Space Storm? I'll Handle It!
Seeing Xiao Yuan's appearance, the Luo Family Old Ancestor seemed to know something of what he was thinking. He smiled bitterly and hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "How about this? My Luo Clan is famous for selling Magic Core. I am willing to offer a Seventh Rank Magic Core as an apology. As for the attributes and types of Magic Core, as long as my Luo Clan has them, you can choose whatever you like. How about it?"
"Seventh Rank Magic Core?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan's heart stirred, and his expression softened. He gently rubbed his fingers against his Storage Ring, glanced at Xiao Yi Xian, and casually asked, "Then I wonder if Elder Luo has Magic Core from the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast?"
"The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast?" The Luo Family Old Ancestor paused, pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "This kind of magical beast is Ancient Exotic Beast, and its Magic Core is extremely difficult to obtain. My Luo Clan does not have a seventh-order Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Magic Core."
Although he didn't have much hope for it, a hint of disappointment still flashed across Xiao Yuan's eyes. Just as he was feeling disappointed, the Luo Family Old Ancestor hesitated for a moment and then tentatively asked, "My Luo Clan doesn't have a seventh-tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Magic Core, but we do have a sixth-tier one. I wonder if that would be feasible?"
"Sixth rank?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan's eyes, which had just shown some disappointment, regained a touch of fervor.
"That's acceptable, but it's not enough."
Xiao Yuan first nodded slightly, but then shook his head.
"This"
Upon hearing this Luo Family Old Ancestor's face twitched. He then took out a wooden boat about the size of a palm from his Storage Ring. The boat faintly shimmered with silver light, indicating that it contained a very weak Space Power.
"This is Space Ship used in Space Wormhole. It is extremely expensive to build, with each one costing over a million. Ordinary people really can't afford it, but I think you guys should be able to use it, right?"
Upon hearing what the Luo Family Old Ancestor said, Xiao Yuan nodded slightly.
He really didn't have that.
Although Ye Zhong might have this thing, it's always good to have one myself, just in case.
"These are the sixth-tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast. I offer these two items as an apology. I wonder if you are satisfied?"
As he spoke, the Luo Family Old Ancestor wrapped the jade box and the Space Ship Dou Qi and sent them to Xiao Yuan.
With a casual grab, Xiao Yuan took the jade box into his hand and opened it. Immediately, a purplish-red oval-shaped Magic Core appeared in his eyes. He touched the Magic Core with his fingers, feeling the energy attribute within. After a moment, Xiao Yuan nodded slightly. Although he had never seen the Magic Core of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast, the attribute described in the records was similar to it.
Immediately afterwards, his gaze swept over the wooden boat. This so-called Space Ship was something he had never seen before, and he was quite curious, examining it closely.
"Since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony with Elder Luo. She's just an ignorant young girl, and I'm not a petty person. But I still have to say something: she only escaped with her life because she ran into me today. If it had been some other powerful but eccentric person, the Luo Clan would probably have been wiped out. Elder Luo must know the consequences. After all, the wormhole in Tianya City is a key point for traveling to and from Central State. What I'm saying is not an exaggeration."
Having obtained the sixth-tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast, Xiao Yuan's mood naturally improved considerably, and he immediately offered some pointers.
"Hehe, thank you for the reminder, sir. When I get back, I will definitely discipline her strictly and will never let what happened today happen again."
The Luo Family Old Ancestor cupped his hands and smiled kindly.
"In that case, we shall take our leave."
Xiao Yuan was too lazy to waste any more words with the old man. With a wave of his hand, he led the group towards the direction of the Space Wormhole.
The seven figures vanished the instant they stepped into the Space Wormhole, a silver light slowly spreading out before disappearing into the pitch-black space. Watching the disappearing figures of Xiao Yuan and the other three, Luo Cheng clicked his tongue and sighed, "I wonder what kind of force these people belong to. Within a thousand miles, I don't recall ever hearing of such a young Dou Zong expert. Judging from what they just said, could that young man be from some powerful force or family in Central State?"
The moment Xiao Yuan and his companions stepped into the Space Wormhole, their vision suddenly went black, and they experienced a feeling of weightlessness. However, this feeling quickly dissipated after a moment, and then a strange Space Channel appeared in their sight.
What appeared before Xiao Yuan and the others was a Space Channel with no end in sight. On both sides of the passage were faint silver spatial barriers, and within the spatial barriers was a passage about ten feet long. At the end of the passage was a deep darkness, and the vertical direction of the passage was also a kind of darkness that made people feel uneasy. Faintly, a strong spatial fluctuation permeated from it. The entire passage was extremely silent, without the slightest sound.
Upon first encountering such a Space Channel, even Xiao Yuan, with his composure, couldn't help but be somewhat stunned. His gaze slowly drifted towards the barriers formed by Space Power on both sides of the passage. Beyond those barriers lay endless darkness, and no one knew what kind of scene lay there.
Ye Zhong finally had a chance to show off his wealth. With a flick of his hand, a beautifully crafted small boat appeared in his hand. As soon as the boat appeared, it swelled in the wind and, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a ship several meters long and wide in Xiao Yuan's astonished gaze. On the surface of the ship, wisps of pale silver Space Power moved back and forth, making it look extremely mysterious.
"This is the Glazed Space Ship of my Ye Clan. With this, we only need ten days to reach Central State."
Ye Zhong explained with a smile.
"Oh? What about that Space Ship that the Luo Family Old Ancestor gave me earlier?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan jumped onto the boat and asked.
"Hehe, it's not bad. It's a level four Space Ship after all, and it only takes twenty days to get to Central State."
Ye Zhong flashed and appeared beside Xiao Yuan, smiling as he spoke.
"That's a good stuff, though."
Xiao Yuan nodded thoughtfully.
"Tsk tsk, this thing actually has such a function. No wonder it's so expensive."
Seeing this change, Xiao Yan clicked his tongue in amazement, then leaped into the ship, followed quickly by the women.
"At the bow of this Space Ship, there is an energy input point. As long as some Dou Qi is poured into it, the Space Ship can fly in this Space Channel. In the Central Plains Continent, there are actually forces and shops that specialize in selling such things. There, Space Ship are also divided into levels, with level nine being the highest and level one being the lowest. My Glazed Space Ship is considered to be level seven."
Ye Zhong nodded and continued.
Xiao Yuan glanced at the bow of the ship in surprise, nodded, then looked at the spatial barriers on both sides and said, "This thing won't jump out, will it?"
"That won't happen. Space Ship can be used within Space Channel, but they are useless outside. Within the passages, as long as you maintain a straight flight, generally speaking, nothing will go wrong. Of course, nothing is absolute. Dangers exist everywhere, especially when traveling in this Void Space. Space itself also hides many dangers, but the chances of encountering them are quite low. Over the years, I have never encountered such a situation."
Ye Zhong shook his head and explained.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded, sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, turned his head to the crowd and smiled, "In that case, everyone, please be seated. Let's set off!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan waved his hand, and a surge of powerful Dou Qi erupted out, finally entering the energy input point. Immediately, the entire ship trembled slightly, and then a thrust burst forth from the stern. With a whoosh, the Space Ship transformed into a silver streak, swiftly traversing space like lightning, and shot off into the void of darkness.
Inside the Space Channel, the Space Ship's speed was terrifying, almost as fast as traveling under the stars and moon. Xiao Yuan and the others, sitting on the ship, could only see the silver spatial walls on both sides rushing backward at a dizzying speed.
Within the silent and dark Space Channel, a silver light flashed silently, disappearing into the darkness in an instant, just like a solitary traveler in the space.
After the initial novelty wore off, the journey quickly became tedious. Even after playing with it for a few hours, Zi Yan couldn't stand it anymore, so she handed it back to Xiao Yuan, crawled into the cabin, and fell fast asleep.
Traveling through this Space Channel filled with unknown dangers, Xiao Yuan did not dare to enter a state of cultivation casually. In any case, with his current strength, he was more than capable of supporting the Space Ship's consumption. Therefore, during this period of travel, he cultivated while supplying his Dou Qi. With his abundant Dou Qi foundation, it was not difficult for him to do so.
Although the speed inside the Space Channel is much faster than outside, the monotony is also more intense. The same deep darkness, if you look at it for a long time, those with weak minds will feel a little irritable. Fortunately, Xiao Yuan is not alone on this trip. Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun often come out to keep him company and chat.
Otherwise, even he would probably feel a little frustrated by the monotony.
In this monotonous time, ten days passed quietly, almost in the blink of an eye. Since everyone knew that they could get out of the Space Wormhole today, Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun accompanied Xiao Yuan early in the morning. With their two soft and beautiful bodies leaning on either side, Xiao Yuan was quite invigorated.
"Now we have everything we need to control the Woeful Poison Body. However, because of the sixth-order Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's Magic Core, it may be difficult to achieve the best results. As for whether there will be any aftereffects, I'm not sure. So, to be on the safe side, I suggest that we try to get the seventh-order Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's Magic Core according to the requirements of the Poison Pill Method before dealing with the Woeful Poison Body. As for the sixth-order Magic Core, it's best not to use it until the very last moment."
Xiao Yuan embraced the two women, turned his head to look at Xiao Yi Xian and said.
"Well, it's up to you."
Xiao Yi Xian gently touched her snow-white chin and said softly.
"Yes, it's best to be cautious with these things and make sure everything goes perfectly."
Yun Yun chimed in.
She had learned quite a bit about Xiao Yi Xian's situation over the past few days. In addition, due to Xiao Yuan's relationship with her, and the fact that he was a few years older than Xiao Yi Xian, she regarded him as a Xiao Yi Xian and naturally did not want anything to happen to him.
"Um?"
However, Xiao Yuan suddenly frowned and looked ahead.
"Bang!"
Immediately afterward, the ship shuddered violently. The three of them snapped back to reality and looked ahead, only to find with grave expressions that the walls of the Space Channel not far ahead, formed by Space Power, had faded considerably. In fact, they could now see the void and darkness beyond the passage at a glance. "What's going on?"
Exclamations rang out from the cabin, and Xiao Yan and Ye Zhong were the first to run out, followed closely by Zi Yan and Xin Lan. Their eyes swept across the area and they also saw the space walls that had faded considerably.
"This is bad! The spatial barrier here is somewhat weak. An external force has disrupted the fragile balance within the passage. We need to be careful!"
Ye Zhong's expression changed.
"I hope nothing bad will happen."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan, who was standing beside him, felt a sense of foreboding and frowned slightly as he spoke.
"It's hard to say. If the spatial barrier becomes ethereal, it can easily cause Space Storm. If someone is pulled into the Void Space by the storm, unless they are Dou Zun expert, it will be difficult to escape!" Ye Zhong hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile, "Now we can only pray that we don't encounter that damned thing. At our speed, we should be arriving in Central State soon."
"Snap!"
However, just as they feared, the sound of the spatial barrier shattering rang out as soon as Ye Zhong finished speaking, followed by an unusual howling wind. The expressions on their faces immediately turned extremely grim! What appeared before Xiao Yuan and the others was a storm formed by pale silver Space Power. The storm wasn't particularly large, but it completely blocked the passage. The surging suction force emanating from within the silver storm caused the Space Ship to tremble continuously, giving it a feeling of being on the verge of collapse.
"Space Storm."
Gazing at the silver storm raging through the passage, Xin Lan, the weakest among them, turned pale and muttered to herself, "I never thought that they would encounter the worst thing of all!"
"So this is Space Storm? It is indeed terrifying. Such powerful Space Power is difficult for even Dou Zong expert to unleash."
Xiao Yuan stared intently at the silver storm that resembled a giant python, and slowly asked.
"What do we do now?"
Xiao Yi Xian frowned slightly and asked.
"I'll charge through! I can handle this storm!"
Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, then spoke decisively.
"Mr. Ye, you are in charge of piloting this Space Ship. I will handle the Space Storm!"
After saying that, a flash of azure light appeared beneath Xiao Yuan's feet, and his figure appeared like a ghost in front of the silver Space Storm!
