C210 Goodbye, Imperial City
C210 Goodbye, Imperial City
"Master Mo, I hope that you will have a pleasant journey. You can create your own world in the sect as soon as possible!" Seeing Lei Yang taking the initiative to walk over, Shangguan Feiyun cupped his fists and said, without showing the slightest arrogance.
Initially, Lei Yang was a little distracted because he was not there for a while, but after A Mu's turn, he came back to his senses and quickly returned the greeting, clasping his fists together: "Many thanks to the Shangguan Family Head for personally sending me off, I am truly rather flattered!"
"Master Mo is too polite, you are a guest elder of my Shangguan Family, you should have done this before!
Oh, that's right, there is a Shangguan Family plate here, Master Mo should keep it well, if you ever meet with trouble that cannot be solved in Floating Cloud Pavilion, you can use this plate to go to Falling Cloud Peak and find a person called Shangguan Yi Feng. He is a senior of my Shangguan Family, and upon seeing this plate, he will definitely help you. After Shangguan Feiyun finished speaking, he politely handed over a delicate plate made of jade slips.
"Thank you, Shangguan Family Head, for your kindness, I truly deserve it!" After Lei Yang thanked Shangguan Feiyun, she did not decline and accepted the house plate from him. A look of gratitude surfaced in her eyes. After they cupped their fists again, he and A Mu headed straight for the city gate.
However, what Lei Yang did not know was that on a street that was not too far away from the city gate, there was a kind old man smiling at his retreating back. He was none other than Qin Shi from Heaven Fragrant Pavilion.
Lei Yang and A Mu passed through the city gate and looked back. They could still see that among the crowd, Shangguan Feiyun and his youngest son, Shangguan Tianze, were still waving goodbye to him incessantly.
When Lei Yang passed through the city gate once again, he saw the enormous purple Spirit Stones that was embedded above the city gate and thought of the curious youth that had come to Imperial City at that time.
The guards were still the same, their expressions still fierce. However, he was no longer the same him as before, but the number one pill refiner, and also the guest elder of Imperial City.
But for some reason, when Lei Yang saw the purple Spirit Stones once again, he had a faint feeling that there was a connection between the purple Spirit Stones and the vague Qi above Imperial City.
As they followed the crowd, Lei Yang and A Mu quickly walked out of the city gate. On a large open area outside of the city gate, many cultivators were already standing, some of them even had a jade scroll in their hands, it was obvious that the pill refiner who was selected yesterday was already waiting for them, but a large portion of them had come to send them off.
Lei Yang and A Mu found a relatively empty place and quietly waited. After about four hours, a gigantic cloud layer suddenly appeared in the distant sky. It quickly moved towards the city gate, and before long, when the gigantic cloud layer neared, everyone could see clearly that within the cloud layer was a gigantic Cloud Boat formed from clouds.
The gigantic Cloud Boat gradually slowed down as it approached the city gates, and finally stopped above everyone's heads. In a split second, three figures with powerful auras flew out.
When the figure floated to the ground, it had transformed into three middle-aged men who were around thirty years old. The three of them were all very handsome, wearing long robes flowing with ink and water, giving off an extraordinary aura, their entire bodies flowing with immortal energy. Although they were all in the Core Formation realm, they gave off the feeling that they were not ordinary strong.
As soon as he landed, one of the man with the highest cultivation in the late stage of the Core Formation said loudly: "Everyone, the three of us have specially come to welcome the pill refiners chosen by the Elder Han yesterday. All of the pill refiners with the tokens to the Floating Cloud Pavilion have come to line up.
After he finished speaking, he placed his hands behind his back, and a proud expression appeared on the faces of the others, as if they were all from sects.
The moment he finished speaking, the three of them quickly formed up into three queues. After the three of them received the jade slips and checked them one by one, pill refiners climbed onto the gigantic Cloud Boat s with their tokens.
Lei Yang purposely ranked last, because he saw the reluctance in A Mu's eyes, and wanted to accompany him for as long as possible. A Mu stood at the side of the line, continuously moving forward side by side with Lei Yang. As he listened to his master's constant warnings to him, tears had long ago begun to appear in his eyes, but they did not flow out in the end.
A Mu understood that his master had to go to an even bigger stage, because that stage was more suitable for the development of people like his master. His master had said that men did not shed tears easily, so he did not want to be a part of his master's heart when he was walking forward.
Finally, it was Lei Yang's turn. After being examined, he scanned the crowd once more, but in the end, he did not see the gentle and beautiful figure, and a sense of disappointment arose in his heart. Finally, he looked deeply at A Mu, and without looking back, he climbed up the Cloud Boat.
Very quickly, the inspection of the hundreds of pill refiners holding onto jade slips yesterday was completed, and they all mounted the Cloud Boat. The three Floating Cloud Pavilion disciples who came to receive them also returned to the Cloud Boat in a flash.
The man who was at the late stage of the Core Formation waved her hand, and tens of thousands of Spirit Stones flew out of his sleeves, landing in a square funnel in front of the Cloud Boat. In an instant, the gigantic Cloud Boat began to tremble, and showed signs of activating.
Lei Yang stood at the edge of the Cloud Boat and looked down. He could still see that A Mu, who was in the crowd, was still doing his best to wave at him.
Lei Yang had originally thought that this A Mu, wasn't he too sick of it. It had only been less than a year, yet he already had such thoughts for this master of his. However, he did not know that, when he looked carefully, he immediately felt's fingers pointing nonstop at his side.
Lei Yang intentionally or unintentionally swept his gaze in that direction, but unexpectedly, he just happened to see a beautiful figure that was as gentle as water. He was standing there, smiling as he looked at him.
Therefore, Lei Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction, and the feeling of loss from before was also instantly swept away.
The Cloud Boat gradually accelerated, and the ground began to shrink before Lei Yang's eyes, all the way until the person in front of the city gate became a small black dot, and the majestic Imperial City began to become smaller and smaller, until everything on the ground was completely covered up by the clouds in the sky. Only then did all the pill refiners, who were like Lei Yang, slowly return to the deck of the Cloud Boat center, and started to close their eyes to meditate.
Lei Yang found a spot to sit down and gradually calmed down as well.
It was only at this point that he realised, although the Cloud Boat's outer appearance seemed to be formed from clouds, the internal deck was actually made of wood, and the space was extremely shocking. Even though there were hundreds of pill refiners scattered around the deck, it looked extremely loose, and he estimated that this boat could probably hold over a thousand people.
Moreover, as he moved forward at top speed, he actually did not hear a single sound of wind on the deck, so there should be an invisible array formation isolating him, because previously, when he was climbing onto the Cloud Boat, he had felt the order badge in his hand emitting a light screen that enveloped his entire body, that was how he was able to easily climb onto the Cloud Boat.
Furthermore, from time to time, he would also see the man in front of him, who was at the late stage of the Core Formation, pouring Spirit Stones s into the funnel at the very front of the Cloud Boat. Furthermore, there were tens of thousands of Spirit Stones at the same time.
Just a single flight was enough to consume such a huge amount of energy. This made Lei Yang's heart ache, but at the same time, he felt like he was looking at the deep roots of Floating Cloud Pavilion.
As the Cloud Boat continued to advance, the entire deck gradually fell into silence. As the Imperial City behind him grew further and further away, Lei Yang couldn't help but recall every single detail of the past year that he had spent in the Imperial City.
From the time a headless fly walked out of that mysterious Secret Realm, by chance, it had walked step by step from that strange Imperial City to this place, and it had even accepted a proud disciple. All of this made Lei Yang smile at the bottom of his heart, and at this moment, even he himself couldn't help but begin to admire and admire himself.
In this year in Imperial City, it could be said that it was really exciting, but in the end, it was still the time to leave. Sometimes, life would be like this, and many things could not help but happen.
Facing the road in front of him, Lei Yang was about to face another brand-new start. Exactly what kind of exciting or what kind of hardship and twists awaited him in front of him, caused a strong sense of anticipation to uncontrollably rise in his heart.
