Chapter 39

"Jet plane?"

The first thought that flashed through Wang Yu's mind was this name that everyone on Blue Star knew, and at the same time, his mind became somewhat chaotic.

If it weren't for the ancient style of the iron boat and the figure standing at the front, who was vaguely Daoist Luoyue of the Four Fiends of Lanshan, he would have almost thought that Blue Star had already opened a channel between the two worlds and sent out advanced aircraft to invade the otherworld in advance.

"Sure enough, the Purple Cloud Miasma can really confuse the divine sense of the Four Fiends of Lanshan. Now we can travel with peace of mind." Beside him, Yin Linglong, seeing the iron boat fly away without the slightest pause, patted her chest twice, her jade-like face full of joy.

"With the protection of this Purple Cloud Miasma, this time it should indeed be safe and sound. But is what Daoist Luoyue is driving the standard mechanical flying boat you mentioned before? It seems a bit different from Elder Cui's spirit boat, and also a bit different from our self-propelled boat." Wang Yu watched the direction the iron boat was heading, let out a long breath, and asked the woman.

"Of course they are different. Mechanical self-propelled boats, mechanical self-propelled carriages, and other creations are just the lowest-grade standard series products produced by the Tiangong Sect, mainly aimed at rogue cultivators with tight spirit stone budgets and wealthy individuals among mortals."

"But mechanical flying boats are different. Although they are also standard series products launched by the Tiangong Sect, they already count as magic artifacts. Although they use cheap materials, have no defensive power, and don't have many spirit patterns inscribed, and require an astonishing amount of spirit stones to consume, their flight speed alone is already not weaker than some low-grade flying magic artifacts refined by artifact refiners."

"Moreover, mechanical flying boats are cheap and plentiful. Generally, they only cost half the price of a low-grade spirit boat, and if they break, you only need to go to a Tiangong Sect shop to replace some mechanical parts to use them again. They are very popular among low-grade cultivators." Yin Linglong was no longer surprised by her future husband's "ignorance" and patiently "popularized science" for him again.

"This Tiangong Sect is so powerful, is it in the State of Wu?" Wang Yu revealed a thoughtful expression and asked again.

"I don't know. No one knows where the Tiangong Sect's mountain gate is, just as no one knows where the Hundred Treasures Pavilion's main headquarters is. Both appeared suddenly in the cultivation worlds of various countries hundreds of years ago, then quickly recruited local cultivators and established branch shops and pavilions in every state and prefecture."

"Major sects also tacitly accept their existence and do not drive them away. So I suspect that behind both of them, there are at least existences at the level of Golden Core ancestors; otherwise, those cultivation sects wouldn't be so easy to talk to." Yin Linglong shook her head and said.

"So that's it. If there really is a Golden Core ancestor sitting in town, it's indeed very different. Linglong, have you ever seen a Golden Core ancestor up close?" Hearing the name of Golden Core, Wang Yu was instantly moved and couldn't help but ask with some longing.

"Existences like Golden Core ancestors are like the pillars of the sea, even in cultivation sects; even ordinary sect disciples probably don't find it easy to see them."

"If our Yin family's Foundation Establishment ancestor were still here, I might have had the opportunity to pay respects, but now how could there still be such an opportunity?"

"I only hope now that there is still someone in the Yin family who can join a sect, so that the Yin family can be protected for another few decades of peace." Yin Linglong's mouth revealed a bitter smile, her words full of unwillingness.

"Why, is the Yin family in trouble now?" Wang Yu heard something and couldn't help but ask.

"It can't be called trouble, it's just that because the Yin family once produced a Foundation Establishment cultivator, there is a sect token in the clan, which counts as a sect vassal family."

"But a family token can only receive sect protection for a hundred years. If there are no disciples in the clan who reach Foundation Establishment or join a sect within a hundred years, the token will be taken back, and the family will no longer be recognized by the sect, thus becoming rogue cultivators." Yin Linglong hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.

"So, the reason you asked me to marry into the family at the beginning and recommended me to the sect was actually just to keep the Yin family's sect token." Hearing this, Wang Yu frowned, his tone becoming somewhat unfriendly.

"Hmph, yes. If you hadn't awakened your bloodline and weren't young, why would I have been good to you from the beginning and asked to marry you as soon as I opened my mouth? Do you really think I, Yin Linglong, can't find a desirable husband and am worried about not being able to marry?"

"If you change your mind now, I can take back the Yin family token you have on you, and this matter will end here."

Yin Linglong gave a light hmph, her face somewhat pale.

"Why would I change my mind? This is clearly a win-win situation. I can join a sect and get a beautiful wife, while your Yin family gets protection." Wang Yu suddenly laughed, looking completely unconcerned.

"It's best if you can think this way. But you can rest assured, although those with awakened physical bloodlines are not as good as those with dual spirit roots or top-grade spirit roots, they are enough to be mentioned in the same breath as those with variant spirit roots."

"Moreover, the sect that protects our Yin family is the Four Symbols Sect. This sect specializes in beast-taming techniques. As long as you can condense three spirit roots or have one mid-grade spirit root, you should have a high probability of being accepted."

"I, Yin Linglong, swear that even if you cannot pass the Four Symbols Sect's entrance test, you are still my, Yin Linglong's, husband. I, Yin Linglong, will follow the chicken if I marry a chicken, and follow the dog if I marry a dog; this will never change because of this, otherwise, may my heart be pierced by ten thousand swords and may I be struck by lightning and die." Yin Linglong's complexion looked a bit better, but finally, she suddenly pointed to the sky and said in a resolute tone.

Witnessing this scene, Wang Yu was somewhat moved and couldn't help but step forward, grab the woman's slender hand, and say with some emotion:

"Since you have this heart, Linglong, I won't change my mind either. Why don't you and I bow to heaven and earth now, take heaven and earth as our matchmaker, become true husband and wife now, and spend a romantic night together immediately?"

"You... what are you thinking about? How old are you? Now is the time to focus on cultivation. Even if we really become husband and wife, we must wait at least two or three years until you are an adult and your essence, energy, and blood are completely stabilized before we can think about husband-and-wife matters." Hearing this, Yin Linglong's face turned crimson instantly, and she hurriedly pulled her jade hand out of Wang Yu's grasp, saying somewhat stutteringly.

"So there's no sweetness at all, and we're just husband and wife in name for the first two years." Wang Yu's eyes widened a bit, not hiding the disappointment on his face at all.

"Instead of having such lewd thoughts, you'd be better off cultivating more and condensing your spirit root sooner. That way, I can bring you back to the Yin family earlier and contact the Four Symbols Sect in advance."

"I also need to start circulating my energy now to recover my magic power. This mechanical self-propelled boat is so narrow, and there are only the two of us on the boat. The remaining journey on the Chishui River is not that easy to travel either. We should both be more careful."

Yin Linglong said reproachfully, then stopped paying attention to the youth, sat cross-legged on the boat by herself, and began to inhale and circulate her energy.

Seeing this, Wang Yu could only helplessly sit down cross-legged as well, fished out a small bottle from his body, poured a drop of gathering spirit liquid onto his brow, and began to circulate the second level of the Yin Water Technique, inhaling and cultivating.
