Chapter 357: Hai Zhou |
Not far from Hidden Spirit Island and above the surface of the Endless Sea, a Spirit Boat was drifting with the wind.
Xu Fan and Wang Yulun were fishing on the Spirit Boat.
“Why aren’t you keeping your wife company?” Xu Fan asked, holding his fishing rod.
“She’s been in closed-door cultivation recently.” Wang Yulun replied nonchalantly, holding his fishing rod.
“Are you worrying about something again, worried about being strong in your dreams again?” Xu Fan casually teased.
“No, it’s just that after a round trip at the Ghost Gate, I suddenly feel that cultivation seems meaningless.” Wang Yulun expressed in an indifferent manner, appearing like an enlightened monk.
“Young man, you have lost your dreams.”
“What dreams.” Wang Yulun spat out dismissively.
“Life’s not all about struggling, your son hasn’t married yet, and you’re contemplating retirement, how is that possible.”
At this moment, Wang Yulun’s fishing rod hooked onto something as well. Surprisingly, it was a deep-sea multi-legged worm that was not only disgusting to look at but also had a foul smell.
“Such bad luck.” Wang Yulun muttered, ready to throw the deep-sea multi-legged worm back into the sea.
“Wait a minute,” Xu Fan said with squinted eyes.
The multi-legged worm that was flung into the sea was fished back by Xu Fan, sensing a strange spiritual power within the worm.
The meter-long deep-sea multi-legged worm was manipulated by Xu Fan to levitate mid-air and then slowly decomposed. A billiard-sized pearl shimmering with brilliant spiritual light floated in mid-air and then slowly landed into Xu Fan’s hands.
“Heavenly Spirit Pearl, your luck is really invincible.” Xu Fan handed the Heavenly Spirit Pearl to Wang Yulun.
“Why give it to me, I didn’t discover it,” Wang Yulun said, surprisingly unexcited upon discovering such a treasure.
“The Heavenly Spirit Pearl can absorb spiritual power from the endless void. Wearing it is just like having a second Dantian. Placing it in the Spirit Gathering Array can multiple the absorption of spiritual power several times.”
“Besides, if you have artifact refining…”
Xu Fan shared a lot of benefits about the Heavenly Spirit Pearl.
“You take it. Are we still distinguishing between you and me? You were just thinking about strengthening the Sect’s Spirit Gathering Array. Take it.” Wang Yulun once again cast his line and continued fishing.
“Okay.” Xu Fan nodded. Brothers don’t need to be polite with each other.
After a full morning of fishing, they returned to the Hidden Spirit Sect in the afternoon.
Appearing in the Spirit Gathering space of the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan gently threw the Heavenly Spirit Pearl into the sky from his hand.
The Heavenly Spirit Pearl appeared directly in the middle of the three Dao Artifact Gathering Spirit Pearls and a new Spirit Gathering Array was formed.
The Sky Blue Spiritual Liquid Waterfall above the Spirit Liquid Lake suddenly increased several times in flow, and the entire Spirit Liquid Lake almost couldn’t bear it.
“Master, should the Sect start charging?” Pu Tao’s voice promptly resounded.
“Go for it. We will think about where to go after it’s full.” Xu Fan laughed. He couldn’t help but marvel at his brother’s greatness.
“Since we have more spiritual Qi, let’s open a few more production lines.”
“Yes, sir.”
At Refining Equipment Peak, Senior Brother Sha was examining some freshly mined spiritual ore.
“Master, any clues?” A disciple from the Refining Equipment Peak asked.
“I have barely managed to refine it, but it’s far from satisfactory,” Senior Brother Sha shook his head and said. He had been striving tirelessly ever since he had accepted the task assigned by Xu Fan.
Despite numerous attempts at creating alloys, he still wasn’t satisfied with the outcomes.
“Senior Brother Sha.”
Xu Fan appeared next to Senior Brother Sha.
“The Elder has arrived, please have a seat.”
“Qingling, pour the tea,” said Sha Di, stupidly.
“Senior Brother Sha, can these spirit minerals be combined together?” Xu Fan asked.
“They can be, but they don’t achieve the hardness that the Elder has requested,” Shadi said, shaking his head.
Xu Fan sent all the mega items he had found around Hidden Spirit Island to Shadi, hoping that he could help develop alloys with extremely high conductivity and hardness to replace the Spirit Iron Array Plate at the bottom of Hidden Spirit Island.
“The alloy we have researched now only meets the conductivity demanded by the Elder. The hardness is only slightly stronger than the spirit platform.”
“Senior Brother Sha, don’t worry. I suspect it’ll get better once we find more spirit minerals in the future,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“Alright, then I’ll push harder recently and refine the Little Sea Boat, I hope it can help the Sect,” Shadi said.
Upon hearing Shadi’s words, Xu Fan’s eyes lit up. The Rich Wife and Obedient Disciple seemed to have left a Sea Boat in the treasure house when they left.
“Then I’ll have to trouble Senior Brother Sha.”
After Xu Fan finished speaking, he bid farewell to Shadi and went to the treasure house.
Not long after, Xu Fan walked out of the treasure house holding a Mobile Palace Magical Treasure.
On Satellite Island, the Integration Stage Five Spirit Monkeys that had just returned were called over by Xu Fan.
On the sea surface outside of Hidden Spirit Island.
‘Bang’
A 30,000-meter-long Sea Boat appeared on the sea surface.
“It looks a bit better than that Floating Skyship.”
“Doable, just a little short on sub-batteries.” When Shadi heard that Xu Fan wanted to test drive the Sea Boat, he came over too.
Xu Gang and Xu Yuexian also rushed over.
“Master, is this the Sea Boat of fourth Junior Brother’s wife?” Xu Gang asked, grinning at the sight of the Sea Boat.
“Yes, I just remembered it today, so I thought I’d take it out for a spin,” Xu Fan replied with a smile.
The crowd boarded the Sea Boat. The Integration Stage’s Five Spirit Monkeys went to the power core of the Sea Boat. To drive the Sea Boat, they still had to get authority, which in the Cultivation World is called Temporary Ownership.
At this moment, a pillar of spiritual liquid fell from the sky into the power core of the Sea Boat.
Instantly, the entire Sea Boat seemed to come alive.
“Master, what is this?” Xu Yuexian asked, peering at the column of light still pouring spiritual liquid into the Sea Boat’s power core.
“Oh, this is the spiritual liquid replacing the spirit stones. The delivery method is a bit crude at the moment, but I’ll fix it later,” Xu Fan said.
Now, Xu Fan uses the spiritual liquid from the Spirit Gathering Array to replace the spirit stones, for efficiency and energy saving.
“Okay.”
In everyone’s opinion, using Spirit Stones is more convenient.
“What should we do when we leave the range of the Spirit Gathering Array conveying the spiritual liquid?” Shadi asked.
“Short distances directly transfer the spiritual liquid, medium and long distances use the teleportation array to send the spiritual liquid to the power core,” Xu Fan replied with a smirk, feeling that absolutely no one had thought of this idea before.
“What about the positioning of the teleportation array?” a somewhat excited Shadi asked. A good Artifact Refiner would certainly be a master at forming arrays.
He had also thought about this problem when he had just learnt to draw a teleportation array.
“This is a bit complex. Take a look at the rune sequence of the teleportation array in this Jade Slip,” Xu Fan said, handing a Jade Slip to Shadi. It was the double-sided shifting teleportation array.
As soon as he learnt about the teleportation array, he inferred that it could be moved and teleport at the same time, and it has now evolved into a version with unlimited signal connections. As long as there is a signal on both ends of the teleportation array, teleportation can be done, and coordinates are updated in real-time.
