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

Chapter 99: Another Kind of Filial Piety, I Am Invincible

"Mom, your cooking is still the best. I miss home so much in Blue Coast Island."

"If it tastes good, eat more. Look how strong your starling is. Compared to him, you look like a skinny monkey."

"It fits. I'm in pretty good shape now. I look thin when I'm dressed, and I look muscular when I'm undressed."

"By the way, Qianfan will be twenty-three soon, right?"

"It's almost the end of the year."

"I'm already 23, time flies by so fast. I'm really afraid that one day I'll close my eyes..."

"Qianfan, do you really plan to get married after building your foundation?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianfan lowered his head and said nothing, just eating his meal.

"Li Mao, you too, are the ones who have been led astray by your uncle. You're already in your forties and still don't have a wife. When your brother was your age, he was already wandering around with his child in his arms."

Second Uncle said nothing, but his appetite was whetted.

In fact, Lin's father and mother also understood the truth. The uncle and nephew were both promising people, and it was not appropriate for them to get married now.

To be more precise, he couldn't find a suitable wife.

That’s right, there is no suitable one. There is no one who is highly suitable either within the Lin family or in the entire Yulong Islands.

Only after the uncle and nephew have established their foundation, reached a higher platform, have greater rights to choose, have a longer life, and a stable pace of life, will they be suitable for choosing a spouse and can choose a wife from a larger area.

This is not only a responsibility to yourself, but also a responsibility to your spouse and even more so to your offspring.

But when the uncle and nephew are not at home, the house is also empty and deserted.

It’s okay now, as Mr. and Mrs. Lin are still middle-aged people in their early sixties, but what about decades later?

After all, it is not easy for a foundation-building cultivator to find a wife. It would be so lonely if the family is still cold and deserted by then.

At night, lying in bed, Lin Qianfan recalled Uncle Gui's later life and Lin's father and mother's urging him to get married, and thought of Xiaoshi again.

"Let's go see them tomorrow. If it's appropriate, it might not be a bad idea to bring them over."

Lin Qianfan has his own long journey to go, and it is impossible for him to easily accept a Taoist partner, especially one who cannot climb up together with Lin Qianfan.

Otherwise, after decades, Lin Qianfan will still have the same youthful appearance, while the other party will be old. This is not the marriage that Lin Qianfan wants. The other party's talent must be at least better than Lin Qianfan's.

But is Lin Qianfan qualified to contact such people now?
Obviously not!

The foundation-building seeds are just seeds. They have some value in the Lin family and the Yulong Islands, but they are worthless once they are placed in a larger area. There are too many three spiritual roots in this world.

The next day.

After completing his daily homework, Lin Qianfan flew towards the family's second-level spiritual island, Peach Blossom Island.

There are no peach blossoms blooming on Peach Blossom Island in winter. Most of the few cultivators living here stay indoors and concentrate on practicing. After all, the lower the cultivation level, the lower the resistance to cold. Not everyone can come and go as fast as Lin Qianfan.

The immortals and mortals on Peach Blossom Island are separated. The monks stationed here are to take care of the orchards and forests here, while the mortals live in the villages and towns in the center of the island to avoid being harassed by sea monsters.

In a family in a mortal village,

"Sister, please go back soon and don't delay your work. I'm already used to it here."

Children from poor families have to grow up early. This doesn’t mean that they have mastered important survival skills in advance, but that they are so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

"When I'm not around, you have to listen to your uncle and aunt. Don't run around, and don't fight with other kids. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, I understand. People here won't call me motherless. They all like playing with me. Sister, please go now."

The child pushed his sister away with force, fearing that she would delay her work because of coming to see him.

"Then I'll go first and come see you another day."

The winter snow and wind piled up very thickly. If Xiaoshi had not mastered the art of lightness, it would have been difficult for him to travel in the snow and wind.

When the formation in the orchard was opened, the scene inside was completely different from that outside. The temperature inside the formation was much higher than outside, and some out-of-season spiritual trees were blooming and bearing fruit.

"Xiao Shi is back. Is your brother used to it?"

"It's great, Grandma Lin. He likes it here very much."

The living conditions of both the Lin family members and the ordinary people under the Lin family are much better than those on Blue Shore Island, so the people on Peach Blossom Island are extremely friendly and harmonious, and do not reject Xiaoshi, an outsider cultivator.

After all, those who can be sent here are reliable and may even become someone's daughter-in-law in the future.

"I'm glad you like it! How's the Spiritual Farmer's Notebook I showed you last time?"

"I remember everything, but there are a few points I don't understand."

"Oh? Then tell me quickly, I'm leaving Peach Blossom Island for Yanglong Bay in two days."

"The first question is about bamboo shoot beetles..."

In the past few months since Xiaoshi came to Taohua Island, he has been actively learning and trying to integrate into the life here.

Although she had a small house given by Lin Qianfan, she still needed a job with a stable income. Fortunately, Grandma Lin from the orchard liked her cleverness and taught her in every way.

The sun is rarely seen in winter, and it gets dark early. Xiaoshi, who has been busy all day but does not feel tired, returns to his own warm little house.

"Ah! Sir! Why are you here?"

"Are you still used to living here?"

"I'm used to it. The people here are very friendly, completely different from the unruly people on Blue Coast Island. I like it here very much."

Xiao Shi was very cautious, afraid of saying something wrong, because she already knew Lin Qianfan's identity. In her eyes, Lin Qianfan was more noble than anyone else on Lan'an Island.

"I'm glad you like it. Have you been to Yanglong Bay?"

"I've heard of it many times. It's an island much larger than Peach Blossom Island, but I've never been there."

"Then I'll assign you a task. From now on, you will take ten days out of every month to go to Yanglongwan..."

Lin Qianfan secretly observed Xiaoshi for a whole day and confirmed that there was no problem with her character before assigning her this task.

Originally, I wanted to take the brother and sister over directly, but they already had a new life on Peach Blossom Island and had integrated quite well, so there was no need to separate them.

It can be predicted that Lin Qianfan will often be away from the family in the future, but Uncle Gui and his parents will grow older day by day. They need company and someone to talk to, and the yard needs vitality and energy, so Lin Qianfan arranged for the smart and energetic Xiaoshi.

"I will help you communicate about your plantation work. This way you won't be too busy running around and you can take care of both sides." "Thank you for your trust, wuwuwu~"

Xiaoshi, who had never been cared for since childhood, couldn't help but break down emotionally after hearing Lin Qianfan's arrangement.

Isn’t this kind of work a kind of redemption for her?

In fact, many people who appear cheerful, happy and indifferent are often more sensitive and fragile inside. Cheerfulness, love of laughter and indifference are just a protective color formed by their long-term disguise.

Family training ground.

"Wow, there are quite a few people here today."

Most of the people who work in various places will go home in winter, so the training ground is rarely busy.

"Brother Qianyu, come on, let's have a fight before you reach the eighth level of Qi Refining. If you keep running away, I'll look down on you."

"Look, everyone, look, Qianfan has gone crazy after not seeing him for a year. Today, as his older brother, I'm going to teach him a lesson."

"Okay, the loser is called brother."

"Then I won't fight. I might as well just die than let you call me brother."

"I was just kidding you, watch out!"

Although Lin Qianyu, who had been at sea for a year, still had not broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, his moves were much more experienced and no longer naive. It was obvious that he had seen the blessing of human blood. With the opening and closing of his blue-silver folding fan, he blocked all of Lin Qianfan's quick sword attacks.

But Lin Qianfan's growth rate is far more exaggerated than his...

"I lose, you monster!"

In just thirty moves, Lin Qianfan steadily defeated Lin Qianyu.

In a battle of the same level, Lin Qianfan can win steadily even without using the Phantom Sword Technique.

"Myna, it's your turn. Why are you pretending to be so stupid? I'm just calling you."

"Good boy, you are bullying your brother, right?"

"I'm here to test whether you've slacked off in your training in the mines this past year. You promised to be my boat, don't wait until I've established my foundation while you're still stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refining."

"Okay, okay, you're so sharp-tongued. It seems like your butt is itching after not being spanked with a spear for a long time. Look at the gun!"

It was rare for Myna to suddenly attack during the trash talk session.

clang~
Lin Qianfan moved as his heart desired, following the blade's path, and caught it easily.

"You are really scared. It seems you can't do it."

As both were foundation-building seeds, Lin Qianfan, who was at the seventh level of Qi training, was not at all inferior to his opponent at the eighth level of Qi training, and even achieved reverse suppression.

The two sides fought quickly and soon fought for fifty rounds. Lin Qianbao used all his skills and almost took out talismans to smash his opponent hard, but he was still defeated by Lin Qianfan.

"Monster! Monster! Your growth rate is too terrifying. I would believe you if you said you were the reincarnation of a sword immortal."

You know, a year ago when Lin Qianfan had just advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining, the two of them could still fight on equal terms. Now, although a year has passed, Lin Qianbao has not slacked off!

During the year he stayed in the mine, he really practiced hard to calm down and think that he had made great progress in all aspects, but he didn't expect that the gap between the two of them had widened.

"Who else dares to accept the challenge at the eighth level of Qi Refining?"

There were many onlookers, but everyone knew their own limitations. They were not even Lin Qianbao's match, so how could they dare to accept the challenge?

"Since no one is willing to fight, I will challenge someone at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Lin Qianfan is here. Who among those at the ninth level of Qi Refining dares to fight me?"

With the momentum of victory, Lin Qianfan, who still had most of his spiritual power, challenged the spectator who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"I!"

"war!"

Children of noble families have the pride of children of noble families. No matter who they are or what jobs they do in their daily lives, they are all warriors who fight with all their strength in the games on the training ground.

"It's great. I admit defeat. I lose this battle."

Since it was a public place and we couldn't use our powerful trump cards, everyone could only fight with conventional means.

But Lin Qianfan still tied with a brave and warlike ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator. If it were not for his insufficient spiritual power, he would definitely be able to completely dismantle the opponent's defensive posture over time.

"It's level, so Uncle Fang doesn't need to be modest."

"Today I will challenge you starting from the seventh level of Qi Refining. My spiritual power is running out after this battle. Once I recover, I will challenge you one by one starting from the ninth level of Qi Refining tomorrow."

"Okay, we're waiting for your challenge."

Everyone knows that Lin Qianfan is honing his invincible spirit, but everyone is happy to see it happen and is willing to become a whetstone for a strong man.

In the following days, Lin Qianfan defeated several ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators in his family.

You must know that the Lin family's ninth level of Qi Refining is not the counterfeit ninth level of Qi Refining from Lan'an Island.

Even the ordinary spiritual farmers in the plantation and the ordinary fish farmers in the fishery of the Lin family are "Jindan disciples" who have received a complete Jindan family education, practiced superior skills, and possessed a full set of excellent magic weapons.

The ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators of the Lin family are basically the best in their respective positions. They are the most powerful people under the Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they can walk around the inner ring area with just this identity.

"That's it."

"Nephew thanks Uncle for his guidance!"

"It's not really advice. I'm just twenty years older than you."

As a fellow foundation-building seed, the second uncle, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, stopped Lin Qianfan. Or it could be said that there were few people in the Lin family who were stronger than the second uncle before the foundation-building stage.

Except for the second uncle who has not yet attempted to establish his foundation, the others are former seeds who have failed to establish their foundation. Every one of them is no worse than the current Lin Qianfan in any aspect.

Lin Qianfan did not use his special moves, but the other person also has special moves. The outcome of the life-and-death battle is still unknown. The only difference is that Lin Qianfan, who is at the seventh level of Qi Refining, still has a lot of room for growth.

"Come back next year! By this time next year, I will be invincible in the Qi Refining Realm!"

"You have great ambition. I'm looking forward to your challenge, but I believe I can still defeat you next year."

"Just wait, Second Uncle."

Being invincible does not mean that you cannot lose a single game. That is called sand dollar. Being invincible is a kind of strong self-confidence, a reasonable correction of your own positioning and expectation for the future.
