The Skyship soared across the Basilisk Forest with little to no obstruction. A majority of the serpents and lizards of the Basilisk Forest had no flight capabilities, allowing for a safe travel.

Ying Sumian stood quietly at the helm of the ship, her expression calm and serene. There was not the slightest trace of that desperate girl from before. Yan Zaizen couldn't help but be suspicious about the entire situation. It could be that she was calm because he decided to help her family, but he didn't think it was that simple. In truth, he didn't even think it was that at all.

However, whenever he asked her about the situation, she simply responded with vague answers and reassured him that his help was essential. At first, Yan Zaizen was incredibly skeptical, and he was even contemplating taking the Sky Ship like a bandit in daylight.

Regrettably, Ying Sumian explained the ship could only be operated by using a special qi-art that needed to be taught. She would only pass it over to him after he helps. He investigated this over the course of their trip, and it was true.

He couldn't help but sigh. If it wasn't for the sheer value of the skyship, he would never have accepted. His greed got the better of him, but whenever he looked at this beautiful skyship, his mind became calmer towards accepting the situation.

The skyship had the appearance of a sea ship, except it had curved wings at its base and only two floors. The top floor was the deck, and the helm was located there. It had a sole ship mast near its stern, but instead of having a normal sail, it was a transparent film that had a myriad of different formations shaped in a square. It dazzled with a faint glow of faint blue light.

The second floor had a multitude of different rooms used for passengers, cultivation, or storage of cargo. Unlike normal ships, it merely required a lone person to steer the ship, as all of its components were interconnected and controlled from the helm with a unique qi-art.

The value of this ship ranged from five to six hundred drops of mid-grade liquid essence. If translated into low-grade liquid essence, that would be over 50,000 drops! The sheer amount made Yan Zaizen salivate with greed. It was this precise reason why he agreed to Ying Sumian's request almost instantly. It also had flight speed that rivaled Qi Unification Cultivators, and only required essence as fuel to run. Therefore, anyone could operate it regardless of one's cultivation base.

If he had this ship and enough essence, traveling to Meteorite City from the Basilisk Forest wouldn't remain a dream. It wouldn't take years; it'll take months.

He still harbored his doubts, however. Like how this ship was obtained by Ying Sumian, someone who had to struggle in the Basilisk Forest for money. She just kept getting more and more mysterious. Regardless, he had already agreed, and with his soul cultivation, he had a little confidence in being able to overcome any trial as long as it didn't concern fighting an entire army.

”How long will it take to reach Sky Titan City?” Yan Zaizen asked, his eyes staring at the shifting surroundings and thin barrier that protected the deck from rushing winds.

”Shouldn't take any longer than eighteen days.” She responded.
