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

Chapter 204 reveals the ambition to unify the Lin family
North of the Whirlpool Sea,
Water clouds are everywhere, and where the water clouds are hanging upside down is the entrance to the secret realm. Many Jindan cultivators from the four regions of the inner sea have gathered here.

The people who can come here are naturally from the four regions of the inner sea. Outsiders will be driven away. However, the number of people here is not particularly large, only about a hundred or so, accounting for about 20% of the total number of Jindan in the four regions of the inner sea.

There may be a few who wanted to come but were delayed due to other things, but the vast majority of those who didn’t come will never come.

Not to mention that it is difficult for those who were recruited by the Thousand Star City to find time to venture into the secret realm. For example, the Zhang family of Yundu Island, a low-ranking Jindan force with only one or two Jindan in the early stage, is simply impossible to come to the secret realm. This move is too risky for them.

Those who can come to the secret realm are basically the idle golden elixirs of each family. Even after they come, their headquarters are still very confident that they can prevent various crises, so even the relatively safe secret realm has few people coming.

In the two thousand years of history of the Lin family, the Shuiyunjian has been opened five times. This is the fifth time, but there were only two records before this. The internal maps that can be provided are also very limited, and there are large areas of fog.

"This is the most powerful time in the history of our Lin family to enter Shuiyun Gorge. It seems that we need to take risks and explore some unknown areas to pave the way for future generations."

"That's as it should be! These things, if not done by our predecessors, will be passed down to future generations. There's no escaping them. It's precisely because no one has a good grasp of Shuiyunjian that this is also a good opportunity for us."

The usually low-key Carp Dragon Demon King was unusually radical.

Just as he said, unlike the Linglong Secret Realm, a second-level secret realm that had long been completely occupied by the Jindan forces, Shuiyunjian only opened once every five hundred years, and the Jindan who entered it were more cautious.

This has led to the fact that most Jindan forces have very limited knowledge of Shuiyunjian, and no one has a complete map. This also makes the secret realm very rich in resources, and there is also a chance to obtain treasures unexpectedly.

What is even more coincidental is that the secret environment of Shuiyunjian is dominated by water and supplemented by wood. This is the absolute home ground of Lin Haichao and the Carp Dragon Demon King. It is difficult for the two not to have high expectations for this trip.

When the clouds are thicker than the sky, it is time to enter.

Hundreds of Jindan cultivators who had some confidence in their personal strength showed their magical powers and entered the secret realm one after another. Lin Haichao also rode on a carp dragon monster and sneaked in wrapped in clouds and mist.

……

Since the two most powerful ancestors had gone out to explore the world, the internal defense of the Yulong Islands was empty, so the Wind Rider, which had just returned to the Yulong Islands for a brief rest and was about to continue to the Dark Sea, was notified to stay in the islands and take a vacation for half a month in advance.

"Oh my god! Finally a break!"

"Yeah! It's time for the Iron Puppet to rest! Working all year round is too horrible! There's no end to the money to be made..."

"You young people are just so unsatisfied! It would be so great to keep going out to sea and earning a high income!"

"Uncle, didn't you get married? Why don't you miss home at all?"

"You don't understand. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It only comes once in a lifetime! Whether it's for an individual or a family..."

"I think your uncle is afraid of his wife. I heard your aunt's cultivation is higher than yours. And she's also very aggressive! Does she have any status in the family?"

"I'm going to beat you to death, you bastard! I can't beat your aunt, but I can't deal with you? This is outrageous!"

In the past, the Lin family's monster hunting ships would go out to sea for two seasons a year and rest for two seasons, which made it easy to balance work, family and personal career. Later, the Lin family successfully got involved in the interests of the blazing sea, so they went out to sea for three seasons a year and rested for one season, which also made it possible to balance.
But since the beast tide began, they have been working non-stop for several years. They only stop to rest when Lin Qianfan reaches a critical moment in his cultivation, when the Chengfeng needs to dock for major overhaul, or when the weather is particularly bad. They are all short breaks, so some young sailors are very much looking forward to this break.

Lin Qianfan is also a layman and a young man.
He also has complete emotions and desires, especially after experiencing decades of Qi-refining life in the Yijing space, he cherishes his family, relatives and kinship even more. It is a rare holiday, so naturally he has to go home to spend time with his family.

Lin Qianfan first visited Uncle Gui's home with gifts.

Although Uncle Gui and his wife have become older, they are in good spirits and even go out fishing and drink tea every day.

It was the right decision to let Xiaoshi spend more time with them. They adopted Xiaoshi as their goddaughter several years ago and even selected a good family in Yanglongwan for her. Now Xiaoshi has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

Xiaoshi's husband's family is also the Lin family, so Xiaoshi's children naturally have the surname Lin. So even if they don't need to be adopted, they can directly call Uncle Gui and his wife grandpa and grandma, which can be regarded as a wish come true.

Xiao Shi would sometimes go to visit Lin's parents, but their home was much more lively, so she went there less often. But every time she brought her two babies, they were very popular.

Then Lin Qianfan went to the General Affairs Hall to meet the Third Elder.
After the Third Master formed his elixir, the former Fourth Elder became the current Third Elder. Although the Third Elder has not yet reached old age, he should be approaching it soon. After all, he is getting older year by year.

He was born during a period of serious internal conflict within the Lin family. He devoted his entire life to the Lin family. He has no direct descendants.
In addition, now that there are more foundation-building cultivators in the Lin family, his clerical work has become less stressful. As a junior who has received special care from him, Lin Qianfan should visit him more often.

"Don't you have the idea of refining the external elixir and making a fake elixir?"

When talking about life planning, Lin Qianfan suddenly asked this question.

"I am content to see the Lin family rise from decline. Refining an external pill is a waste of resources. I will not waste this resource and leave it to those who need it more!"

"I heard that your old rival, Elder Tao, has already reached the ninth level of foundation building and will be able to reach the Golden Core stage in a few years. By then, he will have become a Golden Core cultivator, but you will have passed away. Are you willing to accept that?"

"He's my little brother who grew up under my watch. Even though we have different philosophies, I'm happy for him and can't say I'm unhappy."

Seeing that the old man was not listening, Lin Qianfan continued talking.

"Don't you want to see me achieve the Golden Core stage? Judging from the rate you're aging, you obviously can't wait. I'm the first Golden Core cultivator born and raised in Yanglong Bay."

It's rare for Lin Qianfan to speak his mind so confidently in front of others.

"Think about it! I believe you can do it, but..."

"But bullshit! What's an external pill? It's not hard to buy! Do you think my Lin family can't afford it? Third Elder, the market has changed now. There's no need to be stingy. If you live another hundred years, your family will prosper for another hundred years. You can even see me unify the Lin family!" "You kid? Unify the Lin family? Can you do it?"

The third elder was quite heartened when he heard the first part, thinking that the younger generations were not ungrateful. But when he heard the latter part, he was a little surprised and his face was full of questions.
Lin Qianfan is already a Golden Core Seed and must have the ambition to become a Golden Core. With his steady and unpretentious cultivation pace as a foundation, and the resources he gains from sea hunting monsters and his talent as a shipwright, coupled with the Lin family's current high convenience in obtaining resources for forming a Golden Core, the possibility of him achieving the Golden Core is very high, and the Third Elder never doubts it.

But it is not easy to unify the Lin family. Although the two sides have a unified opinion on medium and large events, it is because the Lin family's foundation-building pills have a high perspective and a good understanding.
However, in small and medium-sized events, especially when it comes to the distribution of interests of the majority of Qi Refining Realm clansmen, there are actually huge differences. Although they are not very powerful, they are the foundation and soil of the Lin family.
Therefore, if one wants to unify the Lin family, he needs to have an unprecedented high prestige in the Lin family.
At least one needs to reach the late Jindan stage of cultivation or the late Jindan stage of combat power, and reach the highest peak of the Lin family's Jindan cultivators in history, in order to have such a high prestige and successfully guide the family to a thorough reform.
However, Lin Qianfan obviously has not shown the potential of this level of golden elixir now. After all, golden elixir seeds are also divided into levels.

"Of course! I can definitely do it! Not only will I unify the Lin family, I will also bring the Lin family to a higher level."

"Okay, okay, it's good to have ambition! I like it!"

"Speak frankly, Third Elder. How can I prove my potential so that I can receive the highest level of training from my family, just like how Yulong Immortal City spared no effort in training Lin Qianxue?"

Lin Qianfan has discovered that although everyone is a golden elixir seed, there are differences. He is the one who is left to roam free because his family believes that his potential is at the third level and he can just grow wildly.

But Lin Qianxue is different. She has been carefully crafted by her family with all her strength, and it is very likely that she is aiming to form a baby in the future.

How can this be done?
Lin Qianfan also has the ambition to reach the Nascent Soul stage in his heart!
However, such big talk cannot be said lightly, otherwise people will laugh at you and think that you cannot see the way clearly and are blindly arrogant.

"Simple, let me see your spiritual power."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianfan immediately used all his strength to activate the Gengjin Sword Technique, displaying his unique foundation-building spiritual power.

"So solid? This has to be at the fifth level of strength, right?"

Seeing that Lin Qianfan was serious, the third elder also became serious, but Lin Qianfan's Qi training foundation was obviously beyond his expectations.

The Third Elder knew that Lin Qianfan practiced very hard, but Lin Qianfan advanced too quickly. He had only been building his foundation for six or seven years and had already reached the third level, far exceeding the reference level of three spiritual roots.
But he didn't expect that the spiritual power strength of the third level of foundation building had already caught up with the middle stage of foundation building. This was a sign that his foundation was too solid, which could not be achieved by taking medicine.
Lin Qianfan then demonstrated his body refining skills at the peak of the early second stage. His body instantly grew three feet taller and his size expanded several times. The jade body cultivated by the Cardinal Guiyuan Sutra not only has high defense, but can even optimize the quality of the elixir. It is considered a very good secret method of elixir formation.

Then Lin Qianfan pushed the Great Sun Visualization Method to the limit, causing his eyes and eyebrows to be replaced by three great suns, and his body to be covered with golden secret patterns. Lin Qianfan's soul strength had reached the middle stage of the second order. This middle stage of the second order was not the average soul strength of a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, but the middle stage of the second order strength of one who had practiced soul techniques alone. It was highly condensed without any disintegration.

In this comparison, the Qi Refining level of the third foundation building stage actually fell to the last place and was clearly lagging behind.

"This, this, this... You cultivated the three paths of essence, energy, and spirit simultaneously, yet you achieved such success? Didn't you encounter any bottlenecks?"

"There's no major bottleneck period, and even the smaller ones can't stop me!"

When Lin Qianfan was in the Qi Refining Stage, he liked to challenge this and that to accumulate popularity and prestige, but after establishing his foundation, he became much more low-key, so that most of his true strength was hidden underwater.

"If my family hadn't included a suitable fourth-level gold-attribute technique, my foundation would have been even deeper. This is enough to prove that my cultivation talent is not constrained by my three spiritual roots, right?"

"Indeed, the strength of your set has surpassed the level of Ancestor Haichao and Ancestor Dayan back then. If we could find a way to replace it with a fourth-order gold-attribute technique, it would even be a step forward. But if you want to surpass Lin Qianxue, this alone is not enough. She can do what you can do!"

The Third Elder did not ask where Lin Qianfan's special spiritual cultivation technique came from, as it was obviously not a Lin family inheritance.
But everyone has their own secrets, and the family does not require every member to hand over the inheritance they have received to the family. However, Lin Qianxue must have some private goods prepared for her by Lin Rongrong. Having a Jindan cultivator to protect and support her throughout the whole process is an exaggerated help.

"But your foundation is also flawless. If you can find a good spiritual object that can steadily improve the quality of your elixir, you may actually be able to produce a top-grade golden elixir. Then..."

The third elder spoke more and more, and his eyes gradually brightened.

Cultivation is affected by many factors. Consuming resources does not necessarily directly reflect on cultivation or foundation. Otherwise, the big forces would have already produced strong people in unlimited batches.

Precisely because there are many uncertainties and huge individual differences, and because many people still end up with waste after eating resources, it is so precious that Lin Qianfan, who has three spiritual roots, has this talent for cultivation.

"When Haichao Patriarch comes back, I will take you to see him.

As long as you get his approval, you will be the Lin Qianxue of Yanglong Bay. He will train you no matter what.
As for the question of the technique, it's actually not a problem. As long as you spend a little more money, you can go to the Cardinal Pavilion of Thousand Star City to buy the most superior fourth-level technique fragment. If you can really make it that far, the subsequent techniques can also be exchanged for free from the Cardinal Pavilion. They have the basic responsibility of cultivating Nascent Soul cultivators for the Storm Ocean.

As for spiritual objects that can steadily improve the quality of Jindan, it depends on opportunity. If there are any, Lin Qianxue will be given priority, because training her is a major plan that has been decided long ago."

"I understand, I'm fine.
I've always had good luck, maybe I can find the corresponding spiritual object myself?"

"You boy!"

"Do you still want to see what the situation will be like a hundred years from now? In fact, with the family's current financial situation, external elixirs are not a big deal."

"Alright! Then I'll be prepared to live another hundred years and see how far you can go! It's a pity that I, an old man, have to hurry up and practice~"

"You just don't know how to appreciate the blessings you have!"

"Besides? It's still easy to beat you!"

In fact, there are third-level demon pills that meet the usage standards in the family inventory. We only need to invest more money to refine them into external pills, which can stably help people advance from the ninth level of foundation building to the false pill realm. It's just that the third elder's housekeeper has been used to being stingy all his life and is reluctant to spend money on himself.

Back home,
The family has prepared a whole table of meals, some of which are the ones that Lin Qianfan liked to eat when he was a child. Although the cost is cheap, they are homely and tasty.

Some of the ingredients are expensive. Now that the family is well off, Mr. and Mrs. Lin will not deliberately save on them. If they save, they will just throw them away.
