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

Chapter 43: The Master-Disciple Relationship, Fame in the Training Ground
But the coverage is also limited.

Whenever the losses caused by Lin Qianfan reached the upper limit of the losses that the two could bear, Uncle Gui would take over the subsequent work to control the losses, and at the same time let Lin Qianfan observe the subsequent work up close.

Working at this pace, the uncle and nephew spent more than a month completing the construction of three boats.

In the end, I didn’t make a penny.

Lin Qianfan used all the profits to break through the upper limits of his weapon refining and rune skills.

But the result was good. By continuously refining all the components of three ships, Lin Qianfan has become a late-stage first-level weapon refiner.

I have also made great progress in runes. For the first ship, I could only complete the first 30% of the rune part independently from easy to difficult, and then observe Uncle Gui to complete the remaining 70%.

But by the third boat, Lin Qianfan was able to complete the first 70% independently after some bumps and bruises, and only needed to observe the last and most difficult 30%.

In terms of rune abilities alone, Lin Qianfan can be considered a mid-level first-level rune master.

In addition to shipbuilding, he can also complete most of the other rune work. As for the remaining 30%, although he has not yet overcome it directly, he has also benefited a lot from observing it up close several times.

As for the formation, Lin Qianfan rarely had the opportunity to practice it. If he tried again, the uncle and nephew would have to lose money, which was unnecessary.

The array has a lower tolerance rate. Once the array fails, it is likely to cause damage to the previous runes and refining work. Once a chain reaction is triggered, it will be a triple blow, resulting in heavy losses.

However, after watching Uncle Gui set up a complete formation and refine the power core from scratch three times in a row, Lin Qianfan has benefited a lot.

In the formation section, Lin Qianfan has mostly feelings and understandings, but lacks practical verification, so he is in the early stages.

"There's not much I can teach you. What you lack right now is practical experience. I'm just a small family here and can't handle more intense training."

"Go to the dock area more often when you have time. The funding for training apprentices there is higher. Although you are not an official apprentice in the dock area, the Tenth Elders value talent and will not care about this."

Uncle Gui's words today were not as kind as usual, but much more serious.

"Uncle, I'm not a heartless person. How could I not understand your earnest teachings?"

"Although this practice of apprenticeship is not popular in our family, you are indeed my master."

After he finished speaking, Lin Qianfan knelt down solemnly and kowtowed three times to Uncle Gui. Uncle Gui sat upright in the seat of honor, trembling slightly, without moving away.

"From now on, I, Lin Qianfan, will be your disciple. I will treat you the same way I treat my parents."

Although Uncle Gui has been teaching Lin Qianfan for less than a year, what Lin Qianfan has learned is greater than what he gained in the first ten years of his previous life.

Why be a teacher?

To preach, impart knowledge, and resolve doubts!

Uncle Gui has achieved all three of these things, and his teacher’s kindness is profound.

Memories of past lives are memories of past lives. What memories bring are more massive references and acquired understanding, which are more comprehensive, vivid and systematic than the jade slips in the library.

The essence of memory is just another way of inheritance. In the stage from zero to one, Uncle Gui’s hands-on teaching is no less effective than the memory of the previous life.

"Good boy, get up."

Uncle Gui sat in the upper seat and accepted the gift with grace. Some of the content he taught had indeed gone beyond the basic line within the family system. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a core skill that was only passed down between father and son or master and apprentice.

Uncle Gui naturally had his own selfish motives; no one in this world would treat another person kindly without a reason. He had no descendants to carry on his bloodline, and if he didn't have an apprentice to inherit his craft, then after his death, there would be no trace of him left in the world. "You have the potential to be a shipwright, and your talent is even better than the Tenth Elder's. But I must remind you that cultivation is the true path. The status of a shipwright, no matter how high, is only a supplementary skill. Don't let these empty promises interfere with your true path."

"My nephew will remember this!"

"I'm tired. Go ahead and strive to build your foundation as soon as possible and become a second-level shipbuilder. I hope you can see it the day I die."

Lin Qianfan used the Qi-vision technique and found that the spiritual energy rising from Uncle Gui was indeed not as strong as it was half a year ago, and it had begun to age.

"Yes, you will definitely live to be one hundred and twenty!"

...

Noon, Lin family training ground.

"Brother Qianyu, please teach me!"

As Lin Qianfan's personal strength grew stronger, his father's sparring partner was no longer of any use, so when Lin Qianfan was free during the holidays, he would go to the family training ground to find a suitable opponent.

There are about 500 members of the Lin family in Yanglong Bay. If we add the Lin family's relatives and partners, and subtract the underage children, there are only about 500 to 600 adult cultivators.

Among them, only some middle-aged and young people were truly ascetic practitioners, or those who persisted in daily practice. The older ones, those who were stuck in bottlenecks, and those who had little hope for the future had long since given up on practice, so there were actually not many people who could practice with Lin Qianfan.

"There's no such thing as teaching, it's all about mutual confirmation. Watch this!"

However, with the strong arrival of Lin Qianfan, the catfish, the training ground, which was originally not very popular, gradually became lively, and everyone unconsciously looked forward to watching Lin Qianfan's every challenge.

"Come on, Brother Qianyu, don't hold back."

Lin Qianyu is the elder brother of Lin Qianfan, who is one year older than him. He is the direct descendant of the fake elixir cultivator, the eldest master of the Lin family, and one of the most distinguished Qi-refining cultivators in the Yanglongwan Lin family.

That’s right, there are also second and third generation noblemen in Yanglong Bay.

After all, the top members of the family also have reproductive needs and the instinct to reproduce. It is normal for foundation-building cultivators and fake elixir cultivators to have direct blood relatives, which is difficult to avoid in any force or system.

However, although Lin Qianyu came from a good family, he did not have any privileges. He still went to the clan school and worked like everyone else.

The direct elders support the family out of their own pockets, and outsiders have no right to interfere, but the share allocated to the family must follow the rules.

Lin Qianfan and Lin Qianyu attended the clan school together for nine years, so they knew him a little bit, so they did not have any hatred or prejudice against these second and third generations. After all, the purity of Yanglong Bay was still there.

"It's true that fame is not as good as meeting in person, and meeting in person is even better than fame. I heard people say that this Lin Qianfan is extraordinary before, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect that after meeting him today, he really has an extraordinary temperament."

Among the onlookers, some were people who often came to the training ground, and some were people who came to watch the fun in their spare time. Many of them noticed Lin Qianfan for the first time.

The combat effectiveness of the demon-hunting monks is higher than that of the monks on the shore at the same level, and Lin Qianfan's combat effectiveness is higher than that of the demon-hunting monks at the same level.

Therefore, in the eyes of the monks on the shore, Lin Qianfan's personal combat ability is somewhat exceeded, which is admirable.

"That's right. Including Qianyu, this is the tenth level of Qi Refining Level 6 he has challenged in a row. I heard from my third brother that Lin Qianfan was even able to challenge the Qi Refining Level 7 on the boat."

"Is this true? A fifth-level Qi Refining challenger to a seventh-level Qi Refining?"
