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

Chapter 108 Resolving the Crisis, Ninth Level of Qi Refining

Obviously, the Jindan monks wanted to say some private things that were not suitable for the people below to hear.

"Whoo~"

The cultivators on the first and second floors, such as Meng Dahe, immediately withdrew in an orderly manner. They had never experienced so much pressure from the golden elixir in their lives.

I don’t know if these Jindan cultivators did it on purpose, but whenever they have emotional fluctuations, the people below have to bear invisible pressure. It is obvious that they do not regard low-level cultivators as human beings.

Rather than listening to them telling riddles inside, it is better to leave early to avoid harming innocent people.

"I believe that all of you fellow Daoists have come here today to learn about the Black Flood Emperor's weapon solution and the whereabouts of the Dragon Ball, right?"

After the crowd left, the remaining people revealed themselves and gathered together to start further communication.

"Indeed! I wonder what Fellow Daoist Lin wants to say? This auction isn't just for a chat with us, right? Why didn't Fellow Daoist Lilong come?"

There is no need to pretend at this point, just speak your mind.

"I won't beat around the bush with you fellow Taoists. Today I'm giving you a clear answer: the Dragon Ball is not with me, and it has nothing to do with my Lin family!"

Lin Haichao went straight to the point without any nonsense.

"I, Lin Haichao, swear a solemn oath from my heart that my Lin family has absolutely not obtained the Dragon Ball. If I lie, I will never be able to advance to the middle stage of the Golden Core in this lifetime."

"As for Li Long, he has indeed gained some opportunities and is currently refining in the Lin family's secret place. It's not impossible for me to bring you fellow Taoists to see it, as long as you dare."

The stronger one's Dao heart is, the more useful the Dao Heart Oath will be. This is an oath that binds oneself. Someone like Lin Haichao who is already on the threshold of the middle stage of the Golden Core should not use this to lie.

"I, Lin Rongrong, swear a solemn oath from my heart that the Lin family has absolutely not obtained the Dragon Ball. If I lie to you, I will never be able to advance to the middle stage of the Golden Core in this lifetime."

Without anyone noticing, another Jindan cultivator from the Lin family actually entered the auction house silently. Everyone observed her realm and found that she had also reached the third level of Jindan.

Compared to Lin Haichao, who is 400 years old and of the Hai generation, Lin Rongrong is nearly 200 years younger. She has a bright future and it is even less likely that she would lie in her Dao Heart Oath.

"Both Lin family Daoists are very kind. At this moment, we came to Yulong Immortal City because we trust you."

"Fellow Daoist Chen is absolutely right. It is precisely because we trust the Lin family that we have come to support you."

"Thank you all for your trust, fellow Taoists. Actually, that day..."

Lin Haichao naturally knew what they wanted to know, and then began to tell them everything he saw and heard on the day the Black Dragon King was released.

In fact, Lin Haichao was not even among the top five when he arrived.

Not to mention that there are many Jindan in Guanlan Fairy City, which is the closest to the Dark Sea. They have three third-level ships that drift around the periphery of the Dark Sea all year round. They are the most suspicious.

However, Lin Haichao cannot say these words himself. Instead, he should help these people narrow down their targets while distancing himself from the matter, and then let them lock on to new targets themselves.

"I see. Why didn't anyone from Guanlan Fairy City come today? It turns out they all knew."

Not only Guanlan Xiancheng understood this, but the larger Jindan forces and the nearby Jindan forces also understood that it was impossible for the Lin family to obtain the Dragon Ball because the Lin family arrived very late and was short of manpower.

Therefore, the Jindan cultivators present today are basically from far away, and there are even third-rate Jindan cultivators from outside the Western Regions who are not familiar with the local situation.

"I have a record of what the Carp Dragon Demon King saw and heard at the bottom of the sea that I can share with you for free. However, I need you to also swear a Dao Heart Oath to ensure that you will not reveal anything you saw and heard today, or any details, in any way. How do you do that?"

Lin Haichao's record of what he saw started when he set out with the Carp Dragon Demon King and ended when he returned to his family, recording in detail everything he saw that day.

Lin Haichao only took out the second half, which recorded in detail what the Carp Dragon Demon King saw and heard after he went down to the Dragon Burial Valley. The most important content was what specific relics the Black Dragon King left behind.

Jindan cultivators already have the ability to modify the Xiying Pearl, but they also have corresponding identification and judgment abilities.

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Then everyone swore an oath in tacit agreement.

The binding force of this oath is indeed limited, but those who practice Taoism generally do not joke about it, because going astray and becoming possessed by demons is a real thing.

"My fellow Taoists, I won't see you off then!"

This is what everyone wants. They want to know what exactly happened that day, what spiritual objects were there, and who has the key things, and then make the next judgment.

As long as I get this record, the trip will be worthwhile.

With the departure of this group of Jindan monks, it meant that the Lin family had completely cleared the suspicion of obtaining the Dragon Ball and escaped from this crisis.

However, the bustle of Yulong Fairy City will not stop for a while, because a large number of foreign ships have poured in, bringing a large number of cargo orders to the fairy city, thereby driving the economy of the archipelago. Now is the hottest time.

"Myna, how many do you want?"

Lin Qianfan took out all nine Dragon Yuan Fruits. Each one was almost identical, and there was nothing to pick.

"I'll take three. I've just reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and need some time to settle down. It's not suitable for me to use too many. If I wasn't thinking about advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible, I wouldn't be willing to spend this money."

"Don't think like that. Your current earning ability will definitely be different from your earning ability after building your foundation. The sooner you build your foundation, the better, as long as you ensure your foundation is strong enough."

"I understand. Here, this is four hundred and seven."

"How dare you quote a thousand? Where's the money coming from?"

"You're underestimating me, aren't you? As someone with a fire spirit root, I started learning to refine weapons in the mines. It's normal for me to gain some benefits, right?"

"Really?"

"100 percent."

That’s right. In the past, mynah birds would spend their adulthood on the ship, so how could they have the opportunity to learn proper weapon refining?

But it is different in the mines. There are a large number of low-priced raw materials, ready-made teachers, and free-cost underground fire resources. It is normal for Starling to learn refining with the advantage of his fire spiritual roots in the late stage of Qi Refining.

"Here, this thing is suitable for you. It can help you avoid some detours."

"What? Blazing Fire Control Technique?"

Seeing Lin Qianfan's serious expression, the mynah bird immediately read the jade slip. "Fuck, this is a gem! It's even more advanced than the family's existing fire control techniques. How did you get it?"

"I've even managed to get a second-tier spirit beast. Getting a sophisticated fire control technique shouldn't be that difficult, right?"

"What? Your carp spirit has advanced to the second level?"

"Yinlin, Lin Qianbao called you a carp spirit."

"Ang~"

Silver Scale jumped out of the spirit beast bag and pressed down on the starling from above. The real second-level pressure pressed the starling face to face so hard that it could not move.

"I was wrong! I was wrong! Elder Yinlin, I was just being mean. It was unintentional. Please retract your magical powers."

Yinlin has the mind of a child. When the starling called it Elder Yinlin, it became complacent and immediately shrank back.

Because the fourth elder that Lin Qianfan often called was very scary to it, it felt that anyone who could be called an elder must be a very powerful person.

"I'm impressed. I didn't expect you to get such a great opportunity. I was thinking that you might not be able to pay when the family distributes the legacy of the Dragon King. I didn't expect you to be one step ahead."

"By the way, how much is this Fire Control Technique?"

"Just watch and give it."

"Then let's make it two hundred spirit stones."

"Row!"

Brothers should settle accounts clearly. It’s not that Lin Qianfan needs the two hundred, but that Lin Qianbao must give him the two hundred. Otherwise, once a relationship is formed where one party gives the other a gift for free, the relationship will change.

The price is not high. Since Lin Qianfan took it out, he will exchange it for the family secret treasury later. At that time, the exchange price for other members of the family will be about the same.

The next morning, in the family's general affairs hall.

"This is the list of the first-level Dragon King's legacy that the family has confiscated. It will be temporarily open for exchange for three days and then put into storage. After that, it cannot be easily exchanged."

From the day Lin Qianfan ran back on his own, the family summoned and recalled the core members of the family who were serving in various places, because the existence of the legacy of the Dragon King would inevitably lead to some chaos.

"Jiaoling Kui, Qiuying Orchid, Quetzalcoatlus, Golden Scale Fruit..."

The items on the list were all kinds of things. Some of them were not even the Dragon Emperor's relics, but were just precious spiritual objects that were confiscated during this turmoil.

“Tsk tsk tsk~ They all gathered here.”

"But..."

Most of the Dragon King's legacy is only of great benefit to monsters rather than human cultivators, and Lin Qianfan's authority and strength can only be exchanged for first-level spiritual objects. Yin Lin obviously no longer needs first-level spiritual objects, so there is no particularly suitable choice.

"The power is still too small. Only the foundation-building stage can be considered a privilege."

Among the things collected, there must be some things that are useful to Qi-refining cultivators, such as Dragon Yuan Fruit, but those with higher priority will definitely be exchanged directly if they choose first.

Finally, Lin Qianfan chose a pair of Yuling precious fruits.

The medicinal properties of this thing are not very strong. It is a spiritual object that can continuously nourish the body and eliminate disasters and diseases. Lin Qianfan exchanged it for his parents. They are not core members of the family and do not have the right to exchange it.

Inside the family's second-level cave for foundation-building seeds.

"Six, I hope I can directly break into the ninth level of Qi Refining."

After tearing off the skin, the flesh of the Longyuan Fruit is crystal clear, like soft jade touched by water.

The Dragon Yuan Fruit melted in the mouth and instantly turned into a huge amount of ownerless, attributeless pure spiritual power. Although the amount was large, not much of it dissipated, but was temporarily carried by Lin Qianfan's body.

Lin Qianfan immediately practiced his skills to guide this spiritual power into the Dantian Qi Sea and transform it into Gengjin spiritual power.

The spiritual power cyclone in the center of the Qi Sea spins wildly and absorbs the violent wind, and then transmits the tamed Gengjin spiritual power to every capillary meridian in the entire Great Circulation.

"Huh~ I've gained about a year's worth of cultivation."

This more than one year is not calculated based on Lin Qianfan's own practice, but the average practice level of three spiritual roots for more than one year. If converted to Lin Qianfan himself, it is only about half a year.

"It seems that it is right to sell the nine Dragon Yuan Fruits together. Otherwise, some people will feel as if they have not eaten anything at all."

It was also because Lin Qianfan's absorption rate was high enough. If it were someone else, the effect of the medicine might not last for less than a year of cultivation. Less than a year of cultivation can only be said to be better than nothing for a cultivator with four or five spiritual roots.

"continue!"

After feeling the situation and finding that it did not affect any of his foundation, Lin Qianfan continued to refine.

The second, third, fourth...

It was not until he completely refined the fifth one that Lin Qianfan barely reached the threshold of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

It was not until the sixth spiritual root was successfully refined that Lin Qianfan successfully broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. If he had used the other three spiritual roots that did not have such a high absorption rate, he would definitely not have been able to break through even after refining the sixth one.

"Finally reached the ninth level of Qi Refining!"

Carefully feel the state. Although this level of cultivation was increased directly through a shortcut, the foundation is still solid, worthy of being the legacy of the Black Dragon Emperor's weapon.

"It's not without cost, is it? My physical strength has decreased quite a bit, and the Qi and Blood that Silver Scale gave me earlier has consumed nearly 20% of it. If someone without any Qi and Blood foundation took it, I'm afraid it would cause Qi and Blood to be depleted."

There is no such thing as power that comes at no cost. Any gift has a price.

"But it's worth it, it's three years ahead of schedule."

After reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining, Lin Qianfan's strength increased again. The total amount of spiritual power alone increased by 50%. The top-grade Phantom Sword, which was originally difficult to control, is now much easier.

After completing the breakthrough, Lin Qianfan did not come out immediately, but continued to practice and consolidate to adapt to the new power.
