Chapter 344: Xuan Ling Gives Lin Lin Mengye a Top‑Grade Flying Boat

"Shenxian Jiejie, both Supreme Elders praise your gifts nonstop, especially Elder Dao Lingzi—he finally caught a spirit fish!"

Lin Lin Mengye was steeping the spirit tea given by Elder Xuan Ling, wanting to compare it with Song Yun's spirit tea, when she suddenly heard Ye Fan's joyful report and calmly said:

"As expected, but what's the deal with that spirit fish? Can you get your hands on one?"

Ye Fan shook his head, sighed, and said:

"It's said that spirit fish is older than the two Supreme Elders, a truly heaven-and-earth nurtured extraordinary spiritual object; even a Nascent Soul cultivator who eats it can increase their cultivation."

"Elder Dao Lingzi fished for three hundred years without catching a single one, but this time he caught three in total; they gave him a reward, but Elder Dao Lingzi definitely won't give up that spirit fish."

Ye Fan also felt it a pity; otherwise he could have presented the spirit fish to Shenxian Jiejie for her to try.

Lin Lin Mengye's eyes flashed upon hearing that, but she said nothing more.

Ye Fan then said:

"Shenxian Jiejie, among the rewards Elder Xuan Ling gave, there's one specially meant for you—she loves cosmetics and that mirror, and she specially gave a flying boat to send to you."

Having said that, Ye Fan quickly moved the flying boat from his storage bag into his spirit abode.

The tiny flying boat floated in the space; Lin Lin Mengye stared at it, then reached out and took it.

The palm-sized flying boat was wrapped in a formation, surrounded by some rune fragments, looking quite mystical.

"Shenxian Jiejie, although the flying boat is a top-tier magical artifact, it might not mean much to you, but I find it exquisitely crafted—I'm sure you'll like it."

Ye Fan felt ashamed; he still hasn't been able to bring Shenxian Jiejie anything better—no magical treasures, let alone spiritual treasures.

These rewards were all obtained by trading things given by Shenxian Jiejie; they're not something he earned through his own ability.

When will he ever truly be able to repay Shenxian Jiejie?

Upon hearing that, Lin Lin Mengye was both surprised and delighted—the flying boat is actually a top-tier magical artifact, and just as Ye Fan said, its structure and refinement are indeed eye‑catching.

Lin Lin Mengye has never seen a flying vessel before; she plans to wait until everyone is asleep at night, then go out and launch it to gain experience.

Thinking that Ye Fan was still waiting for her reply, Lin Lin Mengye pondered and then said:

"Ye Fan, I really like this flying boat; thank Elder Xuan Ling on my behalf. And you—what rewards did you receive?"

In front of Lin Lin Mengye, Ye Fan hid nothing and immediately stored the other two items in his talisman space.

"Elder Xuan Ling rewarded me with a talisman brush; Elder Dao Lingzi likes those baits, knowing I'm studying talisman drawing, he gave me a talisman manual that records many high‑grade talisman drawing methods."

Lin Lin Mengye nodded upon hearing that; she wasn't interested in drawing talismans, but after thinking she still said:

"Learning to draw talismans also counts as an extra means of self‑defense; skilled talisman artists are not to be underestimated—study hard and practice well, because I'll be checking on you later."

Upon hearing that, Ye Fan's eyes lit up and he immediately became excited.

"Shenxian Jiejie also thinks talisman artists are good? I will definitely study hard and practice well—I'll show you each talisman I learn for your inspection."

Lin Lin Mengye smirked, but the words on her tip turned serious again, and she gave a low, solemn hum.

"That's excellent, Ye Fan—you're very motivated; keep pushing forward, I'm optimistic about you."

With Shenxian Jiejie's encouragement, Ye Fan immediately dove into the study hall to begin learning talisman drawing.

Lin Lin Mengye counted the time on her fingers, finally stayed up until the dead of night when most people were asleep, then immediately flew on her sword to the suburbs.

She had specifically looked up the information—this place sees few visitors, and there are no air routes above it.

Lin Lin Mengye soared on her sword into the clouds, confirmed that at this height she wouldn't run into anyone, then pulled out the flying boat.

The flying boat has recognized its master; it only needs an infusion of spiritual power to be controlled.

As Lin Lin Mengye circulated her inner spiritual power and infused it into the flying boat, the vessel that had been merely palm‑sized instantly expanded to several hundred meters long, becoming a huge flying ship!

Before Lin Lin Mengye could even react, a formation barrier appeared around the flying boat, capable of resisting a certain degree of external attack; more importantly, it shields the vessel from strong airflows and extreme weather during flight.

Standing on the deck, Lin Lin Mengye was instantly awestruck—the flying boat was larger and grander than she had imagined, simply indescribable in words.

The entire flying boat presents an elegant, ancient exterior, while its interior contains another world.

Apart from the pilot cabin, the remaining rooms are furnished as ancient‑style chambers, with carved little pavilions exquisitely crafted, and the furnishings are richly imbued with an antique charm.

Lin Lin Mengye only needs to equip the ship with some power generators and modern appliances, and it would easily outshine those luxury cruise ships.

Although it can't match the modern facilities of luxury cruise ships, can a luxury cruise ship go to heaven? Can it carry people through the clouds?

As for airplanes, there's even less comparison.

The flying boat is very stable and fast; anyone on board can freely go to the deck to enjoy the scenery.

If Lin Lin Mengye were to open it up, surely the world's wealthy would scramble to board her vessel.

However, there is one regrettable point: the flying boat consumes spiritual energy—either one must continually infuse it with one's own spiritual power to keep it running, or one must pour in many spirit stones; it is a spirit‑devouring beast.

Lin Lin Mengye doesn't feel too disappointed about this; for now, the flying boat isn't a necessity for her, and she can simply save up more spirit stones to use it later.

After stowing the flying boat, Lin Lin Mengye flew back home on her sword, still full of energy, and then went to the Strange World.

This time the landing point was still Canaan University; it seems Ye Xiu has been studying hard these past few days.

It was evening then; as students poured out of school, energetic figures streamed along the road one after another.

Lin Lin Mengye intended to go find Ye Xiu to see how that little black egg's hatching was progressing.

The white beast egg in her hand remained stable, absorbing spiritual energy daily in the spirit‑gathering array; she couldn't tell when it would hatch, so she kept feeding it spirit stones.

Ye Xiu said the black egg can absorb strange qi; if the strange qi doesn't affect it, it will likely hatch before the white egg.

As Lin Lin Mengye walked and pondered this, she suddenly heard someone behind her exclaim in delight.

"Sister, is it really you!"

Lu Wei spotted Lin Lin Mengye as soon as class ended and hopped over happily to her side.

Seeing her, Lin Lin Mengye was also delighted; recalling the time she had seen her bullied in the suburbs and felt worried, seeing her now still lively put her mind at ease.

"Lu Wei, how did class feel?"

Lu Wei shrugged, her pretty face scrunching up like a little bun.

"Today the teacher checked our blood‑qi levels; mine didn't meet the standard, so I'll have to stay after class every day from now on."

Upon saying that, Lu Wei immediately thought of something and said with a face full of admiration:

"Older sister, your younger brother Ye Xiu is amazing—you don't even know, his qi and blood value is already about to surpass the upperclassmen in year three; the teacher said he no longer needs to take special qi and blood enhancement classes, he can cultivate on his own."

Lin Lin Mengye wasn't particularly surprised upon hearing this; Ye Xiu has a special physique, plus he has the Opening Aperture Pill I gave him to assist—how could his qi and blood value not rise quickly?
