What If I Can't Die?
chapter-111

"I want to go home and get something."

Song Shi looked at Elder Yuan.

"Young Master, do hurry."

Elder Yuan treated Song Shi as someone of the same level as her and was very courteous.

"Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

Song Shi asked Liu Ruxue and the others to stay behind. He turned into a Phantom image and disappeared from the street, returning to the Song residence.

In only a month's time, the Song Mansion looked much more dilapidated than before. The ground was covered in dust and spiderwebs. A few rats were sniffing around in the corner, looking for food.

After all the Song Mansion had encountered a terrible disaster and no one dared to come here. Fallen leaves fluttered in the vast space and a cold wind blew. It was a little terrifying.

"If it weren't for the chaos in the world, it wouldn't be bad to just be a profligate son here."

Song Shi muttered and walked to the ancient well where he had cultivated before with a nostalgic expression. This place was filled with well water again.

"This is it!"

Song Shi opened the system and set up the alternative resurrection point in the well water. He grinned strangely.

If he really wanted to come back in the future, he could directly choose this resurrection point when he died and return to his hometown.

"From today onwards, I'm going to have so much fun!"

Song Shi put his hands behind his back and hummed, "I'm gonna have a lot of fun…"

He turned around and went to his room to get a few sets of clothes. Then, he strode out of the Song residence.

"Breeze Sword Control Technique!"

Song Shi formed a hand seal and a flying sword appeared from his storage bag. It landed at Song Shi's feet and carried him up. Flames flickered as he flew into the sky with a whoosh.

"Damn, so fast!"

The sudden acceleration caused Song Shi to fall. Fortunately, he grabbed the flying sword and continued going forward in the air.

He hurriedly looked around. Fortunately, he was still in the Song Mansion and no one saw his embarrassing moment.

"Damn it, I forgot that I've reached the Foundation Establishment realm. My strength is much stronger than before."

Song Shi cursed as he adjusted his stance. Soon, he returned to his leisurely state. The wind and fire under his feet danced like a red meteor streaking across the sky.

He roughly estimated his flying height. He would only reach his limit when he reached about 1,000 feet. However, the limited height was not because his cultivation level was insufficient, but because his Dharma artifacts seemed to have reached their limit.

As for its flying speed, it could roughly reach 100 kilometers per hour. It was similar to the slow metro in his previous life.

But to reach that speed, the metro had to burn alot of oil, whereas he could actually do it by himself and a Dharma artifact only.

"This is way more powerful than science."

Song Shi looked at the flying sword and began to study its principles.

He felt that there would definitely be many unexplainable surprises if he studied cultivation from a scientific perspective.

Given his basic foundation of Array Formation, since Runes and Taboo Powers on Dharma artifacts were also a part of Array Formations. Song Shi could still see certain things that could explain how Dharma artifacts work.

"So this is a kind of soaring rune… The knowledge given by the system is quite awesome and exciting since I've never read books related to Array Formations."

Song Shi felt that the Array Formation runes contained the ultimate mystery of the cultivation world. Even he could not really understand it.

He retracted his gaze and sped up to return.

In a quiet alley near the city gate, Big Smart was exchanging flirtatious glances with Mei Niang when he suddenly heard the sound of air being torn apart. He looked up and could not help but jump up and shout.

"Young Master, over here."

"I saw you."

The flames stopped, revealing Song Shi, who was dressed in a long robe.

"Young Master, you can fly on a sword now. How cool!"

Big Smart looked envious. Flying on a sword was also his dream.

"I'll give you a flying sword too. Go play by yourself."

Song Shi took out a storage bag and threw it to Big Smart. His generous appearance made Mei Niang laugh secretly. "Young Master, you're so generous after becoming a cultivator. Old Liu is really lucky to be with you."

Big Smart checked and realized that other than the flying sword, there were many other things. They were the assets of a cultivator. He clicked his tongue and said, "Young Master, you are give them all to me?"

"What do you think?"

Song Shi said to Liu Ruxue and the others who were waiting for him, "I have nothing else to do. Let's go."

"Young Master Song, you sound like you're going back to your own home. Looks like you're really fated with the Yao Moon Palace."

Elder Yuan admired Song Shi very much. Unknowingly, Song Shi had taken the lead of this team.

"It's mainly because I'm homeless now. I'm looking for a place to stay.

Song Shi made a hand seal and the flying sword started to shine brightly. He looked at Liu Ruxue and said, "I'll bring her along. Elder Yuan, you can take one less person with you. That way you can fly for a while longer."

Flying on Dharma artifacts required a large amount of cultivation. Therefore, one usually had to be at the late-stage of the Qi Refinement realm, but even then they could not fly far.

It was roughly like how a car wouldn't run after using up all the gasoline, and the time taken for a cultivator to recover was much slower than the time taken for a car to refuel.

For more than a thousand miles. If the driver did not rest and kept driving, it would take ten hours. If he rested two or three times, it would take about twenty hours to reach.

As for cultivators, since their restoration time was slower than a car. Even if Elder Yuan was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and was comparable to a small car, it would still take two days for her to bring four more people along.

Upon hearing this, Elder Yuan nodded, "Since you're already at the Foundation Establishment realm, you can bring someone along. It's a good opportunity to train your Essence Energy recovery speed as well."

"Young Master, I want to ride the flying sword too."

Big Smart said eagerly.

"Piss off!"

Song Shi had yet to learn how to use a flying sword to carry people. Now, he could only carry Liu Ruxue. It was impossible for him to carry a burly man.

"Okay."

Big Smart jumped onto Elder Yuan's blanket Dharma artifact.

"Young Master Song is gifted and the martial arts he cultivates are very explosive. However, long-distance flight tests one's Endurance and Essence Energy recovery speed. Remember to control your consumption."

Elder Yuan reminded.

"It's fine. I'll think about it when I reach that stage."

Song Shi was not in the mood to conserve his primeval essence.

Although his cultivation level was seven times that of a Normal cultivator, his Essence Energy was not very dense yet. However he had just broken through, so how could he not seek to experience how flying fast feels like?

"Xue'er, get on."

Song Shi stretched out his hand and chuckled.

Flying swords were equivalent to cars in his previous life. Now, he also had a 'car'.

Liu Ruxue smiled, stepped on the ground and took the initiative to leap into Song Shi's arms.

With the soft body in his arms and a delicate fragrance wafting into his nose, Song Shi's blood boiled. He really wanted to fool around with her there and then.

He formed an incantation gesture and activated the flying sword. With a piercing sound, the flying sword quickly soared into the sky.

"Aiya, slow down."

Liu Ruxue hugged Song Shi tightly in fear and rolled her eyes at him.

"Don't you like me to be quick?"

Song Shi smirked.

"Scoundrel, aren't you afraid of falling to your death? There are many cultivators who are not proficient in flying on swords."

Liu Ruxue chided him.

"Don't worry, I'm very stable."

Song Shi smiled confidently. As someone who had fallen once, he had already passed the novice stage.

He used his Essence Energy to block the gusts of wind. Under the rapid acceleration, he directly reached the speed limit of the flying sword.

Cruising in the air outside the city, Song Shi stopped and turned to look at the slow but very comfortable blanket Dharma treasure cruising along him. His gaze landed on the Jin river and the Yuan River.

Both rivers were like a long snake and dragon that were galloping and converging in the distance. There was an island in the middle of the lake.

There was a temple on the island and the sound of a bell chime could be heard.

He glanced at Silken City, which had an additional layer of dilapidated aura from the past. Although his hometown was in trouble, it was still his hometown. He was still a little reluctant to leave so suddenly.

Song Shi sighed, "I hope I can meet interesting people and encounter interesting things on this trip."

"You want to meet someone interesting?"

Liu Ruxue was a little jealous, "There are many beauties in the Yao Moon Palace. Don't neglect me when the time comes."

"How can that be? You're my first Dao companion. No matter what kind of women there are, they'll be ranked behind you."

Song Shi patted his chest and laughed as he flew around the blanket Dharma artifacts. He felt extremely heroic. He felt that he was the most awesome person in the world.
