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

Chapter 30: Mixed Joys and Sorrows, Generous Rewards

Each demon-hunting ship was dragging a piece of trophy, and no one was willing to use medium-grade spirit stones for propulsion, so the return journey was not slow but not fast either.

A few days later, the fleet approached the Yulong Islands and could already see scattered small fishing boats of individual cultivators.

"Huh~ I'm finally home. Only in this sea can I truly feel at peace."

Compared to Yundu Island, the Yulong Islands are located farther away from the northeastern defense line, with a lower probability of encountering demon kings or pirates, and are naturally safer.

As the Yulong Fairy City appeared in everyone's sight, the eight ships sounded the return horns together.

Toot~
The deafening noise attracted the attention of the entire fairy city, and the idle monks not far from the shore ran out to watch the excitement.

"What's going on? Such a commotion? Damn! Pirate ship!"

Even if the monks near the northeastern defense line had never seen the pirate ships in person, they had all heard of their reputation. When they saw eight monster-hunting ships towing eight pirate ships, they were all shocked.

"To be precise, it's a captured pirate ship."

"Damn, how did you capture eight pirate ships?"

The Qi-refining cultivators had no idea how terrifying the pirates were and only envied others for their big gains. However, the Foundation-building cultivators had much broader horizons. They saw the infinite dangers behind the infinite scenery, and while they were envious, they also admired the strength of the Lin family fleet.

The breeze is coming,

An invisible and intangible divine power was connected to the Hunter and the Wind Chaser at the same time. After confirming the basic situation, it quietly left. Except for Lin Dayan and Lin Dalei, no one noticed that the Lin family's golden elixir had been there.

So far,

The fleet split into three and each went home.

However, the Lin family of Yulong Fairy City only took away three pirate ships, while the scene of Yanglong Bay also taking away three pirate ships attracted people's attention.

"Ah? They actually took away three boats from Yanglong Bay? Especially the largest one, they actually took it away too. This..."

Although the crowd did not know what exactly happened, they were able to guess some of the cause and effect through the distribution of spoils.

"Alas~ After all, Third Master is on the Hunter. With Third Master leading the charge, it's only natural that Yanglong Bay steals the show."

"The family was divided, and the Third Master was separated. What..."

"Shut up! Are these things you should discuss?"

The Third Master was still the Third Master before the family split up. Although he was a member of a branch family, he was respected by the entire Lin family. That was a prestige earned through hard-earned achievements in battles.

"Puff~"

The giant tusk elephant under the Fury flipped out of the water, splashing water, and looked at the departing fleet as if reluctant to leave. Compared to the complicated human hearts, the minds of the spirit beasts are much simpler.

Soon, five ships arrived at Yanglong Bay.

They were afraid to return home, especially since twenty people had died on the two boats and there were ten disabled people whose treatment cost a huge amount of money. The joy brought by the large amount of spoils had been diluted, and everyone was thinking about how to face their relatives on the shore.

The uncles, aunts, and brothers who went out to sea together were all blood-related relatives who lived together day and night. Now, the heroic souls of some of them remain on the sea forever. This emotion can knock down most men.

ashore.

The crowd attracted by the sound of the flute were originally happy to come to greet their families, but when they saw the three black ships being towed, they couldn't help but tremble.

They certainly weren't afraid of an enemy invasion. No second-tier black ship could safely cross the Lilong Fishing Grounds. What they feared was bad news befalling them. "Agui, Fan'er..."

Father Lin held Mother Lin's hand tightly and comforted her:
"It's okay. That kid has been smart since he was young, and now he's even smarter than a monkey. Turning danger into safety is just a piece of cake for him."

Lin Qianfan was also afraid that his parents would worry, so he really rushed to the bow of the ship like a monkey, hoping that his parents would see him first.

"Mother, look, it's Qianfan!"

The vision range of Qi-refining cultivators is very good, far beyond that of ordinary people. Father Lin saw Lin Qianfan standing at the bow of the ship from a long distance away.

"Where? Why can't I see it?"

Lin's mother was excited but her vision was not good enough, so she worried for a while.

It is natural to be excited when seeing the person you have been looking forward to, but a few families who have not seen the person they have been looking forward to feel a sinking feeling in their hearts, as if the sea water is gradually flooding into their chests, and they are unable to breathe due to the pressure of the water.

Docked.

The originally chattering crowd had already fallen silent. The two boats carried the tribesmen who had died in the battle and were buried one by one. Their originally mutilated bodies had been tidied up by the Third Master's magic, and they were dressed in new and decent standard sailor uniforms.

The whole audience was in a state of silence. The originally happy family also joined in the grief, and only the family members of the deceased were left sobbing.

Although I had foreseen and accepted this outcome when I boarded the ship, it was still very devastating when it actually happened.

Fortunately, the Lin family has a complete pension mechanism.

Those members of the clan who died in battle defending their families and clans will be buried with honor. Their direct blood relatives will not only inherit their property in full but also receive a good ongoing pension. As long as their descendants are more motivated, they will also receive extra attention and training from the family.

It is precisely because of these safety net systems that every Lin family soldier can be worry-free when facing danger.

"Lin Qianfan!"

"To!"

The sorrow is only temporary, life must go on. After the sacrifices are made, it is time to publicly distribute rewards to everyone.

The rewards for Ice Monster Hunting are distributed in the normal way, but they are different from those for Pirate Battles.

During naval battles, each team does not need to hand over the storage bags of enemy repairmen they kill and capture to the clan, but can distribute them among the teams themselves. After capturing an enemy ship, the collective spoils will also be distributed in the normal way, with the clan taking half, Jiu Ye taking a quarter, and the remaining quarter being shared by everyone according to their ranking.

What is special is the three spirit ships. Qi-refining cultivators do not participate in the distribution of the three second-order spirit ships. As for how the three foundation-building cultivators finally negotiated with the family, Lin Qianfan has no idea. It is meaningless to care before your status reaches that level.

"Lin Qianfan, this is your share. Keep up the good work. You're quite good. You might even have a chance to build your foundation."

Jiu Ye rarely gave praise and encouragement in public.

This time, the spoils were distributed personally by Jiu Ye, who used his spiritual sense as a foundation-building cultivator to monitor the performance of the entire ship. The spoils were distributed very fairly, and no one raised any objections.

Lin Qianfan was finally assigned:
Over a thousand kilograms of flesh and blood of a first-level monster, over a thousand kilograms of ordinary spirit fish, over a hundred kilograms of flesh and blood of a second-level monster, half a bottle of Huiyuan Dan, half a bottle of Buxue Dan, half a bottle of Juqi Dan, two pieces of first-level Ziyang Warm Jade, one large and one small, thirty spirit stones as an extra reward for defeating a strong enemy, ten basic monthly contribution points, and two dozen high-quality talismans left over from battles.

If one adds to that the various miscellaneous spiritual objects worth more than one hundred spirit stones that he had previously obtained from the enemy cultivator's storage bag, as well as a top-grade magic net bag, Lin Qianfan's wealth skyrocketed.

It can be called a wave of fat!
