Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 230: The Unique Big Insect Bridge, Finally to the Xingyun Pavilion
Xiao Yan walked slowly on the busy street. From time to time, various shouts could be heard on both sides of the bluestone paved street. A wide variety of goods were displayed in the shops on both sides. Many people were constantly shuttling back and forth among them like ants. The whole Tianya City was filled with a sense of being extremely busy and crowded.

"According to the database, in theory, only the Luo family, who controls the space wormhole, sells spaceships. We can just go directly to the space wormhole."

Xiao Yan naturally had no objection to Ah Xing's words. He nodded and moved forward according to the established navigation.

It took about half an hour to cross half of Tianya City, and then a huge black stone square appeared in Xiao Yan's sight.

The square is extremely wide and is built entirely of black stone. Despite its coldness, it gives off a sense of solidity. At this moment, the square has been blocked by many guards. On a towering stone platform within the square, there is a faint and powerful force of space emanating from it.

After just a quick look at the square, Xiao Yan and his companions walked straight to the right side of the square, where there was a shop with extremely luxurious decorations.

"Excuse me, are you looking to buy a spaceship?" Xiao Yan walked into the store and someone immediately came to greet him.

After a quick glance, he saw five palm-sized wooden boats placed on the shop counter. There was a faint flash of silver light on the wooden boats. This thing actually contained a very weak force of space.

Seeing Xiao Yan nod, the clerk's face also showed joy.

Spacecraft are expensive and they can only sell a few in a whole year.

When someone came, they would naturally entertain them well. However, Xiao Yan had no intention of wasting time talking to them. He said directly, "Take out the best spaceship you have."

The clerk was stunned when he heard this. How could he be so direct without even asking the price? Could he be teasing him?

"Sir, our spacecraft is not cheap." The clerk coughed and reminded.

"No problem. I can afford it."

Xiao Yan himself couldn't remember how many gold coins he had now. With all the gold and silver treasures that Tong Rui had obtained from the ruins last time, plus his own income from refining medicine, it could be said that ordinary Dou Zun might not be as rich as Xiao Yan.

Seeing Xiao Yan's insistence, the clerk could only nod helplessly. Just take it. It won't lose any meat just to take a look. Anyway, the square is full of Luo family guards, some of whom are even Dou Wang powerful men. Even if they can't sell it, they won't lose anything.

If it is really sold, it will be a big profit.

In fact, the clerk’s strength is not that weak, and he has the cultivation level of a Dou Ling.

Thinking of this, the clerk signaled with his eyes to a maid next to him. After receiving the instructions, the maid went to the backstage.

The clerk led Xiao Yan and the others to sit at a table nearby.

A moment later, the maid came out with a small wooden boat on a tray.

Taking the boat from the maid, the clerk smiled and said, "There is an energy input point at the bow of this spaceship. As long as you inject some fighting spirit here, you can make the spaceship fly in this space channel. Spaceships are divided into different levels, with level nine being the highest and level one being the lowest. The highest level spaceship here is level five, which is this one."

"Price: 5.5 million gold coins!"

“So expensive!”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was a little surprised. Five million gold coins were more valuable than some high-level Xuan-level skills. After all, Xiao Yan mostly bartered in the academy. If we really talk about actual gold coins, without the treasures obtained by Tong Rui in the ruins, Xiao Yan probably wouldn't have enough on him. Most people really couldn't afford it, no wonder the clerk had to remind them.

"If you think it's expensive, we have other levels of spaceships to choose from. A level one spaceship only costs 1.1 million gold coins. Although it's much slower, it's also an economical option."

The clerk said with a smile, and then tried to signal the maid to take a space ship directly from the counter.

Obviously, what was placed on the counter was the lowest-level spaceship.

"No need, just buy this one." Xiao Yan raised his hand to interrupt.

The more advanced the spaceship is, the faster it is. It is not a disposable item. After arriving in Zhongzhou, the spaceship will be used frequently, so there is no need to save money.

Moreover, 5.5 million gold coins were just a drop in the bucket for Xiao Yan, a sixth-rank alchemist.

"What? Sir, you want to buy this spaceship?" the clerk asked in astonishment.

"Of course, don't you want to sell it?"

"Sell, sell, sell, of course!" the clerk looked happy.

Next, under the clerk's gaze, Xiao Yan calmly paid a huge sum of money.

The clerk was secretly shocked and the smile on his face became much warmer. A person at such a young age could take out so much cash without batting an eyelid. He must be someone with a very powerful background.

Xiao Yan had no idea what the clerk was thinking, so after paying the bill, he walked straight into the square.

After paying a toll of 50,000 gold coins, Xiao Yan entered the square without any hindrance, walked slowly up the towering stone steps, and a minute later, he appeared on the stone platform.

This stone platform happens to occupy the center of the square. Looking down, one can take in the entire scene of the square and even the surrounding hundreds of meters from a high vantage point. At this moment, there is a strong man guarding the stone platform.

After Xiao Yan glanced at these people briefly, he turned his gaze to the center of the stone platform. There, a huge black hole, which was ten feet in size, was slowly rotating, and astonishing bursts of spatial force were overflowing from it.

"Is this the space wormhole? It's indeed a grand project..." The dark void, like a black hole, emits a strange suction force. Looking from afar, all one can see is an endless darkness and a shocking weird whistling sound.

Speaking of space channels, Xiao Yan knew that this thing was a bit dangerous because there was a very small probability of encountering space storms in the space channel.

Unless you are a Dou Zun, if you encounter this thing, you will either die or be crippled. It is extremely terrifying.

"This technology is indeed somewhat similar to the Big Worm Bridge, but the formation that fixes the wormhole is indeed very clever. With a slight improvement, the energy required to maintain the Worm Bridge can be greatly reduced." "Tong Rui?" Hearing this voice that was obviously not mechanical anymore, Xiao Yan knew that it was Tong Rui who was paying attention to the novel technology in front of him through A Xing again.

After such a long time, Xiao Yan also knew that Tong Rui was only interested in technology and would not be so bored as to monitor him through Ah Xing.

After all, his data has been recorded in the database and a cultivation calculation model has been established, so Tong Rui doesn't need to keep an eye on himself all the time.

"Well, I have programmed Ah Xing's program to remind me when new technologies are discovered." Although there was no need to explain, Tong Rui still felt that it was better to have less trouble than more.

"Then I'll enter the wormhole."

"Well, go ahead. It's a good opportunity for me to observe the difference between this worm bridge and the normal technological universe."

Xiao Yan's figure disappeared instantly the moment he stepped into the space wormhole. A silver light slowly spread out and finally flashed into the dark space.

The moment Xiao Yan stepped into the space wormhole, his vision suddenly went dark and his body suddenly felt weightless, but this feeling quickly dissipated after a moment, and then a strange space channel appeared in his sight.

What appeared in front of Xiao Yan was a space passage with no end in sight. On both sides of the passage, there were faint silver space barriers that seemed to appear and disappear.

Inside the space wall, there is a passage of about ten feet in length. At the end of the passage, there is a deep darkness. The upper and lower directions of the passage are also the kind of darkness that makes people feel a little uneasy. Faintly, there are strong space fluctuations seeping out from it. The whole passage is extremely silent, without any strange sounds.

Xiao Yan waved his hand, and the newly purchased spaceship appeared in his hand. As soon as this little thing appeared, it was like a fish entering the water, swelled up in the wind, and in just a few blinks of an eye, it turned into a ship several meters long and wide. On the surface of the ship, wisps of light silver space force swam back and forth, looking extremely mysterious.

"This thing is quite interesting, no wonder it is so expensive." Tong Rui showed a hint of interest behind the screen.

"Then let's set off." Xiao Yan jumped and stepped into the boat.

The next moment, the entire ship began to tremble slightly, and finally, a thrust burst out from the stern. With a whoosh, the space ship turned into a silver light, crossing the space as fast as lightning, and shot towards the empty darkness.

In the space channel, the speed of the space ship was extremely terrifying, it could almost be described as chasing the moon under the stars. Xiao Yan and his companions were sitting on the ship, and they could only see the silver space walls on both sides moving backwards with a whoosh. That speed was so fast that it was dazzling.

Although the speed inside the space channel is much faster than the outside world, the boredom is also more intense. The monotonous deep darkness is so intense that if you look at it for a long time, those with weak minds will feel a little irritable. In this boredom, time passes quietly...

Half a month later, Zhongzhou.

This is a vast and lush plain. In the middle of the plain, there is a gravel square. The ground in the center of the square is covered with many mysterious symbols. These symbols all emit a faint silver light, and faintly reveal a hint of spatial fluctuations.

The square was quite quiet. At a certain moment, a strong wind suddenly blew up from nowhere. Then, a silver halo appeared in the center of the square. A boat shadow flashed out, then quickly shrank, and finally a figure fell out of it.

As Xiao Yan landed, the silver halo slowly dissipated.

"Zhongzhou, we've finally arrived..."

"Is this Zhongzhou? This place is so desolate. However, the energy of heaven and earth contained in the air seems to be much more than that of the Northwestern Continent." Xiao Yan looked around and said.

"However, Zhongzhou is naturally incomparable to remote places like the Northwest. The opportunities here are far more than those in the Northwest Continent, and there are more powerful people. Therefore, I have to be more careful in my next actions."

"Axing, let's go on."

"You must be Young Master Xiao Yan." At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded.

Xiao Yan looked closely and saw a white-haired man standing out of thin air. He asked cautiously, "May I ask who you are?"

"Don't worry, I am the person sent by His Excellency Medicine Saint to pick up Young Master Xiao Yan. This is the message His Excellency Medicine Saint left for me to give to you."

With Ah Xing's reminder that it was harmless, Xiao Yan opened the scroll that the old man handed to him respectfully. After opening it, he learned that the old man was a Dou Zong in Xingyun Pavilion who was good at finding people and escaping. Yao Lao rewarded the old man with a seventh-grade elixir and asked him to escort Xiao Yan to Xingyun Pavilion intact.

"Teacher, it's true. This is such a waste." Xiao Yan said helplessly with a smile on his face and shook his head.

Afterwards, after putting away the scroll, Xiao Yan looked at the old man who had landed in front of him at some point, and said, "Then I'll trouble you to escort me all the way."

"Young Master Xiao Yan, you are too polite." The old man did not have the airs of a Dou Zong who was one level higher than Xiao Yan.

Xingyun Pavilion is located in the southern region of Zhongzhou. Among the so-called four pavilions, the disciples of Xingyun Pavilion are the rarest. Of course, although the number is small, fortunately, the quality of Xingyun Pavilion is still quite good. Every disciple in the pavilion has a strong talent for cultivation. Therefore, in the southern region of Zhongzhou, many people know that if you meet a disciple of Xingyun Pavilion, you must not underestimate him because of his age or other reasons, because Xingyun Pavilion never accepts mediocre people.

Among the four pavilions, Xingyun Pavilion not only has the fewest disciples, but is also the most mysterious. The other three pavilions all built their headquarters in a grand manner, so that people can feel the strength of this sect at a glance. But Xingyun Pavilion is different. If you are not someone who knows Xingyun Pavilion very well, it is probably difficult to even find the location of its sect. This makes Xingyun Pavilion more mysterious in the eyes of outsiders.

The Dan Region is extremely far away from the Southern Region of Zhongzhou. Even with the speed of Xiao Yan and others, it took them nearly half a month to truly enter the Southern Region. Then it took another seven or eight days before they stopped their long journey at the outskirts of a mountain called Tianxing Mountain in the Southern Region.

“The Xingyun Pavilion is located in the Tianxing Mountains. Haha, it’s a bit strange there. If there is a special way to get in, even if a Dou Zun strongman comes, he won’t be able to get in.” Outside, the Dou Zong elder respectfully introduced to Xiao Yan.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded, looked towards the mountains in the distance, and sighed: "I'm finally going to see my teacher."

The Dou Zong elder just smiled slightly, with a hint of envy and respect in his eyes. Then he turned around and continued to lead Xiao Yan, rushing towards the mountains. Xiao Yan quickly followed.

The group flew through the vast mountains for nearly ten minutes before the Dou Zong elder in front slowly stopped. Xiao Yan, who was following behind, was startled. He looked around and found that this was still a lush forest. There were no buildings or mountains around. It was just an ordinary forest.

"Traces of hidden spatial fluctuations were discovered."

At the same time as Ah Xing spoke, the Dou Zong elder also said, "Master Xiao Yan, this is Xingyun Pavilion."
