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

Chapter 71: Phantom Sword Canon - Eastern Four Islands
"Good stuff!"

Lin Qianfan's memory is a huge treasure house, which contains everything a Jindan cultivator has seen and heard.

This naturally includes various inheritances. Although not as complete as the Lin family's inheritance, it is private and profound enough.

However, in his previous life, he did not specialize in gold spiritual power nor was he a sword practitioner, so he lacked relevant collections. Now he finally found a book that looked very good and could fill the gap in the offensive aspect.

Phantom Sword

As the name suggests, this is a sword manual that advocates the path of agility and quick swordsmanship. Lin Qianfan, who majored in gold spiritual power, is good at controlling the sword and can follow this agile path.

The Phantom Sword Manual is not a main cultivation method, but a complete set of additional secret manuals.

It includes the part of refining various levels of Phantom Swords in the weapon refining process. That's right, if you want to fully utilize the characteristics of the Phantom Sword Technique, you need to refine special Phantom Swords of various levels.

Magic sword, spiritual sword, sword embryo, magic weapon, battle sword, flying sword...

Regarding the realm of swordsmanship,

The Sword Canon contains a detailed understanding process from the introduction to kendo, sword energy to sword intent, sword intent to sword heart, as well as most of the ideas from sword heart to the state of unity between man and sword, which are well-reasoned.

"It helped a lot."

Lin Qianfan is now in the realm of sword energy, and his practice in the way of the sword is all done by feeling his way forward.

Because there are not many sword practitioners in the Lin family, the corresponding annotations and insights in "Gengjin Sword Art" are also average, and there are not as many annotations as in the catalog of this sword manual.

In addition, there are specific phantom sword moves in the sword manual, which are divided into ordinary sword moves and top skills.

"Invisible, Liberation, Sword Dance, good stuff."

"It's a pity that the author of this sword manual is only at the peak of the Golden Core stage. If he successfully advances to the Nascent Soul stage and writes the subsequent parts in full, then the value of this sword manual will be immeasurable."

Putting himself in other people's shoes, Lin Qianfan did not have the ability to write a book on fire magic or shipbuilding at this level with his level in his previous life, so Lin Qianfan admired the author of the sword book very much.

Unfortunately, there was no name left in the inheritance, and the family did not mark the specific origin of this sword manual.

However, one can judge from the regrets between the lines that the author of this sword manual was stuck before the Nascent Soul Tribulation and can only imagine the follow-up.

"Ha~ I am a little greedy. If it is really the painstaking work of Yuanying Zhenjun, how could it fall into my hands so easily?"

In the Storm Ocean, Nascent Soul is a watershed. Only Nascent Soul forces can participate in the distribution of the core interests of the Storm Ocean, while the Golden Core forces are just the reserve forces of the inland sea.

"Just choose it."

Although Lin Qianfan is now invincible among those of the same level in the Lin family, it is actually because there are too few people of the same level and the pond is too shallow.

If placed in a larger pool, Lin Qianfan seriously lacks a powerful means to win in one move, and this specialized secret book attached to the main practice method is exactly what Lin Qianfan currently lacks.

"I've chosen it. This is the one."

The inheritance in the secret library can only be seen in the title page, catalog and notes, but not in each specific content. It needs to be selected before it can be completely unsealed.

"The sword's shadow is invisible, a perfect fusion of body movement and swordsmanship..."

"The gift of liberation, the ultimate output of sword and sword techniques..."

"Phantom Sword Dance, the ultimate fusion of sword intent and sword formation..."

After unsealing the seal, Lin Qianfan first flipped through the three sword skills contained in this sword technique.

Among them, Sword Shadow Invisible emphasizes the use of surprise to win, and Gift of Liberation emphasizes a single strike to kill. Both of these skills can be practiced from the Qi Refining Stage and can be used continuously. Phantom Sword Dance, on the other hand, is a powerful sword formation formed by multiple flying swords.

Flying sword is the signature method of foundation-building sword cultivators, so Lin Qianfan must wait until he reaches the foundation-building stage before he can practice this sword formation.

The Phantom Sword Dance is not an ordinary sword formation, but a sword formation that can grow along with the growth of cultivation, flying sword, and sword realm.

"He's truly a genius!"

After reading the complete version of "Phantom Sword Manual", Lin Qianfan was excited. This was a highly adaptable sword manual tailored for his current situation and would become a powerful tool for him.

"Once you feel stable, start practicing this method."

Afterwards, Lin Qianfan went to the library to check the family collection.

The area of the Ichthyosaur Islands is not small.

As the local overlord, the Lin family only directly controls the third-level spiritual vein in the center of the archipelago and some important second-level spiritual veins.

There are also a large number of first and second level spirit veins in the inner and outer rings of the archipelago.

Although these spiritual veins are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Lin family, they are actually occupied by small forces below.

The ownership of some of these spiritual veins is not even in the hands of the Lin family, as they were sold long ago, while some are leased from the Lin family and require long-term rent payments.

This also involves some historical issues. After all, the Yulong Islands were not an ownerless land two thousand years ago. It was seized by the first ancestor of the Lin family. We will not discuss this for now.

To the east of the Ichthyosaur Islands, there are four second-level spiritual islands very close to each other in the central ring, which are called the Four Eastern Islands.

Each of these four spiritual islands has a second-level spiritual vein, one of which is a second-level mid-stage spiritual vein, and three are second-level early-stage spiritual veins.

That mid-stage second-order spiritual vein was occupied by the Li family of Dongning Island, a family even older than the Lin family.

The other three second-stage early-stage spirit veins are occupied by the Mi family of Fengling Island founded by the foundation-building cultivators, the Le family of Jasmine Island supported by the Lin family, and the Nan'an Market of the second-stage market.

After years of development, these four second-level islands and the small islands around them have become relatively mature and can be considered a relatively stable economic system.

Therefore, when the family split up, the ownership of this place was not roughly divided, but remained as it was. The two islands in the north and south only needed to divide the benefits brought by this place in proportion.

"The power dynamics here are quite complex. I just hope everything goes smoothly."

Taking advantage of the end of winter, Lin Qianfan seized the time to understand the local situation and everything else, so as to avoid being caught off guard.

The Li family of Dongning Island was already an old foundation-building family before the Lin family came here. When the Lin family took over this place, they surrendered very quickly because of their awareness of the times and for the sake of rapid stability in the region.

The Lin family collected a symbolic "loyalty fee" and returned the wealthy Dongning Island to them.

Now, two thousand years have passed. Although the development of the Li family is still lukewarm, its inheritance is very solid. The family has had three foundation-building cultivators for a long time, and the strongest of them has reached the sixth level of foundation-building.

Fengling Island, where the Mi family lives, is at the other extreme. It is the poorest and most disaster-prone island among the four eastern islands. It has had seven generations of owners in about two thousand years.

The Mi family, a foundation-building family founded by a casual cultivator, has occupied Fengling Island for more than four hundred years. The foundation-building cultivators have been passed down for three generations in a row. It seems that the occupation is becoming more and more stable, and they should have completely established themselves.

The Le family of Jasmine Island is different from the above two families in that they are independent and autonomous. The Le family is not just a nominal vassal of the Lin family, but a real affiliated family of the Lin family.

He is the kind of die-hard vassal who is openly loyal to the Lin family, shares the same aspirations, and will be forced to go along with them if the Lin family is destroyed. He is also a hand that helps the Lin family manage this place.

As for the last island among the four eastern islands, Lan'an Island, which is located in the center of the four islands, is an island directly under the Lin family.
