Family Cultivation: I Can Store My Ability To Understand

Chapter 26: Encounter

The next day… At the port of Guang'an Prefecture.

As numerous cloud-treading beast carriages transported and loaded all kinds of spirit ores onto the Canglong cargo ship, Chen Xianhe looked at the busy clansmen on the cargo ship and turned to look at Chen Daoxuan. He said, "It's a long journey back to Shuanghu Island. I wish you a safe journey!"

"Thank you."

Chen Daoxuan nodded. "Thirteenth uncle, you take care too. When the clan's refining workshop is completed and the output of spiritual artifacts stabilizes, I will bring the refined spiritual artifacts over to you."

"Don't worry. With the spiritual artifacts you gave me yesterday, the spiritual artifact shop will be able to hold on for a while," Chen Xianhe touched the storage bag on his waist and said with a smile.

Chen Daoxuan glanced at thirteenth uncle's storage bag and thought to himself, 'These spiritual artifacts are probably far from sufficient.'

The spiritual artifacts he gave Chen Xianhe yesterday were some high-quality spiritual artifacts that he had refined during his five years of artifact refining studies. Among them were 23 low-grade first-grade spiritual artifacts, 11 mid-grade first-grade spiritual artifacts, bringing the total number of spiritual artifacts to 34.

In Chen Xianhe's opinion, these spiritual artifacts were worth a huge sum of spirit stones. Their market value was probably around three thousand spirit stones. In fact, due to the shortage of high-quality spiritual artifacts on the market, their actual value might be even higher.

Chen Xianhe felt that, with so many spiritual artifacts, it would be enough to support the opening and operation of the spiritual artifact shop for a period of time.

However, it was clear that Chen Xianhe had still underestimated the demand for high-quality spiritual artifacts among the itinerant cultivators in the immortal city of Guang'an Prefecture.

In Chen Daoxuan's opinion, if these spiritual artifacts were to be listed for sale at the itinerant cultivator market, they would be instantly snapped up within the blink of an eye.

Of course, Chen Daoxuan could not voice his speculations out loud. Otherwise, it would be a slap on his face if the sales of spiritual artifacts did not explode.

"Oh, right."

As if he had thought of something, Chen Xianhe changed the topic. "Daoxuan, why did you name the clan's spiritual artifact shop 'Hongyin Flying Sword' instead of the Chen Clan's spiritual artifact shop?

"Do you mean to say that our clan's next primary spiritual artifact product will be flying swords?"

"That's right!"

Chen Daoxuan nodded and explained, "In the Myriad Sea of Stars, under the influence of the Qianyuan Sword sect, more than 90% of cultivators use flying sword-type spiritual artifacts, and the market for flying sword-type spiritual artifacts is the broadest."

"The reason why I named it 'Hongyin Flying Sword' is because I want the Chen clan to occupy a place in the flying sword spiritual artifact market."

As for more profound things like brand name and value, Chen Daoxuan could not explain it to Chen Xianhe for the time being, so he simply glossed over it.

The development of businesses in the immortal city of Guang'an Prefecture was still at a relatively low level. No matter what the shops here sold, most of the names they used were vague.

For example, the Wu spiritual artifact shop, the so-and-so elixir shop, the so-and-so treasure and equipment pavilion, and so on.

Almost none of the spiritual artifact shops were skilled at sales. In other words, they simply did not have the concept of marketing and branding here.

Furthermore, this spiritual artifact shop opened by the Chen clan targeted a very select group of consumers—itinerant cultivators and the disciples of small clans.

This group of consumers had two major characteristics.

Firstly, their numbers were numerous.

Secondly, the requirements for the grade of their spiritual artifacts were not high.

Incidentally, these two points played to the Chen clan's biggest advantage.

The large number of consumers proved that the demand for the production of such products was very high. Currently, the demand far outstripped the supply.

Their requirements for the grade of their spiritual artifacts were not high, which meant that Chen Daoxuan, who was a high-level first-tier refiner, could meet their production requirements.

In addition, the Chen clan would specialize in selling flying sword-type spiritual artifacts. Chen Daoxuan believed that the "Hongyin Flying Sword", their spiritual artifact brand, would definitely shoot to fame in one fell swoop!

An hour later, at the stern of the Canglong, Chen Daoxuan waved at Chen Xianhe, whose figure was gradually fading into the distance, before turning around to return to the cabin.

The Canglong was divided into three levels.

The cargo hold, which took up the most space, occupied the first and second levels.

The third level housed the living quarters, which was where the ship's crew resided.

Chen Daoxuan also resided on the third level. However, unlike the five ordinary members of the Chen clan who were squeezed into one room, the cabin that Chen Daoxuan resided in was a luxurious single room unit.

...

Seven days later, in the Southwest Sea of the Myriad Sea of Stars, the Canglong was sailing against the wind and waves across the vast sea.

In the cabin, Chen Daoxuan sat cross-legged on the mat with his eyes closed.

Since he was unable to cultivate the Origin Convergence technique during the voyage, Chen Daoxuan focused all his energy into cultivating the wind chasing sword technique.

It had to be said that his breakthrough in the wind chasing sword technique to the large success stage that time had greatly increased his strength.

Otherwise, even with the high-grade Flying Snow sword, he would at most be able to severely injure the blood-spotted sea snake, and he would not have been able to kill it with a single blow.

Therefore, Chen Daoxuan became even more focused on cultivating the wind chasing sword technique now.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn had passed, Chen Daoxuan, who had just experienced another epiphany, opened his eyes.

"I didn't expect the wind chasing sword technique to be so difficult to cultivate after reaching the large success stage. After two epiphanies, the power of the flying sword has only increased from 60% to 80%."

Chen Daoxuan sighed.

In fact, after the second epiphany during his earlier voyage, Chen Daoxuan's attainments in the wind chasing sword technique had reached the large success stage, and the power of his flying sword had been increased by 60%.

After two further consecutive epiphanies, the increase in the power of the flying sword was only an additional 20%. It had to be said that Chen Daoxuan felt a little discouraged.

After all, this was the result of his cultivation after his comprehension had been increased by ten times.

If he did not rely on the ability of the Hong Meng Enlightenment Sutra to accumulate his comprehension, and only relied on his normal cultivation abilities, he might not have even been able to cultivate the wind chasing sword technique from the large success stage to its present state even if he had been given another ten years.

"No wonder there is no record of the perfect stage of this sword technique. Perhaps even the founder of this sword technique did not think that a junior would be able to cultivate this sword technique to the perfect stage."

Chen Daoxuan shook his head.

Indeed, for a Qi refinement realm cultivator, cultivating a first-grade sword technique to the perfect stage was a little too difficult.

Generally speaking, if a foundation establishment realm cultivator spent a lot of effort, it was possible to cultivate a first-grade sword technique to the perfect stage.

However, there was no need for them to do so, because they were already qualified to cultivate a more advanced second-grade sword technique or second-grade spell.

A foundation establishment realm cultivator only needed to spend a few years in order to cultivate a second-grade sword technique to the small success stage, and the increase in the power of the flying sword would be no weaker than the first-grade sword technique at the perfect stage.

Why would a cultivator forsake the near for the far?

After practicing the wind chasing sword technique that he had just comprehended, Chen Daoxuan got up and walked out of the cabin.

At this time, a mournful and beautiful song could be heard, and Chen Daoxuan felt a wave of dizziness hit his head.

"Not good!"

Chen Daoxuan bit the tip of his tongue, and his consciousness instantly returned to him.

When he rushed up to the deck of the Canglong, he scanned the ship with his spiritual sense and discovered that, except for him, all of the clansmen on the ship had collapsed on the ground and fainted.

Looking down from the high sky.

In the sea water below the CANGLONG, one after another black shadows were swimming in the water, densely packed and innumerable.

Most of these black shadows were more than ten feet long. They were obviously not human.

Hearing the mournful and beautiful singing voice, Chen Daoxuan took out the Flying Snow sword and recited the Hong Meng Enlightenment Sutra, as he attempted to resist the effects of the song on his sea of consciousness.

However, the next moment, Chen Daoxuan's will to resist instantly disintegrated.

In the water, a robust half-human figure with a fish tail glided across the surging waves and appeared in front of him.

Next to this merman was another petite figure.

"It's you!"

Seeing this person in front of him, Chen Daoxuan's heart sank bit by bit...
