Chapter 97 Great Harvest

Feiyan Port.

Although the situation in the East China Sea is tense, people cannot stop eating just because it is going to rain.

As the only port in Cape City, it is still busy and bustling.

Monster hunting ships and merchant ships dock here every moment to load and unload cargo.

At this moment, a monster-hunting ship with a carp flag suddenly appeared on the sea and was breaking through the waves towards Feiyan Port.

"what is that?"

People with good eyesight saw a large black shadow behind the monster-hunting ship.

"It's a giant whale!"

Soon, someone exclaimed.

"Isn't this more than thirty meters long?"

"The Fubo is going to get rich now!"

"No wonder they returned so quickly."

For a moment, countless people in Feiyan Harbor looked at the Fubo with envy in their eyes.

As the saying goes, when a whale dies, all things come to life. The flesh and blood of giant whales have an irresistible temptation to the monster fish. Therefore, after hunting the giant whale, you only need to hang it on the stern of the boat, and it will continuously attract monster fish. This fishing efficiency is far superior to searching everywhere.

And the value of the giant whale itself is no less than that of a boat full of monster fish.

It can be predicted that the Fu Bo will make a fortune this time!

"Zhang Laosan, you are so lucky!"

After the Fu Bo docked, many captains of monster-hunting ships who were close to it gathered around and started chatting with it with a mixture of envy and jealousy.

Hahaha……

Zhang Laosan laughed arrogantly, "Luck is important, but you also need the strength to catch it. If you encounter a giant whale, you also need the strength to hunt it down!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but think of the Whale Hunter.

It was obvious that Zhang Laosan was still brooding over the fact that he was forced to retreat by Cen Hongxin.

"On such a happy day, don't mention anything that will spoil the fun."

These people were all drinking and eating friends of Zhang Laosan, and they often talked about the Whale Hunter. Naturally, they understood what Zhang Laosan meant and immediately agreed with him. When you are in power, the whole world will make way for you.

"The Whale Hunter has been out to sea for a month and hasn't come back yet. I'm afraid it won't be able to come back."

"I thought they were just pretending to be around in the water, but I didn't expect them to be serious..."

"Let's go and have a drink!"

After everyone burst into laughter again, Zhang Laosan waved his hand and said proudly, "I'll treat you!"

"Let's go, let's kill a big dog today!"

However, just as they were about to go to Cape City, a large fleet suddenly appeared on the sea.

Fortunately, everyone recognized the flags on the fleet, otherwise they might have thought that the Dragon Temple was attacking Cape City.

"Look, the Whale Hunter is in there too!"

The captain with a keen eye once again spotted a bright spot in the fleet.

For some reason, when they saw the Whaler return safely, their joy seemed to be shrouded by a veil.

With a backer, you can really do whatever you want!

Isn't it just a voyage? How could he be able to blend into the fleets of the four major forces?

Zhang Laosan and the others were in mixed feelings for the moment, and were not in a hurry to drink, so they decided to stay and see what was going on.

Soon the fleet entered the port.

Zhang Laosan and his men stared with wide eyes at the cargo ship that was larger than all the monster-hunting ships.

"What happened?"

"Why did the crew of the Whaler disembark from this freighter?"

Zhang Laosan and his friends had a lot of questions in their heads, but the smiles on the faces of the Whaler crew made them feel a little uneasy.

As the four major fleets approached the shore, the sailors disembarked and soon received the news.

Relics, cargo ships...

Zhang Laosan and others stood there in a daze, not knowing how to adjust their mentality for a moment.

There are many legends about ruins in the East China Sea, but only a few people have actually encountered them. I didn’t expect that the boy would encounter one on his first voyage after becoming a captain, and he escaped unscathed.

They didn't know what Cao Ze had gained from the ruins, but this alone was enough to make people jealous.

Not to mention, he actually picked up a cargo ship for free!!!
What kind of shit luck is this?

Zhang Laosan originally thought that encountering a wounded giant whale was a blessing from fate, but he didn't expect that this guy would pick up a cargo ship destroyed by pirates and deliver the goods directly to his door?

Can you pick this up?

What kind of destiny child is this?

Thinking of what he just said, "Luck is important, but you also need the strength to grasp it," he suddenly blushed.

If your luck is good to a certain extent, you can really do whatever you want!
The others also fell silent. Seeing the Whaler returning with a full load was more painful than eating a fly.

After standing there in a daze for a long while, the group went to Cape City with a dull mood. They went to the restaurant they frequented most and drank silently. It didn't seem like a celebration, but more like they were drowning their sorrows in alcohol.

……

When Su Wu saw Cao Ze and Su Xiaozhi bringing back a little girl of about 13 or 14 years old, he thought he was hallucinating. They had only been out for a few months...

After learning about Nie Xiaoyu's life experience, Su Wu remained silent. He specially went to the kitchen to cook a delicious meal to celebrate Cao Ze's safe return.

After arranging Nie Xiaoyu to stay in the front yard, Cao Ze returned to the backyard and took out the secret book he got from the ruins.

Alchemy Ding Jue!
This is indeed a technique for the Blood Refining Realm.

After a warrior has strengthened his body, he will then refine his blood. In other words, the purpose of strengthening the body is to refine the blood.

The flesh and blood of the body are nourished by the blood. At the same time, only a strong body can cultivate powerful blood power.

Only when the physique is tempered to perfection can stronger blood be nourished. At the same time, refining the blood will further strengthen the physique, thus forming a virtuous circle and allowing the warrior's physical strength to reach its peak.

As the saying goes, pig blood feeds pigs, and dragon blood feeds dragons. The strength of a warrior also comes from his blood. If one can cultivate a body of dragon blood, he will naturally possess the power of a dragon and achieve the status of a grandmaster.

The blood of a powerful warrior often contains terrifying power!

The natural state of the body-building realm is just as its name suggests, it is about strengthening the physique. It belongs to external training, training and strengthening the body through specific movements, and nourishing with medicines to strengthen the body little by little.

The blood refining realm belongs to internal cultivation!

Through specific exercises, the potential of the body can be stimulated to produce stronger blood. The blood is then used to nourish the body and strengthen the physique, making the blood stronger. This process is called blood refining.

There are countless methods of refining blood, some rely on natural treasures, some are through hard training, and some are through blood sacrifices and killings, such as the Blood Demon Cult.

And this Dan Ding Jue is even more domineering.

It is said that he uses his body as a cauldron to refine all things and produce a great elixir.

Cao Ze was not quite clear about this elixir. Wasn't it about refining blood? Why was there another elixir?
But Cao Ze understood the refining method.

It uses a special secret method to transform itself into a cauldron, with its legs as the feet, its hands as the ears, its torso as the body, and its five internal organs as the fire, in order to refine all things.

Among them, the five internal organs are naturally the most important. They are the source of blood refining power. The stronger the five internal organs are, the purer the refined blood will be and the faster the refining speed will be.

Cao Ze couldn't help but feel delighted, this Dan Ding Jue was simply tailor-made for him.

According to the Five Elements Internal Medicine Technique, the strength of the five internal organs cultivated through secret methods is far beyond that of ordinary warriors. Using this to practice the Alchemy Technique is simply a match made in heaven!
After closing the skills, Cao Ze already understood the Dan Ding Jue clearly. Although there were still some descriptions that he didn't quite understand, it didn't hinder his practice.

Everything is ready, except for improving your cultivation.

Cao Ze called out the panel,

【Wu Fu:
Cultivation: Body Refining Tenth Level Fish Dragon Transformation (Bone Refining): Minor Success (68/10240)

Snow Blade: Perfection

Strike the Sea (Momentum): Getting Started (399/1600)

Wind Shadow Step: Great Mastery (134/400)

Love Point: 1421】

After a month of hard training, progress in all attributes has increased.

Su Xiaozhi, who took dragon tendons half a month ago, has already broken through to the Bone Tempering Realm. With 100% favorability and a triple bonus, the average daily increase in love points has reached 87 points.

But this is still a drop in the bucket compared to the points needed to improve one's cultivation.

He now increasingly understands what the twelfth level of body forging means. He is advancing step by step. The points required for each improvement in cultivation are growing exponentially. It can be predicted that as the cultivation level increases, the points required will be an astronomical figure.

With a thought, he took out the half dragon bone from the storage belt.

It’s time to look for medicinal herbs to refine dragon bones. I hope this piece of dragon bone will not disappoint me!
Looking up at the sky, Cao Ze put away the dragon skeleton again. A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, so he should enjoy the first night back in Cape City.

At night, in the Cao family compound, the backyard is warmly lit and the spring scenery is pleasant.

"Husband, why haven't we had a child for so long?"

Su Xiaozhi said with a puzzled look on her face. After seeing Nie Xiaoyu, she really had the idea of ​​having a child.

"The more powerful the warrior, the more difficult it is to create a bloodline."

Cao Ze was also a little confused. At first, he was thinking about preparing some family planning measures, after all, they exercised quite diligently.

But it turned out that he was worrying too much.

Even at their exercise frequency, Su Xiaozhi's stomach didn't move at all.

Now it can be said that he is very powerful, but before that, when he had just started to enter the martial arts world, the frequency of their fighting was also quite high.

So, he suspected that this was related to his panel.

Su Xiaozhi chuckled, "That's not necessarily true. Don't so many powerful warriors have descendants?"

"So, husband, you have to look for your own reasons as well?"

“It’s been so long, have you tried hard?
It is difficult for warriors to give birth to bloodlines. What is difficult about that? It has been like this for so many years. Okay, my husband, please don’t lie with your eyes open. It is very difficult for us warriors…”

"???"

It seems that an old friend has come.

Cao Ze felt that these words sounded so familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard them. However, he knew that Su Xiaozhi was provoking him.

"You think you can do whatever you want after breaking through to the Bone Forging Realm, right?"

"You feel you can do it again, don't you?"

Cao Ze laughed strangely.

Su Xiaozhi looked at Cao Ze with a smile, wanting to refuse but also to welcome.

An hour later,

"Husband, I made a mistake."

"But I still dare to..."

After a ridiculous night, Cao Ze woke up the next day feeling refreshed. After washing up, he walked towards the inner city.

It would take him an unknown amount of time to collect the herbs needed to refine dragon bones by himself. In addition, he also needed to deal with the cargo on the ship of the Nie family. The cargo was large in quantity but not of high value, so he could not use it, and he could not handle such a large amount of cargo by himself.

Therefore, I can only ask the Yue family for help.

As soon as he entered the inner city, Cao Ze saw the righteous Hong Xing.

"Why are you here?"

Hong Xing also saw Cao Ze, but the tone of his questioning was not as friendly as before. No one knew what had happened to make her so angry.

"I was just about to ask Miss Hongxing for help."

Cao Ze hesitated for a moment. Although he felt that asking for help when the other person was in a bad mood was not a good idea, since they had met, there was no reason to come again next time.

"Oh? I was just about to go look for you too!"

Hong Xing looked at Cao Ze, and without asking any questions, she took Cao Ze and walked straight to the Yue Family Martial Arts School.

Came to the small courtyard where the Wind Shadow Step was practiced.

At this time, all the apricot blossoms had left the branches, leaving only bare branches baring their fangs and claws in the yard.

For some reason, the apricot blossoms here did not bear fruit, which was somewhat similar to the viewing of cherry blossoms in the previous life.

"This is what the lady asked me to give you."

After entering the courtyard, Hong Xing turned around and handed Cao Ze an animal skeleton that was three or four meters long. The bones were snow-white with no signs of oxidation, and it was obvious that the animal had died not long ago.

"This is?"

Only then did Cao Ze realize that Hong Xing also had a storage treasure on her body, and from the fact that she could take out such a large skeleton out of thin air, it could be seen that her storage treasure was many times larger than the belt he got from the bishop of the Church of Poseidon.

"Netherworld Tiger Bone."

For some reason, Hong Xing's tone became more and more impatient when she said this, but she still took out a large cloth bag out of thin air again, "This is the medicinal material needed to refine the tiger bone."

"Now that troubled times are approaching, I hope you can break through the bone forging and enter the internal organs forging as soon as possible, so that my painstaking efforts will not be in vain."

"Okay, tell me what you want from me."

Cao Ze was silent.

This Nether Tiger is a fifth-rank monster, with strength equivalent to that of a martial arts master. The value of this tiger bone alone is no less than ten thousand taels of gold.

Although its strength may not be as good as the dragon bones I got, it is large in quantity and enough for me to use for a long time.

Yue Lingke actually gave it to me like this?
This favor is a big one.

But since she gave it to him, Cao Ze did not refuse. He would just remember the kindness in his heart and he would always be able to repay it.

"I brought back a ship of cargo from the Nie family this time. Now that the Nie family has been exterminated, I would like to dispose of this ship of cargo. I would like to ask Hong Xing for help."

Originally, Cao Ze wanted Hong Xing to help collect medicinal materials for refining dragon bones, but now that is no longer necessary.

"What do you want to do with it?"

Hong Xing nodded, she knew about this.

"Exchange all the goods for silver, half of which will be given to Nie Xiaoyu, and half of the remaining half will be distributed to all the crew members of the Whale Hunter. For the remaining silver, I would like to ask Hong Xing to help me exchange it for a pulse-replenishing pill, and the rest can be used to exchange for some auxiliary prescriptions needed for the Yijin and Duangu realms."

Cao Ze had already made arrangements.

After hearing this, Hong Xing's original resentment suddenly dissipated a lot, but she still asked, "Leave half to Nie Xiaoyu? A little girl who knows nothing, does she need such a huge sum of money?"

"The things belong to the Nie family, so they should naturally belong to her. It's her business how she uses them."

"I took half because I promised her to avenge the Nie family. This is my reward."

"You, a warrior who has just entered the Bone Refining Realm, can avenge a warrior in the Organ Refining Realm?"

"Once you've promised someone something, you have to try it first to know for sure."

Hong Xing paused and continued, "Is the Xumai Pill for your brother-in-law who has a broken arm?"

"Even if his arm recovers, with his talent, it will be difficult for him to make further progress in martial arts. The value of the Blood Regulating Pill is more than five thousand taels, which can be used to buy a lot of bone-forging prescriptions. Is it worth it?"

"Without Uncle Wu, I would have been buried in the sea a long time ago. This is something that cannot be measured by money."

Hong Xing looked into Cao Ze's eyes and nodded after a while, "Okay, I'll arrange it for you. Go ahead, I'll have someone deliver the tiger bone to you."

At this time, the resentment in her heart had disappeared. She was originally angry and was planning to let Cao Ze go through the streets and bring back the tiger bones by himself. Now, she naturally would not let Cao Ze become the target of public criticism.

Cao Ze felt a little strange and didn't know why Hong Xing became weird today, but he still answered the other party's questions truthfully.
