immortal Realm of cultivation, aren't they usually called followers or servants?
Even if you're part of Urban Tycoon System, using terms like "little brother" makes you sound like a nobody.
At least use a title like "subordinate" or something similar; it sounds more respectable, doesn't it?
As for the rewards...
Lu Yang checked it and his eyes suddenly lit up with surprise.
[Nine Splendors Cloud Chariot (Supreme Flying Spirit Treasure)]: A bronze ancient chariot with nine layers of canopy, its body cast with nine dragon patterns. It is pulled by nine dragons formed from condensed cloud energy, each possessing the strength of Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator. The nine-layered canopy comes with its own defensive formation, extremely powerful, capable of continuously withstanding the full-force attack of Early Spirit Transformation for one hour. The interior of the chariot is expanded using Space Principle, offering a spacious interior and complete living facilities.
Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure!
Spirit Treasure is equivalent to Law Treasure used by a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
This is the second Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure that Lu Yang has obtained so far.
The first item is the Geng Metal Sword Essence Pearl, a reward for increasing Su Jinxuan's favorability.
However, unlike offensive Law Treasure like the Geng Metal Sword Essence Pearl, this is a flying Law Treasure, which does not require Lu Yang to provide Spiritual Qi support during use.
This is the same idea as the Flowing Light Flying Boat.
However, the Flowing Light Flying Boat is Supreme-Grade Law Treasure, while the Nine Splendors Cloud Chariot is Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure, representing a significant upgrade!
The difference between the two is like the insurmountable chasm between the Golden Core Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm!
And... the scale of this thing is truly outrageous.
They actually managed to condense nine Nascent Soul Late Stage dragons from clouds to pull a cart!
That's a dragon at the Nascent Soul Late Stage!
If this Nine Splendors Cloud Chariot were used to pass in front of the gates of any top power, the sect leader and the supreme elders of that family would probably be on tenterhooks!
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
Mu Yunxue, who was walking in front, noticed that the footsteps behind her had stopped, so she stopped as well.
She turned around and saw Lu Yang standing motionless, seemingly lost in thought, so she walked back and stood beside Lu Yang.
She didn't urge him, but stood quietly to the side, like a silent shadow.
After a moment, Lu Yang came to his senses.
He turned his head and saw Mu Yunxue standing quietly beside him, and couldn't help but smile, "Senior Sister, why are you just standing here without saying a word?"
Mu Yunxue calmly said, "I sensed you had something on your mind and were waiting for you."
Lu Yang chuckled and said, "It's nothing."
After speaking, he paused for a moment, then said, "By the way, we've been using this Flowing Light Flying Boat for a while now, and we're getting a bit tired of it. Let's switch to a different flying Law Treasure."
This is Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure Law Treasure that was hard to obtain.
Lu Yang was naturally eager to try it out!
Mu Yunxue: "?"
She glanced at Lu Yang, and a feeling of speechlessness welled up inside her.
The Flowing Light Flying Boat is actually a hundred-foot-long flying boat!
Even top-tier powers only use such flying magical Law Treasure on grand occasions, fearing they might get damaged in ordinary times.
Turns out, my Junior Brother Lu said he got tired of it after using it for a while?
Even someone as aloof as Mu Yunxue felt a sudden urge to roll her eyes.
If the leaders of the top forces in Qin Province heard what Junior Brother Lu said, they would probably faint on the spot.
