Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls-Chapter 547 - 286: Blood Refining Skill and Training Apparatus
"Join your Captain Alliance?"
Cheng Peng was somewhat surprised that Fang Yu agreed without even thinking: "I thought it was something big. No problem at all, Peng, you can put my name on it. I’ll join your Captain Alliance and serve as a guest spokesperson."
Fang Yu laughed, thinking it was nothing serious, just a small matter.
In fact, Fang Yu always felt somewhat indebted to Cheng Peng.
After all, from the very start when meeting Cheng Peng, Cheng Peng had given him an Extraordinary Magic Stone.
Although in hindsight it wasn’t a big expense for Cheng Peng, at the time, it was a tremendous help to Fang Yu.
Moreover, in Fang Yu’s subsequent adventures and endeavors, whenever he encountered something he didn’t understand, he would ask Cheng Peng, who would always enthusiastically provide answers, even revealing the Soul Transformation path for ships—typically monopolized by corporations—setting Fang Yu on the path to Soul Transformation of his own vessel.
Including now, Cheng Peng had come from afar to lend a helping hand to Fang Yu.
All these small favors added up to a significant debt of gratitude. Simply joining the Captain Alliance and using his reputation to give Cheng Peng some publicity barely seemed like enough.
Upon hearing Fang Yu’s agreement, Cheng Peng’s face naturally showed a look of joy.
Without hesitation, he sent Fang Yu an invitation request.
"Captain Fang Yu, do you wish to join the [New Navigation Alliance]?"
"Yes!"
Without a second thought, Fang Yu clicked on the yes button and immediately saw a new faction level appear in his panel space.
[New Navigation Alliance]: Grade B (Guest Member, cannot be upgraded)
Fang Yu nodded slightly, and after closing the panel, he exchanged greetings with Cheng Peng, preparing to return to his ship to study the path to physical holiness.
...
After returning to the ship, Fang Yu didn’t immediately open the packet sent by Cheng Peng.
Instead, he looked at his panel space.
He began inventorying the resources he possessed. With an understanding of his resource storage, it would aid in future upgrades and planning.
Firstly, the path of ship Soul Transformation had been advanced to the second level by Fang Yu, meaning he didn’t need to actively pursue further progress in this path during the Warship Level.
Soul Transformation of the ship had a delayed priority; unless he encountered something that deeply moved him, he wouldn’t pursue it actively or waste time on it.
Ship Soul Transformation progress: Second Evolution (Progress 31%)
It’s sufficient for now.
Secondly, his gaze fell on the stored Extraordinary Essence and Essence of Flesh and Blood within his panel.
The consumption of Extraordinary Essence was evidently much higher than that of Essence of Flesh and Blood.
This was also consumed significantly during ship Soul Transformation, which nearly depleted his entire stock at the time.
However, after slaying Jiang Lin and gaining an additional 6-point multiple, he’d acquired a total of 1.8 kg, and with what remained, it totaled 2 kg.
The Essence of Flesh and Blood was more abundant.
During the Divine Hall War, slaying any troop above a Flesh Puppet yielded Essence of Flesh and Blood. Throughout the following processes, Fang Yu hadn’t used any Essence of Flesh and Blood, meaning what he gained was practically all saved.
Ultimately, the stored Essence of Flesh and Blood in Fang Yu’s panel was 8 kg.
As for Divine Essence, this was said to be the rarest resource, and after his ship Soul Transformation to the second stage, it was completely exhausted. At present, Fang Yu had no reserves of Divine Essence in his panel.
Luckily, his ship Soul Transformation had already advanced to the second stage, and Fang Yu didn’t have an immediate need for Divine Essence.
After sorting out the resources stored in his panel, Fang Yu nodded.
The future would require resource accumulation, so planning needed to commence early.
He sent a message to Luu Yuan, asking him to monitor market prices and acquisition channels for these three resources.
After that, Fang Yu eased his mind and devoted his attention to the Blood Refining Skill sent by Cheng Peng.
The so-called Blood Refining Skill wasn’t something akin to the secret techniques of fantasy novels Fang Yu had anticipated.
In reality, the Blood Refining Skill was about refining Essence of Flesh and Blood, extracting substances from it that a ship could absorb, then delivering them for the ship to use—a special refining skill.
Moreover, this refining skill had no technical difficulty, nor any concept of advanced or basic levels, like refining steel materials, it was essentially an open and transparent method.
No wonder Peng said it wasn’t valuable; there were plenty of guides on forums if you searched for it.
After studying it for a while, Fang Yu grasped the Blood Refining Skill and took out one kilogram of Essence of Flesh and Blood, placing it on a tray. Then, the power level within him quietly circulated and was released.
Soon, the red, foul-smelling Essence of Flesh and Blood on the tray began to boil.
It emitted a pungent odor, like the smell of rotting meat being boiled.
Fang Yu frowned slightly, held his breath, quickly opened a window to let the sea breeze into the captain’s cabin, while maintaining a steady power output on the tray with his other hand.
About five minutes passed.
As the Essence of Flesh and Blood in the tray was continuously refined, the previously nauseating stench gradually disappeared.
