That idiot from the Sword Sect turned out to be a lucky charm.

Chapter 133 Returning to the Sword Sect

"As for the price," Fang Yuan stroked his chin and clicked his tongue in disapproval, "I'm afraid it can't be cheap."

Lin Zhifeng thought to himself: I knew it.

In Lin Zhifeng's original world, airships were priced at tens of millions.

Private airships are high-end transportation that only the wealthy can afford. Public airships, which are affordable for ordinary people, also have hefty ticket prices.

It seems that the same applies to this world; the expenses are simply not something that ordinary cultivators can afford.

Fang Yuan laughed and said, "Although I've never bought one before, this flying device is a high-grade magic artifact. Not only is the manufacturing process complex, but it also costs a lot of money. I imagine it would cost at least ten million high-grade spirit stones to purchase!"

Lin Zhifeng now has nearly 20 million high-grade spirit stones, but he plans to spend them mainly on purchasing materials for the Refining Void Pill.

If you spend that money on buying a flying machine, it will almost empty your wallet in no time, which is a bit unnecessary.

This aircraft is not a necessity of life, but merely a luxury item to improve the quality of life.

In keeping with the Sword Sect's frugal and thrifty tradition, Lin Zhifeng regretfully removed it from his shopping list.

Seeing his silence, Fang Yuan knew he must be short of money, so he advised, "You don't need to rush to buy a flying vehicle. We've been together for the past few years anyway, and you can ride in your brother's car whenever you want. You don't need to spend spirit stones on fuel yet. Use the money you save to gather the materials for the Void Refining Pill. The important thing is to find a good alchemist and refine the Void Refining Pill."

Lin Zhifeng thought to himself: I am a good alchemist, why do I need to go out and look for one?

However, he is not yet that familiar with Fang Yuan, so he cannot reveal the matter of refining the Void Refining Pill to him.

Anyway, the main ingredients for the Refining Void Pill are very rare, and it's not easy to gather them all in a short time. We can leave this matter for later.

There's still a long time to get to know each other. If we find that Fang Yuan is also a good person, then for the sake of my uncle, I'll refine one of the Void Refining Pills for him even if I don't have time to refine it.

Lin Zhifeng made up his mind and bowed to Fang Yuan to express his gratitude: "Then I will have to trouble you, Brother Fang. However, I will cover the cost of the spirit stones needed for the flight. I can't let Brother Fang spend too much."

Fang Yuanman said nonchalantly, "No need, no need, it won't cost much. You can keep it. I know your Sword Sect is having difficulties."

Lin Zhifeng said, "It is difficult, but we can't just take advantage of Brother Fang for nothing! Besides, there are many of us on this trip, and we'll probably all need to borrow Brother Fang's flying vehicle. That would be too unfair to Brother Fang. What would people think of our Sword Sect if word got out? I appreciate Brother Fang's kindness, but please let me pay for the spirit stones. Otherwise, I'd rather go out and starve than ride it."

What else can Fangyuan do?

They had no choice but to agree.

Although he was generous enough to invite Lin Zhifeng and the others to ride in his aircraft, Fang Yuan was also pleased that Lin Zhifeng offered to pay for the fuel.

A child who knows when to give and take, and who doesn't treat others like suckers, is someone worth befriending.

The flying vehicle carried the two of them at breakneck speed towards the Sword Sect, more than twice as fast as flying on a sword. Not to mention, sitting inside the flying vehicle meant they were protected from the wind and sun.

Lin Zhifeng and Fang Yuan chatted along the way and arrived at the Sword Sect in just over half a day.

The two stepped off the aircraft, and Fang Yuan performed another operation, folding the aircraft back into the size of a capsule, which he then put into his pocket.

Lin Zhifeng said, "It's getting late today, so we probably won't be able to set off until tomorrow. My companions also need to be packed and arranged in advance. Brother Fang, would you like to stay at an inn at the foot of the mountain tonight, or would you like to come with me to the Sword Sect for the night?"

Fang Yuan said, "I've never been to your Sword Sect before, so I'll take this opportunity to go and have a look. Please, little brother, take me in for the night!"

Lin Zhifeng said, "In that case, Brother Fang, please wait a moment in front of the sect. I need to inform the elders and get their approval before I can invite you in."

Fang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here. I promise I won't wander off or cause any trouble."

Lin Zhifeng couldn't help but smile, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Fang, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

After saying this, he went to the council hall to report to the elder on duty.

The Seventh Elder is on duty today.

The Seventh Elder's affection for Lin Zhifeng has reached unprecedented heights—he had originally thought his foolish son would drift through life aimlessly, perhaps not even breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage before dying. Who could have imagined that he was now a master of the Divine Transformation Realm?

The Seventh Elder was absolutely right to say that his son was a master.

After all, looking at the entire cultivation continent, how many people can break through to the Nascent Soul Realm within a hundred years?

Even in the Sword Sect, where geniuses abound, although they can't compare to Ding Mo and the others who were already elite disciples, they are still quite remarkable, aren't they?

The Seventh Elder was in a good mood, and he attributed the reason why his son had turned over a new leaf to his good friend Lin Zhifeng.

Therefore, how could he not like Lin Zhifeng?

So the Seventh Elder acted unusually kind and approachable.

He looked at Lin Zhifeng with a smile, his gaze so gentle it seemed to caress Lin Zhifeng from head to toe. Under that gaze, he said softly, "Little Lin, what brings you here?"

Lin Zhifeng felt goosebumps all over from the Seventh Elder's kind gaze. Controlling his trembling body, he respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Seventh Elder, Lin Jun and I will soon be setting off for Muyun City and other places to seek opportunities and inquire about my father. I previously went to my uncle at the Heavenly Sword Sect to inform him of this and bid him farewell. My uncle sent a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from their Heavenly Sword Sect, Senior Brother Fang Yuan, to accompany us. Senior Brother Fang is currently waiting at the sect gate. Seventh Elder, could you please grant him permission to enter the sect and stay for the night? We will depart tomorrow."

The Seventh Elder smiled broadly and said, "Alright. I've met this child named Fang Yuan before. He's not only clever, but his cultivation is also quite good. With him traveling with you, your safety will be better guaranteed. Just remember to get along well with others and don't ruin the harmony."

After speaking, the Seventh Elder took out a wooden plaque, which was the temporary identity plaque given by the Sword Sect to visiting guests.

With it, the Sword Sect's gate barrier is open to visitors, and outsiders can freely enter and exit most areas of the Sword Sect.

Lin Zhifeng accepted the wooden plaque with both hands, bowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you very much, Seventh Elder. I won't disturb you any longer. I'm afraid Brother Fang must be getting impatient."

The Seventh Elder said, "Child, why are you being so polite? Where do you plan to arrange for him to stay?"

Lin Zhifeng said, "Only Qingfeng and I live in my courtyard. There are plenty of empty rooms. Brother Fang can just stay at my place for one night. There's no need to trouble the elders and senior brothers in the logistics department to prepare rooms."

The Seventh Elder said, "That's fine then. You may go now! Come visit sometime!"
