After the three flying ships started working, they encountered many cultivators who wanted to rob the ships.
After all, there were no Foundation Establishment cultivators on board. Even peak Qi Refinement cultivators had a chance of successfully robbing the ships.
Linzhi's route in the Wang family's territory didn't encounter any robberies. Jadesong and Wave Chaser encountered many robberies.
Wave Chaser's main purpose was to transport passengers. Rogue cultivators were mostly fugitives, so they encountered robberies the most.
No matter how bad a flying ship was, it was still worth ten thousand spirit stones and there were no Foundation Establishment cultivators on board. It would be strange if fugitives weren't tempted.
However, with Wang Daoyuan's backup plan, it was possible to kill late Foundation Establishment cultivators. Qi Refinement cultivators would definitely die if they dared to make a move.
Jadesong's journey was the furthest and it passed through the border between two counties.
This kind of border was most suitable for robberies.
Because Jadesong was a cargo ship, it didn't carry rogue cultivators. Only cultivators from friendly families could take the flying ship.
Therefore, Jadesong had never encountered any robberies. Instead, it encountered Foundation Establishment cultivators blocking the way many times.
Wang Daoyuan's offensive and defensive formations were all superior level two formations. They had the ability to kill late Foundation Establishment cultivators.
After three months of transporting goods, Jadesong was intercepted by a late Foundation Establishment cultivator and two mid Foundation Establishment cultivators near Heaven's Gate.
The steward of Jadesong used the formation to kill the two mid Foundation Establishment cultivators. The late Foundation Establishment cultivator also escaped with heavy injuries.
Since then, no one dared to rob the Wang family's flying ship.
With the advantage of being at the source of Qingli River, the Wang family had a huge advantage in water transportation.
Now that they had the flying ship, it could be said that the Wang family controlled the transportation industry in the north of Qingli County.
Monopolizing the industry to make money. Completely controlling the industry without any competitors was even more profitable.
After half a year of operation, the flying ship's income surpassed the three industries of pills, talismans and spirit chefs. It was comparable to the income of the spirit wine industry.
Naturally, the flying ship was under the control of the Transportation Hall. In the past, the Transportation Hall didn't have much money and only supported the Mining Hall, Spirit Wood Hall and Trade Hall.
Now that they had the flying ship, the Transportation Hall's profitability was no less than the other three halls.
The Transportation Hall and Spirit Silkworm Hall were the two halls with the greatest prospects.
In the future, transportation and silkworms would become the most important industries of the Wang Family.
This was just the beginning. In the future, the clan would expand its business scope. The flying boat was an important weapon for the clan to expand its living space and market. It would also promote the development of other industries.
After Lin Zhi and Yu Song were completed, Wang Daoyuan and Zhao Liang did not stay idle. They continued to refine flying boats.
Due to the huge commotion in the central region of Qingli Prefecture, they needed to refine another flying boat to be used for transportation between Qingli City Square and the central region of Qingli Prefecture.
This commotion was caused by the clans around Hundred Spirit Mountain preparing to set up a market.
The location of the market was at the foot of the western part of Hundred Spirit Mountain.
There were a few streams here that flowed into Qing Li River. Water transportation was convenient, and it was backed by the rich and populous Bai Ling Mountain. The location was indeed excellent.
There weren't any large scale city squares in the central part of Qingli Prefecture. The few so called small scale city squares were just a few clans that established a grassroots organization.
Once the Bai Ling Mountain Market was established, it would quickly become the trading hub of the entire Qing Li Region.
If he could take the initiative here, the profits would be huge.
The only drawback was that there were still a few dozen yao beasts in Hundred Spirit Mountain.
If he could not get rid of the yao beasts, the matter of setting up a market would be complete nonsense.
There was also news from Hundred Spirit Mountain. As long as Wang Zhian was willing to wipe out the yao beasts in Hundred Spirit Mountain, the Wang Clan would receive one-tenth of the shares of the Bai Ling Mountain Market.
This was using great profits to lure the Wang Clan and urge Wang Zhian to act.
However, the Wang Clan was not in a hurry.
With the Wang Clan's current output, Qing Li City Square, Green Willow Island, and Heyang Prefecture's Heyun Lake Market, the three major markets could completely swallow it all.
Without more output, there was no need to expand the market.
The matter of the Bai Ling Mountain Market could wait until Fallen Dragon Ridge was completely taken down.
Of course, the flying boat had to be prepared in advance.
It was better to prepare and not use, than to use and not prepare.
Preparing the flying boat in advance would prevent them from not being able to take it out when they needed it in the future.
Wang Daoyuan and Zhao Liang cooperated and transferred the first tier craftsmen taught by Zhao Liang from Jade Spring Peak to Jade Pine Mountain to help out.
With the experience from last time, Wang Daoyuan's skill in crafting the core of the flying boat had improved.
The core of the flying boat refined this time was a bit stronger than the Jade Pine.
The stronger the core, the bigger the outer shell, and the more cargo it could transport, otherwise it would be a waste of such a good core.
The new flying boat was named "Jade Spring". In order to refine the Jade Spring, he had cut down a second tier high grade Jade Bone Pine and refined a seven zhang long keel.
The entire flying boat was close to eight zhang long and twenty-five zhang wide.
The Jade Spring was bigger and had more space inside. Wang Daoyuan had also left some backup plans.
With the experience from last time, the speed of the refining this time was much faster. In just eight months, the refining was completed.
After refining the Jade Spring, Wang Daoyuan spent nearly a year refining a few keels and a complete set of core components of the flying boat.
This was to prepare for going out to gain experience. Now that he was at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, it was time for him to prepare for opening the Purple Palace.
Zhao Liang was now a second tier high grade craftsmen. He could repair and replace the components of the flying boat that did not involve array formations.
But apart from Wang Daoyuan, there were no other second tier high grade array masters in the clan.
Wang Shouzhe had been nurtured by Wang Daoyuan for several years, but he was only a first tier mid grade array master.
Although his talent was very good, he did not even have the ability to repair the flying boat's array formations.
When he went out to gain experience, if there was a problem with the keels or the flying boat's core, no one would be able to repair it. Naturally, he had to make some preparations in advance.
After making these preparations, Wang Daoyuan greeted his Twelfth Uncle and left the clan again. He went to the north of the mountain to prepare for opening the Purple Palace.
There were not many channels to obtain auxiliary spiritual items for opening the Purple Palace, but he knew of two. The first was that the top forces would auction the Yin Yang Purple Jade and the Purple Cloud Wood Core every two hundred years.
There was a hard condition to participate in this auction, and that was to have at least one Golden Core cultivator in one's faction.
The Wang Clan did not have any Golden Core cultivators, so they did not even have the qualifications to bid.
The second was to obtain the Yin Yang Purple Jade from Blood Shadow.
His clone, Wu Yi, was originally an internal member of the Blood Shadow Mountain's northern branch.
As an internal member of Blood Shadow, he was naturally qualified to use spirit stones to buy the Yin Yang Purple Jade.
Wang Daoyuan had long wanted to play this hand, but he did not have the means to recover his soul before, so he did not dare to casually send his clone out.
Now that he had the Inky Jade Lotus Seed, even if his clone was killed and lost a part of his soul, he could quickly recover.
After leaving Jade Pine Mountain, he did not fly on his sword. Instead, he walked to the north.
After crossing Huiyan Mountain, he headed west and headed to Guiyan Market.
It had been more than twenty years since he last came to Guiyan Market.
In the past twenty years, the Underworld Sect had wanted to make a move on the Guiyuan Sword Sect.
Although they did not fight in the end, it still affected the situation in the north of the mountain.
The situation in the north of the mountain was unknown.
