736 Putting Me in My Place? (1/2)

How envious I am of the Holy Crest Sect, to be able to come across someone as intelligent and amazing as I am! Wang Baole coughed. He left the team with a sense of superiority unfurling within him and headed for the interior of the battleship as the Nascent Soul realm elder had instructed.

The repairs of the battleship were divided into two parts—exterior and interior. The battleship's exterior required quite extensive repairs, but the level of expertise necessary wasn't especially high. The repairs of the battleship's interior was a different matter. Security was more stringent as well. Wang Baole had to go through five array formations before he was let in.

After he had passed all the inspections, he was teleported directly into the battleship. Wang Baole saw the cultivator who was to be his guide.

He was a middle-aged man who appeared to be at the early-stage Core Formation realm. He immediately stepped forward and cupped his fists in greeting when he saw Wang Baole.

”Greetings, Senior Brother Long Nanzi. Many parts of the battleship's interior are still damaged. It can be dangerous walking around if one isn't aware of the parts of the battleship that are still under repair. That's why I've been told to wait here for your arrival and to lead you to Team Seven!”

Long Nanzi was considered a disciple with relatively high status in the Holy Crest Sect. Even though he hadn't reached a breakthrough in cultivation for many years, he was still at the perfected Core Formation realm. Despite his lack of talent in refining armaments, he still garnered some degree of respect from other disciples.

Wang Baole responded to the other cultivator's courteous manner with a smile. Due to Long Nanzi's naturally thin lips, his smile appeared cold and slightly unfriendly. It made the middle-aged cultivator feel slightly uncomfortable. He cautiously led Wang Baole to their destination and did his best to answer Wang Baole's questions.

The answers Wang Baole got from the cultivator gave him a greater understanding of Team Seven. There were forty-one teams working on the battleship, and the repair work was divided up clearly amongst the teams. However, due to the lack of manpower, each team also had to handle other repair work that fell beyond their scope of duties.

These teams were overseen by nine teams. The latter supervised the teams under their purview while taking care of more advanced and important repairs. The team that he was going to join, Team Seven, was responsible for the battleship's defense system.

Their scope of work required a higher level of proficiency in armament refinement. There were nineteen members in the team. Instead of working together like the groups repairing the battleship's exterior, every disciple in Team Seven had their own work station where they completed their tasks independently.

Besides the daily tasks assigned to them, these disciples could also check the list of outstanding repairs during their spare time and perform whatever repairs or refinements were required.

To increase efficiency and autonomy, the Holy Crest Sect would give out credits for work done that could then be exchanged for materials required for cultivation. This proved to be an incentive in such times when resources were scarce.

As they journeyed through the battleship, Wang Baole took note of the interior of the battleship. Inside the vast space were numerous Dharmic Artifacts that formed part of the battleship's structure. In addition, there were also some living organisms that had fused together with the walls of the battleship.

Interesting. Wang Baole's eyes narrowed. The literature he had read hadn't spoken about fusion spells that could fuse living organisms with Dharmic Artifacts. His own experience told him instantly that such fusions could greatly enhance the battleship's capabilities. His interest towards the Divine Eye civilization's Dharmic Armament system intensified.

The middle-aged man led Wang Baole through the battleship. It took an hour for them to reach the sector where Team Seven was located.

The sector resembled a bee's hive, with dozens of small rooms clustered together. The open square that surrounded the rooms was cluttered with piles of damaged components and materials. A young cultivator stood in the square, barking out orders to the other cultivators. They recorded each material in their possession and sent them into the rooms.

”Send this Third-Belt Compass to Senior Brother Chen Luo.

”Tell Junior Brother Li Fang that the Roy Pearl he just repaired isn't up to standard. If he doesn't fix it, he can get out of Team Seven!
