Boarding Life

Chapter 774 774

If I really persist until the end, not only can I make Qin Qi owe me a favor, but I might also win his affection.

But now, quitting halfway is equivalent to showing up for nothing this time. Not only did I fail to gain Qin Qi's favor, but I've also offended the Zhang Family.

You could say it's a total loss!

Ming Hu was beside himself with anger, his eyes turned towards Ming Yao.

All hope could only be pinned on Ming Yao now.

Unfortunately, his niece didn't seize the best opportunity from the start. Now, if she wants to make a move, I'm afraid the situation won't be as optimistic as before.

On Qin Qi's side, he followed Master Bai Ling and Monk Huiming, leaving the Zhang Family.

Seeming to have sensed Qin Qi's puzzlement, Master Bai Ling chuckled and said, "Qin Qi, little friend, your confusion will naturally be resolved when we take you to a place."

Qin Qi couldn't help but ask, "Master Bai Ling, where are we going?"

Master Bai Ling smiled, "Dao Inference Department."

Qin Qi was slightly taken aback.

Although he had long heard of the Dao Inference Department's reputation, he had never been there.

He didn't say much more.

After all, Master Bai Ling had saved him, and with the other's strength, he simply couldn't resist.

Soon, Master Bai Ling waved a large hand, and a boat appeared out of thin air before Qin Qi's eyes, startling him.

"This, what is this!" Qin Qi was stunned.

Monk Huiming laughed beside him and said, "There's no need for surprise, Qin Qi, little friend. You'll naturally understand when you've seen more of these methods in the future."

"This is the storage technique, which allows you to place whatever you want into a bag."

"However, these storage bags are particularly scarce. You rarely see them in the Martial Arts District!"

Master Bai Ling also grinned and said, "Alright, get on the boat!"

Qin Qi hesitated for a moment but then boarded the boat.

Once on board, an even more astonishing scene unfolded.

For Master Bai Ling merely waved a sleeve, and the boat soared into the sky.

The speed of the boat was incredibly fast, much faster than a car, reaching high in the sky in the blink of an eye.

Qin Qi took a deep breath, "This, this boat can actually fly?"

Master Bai Ling smiled, "What's so surprising? With today's technology, helicopters and planes can both fly. Their speed is much faster than this boat."

Qin Qi couldn't help but say, "I was just thinking, if cultivators can truly fly and traverse the earth, why are they still confined to such a small place like the Martial Arts District?"

Master Bai Ling shook his head, "There are quite a few reasons for that. First of all, those who can cultivate are few, and high-level cultivators are even fewer in number."

"Like this sailing, one must reach at least the fifth stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage to maneuver freely. Yet modern technology even has drones now."

"Second, modern technology has mastered extremely advanced weapons that can target people halfway across the planet. Technology can even break through the bounds of Earth, which is something we cultivators can't do!"

"And third, you and I as cultivators refine not only our skills but also our temperament. As long as it doesn't affect our interests, we have no desire to contest with others. Moreover, the changing times are inevitable."

Qin Qi pondered Master Bai Ling's words briefly.

The main idea was that they couldn't win, and there was no need to fight either.

And so, under the boat's guidance, after about twenty minutes, the trio arrived at a mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist.

"This place is..." Qin Qi grew curious.

Master Bai Ling, hands clasped behind, said, "This is the boundary of the Martial Arts District. You've been here as well; it's the depths of Ore Vein Mountain! However, martial artists and cultivators in the Martial Arts District can only access the periphery of Ore Vein Mountain, not the inner area!"

"Leihu Mountain and the Dao Inference Department are actually inside Ore Vein Mountain, enjoying the true abundance of the mountain's spiritual energy resources!"

Qin Qi was stunned, "Spiritual energy?"

Master Bai Ling winked, "Haha, it's actually what you usually call air essence. But we call it spiritual energy!"

"In fact, the meaning is the same."

Having witnessed so many outrageous events, Qin Qi was no longer surprised by these explanations.

Soon, Master Bai Ling piloted the boat to land on a peak deep within Ore Vein Mountain.

Amidst the clouds and mist, the peak had another world.

Upon landing, what Qin Qi saw was an extremely grand temple standing before him, its construction so magnificent it seemed like something from a movie.

In addition, Qin Qi saw many people dressed similarly to Zuo Qingyue and his fellow Daoist brothers before.

Upon closer inspection, these people had no low cultivation. At the very least, most were at the True Master seventh or eighth stage, while some looked young but had Half Step Foundation Establishment prowess.

Many disciples stepped forward, "Greetings, Uncle Bai Ling, greetings, Master Huiming!"

Master Bai Ling smiled, "Let's go inside. And also take Qin Qi, little friend, for a tour of the Dao Inference Department!"

As Qin Qi walked, he couldn't help his curiosity, "Master Bai Ling, does the Dao Inference Department really have so many geniuses?"

Master Bai Ling chuckled, "Truthfully, Qin Qi, little friend, you might not believe it, but the top disciples of the Dao Inference Department are quite a bit stronger than your current abilities!"

Qin Qi took a deep breath, "The Dao Inference Department accepts so many disciples, cultivates so many geniuses, yet never competes for resources. Why is that?"

Master Bai Ling laughed heartily, "Because the Dao Inference Department is already enjoying the most abundant resources."

Qin Qi fell silent.

Master Bai Ling grinned, "I understand your point, Qin Qi, little friend. The reason the Dao Inference Department doesn't get involved in any Martial Arts District affairs isn't that we don't want to; it's because we have much more important responsibilities!"

"More important responsibilities?" Qin Qi frowned, "What do you mean by this, Master Bai Ling!"

Master Bai Ling wasn't in a hurry to explain but paused in front of a courtyard.

He glanced inside, "This time, aside from inviting Qin Qi, little friend, we also have two other guests you've met before."

Qin Qi was a bit perplexed.

Master Bai Ling smiled, "Miss Wenren, please come out!"

The voice from within the courtyard slowly emerged, "Uncle Bai Ling, weren't you supposed to have me end my seclusion after Qin Qi breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

"Back then, I observed Qin Qi, though he was exceptionally talented, but making it to the Foundation Establishment Stage surely wouldn't be possible within two to three years."

"Why rush? After all, that matter can't be accomplished in haste!"
