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

Chapter 169: Sharing Heaven's Grace, Golden Elixir Ceremony

No regrets after the elixir is completed,

The world of immortal cultivation has not yet heard of any method that can dissolve one's own golden elixir without any harm and then condense a higher-quality golden elixir.

“This is really young.”

Lin Dayan, who originally looked old and serious, was corrected to a middle-aged appearance by the power of time, and he rarely smiled.

The golden elixir is immortal,

When the Golden Core is successfully formed, the appearance corrected by the power of time can often be maintained and it is difficult to age further because the twilight years of Golden Core cultivators often come very late.

In addition, Jindan cultivators can now adjust the age at which they manifest themselves at will, but most people are still accustomed to natural manifestation and are unwilling to waste mana to maintain their appearance.

God's grace is great,

The golden rain continued to fall, although it was getting smaller and smaller, but Lin Dayan's absorption had reached its limit ahead of time, and some of it could not be absorbed and overflowed, so he looked at the ancestor who was protecting him.

"Ancestor..."

"Can!"

Lin Haichao understood and raised his hand to grab the Eighth Master who was watching the ceremony. In addition, several other Qi-refining cultivators of the Lin family did the same and were all sent under the golden rain by the ancestor.

They had all suffered rare Taoist injuries, and ordinary healing methods were no longer effective. It wasn't that they were truly incurable, but that the cost of treating them was too high and too troublesome.

The golden rain is a blessing from heaven and earth, and it has miraculous effects. It can wipe out all injuries below the third level without any difficulty.

Among them, except for the Eighth Master who was in the Foundation Establishment stage and could absorb a little more, the others who were in the Qi Refining stage were completely healed after just one drop.

"Thank you, Old Ancestor, thank you, Third Master!"

All the chronic illnesses were gone, and the bottleneck that had troubled Mr. Ba for many years began to loosen. He immediately sat down cross-legged to seize the opportunity to break through.

Seeing that there was still rain and dew, Lin Haichao took action again and pulled out more than a dozen Qi-refining cultivators from the Lin family who had suffered lifelong disabilities due to various reasons, and sent them under the rain and dew of heaven.

It is not impossible to repair the limbs of a Qi-refining cultivator, but it is still the same problem. The cost of healing is too high, so it is better to just provide them with retirement care. But today's opportunity can solve the problem once and for all.

Watered by the golden rain, the disabled Qi-refining monks’ broken limbs were regenerated and they regained healthy bodies.

"I can see now? That's great. Thank you, Old Ancestor, for your mercy. Thank you, Third Master, for your kindness. Thank you~"

An old man who had been blind for half his life due to an injury regained his sight and returned to the world of colors, and was very grateful.

The Qi-refining cultivator had a huge disability problem and could not absorb much golden rain and dew. Lin Haichao took action again and took Lin Qianfan, who was watching the ceremony, up.

"How much you can absorb depends on your luck."

Without having time to say any words of thanks, Lin Qianfan immediately practiced his skills to absorb the golden rain.

This kind of rain and dew not only has the function of healing wounds, it is itself a kind of opportunity. It can cure diseases and nourish personal foundation even if you are not sick. However, there is no uniform standard for how much a cultivator can bear.

The small amount of excess that the Third Master could not absorb was also a great opportunity for the Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The grace of heaven entered his body, cleansing his flesh inch by inch. The minor scars that Lin Qianfan had never noticed were smoothed away one by one, and most of the remaining ones gathered in the small lake of spiritual power under his dantian.

This heavenly rain and dew is not spiritual power, so it does not dissolve in the spiritual power lake, but sinks directly to the bottom without any sound.

Lin Qianfan's carrying capacity still had its limits, and he was unable to completely absorb the remaining water. When the auspicious clouds gradually dissipated, it was too late for the next person to take over. The remaining golden rain and dew seeped into the Yanglongwan spiritual vein under his feet without anyone's permission, nourishing the land.

"Thank you, Grandpa, for your appreciation, and thank you, Third Master, for your kindness!"

Lin Qianfan, who had just finished his work, expressed his gratitude as earnestly as everyone else.

If he really wanted to talk about his personal feelings, Lin Qianfan only felt that his physical condition had improved a little, but it didn't seem to be of much use.

But Lin Qianfan knew that the golden liquid deposited in the small lake of spiritual power had become a kind of foundation for him, a special foundation that would allow him to pursue higher quality pills in the future.

...

With such a big happy event happening in the family, the monster hunting trip at sea was put aside for the time being, and instead all efforts were focused on preparing for the Golden Elixir Ceremony.

For the Jindan forces, it is very important to have a new Jindan monk. The Jindan ceremony cannot be sloppy.

This is not only a declaration to the outside world that one's inheritance is orderly and prosperous, but it can also be used as an opportunity to achieve more cooperation.

A few days later, on the day of the Lin family's Golden Elixir Ceremony,
The specially decorated and joyous Yanglong Bay welcomes guests from all over the world, and is packed with distinguished guests and good friends.

Unlike the Lin family in the past, the current Lin family's high-end combat power can be ranked in the upper middle level in the entire Western Regions, especially the performance of the Carp Dragon Demon King in the battle on the Molten Island has been widely recognized.

Therefore, the Yanglong Bay dock was filled with various second-level spirit ships that came to participate in the Golden Elixir Ceremony, and there were even some third-level ships.
Among them were acquaintances and familiar neighbors. The status of their visit was relatively high. Some were Jindan cultivators who came in person, while others were Foundation Establishment cultivators who led a team to present a rather valuable gift.

There are also forces with which they had only casual interactions in the past, and were only in regular contact, but not familiar with each other. In fact, they have long wanted to further cooperate with the Lin family, but there has been no suitable opportunity. The purpose of their visit today is to improve the diplomatic level and promote certain cooperation.

In addition, there are some forces that have had almost no interactions before, but are coming to visit for the first time today. Some of them are newly emerging Jindan forces. They are polite to everyone, and there are also those like the Tianying Jian family who come from far away to interact with them.

The Western Regions is very large, with dozens of Jindan forces. Of course, it is impossible for all of them to come, unless the Lin family’s strength can be further improved.

"Brother Jian, it's been two years since we last met. I hope you are doing well!"

"How are you? Brother Lin, have you reached the second level of foundation building? I'm so ashamed. I'm still stuck at the peak of the initial stage and can't make any progress. I don't know when I can break through. I might be surpassed by Brother Lin soon. I'm really ashamed."

Tianying Fairy City is located at the junction of the Western Region and the Southwestern Region, which is far away. The Jian family is powerful and travels between the two regions and has extensive friends. Jian Huaijin once had interactions with the Lin family, so he appeared in this visiting team.

"Brother Jian, don't underestimate yourself... What about your aura?" "Ah~ To be honest, I failed to break through with the realm-breaking pill a few days ago. There are some sequelae, causing my aura to be unstable. I need to consolidate it for a few years."

For the Jindan forces, although the second-level breakthrough elixir is precious, it can often be supplied as long as there are clan members to exchange it. After all, the foundation-building cultivators are the key nodes for the actual operation of the Jindan forces.

However, not everyone can leverage their strength to break through in one go. Most foundation-building cultivators have already exhausted their potential when they succeed in building their foundation. Their subsequent practice becomes as slow as a turtle, and it is very difficult to break through.

"With Brother Jian's strength, failure once is just a coincidence. You will definitely succeed next time!"

"I'll lend you some good words!"

Monster hunting monks often practice in desolate places. This kind of practice in adversity is a kind of consolidation. In addition, fighting against strong enemies is also a way of consolidation. Failure to break through should only be temporary.

The two then continued to communicate, became familiar with each other again, and strengthened their relationship. Jian Huaijin also explained the purpose of his trip at the appropriate time.

It turned out that the Jian family wanted to buy part of the Lin family's resource output in the hot molten mine, but the two families were too far apart and had no formal interactions before, so this matter was never discussed.

"I'm not sure what the family's current arrangements are. If it hasn't been redeemed yet, the Jian family will definitely be given priority. I'll help you inquire about this matter later and make an agreement as soon as possible."

Lin Qianfan is not the one in charge of this matter, so he dare not make any guarantees.

"Thank you, Brother Lin. Please help me make this happen."

The Jian family had naturally done some investigation before coming. The Lin family’s share in the Chirong Island was not small, but not many minerals were actually brought back to the headquarters of the Yulong Islands, only about one third. The rest needed to be sold on the Chirong Island and bought with other resources to be brought back.

The part that needs to be sold has not yet found a suitable buyer. The Jian family's goal is to establish a stable cooperative relationship and purchase this part for a long time. They have complementary advantages with the Lin family.

Lin Qianfan found Elder Xiancheng Tao, who was in charge of this matter, explained the situation impartially, helped them agree on a specific time to discuss the matter in detail, and then let the matter go.

Naturally, there is more than one buyer. From a business perspective, the Lin family needs to consider many aspects before making a decision.

Guests from all parties arrived and the Golden Elixir Ceremony began.
Lin Dayan went through the process to become the third supreme elder of the Lin family, and enjoyed the corresponding offerings and various treatments of the Lin family's Jindan cultivators.

His original ranking in the foundation-building sequence was given up, and the others moved one place forward. Lin Qianfan went from being the Fourteenth Master to the Thirteenth Master.

However, these are the names that the younger Qi-refining elders use to address the Foundation-building elders. Foundation-building cultivators can still address each other however they want. For example, when Lin Qianfan calls him "Jiu Ye", he is still referring specifically to Jiu Ye.

"The so-called Qi Refining... While the foundation is certainly important, if you blindly trust it and ignore your progress, you'll miss the opportunity..."

Lin Dayan preached to the younger generation as usual, starting with the cultivation concept of the Qi Refining Realm.
The Qi Refining Realm cultivators who were able to attend the Golden Elixir Ceremony were all from the Yanglongwan tribe and some core members of the Lin family in Xiancheng, so Lin Dayan explained it in great detail, using the perspective and perception of a Golden Elixir cultivator. As for how much they could absorb and benefit from it, it all depended on their personal fate.

The foundation-building monks from other forces in the Yulong Islands were also listening carefully, recording the content in jade slips and Xiying beads, intending to take them back as part of their family inheritance.

"The so-called foundation-building... one should be diligent and courageous, forging ahead without hesitation..."

The content of Lin Dayan's sermons is more inclined to prioritize realm. One should first achieve a higher realm. After reaching a realm, it will be easier to obtain various resources. After having resources, one can go back and make up for the foundation. As for whether it can be made up, that is another matter.

I would rather take the wrong path than stand still!
Especially for ordinary monks who have no one to back them up, if they don’t fight hard, don’t take a risk, and don’t take out all their capital to gamble, then they will never get ahead!

The path to success is the right path!

Since Lin Dayan can take this path and achieve the Golden Elixir, others can do the same, but he is not responsible for any results.

In addition to theories and concepts, he also talked about some details and techniques of cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Realm, which can help the participating Foundation Establishment cultivators to find out the gaps and solve some personal questions. The local Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Yulong Islands basically benefited a lot.

"Three levels of Dan formation..."

The final focus of Jindan's lecture is how to achieve Jindan. Those who aspire to achieve Jindan are all fully focused, fearing to miss any details. After all, there will be a gap between the recording and Jindan's personal teaching.

However, in public, new Jindan masters often keep some reservations, and the core details will only appear in their own inheritance.

Jin Dan finished his sermon.

Some people were enlightened and gained a lot, some were scratching their heads and gained nothing, but most people, whether they were being sincere or not, looked thoughtful and cast grateful glances at Lin Dayan.

"Have you chosen a Taoist name?"

The last part is the signature program of the Jindan cultivators. Since it is a rare occasion for everyone to get together, they will naturally talk about their own things. During the meal, Lin Haichao asked about Lin Dayan's personal Taoist name.

"Not yet."

"Then let's pick one today. Do you have a Taoist name in mind?"

Stepping onto the Golden Core Realm is a crucial step on the path to enlightenment. As the saying goes, "My destiny is in my own hands, not in the hands of God," this refers to the Golden Core cultivators who have survived the heavenly tribulation.
Most Jindan will choose a Taoist name in addition to the names given by their parents and elders, and use this new Taoist name to carry their personal destiny, and the old name is rarely mentioned.

"Mo Zhu!"

"Okay, let's call him Mo Zhuzi! It suits you very well. I just hope you can keep it after you reach the Golden Core stage!"

Lin Haichao is Lin Dayan's elder and is also stronger, so he can be directly called Mo Zhuzi. Lin Dayan can also modestly call himself Mo Zhuzi, but the younger generation or other Jindan cultivators who are not as strong as him must respectfully call him Mo Zhu Zhenren, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

As for Lin Haichao's Taoist name,

Local forces generally have a representative Taoist name. For example, the Lin family of the Yulong Islands naturally has the Taoist name "Yulong". When outsiders talk about "Yulong Zhenren", they often refer to the oldest Lin Haichao.

When a force has multiple Jindan cultivators, they often take their own Taoist names. Therefore, it is a bit difficult for Lin Dayan to inherit the Taoist name "Yulong". Lin Rongrong is not much older than him. After Lin Rongrong inherits it, he will not be able to wait any longer.

Just when the Jindan exchange was about to end and the Jindan cultivators were about to return home in high spirits,
The Jindan representative from the Yunshang League stepped forward and took the initiative to invite everyone to go to Yunyan Fairy City on the Yunshang Secret Island to participate in the third-level auction during the Mid-Autumn Festival one month later. He even took out a list of some of the auction items.

"this…"
