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

Chapter 5: Distributing the Prey, Family Harmony
Toot~
"Look, the Sea Hunter is back, playing the flute formation. He must have had a good harvest."

"Huh? I remember the Sea Hunter just went out to sea not long ago, how come it's back so soon? Did they hunt down a large second-level siren?"

"It's possible, otherwise it wouldn't be so majestic. It's really amazing. The Sea Hunter, a basic trawler, can hunt down a second-level siren. Master Jiu is truly amazing!"

"You don't understand, this is called a stage! The old Jiu Ye didn't have a suitable stage to show his full abilities."

"Yes, things are getting better and better."

The early sound of the whistle attracted many people to stop and wait, and some even ran around to tell others and notify the boatmen's families.

Unlike Yulong Fairy City, which is open to the outside world, Yanglong Bay is much more private. Most of the people living in Yanglong Bay are members of the Lin family or affiliated families of the Lin family. There are very few outside cultivators who settle here.

Toot~
The sound of the flute continued all the way to the front of the dock and then stopped.

"Ashore!"

"Dock~"

"discharge!"

"Unloading~"

The boxes of fish that had been preliminarily processed in the cabin were first carried out and placed on the deck for display to the crowd. Among them, the Mo Yuan Demon Seal meat and the Blue Fin Sea Spearhead were the most eye-catching. Such high-value prey could not be caught every time they went out to sea.

"Not bad, Xiaojiu has made progress. He brought back such a big creature without damaging the hull."

"Thank you for the compliment, Grandma. It's all thanks to the good cooperation among the tribesmen."

Granny Ju, the family's foundation-building elder who was in charge of taxation, stepped forward to take over, counting, evaluating, and registering the goods one by one, including everyone's storage bags and some precious living things in the living water warehouse.

With the help of divine consciousness, the registration took no more than a quarter of an hour. Granny Ju and Master Jiu took the first place to pick out the benefits that belonged to them, and then the heads of each class took charge of the distribution.

As the apprentice with the lowest realm on the ship, Lin Qianfan naturally got the least: a whole basket of not-so-valuable spirit fish, half a box of leftover meat from magic seals, ten spirit stones as an extra reward for the good harvest, ten contribution points for this month's monthly salary, and a small, complete bluefin sea spearhead.

For an apprentice who has no skills and can only help out, this is a good harvest after drifting on the sea for a month.

"Qianfan, come here, take this fish and eat it."

Lin Ligui stopped Lin Qianfan who was about to get off the boat and threw a large bluefin sea lancehead into Lin Qianfan's box without asking for Lin Qianfan's opinion.

"Uncle Gui, what are you doing?"

"Uncle, this is all I will live for. It would be a shame for me to eat such a good spiritual fish. You can take it and use it."

There are many cultivators in the Lin family, and they are usually addressed according to their seniority. So although Lin Ligui is "uncle", he is actually older than Lin Qianfan's father, and his path of cultivation has long reached the end.

"Uncle, you can sell it..."

"What are you selling? It's so rare to catch this kind of spiritual fish that can assist in spiritual practice without any side effects. It would be a shame to sell it. Just use it. Think of it as a loan from your uncle. When you grow up, you can return it to me as a filial tribute."

Uncle Gui was injured when he was young. Although he married a monk and had several mortal concubines, he still had no children for many years. If it weren't for the lack of ship repairmen on the Sea Hunter after the separation, he might not have been willing to go out to sea with the ship.

"Okay, consider it your loan. I'll come back to honor you once I've mastered the craft!"

Lin Qianfan did not refuse Uncle Gui's kindness. Accepting the kindness of others and keeping it in mind is itself a kind of kindness.

"Good boy, you've really grown up."

If it were Lin Qianfan a few days ago, he might have been hesitant and embarrassed, but now Lin Qianfan longs to be strong, so he naturally becomes thick-skinned.

"Fan'er~"

Lin Qianfan's home is in the port area. His parents, who are also Qi-refining cultivators, have naturally been waiting for him for a long time and have been shouting from a distance.

"Uncle Gui, I'm leaving now. See you another day."

"Go ahead. When you have time, study more about refining equipment. Remember, you will set sail at 3:30 pm in three days. Don't miss the time. Master Jiu is very strict."

"I save~"

Lin Qianfan quickly disembarked, a large frame in one hand, and headed straight for his parents. "Young people are so lively! Ever since the split, my Yanglongwan Lin family has become increasingly vibrant."

Uncle Gui didn't know why he was so caring towards this junior today. Maybe it was because he was old and wanted to retire early, or maybe he was pinning some thoughts on him. Anyway, he vaguely saw himself forty or fifty years ago in Lin Qianfan.

"Dad, Mom, let's go home!"

Lin Qianfan had never felt the love of his family in his previous life. He was taken away by the Great Qin Dynasty to practice in his ignorant years. Now, after being baptized by the dusty memories, Lin Qianfan cherishes the true family love in this life even more.

"Tell me about your experience."

Father Lin Ligui took the heavier frame containing the miscellaneous fish, held the frame with both hands but did not put it into the storage bag; while mother Li Lijuan took Lin Qianfan's hand and showed concern for Lin Qianfan's experience at sea for the past month.

A mother worries when her son is away from home, let alone going out to sea to hunt monsters.

If Jiu Ye had not been known for his reliability and admired by everyone, Li Lijuan would never have agreed to let her son go to sea.

"Mom, don't worry! The boss takes good care of me. I don't do any dangerous work, so I'll start by learning the most basic things. My big brother also takes good care of me and guides me in every aspect."

"Just take care of them. They are your relatives and elders, and it is their responsibility to take care of you."

"Yes, I understand. Now I am learning the craftsmanship of a shipbuilder from Uncle Gui."

"Good, a good shipbuilder, you are respected for your skills."

Lin Ligui, who has five spiritual roots, is still at the sixth level of Qi Refining in his fifties. He has basically no hope in this life. He just hopes that his younger brother and son will have a bright future, and it would be best if they can build a foundation and bring honor to the family.

Now that his son has found the direction of his efforts after a trip to sea, as a father he naturally supports him.

"My son has really made great progress."

Li Lijuan kept stroking Lin Qianfan's palms, which had become a little rough, and felt relieved as well.

No one knows a son better than his mother. She could vaguely feel that her son was a little different after he came back this time. There was a longing light in his eyes, he spoke with confidence, and even his walk was more steady.

Go home.

Li Lijuan kept some of the mixed fish for dinner and pickled the rest to eat in winter.

Monks are human beings too!
The cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage have not yet completely escaped from the realm of mortals, and cannot achieve the state of complete fasting simply by breathing in spiritual energy, so they still need to replenish their state by eating.

Ordinary food does not contain spiritual energy, only fills the stomach but does not provide any benefit, and even requires extra excretion. Therefore, cultivators generally eat spiritual food, such as spiritual rice, spiritual wheat, spiritual fruit, spiritual beast meat, etc.

Living by the sea, the Lin family has a well-developed fishing industry, so naturally they have an endless supply of cheap spirit fish.

The winter in the Storm Ocean is extremely cold. It is not easy for mortals or Qi-refining cultivators to obtain high-quality fresh food, so they need to prepare in advance.

The piece of meat from the Mo Yuan Demon Seal contained considerable Qi and blood power, so Lin Ligui gave it to Lin Qianfan's uncle, his uncle Lin Limao, a hardworking monk with three spiritual roots who was devoted to seeking the truth.

The Lin family in Yanglongwan was newly established and was eager for talents. The conditions were relaxed. With the help of his brother and sister-in-law, Lin Limao had some chances to break through to the foundation-building stage. He was also the biggest hope of Lin Qianfan's family.

If Lin Limao succeeds in building his foundation, he can then turn around and help his only nephew Lin Qianfan.

Even if Lin Limao failed to build his foundation, he would still be able to help his only nephew when he reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

This is home!

It is rare for a family to have two people with three spiritual roots in a row. In addition, the family is now in a state of disrepair and the upward path is relaxed. Lin Qianfan's family vowed to cultivate one or two people who are truly practicing foundation building in these two generations!

Lin Qianfan kept the two blue-fin sea lanceheads for himself. The fifth level of Qi Refining was the best time to take auxiliary spiritual objects. On the contrary, his uncle who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining was not suitable to eat this kind of spiritual fish.

What Lin Limao needs most now is to consolidate his foundation, refine his spiritual energy, strengthen his qi and blood, and improve his state of mind.

Lin Qianfan naturally kept the spirit stones for himself, but he did not use them to buy elixirs for cultivation immediately. Instead, he saved them for the time being.

“Going out to sea with the ship and obtaining first-hand resources, it is better to give priority to using clean native spiritual objects.”
