Tier Three Treasure Boat
Hearing his choice, Jiang Linglong smiled slightly.
"You made the right choice. Although the medium-sized spirit boat is slower, its role and combat power are far superior to those of the small spirit boat. It may even play a significant role in the future Beast Turmoil."
"That puts my mind at ease." Chen Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "I wonder what other materials are needed to forge this medium-sized spirit boat?"
"The materials are readily available. There is a Azure Goldwood Grove in the Yi-Wood Earth Vein. The Azure Goldwood is tough yet very lightweight, making it an excellent tree for crafting spirit boats."
Jiang Linglong did some calculations and told Chen Nianzhi that it would take about thirty Tier 2 Azure Goldwood to forge a medium-sized spirit boat.
Thirty plants?
Chen Nianzhi felt a chill run down his spine. Tier 2 Azure Goldwood was extremely valuable; thirty pieces of Azure Goldwood could be used to refine thirty Tier 2 Magical Tool.
Even at the price of 600 Spirit Stone per raw material, these 30 Azure Goldwood would cost 18,000 Spirit Stone.
"Are you having trouble finding Spirit Stone?" Jiang Linglong immediately noticed his worry. Her bright eyes stared intently at him as she said earnestly, "You're not without something to pay this debt."
"Take something... to settle the debt?"
Chen Nianzhi looked at her and inexplicably felt that something was wrong with her. Could it be that she was craving something...?
Seeing his somewhat bewildered expression, Jiang Linglong chuckled and continued.
"Of course it can be used to offset the debt. Doesn't your Chen Clan own a Darksteel Ore Vein?"
"I happen to need a large amount of Mystic Iron. If you bring 30,000 catties of Mystic Iron, it will be enough to offset 30 stalks of Azure Goldwood."
Chen Nianzhi: "..."
He realized that he had been teased by Jiang Linglong, so he could only continue the conversation.
"I can agree to this, but our Chen Clan doesn't have enough of this Mystic Iron. It will take us more than ten years to gather 30,000 jin."
After killing the Gold-Eating Beast, the Chen Clan obtained more than 20,000 catties of Mystic Iron from the Gold-Eating Beast clan.
In order to advance to the Jiuyi Bell, the Old Clan Leader spent two thousand catties of Xuan Mystic Iron and the inner core of the Gold-Eating Beast. In the past few years, Chen Nianzhi used it to improve his Artifact Refining Art and formations, repeatedly smelting Mystic Iron to forge second- Tier 2 Magical Tool more than twenty times, consuming about six thousand catties of Mystic Iron.
The remaining Mystic Iron was only a little over 14,000 jin, but about 1,000 jin of Mystic Iron had been mined each year for the past five years, so the Chen Clan had now accumulated nearly 20,000 jin of Mystic Iron.
They can still dig out about 1,000 catties of Mystic Iron every year, but it will probably take about ten years to collect 30,000 catties of Mystic Iron.
Upon hearing the quantity he mentioned, Jiang Linglong nodded and said, "Send over the 20,000 Mystic Iron first, and make sure the remaining 10,000 Mystic Iron arrives before the Beast Turmoil."
"Don't worry about this. I'll take care of it when I get back."
Hearing her say that, Chen Nianzhi roughly understood that these Mystic Iron were mostly a backup plan to deal with the Beast Turmoil.
Since it concerned the Beast Turmoil, he naturally wouldn't delay and had essentially made a pledge.
Having decided to forge a medium-sized spirit boat, Jiang Linglong didn't delay. She went directly to the Yi-Wood Earth Vein, cut down thirty Azure Goldwood, and then flew back on her sword.
However, there were only about a hundred mature Tier 2 spirit trees in the Azure Goldwood Grove. Thirty of them had already been cut down by Jiang Linglong, and now another thirty had been cut down. There were not many Tier 2 spirit trees left.
Jiang Linglong returned to Heavenly Ruins Mountain with the Azure Goldwood and began refining a medium-sized spirit boat without delay. Chen Nianzhi once again watched from the sidelines.
Crafting a medium-sized spirit boat is a time-consuming and laborious task, almost equivalent to a collection of dozens of Law Artifact. Even with Jiang Linglong's Law Power, it still took her two months to successfully craft it.
After infusing the last Five Elements Essence into it, Jiang Linglong breathed a slight sigh of relief and took out a three-inch-sized spirit boat.
She handed it to Chen Nianzhi, smiling as she spoke.
"Once this boat is activated, it will be ten zhang long. Not only does it retain the Thunderclap Lightning Escape, but I have also burned three array formations into it."
"These three formations are the Origin-Gathering Unity Formation, the Six-Directions Divine-Guarding Formation, and the Seven-Star Demon-Slaying Sword Formation."
After listening to her explanation, Chen Nianzhi quickly understood the wonderful use of this third-tier treasure boat.
These three formations are all low-grade third-tier formations. Among them, the Origin-Gathering Unity Formation is the energy core of this formation and the foundation upon which this treasure ship exerts its combat power.
Once the Spiritual Qi of this formation is fully utilized, this medium-sized treasure ship can travel a million miles or withstand a high-intensity battle. When the Spiritual Qi of the Origin-Gathering Unity Formation is exhausted, Spirit Stone and Law Power can be used to recharge the ship.
The Six-Directions Divine-Guarding Formation is the defensive formation of the treasure ship. Once activated, it is even sufficient to temporarily block the attack of Mid-Purple Mansion realm Demon Beast.
The Seven-Star Demon-Slaying Sword Formation is the only killing formation on the treasure ship. This formation requires seven Foundation Establishment cultivators to activate, and once activated, it will unleash a Demon-Slaying Sword Aura.
This Demon-Slaying Sword Aura Qi is extremely Bu Fan, equivalent to the full-force attack of Mid-Purple Mansion realm cultivator. If used properly, it could even kill Demon Beast at the Early Purple Mansion realm.
Unfortunately, the Demon-Slaying Sword Aura consumed too much energy; even with the power of this treasure ship, it could only sustain one strike.
"This item is truly remarkable."
"Since this ship is renowned for its Seven-Star Demon-Slaying Sword Formation, let it be called the Seven-Star Demon-Slaying Ark."
Chen Nianzhi stroked the treasure boat, saying with obvious affection.
The combat power brought by such a treasure ship is Bu Fan. If seven Foundation Establishment could be gathered, it would be almost equivalent to adding the combat power of an Early Purple Mansion realm.
Jiang Linglong smiled slightly, "Don't make a fuss about this yet. When the Beast Turmoil attack, we might be able to catch them off guard."
"Yes, I understand."
Chen Nianzhi put away the treasure boat and suppressed her joy.
After finishing their business, the two suddenly fell silent. Jiang Linglong looked at him for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
"Walk with me for a while."
"..."
This weapon forging took more than two months, and before we knew it, the Eastern Wilderness had entered the deep winter season.
In this vast Great Wilderness, a heavy snow began to fall, and the boundless world was already covered in silver.
The two walked silently through the heavy snow, admiring the rare snow scene. After an unknown amount of time, they stopped at the edge of a cliff.
Jiang Linglong, holding a paper umbrella, stood quietly at the edge of the cliff and suddenly spoke.
Do you know how Qing Ji died?
"Qing Ji?"
Chen Nianzhi frowned, quickly realizing that the Qing Ji she was referring to was the creator of the Ren-Water Azure Lotus Scripture.
Before he could answer, she continued, "The overlords of the East Sea Shore, the Rama Island Liu Clan."
"Our enemy is more powerful than you imagine."
Chen Nianzhi was suddenly struck by a sudden realization and asked a question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time, "Why do you treat me so specially and think so highly of me?"
