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

Chapter 174: Bundling and selling Yunshang League, gaining a new route

"Sorry, sorry, I've kept you waiting for so long. Let's move on to the second half of the auction!"

The host, who re-entered the auction house, looked radiant and exuded joy from the inside out, leaving the attendees puzzled.

What happened? Is there some great news? Could it be?
"The next item is a bit special. Fellow Daoists, please think carefully before bidding. It's best to communicate with your own faction before bidding. Once the deal is made, there will be no regrets!"

Oh? What's so special about this lot? Even needing to discuss it with the powers behind it? The same question crossed everyone's mind.

"Special Lot, Sheep Family Land: Golden Sheep Fairy City!"

As the auction host solemnly called out the items to be auctioned, cast a spell to condense a map of the Yunchang Secret Island, marked the specific location of the Golden Sheep Fairy City on the map, and emphasized that he was not joking, everyone was shocked and stood up suddenly.

"What? Golden Goat Immortal City?"

"Fellow Daoist Wu, are you kidding? Is this true?"

"Where are the people from the Yang family?"

"This...this is too fantastical!"

"Could it be...Could it be that Alliance Leader Wu has successfully formed a fetus?"

In comparison, the local Jindan forces in the Western Regions were slower to pass on the news of what happened in the Thousand Star City, but they still figured out the truth, otherwise the Yang family would not have sold the fairy city.

"I'm not kidding! It's true!"

The Yang family entered the scene in the middle stage of Jindan to ensure the authenticity of the matter.

"Congratulations! Congratulations to Alliance Leader Wu on achieving Nascent Soul!"

All newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators within the jurisdiction of Thousand Star City will go to Thousand Star City for development. This is a tradition, and only the spiritual vein conditions there can meet the cultivation conditions of Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Nascent Soul forces cannot easily interfere with the development of local forces, otherwise the local forces will never be able to make a name for themselves. Therefore, the current behavior of the Yunshang League has explained everything.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

The Jindans then realized that the purpose of this auction was different from what they had thought. It turned out that the Yunshang Alliance had already made preparations.

Even if some people hated the Yunshang Alliance to the core and hoped that Wu Daoyi would fail in his tribulation and wait to see him make a fool of himself, they still had to offer their blessings devoutly, fearing that any sign of displeasure would be noticed.

"Thank you all for your congratulations, fellow Taoists! Let's continue!"

After Wu Daoyi advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, the Yunchang Alliance had to move to the Thousand Star City. The Yunchang Secret Island alone could not support a Nascent Soul force, so they needed to make some backup plans.

Even if they can no longer easily interfere with local forces in the future, they will not easily give up their ancestral business that they have run for thousands of years. At least they will make a lot of money.

"Everyone, start making your bids. Just whisper to me!"

The Yunshang Secret Island, which has been run by the four major families for thousands of years, is naturally not so easy to obtain, nor can it be bought directly with money. It can even be said that almost no one can afford the price.

What the Yunshang Alliance really wants are four die-hard "lackeys", die-hard lackeys who have worked for them for more than a thousand years in exchange for a chance to replicate the path of the Yunshang Alliance in the future.

Yunchang Secret Island is the largest third-level island in the Western Regions. Even if it is placed in the Thousand Stars Eight Regions, it belongs to the first echelon. It is one of the best springboards for the Jindan forces to smoothly upgrade to the Yuanying forces. Even if it means being a dog for others for a thousand years, it is worth a try.

However, not everyone is eligible to participate in the auction. The Yunchang Alliance needs die-hards who are neither too strong nor too weak. It would be best if they have the ability to defend and operate the Yunchang Secret Island for a long time, but they cannot replicate their promotion path too quickly.

Their ideal die-hards are those who have two or three Jindan cultivators in the clan, preferably one of whom is in the middle Jindan stage. In this way, the four major families together can have more than ten Jindan cultivators to maintain the clan.

As the representative of the Lin family, Lin Haichao admitted that he was tempted for a moment. There are five immortal cities on Yunshang Secret Island. Apart from the largest Yunyan Immortal City which the other party did not mention, the remaining four immortal cities are also of considerable size.

After all, the huge size of Yunshang Secret Island is here, and the internal industries can be connected to each other. Any of the four fairy cities is larger and more prosperous than Yulong Fairy City.

If they could obtain one of them, the Lin family's current pursuit might not be able to change from stabilizing the middle stage of the Golden Core to stabilizing the late stage of the Golden Core, and they might even be able to aspire to the path of the Nascent Soul in the next thousand years.

However, considering the special origin of the Lin family, it is not suitable for the Lin family to move away from the Yulong Islands, and one can only feel regretful.

Although he felt regretful, Lin Haichao still showed expectation and desire on his face. Common sense should not be violated, otherwise others will notice that you have something to hide.

However, the Lin family is quite powerful nowadays. Even if they are willing to take over part of the Yunshang Secret Island, the Yunshang Alliance may not agree. If they are too powerful, they will be difficult to control and it will affect the balance. What they want is a situation where the four major families check and balance each other, preferably with a weaker foundation.

The Lin family already had a complete heritage when they appeared in the Western Regions two thousand years ago. They could not see through it and were unwilling to provoke it.

After a brief moment of shock, all the Jindan cultivators immediately took out their own unique encrypted communication methods to send messages to their respective forces, informing them of Wu Daoyi's successful infant formation and discussing the Yunshang Alliance's bundled auction.

The Jindan cultivators who stayed behind in various forces were all surprised. The withdrawal of the Yunshang League from the Western Regions meant that the current situation in the Western Regions would undergo another drastic change. There would definitely be another major reshuffle at that time. They just didn't know whether their forces would end up sharing the food or being shared at the table.

Soon, the Jindan forces received the results of the negotiation and made their offers to the Yunshang Alliance, showing their respective advantages.
The deputy leaders of Yunshang League were selected from the best, taking many issues into consideration.

For example, their original relationship with the Yunchang Alliance, their Taoist origins, their recruitment sequence, their family's own potential, etc., and finally four forces of similar strength were selected to help them transition to the Yunchang Secret Island.

"Congratulations! Congratulations to the four fellow Taoists for obtaining the precious land!" The Jindan people congratulated him insincerely, but they were thinking in their hearts how their forces should benefit from this incident.

"Next up is the auction of Yunyan Fairy City!"

It is natural that the Yunshang Alliance would not agree to let new successors inherit their legacy completely, otherwise the selling price of just over a thousand years would be too much of a loss, and they would inevitably create a new behemoth. If there were new Nascent Soul cultivators, their interests would be diluted.

Therefore, the Yunshang Alliance dismantled some of its original industries and will not transfer them to the four major families. The largest piece of cake is Yunyan Fairy City and its affiliated Yunyan Lake.

"Yunyan Fairy City is located in the center of Yunchang Secret Island, connecting the upper and lower parts of the Yunchang River, and governing the entire Yunyan Lake. It accounts for nearly 30% of the profits of Yunchang Secret Island, so..."

Yunyan Fairy City also needs to recruit lackeys. They plan to replicate the three-legged tripod model of Guanlan Fairy City and hand over Yunyan Fairy City to three inferior Jindan forces for joint management.

This is equivalent to dividing the Yunchang Secret Island into five blocks and seven forces. They each have their own interests and ambitions, and it is impossible to raise Nascent Soul cultivators in a short period of time.

The lower-rate Jindan who were just here to make up the numbers had little capital and were unable to make connections, but suddenly they felt like they were struck by luck.

Even if it is only one-third of the Yunyan Fairy City, it is more prosperous than the fairy cities of many low-ranking Jindan forces, not to mention that it also has the naturally rich Yunyan Lake and convenient water transportation and geographical advantages that can connect with the other four fairy cities.

This is a natural city of production and trade!
If they could find a way to get rid of the other two families that monopolized Yunyan Fairy City, they would definitely become the number one force on Yunshang Secret Island, and then it would not be impossible to unify the other four major families.

For a time, the inferior Jindans made offers one after another, made various promises to the Yunshang Alliance, and stated their own advantages.

Zhang Chaoyang also meets the conditions for competing. The Zhang family is in the third conscription sequence, he is young and has a sufficient lifespan, and is a low-level Jindan force. However, after a little consideration, he gave up. Zhang Chaoyang has his own pride and ambition.

The family has been passed down from generation to generation, and has worked hard to govern the country, not to be a dog for others. At the very least, Zhang Chaoyang wants to restore the family to the glory of three golden pills decades ago, and must not easily get involved in endless fights.

After receiving bids from many parties, the Yunshang Alliance selected two small Jindan families and a Jindan cultivator who came from overseas with his family.

"The auction continues! Next up is a long-distance route, a high-quality, third-tier route that runs twice a year from Thousand Star City via the Western Regions, the Silent Sea, and on to Morning Spring City."

As the largest force in the Western Regions, and the largest force built on business, the Yunshang Alliance naturally has a large number of high-quality third-level industries.

After it was upgraded to a Nascent Soul force, the dozen or so Golden Cores it has now are actually too few, and it is destined to take over the new distribution of benefits from the Thousand Star City in the future.

Therefore, the original industry will only retain a small number of the best quality ones, and the other sub-optimal ones can be sold at high prices.

"You can have this!"

Lin Haichao immediately became interested when he heard this.

The route that the White Whale is currently running is not a high-quality route, especially the upcoming beast tide will inevitably increase the operational risk of the White Whale. At that time, the inner area of the defense line may not be safe, and the business may even be stopped to avoid risks.

The route from the City of Thousand Stars to the City of Morning Spring does not require such risks. It is much safer and more profitable because it is a complete route rather than having passengers transfer halfway.

(The City of Chaochun is not a defensive immortal city. It is adjacent to the City of Thousand Stars, and there is an uninhabited sea area, the Silent Sea, between the two.)
Lin Haichao gave the quote through voice transmission, but his body moved.

Even though there are more than fifty Jindan cultivators participating today, apart from those who do not meet the requirements, only a few forces are qualified to participate in the bidding for this route.

In terms of strength, the Lin family is the strongest among them now. After the Yunshang Alliance leaves, the Lin family will be even stronger in comparison. The other Jindan have to give them face, and the Lin family successfully took over this high-quality route.

"It would be nice if there were still third-tier ships."

Lin Haichao thought so.

The Lin family has been developing well since the separation, with a lot of spirit stones surplus every year, but there is no large expenditure. The breakthrough pills exchanged for Lin Rongrong and the spirit objects consumed by Lin Dayan were all zero-cost businesses, and the Lin family has sufficient consumption needs.

Unfortunately, among the dozen or so high-quality industries subsequently released by the Yunshang Alliance, there was no trace of third-order ships.

In today's market, second-level spirit ships are in great demand, and third-level ships are the top-tier of the top-tier. If the Yunshang Alliance doesn't sell them, the ships can be taken away and they will keep them for their own use.

Lin Haichao also did not interfere in other industries. On the one hand, it was inappropriate because the distance was too far. On the other hand, he needed to return the favor appropriately when others gave him face, otherwise it would be too ugly.

“…The mountains are high and the roads are long, but the path to immortality is evergreen!”

The entire auction lasted for a day and a night. Not only because there were so many items for auction, but also because the Jindan cultivators communicated very quickly and spent more time on weighing and discussing.

In the end, almost all the participants gained something, and nearly half of them left satisfied. Only seven people who successfully photographed the five immortal cities of Yunshang Secret Island stayed. They needed to sign some further agreements with the Yunshang Alliance, which was none of other people's business.

Some showed off their wealth, some were weak, and the time points and methods of leaving Yunshang Secret Island were different. They were all afraid of being targeted. After all, many people from outside the sea had come to the Western Regions in the past month, and some of them were not among the invitees today.

Moreover, the way people in the outer sea act is somewhat different from those in the inner sea, so I’m afraid they haven’t changed their ways yet.

Lin Haichao was not afraid. A big water monster jumped out of the sea and swallowed him in one gulp, then went home via the underwater waterway. Unless the enemy was a bad guy, no one would go to the bottom of the sea to rescue him.

Among those who left, the three people from Guanlan Fairy City all looked unhappy. It was not because of the gains from this trip, but because the fact that Wu Daoyi of Yunshang League successfully conceived a baby had a huge impact on them.

Although the situation in Guanlan Fairy City is different from that in Yunshang Secret Island, the Qi family and the Wu family have many similarities. The success of the Wu family stimulates the Qi family, and now the situation inside Guanlan Fairy City has become weird.
