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

Chapter 244 Wuwei Palace Assessment, Spirit Beast Auction
As the people behind become more advanced in cultivation, have more comprehensive abilities, and have more combat experience, the subsequent fights become more exciting, but there are not many who can challenge opponents of higher levels and win.

In the same circle, the difference of one or two levels is mainly due to the difference in the total amount of spiritual power, rather than the difference in quality, so the difference is not too big.

But everyone's basic conditions are very good, and few people have obvious shortcomings, so the gap in realm is actually difficult to bridge. Often, a higher realm means more powerful, and it is difficult to jump levels here.

After all, anyone who goes out here can easily crush the casual cultivators outside, and can even win the battle across several levels.

But it is very difficult to defeat an opponent of higher level here. Whenever someone defeats an opponent of higher level, he will gain respect from others, which means that this person is indeed superior in combat ability.

"The next match is between Chu Junhao and..."

Chu Junhao's opponent is also a cultivator at the peak of the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and is also a direct disciple of the Wuwei Palace. This is a very rare confrontation between two strong opponents, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Chu Junhao's personal strength is very strong. His fire skills are profound, and he has also refined a powerful beast fire. This fire not only has a strong attack capability, but also has a strange parasitic ability. It can continuously burn the opponent's vitality to replenish itself.

Although the confrontation between the two sides was intense and entertaining, as time went on, the balance of victory gradually tilted until the other side surrendered.

"I'm sorry, Big Brother, I lost!"

"It's okay. After all, he comes from a Yuanying family. In terms of family background alone, he's better than you and me. There's no need to be discouraged."

Xiao Yichen patted his junior brother's shoulder to express his comfort. He had already predicted such an outcome. Failure is not terrible. Only by knowing shame and then being brave can one show the ability to withstand pressure. This is also one of the purposes of this battle.

Chu Junhao’s victory depended largely on his strange beast fire, which should have been separated from a demon king.

After all, the decline of the Chu family is only a recent thing, and the training Chu Junhao received before was all at the Nascent Soul level.

"Next game, ..."

Chu Junhao, who defeated a strong enemy, enjoyed the gazes of the crowd. When he left the stage, he looked at Lin Qianfan without any concealment. There was a clear provocation in his eyes, and he was obviously telling Lin Qianfan that if he didn't cooperate with him, he would be in trouble in the future.

"Idiot, it seems your brain still hasn't changed!"

In Lin Qianfan's eyes, the other party's thinking was too taken for granted.

The Lin family had only kept four portions of Xuanqiong Yulu. Lin Qianfan and Lin Lihong were the heroes who risked their lives to obtain Xuanqiong Yulu, so they couldn't refuse one portion each.

As the number one talent in the Lin family, it is impossible for Lin Qianxue to give up her share. Lin Qiansuo has two spiritual roots, which is rare among the Jindan forces. Four portions of Xuanqiong Yulu are arranged.

Based on this, no Jindan forces tried to exchange Xuanqiong Jade Dew from the Lin family during this period, because that was impossible unless the Lin family admitted that they had hidden something at the time.

In this situation, the other party actually planned to find a breakthrough from Lin Qianfan and let Lin Qianfan cooperate in poaching his own people.

is it possible?

It can only be said that the Chu family protected him too well, which made him take his way of thinking for granted. Even after he pretended to have adapted to his new identity, he was still exposed. Otherwise, why was he the only one who came to squeeze Lin Qianfan? Don’t others want it?

"If the Chu family only cultivates people like this, then it wouldn't be surprising if the Chu family continues to decline until it becomes obscured by the crowd."

Since this is an open exchange, we will stop here.
Some taboo/auxiliary means that cannot be shown to others cannot be fully used, so the efficiency of this competition is very high. Soon more than 200 people have decided the results. Some are satisfied, while others are dissatisfied.

However, there was no arrangement for a second match, and it ended there. The Jindan cultivators who were seated witnessed all the details throughout the whole process. For them, one match could reveal the basic skills. They recorded everyone's performance and divided them into different levels in their minds.

Some people came into their sight, especially those who challenged higher levels and succeeded, but a small number of people were completely excluded.

Although it wasn't a life-or-death battle, and everyone held back, making it impossible to fully predict their strength, who didn't have a trump card? Conventional tactics comprised the majority of a person's strength, and trump cards often served as a foundational addition, so fundamentals were crucial.

And this is just a preliminary investigation. There will be subsequent assessments in other dimensions until we have a deep enough understanding and only a few are selected from the more than one hundred scholars.

After the game,

Xiao Yichen first announced that Wuwei Hall would open Shuofeng Steps to the public in a few days, and then left with the Jindan cultivators.

He did not fight this time, obviously there was no opponent worthy of his attack. It is said that the chief disciple of the front hall and the chief master of the back hall of Wuwei Hall must be the best in the same level and defeat the others.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, how did you provoke Chu Junhao?"

Someone immediately came over to care about Lin Qianfan.

Although Lin Qianfan has not taken the initiative to go out and make friends these days, he is naturally in certain circles and naturally has friends.

For example, the circle of friends based on the relationship between the Lin family camp, the circle of fellow cultivators from the Western Regions, the small circle of cultivators with three spiritual roots, and the circle of people who can fight above their level in this competition.

"Fellow Daoist Jian is being too kind to me. How could I dare to provoke him? It's all Xuanqiong Yulu's fault. There's no way to avoid this kind of trouble that's knocked on my doorstep~"

Lin Qianfan spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.

"I see. I'm afraid he'll be thinking about this before he forms his elixir. These people are used to being overbearing. That's how it is. Fellow Daoist Lin, you should also calm down and hide away. A month will pass."

After all, the Chu family is a descendant of the former Nascent Soul force. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. It is said that there is more than one late Golden Core cultivator in their clan, and the number of Golden Core cultivators is far more than ten. They are not the kind that small and medium-sized Golden Core forces can provoke. Everyone's suggestion is to avoid them.

"Thank you fellow Taoists for the reminder. I'll try my best."

Lin Qianfan sincerely thanked everyone for their kindness.

The Chu family's move to the four regions of the inner sea will actually squeeze the interests of many nearby forces, especially choosing the junction of the Northwest Region, the West Region and the Silent Sea. Its purpose is self-evident, which is to eat three heads.

The larger the force nearby, the more naturally opposed to their stance. On the contrary, only the small, inferior force like the Zhong family is truly willing to get close to the Chu family.

Life is already difficult for small and insignificant forces, and finding a powerful big brother to protect them would make life easier.

The next day,

The Thousand Star Chamber of Commerce and the Storm Hunting Group jointly issued an invitation to all young talents currently staying in the Thousand Star City, inviting everyone to go to the Thousand Star Chamber of Commerce in three days to participate in a "Spirit Beast Auction".

In addition to the locals of Thousand Star City who have status, traveling scholars like Lin Qianfan were also invited, a formal invitation.

It turned out that the Thousand Stars Chamber of Commerce and the Storm Hunters had a dispute during their offshore exploration, over the ownership of a nest of [Black Qilin]. The dispute eventually turned into a collaboration, with both parties joining forces for the auction. "The structure of a large Nascent Soul powerhouse is simply different!"

Thousand Star Chamber of Commerce, as the name suggests, is the largest merchant organization in Thousand Star City. Thousand Star Treasure House, where the Zhang family ordered the Shield Mountain ship, belongs to the Thousand Star Chamber of Commerce. It should be the largest Nascent Soul force in Thousand Star City.

The master behind it is none other than the interest group headed by Bai Ye Zhenjun who is in the late Nascent Soul stage. Their main business is cross-border business.

I heard that the Thousand Star Chamber of Commerce is just a branch of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but in fact there is a larger chamber of commerce alliance behind it.

The nature of the Storm Hunter Group is the same. It is not limited to the local forces of the Thousand Star City, but is affiliated with a larger hunting group organization, and the Thousand Star City is only a part of it.

However, the subordinate relationship between them is not absolute. The first priority of the Nascent Soul forces in the Thousand Star City is to be loyal to the Thousand Star City, because they are supported by the Thousand Star City and have the responsibility to defend the territory!
Based on the complex relationship above, the classification of Yuanying forces and Jindan forces can be divided into bottom-tier, medium-sized and large-sized forces in the same way. Zilong Pavilion, Wangtian Pavilion and the former Chu family are all at the bottom fourth level.

In the next few days, no one came to bother Lin Qianfan anymore.

It is not known whether Chu Junhao realized that this method was ineffective and gave up on his own initiative, or whether he was planning something even worse. Lin Qianfan was naturally happy to have some peace and quiet and would not take the initiative to cause trouble.

In fact, putting aside the other party's unrealistic fantasies, there is no other conflict of interest between the two sides, and there is no conflict between the Lin family and the Chu family. There is a long distance between them, and the two sides should not be in opposition.

Xingcheng District,
The Qianxing Auction House under the Qianxing Chamber of Commerce was crowded with people. All those who came here today were foundation-building cultivators with a certain identity, status and financial foundation, and most of them were young people.

"What's the situation with the Black Qilin this time? What realm is it in? Does anyone know anything about it? Could you share a few details?"

"The latest news says they are three black Qilin eggs. Their direct parents are both third-stage late-stage Qilin Demon Kings. They should be pure-blooded descendants, and they are extremely talented. As long as they are not wasted, they have the potential to become Demon Kings, possibly Great Demon Kings, and even have a slight chance of becoming Demon Emperors."

"It's just a beast egg? The cultivation period is too long, it's useless!"

"He actually has the potential to become a Demon King? What's the price? A stratospheric price, right? Then why did you invite us here? Just to go through the motions and gain popularity?"

"Oh? The answer is revealed ahead of time? Shouldn't we be left hanging?"

"Because the Black Qilin is no longer the real main force, I heard that a new spirit beast has returned temporarily, and it is even rarer, so the news about the Black Qilin was leaked in advance. It's the same old routine."

"Is there any spiritual beast more precious than this black unicorn? It must be the Demon King's cub. Does this make sense? I don't believe it!"

"I don't know. I heard that the situation in the demon tribe is very chaotic right now, with wars raging everywhere. This has led to a chaotic situation in the outer seas as well. There are all kinds of strange opportunities. I think it wouldn't be surprising if the lost bloodline of the Demon King is out there. Of course, the above is just my guess."

The thousand-year beast tide has stopped, but the aftermath of the beast tide is far from over. The demon territory has not been completely sorted out, and there is no complete set of rules to cover it. It is completely a matter of the survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle, so the fighting there is still very fierce.

Lin Qianfan walked into the venue with familiar scholars.

The Thousand Stars Auction is very large, and the entire venue can accommodate tens of thousands of people at most. Moreover, the internal structure of this venue can be changed according to the actual number of people present and their social status.

This ensures that the venue is always large and not empty, and always maintains the best state of being full of people.

Unlike auctions in other places that are rarely held, the Qianxing Auction has sessions almost every day, but each one targets a different group of people, catering to their preferences.

For example, this spiritual beast auction is specifically held for foundation-building cultivators who have status and purchasing power. The spiritual beasts on offer are what everyone needs, and are very targeted.

"How many foundation-building cultivators are there in Thousand Star City?"

After entering, the invited foundation-building monks were divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower, based on their social status, representing three classes;

The upper level are all from the Nascent Soul forces, the middle level are from the Golden Core forces, and the lower level are foundation-building cultivators who meet certain conditions. The number of people increases from top to bottom.

The main target group of this auction is foundation-building cultivators with purchasing power, so all the visitors are foundation-building cultivators, but there are still more than two thousand of them, which shows the huge consumption potential of the Thousand Star City.

These more than 2,000 foundation-building funds are naturally not the limit of consumption power, but the limit of being able to safely hold high-quality spirit beasts during the foundation-building period.

Since there were not enough private rooms/small rooms could not accommodate all the small groups at the same time, most people came with a public identity. Lin Qianfan also saw Lin Qianxue among the crowd in the upper class.

Unlike Lin Qianfan, Lin Qianxue was at the upper level, standing among the group of direct disciples of Tingyuxuan. Although their robes were different, they did not look out of place. It was obvious that she was doing very well there.

"How are you these days?"

The time waiting for the show to start was a bit boring. Although Lin Qianxue seemed to be getting along well with Tingyuxuan's disciples, it was not the case. So she took the initiative to send a message to ask about Lin Qianfan's recent situation.

"Not bad, I've learned a lot. The conditions in the Nascent Soul Force are indeed good, but not as pure as at home. How about you?"

Lin Qianfan only reports good news and not bad news.

"Everything went well! The Jindan seniors of Tingyuxuan are all very optimistic about me. I should have the opportunity to become a registered disciple of Tingyuxuan!"

"Congratulations in advance! Do you have any spirit beasts you're interested in today? Didn't you say you wanted a Silver Scale before?"

"There's no one who's particularly suitable at the moment. It depends on fate."

How could there be no suitable one?
The scale of this auction was almost unlimited, and many people of high status from the Nascent Soul forces came.

In fact, it is just an economic issue. Golden elixir seeds are just golden elixir seeds after all, and pocket money is limited, especially for those who are practicing full-time. How can they have a large amount of disposable cash? They don’t have enough money and they don’t look down on spirit beasts that are not talented enough, so they don’t waste money.

"If you find a suitable one, you can discuss it with me and I can lend it to you."

"Okay, don't be stingy when the time comes!"

Compared to strangers, family members are more friendly.

"Sister Xue'er, who are you secretly communicating with? Let me see which talented person catches your eye."

"It's my brother, just a normal greeting."

"Oh? Is it the young man in the fish dragon robe across from you? He looks very ordinary, and his cultivation is also mediocre. Are you related by blood? Sister Xue'er, don't be fooled. Men are so fake..."
