Stepping out of the gate, they were awestruck by the sight before them. Several towering peaks stood majestically, each topped with a skyscraper. These buildings blended seamlessly into the mountains, soaring into the clouds—truly embodying the saying, "A perilous tower a hundred feet high, one could pluck the stars from the sky!" Connecting the buildings were rope staircases, which from a distance resembled ribbons winding through the mountains. Yet, these staircases were not narrow; upon closer inspection, one could even see horse-drawn carriages running along them. Occasionally, a mountain breeze would blow, but the seemingly lithe staircases remained perfectly still.

Besides the rope ladders, there were all sorts of flying vehicles in the air: flying carpets that could carry two people, mechanical wooden birds that flapped their wings in the wind, small flying boats with two pointed ends, two-wheeled and three-wheeled vehicles with wings but requiring human pedaling power... These were all relatively normal. Others were more unbelievable: winged horses with two wings, mechanical rabbits that flew by flapping their two large ears, sedan chairs with long spider legs that nimbly climbed mountain walls, birdcages with mechanical propellers on their heads... It was truly an eye-opener, as if entering a strange world.

"Welcome to the Star-Picking Tower!" Yunhe smiled as she looked at the amazement and curiosity in their eyes. It was only then that she realized that they were still the same spirited young people, instead of the solemn expressions they had when they first met.

"These are all gadgets that the young people in the building have researched!" Seeing their interest in the flying vehicles, Yunhe gave them a brief introduction.

"Uncle Master!"

Just then, a shout came from the sky, and as soon as the voice faded, a young man with a pair of mechanical wings unfolding from his back landed in front of them. As he landed, the mechanical wings retracted behind him. He was a dark-skinned boy with bright, piercing black eyes, curiously observing Qing Sang and the others.

"who are they?"

"This is Qing Sang, my disciple whom I took in the Four Spirit Continents. The others are her trusted partners!" Yun He introduced her with a smile, and then introduced Qing Sang: "This is my senior brother's youngest disciple, Shao Jie!"

"Greetings, Senior Brother! This is Qing Sang from the Four Spirit Continents!" Qing Sang greeted him with a smile and introduced his companions. "This is my younger brother, Qing Luo! My disciple, Xiao Hui! Liu Shuangyue, Lan Suyu, and Bai Qianhe!"

We greeted everyone and got to know each other.

"Uncle-Master, your wings are so cool, how did you get them?" Xiao Hui asked curiously.

Shao Jie was the youngest among his disciples, so the sudden addition of a junior sister and a junior nephew excited him. He turned around enthusiastically to show everyone his latest masterpiece. "This is a mechanical backpack I made. The gems on the straps are the activation array. Just inject spiritual power into the gems, and the wings will pop out of the backpack." As he spoke, he stepped back slightly and demonstrated how to use it.

"The speed of flight can be controlled by the amount of spiritual power injected!" he said, increasing the injection of spiritual power. With a flap of his wings, he had already flown into the air, and then performed several flips in the air to demonstrate his agility.

The group couldn't help but get excited. Even Yun He nodded in satisfaction. No wonder his senior brother, who had announced a hundred years ago that he would no longer accept disciples, made an exception for Shao Jie. He really had a lot of talent in this area.

After demonstrating for a few moments, Shao Jie nimbly landed back and continued his introduction: "Besides being more convenient than other flying magical artifacts in terms of appearance, I also engraved a lightness array on the backpack to reduce the burden, so you won't feel the weight when carrying it. Moreover, the material I used is mithril, which can absorb a certain amount of damage, so its defensive performance is also excellent!" He looked proud and smug, stroking his work as if he were petting his pet.

“Since it’s weightless when carried on your back and has defensive properties, why not build more protection in the front to better safeguard your inner defenses and maximize the defensive capabilities of this magical artifact?” Qing Sang said, sharing her sudden inspiration after his explanation.

"That's right!" Shao Jie clenched his fist, his face beaming with excitement. "Junior sister, you're so smart! No wonder you're our master's only disciple. I'll go study it right now!" With that, he turned and flew away.

This impulsive and impulsive nature left Qing Sang and the others both amused and exasperated, but they also admired the young man's boundless enthusiasm. (End of Chapter)
