Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh righteousness and awe-inspiring Li Xuanting
The midday sun above the sea always looks particularly hot, and the bright light seems to illuminate the entire East China Sea.
Under such sunshine, the treasure ship of the Taiqiu Li family was finally repaired successfully.
As a fourth-level array master, Li Changqing has arranged a total of four main arrays and 364 auxiliary arrays on it.
The four main arrays are: one defensive array and three offensive arrays.
Among them, the defensive array has reached the third-level high-grade, one offensive array has reached the fourth-level low-level, and the remaining two offensive arrays have reached the third-level mid-level.
...
For ordinary medium-sized treasure ships, in addition to the hundreds of auxiliary arrays, the main arrays arranged on the hull are generally of third level, and the number will not exceed three.
However, because the Li family's treasure ship was originally in good condition, with top materials used in many places, and during the subsequent repair process, the third- and fourth-level spiritual trees that Li Xuangang brought back from the Ten Thousand Stars Islands,
Therefore, the hull of the Li family's treasure ship is stronger than treasure ships of the same level.
The strength of the hull means that it can withstand higher-level magic circles and a larger number of magic circles.
As a fourth-level formation mage with good formation cultivation, Li Changqing finally chose these four main formations after careful weighing based on the family's existing formation diagrams and the maximum endurance limit of the treasure ship's hull.
The array is arranged.
Of course, arranging these four main magic circles and the more than 300 subsidiary magic circles on the treasure ship also consumed a huge amount of the Li family's resources.
...
...
When the treasure ship was launched and sailed from this bay to the East China Sea, Li Xuangang, Li Changqing, and Li Changzhi were discussing various situations of the treasure ship in a room on the top floor of the treasure ship.
The entire treasure ship is temporarily controlled by Li Qingshu using the control token.
Li Xuangang looked through a window in the room at the islands receding behind him, and found that the white mist exhaled by the jellyfish and clams had almost dissipated.
If this continues, since all the jellyfish and clams in the bay have been taken away by them and the white mist cannot be replenished, the smaller island between the three islands will soon be discovered by the outside world.
It will no longer be a hidden place in the East China Sea.
When he looked away, turned around, and sat down on a wooden chair, seventh uncle Li Changzhi looked at him, and then said to Li Changqing:
"Fifth brother, this treasure ship is about forty-three feet long and eighteen feet wide. It has four floors in total, three above the water and one below."
"But the floor we are on right now is the third floor of the treasure ship. The space on this floor is relatively small and there is no warehouse for shipping resources. It is probably only for monks to live."
"After you, Fifth Brother, completed the layout of the magic array on the ship, the entire treasure ship has only reached the fourth-order low-grade level. Due to the insufficient skills of Qingshu and I, we were unable to restore it to the original fourth-order mid-grade."
Li Changzhi's words were filled with guilt, but Li Changqing did not show any disappointment. He just said lightly:
"It doesn't matter, we have expected this result before... Well, if the family has a fourth-level weapon refiner in the future, we can refine this treasure ship again."
Seeing that Fifth Brother didn't pay too much attention, Li Changzhi continued after a short silence:
"The treasure ship has a total of 153 passenger cabins, 205 cargo cabins, three control cabins, three power cabins, and a total of 33 other cabins."
"As for the dark layer of the treasure ship, I set it between the first and second floors. If I want to fully open the four main magic circles, I estimate that at least four to six family foundation-building elders and forty people will be needed.
The tribesmen in the late stage of Qi Refining on the left and right."
"Well... under full force, this treasure ship should be able to deal with a fourth-level low-grade monster. If it is a fourth-order mid-grade monster, escaping from its hands should not be a big problem."
After giving a brief introduction to the treasure ship, and some speculation about the strength of the treasure ship, Li Changzhi stopped and waited for fifth brother Li Changqing's opinion.
Since Li Xuangang did not participate in the repair of the treasure ship in the whole process, and he was not an array master or an weapon refiner, he sat aside and listened quietly at this time.
After a moment of silence, Li Changqing spoke:
“What happened to those troughs used to raise jellyfish?”
Li Changzhi's mood became a little higher when he mentioned the jellyfish, and he replied in a slightly hasty tone:
"Don't worry, Fifth Brother, there is nothing wrong with those hidden slots. Although after adding them, the hull is now a little wider than before, and the speed will be affected to some extent, but the impact will not be great."
"Also, I have put some of those jellyfish into the dark tank a few days ago. I took a look today. There should be no problem with their survival. I just want them to secrete the white mist completely under our control. There may be some problems.
It’s difficult, and it will probably take a long time to tame it later.”
Hearing this, Li Xuangang suddenly understood the purpose of the jellyfish and clams that Seventh Uncle and the others had wanted to collect before.
Li Changzhi hadn't finished speaking yet, so he continued:
"But according to my estimation, if we want to hide the entire treasure ship, we won't need so many mirage clams. We can take some of them back to the family and raise them, and later use them as materials for refining or as spiritual beasts.
Whether it’s selling it or not, it’s all possible.”
Li Changqing pondered for a while, and finally nodded, agreeing with what Li Changzhi said.
After that, the three of them talked about some other matters about the treasure ship, but the final decision could not be made until they returned to Mount Taiqiu and had detailed discussions with their eighth uncle Li Changji.
As the night grew dark, Li Xuangang and Li Changzhi left the room.
Li Changqing got up from the wooden chair alone, walked by the window, looking at the starry night outside with a watery face.
The first treasure ship in Taiqiu Mountain has finally been restored!
...
At the same time, under the same starry sky, Li Xuangang and Li Xuanting stood at the stern of the treasure ship, quietly looking at the water splashing on the sea as the treasure ship galloped in front of them.
This fourth-level low-grade treasure ship moves very fast, even traveling on the sea at a speed that exceeds the escape speed of the Haiji flying boat.
This made Li Xuanting a little excited when he boarded the treasure ship for the first time.
However, because Li Xuangang had stayed on Lian Chenglin's fourth-level treasure ship for a long time and had seen even more terrifying movement speeds, he seemed very indifferent at the moment.
After a while, looking forward, he asked casually:
"Xuan Ting, has the matter about puppetry been decided?"
Li Xuanting turned his head, looked at Li Xuangang's side face, and softly said "um".
Li Xuangang, on the other hand, said with a little doubt in his tone:
"You have to know that there is no inheritance in the puppet family, nor any experience. If you study this way, you are likely to fail, and even if you succeed... it will also waste a lot of your training time.
.”
Turning his head, he looked at Li Xuanting with sharp eyes:
"Xuan Ting, your remaining lifespan cannot support such squandering."
Li Xuanting fell silent and looked at the ninth brother Li Xuangang in front of him, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
He knew that what Ninth Brother Li Xuangang said was true, but...
Seeing that he was silent, Li Xuangang reached out and patted his shoulder, turned around and left, and said:
"Practice with peace of mind and enter the ninth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible. There will be dozens of years to come, so there may not be any chance of entering the foundation-building realm."
After saying that, he walked away, and Li Xuanting's figure behind him gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Just when Li Xuangang was about to turn the corner and board the gangway to leave completely, Li Xuanting called out "Brother Ninth."
So the latter stopped at the corner and turned to look at him. Li Xuanting on the opposite side paused for a moment, and then said in a deep voice with an extremely serious tone:
"I want to try it!"
Li Xuangang was stunned for a moment. He had never thought that this clan brother would have such great courage in puppetry, and he would even risk his own future on it.
At this moment, he was suddenly curious about what Yu Heng said to him in the library.
Seeing that Ninth Brother Li Xuangang didn't answer, Li Xuanting felt a little uneasy. Then he saw the former turn around, lift his feet and leave from the corner. After boarding the gangway, his figure completely disappeared from his sight.
Li Xuanting felt a little regretful about this, and his eyes became lonely, but when he was about to turn around and leave, a voice suddenly entered his ears:
"Since you are willing to give it a try, then...I will go and talk to my eighth uncle for you."
"But... I hope you won't let the family down when the time comes!"
Li Xuanting stopped, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and there was some twinkling light in his eyes where he was looking.
...
After nearly a month of sailing, the Li family's treasure ship finally appeared at the port of Binhaifang City.
Before the monks there could even come and marvel, the treasure ship immediately set off from the mouth of the Tianhe River, sailed upriver, and sailed all the way to Tianhefang City.
When the Li family's treasure ship appeared at the port of Tianhefang City again and anchored here, the entire Tianhefang City was boiling.
Countless casual cultivators staying at the port to transport goods began to discuss:
"When did the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain get a treasure ship?"
"This pressure has probably exceeded the third level."
"These families that have been passed down for hundreds of years are really scary."
"Eh... Is that the new Jindan Master Li Changqing?"
