Fu Lingfeng gives Li Yunjing the "Celestial Patrol Ship" and its seventy-two functional tokens. After demonstrating its capabilities, including stealth and rapid travel, Fu Lingfeng departs. Li Yunjing then takes the ship to the "Red Sun Market" to check on Zhao Qi and discuss future plans before landing above the "Star Moon Trading Company No.1 Store."

The new shopkeeper of the "Star Moon Trading Company," Zhao Fang, saw from afar, and the account book in his hand "thud" fell to the ground. Taking two steps in one, he rushed forward, "Owner..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yunjing waved his hand, and from the "Storage Ring," a mound of talismans, elixirs, and spiritual artifacts poured out, piling up into a small mountain in the hall.

"Check this batch of goods and put them into storage!"

Li Yunjing instructed.

"Yes! Owner!"

Zhao Fang rubbed his eyes hard, quickly responded, and began to count the treasures with a group of workers, full of joy.

While they were speaking, a white-clad shadow dashed through the wind.

The red jade hairpin in Zhao Qi’s hair gleamed softly as she stared wide-eyed at the "Celestial Patrol Ship" outside the door, "Husband, where did you get such a treasure?"

To be honest, this scene truly shocked Zhao Qi.

This doesn’t seem to be the "Shenxiao Battleship" she had once boarded?

"Come! Let me show you around!"

Li Yunjing smiled and grasped Zhao Qi’s jade-like hand. With a slight movement, the two of them soared up and floated towards the outside sky.

Li Yunjing brought Zhao Qi into the ship and began to take his woman on a tour of his vehicle.

"This is the central hub! Give it a try!"

When Zhao Qi stepped into the "command center," looking at the floating Circulation Star-Gazing Mirror and seventy-two tokens, Li Yunjing laughed and said.

"Is this your battleship?"

Zhao Qi’s breathing became rapid.

"Good eyesight. This battleship is called the ’Celestial Patrol Ship,’ it’s a top-tier, tier three battleship, even a peak Golden Core Realm cultivator can do nothing against it!"

Li Yunjing handed her a token engraved with the "Communication" rune, "I came this time for missing you, delivering goods, and to discuss matters of the Land of the Far North with you."

He raised his hand to activate the crystal ball, and the scene of the entire "Red Sun Market" and the distant "Red Sun Valley" flowed within it, "If we want everything to be foolproof, we definitely need to prepare well."

Zhao Qi caressed the token, a glint of determination flashing in her eyes, "The Land of the Far North, we must go!"

But before she finished speaking, she suddenly moved close to Li Yunjing, her warm breath brushing over his ear, "How about lending me this ’Celestial Patrol Ship’ for a spin?"

"Naturally, if my wife wishes to, she can."

Li Yunjing, seeing the gleam of excitement in Zhao Qi’s eyes, couldn’t help but smile, "However, this ’Celestial Patrol Ship’ is incredibly powerful—in the wrong hands, it could cause trouble."

He gently pinched Zhao Qi’s nose, his tone full of affection.

"I am, after all, a Golden Core Realm cultivator, and I’ve run this market for many years—how could I easily make a mistake?"

Zhao Qi huffed, playfully raising her chin.

Saying this, she eagerly took the main control jade scroll and began to study it carefully.

Li Yunjing stood by, patiently explaining the functions and usage methods of various tokens to her.

Zhao Qi, extraordinarily intelligent, quickly grasped the essentials.

A flash of light gleamed in her eyes as spiritual power was infused into the jade scroll, controlling the "Celestial Patrol Ship" to slowly rise.

As the "Celestial Patrol Ship" ascended, the cultivators below in the market again erupted in exclamations of surprise.

By this time, the disciples of "Shenxiao Dao Sect" within the market also realized it was Li Yunjing, the sect’s true inheritor, who had arrived.

All their worries instantly disappeared.

The crowd returned to their activities!

A smug smile tugged at Zhao Qi’s lips as she piloted the "Celestial Patrol Ship" through a series of intricate aerial maneuvers, sometimes spiraling, sometimes diving, her speed dazzling to behold.

"Amazing!"

Li Yunjing couldn’t help but exclaim, his eyes filled with admiration for Zhao Qi.

Last time, during the East Sea venture, this woman showed great interest in piloting the "Shenxiao Battleship."

Now it seemed Zhao Qi truly loved battleships!

Looks like I need to find an opportunity to gift Zhao Qi her own vehicle!

As for the "Celestial Patrol Ship"?

Li Yunjing couldn’t afford to give it away.

Nor could he give away the "Cyan Cloud Ship" in his hands.

That’s Yunyi’s!

This time, Zhao Qi had a blast!

From morning till evening, piloting the "Celestial Patrol Ship" across fifty thousand miles, until she was finally satisfied.

"It’s getting late; we should head back!"

Li Yunjing glanced at the sky and said, "And we can spend some quality time together!"

Zhao Qi nodded, maneuvering the "Celestial Patrol Ship" back, once again hovering above the "Star Moon Trading Company."

Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi walked hand in hand down the ship, entered the trading company, and began to seriously discuss the plan to venture into the Land of the Far North...

The backyard of the "Star Moon Trading Company."

Li Yunjing provided some ingredients allowing Zhao Qi to make some meals and snacks.

The two sat in the gazebo in the courtyard, enjoying the flowers and plants, eating delicious food, and talking about what had happened in each other’s lives over the past few years since they parted.

Zhao Qi scooped up a spoonful of osmanthus lotus root starch with a silver spoon, the amber-colored soup shimmering gently under the moonlight.

"Since you left, the ’Star Moon Trading Company’ has secured its position in the Red Sun Market, becoming the number one commerce association within three thousand miles!"

"Last month, we just took over the Lu family’s herb house in ’Chan City,’ and now our herb business accounts for thirty percent of the market’s share."

She tapped the white jade bowl with her fingertip, "But the most troublesome issue is still with the people of ’Ten Thousand Treasures Workshop’."

"Are they causing trouble again?"

Li Yunjing paused as he picked up a chopstick of jade green shrimp, calmly asking.

"Of course."

Zhao Qi pushed the lotus root starch toward him, a touch of anger on her face, "They rely on years of development in their commerce association, strong financial backing, and forcibly acquire spiritual mines."

She suddenly leaned in close, the scent of laurel mixed with the warmth of the food wafting over, "I heard they are trying to woo some raw material suppliers, aiming to cut off our material sources."
