Chapter 1677 - Ornate Treasure Ship
Zhang Feng attaches great importance to Zhao Hai’s matters. So as soon as he heard that Zhao Hai was looking for him, he immediately finished his tasks and went to the Ignored Valley with Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao already guessed why Zhao Hai was looking for Zhang Feng, but he didn’t say it. He also wanted to give Zhang Feng a surprise. At the same time, he was a little afraid. If Zhao Hai wasn’t looking for Zhang Feng for the gift, then it might be bad news.
After a flash of white light, the two appeared on the Ignored Valley’s Transmission Formation. Zhao Hai was already standing outside the formation. Seeing the two arrive, he couldn’t help but smile as he said, “First Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother, come with me.”
Looking at Zhao Hai’s appearance, Zhang Feng knew that there wasn’t a problem, he smiled faintly and said, “When I heard that you want me to come over, I immediately rushed over. If its not important, then let’s see how I deal with you.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “This isn’t really important to me, but I don’t know if it will be to you, Senior Brother. I called you over to give you a gift.”
Zhang Feng replied, “A gift? To me? There’s no need for such trouble. I don’t lack anything. What gift can you give me?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “I’m sure that you don’t have what I’m going to give you. Senior Brother, for a person of your status, I think what you lack the most right now is a means of transportation.”
Zhang Feng stared, then he stopped his footsteps as he turned his head to Zhao Hai and said, “Transportation? Hmph. I have a lot of transportation artifacts, but I don’t use them. I’ll just wait until I get a large artifact of my own. I don’t want any other means of transportation.”
Zhang Feng basically told Zhao Hai that if he didn’t give him a large artifact, then there’s no need to bother.
Whether it be in the Great World of Cultivation or the lower realms, large artifacts were very difficult to refine. It was precisely because of this difficulty that large artifacts were very rare. Each sect would only have a few useful large artifacts. Some were even kept secret, not shown to other people. These large artifacts were reserved for when the sect was in a life and death situation.
For such reasons, there were only a few people in the Black Tiger Gang who have their own large artifact. Besides the top ten Core Disciples, only the Elders and the Gang Leader would have their own Black Tiger Ships. In the entire Black Tiger Gang, the people who used Black Tiger Ships number only around 20.
If you weren’t among the top ten Core Disciples, the Elders, or the Gang Leader, then you could only depend on your own efforts to obtain a large artifact. You’ll have to get your own materials and find a refiner of large artifacts. Even if you have 100 large artifacts, nobody would mind it if you worked on it on your own.
But in the Great World of Cultivation, there were only very few people who could refine large artifacts. Naturally, refining large artifacts doesn’t only involve one person, but a group of refiners.
Refining large artifacts needs a lot of specialized refiners as well as a Refining Grandmaster to take charge of the whole production. Moreover, large artifact refining was a huge project that would take a lot of time and resources. Because of this, even major sects like the Black Tiger Gang couldn’t produce a lot of large artifacts
It was also for this reason that Zhang Feng had little expectations for Zhao Hai’s gift. He doesn’t believe that Zhao Hai could give him a large artifact.
Hearing Zhang Feng, Zhao Hai immediately knew what he was thinking. He smiled faintly and said, “First Senior Brother, I’m certain that you will like my gift.” Then he waved his had as he took out the Treasure Ship.
Right now, the treasure ship was just a meter long. It looked like a very fine model of a ship. But the more one looks at it, the more exquisite it becomes.
Zhao Hai threw the treasure ship upward and said, “Expand!” The treasure ship seemed to explode as it rapidly increased its size.
Before long, the meter-long treasure ship became a behemoth in the sky. It wasn’t any smaller than the Black Tiger Ships. Although it didn’t look as imposing, it exudes its own special aura.
Zhang Feng and Zhang Hao’s expression turned blank when they saw the huge Treasure Ship, Zhang Feng even more so. He didn’t expect Zhao Hai to actually give him a large artifact. He was extremely startled. At the same time, although he knew that Zhao Hai was going to give a gift, Zhang Hao was stunned. He didn’t expect Zhao Hai’s gift to be this extravagant.
After some time, Zhang Feng recovered. He turned his head to Zhao Hai and said, “Little Hai, you’re giving this to me?”
Zhao Hai nodded as he smiled and said, “Back in the lower realms, I made quite a few large artifacts. At that time, our Hundred Treasures Realm had deep enmity with the Giant Spirit Realm. The Giant Spirit Realm were well known for their large artifacts. After we defeated them, we were able to acquire their refining techniques. This large artifact was made following those refining techniques. After some improvements to the technique as well as the addition of a few rare materials, I was able to make this ship.”
“In the end, Senior Brother, what status do you have? You are on equal footing with the top ten core disciples. How can you go out using flying swords? Because of this, I thought of giving you this large artifact. Do you like it?”
Looking at the treasure ship, Zhang Feng’s eyes shone brightly. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Of course I like it. Hahaha. Thank you, Little Hai. Alright, introduce this ship to me.”
Zhao Hai nodded, then led Zhang Feng and Zhang Hao to the treasure ship. Once they landed on the ship, he turned his head and said, “Because this is a boat-shaped artifact, it only has one main method of attack. And that is ramming itself at the enemy. Back in the lower realm, these kinds of ships would have cannons attached. However, these cannons are useless in the Great World of Cultivation, so I didn’t bother installing them.”
“There’s a spirit gathering formation that can absorb the surrounding qi to provide power to the ship. When running at normal speed, the ship wouldn’t need spirit stones to move. If you want the ship to increase its speed, you can feed it some spirit stones. Moreover, the ship uses spirit stones during battle to maintain its defensive shield. Normally, it would have one layer of shields. Only after adding spirit stones would the ship generate more layers of shields.
“The ship’s cabins are made with spatial refining techniques. Although the ship is only this big, it would have no problems having 40 or 50 thousand people inside. It also has a function to expand upon the addition of spirit stones. If used in its full capacity, the ship can be loaded with 100 thousand people.”
“Besides spirit stones, the ship can also accept a cultivator’s qi to power it. This means that you can use people to increase the ship’s speed and its defenses.”
“The ship is made with components attached with joints. Because of this, if a component gets damaged, it can be easily replaced. This allows the ship to restore its strength in a short time.”
Zhao Hai stopped at this point. Then he said, “First Senior Brother, let’s head into the cabins to take a look. See if you have any designs that you would like to be changed.” Zhang Feng was shocked by the functions that Zhao Hai explained. Hearing Zhao Hai, he also nodded. Then they proceeded to enter the ship.
As Zhao Hai led the two men inside, he said, “There are rooms here that can house the guards. You can also have some Serving Disciples and Outer Disciples live in them. This section can be said to be the reception area of the ship.” Then he led the two of them further inside. Each room had a praying mat inside, nothing else. Altogether, there were 20 layers each with 20 rooms each. It can house 200 individuals.
The three proceeded to the lower deck. Zhao Hai gestured at the first floor and said, “This is the first floor. There are also rooms here that can house people.”
Then he referred to the staircase and said, “From there is the second floor. I designed that floor for you to use. There’s a storage room, accessory room, and other auxiliary rooms on that floor. There’s also rooms for people that would serve you.” As he said that, Zhao Hai led Zhang Feng to the second floor.
The second floor was different from the first floor. On the first floor, there was only a long corridor with rows upon rows of rooms. But on the second floor, you can see a huge door carved with a black tiger. The door would be the first thing that one would see upon going to the second floor.
Zhao Hai shoved the huge door open and then entered along with Zhang Feng and Zhang Hao. After passing through the door, they were met with a giant room. The room was about ten thousand meters large with transforming clouds inside. There was even an activity area, a conference area, as well as doors leading to other rooms, one of which had a tiger carved in front. There were also doors that had titles of storage room and accessory room.
Zhao Hai turned his head to Zhang Feng and said, “First Senior Brother, this place is for you to discuss things with other people. In that small bar, I prepared some spirit wine as well as spirit tea. The room with a tiger carved on it is your room. The storage room can be used to store spirit stones or other things. The accessory room is filled with parts for the ship. These two rooms are connected to other doors in the ship. The next floor below is the power room where the spirit gathering arrays are located. If you want to send spirit stones to the power room, you can use the storage room. The accessories room is connected outside the ship. You can directly take the parts inside the room to outside the ship. This would make it more convenient to perform repairs.”
