Chapter 117: They've Become a Boat Clan
The outer pavilion in Yinxian City is a replica of Shen Fengzhi.
The true outer cabinet, and even the entire Lingwei Sect, is contained within the Lingwei Seal in Yun Yici's sea of consciousness. Yun Yici can access the inner and outer cabinet's records at any time.
Therefore, the outer palace held little appeal for her, and Yun Yici left when the time was almost up.
When she came out, Yan Jing was waiting outside to meet them.
The disciples of the Nanhua Sect stayed in the outer pavilion for a whole month.
It will take a month for everyone to come together.
After returning to the villa, Yun Yici learned that a lot had happened in the past month.
For example, the twelve sects met again.
At the meeting, the people from Wuji Dao Sect, whether they had fallen and hit their heads or something else, said that they hadn't achieved anything in this sword-testing competition and demanded a rematch.
Not to mention the Nanhua Sect, the other ten sects, including the Weapon Sect, the Medicine Valley Sect, and the Alchemy Sect, all said they wouldn't participate.
All the disciples are busy studying in the outer pavilion; who cares about the rankings of the Sword Trial Tournament?
The Wuji Dao Sect was so embarrassed that they stormed back home in anger.
Then, Wen Fuyue used her connections to establish a relationship with the sects behind Feng Nianxuanzhu and the others.
In fact, considering Yun Yici's close relationship with the Outer Pavilion, other sects, no matter how unwilling, had to give Nanhua Sect some face.
Therefore, the Nanhua Sect quickly gained a great reputation among other sects, which can be considered a good result.
Finally, after the news of the outer pavilion's affairs was relayed back, Gu Ruyi had already begun organizing and arranging for the second batch of disciples to come to the outer pavilion to study.
Therefore, the disciples had two choices: return to the sect or stay in Yinxian City and return with the elders later.
As for Yun Yici and his fellow disciples, they had a third option: to follow Wen Fuyue out to have some fun, no, to travel.
In fact, Wen Fuyue originally planned to keep Rong Xuan in Yinxian City to study, as he could see that Rong Xuan was very fond of the books in the outer pavilion.
However, Rong Xuan, perhaps realizing what he was going to do, insisted on following him.
As for Mu Yunjian, needless to say, he hasn't yet taken human form and has no human rights.
Wen Fuyue planned to leave with him and the imposter fox, and find a safe place for him to transform and settle the little fox demon, so that their true identities would not be discovered.
Yun Yici, on the other hand, was thinking of seeing the Buddha through to the West.
The little fox was someone she had promised Qian Sui to bring out, and it could attract heavenly lightning for her tribulation at any time.
She couldn't just shirk this responsibility and leave it to Wen Fuyue.
Moreover, she hadn't traveled far from home much, so she was quite happy to travel with Wen Fuyue.
The system approves. Coming to the Rakshasa Illusionary Sea and not gaining any luck points is a huge loss. Going out for some fun might just lead to meeting a new lucky person.
Ning Tinglan was the most obedient, never causing trouble for her master, nor making any demands on him.
However, his solitary figure, coming and going alone, was lonely and forlorn, like a lone goose abandoned by its flock in winter.
Wen Fuyue had never shown favoritism, and since she figured she might as well bring them all since she was going to bring one, two, or three anyway.
Thus began Wen Fuyue's career of mentoring four apprentices.
Having made her decision, Wen Fuyue explained the situation to Chu Chen and the others before bidding farewell to Feng Nian and the others.
It's common for masters to take their disciples on trips in various sects, and there's no need to report it to higher authorities. So, Chu Chen and the others readily agreed and let them go.
The night before their departure, Wen Fuyue, along with Yun Yici and the others, met with Feng Nianxuanzhu and his group.
The next day, just before departure, Ji Heng somehow received the news and presented a small spirit boat.
This small spirit boat was unconditionally gifted to Yun Yici in the name of Yinxian City, commemorating the precious friendship between the two individuals.
The cost of building a spirit boat is at least two to three million spirit stones. As the saying goes, one should not accept rewards without merit, so Yun Yici had no intention of accepting them.
To everyone's surprise, after being refused, Ji Heng drove the spirit boat and chased after the master and his disciples all the way, determined to pursue them to the ends of the earth.
In the end, with no other option, Wen Fuyue decided to accept it for Yun Yici.
In reality, while it's said to commemorate precious friendship, the real reason is still the interests of the outer cabinet.
Since the emergence of the Outer Pavilion, it is no exaggeration to say that a large number of cultivators have flocked to Yinxian City, indirectly promoting its development.
The outer pavilion is located in Yinxian City, and Yinxian City has always been attractive to cultivators.
The Rakshasa Illusionary Sea has disappeared, which means that the trial locations for the Twelve Sects will no longer be chosen in Yinxian City. Only the Outer Pavilion can inject new vitality into Yinxian City.
The relationship between the outer cabinet and Yun Yici made Ji Heng willingly offer up the spirit boat.
Imagine if Yun Yici, dissatisfied, caused the Lingwei Sect to move the outer pavilion elsewhere.
This change had almost no impact on Yun Yici and the other cultivators, but it was fatal to their Immortal City.
Ji Heng's act of voluntarily gifting the spirit boat today was to safeguard long-term interests.
Seeing that Wen Fuyue had accepted the gift on Yun Yici's behalf, she smiled and led her entourage back to the city.
After she left, Wen Fuyue explained to Yun Yici, "If you don't accept it, Young City Lord Ji won't let you go."
"It's worth about two or three million, and it saves us the trouble of traveling. If you don't want to cooperate with Yinxian City in the future, I will return this gift money on your behalf."
Yun Yici wasn't stupid; it was already incredibly difficult for her to release the outer pavilion right under the noses of the Twelve Sects.
If it is discovered that she can move the outer cabinet at will, she will be immediately kidnapped and the outer cabinet will be made private.
Yun Yici said, "It is probably fate that the outer pavilion was located in Yinxian City. Young Master Ji is also a wise elder. How could I possibly complain about this or that?"
Compared to the benefits that the Outer Pavilion brings to Yinxian City, this spirit boat is a worthwhile gift.
Yun Yici thought that since the spirit boat had already been collected, there was no point in being sentimental anymore. She might as well take it out and use it, so that she and her master and disciples wouldn't have to sleep in the wilderness.
After thinking it over, she directly commanded the spirit boat to recognize her as its master, and then made it revert from its shrunken palm size to its original form. After that, the master and his disciples boarded the spirit boat.
The spirit boat was very spacious, with five rooms on each side of the cabin, enough for each of them to have a room and some room to spare.
However, the room isn't the most important thing right now.
After the bulky spirit boat transformed into its original form, it landed on the ground and could not fly at all.
Fortunately, Rong Xuan was proficient in various magical artifacts. He and Yun Yi left the helm room, which contained a steering wheel that required a large amount of spiritual energy to use.
In short, it's a money-burning exercise.
Ji Heng thoughtfully prepared a large bag of spirit stones on the side. Yun Yici reluctantly spent a full ten thousand spirit stones before the spirit boat could finally start moving.
Fortunately, the modern spirit boats are equipped with the latest star-gazing board. As long as you input the direction you want to go, it will automatically move in the direction specified by the owner.
Otherwise, Yun Yici would not only have spent money, but also suffer, having to spend every day in the helmsman's room responsible for steering the ship.
Therefore, spirit boats are not something that ordinary cultivators can afford to maintain.
