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

Chapter 203: Retire the ancestors for a hundred years, use them for a moment

Lin Haichao then revealed his identity and cultivation level and stated his four exchange targets, which were:

Genuine Golden Elixir (not limited to any recipe)

A fully functional Tier 3 ship (of any type)

Water and Blood dual attribute third level demon pill (can be purchased at a premium for Blood Shark)

Spiritual items that improve the quality of Dan (stable efficacy can be paid at a premium)
And took out five kinds of money that he could use for replacement:

Finished magic weapons that can be directly refined, a large piece of third-level sea-sunken gold that can be used as the main material, a large number of first-, second- and third-level materials that can be directly used in the war, the pure cold pond giant seal demon pill, and the Lin family's specialty "Ambergris Jade Liquid" that can help second-level body-refining cultivators advance to the third level.

There are about one or two hundred Jindan cultivators attending the meeting today, many of whom are veterans who have fought on the bloody front for several years. Logically speaking, they should have all the things Lin Haichao needs.
However, the exchange situation is not ideal. The things that Lin Haichao wants are very rare and everyone wants them. Even those who have these things are unwilling to exchange them for less rare ones. Instead, they want to wait for a higher price and are even unwilling to reveal that they have them.

"Two reasons. My strength is not strong enough, and the things the Lin family can offer are not strong enough."

Lin Haichao was also helpless.
The Lin family still has some face in the Western Regions, and has certain advantages in various negotiations, but in the Thousand Star City, the fourth level of Golden Core can only be regarded as just entering the middle level, and not many people will care about you.

In fact, it’s not that the five things Lin Haichao took out are really bad. These are all hard currencies and are not niche. There are many people who want to buy these things, but basically they want to exchange them for spirit stones or larger but less rare resources.

The Lin family's current financial situation is pretty good, and they only make exchanges for items of higher rarity, so naturally they can only reject these requests one by one.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I have a demon pill with dual attributes of water and blood. It's of pretty good quality and can be used to help a peak-level second-level demon beast break through. It will definitely meet your requirements. How about exchanging it for this Fuling Chain?"

Just as Lin Haichao was about to give up the speaking position to the next person, a somewhat confident voice came.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist, can you let me take a look?"

The exchange of the dual-attribute water and blood demon pills is prepared for the Blood Shark. If the Blood Shark successfully advances to the third level, it can continue to team up with Lin Dayan and participate in many competitions for interests, directly getting rid of the problem that Lin Dayan, who is at the first level of the Golden Core, cannot travel far.

Moreover, the demon king has a longer lifespan. Even if Lin Dayan passes away hundreds of years later, the Blood-Splitting Shark is likely to choose to continue living in the Lin family. It is completely worth it for the Lin family to invest in it to give it a try.

"I'm sorry, fellow Daoist, this isn't the Blood-Splitting Shark Demon Pill. The difference in value between this magical weapon and mine is too great. What do you think of this Cold Pond Giant Seal Demon Pill? I've meticulously refined and purified it, and it's a surefire way to help cultivators with Ice Spiritual Roots form a pill!"

The third-level magic weapon is something that can directly improve the personal strength of the Jindan cultivator. Moreover, this Fuling Chain, a specialty of the Lin family, is a rare multifunctional magic weapon. Anyone who takes it back and refines it can put it into use quickly. It does not affect the attributes or operations.

This is not comparable to an ordinary demon pill that is not absolutely compatible with the Blood-Splitting Shark and can only increase the possibility of promotion by two or three percent. Unless the other party takes out the Blood-Splitting Shark Demon Pill, it is worthy of a premium.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, please look carefully. My Bloodfall Demon King's demon core is full of energy. He didn't even resist when I killed him..."

The man had the fifth level of Golden Core cultivation and was still showing off how he killed the person. It seemed that he wanted to grasp Lin Haichao's needs and pain points, or he might want to use his cultivation advantage to make Lin Haichao accept a premium.

"The beast tide won't end anytime soon, and it might even get worse. I'd better wait a little longer. Maybe I can wait for the Devil Horn Region to take action. I heard there are many Blood-Splitting Shark Demon Kings in the Devil Horn Region."

Lin Haichao interrupted the other party's boastful speech, and said three things at once, which was even a bit offensive. He just hoped that the other party would know when to advance and when to retreat.

"Um... I was reckless. Fellow Daoist Lin, please forgive me. Then I'll exchange it for this piece of sea-sunken gold, a whole piece! Please don't refuse!"

Lin Haichao's rebuttal was a bit harsh on the front-line Jindan, but it also aroused his sense of urgency. This piece of sea-sunken gold was very complete, and there were many things that could be made with it as the main material. He made a lot of money.

"make a deal!"

This piece of sea-sunken gold is the raw material mined from one of the few third-level spiritual mines controlled by the Lin family. The cost is much lower than the market price. All the spiritual chains sold by the Lin family are made of sea-sunken gold as the main material. The cost is low and there is naturally room for movement.

"It's not a wasted trip. It all depends on the fate of the blood hunter."

In fact, Lin Haichao had a hunch that the possibility of the Blood Shark's success was not high, but now it was the Millennium Wave, perhaps it would somehow reduce the difficulty of advancing to the third level?
Just like he was not optimistic about Lin Dayan back then, but Lin Dayan still succeeded. Paper data can only be used as a reference. The road is made by people and is full of uncertainties. Since the family has the conditions, we must try our best to fight for it to avoid regrets.

Lin Haichao stepped down and the next Jindan came up to demonstrate. However, Lin Haichao did not rush to leave like some people. Instead, he continued to sit down and wait to see if there would be any more opportunities later. This kind of exchange gathering does not necessarily result in an immediate transaction. There will also be subsequent transformations, and even private transactions that avoid the organizer.

"...The main ingredient of this Golden Elixir is...only for exchange..."

When forming the elixir, it can be divided into three levels: low, medium and high, totaling nine levels of the elixir. The higher the quality of the elixir, the better the starting point of the elixir realm, the faster the cultivation speed, the fewer bottlenecks, and the greater the possibility of forming an infant.

The more you want to produce a higher quality golden elixir, the better the spiritual objects you need to produce it. Of these, genuine golden elixir is the first choice.
If the Lin family wants to take a step forward and become a large-scale Jindan power, they need to focus on Lin Qianxue's elixir formation. It would be best if she could form a top-grade Jindan after the seventh Jindan transformation, so that she can easily advance to the late Jindan stage.

Once there is someone in the Lin family who can reach the late Jindan stage, it will be much easier for the Lin family to cultivate more people in the late Jindan stage in the future, just like the Wu family in recent generations, who have produced people in the late Jindan stage from generation to generation.

Don't think that the word "Golden Core" directly encompasses this major level. In fact, a major level is divided into at least three circles. It is very difficult for a mid-stage Golden Core to sneak into the late-stage Golden Core circle.
Unless you have a real combat record of defeating/killing a late Jindan warrior at a mid-stage Jindan level and have the corresponding reputation to be recognized, others will not play with you and may even take advantage of you in various transactions. It will be difficult to obtain spiritual items that can help a mid-stage warrior break through to a late-stage warrior.

Therefore, the chief cultivator of any major force is actually under great pressure. It is not as glorious as others think. It is like sailing against the current. If you do not advance, you will retreat. If you cannot get better, you are actually getting worse.

For example, the forces that are barely able to maintain the situation, maintain balance, and remain undeclined in the millennium tide are actually in decline. If they cannot grasp this once-in-a-millennium opportunity, they will suffer a great decline!

It's a pity that by the end of the meeting, the Golden Core had only appeared three times, and all three times were taken out by Wangtian Pavilion itself. The target they sought was also the top-level third-order resources. It was obvious that they wanted to harvest those inferior Golden Core forces with urgent internal situations and plunder their last resources.

"Only three Golden Cores?" "It seems Wangtian Pavilion's harvest isn't very good."

The world of cultivating immortals has developed for countless years, and there are many kinds of recipes for forming golden elixirs. During the Millennium Wave, the difficulty of obtaining the main ingredients of the golden elixir, which were originally very rare, has also been greatly reduced.

As a Yuanying force, Wangtian Pavilion only took out three Jindan for organizing such a large Jindan gathering, which is indeed a bit cheap.

During this period, more than one third-tier ship appeared. One of them was a second-hand third-tier frigate that attracted Lin Haichao very much. It had complete functions and configurations and could be used again after being pulled out. When equipped with a Jindan monk, it would be a very good third-tier combat force.

Although the frigate is only the most basic type of third-tier battleship, a battleship is a battleship. With a Jindan level one, it can chase the demon king of the same level and roam the inland sea without any problems. It is far beyond the reach of commercial third-tier ships like the White Whale.

It's a pity that the other party's requirements are a bit special. He is an elderly man in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, and his family is in a period of continuous decline. The purpose of his visit this time is to exchange for a third-level life-extending spiritual object, and he only wants a high-quality third-level life-extending spiritual object, with the third-level life-extending fruit as the priority.

Lin Haichao did have a third-level longevity pill, but the other party wanted a third-level longevity fruit. Although the effect of eating it was the same, the value difference was huge. Besides, Lin Haichao didn't dare to show this longevity pill to others, and he would probably take it and refine it himself in the future.

In the end, no one could produce a high-quality third-level life-extending spiritual object that could impress the old golden elixir. It was obvious that the problems their family encountered could only be properly solved by keeping him alive, and it could not be solved by adding one or two new golden elixirs.

"What a shame! What a shame! What a rare opportunity!"

There are some treasure houses in the Thousand Star City that can build third-tier ships, but there are only three treasure houses that can build third-tier warships. Their asking prices are extremely high, and the waiting time is many years.

The time period of several decades is too long, and paying the full amount in advance and tying up a large amount of money/resources is too risky. Moreover, the price of ordering a new ship is at its peak now, which is not cost-effective. We can only wait until the wave ends to see if we can order a ship in Chaochun City.

There are quite a few spiritual objects that can increase the probability and quality of forming a pill. The resources for forming a pill that were originally very scarce in the outside world have become relatively common here.

Actually, these things are also used by foundation-building cultivators. In the eyes of Jindan cultivators, their rarity is just so-so. Lin Haichao also took the opportunity to get some of them, including the Ambergris Jade Liquid and the Cold Pond Giant Seal Demon Pill in his hand, which were also exchanged.
Unfortunately, there are not many spiritual objects that can significantly and stably improve the quality of golden elixir. These things are often treasured by medium and large golden elixir forces and kept for their own top-level golden elixir seeds.

What Lin Qianxue needs are naturally these spiritual objects that can significantly improve the quality of Danjie, rather than ordinary ones, but the Lin family currently cannot produce anything equivalent to them, so they can only sigh helplessly.

In the end, although Lin Haichao did not get the things he wanted most, he exchanged out all the things he brought with him, and all of them were exchanged upwards.

A large amount of war supplies were exchanged for high-grade spirit stones, which could be used as reserves for third-tier ships, third-tier formations, and Jindan cultivators;
The Fuling Chain was replaced with a top-grade third-level refining material, which was more precious than sea-sunken gold and could be treasured as a family heritage for a long time.
The Cold Pond Giant Stag Demon Pill is specifically for ice attributes, and can replenish the essence of the weakened ice spirit roots, replacing them with superior pill-forming spirit objects;

The Lin family's specialty, Ambergris, was producing quite well, but it was no longer useful to a Level 3 mid-stage Carp Dragon Demon King. The percentage of body cultivators in the Storm Ocean was low, making it less sought after. However, it did yield a lot of valuable items that the Lin family could use.
"Although there are regrets, basic expectations have been met."

Genuine Golden Elixir, third-order ships, and special Golden Elixir spiritual objects all require time and opportunity. Fortunately, Lin Qianxue is still young and has decades to wait, especially since there is still great uncertainty behind the Millennium Wave, so it is not impossible to get them.

When the meeting is over,
The remaining Jindan monks disguised their whereabouts and evacuated, especially the few who revealed their wealth but were only at the early Jindan stage.
Even though the Thousand Star City has been constantly emphasizing public security and has severely punished some people, public security incidents still occur frequently. Since this concerns one's personal path, there will definitely be many people who want to take risks and then run away.

Lin Haichao was fine. Although his fourth-level Jindan cultivation was not high, it was already very high in the Jindan period. Moreover, he had nothing worth others' attention, and he had no deadly grudges.

"Old man, let's go!"

The Carp Dragon King met up with Lin Haichao, and then as usual, he went deep underwater and sneaked towards the Fish Dragon Islands.

Not long after he left the Thousand Star City and entered the Western Regions, he received a special message from the local Golden Elixir of the Western Regions.

[Inland Sea...Western Region...Whirlpool Sea...Shuiyun Gorge...Open!]

"The secret realm of Shuiyunjian in the Whirlpool Sea has been opened? Old friend, it seems we have to go there ourselves!"

The master and servant immediately sent a message to the locals of the Ichthyosaur Islands, emphasizing:

[Keep a low profile! Reduce your influence!] Then, he turned around and headed towards the Whirlpool Sea in the northern part of the Western Region.

The Whirlpool Sea is located at the junction of the Western Region and the Northwestern Region. It is a very famous forbidden area in the four regions of the Inner Sea. Although it is a forbidden area, it is not a very dangerous place where people will die.
Rather, it is because the ocean currents and surges here are extremely special, making this area unsuitable for mortals and low-level cultivators to survive, and therefore unable to support normal local forces, that is why it is a forbidden area.

There are no normal local Jindan forces, but there are some niche Jindan forces, such as the Iron Sword Sect that only accepts sword cultivators, the Spirit Puppet Sect that studies puppets, and the Sea Condition Island that studies ocean currents.

They follow the elite route and do not need a mass base, but these are ultimately a minority, and the vast majority of others are still in the no-man's land.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are some vicious fugitives or powerful demon kings hiding there. During the beast tide in recent years, they have been wiped out several times for various reasons.

Shuiyunjian is a third-level secret realm in the Whirlpool Sea. It is different from the large third-level secret realms such as Yunjinlinhai, which are extremely dangerous and have many deaths but can produce resources for forming infants.

Shuiyunjian is an ordinary third-level secret realm that has been basically explored by our ancestors. Its danger level is limited, and the main thing is to be on guard against humans. It only produces conventional second- and third-level resources, and no fourth-level resources, so it cannot attract those extremely evil late-stage Jindan cultivators.

Since Shuiyunjian is a safe third-level secret realm discovered by local ancestors, the four regions of the inner sea have long had a convention that only local Jindan forces can participate in it, and Jindan cultivators from the outer sea, Thousand Star City, and other fourth-level regions are excluded.

Whirlpool Sea,
Only with the vision of a Jindan cultivator and looking down from a very high altitude can one understand the meaning of the word "vortex". The entire vortex sea is a super large vortex. The ocean currents are sucked in from the surroundings and then randomly erupted to any place in the vortex sea.

This kind of erupting surge may not be able to harm any Jindan cultivator, but it is still very dangerous to the foundation-building cultivator. If it touches them, they will be seriously injured, and if they are below the foundation-building stage, it will be an extinction disaster.

The reason for the formation of the vortex sea is still unclear. There may be a special fourth-level spiritual vein underneath. But since it is still here and has not been dealt with by the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Thousand Star City, there must be a reason for its existence.
