Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 720 - 177: Gravity Cultivation Room
On the Titan, Shalman knocked on Yue Jinghua’s door a few times but, seeing no response from inside, she became somewhat anxious. She was just about to push the door open when she was stopped by the timely arrival of Qian Luo.
"Jinghua has not shown up for several days, and the food left outside her door has not been touched. I’m worried something might have happened to her," Yue Jinghua had secluded herself in her room ever since she boarded the Titan.
At first, Shalman thought she was in seclusion, so she would leave meals outside the door, but eight days and seven nights had passed without any movement, which seemed unusual.
In the past, Yue Jinghua would also disappear without a trace, but she would come back laughing cheerfully from some corner after a few days. However, this time, they were onboard the Titan, with heaven above and heaven below—where could she have gone?
"I seem to feel some unusual fluctuations coming from the master’s room; perhaps she is seeking some kind of breakthrough. If you rashly barge in, I’m afraid it will disturb her cultivation," Qian Luo was also curious about the fluctuations similar to that of an Illusion Array coming from the master’s room, but without the master’s orders, she would not easily intrude.
Just as Shalman and Qian Luo hesitated, Yue Jinghua’s room door suddenly "whooshed" open.
Yue Jinghua grabbed the food that Shalman had just brought like a starving ghost reincarnated, and wolfed it all down like a whirlwind.
"I’m starving to death," although Yue Jinghua had only entered Fangjie’s Residual Image, the consumption of spiritual power was also extremely physically draining, and she had not eaten for eight days and nights, not even taking any Green Liquid, naturally leaving her famished to the bone.
After gobbling down three servings of food, Yue Jinghua finally regained some vitality. Facing Shalman and Qian Luo, who were staring in shock, she touched her head somewhat embarrassedly: "Where is the ship now?"
"We are already in the suburbs of Wohua Imperial City. In another half an hour, we will reach the airport," Shalman spat at Yue Jinghua, who seemed lively as ever.
Half an hour later, the Titan landed on time at Wohua Airport.
As they descended from the airport, Little Jinuo still looked like he hadn’t had enough, he pulled Yue Jinghua aside warmly, "Little Brother Yue, I must say that the Gravity Cultivation Room on your ship is really fantastic. It’s particularly useful for our Dragon Rider Team; if it’s not too much trouble, can you help the Military Department build a few as well?"
Gravity Cultivation Room?
In the past few days, not only did Yue Jinghua disappear without a trace, but Little Jinuo was also passionately engrossed in cultivating in the Gravity Cultivation Room on the Titan, neglecting sleep and food.
Ever since the last time he was at a disadvantage due to Lady Qing Yan’s Gravity Square Ring in the Sky Dragon Palace, Little Jinuo had been constantly thinking about enhancing his strength, especially his endurance to weight.
For a Dragon Knight, the stronger their physical strength, the more tacitly they can cooperate with their Sub-Asian Dragon.
The most legendary Dragon Knight is said to be the Divine Dragon Knight. A Divine Dragon Rider is formed when a Dragon Blood Knight and their dragon steed achieve soul fusion, transforming into a dragon state.
In their dragon state, Divine Dragon Knights can even split the harshest Plane Hurricanes between planes with their dragon claws, flying through the planes.
Of course, the Divine Dragon Knight is a legendary character; to achieve the dragon state, a Dragon Knight’s physical strength must at least be comparable to that of a true member of the Dragon Clan.
Even so, in order to more perfectly fuse with the power of the Sub-Asian Dragon, Little Jinuo became infatuated with cultivating in the Gravity Cultivation Room on the Titan as soon as he realized its benefits.
On Yue Jinghua’s ship, the gravity cultivation room naturally cannot compare to the Gravity Square Ring. This kind of gravity cultivation room is merely a small gravity space created by Qian Luo through a special array formation. With the aid of Dark Pills, it can exert gravitational forces of one, three, and five times respectively.
However, the most basic gravity of the Gravity Square Ring starts at ten times stronger. Of course, Yue Jinghua would never tell Little Jinuo that she possesses such a divine artifact as the Gravity Square Ring.
Yue Jinghua originally had Qian Luo build it purely to provide an additional training space for the mercenary team, to offer entertainment and relaxation for everyone while taking on long-distance missions.
But since Little Jinuo brought it up, and moreover, did so in the name of the Military Department, Yue Jinghua certainly wouldn’t miss the opportunity to fleece a fat sheep. After all, the wool comes from the sheep itself, and for Little Jinuo, it’s another way to strengthen his physique.
"Brother Jin Nuo, this matter might be a bit difficult. The gravity cultivation room is built by Qian Luo, which involves her family’s secrets," Yue Jinghua said with a face full of difficulty.
"Family secrets? How about this, if you build one for me, I will apply to the Military Department to give you 500,000 Sixth-level Dark Pills?" As a legitimate grandson and heir of a family, Little Jinuo also understood the importance of family secrets very well.
"Family secrets, ah, it’s tough to say," Yue Jinghua continued to express difficulty.
"600,000 Dark Pills," Little Jinuo directly took out a Five-star Dark Pill Card.
"It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but some things can’t be solved with money. I really can’t speak on behalf of Qian Luo," Yue Jinghua sighed endlessly.
"700,000 Dark Pills, Little Brother Yue, these are Sixth-level Dark Pills after all. With this price, you could even buy a prosperous shop in the prime location of the Imperial City. Qian Luo is your subordinate; just one word from you, and what secrets can there be?" Little Jinuo became anxious.
"This..." Yue Jinghua still shook her head, "I regard Qian Luo like a sister and have never forced her into anything."
"800,000 Dark Pills, Little Brother Yue, even I am begging you now," Little Jinuo’s eyes were brimming with tears, and the Dan Xuan Card he was holding trembled as if in a frenzy.
"Alright, for the sake of our life-and-death friendship, I will make an exception and have Qian Luo build three gravity cultivation rooms for you and the Military Department," Yue Jinghua reluctantly agreed, discreetly taking the Dan Xuan Card from him.
"Little Brother Yue, you are truly a good person. I really didn’t misjudge you. Rest assured, when we return to the Imperial City this time, I will definitely report favorably to the Emperor and Princess about your military achievements," Little Jinuo, sold yet oblivious, continued to show his gratitude, while a bunch of Dark Beasts in Yue Jinghua’s Sea of Consciousness clicked their tongues incessantly.
They’ve seen people who love money, but never a woman who loves money this much.
Three gravity cultivation rooms, netting 2.4 million Dark Pills.
Yue Jinghua quickly did the math in her heart. The victory of this northern expedition also meant that she would receive the extra reward promised by Princess Long Xue—an exemption from the taxes of Fengdan Bailu County for several years.
Together with the high profits recently earned from the shops in Linlan Street and Five Saints Town, her current personal wealth was...
"Well, better leave these matters to Hongling and Hong Yao. Each to their own," Yue Jinghua thought, not knowing the exact figure, but having a rough estimate in mind.
It was time to settle the accounts of the Duke Mansion.
