Chapter 246 Building a Flying Boat
Chapter 246 Building a Flying Boat
They waited from morning until afternoon before finally meeting the Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor. Given their status, if it weren't for the Brocade Turtle Demon King's past friendship with the Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor, meeting him would have been an extremely difficult task.
The Cloud Phoenix Demon Queen was a woman dressed in a pink feather dress, adorned with few ornaments. Her hair was simply tied up with a gold hairpin, giving her a wild and mysterious beauty. Gu Yuchuan had never seen such a beauty before, but after one glance, he lowered his head. He knew his place when facing a powerful figure.
"Little Turtle, it's been a long time. What brings you here today? And that little dragon over there, your reputation is soaring these days. Even I, who never leaves home, have heard about your deeds. The second most outstanding talent in the world, what a prestigious title."
Her voice was indifferent, without much emotion, and Gu Yuchuan and the other person quickly spoke up.
"Your Majesty, you flatter me. These are just competitions for those who have just entered the path of immortality. In reality, I am merely a Golden Core stage demon king. Compared to Your Majesty, the gap is far too great. As for fame and such, they are all empty words. What truly matters is transforming them into one's own strength."
The Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor smiled and fell silent. Only then did the Brocade Turtle Demon King find his moment to speak.
“Demon Emperor, we have indeed come to ask you for a favor today. The Azure Dragon Demon King beside me wants to build a flying boat, but the two of us alone are completely incapable of doing so. We have come to beg the Demon Emperor to help us build this flying boat.”
The Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor's eyes became somewhat cloudy, as if he was thinking about something: "Jin Gui, I remember, one hundred and twenty years ago, you also came here to find me once. At that time, you asked for a flying boat for yourself. Today you have come again. For a moment, I am still a little dazed. Time really flies."
The Demon King of Brocade Tortoises' eyes also became somewhat dazed: "Yes, it's really fast. But I've lived for 120 years and still haven't been able to build a flying boat. They all say that I am the number one weapon refiner in Yunhai Marsh, but in reality, it's just an empty title. Compared to you, sir, I am far inferior."
The inability to build a flying boat was the greatest torment of the Brocade Turtle Demon King, which also made Gu Yuchuan feel a little sad. He saw his own reflection in this; he, too, could not build a flying boat and could not understand the blueprints.
The Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor waved his hand: "I think you seem to have misunderstood something. A large strategic magic weapon like a flying boat cannot be built by one person alone. Every skill in the cultivation of immortality is very difficult and profound. It is not easy for us to have achieved a certain level of success in weapon crafting. How could we possibly know how to form formations? Even if I were to build the flying boat, the formation would still need to be drawn by a formation master. You are not thinking of comprehending formations on your own, are you? That is indeed unlikely."
These words were a wake-up call. That's right, there's no rule that the flying boat can only be built by one person. A formation master can draw the formation. But even excluding the formation, there are still some parts that Gu Yuchuan doesn't understand. But seeing how happy the Brocade Turtle Demon King is, he should be able to try building the flying boat.
However, since it had already come to the Demon Emperor Yunluan, Gu Yuchuan didn't plan to change anyone. The Demon Emperor had experience in crafting, and what he made would definitely be much better than what they could make.
"Thank you for your guidance, Demon Emperor, but I haven't fully understood the blueprints. I also don't know any array masters. Besides, I really want to get this flying boat as soon as possible, so I still want you to help me build it. I wonder how many spirit stones I will need to pay?"
Yunluan Demon Emperor looked at Jin Gui Demon King, then at Gu Yuchuan: "For a peerless genius like you, I'm willing to sell you a good one. I can only charge you the cost price, but this price is still very high, 180,000 spirit stones. If you can accept it, give me the money, and I can get you the finished product in three days. This price is a fixed price. If you can accept it, we can make a deal; if not, we can part ways amicably."
180,000 is quite high, but it is indeed within Gu Yuchuan's acceptable range, and even a little lower than the highest price he had imagined.
He took out a storage bag, counted out 180,000 spirit stones, and his tone became much more sincere: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor. I know this price is already very low."
The Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor took the storage bag, glanced at it, and confirmed that the quantity was correct.
"Alright, you can stay here. I'll contact you anytime if you have any problems. Someone will take good care of you. I'm going to get ready to build it for you."
She left after she finished speaking, and a maid settled them in the courtyard of a guest room. The guest room looked to be of very high standard, and the spiritual energy was even more concentrated than that of his Dragon Palace.
The Brocade Turtle Demon King looked at the small courtyard and was very happy: "Azure Dragon Demon King, this is the highest-standard guest room here in the Demon Emperor's place. I only stayed here once, 120 years ago, when I came to build the flying boat. Every day, maids would bring many precious spiritual items, which were of very high value."
Gu Yuchuan was also looking around at the layout: "Brother Jin Gui, aren't I also building a flying boat this time? It's not that we have a lot of face, it's that the spirit stones have a lot of face. The reason we were arranged to such a high standard is because we spent 180,000 spirit stones, right? Otherwise, how much face would the two of us demon kings have in front of the Demon Emperor?"
And that was indeed the case; after talking for a while, the two returned to their respective rooms.
They didn't waste the spiritual energy here and began cultivating. Although three days of cultivation wouldn't change their cultivation level, isn't cultivation like water dripping on a stone, emphasizing perseverance? Only through slow cultivation, accumulating little by little, and continuous accumulation, can quantitative change gradually lead to qualitative change.
For the past three days, the Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor had not sent anyone to find him, which meant that there were no problems with the construction of the flying boat. On the afternoon of the third day, the Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor appeared on time and handed the flying boat over to Gu Yuchuan.
This is a three-story flying boat, about one hundred meters long and forty meters wide, making it the largest of the small flying boats. Gu Yuchuan fell in love with his flying boat at first sight. He immediately used his magic to refine it and couldn't wait to experience its power.
As soon as the flying boat was activated, it stood in the air. Gu Yuchuan quickly threw in a lot of spirit stones. This thing was a big spender of spirit stones and not something that ordinary people could afford.
