Chapter 723: Time to Go Back 2

Even his wrinkled old face revealed a somewhat sleazy smile.
While rubbing his hands together, he asked with a sleazy grin, “Luo Brother, that Sky-float Boat you mentioned before… when can it be completed?”
Luo Changfeng glanced at Fu Qiu beside him with slight irritation.
How impatient could this old man be?
Or was it that his credibility was not trustworthy enough for others?
He had said he would make it, so it would certainly be made.
“At the shortest, seven days, at the longest, a half-month.”
Luo Changfeng spoke with a cold voice.
Fu Qiu thought for a moment, as if he wanted to ask something else.
However, when he saw Luo Brother’s expression growing increasingly cold,
he knew it was time to stop there.
Otherwise, if he carelessly angered Luo Brother,
wouldn’t the matter of the Sky-float Boat be spoiled?
“Alright, alright.”
“I’ll leave now, leaving right away…”
With an awkward smile, Fu Qiu quickly vanished from Luo Changfeng’s sight.
And with the departure of Fu Qiu,
only Luo Changfeng remained once again beneath the Stone Pavilion in the small courtyard.
In fact, if he really wanted to complete the Sky-float Boat, he could have done so several days earlier.
But the problem is, what use is a rough and slipshod Sky-float Boat?
It has no defenses, no means of attack.
Its travel speed through the void is also terribly slow.
Of course, “terribly slow” here
is in comparison with the speed of other Sky-float Boats.
If one were to compare the Sky-float Boat crafted by Luo Changfeng with cultivators…
The speed of the Sky-float Boat is quite impressive.
…
As time passed,
approximately seven more days went by.
During these seven days, Luo Changfeng stayed within the secluded courtyard of the sub-sect,
continuously studying the more profound craft of the Sky-float Boat.
However, regrettably,
he had not managed to upgrade his 0.5 version of the Sky-float Boat to a 1.0 version in this time.
After all, Sky-float Boats are considered jewels of the artifact refining world for a reason.
If it were so simple that Luo Changfeng could make a breakthrough in the manufacturing skills of the Sky-float Boat…
Then he wouldn’t have struggled so long just to barely fashion the 0.5 version.
The entire Xuanyuan Continent would likely be saturated with countless Sky-float Boats.
Of course, this scenario presumes there is an ample supply of materials.
Otherwise, no matter how skilled you are,
without a sufficient supply of materials, you still cannot build a complete Sky-float Boat.
…
In the Da Feng Dynasty, Luo Mountain Prefecture.
Deep within the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect’s territory, in a courtyard that looked ordinary yet bore some extraordinary.
At this moment, Luo Changfeng, the Ancestor of the Luo Family of Qingshi City and the current Sect Master of the sub-sect,
was sitting quietly under a pavilion made of stone.
He sipped his tea while silently fidgeting with a palm-sized Sky-float Boat in his hands.
“So, Luo Brother, is this the Sky-float Boat you have crafted during this period?”
Standing next to Luo Changfeng,
was Fu Qiu, the old man who was the current Deputy Sect Master of the sub-sect.
At this moment, he was gaping in excitement at the object that seemed to be the most beautiful thing in the world.
Of course, it wasn’t just Fu Qiu who felt this way.
Zong Yu, Fu Qiu’s personal disciple, was not faring any better.
Though he hadn’t said anything, the faint blush in his eyes
betrayed the thoughts within Zong Yu’s mind.
“Yes, this is the Sky-float Boat I’ve crafted these days.”
“However, unlike some ordinary Sky-float Boats…”
“This one has some flaws in its abilities.”
“It lacks both defensive and attack capabilities.”
“The speed of the ship isn’t particularly fast,”
“This Sky-float Boat, aside from its most basic function of travel and the ability to breach the void, other features…”
As he spoke, Luo Changfeng shook his head.
Such a grade of Sky-float Boat was the best he could manage to acquire with all his efforts.
Anything better would indeed be beyond his capabilities.
However, although this Sky-float Boat only had those most basic functions,
to Fu Qiu, the current Deputy Sect Master of the Sub-sect, and to Zong Yu, this Sky-float Boat was still an exceedingly precious item.
After all, with such a vessel,
the Sub-sect Power he belonged to would be qualified to travel to more distant regions,
and then, to trade the Elixirs produced by their sect.
Or to sell items like Talismans.
There must be sales for there to be development.
“Alright, moving on…”
After playing with it for a while, Luo Changfeng tossed the Sky-float Boat he was holding into the hands of that old fellow, Fu Qiu.
Then, he silently finished his cup of hot tea,
stood up, twisted his neck slightly, and stretched his body.
After that, he spoke softly to Fu Qiu, who was carefully holding the Sky-float Boat beside him, “Since there’s nothing else to do in the Sub-sect, I should probably head back…”
Having said that, Luo Changfeng slowly walked out of the courtyard.
Within just a few steps, he had disappeared from that old fellow Fu Qiu’s line of sight.
“Master, the Sect Master has left…”
In the small courtyard, Zong Yu reminded Fu Qiu.
But at this moment, Fu Qiu,
his entire attention was clearly fixated on the Sky-float Boat.
“Master, Master?”
After several more shouts and no response from Fu Qiu,
Zong Yu could only helplessly shake his head.
Afterward, he too turned his entire focus onto the Sky-float Boat.
It must be said, the Sky-float Boat is indeed perfect.
Even though the one they had was only a semi-finished product.
Aside from the ability to navigate and breach the void,
it lacked any other capabilities.
But even so, the value of this Sky-float Boat was still tremendously terrifying.
If it were to be sold, it could fetch at least the value of twenty or thirty batches of raw materials for a Sky-float Boat.
However, quite obviously…
Under normal circumstances, there wouldn’t be any Power willing to sell a Sky-float Boat they possessed.
A Sky-float Boat is a strategic resource.
Even if it were to collect dust, they would definitely not sell it off easily.
…
In the blink of an eye, another day had passed.
At dawn, when the sky was not yet fully bright,
at this time, Luo Changfeng, the Ancestor of the Luo Family in Qingshi City,
had already returned to his family’s clan lands.
Back to his own small courtyard.
Sitting quietly under the Stone Pavilion, sipping tea while silently enjoying the tranquility of the moment.
It has to be said, nothing compares to the comfort and peace of one’s own home.
The Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect is good,
but no matter what, it still doesn’t match the comfort of one’s own family lands.
“Elder Changfeng…”
A familiar voice rang in Luo Changfeng’s ears.
He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice.
At this moment, Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family in Qingshi City,
was standing in front of him with his head bowed.
His face carried a deep expression of respect, and even a hint of fear and unease.
Others aside,
but this kid Luo Ping was always like this.
In his presence, he always maintained a high degree of reverence,
even more so than that kid Luo Yao.
“During the days of my absence, has anything happened at home?”
Luo Changfeng silently observed Luo Ping in front of him.
After a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice.
Luo Ping silently shook his head and replied softly, “Nothing significant has occurred at home during the time Elder Changfeng was away.”
