334: Chapter 152: Gao Jianli_5 334: Chapter 152: Gao Jianli_5 The flying boat, no matter how fast it flew, couldn’t outpace the pursuit of a master from the Earth Immortal Realm.
Therefore, it was best for the flying boat to be equipped with invisibility features, which of course required much more money.
Plus, what if the white-haired witch had sothing on her that could be tracked?
The flying boat he’d refine himself would also need anti-tracking features.
All these additions ant the cost of the flying boat was truly terrifying.
After buying all the materials needed to refine the flying boat, Cao Zhen didn’t go to the Immortal Reception House; instead, he returned to the seven-story tower to see Fang Tuojie once again.
“Brother Fang, can you help out?
I need to refine a flying boat, but my mana isn’t sufficient.
With your help, I could refine the flying boat faster, and the result would be much stronger,” he said.
He had thought about how to address the other party; calling him the guardian sounded too distant, so he simply went with Brother Fang.
“Alright, I will help,” Fang Tuojie agreed without hesitation.
This ti they needed Cao Zhen to bring the white-haired witch to the Capital City, and he realized that the journey was fraught with danger.
If Cao Zhen had a flying boat, the chances of delivering the white-haired witch to the Imperial City safely would be greater.
Once Fang Tuojie agreed to help, Cao Zhen imdiately began setting up the formation for refining the flying boat.
The process of refinent certainly required a formation, which was instruntal in the speed of the refining process.
Actually, flying boats were quite a special case.
If it was an offensive or defensive type of flying boat, or one with special effects designed for combat, those fell into the category of artifact refining.
However, flying boats that were designed for actual flight fell under the category of chanical techniques.
Luckily, he had experience in refining chanical constructs, or else, even with Fang Tuojie’s help, he’d have no idea when the flying boat would be finished.
Three days.
Fang Tuojie truly was formidable.
With his assistance, it only took three days for Cao Zhen to finish refining the flying boat.
Otherwise, Cao Zhen felt that even a week might not be enough ti for him to complete the flying boat.
Looking at the refined flying boat, Fang Tuojie regarded Cao Zhen with full surprise and finally asked the question that had been on his mind.
“Are you really the Peak Master of the Hundred Peaks Sect’s Hundredth Peak, Four Treasures Peak, and not a disciple from another peak?”
Cao Zhen replied puzzledly, “Why would I lie to you about that?
What purpose would it serve to deceive you with that?
Moreover, we are an envoy delegation.
Our identities are all verifiable and cannot be hidden from you.”
Fang Tuojie explained, “I’m not saying you’re deceiving .
It’s just that I’m so surprised.
When did the Hundred Peaks Sect beco so strong?
A Peak Master from the Hundred Peaks has so many skills?”
He looked at Cao Zhen admiringly and said, “Aside from my master, you are the strongest person I’ve seen in the fields of the Alchemy Dao, formations, and chanical techniques!”
Cao Zhen looked at Fang Tuojie in astonishnt; although his own alchemy and formation levels hadn’t reached the highest echelons, they were not low.
Moreover, his alchemy techniques and formations were inherited from Zhang Daoling, and his chanical techniques were Mozi’s.
These were indeed profound skills, yet Fang Tuojie said he was not a match for his master!
Just who was this Grand Preceptor, to be not only highly skilled in cultivation but also extrely strong in alchemy, formations, and chanical techniques?
How could he be so powerful?
What was his background?
What kind of fortuitous encounter did he have in the past?
Cao Zhen couldn’t figure it out and decided not to ponder over it anymore.
Soon, the mbers of the Hundred Peaks Sect left Set Soil City, and Cao Zhen released his newly refined flying boat.
The flying boat was more than twenty zhang long and over seven zhang wide, with two levels, enough to accommodate everyone.
As everyone boarded the flying boat, Cao Zhen imdiately propelled the vessel forward, under Lan Pili’s guidance, flying towards their destination.
He didn’t choose the nearest route to the Capital City.
After all, if the Red Refinery Demonic Sect had really sent people, they would surely guess that their destination was the Capital City.
What if they were ambushed en route?
Since they were flying, they could reach the Capital City by any route.
The flying boat sped through the sky, but even though it was powered by Spirit Stones, it still required mana input from people.
The disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect who ca down the mountain this ti were not few, but among them, there wasn’t a single Golden Core, and their collective mana was limited.
During the flight, Cao Zhen finally had ti to check the person he had randomly connected with.
“Let’s see who I’ve connected with.
He doesn’t have to be very powerful, just a Daluo Golden Immortal would do.
Let’s see…
Gao Jianli?”
Cao Zhen was dumbstruck.
“What does connecting with Gao Jianli an?
That’s way too random, isn’t it?
Gao Jianli attempted to assassinate the King of Qin.
Even though he failed, he should at least be an assassin.
How did he end up a re mortal?”
In resignation, Cao Zhen uttered a complaint and continued to read.
Skills: Playing the zhu, musical rhythm, rallying others.
Musical rhythm level: Ninety-nine.
Playing the zhu level: MAX.
Rallying others level: Ninety-nine.
Rallying others?
What was that?
Cao Zhen was sowhat perplexed; was it sothing to enhance buffs?
He rembered from history that before Jing Ke attempted to assassinate the King of Qin, Gao Jianli indeed played the zhu for Jing Ke, leading to the phrase ‘The wind howls and the waters of Yi River grow colder…’
So, was that the rallying he was talking about?
The issue was, even after being rallied, Jing Ke still failed.
