The car body is engraved with exquisite and intricate patterns.
The car windows are made from a single piece of crystal. The wheels are made of incredibly hard, century-old sapphire wood.
The horses pulling the cart were not ordinary horses.
Instead, they were two magnificent and extraordinary steeds, clearly not ordinary, but thousand-year-old wind steeds!
These spirit beasts are known for their speed and endurance; traveling a thousand miles a day is simply commonplace for them!
Ning Rongrong was the first to let out a surprised scream.
"Teacher Su! This...is this your carriage? It's so beautiful!"
She circled the carriage, her big eyes sparkling with excitement.
Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun also looked surprised.
Although they were of noble birth, this was the first time they had ever seen such a luxurious and high-class carriage.
"Just basic operation."
With a calm expression, Su Xin opened the car door and gestured for the three women to enter.
"Get in the carriage, my princesses."
Upon hearing this, the three women blushed and, one by one, boarded the carriage with excitement and curiosity.
The interior of the carriage was decorated with extreme luxury.
The floor was covered with a soft and comfortable long-pile carpet.
The carriage was furnished with exquisite tables and chairs, as well as comfortable couches.
There were even various fresh fruits and snacks prepared on the table.
It's practically a mobile five-star luxury suite!
"My goodness, Ms. Su, you really know how to enjoy yourself!"
As soon as Ning Rongrong got into the car, she pounced on the incredibly soft-looking couch, letting out a satisfied moan of pleasure.
"This isn't a training trip, it's practically a vacation!"
Su Xin smiled and got into the car as well.
"Who says that going through trials and tribulations means making yourself miserable?"
"Knowing how to enjoy life is also a sign of a strong person's mindset."
He said this with a flourish and waved his hand. The car door closed automatically.
The two swift steeds let out a loud neigh, then pulled the carriage and transformed into a golden streak of light, disappearing into the distance!
They moved so fast that in the blink of an eye, they left the few "ascetics" who were still struggling to run far behind them.
Only Flander and Zhao Wuji, the two old guys, were left standing there, looking at each other, completely bewildered.
"What about us...?"
Zhao Wuji pointed to his nose, then to Flander beside him, and asked with a bewildered look.
"Teacher Su... didn't seem to say he was going to take us?"
Flander's lips twitched slightly.
"Nonsense! Those are couples' seats. Why would they bring two old men along? To be third wheels?"
he said angrily.
Then, looking into the distance, Yu Xiaogang's team had become a tiny black dot.
Then look again, and you can no longer even see Su Xin's luxurious carriage.
Flander was speechless.
Is this the same team they're leading?
This differential treatment is just too damn obvious!
"Oh... forget it."
Flander sighed and took out an old and dilapidated ordinary carriage from his soul tool.
"Old Zhao, get in the car."
"Let's just follow behind them and stroll around slowly."
"Hopefully, by the time we get to the Star Trek Forest, they will have already finished crafting all their spirit rings."
And so, over the next month...
The two teams put on a real-life version of "The Tortoise and the Hare".
Su Xin's luxurious carriage leisurely led the way every day.
They strolled around during the day, stopping whenever they saw a scenic spot to picnic, barbecue, and enjoy the view.
We'll find a comfortable guesthouse to stay in for the night.
They live a life more carefree than immortals.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang's team is putting on a daily show of "Fast and Furious".
They traveled frantically during the day and slept in the wilderness wherever they could find a place at night.
Everyone was tortured beyond recognition.
However, this high-intensity physical training also has significant effects.
After a month, Dai Mubai and the others had greatly improved their physical fitness and endurance.
When the two teams finally met victoriously in a small town on the outskirts of the Stardust Great Forest.
Dai Mubai and the others looked at the three girls whose skin was fair and rosy, whose complexion was excellent, and who even seemed to have gained weight.
Looking at ourselves, we were all tanned like charcoal, skin and bones, looking like we'd escaped from a refugee camp.
That deep-seated sense of humiliation and...jealousy reached its peak once again.
They felt like they had wasted the entire past month!
Star Trek Forest is one of the most famous and largest gathering places for soul beasts on the continent.
The surrounding towns are naturally bustling with people all year round.
Soul Masters of all skin colors and attire can be seen everywhere in the town.
Some of them come here to hunt for spirit rings.
Some are mercenaries who come here looking for opportunities to make money.
Others come here to buy various soul beast materials.
As soon as Su Xin's team entered the town, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
There was no way around it; it was just too eye-catching.
On one side was Su Xin and his extremely flashy golden carriage, along with three incredibly beautiful young women inside.
This duo is always the center of attention wherever they go.
On the other side was Yu Xiaogang and the five "refugees" behind him, dressed in rags, covered in dust, looking even more wretched than beggars.
These two groups, walking together, created a striking and dramatic contrast.
The pedestrians on the street were all stunned and wondering what was going on.
Could it be that a young master from some powerful family has come out for a stroll with his concubine and... slaves?
I could feel the strange and inquisitive gazes around me.
Dai Mubai and the others' faces turned a deep purplish-red, as if they wished they could disappear into a crack in the ground.
That's so fucking embarrassing!
They've never been so humiliated in their entire lives!
Su Xin, however, didn't care at all.
They booked the best and most expensive hotel in town.
Then, he took the three women and they enjoyed a nice hot bath and changed into clean clothes.
We plan to have a good meal first, rest for a night, and then officially enter the forest tomorrow.
Yu Xiaogang, in order to continue to implement his "ascetic" cultivation philosophy.
He then took his five students, who were starving, and found the cheapest and most run-down hotel in a corner of the town to stay in.
Dinner was still dry and unpalatable, consisting of black bread that was hard to swallow and... plain water.
As Dai Mubai and the others smelled the mouthwatering aroma of delicacies wafting from the luxurious hotel next door, which Su Xin had booked, they were filled with the scent of rare and exotic foods.
The string of "patience" in their hearts finally snapped with a "snap".
"I quit!"
Ma Hongjun was the first to slam the black bread in his hand onto the ground!
"Why!"
"Why do they get to eat and drink like royalty and stay in fancy hotels, while we have to stay here and eat this stuff that even dogs wouldn't eat!"
"Is this some kind of cultivation? This is torture!"
The fat man completely snapped.
"Exactly! Master! We can't take it anymore!"
Auska echoed this sentiment.
"We've been running around for a month, our legs are about to break, and we haven't even had a proper meal!"
"You call this... tempering your will?"
"I feel like my willpower is being worn away!"
Although Dai Mubai didn't speak, his face was equally gloomy.
