CHAPTER 142: 141. CLOUD CONCEALMENT (1/4)

Construction—The Flying Ship Construction House!

Wen Ping was stunned for a moment and quickly asked, "Is the Flying Ship Construction House a special building for cultivation?"

The system responded, "No. As the Sect Leader of a super sect, naturally, you can’t rely on walking for travel. The Flying Ship Construction House is designed solely to create a unique transportation tool for the host. Construction cost: 10,000 Gold Coins. The host can choose whether to build it now or not if it’s not needed."

"Build it."

Even though he currently had only around 20,000 Gold Coins, Wen Ping decisively chose to proceed with the construction.

As soon as he finished speaking, a popup appeared in front of him.

[Constructing in Flying Ship Construction House...]

[Time Remaining: 1 hour]

"So fast?"

"Building is much simpler and quicker than renovating old buildings, thus it consumes less time. During this waiting period, the host can first use the Heaven and Earth Transformation."

"Will there be any major commotion?"

Not only that, Wen Ping was also worried whether they would all be kicked out of Yunlan Mountain, just like how the Tingyu Pavilion transformed and the host was directly kicked out.

With the Heaven and Earth Transformation, if everyone gets kicked down the mountain and stands awkwardly in the street, that would be embarrassing.

The system replied, "No."

Upon hearing this answer, Wen Ping breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, proceed with the Heaven and Earth Transformation immediately."

"This transformation is a basic transformation, altering the soil, climate, and water quality. After completion, the soil will be replaced with Dustless Soil suitable for planting the Tree of Life, the climate will be warm in winter and cool in summer, and the water will be transformed into Spiritual Water that reduces fatigue and prolongs life. The host can receive rewards for further transformations by completing tasks in the future."

[Transformation in progress...]

[Time Remaining: 24 hours.]

Glancing at the lengthy time displayed in the popup, Wen Ping was not surprised and then walked towards Churao Mountain.

Upon arriving at Churao Mountain, he cultivated in the Battle Realm for a while before stepping out once the Flying Ship Construction House was completed.

The Flying Ship Construction House was located behind the Fierce Beast Trial Ground, with a flat forest in front, allowing for a thousand-mile view. However, this Flying Ship Construction House was not on the ground but underground. Wen Ping entered through the entrance, stepping into this nearly hundred-meter-wide construction house.

A huge iron frame was placed in the center, with the center of the frame holding a wooden dragon bone of a ship.

Wen Ping tried to walk up and pat the dragon bone material. When his hand touched it, it felt like he was patting steel, and it hardly looked like wood.

"Host, stop patting it. The flying ship’s wood is made of Treasures of Heaven and Earth. With the host’s strength, leaving even a slight mark on its surface is very difficult."

"Is it that hard?" With a satisfied smile, Wen Ping touched the dragon bone, full of contentment, then asked, "System, when will this flying ship be completed?"

The system responded, "In 48 hours."

"Keep introducing it, don’t stop."

"Its flying speed far exceeds that of the Wing Race’s Great Demons in the Upper Profound Realm, capable of flying a thousand miles in an hour. The host can use it to go anywhere. Following a second upgrade, it will be even faster. This flying ship is yet unnamed; the host can name it, and during construction, its name can be engraved."

Listening to the system, Wen Ping smiled, quite pleased. To fly in the sky and surpass the Wing Race’s Great Demons in the Upper Profound Realm—the speed would probably make East Lake a short journey in half a day, wouldn’t it?

East Lake spans tens of thousands of miles wide; wanting to travel solely by carriage might take a lifetime. This flying ship fulfills his long-held dream of exploring the vast world and broadening horizons.

Dismissing the reverie, Wen Ping frowned in contemplation for a while before saying, "Let’s name it Cloud Concealment."

"Naming successful! The host can also equip it with special abilities. Currently, the Flying Ship Construction House offers the ability: Invisibility Shield. By spending 10,000 Gold Coins, the host can acquire the ability to render Cloud Concealment invisible, with each charge lasting 24 hours. This can spare the host some unnecessary troubles."

"I want it."

Fortunately, he currently had another 10,000 Gold Coins on him, otherwise, he would end up creating a less-than-perfect flying ship. The name Cloud Concealment is fitting; without the invisibility shield, how can it be concealed?

Immediately, Wen Ping began strolling around the Flying Ship Construction House, lost in thoughts as he looked at the thirty-meter dragon bone. Time ticked by, and suddenly, Wen Ping remembered something, quickly saying, "By the way, open the embedded shop of the Flying Ship Construction House."

Seeing the items in the embedded shop of the Flying Ship Construction House, Wen Ping was taken aback.

His anticipation vanished.

Instead, he felt a bit of disappointment.

Because the items inside were picks and shovels and such.

Wen Ping said, "System, although the embedded shop mainly provides life auxiliary items, it shouldn’t refresh labor tools, right?"

The system responded, "The host will need them; Dustless Soil is indestructible, and only these tools can move it."

"A pick costs a Thousand Gold each, well, I won’t buy any."

Feeling the emptiness in his pockets, Wen Ping helplessly turned and walked back the way he came. After returning to Yunlan Mountain, he encountered Yang Lele heading towards him.

"Sect Leader, Huai Ye asked me to invite you to eat."

"Okay, let’s go." Speaking of which, he was indeed hungry, probably due to the Hellfire burning everything in his stomach to ashes.

Upon arriving at the kitchen, he saw the Red-eyed Giant Ape standing there motionless with a pickaxe bought by Zhao Yi.

The Red-eyed Giant Ape, who had been standing still for a long time, smelling the fragrance of food, immediately wanted to leave when Wen Ping arrived. Although the scent was very tempting, it felt it must not lose its dignity, especially in front of Wen Ping.

Just as it was about to leave, Wen Ping called out, "Red-eye, I have something to ask you. Come with me."

The Red-eyed Giant Ape calmly responded, "Whatever it is, I surely won’t tell you."

Wen Ping ignored its bravado, walking to an empty spot, turning back, and glared at the Red-eyed Giant Ape shaking its foot and head, looking like a hooligan, coldly saying, "You learned no good things from humans, just some bad ones. Is 300 years too short for you, or do you want a couple of hundred more?"

Grinding its teeth and standing resolutely, the Red-eyed Giant Ape was extremely defiant inside, its red eyes seemed ready to spit out fire as it looked at Wen Ping.

Wen Ping began questioning, "You’re now part of the Immortal Sect; tell me honestly, why did you lead the Beast Armada against Cangwu City?"

"A whim." The Red-eyed Giant Ape blandly replied.

"If you won’t tell the truth, go ahead and plant trees for 300 years at the Immortal Sect. Tomorrow, I’ll have all the trees around the Immortal Sect chopped down and replanted!" Saying this, Wen Ping turned and was about to leave.

Hearing Wen Ping’s words and seeing him already taking several steps forward, the Red-eyed Giant Ape reluctantly responded, "No... actually... of course there’s a reason! My things were stolen."
