Looking at the metal sphere in Da Siming's hand, Zhang Bairen gently waved his hand, using the true energy of Wan Chuan Qiu Shui to make the metal sphere float into his hand.
Then, he used his true energy to compress the copper ball, causing it to transform into the true form of the Pixiu.
Immediately afterwards, the adorable Pixiu, one of the nine sons of the dragon who had just awakened, voluntarily spat out its dragon soul under the pressure of Zhang Bairen's true energy.
Chat groups can send any non-living item via red envelopes.
As long as no one claims the red envelope, it can be used as storage space.
Pixiu is a living entity and cannot be stored in a chat group.
Dragon Soul is the essence of meteorites, so there are no such concerns.
Therefore, Zhang Bairen decisively forced out the Dragon Soul and stored it in the chat group.
Just as the little one was about to get angry, Zhang Bairen grabbed her by the back of the neck and lifted her up.
"So, it's a female Pixiu." Zhang Bairen glanced at it and then placed the Pixiu in his palm.
The little guy, who was just angry, was now both angry and shy, and opened his mouth to bite Zhang Bairen's hand.
The mythical beast Pixiu, capable of devouring gold and iron, is not as simple as it appears.
If you underestimate her teeth, you'll definitely suffer a great loss.
However, Zhang Bairen had anticipated this.
Therefore, by directly controlling the muscles and tremors of the hand, the little Pixiu is made to stand unsteadily without being able to detach itself.
Furthermore, it cannot open its mouth to bite down.
This is a profound martial arts technique and absolute control over the muscles; it is a normal operation within the art of skill.
"Congratulations, Master Fuyao, on obtaining the supreme treasure, the Dragon Soul!" Gongshu Chou said with congratulations.
"Let's go, it's time to head to Loulan."
"Oh, and remember to take this old man with you." With a smile, Zhang Bairen teased the little Pixiu as he turned and left the room.
"Yes, Master Fuyao!" Gongshu Chou bowed again in reply.
This Grand Preceptor of Qin really has no face to lose.
In front of Zhang Bairen, they could only obey his every word.
Of course, this was also Ying Zheng's order.
Zhang Bairen was in full charge of this operation.
Therefore, Gongshu Chou did not have much power; he was only responsible for assisting in the work.
The next day, the enormous desert ship sailed into the depths of the desert.
The enormous sand barge, forged using mechanical arts, uses sand as seawater, and sailing on it now feels perfectly natural.
Perhaps because it was a year earlier than expected, the whereabouts of the protagonist Jing Tianming and Xiang Shaoyu were still unknown in this border city.
The operation went by a strangely smooth success.
After one night, the sandboat entered the depths of the desert.
All that could be seen, besides the endless yellow sand, were some scattered sandstone fragments.
This is the desert, an endless expanse of yellow with no other colors.
Even cacti have never appeared.
At noon, the Cloud Bat soldiers who were in charge of scouting returned to the sand boat. They also needed to eat and drink, and they also needed to rest and change shifts. Flying in the desert consumed far more water and energy than usual.
According to the scouts from the Cloud Bats, there is a lot of sandstone ahead, so the sandboats should take a detour.
Upon hearing the report, Zhang Bairen glanced sideways at Gongshu Chou.
"Please rest assured, Master Fuyao, the Desert Ship is extremely sturdy. It can crush not only sandstone, but even small hills!"
"We don't need to change course!" Gongshu Chou replied.
Zhang Bairen nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Gongshu Chou's words.
The Gongshu family's domineering mechanical arts were originally designed for destruction.
Does this mean that sandboats were merely a means of navigation?
wrong!
All the mechanical creations of the Gongshu family are genuine weapons of war!
From the small-sized Saburo to the large-sized Red Serpent, they all possess combat and destructive capabilities.
Even mirages in the future could serve as fortresses in naval warfare.
After everyone had eaten, the sandboat sailed into the sandstone region.
Gongshu Chou stroked his small tuft of white beard and confidently steered the sand boat.
"Master Fuyao, please watch closely. The attack and defense capabilities of the Desert Ship will now be demonstrated to you." Gongshu Chou said, pulling the bronze control lever in front of him.
As the mechanism was activated, several dark holes appeared on the bow of the sand barge, which was covered with thick bronze.
Then, the huge crossbow bolt was fired.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
With a dull thud, the massive crossbow bolt, secured by a rope, shattered the sandstone ahead before being retrieved back into the ship.
Immediately afterwards, the sturdy desert ship, pressing down on the sandstone fragments, sailed normally all the way.
Zhang Bairen clapped lightly, showing sufficient respect for the Gongshu family's mechanical skills.
"Excellent, very skillful use of mechanisms," Zhang Bairen praised.
A confident smile appeared on Gongshu Chou's face.
"Master Fuyao, based on Old Man Lü's memories, we can learn about the current situation."
"Once we arrive in the sandstone region, we won't be far from the secret passage to Loulan," Gongshu Chou replied.
"Okay, I understand," Zhang Bairen replied softly.
"Master Fuyao, there are withered fish appearing outside. We are very close to our destination!" Da Siming stepped into the control room and reported to Zhang Bairen.
"Dried fish?" A hint of curiosity appeared in Zhang Bairen's eyes.
Zhang Bairen, who had watched the anime, naturally knew what a dried fish was.
However, even though we already knew about the giant fish that could survive in the desert, we couldn't help but feel a little curious.
“Master Fuyao, the dried fish lives deep in the desert and is considered a rare species,” Da Siming explained.
Zhang Bairen replied, "I know that there are records about dried fish in the Heavenly Sect's collection of books."
"It's just that I've never seen it before."
After Zhang Bairen finished speaking, he strode towards Da Siming. Then, as if he had teleported, his original body instantly turned into smoke, while his true form had already arrived on the deck.
Looking at the giant fish leaping out of the desert beside the sand boat, Zhang Bairen stretched out his palm and grabbed a desert fish with an invisible hand of true energy.
This dried fish was about five meters long and struggled with tremendous force, far exceeding that of ordinary fish and animals.
It seems that the desert environment has made these fish incredibly strong and capable of fighting.
Inside the control room, the Great Master of Fate looked shocked.
In that instant, she had no idea how fast Zhang Bairen was moving.
You must know that I am one of the five elders of the Yin Yang School. Even the left and right protectors could not prevent me from reacting in time.
Unless, this acting sect leader of the Heavenly Sect has already reached the strength level of His Majesty the Eastern Emperor!
But is that even possible?!
So young, so talented, it's simply impossible!
"Great Master of Fate, remember your identity, remember your position."
"You are a henchman of the empire, and you should feel honored, not shocked and terrified." Gongshu Chou stepped forward and whispered a reminder in the ear of the Grand Master of Fate.
Realizing his loss of composure, the High Priestess quickly regained his senses.
At this moment, Zhang Bairen and Gongshu Chou both left the control room and went up to the deck.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and prepare the fish-raising equipment to settle this desert fish for Master Fuyao!" Just as Zhang Bairen was about to release the fish, Gongshu Chou's voice suddenly came over.
