Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Hearing the commotion, Xu Zhangqing rose from beneath the tree and walked out of the tree shade step by step.

When he reached the empty space, he raised his head and looked upward.

Sure enough, it was Chu Qiu and He Qi.

And the moment they saw someone come out, one person and one crane rapidly descended to the ground.

Xu Zhangqing looked at the other's intact face and exclaimed in surprise: "Chu Shixiong, your handsome face has recovered?"

Chu Qiu nodded lightly and began to explain: "I just made a trip to Tiexue Peak; while being accepted as a disciple by the Peak Master, she conveniently helped restore my face."

Xu Zhangqing asked again: "Then what about the spiritual root?"

Chu Qiu gave an ambiguous answer: "This... is one of the reasons I came to find you."

Xu Zhangqing, hearing this, fell into thought: "It seems that has recovered too."

As Chu Qiu approached, he took something out from his storage space: "Your liquid water essence works even better and faster for recovery; I've already consumed it."

Xu Zhangqing subconsciously took it in hand, then asked curiously: "What is this?"

The object in hand appeared to be a boat.

But it was smaller than his own Yao Long Shui Shui Chuan, yet more exquisite.

Entirely jade-white, like a blooming flower.

Chu Qiu's mouth corners curved downward, forcing his face to stay straight, seemingly holding back laughter as he said: "I see you stepping on that Big Leaf Grass spinning dizzyingly all day, and felt it doesn't quite match a Spirit Nurturer's identity.

Therefore, I specially brought you this Flower Bud Boat."

Xu Zhangqing was full of suspicion: "But isn't this a bit...?"

Chu Qiu explained rather embarrassedly: "Because my Peak Master is a woman, the things she takes out are basically all this type."

Xu Zhangqing glanced at He Qi, saw it guiltily turn its head away, and instantly realized: "I understand now; this is actually a travel tool the Peak Master gave you."

Seeing he was exposed, Chu Qiu completely lost his composure and grinned widely: "Hahaha!"

Xu Zhangqing rolled his eyes in exasperation: "Fine, fine, fine... so that's how you treat a brother, huh?"

Chu Qiu waved his hand: "For one, I'm indeed not too suited for this type of travel tool.

For two, after all, there's He Qi Da Ren now."

He Qi immediately raised its head, looking particularly smug.

Xu Zhangqing frowned: "Do you think I'm willing to pilot it?"

Chu Qiu couldn't help but say: "Still better than the Big Leaf Grass, right?"

Every time he saw those four Big Leaves spinning dizzyingly, he couldn't keep a straight face.

It just so happened the Peak Master's gift of a travel tool wasn't to his liking; rather than keep it, might as well give it away — regardless, this is far more high-end than the Big Leaf Grass.

Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Actually, he didn't really want to use the Yao Long Shui Shui Chuan.

The main reason was that its current appearance too easily drew others' attention.

If some big shot discovered the trick inside it, he would definitely be targeted.

But this Flower Bud Boat is way too flashy, isn't it?

Chu Qiu said seriously: "This item is a hot commodity in the Yao Yue Immortal Sect; countless Immortal Maidens seek it but cannot get it. My Peak Master even snatched it from someone else."

Xu Zhangqing asked tentatively: "Is it the kind of 'snatch' I'm thinking of?"

Chu Qiu affirmed: "That's right; the Peak Master boasted to my face, saying she beat up the Orchid Immortal Maiden of the Yao Yue Immortal Sect, then snatched it from her hands."

Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but press further: "Your Peak Master, in the end, is which one of Tiexue Peak?"

Chu Qiu answered immediately: "Tiexue Peak Vice Peak Master,

Water Wood Dual Spirit Root,

Nascent Soul Early Stage,

Ling Shuang!"

Xu Zhangqing stared wide-eyed: "Could it be that Nascent Soul True Lord who snatches across the Seven Peaks with no opponent?"

This one has quite a reputation in the Immortal Sect, only it's a mixed reputation.

Supposedly, whenever she sees something she likes, she'll snatch it.

If she can't snatch it, she'll wait a while then snatch again.

For example, wait until the other party is injured, in seclusion, or even until they're old.

In short, her conduct is exceptionally overbearing while her behavior is extremely Lao Liu.

Chu Qiu chuckled: "Right."

Xu Zhangqing gave a thumbs up: "You've really hit the jackpot!"

Chu Qiu blinked: "If you don't like this Flower Bud Boat, you can also take it to give to someone else."

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand: "We'll talk later."

Give it to Fish Shijie?

But ever since that incident, the two haven't met for a long time.

Also unknown what her situation is exactly; going over rashly feels like it would disturb her.

"Right."

Chu Qiu suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "In a few days, Xuanxin City will hold the Qianfan Zhengdu Conference on its centennial scale. Are you going?"

Xu Zhangqing was stunned for a moment, then mused, "I've always wanted to go to Xuanxin City, but could never find the opportunity. Since that's the case, let's go together then."

Chu Qiu continued to remind him, "You can invite friends like Hu Bugui and Li Sancai too; the more people, the livelier it will be."

"It's said that to prepare for this centennial-scale Qianfan Zhengdu Conference, the rewards are extremely rich."

"Fine."

Xu Zhangqing naturally would not refuse.

"Then let's leave it at that for today. We'll go to Xuanxin City together in a few days." After saying this, Chu Qiu turned and walked toward He Qi.

Soon, one man and one crane rose from the ground and quickly departed.

Judging by the direction, they should be returning to Ling Beast Valley.

Xu Zhangqing withdrew his gaze and looked down at the Flower Bud Boat in his hand.

Normally speaking, this thing should indeed be given away as a gift.

But thinking about attending the Qianfan Zhengdu Conference, a good boat would definitely be indispensable.

Unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to summon the Yao Long Avoid Water Boat.

Therefore, he could only use it temporarily for now, and after the matters in Xuanxin City were settled, find another time to see who to give it to.

After making up his mind, Xu Zhangqing quickly infused his Wood Spirit Power into this Flower Bud Boat, then tossed it toward the empty space ahead.

After absorbing Spiritual Power, the Flower Bud Boat expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its entirety was composed of flowers.

The main body was a Seven-Pistil Jade Flower.

This flower naturally contained Jing Shui Wood Spirit Qi; its petals were semi-translucent jade-white, with a faint pink blush at the edges, each petal several zhang wide, its texture as tough as the toughest Ling Wood, yet possessing the flexibility of a flower.

When the seven petals spread outward they formed a round cabin, the inside covered with a layer of fine Spirit Silk Velvet, a soft cushion woven from the flower's own pollen mixed with Golden Silkworm Silk.

Warm to the touch, it could absorb the jolts of flight.

They were connected to each other by some demon beast's great sinews, which could freely stretch and contract, allowing the petals to flexibly adjust their opening angles, and could also form comfortable seats, expanding to a maximum diameter of three zhang, accommodating over ten people riding at the same time.

The part at the flower's pistil was the control center.

Condensed from dozens of golden flower stamens, its top supported a fist-sized spirit stone, which was also the Array Eye of the Spiritual Array.

Around the spirit stone, seven small flower leaves surrounded it, each corresponding to the function of one of the seven petals.

For example, the first small leaf on the left controlled the petals' fragrance.

The third small leaf on the right regulated flight height.

And so on and so forth; every small leaf had a function.

Clap clap clap!

After observing, Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but applaud, exclaiming, "The Blacksmith who refined this Flower Bud Boat is simply a genius, perfectly grasping the inner needs of buyers; no wonder it sells so explosively at the Inviting Moon Immortal Sect!"
