Chapter 36: Bijouterie

Well, no one can fault me for trashing this flying treasure\'s creator for his naming sense. I mean why would you name it this way it\'s not lik—

Suddenly I remembered the last time that I was trashing this hard. It was that time on \'Chu Feng\' topic and the poor naming sense of authors. That was when karma revealed itself and shat on me...

I shouldn\'t be haste in trash talk, who knows it might have some cloaking technology that I\'m not aware of and with that, the name of the ship makes total sense.

As always I was drowning in my own thoughts when grand elder Wan\'s voice brought me back to reality.

"This flying treasure, Yin Xi, is one of the smallest ships on the sect so it is a good choice for this journey." Grand elder Wan said and from his face, it was clear that he was enjoying the flabbergasted expressions that disciples had.

It wasn\'t only us 100 disciples. The others who had followed us to the sect\'s entrance were also shell-shocked.

\'Damn, he is flexing on us!\' I know the sect was powerful and all but I couldn\'t even imagine that this behemoth was \'one of the smallest ships on the sect\'. If this is small what is my flying treasure? A pocket-flying-treasure?

Grand elder Wan who was enjoying the reactions that he was receiving, didn\'t stop there.

"As this flying treasure has some defensive formation to stop others from entering it without authorization and the fact that you can not fly, we will be using this to enter the ship." As he spoke he channeled some Qi into a device that was in his left hand, and after a second a portal formed in front of him.

Portals are a form of one-way teleportation, meaning that when you enter them you would exit on a predefined teleportation formation that is the exit node. If you want to have two-way teleportation with the portals, you would have to create two separate exit nodes with two corresponding portals.

But the most important fact about portals is that they are a temporary method of transportation, meaning that after its creation if its Qi were to be used or enough time passes for its Qi to be slowly dissipated, the portal would be destabilized and the portal is no more.

Using this method is very useful in situations like this one. You can open a temporary \'door\' to a place and if you have a good level of experience as grand elder Wan, you know how much Qi to use for the portal to last only as long as you need it to be.

As the disciples went through the portal one by one, it was my turn to go to the ship. After a small greeting to grand elder Wan, I used the portal.

I cupped my fists and bowed a little and grand elder Wan smiled and nodded.

In my past life, I always had problems with the MCs who didn\'t give a shit about anyone and had a cliche line like \'I only bow to my parents\' or \'not even heavens can make me bow\'. I mean is it that hard to not be a dick?

In my book, respect should be earned and a grand elder who has seen the world time and time over at least deserves this much of respect from a nobody like me…

The feeling of passing through the portal was new, to say the least. When I used the teleportation formation I felt my body compressing and decompressing fast but my experience with the portal was like passing a thick layer of liquid that applied some pressure to your body. I estimate that the pressure is variable to the distance of teleportation.

After me, Hu Anjing went through the same process and we were both on the Yin Xi ship. The view from the top of the ship was beautiful. No, I\'m not talking about the landscape, the ship itself was astonishing. The level of dedication that they put in its creation is praiseworthy.

"This is hell of a ship…" I thought out loud.

"It is." Hu Anjing seconded.

Turning to her I spoke.

"We have to get as ready as possible so remember to use multiple storage rings so that if one of them were to be lost or destroyed you wouldn\'t face a big problem. Also, distribute your pills in each storage ring in equal portions, you don\'t want to lose a ring and lose all your antidotes for example. Have one of each important potion or pill on your person, who knows there might be some sort of space lock in some stage…" I told Hu Anjing seriously. This girl is strong but you don\'t know what could happen in the trial.

Seeing my serious expression Hu Anjing nodded.

"I will do as you say, Junior uncle." She answered me with the same level of seriousness.

"Good, then we will talk more on the trial grounds." I smiled back at her and patted her shoulder.

Call me paranoid for my advice, but you won\'t believe the amount of the stories that I have read where the MC gets wrecked just because he had lost his storage ring or it was destroyed. There is also the possibility of a space lock formation that would stop one from accessing storage devices…

Of course, I know that in the novels the author wanted to build tension and \'challenge\' the MC but I can\'t hope for luck to be on my side when I can die in each one of these so-called challenges. This is my life now so I have to be vigilant.

After we got to our rooms I started sorting my storage rings and I even added two storage pouches.

Before you judge me, I have my reasons for using storage pouches. When you fight, the part that is the most prone to receive damage is your hands so the storage rings are created from more resistant materials, but that doesn\'t mean they won\'t break with enough force. So even if you have more storage rings, they might get destroyed all together so having storage pouches is a good assurance that in the worst case you have a way out.

What if that was destroyed too? Well, in that case maybe you are destined to die…

…

Night soon came and I was done with my fail-proof storage configuration. It\'s all good and nice but having this many rings I feel like if I wanted I could publish my first album.

Thankfully, I would only put them on in the trials so I don\'t look like someone who looted corpses.

Imagine walking around with 9 storage rings on your hands when people would only use one themselves. If you fill your storage ring you would buy a new one, you don\'t stack them…

So from this world\'s perspective, I must have looted some poor bastards to have this many rings on me…

And oh! If you wanted to ask, the answer is no, You can\'t put a storage ring in a storage ring. From what I know doing so means putting a space inside another space that is theoretically impossible unless you access a hyperspace.

In simpler terms, it\'s not possible so don\'t try it.

Shaking my head to get rid of these useless thoughts I got out of my room to see the night\'s sky.

I have read it in many novels but seeing the nights sky in a world that the fossil fuels were not used as there was another alternative, is a luxury in itself.

Now, as I stand on a ship that is flying, the passing stars are a sight to be seen.

"Are you sightseeing, chief disciple Li?" a male voice from my right spoke.

\'No, I was fishing.\' I badly wanted to roll my eyes but luckily stopped myself.

Turning towards the voice I saw the outer elder who let me cut the line.

\'Did I ask his name?\' I tried to remember his name but I couldn\'t, all I remember of him is his face and the fact that he let me cut the line.

Putting on my best business smile, I spoke.

"Yes. What about you, elder?" I asked him.

He chuckled a little.

"Not exactly, I am looking to see if there would be any emergency." he answered.

"I see, but I don\'t think anyone would have the guts to attack a flying ship of the heavenly sword sect…" I shrugged.

"True, but no amount of safety is safe enough." The elder told Li Huang with seriousness.

After a few seconds of silence, I spoke.

"Couldn\'t have said it better myself." I nodded to him and started seeing him in a new light.

It was at that moment that two extremely paranoid individuals found each other. This was one insignificant event if you look at it solely but it had a great impact on future events…
