Looking at the "Thunderbolt," Liu Yu's eyes flickered, and his thoughts burned with intensity.
As if sensing his thoughts, Guo Poyun chuckled and threw a bucket of cold water on him, conveying through voice transmission, "The refinement of high-level spiritual ships is even more difficult than that of magical treasures, with extremely high requirements for the refiner."
"Even ordinary artifact masters are far from meeting the requirements of refining spiritual ships."
"The refiner must be proficient in multiple arts of immortality cultivation, including artifact path, formation path, and talisman path, especially in artifact and formation paths, where mastery is a must."
"The key techniques are firmly controlled by major forces. Currently, only the major divine transformation factions can cultivate such 'ship masters.'"
"Moreover, the number of third-stage or above spiritual ships released is tightly controlled by the major forces, making it impossible to purchase them even with spiritual stones."
"One must exchange for them using extremely rare resources."
Upon reaching this point, the person sighed lightly.
Although the Central Domain is rich in resources, most of the cultivation resources are held by the Qian Court, the Holy Land, aristocratic families, and sects, which is very unfavorable for small forces and loose cultivators.
Unable to obtain enough resources, the situation of loose cultivators is not much better than that in the Four Domains.
Fortunately, the Central Domain has abundant resources, and the base of loose cultivators is larger than in the Four Domains, so many geniuses still emerge.
They form small alliances to prevent their situation from becoming even more difficult, oppressed further by the long-standing major forces.
"Mm."
Liu Yu nodded gently, not surprised that high-level spiritual ships are monopolized by major forces.
After all, the monopoly of the upper class over the lower class can almost be said to be instinctual, including but not limited to resources, knowledge, and so on.
"However, to obtain a fourth-stage spiritual ship, a Thousand-Year Spirit Grass should be sufficient, right?"
"Perhaps I could use the Immortal Abode to hasten the growth of a few exceptionally rare Thousand-Year Spirit Grasses and see if I can exchange for it?"
"Thinking about this now is still a bit premature; this matter needs to be planned over a long term."
As various thoughts flashed through, Liu Yu's heart lake gradually calmed, and he completely composed himself.
According to Guo Poyun, the requirements for refining high-level spiritual ships are almost harsh, demanding proficiency in several arts of immortality cultivation.
The refining materials for certain "key components" of spiritual ships are also as rare as high-level spiritual objects.
Moreover, the refining process is time-consuming; if any step goes wrong, it could lead to total loss.
Such heavy costs will undoubtedly make high-level spiritual ships extremely rare, making it impossible for ordinary forces to even qualify for attempts.
Even yuan ying sects are far from being qualified.
The successful methods of refining fourth-stage spiritual ships are still being explored even by major divine transformation-level forces.
Only the Qian Court and the Holy Land can venture into the realm of reliably constructing fourth-stage spiritual ships!
...
After a brief exchange between the two members of the Zhang Clan, tranquility gradually returned to the forest.
At this time, the small group divisions had been preliminarily completed, and everyone was starting to quiet down.
In the silence, time slowly passed, and over a hundred golden core cultivators patiently awaited the arrival of the last guardian.
The great sun slanted to the west and finally descended below the horizon, leaving only a few lingering red rays.
This time, the wait was not long; Liu Yu's keen spiritual perception was stirred.
Looking up, he saw a pure green luminescence cutting through the darkness, flying straight towards them.
