21 Spiritual Warship
The weaponry! The most exciting part of making a warship was the weaponry. Slowly, Chen Hua finished the weapons systems.
He loaded the main generators, 3 in total, with 1 above the deck and the other two below on the two ends of the ship. Installing the sub-weapons along the sides and the main weapons, he stood back after several hours and admired his work. Suddenly, an odd thought popped into his mind.
「Should I take it for a spin?... Wait, I forgot to add in the propulsion systems, It would just be a showy hard to destroy turret without them.」
Racking his brains, he thought about what would be the most effective solution... wind, fans, explosive force, spiritual methods, magnetism, spatial compression... oars, people, flying animals... wait, why not use all of them except those desperate ones... Scratch that, magnetism is too unstable.
If we were to use arrays that had gusts of wind to stabilise the ship, an emergency backup fan, explosive force engines could be used as a turbo boost, and we can use the spiritual methods as the main form of movement along with the spatial compression for quick escapes...
By the time he was done designing the wacky propulsion system, it was morning as Chen Hua, under the gazes of many loitering Disciples, ran over, sat in the middle of the warship's deck, and began forming the desired components.
---
After many hours of fiddling about with the theoretical spatial compression engine, he constantly failed so he just ditched it and decided to come back to it later. Remodelling part of the ship, he installed the new propulsion systems and added in even more defences. As he was about to call it a day and jump off the ship to go to bed for the first time in a little while a notification sounded:
Ding! Black gold level artefact created, create an artefact spirit? [Y/N]
「What is an artefact spirit?」
An artefact spirit is the spirit of an artefact.
「...」
The artefact spirit can choose the owner of the artefact (oftentimes the creator). It can also exert some control over the artefact, rather than fully controlling the artefact yourself, the spirit can take on part of that role as well.
「Yes, of course, create the spirit!... Wait, will there be any lightning or phenomena?」
Ding! There will be a minor tribulation, please stand back and watch.
「Why Didn't you tell me before! Wait, stop creating the spirit! This is in the middle of the sect!」
Already in progress, unable to stop. Don't worry, there are at least 5 Nascent soul realm experts currently in the sect now, nothing will get damaged.
Just as the system was explaining what was happening massive thunder clouds gathered and spread out covering the sky in a dark blanket. with loud rumbling sounds, 3 lightning bolts formed writhing about in the sky like snakes.
Alerted, the 5 peak masters flew up to observe the phenomena while the librarian just looked up and smiled before continuing to read his book.
boom! -- The first strike. As soon as the first bolt of lightning struck, the shields on when warship flickered as a glow suddenly erupted from within.
Boom!! -- The second strike Upon landing, the shields flickered once more but this time they were cracked by the massive amount of power contained within the lightning. By this time the glow had solidified in the main control room of the ship
BOOM!!! -- The Tribulation released its third strike. This time the weapons pointed into the air and fired off a volley at the oncoming lightning bolt. Flashing with their greatest intensity yet, the shields of the large warship flickered as they began to emit crackling sounds as the strength of the lightning coursed throughout the ship the shields flickered even further as the light in the main control room suddenly emitted strange symbols covering the entire ship in a deep purple glow before pulsing In a golden colour and disappearing.
The birth of a weapon spirit! The elders and peak masters were shocked while everyone else was surprised.
「Do the heavens hate such grand technology? Why would it get struck by lightning?」
「What's going on!? How could there be lightning, it is... well was completely clear without a hint of a storm!」
「If I remember properly, there wan an entry in an old book I read saying that this was a heavenly tribulation!」
「What's that?」
「I don't know when someone gets struck by abnormally powerful lightning 3 or 9 times consecutively?」
As the disciples of the sect were quietly conversing amongst themselves and the experts sending their transmissions to each other, no one noticed a small shadow flashing out and landing the palm of their young sect master.
「Master, please name me.」
「You are the artefact spirit?」
「Yes Master.」
「Are you a boy or a girl?」
「Either, it is up to master.」
「Then you can decide which one you want to be.」
「Is there a difference?」
「Well... It all depends, you see, for us humans, it can be really complex. Some woman are nasty and corrupted, vile to the extreme and scheming while some men can be like that as well, although, generally less scheming. You should not grow up like that. But, it is equally important that you don't grow up ignorant to the world completely innocent and unknowing of what lies within a person's heart... and you also want to make sure that...」
After intently listening to Chen Hua's excessively long rant on human nature using a large variety of analogies and wired mythology, the artefact decided on what it wanted to look like.
With a brief glow, the artefact spirit transformed into...
A fox. A darn 9 tailed fox. Nothing against the fox spirits, but... Why does it have to be something from something that he had just said without thinking, I mean, fox spirits... Where did he even come up with such a thing? Granny Meng? Who was she!? Feeling a sudden headache come upon him he decided to just stop thinking about it.
「Master, I have decided, please name me.」
「How about Jiang Ying Yu, or xiao you for short?」
「Wow!~~ Pretty, I love it!」
「Okay, you can control the ship, right?」
「Yep! But, I can't control it without something.」
「Do you mean this?」Holding up the key he had made for the warship, Xiao Yu looked at it an thought it looked familiar...
「Yes, master, that is the thing that is missing. Nothing is connected to the generators other than the shields and part of the levitation systems without that, it goes in the slot of the highest panel in the main control room.」
「Yes, I designed the ship this way so that bad people couldn't steal it.」
「Don't worry master, with me, Xiao Yu around, no one will be able to steal it!」
「You can only activate the various internal defences. There are barely any offensive things in the interior of the ship, although you can control the levitation and propulsion systems of the ship, it will be very hard if there are a lot of them.」
「Why not add offensive weapons to the interior?」
「Because normally people would be inside of the ship and it would get too chaotic of an enemy were to get into the interior so I only put defensive ones.」
「Then Xiao Yu has a solution! If we give everyone a plate, then we can easily identify who is friendly or not!」
「But what if a bad person steals a plate?」
「Erm...」

「You sound like a merchant.」

「You win... I'll buy it, but, are there any discounts at the shop?」

Ding! 4 transactions remaining.
Taking the spiritual imprinting technique out and using it, he instantly used a few mastery points to get it into max level.
Ding! Random chanting level is at 4. 12 hours until forced activation.
With the last update form, the system Chen Hua panicked. because the spiritual Imprinting technique was at the maximum level, he imprinted every one I the sect, have the tracking method he had set up to Xiao Yu, and rushed out saying that he had run into a slight emergency and that Xiao Yu would be able to find him should they need him
---
With a bunch forming, he looked into his mental space, the librarian searched throughout it before stumbling upon a tiny minuscule strand of energy. Surprised that something could bypass his mental defences so easily, making no disturbance at all, he looked further into it but sensed a familiar aura that completely shocked him.
The young sect master who was only at the Qi gathering stage could penetrate his, an old master In the realm of mental abilities', defences without a sound. mysterious, completely and utterly mysterious!
Sensing the general type of technique it was he realised that it was probably just the young sect master marking everyone from the sect.
---
「Xiao Yu? Does anyone know her?」
「I am Xiao Yu!」
「... The artefact spirit?」
「Yes, I am Xiao Yu, my master had to go out but said that he will be back soon. he is currently heading towards the city.」
「Why didn't he just take the teleportation array?」
「Oh... He seems to have stopped in the kiddle of the forest.」

Upon activating the random chanting skill to avoid the monthly forced activation, he quickly his behind a rock.
Ding! random chanting completed. Result: Confetti. (glitter)
「Cr*p! glitter confetti! Run! I must run, otherwise, I'll be finding glitter in my hair for the next 10,000 years!」
Ding! Random chanting is done, Result: A Pitch's Parade.
A peaceful pitch will parade its undead army through the area, if he sees you, he will happily 'invite' you to the parade! (You will be returned to normal after it ends).
Running as fast as he could, Chen Hua returned to the sect. The Peak masters were looking on at the strange happenings in the forest when they noticed their young sect master fleeing faster than if his life depended on it.
After that, they saw an army of undead covered I glitter, march through the area tossing batons, twirling flags, and dancing to eerie music.
The spectral lasted for an hour before the undead army parading through the forest sank into the ground leaving the glitter behind.
Too intrigued by his young sect master's mysteriousness, the librarian did something that he would later regret. He flashed and disappeared at the scene of the incident and poked a small pile of glitter. Grumpily returning to the sect, as a glittering librarian, he could not enter the library as glitter would cover the books.
Observing the sect through his spiritual sense he sensed a new notice in the main notification board.
Warning, do not enter the forest area heading towards the city, use the teleportation array. Otherwise please wait outside the sect and have someone come to me (Chen Hua) for some glitter removal fluid. (50 mid-grade spirit stones)
