Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 54 Dingyuan

In Jing Qian's eyes, this treasure ship, like a sharp sword, was shining with a thick green light all over.

Only at the rudder at the tail, there was a flicker of bright blue light.

Compared with other eighth-grade treasure ships, the absolute number of high-grade magic materials used in this ship is not large.

After all, the other three ships were all over thirty feet long, more than three times longer than this small one.

But what is commendable is that this small boat is entirely made of eighth-grade [Green Wing] magical materials.

Unlike the other three ships, high-end materials were only used in key parts, and the remaining parts still used a large amount of [White Fang] magic materials.

I only heard Xu Xi explain:
"You can't choose this ship!"

"This is a wreck and can't even go to sea."

Jing Qian became even more curious after hearing this. In the eyes of [Shijie], the shape of this ship was almost perfect, the materials used were extremely solid, and each part had been finely polished.

Not to mention the rudder made of seventh-grade [Blue Blood] precious material!
No matter how you look at it, it is an eighth-grade treasure ship, and one of the best quality!
If it used more [Blue Blood] treasures, it might even be able to reach the seventh level!

Jing Qian couldn't help but pull Xu Xi aside to introduce further.

Xu Xi couldn't bear the request, so he started to speak:

"The shape of this ship was discovered from a secret shipbuilding record passed down from Shangzhou."

"During the first forging, in order to successfully replicate the craftsmanship in the secret records, the amount of effort and materials my Xu family expended was not insignificant."

"Unfortunately, we didn't realize until after it was built that the secret record was missing the method for refining the oars that matched this ship."

"For a treasure ship, oars are the source of power and are extremely important."

"After this ship was built, we experimented with twelve different types of oars, each matched to a different quality, but the results were all extremely poor."

"No matter which type of oar is used as the power source."

"While sailing, they will interfere with the seventh-grade rudder's mana."

"The rudder and oars, which should have supported and strengthened each other, have become a drag on each other, resulting in not only a very slow speed but also extremely difficult to control!"

"You should take a look at the other three. These three are mature in design and have a much larger carrying capacity."

"If you use it to run a boat, sailing back and forth to a few Life Islands, it won't be long before you can earn enough to buy a second boat!"

"Come to me when the time comes, and I'll choose a good ship for you."

Jing Qian knew that Xu Xi was thinking of him with good intentions.

But he had already made his decision!
The boat in front of us, which has not yet been launched, is not missing the matching oars, but it does not need oars to drive.

Ever since Jingchuan's [Wave] destiny broke through to the [Blue Wing] level, he has possessed the ability to steer a boat.

With the help of the magical power generated by [Fate] as the driving force, it is far superior to ordinary oars.

Looking at the entire [Hunzhou], there are still some cultivators who have cultivated the [Wave] destiny, but there is not a single one who can be promoted to the [Green Wing] level.

This ability to steer the ship relying on the [waves] is a secret unique to Jing Qian.

He leaped onto the cabin, and the power of the [Wave] destiny gushed out, instantly blending with the entire ship, becoming one.

The seventh-grade rudder has its own spirituality. Once it comes into contact with the power of the [wave], it is immediately activated and resonates with it.

The entire ship shook, awakening from its slumber and bursting with new life.

Jing Qian stood at the bow, closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the wonderful connection between man and boat.

He could clearly feel that every piece of magical material and every talisman inside the hull were trembling slightly under the combing of the [Wave] destiny, and were connected with his thoughts.

He then began to speak:
"Uncle Xi, my Jing family has a secret method for sailing that can eliminate this boat's flaws. I want to choose this boat!"

Xu Xi was amazed at the transformation of the wreck! Coming from a shipbuilding family, he understood the resonance between the man and the ship, and what it meant.

This is a wonderful state that can only be achieved by an old captain who has been sailing for many years and his treasure ship after years of immersion and running-in!
In this state, not only can the treasure ship hit wherever it points, the ninth-grade sword boat can even burst out with the speed of an eighth-grade dragon boat.

Xu Xi had no doubts about it. He just felt that the Jing family had a deep foundation and that sailing was indeed more professional than shipbuilding. He then said:
"Yes! If the defects can be eliminated, this ship is the first choice."

"This [Small Spiritual Wind Rudder] is a seventh-grade treasure, powerful enough to be used aboard a navy warship. My Xu family won't be able to produce a second one in a short period of time."

"Only you can pick up this leak!"

After saying that, Xu Xi walked to the side of the abandoned ship and used his magic power to drive a formation.

The ground beneath the abandoned ship slowly cracked open, and the water from the impounded lake poured in. With a "splash", the new ship was launched!

When the hull touched the water, Jing Qian felt like a trapped bird returning to the forest, and a long-lost sense of intimacy with the sea arose spontaneously.

He lightly tapped the [Tide] magic power, and the wrecked ship pushed the throttle to the bottom and launched into flight.

With a "whoosh", he rushed out like an arrow from a bow.

He circled the dock several times at high speed, becoming more and more proficient in boat operation.

He just spoke to the shore:
"Thank you Uncle Xi for your help. I like this boat very much!"

"I'm going to play on the sea and experience some real wind and waves!"

He then steered the boat towards the Hunhe River.

Xu Xi, standing on the shore, holding a large book in his hands, shouted loudly:
"The formalities haven't been completed yet!"

"Give this ship a name so I can file it with the Maritime Affairs Bureau!"

"Let's call it Dingyuan!"

The other party's voice was getting farther and farther away, and it had already turned around Xu's shipyard and disappeared.

Jing Qian and the boat became one, speeding across the sea.

In the waters of this dock, he only used 10% of his magic power, and the boat speed exceeded 30 kilometers, which was extremely outstanding among the many ships.

He did not stop at all. He moved left and right among the passing ships, as nimbly as if floating, and came directly to the exit of the impounded lake. With a lift of the bow, he plunged into the Hunhe River and headed towards the open sea.

This seventh-grade [Hunhe River] has a peculiar nature and is 666 feet 6 inches wide.

The way to the island floats on the river and climbs all the way.

The way down to the island is upside down under a hanging river, and you have to jump down all the way.

Although Jing Qian rushed down headfirst, the Hun River had its own gravity, sucking the boat and people along as if they were walking on flat ground.

He relaxed his control over the Dingyuan and allowed the Hunhe River to operate on its own.

In just three days, he would be like a dragon swimming into the sea, visiting all the great sea monsters in a more powerful posture.

He has been wandering around on this [Hunzhou Island] for quite some time. Although he received compensation from the Jing family, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

However, most of the resources for cultivation have been used up, and I urgently need contributions from my family members in the sea.

Therefore, after arranging matters on the island, he chose to sail out to sea without hesitation.

This time, with the help of Dingyuan, he will surely achieve greater results!

However, before going down to the sea, the hidden dangers on the ship still need to be resolved in advance.

Jing Qian looked towards a corner of his cabin and said:
"My friend, please tell me what difficulties you have. If you want to hijack the ship, there is no need for that!"

Is there anyone on board?
