Dandy Pill God-Chapter 618: Dao Artifact Shining Light

"Cough cough... Surely that’s a question for me to ask you?"

Zhu Fei coughed twice, unable to suppress a bitter smile as he countered.

However, after posing the question, Zhu Fei apparently had no intention of waiting for Ji Xuanyue’s reply; his expression turned solemn, and with utmost seriousness, he said to Ji Xuanyue:

"Ji Xuanyue, quickly get ready. We need to leave Xia State immediately."

"Leave Xia State?"

Hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Ji Xuanyue’s expression visibly froze.

But very quickly, it seemed she realized something. Her pretty face became slightly pale as she exclaimed, "When you went out just now, did Li Chengtian and his people come looking for you? No wait...!"

She cut herself off and shook her head, murmuring to herself, "If they had found you, they certainly wouldn’t have let you come back, unless...?"

Ji Xuanyue looked at Zhu Fei with a mix of alarm and suspicion, only to see Zhu Fei respond with a wry smile and a nod.

In that instant, Ji Xuanyue was genuinely shocked.

She covered her mouth with her hand, and although she had already guessed the answer, her voice was still tinged with disbelief as she said,

"Li... Did you really kill Li Chengtian and the others, including Yu Lun?"

"What else do you think? Do you believe that with their nature, upon encountering me, they would have really let me come back?"

Zhu Fei had no intention of hiding the truth from Ji Xuanyue; he shrugged his shoulders and replied quite bluntly.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry up and leave! If we wait for my Sect to react, it will be much harder for us to escape later."

Ji Xuanyue’s demeanor was slightly anxious because she was well aware that although her Sect was only seventh-grade, their influence in Xia State was not to be underestimated.

Moreover, with a colossus like the Shushan Sword Sect watching them like a tiger stalking its prey, a single misstep could mean a tragic end for both her and Zhu Fei.

Zhu Fei was, of course, aware of this as well. So upon hearing Ji Xuanyue’s words, he wasted no time. They both left the inn immediately and flew towards the outskirts of Heavenly Star City.

On the way, Ji Xuanyue took out a flying shuttle from her own possessions to increase their speed.

When Zhu Fei saw this flying shuttle, his eyes narrowed in recognition.

Because he realized that what Ji Xuanyue had just produced was actually a Low Grade Taoist Device!

Low Grade Taoist Devices were no longer mere Magical Treasures, but valuables with self-awareness capable of growth and cultivation. freewёbnoνel.com

Traditionally, the grade of a Daoist Device wasn’t something crafted by human hands, but rather, it required years of nurturing and growth to achieve a true upgrade.

For instance, if Ji Xuanyue’s flying shuttle were to advance to a Mid Grade Daoist Device, it would need more than just a special opportunity; it would require Ji Xuanyue’s meticulous cultivation and the shuttle’s own comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth to potentially become a Mid Grade Daoist Device.

It can be said that all Artifact Refiners in the Cultivation World could only initially refine Low Grade Taoist Devices.

The difference between them lay only in the intrinsic quality of the Daoist Devices themselves. Those with good innate qualities had a higher chance and required less time to upgrade. Conversely, if the quality was poor, the device might remain at the Low Grade level forever.

But no matter what, a Daoist Device was still a Daoist Device, and its value and rarity were not something that true artifacts and other Magical Treasures could even begin to compare with.

Because even the poorest quality Daoist Device possessed strength comparable to a Harmonization Cultivator!

These are the truly extraordinary qualities of what’s known as a Daoist Device!

"Senior Liu Guang, the matter ahead will need your trouble and assistance."

At this moment, Ji Xuanyue suddenly addressed the flying shuttle beneath her with a sincere tone.

"Ji, my young friend, rest assured. Since my master chose you, I will do my utmost to keep you safe and will not lightly let you face danger."

Along with a somewhat elderly voice, there appeared an old man with a white robe and profound gaze, an illusory figure, suddenly before Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue.

Was this the Contract Spirit of the flying shuttle?

Seeing the suddenly appearing illusory figure of the old man, Zhu Fei recognized his identity at a glance.

Upon seeing him, Zhu Fei did not delay and immediately greeted the old man’s apparition with a fist-held salute, showing his greeting and respect.

The old man’s apparition did not say much in response but nodded slightly to Zhu Fei.

Then, with a flash of his figure, he quickly merged back into the body of the flying shuttle.

"By the way, Zhu Fei, where should we head to next?"

Watching the Contract Spirit of the flying shuttle disappear, Ji Xuanyue had no intention to explain to Zhu Fei; instead, she directly asked about the most pressing issue at hand.

Zhu Fei only pondered briefly before directly answering, "Let’s head to Tai State? That’s currently the most suitable for our next part of the journey."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing Zhu Fei’s response, Ji Xuanyue was visibly puzzled, and she promptly looked at Zhu Fei with a hint of confusion.

Zhu Fei did not elaborate further, but rather, he took out the Beast Skin Treasure Map, which he had already assembled, from his person and pointed at the map with a smile, saying,

"Look, it’s because of this. Previously, I was lucky to obtain the last piece of the beast skin from Yu Lun’s person. So, according to the records on this treasure map, I’ve decided to go to Tai State."

Ji Xuanyue’s eyes widened in amazement, her expression one of astonishment as she looked at the Beast Skin Treasure Map in Zhu Fei’s hands, unable to believe that he could have assembled it in such a short time.

Finally, Ji Xuanyue took a long breath, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Zhu Fei, "Zhu Fei, you managed to do this? You’re impressive."

"Can I take what you just said as a compliment?" Zhu Fei asked with a wry smile, touching his nose.

"Hehe, what do you think?" Ji Xuanyue smiled back with a question and immediately addressed the flying shuttle’s Contract Spirit without waiting for Zhu Fei’s reply, "Senior Liu Guang, let’s head to Tai State."

"Alright, that’s possible." The flying shuttle’s Contract Spirit, named Liu Guang, had just answered when he intended to delve into the void, preparing for spatial travel.

But just at that moment, a wave of spatial fluctuation suddenly came from the space ahead.

Immediately, space abruptly tore open, and two figures emerged abruptly from the void, blocking the path of the flying shuttle, one in front of the other.

It was Chu Longtian and another man in green robes, both wearing a playful look as they eyed Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue.

Chu Longtian even mocked, "How is it? You two, having just killed my junior from the Ghost Sword Sect, think you can just leave like that? Isn’t that a tad naïve?"

No sooner had Chu Longtian finished speaking than the green-robed man beside him immediately added,

"Indeed, Zhu Fei. According to our investigation, the murderer of our young master in the Multi-treasure Xuantower should be you, no? How about it? Isn’t it time you gave us Wind God Valley an explanation?"
