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

Chapter 53: Rowing against the Current, Red Armor and Red Claws

"ended."

"If we don't put an end to this, the entire fish population will be wiped out."

Even though it may seem that there aren’t many fewer giant fish falling into the larger schools, in fact, most of them are gone.

If a giant school of fish really falls into a medium-sized school of fish, it would be no different from extinction. The difference in magnitude is too huge.

"That's right. The journey to Yunshang River is long, and there are still many challenges to face."

The migratory route is a road to heaven, and the seaport is only the first and most intense hurdle. There are many other beings waiting for them along the way who dare not participate in the fight for the seaport.

including but not limited to:

There are local cultivators driving first-level spirit ships, various monsters living in freshwater, and even land-based monsters joining in the fun. Among the predators, only a few are lucky enough to safely reach the place where their tribes were born and successfully lay fertilized eggs.

But these few lucky ones can lay a huge number of fertilized eggs, so that the number of seedlings will still be huge next year.

This wave of feasting ended, and no one knew when the next wave would arrive. All the sea hunters' crew members went up to the deck and hurried to dissect the prey, trying to free up the deck as soon as possible.

Lin Qianfan was naturally no exception and enjoyed the harvest.

“It feels good to work so hard to acquire resources.”

"Ding Ding Ding~~~"

"There's movement ten miles to the south, Master Jiu, please take a look..."

"It's a school of fish, full speed ahead!"

Wherever the Qi-refining cultivators could see the movement, the Foundation-building cultivators could see the whole picture. The sea hunters had not yet finished processing the prey and immediately rushed to the next school of fish.

There's no way around it. The other ships around are all like this. If their crews can handle it, then the Sea Hunter's crew should be able to handle it too. Even if they can't, they have to adapt.

Don't talk about exploitation.
It is normal to endure hardships when you go out to make money, especially to earn money that others cannot even earn or dare to think about. If you can get money by lying down without suffering any hardships, many people may not feel at ease with the money.

In this way, the boatmen on the Sea Hunter suffered pain and happiness for many days.

The pain is naturally caused by long-term and high-intensity work. As time goes by, the frequency of red giant scale fish passing through becomes higher.

The boatmen were hunting frantically while also taking the time to dismantle and process the items. It was fine at the beginning and they felt very fulfilled and satisfied.

But as time went on, the intensity became greater and greater, and without enough rest time, the boatmen's spirits were being tested.

But no one needs to be forced by anyone, everyone is willing to persevere spontaneously.

It’s simple, the money is enough!

The distribution method of the Lin family's monster hunting ship means that every crew member is destined to be a small shareholder of the monster hunting ship. Working is not just for the family, but also for yourself. The more you work, the more you get. Everyone understands this.

Some of them are pursuing their own path. Even if the younger generation of Lin family cultivators have poor spiritual roots, they still have a chance.
Some people have children or grandchildren who are more talented than themselves and need to earn money to help them;
Even a cultivator like Uncle Gui who has no desires or demands is trying his best to help. It's because this is a family. As long as the younger generation makes progress, the elders are willing to make more contributions.

Fairy city of clouds and mist.

A boatload of sea hunters came to buy goods.

The journey to and from Yunyan Fairy City is a rare opportunity for the boatmen to have a peaceful and complete rest.

Sailing on the Yunshang River is relatively safer. Jiu Ye will take the initiative to take control of the monster hunting ship and be responsible for the connection of selling prey, giving others more time to rest.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, please count the number of spirit stones."

When Jiu Ye takes action, there will naturally be corresponding foundation-building cultivators from Yunshang League to coordinate with him. Otherwise, business will not be easy to do when the two sides are not equal.

"That's right." With a sweep of his divine sense, the quantity and quality of the spirit stones were clear at a glance.

The Yunshang League has a much stronger management over Yunyan Fairy City. There is no distinction between the Yang family and the Wu family when selling goods here. They are all Yunshang League, and the prices are unified.

No matter who comes to buy goods, they are treated equally, neither flattering nor bullying, making it difficult to tell what is going on inside the Yunshang League for a while.

"what?"

When Jiu Ye returned to the boat, he was a little surprised to find that Lin Qianfan, who had been sleeping soundly in the hunting boat formation, had forced himself to get up again against his biological instinct to complete today's Qi training.

"I really underestimated you. Your mind is as solid as a rock. If you keep going like this, building your foundation won't be a problem."

Although foundation building is only the first major hurdle on the road to becoming an immortal, it blocks most cultivators.

The number of Qi-refining cultivators is compared to the number of Foundation-building cultivators as the number of mortals is compared to the number of first-generation spiritual root cultivators among mortals, with only one out of hundreds.

Even for the Lin family, a Jindan family, the ratio is still one person out of hundreds of people.

But in Jiu Ye's eyes, Lin Qianfan, who was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, had already initially possessed some of the characteristics of a foundation-building cultivator, even though Lin Qianfan had not yet participated in the family's foundation-building seed assessment.

"The mark of strength lies in maintaining faith in the face of adversity!"

On weekdays, everyone is very diligent and everyone works very hard, so it is not easy to see the difference. Only when the pressure reaches a certain level will the obvious gap be apparent.

Moving forward under pressure is the time to widen the gap.

In the days that followed, the Sea Hunters repeated this hunting rhythm, but their efficiency was gradually increasing.

The newly arrived sea hunters slowly approached the rhythm of the other monster hunting ships, because the new boatmen who came to Yunshang Secret Island for the first time had basically adapted to this rhythm.

Humans are very resilient creatures. When they see the spirit stones slipping away like water, most people will feel angry and fight for their own pride, then adapt, or even break through the limits of their abilities.

What made Jiu Ye very happy was that in the following days, more and more people followed Lin Qianfan and took time out of their busy schedule to maintain their progress in cultivation.

The strength of an individual is only one-sided strength; the overall strength of the entire force is the real and lasting strength.

For example, even without that late Jindan cultivator, the Yunshang Alliance is still the strongest force in the western region of the Thousand Star Sea, because they have enough Jindan cultivators, more than double digits, to sweep away any other Jindan force.

goo~
Just as the sea hunter was processing his prey step by step and waiting for the next school of fish, a strange sound was heard.

"Sounds familiar, is this the voice of the crab monster?"

Myna has been at sea for eleven years and has far more experience than Lin Qianfan.

"Well, to be precise, it's the cry of a second-level crab monster."

Uncle Gui had witnessed/encountered the crab monster many times. The memory of a monk is far superior to that of an ordinary person, so he naturally remembered it.

"Ding Ding Ding~~~"

"We spotted a Level 2 Crab Monster preying on a school of giant red-scaled fish in the east, but that location is out of the Haikou area. Should we go over there?"

Leaving the Haikou area means leaving the main force of monster hunting ships, and the danger level will increase.

"Let's go closer and take a look, but don't go too fast. First, determine the target's specific race, cultivation level, and whether there are other danger sources nearby."

The value of a second-level monster is extremely high, but one needs to act according to one's ability. Jiu Ye, who had just broken through to a higher level of cultivation, had adjusted his mindset after experiencing the two-headed snake lizard incident and would no longer underestimate any mid-level second-level monster or above.

"Confirmed, it's a Stage 2 early stage Red Armor and Red Claw, but there are other monster hunting ships around... and there's a silver ship that's moving really fast!"
