Chapter 1005 - 714: The Sword Cultivator’s Poisonous Wife

Chapter 1005: Chapter 714: The Sword Cultivator’s Poisonous Wife

With the Spirit Wine at hand, Shen Xuan was not stingy, and immediately broke the clay seal on the spot.

The rich aroma of the wine, mixed with pure Spiritual Qi, overflowed everywhere.

Shen Xuan laughed and said, "Drinking alone is dull. How about we all enjoy it together?"

Zhang Bufan was somewhat reserved and polite.

Gu Xiaoyao’s eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily, "Shen Pill Master is generous! Then this old man won’t be shy!"

After speaking, he drew up a line of wine and swallowed it into his throat, savoring its endless aftertaste with his eyes narrowed.

Being able to sell the wine and drink half back, such a delightful affair was simply wonderful for a wine lover like him.

Lady Hu was equally straightforward, lightly guiding a line of crystalline wine liquid like a spiritual snake into her rosy lips.

As the wine entered her belly, two captivating red hues instantly appeared on her white cheeks, and her eyes glistened a bit more, adding a few touches of charm.

Vastly different from her usual gentle demeanor, she appeared quite adorably cute.

On the deck, the fragrance of wine and laughter drifted with the wind, dispelling the solitude of the journey.

Afterward, the four often gathered for small parties, slowly growing closer.

...

A few days later.

The spaceship gradually moved away from Moonrise Immortal City, about to fly out of the Moonrise Sect’s influence range.

Casually chatting, Shen Xuan grew more familiar with the situation on the ship.

The ticket prices for this spaceship could be said to vary greatly.

Like Shen Xuan, the couple Zhang Bufan, and Gu Xiaoyao, the Core Formation cultivators lived in first-class cabins, with private courtyards, weak Spirit Veins, and a serene environment.

Second-class cabins were mostly packed by those "special identity" family heirs.

Most passengers, however, were crammed by four or five into narrow third or even fourth-class cabins, with only a meager space to reside.

Ten thousand Spirit Stones typically meant exhausting a lifetime of savings for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This did not include the social favors and expenses used to acquire the ticket.

Especially for those dragging their families and carrying their offspring, the cost was even more exorbitant.

On the same ship, some people were fleeing, bankrupt.

Others seemed to be vacationing, leisurely and composed.

This was the norm in the Cultivation Realm, a truth that nobody questioned.

Many passengers, having boarded the ship, barely had any Spirit Stones left.

On this day, Shen Xuan was chatting with Gu Xiaoyao and the couple Zhang Bufan on the deck, gazing into the sea of clouds.

"Huh? The spaceship slowed down?"

Shen Xuan was the first to notice something was off, directing his gaze toward the front of the spaceship.

There in the distance, a thirty-foot-long Moonrise Sect warship, leading over ten smaller warboats, spread out in a fan shape, obstructing the spaceship’s scheduled course!

This area was near the border of the Moonrise Sect’s influence.

"Patrolling here? It doesn’t seem like routine business..."

A trace of suspicion rose in Shen Xuan’s heart.

As his thoughts shifted, the Commerce Alliance’s spaceship, following orders, began to lower its altitude, eventually landing on a relatively flat wasteland.

At the same time, the Moonrise Sect warship and the ten-plus warboats swiftly adjusted their formation to encircle the spaceship from all directions.

The warship’s Spiritual Energy Cannon flashed with ominous light, while armored soldiers stood on the warboats, exuding an air of killing intent.

Faced with such a spectacle, the passengers inside the spaceship immediately became restless; everyone showed panic-stricken expressions, quietly discussing, as fear swiftly spread.

"Young Master Zhao, could you kindly step forward to help negotiate?"

The deputy captain Tian Haoran quickly approached a young man in luxurious attire, saluting while requesting.

Clearly, this person held the highest status among the seven Moonrise Sect disciples.

Young Master Zhao’s brows slightly furrowed, seeming somewhat reluctant.

His gaze swept over the warship outside the window, then looked at Tian Haoran, and ultimately nodded.

He turned and spoke to two companions beside him: "Great Success, Flying Dragon, come with me to check it out."

Their faces showed helpless expressions.

The three flew out of the cabin, soaring into the air, heading toward the largest Moonrise Sect warship.

On the deck of the warship, a Golden Core cultivator dressed in armor awaited, his gaze cold.

Young Master Zhao and the two landed on the deck and began conversing with the Golden Core officer.

At a considerable distance, with array spiritual light interference, the people on the spaceship could only see them from afar, sometimes with hand gestures and smiles, other times emotionally arguing, reasoning competitively.

The atmosphere was far from harmonious.

Inside the spaceship, numerous eyes watched that negotiation tension.

"Shen Pill Master."

A Spiritual Communication quietly sounded in Shen Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness.

It was Lady Hu’s voice.

"They are in cahoots! Right now, they’re discussing how to extort us passengers!"

Shen Xuan’s heart chilled slightly.

Even at this distance, even with his Divine Sense far exceeding those of the same stage, sensing with full attention, he could only capture scattered fragments.

This Lady Hu, merely at True Pill Early Stage, could detect the specific conversation contents of the other party?

This woman must have some special means.

"How will they extort?"

Shen Xuan asked in Spiritual Communication, maintaining a calm facade.

Lady Hu’s voice turned slightly cold, "Price increase per person. Ordinary Foundation Establishment passengers, an additional ten thousand Spirit Stones each. Fake Pill cultivators, thirty thousand. As for us Core Formation cultivators, a five thousand increase each!"

"That Young Master Zhao even specifically pointed out, suggesting Shen Pill Master is quite wealthy and could be raised to an additional ten thousand."

Hearing this, Shen Xuan’s eyes flickered with a trace of frost.

What a Moonrise Sect!

What sect disciples!

No skill in fighting demons at the front.

The skill in exploiting loose cultivators and extorting money is indeed grand.

Well-practiced and coordinated seamlessly!

They dared to treat him as a lamb ready for slaughter!

Shen Xuan’s expression remained calm and composed, a hint of coldness flashing in the depths of his eyes.

He was curious to see how this "drama" jointly orchestrated by Young Master Zhao of the Moonrise Sect and the patrol team would play out.

The attitude of the Commerce Alliance would be key.

Before long, Young Master Zhao and the other two, with varied expressions, flew back to the spaceship.

The deputy captain Tian Haoran immediately stepped forward and had a brief whispered conversation with Young Master Zhao.

His brow furrowed tightly, then he hurriedly turned and entered the cockpit, urgently discussing with the captain, Liang Shixing.
