Lu Ye and Nian Yuexian had originally expected it to take roughly five or six months to return to the Nine Provinces. After all, the place where Nian Yuexian had been stranded in Square Inch Mountain was practically at the very limit of the Nine Provinces Heavenly Mechanism's reach.
But at their current speed, they would likely need only half a month to fly back.
Comparing the two, Lu Ye suddenly realized that Su Yuqing had not used her full speed when she had brought them back before. Otherwise, they would have been even faster.
With a Star Boat like this, the time spent traveling through the starry sky would be greatly reduced in the future.
Unfortunately, this thing imposed extremely high requirements on both its materials and refining techniques. The Nine Provinces, at its current level, could not refine one. Otherwise, if everyone had one, exploring the surrounding starry sky would become tremendously convenient.
A message arrived through the Battlefield Mark. Lu Ye did not even need to check to know who was looking for him.
Immersing his consciousness, he looked and found that it was indeed Little Nine.
He had vanished for more than eight months, so Little Nine had been quite worried. Especially with Nian Yuexian's previous ordeal as an example. Fortunately, both Lu Ye and Nian Yuexian had now returned safely.
After chatting briefly with Little Nine and learning that everything in the Nine Provinces was stable, with no changes to speak of, he ended the transmission.
Lu Ye then had Nian Yuexian take control of the Star Boat while he began nurturing the Little People Race's two Spirit Talismans.
There were two methods of nurturing Little People Race Spirit Talismans: outside the body and inside the body.
External nurturing was much like nurturing certain treasures.
