Jin Chi Da Peng Diao and Ao Xue were overjoyed upon hearing this and urged Xu Fang to depart quickly. They had listened to the teachings in Zixiao Palace for so many years and were already impatient.
"Don't rush, don't rush."
Xu Fang waved his hand, signaling them to calm down, then let out a wry smile.
"Speaking of which, have you all forgotten someone?"
Jin Chi Da Peng Diao and Ao Xue's hearts stirred, and they exchanged glances. It seemed they were indeed missing something.
Seeing this, Xu Fang smiled helplessly and with a thought, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda flew out.
Before the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda could enlarge, the little qilin's figure impatiently scrambled out from within, breathing heavily. After a long while, it was finally able to speak.
"Senior, you finally remembered me. If you hadn't let me out soon, I would have been suffocated!"
The little qilin complained to Xu Fang. Although the space inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was vast, after so many years, it had become a bit unbearable.
Jin Chi Da Peng Diao and Ao Xue exchanged glances and smiled sheepishly.
So, they had all forgotten about the little qilin's existence!
"Haha! If you hadn't appeared, we would have truly thought you didn't exist!"
"Sorry, sorry, my apologies this time, and there will be more next time!"
Jin Chi Da Peng Diao and Ao Xue offered their insincere apologies, which naturally displeased the little qilin, leading to a debate and a chaotic argument.
Jin Chi Da Peng Diao and Ao Xue had to put in a lot of effort to finally quiet down the little qilin. They looked towards Xu Fang and found that he had no intention of departing, so they quickly urged him.
"Senior, everyone is here, let's set off quickly!"
"You bird-mouth can't speak good words, what do you mean by 'set off'!"
"Senior, ignore this Bird Brother and Dragon Sister, let's continue treasure hunting!"
Xu Fang, hearing the words of his three little followers, was not in a hurry at all. He waved his hand, stopping them.
"Don't rush yet. To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools. There are still some things to handle."
As Xu Fang spoke, and before Jin Chi Da Peng Diao and the other two could ask, he summoned the Treasure Distribution Rock with a thought.
The Treasure Distribution Rock emitted bursts of light and rapidly expanded, becoming as large as it was when the great powers distributed treasures, except now there were no countless magical treasures shining upon it, and it no longer towered like a mountain.
However, even so, the Treasure Distribution Rock was still colossal, seemingly endless.
"Senior, what are you trying to do?"
Jin Chi Da Peng Diao sidled up and asked curiously.
Ao Xue and the little qilin also looked curious, wondering what their senior intended to do by summoning the Treasure Distribution Rock.
Xu Fang gazed intently at the Treasure Distribution Rock and replied without looking back.
"I plan to use this Treasure Distribution Rock to build a warship. Do you understand what a warship is?"
"Warship?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Chi Da Peng Diao, Ao Xue, and the little qilin looked puzzled and exchanged glances. They had never heard of such a thing as a warship.
However, even as they voiced their questions, Xu Fang remained engrossed, as if deaf to their inquiries, showing no intention of clarifying their doubts.
Therefore, Xu Fang was currently communicating with a host of magical treasures.
However, the magical treasures, including the Treasure Distribution Rock, were just as bewildered as Jin Chi Da Peng Diao and the other two. They had no idea what Xu Fang was talking about.
"Little Xu, my knowledge is limited. Can you explain it more clearly?"
"Exactly, exactly. Master, your ideas are imaginative, but you need to explain them. We truly don't understand what you're saying!"
"This is beyond our scope of understanding. Can you translate it for us?"
Although they felt a mysterious and powerful aura in Xu Fang's description of a warship, the magical treasures still expressed their inability to comprehend his words.
Xu Fang, upon hearing this, knew that these novel concepts were beyond the comprehension of these native Primordial World treasures, and even the great powers of the Primordial World would be baffled.
Thus, Xu Fang immediately changed his approach and transmitted his thoughts to the magical treasures, explaining himself.
"This Treasure Distribution Rock is a Congenital Supreme Treasure, and also a supreme Heavenly Dao Supreme Treasure. It can enlarge, it is incredibly sturdy, and it can carry countless magical treasures, and of course, it can carry living beings."
"Therefore, I want to use this Treasure Distribution Rock as a base to build a warship. A warship, well, it's a large vessel, a large vessel that integrates transportation, attack, and defense."
This was an idea that had subtly formed in Xu Fang's mind since he acquired the Treasure Distribution Rock.
After all, the Treasure Distribution Rock's purpose was merely to carry treasures, or to be used as a blunt weapon. Xu Fang did not want it to be limited to that, as it would be a great waste.
Therefore, Xu Fang planned to modify the Treasure Distribution Rock, making it like Kunpeng's Northern Nether Palace, a mobile dojo.
Given the Treasure Distribution Rock's ability to grow and shrink, like the Northern Nether Palace, this undertaking was certainly feasible.
Moreover, the Treasure Distribution Rock's level far surpassed that of the Northern Nether Palace, making it destined to be even more formidable and unique.
With Xu Fang's explanation, the magical treasures immediately understood.
"So that's how it is. Now I understand. You want to turn it into a big boat, right?"
"No, no, no, Brother Ruler, you're still thinking too small. This isn't just a big boat; it's also a mobile dojo!"
"So, the name 'warship' is truly fitting. What are we waiting for? Let's get started!"
The magical treasures quickly grasped Xu Fang's idea and, by extension, understood what a warship was.
Xu Fang listened to their words with satisfaction, nodding repeatedly.
"Indeed, it is called a warship, but it can also be considered a mobile dojo. I also plan to move the formation of magical treasures onto it, making it truly integrated for offense and defense."
Once they understood the meaning of a warship, the magical treasures quickly grasped Xu Fang's subsequent words.
Indeed, if the formations of the magical treasure array could be replicated beneath the Treasure Distribution Rock, then at Xu Fang's command, they could each return to their positions, instantly forming a grand array. Was this not integrated offense and defense?
Suddenly, the magical treasures became eager. If this could be accomplished, it would be a tremendous boon for them!
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's do it, let's do it!"
As the Liang Tian Chi commanded, the magical treasures surged out of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and landed upon the Treasure Distribution Rock.
Seeing this, Xu Fang also smiled and immediately began directing the magical treasures with his thoughts.
Of course, Xu Fang was not idle either. He also landed on the Treasure Distribution Rock and participated in the modification project.
Instantly, the Treasure Distribution Rock was adorned with the brilliance of magical treasures and surged with spiritual energy, an extraordinary sight.
Jin Chi Da Peng Diao, Ao Xue, and the little qilin watched Xu Fang and the magical treasures busily hammering and tinkering on the Treasure Distribution Rock, their heads filled with confusion.
"Is Senior really going to build some kind of warship?"
"Is this reliable? I feel like he's just messing around."
"Senior, would you like us to lend a hand?"
Although Jin Chi Da Peng Diao and the other two admired Xu Fang's imaginative ideas, having never witnessed a warship before, they were now filled with doubt, unsure if their senior would succeed this time.
