After the spacecraft assembly was successfully connected to the Obsidian Flying Ship, Xia Ruofei directly used his mental power to explore the interior of the spacecraft. He turned on the power switch, started to check the power, unfurled the solar panels, and so on.
These routine operations were not difficult. As a cultivator, Xia Ruofei's memory was much better than that of ordinary astronauts. Therefore, even though he did not practice the procedures much, he was still very familiar with them.
After a while, the spacecraft assembly entered a normal working state.
Xia Ruofei gestured to everyone, then used his mental power to open the cabin door from the inside and entered the spacecraft assembly first.
Because the interior of the spacecraft was relatively small, the cabin used for entry and exit was even smaller, so everyone entered in batches.
The first batch was Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue. After the two entered the spacecraft, they closed the cabin door first and re-pressurized the cabin. When the pressure in this cabin and the other cabins equalized, they opened the connecting cabin door and entered the living quarters.
Then, they closed the cabin door again, released the pressure, opened the entrance and exit, and let the next batch of cultivators enter the spacecraft.
Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue went directly to the spacecraft's return cabin. This was the narrowest and smallest place and also the control center of the entire spacecraft assembly. During the flight, everyone took turns to be on duty here.
In fact, there were still many inconveniences to living in the spacecraft for a long time. After all, the space was narrow and men and women lived together. Therefore, if an astronaut worked in space for a long time, they would have to go through a long period of specialized training.
The oxygen supply module that they brought this time was actually enough to supply everyone with an extravehicular spacesuit and take the Obsidian Flying Ship back to Earth.
However, everyone still chose this relatively troublesome method.
The reason was very simple. After all, wearing a heavy extravehicular spacesuit would be inconvenient to move around. Eating and going to the toilet and other problems that ordinary people faced, cultivators could not completely avoid. If they wore an extravehicular spacesuit, it would be even more inconvenient.
Moreover, although there were enough oxygen supply modules, the number was still limited. There was no need to wear an extravehicular spacesuit in the spacecraft assembly. The interior of the spacecraft itself was an oxygen environment, and the spacecraft had special equipment to produce oxygen. This way, a lot of oxygen supply modules could be saved.
During the long journey, no one could guarantee that there wouldn't be any accidents. Therefore, if there really was an accident along the way, the extra oxygen supply module could be used to save lives.
Besides, living in the spaceship was only a little cramped. For cultivators, having a place to meditate was enough. It was much more convenient than wearing an extravehicular spacesuit.
Therefore, everyone, including Xia Ruofei himself, chose to take the spaceship. The Obsidian Airship only played a guiding role during the voyage. The distance between the airship and the spaceship was very close, and Xia Ruofei could easily use his mental power to control the airship.
After a while, Chen Xuan and the others also entered the spaceship.
Xia Ruofei returned to the cabin and checked that the cabin doors were all closed. There was no problem with the airtightness, and the air pressure in each cabin had returned to equilibrium.
Therefore, he confirmed with everyone in the communication channel and used his psychic power to communicate with the Obsidian Airship and continue flying towards Earth.
The flying ship slowly started moving, and the cables that were originally suspended in space were quickly straightened.
Everyone felt the spaceship tremble slightly, and then it began to accelerate along with the Obsidian Airship.
The Obsidian Airship flew in space, and it also consumed the energy of crystals. It couldn't accelerate with the help of gravity, so the time they spent on the journey was much longer than the time it took to land on the moon and return in the secular world.
However, everyone was already experienced, so after entering the spaceship, they each found a place to stabilize their bodies and began to cultivate with their eyes closed. When they cultivated on Earth, they just maintained a cross-legged posture. However, in the weightless environment of space, once a cultivator entered a state of selflessness, their body might float around, so they had to be fixed in place in advance.
Of course, not everyone cultivated as soon as they came in.
For example, Chen Xuan and Xu Yurou of the Tianyi Sect, and Mu Jianfei of the Surging Wave Sect naturally didn't have the heart to cultivate.
Yang Liu and Yu Xin 'er found a corner and quickly entered a state of cultivation. They also gained a lot in the Tower of Trials, obtaining cultivation methods and some cultivation resources.
It could be said that any of the rewards and opportunities obtained in the Tower of Trials, if placed in the cultivation world of Earth, would be enough to make the big sects jealous, so the size of the gains was relative.
Without Xia Ruofei as a reference, it could be said that everyone's gains were very big.
Chen Xuan sat alone in the corner in a daze, while Xu Yurou timidly guarded by his side, not daring to speak to him.
Mu Jianfei was also in a similar state. Originally, he had obtained a very good Cultivation Method in the Tower of Trials, as well as hundreds of precious crystals. He had even thought that his harvest in the Tower of Trials was the biggest, and his heart was filled with complacency.
Because of these crystals and this cultivation method, his path to the Golden Core stage would be very smooth. In the foreseeable future, he should be able to smoothly break through to the Golden Core stage.
But Elder Muhua didn't return, and directly died in the Tower of Trials. This made Mu Jianfei feel as if he was hit in the head. Until now, he was in a daze.
Muhua wasn't the only Golden Core stage elder in the Cang Lang Sect, but Muhua was the youngest and had the best talent. He had high hopes for him.
Most importantly, Muhua and Mu Jianfei were from the same family. According to seniority, Muhua should be Mu Jianfei's uncle. This kind of relationship was naturally closer than normal elders.
Mu Jianfei had been doted on since he was young, and Muhua loved and cared for this little nephew of his. Mu Jianfei and Muhua's relationship was very deep.
When the bad news of Muhua came, Mu Jianfei not only felt that the sect had suffered a great loss, but he also fell into great grief and couldn't extricate himself.
Xia Ruofei also understood their feelings, including those of the Tianyi Palace. Although Shen Tianfang deserved to die, Shen Tianfang was Shen Tianfang, and Chen Xuan was Chen Xuan. As long as the Tianyi Palace didn't find out, Xia Ruofei would definitely bury this matter in his heart. He didn't even tell Ling Qingxue.
However, Ling Qingxue knew that he could summon his companions to his side. Whether she would have guessed it or not, it was unknown.
But in any case, Ling Qingxue was definitely on his side.
Considering the actual situation of Chen Xuan and the others, Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue took the initiative to be on duty for the first day, while Yang Liu and Yu Xin 'er were on duty for the second day. From the third day onward, several people from the Tianyi Palace and the Canglang Sect would be on duty.
Although the power of the spaceship was provided by the Obsidian Flying Boat, there were many sophisticated equipment working on the spaceship itself, including equipment to provide oxygen at all times. The airtightness of the cabin was also very important. Once there was an explosive loss of pressure, it could be fatal for cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage. Everything that Xia Ruofei experienced in the illusion could really happen in reality.
Therefore, on the return trip, everyone also took turns to be on duty to ensure that there was someone in the cabin at all times to monitor the state of the entire spaceship assembly.
It was just that on the return trip, Shen Tianfang and Muhua were not there. Everyone's living space was a little bigger, but the shift shifts were more frequent.
After everyone had settled down, Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue sat in the narrow return cabin of the spaceship. Ling Qingxue adjusted the frequency on her spacesuit, then said with a smile, "Ruofei, we're finally on the return trip! The experience this time is really too wonderful! "
The communication system of the spacesuit was actually a normal radio system. The spacesuit provided by Musk could listen to two frequencies at the same time, but there was only one transmission frequency.
In other words, if someone spoke on two frequencies, the spacesuit's headphones could hear them, but the spacesuit's own voice could only be heard on one frequency, and it had to be manually adjusted.
Xia Ruofei and the others all listened to the same frequency, which was equivalent to the common frequency of the exploration team. Ling Qingxue just adjusted the transmission frequency to another preset frequency, and only she and Xia Ruofei were on this frequency, which ensured the privacy of the conversation.
It was equivalent to a large range of public frequencies and a small range of frequencies. In fact, Chen Xuan and the others were also like this. Cultivators in the same sect would also set up a private frequency.
Xia Ruofei was about to change out of his spacesuit. After all, the return cabin of the spaceship was narrow to begin with, and wearing an extravehicular spacesuit would be even more awkward.
In fact, astronauts would not wear extravehicular spacesuits even when the rocket took off and the return cabin landed.
However, Xia Ruofei saw that Ling Qingxue was talking to him through the spacesuit intercom system, so he adjusted the transmission frequency of his spacesuit to a private frequency to ensure privacy.
Sound was transmitted through the air. The air pressure in the spaceship assembly was the same as on Earth. It was also filled with air. Therefore, even though the soundproofing effect of the cabin door was very good, with the cultivators' hearing, if they really wanted to eavesdrop, they would still be able to hear it.
If they spoke softly through the thick extravehicular spacesuits, and there were a few airtight doors between the return cabin and the living cabin, it was basically impossible to be eavesdropped.
Ling Qingxue probably also took this into consideration, which was why she did not rush to take off her spacesuit. She was still not very proficient in the technique of telepathy, and if she did not control it well, it would become a live broadcast.
Xia Ruofei smiled slightly and said, "Qingxue, do you have something to say that you want to hide from others?"
Ling Qingxue said with a smile, "You're so smart! Ruofei, I want to tell you that although I was eliminated on the Stairway to Heaven, I still got a very generous reward! Guess what the reward is? "
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "How can I guess? But seeing how happy you are, the reward must not be simple, right? "
Ling Qingxue laughed and said, "Take a guess! You've seen it in the Tower of Trials! "
Xia Ruofei thought for a while and said, "I've seen it in the Tower of Trials? Then it's nothing more than... the Cinnabar Fruit? Crystal? Huang Yujing? "
"That's right!" Ling Qingxue said happily, "Ruofei, do you know? When I was sent out of the Tower of Trials, I found that there was an extra storage ring in my hand, and there were 800 Huang Yujing in it! And the reward was directly stored in the storage ring, so this ring must be very valuable! "
"Look at how inexperienced you are!" Xia Ruofei teased.
"Don't make fun of me!" Ling Qingxue said coquettishly, "I'm just inexperienced! Huang Yujing is a good thing! Isn't your spiritual power just a step away from the door? These Huang Yujing should be helpful! But... I was thinking if I could give the Huang Yujing to Weiwei! With the Cinnabar Fruit and Huang Yujing, her cultivation can at least be improved to the same level as mine! You and Weiwei both need it, so how are we going to split it? If you each take half, the effect won't be enough... "
Xia Ruofei saw Ling Qingxue's distressed expression. She was conflicted about whether to give the Huang Yujing to Xia Ruofei or to give it to Song Wei to improve his mental power as soon as possible. Xia Ruofei was also touched.
He stretched out his arm that looked a little bloated in the spacesuit and gently touched Ling Qingxue's helmet. He smiled and said, "Silly girl! Don't worry about it so much! If you want, you can just give it to Weiwei to use. Or you can keep it for yourself, and Weiwei won't say anything! I don't need it. My mental power has already broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm. If I continue to use the Huang Yujing, it won't improve much. "
"But you also..." Ling Qingxue didn't react at first. Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and shouted, "Ah? Really? Ruofei, you... "
At this point, Ling Qingxue realized that her voice was a little loud. She quickly lowered her voice and asked, "Ruofei, did you really break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm? Isn't it very difficult to break through to the next realm? How did it happen so suddenly? "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "How could I lie to you about this kind of thing! I really broke through, and I broke through on the obsidian rooftop! Breaking through on the spot. Your husband is amazing, right? "
When Xia Ruofei said that he broke through on the stairway to heaven, Ling Qingxue already believed most of it.
This was because she had also experienced the obsidian stairway. Although it was only a stairway for Qi Condensation cultivators, the principle was the same. She had personally experienced the spiritual pressure and tried her best to resist it, so she was very clear about how terrifying it was. She was also very clear that if she could withstand the pressure, she would definitely improve.
After experiencing the Obsidian Stairway to Heaven, her mental strength had also improved to a certain extent. However, because she did not persist in that state of extreme pressure for too long, and her mental strength was not in a bottleneck state, the improvement was not great.
When Ling Qingxue thought about this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She asked, "Ruofei, you must have suffered a lot on the stairway... It took you so long to come out. It means that you suffered for several hours on the stairway!"
