Sea Cultivation: Giant Ships and Heavy Artillery Knock on the Door to All Races

Chapter 162 News about the True Golden-winged Eagle (Part )

Jian Xingzhu originally thought that the captain of the medium-sized ship should be a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, but he didn't expect that he was only at the first level of foundation building.

That's even more terrifying!

Lin Qianfan can control a medium-sized monster-hunting ship by himself at the first level of foundation building, and it is obviously a new ship. His status in the Lin family must be very high, otherwise he would not be valued so much.

"I've long heard of the great name of the Tianying Jian family. Seeing you today, Fellow Daoist Jian is indeed brave and skilled in battle!"

When you are out there, you always like to say nice things.

As for the Jian family in Tianying Fairy City, there are only a few records about them in the Lin family. After all, Tianying Fairy City is located at the junction of the Western Region and the Southwestern Region, far away from the Yulong Islands, and there is no intersection.

According to the agreement between the two parties,

Lin Qianfan accepted the two bodies of the spiral-tailed fish monster, and the other party also paid an additional fifty medium-grade spirit stones as a token of gratitude. As for the task of exterminating the spiral-tailed fish monster, it could only be transferred after they returned to Chirong Island together.

Overall, the Wind Rider had picked up a big bargain, but the other party was also lucky to have encountered misfortune. As long as the monster hunting ship did not sink, it could be repaired and used again after returning to the fairy city.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, can you sell me the head of this fish monster?"

Seeing Lin Qianfan taking out the demon pill, Jian Xing asked tentatively.

"What kind of deal are you talking about? I'll just give it to you. It will also comfort the deceased boatman of the Jian family."

"Fellow Daoist Lin is so righteous!"

Although the fish head is not very valuable after losing the demon pill, it can still be sold for some money. Lin Qianfan's move is considered generous.

After pulling the other party's monster hunting ship back, Lin Qianfan asked:

"Fellow Daoist Jian, do you know how many missions recently released by Blazing Immortal City contain serious errors like this?"

The Wind Rider does have a high fault tolerance rate. Even if it unfortunately encounters an opponent with superior strength, it can use spirit stones to support the formation and evacuate. However, this is not necessarily the case for the other weaker monster hunting ships in the family, especially the Heng'an, whose captain is weak and the monster hunting ship has low configuration.

"I didn't hear much about this kind of thing last month, but as far as I know, this month, including my case, is the fifth, including two shipwrecks. The news from Blazing Immortal City is too brief."

The person who releases the news does not necessarily have to be the official from Xiancheng, but can be any force that has obtained the cooperation of Xiancheng. Now Xiancheng is short of staff, and these news are rarely verified professionally, and the risks are uncontrollable, but if someone tells you in advance that the news is not guaranteed to be true.

"Five?!"

"That's normal. After all, you can't always get the easy jobs. There's a lot of good and bad people here these days, so it's normal to have some risks. I can only pray that I don't run into any."

Then the two of them walked and talked along the way, getting to know each other's power situation and becoming friends.

"I heard that Sky Eagle Fairy City is rich in raptor monsters. Why doesn't Fellow Daoist Jian have an eagle beast?"

The other party expressed envy of Lin Qianfan's second-level spirit beast several times, and Lin Qianfan also raised this question.

If the Jian family really has an eagle beast with good talent and reasonable price for sale, I would see if I could bite the bullet and get one. Then, with the trinity of land, sea and air, one ship would be like an army.

"Alas, my family did assign me an eagle beast, but its talent was limited and it failed before reaching the second stage. Although I later had sufficient funds to train a new spirit beast, the strong bond I felt was gone. I couldn't accept the separation from my comrades, so I had to let it go."

Although humans and demons generally sign master-servant contracts, they can easily become brothers or fellow Taoists after working together.

If one day, one of them falls behind or dies, it is actually a sad thing. Especially sentimental people may not be willing to continue to contract with spirit beasts.

"Does the Jian family sell high-quality second-level eagle beasts or high-quality seedlings?"

“How high quality?”

"There must be at least a hint of potential to become a third-level demon king."

Lin Qianfan’s minimum requirement is a third-level bloodline, which is okay if it’s a little weaker. Resources and training can make up for some of the shortcomings, but at least there must be such a possibility.

"My Jian family hasn't cultivated a new third-level Eagle King since the last Eagle Ancestor passed away three hundred years ago. How could we possibly sell a seedling with the potential to become an Eagle King?"

"It's a pity!"

Lin Qianfan expressed regret.

"Is Fellow Daoist Lin really interested?"

"Really, I'm in need of a flying monster to make up for the lack of air power."

Lin Qianfan, who had seen the crow beast Baiyu and the eagle beast Bald Eagle, felt that his ship really needed a flying monster, which could make up for many shortcomings. For example, he would not be so passive next time when dealing with flying monsters like the Seraphite Beast.

"I do know a place where you can capture high-quality wild eagle beasts, but it depends a lot on luck and personal strength."

Jian Huaijin, who had gained some recognition for Lin Qianfan, mentioned this.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Jian is willing to tell me about such a great place?"

"It's not a big secret in our area. Like I said, it requires both luck and skill to succeed. Most people just wander around aimlessly."

"Please enlighten me, fellow Taoist!"

"Have you ever heard of the Sky Cliff?"

"A cliff of wind in the western region near the Thousand Star City?"

"Indeed! Deep within the Sky Cliff lives a special kind of golden-winged eagle, a true golden-winged eagle that is far more majestic than the common golden-winged eagles. They are born to ride the wind and can enter and exit the Sky Cliff at will, while foundation-building cultivators can only try their luck outside, and..."

Given his good impression of Lin Qianfan, Jian Huaijin did not ask for any benefits and directly told him everything he knew.

"A real golden-winged eagle! It won't violate any taboos, right?"

"No! There are many people in Thousand Star City who are looking for this monster. What taboo can a mere first or second level eagle beast commit? Unless you can raise it to the fourth level of the demon king realm, it will be noticed by others, but don't dream of that."

The ordinary golden-winged eagle is the weakened bloodline of the real golden-winged eagle. Although it looks similar, it is smaller in size and has a huge gap in combat power and cultivation talent at the same level.

This True Golden-Winged Eagle seems to be connected to the true master of the Storm Ocean, a being that controls over two-thirds of the Storm Ocean's territory, a being of Rank Five that can overlook the entire Vast Ocean World. "The Sky Cliff, the Wind Cliff, the Golden-Winged Eagle—you must go see them if you get a chance!"

Who wouldn’t want to own a divine eagle that can harness the power of the golden wind?

It’s just that Lin Qianfan is a little weak now, so it’s a bit too ambitious for him to want to capture the second-level golden-winged eagle directly.

The big ship pulled the small boat, and the two boats slowly rowed to the temporary dock.

"Now that we're here, let me help you get to the Xiancheng dock."

Help people to the end and send them off to their doorstep.

"Then we have Fellow Daoist Lao Lin!"

Jian Huaijin was not polite either.

As the Wind Rider approached the Blazing Immortal City, Lin Qianfan's communication jade slip began to vibrate continuously.

It turned out that the other three monster-hunting ships from Yanglong Bay had all arrived, and even most of the monster-hunting ships from Yulong Fairy City had come. Instead of staying at home and doing nothing, it would be better to try their luck in Chiyan Fairy City.

However, after unloading the cargo, they did not stay at the dock waiting for the Wind Rider, but instead accepted the mission and went out.

Lin Qianfan continued to leave them messages via the jade slips, explaining the dangerous situation that the Jian family's monster-hunting ship had encountered and suggesting that it would be best for them to operate with two ships in coordination.

Two ships can take on two tasks at the same time and complete them together. This not only ensures the success rate of the tasks but also ensures safety to the greatest extent. As for the wasted time, it is secondary.

After sending the people to the dock and completing the mission, Lin Qianfan withdrew a certain amount of spirit stones from each crew member in advance to give them a two-day holiday to rest while waiting for the other ships in Yanglong Bay to return. They would then team up with whoever they met.

As for whether the boatmen will spend money recklessly?
They are all adults and should have the power and ability to manage their own money. Even if they squander it all, they can still get most of the remaining money when they return.

Blazing Immortal City,

The newly built Chiyan Immortal City is clearly divided into two architectural styles.

The "old city area" that was originally preserved in the Chiyan Immortal City is the core circle, the restored/newly built inner city area is the second circle, and the newly expanded outer city area is the third circle.

One circle within another also symbolizes the class division and strict hierarchy of the Chiyan Immortal City.

"Look, look, they are all from..."

"Recruiting workers, Blazing Construction Team is recruiting Earth-type..."

"Invest in Yunshangmeng-authorized chain stores..."

"Notice of outsourcing for the plantation in District 11 of Blazing Island..."

It has been more than a month since the collapse of the hot cave in late autumn. The number of people coming and going in the fairy city has been increasing, and most of them are people who come here from the surrounding seas to find a way forward.

Some of them have already seized the opportunity to initially change their destiny, while others are still confused.

However, the construction and improvement of the Immortal City and the development and maturity of the Chimolten Island are changing day by day. It won't be long before all passages are completely blocked.

Just like getting from the outer city to the inner city requires passing through an invisible but insurmountable isolation formation.

The Lin family has now also bought property in Chiyan Xiancheng (several shops) to make it easier to inquire about some important information here.

The Lin family had no plans to set up operations here before, after all, the distance was too far. But now that they have a large piece of land on Chirong Island, things are different and need to be managed and supervised.

However, the "senior brother" really guessed the way the Lin family handled this land. The Lin family did not send many people to actually manage it, but instead a few supervisors were brought by the foundation-building cultivators.

The plan is to transform the entire area into spiritual fields after the shallow mineral deposits on that land are developed, and then divide it into pieces and lease it out.

Let the local spiritual farmers, spiritual planters, and plantation owners take care of the land themselves, and the Lin family only needs to share the fruits directly according to the growth cycle and the average market share.

These high-quality outputs do not even need to be brought back to the Yulong Islands. They can be directly sold to those in need by leveraging the convenience of the Fiery Immortal City's location, which connects multiple Jindan forces at the same time.

Two days later, all the boatmen returned.

The old boatmen who have families and have settled down basically did not spend any money. They just went to see this new fairy city and bought some local specialties for their families to take back later. After all, they were not allowed to get off the boat every time for maintenance.

The young boatmen, who had limited concentration and were experiencing the colorful world for the first time with money in their pockets, spent a lot of money, and some even spent all their money.

There are many ways to spend money, but Lin Qianfan doesn't care. This may also be a test for them.

Anyway, this time the voyage lasted a long time and the harvest was good, so in the end everyone got a lot. Even when Lin Qianfan and Yin Lin hunted the second-level monsters, they got some soup to drink.

Toot~
What the Windrider finally waited for was not the Sea Hunter or the Heng'an, but the Dolphin piloted by Mr. Ba.

"You make a lot of sense. We're all unfamiliar with the place, so we should travel together. Profit is secondary, safety comes first."

Although the Dolphin is a small ship, Mr. Ba is at the peak of the third level of Foundation Establishment and his strength is not weaker than Jian Huaijin. It is very suitable for him to cooperate with the Wind Rider.

And what's left is for Sea Hunter to play with the Heng'an.

The two ships then took on two missions with similar destinations on the same route from Chiyan Immortal City.

"It's a pity that we came too late. The bounty is not high anymore. I heard that in the beginning, one task cost nearly 180 medium-grade spirit stones."

"It was only for the initial period, and then it dropped very quickly."

There are many ship owners who think that they have nothing to do in winter.

With the recent arrival of more and more demon-hunting ships and the decreasing number of imminent threats, the bounty for ordinary second-level commissions has dropped very low.

Generally, there are only thirty or forty medium-grade spirit stones, and simple ones may even only have ten or twenty spirit stones. However, it is better to have the Immortal City provide information than to go out and try your luck on your own. However, now the real profit has become the prey itself, rather than the additional bounty.
