Translator: 549690339

In the evening, a hall spanning thousands of square meters looked much like a school cafeteria.

Xu Fan was watching as Ye Xiaoyao had already served four rounds of spiritual food to the table. Xu Fan contemplated whether he should leave immediately or stay, as things could go wrong at any moment when he was on the same ship as Zhu Jiao.

At this moment, Ye Xiaoyao came over, holding two more plates of spiritual food.

“Junior Brother Xu, the spiritual food on this Floating Skyship is one of

Heavenly Gate’s specialties, even our Sect Leader has highly praised it.”

There were already seven dishes on the table: three were cold, three were hot, and one was soup.

“Brother Xu, take a look, all the appetisers on this table are made from hundreds of years old Spiritual Medicine. These meats are all from Golden Core Stage Demonic Beasts, and they are all made from the most premium cuts,” Ye Xiaoyao enthusiastically introduced Xu Fan, while deep within him, a voice echoed.

“Kid, find a way to pledge brotherhood with him, you won’t lose.” “Trust this Immortal Emperor’s judgment, it’s correct.”

The initially friendly Ye Xiaoyao seemed even more enthused.

Looking at Ye Xiaoyao’s passionate expression, Xu Fan didn’t want to give a cold response, so he smiled and said, “Brother Ye must have spent a considerable amount on all this spiritual food on the table.”

Ye Xiaoyao laughed and said, “Haha, no spirit stones were spent, the food is one of the benefits of being on the Floating Skyship.”

Upon hearing that the food was free, Xu Fan’s interest perked up—was it finally time for him to use his Satiety Skill?

Ye Xiaoyao then took out a bottle of wine, whispering to Xu Fan, “This is Spirit

Wine, brewed by our patrol team using ten thousand years Ginseng.”

Seeing the sumptuous spread of food and wine, Xu Fan put down his prejudice against Zhu Jiao, and began to drink with Ye Xiaoyao.

As the two consumed half a bottle of wine, Xu Fan became more talkative.

“Senior Brother Ye, when did your strange illness get cured?” Xu Fan asked, observing the ring on Ye Xiaoyao’s hand.

“Haha, thanks to my luck, my symptoms were all gone once I returned from the Secret Realm, ” Ye Xiaoyao replied, slightly tipsy.

“Junior Brother Xu, did you know, after coming out from the Secret Realm, I immediately advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.”

“After advancing to Foundation Establishment stage, the first thing I did was to go to the family who terminated the engagement with me, and I thoroughly humiliated all the young disciples there.”

Having said that, Ye Xiaoyao raised his wine glass to cheers with Xu Fan, and quickly downed his cup.

Staring at the slightly tipsy Ye Xiaoyao, Xu Fan was shocked— a dumped protagonist!

His respect for Ye Xiaoyao went up a notch.

He originally assumed that following this would be a series of show-off and face-saving scenes, but Ye Xiaoyao unexpectedly changed his tone, saying with a bitter expression, “Initially, I thought I could redress the shame of being dumped, but I never expected…”

“The girl who dumped me has been taken in as a disciple by a reclusive Esteemed One. She too, is at Foundation Establishment stage, but she easily beat me down with one hand.”

Hearing this, Xu Fan rolled his eyes. Even Xiao Dou Emperor knew to wait to show off to his Grandpa after three years. It was not surprising that you were beaten up after showing off as soon as you got a bit of strength.

“However, this only ignites me more, so what if she has a master at the Mahayana stage? As long as I have three years, I will repay the humiliation I’ve received twice over,” Ye Xiaoyao said firmly.

Xu Fan raised his cup.

“I wish you success in achieving your dreams, Senior Brother Ye.”

“Thank you, Junior Brother Xu. From now on you can just call me Brother Ye —’Senior Brother Ye’ feels too distant,” Ye Xiaoyao waved dismissively.

“Brother Ye.”

“Good, let me offer you another toast, brother.”

And just like that, Xu Fan had a new, “discount” big brother.

When Ye Xiaoyao brought out another jar of Spirit Wine after the first one was finished, Xu Fan realized he could forget about using his Satiety Skill today. The two drank till late into the night. Only after Xu Fan blacked out, did Ye Xiaoyao carry him back to his room.

When Xu Fan opened his eyes again, the Floating Skyship was already high above the ground.

“Damn, drinking messed me up.” Xu Fan said, rubbing his throbbing head. When Xu Fan stepped onto the deck, he was stunned by the sight before his eyes.

A giant snake, several times larger than the Floating Skyship, was slithering around the ship, occasionally rubbing its huge body against the ship.

Just then, Ye Xiaoyao, wearing standard patrol armor, walked over.

“Little Fan, you’re awake. How do you feel?” Ye Xiaoyao asked kindly. He had only regretted it a bit the morning after the drinking: the Spirit Wine they had drunk was too much for a regular cultivator at the Qi Cultivation stage. Any carelessness could cause their spiritual power to explode. He just hadn’t thought about it at the time.

“I’m okay, just a bit foggy in the head.” As Xu Fan was saying this, he checked his body condition internally, and was suddenly shocked.

I’ve actually been promoted to the 12th Level of Qi Cultivation.

“That’s good, here, take this.” Ye Xiaoyao handed over a vial of Spiritual Pills to the still somewhat confused Xu Fan.

“Seeing that you’ve been promoted to the 12th Level of Qi Cultivation, I happened to have some Foundation Establishment Pills that I don’t need, so I’m giving them to you.” Ye Xiaoyao grinned. He had obtained these by sheer luck, and giving them away did not distress him.

When Xu Fan opened the vial, he saw four middle-grade Foundation

Establishment Pills inside, each worth 20,000 Spirit Stones on the market.

Xu Fan immediately handed the Foundation Establishment Pills back to Ye Xiaoyao. What a joke, giving a Foundation Establishment Pill to a master alchemist – whose face was he trying to slap?

“I appreciate Brother Ye’s kindness, but I’m capable of making Foundation Establishment Pills myself, there’s no need to trouble Brother Xu,” Xu Fan immediately replied.

“Haha, I didn’t expect Brother Xu to be a master alchemist, such a surprise.” Ye Xiaoyao laughingly put the Foundation Establishment Pills into his storage ring. Giving a pill to an alchemist was similar to slapping them in the face.

“Little Fan, I am your official guide on the Floating Skyship. If you need anything while on the ship, just let me know.”

“We’ll reach the Endless Sea in three days, after which the entire Floating Skyship will be placed on a war footing.”

“So, if you want to observe any part of the Floating Skyship, you’d better hurry.”

“You’re free to visit anywhere on the ship, except the Captain’s Room, the Core Power Room, and the Private Rooms.”

“If you’re free, you can also take up some tasks at the Alchemy Department on the ship. The rewards are bountiful.”

Seeing the detailed instructions from Zhu Jiao, Xu Fan thought to himself that

it wasn’t too bad being friends with Zhu Jiao, apart from the higher risk factor.

Just then, Ye Xiaoyao patted Xu Fan on the shoulder and said, “I’ve said what needed to be said. I still have patrol duties, so I won’t accompany you on your tour.”

Xu Fan was just about to ask about the giant snake at the side of the Floating

Skyship, but Ye Xiaoyao preempted him, “That Cloud-Swallowing Snake is the

Artifact Spirit of the Floating Skyship.”

After saying this, Ye Xiaoyao walked off into the distance.

After Ye Xiaoyao had gone, Xu Fan put on a pair of glasses-like artifact and began closely observing the construction of runes on the outermost area of the Floating Skyship.

According to its grade, the Floating Skyship was considered a middle-grade Dao Tool. The entire body of the ship was covered in Rune Arrays. For now, Xu Fan was only observing the simplest Rune Arrays.

“Amazing. When I was repairing the runes before, I didn’t look closely. The key to the outer body of the ship lies in the runes on the inner wall,” Xu Fan admired, as if looking at the most intricate instrument that he had made in his previous life.

“It’s surprising that a little Qi Cultivation stage guy like you has such an eye for detail. So, are you interested in becoming my disciple?” A pair of sturdy, dark hands clapped onto Xu Fan’s shoulder..
