Chapter 658: Giant Flying Ship (3400+ words)

Fourteen years later.

Lin Family Market.

Inside a Grade-A Cave Abode.

Aaron put away the finished second-tier talismans and glanced at his Attribute Panel:

【Name: Fang Yu (Aaron)】

【Talent: Immortality】

【Age: 489】

【Realm: Foundation Establishment Late Stage】

All kinds of cultivation resources were incomparably abundant; as long as one had Spirit Stones, pills like the Foundation Establishment Pill could be bought at will!

A Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Haoran Sect came over, personally checked the Token, and then nodded: "Greetings, fellow Daoist... May I ask where you are from?"

【Spells:... Blood Burning Escape Technique (100/100)】

And surrounding the mountain peak was a circle of cold-faced law-enforcement cultivators.

This was a ticket he had only managed to purchase after spending several thousand Spirit Stones.

Because he had just arrived, Aaron did not choose to immediately sit cross-legged and meditate; instead, he casually took out a Jade Slip and began to study it.

Only by going to Great Gan could he more safely obtain life-saving pills and successfully reach the Golden Core stage!

"Hmm, counting the days, that old thief Qingdan is probably around five hundred years old, reaching the lifespan limit of a Golden Core Cultivator... But I haven't heard any news of a Golden Core Ancestor from the Haoran Sect falling recently; he must have sold out the Lin Kingdom in exchange for a Spirit Pill or method to extend his life?"

The Boundless Desert is fraught with danger, so every trade route convoy has a Golden Core Ancestor personally escorting it.

"Shen Fei!" Aaron cupped his hands: "Is fellow Daoist Hua also a Loose Cultivator?"

"I am much the same..." Aaron replied just as politely.

After all, in the Extreme West, one could truly see the end of their future at a glance; it was filled with nothing but despair!

The sounds from the outside world immediately vanished; inside the small cabin, a 'Dust Removal Array' was running, leaving it spotless and the air quite fresh.

"So it is fellow Daoist Shen." That Haoran Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator was wearing a set of cyan Spirit Armor, clearly a top-tier Magical Tool, and he smiled upon hearing this: "I am Su Cao... I have long heard that the Lin Family Market has gained a second-tier Talisman Master. I also have some research into the art of talisman making; perhaps we can discuss it in the future..."

"This Immortal Cultivator's Array Dao is more comfortable than some technologies..."

Aaron had heard from a Lin Family Foundation Establishment cultivator that their Head of the Family and his heir had personally pulled strings to go aboard the Flying Boat as menial laborers!

Don't look down on it just because it's menial labor; those were still two spots, and in the outside world, who knows how many people would break their heads fighting for them!

Making a round trip every five years is the family's greatest source of wealth!

Due to the huge price difference between the two places and the primitive commerce, even if one only brought a batch of special products from the Extreme West to Great Gan, the profit would be at least double!

Even without speaking of the path of the Dao, if only to earn Spirit Stones, as long as one could get on the Flying Boat, it was excellent.

【Martial Arts:...】

Following the principle of not revealing one's wealth, during his time in the Lin Family Market, he relied on second-tier talisman making to earn Spirit Stones to maintain his daily cultivation consumption.

But Aaron naturally refused with a heart extremely firm in its pursuit of the Dao.

Even so, there were many Loose Cultivators who sharpened their heads, not hesitating to sell themselves into hard labor, just to board the Giant Flying Ship and head to Great Gan for development!

'This Giant Flying Ship travels through the Boundless Desert, then enters Great Gan, and has to take a large detour to avoid the area controlled by the Black Demon Sect, heading toward 'Qianyang City' under the control of the Shushan Sword Pavilion!'

"I am Shen Fei, a mere Loose Cultivator, wishing to go to Great Gan for development."

This Qianyang City is a city composed entirely of cultivators; it is said that Nascent Soul monsters guard it year-round, making it incomparably safe, and it is also one of the most prosperous places within Great Gan.

Aaron arrived at an open space outside the market and saw a huge flying vessel docked on a small mountain peak.

Moreover, during these fourteen years, the Flying Boat trade had been conducted twice, allowing Aaron to figure out many situations.

Three days later, the Giant Flying Ship finally shook with a boom and flew into the sky, like a giant kun, roaming above the high clouds.

According to what Aaron had inquired, the one escorting this time was the 'Haoran Sect' Red Fire Old Monster, who is said to have the cultivation of a Golden Core Mid Stage and once had a record of killing a Golden Core Ancestor, with a fierce reputation...

Five Giant Flying Ships sailed majestically toward the Boundless Desert.

This made him feel both a bit fortunate and a bit regretful.

After giving a few perfunctory words, Aaron arrived at his cabin, only to see that the space inside was extremely small, reminding him of the ship cabins from his previous life.

But this was also normal; if one didn't try their best to compress space, how could they increase profits?

This kind of publicity once made cultivators in the Extreme West very jealous, but unfortunately... the internal space of the Giant Flying Ship is limited, and it is very difficult for Qi Refining cultivators to get on board.

"This is naturally excellent; I am very much in favor of it."

And although Great Gan is dangerous, it also holds an ethereal hope.

After visiting several markets in succession and loading many passengers and goods, the Giant Flying Ship Aaron was on finally reached the border of the Dongwu Kingdom and rendezvoused with the other four ships.

"To tell you the truth, there are many cultivators in Great Gan, and Foundation Establishment cultivation doesn't count for much. I have also gotten to know a few fellow Loose Cultivators; we might as well act together in the future, so we can look out for each other..." Hua Sanniang stated her true intention.

After exposing his attainments as a second-tier Talisman Master, the Lin Family's attempts to win him over became even more assiduous, and even a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Lin Family had personally visited him.

Aaron arrived outside the market and looked at the huge Flying Boat, feeling quite emotional for a moment: "I didn't expect... I haven't left the Lin Kingdom in nearly five hundred years, and now I'm going to Great Gan all of a sudden... How can one explain this life? But people, we need to try new and exciting things and jump out of our comfort zones."

"Good, very good... I hope that old scoundrel's life is tough enough to last until I return, so we can settle the score!"

Just as he was opening his door, a female Foundation Establishment cultivator happened to walk out of the adjacent cabin. Seeing Aaron, she smiled slightly: "Greetings, fellow Daoist. My surname is Hua; you may call me Hua Sanniang!"

Aaron arrived beneath the Giant Flying Ship and took out a Token.

Aaron replied with a smile.

【Skills:... Second-tier Jade Bone (722/1000), Second-tier Talisman Making (1000/1000), Second-tier Artifact Refining (1000/1000), Third-tier Alchemy (45/10000), First-tier Array Formation (100/100)】

【Cultivation Method: Mingyu Art 13th Layer (1293/3000)】

"About to depart, heading to Great Gan..."

"I couldn't ask for more."

A large number of Loose Cultivators watched the Flying Boat from afar, their faces filled with expressions of envy: "Great Gan..."

Although Aaron did not care much in his heart, he nodded repeatedly, chatted for a few more sentences, and only then entered the cabin and sealed the Array Formation.

"Indeed..." Hua Sanniang smiled charmingly, though it was not a charm technique, but rather her natural beauty: "I once founded a small sect, but unfortunately encountered the great war of the Black Demon Sect, and my disciples were killed or injured, leaving me no choice but to leave this heartbreaking place and go to Great Gan to develop..."

Originally, he was still thinking that if he ran into Qingdan, he would just take a look at the appearance of this enemy.

Yet he did not expect that heaven would not grant his wish!
