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

Chapter 42: Hands-on instruction on building a spirit ship

It was also because his current strength had surpassed all the mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators and he had become the number one Sea Hunter below the late stage of Qi Refining. He could even tie with the very few uncles and aunts who were at the seventh stage of Qi Refining.

Strong strength and high status have a significant impact on the distribution of benefits.

In addition, the storm season will last for three months, and the sea hunters will not have any harvest in the next three months. Lin Qianfan can only get the most basic monthly salary of 15 points, so the income of a few hundred spirit stones after dilution is not exaggerated.

It can meet Lin Qianfan's current rapid growth needs, but there are not many remaining spirit stones, and it is far from being rich.

"You still have to work hard. Only when you become a formal shipbuilder and a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining can you have real say in the family and bring blessings to your family."

Although the Lin family is a Jindan force with a three-tier power structure, in fact, the late Qi-refining cultivators with certain abilities within the Lin family have considerable power.

The Jindan cultivators of the Lin family have been practicing hard, rarely appearing in public, and rarely interfering in practical affairs.

However, the Lin family has few foundation-building cultivators, and everyone has his own things to do, so a lot of power is divided up and delegated to deacons/class leaders and other people in the late stage of Qi training.

"Myna, you have to work hard even on your vacation. Maybe you won't be my match next time we meet."

When the two brothers parted, Lin Qianfan deliberately provoked them.

"Don't be so arrogant, you little brat. I'm going to teach you a lesson right now."

"Haha~"

Everyone has witnessed Lin Qianfan's growth and has even been influenced by him. Now a wave of cultivation has been set off on the Sea Hunter. Except for a few old sailors who are leisurely, everyone else is working hard and trying to take one more step forward.

"Qianshan, when you have time, go to the library and read the jade slips more often. You can find the answers to many of your questions there. Also, the amount of elixirs that aid in cultivation is fine. Too much is as bad as too little. Do you understand?"

After the brothers got to know each other better, Lin Qianfan discovered that Lin Qianshan was a man of good character and great determination.

So Lin Qianfan didn't mind providing him with some more help to help him complete his initial transformation.

As for going to the library to read books, there is also a story behind it. Lin Qianfan would use his spare time to study various jade slips. He only regretted not having read enough books when he needed them. There are many benefits to improving his knowledge structure.

"Brother Qianfan, I remember it."

"Well, let's go."

Lin Qianfan was afraid that since he got so much money for the first time, he would not be able to control himself and would exchange it all for cultivation pills, which would be counterproductive.

Remember that more haste makes waste! Fast is slow!
Haven't you seen that Lin Qianfan has been practicing at super high intensity for half a year and is still at the fifth level of Qi Refining? This is not because Lin Qianfan intentionally suppresses his realm, but because he is making up for the foundation he has laid over the past years.

This foundation is not as simple as the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth levels of the Qi Refining Stage, but rather the first one, two, three, fourth, and fifth small steps on one's entire journey to immortality. They cannot be taken lightly and must be extremely solid.

Otherwise, achieving immortality is just empty talk!
The next day, at the beginning of the Mao hour.

"It's been over half a month since I last ate bluefin sea lancehead. It's time for another one."

Compared with other spiritual objects, the effect of the bluefin sea spearhead is more direct and the progress of cultivation is more obvious, but Lin Qianfan still controls the dosage and frequency, and only doubles his cultivation progress.

At the end of Mao Shi.

After completing his Qi refining training, Lin Qianfan continued to practice various combat methods. The sword skills and body skills that he had practiced frequently had been integrated. Lin Qianfan began to focus on strengthening his magical abilities and the newly expanded skills in using the spirit bow.

The Spirit Bow might not be very effective against stronger targets, but it was generally quite effective against those weaker than oneself, or those with less spiritual power than oneself. Furthermore, it was excellent for sneak attacks, providing an effective threat against both demonic beasts and cultivators. Therefore, Lin Qianfan would often practice with it during his free time.

At 3:00 p.m., Lin Qianfan arrived at Uncle Gui's house as agreed.

"We've got a big job this time, and my father and I will be busy."

"Oh? What big job?"

"Build new spirit ships! And three new spirit ships!"

Although Uncle Gui didn't have many opportunities to take on private work as a shipbuilder, because he often touched second-level spirit ships, his skills were well-known among first-level shipbuilders, and he could also take on jobs such as building new spirit ships from scratch.

"Here are their blueprints. Familiarize yourself with them. One for gathering, one for breeding, and one for clearing. All the refining work will be left to you, and the formations will be left to me. As for the runes, you can choose them first and do what you are capable of. I'll take care of the rest."

Uncle Gui would always seek help when building spirit ships in the past. It wasn’t because he couldn’t do it, but because more people could help and divide the work and save time.

Lin Qianfan is now in a period of rapid growth, so naturally he needs to be given more opportunities for practical operations. This complete construction process from zero to one is very important to Lin Qianfan, even more important than participating in the repair of the second-level spirit ship.

"okay!"

Lin Qianfan did not mention the issue of remuneration. According to past practice, Uncle Gui would consider the remuneration based on Lin Qianfan's specific contributions.

But this time the situation is a little different...

It was the first time for Lin Qianfan to independently refine all the components of an entire spirit ship, which was very challenging. Although he had touched and seen important components like the keel many times, this was his first time to do it himself. He felt a little excited and a little nervous.

"Once you cross that line, you'll be one step closer to becoming a full-fledged shipbuilder."

Lin Qianfan naturally had similar experiences in his memory, but those were only pale memories of his previous life, and the process of turning them into his own needs to be experienced personally.

Every afternoon thereafter,

Lin Qianfan would go to Uncle Gui's house to participate in shipbuilding, refining components from easy to difficult, step by step, and then ponder the details and difficulties before going to bed every day and integrate them with his past life memories.

Lin Qianfan quickly completed the challenge and fully mastered the refining skills that a first-level shipbuilder should have.

"Next comes the rune part."

The knowledge about runes has long been digested and absorbed, but knowing it in the brain does not mean knowing it in the hands. There is a huge gap between them.

Lin Qianfan had assisted in carving many runes before and had some experience in this area, but each time he was carving non-critical parts, which were relatively easy to complete. His experience was not deep enough and he had not yet reached the level of challenging himself.

This time, Uncle Gui told him to go all out and not worry about the losses. He let him choose his own runes, which gave Lin Qianfan the opportunity to make a big breakthrough based on his current level.

“Phew, that’s hard.”

"Hands, eyes, heart, and spirit are all indispensable."

Compared to the refining skills with a higher tolerance rate, the price to be paid for failure in rune carving is higher. Some serious mistakes may even destroy the refining components, causing their spiritual charm to be lost and completely scrapped. Therefore, the progress of rune carving from easy to difficult is very slow.

Fortunately, the uncle and nephew were fully responsible for the construction of the spirit ship, which saved a lot of extra costs, so they could accept Lin Qianfan's partial failure and use the profits to cover the losses.
