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

Chapter 51: Haikou sells goods, flowers bloom

The skill ceiling of the Spirit Bow is good, but it is also extremely limited. It is of little use when facing the enemy head-on or encountering an opponent who is stronger than oneself. However, in some special scenarios, it is extremely efficient in shooting targets.

For example, the scene before the Sea Hunter is a perfect target for a spirit bow:
A large number of birds and beasts are preying on the small schools of spirit fish migrating at the seaport, while the boatmen are using spirit bows and demon-hunting crossbows to kill bounty targets and targets of greater individual value among the bird and beast groups.

Whenever a school of fish passes by, flocks of birds will swarm in to collect money for passing through. Then, monster-hunting ships will arrive to kill, recycle, and decompose these predators, and then throw the unwanted parts back into the sea to feed the fish, forming a cycle.

"Hey~"

Any powerful ability requires a lot of practice in addition to a great inheritance and the right tools, and going out to sea with a ship can provide plenty of opportunities for actual practice.

Where else could he find so many suitable targets for Lin Qianfan to practice archery?

As the fish gradually adapted to the environment of Yunshang River, the birds and beasts on the sea gradually dispersed, and this round of hunting came to an end.

"Yes, your dissection technique is much more skillful."

Lin Qianshan and Lin Qianli, who have been on board for several months, have already integrated into their positions and are capable of performing most of their duties. After broadening their horizons, they have regained their infinite expectations for the future.

"Go to Haikou Market!"

As the boat was filled with prey, the sea hunter headed towards the nearest Haikou Market. Compared to Yunyan Fairy City, which required going upstream, Haikou Market was much closer to the estuary.

"Have you spotted the two-headed lizard again?"

"No, although we have detected several second-level life fluctuations these days, there is no trace of that two-headed lizard. It seems that it has completely given up."

"It's a shame. If it dares to show up, I'll leave it there forever."

As the day of the giant red scales' migration draws near, many monster-hunting ships have gathered near Haikou.

There are not many local monster-hunting ships in Yunchang Secret Island, and there are ships of various specifications. However, most of the monster-hunting ships coming from other sea areas are medium-sized monster-hunting ships with good combat capabilities.

Therefore, if the two-headed lizard dares to appear again, the sea hunter will take the initiative to attack and bite it. At most, he will share part of the profits with other monster hunting ships to capture it.

How can such a vengeful guy stay here for long?
The morning light is dim in Haikou market.

This is a second-tier market town whose popularity fluctuates greatly with the seasons. Whenever autumn comes, a large number of demon-hunting monks and a huge amount of resources pour in, making this place prosperous.

But after autumn passes, this place will quickly become deserted, leaving only the monks who have long relied on Haikou's ecology for their livelihood. Although there are many of these monks, their overall energy is too weak, and the benefits they bring to the market are limited.

Facing the rising sun, the Sea Hunter became the first fishing boat to dock today, and soon a monk came over to talk to it.

"My fellow Daoists, your boat looks unfamiliar. Is this your first time hunting on Yunshang Secret Island? Are you stopping here to sell goods?"

"So what if it is? So what if it's not?"

"I am Yang Changshu, the humble servant of the Yunshang League's Yang Clan. If you are here to sell your catch, we will definitely give you a satisfactory price. Please sell your catch to us."

"If you're not here to sell your catch, we can still be friends. This is the jade slip that lists the prices of various fish my Yang family purchases. Please take a look. Feel free to contact me if you need any goods in the future."

The Yang family is one of the four Jindan families of the Yunshang League. The price they offer is indeed very fair, not lower than the last time it was sold in Yunyan Fairy City. This price is also within the psychological price range of the sea hunters.

"Okay, then let's unload the goods and count them." Several bosses looked at each other and agreed. People who make a living from this have a relatively clear understanding of the market.

Even if we connect with a few more fresh-collecting deacons, the price will not be higher than this. In fact, as time goes by and the supply increases, the prices of some categories will even drop.

"Okay, thank you all for your trust, I'll take inventory right away."

This kind of daily harvest has an average value and does not involve transactions of second-level resources, so the ship's bosses can make the decisions and there is no need for Jiu Ye to step in for everything.

"Everyone, please wait!"

Just as the goods in the cabin and storage bags were carried out to the dock one by one for inventory and the transaction was about to be completed, a discordant voice was heard.

At first glance, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a rich brocade robe, with a "Wu" character badge hanging around his waist.

"Wu Laoba, what are you doing here? I've already made a deal. Do you want to break the rules of the dock?"

Yang Changshu, who was originally humble and amiable, showed a noticeable change of mood when he saw Wu Laoba and immediately got angry.

"What else can I do? I'm just a farmer collecting fresh produce. But it's just a business. It needs both parties to agree to it, right?"

"I, Wu Laoba, am honored to be the fresh food collector for the Wu family of the Yunshang League. I greet you all."

Speaking of this, Wu Laoba's face was full of glory and pride in his heart.

"What's the matter?"

The Wu family of the Yunshang League is also one of the four Jindan families, but unlike the Yang family, the Wu family is currently the most powerful of the four families of the Yunshang League.

The current leader of the Yunshang Alliance, the most advanced late Jindan cultivator in the Western Region of Qianxinghai, is the first supreme elder of the Wu family, so the Wu family members all raise their eyes to the sky when they walk.

"Of course I'm here to trade. This is the Wu family's jade slip with the price list for fresh produce. I hope you fellow Taoists will take a look at it."

Wu Laoba confidently handed over a jade slip, as if the Lin family would sell it to him just by taking a look at it, but the class owner did not take it.

"Deacon Wu, you're late. We've already negotiated a price with Deacon Yang and have decided to sell this boat's catch to the Yang family. Next time, we'll definitely give priority to the Wu family when our ship docks."

Don't hit a smiling person in the face. The Lin family adheres to the principle of integrity. Since they have already promised the Yang family, they cannot go back on their word, otherwise they will definitely offend the Yang family.

But he had to give face to the powerful Wu family, so he could only promise publicly that he would sell it to him next time. They were all people of certain status, and they spoke in public, so this was not just a verbal courtesy. He really planned to sell the next ship to the Wu family, so as not to offend them.

Deacon Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He didn't expect that this group of profit-seeking demon-hunting monks actually had a righteous side.

"Hey, fellow Daoist, you misunderstood. I'm not trying to force a sale. The Yang family is dishonest, and the price they offer is unfair. My Wu family's bid is generally 50% to 10% higher than the Yang family's. I hope fellow Daoist will consider my Wu family."

That Wu Laoba refused to give in.

How could a boatman who makes a living from this not know the market price?
The Lin family itself is a Jindan force and has a complete industrial chain. Don’t they know how much profit each link has?

"Fellow Daoist Wu, I think you've misunderstood something. Whether the price is more or less doesn't matter...
