Chapter 152 The First Test Flight of the Wind-Riding Sail and the Soaring Cloud Boat
Qi Yuan slowly stepped out of the shop, his gaze falling on Song Han who was waiting quietly outside the door. He smiled and said, "Let's split up. As far as I know, the price of a flying magic weapon on the market is around ten spirit stones."
Song Han nodded in agreement. Their eyes met, and without a word, they understood each other perfectly.
At the same time, Dugu Xin, Chu Ji, He Shihui, and Ji Mi all nodded, indicating their understanding and agreement with the plan.
After parting ways, Qi Yuan and Bi Li walked side by side and entered a shop with an antique appearance that seemed to have a rich history. Inside, the shop displayed a dazzling array of flying artifacts, from simple and practical bamboo dragonflies to magnificent flying palaces.
Qi Yuan and Bi Li carefully selected items in the shop. After comparing and considering them, they finally settled on a flying artifact called "Azure Phoenix Wings." The Azure Phoenix Wings were exquisitely designed with a wide wingspan, clearly the work of a master craftsman.
"Boss, how much are these Azure Phoenix Wings?" Qi Yuan asked the old man in the shop, pointing to the Azure Phoenix Wings.
The old man looked up at Qi Yuan and Bi Li, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. He slowly said, "These Azure Phoenix Wings are made from the feathers of a thousand-year-old Azure Phoenix. They are extremely fast and very stable. However, they are indeed quite expensive, costing five hundred spirit stones."
Upon hearing the price, Qi Yuan and Bi Li both frowned slightly. They had less than five hundred spirit stones combined, and they still needed to buy other necessities. However, the allure of the Azure Phoenix Wings was too great for them to bear.
"Boss, we don't have that many spirit stones on us, but can we exchange them for something else?" Qi Yuan asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes. He carefully examined Qi Yuan and Bi Li, then nodded and said, "Alright, as long as you can offer something that satisfies me, the Azure Phoenix Wings are yours."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan and Bi Li exchanged a smile. They knew this was their only chance. So, without hesitation, they took out all their treasures, including precious pills, sharp weapons, and profound manuals.
The old man carefully examined the items they had brought out, then nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good, these items together are worth five hundred spirit stones. The Azure Phoenix Wings are yours."
Qi Yuan and Bi Li were overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly put away the Azure Phoenix Wings. Then, after thanking the old man, they left the shop.
At this time, Song Han also found a suitable shop and purchased a flying magical artifact called "Wind-Riding Sail" for twenty spirit stones. According to the shopkeeper, this Wind-Riding Sail can transform an ordinary ship into a flying magical artifact simply by being attached to it.
After the three reunited, each filled with anticipation for their upcoming adventure, they returned to the inn. In a quiet room, Song Han took out the mysterious Wind-Riding Sail and demonstrated its wonders to Qi Yuan. He gently stroked the smooth sail, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Qi Yuan, look at this Wind-Riding Sail. Once it's attached to a ship, it grants ordinary vessels the ability to fly, transforming them into flying magical artifacts. I think if we have the chance, we might need to buy another ship to use in conjunction with it; that would make our adventure even smoother and more exciting."
Qi Yuan nodded, his eyes also filled with longing for the unknown world. He knew that with such a flying artifact, their adventures would be even more exciting and interesting. The two exchanged a smile, as if they could already see all the possibilities for their future adventures.
Meanwhile, Dugu Xin, Chu Ji, He Shihui, Ji Mi, and the others didn't return to the inn until evening. Although they were tired, their faces were filled with satisfied smiles. The group sat together, briefly exchanging their observations and experiences of the day, sharing their discoveries and insights.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the windows into the inn's rooms, adding a touch of warmth to the tranquil morning. Qi Yuan, Bi Li, and Song Han rose early, preparing to head to the market's ship trading area. They were filled with anticipation and excitement, hoping to find a suitable vessel to match Song Han's sails.
They left the inn and walked along the bustling street towards the ship trading area. The street was teeming with people, a vibrant scene of activity. The sounds of vendors hawking their wares and haggling filled the air, creating a lively market atmosphere. They weaved through the crowd, occasionally stopping to admire the various boats and searching for their desired vessels.
Soon, the three arrived at the ship trading area. All sorts of vessels were moored there, from small fishing boats to massive merchant ships. They carefully examined each vessel, trying to find one that was both practical and comfortable.
After careful selection and comparison, they finally chose a vessel named "Lingyunzhou". The boat boasted a beautiful design, a sturdy hull, and comprehensive interior facilities, making it ideal for long-distance voyages. Most importantly, its price was relatively reasonable and fit within their budget.
After some haggling, they successfully purchased the Lingyun Boat at a reasonable price. They then returned to the inn, hoisted the sails onto the boat, and conducted some simple adjustments and tests.
Soon, they discovered that the wind-controlling sail was indeed incredibly magical. With just a gentle lift of the sail, the Cloud-Soaring Boat seemed to sprout wings and soar gracefully into the sky. As they flew through the air, feeling the exhilarating sensation of the wind whistling past their ears, their hearts were filled with excitement and exhilaration.
Clearly, in their haste, they completely ignored the city gate guards' stern warning—for some reason, the use of flying magical artifacts was strictly prohibited within this city. However, for them, newcomers, the thrill of flight seemed irresistible, and they chose to disregard the prohibition, indulging in the joy of soaring through the skies.
However, just as they were immersed in the joy of flying, an extremely sharp sword aura suddenly slashed down from the sky, heading straight for the Cloud-Soaring Boat beneath their feet like lightning. The three were terrified and hurriedly steered the boat to dodge. However, the sword aura seemed to possess a spirit of its own, moving with incredible speed, catching up to the boat in the blink of an eye.
With a loud "bang!", the Lingyun Boat was struck by the sword energy, shaking violently. The three were thrown about by the sudden tremor, almost losing their footing. Fortunately, the wind-controlling sails on the Lingyun Boat were powerful, and although severely damaged, they still managed to maintain flight with great difficulty.
"Who dares to use a flying artifact here? This is a blatant violation of the city's prohibitions!" An angry voice came from the sky. The three looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a blue robe standing on a giant white crane, his eyes wide with anger as he stared intently at them.
"Please calm down, senior!" Song Han quickly bowed and explained, "We did not mean to offend you. We are just new here and know nothing about the rules. Please forgive our ignorance."
"Hmph! Don't you know the rules? Does not knowing the rules mean you can break them at will?" The middle-aged man sneered, and with a wave of his hand, another sword aura slashed down. This sword aura was even more fierce than the previous one, as if it would crush the three of them in one fell swoop.
