After deciding on the mode of travel, Yue Jinghua began preparing for her return to Wohua Imperial City. The preparations took half a month to complete. Aside from the reason for remodeling the Sky Sun Shuttle, another reason was due to the severe injuries sustained by many Imperial Soldiers during the attack on Dragon Bone Great Wall, necessitating basic treatment and recovery. This also provided Yue Jinghua with ample time to arrange the affairs of the Mercenary Squad and the domain. In the July Mercenary Team, Feng Buhui decided to stay behind temporarily to recruit Reserve Team Members. Once Qin Dongting and Luo returned to Five Saints Town, they would then head to the Imperial City to meet up with the others. The Elixir Pills fleet based in Five Saints Town was ready and would temporarily be managed by Feng Chuo. Hongling, Hong Yao, Shalman, Qian Luo, and Chi Xi would accompany Yue Jinghua to Wohua Imperial City. During these days, Yue Jinghua also received the latest two Xuan Crystal Cannons sent by Helian Sheng. After some consideration, she had the Xuan Crystal Cannons moved onto the Sky Sun Shuttle. When Yue Jinghua earlier mentioned traveling to the Imperial City by Skyship, the accompanying individuals were rather puzzled. There were no commercial Skyships available in Five Saints Town for travel, and the Cloud Sailing vessels from the Imperial side had a limited passenger capacity, only allowing a few people to board. During the last attack on Dragon Bone Great Wall, the Imperial Army had over a hundred soldiers with serious injuries. Even though Yue Jinghua had already provided them with some Elixir Pills, the medical means in Fengdan County were limited, so many injured needed to return to the Imperial City for treatment via Sky Sail. Who would have thought Yue Jinghua would silently secure a Skyship and had it modified by Qian Luo? Out of curiosity, everyone took a closer look. Upon boarding the Skyship with Yue Jinghua, the first thing that struck everyone was the bizarre appearance of the Sky Sun Shuttle, leaving them utterly amazed. The Skyship that Yue Jinghua mistook for an extraterrestrial UFO was flat-shaped, with its exterior about the size of two bungalows. The exterior seemed to be custom-made with templates. At first glance, compared to the all-metal encasing of the Imperial Military’s Cloud Sailing vessels, it indeed looked rather shabby. It even caused one to wonder if it might fall apart mid-flight when reaching thousands of meters in the air. In addition, unlike the standard semi-open ship design, with decks and sails, the Sky Sun Shuttle had no windows, only a narrow hatch for entry. From afar, it looked like a tightly strapped rubber wine barrel, or rather akin to a submarine used for modern deep-sea exploration. This is why Yue Jinghua called it a shuttle, rather than a sailboat. "Hehe, don’t be fooled by its slummy exterior. Inside, it’s definitely five-star luxury. Just the remodeling of this Skyship alone cost me a third of my fortune," encouraged Yue Jinghua, who, still surprised, was carrying the Xuan Crystal Cannon towards the Sky Sun Shuttle. Hearing that Yue Jinghua had spent such an astonishing amount on remodeling such a "shabby" Skyship, Hongling and Hong Yao both wore bitter expressions. Others may not know, but they were in charge of managing Yue Jinghua’s finances and the Dan Xuan Card. Yue Jinghua’s current fortune, not counting the annual income from Fengdan County, amounted to several tens of millions of Fifth-Order Xuan Pills. Although most of her wealth was unexpected gains, at such a rate of spending, and with the imminent return to the traditionally extravagant Wohua Imperial City, both of them couldn’t help but lament continuously. Once inside the Sky Sun Shuttle, Shalman and the others felt an immediate sense of enlightenment. The first thing that struck them was the sense of space, different from the compact appearance outside; the Sky Sun Shuttle was clearly expanded using Spatial Array magic. Qian Luo, standing at the entrance to welcome everyone, also wore a satisfied smile on his face: "This Skyship is the most ingeniously designed aerial vessel I have seen so far. It hardly needed any special modifications, I just fortified several Defensive Dark Arrays and added an Acceleration Array on top of the original design." While speaking, Qian Luo led everyone to tour the various compartments of the Sky Sun Shuttle. The Sky Sun Shuttle was deceptively spacious, several dozen times larger on the inside than it appeared on the outside. It seemed it could only hold about a dozen people, but with the work of the Space Xuan Array, it could at least accommodate a few hundred. The entrance led directly to the central area of the Sky Sun Shuttle, which was a communal activity zone. It was initially thought that the lack of windows and doors would be a major issue for lighting, but it turned out that at the very top of the skyship was a large Lighting Array that Qian Luo called "Moonrise." The soft light, akin to sunlight, poured out from the Dark Array, illuminating the entire area. Not just in this section, but throughout the entire skyship, in cabins large and small, similar Lighting Arrays were installed. "This kind of Dark Array is derived from the Liu Xing Xuan Fire Array in the Sky Dragon Palace, and is also a type of Heaven and Earth Array," Qian Luo briefly explained the complicated method of constructing such an array. According to Yue Jinghua’s understanding, it was somewhat similar to solar energy in the modern sense. As the skyship traveled through the air, "Moonrise" would capture sunlight and moonlight around the clock, transforming it into lighting inside the ship. Yue Jinghua was quite satisfied with this modification, as despite the use of a large amount of precious Beast Blood Vermilion and specially made Array Pens during the construction of this Dark Array, from a long-term perspective, the array could save a considerable amount of Dark Pills, making it cost-effective. "Moonrise" was also one of the more expensive parts of the entire skyship. Furthermore, Qian Luo had created a unique Acceleration Array. "This Dark Array is named ’Wind Shadow.’ It was inspired by the master," there is a cockpit at both the front and rear of the skyship, which is actually where the Acceleration Arrays are located. There is a set of gear-like Dark Arrays at both ends, in descending sizes from large to small. One day, when Qian Luo was drawing the Acceleration Array, Yue Jinghua happened to be present and casually remarked, "I really miss the thrill of racing cars back in the day." When Qian Luo inquired what racing cars were, Yue Jinghua simply described it as a recreational activity. Qian Luo, not being familiar with the customs and traditions of the Eastern Continent, did not inquire further. However, Yue Jinghua followed up with a question, asking whether it would be possible to design the Acceleration Array in multiple sets, such as using a normal speed array during the daytime to guard against possible aerial Dark Beasts, maintaining normal speed, which would be the 1x speed array. At night, when there were no Sky Birds around, they could use another array to double the speed, which would be the 2x speed array. In special combat situations, they could use the highest-speed escape array, which would be the 3x speed array, roughly equivalent to the speed of a flying dragon in the air. These were the ideas Yue Jinghua had when she witnessed the Dragon Riding Sail chasing the "Sky Dragon Palace." After considering it, Qian Luo came up with this set of special Acceleration Arrays. "In a true emergency, the three Dark Arrays can also be used at the same time, which could produce an effect similar to instantaneous aerial movement, but the number of Dark Pills consumed would be astonishing, so unless it is really necessary, it’s better not to use them," Qian Luo explained in detail. Hongling and the others were completely stunned as they listened. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵 This was not just a skyship, but a veritable escape artifact. Through Qian Luo’s explanation, everyone understood that the money spent by Yue Jinghua was not in vain at all, and could even be considered a bargain.
