Chapter 243: The ship is finished

Seeing a third-grade alchemist walk in, everyone inside was shocked and didn't dare to be slow, hurriedly calling out the steward inside.

Hearing that a third-grade alchemist had come to the door, the steward showed surprise and immediately ran out to greet him.

"My lord, are you here to build a large ship? Rest assured, my Mo Clan has the strongest shipbuilding technology in Xinghai City. I guarantee you will be satisfied with the ship built by my Mo Clan!"

The old steward with the aura of a Spirit-Sea peak bowed respectfully to the third-grade alchemist in front of him.

"I have a few blueprints here. How long will it take for your Mo Clan to build the things on the blueprints?"

Long Xuan handed the four blueprints to the old steward in front of him.

The old steward hurriedly took them with both hands, scanned the four blueprints quickly, and soon showed a puzzled look.

Because on one of the blueprints, a strange flower was drawn, and the petals were curved.

There was also a blueprint drawing a huge chimney. They weren't responsible for building houses here.

What kind of strange things were drawn on these blueprints? Are you sure this is shipbuilding? Are you not making fun of him?

But of course, he didn't dare to say these words in his heart. He didn't dare to offend a third-grade alchemist.

He didn't dare to ask what this third-grade alchemist wanted to do with these strange things, so as not to be talkative and anger this big shot.

He still knew what should be asked and what shouldn't be asked.

"My Mo Clan can manufacture the things on the blueprints, and in the case of rushing the work, it can be completed within two months."

"However, I don't know what material you want to use? This flower seems a bit big. Using too precious materials for such an ornament is probably too extravagant."

The old steward pointed to the propeller drawn on the blueprint.

Hearing this, Long Xuan knew that this person had mistaken the propeller he drew for a flower, and couldn't help but find it a bit funny in his heart.

"Hmm! I want three of these flowers. As for the material, use Black Iron for everything. It's all in the storage bag, don't save it for me."

After the words fell, Long Xuan threw a storage bag into the old steward's hand.

The upper limit of the propeller's rotation speed in this world was simply too fast, so it must use the strongest material.

And the strongest material in the Gu World was naturally Geng Metal.

Unfortunately, even if he had massive amounts of Geng Metal in his hands, he couldn't afford three huge propellers at all, so he could only settle for the next best thing and use Black Iron, which was much less hard. This was also something that couldn't be helped.

Such a large amount of Black Iron was also traded from that trading session with massive amounts of Spirit-Gathering Pills.

And his move scared the old steward silly.

Did he hear it right! He actually wanted to use precious Black Iron to build such a big flower.

Was he crazy? Even if there was a lot of Black Iron, it shouldn't be used like this, right? It was simply too extravagant. The old steward was completely scared.

Was this the net worth of a third-grade alchemist? He had finally seen it today. He actually used even Black Iron as an ornament. It was simply too wasteful; it was simply a waste of heaven's gifts.

His fingers trembled as he opened the storage bag. When he saw the things inside, his legs went soft, and he almost slumped to the ground.

Inside, there was not only massive amounts of Black Iron but also massive amounts of Secret Silver. All kinds of precious materials simply dazzled his eyes. These were all rare materials in the Gu World. This person actually had so many.

At this moment, he was deeply convinced of the identity of this person as a third-grade alchemist. Presumably, only a third-grade alchemist could have such terrifying financial resources.

"That chimney, do you want to use Secret Silver to build it?" The old steward asked tentatively.

Long Xuan immediately understood that he had mistaken the cannon barrel for a chimney again. Whether it was the previous life or this life, the requirements for materials for cannon barrels were extremely high.

Fortunately, the Secret Silver he had was ten times more than Geng Metal, which could fully afford the consumption of a huge cannon barrel. Those Secret Silvers were all obtained by him for free, so he didn't feel heartache at all when using them.

However, since this old steward misunderstood, he was too lazy to explain and just dealt with it casually: "That's right, my chimney must be built with Secret Silver. Tell me the cost."

Hearing this, the old steward and the group of shipbuilders in the room twitched their mouths non-stop.

A broken chimney actually had to be built with precious Secret Silver. Everyone was shocked. They had seen wasteful people, but when had they ever seen such a wasteful person?

Using Black Iron as an ornament, using Secret Silver as a chimney—it was simply an ancient wonder, unheard of!

Even the Multi-Treasure Merchant of the Qian Clan wasn't as overbearing as him, right? The old steward was completely messy.

However, no matter how strange this third-grade alchemist's request was, he could only satisfy it.

The old steward took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his frightened little heart, and finally said: "If it's an urgent order, it's one million spirit stones. You need to pay half the deposit first. If it's not urgent, it's..."

"Let's make it an urgent order!" Long Xuan immediately interrupted his words and then poured out a pile of spirit stones on the ground.

At the same time, he sighed inwardly that the price was really expensive enough.

It should be known that they were only responsible for a small part of the parts. Just doing a small part of the parts was so expensive. If all the parts were made, wouldn't the price break through to the sky?

However, problems that could be solved with spirit stones were not problems for him.

He had just accepted a large order for Spirit-Gathering Pills. These spirit stones were just drizzle to him.

He only hoped that the parts would be made as quickly as possible, so as not to delay his time to go to sea.

"Keep the spirit stones well. I will come to collect these things in two months. I think you wouldn't be bold enough to embezzle my things, right?" Long Xuan's tone suddenly changed, and he looked at this old steward with sharp eyes.

At the same time, he secretly opened a small slit in the insect-raising bag to let the Honesty Gu inside get some air.

"How could that be? My lord, please rest assured. The reputation of my Mo Clan is guaranteed. If you don't believe me, go ask the people in the city about their evaluation of my Mo Clan. We have never done anything like bullying customers because of our big store."

"Even if we really had that heart, I'm afraid we wouldn't have the guts to embezzle a third-grade alchemist's things." The old steward hurriedly patted his chest to guarantee.

Seeing that the Honesty Gu in the insect-raising bag had no reaction, Long Xuan nodded and finally walked toward the door.

"My lord, walk slowly!"

The group of Mo Clan Gu Masters behind him hurriedly went out to see him off...

Next, Long Xuan walked through the shipyards of each clan in the same way, left the blueprints, paid the deposit, and left. Until he walked to the last shipyard, he couldn't help but be stunned.

This shipyard was relatively deserted and actually only had one person, an old woman leaning on a cane, sitting on a chair reading a book.

He only had the cabin left that no one had taken over. The workload of the cabin was huge. Could this shipyard really handle it?

"Old lady, is this shipyard on holiday today?" Long Xuan walked over and asked.

He decided to ask about the situation first. In novels, the stranger the shop, the more extraordinary it often was. One might even be able to obtain unimaginable opportunities inside.

That old woman looked up at him indifferently, completely without the awe-filled eyes that the heads of other shipyards had when looking at a third-grade alchemist.

"There are no other shipbuilders here, just this old woman, but my shipbuilding speed is faster than all shipyards."

"Other shipyards need several years to build a large ship, but this old woman only needs half a year alone." She held up a finger.

As soon as her voice fell, a passerby sneered: "Old lady, are you blowing your own trumpet?"

"Hahaha..." The crowd burst into laughter.

Only Long Xuan didn't laugh, because that Honesty Gu rarely didn't get furious.

This meant that this old woman wasn't blowing her own trumpet; her shipbuilding speed was really faster than all shipyards.

Long Xuan was completely shocked. How many people did other large shipyards use to build a ship? A large ship might need hundreds of shipbuilders to rush work at the same time to have a possibility of completing it in several years.

And this old woman could actually equal hundreds, and could be faster. Long Xuan was really shocked. What kind of hand speed was this?

"Then how is the quality? Shipbuilding can't just have speed." Long Xuan asked again.

"This old woman doesn't dare to boast. My shipbuilding technology only dares to be called the first here, so the quality is still acceptable."

As soon as her voice fell, another passerby laughed: "Whether your shipbuilding technology is the first here, I don't know, but your level of blowing your own trumpet is definitely the first in the world!"

"Hahaha..." The crowd was another burst of laughter.

Long Xuan was shocked again. The Honesty Gu actually had no reaction. Was this old woman really that awesome? Are you sure this old lady leaning on a cane can lift a hammer? This doesn't conform to common sense.

If there was no Honesty Gu today, Long Xuan dared to be sure that he would have been blown away by her long ago.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Long Xuan decided to hand over the cabin to this person to build, ignored the confusion of the people around, and walked in.

That old woman finally didn't sit outside to bask in the sun, leaned on her cane, bent over, and walked in.

"These are the blueprints. How long will it take you to build these things?"

Long Xuan handed the blueprints to her and asked.

The old woman took them, scanned them a few times, and showed a look of disdain: "No array patterns, no technical content at all. I will be enough to complete it in half a month. Come and take it in half a month."

"As for the remuneration, just give two million spirit stones. Payment on delivery."

Long Xuan nodded, said no more, turned, and walked out.

Looking at his departing back, the old woman hooked a mysterious smile.

"Old friend, we meet again. Looking at your captain's room design structure, your ship seems to have many power systems."

"Do you want to build the fastest ship in this world? You are still as afraid of death as ever..."

After returning to the cave abode, Long Xuan began to get busy again. He still had many things to do.

He needed to immediately find a place to refine the Soul-Reviving Pill.

The clones needed to rush work to complete those orders, and also needed to assist him in refining the Five Elements Reversal Great Formation array disk. The workload was really not small, and it also needed a lot of time.

By the time these things were done, those parts would all be completed by the major shipyards.

He still had to continue to piece these parts into the Divine Dragon Ship and finally complete the drawing of the array formations. The workload was even greater.

Just like this, time flew by, and a year passed. In this year, Long Xuan undoubtedly successfully refined the Soul-Reviving Pill.

In view of what happened before, he was afraid that the anomaly caused by alchemy would attract other Gu Masters, so he chose the alchemy location on an uninhabited isolated island.

There were many Gu Masters on land, but few Gu Masters who could build ships to go to sea. Even if the range of the anomaly was large, it was difficult to attract a ship.

The anomaly triggered this time finally didn't attract others, and there were no accidents when returning. Things were unexpectedly smooth.

After returning, he immediately swallowed the Soul-Reviving Pill. After closing for a period of time, he successfully completed the repair of his soul.

After the soul repair was successful, he couldn't wait to start going to the major shipyards to collect all the parts, and in the natural lake in the World Tree seed, he and a group of clones enthusiastically assembled the Divine Dragon Ship. Everyone was very interested and full of expectations for the upcoming Divine Dragon Ship.

It was fortunate that his World Tree seed was large enough to hold a large ship and allowed people to go in to complete the construction; otherwise, he really couldn't find a suitable shipbuilding location.

On this day, a domineering Divine Dragon Ship was finally completed inside the World Tree seed.

The Divine Dragon Ship had three sails, divided into the largest main sail in the middle, and the smaller front and rear sails.

Three huge propellers were at the stern of the ship, which were out of place with this world.

There was a three-story small building on the deck, which didn't take up much space, but counting the various cabins under the deck, it was more than enough for one hundred people to live in.

The bow of the ship was a metal dragon head. Not far behind the dragon head was a giant cannon with an astonishing volume, and its power remained to be verified.

Long Xuan named this giant cannon the Five Elements Giant Cannon. The Five Elements Giant Cannon needed spirit stones of five attributes. Using the principle of mutual generation and mutual destruction of the five energies, it produced a super-high destructive power that was far greater than the sum of five.

Long Xuan's cultivation method was based on the five elements cycle, and he was too familiar with such attack means, so the giant cannon that used the fusion of five elements energy to produce explosions came into being in his hands.

The Five Elements Giant Cannon was divided into four gears.

Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones of each of the five attributes were one gear.

One thousand medium-grade spirit stones of each of the five attributes were one gear.

One hundred upper-grade spirit stones of each of the five attributes were one gear.

One top-grade spirit stone of each of the five attributes was one gear.

The low-grade spirit stone gear had the weakest power. Firing one shot required a total of fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones.

The top-grade spirit stone gear had the strongest power. Firing one shot required a total of five top-grade spirit stones.

This was simply burning money. An ordinary scattered cultivator would probably go bankrupt just by firing one shot.

Finally, Long Xuan personally designed a ship flag embroidered with a five-clawed divine dragon and hung it at the highest point. This Divine Dragon Ship was finally completed by him.

Long Xuan crossed his arms and looked at his masterpiece of a year of hard work with satisfaction. A sense of achievement arose spontaneously.

This ship was far from the largest in this world, but it used many of the most advanced technologies in this world, far ahead of the whole world.

Not to mention other aspects, just in terms of speed, his Divine Dragon Ship was definitely the fastest in this world.

Because his Divine Dragon Ship had a full twenty power systems. In addition to biological ship pulling, his ship used all known power in this world.

Except for his Divine Dragon Ship, no ship in this world dared to play like this.

Don't look at the fact that larger ships can engrave more array patterns, but larger ships have greater weight and require more power. Larger ships don't necessarily mean faster speed.

Long Xuan walked around on the Divine Dragon Ship and appreciated it for a long time before finally leaving the World Tree seed and walking toward Xinghai City.

Originally, he wanted to go to the port to recruit crew members and set off on the trip to the Sky Island immediately.

But the pill shop sent a message saying that a guest had important materials needed for refining the Three-Legged Golden Toad, but requested that the main body go over to talk to him in person. Obviously, this person had already seen through the fact that Long Xuan in the pill shop was a clone.

Long Xuan showed a solemn look. Someone who could see through his clone was not simple. He was confident that there were really not many people in the entire Gu World who could see through his clone.

Arriving at the pill shop, Long Xuan immediately saw a burly man with somewhat sloppy clothes, with a scar on his face, sitting on a chair with his eyes closed to rest. After noticing someone coming in, he immediately opened his eyes, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

He went straight to the point and said: "You are the main body, right? I need to refine a third-grade pill, which you can't refine. Even among fourth-grade alchemists, very few people can refine this kind of pill."

"Go call your master, or tell me where your master is, and I will visit him in person."

Hearing this person's tone was so big, Long Xuan's expression changed slightly. This person wanted to refine a third-grade pill, and he was actually a Spirit-Sea Gu Master.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart. For the sake of absolute safety, he had boasted about a very awesome master for himself, but the boasting was a bit too big, and with the Honesty Gu there to testify, everyone believed it.

Now it was good, it had attracted a Spirit-Sea Gu Master, right?

Everything had its pros and cons. Having a very awesome master could make him absolutely safe, but at the same time, it would also attract some high-realm powerhouses to come to the door to seek medicine. Now the fun was big.

Where was he going to get a third-grade pill for him?

However, there was no need to panic about this matter. Speaking of which, he really wasn't afraid of any Spirit-Sea Gu Master now.

It should be known that he now had the Heaven-Mending Pill and the Soul-Reviving Pill, and the side effects of the Life and Death Gate were already extremely low for him.

He could now kill a Spirit-Sea Gu Master at an extremely low cost. The only thing to worry about was that vitality and spiritual power would need several years to recover.

And he also had to worry about the problem of drug resistance of the pills. This move must absolutely not be used much, but using it two or three more times should be completely fine.

Thinking this way, Long Xuan didn't take this Spirit-Sea Gu Master in front of him seriously at all. If he dared to explode his hair at him, he wouldn't mind pinching him to death casually.

So Long Xuan said in a very casual tone: "My master is in seclusion and will not refine pills for anyone within ten years. Please go back!"

However, seeing that he was still so negligent in the face of a high-realm person, this person was even more convinced that there was an unfathomable master behind him; otherwise, his confidence would never be so full.

And the more unfathomable his master was, the more likely he was to refine that kind of pill. He had traveled to so many regions before finding an alchemist who might be able to refine this kind of pill. How could he give up easily?

So the burly man was a bit anxious, hurriedly got up, and said eagerly: "It doesn't matter! I can wait! Isn't it just ten years? I'll wait!"
