Chapter 30: Leaving Rao Zhou (2/2)

With the constant wars between states, it would have been really difficult for states to send out their diplomats to negotiate the construction of an interstate road.

On the other hand, the people here valued herbs and minerals, and thus found innovative ways to improve herb drafting and mineral excavating.

...

The roads just outside of Rao Zhou were still spacious and smooth. But as they travelled further out, the roads were uneven and bumpy. At least the beast carriage's ability to absorb shock was not bad.

Along the way, they met many other beast carriages heading towards the Royal Capital. Mo Wuji discovered that unless they met acquaintances, many people simply cared about their own journey. Even within four families in Mo Wuji's group, the four main participants would only interact during meal time. Most of the time, they would not interact with one another.

After a month, the group stopped by a boundless sea. When Mo Wuji and Co. arrived, there were already mountains of people there. Mo Wuji looked around; the number of people were in the ten thousands. All kinds of beast carriages stopped there. There were even some flying beasts.

Just as Mo Wuji wanted to ask whether the flying beasts were used for carriages, he saw a huge flying beast gliding over from afar, landing on an empty space. Even though Mo Wuji was tens of meters away, he could feel the wind generated by the beast's flapping wings.

On the flying beast's back, there was a huge circular tent. As the beast landed, the tent opened and a few people came out of it.

Indeed, the flying beasts were used for beast carriages, and they were much more convenient than beasts who could only travel on land. Even airplanes would not be as convenient as these flying beasts. No wonder why the people here did not care much for machines. With these flying beasts, who would even bother about building airplanes?

”Damn, when will Cheng Yu State have flying beasts? If we had them, then we wouldn't have taken such a long time to get here,” Mo Wuji heard someone cursing from afar.

He did not need to turn his head to know who that someone was. Naturally, it was the Wu Xue Prefecture Prince, Cao Hao. That guy had a horrible temper. Whenever he wasn’t pleased, he would start shouting and scolding loudly. There was one instance where he even argued with another prefecture's prince when his beast carriage got overtaken.

”Bu'Er, is a flying beast carriage expensive? Why doesn't Cheng Yu State have any?” Mo Wuji whispered to Ding Bu'Er.

He thought that no matter how expensive these flying beasts were, shouldn't Cheng Yu State still be able to afford some?

Ding Bu'Er laughed, ”This is not a matter of price, but identity. It is not easy to buy such beast carriages, and you can't just buy them with money. From what I heard, there is a sect which specialises in rearing these flying beasts. I think its name is...”

”Don't talk too much. Go to the inn and rest. We'll be staying here to wait for the boat,” Han Ning interrupted Ding Bu'Er.

Cao Hao swept his eyes across Mo Wuji and said disdainfully, ”Sister Ning, your cultivating ability is not bad. But your judgement is really lacking. How could you pick such a trash, who doesn't know anything, to follow you to Chang Luo? Haha...”

Naturally, he heard Mo Wuji's questions. At the same time, throughout the trip, Mo Wuji never saluted him, which put him in a very bad mood. With his status, Mo Wuji should have been kneeling down and licking his boots every time they met.

Han Ning's face sank, but she did not refute him. Seeing that Han Ning did not dare refute him, he got more arrogant, ”Sister Ning, our parents have arranged us to be in the same group. Naturally, we wouldn't wish for our group to have such weaklings. In all honesty, I am quite worried for myself. These past two months have been the most dangerous periods of my life.”

He did not do anything to this fellow, yet he was called trash? Naturally, Mo Wuji wasn't happy. A Prefecture Prince could only count as a fart. On Earth, Mo Wuji was a world renowned biologist and botanist. Which people in power did not want to curry his favour?

Mo Wuji laughed and warmly said to Cao Hao, ”I think you shouldn't be too worried. Even a piece of shit will meet a dung beetle. You don't have to be too anxious. Even if you do not get into any sect during the Spring Immortal's Gate, there will still be someone who accepts you.”
