Chapter 393: Back to the Pits of Strength
They had a variety of options for flying across the Western Wilds, some of them more respectable than others. The absolute fastest would have been for Kai to use Thunderbird's Wings and carry Zae Zin Nim in his arms... he almost thought he could convince her to do it, but she didn't want to be seen in an undignified position. Using flying swords was another clear option, either a pair or together on the same one, which had some of the same issues.
Instead they used the Pureflower vessel, which was somewhat slower but made it easy to talk and prepare. Ships like this were common but considered slightly inferior: they were for non-cultivators, sect members who couldn't fly on their own, or carrying supplies. That meant their vessel didn't attract any particular attention.
With the ship flying on its set path, they were free to sit in the cabin and cultivate. They'd talked for the first leg of the trip until they needed to take a break to train. He was surprised to note that Zae Zin Nim guzzled qi pills almost as fast as he did, since she was still trying to ascend the massive hill to Sky Soul. His own cultivation was just taking his Body Refinement stage to the very edge, according to the new principles she'd taught him.
Now, however, he was done, and he thought Zae Zin Nim had almost finished her cultivation as well. He found himself staring, just drinking in the sight of her, and shook himself out of it to look at her soul instead.
