On the East China Sea, there are countless islands. But among the islands, there are five largest ones, namely Black Turtle Island, Sidu Island, Ejiu Island, Hujin Island, and Triangle Island.
Xuangui Island, Sidu Island, Ejiu Island, Hujin Island, and Triangle Island are almost the same in area. Among them, Xuangui Island is the largest, Sidu Island is the most beautiful, Ejiu Island is the flattest, Hujin Island is the most steep, and Triangle Island is the most beautiful.
There is also an area between Xuangui Island, Sidu Island, Ejiu Island, Hujin Island, and Triangle Island.
This area is densely covered with islands. In the vast sea, the islands are like stars and silver sand, countless, scattered across this boundless sea.
Moreover, it is easier to kill people and seize treasures on the vast sea. The sea will completely swallow up all the traces left behind, disappear without a trace, and cannot be traced at all.
This place is where many casual cultivators or small aristocratic families who are unwilling to be squeezed by big forces gather here. For example, the current Kang family is also in the same situation.
In this area, one can dive into the sea, explore unknown uninhabited islands, or go to the sea to hunt sea monsters, seize training materials, etc., all in order to obtain more training resources.
This area is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. The territories of large sects such as the Black Turtle Sword Sect are relatively good, but the dark battles in the lawless areas fought over by outside cultivators are so cruel that it is simply unimaginable.
This is also why the Kang family wants Zhou Lei to come. After all, the inner disciples of the Black Turtle Sword Sect can scare some lawless people.
"Kang Tian, what the thirteenth elder Kang Yang said is right. I have already reached the general bone realm. If I stay in the Black Turtle Sword Sect, I might as well go out and practice." Zhou Lei said with a smile.
"But, that area is a bit dangerous." Kang Tian said worriedly.
"Only when there is danger can we go further. A stable environment will prevent people from growing up." Zhou Lei said.
"Okay." Kang Tian finally nodded and agreed.
Xuangui Sword Sect, Wenxia Peak, Internal Affairs Hall, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian accepted the tasks assigned by the Kang family.
Xuangui Island is 50,000 miles away. Within the scope of the outlying island, Huangdao is more than 1,600 miles away from the outlying island. Huangdao is 150 miles to the east, 300 miles to the west, 500 miles to the north, and 300 miles to the south. Dozens of islands, large and small, and nearly a thousand "islands" are distributed in the vast sea area of 100 miles.
There are many micro-Yuanmai in this sea area, as well as a large number of Yuan-gathering places that are even inferior to the micro-Yuanmai. The concentration of Yuanqi in the sea area is not low, so many low-level monsters have gathered.
There are several miniature red copper veins here, and elixirs and other spiritual plants grow on some islands.
With Huangdao as the center, it occupies a sea area of 120 miles in radius, hunts low-level monsters, mines two micro-red copper mines, and grows elixirs and other spiritual plants on the island with the Juyuan Land. .
This place can bring a large amount of crystal stone income and various low-level materials to the Kang family every year, which is very important to the Kang family.
Huangdao is a small island with a length of 68 miles and a width of 53 miles. It is high in the south and low in the north. There are two miniature cuprite mines in the southern mountainous area.
The center of Huangdao is a narrow mountain range that spans nearly ten miles in length. Lush trees grow there. Several rivers originate from the mountains and merge into the sea in their respective directions.
Surrounding the mountains are relatively gentle flatlands with fertile land. The mortals on the islands relied on the rivers to establish food farming areas. At the same time, small gathering towns were built around the rivers, like dots.
Zhou Lei and Kang Tian learned that in these small gathering towns, there would more or less be guarded by one or two low-level cultivators.
This is because on the islands, in these dense mountains and forests, in addition to ferocious beasts, there may also be some low-level monsters. Only with the existence of cultivators can the residents gathered in the town settle down.
These low-level practitioners protect the safety of residents and manage general affairs and disputes in the town. They are also responsible to the island owner and hand over taxes on elixirs and materials produced by residents or collected from the mountains and forests.
The output of cultivation resources on Huangdao is not abundant. There are only a few low-level spiritual grasses and spiritual plants. There are not many truly powerful monsters in the forest. It looks relatively barren and barren. The vitality in the air It is also far worse than the inner sect of Xuangui Sword Sect.
In the following time, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian settled down on Huangdao.
The Island Lord's Mansion is built next to the mouth of the Yuanquan, the only miniature Yuan vein in the entire island. Although it is not as good as the Yuan Qi of the cave at the inner gate, it is much richer than the outside world and can barely support the surrounding area. Lei, Kang Tian’s practice.
News of the replacement of Black Turtle Sword Sect's cultivators stationed on the island also spread to the surrounding mayors, and they all went to the island owner's mansion with gifts. However, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian did not like the excitement, so they declined their intention to hold a banquet. I just gave a brief introduction and all the rules will remain the same as before.
Today's Zhou Lei and Kang Tian may be nothing in the entire Black Turtle Sword Sect's inner sect.
But for people like these mayors who protect cultivators, they are high-ranking figures worthy of kneeling on the ground.
Zhou Lei and Kang Tian have already expressed that they don't like the excitement. Naturally, they did not dare to force anything, and dismissed everyone who came to the island master's mansion with Xiao Guicao following the rules.
It turns out that the monks stationed on Huangdao no longer need to hand over anything except about ten tons of red copper ore every year.
Whether it's the tax on various spiritual objects paid by the civilians on the island, the markets built on the island's wharf, or the tax on the few spiritual fields opened up in Huangdao. As the island owners, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian can put it into their own pockets as their own profits.
Just from these aspects, in general terms, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian received at least 10,000 low-grade crystals in additional income from various incomes on the island every year. If you manage carefully, you can get more!
As Huangdao's most important asset, the red copper veins, are mined by the island owners themselves, and they are almost entirely responsible for their own profits and losses. If it is managed properly, even except for the part that is turned over to the sect, not only will there be no loss, but there is also the possibility of making a profit.
To be honest, except for the risks of abnormal weather, monster attacks, etc., on this island, the owner of the island is the emperor. There is freedom and the extra income is not low.
In some aspects, he is even more carefree than the inner disciples.
Zhou Lei and Kang Tian also opened up one or two acres of spiritual fields around Yuanquankou, using the spring breeze and drizzle technique to attract spiritual rain, irrigate the spiritual fields, and plant spiritual things such as spiritual grains or spiritual herbs and elixirs. This can be regarded as entertainment to relax and relax after practicing.
Work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Plowing the fields, plowing the soil, sowing and irrigating are all part of this leisurely pastoral life. Zhou Lei seemed to vaguely realize a sense of clarity and clarity that was like returning to nature, which undoubtedly made Zhou Lei particularly happy.
The Heaven-shaking Raging Wave Technique, the Cold Water Technique, and the Spring Wind Transformation Rain Technique are all slowly improving.
At the same time, Zhou Lei has become extremely proficient in flying with his sword. When I have nothing to do, I take Kang Tian to travel around Huangdao, and the white clouds stand shoulder to shoulder.
Kang Tian's cultivation level is also growing. If his estimation is correct, he should be able to break through to the General Bone Realm within half a year.
Spring has passed, autumn has come, cold has come and summer has come, and it is almost the end of the year. During this period of time, there have been more and more chores on the island, starting with the various civil affairs matters on the island.
The various mayors on the island have handed over the taxes that should be paid this year. Many of them, such as spiritual mines, spiritual herbs, monster materials, and even some sea monster specialties harvested from going out to sea, have been mixed at the island owner's house. A whole lot.
Fortunately, Kang Tian was there to help with it, otherwise I don’t know how long it would take to do it by myself. Especially some tedious matters, Zhou Lei became even more confused, and finally handed them all over to Kang Tian.
