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

Chapter 165: Clear Rewards and Punishments [Golden Light Flashes]

After passing through the Fire Iguana Islands and leaving the relatively warm and scorching sea, the surrounding temperature dropped significantly. It was not noticeable inside the ship, but the Qi-refining monks outside the ship needed to actively control their Qi to protect themselves.

The cold weather is widespread during the storm season, and there are almost no living creatures active outside. Naturally, the demon-hunting ship did not cast a trawl net, but headed directly towards the Ichthyosaur Islands.

Entering the outskirts of the Ichthyosaur Islands,

The lonely and snowy world finally had a hint of human habitation. The Qi-refining monks still needed to engage in various activities in winter. It seemed that the life of humans was not much better than that of wild monsters.

Toot~
As the monster-hunting ship gradually approached the main island of Yanglong Bay, the bustling traffic of ships could finally be seen on the surrounding sea.

As the core of the third-level territory, various commercial activities here are still bustling even in winter.

Beep～～～～

The four boats simultaneously sounded the victory flute formation, announcing the safe return of the fleet, and also telling the relatives on the island that they could come out to greet them.

When the monster-hunting ship entered the dock, it was already filled with relatives of the boatmen and other onlookers.

"Day shift leader Lin Lixi!"

"To!"

"During this voyage, as the class leader, you will teach..."

"... "

"Apprentice Lin Qianyou!"

"To!"

"As an apprentice on board for the first time..."

The new ship Windrider sets sail for the first time.
Lin Qianfan commented on everyone's outstanding performance and shortcomings in public. Everything he said was well-reasoned and there was nothing wrong with it.

Those who perform outstandingly will be rewarded! Direct material rewards!
Those who perform poorly will be punished! Direct material punishment!
Lin Qianfan then distributed the remuneration that everyone deserved for this voyage in public.

The rewards consist of family contribution points, current spirit stones and prey. Everyone gets different amounts, but the actual amount is more than anyone expected.

The captain is not oblivious to what is happening outside.

On the contrary, the boat is so small, and the foundation-building divine consciousness completely covers everyone's every move, so Lin Qianfan's comments are pertinent, sharp and unbiased, and several relatives are not partial, and rewards and punishments are clear.

This voyage lasted more than three months.
They started by hunting in the Fire Iguana Islands during the Mid-Autumn Festival, transporting goods and people to the Molten Island, and then taking on various bounty missions with the Molten Island as the starting point. In the deep winter, they transported goods back home. The harvest was very good, so the boatmen were treated very well.

The crew members from the Hunter were used to high incomes and had prepared themselves for their earnings to be cut in half after arriving at the Windrider. However, after receiving the actual payouts, they were very satisfied and felt that the new captain was very generous.

"Thank you, Fourteenth Master, for your appreciation!"

The apprentices were even more overjoyed. It was basically the first time for them to see so much money, especially the boatmen who came from poor backgrounds. It was the first time for them to intuitively feel the extremely high income of being a boatman. At the same time, they were grateful to their family for their cultivation and thanked Lin Qianfan for giving them the opportunity.

They are still apprentices and their individual strength is very weak.

When they become formal boat workers and their skills are improved, their salaries will continue to rise, and they are full of anticipation for the future.

"Thank you, Fourteenth Master, for your appreciation!"

"You guys have fought for this all yourselves, keep up the good work!"

Saying a hundred words of encouragement or dream-making is not as inspiring as giving people real compensation.

"Go back and have a good rest. We'll set off for the northern ice field in ten days!"

"Yes!"

Although they have nearly two months less rest this year than in previous years, the money they earn can improve their families, and the boatmen are enjoying it.

"What good stuff did Qianfan bring back?"

After most of the boatmen had left, Granny Ju was finally able to take over the Wind Rider.

"These are all rare resources imported from Blazing Island. I'll store some of them in the family warehouse, and I'll ask the family to help me sell the rest in the West Coast Market."

The amiable Granny Ju seemed to have aged even more, with a sense of decadence that should not belong to a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It seemed that she had entered her twilight years, but she still clung to her post.

"Okay, Qianfan is sensible. The Lin family has successors."

If Lin Qianfan sold this shipload of goods to the family, he would actually make 20% less profit, especially when the principal was large, 20% is also a huge number, but Lin Qianfan still directly sold it to the family.

"Let's not talk about that. The entire Wind Rider was given to me by my family. How can I forget my roots?"

After unloading the cargo, the Wind Rider entered the dock.

After sailing for several months, the Wind Rider experienced several head-on collisions with second-level monsters. Although the formation was not defeated once, the Wind Rider still needed a comprehensive overhaul.

"I'm too busy. Why don't you repair your own boat? The site is ready, and I'll only charge you the cost price for the materials."

The tenth elder looked at the four ships that came in one after another. They were all overhauled in ten days. This was like treating them like cattle and horses.

"I know you're the best. You can watch the other boats first. I'll stay at the back and help when I'm free."

"Oh? Aren't you on vacation? Why aren't you free?"

"Something's wrong!"

"A monk looking for a Taoist priest?"

"I really have something to do! We discovered a lot of shortcomings during this voyage, and we need to make targeted improvements. We're a bit pressed for time." "Okay, then, you have to keep your word and come help!"

"Yes, yes! You do it first, I'll come in a couple of days."

After handing over everything, Lin Qianfan went home, not to his cave, but to his home where his parents were.

"Did you have a smooth journey?"

Although the parents knew from other people that this trip was very successful and fruitful, they still wanted to hear Lin Qianfan say it himself.

"Bon Voyage!"

Lin Qianfan took out various things specially prepared for his parents, including precious prey and foreign specialties bought from Chirong Island. Basically, they were rare things that they had never seen in their lives.

"Why is it so much? It must cost a lot of money, right?"

"Generally speaking, now that I can make money, I naturally have to spend it."

There are two foundation-building cultivators in the family. In fact, Lin's father and mother are no longer as poor as before, but the living habits they have developed over a long period of time make them still remain frugal and avoid spending money lavishly.

In their eyes, the tiny amount of money spent on Lin Qianfan was almost lavish.

"Why is there more? We can't finish it both of us!"

"Don't we have more than a dozen uncles and aunts in our family? I prepared these for them, but it's not convenient for me to come in person, so you two have to go and give them to them. It's also my token of my appreciation."

"My son is interested."

After hearing this, Lin's father and mother felt much more relieved and no longer worried about the money.
This is not for vanity, but because the son has already risen to a high position but still remembers his roots. Although these poor relatives can't help much, Lin Qianfan is a child raised in this soil. This is an unchangeable foundation. Only those who don't forget their roots can go further.

As a foundation-building cultivator, it was naturally impossible for Lin Qianfan to visit and give gifts to the Qi-refining cultivators with whom he had few personal connections.

But the fact that they are close relatives cannot be changed. I cannot give them any special care on a daily basis, but I can still provide basic material assistance. These things are not worth much to Lin Qianfan, but they can make his parents live more comfortably here.

The next day,

Lin Qianfan found Elder Xiao, the best weapon-making expert in the Lin family of Xiancheng, and planned to ask him to help refine the pair of blazing wings.

I had asked for my opinion on the way and asked him if he had any ideas. I could sell it to him at a low price. After all, this thing is most suitable for him.

But Myna did not intend to spend his money on this kind of auxiliary spiritual weapon. It would be a waste of money to refine it, and his financial situation was not as good as Lin Qianfan's, so he needed to spend money carefully.

So Lin Qianfan had to use it himself. Although the captain would not easily leave the protective formation of the monster hunting ship, it would be nice to have such a pair of wings once he left the ship.

"Sure! But I've been a bit busy these past two days, and I haven't finished the things I have on hand. Is Elder Fan in no hurry to use it?"

"You can do it before the hunting trip, depending on your schedule."

"Hmm... maybe three days later! Come find me in three days."

"Okay, see you later!"

When Lin Qianfan entrusted Elder Xiao to refine the Blazing Wings, he also requested to observe the refining process from the side.

If it were anyone else, Elder Xiao would not have had a good face, but Lin Qianfan was a little special. A young golden elixir seed like Lin Qianfan had a promising future and was very honored, so he needed to be treated with a good face.

Flying spiritual tools are just an auxiliary tool. They are faster and more flexible than conventional flying under the premise of the same spiritual power input. The essence of flying should be the ability of the cultivator himself.

The real skill is to have strong personal abilities. In the future, when you encounter flying monsters like the Seraphim, you can crush them directly.

So Lin Qianfan still needs a suitable way to escape!

The "Thirteen Steps of Cloud Eagle" that I practiced before was called body skills. Body skills are similar to escape techniques, but they are not the same thing. Body skills focus on dodging and moving at close range. They are ground skills and near-ground skills.

The art of escape is pure flying ability, which focuses on how to make yourself fly faster, more steadily, more stealthily, and more extremely. This is pure aerial ability.

Ten days is a bit too rushed to learn the escape technique thoroughly.

But you can learn it first, and then you can practice it daily when you go out to sea. It is better than nothing, and you learn by doing.

"Which one should I choose, 'Golden Light Flash' or 'Vanity Shadow Journey'?"

Lin Qianfan currently has two excellent choices, which are the two best ones selected from the Lin family collection and his past life memories.

"Golden Light Flashing in the Sky" is the most suitable for Lin Qianfan among all the gold-attribute escape techniques of the Lin family, or even all the escape techniques.

This method focuses on the pursuit of extreme speed, whether it is the long-distance golden escape or the short-distance instant air flash, it is very outstanding.

If Lin Qianfan is holding a sword, the combat capability will be significantly improved and the combat system will be more complete.

"The Wandering Shadows of All Things" is a non-attribute escape technique that Lin Qianfan had spent a lot of money to exchange for after reaching the Golden Core stage in his previous life.

This escape method is extremely concealed. There is no conspicuous golden light when flying, making it difficult to tell the real situation. It is suitable for use in many special situations.

In addition, it can also imitate other people's escape light. As long as it does not leave its own specific breath, it can confuse people under special circumstances. After all, cultivators generally have only one main attribute.

"They are all good things, but in the current situation, I still have to practice "Golden Lightning Flash" first. This can directly improve combat effectiveness and can be shown in front of others."

As for "The Wandering Shadow of All Things", it is not suitable to be shown in public. It is only suitable to be practiced secretly and used secretly, so you have to wait until you have time to practice it in the future, preferably during the storm season.

The difficulty of practicing the art of escape is not high. After all, the cultivators who have established their foundation can fly. They just use various techniques on top of their instinctive flying ability.

These skills can save more spiritual energy when flying at idle speed, increase the upper limit of high-speed flight, make dodging in the air more flexible, etc. They are improvement-type abilities.
