"I really haven't heard of it. I just know that the Zuo Island Master wants to make some human friends." Sang Li said.
"I'm making a wild guess. The black-skinned tribe has revived in the Xitong Sea area, and it is a general trend to interact with the human race. Zuo Island Master may have this consideration." Gu Zimu interjected.
"It's interesting." Xue Tong touched his chin and said slowly.
He thought that he had helped to some extent by getting rid of the fish monsters on Pansong Island, and the Zuo Island owner would not cause trouble as soon as he came up.
"Okay, let's go visit the Zuo Island Master." Xue Tong said.
"Great, I'll make arrangements right now."
Xue Tong put away the coelacanth monster, eliminated the trouble for others, and returned the victory to himself. This is the only law of Taoism. There is no need to pretend to be a good person and send it to Pansong Island.
There was no complete animal corpse left in his storage bag.
A rather exquisite ship docked at the dock. Sang Li and Gu Zimu accompanied Xue Tong to Hanxu Island, which was seven hundred miles away.
"Tell us more about the situation of the black-skinned people. Why are they in Xitonghai, while the blue-skinned people are far away in the dark cloud sea 30,000 miles away?" Xue Tong asked while admiring the beautiful scenery.
"Well, the black and blue have always been at odds with each other. The conflict intensified thousands of years ago. However, the territorial waters and territories are still close to each other. Basically, they use east and west as the boundary to divide Wanyu."
"After the population of the human race increased, the power of the Hai Clan continued to shrink. Taoist priest Xue also knew that the human race was good at calculations, scheming, and tactics, while the intellectual superiority of the Hai Clan was reflected in sea conditions, weather predictions, and danger perception. Isn't this right? After being able to outfight the human race, and coupled with internal strife, it’s not surprising that the territory is gradually being lost.”
"The dark-skinned one is gradually heading west, and the blue-skinned one is gradually heading east. The farther they are, the further apart they are."
"Blue-skin finally formed an alliance with the Holy State, and the territory is much larger than ours. Black-skin was suppressed by the Island Alliance. Compared with when the Island Alliance was first established a few years ago, the territory was reduced by 70%. It recovered a little after the war."
Sang Li finished speaking in one breath and took a sip of spiritual tea to soothe his throat.
"Well, the palm banana decisive battle is a huge benefit to the dark-skinned people." Xue Tong said.
"Hehe, you can't blame us. It's your own fault. Nowadays, the island alliance's warriors have been greatly reduced, and the marginal islands have been abandoned. It's normal for Black Skin to regain some of its lost territory."
Xue Tong suddenly became alarmed and said, "Does the Zuo Island Master want me to help him seize the territory?"
Sang Li was speechless. Gu Zimu frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Probably not. I have never heard of any precedent of uniting the human race to seize the island."
Xue Tong thought: "When I was in the Island Alliance, I didn't even ask for the island. I definitely wouldn't do anything to help the Hai Clan grab territory!"
"What level is Master Zuo in the clan?" Xue Tong asked.
"Zuo Baida's position is commander. The Hai clan is divided into four levels: chief, clan elder, commander, and captain. The commander and captain who occupy the island can also be called the island owner."
After three hours of sailing, there was a medium-sized island in front of us.
Sang Li's sea falcon has brought the information to Hanxu Island, and Zhu Long, Zuo Baida's deputy, greets him at the pier.
Zhu Long looked displeased, his eyes barely stopping on Sang Gu and the two of them. He looked Xue Tong up and down and said flatly: "Welcome, Fellow Daoist Xue."
He looked down on Sang Li, and Zuo Baida ordered him to come to pick up people, so his impression of Xue Tong was careless.
"Thank you, Vice Commander Zhu, for welcoming me," Xue Tong said.
In addition to Zuo Baida, there is also a young woman from the Hai tribe in the commanding mansion built with yellow stone.
There is not much difference in appearance among the Hai people. The men are all tall and slender, while the women are tall and have particularly graceful figures.
The woman's deep purple eyelashes perfectly match her golden eyes and light dark skin.
However, Xue Tong has no feelings for the Hai Clan, after all, the ethnic groups are different.
Zuo Baida was in his fifties, with an unexpected temperament, without the majestic and brave attitude of a leader, with a kind smile, and he was at the peak of acquired cultivation.
"I heard from Sang Li that fellow Daoist Xue was an extraordinary warrior and he killed the coelacanth monster neatly."
"It's okay," Xue Tong said politely, dragging out the fish monster from the storage bag.
The big hole in the fish's head was shocking. Zhu Long, who was both an acquired master, had his eyes widened, while Sang Gu and the other two laughed and felt very proud.
The Sea Clan woman's eyebrows knitted together, "Dad, don't believe in the human race anymore. Who knows if it's just a lie!"
"Don't talk nonsense, Dad knows the goods."
"This is my little girl Zuo Yuan, don't mind, fellow Taoist." Zuo Baida said with a hint of apology.
"It's okay, Commander Zuo invites human warriors to Hanxu Island. May I ask what you want?"
"Well, Fellow Daoist Xue is very refreshing. Zuo Mou said it bluntly. The sea island is small and spiritual materials are scarce on land. However, there are abundant spiritual materials in the sea. The human race is just the opposite."
"The Black-skinned Sea Clan didn't interact with the human race in the past. Now that the conditions are better, I'm going to open a shop in the human race's territory to exchange what we need."
Xue Tong's eyes lit up, "What a great idea!"
He was in urgent need of resources, and opening a shop for land and sea business was an excellent way to obtain spiritual objects.
"Can you handle the affairs of the human race?" Zuo Yuan suddenly asked loudly, very impatiently.
"It's settled. Who dares to cause trouble, unless his head is harder than the head of a stickleback!" Xue Tong couldn't help but half-jokingly said.
"Dad, we can't open any more stores. This road is blocked." Zuo Yuan ignored Xue Tong and tried to persuade Zuo Baida.
"With the support of Commander Zuo, the store will definitely open!" Xue Tong countered.
Zuo Baida's expression tightened, and he lost his amiable expression, and said solemnly: "Hanxudao has suffered losses. People who said they could handle it later couldn't handle it. All kinds of messy things happened. In the end, the store closed at a loss. This time we need to increase the amount of money." The human race's partnership fund has been lost by everyone, how much can fellow Taoists contribute?"
"Oh...what was it last time?" Xue Tong asked.
"Five million spiritual stones!" Zhu Long said.
"Xue offered 600,000, that's all we have, and I think you need this." After Xue Tong finished speaking, he took out three magic weapons.
"Golden Diamond Tiger Head Spear", "Three-stranded Dragon Beard Fork", "Double-headed Silver Snake Shield".
"Oh" Sang Li's eyes shone, and Zuo Baida's expression softened. The black-skinned sea tribe was in dire need of magic weapons, and the important purpose of opening the store was to make up for the long-standing debt of magic weapons.
"Well, how do you sell Daoyou Xue's magic weapon?" Zuo Baida asked.
"I know you want to buy spiritual materials to refine your own weapons. I will sell them at the price of the materials, which is fifty thousand for three pieces."
Zuo Baida completely regained her composure and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay!"
"The Sea Clan has killed a lot of sea monsters. To raise spiritual pets, inner elixirs are needed. Commander Zuo has some in stock. Let's sell a few to Xue Tong."
"There isn't much in stock, only thirty thousand pieces."
Xue Tong bought two and laughed: "Look, the first business has already been completed before the store is opened."
A group of people laughed heartily.
Xue Tong proposed to open a store on "Fujiao Island" 2,600 miles away. Fujiao Island is medium-sized, but the average mileage from several nearby large human islands is the shortest.
He even has a grand plan.
Xue Tong knew that the shrewd Zuo Baida was not just trying to lead the tribe, but was finding another way to try to build a connection between the Black-skinned Sea Tribe and the Human Tribe.
…
One month later, a large ship arrived at Fujiao Island Pier, and Xue Tong, Zhu Long, Du Guanyuan and a group of sea people arrived.
Du Guanyuan is the steward of the governor's mansion, and Zuo Baida has high hopes for opening the store and sends elite soldiers and generals.
Xue Tong deliberately walked behind.
"Half a month of docking," Du Guanyuan said to the guy collecting money at the dock.
"Two thousand spiritual stones." The clerk stretched out his hand to signal for payment.
"Go and call your boss!" Xue Tong suddenly appeared and shouted sternly.
The guy was stunned and hesitated: "Senior..."
"The boat is mine, you are asking for death by collecting money randomly!"
Based on Xue Tong's experience, when the Island Alliance was prosperous, the charges for this ship and this pier would never exceed one thousand. However, with fewer people moving around after the war, it will only become cheaper.
The guy was just bullying the Hai people who didn't know what they were doing, didn't want to do anything, and just kept raising prices.
"Eight...hundred" the dock clerk trembled.
"Is there an owner of this island?" Xue Tong asked.
"Senior, no!"
"Whose jurisdiction is it?"
"Yang Mingxuan, the owner of the Iron Anchor Island of Xihua Island"
"Get out of here!" Xue Tong threw out eight hundred spirit stone bags.
"The human race is really cunning, and even a small warrior dares to be cunning." Zhu Long said angrily.
"Maybe the people who were doing business with you in the past have teamed up with outsiders to take advantage of your money behind the scenes. The Dark-skinned Sea Tribe has too little contact with the Human Tribe, so I don't know." Xue Tong patted Zhu Long on the shoulder and said.
"You two just wait and see what I can do!"
Xue Tong bought a garden, and a signboard of "Xitong Trading Company" was hung up on the third-floor shop facing the street.
Fireworks were set off for three nights in a row.
Bai Ze asked Haizu to redecorate the store and paint the store walls.
The strange black-skinned sea people and the gorgeous fireworks at night immediately caused a sensation across the island.
When it opened, countless people poured into the store. A large number of martial arts spiritual materials unique to the Sea Clan were displayed in the store at discounted prices.
Xue Tong recruited people on the spot and selected a few high-level martial arts disciples who were pleasing to his taste and kept them as shop assistants.
With his acquired status as a senior, it would be a piece of cake to recruit a few followers.
Only three days later, the trouble Xue Tong expected came.
The neighborhood of Xitong Commercial Bank was deserted, and four of the six clerks left without saying goodbye.
"The Xitong Trading Company robbed Yang Mingxuan's business. Yang did not dare to look for trouble head on, so he sent Zhao Zhao secretly to release the news, warning the martial arts disciples in the area not to secretly liaise with the Hai Clan." Xue Tong sneered.
"You guys wait, I'm going to Xihua Island!"
"Fellow Taoist, make sure you go one by one," Du Guanyuan said worriedly.
"I'll handle the human race's affairs, and you go and tell the truth. The more things get talked about, the more things get complicated."
After Xue Tong finished speaking, he rose from the clouds and flew to Xihua Island, four hundred miles away.
Xihua Island is thousands of miles away from the mainland. Xue Tong is not afraid of Yang Mingxuan causing trouble. He has already found out clearly that in the later days of Yang Mingxuan, even if he finds a few more helpers, is it possible that there are innate warriors in such a ghost place as Xihua Island?
"If there were, I would have taken the initiative to drive them away!"
