Chapter 146: Original text: Chapter 123 Du Bai’s Suggestion, Purchase the Heaven-Reaching Ship!

"Huff!"

On the bed, Lu Sheng slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. Inside his body, a majestic breath gradually radiated from within him.

"The progress of the Immortal Technique and the Life and Death Technique both increased to 15 points, and the cultivation progress also increased by two points. This cultivation efficiency is indeed a lot faster compared to Tianqi Star."

Lu Sheng opened his eyes, a smile on his lips.

The reason for such fast cultivation efficiency is first the assistance of cultivation resources. On Tianqi Star, there were no such fourth-tier resources. Even if there were, they would require a significant cost and a long waiting time.

Secondly, the Life Factions extracted the energy of the stars using the Plant Dyson Sphere, distributing it amongst the major planets, thus the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in these major planets is far higher than on Tianqi Star.

"The cultivation difficulty of Heaven-Stepping Step and the Five Elements Mini World is not very high. In these ten days, the progress has increased by several tens, and it’s almost at the next level."

"With my current strength, I should be able to defeat the Guardian on the seventy-fifth floor of the Molong Tower."

"Significant improvement!"

Feeling his current state, Lu Sheng smiled and said.

"However, my credits are almost used up. Whether it’s for future cultivation resources or to exchange for the Undying Technique, or if I want to take the third path that Senior Brother Bai mentioned, it will all require countless credits."

"I should find Senior Brother Du Bai to purchase an interstellar ship for accepting missions."

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng immediately found Du Bai’s contact information and dialed it.

The call connected quickly, and Du Bai’s figure was projected in front of Lu Sheng through the wristband.

"Hahaha, Junior Brother Lu Sheng, I knew you would look for me!"

At this moment, Du Bai was wearing new clothes, no longer looking like a beggar as before.

Obviously, Du Bai had long expected Lu Sheng to contact him.

Lu Sheng was helpless. There was nothing he could do, the planet-level ships of Star River University were too expensive, completely beyond what Lu Sheng could afford at the moment.

"Senior Brother Du Bai, do you have any interstellar ships to recommend? My budget is... around three billion Federal Points. I can’t afford anything beyond that."

Lu Sheng said, feeling a bit of a headache.

Although he had become a fourth-tier Transcendent, and was considered a top-level expert on Tianqi Star, he still couldn’t escape poverty.

"Hahaha, it’s normal. Most freshmen feel the same way when they first arrive at Star River University."

Du Bai smiled and said.

"Don’t look at us being fourth-tier, the resources and martial arts techniques needed for fourth-tier are much more expensive compared to those basic martial arts techniques. After all, the better the stuff, the higher the price."

"Naturally, you can’t look at the current situation with the previous perspective."

Lu Sheng nodded; Du Bai’s words were spot-on.

His current wealth was unimaginable for first-tier Transcendents, but merely a drop in the ocean for fourth-tier.

He had to keep a level-headed mentality.

Then, Lu Sheng heard Du Bai say, "Actually, there’s a reason why the interstellar ships of Star River University are so expensive."

"In some cases, interstellar ships are essentially the Spiritual Artifacts of Transcendents, especially those planet-level ships you’ve been eyeing, equivalent to the Spiritual Artifacts of fourth-tier Transcendents. Do you think the price wouldn’t be high?"

"Moreover, those planet-level ships are equipped with Artifact Spirits. These first-tier planet-level Artifact Spirits require fourth-tier cultivators to spend a lot of materials and energy to create."

"It’s precisely because of the need to nurture Artifact Spirits that the prices of interstellar ships remain high."

"And those basic ships without Artifact Spirits are naturally much cheaper compared to those planet-level ships with Artifact Spirits."

"But..."

Du Bai’s tone suddenly shifted.

"Artifact Spirits aren’t necessarily always pre-nurtured; they can also be cultivated by oneself."

Hearing this, Lu Sheng’s eyes lit up.

"Right, Artifact Spirits can also be self-cultivated, and self-cultivated Artifact Spirits are often more reassuring and more satisfying to use than those nurtured by others."

"Why didn’t I think of this before?"

Lu Sheng was enlightened.

Seeing Lu Sheng’s reaction, Du Bai smiled and said, "Besides the Artifact Spirit function, speed is the most important aspect of an interstellar ship. Aside from speed, other functions aren’t that important. After all, it’s just a means of transportation. We’re not going to the frontlines to fight, so no need to consider attack and defense, just speed!"

"Moreover, fourth-tier Martial Artists can handle the load of light-speed flight."

"By discarding all the extraneous features, the price of an interstellar ship naturally drops. As for your budget of three billion Federal Points, let me find something for you."

With that, Du Bai started looking for something. A moment later, Lu Sheng’s wristwatch received the data sent by Du Bai.

Lu Sheng opened it to take a look.

"Heaven-Reaching Ship: Built with Heaven-Reaching Vine Seed as the core to form a Primordial Artifact Spirit, equipped with light-speed cruising capabilities."

"Price: 3,000,000,000 Federal Points!"

"This Heaven-Reaching Ship meets your requirements, with nothing but a Primordial Artifact Spirit and light-speed flying capability. The price is just right. Check it out, and if acceptable, I’ll bring it to you!"

Du Bai’s voice sounded once more.

Lu Sheng looked at the Heaven-Reaching Ship’s data, contemplated for a moment, and eventually decided to purchase it.

As Du Bai said, it’s just a means of transportation; why need so many functionalities?

"Alright!"

Seeing Lu Sheng willing to purchase it, Du Bai promptly agreed and quickly hung up the call.

Not long after, the doorbell outside Lu Sheng’s room rang.

Lu Sheng walked out and saw Du Bai, now in fresh clothes. Next to him was a dark green ship, sleek in appearance with streamlined contours.

As for the interior space...

Lu Sheng glanced inside. Besides the cockpit, it was all empty.

"Here it is, the Heaven-Reaching Ship. The Artifact Spirit is a Primordial Spirit nurtured from the Heaven-Reaching Vine Seed, currently at about early first-tier, with only some faint instincts."

"But that’s not an issue. The Heaven-Reaching Ship’s Artifact Spirit can grow, and in the future, it can reach as high as sixth-tier!"
