In Qin Mu's team, other than him, the imperial academician, there were no directorates. Gu Linuan's reason was that Qin Mu was an imperial academician and had a high official position, thus he should lead a team of scholars alone.
Even though the few scholars that were assigned to Qin Mu were all selected and were the top figures in Scholar's Residence, they were still far inferior to the scholars selected by Royalty's Park and Divine Arts Residence.
There were many strong practitioners in Imperial College and there were plenty of people with outstanding abilities. Gu Linuan letting Qin Mu lead a team for experience was obviously to avenge a personal grudge.
The few scholars that followed Qin Mu to the frontlines for experience were also familiar faces. Chen Wanyun, Monk Yun Que, Yue Qinghong who had brought along a wolf slave, Si Yunxiangt and Qin Yu.
However, Qin Yu was a disciple of Qin Mu's family in the capital city and had a deep background. After finding Gu Linuan and informing him, he was transferred from Qin Mu's team to another team led by a directorate, avoiding Qin Mu's team that was bound to die.
Qin Mu finished refining a furnace of Scarlet Fire Spirit Pills and stretched his body. He had been refining pills for the past few days to prevent himself from running out of food when he reached the frontlines for the Dragon Unicorn, thus he had no time to meet those scholars.
Monk Yun Que found Chen Wanyun, Yue Qinghong and the rest and discussed, "This time Grand Chancellor had let Academician Qin bring us for experience and to the land of rebellion. I reckon we won't be able to return and will definitely die. We don't even have a divine arts practitioner in our team! "
Chen Wanyun shook his head, "There are."
The few of them looked at him. Chen Wanyun said indifferently, "I've been suppressing my realm these few days so you guys can be at ease. I can break through anytime and become a divine arts practitioner of Six Directions Realm."
Yue Qinghong said, "I've heard that these rebel sects are already gathering towards the south to completely eradicate the power of Yankang Kingdom. There are many sects that were originally active around the capital city but now they have all disappeared without a trace. For example, Dragon Rider Sect has migrated to the south. Now the south of Surging River is completely the territory of the rebel army! With all the rebel sects gathered there, how many divine arts practitioners are there? You're useless as a divine arts practitioner. "
Chen Wanyun frowned. "Academician Qin's experience is too shallow. How old is he? How many times has he been to the martial arts world? With him leading us, the odds are against us. No matter how high my cultivation is, there is nothing I can do. Junior Sister Si, you haven't said anything yet. What do you think? "
Si Yunxiangt smiled shyly and didn't say anything.
Everyone was silent.
Monk Yun Que sighed, "Let's go to Floor of Heavenly Records to choose one or two escape divine arts, we might be able to use them."
Finally, the day of departure had arrived. In front of the Hall of Supreme Learning, a few hundred scholars had gathered. The directorates were inspecting their own teams. Then, ship after ship flew over and landed in front of the Hall of Supreme Learning. The directorates each led their own teams and boarded their own ship.
"Dr. Qin, didn't you hire a boat?"
Gu Linuan walked over and smiled, "The journey this time is quite far. If we walk there, it will take more than ten days. You are an Imperial Academician, you can't be unwilling to fork out such a small amount of money, right?"
Qin Mu was calm and composed as he smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Grand Chancellor. I'm so poor that I only have money left, therefore I spent a large amount of money to hire a fast boat. It will arrive very quickly. The pill furnace on this boat was forged by me, so it'll be very fast. "
Chen Wanyun and the rest looked at one another and thought to themselves, "Stingy indeed. The pill furnace was forged by him, so it should be a small boat. However, he actually knows how to forge weapons? He has never been to Hall of Divine Works before, so where did he learn how to forge weapons? "
There was Hall of Divine Works in Imperial College, and what they learned was forging weapons and treasures. The directorates of Hall of Divine Works also held positions in the imperial court. The directorates of Hall of Divine Works held important positions in the manufacturing factory of ships and military equipment.
Ever since Qin Mu had entered Imperial College, he had never been to Hall of Divine Works once, so it was impossible for him to learn the knowledge of forging.
Not long later, the ships flew up and sailed away from Imperial College. Monk Yun Que and the rest were waiting anxiously. Suddenly, they saw a tattered ship sailing over shakily in the sky and landed in front of Hall of Supreme Learning.
"Our ship has arrived!" Qin Mu smiled.
Chen Wanyun, Yun Que, Yue Qinghong and the rest frowned. They saw that this ship was already riddled with holes and was leaking air everywhere. Furthermore, the mast had been chopped off and there wasn't even a sail.
A burly man with bare arms appeared on the ship. He had a ferocious face and looked like he wasn't a good person. His body was covered in tattoos and he waved his hand at Qin Mu while laughing, "Old Brother Qin, I'm late, I'm late!"
Qin Mu brought Hu Ling 'er and Dragon Unicorn forward and smiled, "It's no problem to be late by one or two days. What happened to your ship? It was still fine the last time I saw it, why did it become so tattered in just a few days? "
"Don't mention it, I went on a business trip and met that slut from Three Wonders Castle who released pests on me. My speed was too fast and bumped into the swarm of pests, almost turning my treasure ship into a sieve."
Fan Yunxiao looked at Chen Wanyun and the rest and chuckled, "Scholars, when you become officials in the future, you must take care of this little one. We have turned over a new leaf recently."
Yun Que muttered, "This ship is so tattered, will it disintegrate after flying into the sky?"
Qin Mu also had the same doubt. This Cloud Chasing Pirate Ship was simply too tattered and looked like it could fall apart at any moment.
"It won't, it won't!"
Fan Yunxiao guaranteed and patted his chest forcefully, "This little one's brother had already used runes to reinforce the ship's body and it's very sturdy. Old Brother Qin, do you have time to help me forge an iron shell ship? Help me forge two more furnaces and use black iron to forge the ship's body. The wood is truly a little brittle. "
Qin Mu pondered over it, "That would require a huge sum of money. Just the black iron alone is not a small expenditure. Can your esteemed account take out so much money? Furthermore, do you have the blueprints? "
Fan Yunxiao rubbed his hands forcefully, "I've been robbing everywhere these few years … Bah bah, doing business everywhere and I've saved quite a bit of money. With all of my assets added together, I should be able to forge an iron shell ship. As for the blueprints, that's not easy to get … Everyone, please board the ship. We'll talk after boarding the ship. "
Everyone boarded the ship and Yue Qinghong looked around. The workers on the ship were all covered in tattoos and looked fiendish. Some of them even had long scars on their bodies and some of them were missing noses or eyes. With a baleful aura, one could tell that they weren't good people.
