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

Chapter 81 Multiple Benefits, Shadow Sword
"Miss, this guy is so ungrateful, do we need to send someone to investigate his background?"

"There's no need. This person is quite powerful. A hasty investigation might backfire. Besides..."

"He will definitely come back!"

As one of the actual managers of the Colosseum, the nun in goose skirt is good at judging people.

Although the outstanding Lin Qianfan sat in the stands without saying a word, she judged that Lin Qianfan must have a purpose for coming here, and even if he didn't state the purpose this time, he would say it next time.

"Miss is amazing."

"Don't flatter me, when will the next batch of monsters arrive?"

"It will be soon. It's spring now, so it's a good time to catch monsters."

"Well, keep an eye on it. It's peak season now, and it won't be this popular after the storm hits."

"Yeah, I'm watching it myself."

Zou Ji Boat Shop.

"Sir, the matter I told you last time has been resolved. Here is the commission, please take a look."

Uncle Zou handed over a jade slip with both hands. On it were seven commissions for necklace refining. Compared with the harsh requirements in the General Affairs Hall, these commissions seemed much more normal.

"Hey, the commission is not bad."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zou lowered his head and remained silent, obviously not intending to reveal the specific origins of these commissions.

"That's all for these two. I'll give them to you in four days at the earliest."

"Good son."

Lin Qianfan chooses things that are suitable for him, and can guarantee a very high success rate with a little challenge. This way he can improve his skills step by step and ensure that he makes money.

"Be one with the light and dust~"

Lin Qianfan could probably guess the source of these commissions, but these things really could not be prevented.

What's more, making money is not shameful. I make a living by my own skills, so it's not against the rules.

"What a huge profit! The money comes faster than a shipbuilder."

Since Lin Qianfan's skills are stable and the channel provided by Uncle Zou pays the commission in cash, the profit from completing an order is quite considerable, and he can get dozens of spirit stones for one order.

Lin Qianfan thought about it and found that as long as the success rate could be guaranteed, a part-time weapon refiner could make more money than a shipbuilder in a shipyard.

Although a shipbuilder can make more profit by processing an order, it takes much longer.

However, the career prospects of shipwrights are better. The second level is the real qualitative change, and the market will be even broader at that time.

"So, going to the Blue Shore Market isn't such a bad idea. My efficiency in saving money has greatly improved, and the Foundation Establishment Pill isn't far away."

Lin Qianfan's current income is divided into several items:

The first is a stable monthly salary as a family supervisory deacon;
Since Lin Qianfan is a foundation-building seed, the base of this income is not low, but it is fixed.

The second item was the monthly salary as the master chef of Zou Ji Chuan Fang;

Zou Ji Chuanfang is not Lin Qianfan’s private shop, so the monthly salary is settled according to market rules, which is a base salary plus commission. Lin Qianfan does not do much work, so he gets almost no commission.

The third item is the commission earned by part-time weapon refiners;

A fine, top-grade magic weapon is worth hundreds of spirit stones, and the price of a custom-made magic weapon is about the same as the price in a wealthy shop.

However, the channel that Lin Qianfan used was a multi-level subcontracting channel with multiple middlemen making a profit from the price difference. For each order, he could only get a few dozen spirit stones, which was considered a considerable amount as a part-time job.

Dozens of spirit stones may sound like a lot, but due to various reasons, we cannot accept too many orders in a month, so the upper limit will not be exaggerated.

"The monthly salary from my family and the monthly allowance from the shipyard is barely enough for me to practice, but I can try to save as much as I can from my part-time job as a weapon refiner."

Lin Qianfan's current cultivation progress was twice the average of the three spiritual roots, and this was beyond the reach of the Spirit Gathering Array. The Spirit Gathering Array could only increase the concentration of spiritual energy, compressing the daily cultivation time from two to three hours to just one.

To double your progress, you need to consume high-quality spiritual objects.

There are many spiritual objects and elixirs that can speed up cultivation, but there are not many that meet the criteria of "high quality" and are suitable for the later stages of Qi Refining. Each of them is very expensive.

In order to prevent the poison from accumulating in his body, Lin Qianfan had to control the dosage of the pills and chose to use more natural spiritual objects without any side effects. These spiritual objects were more expensive than pills.

Since the progress of cultivation is fast, it is necessary to consolidate the foundation. Lin Qianfan’s consolidation method is not a single one. One of them is to use auxiliary pills to consolidate, which is another way to spend money.

Based on this, Lin Qianfan's actual expenses are huge.

Time is precious. There is a huge gap in potential between building a foundation at the age of thirty and building a foundation at the age of fifty. In order to climb higher mountains, Lin Qianfan has to keep spending money to exchange for time.

"Look for an opportunity to open up the Colosseum line."

When it comes to betting on others, Lin Qianfan doesn't have much advantage, and the waters in the Colosseum are very deep, and the buyers can never beat the sellers.

But Lin Qianfan can bet on himself to win, he still has this confidence. Once he connects with the Colosseum in the future, he will be able to successfully open up a new source of income.

"Finish!"

The weapon refining commissions that Lin Qianfan selected were all tasks in which he had certain advantages and were not very time-consuming. If he was in good condition, he could complete one piece at a time.

"How about trying the Phantom Sword today?"

Lin Qianfan suddenly decided to take advantage of the good feeling to refine the Phantom Sword as well, since he had succeeded several times in a row.

"Forget it. It will consume too much soul and spiritual energy. If it explodes, it will not be worth it."

It is not so difficult to blow up someone else's commission, as the cost of compensation is lower and there is a certain tolerance for error in the channel itself. But if you blow up your own materials, you will have to pay hundreds of spirit stones as compensation.

"Calm down, be humble and don't be arrogant or impatient!"

It is easy for people to become arrogant when they achieve some small success. This is a bad habit that is difficult to overcome. Even high-level monks will be affected by it unconsciously.

But some people are quick to restrain themselves and avoid losses.

"Have a good sleep and we'll do it tomorrow."

Although he decided to go to bed, Lin Qianfan still insisted on practicing the Great Sun Visualization Method to further consume the power of his soul. This was a fixed daily routine, and it was as important as Qi Refining Practice.

The powerful soul has brought many benefits to Lin Qianfan. For example, the success of his recent weapon refining can be attributed to the fact that Lin Qianfan's soul is stronger than that of most top-grade weapon refiners.

The next day,

After burning incense and bathing to adjust himself to the best condition, Lin Qianfan planned to try to refine the Phantom Sword for the first time.

“I hope it works on the first try.”

The main material of the Phantom Sword is the Shadow Stone purchased last time. To forge a sword with stone, one does not need to go through the forging process, but rather follows a similar method to that of refining the Golden Wire Large Ring Knife.

“There’s still room for improvement~”

With the support of all parties, the refining process was exceptionally smooth and without any mistakes.

But the result of refining was very ordinary. Although it was indeed a top-grade magic weapon, the Phantom Sword, it was not considered strong among top-grade magic weapons.

The so-called "top grade" is a broad concept, just like the "late stage" in the late stage of Qi refining is a very large range and is not accurate. In fact, it can be divided into different levels according to specific quality.

If we were to specify the grade of this Phantom Sword, it could be considered the "eighth level of Qi Refining", which was completely enough for Lin Qianfan, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, to use. However, Lin Qianfan's ideal was to reach the "peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining".

"Let's temporarily seal up the remaining half of the Shadow Stone until my weapon refining skills reach the peak of the first level."

"Maybe I can even create a top-grade magical weapon by then."
