"Where do fellow Taoists come from? Do you know that Hengfeng Island will soon become the territory of Island Master Wei?" Meng Jiao with a beard said.
"Old Killer Whale Island Master Wei is useful. If you say you want to stay, you can stay." Hu Yang was more courageous and not very afraid of people coming from other places.
"This is a mortal fishing village. Do the people in Wanyu's Mysterious Realm bully ordinary people like you do?" Xue Tong frowned and said.
The villagers immediately complained. Hu and Meng were acting unruly and bullying ordinary people.
"Hurry up and leave. If you tell such a shameless thing, Island Master Wei will lose face." Xue Tong waved his hand and said.
There is no excuse for a warrior to bully a mortal.
Hu and Meng glanced at each other, neither paying attention nor being able to defeat Xue Tong. For a while, they ran out of ideas.
Seeing that the two of them were not giving up, Xue Tong took two steps forward and blasted out a large, round thunderball.
The thunder bead flew up to thirty feet away from the sea surface, then crashed into the sea and exploded violently, causing waves four to five feet high.
"Can you leave?" Xue Tong said solemnly.
Hu and Meng couldn't get any better, so they had to leave in despair.
"Wow!"
The bully left, and the villagers of Jingshui burst into cheers. Everyone rushed forward, grabbed Xue Tong and thanked him profusely.
Xue Tong was welcomed into the home by the village chief and treated as an honored guest. Ren Anlian helped settle Duan Gu, and hurried over and sat by the door, his face red and white, shy and uneasy.
"When we saw an injustice on the road, we came to help. On behalf of the whole village, I would like to express my gratitude." The village chief said to Xue Tong after explaining the matter of delivering the letter.
"The village chief said something serious. Xue helped me a little, so there is no need to be polite again."
Xue Tong asked about the situation in Jingshui Village, especially the dispute between the two island owners. From the village chief's chatter, he finally clarified the situation roughly.
Wei Sheng and Zhuang Xinyi are both the owners of Muanchor Island. Zhuang Xinyi has little influence, and his territory is gradually being encroached on by Wei Da. Hu and Meng have done evil things by forcibly dividing their catch. Jingshui Village has sent a message to Yanxin Island two months ago. For some reason, Zhuang Xinyi turned a blind eye and ignored it.
Zhuang Xinyi seemed to have given up on Hengfeng Island, and the villagers of Jingshui accepted Wei Sheng's bullying. No one could care about it anyway.
"With Taoist Xue's ability, why not go to Yanxin Island to visit the owner of Zhuang Island and find a job?" the village chief suggested.
"No, I'll stay in the village for a while and continue to the inner island."
Xue Tong just wanted to wait for the two island owners to come and leave after getting results.
"How far is Yanxin Island from here?" Xue Tong asked.
"It's not far, one hundred and fifty miles away. It's already late today. If the Taoist leader wants to go, we'll send you a boat tomorrow morning."
Everyone greatly praised Ren Anlian's bravery and sincerity, and comforted her before leaving.
Xue Tong chatted with the village chief until late at night.
The island owners of Wanyu re-register every five years and pay spiritual stones according to level. There are many owners of Muzhu Island. The more peripheral the island owners are, the poorer they are. The small island they occupy is lacking in resources. They rely on seafood and spiritual objects to earn spiritual stones. .
Xue Tong asked the village chief to recall the approximate amount of amber grass, seafood and other spiritual objects that were handed over to the island owner every year.
…
Hefeng Island, Ji Pharmacy.
There are three large medicine cauldrons, each with a diameter of more than two feet. The yellow-brown medicine liquid inside the cauldron is rolling, gurgling with sticky bubbles, and exuding a choking medicinal smell.
Meng Jiao threw in bundles of sea amber grass, bowed and asked the middle-aged man beside him: "Master, is the concentration of sea amber liquid enough? Do you want to add more?"
"Add, add one hundred catties to each cauldron, and cook for ten days."
Wei Sheng stroked his goat's beard and stared at the sea amber liquid.
"Yes, including the amber grass collected from Pingbo Village, it is barely enough, otherwise it would have been time-consuming and laborious to send people to collect it."
"Well, next time you go to a fishing village, in addition to amber grass, you should pay special attention to the presence of blue sage. When the weather comes, most of the blue sage will emerge from the sea."
"Yes, Master, we have tested it several times recently, and Zhuang Xinyi seems to be silent. I wonder what kind of medicine he is selling in his gourd."
"Hmph, what else can he do? The situation is over, and the wooden anchor can no longer hold up."
"I've already given him a lot of face. I just want to wait a little longer until he announces his retirement."
"Master, what kind of foreign warriors are there? This person seems to have high strength, and a thunder bead is big and powerful." Meng Jiao said.
"If I go to Hengfeng Island tomorrow, this person should still be there."
After Wei Sheng finished speaking, he pointed to the burning flint under the medicine cauldron, "Let the people below control the fire temperature, replenish the fuel in time, and check it every hour."
"yes"
…
The next day, a large ship arrived at the south bank of Hengfeng, bringing Zhuang Xinyi, the owner of Muanchang Island, and his entourage.
Zhuang Xin is in her fifties, wearing a blue robe, gray hair, light eyebrows and droopy eyes, and a long and thin face with several deep diagonal lines.
He retreated and chatted with Xue Tong alone, "Fellow Daoist Xue helped the villagers of Jingshui by driving away the evildoers, and he also helped me."
"Master Zhuang, you're welcome."
Zhuang Xinyi sighed, "To be honest with you fellow Taoist, Yanxin Island has been in a recession in recent years. I have been too crazy about practicing and neglected to take care of it. As a result, the lazy people inside have been perfunctory and the outsiders have caused chaos."
"Wei Sheng raised a group of thugs to cause trouble in my land. I have endured it for a long time. Fellow Taoist arrived just in time. Zhuang Xinyi plans to hire fellow Taoist as a guest to help manage the islands."
"Oh" Zhuang Xinyi's words were beyond Xue Tong's expectation.
"It's just that Yanxin Island doesn't have abundant products. Usually, I'm afraid it's difficult to provide the spirit stone for the guest. If you don't mind, Taoist friends, the two villages of Jingshui and Pingbo will be under your control, and Ping's commission doesn't need to be handed over to Mr. Zhuang."
"What do you think of the conditions, Fellow Daoist Xue?" Zhuang Xinyi asked.
"Xue has no intention of being a guest. He plans to go to the inland as soon as possible and stay for half a month before leaving." Xue Tong declined politely.
"The inland situation is complex and the outer sea is free. Zhuang can provide an uninhabited island for fellow Taoists to live. Why not?" Zhuang Xinyi persuaded.
"Oh" Xue Tong was greatly surprised. It seemed that Zhuang Xinyi was very sincere.
"The dispute between island owners in the mainland is ten times more serious than that in the open sea. To be honest, it's better for people of your level and me not to get involved. Fellow Daoist Xue also occupied the island and settled in the mainland. It's better to settle here as the risk is much smaller." Zhuang Seeing Xue Tong's hesitation, Xin quickly persuaded him.
"It's fine for Xue to stay for a while first, but I don't need your name and title as a guest. I won't care about anything except Hengfeng Island. Can the owner of Zhuang Island agree?"
Zhuang Xinyi chuckled and said, "Okay."
After speaking, he took out Zhang Haitu for Xue Tong to choose from.
Xue Tong chose a small island eighty miles away from Yanxin Island and a hundred miles away from Hengfeng Island among five or six islands, named Chunyun Island.
Chunyun Island is a real small island, similar to a hill in the sea, three miles from east to west and two miles from north to south. Except for the lush forests, the island is deserted. Xue Tong is very satisfied. This is the place he wants.
"I saw that Taoist friend's name post seems to be from overseas Aowu country," Zhuang Xinyi asked.
"Well, I've been staying there for a long time, and I want to come to Wanyu to try to develop." Xue Tong didn't know about other continents, and called himself the Aowu family. Aowu country is 60,000 to 70,000 miles away from Wanyu. Who knows who he is.
"Haha, Zhuang has never been to the outside world. This is the first time Ao Wu Kingdom has heard of it."
"Well, far away, Xue wandered on the sea for a year, almost in despair. Fortunately, he stopped at Wanyu Island."
While he was talking, someone shouted from outside the village chief’s house: “Island Master Zhuang, Island Master Wei is here!”
Wei Sheng took six or seven people with him and arrived at the island in a furious manner.
"Whose name is this Taoist priest? Why did he interfere in the affairs of Hefeng and Yanxin islands?" Wei Sheng blamed.
"This is Master Xue from the Aowu Kingdom in the outer continent. He passed by Jingshui Village and saw your two idle disciples bullying the villagers. He persuaded them to leave with good words. He was already very polite." Zhuang Xinyi said sarcastically.
"Island Master Wei's disciples injured the villagers. Xue Tong really can't stand it. I think the island master should be okay with saving people and ending the fight." Seeing Wei Sheng come to the door, Xue Tong played into his own ambitions and hoped for a peaceful solution.
"The villagers are unruly and it is understandable to use necessary means. Zhuang Xinyi, the matter of Hengfeng Island being transferred to the owner of the island that was negotiated last time has not changed, right?" Wei Sheng said.
"There has been a change. Island Master Wei treated the islanders harshly. I have placed Hengfeng Island under the control of Taoist Xue, regardless of the agreement between you and me." Zhuang Xin lifted Xue Tong out and pushed him back.
"Things have to be solved," Xue Tong thought. He was already prepared for Wei Sheng to cause trouble.
"Really?" Wei Sheng stared at Xue Tong sideways, waiting for him to speak.
"Island Master Wei might as well give up the Amber Grass Seafood. Xue Tong knows some alchemy and can make elixirs for the two island masters for free. The spirit stone will be worth it."
"You say it lightly, who would believe it?" Wei Sheng said.
"Xue Tong lives on Chunyun Island and cannot handle Island Master Wei's affairs. The Island Master will not be too late to start trouble again." Xue Tong intended to expand the cultivation of elixirs and collected the elixirs to make elixirs, improve his elixir skills and resolve disputes, killing two birds with one stone.
"No!" Wei Sheng shouted.
He cannot tolerate an outsider ruining his good deeds.
"How?" Xue Tong secretly laughed.
"Just win with the sword in the hands of the owner of this island!" Wei Sheng immediately pulled out a four-foot-three-inch long sword.
"Oh, a top-grade magical weapon, the Willow Leaf Cloak Knife." Xue Tong's eyes lit up.
Zhuang Xin frowned. Ever since Wei Sheng asked someone to make this sword, he had frequently caused troubles by relying on the advantage of the magical weapon, forcing him to withdraw from Hengfeng Island. Now, if he threatens with this sword again, it seems that he will succeed again.
"If you know what's going on, get out of here!" Wei Sheng said proudly.
Xue Tong glanced at the surrounding villagers. The village chief's nervousness was written on his face, while Ren Anlian's eyes were dull, looking desperate.
Once Xue Tong is defeated, most of these people will have to leave Hengfeng and change their homes.
"The magic weapon is good!" Xue Tong patted the storage bag, holding the green goose-winged sword tightly in his hand.
He stabbed the sky hard, and a thick green blade rushed up with an astonishing momentum.
The Chentie Yanchiju is made by the best weapon refiner in Aowu Imperial City, and its quality is even higher than that of the cloak knife.
Xue Tongjiu used 100% of the force in his killing move to intimidate his opponent.
"The sword has no eyes. If Island Master Wei doesn't mind, let's have a fist fight. If Xue Tong loses, get out immediately."
Xue Tong knew that as long as he won this battle in a gentler way, Hengfeng and Chunyun Islands would be his.
Winning against Wei Sheng is nothing more than taking something from the pocket.
Wei Sheng's heart shrank. The magical weapon he was proud of was not at an advantage. Xue Tong's ruthless moves were obviously stronger. There was no guarantee that he would win in a fist fight.
But competition is always a competition, so how can we admit defeat directly?
"Okay, let's ask fellow Taoist Xue for his tips!" Wei Sheng put his sword in his pocket and took a stance.
