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

Chapter 4: Shipwrights and Ships, Ichthyosaur Islands

The journey back home.

Since the cabins were full and even some of the boatmen's personal storage bags were bulging, the boatmen were all very relaxed.

After completing today's practice, Lin Qianfan, whose meridians were already swollen and uncomfortable, had to stop and stop overdrawing his body.

"The progress of cultivation through daily practice is too slow. I need to practice spiritual objects to speed up my cultivation."

There is an upper limit to a cultivator's daily practice. The difficulty will increase after the Great Circulation of the technique reaches a certain level. After collecting, refining, and absorbing disordered spiritual energy to a certain extent, the meridians and dantian will become unbearable. If one insists on doing so, he will go astray.

Therefore, monks with poor talents cannot catch up with monks with good talents by relying on hard work. They also need resources, understanding, opportunities, etc.

Hard work is not something to be boasted about; it is one of the most basic prerequisite qualities that any cultivator should possess, and is not worth mentioning.

Otherwise, how can you become an immortal if you are not diligent?

Who says geniuses don’t work hard?
Geniuses are often more hardworking and focused!

Overtaking on a curve is just an empty fantasy!

"The sea is rich in resources, and there are countless spiritual objects that can assist in cultivation without any side effects. While ensuring sufficient time for daily cultivation, we should also strive for better cultivation resources."

The free spiritual energy in the air is difficult to tame, but the tamed spiritual energy in various elixirs and spiritual objects can be absorbed faster and to a greater extent, which can greatly speed up the progress of cultivation.

Lin Qianfan's parents are both ordinary cultivators with five spiritual roots and cannot provide him with high-quality cultivation elixirs. If he wants to obtain a large amount of resources, he needs to fight for it himself.

The ownership of the Sea Hunter belongs to the family, so half of the profits of the Sea Hunter must be turned over to the family according to the law; Jiu Ye is the only foundation-building cultivator on the Sea Hunter, the captain, and the helmsman, so Jiu Ye must take half of the remaining profits.

Apart from the above two items, the remaining profit is the interests of the thirty or so Qi Refining Realm boatmen on the Sea Hunter.

The method of distributing benefits is distribution according to strength + distribution according to work + distribution according to needs. The three are ranked in order of weight and negotiated.

The powerful Qi Refining Level 9 team leaders and elite backbones will be divided first; the old boatmen of the Qi Refining Level 7 and 8 who play important roles and have mature skills in various aspects will be divided next; the Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators who are in the stage of learning, helping out, and doing some auxiliary work can only be divided.

There is a threshold of qualitative change between the middle and late stages of Qi Refining. Take time to settle down before crossing this threshold!
This is still a relatively fair distribution rule for the family monster hunting ship. If it is replaced with a monster hunting ship of other systems, the ocean is vast and there is no law and order. The boatmen in the middle stage of Qi training can't even think about fighting for the distribution of benefits. It is a good thing if they are not put on the table for distribution.

"There's no future in being an ordinary boatman. You have to be a master shipwright!"

With the memory of his past life, Lin Qianfan decided on a path for his future after a little consideration.

A shipwright is a skilled worker with a much higher status than other shipwrights. In addition to being able to share more profits, he also has greater selection rights. In many cases, he can give priority to choosing prey that is useful to him and is respected by others.

"But we have to take it one step at a time and realize our talent step by step!"

In the past, Lin Qianfan was just a junior who was good at studying, practiced hard, and liked to ask questions, but he did not show any clear interest or talent in any of the hundreds of arts of cultivation.

Therefore, after he grew up, he could only take the risk and join the monster hunting ship to learn. Boatman is a job that does not require any talent, but only requires a certain strength and the ability to endure hardship and danger.

But Lin Qianfan, who has the memories of being a Jindan cultivator in his previous life, can retrace his past life's path. He plans to start as the lowest-level ship repairman and become the envied "shipbuilder".

What is a shipbuilder?
The Thousand Star Sea where the Lin family of Yanglong Bay lives and the Storm Ocean to which the Thousand Star Sea belongs are both sea power cultivation realms, but the human race is a natural terrestrial creature, so various ships that can provide solid "land" for humans naturally become the most important tools.

The "shipbuilder" who can preside over the construction of spiritual ships of various levels has naturally become a crucial profession/skill among the hundreds of arts of cultivation in the world of sea cultivation.

The first-level spirit ship is mainly made of solid materials and is handmade with exquisite craftsmanship. It has a wide range of uses and can undertake various tasks such as short-distance transportation, fishing, breeding, gathering, and fishing.

There are many first-level shipbuilders and the competition is fierce. They are not irreplaceable, so their status is not much different from that of practitioners of the four arts of alchemy, formations, weapons and talismans.

The second-level spirit ship has initially completed a qualitative change. A large number of auxiliary formations are engraved on it. It can carry a large number of work tools, can sail long distances, has certain naval combat capabilities, and can be customized into various special types according to different usage requirements, maximizing its economic capabilities.

The number of second-level shipbuilders is relatively small. Each of them is a master who has extensive knowledge of runes, formations, refining and other skills. They have become irreplaceable in a large area and are often the backbone of a medium-sized force. Except for the alchemists who are also closely related to cultivation, no other profession can be compared with shipbuilders.

The third-level spirit ship has completed the essence leap. A complete set of third-level offensive and defensive formations are engraved on it, and it is equipped with a large number of weapon systems. Its functions are very complete, like a small movable fairy city. It has a relatively complete Jindan stage combat capability, and can even form a small ecological chain within a third-level battleship.

The status of a third-level shipbuilder has exceeded the basic limitations of his personal cultivation. Any third-level shipbuilder is one of the first talented people below the Nascent Soul stage, is sought after by thousands of people, and is the foundation pillar of a large force.

The fourth-level spirit ship can no longer be described as a spirit ship. It is not an exaggeration to call it a mobile fairy island or a floating fairy city. That is not something Lin Qianfan can imagine now. The fourth-level spirit ship is rare even in the Great Qin Fairy Dynasty. It is a real national treasure!
As for the fourth-level rune masters, they have already transcended the concept of simple professions or the art of cultivating immortals with the help of the way of runes. Their existence is the pillar of the country!
dong dong dong~
Ship repairers are repairing the damage to the Sea Hunter's hull.

Previously, the Mo Yuan Demon Seal had hit the hull several times. Although it did not break through the defense formation and failed to seriously damage the Sea Hunter, the violent vibration also damaged some of the first-level components on the ship.

"Uncle Gui, let me help you."

Lin Qianfan took the initiative to help.

"It's Qianfan, you come and deal with these raw wood spiritual materials."

Lin Ligui is one of the ship repairmen on the Sea Hunter and is one of the few people who can be given priority in resource allocation based on their skills.

"Okay." Lin Qianfan didn't pick and choose and just started working.

Qi-refining cultivators do not have spiritual thoughts to assist them, so their work is very rough, so first-level shipbuilders are also called ship repairers.

Different ship repairers have different entry points into the industry. Some focus on formations, some focus on cultivating weapons, and some focus on runes. No matter what skills they start with, they will eventually need to master them all to become a true shipbuilder.

Lin Qianfan has not systematically learned the knowledge of a shipbuilder in this life, so it is not convenient for him to show too much abnormality at the moment. He is just extremely careful and attentive when splitting and processing the raw wood spiritual materials.

"Why didn't Qianfan ask any questions today?"

Lin Ligui was a little surprised. In the past, every time Lin Qianfan came to help, he would ask a lot of questions. Those questions were more or less unrealistic, and many of them were beyond the ability of Lin Ligui to answer.

"what?"

After a closer look, Lin Ligui discovered that Lin Qianfan was different today. He was not only quieter but also more steady. He worked very carefully and attentively, and one could even say that he was completely focused and did his job with ease.

"Not bad, not bad. This kid has completed the transformation of his state of mind in just one month. It seems that he is very talented in cultivating his state of mind."

Every cultivator needs to go through some things before he can grow. He will feel a lot when he sees beings far more powerful than himself being knocked down, killed, and broken down into pieces of basic materials.

Some people's growth and transformation are very slow. It is only when they are in their thirties or forties that they suddenly realize that they are extremely ordinary and learn to be down-to-earth.

Some people's growth and transformation came very quickly, such as Lin Qianfan. It only took him one month to fully adapt to the rhythm of the sea and began to concentrate on learning the most basic skills.

"Not bad, very solid. It seems you put some thought into the problem."

Lin Ligui picked up the spiritual material that Lin Qianfan had separated and looked at it again and again. Although it had just reached the standard specifications, it did not require him to process it further, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"Thank you Uncle Gui for the compliment. I also want to become a shipbuilder!"

"Well done, come and observe and learn more when you have time. You are in good shape now, and you may have great potential in the future."

Uncle Gui was very satisfied with Lin Qianfan's attitude and behavior today.

The art of cultivating immortals is a means of making a living, and cultivators often cherish their own skills. However, the Lin family in Yanglongwan has a good tradition. As long as the younger generations want to learn, the elders will gladly teach them. This is the Lin family tradition!
...

The sun sets in the west, and the evening is golden.

The return journey had a clear goal. They only needed to take the safest and fastest route without making any extra stops. In two days and one night, the Sea Hunter approached the Ichthyosaur Islands by just idling at cruise speed.

"Boys, take out the two remaining demon seal tentacles and hang them high on the bow. Let those Lin family brats from Yulong Fairy City see what we've got and piss them off!"

"Hahaha~ Come on, come on."

The Yulong Islands are a safe sea area. There are no third-level sirens here, and even wild second-level sirens are extremely rare, because there is a powerful Jindan force here - the Lin family of the Yulong Islands!
Toot~
The Sea Hunter needs to pass by Yulong Fairy City to return to Yanglong Bay. The horn starts to sound as soon as Yulong Fairy City is visible. This long "beep" sound represents a safe return/a fruitful harvest.

However, the Sea Hunter did not dock at Yulong Fairy City. Instead, it circled in front of the port and left without looking back, continuing south to Yanglong Bay.

"Hahaha~ Brothers, did you see that? That bastard Lin Likui is so angry but he doesn't dare to do anything to us. Hahaha~ So comfortable!"

The loud whistle of the Sea Hunter attracted many people in the port to watch. They were all envious of the huge tentacles of the magic seal, but the Sea Hunter did not stop to unload the cargo, which was really annoying.

"I see, I see. This group of people can't exploit us. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well tonight."

"Hahaha~"

Jiu Ye stayed in the captain's room and never showed up, but he did not stop this seemingly inappropriate behavior.

Although this behavior is annoying, isn't it the Sea Hunter's way of reporting safety to the Fish Dragon Fairy City?
Due to certain historical reasons, the former Lin family of the Yulong Islands split into the current Yulong Fairy City Lin family and the Yanglong Bay Lin family.

To the outside world, the two families are the Lin family of the Yulong Islands, but internally they are two clearly separate families. They compete in cooperation and cooperate in competition. You are in me and I am in you, with love and hate!
Across the Yulong Fairy City is the inland sea of the Yulong Islands, which is called the Lilong Fishing Ground by the Lin family!
"Master Long, this is a gift from your grandchildren to you!"

When the Sea Hunter passed by the center of the Carp Dragon Fishery, he threw two complete and valuable Moyuan Demon Seal tentacles into the sea cave.

Whether Lord Dragon shows his favor or not is one thing, but no matter what the harvest is, as long as the boat returns, we must express our gratitude, as it is a token of our appreciation!

Under the sea cave lives one of the most important members of the Lin family. He is one of the Lin family's patron saints and one of the very few properties that could not be completely divided when the two Lin families split up. He is a being jointly supported by Yulong Fairy City and Yanglong Bay!

Toot~
As the sun sets, the calm and beautiful bay appears in sight.

The long whistle of the Sea Hunter sounded again, this time announcing the return of its bountiful harvest to its relatives in Yanglong Bay!
The wanderer misses home. Lin Qianfan, who returned safely from his first voyage, stood at the bow of the ship and looked out at the bay port.

"My parents should be waiting for me!"

　The first four chapters, 10,000 words, form a complete beginning.

　　For ordinary people, the pace is a little slower, but it is by no means dull. There are too many settings that need to be explained in the early stages, so please listen carefully!
