Chapter 193 The Conversation Before Dawn of the Treasure Ship
After all the tribesmen entered the cave and arranged the supplies brought from Taiqiu Mountain neatly, Li Changqing stood at the front and glanced at everyone.
Then he spoke slowly and said:
"This operation is related to the future development of the family, so there is no room for failure. In addition, if the treasure ship can be repaired, you must be prepared to stay here for a while."
Before setting off, the eighth uncle Li Changji had already told them all about this matter, so when they heard the arrangement of the clan leader Li Changqing, they were not surprised at all, but they all agreed with fists clasped.
Then, Li Changqing waved his hand, indicating that they would each find a place to rest.
When Li Xuanshan saw the clan members around him scattering around, he originally wanted to find a place to sit down. After all, they rushed here from Binhaifang City and didn't stop all the way. According to the plan, tomorrow is the time to take action, and tonight
How can you not nourish your spirit?
But when he saw what the ninth brother Li Xuangang and the tenth brother Li Xuankun were talking about together, he immediately became interested and even the fatigue in his mind was gone.
He twisted his broad body, passed through the tribesmen sitting on the ground, and finally reached the other end of the cave, standing next to Li Xuangang and Li Xuankun.
"Brother Ninth, Brother Ten!"
Li Xuangang turned his head, glanced at him, then showed a smile and said:
"Xuanshan, you came just in time. There is something I want to ask you?"
Li Xuanshan rubbed his hands, exposed all the teeth he could, and responded:
"Brother Ninth, just ask, Xuanshan knows everything and will tell you everything!"
So after the three of them sat down, Li Xuangang continued:
"Before coming here, what were the family's plans for the follow-up arrangements for this operation?"
The smile on Li Xuanshan's face remained unchanged, but he just lowered his answering voice to avoid disturbing the other tribesmen around him.
"So that's what you're asking, Ninth Brother! In fact, even if I didn't tell you, you should be able to guess."
Li Xuangang looked at the seventh uncle Li Changzhi, sixth uncle Li Qingshu, and seventh uncle Li Qinggui who came this time, as well as the resources brought there. Some of them were materials used to refine the treasure ship, but he also had some rough guesses in his mind.
, but not quite sure yet.
That's why he wanted to get the exact answer from Li Xuanshan.
After a moment of silence, as if he was trying to organize his words, Li Xuanshan finally spoke to Li Xuangang and said:
"Brother Ninth, in fact, when the second uncle and the seventeenth uncle sent the news back this time, none of us knew about it. Only the fifth uncle and the others knew about the specific situation at that time, until the eighth uncle organized us to participate in this incident.
When we took action, we were told the details."
"The general arrangement is to first wipe out the sea python and other possible monsters here, and then let us be led by the seventh uncle Li Changzhi, the sixth uncle Li Qingshu, and the seventh uncle Li Qinggui.
Stay here to repair the treasure ship."
Having said this, Li Xuanshan nodded towards the pile of materials next to him:
"Look, Ninth Brother, we have even brought materials that may be used to repair the treasure ship. Of course, these materials are definitely not enough, but the eighth uncle has already started mobilizing resources in Taiqiu Mountain. It is estimated that when our treasure ship repair work officially begins, we will
There will be a steady stream of materials shipped from the family."
After hearing this, Li Xuangang confirmed his suspicion.
Because according to what Uncle Seventeenth Uncle Li Qingshui told him before, the dilapidated treasure ship occupied by the sea python was a medium-sized treasure ship in terms of size.
Even if the sea python and some other possible monsters could be wiped out tomorrow, such a huge treasure ship would not have a large enough storage bag to carry it and transport it back to Taiqiu Mountain in its entirety.
If the family has the refining blueprint of the treasure ship, it can separate its various parts and transport them back to Taiqiu Mountain in batches. But according to the current situation of the family, it is very likely that after being separated, it will never be put back together again.
.
Therefore, the best way to get this treasure ship is to repair it here, and then sail it across the East China Sea and along the Tianhe River back to Mount Taiqiu.
Later, Li Xuangang asked several more questions, and Li Xuanshan answered them one by one.
He didn't stop asking until he understood all the key points of this operation.
He began to recall the details in his mind. After a while, he found that according to the current situation, the fifth uncle's arrangement was the best. Only in this way was it most likely to repair the treasure ship and finally succeed.
Bring it back to the family.
...
Since Li Xuankun and Li Xuanshan had not seen him for many years, they had more things to talk about.
Among them, Li Xuangang didn't have much to talk about himself. He mainly listened to the experiences of his tenth brother Li Xuankun over the years.
Now Li Xuankun has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. From his story, Li Xuangang learned that he had spent most of these years staying at the Lingshan stronghold in the Hengduan Mountains with his fourth uncle Li Qingjing.
Since the Corpse Ghost Sect has completed the relocation of its sect, more and more monks have gathered in the Hengduan Mountains. Although the Xinfang City has not yet been completely built, some places have begun to be put into use.
Due to the convenience of the Lingshan stronghold, the family can send many clan members there to perform various tasks, so in recent years, the Lingshan stronghold has begun to produce something.
While Li Xuangang and the three of them were chatting, on the other side of the cave.
Li Changqing is also talking to Li Changzhi through voice transmission!
"Are you sure?"
Li Changzhi showed a serious expression, thought seriously for a while, and replied:
"If the core of the treasure ship is not damaged, and the damage rate of other major components does not exceed 40%, I should be able to repair it, but it may take a little longer. If the core is damaged, or the damage rate of other major components exceeds
At 40%, I might not be able to do anything."
Speaking of this, Li Changzhi glanced at fifth brother Li Changqing, and then continued:
"If...if this is the case, we may need to find another high-level weapon refiner who has reached at least the fourth level."
After listening, Li Changqing was silent for a while. As the treasure ship was such an important magical weapon for the family, he did not want outsiders to know about it before repairing it. However, if Li Changzhi really couldn't repair it, then he would have to think of other ways.
In short, the final decision can only be made after the specific situation of the treasure ship is known tomorrow.
So after thinking for a while, he continued to speak to Li Changzhi and said:
"I'll check the specific condition of the treasure ship tomorrow. If it can be repaired, it doesn't matter if it takes a longer time. Once the monsters here are cleared, I will set up a third-level high-grade concealment circle here, like this
, as long as we are careful, I believe the outside world will not notice anything strange here during your restoration."
Li Changzhi nodded, feeling that fifth brother Li Changqing was right.
But after he nodded, he seemed to have thought of something again, and his face began to grow heavy again. He hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to speak to Li Changqing and said:
"Fifth Brother... Another thing is that if this treasure ship can be repaired, a large amount of materials will be needed. I went to the warehouse of Shanggong Hall to order low-level spiritual materials because we had previously stored them.
I ordered a batch of iron ore concentrate and copper concentrate, plus some other bits and pieces of materials, so it’s almost enough.”
"But the high-end materials used to repair the treasure ship may still be a bit lacking. Among them, the material gap of the third-order spiritual tree is the largest. There are only four third-order spiritual tree materials in the warehouse of Shanggong Hall."
After listening, Li Changqing frowned, and then said in a deep voice:
"Based on your guess, how much is needed?"
Li Changzhi pondered for a moment:
"At least ten. If the treasure ship has a lot of damage, I'm afraid five more will be needed."
This is not a simple number. Every third-level spiritual tree material is valuable. However, Li Changqing simply thought about it for a while and said in a firm tone:
"In this way, Tomorrow Nagashi, after you carefully inspect the treasure ship, make a list of the required materials for me. If there are gaps in it, I... will find a way to solve it."
Of course Li Changzhi knew that this was not a simple matter, but there was no other way. Since the fifth brother had said so, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
After a period of time, they briefly discussed the arrangements for tomorrow. When the discussion was almost completed, the two looked at each other for a few times and stopped talking.
Because everyone knows in their hearts that tomorrow's battle to annihilate the monsters is not the most difficult, but the follow-up matters of repairing the treasure ship are the most difficult.
Of course, the two brothers also knew that the cost of repairing this treasure ship would be huge, and it might even hinder the current development of the family, but they had to shell out this spiritual stone.
The attraction of a treasure ship is too great. This is a large-scale magic weapon that their Taiqiu Mountain clan has never obtained in hundreds of years!
If we push forward two hundred years, Li Changqing, the peak foundation-building monk, has not yet appeared in Taiqiu Mountain. Before there were nine foundation-building monks from three generations, the entire Li family in Taiqiu Mountain did not even think about their own family.
One day it will be possible to own a Tier 4 treasure ship.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was already the second day.
The third-level peak sea python that was practicing in the cave today was a little uneasy. It always felt that something bad would happen today.
But it doesn't know where this uneasiness comes from, which makes it feel a little irritable.
In fact, if it weren't for the white mist exhaled by the jellyfish, it would have already detected the auras of the Li family members.
But the white mist is not something it can control. Just like outside monks cannot detect the situation here, this sea python cannot directly detect the situation outside here.
And just when the sea python was wondering whether he should go out to see if anything was going on, everyone in the Li family had already arrived in front of the hidden island. They were just waiting for the order from the leader Li Changqing.
