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

Chapter 198: Killing the Son of Fortune and Refusing to Recognize the Master

"Ahem~ I didn't expect... you... could cultivate the three paths of essence, energy, and spirit simultaneously. The power of your spirit and soul... was actually... so exaggerated. I was careless, ahem~"

Lin Qianfan, a second-level body cultivator, had his neck pinched tightly, cutting off the circulation of his meridians. Not only was the young man in Taoist robe unable to speak, but even his telepathic communication was intermittent, leaving him without any means of resistance.

The abbot and his wife finally understood what was going on. It turned out that this new disciple was actually a foundation-building cultivator with ulterior motives. He was lurking around them so easily. It was really terrifying!

"Kill me! Do you dare to kill me? What they... want... is with me. This is both a blessing... and a curse. Do you dare to accept... my fate? Do you dare? Hahaha~"

Through the Beast Taming Contract and Silver Scale's identity verification, Lin Qianfan finally confirmed that this was the real world and he had completely escaped from the illusion.
Seeing the man's madness, Lin Qianfan crushed his cervical vertebrae without mercy, ending his life. At the same time, he tore his dantian and sea of consciousness, and finally forcibly took out an ancient azure scroll from the Dantian Spirit Lake.

After killing someone, it is natural to destroy the body.

Lin Qianfan unleashed the foundation-building true fire on his right arm, completely burning the corpse in his hand into a handful of ashes in his palm. He then sprinkled the ashes into the flowerbed next to him, and used a birth-inducing spell to allow the spiritual flowers and fruits to completely absorb the ashes. From then on, there was no trace of the young man in Taoist robes' physical existence.

Inherited destiny? Backlash of luck? Heavenly punishment?

nonexistent!

The way of heaven is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs!
Before any creature advances to the God Transformation stage, it is nothing but dust or grass in front of Him. How could Lin Qianfan be frightened by someone's words?
The treasure of opportunity is obtained by those who are destined to have it. If one gets a super-level treasure but cannot keep it, it is his own problem, and he cannot blame fate for it!
"Friend Lin, this..."

Although the two monks did not know the specific identity of this man, he must be guilty of a capital crime if he dared to attack Lin Qianfan. When they were trying to argue that this matter had nothing to do with them,

After turning into jade, Lin Qianfan, who was tall and burly with pupils as majestic as a god, turned around on his own initiative and stared at them, making their scalps tingle.

"You two have seen something you shouldn't have seen. Immediately activate your soul defenses and let me erase these memories that shouldn't exist. Life or death is a matter of your own volition!"

Any treasure that can be directly stored in the Dantian by a foundation-building cultivator must be a super-level treasure. When Lin Qianfan found that he could not put the azure scroll into his storage bag, he realized that the level of this thing would be higher than expected, so he needed to deal with these two people immediately.

At this moment, Lin Qianfan's aura was as strong as that of a cultivator at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, and the oppression made the two men gasp for breath.

Of course, they had no choice. Two against one wasn't even a sure thing, not to mention the second-level carp dragon demon staring at them. More importantly, why were they fighting? For a new disciple with a mysterious background and ulterior motives?

Besides, even if they could escape, where could they escape to?

The Lin family only needs to issue a reward to mobilize all the Jindan forces in the Western Regions to help find the fugitive. In addition, the two did not think that they really knew any big secrets. It was just that the matter itself was a little strange. At most, they would lose their freedom. In fact, what freedom did a casual cultivator really have?

So the two of them could only do as they were told and release their spiritual defense.

It is extremely difficult to tamper with the specific memories of a cultivator of the same level. It is not a question of whether or not one can do it, but there are too many loopholes in it. This method cannot be effective for a long time. Often, only high-level cultivators can modify the memories of low-level cultivators.

Lin Qianfan did not try to modify their memories, as this method was not reliable. Instead, he directly used the Great Sun Soul Burning Method to melt away all the information about the young man in Taoist robes in their memories, as if they had never met this disciple a few days ago.

Although this method may cause a little harm to them, it is only a loss of a little memory and not damage to the soul, so it is not a big problem.

To be on the safe side, Lin Qianfan planted a soul-applying spell unique to the Big Sun Visualization Method in their souls to ensure that they would be obedient and stay in Tongle Market as shop owners in the future without revealing any flaws, so that everything can return to normal.

Fortunately, the fact that they accepted this little apprentice was kept secret, and only a few people who frequently visited the garrison knew about it. Lin Qianfan then summoned those who knew about it into the garrison one by one, erasing their related memories one by one and completely erasing all traces of the incident, as if this person had never been to Tonglefang Market.
The identity of the young man in Taoist robes was the most secret in Lingjiao Village. When he was playing under the lamp, he must have deliberately concealed all his whereabouts to reduce his encounters with other people. In addition, there were many places similar to Tonglefang Market in the original Lingjiao Village.

Ordinary cultivators had no idea that there were any remnants in Lingjiao Village, let alone the so-called treasure, so naturally they could not make any connections.

In this way, even if a Jindan cultivator secretly visited various places, he would not be able to find out anything. What's more, Lin Qianfan did not think that the other party would dare to secretly return to the crime scene and stay there for a long time after committing the crime.

After today, Tonglefang Market will still be Tonglefang Market, and there will be no changes from the past hundreds of years. No one cares that an unknown person has disappeared in secret.

"...Once the storm season is over, Tonglefang City can begin its expansion plan. It will become the first important supply point connecting the Yulong Islands to the Blazing Sea, and even a transit point..."

Lin Qianfan and the two of them discussed in detail the optimization plan for Tonglefang City, which can be implemented in several steps. Some policies can take effect today, and some policies need to wait until the end of the storm season to start. Each policy is a reasonable plan based on reality, with the aim of improving the economic activities and output capacity of Tonglefang City. These will allow the Qi-refining monks below to feel the optimization firsthand and make them loyal to the Lin family.

When it was getting dark,

Lin Qianfan refused the two people's request to stay and insisted on leaving.

"While the storm has subsided for the past few days, I need to finalize everything. We still have some distance to go to Qianbao Market, so I won't stop there. I can't let him wait too long, otherwise people will become unstable."

There is only one foundation-building cultivator in Qianbao Market, and it is very likely that it is now facing internal and external troubles. It must hope that the new person in charge will go there as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be able to occupy the entire market alone, so the two owners of the market no longer try to keep Lin Qianfan.

Toot~
As the Wind Rider left the shore, Tongle Market returned to normal. The only change was that this wild market was now protected by a powerful force. The residents of the market felt much more at ease. Subsequently, several favorable announcements were issued on the Tongle Market bulletin board, representing the sincerity of the Lin family.

It was dark.
The Windrider docked at a leeward island reef.
The isolation array of the demon hunting ship is opened, the isolation array of the captain's room is opened, an isolation talisman is crushed, and another isolation spell is cast.

Lin Qianfan used his spiritual sense to repeatedly check the surroundings and found nothing unusual. Then he took out the ancient azure scroll from his arms and carefully explored the use of this treasure.

The ancient scroll was unfolded, and on it was a sea chart.
It was a super detailed sea map extending from the Wind Rider, which included the nearby Yulong Islands, Lingjiao Village, Yundu Island, Yunshang Secret Island, Chirong Island and other nearby spiritual veins.
This nautical chart is so exquisitely drawn, detailed and accurate that it has all the markings of islands, spiritual veins, reefs, ocean currents, mineral deposits, etc. Even the comprehensive nautical chart that has been passed down in the Lin family for two thousand years cannot compare to it.

"Automatically display a detailed chart of the surrounding sea area, centered on your current location? Perfect for long-distance sailing, what a great feature!"

Unfortunately, the axis that should have been on the far left of the ancient scroll is missing. There is an obvious fracture here, which shows that this treasure has been destroyed, and this sea chart is only a part of it.

That's right, the fact that this thing can be stored in the Dantian but not in the storage bag shows that its nature is very high and it is not an ordinary thing. It is a very special treasure. If it were complete, it would not be lost.

Lin Qianfan immediately grasped it and tried to input spiritual energy to refine it, but there was no reaction. It was not the kind of no reaction after being absorbed by the body, but it simply did not absorb any of Lin Qianfan's spiritual energy. It was like a dead fish, without any sense of interaction.
Lin Qianfan tried to probe with a trace of his soul power to see if he could find the core of the treasure and imprint it with his own soul to refine it, but the search was fruitless. After confirming that there was no danger, Lin Qianfan increased the intensity of his soul's exploration, but there was still no response. It was empty inside, like a purely dead object;
Lin Qianfan was still unwilling to give up, so he dripped another drop of his finger blood onto the sea chart to see if there would be any reaction. He tried to refine it with the power of blood. Some ancient treasures in the world of immortal cultivation that had been passed down for a long time required a drop of blood to recognize their owner, but it was still fruitless!
"What the hell!"

If Lin Qianfan didn't know the details of this person, and Lingjiao Village had not been destroyed by bandits, but was just an accidental acquisition, he might really think that this item could only be used in this way because it was damaged, and would choose to give up and use it as a universal nautical chart for sailing.

But on that day at Jingshui Bingyuan, the young man in Taoist robes showed everyone his divine vision that far exceeded the comprehension of the foundation-building cultivators.

Moreover, this was something that Lin Qianfan personally took out from the dantian of the young man in Taoist robes, so this thing must be able to recognize its owner and be refined, it definitely can!
"Don't you recognize me? Are you spiritual?"

Treasures may have spirits. A Jindan cultivator will begin to cultivate the spirit of his own life magic weapon when he refines it.
The reason why the natal magic weapon is called the natal magic weapon is because they are special magic weapons that can be cultivated, can grow with the master, can generate spirituality, and can cooperate with the master to exert stronger power.

The third-level natal magic weapon usually cannot preserve its spirituality after the owner dies and will turn back into an ordinary magic weapon, but it is different for magic weapons above the third level.
Among the fourth-level magic weapons, a very small number are spiritual magic weapons. Even if they have not been refined into life-defining magic weapons or have no owner, they still have spirituality.
If a treasure has spirituality, it will choose a master. This is a two-way choice. A treasure with spirituality is qualified to choose a more talented master, so that its ability can be maximized and even brought to a higher level. After all, treasures can also survive disasters and advance, and even produce spirits after experiencing many disasters.

"Since others can refine you, why can't I? Do you not recognize my talent for cultivation?"

"Since you were so optimistic about him, why did I kill him? Is a genius who can't develop still considered a genius?"

"What are your criteria for choosing a master?"

"Narrow-minded fool!"

Compared with the son of destiny who has natural spiritual roots and a special physique, Lin Qianfan's three spiritual roots are indeed quite far behind. Lin Qianfan needs to work hard to reach the Golden Core Realm guaranteed by his natural spiritual roots.

"As a treasure, you should understand that talent and background can only determine a cultivator's starting point. The starting point is certainly important, but the path is paved by oneself.
I can fight him at the same level, or even kill him head-on at a level higher than mine. Doesn't this prove that my overall ability is stronger?

Even though all my positive forces were cut off in the Yijing space, I was still able to change my fate and rise against the tide. Doesn't this prove that my heart for the Tao is strong enough? "

Lin Qianfan reasoned with it and presented facts to it. If it really had spirituality, it would definitely understand these principles, but it still chose to remain indifferent.
