Chapter 3938: Relay Planet

The monster beasts also didn't recognize this thing, so Lei Ming had to dig out the primordial pill to examine it, tried to absorb it, and the result shocked them.

"It seems like a Space Crystal, containing the power of spatial laws!" Lei Ming exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Liuyun also took it and tried to absorb it, and indeed it had the same effect as a Space Crystal.

"You keep it and absorb it!" he said, giving the primordial pill to the monster beasts.

As for the ferocious beast's meat, Ye Liuyun also cut off a piece and grilled it to try, and Bai Hu was the first to taste it, finding not only that it was non‑poisonous but also that it contained spatial laws.

Thus everyone gathered around and began eating.

The giant insect was eaten on the spot by the monster beasts and the women, half of it, and the remainder was saved for the next meal.

After eating, everyone returned to absorb and comprehend the spatial laws contained within.

Ye Liuyun also kept eating. Although he had already mastered the complete Dao principles, the insect's inspiration made him realize there was still room for improvement, so he also absorbed and comprehended it.

Once he cultivated, he discovered that the spatial laws the insect had grasped were even closer to nature.

It can now be confirmed that its spatial power is innate, and that it should live in the starry sky, perhaps even directly in the void.

The duplicate was already piloting a Flying Boat, far from the previous area. Yet suddenly it seemed to hear the insect's roar again.

Although the sound was faint, as if coming from far away, he thought that at his current realm, an auditory hallucination was impossible.

He hurriedly used his Golden Pupil to search around, but found nothing.

"Perhaps that insect has companions," Ye Liuyun said after learning this, merely speculating and telling the duplicate to be more cautious.

The duplicate dared not rest, constantly monitoring the outside. Yet on the subsequent journey, they never encountered that kind of insect again.

Later, they arrived at a Human Race planet, stopped to rest, and went to purchase some supplies for the journey's consumption.

Ye Liuyun and the duplicate also gathered the Kuailei and Flying Boat, and went out to scout the planet's situation.

This place is not a star system; it's just a solitary planet lingering in the starry sky. Moreover, Flying Boats come and go here unusually often, so he was rather curious about this phenomenon.

In the local cities, there are many inns, taverns, and trade guilds, as well as a larger market where many set up stalls to sell various items and cultivation resources.

The Martial Cultivators here mostly wear Mercenary or sailor attire, making the place resemble a supply hub Yi Cheng.

Ye Liuyun and the duplicate found a tavern, entered, and inquired about the situation.

"Shopkeeper, give us five hundred servings of each of these dishes! And bring five hundred vats of wine!"

As soon as they entered, they heard a customer buying large quantities of food and wine, clearly for resupplying.

Ye Liuyun and his group found an empty seat, and soon a shop assistant came to attend to them.

"Shopkeeper, we're from out of town. What place is this? It looks just like a Yi Cheng to me."

He asked the shop assistant and even offered a few Spirit Stones as a gift.

The shop assistant, receiving Spirit Stones, smiled and began introducing the place to Ye Liuyun and the others.

"Patron, this is your first time here, right? This whole planet is actually a relay planet. It was set up to provide supplies and trade for passing Flying Boats.

Each city on this planet is arranged roughly like this, except the main city is the largest and has the most complete amenities.

People who often navigate the starry sky, as well as Mercenaries and sailors, are familiar with this place. There is also a dedicated area for hiring Mercenaries and sailors, and many are regulars here.

All cities prohibit fighting; the main duty of the City Lord's mansion is to maintain public order here. But outside the city, no one governs.

"I see. I never imagined there were places like this in the starry sky!"

Ye Liuyun couldn't help but admire; the person who came up with this idea is very business‑savvy.

"So is this the main city?" the duplicate asked as well.

"This is not; the main city is more than ten times larger. If you wish to go, you must head west; it's about a day's journey by Flying Boat." The shop assistant was quite enthusiastic in his explanation and didn't worry about them not eating.

Ye Liuyun couldn't leave immediately, so he ordered a few dishes and wines to taste, found them quite good, bought some more, and then left the tavern.

Then they boarded a Flying Boat to rush to the planet's main city. Along the way, Flying Boats shuttled back and forth. The Metal Puppet piloting the Flying Boat had to stay focused to avoid collisions.

Ye Liuyun and the duplicate both stayed in the cockpit, using their Golden Pupils to monitor the outside.

When they saw the main city, they recognized it at a glance, because it truly was more than ten times larger than the previous city.

Ye Liuyun and his group landed the Flying Boat outside the city, asked the locals, and confirmed it was indeed the main city.

After entering the city, they first found a mid‑range inn to stay in, then planned which supplies to procure and who should go out for fresh air.

Although the city's security is guaranteed, they didn't want to be targeted, followed into the starry sky and attacked. He wasn't afraid of battle, just found it troublesome.

About sixty percent of the Martial Cultivators here are in the Taixu realm, thirty percent in the Cave Heaven Realm, ten percent in the Hédào Jìngjiè, and none are particularly frightening.

After reserving a Side Courtyard at the inn, they didn't linger and immediately went out to stroll, first buying a map of the main city from a nearby trade guild to avoid wandering aimlessly.

The main city is divided into many districts, roughly organized by herbs, pills, Formations, refining material, weapon treasures, Flying Boat warships and accessories, techniques, rare natural treasures, clothing and daily goods, food, ferocious beasts, slaves, Mercenaries and sailor hiring zones, etc.

The main thoroughfares are occupied by large trade guilds and grand taverns; these establishments are high quality and reputable, but their prices are relatively higher.

The rows of small shops and open markets behind have mixed quality goods; one can often find good items there, depending on one's eye.

Just by seeing the map, Ye Liuyun knew this place was more than just bustling.

This is a hub where resources from multiple star systems are centrally traded; merely looking at the items here would benefit many people around him.

He immediately returned to the inn, released Alchemists Lin Luoyi, Lin Xiyao and others, letting them purchase herbs and examine the local alchemy, and sent Hou Yunfeng and Qi Yue to accompany and protect them.

Then he also released Sun Que, Tong Xin, a painter, Qiong Qi and other Refinement and Formation masters, letting them inspect the materials, refining, and Formation levels here.

The duplicate took Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng, Xuan Yuan Ling, Luo Yurou, Long Nv and several other women to the genius treasure zone to select high‑end resources.

Ye Liuyun took Lei Ming, Ye Tiandao, Tang Xinyao, Feng Hong Xiu, Feng Wanru and Ye Jin Yuan to purchase clothing, food and other supplies.

Lei Ming and Ye Jin Yuan, those two, are not trusted by others when accompanying Ye Liuyun.

And Ye Tiandao and the other women, besides helping other women choose clothes, also have the task of watching over the two of them.
