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

Chapter 119: People's hearts are different, the Zhang family is in trouble

"Why don't you lend it to Li Gui? We had a good agreement before, but now you've changed your mind, can't they see it? How will we deal with our relationship in the future? How will Li Mao view our family after he establishes his foundation? Will we still be able to curry favor with him then?"

"What's the point of yelling at a woman? Why didn't you dare to stand up just now? What do you know? Li Mao has been a taciturn person since he was a child. I don't think he has much hope. Even though he's a foundation-building seed, I don't think his success rate will be too high. Investing money in him is a waste of money."

"what?"

"Ah what? We have to invest all our money in Qianfan. Guess what I see in Qianfan?"

"what?"

"That day I was picking lotus pods at the fishing grounds... He was actually riding a carp dragon monster. My goodness, that carp dragon monster was incredibly handsome, and Lin Qianfan, who could properly control the carp dragon monster, was no ordinary person."

"No, what did you say? Is it a carp dragon monster or a carp dragon fish monster? Are you seeing things?"

"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake? There's a huge difference between a carp dragon demon and a carp dragon fish demon, how could I not tell them apart? The abominable thing is that this guy didn't even bring up such a big thing. He's really patient and a man who can accomplish great things."

"Gulu~"

"So, you're right to listen to me on this matter."

Lin Ligui felt a little lost after leaving his third aunt's house. He didn't expect that what Lin Qianfan said would come true.

Lin Qianfan said a few years ago that blood relationship is just a reference, and true feelings still need to be seen in reality. I didn’t expect it to come true so soon.

How could Lin Ligui not know whether his third uncle gambles or not?

How could Lin Ligui not know who was in charge of the money in his third aunt's family?
Lin Limao's attempt to establish his foundation was not something that had just happened today. Everyone had known about it for many years, but no one expected that before the test of people's hearts had even begun, their hearts had dispersed already.

Thinking of this, Lin Ligui, who was originally only short of 100 spirit stones, planned to visit all the remaining families to see their reactions, and then write down all the details and tell Li Mao and Qian Fan so that they could handle the relationship between relatives based on this.

The rise of Lin Qianfan's family is unstoppable, but Lin Qianfan has never shown off his second-level silver scale, so these relatives don't know about it.

But it is precisely because of this information gap that we can judge the depth of relatives' emotions.

An hour later,

After visiting all his relatives, Lin Ligui felt complicated.

"Borrowing from eight of the twelve is not bad, is it?"

Except for Lin Qianbao's family who were living frugally and could not possibly lend money, the ideal situation in Lin Ligui's mind was that all the other twelve families could borrow money, but he did not expect that four of them refused with various lame excuses.

The family is so small, and everyone knows the economic situation of other relatives. The family is developing so well now, and the treatment in all aspects is not bad. No family is particularly difficult.

If we really have to rank the difficulty, the first family, Agui's family, is the most distantly related to Lin Qianfan's family. Agui and his wife are both in the early stage of Qi Refining, so their family is also the poorest. But Agui's wife directly took the initiative to take out one hundred spirit stones. This is true love!

back home,

Xie Xiaoyan and Lin Limao were still waiting.

"Dad, why did you take so long? How was it?"

"That's enough! There's even more. Everyone is so enthusiastic that they're holding me back and won't let me go."

Lin Ligui didn't mention any details, so as not to affect his brother's mentality. He took out four hundred spirit stones and said:
"This is the hope that our lineage has come together to form. Since it's not convenient for everyone to come and tell you in person, they all asked me to wish you success."

One advantage of using the Foundation Establishment Pill to establish the foundation is that even if it fails, the damage to the body can be minimized. After recuperating for a period of time, you can find your own problems, check for omissions and shortcomings, and there is still a chance to succeed again.

So even if Lin Limao failed this time, he could still get the Pulse Protecting Pill and other foundation-building spiritual objects and try again within fifteen years.

"Thank you, brother and sister-in-law, and thank you all for your support. I can't say anything good. I will repay you after I establish my foundation."

Lin Limao was a little excited when he received the last batch of spirit stones. He was not excited about the money, but about the heavy expectations.

Being the first foundation-building seed from a small branch like him actually received a lot of criticism and doubts, but any excuses were pale. As long as he had the support of his family and could break the shackles, the rest would be a gift.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I need some peace of mind. I'm leaving now. Wait for my good news another day."

"Well, go ahead, we believe you!"

On the eve of the storm season, a cold north wind, which was out of season, had already started to blow in Yanglong Bay. Lin Limao held his clothes tightly and disappeared into the darkness in the direction of his family.

The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Lin Ligui and his wife have watched their younger brother grow up since he was a child. How could they not know his background?
Aside from Lin Qianfan, no one in the family was more hardworking than Lin Limao. As a three-spiritual-root foundation-building seed who had fought his way through adversity, his path wasn't swift, but each step was incredibly solid. …

Zhang family of Yundu Island.

"Ancestor, do we really want to get involved in this kind of thing?"

"I don't have many years left to live. This is a perfect opportunity for me to go to the Northwest Territory and give it a try. If I fail, I'll only lose 20 to 30 years of my life. If I succeed, my family's chronic illness will be completely cured and its decline will be reversed."

"I disagree! This move is too risky. Regardless of success or failure, it will bring enemies to the family. Besides, I would rather you enjoy your old age in peace. Let future generations deal with the problems of the future."

"Childish! What are enemies? If we can't pass it on properly, Yundu Island will have to change its name in the future."

"But…"

"No buts! I've made up my mind. When the time comes, I'll leave most of my wealth in the family and travel light."

The Zhang family of Yundu Island was quite prosperous a few years ago. There were three Jindan cultivators in the family, and the ages of the three Jindan cultivators varied greatly.

Among them, the old ones still have several decades to live, the middle-aged ones have two hundred years to live, and the young ones have only been in the stage of Dan formation for several decades. This is called orderly inheritance, and when the old ones pass away, the young ones are just passing away at the right time.

But after the Jindan pirates attacked the island, the middle-aged Jindan cultivator of the Zhang family died unexpectedly, and now only an old man and a young man are left.

One old and one young will do. Even if the old one passes away after decades, the young one can protect the family for hundreds of years. Within hundreds of years, several golden elixir seeds can be cultivated to achieve golden elixir.

As long as the Zhang family's luck is not so bad that they fail to break through repeatedly, there will be no problem with the inheritance.

But the Zhang family is now facing an economic crisis! A very serious economic crisis! The kind that threatens the inheritance!
Decades ago, the Zhang family spent a great deal of money to acquire relatively complete Jindan spiritual objects for this young Jindan cultivator.
Several years ago, when pirates attacked the island, the Zhang family consumed a large amount of their heritage and stored spirit stones, and many core members of the clan were killed;

Later, due to the loss of the icebreaker Dunshan, in order to continue to take advantage of the northern ice sheet, the Zhang family had to borrow money at high interest rates to order a new icebreaker.

The Zhang family is now in a state of high debt.

The creditor of this huge debt is Qianxing Baowu in Qianxing City, which is backed by the Yuanying force, so the loan must be repaid on time, otherwise this new Shield Mountain ship will be taken back and the core interests of the northern ice field will be lost.

Although there is some repayment pressure according to the Zhang family's original repayment plan, as long as the family is frugal for a hundred years and squeezes more out of its subordinates, there will be no problem.

However, due to the huge chain reaction caused by the death of the Black Dragon King, the Zhang family's repayment plan had to be shelved early.

why?

Take the Lin family, our next-door neighbor, as an example. In the past, the overall strength of the Lin family and the Zhang family was similar, and the profit quota of all businesses of both parties was basically half for each side.

But now that the Lin family is one of the beneficiaries of the Black Dragon Emperor's military release, the Zhang family can only watch helplessly as the Lin family takes a step forward. Can the division of interests between the two parties be maintained in the future?
The answer is definitely no!

The previous profit-sharing ratio needs to be completely changed. The simplest example is that the price of the Lin family's monster-hunting ship going to the northern ice field to hunt monsters has been suppressed, which needs to be readjusted to a reasonable range.

I am stronger than you, obviously much stronger. I just need to show my respect to you, and it is impossible for me to give up too many substantial benefits.

The Lin family is just a microcosm of this. In addition to the Lin family, the Jindan forces near the Dark Sea have more or less benefited from the legacy of the Dragon King. Among them, more than just the Lin family have successfully exchanged for the Breakthrough Pill in the Purple Dragon Pavilion.

The Zhang family, which did not gain any substantial benefits from the Black Dragon Emperor's military release, pales in comparison with other forces.

The Zhang family’s future days will be even more difficult!
For example, several purchase orders originally placed by Guanlan Xiancheng with Yundu Island have now been unilaterally cancelled. It can be foreseen that cooperation in other areas will be terminated one after another, and the profits that Yundu Island can make will be greatly reduced.

Giving concessions to one family is not a big problem, but giving concessions to every family would be terrible. The Zhang family's economic situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse and will even get worse in the next few decades. It is obvious that they will not be able to repay the loan.

Because this kind of attack is all-round, long-term and non-targeted, it cannot be solved simply by cutting costs within the family.

The Zhang family must open up its source of income!
The Zhang family must pay off the huge debt owed for ordering the Shield Mountain warship in one go. Otherwise, they will have to borrow from Peter to pay Paul, and their economic situation will only get worse. By then, the family will not even be able to collect enough spiritual objects for the golden elixir seeds, and their inheritance will be in jeopardy.

We must strive to be debt-free, so that we won't have to exploit our clansmen and subordinate forces anymore. The Zhang family only needs to quietly bide their time for a few hundred years, and in the future, we may be able to restore the Three Golden Pills.

To achieve this, joining the anti-invasion fleet to invade the Northwest Region became the best choice for Zhang Family Lao Jindan.

The Zhang family's situation is just a microcosm. The Zhang family still has young golden elixirs to back them up, but some lower-tier golden elixir forces only have one old golden elixir left, and they have no choice at all.

These old Jindans are now ready to go to the Northwest Region to do something big. They can only get out of their current predicament by looting and clearing out the wealth accumulated by others for generations.

Although everyone's predicament is different, 99% of them can be solved by huge wealth.
