Seizing a Ship from the Start: I Take a Group of Little Girls to Build a Sect

At the ghost market on Qingyun Continent, Lin Hao spots a broken ship at a glance. They agree on a price of ten spirit stones, but the old man suddenly raises it. Lin Hao immediately throws down the money, snatches the ship, and runs, only to take an iron rod to the back. The blood on his palm somehow awakens the ship’s spirit But what emerges isn’t an ethereal, immortal sage. It’s Zhouzhou, a seven- or eight-year-old girl with pigtails, hands on her hips as she glares at him. “You’re only at the fifth level of Qi Refining and you still dare to steal? The previous Host was a hundred times stronger than you!” Lin Hao: “...Little ancestor, don’t write me off just yet. Let’s use this busted ship to steal enough spirit stones to build a sect that can throw its weight around!” From then on, the cultivation world gains an oddball duo: The hero plays dirty and targets only villains. He raids secret realms and intercepts supplies, and when he can’t win, he makes a run for it in the ship, making sure to swipe his opponent’s storage bag before he goes. The ship spirit acts as his guide. She calls him a “stupid Host,” but in a crisis, she always points out secret passages and activates the defenses, helping him turn “stolen resources” into keys to unlock the ship’s halls. From stealing low-grade spirit stones from Greencloud Sect’s outer disciples to turning the tables on Foundation Establishment elders who come to seize his ship; from a broken vessel where they can only huddle in the main hall to a mobile sect with its Pill Hall and Artifact Hall unlocked. Lin Hao pats the deck and laughs. “Zhouzhou, look at that. We built this sect by stealing!” Zhouzhou lies on his shoulder and mutters under her breath, “I’m the one who helped you steal it all...” Other people cultivate through hard work. I’m building a sect ship through robbery, taking a little girl with me as we sweep across the heavens. Whoever comes to steal my ship, I’ll take everything they own!
