Fujiao Island became an ownerless island the moment Yang Mingxuan escaped. It was natural for the Hai Clan to occupy the island, carry out large-scale construction projects, and devote all their efforts to support the trading company.
The list of Daohui spiritual objects brought back by Zuo Yuan made the Hai Clan feel that the trading company had great potential. Zuo Baida moved around and finally led to a meeting of clan elders to take over the trading company in the name of the Hai Clan.
Various security systems were deployed in the inner garden of the trading company, the warehouse was dug deep into the ground, and the old business camp of the Jian clan was established. Not even Xue Tong could enter these places.
Xue Tong's yard is across the street, and he is happy to just enjoy his share without caring about money and property, avoiding trivial matters and worries.
Xue Tong doesn't care how much profit the business makes or how much dividends it pays. As long as the channels for obtaining spiritual objects are smooth and he has a background as a distinguished guest from the Sea Clan, that's enough.
Yan Zhaolie led a team of troops to garrison Fujiao Island. Unless there were very special circumstances, the possibility of the business being disturbed or destroyed was extremely small.
The Zuo family successfully retired, but Du Guanyuan stayed. He knew the situation well and assisted the people sent by the clan elders association to manage the business.
Pang Xun intercepted more than a hundred spiritual materials in the island society. The shortage of spiritual materials in the sea area under his jurisdiction was slightly alleviated, but this was far from satisfying his appetite. The clan elders' takeover felt like it was cutting off his financial path. He could only obey and leave. Shi Shi glared at Xue Tong unwillingly.
Xue Tong shrugged and said casually: "The Pang people come here often. Fujiao Island has beautiful scenery, and some interesting things often happen. For example, Shou Junxiong was greedy and missed his life."
Xue Tong's implicit warning was self-evident, and Pang Xunpi smiled and laughed, "Let's come to Fujiao Island for a grand event and have a few drinks with Taoist Xue."
"well!"
…
Three months passed in a flash, and a strange visitor came to Xue Tong's house.
Lu Jingyang, the younger brother of Gandu Island Lord Lin Yanlong.
"Master Xue, I have something to ask of you on Gandu Island," Lu Jingyang said straight to the point.
After speaking, he handed over a piece of paper with the names of two elixirs written on it, "Five-Toed Seahorse" and "Yefu Grass".
"Island Master Lin has been searching hard for the elixir, but he can't find it. Island Master Xue has great supernatural powers. Can you help me find it? Gandu Island is willing to provide 50,000 spiritual stones for each elixir."
"Oh." When Xue Tong saw the name of the elixir, he guessed that Lin Yanlong seemed to be refining a fourth-grade healing elixir called "Longjing Blood Pill".
Thinking about Lin Yanlong and Lu Dingjun's unwillingness to go to Fujiao Island for a meeting, Xue Tong had a rough outline.
Of course he would not point it out, and said after a moment of silence: "Two kinds of elixirs are rare. I asked Du Guanyuan to pay attention to the five-toed seahorse, and ask the sea tribe for help if necessary. As for the terrestrial elixir of the grass, we can only get it after the trading company receives the goods. .”
"On behalf of Senior Brother Lin, I would like to thank Island Master Xue!" Lu Jingyang bowed deeply and left a deposit of 10,000 spirit stones.
"Island Master Lin's cultivation is..." Xue Tong asked when he saw Lu Jingyang was leaving.
"Senior brother Houtian Peak, who practices more diligently, has also gone out to look for medicine, but to no avail." Lu Jingyang said.
…
"The invitation was rejected last time. Steward Du once said that Lin and Lu might have participated in the naval battle. They fled to the southwest because of the murder and occupied Dokdo. They ignored the outside affairs." Xue Tong called Du Guanyuan and said .
"Well, it seems that Lin Yanlong is injured and needs to take Longjing Blood Pills." Du Guanyuan nodded.
"What is a five-toed seahorse?" Xue Tong asked.
"Seahorses have no legs, but five-toed seahorses rarely have two legs with five toes at the end."
"have you seen"
"I have seen it four or five times. This spiritual fish is a formula of various elixirs. A three-foot-tall seahorse is worth tens of thousands." Du Guanyuan said.
"Please pay more attention. If there are any spiritual objects sent by the Sea Clan, buy them for me."
"good!"
Xitong Trading Company has nothing to do for the time being, Xue Tong is going to go out and take the initiative to collect spiritual objects.
He asked to see Yan Zhaolie and said hello: "Old Nine Clan, now the business is on the right track and in good order. Xue Tong plans to go to the mainland to expand the influence of Fujiao Island."
"Xue Xiaoyou, just remember to rush back in October. Don't forget the second island party."
"I remember, I asked the clan elders for advice. When we first met, the clan elders said that Xue Tong had practiced body refining. I dare to ask how I knew that."
"I heard the story about you quickly killing the high-ranking Hou Tian, and I was dubious. I wanted to try it myself to verify it, but the aura you exuded showed that it was powerful, so I believed it."
"This kind of sensitivity is only available to innate warriors. At that time, I felt like you were a stone man, and your body was extremely strong."
"Oh, then it's hard to hide Xue Tong's strength in front of Xiantian," Xue Tong frowned.
"Well, once Xiantian encounters you, he will most likely regard you as a threat and will not treat you carelessly." Yan Zhaolie nodded.
"This is not a good thing!" Xue Tong thought.
"Thanks for the advice from the Nine Clan Elders. I'm going out and want to bring a Sea Clan token to invite people to the Fujiao Island Meeting."
"Well, this gold-rimmed black bone is beautifully made and made of innate-level bone. Take it and use it."
A palm-sized square domino with gold-filled grooves on the outer ring, a clan flag pattern on the front, a deep sea pattern on the back, and a golden thunder light on the horizon.
After Xue Tong finished instructing Du Guanyuan and Wen Guangmao, they left the island by boat.
He was going to the sixth island circle eight thousand miles away, where Wanyu made his fortune, to meet Wu Qiang's old friends.
…
After five days, Feiyu Island.
He Dachong, the owner of Feiyu Island, is a vassal of Iron Anchor Wu Qiang. Both of them are Xue Tong's old acquaintances.
However, Feiyu Island is a desolate scene. There are only islanders working normally and no warriors.
The islands along the way that we were familiar with in the past were all the same, and there were no martial arts practitioners.
Until he arrived at Wu Qiang's main island.
"Senior, Island Master Wu is not here. He has gone to Hefeng Island."
Xue Tong was overjoyed that Wu Qiang survived the naval battle and returned to the original island.
Hu Yang and Meng Jiao from Hefeng Island were on duty outside the villa. Yuan Yuan came riding a cloud and had no intention of stopping to ask for an audience.
Meng Jiao fired a fireball and shouted loudly: "Get down quickly. If you break in again, the warning will be triggered. It's serious!"
The two of them were at their peak as martial arts disciples. When they saw that the person coming was flying in the clouds, unlike ordinary people, they kept their words restrained.
Xue Tong slowly fell down, "Immediately report to you, Island Master Wei, that Xue Tong is visiting."
"Ah!" Hu and Meng's eyes widened and they were almost speechless.
After the dispute in Jingshui Village, the two of them never had any dealings with Xue Tong. They only knew that he had killed Sun Tongren and was very skilled in alchemy, so he could not afford to offend him.
I didn't expect to meet today, and Xue Tong's level...
"Junior... take Island Master Xue directly in!" Hu Yang was smart and simply called himself junior and led people into the village happily.
"Oh, Island Master Xue is back, please hurry up!" Wu Qiang was the first to respond, replacing Wei Shengyou.
"Please have a seat, please have a seat. Congratulations to Island Master Xue on his promotion!" Wei Sheng's face was filled with excitement and surprise.
The two of them were late in life, and their more than nine years of martial arts training can be considered a small achievement.
Xue Tong learned more detailed information about the naval battle from Wu Qiang.
The palm banana teleportation array was left behind by the Blue-skinned Sea Clan thousands of years ago. The activation spell was lost and unexpectedly reappeared more than ten years ago. On the night when the teleportation array was activated, Liu Tingyan and the people in the village were all poisoned by senior members of the Blue-skinned Clan.
After Shengbang and the Hai tribe accumulated enough force on Palm Jiao Island, they besieged Tianfeng Island...
During the naval battle, Wu Qiang saw Hao Xinghuai die in battle, and was frightened and sneaked away, while Ling Haoying's whereabouts were unknown.
The sea area formerly controlled by the three anchors became depressed after the war. Hao and Ling's subordinates moved to the inner islands one after another. He Dachong also left Feiyu Island half a year ago.
"Why don't you two leave?" Xue Tong asked.
"We did have the idea of leaving. After several discussions, it was not easy to move due to the large number of disciples and their families." Wu Qiang sighed.
"There is really no suitable place to go. Moreover, the waters between the Five and Six Islands are increasingly dangerous, and pirates are rampant. The target of a single person is small, but once they form a fleet, they are extremely vulnerable to attack."
"I heard that many island owners with their entire families were massacred by thieves!"
"Today, there is chaos and no order at all." Wei Sheng said with a sad look on his face.
"But keeping it is not an option. The two of us are not very powerful. Maybe one day the thieves will directly land on the island and plunder it." Wu Qiang said.
"Now we are discussing and living on the same island, so we can take more care of each other!"
After Wei Sheng finished speaking, he asked: "How has Island Master Xue been doing in the past few years? He plans to come back."
"I was scared away like Island Master Wu during the naval battle. This time I came to see my old friend and will leave in a few days." Xue Tong said.
He was thinking about whether to invite the two of them to Fujiao Island to expand his power.
"It would be great if Island Master Xue is willing to come back. In this case, there is no need to go far away and he can stay and develop." Wu Qiang said.
"What's the situation on Yanxin and Hengfeng Islands?" Xue Tong asked.
"Everyone on Yanxin Island has left. The islanders of Jingshui and Pingbo are even better than before. The island alliance no longer searches for spiritual stones, so the so-called island owners don't need to exploit the islanders ruthlessly."
"The Duan family has two sons and one daughter. Island Master Xue will go and have a look." Wei Sheng was familiar with Xue Tong's past with the villagers and said specifically.
"No, don't disturb their peaceful life." Xue Tong waved his hand. The gap between the mysterious and secular worlds was difficult to bridge. Friendships between martial cultivators and mortals could not last forever. It was gratifying to be able to retain a beautiful memory.
He rolled his eyes and finally got down to business.
"Two island owners, Xue Tong has jointly opened a trading company with the Hai clan in Xitonghai. If you two intend to leave here, Xue thinks it is worth considering going to Yibin Island."
Yibin Island is the main island of Mo Hong, and is now under the name of Xue Tong.
"Oh" Wu Qiang and Wei Sheng were very surprised and their eyes widened.
Xue Tong rambled for a while and explained the main situation clearly.
"The black-skinned sea tribe, I didn't expect Island Master Xue to have a relationship with the dark-skinned tribe that I haven't seen for a hundred years. What a strange person and strange thing!"
"Let the two of us think about it."
…
After three.
The fact that the sea area was gradually declining and becoming more dangerous finally prompted Wu and Wei to make up their minds!
"Let's go with Island Master Xue. Taoist priest Xue is trustworthy in his knowledge and military skills!" Wu Qiang said firmly.
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated. Island Master Wu has over-praised it."
"Pack up your things and have two or three large ships on one island. We will set sail in half a month. Those who don't want to go will find another place to pay their travel expenses."
"Friends of the two island owners are willing to go, so let's go together."
Xue Tong needs help from acquired people, and old friends like Wu Qiang are the best choice.
Half a month later, the seven large ships were ready. Wu Qiang called his acquaintance Liu Hanru, and there were more than 80 disciples from the Three Islands.
The fleet is moving at full speed, with five sailing days to go.
Xue Tong stood on the side of the ship's side, with ripples in his heart. The journey to martial arts was long and he didn't know the future, but the sea area in front of him might be like the smoke and clouds floating on the sea, and we would never meet again.
