Wang Daoyuan named Fang's short sword the Tiger Fiend Sword, and the dagger the Tiger Claw Blade.
Now that the magic tool had been refined, his refining level had reached high grade tier 2. It was time to repair the Wave Chasing Flying Boat that he had bought decades ago.
After the new flying boat was refined, the Wave Chasing Flying Boat was handed over to Wang Daoyuan.
He took out the Wave Chasing Flying Boat and injected spirit power into it. The flying boat returned to its original size of five feet long and one foot wide.
Wang Daoyuan took apart the entire outer shell of the flying boat. The deck and side of the boat were made of ordinary materials, and their strength was far worse than iron quinoa wood.
He naturally would not keep these rubbish materials, and replaced them all with iron quinoa wood.
The keel was still in good condition, and the material was also tier 2 spirit wood. The size control formation on it could still be used, so there was no need to replace it for the time being.
The ribs were damaged, so he replaced them all.
The ribs were connected to the keel and supported the frame of the flying boat. The material requirements were higher, so they were all replaced with jadebone pine wood.
After removing the outer hull, ribs, keel, cabin, and other things, the core of the flying boat that was inscribed with propulsion and floating formations was exposed.
The refining level of this core component was far worse than Lei Yan Zhenren's.
The refining level of the refiner was about the same as his.
It was estimated that this guy's spiritual sense cultivation was not good enough, and his level of inscribing formation patterns and refining materials was worse than his.
Unlike Lei Yan Zhenren's flying boat core, the core of the Wave Chasing Flying Boat was refined with a mixture of tier 2 metal materials.
At that time, the old man who sold the flying boat did not ask for much. The core material of the flying boat was indeed worth one or two thousand spirit stones.
Apart from the inferior refining level, the components were not much different from the flying boat core refined by Lei Yan Zhenren.
The damage to the core of the Wave Chasing Flying Boat was not as serious as imagined.
Only a few components were damaged, and the formation patterns inscribed on them were also affected.
Although the two formations did not have much practical use, they still retained their basic functions, indicating that the formation patterns could still be used.
Although the flying boat core was not much, it still had an advantage, which was easy to repair.
Because the flying boat core was made of tier 2 metal materials, it could be smelted and recast, and did not need to be completely replaced.
Furthermore, there were a few damaged components, and the formation patterns had not completely lost their effectiveness.
He didn't even need to recast it. All he needed to do was fill in the cracks and the damaged parts with other metal materials and repair the damaged formation patterns. Then, the entire core of the flying boat would be fine.
The core of the flying boat was not seriously damaged. Wang Daoyuan only spent a few days to repair it.
Next, he did not assemble the other parts of the flying boat. Instead, he directly copied the Wave Chasing Boat.
Although he had carefully observed the core of the flying boat that Daoist Lei Yan had refined, it was still his first time refining it after all. It was better to have a real object as a reference.
There was no need to worry about the materials needed to refine the core. Yun Yi would stay at Jade Pine Mountain. If she lacked any materials, she would send a message to the Twelfth Uncle and ask Yun Yi to bring them over.
The core material of the flying boat was Star Steel, a high-grade tier-2 material. It was a metallic material, but the spiritual energy it contained was of no attribute.
It was best to use non-elemental materials to refine large artifacts such as flying boats.
That was because the flying boat was mainly powered by spirit stones, and spirit stones provided non-elemental spiritual energy.
When materials of any other attribute absorbed non-elemental spiritual energy, there would be a process of spiritual energy attribute conversion.
Meaningless processes were naturally removed as much as possible.
The strength of Star Steel was not low, and it was also a metallic material. When it was damaged, it was easier to repair.
Most importantly, the Wang Family had a mine that produced Star Steel. Although the production of high-grade tier-2 Star Steel was extremely low, it was still enough to refine the core of the flying boat.
In order to save time, he even asked Zhao Liang to help out.
Zhao Liang was still at the peak of Qi Refinement. It took time and effort to process tier-2 materials. Wang Daoyuan asked him to help with the hull material.
In other words, he had to cut Iron Quinoa Wood into wooden boards and inscribe patterns to increase the strength.
He still had to do the core parts, as well as the keel and ribs.
He had to inscribe the two large formations, the Floating Array and the Propulsion Array, on more than ten pieces of Star Steel.
These pieces of Star Steel could not be too big because tier-2 metals had a high density. The bigger the size, the heavier the weight.
The Floating Array had a limited capacity. If the core of the flying boat took up too much of its weight, it would be able to carry less goods in the future.
This was also a major flaw of the metallic core. With the spiritual wood core, there was no need to consider so much. The size could be larger.
The core of the flying boat refined by Lei Yan Zhenren was very common for parts that were more than ten feet long.
As for the parts that Wang Daoyuan refined, they were at most three feet long.
As a result, the difficulty of inscribing the formation patterns was much higher.
In general, the spiritual wood core and the metallic core both had their advantages and disadvantages.
The spiritual wood core was light and easy to inscribe the formation patterns, but it was more difficult to repair it after it was damaged.
The metallic core was heavy and difficult to inscribe the formation patterns, but it was easy to repair it after it was damaged.
Wang Daoyuan chose the metallic core not only because it was easy to repair, but also because the Wang Family did not have suitable spiritual wood.
The Jadebone Pine's spiritual energy permeability was too poor and was not suitable to be the core.
The Golden Silk Jade Peach's spiritual energy permeability was extremely high, but the Wang Family did not have any high-grade tier-2 Golden Silk Jade Peach.
Although there was one in the space of the Spirit Pearl, Wang Daoyuan did not dare to take it out easily.
If he purchased suitable spiritual wood, he would have to use the same spiritual wood to repair the damaged core in the future.
Furthermore, considering the mistakes during the refinement process and the wastage of materials, he would have to purchase a large amount of spiritual wood at once. The cost was too high.
After considering everything, Wang Daoyuan chose the Star Steel to refine the core of the flying boat.
Fortunately, Wang Daoyuan's formation skills were excellent and he spent close to a year to successfully refine the core of the flying boat.
During this period, there were countless mistakes.
Fortunately, the Star Steel could be smelted multiple times and did not consume much of the spiritual materials.
Because it had been smelted too many times, the Star Steel that was no longer suitable for refining the core was still useful and could be used as a repair material.
After the core of the flying boat was refined, the remaining work was not difficult.
It was nothing more than using the Jadebone Pine to create a protective layer for the core of the flying boat and refining the ribs.
The core of the Jadebone Pine was used to refine the dragon bones.
There were still many of these left when he refined the outer shell of the flying boat.
Although the newly refined flying boat was still fifty feet long, its width had increased to twenty feet to increase the transport capacity.
A year and a half later, the two flying boats were completed at the same time.
The name of the Wave Chasing Boat had already been replaced by the previous flying boat and was now changed to 'Lin Zhi'.
The brand new flying boat was named 'Jade Pine'.
The work for the three flying boats had already been arranged. The Wave Chasing Boat set off from Jade Spring Peak and headed south along Clear Glass River. After arriving at Clear Glass City, it turned east and followed the clear stream to the edge of Heaven Slash Mountain Range.
There were many itinerant cultivators on this route and it was mainly used for passenger transport with freight transport as a supplement.
The refinement standards of the Lin Zhi were lower and the quality of the materials were not good. Furthermore, it had been repaired and there was no guarantee that there would be no problems. It was not suitable for long journeys.
The route from Jade Pine Mountain to Jade Spring Peak would pass by Lin Zhi Mountain and a few other family properties. It was mainly used for freight transport and only family cultivators were used for passenger transport.
The Jade Pine was personally refined by Wang Daoyuan. Although the standards of the core of the flying boat were far from Perfected Being Lei Yan, it was much better than the core of the Lin Zhi.
Furthermore, all the materials were produced by the family and it was easy to repair if there were any problems.
Therefore, the Jade Pine took on the most difficult task of transporting goods from Clear Glass City to He Yang County's Heyun Lake Market.
In order to ensure the safety of the flying boat, Wang Daoyuan even set up an offensive and defensive formation on the exterior of the flying boat.
While he had to guard against external enemies, he had to guard against internal enemies as well.
This was to prevent thieves from pretending to be passengers and sneaking onto the flying boat to seize the chance to steal it.
Using his evil weapon refinement techniques, Wang Daoyuan set up many Dharmic weapons that could release Grade 2 Dharmic spells in the core cabin of the flying boat.
As soon as someone barged into the engine cabin, these Grade 2 Dharmic spells would be triggered.
The manager of the engine cabin could also control these Dharmic weapons to release Dharmic spells to attack the troublemakers on the flying boat.
