Chapter 247: Conversation with Di Xin
long xuan nodded and said, “then you might have to stay on the ship for a long time.”
“i'll take you to choose a cabin where you can stay. most people haven't picked one yet. those who act slowly will only get to choose the cabins below the deck.”
“the lighting is poor, and the air quality isn't great down there. i doubt many people would enjoy living below.”
di xin smiled and said, “i'll choose a room on the third level. i like living in higher places.”
the two pushed the door open and walked together toward the living quarters on the third level.
the third level didn't have much space, just one corridor with three rooms on each side.
when di xin entered the hallway, she noticed that five of the six rooms on the third level were already taken. only one room toward the back was still available, leaving her with no other choice. she furrowed her brows slightly.
“who lives in the room next to mine?” di xin asked.
“mine!” long xuan responded naturally.
di xin glanced at her male neighbor and asked again, “who lives opposite me?”
“miao peipei, a very cute girl!” long xuan quickly replied.
di xin squinted her eyes slightly, and her gaze toward long xuan began to change.
“and who lives in the other three rooms?” di xin asked sternly.
“leng yan, ye qingluan, and nie qingcheng. they're all beauties!” long xuan replied instinctively.
di xin's expression became strange. she looked at him unnaturally, then teased, “are you abusing your authority to benefit yourself? aren't you embarrassed, a grown man, living in a dormitory full of women?”
her face was full of mockery.
hearing this, long xuan froze, realizing something was wrong. to his left was di xin, to his right was leng yan.
across from him was nie qingcheng, with miao peipei in the top-left corner and ye qingluan in the top-right.
wow, he was surrounded by female neighbors, and with only six rooms on the third level, he was indeed living in the women's dormitory. wouldn't people think he was a pervert?
“hey! you can't accuse me of that! i didn't arrange this. they all chose these rooms themselves!”
“they said the top floor has great views, good lighting, and fresh air, and they insisted on staying on the third floor. what could i do?”
long xuan was getting anxious. if he didn’t explain himself properly, his reputation might be ruined. what would the crew outside think of him?
di xin gave him a cold look, then turned and walked into her room.
“hey! wait a minute, i have something important to discuss with you!” long xuan quickly followed her in, closing the door behind him.
“what? why did you follow me in? are you after my precious herb garden again?” di xin looked at him warily.
long xuan felt awkward and chuckled, “how could i? i just found a treasure in the ancient tomb and wanted to make a deal with you.”
long xuan rummaged through his storage ring and pulled out a pill bottle containing a soul restoration pill.
this little rich girl had everything, and there weren’t many things that could tempt her, so he had to bring out his trump card.
he had already used one of the soul restoration pills and still had two left.
long xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes. what rain-shower thing? that's called a showerhead.
when he was designing the shenlong ship, he had subconsciously used many modern technologies, like the showerhead, toilet, faucet, and solar water heater. every room had these features. he hadn’t expected di xin to figure out that the showerhead was for bathing. she had some good insight.
but what did she mean by giving him the spirit insects in a few months?
if she had them on her, she could give them now. if she didn't have them on her, how would she get them in a few months? could she create them out of thin air?
wait a minute.
long xuan suddenly thought of a possibility.
this area was within the range of the realm pearl's influence, so the sou gu couldn't be used. a few months later, when the shenlong ship sailed out of the realm pearl's influence range, the sou gu would work again.
could she be planning to use the sou gu to teleport somewhere and retrieve the materials for him?
after all, no one would carry a bunch of spirit insects around just to take up space. even if di xin had them, she would definitely have hidden them in her secret insect chamber.
good grief, she probably has a sou gu on her too. he develops a technique, and she finds a way to steal it. how does the long clan keep anything secret? their sacred grounds have turned into a sieve.
so, does this mean that a few months later, she could teleport to her luxurious grand herb garden in an instant? long xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
di xin often raided the treasuries of various clans, and she had even emptied the imperial treasury of the xuanyue empire. who knows how many expensive spiritual herbs she had transplanted into that luxury garden of hers?
if di xin could really teleport back to her grand herb garden, he could extort this rich lady even more.
there might even be many earth-grade and heaven-grade spiritual herbs in her garden.
right now, he was in desperate need of these. this brings up the energy core of the shenlong ship.
his shenlong ship had numerous formations that required an enormous amount of energy to operate.
for daily needs, he used the solar technology he learned from the empress' tomb, using solar energy to maintain the daily operation of the formations. but once the system was overloaded, it would consume backup spirit stones.
however, this energy was still far from sufficient. he needed a powerful formation core to supply high-quality energy. otherwise, the current shenlong ship wouldn't be able to withstand an attack from a gu king.
his initial plan was to place a bunch of divine-level spiritual herbs like the heaven mending tree, world tree, soul nourishing wood, living wood, divine dragon wood, fire dragon fruit tree, and demonic flower at the formation core.
these herbs were either twelve-grade or beyond twelve-grade, with incredibly high energy levels. once gathered together, they could generate immense power. creating a formation capable of defending against a gu king wouldn't be wishful thinking.
so, he now needed a large number of earth-grade and heaven-grade spiritual trees. as for space, there was no need to worry at all.
even if there were more divine trees, he could plant them all inside the world tree seed. when the time came, he would only need to place a single world tree seed at the formation core. it wouldn't take up any space.
but with the sou gu currently disabled, he couldn't return to his grand herb garden, nor could he bring back the divine trees.
the heaven mending tree and world tree he had on him were still seedlings, not very useful at this point.
so, his shenlong ship currently lacked a formation core. if he encountered a gu king-level expert, it would be extremely dangerous. he urgently needed a batch of divine trees to create the formation core, but the divine trees in his garden alone were far from enough. even if he combined them all, they wouldn't compare to the spirit spring.
after turning this over in his mind, long xuan's eyes gleamed. he immediately put on a fawning smile and shamelessly said to di xin, "di xin, don't rush to bathe. let's talk about your luxurious grand herb garden. that garden of yours..."
however, before he could finish speaking, di xin's face darkened. she hurriedly pushed him out the door, and with a loud "bang," the door slammed shut behind him.
