Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 397 - 378: Part 2
The marvel of the flying ship, once you step on the deck, gives you a fleeting sense that you might just reach out and touch the firmament.
The sky over the Hundred Battles Ruins is a deep, desolate azure.
Cracks crisscross it, and up close, you can’t help but feel a creeping fear of being drawn into an endless void by one of them.
Ji Yang stepped onto the deck of the unanchored ship, couldn’t help but let out an "Ah."
This made Golden Abacus laugh heartily again.
Moreover, among the maids lined up on either side of the spacious deck, one girl also stifled a giggle.
The girl was conveniently at the head of the maid line on the left.
When she laughed, the other maids couldn’t hold back either, bowing their heads or turning their faces, sneaking glances at Ji Yang, giggling in a cascade of laughter.
The maids on the deck were all young, vibrant, and exceptionally beautiful.
When their laughter rang out as one, it was like a tremor among spring blossoms, reminiscent of fallen petals scattered on the ground.
This scene was originally incredibly beautiful.
So beautiful it could make one ignore that these maids were actually mocking Ji Yang.
Even Ji Yang himself didn’t notice anything wrong; his eyes were dazzled, and he hurriedly turned his gaze, nervously hiding his hands behind his back.
He didn’t even know what he was hiding, or why he was hiding it.
Until Golden Abacus angrily scolded, "What are you doing? Laughing for no reason is unbecoming!"
The maids immediately fell silent, bowing their heads, not daring to speak.
Golden Abacus then pointed at the maid who had laughed first, sternly saying, "Lady Meng, come here. I have important matters to discuss with our distinguished guest, and you shall serve the tea."
The girl named Lady Meng quickly moved her steps delicately, gracefully stepping out of the line, bowing to Golden Abacus in acknowledgment.
She cast another sidelong glance at Ji Yang, then curtsied to him, saying, "Lady Meng greets you, my lord."
Her voice was crisp, a delightful sing-song, and her ethereal appearance was breathtaking—truly the most beautiful woman Ji Yang had ever seen.
How could Ji Yang withstand such a spectacle?
His face instantly flushed red; he didn’t dare to say a word, only stammering, "Yes, yes..."
Thus, Ji Yang was led by Golden Abacus into the expansive pavilion on the deck.
Stepping into the large hall on the first floor, he first saw an enormous hall, filled with countless varieties of Spiritual Materials.
Inside was also bustling, with many cultivators in robes bustling about, trading, making Ji Yang all the more envious.
The feeling of being dazzled by Lady Meng’s beauty earlier had faded significantly.
Chen Xu always silently followed beside Ji Yang, boarding the flying ship without a sound, and silently ascended onto the unanchored ship.
Every moment, he carefully observed everything around him, memorizing every sight and sound.
Including every detail of the conversations between people.
For instance, just before Lady Meng laughed, Golden Abacus had just glanced at her.
Also, when Lady Meng stepped out of the line, Golden Abacus gave her a subtle hint with a look.
At that moment, Chen Xu realized that Golden Abacus intended for Lady Meng to use her charms on Ji Yang.
This move by Golden Abacus only made Chen Xu more determined.
Very well.
Since Golden Abacus planned to use a beauty trap on Ji Yang, it just as well indicated that he indeed didn’t intend to use force against Ji Yang.
Or rather, in the short term, without truly understanding Ji Yang’s background, Golden Abacus clearly wasn’t prepared to resort to any excessive means.
Everything prioritized gentle and probing measures.
The Celestial Boat Commerce possesses vast influence, yet when faced with someone as insignificant as Ji Yang, it acts with restraint.
This can be related to a lot of information.
Firstly, the Celestial Boat Commerce is likely a cautious faction when conducting business.
Or rather, there’s a seventy percent chance that Celestial Boat Commerce is genuinely involved in legitimate trade.
The way of merchants, after all, emphasizes harmony and profit. To a certain extent, there’s no need to casually resort to violence.
Or tear down relations and compete without limits.
Secondly, although the sect disputes in this realm may be intense, the larger environment and surface level likely maintain a certain order.
Maybe it’s because there are too many high-level cultivators, so most with common sense act with restraint.
After all, no one knows if someone you provoke is actually backed by a powerful entity.
Or perhaps a powerful figure disguised among the ordinary...
Of course, the latter is very unlikely.
In short, the rational won’t easily become mortal enemies in plain sight.
Unless they can figure out the other’s background.
Or... have lost all sense of reason.
That is another matter entirely.
Overall, the order in this realm is quite acceptable.

Or perhaps that’s just a great power in disguise among the mortal realm...
Of course, the possibility of the latter is very small.
In short, rational people would not easily make mortal enemies openly.
Unless they can clearly understand the other’s background.
