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

Chapter 58: Shipbuilder Master, the So-called Inheritance

Lin Qianfan did not use the advanced breath-concealing technique to hide his cultivation level.

On the one hand, he would eventually be unable to hide on the same ship with the Foundation Establishment cultivators; on the other hand, his status on the ship would be further enhanced after he entered the seventh level of Qi Refining, which was very important.

"Lucky! I was lucky enough to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining before setting off."

Lingyun Realm Breaking Pill is not a panacea. There are cases where people failed to break through the realm even after using the Realm Breaking Pill. And every member of the Lin family can only get the cost price discount when they buy the Realm Breaking Pill for the first time.

Therefore, everyone will polish their foundation at the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining. Some people will even polish it for many years before taking the risk of breaking through.

But Lin Qianfan achieved a breakthrough after only one month of practice on the shaking monster-hunting ship. This was what shocked everyone the most.

"Amazing! I don't admire anyone else, I only admire you!"

"Although it's unexpected, since it's Qianfan's words, it makes sense."

Lin Qianfan has never slacked off in the four years since he joined the ship. The perseverance that is engraved in his bones has been recognized by everyone.

Therefore, they could understand that it took Lin Qianfan only one month to break through the bottleneck. It was also normal for someone who was admired by everyone to achieve something that no one else could do.

"Next year, my Yanglongwan Lin family will have another foundation-building seed. Perhaps within ten years, my Yanglongwan family will have another true foundation-building cultivator. This is truly cause for celebration."

When a person is better than others, people around him will inevitably be jealous, try to catch up, and find fault with him in various ways.

But when one person is much better than others, all that is left is cheers, and everyone will give up the desire to compete with him.

Captain's cabin aft.

"Oh? Have you thought it through?"

As early as two years ago, Lin Qianfan had completed one formation and integrated three instrument and talisman formations to become a formal first-level shipbuilder.

Since then, he has continued to improve his comprehensive abilities and participated in various renovation projects in the dock area many times, gaining a lot.

Today, Lin Qianfan has the experience of independently building three first-level spirit ships, including his father’s new ship.

But before this, realm was Lin Qianfan's absolute shortcoming. This shortcoming was not only reflected in combat effectiveness, but also in the ability to continuously maintain the second-order spirit ship.

Therefore, Lin Qianfan had only been treated as an ordinary shipbuilder before and was unable to take over Uncle Gui's position.

Now that Lin Qianfan has broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, the total amount and quality of his spiritual power have greatly improved, which has greatly improved Lin Qianfan's ability as a shipbuilder.

The previously thorny and difficult problems will be solved, so today Uncle Gui brought Lin Qianfan to find Jiu Ye to hand over the power of the leader of the Sea Hunter shipbuilder team.

"I've thought it through. I brought Qianfan up single-handedly. Don't look at his young age; his skills have already surpassed mine. What has been holding him back is the shackles of his realm. Now that they've been removed, it's time for me to retire."

Uncle Gui has no children and does not need to earn or save money for anyone. Logically, he should have retired long ago and enjoyed the rest of his life. However, Yanglong Bay was newly established and there was a shortage of manpower everywhere. As someone with a strong sense of responsibility to his family, he naturally could not refuse.

Now that he has finally brought up a student that satisfies him very much, he feels it is a blessing in his life, and he doesn't want to continue drifting on the sea.

"can!"

Jiu Ye is well aware of Lin Qianfan's abilities. In recent years, all the minor damages that the Sea Hunter has suffered were actually caused by Lin Qianfan.

Uncle Gui was mostly providing guidance from the side, and Lin Qianfan was only officially promoted after he made up for his shortcomings.

Jiu Ye also knew the situation of Uncle Gui's family, so it would be a good thing to let him retire early and enjoy a leisurely life.

Life is short. The lifespan of a Qi-refining cultivator is 120 years, and that of a Foundation-building cultivator is less than 300 years. If one wants to live forever, one needs to keep moving forward and breaking through barriers. Thinking of this, Jiu Ye's heart tightened.

As for whether anyone would be dissatisfied with Lin Qianfan's promotion?
will not!

Lin Qianfan's ability and reputation have long been recognized by all the shipwrights of the Sea Hunter, and he deserves to be the head shipwright.

Especially now that Lin Qianfan has powerfully broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, everyone thinks that as long as Lin Qianfan survives, successfully building a foundation is not difficult. Who would be so bored as to compete with a future foundation building elder for a small position?
We are all uncles and brothers who live under the same roof and fight side by side. No one is so shallow.

"Come, I'll give you one last lesson today."

This trip is Uncle Gui's last voyage before retirement. Uncle Gui takes Lin Qianfan with him to teach him every detail of the Sea Hunter.

"A ship is a shipwright's second life. As shipwrights, it's no exaggeration to say the entire ship's safety rests in our hands. So, nothing can be done carelessly. Do you understand?"

"My nephew understands."

Although it is difficult for a first-level shipbuilder to tinker with some core components of a second-level spirit ship, he can still perform routine inspections, maintenance, and replacement of assemblies.

"The shipwrights spend their days and nights with the second-level spirit ship. No one understands this second-level spirit ship better than us. In the future, you must study and comprehend the Sea Hunter. This is the best shortcut for you to become a second-level shipwright. Do you understand?"

"My nephew understands."

In fact, Uncle Gui has said these words many times over the years.

Perhaps because he was old, he didn't remember that he had repeated it over and over again.

Maybe he still remembered it, but he still chose to repeat it over and over again. Lin Qianfan would respectfully agree every time without any impatience.

Perhaps because he was reluctant to leave, or perhaps because he was old, Uncle Gui took Lin Qianfan to every corner of Sea Hunter.

From the simplest basic parts such as the siren formation, deck components, anti-collision runes to the maintenance of the second-level psychic cannon, the loading and unloading of the second-level demon hunting fork, the inspection and proofreading of the power core, etc., he taught Lin Qianfan step by step again, without leaving any detail.

"I'm old now, and my energy is weak, so let it be."

I don’t know if it’s because he can’t let go of the career he’s been engaged in all his life, or he can’t let go of this student, or he can’t let go of this boat, but Uncle Gui looks a little lonely.

"Ding Ding Ding~~~"

"We've arrived at the Fire Iguana Islands."

There were still two hours before sunset, enough time for the boatmen to clear out a small or medium-sized island, and then everyone began to divide into groups.

"I can't jump anymore. I'll stay here to guard the boat. You guys go on your own. Be safe and take good care of Qianshan."

If you look closely at Uncle Gui's appearance, you will see that his hair has already turned a little gray and his skin has some wrinkles. These are signs that the spiritual power in a Qi-refining cultivator's body is beginning to become unbalanced and that he is beginning to age.

"Qianshan, let's go."

"Okay, Brother Qianfan!"

After more than three years on board, Lin Qianshan relied on everyone's guidance, his own hard work and practice, and his fanatical imitation of Lin Qianfan's daily routine. Now he has broken into the fourth level of Qi Refining, surpassing 90% of the five spiritual root cultivators of the same age.

In the previous three years, Uncle Gui had been leading the team of Lin Qianfan and Lin Qianshan alone, but now it was Lin Qianfan's turn to lead Lin Qianshan alone.

"Our combined strength is a bit weak, so we're not here to gain anything, but to gain experience. Let's kill a mid-stage lizard monster first."

"It's all up to you!"

Logically speaking, after the Sea Hunter is upgraded and Jiu Ye becomes stronger, this group should not come to the Fire Iguana Islands again.

But in order to take care of the new crew members with weak strength, give them enough space to grow and gain experience, and bring back a different kind of food for the relatives in Longwan, the Sea Hunters have been coming to this location in recent years.

However, in the past few years, most of the old boatmen who were originally at the sixth level of Qi Refining have broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, and the new boatmen who were at the third, fourth, and fifth levels of Qi Refining have also basically advanced one or two levels.

So the Sea Hunter may not come to this hunting ground next year. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to hand over this task to the weaker Dolphin.
