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

Chapter 239 Studying in Wuwei Palace, Large-scale Development of the Outer Sea

"Qianfan, have you decided where to go for further studies?"

Lin Rongrong is the successor carefully trained by the previous generation of Lin family's ancestor who was in the middle stage of Jindan. She is a mid-grade Jindan and has a possibility of becoming a Yuanying, so she is also in the Yuanying training sequence this time.

She and Lin Qianxue both went to Tingyuxuan, where Liuxing Zhenjun was, to study. On the one hand, most of Liuxing Zhenjun's disciples were female practitioners, and under her protection, they could avoid being disturbed by others and study with peace of mind.

On the other hand, Lin Qianxue and Liu Xing Zhenjun both have ice spiritual roots, so she might take a fancy to Lin Qianxue and accept her as a registered disciple.

The Ice Spiritual Root and the Ice Spiritual Root are only similar in their initial starting points, but the paths they take are actually very different. With the Lin family's extreme training of Lin Qianxue, her foundation can be said to be excellent. It is not that there is no opportunity. The Lin family hopes to take this opportunity to get close to Ting Yuxuan.

"I've made up my mind. I plan to go to Wuwei Palace to study!"

Tingyuxuan is not against accepting male cultivators. In fact, powerful/long-standing Nascent Soul forces are often comprehensive. However, after considering many aspects, Lin Qianfan still feels that Wuwei Palace is the most suitable for him.

Because he heard that Xuanwu Zhenjun of Wuwei Palace was seriously injured in the beast tide, so he probably didn't have too much energy to check the dantian and sea of consciousness of these wandering scholars who were not even registered disciples.

"Okay, I'll take you there!"

Wuwei Palace,
It is located in the core area of Shangcheng District. It is not only the place where Xuanwu Zhenjun practices, but also the alternative mountain gate of "Wuwei Hall", which has been passed down the Yuanying Taoist tradition for thousands of years. Yes, this is also a mountain gate.

There are many forms of power in the world of immortal cultivation, the most common ones are families, sects, dynasties, etc. However, in the Storm Ocean where the fourth-level spiritual veins are concentrated, the Nascent Soul forces mostly exist in the form of "organizations".

Wuwei Palace is an "organizational" Nascent Soul force that has a Nascent Soul cultivator as its leader, master-disciple inheritance as its core, and registered preaching as its development method.

in short,
There are not many core disciples in Wuwei Hall, and only a few of those with good talents are its direct disciples. These direct disciples are free from work to practice before their paths are cut off, and do not need to do any work.

And once the path is cut off, one has to devote the rest of his life to the forces.

In addition, there are some registered disciples. These registered disciples all bring their own dry food and need to provide for themselves, as well as offer food to the Wuwei Palace. This is a small price to pay for wanting to learn the Nascent Soul inheritance.

It also has some requirements for registered disciples, and requires a certain level of talent. Although the disciples owe Wuwei Palace a debt of gratitude, they have paid money, and there is little causal connection between them, and the interests involved are not deep.

After completing your studies, you will not be bound by it and will be very free.

In addition, there are some guest cultivators who were absorbed into Wuwei Palace, some of them were at the second and third levels, and most of them were employed in the businesses belonging to Wuwei Palace. Wuwei Palace provided them with a foundation for survival, and they made money to repay it.

There are even some guest officials who are only in name only. They can use the name of Wuwei Palace to do things, but they need to hand over part of the benefits.

Guest officials and independent cultivators can only be said to have relative freedom, but it is not easy for them to withdraw.

Because the disciples of the main lineage only need to practice and maintain the inheritance, although it is not large in scale, there are Nascent Soul cultivators from generation to generation, and it has been passed down for thousands of years.

"Welcome all fellow Taoists to study in Wuwei Palace!"

A young ninth-level foundation-building cultivator dressed in black training clothes was responsible for receiving the golden elixir seeds from various families who came to study on this tour.

"My name is Xiao Yichen, and I am honored to be the current senior brother of the Front Hall. For the next month, you fellow Taoists will temporarily follow me to practice. I also have many shortcomings, and I welcome your guidance. We can learn from each other, promote each other, and reach greater heights together!"

There was no arrogance or pride on his face that one would expect from a disciple of the Nascent Soul faction. On the contrary, he was kind to others and his words were friendly.

There were nearly a hundred foundation-building cultivators who chose to study in Wuwei Palace this time. They were in the early, middle and late stages of foundation-building, and all of them were young and energetic. However, no one stood up to question whether he was capable of leading everyone in their practice. Everyone behaved humbly and kindly.

"This is the specific arrangement for this month... If you have any questions, feel free to ask me directly. I will do my best to help you solve them. If I really can't solve them, I will ask a Jindan cultivator to solve them. There's no need to hide anything. I hope everyone can gain something from this trip and that it's worthwhile. It would be best if everyone can meet the requirements for future assessments!"

Afterwards, Xiao Yichen arranged for everyone to enter a library in Wuwei Palace that was specially open to the public to read some necessary information.

Although they all came from the Jindan forces and were all knowledgeable Jindan seeds, their collections were still far from enough compared to the collections of the old Yuanying forces.

"Nascent Soul teachings are complex and profound. It would be too difficult for you to listen in on them for the first time. Even if our Grandmaster intentionally only covers the superficial aspects that you can understand, you would probably not be able to absorb them. Therefore, reading the books here will be of great benefit to you."

No one thought this arrangement was perfunctory. Most of the advanced knowledge was in secret books, and everyone read the various jade slips eagerly.

The collections in the library are very diverse, and many of them study the basic structures of the human body, such as meridians, secret treasures, acupoints, spiritual roots, constitution, and the internal circulation of the five elements. They explore very subtle issues that people don't think about much in their daily lives, and they have benefited a lot.

Some of them were repetitive, and some were completely new to him. With Lin Qianfan's knowledge and memory, he was also eagerly absorbing the essence of them, in an attempt to take this opportunity to completely improve his first and second level knowledge structure, and build a third level part based on it, so as to facilitate the complete absorption of the Jindan period memory as soon as possible in the future.

The registered disciples of Wuwei Palace are generally Jindan cultivators, and they have no experience in receiving so many foundation-building cultivators this time, but one month is a short time, so as long as the main arrangements are fine, it will be fine.

The main activities this time are Nascent Soul cultivators preaching, Golden Core seeds exchanging ideas with each other, learning the cultivation rhythm of direct disciples, and using their unique trial secret realms to train themselves.

Wuwei Palace originally had two Yuanying Zhenjuns, but a young Yuanying in the early stage died in the last ambush by the Demon King.

So now is its period of decline, and it urgently needs to add a new Nascent Soul within two hundred years to maintain the inheritance. This is also one of the purposes of Lin Qianfan's coming here.

Although Lin Qianfan's origins in the Jindan faction had long been marked, and it was impossible for him to be accepted as a direct disciple, as long as he performed outstandingly, he could still become its registered disciple.

If you have the status of a registered disciple, you can automatically gain a large number of fellow disciples, and it will be much easier for you to travel in the future.

For it, if a registered disciple really succeeds in giving birth to a baby, it can be regarded as a kind of friendship and a natural ally, so it is sincere to these very young seedlings.

at the same time,

The five Nascent Soul cultivators who went out on a mission returned to the city, and the Nascent Soul cultivators who were bound in the Cardinal Pavilion were released. The news that eight Nascent Soul demon cultivators were killed in the Demonic Corner Territory this time spread, which was exciting.

Along with this, the news also came out about the [Offshore Development Plan] that the Thousand Star City had already drawn up, which could be promoted on a large scale as soon as the problem of the Demonic Corner Region was solved!
Now that the demons have retreated, the Demonic Horn Territory has been severely damaged, and civil unrest is certain to follow, it is the perfect time for Thousand Star City to expand and forge ahead. The four outer sea regions have been developed for thousands of years, although they are far less developed than the four inner sea regions and are still relatively primitive.

But its area is large enough and its circulation is fast enough. The value it can bring is as important as the four inner sea areas and cannot be separated. The plan of the Thousand Star City is even to expand on the original basis.

But in the ten years since the Beast Tide, humans have long lost actual control over this area. Now these territories already have owners, who are the large and small demon beast tribes that were intentionally left behind by the Beast Tide. The Thousand Star City needs to redevelop these territories.

The word "opening up" is of great importance.
Every inch of land and every drop of blood must be filled with human lives, and the monks need to leave the protection of the Thousand Star City and go deep into it to fight. This is naturally very risky.

But it also contains infinite benefits. The outer sea is now unowned territory, and whoever conquers it will own it. This way of thorough reshuffle is much more brutal than the rules of the four inner sea areas.

With the support of policies, those who originally came from the outer sea, planned to move to the outer sea, and came from other fourth-level fairy city areas to find a way out all flocked to the outer sea to find a way out.

The front line is fighting, which naturally requires a huge supply of war materials, and a huge amount of spoils will be brought back to be processed.

So the beast tide had just stopped, the power transition in the inland sea had just been completed, and the new strong driving force of the economy immediately started to operate again.

Jindan forces like the Yulong Islands, which have developed well and can export goods, have basically received many orders.

With the relatively complete production system established by the Lin family during the ten years of the Beast Tide, the efficiency of processing orders for these war materials was very high. Although the profit was not high, the volume was large and stable.

And it is estimated that this is a relatively long job, because the Jindan cultivators who came to support from other immortal cities have left, and now those who go to open up the outer sea are basically locals of Thousand Star City.

In the absence of rigid indicators, the development will be more cautious, and the progress cannot be pushed forward in a day or two. It will be a protracted tug-of-war, and the winners will continue to cash out and leave. The pioneering army will encounter greater obstacles later, and the Lin family must take the opportunity to seek benefits and develop itself.

However, the size of the Ichthyosaur Islands themselves is limited. Under the premise that the Lin family cannot move to a larger territory for some reason, they must speed up the pace of external expansion and develop themselves.

Therefore, the issue of conquering the Purple Jade Islands was brought up for discussion again!

Without the harassment of the beast tide, the communication between the Yulong Islands and the Ziyu Islands was restored. The Lin family took the initiative to outsource some of the less profitable orders to the Ziyu Islands so that they could also get some benefits.

The area of the Purple Jade Islands is not small. After all, its predecessor was also a third-level spiritual vein. It can be compared to the Fish Dragon Islands that have lost its main spiritual vein.

So although their population is far less than that of the Yulong Islands, it is not small either, with a total of tens of thousands of monks.

Most of them are single cultivators, various cultivator alliances, and family forces. They are in the primitive stage where there are all kinds of people and each fights for itself. There is no dominant force with absolute dominance.

After all, the Jindan forces that are far away cannot notice them, and the Jindan forces that are nearby find it difficult to truly occupy this place.

In the past, the Zhang family of Yundu Island had a great influence on them, but that was in the past. Now, the Zhang family of Yundu Island can only take care of the interests of Yundu Island headquarters and the northern ice field, and dare not interfere in any external matters.

The central market of the archipelago,

The leaders of more than twenty foundation-building forces held a secret meeting.

"Fellow Daoists, this is a large order from the Lin family. It covers a wide range of quantities. What do you think of this order?"

The owner of the central market of the archipelago has the strength of the ninth level of foundation building. He calls himself Purple Jade Wanderer and is considered a man of final say in the archipelago. Unfortunately, he is old and has long lost the ambition to form a pill.

In addition, a lot of foundation-building forces have moved in over the years. Although this has strengthened the overall strength of the archipelago, it has also weakened his voice. Otherwise, there would be no need to hold meetings to discuss things. He could just make a decision and then notify everyone.

"This is a good thing!

The Lin family eats meat, isn’t it nice that they are willing to take us to drink soup?

The difficulty of obtaining these first-level alchemy array and instrument talismans is not too high. We only need to mobilize the lower-level independent cultivators of the archipelago to help complete the orders. Although the profit margin is very low, the advantage is that the quantity is large. We can make money once we handle it. I think this is a good thing. "

Everyone who heard it was surprised, but some people immediately showed joy on their faces. Any little bit of sweetness that came out from under the nails of the Jindan forces was not a small matter to them and needed to be treated positively.

After all, they don’t have many spirit stones left over every year, and they may even be in deficit in years of disaster. Some of them really want to go to the Yulong Islands, but unfortunately the Yulong Islands no longer wants people, so they can’t join.

Zi Yu San Ren showed no surprise when he heard this, nor did he comment. This was not the standard answer he wanted, so he continued to sit still.

"I think the Lin family wants to annex our Ziyu Islands!"

Someone with keen observation skills immediately realized the real intention of the Lin family, which was to deliberately divide the unity within the Ziyu Islands.

"Oh? Tell me more about it! How did you do that?"

"I visited the last Yulong Fairy City auction, and I believe at least half of you fellow Daoists have also been there.

The newly built immortal city is majestic, and the runes engraved on the city walls are thicker than my thighs. As newly built third-level immortal cities, Yulong Immortal City is far ahead of Yundu Immortal City, which is dazzling!
In addition, I also went to their Central Market and Outer Garrison out of curiosity, and even visited the Mortal Sanctuary.

My conclusion is: the Yulong Lin family has reached a bottleneck period, and it is difficult to break through within the archipelago.
So who is their next target?
I think everyone should be very clear in their minds now, the next goal is definitely to annex the nearby Purple Jade Islands!"

The man's analysis was well-reasoned, but he only stated the factual basis and did not make a clear statement, in order to avoid it getting to the ears of the Lin family one day.

bang~
"How dare he! My Purple Jade Islands have always been a neutral force and have never been affiliated with any Jindan faction. Moreover, we are closer to Yundu Island. Why should we be annexed by the Yulong Islands?"

Some people were immediately dissatisfied. They thought they were kings and princes here, but if they were annexed by the Yulong Lin family, they would be subjects. The gap was huge.

"Oh? Why are you so stubborn, fellow Daoist?"
