Qin Yilang did not object, and Feng Ling took it as his agreement, returning to have Luo Bi make preparations.
What could Luo Bi prepare? She had to hurry and refine the spirit medicine. The more spirit medicine they carried, the more secure their safety would be. However, over several days, she had one furnace after another explode, and not even a trace of spirit medicine was refined.
With no other choice, Luo Bi could only focus on the Bi Fei stone. In terms of extraction, she had at least been successful these past few days, and her results were remarkable.
The departure date for the team was quickly set for June 10th, which was two days away. The location was a remote and desolate planet called Chixing, with a danger level of two.
Feng Ling notified Luo Hang and Hua Ran on the same day. However, the night before the team's departure, Guan Zhuting fell ill. Luo Hang, worried about his wife being alone at home, informed Feng Ling and decided not to go.
With Luo Hang staying to take care of Guan Zhuting, Hua Ran felt relieved and decided to join the team.
On the day of departure, the sky was somewhat overcast. Feng Ling woke Luo Bi early and drove to the assembly point. The airship was provided by the military, as it was a temporarily formed hunting team. Qin Yilang had applied for a smaller airship, and Luo Bi had never ridden in such a magical contraption before, finding it quite incredible.
The hunting team, including Luo Bi, consisted of nine members, one of whom was a woman. Seeing Luo Bi's eyes drift towards her, Feng Ling said, "Her name is Qin Cui, a spirit medicine apprentice, and she is Qin Yilang's cousin."
Whether it was a mercenary group or a temporary hunting team, there were rules for leaving the safe zone: a master or apprentice must accompany the team, or the application would not be approved. This was for safety considerations.
The hunting team was too small, so Qin Yilang invited several masters and apprentices, but all of them declined. Helpless, he had to call his cousin Qin Cui from the Imperial Star Master Academy.
This was not the first time Qin Cui had been pulled into Qin Yilang's team. She was familiar with everyone, including Hua Ran, and they conversed without any barriers.
Sitting close to Wen Xiao, she inquired about Chixing from him. Jiang Yixin and Li Feng joined in, while Shao Chen and Hua Ran were more reserved, speaking occasionally.
Li Feng was the tall man who had been in front of Luo Bi in the queue at the stone-cutting square, and Jiang Yixin was with him. They recognized Luo Bi and greeted her.
Luo Bi smiled, but she couldn't join their conversation, so she closed her eyes and drifted into a light sleep. Feng Ling, noticing this, hesitated for a moment, then gently pulled her into his arms. Luo Bi woke up, meeting Feng Ling's lowered gaze. She said nothing, closed her eyes, and continued to doze off.
Feng Ling smiled, his lips curling, and he pressed Luo Bi's head against his shoulder, trying to make her as comfortable as possible.
When Luo Bi woke up, the airship had already arrived at Chixing.
The hunting team disembarked, and what met their eyes was a vast expanse of barren land, with rocky hills and bare sandy areas, devoid of any plant life.
Chixing was a hunting ground for small hunting teams. Not far away, several airships were already parked. Those teams had arrived earlier and were probably already deep into Chixing, leaving no trace behind.
Standing on a high point, Luo Bi looked down at the exposed rocky and sandy terrain, even seeing small alien beasts darting about faintly.
Since her rebirth in the future star system, this was her first time leaving the safe zone. She was somewhat awed and felt an indescribable tension and unease, her heart pounding.
