Chapter 68 - Qi-Seeking Radar
🕑 Added 2024-07-17 07:00:07 +0000 UTCAs soon as Anda claimed the airship, none of the girls wished for it anymore. Anda was their Big Madam after all.
"Is that fine with you Leyvi?" Alita asked for confirmation. Although Leyvi can't inherit the airship, she lets the decision-making power fall on Leyvi because he was the one who brought them here.
"Yes. Since my wife Anda wants it, give it to her." Leyvi replied with a smile.
Alita was silent for a few seconds.
Alita could sense that there was not a little bit of disturbance at all in Leyvi's emotions knowing he couldn't get the airship. How is this possible? Is this guy a saint?
"Very well, Anda, enter this room to complete the ownership transfer." A door suddenly appeared below the screen in between the control panels.
Anda entered the door without hesitation.
Inside the room, Anda saw no other object except for the many symbols that she couldn't understand around the cylinder wall.
"These symbols are the program of my existence. Before I gained sentience, I would have disappeared if this place was destroyed but now it's a different story." Alita explained.
"Is there any good thing I can get from this airship?" Anda was straight to the point.
"For now, unfortunately no. The truth is, even if you become the new owner of this airship, you won't be able to use it for probably a long time." Alita sounded regretful.
"Huh? Why?" Anda frowned. What's the point of getting a treasure they can't use?
"Because your cultivation realm was too low. The previous owner was expecting someone at the peak of this world to discover and inherit this airship. However, after a hundred thousand years, after countless experts failed, the one who succeeded was your husband and unfortunately, all of you here are still very weak. Not to mention that the cultivation system here differs from what the owner had."
Anda was extremely disappointed to hear this. If nothing could help them grow now then what's the point?
"I'm sorry that the things here way exceed your current level. Giving them to you now was a kin to providing money to ants. The ants wouldn't be able to use that money." Alita told Anda the harsh truth.
Anda's eyebrow twitched. Although she understood that they were very weak right now, comparing them to ants was a bit too much.
"Although nothing here could help you right now, one device I have right now should be able to assist you later. The airship requires a spiritual vein to operate, so I had to ask for your help shamelessly to find the spirit vein." There's a tinge of embarrassment in Alita's voice.
Anda rolled her eyes. Is this airship really a treasure? Why does it feel like they were taken advantage of?
"What is a spiritual vein?" Anda had never heard of this term before.
"See, you don't even know about spiritual vein, that's the proof that your level is too low. The spiritual vein is like spirit stones but on an entirely different level. Not only does it have massive spiritual energy, but it also has worldly law in it. If you cultivate near the spiritual veins where the worldly law is present, it will be easier to progress your Dao." Alita explained.
Suddenly, a circular device the size of her palm appeared and was floating in front of Anda.
"This is the Qi-Seeking Radar. It will help you find the spiritual vein. It will point to the place with a high concentration of spiritual energy. If you are lucky, maybe you can find a bunch of spirit stone mines for yourself or some unique cultivation ground. That way you can cultivate faster." Alita doesn't sound embarrassed anymore.
Anda grabbed the radar and inspected it. It had a screen in the middle that showed different levels of spiritual energy density in a 50-kilometer radius around her. Right now, it indicates that this place has the highest level of spiritual energy density.
Anda was quite satisfied with the device. Although they couldn't get a bunch of treasures, for now, this would suffice. After all, Leyvi and her loved adventures. After the Alchemy Conference, she decided to explore the continent while searching for the spiritual vein.
In their region, only low-grade spirit stones were common. She hadn't even seen middle-grade, high-grade, and top-grade spirit stones yet. She could imagine how difficult it would be to find a spiritual vein.
"Alright, the scan and the ownership transfer were completed. Madam Anda, congratulations on becoming the new owner of this airship. I will be waiting for the day madam bring the spiritual vein so we can travel anywhere." Alita humbly said.
The door appeared again and Anda walked out of the cylinder room.
"How is it?" Leyvi asked as soon as he saw Anda.
Anda proceeded to explain everything again to Leyvi. Everyone was quite disappointed that they couldn't get any useful treasure this time.
"Hahaha! Don't worry, we just need to get stronger right? That's not a problem! As long as you are a member of the Leyan Family, I will help you reach the peak together! Okay?" Leyvi tried to cheer them.
"Yes!" They were hopeful again.
"Alita, can I carry the airship with me?" Anda inquired.
"Yes you can but I advise you not to do it for the time being."
"Why?"
"Because a lot of experts were paying attention to this place. If they noticed the Sword Grave Illusion was gone, they could easily investigate and trace everything back to you. If that happens, it'd be your family's end." Alita said seriously.
Alita's words caused everyone to be pale. They swore they would never say anything about this place, ever.
"With that, I wish everyone good luck finding the spiritual vein. I'm entering the hibernation mode again until then to conserve my internal power source." Alita wished them success.
Afterward, Leyvi and the party were instantly transported back to the Sword Grave. The tall sword-shaped rocks appeared again in the vision.
"So, all of this was just an illusion blended with reality huh? Truly amazing!" Leyvi praised the formation. He was careful with his thoughts this time, not wanting to accidentally dismantle the formation again.
Although the ending was a bit anti-climatic, everyone was excited by the experience they went through this time. They got to see a glimpse of how big the world was. They had no clues about many terms that Alita used showing how shallow their knowledge was.
Leyvi's party returned to their carriages in high spirits and continued their journey. They once again went back to the river and traveled along it.
In the airship, a stunningly beautiful woman in a tight foreign outfit was watching Leyvi's party departing from the Sword Grave Illusion. If one were to look carefully, the woman was only in spirit form without a physical body.
"I'm sorry Anda, I actually have a lot of treasures I can give you, but you must prove your worth first. For now, the radar would be enough. Although they are very weak right now, this group is quite interesting, especially Leyvi. I lied about the gender thing but he wasn't bothered at all. No wonder he had formed a Dao Heart so early." Alita talked to herself.
"Sigh, I was at the end of my life so I could only turn myself into a tool spirit and possess this airship through the program. As long as this airship exists, I will be alive. However, I miss my physical body. I can't masturbate anymore! Bohoo!" Alita complained and cried at the end.
Ten days later,
Leyvi's party was almost at the end of the Sword Grave Canyon. After passing the canyon, they would need to travel for another week and reach the Holy Cat City.
Anda who was paying attention to the Qi-Seeking Radar noticed a fluctuation and change in the radar.
"Leyvi, there's a huge energy density west from here. Do we take a look?" Anda asked for Leyvi's opinion.
Leyvi had noticed that Anda looked at the radar constantly in the past ten days. Now that she had found something, there was no way he would deny her so he nodded.
"Mr. Bison, search for a path to the west. We will take a little detour. Your Big Madam has found a location for treasure! Let's go!" Leyvi instructed with a loud voice.
"Yay!" Everyone was excited. They didn't get any treasure last time, so they hoped to get some this time.
Mr. Bison immediately changed direction and headed to the west.
In a cave where Anda's radar was pointing, a big pool of mysterious liquid was guarded by a huge lizard.
It was a high-level Demonic Komodo Dragon!
It had just killed another intruder that came to steal his treasure, the miracle liquid. It swallowed the intruder whole and went back to his hiding place.
It was wounded one day and ran into a cave to hide. It stumbled upon the pool and drank the water to quench its thirst. To its surprise, its injuries healed fast and it became stronger quickly.
Not long after, it easily broke through and became a high-level demonic beast. It had been guarding the miracle pool ever since, killing any creature that came near.
Today, a group of humans invaded his place. It was ready to kill again.
