Cultivation begins in the endless sea.

Chapter 78 Star Alliance

Soon after, Lin Canglan led a group of people to explore the underwater secrets of Luoyu Island.

It turns out that at the root of the second-tier mid-grade spiritual vein on Wanling Island, there was an extending branch vein that continued to spread and expand...

Over countless years, it has gradually begun to merge and connect with the spirit ore beneath Fallen Feather Island...

This gave the Water Spirit Spider room to survive.

This news may seem ordinary, but it actually contains a lot of knowledge!

"In this way, we can connect the two islands through some kind of formation, which will not only enable rapid communication and timely transportation, but also allow us to use the three-star conch boat to launch some surprise attacks..."

"Looking at it from a longer perspective, the waters between the two islands can also be considered a strait..."

"Once my cultivation reaches a certain level, I will be able to erect a bridge across the sea in mid-air..."

This was Lin Qing's first reaction upon receiving the message from the ancestor; it was truly an unexpected delight!

In the past two years, the clan has worked diligently and made great progress in all aspects.

They've accumulated a stockpile of Five Elements essence worth around 20,000. While Lin Qing and the others don't need it now, that doesn't mean they won't need it during the war!

In terms of high seas resources, the Fritillaria Dew can bring in more than 800 net profits each year. In addition, with the profit sharing from another high seas mine, these two items alone can bring in about 2,000 spirit stones annually.

In terms of equipment, the clan has already achieved a level where everyone above the mid-stage of Qi Refining has armor, and as time goes on, everyone having a gun will not be just an empty promise...

Regarding the preparation of the clan's treasure vault, all the inheritors of various arts, including Lin Canglan, Lin Shengyu, and Lin Qing, devoted all their spare time to it...

To use the joke about Li Yunshang recording the formation.

"Those who know the situation are fine, but those who don't might think the Lin family is up to something..."

Lin Qing shook his head with a wry smile. The Lin family was not like the Li family; they had only just begun to improve and could not withstand any major setbacks.

"Fortunately, with the help of Fritillaria Dew, it will only take one or two years to reach the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

After reviewing the sect's information, Lin Qing checked his dantian and qi sea, feeling slightly pleased.

Thanks to his superior Foundation Establishment foundation and the profound mysteries of the "Creation Scripture," Lin Qing's Foundation Establishment power is more than 30% stronger than that of other cultivators at the same level. If he can advance to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage...

Not only can it further condense the Profound True Water, combining nine drops of true water into one, condensing a single drop into a terrifying combat power exceeding 50,000 jin…

You can also start practicing the basic moves of the "Floating Light Sword Manual" called "Sword Control Technique".

The so-called "Sword Control Technique" is a sword cultivation method that is quite different from Lin Qing's usual hand seals for controlling the sword.

Ultimately, it's about using one's soul and pure magical power to achieve precise control, as if one were using one's own arm.

According to the sword manual, practicing a thousand times a day requires six years to master the basics. Practicing ten thousand times a day still requires a year…

What does it mean to practice 10,000 times a day?

According to Lin Qing's understanding:

"Practitioners need to highly concentrate their spiritual consciousness and magical power, achieving complete synchronization and resonance between them..."

This is only the first step: sword control.

When Lin Qing saw this, his vision went black, and he almost jumped up and cursed the heavens.

Because he was an alchemist, he knew all too well how difficult it was to synchronize one's spiritual consciousness with one's magical power!

"Who can synchronize consciousness and action?!"

Sword cultivators are fine!

And these are just the basic conditions.

Seeing this, Lin Qing had to admit that swords were not as simple as he had imagined!

"Even a small step forward each day will not be in vain."

Just as Lin Qing was feeling a bit discouraged, he suddenly remembered Hongbo's catchphrase from when they used to play chess together.

……

While Lin Qing was still in seclusion, a "major piece of news" suddenly appeared out of nowhere and quietly swept through the surrounding seas!

"The Starry Constellation Sect is forming a temporary alliance!"

"Bring out the secret treasury within the sect and strongly support all races in contributing manpower and resources..."

"Gather the elites from the five sea regions to form a truly powerful fighting force!"

……

The Qian family's meeting room.

"Chieftain, please let me participate this time!"

With an upright and dignified expression, Qian Xiaoyi earnestly appealed to Qian Changlin, the head of the Qian family.

Qian Changlin stared at him with his round little eyes for a while, then suddenly said seriously:

"Xiao Yi, tell me, who are you targeting?"

Qian Xiaoyi looked embarrassed and said with an awkward smile, "I...I'm serious."

Qian Changlin didn't reply, but just looked at him quietly.

Qian Xiaoyi explained, "Really, I really..." His voice trailed off under the clan leader's watchful gaze...

Qian Changlin was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"To be honest, Xiao Yi, you are exceptionally talented and have a bright future. It's better not to worry about temporary gains or losses."

"..."

Chieftain, are you trying to comfort me?

Qian Xiaoyi looked at the clan leader with an innocent expression, but in her heart she was frantically thinking about how to get what she wanted.

The same situation wasn't limited to the Qian family; many cultivators in the other four sea regions were eager to try their luck, and even the Starry Constellation Sect itself was planning a large-scale sect selection a year from now…

This further confirms the authenticity of the news.

……

On this day, Lin Qinggang swallowed a drop of fritillaria cirrhosa dew.

The moment the spiritual dew entered my mouth, it transformed into a cool, refreshing current that flowed down my throat and into my stomach, causing the meridians throughout my body to contract abruptly. Once the spiritual dew reached my dantian, it released streams of warmth that circulated throughout my entire body.

Under the deliberate guidance of Lin Qing's "True Scripture of Creation", the two streams of spiritual energy quickly harmonized, transforming into the purest spiritual power, continuously striking and cleansing every part of the body's meridians without any omissions.

Once all parts of the body have been refined, the harmonized spiritual energy will flow into the dantian and form a spiritual energy storage.

"Whoa—"

Feeling refreshed and invigorated, as if every part of my body is cleansed.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

Just as Lin Qing's magical power surged and his mind was at its sharpest and most alert, he suddenly heard faint sounds of sea beast language coming from the nearby mother-of-pearl.

Considering the past six months and the jade gourd artifact in his hand, Lin Qing understood perfectly well that someone or a demon must have come to the cave behind the mother-of-pearl.

"Hey, just you wait!"

Lin Qing closed his eyes and continued to sense the mysterious changes within his body…

"Hmm? Perhaps we could try to see whether the one coming to make the handover is human or demon."

Lin Qing recalled the eagle-eyed man's concealed aura, the scale-like magical artifact, and couldn't help but ponder it.

Without hesitation, he took out the scale artifact and placed it in front of his chest. He scanned himself with his divine sense and found that if a Foundation Establishment cultivator were to examine himself carefully with all his might, he could also find a clue.

"I doubt that person would be so audacious..."

Lin Qing leaped out from the entrance. The current guards are led by the elders of the Lin family, along with Lin Kaishu and some other clansmen, so they naturally don't care about the whereabouts of their clan leader.

After leaving the shell farm, Lin Qing flew a distance on his sword, selected a direction, and dived into the seabed to encircle the cave from the outside...

At the place where the sea monster surnamed Ji was hiding, a middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged. He was of medium height and had an ordinary face. His huge lion nose was emitting anxious snorts.

"That demon didn't escape, did he?"
