The ship was a means of transport hired by Fang Tan as he searched for traces of Chen Shi. He was reluctant to walk on the surface of the lake like Chen Shi, nor did he wish to fly across the sky, so he opted to hire a ship instead.
Flying was an activity that drained mana, and traveling by ship allowed one to spare their mana, a naturally leisurely choice.
Draining mana necessitated the replenishment of it, which unavoidably meant absorbing the Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi. However, this qi was mixed with evil qi, and absorbing too much of it increased the risk of one becoming evil.
In the eyes of accomplished cultivators like Fang Tan, there were few matters in this world that required haste. So why rush?
At this moment, however, he channeled his mana to make the small ship soar into the air, heading straight towards Chen Shi.
Fang Tan stood at the bow of the ship, the wind billowing his clothes backward as if he were commanding the wind itself.
