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

Chapter 213: Large Monster Hunting Ship, Green Dragon Fish, Corpse Realm
Molten Island,
In Blazing Fairy City, there is an independent observation tower outside the city.

"A large ship is coming in, and the port district is preparing to welcome it! It's going to be expensive to entertain... Huh? Something's wrong! Why is this ship so shabby?"

The monk in charge of guarding the monitoring formation discovered through high-definition images that something seemed wrong with the incoming ship and immediately became alert.

"Something's wrong! Is this a ghost ship? Alert! Alert! All colleagues in the watchtower, be alert! It looks like a ghost ship! Ding ding~~"

The Blazing Fairy City is located inland from the Blazing Island. If you want to dock, you need to walk along the canal for a while first, so that no boats will enter by mistake.

Soon, the foundation-building monks in the watchtower made further confirmation of the incoming ship and confirmed that it was not a ghost ship, but a large monster-hunting ship that had received a mission from the Blazing Immortal City a few days ago.

However, almost all the people on the ship had died, and now only the seriously injured captain was left who could barely steer the ship back.

"Friend Jiu, take this Heart Protecting Pill quickly. How did you end up like this? What on earth happened to your ship?"

"Ghost... Corpse Puppet... Bone General... Starfall Corpse Realm... Top-level Core Formation Spirit Item Nine Heavens Purple Extreme..."

The captain, who was at the seventh level of foundation building, was seriously injured. It looked as if his yang energy had been sucked dry by a ghost. If it were not for the protection of this durable large monster-hunting ship, he might never come back.

This once majestic large monster-hunting ship was also beaten to pieces by unknown creatures. It looked like a ghost ship dug out from an underwater cemetery and was completely lifeless.

"What? Nine Heavens Purple Extreme Mysterious Sky Jade Dew?"

The questioner didn't hear any of the other key points, or rather, he selectively ignored them. The only thing he heard was the core message he brought back:
The top-level spiritual object for forming elixirs, an object from outer space, and the Nine Heavens Purple Extreme Mysterious Sky Jade Dew that can significantly improve the quality of forming elixirs was born at the Shipwreck Reef!

This news was reported immediately at the speed of light, reported to the Blazing Immortal City and the New Business Alliance behind it. Logically, this level of news should have been hidden by the Blazing Immortal City, and then a few people from the Jindan forces would personally explore and seize this opportunity. However, for some reason, the Blazing Immortal City finally issued a public reward.

Led by the New Business Alliance, with responses from several Jindan forces near the southern part of the Blazing Sea, and organized and coordinated by the Qiao family of Blazing Immortal City, a large-scale second-level mission was issued to openly invite Foundation Establishment experts to jointly eliminate the Corpse Puppet Secret Realm and seize the Nine Heavens Purple Extreme Mysterious Sky Jade Dew. Participation was required, and only those with medium-sized or large-sized monster hunting ships were allowed to sign up.
Tonglefang Market,

Having just unloaded the cargo that was brought along along the way and was about to continue going deeper into the blazing sea to the Blazing Fairy City to receive the [Details of the Exploration and Discovery of the Shipwreck Reef Area] previously released by the New Business Alliance, the Wind Rider made an emergency U-turn and returned directly to the Ichthyosaur Islands.

“It’s actually the Nine Heavens Purple Extreme Mysterious Sky Jade Dew!”

Lin Qianfan's mind was filled with complex emotions. This thing was top-notch among the top-tier, coming from outer space, from the core of a meteorite. Just one piece could significantly improve the quality of his elixir, and it was exactly what he had been dreaming of.
It is no exaggeration to say that it can allow the original sixth level of the Golden Core to leap to the seventh level of the Golden Core, and can even help the seventh level of the Golden Core to leap to the eighth level of the Golden Core. This kind of violently pulling up divine objects is very rare, even beyond Lin Qianfan's initial expectations, but now it has been exposed in advance, full of unknowns.

"It seems this is the same thing as what happened with the Red Demon Shark back then!"

The Lin family now holds a core position in the interest circle of the Blazing Sea, so naturally, they were immediately informed of the specific news. This "shipwreck reef" incident was originally supposed to have been caused by a volcanic eruption, which opened up a hidden secret area near the Star-Moon Reef.
This secret realm has never appeared before. Judging from the living creatures and resources produced therein, it is very likely an alien secret realm that has been crossed through a space rift. It comes from outside the Storm Ocean!

It was confirmed by the Jindan Zhenren of the Qiao family in Blazing Immortal City that it was only a second-level secret realm. A Jindan cultivator entering it would likely cause it to collapse directly, so only foundation-building cultivators could enter to explore.

In order to be fair to all the families and to bring in some cannon fodder, each family agreed not to use fake Dan monks, and only send in foundation-building monks, in order to attract more foundation-building forces to join.

But the small monster-hunting ship is definitely there to deliver food, so it must be a medium or large monster-hunting ship, and the captain must be in the middle or late stage of foundation building.

Lin Qianfan immediately returned to the Ichthyosaur Islands, not because he was afraid of fighting, nor did he give up directly. Instead, he raised the danger level of this trip in his mind and planned to go home to update the monster hunting ship for more stability.

Fish-dragon Fairy City,

Lin Qianfan found Lin Qianxue who was studying the second-level formation, and asked to borrow the brand new large monster hunting ship "Green Dragon Fish" which was completed by the Lin family of Xiancheng a few years ago.

"You want to challenge the Starfall Corpse Realm? You're only at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. It would be too disadvantageous to compete with others. Why don't you just give up?"

Lin Qianfan has never agreed to compete with Lin Qianxue, so she doesn't know what level of strength Lin Qianfan is at now.

But according to the current information, most of the monster hunting ships that went to explore before have sunk into the sea forever. Even the large monster hunting ships are not safe. What's more, Lin Qianfan's cultivation is a little poor. He can barely control the large monster hunting ship, but it is not perfect.

"I only have one chance! I don't know how many years it will take for me to wait for this level of top-level Jindan spiritual object again. It's even possible that I won't be able to wait until it reaches the Jindan stage. I can't miss it!"

"But…"

"How can cultivation always be smooth sailing? It's necessary to make some breakthroughs. Besides, I also want to form a high-grade golden elixir!"

Lin Qianxue originally wanted to persuade him again. After all, the versatility shown by Lin Qianfan was very valuable. He had a great chance of forming a pill in the future. It would be a pity if he was sacrificed.

But when she heard that Lin Qianfan's ambition was also to form a high-grade golden elixir, she couldn't say a word of comfort. Lin Qianfan didn't have as good a family background as her, and he didn't have a golden elixir elder to teach him personally and collect resources. Sometimes he had to fight for his goals. If she continued to persuade him, it would be like he was just eating meat and blocking his way.

"I'll lend you this. Good luck!"

Lin Qianxue smiled sweetly, agreed to lend the boat directly, and gave her a defensive talisman that Lin Rongrong gave her to save her life.

"I agreed that I was just lending it to you, but you must return it in the future!"

Obviously, Lin Qianxue didn't have much experience in making friends, so she specifically emphasized that it was just a temporary loan to avoid any misunderstanding from Lin Qianfan.

"Thank you for your sponsorship, Ms. Lin! If I really have any extra, I'll sell it to you at a higher price! The premise is that there are really extra!"

Lin Qianfan naturally couldn't be polite and accepted it immediately. This defensive talisman was more precious and valuable than the offensive talisman Lin Haichao gave him. He couldn't buy it even if he wanted to. "If you keep talking nonsense, give it back to me immediately!"

Without staying or continuing to tease, Lin Qianfan went straight to the dock area and went straight to the Bilongyu which was docked at the innermost position.

The Green Dragon Fish is a new warship designed and built by the Xiancheng Shipyard four years ago under the premise of good economic conditions and after the production capacity of monster hunting ships in the Yulong Islands was saturated.

Before the Lin family split up, the flagship of the Lin family's monster hunting fleet was the Hunter, but when the family split up, the Hunter was given to Yanglong Bay. This resulted in the Xiancheng Lin family not having a large monster hunting ship. Because they didn't have a captain in the late foundation building stage, they didn't need a large monster hunting ship for the time being.

Later, Lin Dalei successfully advanced to the late stage of foundation building, and San Ye went into seclusion to prepare for the formation of the elixir. They wanted to buy back the Hunter at a high price, but is Yanglong Bay short of money?
Obviously, Yanglongwan is not short of money. Yanglongwan needs to use the Hunter to continue training Jiu Ye, so naturally it refuses to sell it!
As the fleet of the Xiancheng Lin family grew larger and larger, the number of monster hunting ships in the Yulong Islands increased to saturation, and the production capacity of the Xiancheng shipyard could not be left idle. In addition, the Xiancheng Lin family also needed a decent flagship, so they had the current Green Dragon Fish.

During the Beast Tide, the Green Dragon Fish was brought under the control of Elder Lin Dalei, who set out to hunt monsters and protect the safety of the Fish Dragon Islands.
When the beast tide subsided, the Blue Dragon Fish returned to Lin Qianxue's control. The monster hunting ship is a more reliable, more powerful, and more comprehensive weapon than a second-level spiritual weapon. She also needs to practice and master the use of borrowed ships to fight, so she borrowed a ship today.

Toot~
"Let's set sail~"

The current crew consists of all the crew members of the Windrider and all the backbone crew members of the Green Dragon Fish who are in the late stage of Qi Refining.

"This boat is amazing! It's new, big, and awesome. If only..."

"What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight?"

The old boatmen have strong adaptability. They have driven the large ship Hunter before and have plenty of experience in driving ships. They just need to familiarize themselves with the new ship conditions and get used to the relatively unfamiliar Xiancheng Lin family. They can be completely trusted.

Compared to the Windrider, the Blue Dragon Fish has improved all aspects of its attributes. The most noticeable one is its weapon system. The Blue Dragon Fish has been equipped with six psychic cannons. The firepower of six second-level high-quality psychic cannons firing at the same target is equivalent to that of a small or medium-sized fleet. Ordinary second-level early and middle-stage monsters are unlikely to be able to withstand it.

In addition to the six psychic cannons, there are also three large harpoons and two sets of giant monster killer attack systems.

The ability to hold so many weapon systems is not only because the large ship is larger, but also because the large ship has lost interest in the spirit fish and the little monsters, and has reduced some of its operating tools. The main hunting target of the large ship is still the early and middle stage second-order monsters, and they are heading for them.

The benign demon pills needed by the Jindan forces and which can be used to refine foundation-building pills are generally produced by large demon-hunting ships. This is why large demon-hunting ships can cultivate Jindan seeds while paying high salaries to all ship workers. The profits are high!
In addition to offensive weapons, the defense capability has also been significantly improved. The newly built Blue Dragon Fish has upgraded its original defense system. In addition to the conventional defense shell, there is also a spare shell. Once the enemy shatters the first layer with a strong attack or by ramming the ship, the second layer can be activated instantly.

Due to the limited carrying capacity, the maximum power of the first shell is the peak of the second stage, while the second layer is only at the beginning of the late second stage, but this is enough. It can buy time for the restart of the first shell and minimize the defensive window period of the monster hunting ship.
Since Lin Qianxue's use was taken into consideration at the beginning of the design, the design draft of this ship was supervised by the ancestor Lin Rongrong. She also installed several other comprehensive second-order formations on the above basis. Otherwise, why would it be called a "new-style warship"?

The fact that its construction cost is far higher than the average level of large monster-hunting ships in the Western Regions is one of the reasons why Lin Qianfan has the confidence to make this trip.

Blazing Immortal City,

The Blue Dragon Fish successfully received the relevant tasks, so it was obviously impossible for it to be the first one to come.
"Fellow Daoist Qiao, do you have any information on other demon-hunting ships?"

After ten years, Qiao Mufeng has become the foreign affairs elder of Chiyan Immortal City, holding considerable power and enjoying a prosperous life.

"Ordinarily, this registration form shouldn't be leaked, but since Brother Lin needs it, how can I refuse? But don't leak it, or I'll be in big trouble! Remember!"

What he said was half true and half false. If someone of status asked him for help, he would naturally make friends with him and would not even dare to refuse. The Qiao family could only be considered relatively respectable among the small Jindan forces, and there were people they could not afford to offend.

"Thank you, Brother Qiao. If I find anything, I'll definitely bring it to Blazing Immortal City and sell it to you at a low price!"

"I'm really looking forward to it. Congratulations in advance to Brother Lin on his success!"

Although they were both foundation-building cultivators under the Jindan force, there was an objective gap in their identities, which made him extremely envious.

After Lin Qianfan left, Qiao Mufeng took out another jade slip and wrote down information about Lin Qianfan, especially emphasizing the brand new and majestic Bilongyu, which Lin Qianfan had used for the first time. However, after a little hesitation, he deleted all the information about Lin Qianfan.

"It seems that this Brother Lin is not simple. He must be the Lin family's hidden golden elixir seed. We can't afford to offend him, we can't afford to offend him!"

If you use the information about Lin Qianfan to make friends with other people, you may offend Lin Qianfan. The Lin family now has too much say, so it is best not to provoke them if possible, even in trivial matters.

Toot~
After receiving the latest news about the shipwreck reef area and the Starfall Corpse Realm, the Blue Dragon Fish continued to head south towards the target sea area.

"There are quite a few highly intelligent red ghost sharks, second-level ghosts, artificial corpse puppets, and bone warriors. To be able to control so many second-level beings at once, he must be at least a peak second-level being, or even a pseudo-third-level creature like the Cold Pond Giant Seal. What kind of species is this? Is it still a red ghost shark?"

According to the latest news from the Chiyan Immortal City, the three evil creatures causing trouble outside are ghosts, corpse puppets, and bone generals, while the ones hiding underwater and secretly controlling them are the red ghost sharks. This group of red ghost sharks obviously come from the same source - the master behind the Starfall Corpse Realm!

"The New Merchant Alliance gave up on their crusade. While part of the reason was because their foundation-building skills were so poor that they didn't even have two decent monster-hunting ships, the main reason was probably that this secret realm was much more difficult than expected!"

Compared with the Linglang Secret Realm, the Cold Pond Giant Seal cannot control other water spirit guards, but the master of this Starfall Corpse Realm can control and drive other creatures. The huge gap between them can be seen from this.

The New Merchant Alliance does not have a large monster-hunting ship and cannot eat this piece of meat, but several other nearby Jindan forces do have large monster-hunting ships, but they also did not try to take the lead, but chose to do it publicly, which shows that they are not sure and need cannon fodder.

"This is my chance too! I hope everything goes well!"

With the area of a mere second-level secret realm, as long as Lin Qianfan enters safely, he can quickly locate the target spiritual object through Xinqi Haiyin and Haihuan Yingyu. He may also be able to use the cover of other monster-hunting ships to capture the target out of wits, without even having to show up publicly.

Although he knew the coordinates of the Falling Star Corpse Realm, Lin Qianfan did not rush there immediately, but deliberately avoided it.
