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

Chapter 209: Finally got the frigate Zhen Tao, Lingyuan Well

The two were shocked when they heard this.
Apart from the powerful alchemist from the Nascent Soul faction who has refined longevity pills many times, who would dare to easily say that he has successfully made seven pills?

"How about it, fellow Daoists?"

The old patriarch of the Jian family was aggressive and insisted that the two of them give an answer.

"If Fellow Daoist Jian is truly capable of making seven pills, the extra ones will be yours! But, you can't use any tricks. You need to ensure that at least five of them are genuine pills with normal medicinal strength!"

"As Senior Yin said, my Lin family does not accept any inferior pills, and does not accept any residual pills. My Lin family must choose one first!"

As the actual operator, the alchemist has the opportunity to operate in secret. For example, he can make two standard pills into one fine pill and one incomplete pill. Some clients have such requirements. Similarly, it is not difficult to make six standard pills into seven incomplete pills.
Many skilled alchemists can also do this, so the alchemist's remuneration is often the last choice to avoid loopholes.
"Okay! It's a deal! I swear to the Heavenly Dao..."

Afterwards, the three of them mutually agreed on the details of the terms. All three were medium-sized Jindan forces, so any one move would affect the whole body, so they would not break the contract.

It is better to do it today than to wait for a day.

The old patriarch of the Jian family immediately started to refine the pills and allowed the two to watch. Originally, the two were a little skeptical that the old patriarch of the Jian family could make six pills, but they didn't expect that the old man was really capable.

He used the unique meteorite flames that connected to the earth's core in the Sky Eagle Fairy City to refine the third-level longevity pill. He was as smooth as falling leaves through flowers and flowing clouds and water. He didn't look like he had only refined it twice before. He looked more like a veteran.

"to make!"

The huge alchemy furnace driven by the formation slowly stopped rotating, and seven third-level longevity pills with a subtle fragrance and uniform luster flew out one by one.

"My two fellow Daoists, thank you for fulfilling your mission!"

The old patriarch of the Jian family raised his lips slightly, obviously he had foreseen this result long ago. The several times he changed his position and negotiated conditions before were all for the purpose of getting two longevity pills.

"this…"

A rare furnace of pills produced seven longevity pills, five of which were standard products, the kind that were neither more nor less, and there was no point in choosing the order.

As for the remaining two pills, one has 90% of the medicinal power, and the other has 70% of the medicinal power. It is obvious that the other party's control over refining third-level pills has reached the level of true perfection.

"I admire you! I admire you! I've heard for a long time that Master Jian's alchemy skills are extraordinary, but it's a pity that we didn't have the opportunity to cooperate before. After meeting him today, I can see that he is truly extraordinary. It seems that our two families will have to visit more often in the future."

"Haha~ Please stop praising me,
As long as you two don't curse me, this old man, in your hearts, it will be fine. As for the future, we have to give young people more opportunities. The future will belong to the young people.

Rui'er, why don't you come in and greet the two seniors?"

People are in high spirits when they are happy. The old patriarch of the Jian family stroked his beard while calling in a young descendant who was obviously less than two hundred years old and was at the first level of Jindan.

"Senior Yin, Senior Lin, I, the young man Jian Zirui, pay my respects to you two. I wish you both a long and prosperous immortal path and everlasting happiness!"

As fellow Jindan cultivators, they usually wouldn't perform grand formalities, but Jian Zirui's words were respectful, his attitude was upright, and his feelings were sincere, so the two of them didn't try to avoid him. Accepting this grand gift was also a promise to take care of him in the future.

"Don't underestimate my younger generation. He's not even 150 years old yet, but he's already a third-rank alchemist. His talent in alchemy is far superior to mine. The three families should interact more often, and my Jian family will certainly do its part."

"Young talent! I am ashamed of myself!"

A 150-year-old Jindan is not rare. It is relatively easy for medium and large Jindan forces with orderly inheritance to produce good seedlings. There are even Jindans under 100 years old.
However, there are relatively few people who can simultaneously cultivate to become a third-level alchemist. Alchemy requires a lot of time and energy, and to be promoted to a third-level alchemist requires a lot of resources and comprehension ability.

This shows that this person may achieve something in the future. The two of them dare not underestimate him, and it is very likely that they will really have some cooperation in the future.

The few of them didn't say much afterwards. All three families had more important things to deal with, so they naturally said goodbye and parted ways quickly.

When Lin Haichao and Old Man Yin left at the same time, the Jian family's old patriarch, who had been vigorous and energetic, suddenly became face-dead. It was not his expression that fell, but his energy and spirit that collapsed. He knew he would not live long!

"Grandpa! How wonderful it is that you can enjoy your old age peacefully..."

"Silly child, I have lived peacefully for over 600 years. Isn't this considered a comfortable old age?
I'm using the last ten years of my life to buy you a hundred years of extra life. It's a huge win! Hahaha~

I never thought I would get such a big job before I die!"

For an ordinary third-level alchemist who is not from a Nascent Soul force, refining this special elixir with little refining experience, and making seven pills at once, how can it be done without any cost?
The energy he had spent in the last ten years was the limit of his body, not the limit of the Jian family's alchemy skills. He was very satisfied that he could leave a good foundation for his descendants in the last twilight of his life, and that he had established a good relationship with two forces that were originally unfamiliar to him.

“But I’d rather not have this…”

"Silly child, don't talk nonsense. You are still young and don't know how precious this thing is. The longevity pill is hard to come by. After I die, you should refine it as soon as possible, otherwise I will be missed by others."

"Grandson knows..."

"After this brief encounter, I found that Lin Haichao of the Lin family appears humble and his abilities are average, but he is actually a shrewd and calculating man. I've previously researched the Lin family's development and past dealings, and they seem poised for prosperity. We could make friends with them in the future."

"The Yin family of Blood Killing Bay may seem to be in decline, but they are in a position where they can easily rise to power. Their fate has been rewritten after this. They may be able to restore the glory of their ancestors and make friends in the future."

"Yunchang, who originally dominated the Blazing Sea..."

Of course, there are other Jindan cultivators in the Jian family, but this descendant is the one he personally trained and cultivated, and he is the one he is most worried about.

Therefore, in his final moments, the old patriarch of the Jian family kept reviewing the specific situation of the key forces around Tianying Fairy City, the Western Region, and even the entire four regions of the Inner Sea, and predicted their future development trends.

He told the younger generations what to keep close to, what to keep neither too close nor too far away, and what to keep away from. This is the wisdom he left behind.

Outside the Sky Eagle Fairy City,
Witnessed by the other three Jindan cultivators of the Jian family, Old Man Yin handed over the core control of the third-order frigate "Zhen Tao Ship" and asked Lin Haichao to refine and inspect the goods on the spot.

This thing is the same as the core of the formation in the Immortal City. It is a formation that recognizes people. No one can enter without permission. With Lin Haichao's successful refinement of the Zhentao warship, it announced that the warship had completely changed hands. It became the first warship of the Lin family in the Yulong Islands.
"This warship has protected my Yin family for five hundred years. Now, in the most difficult time, I have to give it up for exchange. I hope that Master Lin will treat it well and it would be best not to change its name. The spirit ship has spirits!" Old man Yin was very reluctant to part with it. He was a foundation-building cultivator and customized this warship when the Yin family was in its heyday. It was for the purpose of patrolling the western section of the Qianxing section of the northeastern defense line.
Although the purpose of customizing it was to safeguard the interests of the Yin family, it was also actually safeguarding the interests of the Thousand Stars race. Now it has to be traded away in his hands. He feels ashamed of his ancestors!

"Okay! Don't change the name! Zhentao is a good name. I hope it can suppress the evil spirits beneath the clouds of the Western Regions!"

As he refined the core of the battleship, Lin Haichao easily felt every corner of the Zhentao warship. Every corner had traces of the Yin family's life and study, which were all traces of the Yin family's inheritance.

If the Yin family had not been unwilling to give up the more important Blood Killing Bay Spiritual Vein, they would definitely not have sold this thing. This matter could be considered a profit for the Lin family.
There is already a big difference between a third-order battleship and a second-order spirit ship. If the third-order ship were not too large, and too many first- and second-order materials were used in its construction, and it was not a whole piece refined as a whole, otherwise the third-order objects could be refined as a whole and stored in the dantian.

"Goodbye, Fellow Daoist Yin, and farewell to all the fellow Daoists of the Jian family. We will have opportunities to communicate again in the future. See you later!"

The third-level battleship is of great importance, and Lin Haichao is not yet proficient in operating it, so naturally he does not want to stay here. He immediately controls the Zhenhai ship and heads towards the Yulong Islands. He will only feel at ease if he drives it back home as soon as possible and studies it thoroughly and masters it completely.

"See you later!"

Watching the familiar Zhen Tao warship sail away, Old Man Yin had no evil thoughts in his mind. Not to mention that there were many cases of deliberate fishing in the world of immortal cultivation, if you chased them, you would be caught. His Yin family made a fortune by slaying demons and monsters, so they simply disdained to have such evil thoughts.
"Fellow Daoists Jian, please go back. I won't break your rules."

Looking at the three members of the Jian family who followed him closely, they said they were escorting him a thousand miles away, but in fact they were just monitoring him.

"Senior Yin, the Western Region is in turmoil. Let us, the younger generations, escort you across the border."

"Alas, this is unnecessary. Mr. Jian should be dying soon, right? Aren't you going back to see him off?"

The three people's faces changed when they heard this, but they quickly adjusted themselves. Today's events had been anticipated when the Lin family came to them. This was also the path chosen by the Jian family, and they would naturally carry it through to the end.

The three of them were sent thousands of miles away, and when they saw Yin's Jindan who was there to meet Old Man Yin, they turned around quickly. They also wanted to go back to see the ancestor for the last time.

Zhentao Ship,
Five hundred years is a long time, but it is not long for a third-order ship. This battleship is actually younger than the White Whale. Due to the Yin family's diligent maintenance, the performance of the Zhentao ship in all aspects is still quite good.

"In this way, the longevity pill mentioned earlier can be completely cleared!"

Previously, the longevity pill was a black commodity and could not be made public. Apart from being secretly traded on the black market and being slashed to a bargain price, it could not be traded openly for other things.
But now that the Lin family has obtained the Zhentao warship, the news that Lin Haichao obtained the longevity fruit in Shuiyunjian is no longer a big secret. It is reasonable for the Lin family to have a longevity pill in their hands. In the future, anyone who makes a deal with the Lin family will definitely keep it strictly confidential. If something special happens, this may be done twice.

"Well, maybe it'll be of great use in the future! This thing is priceless if it meets the right person!"

At this moment, Lin Rongrong and the miniature Carp Dragon Demon King are on board the Zhentao ship. If there are any blind people who dare to hijack the ship, they will never return, which will give the Zhentao ship a good start.

"Is this a Tier 3 battleship? It's known as the culmination of human immortal civilization, a mobile immortal city on the sea, and a weapon that truly widens the gap between us and all other races!"

It was the first time for the Carp Dragon Demon King to board a ship and see a third-order battleship. A third-order battleship is not just big, it can accommodate one or two hundred crew members alone. At a critical moment, it can also pull the entire Lin family away and go wherever it wants with a third-order shell.

Unlike the first and second order spirit ships which must use spirit stones or spiritual power of monks as their power core and are highly dependent on driving energy, the third order ship has a "spiritual source well" at its power core.
As the name suggests, it is the well of spiritual power source. It can directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through the spirit gathering array, and tame and store it in the spiritual source well to be used as the driving force of the ship.
Including the third-level psychic cannon and most other weapon systems on the warship can be powered by the spiritual source well, and do not rely entirely on high-quality spirit stones and the mana of Jindan monks, so daily spirit stone expenses are controllable.

Of course, the Spirit Source Well is not omnipotent. It has its limits in refining and storing spiritual power. When the intensity of the battle increases, it still needs high-quality spirit stones or the mana of Jindan monks to supply energy.

(The pseudo-mana of a fake Dan monk is also fine, as long as it is a tamed power. However, the fake Dan monk cannot withstand the suction, so the fake Dan monk controls functional ships, not warships.)
Compared with other commercial ships, the core of the word "battleship" is "war". The spiritual source well of the battleship is larger and more advanced, and the protective formation is also the best in the same level, so it is called the Fairy City on the Sea.

Even if the formation is broken, its external armor is still made of third-level materials, which has a high fault tolerance rate and is not easy to be sunk.
Of course, its aggressiveness is even more significant. A warship is not equipped with any tools and is built for combat. As long as it is launched, others must take the initiative to make money for it and share in its profits.

"How do we arrange this large ship?"

"Let Da Yan take control, but there's no rush. We need to get the Blood Hunter to the third level first. Only then, as a trinity, can they take on certain tasks. If the Blood Hunter fails to advance, I'll have to take control of this ship."

This time, I successfully exchanged for the dual-attribute demon pill of water and blood. The Blood Hunter has also reached the peak of the second level, and there will be a result soon.

Toot~
The Zhentao ship tried its best to avoid the jurisdiction of other Jindan forces along the way and sailed on the high seas, but the fact that the Lin family had obtained a third-level warship could not be concealed and soon spread in the local Western Regions.

"What? Even the Lin family has a Tier 3 frigate? Why?"

Some Jindan cultivators from more distant forces had not paid attention to details for a long time, and their impression of the Lin family was still stuck in decades ago. They were shocked when they heard the news.

The Western Region does not border the Northeastern Defense Line, so there are very few warships here. The Lin family was originally quite low-key. Everyone only knew that the Lin family had developed well in secret, but no one had ever felt it directly.

As soon as this incident happened today, the Lin family has completely entered everyone's field of vision. Various families have conducted in-depth investigations into the detailed development trajectory of the Lin family over the years.

You wouldn't know until you checked. Once you checked, you found out that the Lin family has turned the ordinary Yulong Islands and Yulong Fairy City into first-class territories over the years. You have to admire the Lin family's ability to make money.

"Interesting! Their policies are quite interesting. It seems that there are capable people within the Lin family. Can our family replicate them?"

"The situation is different, it's a bit difficult!"

“Learn more!”

Fish-dragon Fairy City,

As the Zhentao warship docked, all the free foundation-building cultivators of the Lin family came over. They had only seen the structural disassembly and one-sided introduction of the third-order warship in textbooks and the inheritance in the library before, and today was the first time they had seen it up close.

"Oh my god! Has our Lin family developed to this point? I always thought that the forces that can operate warships are powerful forces that we can't afford to provoke. It turns out that the powerful family is actually me!"

Just as the Lin family was smiling and celebrating the return of the new ship, the news that the old patriarch of the Jian family had passed away soon spread.

"Our family owes the Jian family a favor!"

Lin Haichao was not without experience. When the other party had really completed seven pills, he guessed that the other party was in a state of last gas. If the Jian family had not acted as a broker this time, this matter would not have gone so smoothly.
Although the Lin family has grasped the Yin family's pain point, they may not be able to obtain this extra longevity pill without the Jian family. If the other party really insists on it, the Lin family is likely to make concessions.
