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

Chapter 8: Fishing Practice, Fishing at the Carp Dragon Fishing Ground

The work was not tiring when the two of them worked together. The father and son finished their work for the day early and returned to the dock area early.

"Dad, you go sell these demon turtle materials and this carp dragon fish. I'll go get the whole fishing rod."

"Do you really want to catch carp and dragon fish?"

"Of course! A mature dragonfish costs at least a dozen spirit stones. I want to get a few and sell them for pills."

Lin Ligui originally wanted to give him some advice, but thinking that his son was already so old, he just let him do what he wanted.

"Go early and come back early, your mother has prepared some food tonight."

"Okay~"

Lin Qianfan, who possesses a vast treasure trove of knowledge and strong hands-on ability, naturally needs to slowly realize his potential.

It is legal and compliant to use fishing rods to hunt spiritual fish in the Lilong Fishery in moderation, and no one else will interfere.

It was getting dark.

Lin Qianfan, who had obtained a special fishing rod and special bait, returned home.

"Qianfan, where have you been? Why are you back so late?"

"Myna! I haven't been back to Yanglong Bay for a long time. I went to the market to take a look around."

Myna is Lin Qianfan's cousin within the fifth generation of mourning. He is ten years older than Lin Qianfan and their grandfather's grandfather is the same person, so he took good care of Lin Qianfan on the boat.

Today, Lin's mother specially prepared a lot of dishes, and Lin's father made a special trip to call him over for dinner, also taking the opportunity to promote the relationship between the two brothers. Family affection is not maintained by blood, but still requires more daily life and hardships to be experienced together.

"I haven't seen you for a month, and you've become much stronger."

"Second uncle!"

Second uncle Lin Limao is the family's foundation-building seed. He does not need to undertake heavy work and only holds an idle position. His main task now is to practice and reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible.

Family dinner, a happy family of five.

After the meal, Lin Qianfan returned to his stone cave with a full stomach and immediately began to sit cross-legged to refine the spiritual food for dinner.

The spiritual energy in spiritual food is originally relatively docile, so it will not put too much burden on the meridians.

"Phew~ warm and comfortable!"

After exhaling a breath of foul air and impurities, Lin Qianfan felt that his practice this time was equivalent to several days of morning exercises.

"It's good to have money. It feels great."

With sufficient resources, the speed of cultivation can be greatly accelerated, so those who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth can often achieve great achievements at a young age.

But Lin Qianfan knew that this path was not omnipotent, but rather had many limitations. Only the spiritual power that he tamed bit by bit by himself was the most solid spiritual power with a solid foundation.

However, the tamed spiritual power absorbed directly is often not solid enough. If it is done frequently without being consolidated in time, it will inevitably lead to a weak foundation over time. One day, you will need to go back and make up for the foundation.

While he was still in good condition, Lin Qianfan took out the smaller bluefin sea spearhead and cut it into pieces. He ate it raw while refining and absorbing it.

Compared to the complex spiritual power contained in tonight's spiritual meal, the spiritual energy contained in the bluefin sea spearhead is much purer, and its negative impact on the foundation is much smaller. This is why it is precious.

"This fish saved me half a month of training. It's really a treasure. I didn't have such good training conditions in my previous life."

Unlike the last time when he only ate some leftovers on the boat, this time he had a whole spirit fish. Lin Qianfan felt very full and had made obvious progress.

"It can't be used any more in the short term. I need to consolidate my foundation and practice with a balance of intensity and relaxation."

In fact, going out to sea with the ship is the best way to consolidate your foundation. Monster hunting ships often go to places with thin spiritual energy. As long as you still insist on practicing every day in these barren places, this itself is a kind of consolidation.

In addition, fighting against sirens and training in harsh environments can be considered as consolidating the foundation.

At the beginning of Mao Shi.

Lin Qianfan's biological clock woke him up on time.

Cultivation is a process that accumulates over time. You cannot slack off just because your practice has accelerated in a short period of time. On the contrary, taming the natural spiritual power every day is the most important/basic thing.

As the Gengjin spiritual power circulated around the body, Lin Qianfan felt that today's practice was very efficient.

"Huh~ I've absorbed a lot of the spiritual energy that was stagnant in my body last night. It feels so good to have my strength growing little by little."

Daily practice is like adding water to a water tank. The difference is that the water tank will become bigger and bigger during the process of adding water. After reaching a certain level, it will be difficult to drain the water out. This is called a bottleneck.

The last time Lin Qianfan encountered a bottleneck was when he was progressing from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level. However, his parents had some savings and directly gave Lin Qianfan the Mirror-Breaking Pill, which prevented him from being stuck for years.

Now, as long as I maintain this diligent practice, the next bottleneck will only appear between the sixth and seventh levels of Qi Refining.

The beginning of the Chen hour.

Lin Qianfan finished his homework and then continued to go out to sea with his father.

Same route, same process. The only difference was that the father and son did not finish work and go home immediately today, but started fishing leisurely.

Father Lin sailed the boat slowly.

huh~
Lin Qianfan controlled the fishing rod with a smooth, flowing motion. All fishermen knew how to do this, but it was generally only the young who were interested. People like Lin's father, who had been eating spirit fish all his life, weren't interested in fishing. He wouldn't have come if it weren't for the holiday with his son.

"Huh? Your bait is a little special. It has a strange fragrance."

"Hush! Dad, steer the boat well, don't let the big fish pull you away."

"coming!"

Shortly after setting the hook, Lin Qianfan felt a powerful force on his hand. This was definitely no ordinary spirit fish. He yanked the rod hard to secure the hook, then tugged at his target, unfazed by the thought of breaking the specially crafted line.

Wow~

A mature carp dragon fish, two and a half feet long, reflecting a blue glow in the sun, was pulled out of the sea and struggled hard.

"Tian Hong! It's really a carp dragon fish. How did you do it?"

Father Lin didn't expect that Lin Qianfan was serious.

Lin Qianfan used the knowledge in his memory to simply replicate a simple version of a special fishing rod and bait, and he was fishing for the ace species of the Carp Dragon Fishery - the Carp Dragon Fish, which has a hint of dragon blood!

Mature carp dragon fish are very valuable. The recycling price at Yanglongwan Wharf starts at more than ten spirit stones per fish. They are usually sent to the tables of important people or sent to Yulong Fairy City for sale.

The Lin family also fishes in a planned manner and does not overfish. I have never heard of anyone being able to catch fish steadily through fishing.

"Hehe~ I caught a carp dragon fish, but it's a pity that it's not a carp dragon fish demon. It would be much better if it was a carp dragon fish demon."

"Nonsense! How can the two of us deal with the carp-dragon-fish monster?"

There is a huge hurdle between the spirit fish and the sirens.

Spirit fish cannot practice cultivation. They can only passively absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Their bodies are nourished by the spiritual energy, so they can directly become nutrients for human cultivators and can be directly refined.

Except for the siren species that can directly give birth to monsters, spirit fish/beasts need to become intelligent to become monsters. Once they become intelligent, they will instinctively awaken some simple means of refining spiritual energy/other various powers, thereby turning the pure spiritual power in the body into controllable monster power, monsterizing part of the body and gaining stronger power.

As the name suggests, the carp dragon fish monster is a carp monster with an extremely weak trace of dragon blood. However, this extremely weak trace of dragon blood gives them a possibility of transforming into a dragon and embarking on the path of returning to their ancestral bloodline. Therefore, the value of the carp dragon fish monster is far higher than that of the carp dragon fish. They can be contracted by themselves or auctioned at a high price.

"rise!"

"fall!"

The carp dragon fish is very strong. Although Lin Qianfan pulled it violently, he did not try to show off his strength. Instead, he tried to use the flexible fishing rod and fishing line to slide it around a few times to consume its physical strength.

"rise!"

The carp dragon fish only has brute force. After repeatedly exerting its strength several times, it will pull itself up violently.

The specially made fishing rod and fishing line were strong and flexible, and were not broken by the fierce resistance of the carp dragon fish.

"peaceful!"

Lin Qianfan pulled the exhausted carp dragon fish closer, and Lin's father subdued it with a powerful sleeping spell, calming it down.

"Not bad, a safe catch. Even though the fish isn't big, I've got at least fifteen spirit stones. That's easy money, isn't it?"

Father Lin took the sleeping, perfect-looking carp dragon fish and put it into the live water fish tank.

"No, it's not easy. There aren't many people with my skills."

There must be something similar in the Jindan family's heritage, but carp and dragon fish are sustainable resources, and the family will definitely not agree to allow ordinary members to catch them on a large scale.

"Where did it come from?"

"I'm an adult, secret!"

Father Lin smacked his lips, thinking that his son was no longer under his control when he grew up. He had a secret. In a few years, his son's cultivation would surpass his own. Thinking of this, Father Lin felt both happy and disappointed.

"Yohoo, here it comes again, and this time it's a big one!"

　The vast majority of cultivators have five spiritual roots, followed by four spiritual roots, whether in the entire cultivation world or within families.

　　The three spiritual roots are relatively rare and have a certain value in cultivation, but one needs to demonstrate his or her extraordinary qualities.

　　For families/small and medium-sized forces, people with two spiritual roots are considered to be little geniuses, and they are foundation-building seeds as soon as they appear.

　　People with special spiritual roots are geniuses in any force. Small forces cannot control them, but they can also receive additional training in large forces.

　　People with natural spiritual roots are extremely rare and hard to come by. They are the chosen ones of heaven. There is no bottleneck before the Nascent Soul stage, but everyone is equal before the Nascent Soul tribulation.

　　The Nascent Soul Tribulation is a super watershed. After the Nascent Soul stage, everyone is like a dragon. The significance of spiritual roots and talents is no longer significant for Nascent Soul cultivators. At this time, what matters is the comprehensive consideration of multiple dimensions such as opportunity, comprehension, and Tao heart.
