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

Chapter 144 Four new spiritual tools, set up the cave
After finishing the most important thing, Lin Qianfan finally had time to come to the family secret library to replace the second-level equipment.

As a Jindan force with an orderly inheritance, every new foundation-building cultivator of the Lin family can come here to exchange for a set of special second-level robes engraved with multiple formations, and two second-level spiritual weapons, one for attack and one for defense, for free.

The former represents the identity of the elder of the Lin family, and is recognized by all major forces in the Western Regions; the latter can arm a cultivator and allow him to quickly escape from a vulnerable period.

These things are not ordinary goods, but fine spiritual weapons carefully selected by the ancestors of the Lin family from generation to generation.

The Lin family has had its own second-level weapon refiners for every generation. Only their masterpieces can be included in the secret library for exchange by clan members, while other ordinary quality ones will be sold.

In addition, after the Lin family establishes their foundation and passes away, if there is no direct heir, their property will be taken over by the family; if there is an heir, their personal belongings will belong to their heir, and the family's public property will belong to the family.

So we are not exaggerating when we say that our products are carefully selected from the same family, and there is not a single inferior one.

"If you attack a spiritual weapon..."

The collection in the secret library is very rich, diverse, and covers a wide range of things, even more complete than the list of items at an auction.

Although there are many choices, Lin Qianfan can only choose a sword as his attack weapon, because the sword spiritual power generated by the Gengjin Sword Technique can only be used to control the sword to exert the maximum attack intensity.

"Prioritize flying sword..."

The range that the foundation-building divine consciousness can cover is the range that the flying sword can accurately strike. Lin Qianfan needs a suitable flying sword to arm himself.

The sword commonly used in the Qi Refining Stage is relatively less important. In the future, close combat will be relatively less common, so you can make do with the top-grade Phantom Sword for the time being. In the future, when you have more money, you can have a spare one, but it will not be the main means of attack.

"Golden flying sword..."

The sword is a form of weapon, and its five attributes can be divided according to the material. Among them, the gold-attributed sword is the most common, and the family provides many options.

Lin Qianfan selected them one by one, and finally locked on a second-grade low-grade flying sword engraved with the words "Zhan Ting".

"Zhan Ting Zhan Ting, cut off the thunder, what a good name!"

This flying sword is small and exquisite in shape, and is designed for speed, sharpness, armor-piercing, and stealth. It is very suitable for Lin Qianfan's attack method and can be used as the main means of attack in the early stage of foundation building.

When you need to replace equipment in the middle and late stages of foundation building, it can also become a corner of the Phantom Sword Formation.

The Phantom Sword Formation in "Phantom Sword Classic", which can only be practiced after building the foundation, requires at least twelve second-level flying swords as the formation base, and the main sword must also be a second-level phantom sword.

This huge financial expenditure is obviously not something Lin Qianfan can afford at the moment, and he needs to accumulate it slowly, especially the second-level Phantom Sword, which needs to be refined by himself, which is a bit troublesome and may not be fully utilized until the middle and late stages of foundation building.

"As for defensive spiritual weapons..."

The number of defensive spiritual weapons is obviously less than that of offensive spiritual weapons. In addition, their life-saving properties often make them more valuable individually.

Defensive spiritual weapons can generally be roughly divided into three categories: wearable, independent, and spontaneous.

As the name suggests,

Wearable defensive spiritual weapons are worn directly on the body, such as robes, armor, inner armor, etc.

The advantage is that it can provide close protection at all times, move at will, and be activated very quickly. Even if it is not actively activated, it can still provide a certain passive defense capability.

The disadvantage is that it is very limited by the material. Not everything can be put on the body. For example, the large turtle shell known for its defense is not convenient to carry on the body all the time.

The independent type needs to be summoned by oneself during combat, such as various shields, or even large spiritual weapons with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

The advantage is that their defensive capabilities are maximized, and a specially made giant shield is difficult to be broken from the front by monks of the same level.

The disadvantages are also obvious. If they are not deployed in time, it means that they do not provide any effective defense. Moreover, they consume a lot of spiritual power. Once the spiritual power stops, the defense will be reset to zero.

The spontaneous type is rarer than the above two types, and the individual value is quite high. For example, the automatic jade pendant that protects the owner will be automatically activated after refining when the owner is attacked to a threshold.

The advantage is that you have a full sense of security. When you are attacked by someone, you can force yourself to block it, and then find an opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

The disadvantage is that it is extremely expensive and is not a long-lasting spiritual weapon. This kind of spiritual weapon often has a breaking threshold and will be completely scrapped after a few uses, or it may even be disposable.

"Autonomous defensive spiritual weapons are suitable for additional equipment when wealth overflows. Should we choose wearable or independent ones now?"

"Wearing it can provide passive defense and consume less spiritual energy."

"Independent combat is a weapon, but it has requirements for the controller."

The Lin family's secret library has a very comprehensive collection. Lin Qianfan selected them one by one, and no one urged him.

"Let's choose this shield."

After some consideration, Lin Qianfan finally chose a small red-gold spirit crystal shield.

The family's standard elder robe is a good second-level defensive spiritual weapon. Although its defense value is not as high as that of a proprietary defensive spiritual weapon, it is better in terms of comprehensive protection. As long as you don't act secretly, you don't need to take it off.

In addition, this small spirit crystal shield does have outstanding advantages among the second-grade low-grade spirit weapons, so Lin Qianfan made this choice.

This small shield has the characteristics of low-consumption idle defense and high-consumption flexible defense. It can be easily called upon by a small amount of divine thoughts, can rotate around the owner at high speed, and can directly serve as a means of attack when attacked by the enemy, with high shield damage.

Lin Qianfan's spiritual power is inherently more agile and profound than that of others. He can easily control a flying sword and a flying shield at the same time, and the burden is limited.

"It would be nice to have another spiritual bow."

After choosing two spiritual weapons, Lin Qianfan still felt empty-handed. If he had a magic bow in his hand in addition to controlling the flying sword and flying shield, he would feel truly safe.

Unfortunately, only two items can be selected for free this time, and the rest need to be exchanged with money. Lin Qianfan, who originally had some savings, seems poor here. The things here are very expensive even after discounts, after all, they are all high-quality products.

Of course, the secret library's inventory is not limited to these. In addition to the mainstream offensive and defensive spiritual weapons, there are also a large number of auxiliary types, such as cloaks, incense tables, alchemy furnaces, tripods, boots, hairpins, etc.

However, this time, you can only choose offensive and defensive magic weapons to ensure that the new foundation-building cultivator can form foundation-building combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Other things should only be considered when you are completely integrated into the foundation-building and have extra financial resources.

At the end, Lin Qianfan had an idea and thought of the shiny silver scales on his body, so he said to the fourth elder:

"Fourth Elder, Yinlin is an elder now, shouldn't he also choose two to go?"

Lin Qianfan takes charge and plans to seek justice for Yinlin.

"...The treatment of elders is somewhat different from that of elders. After all, Yin Lin can't make much substantial contribution to the family."

After Lin Qianfan established his foundation, Yin Lin's original treatment as a quasi-elder was upgraded to that of an elder, and his annual salary increased significantly, but he was no longer eligible to choose spiritual weapons.

"Fourth Elder, you know that Yin Lin also has the potential to become a demon king. Perhaps with your support, in one or two hundred years, the family will be able to add another third-level demon king."

"Do you know the value of a third-rank demon king? With a lifespan exceeding a thousand years, and one demon passed down through three generations, there's no limit to its potential value."

Although Yinlin was born as a wild demon, he was very diligent in his cultivation and did not need Lin Qianfan's supervision at all. Compared with the long lifespan of the demon race, such a proactive demon beast was rare.

Coupled with the day and night influence of the aura of the Carp Dragon Demon King, Yin Lin becoming the Demon King may not be an empty promise.

"What does this have to do with choosing a spiritual weapon?" "It's very relevant! Having a spiritual weapon can improve combat effectiveness. Not only can it increase your chances of survival, but it can also help you hunt for food..."

"One piece!"

"Two! One is so petty, it makes it seem like our Lin family is so wealthy but can't afford it."

Since these two were familiar faces, Lin Qianfan didn't hesitate and started choosing directly.

Compared to spiritual weapons for humans, there are far fewer choices for demons. After all, few people would customize spiritual weapons specifically for demon beasts. Even if there are, they are often customized for one demon and not suitable for other demon beasts. After being obtained by others, they are generally dismantled/smelted/recycled.

"Let's take this spirit bead."

Fortunately, the Carp Dragon Monster is a Lin family heirloom monster, and the mainstream beast taming in the Storm Ocean is also mainly water-attributed, so it is easy to choose a spiritual weapon suitable for Silver Scale.

This spiritual bead has its own internal space, which can be used for storage and convenient for Yinlin to carry the spiritual water he has refined so that he can use it in battle at any time.

In addition, this spirit bead itself is very strong, the size of a millstone, powerful and heavy, and can attack and defend, with three uses in one bead.

After selecting the spirit bead, Lin Qianfan returned to the human spiritual weapon area and decisively took a pure lotus cushion.

This Pure Lotus Cushion is a second-grade, mid-grade auxiliary spiritual tool that can automatically absorb and store spiritual energy, helping cultivators to practice anytime and anywhere. Lin Qianfan plans to bring it on board to use, so that he can satisfy his daily practice even when he goes to some areas with thin spiritual energy.

Compared to the second-grade low-grade spirit bow, the value of this Pure Lotus Cushion is obviously higher, and the spirit bow can be purchased later with money.

"We've chosen, let's go."

It stands to reason that getting a second-grade mid-grade spiritual weapon in the early stage of foundation building is a bit excessive, and at least some compensation should be given, but the Fourth Elder did not stop him. Lin Qianfan took it for his own use and would not resell it.

Principle? Violation?
When you are good enough, principles will always be on your side, and rules can be tailored for you!

Fairness is always relative, there is no absolute fairness!
Lilong Fishery,

Lin Qianfan found it on the dragon pillar of Yinlin.

"This is the magic weapon I begged for you. Do you like it?"

"Like it~"

When Lin Qianfan was building his foundation, Yin Lin received a little spiritual feedback, and his spiritual intelligence was further developed. Now he can speak clearly through his spiritual thoughts.

"After refining it and getting familiar with it, I'll come to spar with you tomorrow."

"Um...okay..."

"No! I need to check if you've been slacking off lately."

Upon hearing this, Yin Lin swallowed the spirit pearl in one gulp and began to refine it.

Humans have spiritual power, and demons have demonic power. These powers are essentially transformed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and can naturally be used to refine demonic spiritual weapons.

Pupu~

The silver-scaled tail fin stirred up water, and it was obvious that it was quite satisfied with this spiritual weapon, especially the storage function that could help it store its private demon items, making it much more convenient to travel.

Leaving Lilong Fishery,

Lin Qianfan came to the core area of the family to choose a location for the cave and see if he needed to open a separate cave.

“Concentration, seclusion, convenience, safety…”

The family has opened up many caves during the generations of foundation building. You can directly choose those idle caves or open up your own.

"Hey! Here's a ready-made one!"

The family has developed for so many years and has some golden elixir seeds. It is normal for people to have the same idea of site selection.

Rumble~
The cave, which has been in disrepair and unmaintained for many years, has long been covered with dust. Unnamed spiritual plants with strong vitality have penetrated into every crevice, and the traces of the passage of time are very obvious here.

Call ~
He waved his sleeves and cast a spell, clearing the entire cave space.

"Reception room, training room, herbal medicine cultivation room, operation room..."

Although the cave is old, its functional divisions are relatively complete, and it is obvious that the previous owner of this cave was not a rough person.

"We also need to build a lounge for Yinlin and set up an emergency shelter."

The mountain that has been baptized by spiritual veins for countless years is not ordinary soil. It would take a lot of effort to open up a cave with complete functions here, so Lin Qianfan just stayed and planned to make some minor changes based on the work of his predecessors and continue using it.

Rumble~
The Thunder-Slaying Sword, which had just been slightly refined, was not yet as easy to wield as it could be, but it was still capable of splitting earth and cutting rocks.

"Huh? There's already a secret room?"

Call ~
Unfortunately, the scene in the storybook that there must be a special inheritance when encountering a secret cave did not appear. The predecessor cleaned it up before passing away, and the secret room was just a simple underground secret room.

"The soil and rock here are as solid as iron and gold. They are very stable. If we set up some defensive and concealing formations, we can use them as a temporary shelter."

The core area of the family is naturally relatively safe, but it is better to be prepared. We cannot rule out the possibility of some extreme situations.

After returning to the cave, Lin Qianfan counted what specific formations were needed so that he could collect the corresponding materials.

Among them, only the key formations need to be at the second level, such as the defensive formation at the cave entrance, the defensive formation in the training room, and the concealment and defense formation in the secret room. Other small formations that are only used to provide convenience in daily life only need to be at the first level.

"Let's get the first level done first. As for the second level formation, we can wait for a while. My pockets are empty now, so I'll take it slow."

Lin Qianfan can set up a first-level formation by himself, but he has not yet been promoted to a second-level formation master and does not have much spare money, so he can only temporarily put some of the processes on hold.

Moved to the cave,

Lin Qianfan brought his father and mother over for a reunion.

The environment here is better, and it will be better for their health if they can live here for a long time.

But they were not willing to leave the crowd. For them, it was more comfortable to continue living with familiar people and things than here, and they were also unwilling to disturb Lin Qianfan's practice.

"Son, you've grown up now. You have your own path to walk in life. You might as well walk it boldly. You don't have to worry too much about us. We have enough food and clothing now, and we're doing pretty well."

"oh, I understand now."

Lin's father and mother are only around seventy years old now, and are actually still middle-aged. Letting them live in isolation would be torture.
