Chapter 46: Departure and Teaming Up.
It's not a big deal for Master to go without eating or drinking for a few days. Besides, since there hasn't been any purchase of elixirs, Master has already prepared some pills that can keep him full for a long time. So for several consecutive days, he stayed in his own yard and meditated, without going out.
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed. Early in the morning, No.1, dressed in a new outfit and with a magical spell, changed his facial appearance and arrived outside the mission hall. After glancing around, he went straight in.
这任务殿不管白天黑夜，都是开着的，里头总有人轮值。所以就算无一来得再早，也都是能进去的。
本以为进去后还要问一下这里值事的人才能知道，没想无一刚进去，四下一看，就看到了殿内一侧较空旷的区域被一个灵光结界罩着，并且结界上头闪动着几个字，灵脉探索聚合点！
"Okay, that's quite straightforward. It seems I wasn't early enough, I didn't expect so many people were already waiting." Wu Yi couldn't help but think it was quite simple when seeing this scene. At the same time, Wu Yi was secretly alert to the enthusiasm and attentiveness of other people. After all, with so many people and such dedication, it seemed that this trip wouldn't be that easy.
Regarding this enveloping barrier, he had no other questions, as he was familiar with this kind of regular barrier. He enveloped himself in magical energy and entered. After all, on the day of registration, he had left his magical imprint, and this barrier recognized and allowed entry based on the magical imprints of all participants. If the magical energy did not match the imprints present in the barrier, one could not enter. Of course, those who set up the barrier and individuals with excessively strong abilities could also enter. The former had a back door, while the latter could simply force their way through.
Inside the barrier, there were already a dozen or so people scattered about. Some gathered in small groups while others stood alone, paying no attention to one another. Glancing around, it was apparent that no one here was familiar to each other, and many of them were able to change their appearances just like No. 1. No. 1 selected a corner for themselves, then stood still and started waiting.
Soon after arrival, more and more people started coming. Shortly before the agreed time, all the expected guests should have arrived. As soon as three people entered the barrier, the entire barrier turned green, which served as a statistical indicator. Translated content:
The barrier changed color, and shortly after, the barrier opened again, revealing a circular hole. Four individuals dressed in Holy Sword Sect attire entered through the opening. They all appeared young, consisting of three males and one female. It was evident that one of the men, who had a blank expression on his face, was leading the group. As soon as the barrier opened, this man took the lead, and the others seemed to follow him implicitly.
"Everyone is here. I am the team leader for this mission, Ren Tao. Follow us and let's go out now. If there's anything, we'll discuss it on the way."
Sure enough, it was him leading the way. Ren Tao glanced around, then uttered these words and walked out of the mission hall. The other three followed suit. More than a hundred people who had gathered here earlier also walked outside with them upon hearing this, silently tagging along in the crowd.
When everyone came out of the mission hall, they discovered that there was already a silver-white, tens of meters long ship parked on the plaza outside the hall. The ship was covered with transparent crystals, and there was a door on its side. Heavy waves and the other four had already stepped onto the ship and were now looking down through the transparent crystals.
"This flying ship is quite big!" Wu Yi looked at the ship and couldn't help but marvel. It must be a spiritual weapon; otherwise, ordinary magical tools wouldn't be made in such a large size. Its value must be quite high."
“上船吧。”那上头的重涛的话语传来，众人惊讶大船，虽然一阵骚动，但是也都一一登船。
船上空间很大，通过侧面的门上去，直接就通过楼道上了甲板，这船高度也有进十米，内里应该有不少房间空间的，不过看着意思，这些人应该是没机会看内部的空间的了。毕竟就消息来看，那处地方虽然远，但飞行的话，也就几天时间，而这飞船的话，估计一天就行，所以带载甲板一直到目的地的可能性更大一些。
Sure enough, everyone went up to the deck, and Zhongtao instructed everyone to find a place to rest. The spaceship would take them to that place and they would probably arrive at night. He also ordered that there be no trouble on the deck, otherwise they would suffer the consequences. After that, he took the other three people from the Sacred Sword Sect into the building on the ship, leaving everyone else on the deck.
After the departure of several people on the deck, the atmosphere instantly became chaotic, filled with constant noise, though not particularly loud.
However, this cacophony was soon interrupted as a blue light flashed around the spaceship, and the entire hull was enveloped in a blue forcefield. The spaceship trembled, slowly floating upwards in a vertical manner. After rotating in the air in a certain direction, another blue light flashed, and the entire spacecraft began to fly swiftly towards the direction opposite to the bow. From the perspective of the square below, the massive spaceship transformed into a colossal blue light, ascending into the sky, and then turned into a streak of blue light flying away, disappearing on the distant horizon.
The overall process of starting the flight is very stable, with only a slight vibration when ascending. During the acceleration phase, there is no sensation of tilting at the back for the people inside. It is really impressive.
随着飞船飞行起来，嘈杂的众人停了下来，各自走到了甲板船沿往外面看去，却是见到下方大地高速的远去，无一对比了一下，这速度比自己御剑飞行快了两三倍，想着自己也买了一艘船，虽然个头小不少，但是速度估计也和这个差距不会很大，忍不住想后面找机会试试才行。
On the other hand, after entering the ship's building and starting the spacecraft, Zhongtao and the others appeared on the top of the building. The metal walls of the building, which were originally opaque, became transparent. The four of them were looking down at the people below from inside the upper building, and the people below noticed them.
Wuyi looked around and saw that inside the transparent room, there was a crystal about the height of a person, floating in the air. The crystal was slowly releasing a shimmering white light that was injecting into the floor below. Wuyi guessed that it should be the control room of the spaceship because when he bought his small spaceship, he had seen the structure diagram. The energy of the spaceship was provided by the power supply device in the control room, and the crystal, about the height of a person, should be some kind of energy source like a spirit crystal.
"These members of the Holy Sword Sect, they must be wealthy! Just look at those energy crystals, they are towering over each person! It's really envy-inducing!" complained a person nearby.
"Yeah, such a huge energy crystal, I can't afford to buy even if it's for sale." his companion also exclaimed.
"Of course, with you being so ugly, even if it was given away for free, no one would want it!" someone on the side said mockingly.
The person who was mockingly called out intended to retaliate, but upon noticing the overwhelming aura of authority emanating from the speaker, they hesitated to argue back.
Watching this scene, Wu Yi couldn't help but feel speechless: "...".
However, he agrees with half of what the person said at the beginning. It is true that being wealthy is indeed enviable. However, there is no way to be jealous. They have confidence, while oneself is just an independent cultivator. So, what's there to be jealous of?
Found a place to stand quietly and look at the scenery outside. Since I don't have to use my own magic to fly, I'll just pretend I'm on a sightseeing boat.
However, the quietness didn't last long. People around me started chatting and even walking around, as if looking for someone to talk to. Although An Yi was looking at the things outside, she also knew roughly what the people around her were doing, and maybe someone would come to find her later.
This guess is not wrong. After a short while, a middle-aged man walked over and started talking to Wu Yi. He invited Wu Yi to join his team. Among this group of people, there are various small teams, consisting of three to five people. Some of them came as a team, while others were like Wu Yi, alone. Once on the ship, they realized they needed to find someone to team up with. This way, if they were to travel together and act as a group, it would provide a bit more security.
The person who just asked two people to form a team, both of them have second-level cultivation, while he himself has third-level cultivation. Without any exception, they immediately declined, saying they need to consider it, which is equivalent to a polite refusal. Looking at their gloomy faces, it is clear that they are not good companions, and it is hard not to think that things might go wrong in the future.
Having rejected the person, I turned around to observe the other people on the ship. I carefully scrutinized small groups and individuals, and unexpectedly, I noticed someone who resembled that eccentric hermit, Qing Shi. The number of people and their stature matched up, and their faces were clearly masked by magic. However, the leader of the group and Qing Shi, who had caused trouble during dinner that day, shared similar body language and aura. I remained cautious, realizing that I needed to be careful, as things could easily go wrong.
Afterwards, several more people came to find Wu Yi one after another. Based on some considerations, Wu Yi agreed to the invitation of a team that already had five members. The team was led by a brother and sister. The third stage elder brother was named Huo Lie, while the second stage younger sister was named Huo Wu. Huo Lie appeared to have a rough and bold personality, while Huo Wu was gentler in nature, completely different from her elder brother. The other several people were Huang Bo, a second stage cultivator, Zeng Da Shi, a newly entered third stage cultivator, and Lin Li, a second stage cultivator. These people were all recruited by the Huo siblings to join the team because there were only two third stage cultivators in the team, but there were three second stage cultivators. Therefore, they planned to invite Wu Yi, who was at the third stage, to join. After considering it for a while, Wu Yi casually agreed to join.
Afterwards, the six of them crowded together in one area, talking and getting to know each other. Through conversation, they discovered that all of these people were relatively easy to get along with and not the kind of people with strange personalities. It actually made Wuyi relax quite a bit, and there was laughter and conversation along the way.
