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

Chapter 211: The fourth level of foundation building, and then bathing in the grace of heaven

Since the Blood Shark failed to break through and needed to wait for the next opportunity, the family would not easily let Lin Dayan go out to take risks.
In addition, the family needs to select first- and second-level shipbuilders for the Zhentao ship and design the puppets required, so the Zhentao ship does not plan to sail out for the time being, but will be docked at the dock for maintenance from beginning to end, and will also provide training for second-level shipbuilders, formation masters, weapon refiners and others.

As for the subsequent arrangements, the family planned to have Lin Haichao open the business temporarily until either Blood Shark or Elder Tao successfully ascended to the next level. The current market situation was such that as long as the business was opened, profits would be generated.

Especially now that some secondary routes from Thousand Star City to Chaochun City have become increasingly uneasy, a Jindan mid-stage cultivator driving a third-order frigate to escort the fleet can gain a lot of benefits.

Lin Qianfan's cave,
In winter, Lin Qianfan can choose to continue hunting in the scorching sea, but now that he has solved his personal financial problems, he no longer needs to spend so much time going out to make money, but can spend more time improving his abilities.

It is worth mentioning that the Western Regions recently opened a new, rather large, second-level secret realm, which is called the "Suikun Secret Realm".
The Ruokun Secret Realm is in a different situation from the Linglong Secret Realm. It has not been developed much yet. It is a new secret realm that has only appeared a few times, so it can still produce a large number of rare gold and earth spiritual objects.
Although the output is good, it is only of the second level, and because they are not familiar with it and it is full of uncertain dangers, many Jindan forces did not send their own people in.

Instead, they sold their quotas to independent cultivators or distributed them to the foundation-building forces under their command. The Jindan forces didn't care if they died in there, as they did it voluntarily. However, they had to hand over a portion of their gains and the maps they had explored.

Even with these restrictions, there are still people who sign up enthusiastically, because this is a rare opportunity for them to improve. It is precisely because people will die in the secret realm that they have this opportunity. The large foundation-building forces all understand this truth, and they are unwilling to miss the millennium wave.

The Lin family was doing well, so they naturally didn't need to gamble on luck, and they chose to distribute the quotas. Several adventurous foundation-building forces from overseas bravely accepted the reward.

"This 'Taibai Xuanjin Jue' is truly powerful! I've never seen it before!"

This was the top-level fourth-level technique inheritance that Lin Haichao personally sought from the Cardinal Pavilion of Thousand Star City based on Lin Qianfan's specific spiritual root attributes. It has now been handed over to Lin Qianfan.
With Lin Qianfan's memory and knowledge, he still admired the generosity of the Cardinal Pavilion and the brilliance of this technique.
This is a simplified version of the fourth-level martial arts method, which was disassembled from the fifth-level martial arts method. In other words, it can be connected to the fifth level all the way up. This simplified version is more exquisite than all the martial arts methods Lin Qianfan has ever seen.
It is not only a book on Qigong cultivation, but also covers a complete sword system, a magic system, a physical strength system, a foundation-building secret method, a pill-forming secret method, and even an infant-forming secret method. However, the key part of the infant-forming secret method at the end is missing. It is obvious that the Cardinal Pavilion deliberately blocked it.

"What a cunning fellow!"

The Great Qin Dynasty in the previous life was a highly centralized power system. It was very strict in terms of high-level inheritance. Those who did not make great contributions could not even think of obtaining high-level inheritance. It would not easily allow its subjects to become Nascent Soul cultivators without control.
The basic situation in Storm Ocean is different. The people of Storm Ocean need to maintain their existing territory, resist the constant encroachment of the demons, and constantly replenish new Yuanying cultivators to help share the pressure of defense. Therefore, these advanced skills can be given directly.
But the meaning of not giving you the subsequent fourth-level part is also very obvious, that is, to force you to beg him in the future. One more powerful Jindan cultivator cannot affect the situation in the Storm Ocean at all, but one more powerful Yuanying cultivator can affect the local direction. If you want to go further, you need to negotiate conditions, and you may even be controlled by him.

"There doesn't seem to be a better option at the moment, so we can only take it one step at a time."

Forceful control should be impossible. After all, there is a heart demon tribulation in the Nascent Soul Tribulation. How can one pass the heart demon tribulation if being controlled by someone forcefully?

It should be a negotiation of conditions, which requires giving up some interests or signing unequal treaties. The Lin family's status is still low, and they can only have a partial understanding of these things and can only cross the river by feeling the stones. But Lin Qianfan is not afraid. At worst, after reaching the peak of the Golden Core, he can use the Vast Sea Spirit Guide to find wild high-level inheritances, and then go to other places to form a baby.

It is relatively simple to switch to a new technique. The Taibai Xuanjin Jue is a comprehensive gold-attribute sword technique inheritance that completely covers the Gengjin Sword Jue.
All the meridians originally opened up by the Gengjin Sword Technique were preserved, and only some more needed to be opened up on this basis. The original spiritual power also basically did not leak out, and 99% was retained.

"Fortunately, I didn't even fall to the second level of foundation building. It seems that my previous foundation was indeed solid enough!"

The total amount of spiritual power cultivated by Taibai Xuanjin Jue in the Qi Refining Realm is not much more than that of Gengjin Jian Jue, otherwise Lin Qianfan would not be able to condense thirty-six drops of liquid to the limit to build the foundation, but there is a gap in the foundation building realm.
Originally, Lin Qianfan's cultivation progress was from the third level to the fourth level of foundation building, and he had already gone a long way, about a quarter, which was equivalent to more than two years of practice. However, due to the supplementary practice, the difference was cleared again, and now he has just entered the third level of foundation building. This is the benefit brought by the practice.

"A more advanced technique can cultivate more powerful spiritual power and lay a deeper foundation. This will bring you closer to the ninth level of the Golden Core!"

Nine is the number of the extreme. The nine transformations of the golden elixir can comprehend the minor supernatural power in advance. Not only can it possess super strong combat power, but it can also increase the possibility of forming a fetus. This is also the ultimate goal of Lin Qianfan's foundation-building stage. According to the current plan, this goal is two steps closer.

One step is the deeper foundation brought by the top fourth-level technique, and the other is the special secret method of forming a pill that comes with this technique:
【Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Pill! 】

After practicing this technique to the sixth level, which is the late stage of foundation building, you can try to refine the embryo of a magic weapon in advance, and refine the embryo of a natal flying sword named Taibai Sword.
Then, before impacting the golden elixir, try to refine the Taibai Flying Sword in advance, so that it can enter the quasi-magic weapon state in advance. When the elixir is formed, you can let it feed back to the host and integrate the sword energy into the golden elixir to achieve a little help.
Then, when it is going through the thunder tribulation, protect it and help it successfully upgrade to a magic weapon, and even allow it to absorb more grace from heaven, supporting each other.

"clever!"

……

Time flies, four years later
The Millennium Tide, which was originally predicted to be coming to an end, not only did not end, but even broke the conventional eight-year time convention. Now it has been the ninth year, but there is no sign of it stopping.

"The fourth level of foundation building! The middle stage of foundation building! I finally made it!"

After changing the technique, although it requires the accumulation of more spiritual power, the upper limit of the body's endurance has also increased. The time required to go from the third level of foundation building to the fourth level is still the same as predicted.
As for the small bottleneck that should have been stuck before the fourth level of foundation building, it did not block the way and was broken by Lin Qianfan with just one poke. It stands to reason that as long as the foundation is solid enough, it is normal to rarely encounter bottlenecks.

"I even saved a realm-breaking pill!"

Although Lin Qianfan knew that he would most likely not be stopped by a bottleneck, he still prepared a breakthrough pill as a backup to avoid wasting time and hurting himself due to failure in breaking through the realm.

Things like the Realm Breaking Pill need to be taken in advance when in the Qi Refining Realm to prevent accidents, but after the Foundation Establishment Realm, every detail can be precisely controlled, and it will still be in time to take it when needed.

In four years, in addition to Lin Qianfan who had just broken through, Yin Lin was one step ahead and reached the middle stage of the second level ahead of time. However, this small level promotion could not effectively benefit Lin Qianfan, who had a solid foundation. At present, it seemed that only a large level promotion would do the trick.

Having learned from the failure of the Blood Shark's advancement, Yin Lin intentionally eliminated all alien powers when absorbing the Ice Crystal Chilong Demon Pill, strictly following Lin Qianfan's requirements to absorb only what he had.
And they must be sorted and proportioned according to their importance to ensure that they are not top-heavy or put the cart before the horse.

Its subsequent plan is to continuously strengthen the main attributes and gradually eliminate unnecessary secondary attributes, because the purer the power, the easier it is to pass the higher level. It would be best if only the water attribute of the five elements and the dragon bloodline were needed in the end. If the dragon vein is well developed, it will have abilities such as wind, rain, and thunder.

After a few days, Lin Qianfan completely stabilized his realm and mastered the mid-level power.

"It's almost time, let's go!"

Yulong Fairy City, the Lin family's land,
It was still the same group of people from four years ago, but the protagonist this time became Elder Tao from the Lin family in Xiancheng. Elder Tao formed a pill today.

Back then, he had been waiting for the Blood Shark's advancement with great anticipation. If he could reach the peak of the ninth level of foundation building before his own breakthrough, he felt that his chances of success would be at least half a percentage point higher.

But reality dealt him a heavy blow, his expectations were dashed, and it even sounded a wake-up call for him. This made Elder Tao, who had originally planned to take advantage of the wave to form a pill as soon as possible, calm down and think about all his shortcomings, and continue to consolidate his foundation to make up for the shortcomings.
Now that four years have passed, he feels again that he really has nothing to add. Even if he waits for the Millennium Wave, it may end at any time and he cannot wait any longer, so he has reached the current situation.

Elder Tao's conditions are actually better than those of the Third Master back then. He is not a monster hunter, but a family manager. Although he is not young, he is well maintained and has no hidden injuries or damage. He also has a mental advantage.
The current situation of the Yulong Islands and the Lin family is much better than when Lin Dayan was forming the Dan. This is where his confidence comes from. Aren’t confidence and courage similar positive forces?
"The robbery cloud is coming!"

As a strange aura of a newly promoted Jindan cultivator emanated from Elder Tao's retreat, the Heavenly Dao immediately detected the abnormality, and the originally snowy weather instantly changed to a majestic celestial phenomenon with thunderclouds gathering.

"Looking at the scale of this thundercloud, it seems to be about the same size as the Third Supreme!"

"Yeah, it's pretty much the same as I remember."

The implication is that they are all first-level golden elixirs.

There is nothing wrong with the first-level golden elixir. The first, second and third-level golden elixirs can easily get stuck at the peak of the third level of the golden elixir. But as long as the family develops well, the first-level golden elixir can also get the realm-breaking elixir. On the contrary, if the family does not develop well, the third-level golden elixir will also be stuck.

Rumble~
The thunderstorm came very quickly, and all the residents of the Immortal City came out to watch. The old residents had seen it from a distance a few years ago, and although they felt it up close this time and were surprised, they knew what was going on.
Many of the new residents who moved in in the past nine years do not have this knowledge and are completely confused.

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist! We've made a fortune!"

"Is this... the legendary Golden Core Thunder Tribulation? And what does fellow Daoist mean by getting rich?"

"This is a thunder tribulation! A Jindan thunder tribulation! This means that in less than ten years, the Lin family has produced a new Jindan cultivator. The inheritance is well established! It is prosperous! It is becoming more and more prosperous!"

"I see! It seems that you are very confident that this senior will successfully overcome the tribulation. However, I have heard that many cultivators also fall at the last moment. I am not cursing you. I bought a cave here and naturally hope for peace. What I mean is, why are you so confident?"

"The situation you mentioned of being struck to death by lightning usually occurs when one's foundation-building strength breaks through and does not have enough means to resist the lightning tribulation, and is forced to die under the lightning tribulation.
Even some small Jindan forces with shorter inheritances may encounter this situation, but with the current development of the Lin family, as long as the Jindan seeds can reach the stage of thunder tribulation, they must have already made corresponding measures, and there is no room for error! "

"I see! What do you mean by getting rich...?"

"You're really lucky, kid! As soon as you paid for the cave, the Lin family got a new golden elixir. The property rights of the entire Yulong Fairy City, and even all the industries of the entire Yulong Islands, will be affected and exploded. You've made a fortune!"

"My friend, you've misunderstood. I'm using it for myself, so I won't sell it!"

"Ahahahaha, when the price goes up so much that it makes you dizzy, I hope you can still hold on and not sell."

"I'm not selling it if I'm really using it. I've been to many places, and the security here is undoubtedly the best. Now, as fellow Daoist said, two new Jindan cultivators have been promoted in the past ten years. The Lin family is considered a strong force even among medium-sized Jindan forces. If I sell it, wouldn't it be a huge loss? How can I buy it back in the future? It has to be passed down for hundreds of years at least..."

"Shh! Shut up! Fellow Daoist, be careful with your words!"

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. I'm from a small place, so I can't control my mouth..."

Boom ~

As the last thunder tribulation failed to penetrate Elder Tao's defensive magic weapon after being weakened by the immortal city's formation, and finally failed to wipe out Elder Tao, it meant that the tribulation was successfully overcome.

In fact, he had a chance to reach the second level of the Golden Core, but the second level of the Golden Core meant that the heavenly tribulation would be stronger. Instead of pursuing that tiny gap in the starting point, it would be better to embrace stability. Sure enough, in the end, it was much easier for him to overcome the tribulation than Lin Dayan had overcome it that year.

"Come up!"

"Thank you, Fourth Majesty, for your permission!"

Ancestor Tao was less injured, and there is a limit to how much he can absorb the grace from heaven. Letting the younger generations come up early will allow more people to enjoy the blessing.

The first group to go up were naturally the Lin family's Golden Core Seeds. The status of the Golden Core Seeds was second only to the Golden Core Monks, and they had a high priority.
Although they set out at the same time, Lin Qianxue was in the front, followed by Lin Qianfan, and the giant blood-splitting shark that had long been free of blood was in third place. Then came Lin Qiansuo who had two spiritual roots, and finally Jiu Ye who had three spiritual roots. The order of ranking was very strict.
