I Start with a Mysterious Island

Chapter 410: Chapter 298: A Slightly Inferior Allure

"Oh." At Su Yue’s urging, Lin Li nodded. He stopped fiddling with the Golden Feather Spiritual Artifact in his hand.

Then, he mobilized a wisp of Spiritual Energy from his Dantian, carefully presenting himself to Su Yue as just an Awakened—one who had found his Spirituality but had not yet become a First Rank Initial Stage Cultivator.

An extremely faint, pale golden Spiritual Light appeared in Lin Li’s palm. If one didn’t look closely, they might not even see this glimmer of light.

"Lin Li, you could actually try a little harder. Who knows, you might accidentally break through to the First Rank Initial Stage and become a Cultivator," Su Yue suggested, looking at the barely visible, pale golden Spiritual Light in his palm.

"..."

’Come on, I’ve already broken through to Second Order High Rank. I’m already a pretty strong Cultivator...’ Lin Li grumbled internally. He didn’t respond directly to Su Yue’s suggestion.

With Lin Li deliberately hiding his strength, Su Yue, who was just an ordinary person, naturally couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary.

Because the Golden Feather Spiritual Artifact had a very low activation requirement, Lin Li only needed to mobilize a sliver of Spiritual Energy to activate the Flying Spiritual Artifact.

HUMMM.

The activated Golden Feather Spiritual Artifact let out a faint vibrating sound. Immediately after, a pale golden Spiritual Light began to appear on its surface.

Once a Spiritual Artifact is activated by its user, relevant information about it appears in the user’s mind.

After this Flying Spiritual Artifact was activated, it could grant its wielder thirty minutes of flight. Once the time was up, it needed an eight-hour cooldown before it could be used again.

The Golden Feather Spiritual Artifact glowed with a pale golden Spiritual Light in Lin Li’s hand for about five seconds before its form changed. Its original solid shape turned into a mass of golden liquid.

This mass of golden liquid quickly sank into Lin Li’s palm. Then, a pale golden light appeared on his back.

In the blink of an eye, a pair of enormous golden wings, woven from pale golden Spiritual Light, appeared on Lin Li’s back.

"Alright, the wings have sprouted. If I remember correctly... you now have thirty minutes of free flight time.

Thirty minutes isn’t a lot of time, so hurry up and fly. Go experience the feeling of soaring freely!" Su Yue said, looking at Lin Li with the pair of golden wings on his back.

"..." Lin Li turned his head to glance at the golden wings on his back and was utterly speechless.

"You’ve got to be kidding me! This Flying Spiritual Artifact gives you flight by... sprouting wings like these? They’re so flashy and shiny, they’re way too conspicuous..." Lin Li said to Su Yue, his expression complicated.

"Su Yue, it’s the middle of the night. If I fly up into the sky with these sparkling wings, won’t tons of people see me? This is way too attention-grabbing."

"Er..." Su Yue raised a hand to brush back a lock of her smooth, silky hair, nodded, and then said.

"They are a bit flashy and attention-grabbing. We should have gone to the outskirts, to a place with fewer people, to use this Spiritual Artifact. That was poor planning on my part!

But the Spiritual Artifact is already activated. If we take a taxi to the outskirts now, we’ll just be wasting the activation time.

Why don’t you just fly around the park for a bit to get a feel for it?

Tomorrow, we can go to the outskirts and find a less crowded place to really experience what this Flying Spiritual Artifact can do."

"There aren’t many people in the park right now, but there are still some. How about we just skip it for today?" Lin Li said. He really didn’t want to attract too much attention and have a crowd of people gather to watch him.

"Oh, come on, we’re already here! Just give it a try! Quick, fly up and get a feel for it before the other people in the park notice you.

After you’re done, we can leave right away before they have time to react," Su Yue persuaded.

"Alright!" Convinced by Su Yue, Lin Li nodded. Then, he raised his head and looked toward the sky.

With a thought, the pair of golden wings on his back, woven from pale golden Spiritual Light, immediately began to beat.

WHOOSH...

As the golden wings flapped, a strong wind howled, blowing Su Yue’s smooth, black hair back.

Thankfully, she wasn’t wearing a skirt. Otherwise, that sudden gust of wind would have most likely exposed her.

WHOOSH...

The glittering golden wings beat a few times, and Lin Li shot straight up into the air, launching toward the sky like a cannonball.

"Ah!" Su Yue, who had been momentarily blinded by the gale, opened her eyes and let out a cry of alarm as she watched Lin Li shoot straight into the sky.

"I forgot to remind Lin Li not to push too hard! I wonder if he can handle going that fast..."

WHOOSH...

A fierce wind roared in his ears as the Flying Spiritual Artifact carried him directly to an altitude of over a thousand meters.

’Slower... no, stop!’ At Lin Li’s command, the golden wings on his back immediately stopped beating, allowing him to hover steadily high in the air.

Looking down, he took in the entire scene: neat rows of high-rise buildings, streets bustling with traffic, and multicolored lights. The beautiful city nightscape unfolded beneath him.

"So beautiful," Lin Li marveled at the stunning night view before him. Then he turned his head to look at the golden wings on his back and muttered to himself, "The flight speed of this Spiritual Artifact is seriously fast!"
