12 Leaving

It was not until the large floating shuttle stopped in front of Zhou Ji that Zhang Hao, who was in the distance, rode the Gale Spell and arrived nearby. This spell was given to Zhang Hao by Zhou Ji last night. As a civil servant in a small city, they would never encounter any battles in their lifetime. Now, Zhang Hao was running errands in shops as a small officer, so Zhou Ji made this for him. In the future, if he encountered any danger, he could just run. 

[Gale spell] 

[Assisted running, greatly reducing stamina consumption. Running speed increased by 200%, jumping ability increased by 100%.] 

[(Green) running speed increased by 150%.] 

[(Green) spiritual essence consumption decreased by 15% 

[(White) downwind running speed increased by 123%, downwind running spiritual essence consumption decreased by 11%.] 

This was an intermediate spell, and for this, Zhou Ji obtained eight magical points. 

"Hao, you go and do your work. Didn't you say yesterday that you didn't need to send me off?" 

Zhou Ji waved his hand from afar and sent a message through the jade token. Today should still be work time. He reckoned that Zhang Hao was taking the opportunity to send him off when he came out from work to deliver the cultivation technique. 

Zhang Hao also stopped outside the crowd. He looked at Zhou Ji and replied, "Take good care of yourself, take good care of your daughter. Bon voyage!" 

Zhou Ji grinned and did not look at him anymore. He turned around and got into the car. 

The seats for him and his daughter were on the second floor. They were specially reserved for sleeping. It was said that the sleeping seat was a bench. One could lie on it and sleep on it. It would be more comfortable for a long journey. 

He first placed the cage containing Little White on a platform at the side. After seeing the platform fall down in Little White's panic, Zhou Ji carried his daughter and got into the car. 

Taking a step forward, Zhou Ji felt his breathing stop for a moment, and his vision became clear. 

F*ck! The concentration of spiritual essence is really dense! 

Zhou Ji's first reaction was to feel the concentration of spiritual essence. He was surprised to find that the concentration of spiritual essence in this place was actually half of the concentration of his element gathering spell formation. 

Taking another look, Zhou Ji almost thought that he had arrived at the soft sleeper carriage of the train in his previous life. Looking around, he saw rows and rows of cubicles. With the support of the spatial array, he couldn't see the end of the rows of cubicles. 

Walking along the corridor, Zhou Ji finally found the cubicle on his ticket. He glanced at the empty cubicles on the way and found that most of them were single rooms. The cubicles where he and his daughter had two tickets were connected, and the space inside was much larger than the single cubicle. The two single beds were placed on both sides, and there was a small round table in the middle. 

"Xiao Rui, sit here obediently first. I will tidy up." 

Zhou Ji said as he placed his daughter on the bed at the side. At the same time, he took off his backpack and stuffed it under the bed. This familiar operation made him feel as if he had returned to his previous life. 

"Daddy, where is this place?" 

Every time she went to an unfamiliar place, Xiao Rui would feel a little nervous. She held the bedsheet with one hand and sat on the spot obediently, not daring to move at all. 

"We are already on the floating shuttle. Feel it. This is a single bed. You will sleep here tonight, okay?" 

After packing up, Zhou Ji took out a water cup and cast a spell to draw a ball of clear water into the cup and placed it on the table. 

"Is it a floating shuttle? Daddy, what does a floating shuttle look like?" 

Xiao Rui still didn't dare to move but hearing Zhou Ji's voice made her feel a lot more at ease. 

"A floating shuttle, it's..." Zhou Ji thought for a while and took out an apple from his backpack. After washing it in the old way, he cast a shapeshifting spell and slowly turned the apple into a miniature floating shuttle. "Come, Xiao Rui, this is what a floating shuttle looks like. The big ones are as tall as a room, and the small ones are as tall as a bed. They float on the ground and can carry people to many places." 

Xiao Rui took the model and carefully fumbled around, then put it down after a long time. The little girl could not see with her eyes since she was young. The furthest place she had been to was the location of the nearest spiritual lamp from the door of her home. This year, she had become more and more curious about her surroundings, so Zhou Ji thought of a way to let her come into contact with this world. 

After putting the things away, Zhou Ji held Xiao Rui in his arms again and sat on the headboard of the bed, leaning against the wall of the carriage. There was a square window on the wall of the carriage, through which one could see the scenery outside. However, the advertisements of "Wanfang Trading Company" that floated past the window from time to time were like bullet screens, causing people to be speechless. The large-scale floating shuttle business in the city was handled by Wanfang Trading Company. 

At this moment, the scenery outside had already moved. It was obvious that the floating shuttle had already been activated. The space inside the floating shuttle was very stable. There was no feeling at all. It was just like when they were in a room. 

"Xiao Rui, we're leaving." Zhou Ji sighed softly. 

"Then will we come back?" 

"We should come back..." 

Zhou Ji was also slightly melancholic. He was leaving this city that he had lived in for more than twenty years and heading to an unknown place... 

Outside the city, there were fields, crops, and farms. Most of the food in the city was provided by these farms. The big families in the inner city bought the land and hired farmers to farm it for them. 

After the shuttle sped up, the scenery outside the window was so fast that it was almost blurry, and nothing could be seen clearly. Only when it was close to noon and evening did the shuttle gradually slow down. At noon and evening, when it was time to eat, the Shuttle would stop at a rest stop for people to get off and rest. The more luxurious ones would eat at the rest stop. Along the way, there would be people getting on and off the shuttle from the rest stop. This was also considered a small platform to provide convenience for the residents near the rest stop. 

As there was no need for a driver, the shuttle would travel at night. The next morning, it arrived at City No. 10 of Earth Grade B. After a wave of guests got on and off the shuttle, the shuttle would set off again. 

The carriage was well isolated from the surrounding environment, and the air was not stuffy. Zhou Ji and his daughter would not get off unless it was necessary. Apples, jerky, and biscuits were the three meals that Zhou Ji had prepared for the past few days. Of course, his daughter also had a cup of milk for morning, noon, and evening. 

"...Xiao Rui, do you understand?" 

In the cubicle, Zhou Ji closed the book and asked his daughter in a low voice. 

Xiao Rui did not reply to him. She sat cross-legged on the bed, clearly in a meditative state. 

Meditating and sensing spiritual essence was a necessary stage before Qi refinement. When one sensed the existence of spiritual essence and absorbed it into one's soul through the essence absorption technique, it meant the beginning of Qi refinement. 

This essence absorption technique was specially written for his daughter. The three green entries were quite good overall. After writing the technique, the editor approved it and he obtained 7 points. 

Seeing that his daughter was meditating, Zhou Ji did not disturb her anymore. He sat on the bed and slowly closed his eyes. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity where the points had increased by 10 points to raise the lightning technique he had mastered to the intermediate level. 

[Lightning Attracting Technique ] 

[Release lightning attack, damage increased by 200%, causing paralysis.] 

[(Blue) damage increased by 200%.] 

[(Blue) paralysis effect increased.] 

[(Blue) block vitality recovery, block body recovery.]
