This time, Zhang Tie returned to Youzhou Province by airship, which made Zhang Tie a bit depressed. If he could fly, it would only take him 4-5 hours from Yanghe Prefecture to Youzhou Province; however, it would take him one day by airship. Given the convenience, of course, it was more convenient and time-saving to fly there directly. However, as a black iron knight, it was a bit shocking for him to directly fly to Youzhou Province. As he had been very famous in Youzhou Province, Zhang Tie didn't want to be a hot topic anymore. Therefore, Zhang Tie could only take the airship.
Thankfully, the time in the airship was not unbearable. He could use it for cultivation. If Zhang Tie made full use of the 20 hours' flight time, he could almost absorb 10 more earth-element crystals.
These days, although Zhang Tie looked leisurely, he didn't slack off in his cultivation. Every day, he would spare over 10 hours to cultivate at home and constantly form his earth chakra at the speed of one earth-element crystal per 2 hours.
Zhang Tie's speed of absorbing earth-element crystals was very shocking. He would consume 4 or 5 earth-element crystals a day. Therefore, he had already absorbed over 300 earth-element crystals over the past 2 months.
...
In the berth cabin of the airship, after absorbing the last earth-element crystal, a complex geometric pattern composed of triangle and circle on the edge of a part of the earth chakra of King Roc Sutra finally turned real. It turned into a dazzling golden light. This process. Like completing the assembly of a part of a huge machine, Zhang Tie felt that a dragon scale on his knight's crystal plate turned golden at once. Feeling that a dragon scale on his knight's crystal plate turned golden at once, Zhang Tie knew that he had already gained 11 dragon scales.
It was the 8th earth-element crystal that Zhang Tie had absorbed since he boarded the airship. After absorbing this earth-element crystal, it indicated that Zhang Tie had cultivated alone for 16 hours in the berth cabin. It was nothing for a person who had stayed in the tower of time for 15 years. However, Zhang Tie's cultivation skill... With Zhang Youchi's help, Zhang Tie made another step forward and became a black iron knight with 11 scales. As a result, Zhang Tie's battle strength improved once again. Therefore, Zhang Tie stopped cultivating.
Zhang Tie opened his eyes as he threw the "remains" of the earth-element crystal into Castle of Black Iron. After that, he stood up and moved his limbs. After feeling the changes in his body, he opened the door and walked out of his cabin.
"Elder Mushen!" Two bodyguards outside the cabin shouted at the sight of Zhang Tie. He quickly bowed to Zhang Tie.
According to the time, this airship should arrive at Youzhou City at about 9 am. It was around five o 'clock in the morning, and the sky outside the airship had just begun to light up. However, there was still some time before daybreak. Given the distance, the airship was about 700 miles away from Youzhou City.
"Tell the coxswain that I will go ahead of you. You just need to arrive at Youzhou City at the appointed time!" All the crew members were taking a rest at this moment. After saying that, Zhang Tie came to the exposed deck from inside the airship. After taking a deep breath of the chilly air on the deck, he flew off the deck and flew towards Youzhou City.
Even if someone knew that he had flown to Youzhou Province from this distance, it would not cause any sequela.
After flying in the sky once again, Zhang Tie felt free like how a fish entered the ocean and a bird flew into the sky. Zhang Tie felt pretty comfortable.
With his protective battle qi, Zhang Tie could almost not sense the existence of the chilly wind in the high altitude.
Wind and snow fell in all directions. Zhang Tie flew higher and deeper into the thick lead cloud in the troposphere.
At this moment, snowflakes were coming into being in the lead cloud. With the powerful knight's consciousness, Zhang Tie carefully tasted how the moisture in the lead cloud gradually turned into crystal snowflakes. What a marvelous process!
Hundreds of millions of beautiful snowflakes were coming into being in the lead cloud each second and falling off along with the chilly wind...
Penetrating through the lead cloud which constantly formed snowflakes, Zhang Tie felt like flying in a brilliant garden. In each second, he could see and feel numerous crystal and beautiful snowflakes silently blossoming beside him. Watching those snowflakes blossoming like water spirits in the air and falling onto the ground along with the wind, Zhang Tie gradually felt tranquil …
Such a scene couldn't be described by the word "magnificent" in the perception of Zhang Tie's knight's consciousness.
Besides knights, who else could have such an experience and observe the great beauty of the universe?
To evaporate water from the ground to the air, it needed the temperature of the sun, which was the power of fire. The sublimation and dissipation of the power of fire caused the water to show different forms in different places in the space. Then, the snowflake fell with the wind and returned to the embrace of the earth. This small snowflake came from nothing, from birth to fall, and was actually formed by the great power of earth, water, wind, and fire between heaven and earth.
In the ethereal state, watching these snowflakes in the air, Zhang Tie recalled those bubbles in the water. Closely after that, he got an epiphany.
The land was vast. Mountains were dancing like silver snakes and waxen elephants. In such an ethereal and enlightened state, the outline of Youzhou City had already appeared on the land under his feet. Zhang Tie had already been 60 miles away from Youzhou City.
At the sight of Youzhou City, Zhang Tie remembered that he almost forgot one thing.
Right in the lead cloud, Zhang Tie ran his spiritual energy as he called out those thunder hawks in Castle of Black Iron.
Six thunder hawks appeared in the air at once.
The two bigger thunder hawks had been very familiar with the outside world. As it was the first time for the other four smaller thunder hawks to come to this world; especially when it was their first time to encounter such a snowy weather, they were very curious and excited as they kept chirping and flying around Zhang Tie.
At the request of the "father" of the four smaller thunder hawks, each thunder hawk had to accept a baptism of thunder and lightning in its life. It was their instinct to accept the baptism of thunder and lightning like how moths flew into the fire.
If thunder hawks succeeded, nothing might happen to them; instead, they might complete a life evolution. If they failed, they would be severely wounded or even killed. The thunder hawk that followed Zhang Tie at the beginning was not caught until it was injured by a thunder and lightning in Selnes Theater of Operations. The mother of the four thunder hawks was also injured when she was baptized by the thunder and lightning. Fortunately, she was not caught by others after she was injured.
Zhang Tie stayed in the air as he watched these thunder hawks who followed him to Taixia Country from Waii Sub-continent with tender eyes.
These thunder hawks were not only his pets, but also his partners and comrades-in-arms...
"Go to the north. There are fewer people there. Remember to come back alive!" Zhang Tie told those thunder hawks as he pointed at the sky in the north.
It was Liaozhou Province in the north of Youzhou Province, which was a barren province with fewer people.
Thunder hawks were very difficult to be caught. After being trained by Aziz in Castle of Black Iron, these thunder hawks became smarter and more powerful. Those smaller thunder hawks had also mastered hunting skills. After going to Liaozhou Province, these thunder hawks had fewer chances to meet people. Even though they were injured by lightning bolts, they would not worry about being caught.
Those thunder hawks chirped as they circled around Zhang Tie for a few times. Finally, Zhang Tie waved his hand. Closely after that, those thunder hawks penetrated through the clouds and flew towards the north in the wind and snow.
Watching these thunder hawks leaving, Zhang Tie felt a bit sad inside. Because he didn't know how many of the 4 smaller thunder hawks could come back alive. However, this was their destiny. They had to accept the challenge from their destinies. Like how Zhang Tie accepted the challenge from his own destinies, he could only face it.
Zhang Tie didn't move his eyes away until the 6 thunder hawks completely disappeared in his sight. After throwing a glance at Youzhou City in the distance, he flew towards Youzhou City.
Yesterday, Zhang Tie received a message from Huaiyuan Palace in Golden Light City that the clan head had something to discuss with him. Therefore, he came here.
As Count Long Wind was already the provincial governor of Youzhou Province, no matter how powerful he was, he dared not ask Zhang Taixuan to come to Golden Light City for him. Nobody across Youzhou Province was qualified to do that. In the Northeast Military Region, only Commander Cheng was qualified to summon a provincial governor.
Zhang Tie didn't know why Zhang Taixuan wanted to find him; however, he knew that Zhang Taixuan would not ask him to go to Youzhou City if it was not something urgent. Over the past 2 months, Zhang Tie stayed at home leisurely. Zhang Taixuan didn't have anyone look for him.
Two days ago, Zhang Yang had finished all the formalities for the purchase of land. When he came to Youzhou City, he happened to take back those land ownership documents, maps and title deeds from the Land Resources Mansion. From then on, Zhang family officially became a big landlord in Youzhou Province. The land area under the name of Zhang family was equal to 1/4 of Yanghe Prefecture.
Zhang family's newly purchased land was also incorporated into the administrative division of Yanghe Prefecture. After the city was built, Zhang Tie and his elder brother decided to have their dad be the castellan of Jinwu City... Astronomy? W, the novel is better, the update is faster!
