The ship was travelling through the endless grey fog, as if it was flying through the clouds.
Although there was no sun or moon, there were occasionally billions of stars shining in the sky.
The universe, the space vortex, the monsters, the void, the World Layer behind them, as well as the incoming World Layer.
Everything came one after another.
At some point, Gu Qing Shan even felt like he was following the ship, moving forward in a strange and unfathomable darkness.
The wind in the void didn't stop for even a second.
Gu Qing Shan combed his messy hair and casually strolled along the edge of the deck.
This was a new experience that he had never experienced before, it was a great way to soothe his emotions.
An old voice rang out.
"My friend, why are you alone on the deck, is the room not to your liking?"
Gu Qing Shan turned around to see the old man from the Spire Keeper Association.
He was holding a candlestick, walking towards Gu Qing Shan.
"The room is quite nice, I just came out for some fresh air" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"I already know what happened to you," the old man said with a smile.
"Which matter are you talking about? Saving someone? That was only something I did in passing, please don't keep it in mind "
"That's not it, my colleague, he forgot to ask about your basic situation, that was a mistake on his part"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and understood.
He was talking about the first old man to receive him when he arrived at the Justice Iron Fist Club.
Gu Qing Shan then explained: "His service was very thorough, I don't think he made any mistakes"
Hearing that, the old man laughed.
"Ahahaha, you don't need to defend him, he should have asked about your basic situation"
"But he was fooled by the presence concealing scroll on your body, thinking that you were the descendant of some big shot, so he didn't invite you"
"Invite?" Gu Qing Shan was confused.
"That's right, for a newcomer like you who has just started to travel between World Layers, as well as having done our association a favor, we would normally ask if you're willing to join the Spire Keeper Association"
"So that's why"
Gu Qing Shan said.
He couldn't help but recall the situation at the time.
If only he had joined the Spire Keeper Association …
While he was thinking, the old man spoke up: "If I'm not mistaken, since Bali sent you to answer the Bramble Birds' summon, you've obviously become a member of his club"
"Yes" Gu Qing Shan admitted.
The old man spread his hands and said, "In my opinion, it was a wrong decision for you to join his club. What's the point of his club's existence other than providing free fights?"
Gu Qing Shan smiled but didn't say anything.
The old man showed a sincere expression and spoke seriously: "How about you leave his club and join our Spire Keeper Association?"
"Our Union has knowledge as vast as the sea of infinite worlds, as well as research on the development of spells and Professions, as well as precious historical records of the 900 million World Layers, as well as top-secret information from outside the 900 million World Layers"
"Outside the 900 million World Layers?" Gu Qing Shan asked with interest.
"Of course, such a precious secret is only known to a few people at the highest level of the association."
The old man's tone changed: "But you can join us and slowly increase your membership rank according to your contributions, slowly gaining more benefits"
"You've already done the association a favor, so you'll be able to enjoy quite a few nice benefits as soon as you join us"
Gu Qing Shan scowled: "To join the Spire Keeper Association, I have to leave the club first?"
"That's right, according to the rules, a person can only form a connection with a single Super Dimensional world, so you'll have to cancel your connection with the Justice Iron Fist Club's beacon in order to connect to our Spire's beacon" the old man explained.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't intend to change my beacon"
The old man was a bit surprised and couldn't help but ask further: "If you stay in the club, you'll have to shoulder a lot of debt for them, but if you join our Spire Keeper Association, you'll receive a lot of knowledge and benefits, do you really understand the difference?"
"I do"
"But you still want to choose the club?"
"I'm sorry"
"Why?"
"They're probably hoping that I'll bring something back to repay their debt"
"Just because of that?"
The old man looked at him like he was looking at an idiot.
"I don't like to disappoint my friends, except when I'm playing cards" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"If that's the case … I can only say that it's regretful"
The old man sighed and said.
"I'm also regretful, but I really hope to maintain a good relationship with you" Gu Qing Shan said.
The old man lifted his foot and stomped on the ground, crushing a passing insect to death.
The old man smiled: "Seems like Bali found himself a decent partner, his leg is almost healed, the Justice Iron Fist Club's luck really is looking up"
"Young man, although you've made a few stupid choices, I've found myself liking you a bit — — wait a bit, I need to get something, I'll be right back"
Saying so, the old man nodded to Gu Qing Shan and left.
On the other side.
The Justice Iron Fist Club.
The brother and sister were huddled together, nervously looking at an insect on the table.
The insect opened its mouth wide, speaking with a completely different tone.
"I don't like to disappoint my friends, except when I'm playing cards"
"If that's the case … I can only say that it's regretful"
"I'm also regretful, but I really hope to maintain a good relationship with you"
As the insect spoke to this point, it suddenly exploded and died with a "pa" sound.
"I've been found out, that old man must've killed my eavesdropping insect" Meow begrudgingly said.
Bali smiled: "It's their product in the first place, of course it's easy to be found out"
Meow was angry for a bit, then smiled again: "Gu Qing Shan is a good guy"
Bali nodded and clenched his fist: "When he comes back, he'll be qualified to fight me and complete the club's initiation ceremony"
Meow was a bit surprised.
Initiation?
That's right, every person who joins the club must seal their cultivation and fight against Bali with bare fists.
Bali will also seal his cultivation and accept the challenge.
This is the club's custom.
In the past, only official members were able to enjoy this privilege.
Privilege …
Bali didn't know how many people he's beaten away.
But this time, the one to receive the ceremony was Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan can cook.
Gu Qing Shan can repay his debt.
Gu Qing Shan has gone through the test, he's one of us.
— — -you want to beat him away?
Meow hurriedly shouted: "Please don't! I didn't say anything when you always beat people away before, but not this time!!! "
Bali was troubled: "The ceremony must be carried out, this is our club's tradition"
Meow didn't try to persuade him and calmly asked: "Tradition? Do you want to eat raw space monsters every day, or do you want to eat hot, fragrant food? Bro, this is a master chef who delivered himself to our doorstep, please think carefully before you decide "
Bali thought for a bit, then reluctantly said: "Meow, listen to me, the ceremony is sacred and solemn, it must — — -"
"He also has to pay the club's debt" Meow added.
Bali's words got stuck in his throat.
There's nothing else that can make my heart beat faster than this.
Bali straightened his attitude and solemnly said: "Meow, the ceremony is sacred and solemn, it must be carried out under the right circumstances — — - but our current circumstances are too poor, let's keep it simple"
