I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

Chapter 454 Spiritual Sand

Then Hua Yi saw Ruan Mei in the holographic projection turn around and operate various precision devices. Before long, the background noise that had been running quietly subsided.

She shut down the lab equipment.

“I made all these machines myself, so I can’t buy them from outside. I’ll just move them directly onto the Starry Sky Train. Send me the data model of the whole train—never mind, I’ll ask Black Tower for it. I remember she put a doll on the train.”

Ruan Mei agreed and has already begun considering how to study the Moon of Fetal Movement on the Starry Sky Train.

Compared to one's own living quarters or the confined compartments of a space station, the available space on a train is definitely much smaller, and one has to carefully consider what equipment to bring. Moreover, one's hermit life may be disrupted, and one will have to interact with the train crew.

The moment Hua Yi extended the invitation, Ruan Mei already anticipated the trouble that might ensue.

Geniuses can not only identify problems, but also solve them.

If space is limited, simplify the equipment; if communication is required, show the corresponding patience.

Compared to studying the month of fetal movement, these minor details are not worth mentioning.

Ruan Mei didn't say much, but nodded decisively, preparing to set up a laboratory on the Starry Sky Train, and still having the capacity to consider Hua-Yi's situation.

“I contacted Black Tower before, and from what she said, she is preparing to install a sub-server for simulating the universe on the train, so that you can conduct tests without returning to the space station.”

"That's quite thoughtful."

Hua Yi had anticipated this.

Let alone building a simulated universe login port, even if the Black Tower causes a bigger disturbance on the Star Train, he has a contingency plan.

The fact that a genius known for his willful and reckless behavior could be so well-behaved for so long, even though he could be remotely controlled, already surprised Hua Yi.

"It's alright, anyway, I reckon the maintenance of the simulated universe will take longer than the testing time. As for whether the Black Tower will conduct dangerous experiments on the Starry Sky Train—according to the train conductor Pam, she can forcibly disconnect the carriages and punish uncooperative passengers, you know?"

"...I will focus on studying the Moon of Fetal Movement itself, and no longer try to cultivate the Envoy of Abundance like I did with the Star Shattering King Worm."

Ruan Mei understood immediately.

Regardless of whether Pam, the train conductor, has any coercive measures to restrain geniuses, Hua Yi hopes that Hei Ta and Ruan Mei will do something safe and not plant bombs on the train.

Chatting with smart people is so easy; they understand you as soon as you start.

"Alright, I will be waiting for Miss Ruan Mei's arrival in Luofu."

This is not the first time Hua Yi has sent people to Luofu.

Another girl he had personally recommended was disembarking from the starship somewhere on the celestial vessel.

"Welcome to Lord Lingsha's new post. The Dan Ding Division has completed the inventory and records. Please inspect them."

"Lord Lingsha, you have been away from Luofu for many years and have not returned to your clan. Why don't you come with us to Lin Yuan Realm first?"

The two groups of people were clearly separated at the dock: one group came from Dan Ding Si, and the other group was from the Chi Ming Clan.

The group from the Dan Ding Division wore dark green cloud-patterned dresses. The woman leading them was just a Dan Shi (alchemist), who kept her head slightly bowed and spoke respectfully, but her voice clearly betrayed her weakness.

Ling Sha had heard about it when he was on Zhu Mingxian Ship. The master of the Medicine King's secret teachings was hidden in Luofu Dan Ding Si. He was originally the most likely successor to the position of Dan Shi Chang, but as his crimes were exposed, he was imprisoned.

The already struggling Dan Ding Division suffered a devastating blow, and the remaining members lived in fear that the division would be completely wiped out one day.

Among the various departments in Luofu, the Dan Ding Department is the most declining. It's quite normal for alchemists and physicians to be nervous when they see him.

But another group of the Wisdom Clan...

Ling Sha remained calm and glanced at the leading woman.

He was dressed in magnificent clothes and possessed an extraordinary demeanor; he was the Dragon Master of the clan.

During the special period when the previous Dragon Lord of Luofu, Yin Yuejun, committed a great crime, and the current Dragon Lord, Bai Lu, was too young, the Dragon Masters were the decision-making class of the Vidyadhara Clan.

Given that the Chiming and Xianzhou people are allies and maintain their own autonomy, it's not unreasonable to say that the Dragon Masters of Luofu are no longer under anyone's control.

At this very moment, the Dragon Master actually came out to greet him personally, with a friendly smile on his face.

This was after the Luofu Rebellion, when it was taught a lesson and lowered its proud head.

Ling Sha's thoughts raced, and she did not remain silent for long.

"By order of the Alliance's high command, I have come to assume the position of Director of the Pill Refining Department. I am grateful for the kind invitation from Master Long, but as the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean, and the Pill Refining Department has been thrown into turmoil. Once I have finished my official duties and conditions permit, I will visit Lin Yuan Realm."

“You child, you are originally a disciple of Luofu, so how can you say you are just visiting? We welcome you home anytime.”

The woman with the vision had a loving expression, and even when she heard Ling Sha refuse, she smiled gently.

"Then Lord Lingsha, please attend to your official duties. If there is anything you need help with, the clan will do its utmost to assist you."

"I am honored by your trust and have been appointed to the position of Director of the Alchemy Department. I should make some achievements. However, it is not appropriate for me to interfere in the Alchemy Department with the help of my clan."

Ling Sha gave a watertight response to the Dragon Master until she was certain that she couldn't achieve anything immediately and led her people away. Only then did she speak to the female alchemist who was standing reservedly beside her.

Where is Lady Dragon Girl now?

"This……"

Seeing the hesitation on Dan Shi's face, Ling Sha frowned.

"Something happened to her?"

"No, no! Lady Bailu is well, she's just been playing these past two days..."

Ling Sha almost thought she had misheard.

The Dan Ding Si was shrouded in gloom, and the Chi Ming clan was also beaten down and lost much of their arrogance. Bai Lu, the dragon girl who carries medicine, is both a Chi Ming and practices medicine at the Dan Ding Si. How come she is more free?

Seeing Lord Siding's puzzled expression, Miss Danshi quickly explained.

"It was approved by the higher-ups. It seems to be related to the Ten Kings Division. They say that Lord Bailu helped capture Suiyang and also oversaw the Dan Ding Division, putting in a lot of effort. He should be given a few days off."

Ling Sha had no recollection of the Ten Kings Division being such a considerate department.

To put it bluntly, looking across the entire Immortal Ship Alliance, the most inhuman and ruthless organization is probably the Ten Kings Division.

There is an external driving force.

is it him?

The person who recommended himself and got several generals to reach a consensus.

The originally complicated promotion process was simplified again and again. Even though Ling Sha's background was not so clean, and his master was the former Si Ding of Luofu, a criminal who was expelled from Luofu and exiled to the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship, he could still take up the post naturally.

In just a few days, from Emperor Gongtian conveying his message to traveling across the starry sky on a star raft and arriving at Luofu, a series of tasks were completed.

"You all return to the office first; I need to visit someone."

Chapter 455 General Shence is Suspicious

The environment can influence the atmosphere of communication.

It always feels more intimate and less formal to entertain guests at home, but Hua Yi felt that it was a bit abrupt to send a message to a girl he was meeting for the first time saying "Come to my house."

So, when choosing a teahouse under Tingyun's wife's name, Hua Yi made a call and arranged a quiet private room.

The two sat down across the table. The freshly brewed tea was steaming, and a faint, elegant aroma, distinct from the tea's fragrance, wafted through the air.

It's from Ling Sha.

Her brown hair was neatly combed, her eyes were bright and captivating, and her ink-wash style dress suited her perfectly, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to the already beautiful girl.

But more striking than her beauty was the crimson blush on her face when she accepted the teacup.

At first glance, one might mistake Ling Sha for wearing red silk gloves, the kind with a gradient color, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this is actually her skin color, with scales faintly visible on it.

Such characteristics are rare even among the Vidyadharas, and should be classified as "Red Dragon".

Hua Yi remained polite and did not stare at the other person's hands.

"Miss Ling Sha, instead of going to the Pill Refining Department, you came all the way here to see me. Is there something you want to say?"

"I heard that it was you who recommended me to serve as the Director of the Imperial Stables."

Ling Sha continued to use humble terms, speaking in a quiet and gentle tone, but compared to when she faced her fellow Chi Ming clan members at the dock, she showed more emotion on her face.

Her crimson eyes, filled with curiosity, scrutinized Hua Yi.

"Have we met before?"

"No."

Hua Yi calmly met Ling Sha's gaze.

"The Dan Ding Division is leaderless, and Bai Lu has to act as the Vidyadhara Dragon Lord while also comforting the anxious alchemists and physicians. She's exhausted, so I thought I'd find someone to share the burden with her."

"It is truly remarkable that Mr. Hua Yi, though living in Luofu, could think of his concubine, who is far away on the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship."

"Let me think of a reason—I saw your file on Luofu's internal network. You are a member of the Vidyadhara clan, just like Bailu. You also studied under the former Siding, and your medical skills are superb. You also understand the basic work of Siding. You are exactly the kind of talent Luofu needs."

This statement is reasonable and well-founded.

But Mr. Hua Yi, are you making up an excuse on the spot?

Ling Sha was speechless for a moment. She took a sip of the tea and found that the taste was exactly what she liked, which made her even more surprised.

It's impossible for Luo Fu's archives to record his own dietary preferences.

That should be information about the relatives of criminals, containing specific content that ordinary people don't have access to.

Even if Hua Yi, an unknown figure on the surface, was of great help during the Luofu Rebellion, there was no reason for him to have multiple generals step forward to promote him.

The unexpected kindness left Ling Sha completely bewildered.

Hua Yi looked at the girl, who seemed hesitant to speak, and finally a smile appeared on his lips.

"Miss Ling Sha's former name was Dan Zhu, right?"

"Yes. I once lived in Luofu under this name, studying under a master..."

Although she didn't know why Hua Yi wanted to help her return to her hometown, sitting face to face, Ling Sha had a gut feeling that this person was definitely not a bad person.

Both reason and emotion provide the judgment.

The latter is based on first impressions, while the former is inferred from the attitude of Emperor Gongtian, a prominent figure in the alliance, towards Hua Yi in this matter.

After a brief pause, Ling Sha continued to speak.

"Back then, my master was caught up in political strife and was exiled to a foreign land. I also went far away with her. Now I have changed my name and returned with the help of Mr. Hua Yi. I still feel a little unreal."

“I have a friend who looks a lot like you, both in name and appearance.”

The friend should be replaced with the wife, but Hua Yi felt that saying "you look like my wife" in front of the girl was too frivolous.

It's not just similar, it's practically identical.

The names are exactly the same.

Of course, the Danzhu that Hua Yi knew was not a member of the Chiming clan, nor did he have red palms like the girl in front of him.

"Bai Lu needs friends who can take care of her and get along with her sincerely. Ideally, they should be from the Chiming Clan. They should not be concerned about whether the reincarnation of Yin Yuejun will compete for power with the current Dragon Lord, nor should they be coerced by the Dragon Masters of Lin Yuan Realm. They should have the determination to face powerful forces."

The topic of "friends" was only touched upon briefly; Hua Yi then spoke of his expectations.

During the chaos of Luofu, some Dragon Masters colluded with Bu Liren and the Medicine King's secret teachings, intending to overthrow the Immortal Ship. They have been imprisoned by the Ten Kings Division until the end of this life, when they will shed their scales and be reborn.

It's like a life sentence, so that the remaining dragon masters won't have to carry out the scale-shedding punishment. Someone might show mercy to their own kind.

“The current Dragon Masters of Wisdom are no longer in power. A group of them have been arrested and another group has been disciplined, and the internal strength of the Dragon Masters of Wisdom has been greatly damaged. As a citizen of the Immortal Ship, Jing Yuan should not interfere too much in the affairs of the Dragon Masters of Wisdom. I think Miss Ling Sha is the most suitable person.”

Jingyuan.

Upon hearing the name Hua Yi mentioned, Ling Sha's expression changed several times.

"...Mr. Hua Yi, please forgive my impertinence, but to whom did you recommend me to return to Luofu and be promoted to the position of Si Ding?"

"Jingyuan, Huaiyan, Feixiao..."

When Hua Yi uttered the names of the three Imperial Bow Generals, Ling Sha frowned in thought, and Hua Yi knew what she was thinking.

"The former Director of the Pill Refining Division was personally exiled by Jing Yuan. You followed her to the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship, turning from a disciple of the Director of the Pill Refining Division into a disciple of a sinner. You must have suffered a lot, right?"

“My master is not a sinner. She discovered that the Pill Cauldron Division was hiding the secret teachings of the Medicine King and the Dragon Master’s power, so she was determined to eliminate the filth!”

Ling Sha stood up.
