A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 142 Wanmu Chaozong
Blue Star.

After an eight-and-a-half-hour flight, Li Weizhou set foot on Alaskan soil, the spiritual homeland of many, and indeed, the scenery is beautiful—a wonderful place.

This area was originally the territory of Native Americans and Eskimos. Later, the Russians came and caused some trouble, selling animal hides and such. It wasn't too bad, because no gold mines had been discovered at that time.

Later, the Russians sold this barren and harsh land to the Americans, and gold mines were discovered there. Countless gold prospectors flocked to the area, and the Native Americans and Eskimos who had lived there for thousands of years suffered a terrible fate, with only one in ten surviving.

The world, in reality, has never changed. It's just that later it changed from gold to oil...

Li Weizhou didn't appreciate the scenery along the way much, but went straight to the Tongas National Forest.

There was nothing new about it; it was the same as what happened on the Japanese side—the same method was used, and vast swathes of forest lost most of their vitality…

Although the trees still stand tall, countless withered leaves have already fallen in a flurry.

The vital water within them is mostly plundered to nourish the growth of the Jianmu tree.

One million hectares.

Two million hectares.

……

Six million hectares!
This largest forest in North America withered completely in just one hour.

However, there's no need to worry too much. As long as there's a rain, the thick layer of fallen leaves will decompose and increase the soil's fertility, and the greenery will reappear.

The vitality of 5.5 billion trees has caused the small buds on the roots of the Jianmu tree to grow two and a half inches taller, and now they look like seedlings.

As a series of simple messages arrived, Li Weizhou's eyes gradually brightened.

After leaving a bloodshot phantom image in place, he instantly returned to the China-Shantou border and urgently met with Zhao Jiugu.

……

"Wha...what?"

Zhao Jiugu may have already moved his office to the southwest. He arrived at Li Weizhou's location by helicopter in just thirty minutes. After listening to Zhao Jiugu's concise summary of the conversation, even though he had already accepted Li Weizhou's almost omnipotent personal abilities, he still found it hard to believe.

Li Weizhou didn't explain much, but instead took out the Jianmu tree and said, "This is a divine tree. It is currently just a sapling and needs to constantly absorb the essence of plants to grow stronger, but it already has the ability to stabilize the structure of heaven and earth."

The area where it grows will no longer be threatened by earthquakes. Currently, it can only stabilize an area of ​​about a hundred miles, but as long as it is continuously supplied with the essence of vegetation, the area it can stabilize will expand as it grows. Sooner or later, the entire Shan State, plus Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and even Tibet and Xinjiang, and finally encompassing the whole of China, will no longer be threatened by geological disasters.

At that time, the Central Plains will truly become a vast and prosperous land. The Southwest will also become a true land of abundance.

"There's more than one railway line connecting Shan State that can be built; even the water resources can be developed with confidence!"

Zhao Jiugu took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Li, I'll believe it's true for now. So, what do you need us to do?"

Li Weizhou said, "It's very simple. We need to keep transplanting mature, fast-growing forests to the northern Shan Plateau, no matter the cost! I think this is more worthwhile than any infrastructure project."

Zhao Jiugu nodded slowly and said, "Sichuan experiences an average of over sixty earthquakes of magnitude three or higher every year, causing countless losses. The Shan Plateau in northern Sichuan is even worse, with hundreds of earthquakes occurring annually. This adds far too many uncontrollable risks to land transportation between the two countries. If it were just transplanting fast-growing forests..."

Li Weizhou reminded, "Not only earthquakes, but all geological disasters, including mudslides, landslides, rock fractures, poor soil stability and other geological risks, will be resolved."

This is the Jianmu Divine Tree, capable of stabilizing the entire structure of the universe!
If even minor geological disasters were to occur in the area where it is located, then the title of the number one divine tree in the universe would be rather undeserved.

Zhao Jiugu smiled wryly, "I don't know whether I should believe it or not. If even geological disasters like this can be resolved, then... the title of 'Land of Abundance' will truly be well-deserved. And the Northern Shan Plateau can be transformed into a paradise on earth."

He didn't even dare to think about how wonderful it would be if all of China were free from geological disasters.

After a moment's hesitation, just as he was about to speak, he suddenly received a phone call. His eyes gradually turned strange. Without hanging up, he looked at Li Weizhou and asked, "Mr. Li, did you just return from Japan?"

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "And Alaska too."

A hurried voice came through the phone, saying, "Please wait a moment."

Two or three minutes later, a horrified exclamation came from the phone: "It's true!! The Tongas National Forest in Alaska has also undergone drastic changes! We don't know what kind of insect disease it has contracted, but millions of hectares have withered, my God..."

Li Weizhou said calmly, "If it weren't for this, the divine tree wouldn't be able to revive. I used most of the life-giving water from nearly 10 billion trees to revive this divine tree. But if it wants to grow, even another 10 billion trees wouldn't be enough; it needs to be continuously nourished for ten years. However, during those ten years, the divine tree will gradually give back to the earth."

Zhao Jiugu hung up the phone, gritted his teeth, and said, "Let's do it!! Fast-growing forests can sprout seedlings in two months, and eucalyptus trees can grow to three or four meters in a year, and five to eight meters in two years is no problem. First, feed all the trees on the northern Shan Plateau, leaving land to plant eucalyptus trees. Then cut down some forests in southern Yunnan to produce eucalyptus trees in large quantities. It's just hundreds of billions of trees, right? As long as there are no more geological disasters in the southwest, it's worth it!!"

Now that the agreement was reached, Li Weizhou personally led Zhao Jiugu up the Shanbei Plateau, though he kept the speed under control.

In an unnamed valley, the Jianmu tree was planted.

The moment it was planted, all the plants and trees within a radius of a hundred miles withered.

The area that Jianmu can now influence is already wider than Li Weizhou's consciousness domain, and it has only recovered a few inches in height...

Li Weizhou could feel the joy of the Jianmu tree being buried, and he was infected by it and smiled too.

This sinister scene sent chills down Zhao Jiugu's spine.

This is no divine tree, it's clearly a demonic tree!

The people are pretty much the same...

Li Weizhou sensed the old man's unease and tension and comforted him, saying, "There is always a process to going from death to life. Don't worry, Old Zhao, it will be over in ten years at most. After ten years, the Jianmu tree will not only stop absorbing the life force of plants, but will also give back to the world, not only making the structure of this place stable, but also making the soil layer thicker and more fertile, and making it full of vitality."

Because in ten years, ordinary trees will probably be of little use to it, so it will need to work as a lumberjack in the spirit world to search for wood-attribute spiritual energy to feed the Jianmu.

When it grows into a towering tree, it will be able to connect to the celestial realm and absorb true celestial energy.

If we're talking about years, it would probably take around 100,000 years...

Of course, as it grows older, the Jianmu tree will be able to draw upon the spiritual energy of wood from the void to sustain its growth.

Li Weizhou cuts down spirit trees to feed him, which can accelerate his growth.

During this process, even if the Jianmu tree only releases a trace of spiritual energy, it is enough to make the place where it resides flourish with vitality.

However, Jianmu doesn't simply treat Li Weizhou like a beast of burden, because now Jianmu is him, and he is Jianmu.

During the process of feeding Jianmu, his wood-attribute spiritual root will continue to grow stronger, and his wood-type supernatural abilities will gradually become divine.

The Jianmu tree can not only absorb the impure spiritual energy of the mortal world to purify itself for its own use, but it can also provide it for Li Weizhou's use.

This was true in the mortal realm, and it was also true after he ascended to the spirit realm two years later.

Although the spiritual energy in the spirit realm is not as filthy as that in the mortal realm, it is still thin and mixed. Even though the spiritual energy on the spiritual veins is much denser, it is usually a chaotic mixture of the five elements. Cultivators need to carefully extract, refine, and absorb the spiritual energy they need, but it is much easier than in the mortal realm.

Jianmu can actively purify spiritual energy, although it can only extract wood spiritual energy and must share half of it... but its advantage lies in being in cultivation at all times.

As long as Li Weizhou chooses wood-attribute cultivation techniques as his main cultivation method, he can continuously advance without even lying down.

Although the cultivation speed cannot compare with those peerless geniuses, because Jianmu takes half of it, it is more relaxed and leisurely, isn't it?
As long as you don't rush for quick results and instead accumulate experience gradually, you will become stronger and stronger.

With the time freed up for cultivation, one can do other things, such as cultivating lightning-based techniques, metal-based techniques, or yin-yang-based techniques...

Damn it! This definitely won't do!

We still need to find a way. We definitely can't practice asceticism; it's completely against labor law.

Secondly, Jianmu also possesses a great supernatural power: all trees pay homage to it!

As the first divine tree in the world, regardless of which world it comes from, its level far surpasses that of countless other spiritual trees. Therefore, any wood-based cultivation technique will be greatly diminished when facing it.

Unless, of course, there is another person who can refine the root of the Jianmu tree into the Hidden God Palace.

But at least this broken world tree is no longer possible, because the inheritance of this world's building tree is all in these broken tree roots.

Even if others could find fragments of the Jianmu tree, they would only be "corpses"...

Li Weizhou, as the embodiment of Jianmu, also possesses this supernatural power.

From now on, any practitioner of wood-based techniques who opposes him will be at a disadvantage from the start!

The perfect nemesis!

Perhaps it was the joy and confidence on Li Weizhou's face that moved Zhao Jiugu. After the old man returned from a long phone call, he shook hands with Li Weizhou and said, "Mr. Li, we will definitely do our best. However, we have a few questions we would like to ask you."

Li Weizhou was generous and said, "Ask whatever you like."

Zhao Jiugu asked, "Is it absolutely necessary to transplant it? I think the divine tree can absorb all the vegetation within a certain range, so perhaps we don't need to replant it?"

Li Weizhou thought for a moment, then disappeared in a flash. He returned in an instant, carrying a large tree that had been uprooted, and threw it to the ground. The tree withered instantly.

Tsk, this actually works?
After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "Old Zhao is indeed clever; there's no need to transplant it."

This makes things much easier.

Zhao Jiugu twitched the corner of his mouth and asked again, "Is it absolutely necessary to have large trees? Saplings also have potential, is that feasible? If saplings are feasible, then the cultivation time can be shortened from two years to two months. We can also do both simultaneously, cultivating large trees on one hand and cultivating a massive number of saplings on the other, and we can also import them in large quantities."

Li Weizhou remained silent for a moment. It turned out that human wisdom really does vary...

This time, he didn't need to try; he knew the saplings would definitely work.

However, he tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Old Zhao, saplings certainly don't have as much vitality as mature trees. We still need to consider the specifics of what to do and how long to cultivate them."

Zhao Jiugu laughed and said, "Don't worry, we have specialized experts to conduct experiments, and we're sure we'll find the optimal solution. If the seedlings are suitable, then we can directly establish large-scale seedling bases in the Shanbei Plateau and southern Yunnan. If traditional soil cultivation techniques are sufficient, we'll use them. If soil cultivation techniques are not enough, we'll add hydroponics techniques as well."

This will significantly reduce transportation difficulties and costs, maximizing land use efficiency and time efficiency!

Mr. Li, we also eagerly await the day when there will be no more geological disasters in Southwest China.

Li Weizhou estimated that if they did it this way, the time could be reduced by more than half.

He really is wise; choosing to have a strong motherland as one's backer is much more useful than blindly making trouble on one's own.

He nodded and said, "Alright, I have full confidence in you anyway." He then pointed around and said, "Should I clear all the trees around here? We'll definitely need to build a road, and it'll be a bit troublesome for you to deal with these trees and roots. It'll be easier for me to do it."

He can still do some rough work very well.

Zhao Jiugu laughed and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you, Mr. Li. But it's enough to open a one-kilometer-wide section of road; there's no need to destroy everything."

Li Weizhou nodded in understanding and disappeared in an instant. Zhao Jiugu quickly stood on the high ground and saw a "desolate sea wave" about one kilometer wide appear in the lush forest, stretching into the border...

Fifteen minutes later, Li Weizhou appeared in an instant and exhaled softly.

Zhao Jiugu exclaimed with a smile, "Incredible! Mr. Li, you didn't even have the divine tree with you, how could you..."

Li Weizhou shook his head and said, "I am it, and it is me. It doesn't matter whether I bring it or not." In fact, inside the Hidden God Palace, there was a phantom of the Jianmu tree, along with phantoms of the Blood Eye, Stone Mirror, and Small Sword, surrounding the tattered Taiji diagram in the center.

Zhao Jiugu then asked, "Is it necessary to strengthen the protection?"

Li Weizhou thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Although mortals are difficult to harm, it would be best if we could avoid being disturbed."

In reality, if danger were to arise, Jianmu could return to his Hidden God Palace at any time. However, traveling back and forth would be troublesome, so it would be better to be protected.

Zhao Jiugu solemnly said, "We will send a team over to protect it to the highest standards."

Li Weizhou was satisfied; with this, all the shortcomings had been filled.

He felt that all his hard work today had not been in vain!
Before parting, Zhao Jiugu still offered a word of advice: "Mr. Li's actions in Japan and Alaska today were a bit too much. It's not that it's impossible, but perhaps a more moderate approach would be more effective."

Li Weizhou, willing to consult a wise man, said, "I would like to hear the details. For example..."

Zhao Jiugu laughed and said, "For example, you don't need to absorb so much in one place at once. It's too obvious and makes people lose face. They'll become more wary and fearful of you, which isn't a good thing. Mr. Li's vision for the future should be a united path looking towards the universe. Making people too fearful is actually detrimental to development. You can absorb a million hectares in Alaska, but you can do it in leaps and bounds, absorbing every other area. Since you're moving so fast, you can leave more room for animals to grow."

After Alaska absorbs the resources, the rest go to Texas and California, the states with the most forests in America. This way, there's a better balance among the states.

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "That makes sense, that makes sense. This time we were just in a hurry, but we'll definitely be more careful next time. I thought Old Zhao was going to advise me to prioritize peace."

Zhao Jiugu slowly shook his head and said, "Westerners think differently from us. They are more realistic and practical, and they consider issues from the perspective of strength and status. Now, you don't need to be so restrained in your strength. As long as you remain rational, I believe that one day they will be willing to unite around you and become your help in your journey to space. The universe is boundless, and resources are countless. Perhaps on that day, humanity will no longer kill each other for resources." Li Weizhou looked at the old man and said, "I thought that one day the Eastern Conference would be invincible, the only one to rule, and take revenge for all the past grudges. So you really want to unite the whole world?"

Zhao Jiugu laughed and said, "Seeking justice is another matter. But we will never think about annihilating or destroying anyone; there's no need. We just need to get back what we've lost. As you said, the universe is vast, and humanity is as insignificant as dust. If we can't work together to explore the universe, perhaps a random asteroid could destroy all of human civilization. Before Mr. Li, we weren't qualified to think about these issues. But now, things are different."

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "Hearing you say that makes me feel a lot of pressure. Actually, I was just bragging."

Zhao Jiugu laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Li, there's no need to belittle yourself. We all have high hopes for you and are willing to be your most reliable support!"

After thanking him with a smile, Li Weizhou escorted Old Man Zhao back to China, then returned to Yangon Port and went back inside...

Although his vision was passionate, he was also clear-headed; the day when humanity would be united, eliminating internal strife and jointly developing the universe was still a long way off.

Unless the University of Tokyo takes a significant lead in space exploration and reaps substantial and tangible benefits, those people won't bother with it...

For Li Weizhou, as long as Dongda University is willing to cooperate for now, that's enough; we can deal with the future later.

……

Shenjing City, Jude Ward.

In front of the gate of the Duke of Huguo's mansion.

"In case of emergency, go to the General's Mansion for help immediately."

Before leaving, Li Weizhou gave Li Chang'an some final instructions.

Li Chang'an said disdainfully, "Just go on your way. Stop nagging. You're the only one who cares about Xi Mei. We're not stupid. This is the capital city, right under the emperor's nose. The Grand Marshal is watching us. We're safe here."

Xi Mei stood beside Cao Shi, giggling, and reassured Li Weizhou, "Brother, don't worry."

Li Weizhou nodded, mounted his horse, and said, "Let's go and come back quickly."

Situ Qingyue returned to the Imperial Punishment Department to see the Grand Master of Justice and made some preparations. Qi Erniang also finally emerged from seclusion.

After leaping over the dragon gate, a person's entire demeanor changes drastically.

After exchanging a few more words with Li Delong, Li Weizhou and his group rode off towards the south gate.

Xi Mei stood at the door, watching her brother and sister-in-law walk away. She blinked, pursed her lips and forced a smile, but tears still fell.

……

An hour later, the group left their horses at an Imperial Punishment Office post station and then followed Li Weizhou on a rapid journey eastward along the Yangtze River.

Half an hour later, the sky was as dark as ink. Li Weizhou led the four women to a deserted ancient ferry crossing by the river, where they stopped and then hailed a boat...

Even though they had already been through the ordeal of riding in iron carriages, the four women, especially Qi Erniang, stared wide-eyed at what they saw before them, as if witnessing a divine miracle.

A river breeze carrying water vapor rushed towards them. Following Li Weizhou's gaze, the four women saw a pure white boat quietly moored in the middle of the dark river.
The hull was so smooth that not a single grain of wood could be seen; both the bow and stern were rounded and without any sharp edges. There were neither masts nor sails on the ship; several translucent glass windows were set in the sides, framed by thin, silvery strips...

The boat was about a person's height above the water, and its edge was surrounded by a railing that gleamed with a cold light, which was definitely not made of copper or iron.

The most remarkable thing is the fine silver lines on the hull, which meander and flow along the curves, appearing and disappearing under the starlight, like the veins of a living thing.

"This... is a raft?"

Qi Erniang's voice was somewhat distorted as she whispered, her fingertips gripping her sleeves tightly.

A floating raft is a mythical vessel that sails on the Milky Way.

Zhou Yueniang and Feng Biwu also pursed their lips, their eyes sparkling as they looked at the white boat in front of them.

Though unspoken, the meaning was clear: I like it!

They had grown up seeing ebony boats with blue cloth sails, but had never seen such a beautiful boat before.

There were no oars or sails, yet it floated steadily on the water. Even the sound of the waves lapping against the hull was several times softer than that of ordinary boats, as if it were not made of ordinary wood, but rather as if it were cast from the clouds in the sky.

If this is not a miracle, then what is?
However, not a single trace of spiritual energy could be detected.

Pure mechanical arts have achieved this level of skill...

While the four women were still in a daze, Li Weizhou had already stepped onto a narrow plank laid out on the shore. The plank was actually gleaming with a silvery-white luster, and it didn't budge when he stepped on it.

Without anyone knowing how he did it, suddenly, several warm yellow halos appeared on the side of the boat. They weren't the flickering dim yellow of lanterns, but rather a steady glow coming from the windows, illuminating the surrounding river surface in a hazy way.

Situ Qingyue glanced at the distance with her slightly upturned eyes, but ignored it.

"This boat... needs neither wind nor oars?"

Li Weizhou led Zhou Yueniang and her group onto the boat one by one. After Qi Erniang boarded the boat, her voice trembled as she asked, feeling as if all the knowledge she had gained over the past twenty years had been shattered into dust at this moment.

Li Weizhou said cheerfully, "You'll find out in a moment."

The four women stepped onto the stern of the ship through narrow planks that gleamed with a cold light. Before them was a spacious area where a huge "soft couch" was placed steadily. The "soft couch" was made of soft and lustrous material, warm to the touch, and completely different from ordinary fabrics. It seemed to be made of some kind of exotic animal hide, yet without a single texture.

The three people who had ridden in the car knew this was called a sofa, but Qi Erniang did not.

A low table sits in the center of the sofa, its surface as smooth as a mirror, as if carved from a single piece of glass. When gently tapped, it produces a crisp, melodious sound, quite different from the wood and stone textures they are familiar with.

Moving forward along the sofa area, a series of transparent portholes are lined up, clearly reflecting the illuminated river and sky outside, as if bringing the world into this small cabin.

The floor is made of a hard yet warm material, and walking on it is silent, a stark contrast to the noise inside a traditional ship's cabin.

Li Weizhou chuckled and lightly pressed a silver pattern on the side, and a door silently slid open on the hull.

Behind the door was not the dimly lit cabin as expected, but a space as bright as day – countless tiny points of light hung from the ceiling, like the Milky Way crumbled and spread on the ceiling, illuminating the four walls with a bright white and translucent glow, and even the soft felt underfoot shimmered with a warm light.

The four women entered and found that the cabin had no beams or pillars, yet it was as stable as the ground.

The surrounding area has transparent windows and tables, offering views of the river outside...

"Is this... the Dragon Palace?"

Qi Erniang became increasingly dizzy. Just as her fingertips touched a protrusion on the wall, a warm breeze suddenly blew out, startling her. She then discovered that the warm breeze carried a faint, unusual fragrance, unlike incense, but rather like spring blossoms being blended into the wind.

Everyone laughed silently, though they were all somewhat intoxicated by the moment.

Feng Biwu's gaze swept over the light spot above her head. The light was not like the flickering candlelight, but as even as daytime, yet it was not dazzling. She reached out to touch it, and sure enough, it was like the lamp in the iron carriage, without any heat.

The boat suddenly rocked slightly, but no one was rowing. The four women instinctively grabbed onto the objects beside them and discovered that the seemingly flimsy sofas and low couches were actually as stable as rocks.

Zhou Yueniang pushed open another door, only to find a huge bed inside...

A river breeze suddenly rose outside the cabin, but inside it was so quiet that they could hear each other breathing. The unfamiliar objects, the incredible light, and the readily available warm air and fresh water made the four women feel as if they had stepped into another world.

At this moment, they were all absolutely convinced that there was a celestial realm in this world.

Even though none of these exhibited the slightest spiritual energy, they shouldn't be considered secret mechanisms or techniques from the mortal realm.

The cabins of ordinary ships are cramped spaces built of wood and stone, but here, it is like a dream world built with moonlight, flowing water and stars, every inch of which subverts their lifelong understanding.

Li Weizhou smiled smugly and said, "You like them all, right?"

All four looked over, smiling broadly.

Li Weizhou opened the small refrigerator, took out red wine and glasses, and said, "You guys rest for a while, I'll go up and start the boat. Anyone who wants to learn how to drive a boat can come up and have some fun. There's also a sofa area on the deck, you can drink and go for a drive there."

The whole family were martial arts masters, and were already immune to both heat and cold. Besides, it was already April, and the late spring cold had passed.

Situ Qingyue said, "Then let's go upstairs and have a seat."

With that, he picked up the bottle and left.

Li Weizhou asked Zhou Yueniang, "Have you ever sailed a boat before when you traveled the world?"

Zhou Yueniang went to get the cup, but Qi Erniang snatched it away, saying, "Madam, hurry up, I'll get it!"

Zhou Yueniang glanced at her with a smile, then went up with Li Weizhou first, saying, "No." She paused and added, "Even if you've sailed a boat before, you've definitely never sailed one like this. Husband, don't you need oars?"

Li Weizhou said cheerfully, "No need, we'll rely entirely on the waves. If we used oars, how many lifetimes would it take to reach Linzhou? Come on, watch me."

The group went up to the deck and followed Li Weizhou toward the bridge.

Li Weizhou inserted the key, turned on the power, and pressed the switch.

The instruments on the table suddenly lit up, and the red and green dots instantly became bright, like stars falling into an inkwell.

Then he raised his hand and grasped a black round handle, which looked like the shaft of a carriage but was smaller. With a gentle turn, a low hum came from inside the cabin, unlike the creaking of a wooden boat's oars, but more like the breathing of a giant beast awakening.

The group looked down and noticed a slight tremor coming from beneath their feet on the boat planks. The sound was both strange and reassuring.

However, even though they had already opened the door to the secrets of spiritual energy, they still couldn't see any unusual activity from the spirit.

Looking up again, I saw Li Weizhou placing his hand on a long, gleaming silver pole. The pole could be pushed back and forth, and a piece of transparent glass was embedded at the top. Li Weizhou smiled and said, "This is how I steer the ship."

As he spoke, he tilted his wrist slightly and slowly pushed the long pole forward. Suddenly, the boat moved steadily, not swaying from the current, but as if being lifted and glided forward by an invisible hand!

"Pushing to the left means approaching the shore, pushing to the right means leaving the shore, and pushing forward means going straight. You don't need to look at the wind direction or shout any commands; it will follow your will."

The four women watched intently as Li Weizhou operated the device; it was surprisingly simple.

After sailing for a while, everyone held onto the edge of the bridge and looked through the huge glass porthole in front. They could see the vegetation on both banks slowly receding in the darkness. Looking back, the river water was cut by the stern, leaving a snow-white water mark. This behemoth was completely silent, and even the turbulence was extremely slight.

Feng Biwu couldn't help but reach out and touch the lever, only to find it cold and hard. Looking at the fluctuating instruments, he suddenly realized: this was not a boat at all, but the magical power of a floating raft!
Because they were going downstream, Li Weizhou drove the yacht to its maximum speed, exceeding 32 knots and reaching 60 kilometers per hour.

When riding a BMW for a short sprint, that's about the same speed.

Li Weizhou had learned to drive a boat during his training, so he could easily operate this kind of yacht. He smiled at Situ Qingyue and said, "Go down the river and straight into the sea. Then travel along the coast, and we'll reach Linzhou by the evening of the day after tomorrow at the latest. Lord Situ, why don't we take them by surprise by attacking from the sea?"

Situ Qingyue glanced at him sideways, laughing with a carefree and unrestrained air.

She didn't tie up her black hair today; her long hair danced in the whistling river wind.

Beneath her delicate, arched eyebrows, her eyes were dark and serene, and her skin was as white as snow, like crystal formed from moonlight.

Not to mention Master Li, even Qi Erniang was stunned...

It wasn't until Situ Qingyue turned to look at her that she snapped out of her daze and stammered with an apologetic smile, "Your Excellency is truly like a goddess from a celestial palace..."

Situ Qingyue gazed at her for a moment, then said to Zhou Yueniang, who was smiling slightly, "No wonder he can't forget her."

Zhou Yueniang glanced at Qi Erniang and smiled, "Sister Erniang, your heart is as kind as crystal. You've been struggling alone outside for so many years. Meeting your husband is a blessing."

Situ Qingyue nodded and said to Zhou Yueniang, "Keep an eye on the boat. I'm going to ask him to go in and talk to me about something."

Zhou Yueniang nodded and asked Li Weizhou, "As long as we keep moving forward, that's fine, right?"

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "Yes, it's even simpler than driving a horse-drawn carriage."

He then beckoned to Feng Biwu and Qi Erniang, saying, "Sit down, open the wine and drink, it's so much fun."

Feng Biwu said, "There are still boats sailing along the river. What if someone sees this?"

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "Then they are lucky. Not only did they encounter the immortals, but they also saw the fairy of the moon palace."

Qi Erniang laughed heartily, and even Feng Biwu couldn't help but chuckle softly...

Look up at the moon in the sky; it is so bright and beautiful.
