All Right, Let's Open Your Eyes
The sunlight was completely blocked out, and everyone felt as if the sun had been eaten by a celestial dog. In the blink of an eye, they were shrouded in a huge shadow.
The treasure ship was dazzling and radiant, as if every inch of its hull was crafted from Spirit Stone and precious gems, so dazzling that it was impossible to look away.
"This, this is..." The manager of Subdue the Sea Shipyard was so shocked that he was almost speechless.
He felt that the enormous thing in front of him wasn't a ship at all; it was clearly a magnificent work of art!
The manager of Subdue the Sea Shipyard suppressed his shock, not wanting to take his eyes off the huge ship in front of him for even a moment.
He disregarded everything else and quickly grabbed Lan Fusheng's hand, asking excitedly, "Where did you get this ship?"
"I suppose I don't need to tell you, Steward? Didn't you say you wanted to see it for yourself? Now that you've seen our ship and it's time to set sail, Steward, please don't waste our time." Lan Fusheng usually gentle and refined, but she also had a temper.
Subdue the Sea Shipyard has targeted them repeatedly, quoting the highest price upfront and then acting arrogantly when they came to negotiate. Now they've joined forces with so many other shipyards to target them, and those people stirring up trouble in the crowd were arranged by Subdue the Sea Shipyard!
Lan Fusheng isn't stupid; she wouldn't treat someone like that well.
At that moment, Dong Fuzhu had already leaped onto the deck of the large ship, waving to everyone. "Senior Sister, Lan Fusheng, come on up quickly, we should go!"
Lan Fusheng responded from afar, then forcefully pulled back his sleeve, bowed to the steward, and turned to leave.
The manager was angry that he hadn't gotten anything out of him.
He couldn't help but complain to the man in charge of gathering information, "What kind of job are you? You don't even know where these outsiders got such a good ship, making me go out here and get humiliated for nothing!"
The manager didn't even need to listen; just by looking at the onlookers' longing for the large ship and the strange expressions on their faces when they looked at him, he knew that Subdue the Sea Shipyard was going to be ridiculed this time!
The manager's earlier words felt like a slap in the face, and even Jing Huan couldn't help but ask, "How is it, Steward Qian? Has this ship opened your eyes?"
Manager Qian's cold expression lasted only a moment before he quickly composed himself and put on a smiling face, "Immortal Lord, what are you saying? You should have told us about such a ship long ago, so we wouldn't have to go and humiliate ourselves. But then again, it's quite surprising that a group of outside cultivators have such a fine ship. I wonder if the Beast Soul Sect helped us out? If your sect knows such a skilled weapon-refining master, perhaps you could introduce us to Subdue the Sea Shipyard?"
This is blaming Sang Ying and her group for all the crimes, and they even want to poach the builder of the treasure ship from here!
Even though Jing Huan and Steward Qian were old acquaintances, he still found it laughable. "When you came looking for them, didn't they already say they had a boat? You didn't believe them and made all sorts of demands. Now you're trying to play tricks and intimidate them... Do you really think we're all blind and can't see through all the tricks you've pulled?!"
"News from today's events will likely spread quickly. Instead of asking me about the weapon-refining master, Steward Qian should go back and think about how to explain things to your master. As for this weapon-refining master, I can only say that if we knew such a powerful figure, the Beast Soul Sect wouldn't have had to either travel on old ships or rely on sea beasts for help when they went to sea before."
Steward Qian choked, but had no choice but to believe that what Jing Huan said was probably true.
If such a powerful weapon-refining master truly appeared in the Cloud Mulberry Realm, there's no reason why the well-informed shipyard wouldn't know, and instead it would be these xenophobic and conservative sect disciples who made contact with him first.
So these foreign cultivators really got incredibly lucky and found the treasure ship on their own?
The disappointment and regret of the people from the various shipyards were no longer something Sang Ying and the others would consider. After they all boarded the treasure ship, the entire ship was enveloped by a transparent barrier.
Sang Ying generously stuffed several Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone into the activation array of the treasure ship, and the sails on the treasure ship instantly rose, and the waves at the bow were broken layer by layer.
Feeling the ship move beneath their feet, both those on board and those below couldn't help but cheer. Even an elderly, white-haired cultivator, watching the treasure ship slowly sail away, exclaimed, "It's been so long since I've seen such a magnificent ship on the Endless Sea!"
They have been isolated from the outside world for too long. If they continue to be hostile to the other four small worlds, they don't know if they will have the chance to see the giant ship sailing on the Endless Sea when they die.
Jing Huan was speechless with awe at the sight of the sails unfurling, while the Green Lotus and Red Lotus sisters were incredibly grateful for their previous choice.
If they hadn't taken the initiative to ask to travel with Sang Ying and the others, they probably wouldn't have had a chance to ride on such a nice boat.
Thinking of this, the two sisters took the initiative to approach Sang Ying and thank her in person.
Sang Ying didn't think there was anything wrong with it, "With the two of you traveling with us, we'll have an extra bit of help on this training trip. We're the ones who should be benefiting. You two don't need to be so polite."
Sang Ying spoke so politely, Green Lotus and Red Lotus didn't say anything more and followed Lan Fusheng and the others to the cabin to be assigned their rooms.
Dong Fuzhu remembered what Sang Ying had told her before, insisting on taking the boat to the dock of the shipyard to make a splash. So she carefully studied the formation that propelled the treasure ship and, under the watchful eyes of Duan Hanyi and the others, began to act.
Sang Ying ignored her, determined to let her junior sister have a good time.
Fortunately, driving the formation wasn't difficult, and the treasure ship happened to be a Law Artifact, so Dong Fuzhu quickly learned how to do it. She turned the ship around and headed towards the nearest Subdue the Sea Dock.
The magnificent ship glided past the dock, but its grand and beautiful silhouette remained deeply etched in the minds of everyone on the dock.
The group, who were about to finalize the rental agreement, suddenly changed their minds and pointed to the departing boat, asking, "Hey, is that your boat? If so, we'd like to rent it."
The man's face immediately fell. "This isn't it, that belongs to the cultivator himself."
Just then, some onlookers recounted what they had just seen and heard, emphasizing the outrageous demand of two hundred Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone from the Subdue the Sea Shipyard.
Upon hearing this, the guests at the dock immediately changed their expressions, and many deals that were already close to being finalized vanished.
Even though the people from Subdue the Sea Shipyard brought in other customers, the first thing they asked upon arrival was, "This ship I want isn't worth two hundred Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone, is it?"
When Steward Qian was filled with regret and wanted to ask Sang Ying and others for help to salvage his reputation, the person he was looking for had already sailed into the depths of the sea on a treasure ship.
