In a gloomy mood, Liu Changxu steered the Xin Yue Boat around Golden Jade City and continued westward, while Li Zhenxin and the other three women soothed the children aboard. Woken from a sound sleep and hurriedly moved onto the Xin Yue Boat, the children had all suffered something of a fright!
As the Xin Yue Boat flew over the Golden Jade Mountain Range, Liu Changxu sank into deep thought. He had encountered this inexplicable battle after spending just one night outside the city. How chaotic must Golden Jade City itself be!
If he bought spirit jade ore in large quantities in Golden Jade City, he would likely draw the attention of people with ulterior motives, leading to unpredictable dangers.
That female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment middle stage had most likely obtained some precious spirit jade while gambling on jade. Someone with ulterior motives had noticed, resulting in her being hunted down. He simply did not know what treasure she had obtained.
But he was steering the Xin Yue Boat right now, so it was not the time to inspect his spoils.
The Xin Yue Boat flew swiftly, soon covering more than ten thousand li. Evening had come again.
Liu Changxu steered the Xin Yue Boat into a secluded valley to camp for the night, set up a protective formation around the camp, and placed the Xin Yue Tower there.
Afterward, he prepared and shared a sumptuous dinner with his family, then hurried impatiently to the secluded cultivation chamber on the ninth floor.
Once inside, Liu Changxu eagerly opened the Storage Ring that the female Foundation Establishment cultivator had thrown into the formation.
To his disappointment, however, the Storage Ring, whose interior spanned nearly a thousand zhang, contained nothing but a dozen or so pieces of first-tier spirit jade.
