A-Wu happily spent her days cultivating and reading.
When the day of her trip finally arrived, she only carried a small bag on her back for appearances. Everything else was stored inside her storage artifact.
This time, A-Wu even brought nutrient drinks with her. She planned to save as much money as possible. After all, prices on Capital Planet were definitely much higher than on Azure Star. Everything there was bound to be expensive!
After feeling sorry for her wallet for a moment, A-Wu said goodbye to Dandan and took a public flying car to the space station where she would board her spaceship.
The flying car was fast and smooth, and it did not make her carsick.
In her previous life, A-Wu had always gotten motion sickness on buses, so she silently gave the interstellar public transportation system 365 thumbs-up.
There were only a few people in the flying car, and it made very few stops along the way.
Before long, they arrived at the space station.
It was A-Wu’s first time seeing a space station, and she was just as stunned as she had been the first time she saw the entrance to Bixue Palace!
The styles were completely different.
One belonged to the world of immortal cultivation, while the other was filled with futuristic technology.
Yet both were equally magnificent and breathtaking.
A-Wu followed the crowd into the space station.
The boarding procedure was extremely simple and convenient. She only needed to scan her electronic ticket and walk through a security gate.
A-Wu had already looked up a travel guide on the Star Network.
This scanning gate was the space station’s only security measure. It could detect almost all prohibited items carried by passengers, even things stored inside spatial devices.
When A-Wu first learned that the interstellar world also had storage devices, she had been surprised for quite a while.
After searching the Star Network, she finally learned that so-called spatial devices were actually small folded spaces created by space-type ability users using their abilities.
They could be used to store things, but they could not preserve fresh food, and they were incredibly expensive!
When A-Wu saw that spatial devices could easily cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of credits, she nearly pounded her chest in regret.
She deeply regretted how lazy she had been back then.
Why hadn’t she learned artifact refining?!
What an incredibly useful skill!
A-Wu immediately became dissatisfied with the prices of the pills in her shop.
She decided that after getting her pharmacist certification, she would add a custom pill service to her shop.
As for the price…
At least several hundred thousand credits to start!
By then, she would have so many credits that her hands would hurt from counting them, and energy stones would pile up like little mountains…
Ah~
Just thinking about it made her happy!
A-Wu waited cheerfully in the departure lounge.
Her spaceship would leave in an hour, and passengers could begin boarding in half an hour.
A-Wu sat in a chair specially designed for human comfort and comfortably opened the newly purchased pharmaceutical encyclopedia.
Recently, she had found interstellar versions of many medicinal herbs commonly used in the cultivation world.
Once she returned from Capital Planet, she could buy them and test them to see exactly how effective they were.
A-Wu was so focused on studying the information that she did not realize she had already become the center of attention in the waiting lounge.
After successfully reaching the first level of Qi Refining, A-Wu had undergone a simple process of cleansing and strengthening her body.
Although the process had only cleared away a small amount of impurities, it was already enough to make her exceptionally attractive.
Her delicate skin, fair with a natural rosy glow, was completely different from the porcelain-white skin produced by modern cosmetic treatments.
And her beautiful, expressive eyes seemed both affectionate and distant.
Whenever her gaze shifted, people could not help feeling:
If only she were looking at me…
A-Wu casually brushed her long, raven-black hair, which fell over her shoulders like a cloud, behind her ear.
It was just an ordinary movement.
Yet she had no idea how many hearts she had stirred with it.
The men in the waiting lounge began to grow restless.
All the passengers here were traveling to Capital Planet.
The men were eager to approach the beautiful woman.
If they succeeded, perhaps they could even enjoy a beautiful romantic encounter during the next seven days of the journey!
The first person to act was a human man whose appearance and clothing were both among the best in the room.
He straightened his slightly loose tie, stood up, and walked confidently over to A-Wu.
Putting on what he thought was an elegant, charming smile, he asked,
“Beautiful lady, may I sit beside you?”
A-Wu hated being disturbed while reading.
Without even looking up, she simply replied politely,
“Go ahead.”
The man’s first attempt had gone badly.
A hint of frustration flashed through his dark green eyes.
Pretending to be casual, he rolled up his sleeve, revealing the spatial device on his wrist that had cost him more than two million credits.
Then he sat down beside A-Wu and asked,
“Are you going to Capital Planet for business, beautiful lady? My family lives there. If you need anything, you can always ask me for help~”
The man was quite proud of himself.
Housing on Capital Planet was unbelievably expensive, and only wealthy people could afford to settle there.
More importantly, the extremely high citizen contribution score required to immigrate to Capital Planet was enough to discourage most people.
That was why many people dreamed of marrying someone from Capital Planet.
Through marriage, a person’s household registration could be directly transferred to the planet where their spouse was registered.
A-Wu had not expected to meet someone so enthusiastic.
Having grown accustomed to the cold atmosphere of the cultivation world, she looked up in surprise at the man beside her, who looked like a typical playboy.
Only then did she remember to release her spiritual sense and scan him.
She immediately sensed a strong desire coming from him.
A-Wu finally understood.
At the Qi Refining stage, she could not completely conceal her aura.
The natural charm of the Bixue Palace cultivation technique was also being displayed without restraint.
Did this man come over because he was attracted by my charm?
A-Wu swept her spiritual sense around the waiting lounge.
She discovered that quite a few men had been attracted to her.
As a female cultivator of Bixue Palace who had lived there for so long and had never been with a man, A-Wu found this rather interesting.
This was the first time she had experienced the effect of the charm built into her cultivation technique.
However, she still had no interest in dual cultivation.
So she directly refused him.
“Thank you, but I don’t need any help.”
After being rejected twice, the green-eyed man felt too embarrassed to remain there.
Seeing that A-Wu had no intention of paying him any more attention, he soon stood up and left.
The other men saw that he had been rejected so bluntly and no longer dared to approach her recklessly.
Being rejected in front of so many people would be incredibly embarrassing~
A-Wu paid no more attention to them and continued reading her materials.
Some distance away to her left, two beautiful women had originally been watching the green-eyed man.
When they saw A-Wu reject him so decisively, they could not help moving closer together and whispering to each other.
They were sisters.
The older sister had long hair reaching her waist and a gentle, soft appearance.
The younger sister had short hair that reached her ears and a much more striking beauty.
Before A-Wu appeared, these two sisters had been the center of attention in the entire waiting lounge.
Their porcelain-white, flawless skin, enhanced by cosmetic treatments, was especially eye-catching.
The sisters had come on this trip specifically to find a wealthy sponsor, so they were quite pleased with themselves.
They felt that all the money they had spent on full-body cosmetic treatments had not been wasted. After all, it had come from their previous sponsor.
But everything changed the moment A-Wu entered.
Almost everyone’s attention was drawn to her.
The sisters had seen plenty of beautiful women in their line of work, but this was the first time they had ever seen someone whose beauty was so natural and flawless.
They were clearly on completely different levels.
The sisters did not even consider A-Wu a rival.
Instead, the younger sister excitedly whispered to her older sister,
“Sis, I think that woman is definitely going to reject him!”
The older sister smiled gently but answered without hesitation,
“Of course she will. A woman who looks like that would never be interested in a man like him. If she wants someone, she should be looking for someone in first class.”
The younger sister nodded in agreement.
Both sisters wore generous and elegant smiles.
After spending several years in the world of wealthy patrons and social gatherings, they were skilled enough that no one could tell they were gossiping.
This time, they had booked economy class.
It was better than standard class, but still nowhere near first class.
Fortunately, many of the public areas on the spaceship were shared by all passengers.
They would naturally have plenty of chances to find someone once they boarded.
A-Wu had originally planned to book standard class.
But after taking a closer look, she discovered that standard class was basically one huge room filled with individual sleeping pods!
She immediately upgraded to economy class.
At least she would have a private room where she could cultivate.
She had brought all her energy stones with her this time.
She was planning to make an attempt at reaching the second level of Qi Refining!
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Following the announcements from the space station’s central intelligence, A-Wu stood up and prepared to board the spaceship.
The spaceship was huge, and the journey was extremely long.
Naturally, passengers could not be expected to walk all the way to their rooms.
The space station provided two-person flying boards.
Passengers only needed to step onto one and scan their electronic ticket in the designated area.
The flying board would automatically take them directly to the door of their room.
Riding the flying board gave A-Wu the feeling of flying on a sword.
Before entering the spaceship, she looked up at its enormous exterior.
At first glance, she felt that the spaceship looked a little like an upside-down frying pan.
A gigantic, ridiculously oversized frying pan.
This designer’s sense of beauty is seriously questionable!
The flying board took her through a direct passage and brought her straight to her room.
A-Wu scanned her electronic ticket and entered.
Inside was a simply decorated private suite.
It was not very large, but it had everything she needed.
A-Wu took out the things she would need over the next few days and put them away.
She took a shower and changed into a comfortable white cultivation robe.
Simple defensive, dustproof, and temperature-regulating patterns had been embroidered with silver thread along the front, cuffs, and hem.
The robe looked elegant yet mysterious.
A-Wu casually took out a delicate jade hairpin from her storage artifact and tied her hair into a bun.
She looked at herself in the mirror and felt extremely pleased.
In her first previous life, she had already been more on the glamorous side.
In her previous life in the cultivation world, the original owner had also had striking facial features.
After cultivating the Bixue Palace technique, her appearance had eventually become even more beautiful and sharp.
But honestly, that had never really been A-Wu’s preferred style!
She liked her current pure and beautiful appearance.
Even though the cultivation technique had added a slight touch of allure to her eyes and features, it did not stop her from admiring herself.
In the future, things would be wonderful!
She could finally wear all those beautiful fairy dresses she had collected from the cultivation world.
She no longer had to worry about looking strange in them!
After resting for a while, A-Wu followed the map of the spaceship’s living areas that she had downloaded from the passenger terminal in her room.
She wandered down to the restaurant on the lower deck for dinner.
The economy-class ticket included three meals a day.
A-Wu certainly was not going to ignore perfectly good meals and eat nutrient drinks instead.
She had never been the type to make herself suffer unnecessarily.
The restaurant was not far away, so A-Wu did not bother taking a flying board.
It was still early.
By the time she leisurely reached the restaurant, there were only a few people inside.
A-Wu chose a quiet corner.
She picked up a plate of food that looked delicious, a glass of fruit juice, and two pieces of dessert.
Then she sat down and happily enjoyed her meal.
In A-Wu’s heart, the two things that should never be neglected were cultivation and good food.
If someone asked her, “What about alchemy?”
She would definitely answer:
“Alchemy itself is a form of cultivation.”
After finishing the fairly tasty meal, A-Wu let out a melancholy sigh.
Before her transmigration, she had even supported a young female cultivator who specialized in food cultivation.
Every day, A-Wu provided her with all kinds of cooking ingredients so that the girl could cultivate and improve her skills.
All because A-Wu wanted to taste the legendary delicacies of the cultivation world.
But now, she had no idea which bastard had ended up benefiting from all that.
What a waste!
And what a shame about all those ingredients.
She had worked so hard refining pills to exchange for them!
