Chapter 281: Traveling to Central Plains

Observing Xiao Ming's persistence, the store clerk eventually relented with a helpless nod. After all, there was no harm in taking a look, especially with the presence of numerous guards from the Luo family, some of whom were even powerful Dou King experts. Even if he couldn't sell it, there was no loss.

But if he managed to sell it, he could make a big profit.

In fact, the store clerk was not weak himself and had the cultivation level of a Dou Spirit.

With these thoughts in mind, the store clerk signaled to a maid standing nearby with a subtle glance, and she disappeared into the back of the shop.

The store clerk then led Xiao Ming and his companions to a nearby table to wait, while the maid returned after a while carrying a wooden small boat on a tray.

Taking the small boat from the maid, the store clerk smiled and said, "There is an energy input point at the bow of this space boat. As long as you infuse some Dou Qi here, the space boat can fly in the space passage. Space boats have different levels, with level nine being the highest and level one being the lowest. The highest-level space boats we have here is level five, which is this one."

"The price is 5.5 million gold coins!"

Xiao Yi Xian at Xiao Ming's side was surprised to hear this. "Wow, that's expensive!" she exclaimed.

Five and a half million gold coins were worth more than some High Xuan Qi Methods. Even she didn't have that much cash on her. Most people really couldn't afford it, so it was no wonder this sales clerk had to remind them.

"If you think it's too expensive, we have other levels of space boats to choose from. The level one space boat is only one million one hundred thousand gold coins. Although its speed will be much slower, it's also an economical choice."

The sales clerk smiled and was about to signal the maid to take out a space boat from the counter.

Obviously, the lowest level space boat was displayed there.

"No need, we'll buy this one." Xiao Ming interrupted.

The higher the level of the space boat, the faster its speed. It wasn't a disposable item, and they would need it often once they reached Central Plains. There was no need to save money.

Thankfully, it had only happened once in the simulation, or else he would not dare to travel through a wormhole.

Without much hesitation, Xiao Ming gestured to Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin, motioning for them to follow him. The four of them stopped at the entrance of the spatial wormhole and stepped through it simultaneously.

As they crossed the threshold, their forms disappeared in an instant, and a shimmering silver glow spread outward before fading into the blackness of space. The group experienced a brief sensation of weightlessness before their vision was engulfed by a strange spatial channel.

The channel seemed to stretch on indefinitely, with faint silver barriers lining its sides. Within these barriers was a passage about nine meters wide, leading to an abyssal darkness at its end. The space above and below the channel were equally foreboding, exuding a thick aura of spatial distortion that permeated the entire passage. It was eerily silent, without even the slightest sound to break the oppressive stillness.

With a flick of his hand, Xiao Ming's newly purchased space boat appeared in his hand. As soon as the small object appeared, it swelled up like a fish entering the water, transforming into a boat several meters long in just a few blinks of an eye. On the surface of the boat, faint silver space energy wandered back and forth, looking extremely mystical.

"This thing is actually so extraordinary... no wonder it's so expensive." Xiao Yi Xian's eyes showed a hint of interest.

"Get on the boat, it's time to move forward." Xiao Ming jumped onto the space boat first, and the curious Zi Yan and the others quickly followed.

The next moment, the entire space boat trembled slightly, and finally, a thrust erupted from the rear of the boat. With a whoosh, the space boat turned into a silver light and shot through space, rushing towards the void of darkness.

Within the space channel, the speed of the space boat was extremely terrifying, almost beyond description. Xiao Ming and his companions could only see the silver space barriers on both sides rapidly retreating, the speed of which was so fast that it was dizzying.

Although the speed within the space channel was much faster than that outside, the boredom was even more intense. The monotonous deep darkness could make one's mind feel restless after staring at it for a long time. In this kind of boredom, time quietly passed by...

Half a month later, they finally arrived in Central Plains.

It was a vast and lush plain, and in the middle of the plain, there was a square paved with gravel. The ground at the center of the square was covered with many mysterious runes, all emitting a faint silver light, revealing a hint of spatial fluctuations.

The square was quite silent, but suddenly a gust of wind rose out of nowhere. Then, a silver halo appeared in the center of the square, and a boat-shaped shadow flashed out, quickly shrinking and finally dropping four figures.

As the four people landed, the silver halo slowly dissipated.

"We have finally arrived in Central Plains..."
