Chapter 179: Chapter 97: Blessed Land, Sect_1

Everything that happened far away in the Imperial Capital, Shen Yuan was not aware of.

Or rather, even if Shen Yuan knew that some people were referring to him as The Disaster God of Venus, he would probably just frown and choose not to pay too much attention.

At this time, the group had arrived at a port in Yun Province, where there was a direct cruise to Qingping County in Cang Province.

Walking on the port pier, Gong Buyu, holding Bai Xue, was beautiful and cold in temperament. Her full head of silver hair constantly attracted the attention of those around her.

As for Shen Yuan, who was dressed in white and carrying a sword, he did not attract much attention in contrast.

The influence of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge had already deeply penetrated the whole of Great Xia, the number of cultivators was scarce, but the number of people hoping to become one was as numerous as fish crossing a river.

Under these circumstances, any attire related to cultivators was eagerly imitated, and there were countless young people on the pier wearing long gowns and swords around their waists. There were also many ordinary people in Taoist robes and monastic garments discussing the laws of cultivation.

Gong Buyu wore an indifferent expression, oblivious to the surrounding gazes.

Xue Mingzhi had booked the largest cruise ship to Cang Province in advance, and was leading the way for Shen Yuan.

The crowd around grew denser, and Gong Buyu finally couldn’t hold back and asked with a slight furrow in her brows,

“Why are we coming to this dock instead of just flying over?”

As soon as Gong Buyu raised the question, a young man who was also preparing to board the ship, laughed and replied,

“Miss, you might not know it but, with the gradual return of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, the skies have begun to fill with a large number of beasts, causing a significant impact on flights.

While the Air Force of Great Xia does regularly clear air routes, ensuring the normal takeoff of planes, the problem lies in the appearance of peculiar gales in the high altitudes over the past two months.

Aircraft made of metal are as fragile as paper in the face of these gales, and several planes crashed due to these gales. Since then, no one has dared to risk flying, instead choosing land or water transport.”

“But there are also cases on land where the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge causes changes in the mountain ranges, and the shifting of mountains has destroyed a large number of railways, making it very difficult to take the high-speed rail.

As there are many water routes within Cang Province, and many bridges and railways have been damaged, taking a cruise is the most suitable choice.”

The young man’s explanation made Shen Yuan look at him subconsciously.

This young man seemed to be in his early twenties, wearing a green long gown. The gown looked simple but seemed to have Spiritual Power Patterns flowing inside, it was likely a quality Vestment robe.

However, the Vestment robe hadn’t been preserved properly, and many of the Spiritual Power Patterns were broken, leaving only a fraction of its power behind.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan also noticed that this young man was already in the Qi Transformation Stage Early Stage. A young girl behind him, who looked about sixteen or seventeen, was at the peak of Essence Refining, quite impressive cultivator level

However, the young man’s patience in explaining did not get any response from Gong Buyu. Gong Buyu did not even glance at him.

What Gong Buyu meant by “flying over” was not taking an airplane, but literally flying over.

If a Great Cultivator at the Peak of Qi Training Stage were willing to consume Mana, it wouldn’t be difficult to fly across thousands of miles to Cang Province. But, Xue Mingzhi was clearly not among them.

Xue Mingzhi, who was walking at the front, had a momentarily stiff expression, and his heart began to feel uneasy.

He was extremely wary of Gong Buyu because the power of a cultivator at the Peak of Qi Training Stage had left a deep impression on him, making him unsure how to respond to her.

“It is good to travel and see the world.”

Shen Yuan’s placid words sounded, and Gong Buyu nodded silently without further comment.

The three of them boarded the cruise ship, leaving the young man who had been speaking animatedly looking quite embarrassed.

The dainty young girl in a pink dress who was following behind him, flipped her ponytail disdainfully and scolded,

“I told you that girl looked aloof. She’s not the type you can handle. Yet, you still went up to her. Have fun being embarrassed now?”

Xuan Kong scratched his head helplessly: “All I wanted to do was make friends with her because she seemed extraordinary, Xuan Le, you are overthinking.”

Xuan Le was still full of disbelief, pushing Xuan Kong onto the cruise.

He handed the ticket to the ticket check crew member, who scanned the QR code on the ticket and casually said, “Third class cabin, seats 26 and 27.”

Xuan Kong’s eyes widened instantly, and waving the ticket, he said,

“What do you mean, third class cabin? We clearly bought first class tickets!”

The ticket inspector, looking upset, didn’t even blink, responded,

“The identification you used to purchase the ticket isn’t yours, is it?

This isn’t a ticket from our cruise company. The ticket says you have a first class cabin, but the information reported to us is for a third class cabin. You were probably swindled by ticket scalpers.

This is the last boat to Cang Province today. You can either get off the boat to find the scalpers, or use the third class cabin.”

Having said that, the ticket inspector ignored the two of them and reached for the tickets of the following passengers.

“Beep! Second Class Cabin.”

Xuan Le had wanted to dispute with the inspector, but she was quickly pulled away by Xuan Kong towards the lower level of the ship where the third class cabin was located.

“Xuan Kong, why are you dragging me? It’s obvious that the scalpers must have conspired with them..”
