Wang Ruoxie had five hundred thousand silver notes on him, but that didn't mean he was willing to be extorted.

If everyone had to pay a city entry fee, even if it was a thousand or ten thousand silver notes, he would pay it.

However, these city guard soldiers clearly saw that he was dressed well and wanted to extort some silver from him.

"Unless you pay, you can forget about entering the city."

The middle-aged soldier sneered and said.

"You can't stop me."

Wang Ruoxie snorted coldly, then spurred his horse and charged into the city.

"Courting death."

Seeing this, the middle-aged soldier's face darkened, and he shouted angrily, his body trembling as he tried to stop him.

However, at this moment, Wang Ruoxie threw a punch, carrying a terrifying force that landed directly on the middle-aged soldier, sending him flying back in an instant.

The middle-aged man stumbled to his feet, his gaze filled with shock as he tightly watched the figure of Wang Ruoxie galloping away.

Those ordinary soldiers were completely stunned, their mouths dry and needing to swallow hard.

With just one punch, he defeated their captain. What immense power.

The crowd watching the commotion around them were all showing expressions of shock.

Even in Southern Prefecture City, martial cultivators at the Fourth Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm weren't abundant, and this youth of about sixteen already possessed such cultivation. Moreover, to defeat a Guard Captain at the Fifth Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm with a single punch showed he must be a genius from some major power.

...

After asking for directions from a passerby, Wang Ruoxie arrived at the docking area of the Flying Warships.

Before him, beside a giant high platform, were several warships dozens of meters long, suspended in midair.

Wang Ruoxie didn't hesitate, dismounted, and walked up to the platform.

Beneath each flying warship, there was a corresponding counter.

In front of those counters, quite a few people were queuing.

"Black Iron Warship: one thousand silver, twenty days to the Royal City, low-level security."

"Bronze Warship: five thousand silver, fifteen days to the Royal City, middle-level security."

"Purple Gold Warship: ten thousand silver, ten days to the Royal City, high-level security."

Each counter had a sign stating the fare for each flying warship, the time required to reach the Royal City, and the safety level.

Wang Ruoxie went directly to the counter under the Purple Gold Warship, standing at the back of the line.

Although taking the Purple Gold Warship required ten thousand silver, the speed was extremely fast, needing only ten days to reach the Royal City, and the safety was high.

Moments later, Wang Ruoxie finally reached the counter.

"Apologies, the cabin is fully booked."

The lady at the counter said to Wang Ruoxie.

"Fully booked?"

Wang Ruoxie frowned slightly and asked, "When is the next Purple Gold Warship?"

"In five days."

The attendant replied.

Hearing this, Wang Ruoxie felt a bit speechless; his luck really wasn't great. As soon as it was his turn, it was fully booked.

Now he either had to take another warship or wait for the next Purple Gold Warship.

In either case, he would have to delay at least five more days.

At that moment, suddenly a middle-aged man stepped off the warship and whispered a few words into the attendant's ear.

"Sir, we have a vacant VIP cabin available. Would you like it?"

The attendant turned and asked Wang Ruoxie.

"VIP cabin? How much silver does it cost?"

Wang Ruoxie inquired.

"Thirty thousand silver."

The attendant replied, "Sir, the thirty thousand silver VIP cabin is worth every penny. In terms of safety alone, it far exceeds regular cabins. Moreover, this VIP cabin includes a senior at the Element Transformation Realm and a Third Grade Alchemist."

"If you're lucky, getting guidance from the senior at the Element Transformation Realm would be immensely beneficial, or obtaining a Third Grade Pill from the alchemist could even help you breakthrough to the late stage of the Energy-Introducing Realm or even the Element Transformation Realm in no time."

"Alright, I'll take the VIP cabin."

Wang Ruoxie nodded and took out thirty thousand silver notes, handing them to the attendant.

He wasn't after guidance from the Element Transformation Realm senior or seeking a Third Grade Pill; he simply didn't want to wait five more days. After all, thirty thousand silver wasn't much to him.

To him, time was far more important than silver, as time could easily be converted into more silver. For instance, by spending the five days on alchemy or artifact refining, he could earn much more than thirty thousand silver.

And silver couldn't buy time, so he naturally didn't need to consider it.

Subsequently, Wang Ruoxie followed the middle-aged man onto the Purple Gold Warship.

On the deck of the warship stood over a dozen guards at the early stage of the Energy-Introducing Realm, and in front of them were several giant crossbow arrows.

With Wang Ruoxie's sharp eyesight, he could easily tell these crossbow arrows were all Upper Grade Treasure Artifacts, capable of killing a high-level Tier Two demon beast with a single shot.

These crossbow arrows alone could raise the safety level of the Purple Gold Warship, making it challenging for any attacking high-level Tier Two flying demon beasts to pose a threat.

However, to Wang Ruoxie, the warship was still ranked too low.

In his previous life's Celestial Realm, even the lowest-grade warships were equipped with Spirit-Slaying Cannons.

The Spirit-Slaying Cannon, engraved with extremely strong attack inscriptions, utilized spirit stones as energy. With one shot, it could effortlessly annihilate a group of Innate Realm beings.

More powerful cannons like the Annihilation Cannon or Godslaying Cannon had terrifying power.

Following the middle-aged man, Wang Ruoxie entered the VIP cabin and sat in the only available seat.

His gaze swept around and found that the VIP cabin was much more luxurious than the regular cabins at the back.

With only twenty seats, it didn't feel crowded.

He looked at the people inside the cabin and judged from their attire that they were either wealthy or noble, and their cultivation levels weren't low.

Especially the gray-clad elder at the front, whose aura suggested he was the senior at the Element Transformation Realm mentioned by the attendant.

Next to the gray-clad elder was an elder in a white robe. Wang Ruoxie sensed a faint pill aroma coming from him.

Evidently, the white-robed elder was the Third Grade Alchemist.

Wang Ruoxie then turned his gaze to the two people sitting beside him, a young man and woman.

The young man appeared to be eighteen or nineteen, dressed in luxurious clothes, with sharp features, and was quite dashing, possessing a cultivation of the Sixth Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm.

The young woman was about his age, wearing a purple gauze dress, extremely beautiful, with a cultivation even above the young man's, at the Seventh Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm.

Although the difference was just one small realm, their strength difference must be vast, given one was at the middle stage of the Energy-Introducing Realm, while the other was at the late stage.

"Boy, watch your eyes."

Noticing Wang Ruoxie's gaze, the young man glanced at him coldly and said frostily.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ruoxie merely smiled faintly, then turned his gaze out the window, seeing that the warship had already started and was rapidly moving through the sky.
