Chapter 704

Rippling pool water, vast river wind.

At the water-land meeting of the Jishui Pool in the capital, merchant ships and pleasure boats avoided it one after another, fearing to bump into the treasure ship in the river.

The common people found it novel at first, but soon scattered in twos and threes.

The treasure ship.

It's not that they haven't seen it.

Splash!

Water splashed, scaring away the small fish on the shore.

The boatmen dropped the anchor, docked the boat, and the hull faced Liang Qu's backyard.

"Master Liang, please." Eunuch Li leaped onto the shore, his arm draped with a whisk, and bowed to lead the way.

"This ship..."

Liang Qu was amazed. He didn't advance but retreated, stepped back more than ten steps, looked up to view it, and looked at it repeatedly.

At first glance, the whole treasure ship didn't look strange except for the color. The appearance was similar to the Fuchuan ship style in Liang Qu's hometown, just a circle larger. There was a two-story small building in the center of the deck, totaling more than twelve zhang, twice as large.

But once close, a sense of disharmony would arise, and one could realize the difference between this treasure ship and ordinary wooden ships.

The entire front belly of the big ship didn't have a single wooden seam!

Liang Qu had several boats in his hands. Not to mention the boat model for the big toad, he had two large boats that could sail, and he knew the most critical step in shipbuilding—caulking!

Caulking, caulking.

First, there must be a seam to caulk.

This is the unique craft of shipwrights, used for waterproofing. If the seam is not caulked well, no matter how good the ship is, it will sink as soon as it enters the water.

Liang Qu guessed something in his heart, jumped onto the deck with his senior brother and senior sister, and the sensory impact was even more intense.

The waxed deck flowed with light, and the unique jade green color looked like a clear pool of water.

Looking around, for a moment, he couldn't tell which was the water surface and which was the ship surface!

This was not a wooden-spliced ship in the ordinary sense at all, but a "dugout canoe"!

The rich woody fragrance was refreshing, exuding high-quality water sandalwood.

The little Xiao Xiao Shenlong couldn't wait to fly into the ship and shuttled through it, disappearing.

The whole family of otters lay down, their fur spread out, their small black noses constantly twitching, sticking to the smooth deck and moving easily, greedily sucking.

Good ship.

Good ship!

Fragrant!

"If it bumps or hits, there are no wooden boards to replace. How should it be repaired? How ugly would it be to nail two wooden boards?"

Xu Xu Zishuai squatted on the ground and sniffed, stroked it with his palm, and then used his fingernails to scrape it, trying to find the "gaps" invisible to the naked eye, all of which ended in failure.

It really wasn't spliced; it was cut out with a plane, one plane after another. Without some skills, it would be hard to say whether ordinary boatmen could stand firm on a rainy day.

"No need to repair." Lu Gang stroked the railing and clearly realized the "spirituality" in the treasure ship, "Spirit artifacts will repair themselves. If there are corresponding woods, they will grow flesh and blood like humans to fill the wounds."

"Such a big ship, is it a spirit artifact?"

Xiang Xiang Zhangsong was shocked and speechless, sticking to the ship to feel it carefully.

Lu Gang nodded: "It can't be fake. It's easier to shape spirits for wood-attribute spirit artifacts, and under the heavens, only our dynasty has the means to shape spirits on large objects."

Everyone marveled.

The capital is worthy of being the most prosperous place in the world. It really is an eye-opener.

Eunuch Li smiled and said: "Master Liang has been to the Wangyue Tower and knows what the Yin-Yang Creation Divine Wood is.

At present, the entire treasure ship, except for individual places, such as railings and furniture, which use ordinary wood, is made of small creation wood.

When sailing to wide rivers, the treasure ship can absorb the essence of the sun and moon to accelerate sailing, traveling day and night, and because it has spirituality, it doesn't need too many boatmen."

Liang Qu thought of the cultivation room in the Wangyue Tower, and a flash of inspiration came to him.

"If it's not sailing, can the absorbed sun and moon essence help with cultivation?"

"Indeed. If it's not used to assist sailing, the treasure ship will store the sun and moon essence itself. Therefore, there is an independent cultivation quiet room in the ship. Although it doesn't have the miraculous effects of the training room in the Wangyue Tower, it wins because no one competes for it, which is precious."

Solar energy, lunar energy!

And not using it is equivalent to bringing your own "blessed land and cave heaven" to help with cultivation!

Awesome!

Being an instructor is worth it.

However, the whole ship was brand new, not like second-hand goods. Liang Qu had reason to suspect that the imperial court had intended to give it before, but it was built two days late, and they found such a joking reason.

Then he followed Eunuch Li into the interior of the cabin to observe.

The quiet room was not big, barely five or six square meters, a rectangle, a circle larger than a single bed, enough for one person to lie down and sleep comfortably. On the side, there was a small square window, made of unknown materials, with good light and sound insulation. Against the wall was a one-foot-five hinged narrow table, with a niche above it, divided into a three-layer bookshelf.

In addition, there was a fixed incense burner rack, two small drawers, and secret compartments in the drawers. The special wooden box would automatically lock when slid in, and it needed to be pushed to the end before it could be pulled out.

Small as it is, it has all the internal organs.

And the most peculiar thing was the wonderful patterns slightly protruding in the room, like countless tentacles, crossing and swirling to the meditation cushion in the center.

Liang Qu realized the extraordinary as soon as he came in, and looked at Eunuch Li.

Eunuch Li stepped back a few steps.

"Master might as well try."

He didn't be polite.

Liang Qu sat on the central meditation cushion and closed his eyes to feel.

After a while.

In the pitch-black room, points of essence light seemed to drift out, especially under his body. His spiritual thoughts captured the light points and threw them into the Heavenly Dragon.

The essence light dissipated.

The supernatural seed seemed to have absorbed the sweet spring, and its light brightened slightly, almost imperceptibly.

It works!

Liang Qu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Since it is a "seed."

Naturally, it is divided into large, small, good, bad, superior, and inferior.

Some people can even conceive a "small seedling" before the seed turns into a real supernatural "big tree," and they are much stronger than others when fighting in the same realm.

It's just a pity.

The treasure ship is too new, or it has always been parked in the dock, and has never been to a wide place, so the sun and moon essence stored in the room is scarce.

After absorbing it all, the supernatural seed of the Dragon-Tiger Golden Body didn't change much.

Better than nothing.

But involving the wonder of supernatural powers, having it is much better than not having it.

Accumulating day by day and month by month.

The cultivation room of the Wangyue Tower needs to be exchanged with great merits, and it is not enough to use every year. Although his is a low-profile version of inferior quality, it is something he can enjoy alone all year round.

"There is an upper limit to the storage in the ship, roughly two to three months. If it exceeds this number, it will dissipate itself. Master, remember not to waste it. If there is something, you can also give it to relatives and friends."

"There is a double secret cabin in the deepest part of the bottom hold, which has the ability to isolate aura..."

"Behind the bookshelf..."

"There are three pieces of small creation wood in the bottom hold, left to fill the gaps in the future."

"This is an ice cellar, not yet equipped with ice materials, Master needs to purchase it yourself..."

Sending 200 taels of silver notes as a reward, Eunuch Li explained the secret rooms and secret compartments on the ship completely, didn't disturb him, and said goodbye.

"Hoo!"

Liang Qu looked at the Jishui Pool and spat out a white mist leisurely.

Refreshed!

The little Xiao Xiao Shenlong and Bai Awei flew around, and the fat catfish's long whiskers rubbed against the ship's belly, making a creaking sound.

The little otters stuck their butts out, their chest fur sticking to the ground, and their legs kicked and rubbed back and forth, leaving their scent marks on the new ship.

"Third senior brother, how much is the whole ship?" Liang Qu asked.

"Priceless, money can't buy it." Lu Gang shook his head, "Small creation wood only grows in the cold north and on the Tianshan Mountains. It is a mysterious tree species monopolized by the imperial court. You will never see the whole tree sold in the market. Only when a family is in decline will there be sporadic wood sold, but it is still very rare, basically used for rewarding meritorious officials."

"Face, majestic, dragon-blood horse on land, big treasure ship in water, His Majesty has arranged everything!" Xu Xu Zishuai looked at the capital and patted the railing.

"This instructor is worth it! It's a pity that senior brother has no goods in his stomach, otherwise I would have written a poem today!"

"Pick a room, pick a room! We were in a hurry when we came, we must take a good look at the scenery on both sides when we go back."

"Liang Ashui, when are we leaving? I'll pack up my things in advance." Hu Qi asked.

"After the 15th, let's stay for a few more days."
