Chapter 36 Golden Boat Breaks Boundaries
Chapter 36 Golden Boat Breaks Boundaries
Mu Xiaoqing was adamant in her stance, keeping Luo Sifan at arm's length. Even if Luo Sifan wanted to get within a few feet of Mu Xiaoqing, he couldn't manage it.
Luo Sifan shook his head, deciding to ignore Mu Xiaoqing's strange behavior for the time being.
Approaching the shelves, one by one, the various collections on the shelves were put away.
More than ten alchemical texts and illustrated catalogs, half of which were collected by myself in the past, with my own annotations still on them.
Two of the alchemical texts were written by Luo Sifan himself, with "Motian Danhua" written by the ninth-level alchemist being particularly valuable.
Luo Sifan's soul was scattered and his immortal soul was locked. Even now, reading it feels obscure and difficult to understand. I vaguely remember that the idea of peering into the heavens in "Motian Danhua" was beginning to take shape. The matter of breaking through the mortal realm and entering the immortal realm and ascending to heaven happened not long after the book was completed.
How did this sutra end up with you?
Luo Sifan raised the scripture in his hand, somewhat puzzled.
Mu Xiaoqing remained indifferent, as if it were none of her business.
"Just take it, stop talking nonsense."
Luo Sifan froze, and could only silently put the alchemy scripture into the Mirage Pearl Pavilion.
Xu Huanzhen sat cross-legged in the mirage pearl, cultivating herself, and paid no attention to the increased items on the shelves in the room.
Luo Sifan then took a jade box containing the formula for the elixir, the formula for the Marrow Cleansing Pill was clearly visible.
Most of the dozens of pill formulas were rare and exquisite formulas collected by Luo Sifan in the past. The remaining pill formulas, however, were collected by unknown individuals and were all rumored to be high-level rare and exquisite pill formulas.
Luo Sifan didn't bother to ask any more questions and simply collected them one by one.
The remaining items were of various kinds, mainly top-quality medicinal materials, which were exactly what Luo Sifan had collected in the past.
There were also some unusual techniques and rare treasures that Luo Sifan recognized but didn't have time to appreciate them all, so he quickly collected them all.
The four walls and shelves were completely cleared away.
Luo Sifan had gained a lot. Two days ago, he would have been overjoyed at suddenly becoming richer than a country, but now there was no joy on his face.
Mu Xiaoqing's unusual behavior always made him uneasy, and he vaguely felt that the road ahead was unpredictable and that there was a big pit waiting for him to step into.
Mu Xiaoqing slowly walked towards the desk, rolled up two items on the desk, and floated them in front of Luo Sifan.
A jade pendant, a letter.
Luo Sifan couldn't open the letter. With the jade pendant in hand, a wisp of consciousness broke into the infant spirit, and Luo Sifan gained some insight.
Spiritual energy flowed into the veins within the jade pendant, illuminating them one by one. A small piece of the jade pendant gradually came to life, and a mythical beast pagoda flashed by.
In his spiritual consciousness, a faint sense of intimacy arose from afar, as if something had already established a connection with him in his soul.
The land of Taoyuan Island, stretching for thousands of miles, gradually trembled. In broad daylight, a bright moon suddenly rose, its light turning from white to blazing, as if it wanted to shine as brightly as the sun.
Mu Xiaoqing's face turned cold. She hurriedly pulled out an object, which expanded in mid-air, resembling a silver-awning golden boat with two pointed prows.
Without a word, Luo Sifan was lifted up by Mu Xiaoqing and shoved into the golden boat.
"Young master! Something strange has happened here. We can't wait any longer. This ship has the power to break through boundaries and escape far away. Hold on tight!"
Mu Xiaoqing gave a few hasty explanations while silently reciting calculations and sensing the abnormal power of Peach Blossom Continent.
His expression shifted between light and dark, revealing an unusual air of anxiety.
"We can't wait any longer!"
Mu Xiaoqing pressed down with both palms, and the golden boat, which was more than ten feet long, suddenly shrank to the size of an inch. The void trembled, and countless rays of light appeared and disappeared.
"Go!"
Mu Xiaoqing gave a cold rebuke and pressed down with both palms. The golden boat, barely an inch long, flashed into a beam of light like a streak of light.
Mu Xiaoqing's delicate body trembled violently from the force, her face turned pale, and she watched as the void calmed down and the light gradually faded.
A fleeting look of melancholy crossed his face.
Several claps sounded behind her. Mu Xiaoqing calmed her discomfort, turned around with a cold face.
A young man in golden robes, his hands still raised, looked at Mu Xiaoqing with a grin.
"I woke up a little early and almost caught my sister cheating. Sister, you're not angry with me, are you?"
Mu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes at the boy:
"Sister, would I need to steal a man? I'm just afraid your eccentric temperament will frighten your brother-in-law!"
The boy looked somewhat surprised:
"It's actually my brother-in-law? It seems he's the one my two sisters have been longing for! He didn't even introduce me to him. I've been thinking about him for a long time."
By the end, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, unable to hide his resentment any longer.
Mu Xiaoqing raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself that she had just realized it, and felt a little relieved about her hasty decision to let Luo Sifan go.
"Why are you holding a grudge against your brother-in-law? How old are you? Still so willful! As the ruler of a realm, wouldn't it be better to do some serious work?"
Mu Xiaoqing didn't hold back when criticizing her younger brother.
The boy, with a shameless grin, took Mu Xiaoqing's hand, nestled into her arms, and murmured:
"Sisters, you are human beings, but I don't even know who I am. I always do things that I don't understand myself. I'm afraid that once you have a brother-in-law, you'll run off together and abandon your cheap younger brother!"
His head and face trembled, a deep sorrow welled up within him, and his voice even trembled with a hint of tears.
Mu Xiaoqing patted the boy's shoulder thoughtfully and whispered a few words of comfort.
The boy, seemingly calm, suddenly shoved Mu Xiaoqing away, breaking free. His face was icy cold as he muttered:
"No! I still can't help but kill! Sister, I'm so sorry!"
They fled far away, not daring to even glance at Mu Xiaoqing's face again.
Mu Xiaoqing was used to it and didn't bother with him. She sat down blankly in the study, lost in memories of the past few days.
A shadowy figure drifted in the heavens, which was the location of Luo Sifan's soul, which was being drawn by the Soul-Stabilizing Ring.
Losvanka was trapped inside the golden boat, unable to move due to the powerful spatial forces.
Fortunately, the golden boat's power to break through boundaries was extremely strong. Although it was rocking so much that he couldn't tell east from west or up from down, Luo Sifan wasn't worried about being caught in the spatial turbulence and losing his life.
Mu Xiaoqing's calculations were rushed, and Jin Zhou only roughly determined the location.
After the golden boat broke into Yunzhou, it suddenly rose back about ten feet, stopped and stabilized, and found itself in a strange wilderness.
Luo Sifan, feeling weak in the knees and trembling with fear, climbed out of the golden boat and sat cross-legged on the grassy slope to rest for a while, gradually regaining his strength.
Xu Huanzhen was also released, her face pale and swaying precariously.
Luo Sifan felt Xu Huanzhen's pulse, silently selected a red stem root about a foot long from the spiritual materials, and handed it to Xu Huanzhen.
"Bite open the ginseng head, hold it in your mouth, and it will be fine in fifteen minutes."
Xu Huanzhen did as instructed, and after resting for a moment, her complexion gradually returned to a rosy hue.
"This ginseng can keep you from falling into a coma for half a month. During this time, do not use your sword energy recklessly or fight with others."
Xu Huanzhen was already pleasantly surprised that she could sit up and sit as usual, and nodded in agreement repeatedly.
He stood up and looked around, observing the terrain, the shape of the mountains, and the vegetation.
Luo Sifan, meanwhile, kept groping around on the golden boat, looking for any mechanisms he could access.
Such a large object is not easy to collect. Even with all his spiritual energy, Luo Sifan could not move it even a fraction of an inch, let alone put it into the Mirage Pearl.
Unable to find a solution, Luo Sifan, feeling dejected, remembered the letter Mu Xiaoqing had given him.
This time it was easy to open, and the letter was indeed in Mu Xiaoqing's handwriting.
Luo Sifan's expression changed as he read the two letters. His mind was filled with a thousand thoughts, but he finally understood why Mu Xiaoqing had come.
At the end of the letter, when the origins and uses of the jade pendant and the golden boat were mentioned, a smile finally appeared on Luo Sifan's bitter face.
Touching the white soul-fixing ring on his finger, he felt a faint sense of vigilance, as if he were being spied on.
Luo Sifan knew that Mu Xiaoqing was behind it, and his heart warmed. He aimed the ring at the key point of the golden boat. The array was connected, and after spiritual energy was poured in, the golden boat suddenly contracted and was taken into the Soul-Stabilizing Ring.
Controlling the golden boat is beyond Luo Sifan's current capabilities, but storing it is easy.
