The days of leisurely raising insects always go very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another year flies by.
It has been two and a half years since Zhang Liang took over the Black Wind Insect Farm, and half of Rao Yaoyao's five-year period has passed.
During this period, due to the lack of spiritual food and suppression from all sides, the efficiency of insect farming in the insect farm gradually declined.
Finally, after several days of fun between Zhang Liang and Yang Xue, the latter revealed that the insect farm had almost run out of spiritual stones.
Zhang Liang had already expected that the spirit stones would be exhausted. After all, maintaining such a large insect farm cost money every day. It was less than 50,000 spirit stones. Even if he only raised two kinds of spirit insects, it would not last long under the increasing consumption.
Zhang Liang knew that after several years of dormancy, he could no longer remain silent. After all, this Black Wind Insect Farm is now considered one of his foundations. He may keep it for a long time in the future, but it would be unwise to leave it abandoned.
Now, Zhang Liang has cultivated as many as eight second-order low-grade jade cockroaches. The number of second-level low-grade blood-sucking purple locusts has also increased to 17.
However, only one second-order low-grade spiritual blood ant can be cultivated. After all, the base number is small, and the main demon pills are used to cultivate blood-sucking purple locusts. It is not easy to give birth to a second-order spiritual blood ant.
Although Zhang Liang knows that his insect breeding progress is rapid, his foundation is shallow after all. Unlike Biyou Insect Farm and Sansha Insect Farm, they have been on Biyou Island for many years and must have many kinds of spiritual insects and second-level spiritual insects in stock.
If possible, Zhang Liang would like to lie dormant for another ten years. When he is born, he can at least guarantee that no one in the entire Biyou Island can fight.
Unfortunately, time waits for no one, and the most important thing now is making money.
now.
The trade routes of Black Wind Insect Farm are almost completely cut off and are monopolized by Biyou Insect Farm, Sansha Insect Farm and those small insect farms. I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate to forcefully intervene if you rely solely on your own strength at the seventh level of Qi training.
Sun Qiannai is at the ninth level of Qi training, and Luo Sanpang is also at the eighth level. The owners of other small insect farms are probably at the seventh level of Qi training. Without showing off their physical training strength, their own Qi training Cultivation is simply not enough.
When it comes to spiritual insects, only the Jasper Cockroach in the Black Wind Insect Farm can compete with other major insect farms. In terms of a single category, the Batu Pest Farm, which devotes almost all its efforts to cultivating jasper cockroaches, is certainly worthy of any insect farm.
Therefore, if the Black Wind Insect Farm wants to make a comeback, the main focus will be on the Jasper Cockroach.
…
Early next day.
Zhang Liang had a good night's sleep to regain his energy, and asked Yang Xue to summon Yang Xun and the backbone of the Black Wind Insect Farm, about thirty people in total.
Zhang Liang is in his early twenties. He is dressed in simple clothes but has a good temperament. He has the appearance of a talented young man from a large family.
Zhang Liang glanced at everyone, but no one dared to look directly at him.
Finally, his eyes fell on Yang Xun: "Mr. Yang, how many people have left our insect farm in the past two years?"
Yang Xun didn't know why Zhang Liang suddenly called them over today. When asked by Zhang Liang, Yang Xun immediately replied respectfully: "Report to the farm owner, during this period, 49 people left the insect farm one after another, but they were ordinary insect farmers to begin with, and there was no family power behind them. According to the farm owner, I mean, the old slave gave them some compensation, an average of three hundred spirit stones and a small number of spirit insects per person. During this period, 14 people died unexpectedly, so there are currently 224 people left in our insect farm."
Zhang Liang nodded, he didn't care if there were many people or few.
Zhang Liang said calmly: "Remember these people, if they want to return in the future, we will not take them."
"Yes, owner."
Yang Xun's eyes flashed, and he secretly thought that he had already said this. Could it be that the owner of the salted fish farm was finally going to take action?
The other insect farmers were secretly happy, wondering if Zhang Liang was going to do something big?
The next moment, Zhang Liang suddenly changed the topic: "Where is Yang Xun?"
"The old slave is here." Yang Xun became energetic.
Zhang Liang ordered: "The owner of this field orders you to collect all the first-level low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade jade cockroaches within three days. At that time, you will go out with the owner of the field and sell spiritual insects. Do you have any objections?"
"The old slave has no objection."
Yang Xun was overjoyed. Although he didn't know why Zhang Liang suddenly changed his temper, it was a good thing, even a huge good thing. Dare to say that he goes out to sell spiritual insects, which means that Zhang Liang is not afraid of trouble.
Normally, if other people in the Black Wind Insect Farm dared to say this, they would definitely be dizzy. All the insect farms are suppressing the Black Wind Insect Farm. Who dares to go out and sell insects?
But this was said by Zhang Liang, the owner of the Black Wind Insect Farm. If someone dares to target someone whose status is comparable to that of the owners of Biyou Insect Farm and Sansha Insect Farm, they will have to weigh their abilities.
Yang Xue was even more happy. Being able to have such confidence to face many insect farms in Biyou Insect Farm is such courage that it is worth following.
If Zhang Liang can still resist the suppression of the insect farms, then the Black Wind Insect Farm will stand firm. From now on, the Black Wind Insect Farm can return to its position as one of the three major insect farms.
…
Three days later.
Zhang Liang led more than 30 people from the Black Wind Insect Farm and opened the Ten-mile Smoke Cloud Formation. A large group of people headed straight to Biyou Port on Biyou Island.
Although Biyou Island is large, there are only 60,000 immortal cultivators on it. There are three ports, two small ports, and the largest Biyou Port.
The throughput of Biyou Port accounts for about half of the immortal cultivators on Biyou Island. Therefore, not far from Biyou Port, is the largest market on Biyu Island.
Biyou Port is also a large port market. Most of those who go to sea will pass by here.
The biggest difference between the port market and Xianfang is the quality of the things. Most of what is sold in the market are cheap items, some freshly caught fish, and some occasional items. There are many rules in the market, and various workshops sell high-quality goods.
Zhang Liang has already made it clear to Yang Xun that although the port market is managed by law enforcement, you can set up a stall by paying some stall fees. The larger the stall, the higher the stall fee.
Before Zhang Liang and his 30 people arrived here, Biyou Insect Farm, Sansha Insect Farm, and many other small insect farms had already heard the news.
Sun Qian: "Oh? You mean he came out in person?"
Jiang Po: "Yes, the farm owner. The Black Wind Farm owner led a group of people and went straight to Biyou Port. I guessed that the people in the Black Wind Farm were chewing insects and couldn't bear it any longer, so they had to go Come out and make money." New
Sun Qianwei frowned: "Although we are suppressing the Black Wind Insect Farm, the owner of the farm personally came out to preside over the sales, which is a bit too low. But now that he has come out, the law enforcers will probably not take care of it anymore. .Is there any news from the Black Wind Insect Farm?"
"The news is here, it's said that the Black Wind Field Master has brought out all the first-order jade cockroaches."
"all?"
"Yes, I have confirmed again and again that it is all of them. The number is said to be quite large. The total number may exceed one hundred thousand."
Sun Qian closed his eyes slightly and murmured: "Is it possible that he wants to focus on spiritual blood ants? However, spiritual blood ants are notoriously difficult to raise. If he wants to cultivate second-level spiritual blood ants, he has succeeded..."
After thinking for a while, Sun Qian said: "The other party's jade cockroaches are not many, but if he is allowed to sell them, the Black Wind Insect Farm can indeed survive. The purchase price of Lingxian Tower is one spiritual stone. But with such a large quantity, Lingxian Tower would definitely have to lower the price, so he did not choose Lingxian Tower..."
Jiang Po continued: "If he wants to sell to other fairy islands, such a large amount will be boycotted immediately. As for Lingxian Island, it is the private land of many powerful people in Lingxian Palace. If he dares to go, he will provoke public anger and leave. Death is not far away. Therefore, he can only sell it on the main island of Biyou Island."
Sun Qian: "Mr. Jiang, if you were the owner of the insect farm, what would happen if you got one hundred thousand or even two hundred thousand spirit stones?"
Mrs. Jiang: "Continue to purchase a large number of ordinary spiritual blood ants and invest in spiritual blood ant cultivation."
Sun Qian: "No one on Biyou Island will sell ordinary spiritual blood ants to him."
Mrs. Jiang: "Then go to the outer island or Lingxian Island."
Sun Qian: "The Immortal Sea is dangerous and it is easy to bury a few people. Especially for people like this who have huge sums of money. Once the news leaks out, the consequences will be disastrous."
Grandma Jiang paused: "Then there is no other way. The spirit stone can only rot in the hands. Therefore, the other party is trying to catch the fish, or there is a possibility of giving up the Black Wind Insect Farm."
Sun Qian squinted his eyes and said: "Maybe he has other plans that we don't know about. In short, he can't just do it for money. It's not enough to just have spiritual stones in his hand. To feed spiritual insects, you must constantly provide fresh spiritual food, and The formula of spiritual food needs to be changed from time to time. It is almost impossible to collect spiritual food for months or even years at a time. It is impossible for the owner of Black Wind Farm not to know this, but he still does it. This means that he does not simply want to Money. Firstly, he wants to regain the popularity of Batu Chongchang. Secondly, he has no intention of spending this money on Biyou Island. Finally, he plans to give up Batu Chongchong and make a fortune."
Jiang Po: "But will Rao Shangxian allow him to act so randomly?"
Sun Qianyou said leisurely: "This is also where I am confused. But no matter what, the popularity cannot be ceded to him. Just tell him to go ahead and wait for them to spread out their stalls and let them go."
"Eight spirit coins?"
"Master, eight spirit coins will cost you a lot."
Sun Qian said calmly: "If you lose, you will lose. The most important thing is status. We should not miss this. Even if he can still sell it, he has a huge amount of money and can't spend it, so what can he do?"
Before Mrs. Jiang left, Sun Qian said: "Tell this news to Luo Sanpang and see what his attitude is."
Three sand worm fields.
"Boss, that's what happened. Grandma Jiang came to deliver the message in person, so there shouldn't be any lies."
Luo Sanpang snorted coldly: "Of course there is no lie. Sun Qian, this little bastard, wants me to buy things and give money to Zhang Liang."
"ah?"
The younger brother was puzzled and his face was full of astonishment.
Just listen to Luo Sanpang say: "Everyone knows that the Black Wind Insect Farm mainly targets jade cockroaches and spiritual blood ants. Now if he clears out the jade cockroaches, he is either planning to make money, or he is preparing to focus on spiritual blood ants. But feeding spiritual worms requires a lot of For fresh ingredients, money alone is not enough. Why do you ask me to give you money? I don’t like those jade cockroaches."
The younger brother was confused: "Could he want to go directly to Lingxian Building to buy it?"
"Idiot, don't let me hear such stupid words next time. Have you ever seen Lingxian Tower selling ordinary fish? Furthermore, even if Lingxian Tower is willing to sell it, no matter how many spiritual stones it is, it can't stop it. The purchase of goods from Lingxian Building is several times more expensive than the normal port market. Even if Zhang Liang is mentally ill, he wouldn't be able to do such a thing. Is Grandma Jiang gone?"
"Not yet, boss."
Luo Sanpang: "Let her come over."
After a while, Mrs. Jiang came to the owner of Luo Sanpang's house on crutches. Seeing Mrs. Jiang slowly swallowing, Luo Sanpang laughed loudly: "Hahaha, old lady Jiang, you are already very old. If you can’t walk anymore, don’t leave, go home and retire!”
Mrs. Jiang: "Thank you, Mr. Luo, for reminding me. I will consider it."
Luo Sanpang snorted softly: "Tell Sun Qian that he can do whatever he likes. If he wants me to take action, there is no way. Did I make it clear enough?"
The port market in Biyu Port.
Zhang Liang and his party found a large piece of open space and began to lay out the insect pond, which covers an area of more than 30 meters vertically and horizontally.
Sure enough, a group of seven or eight law enforcers were attracted at once.
The leader immediately shouted: "Who asked you to set up a stall here? And it takes up such a big place?"
However, he saw Zhang Liang dressed in the uniform of a disciple of Lingxian Palace, with a tall and straight figure, a folding fan in his hand, and an arrogant temperament. He glanced at the law enforcer lightly and said, "What, you mean I can't do it?"
"this……"
The law enforcer was a little embarrassed for a moment, mainly because this person had such a strong aura and his words and deeds made him feel great pressure. It's not like he has never seen the children of Lingxian Palace before, but he really hasn't met many of them with such temperament.
"May I ask your Excellency?"
Zhang Liang smiled slightly: "Well, I'm the owner of the Black Wind Insect Farm on Biyou Island. I heard that I, the insect farmer of the Black Wind Insect Farm, was being made things difficult and bullied at the port. Today, the spiritual insects from the insect farm came out of the cage. I stopped by to have a look. , who has been bullying me, the people of Black Wind Insect Farm!"
"Black Wind Insect Farm Owner?"
The law enforcers felt a chill in their hearts. They all knew about the big shots on Biyou Island.
As early as more than two years ago, they had guessed that when the owner of the Black Wind Insect Farm first arrived, he would probably have conflicts or even fight with Biyou Insect Farm and Black Wind Insect Farm.
Unexpectedly, the owner of the Black Wind Insect Field was completely silent, as if he didn't exist. Everyone thought he was scared and kept cowering in the ten-mile smoke formation.
But who would have thought that he would actually show up today, and he would be so grand.
Naturally, the law enforcer did not dare to neglect Zhang Liang. After all, he was the owner of the insect farm and was directly related to the owner of Biyou Island. With this status alone, no one dared to look down upon him.
Even though the several captains of the Enforcer are all masters in the late stage of Qi training, the Enforcer and the Insect Field have no grudges and will not come to embarrass them.
Before Zhang Liang didn't come, everyone sold Bihai Insect Farm and Sansha Insect Farm to save face.
Now that Zhang Liang is here, he must give Zhang Liang some face.
No, the law enforcer immediately smiled and said: "It turns out to be the owner of the Black Wind Insect Farm. I have been admired for a long time. I am Li Tie, the deputy captain of the law enforcement team of the Biyou Insect Farm. I was just wondering why someone occupies such a large territory. That’s all, please don’t blame the venue owner.”
Zhang Liang nodded slightly, with a calm expression and did not speak.
Immediately, the law enforcer immediately added: "Since the owner of the stall is setting up the stall in person, we can rest assured that no one will dare to make trouble. Li is deeply sorry for the confrontation with the stall owner just now. We won’t charge the fee, it’s up to you, the venue owner.”
Zhang Liang suddenly showed his face: "Thank you very much, Captain Li. Captain Li, walk slowly."
Zhang Liang didn't show much favor to Li Tie and drove him away directly.
Although Zhang Liang actually didn't have much confidence, he knew that using power to suppress others cannot be easily changed. One moment he was looking at Li Tie condescendingly, and if he called him brother-in-law the next, it would be disrespectful and would directly undermine his position.
Moreover, in the past, the law enforcement team often made things difficult for the people in the Black Wind Insect Field, so it was normal not to give them face.
Seeing Li Tie leaving in a hurry, Yang Xun and Yang Xue behind Zhang Liang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Immediately, I admired Zhang Liangliang, but I didn't expect that the owner of the field would still be so proud and domineering when he saw the law enforcer.
There must be something extraordinary about this field owner, Yang Xun and others had this idea in their minds.
However, Zhang Liang casually took out a large scroll and tossed it with four hands. The fish skin scroll, which was more than ten meters long, stood on the soil.
It read: "Produced by Black Wind Insect Farm, first-grade low-grade jasper cockroach, the lowest price in history, one spiritual stone per piece, limited to 100,000 pieces, so hurry up if you want to buy it."
"Hiss~"
"A spiritual stone?"
This time, even Yang Xun and others did not expect it.
First of all, even if the quantity is wrong, the price is still so low, so what do they earn? In the past few years, I have invested nearly 50,000 spiritual stones alone, plus my own number of first-order low-grade spiritual insects. If you sell it at this price, you will make no profit at all, and it will be difficult to even protect your capital.
Yang Xun immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Master, we only have more than 70,000 first-order low-grade jade cockroaches!"
Zhang Liang said calmly: "The owner of this venue said it was one hundred thousand, so it was one hundred thousand. Why, do you have a problem?"
"of course not."
Zhang Liang naturally knows what they are worried about, so they can make a profit at a loss. The money was obtained, but the spiritual worm was gone. We haven’t made much more money than before. Isn’t this just making money at a loss?
However, what Zhang Liang earned was this shouting.
Of course, in addition to shouting, he also wanted to see the attitude of the Zhongchang led by Biyou Zhongchang.
…
The port market is full of people coming and going.
As soon as Zhang Liang's banner was hung up, passersby on the roadside were surprised.
"First-grade low-grade jade cockroach, one spiritual stone per piece? So cheap?"
"Black Wind Insect Farm, hiss, is this insect farm still there? One spirit stone for each, they are crazy, can they make back their money?"
"One hundred thousand first-order low-grade jade cockroaches, what a big deal."
In the blink of an eye, a large group of fishermen and farmers gathered around.
When the dumping started, Zhang Liang naturally would not go out to sell bugs in person. At this moment, he had taken out a seat from his storage bag and sat down peacefully. Yang Xuezheng was standing respectfully by the side, making tea for Zhang Liang.
Although Yang Xun and the others felt a little distressed, how could they dare to change the decision made by the owner of the venue easily? In short, it is not bad to be able to exchange spirit insects for spirit stones, which can at least sustain the Black Wind Insect Farm for a few more years.
"I want 10."
"I want 20."
"I want 15."
"I want……"
"I want a thousand."
Suddenly, a deep voice passed through the many fishermen and farmers. I saw more than ten strong men squeezing through the crowd. The man at the head was tall and tall, with short short hair and dark skin. He was missing one eye and gave himself a fish eye, which made him look weird.
The appearance of this person directly caused the fishermen and farmers who were competing to buy to avoid it, causing the transaction to be interrupted.
I saw the man grinning: "I want a thousand."
The people around the man followed suit and shouted, "I want eight hundred."
"I want five hundred."
"Haha! I have many brothers, and each of them wants five hundred. Master Black Wind, I will take care of your spiritual insects."
When Yang Xun saw this, he immediately turned back to look at Zhang Liang.
At this moment, Yang Xue was whispering to Zhang Liang: "Master, this person is Wu Tian, the master of the Sky Centipede Field. It is said that he is at the peak of the seventh level of Qi training."
Zhang Liang held up the teacup in his hand, glanced at the person lightly, and said leisurely: "Yang Xun obeys the order. Each person is limited to 20. If there are more, we will not sell them."
"Are you not selling it, or are you afraid to sell it?"
Zhang Liang raised his head and glanced at Wu Tian, naturally knowing that the other party was just a provocation.
Just listen to him say leisurely: "I, Black Wind Insect Farm, give back to the fishermen and farmers of Biyou Island at a low price, but you, Tian Centipede Insect Farm, want to interfere with it. Do you think that the owner of this farm has suppressed the price of insects and affected your earning of spiritual stones? "
After finishing speaking, Zhang Liang immediately added: "There are no rules. From now on, all insect buyers must queue up. Who are you? Are you still buying? If you want to buy, just queue up."
Wu Tian's face turned cold, waiting in line? What does it sound like for him, the dignified owner of the insect farm, to stop queuing up and buy just 20 first-order low-grade spiritual insects?
He just snorted coldly: "What if I don't? The market doesn't belong to your family."
Zhang Liang picked up the tea cup and took a gentle blow. He didn't look at Wu Tian, but casually patted his bag of spirit beasts. Suddenly, a mass of black spirit insects flew out, more than five hundred of them.
When Wu Tian saw this, his expression changed slightly: "First-grade high-quality jade cockroach?"
Not only Wu Tian recognized it, but everyone could recognize it.
"Boohoo!"
I saw that all the first-order high-quality jade cockroaches quickly attacked and headed straight for Wu Tian.
The latter's expression changed when he saw this. He was here to cause trouble, but he was not here to fight insects. Even if it's Douchong, he won't give it up! As the saying goes, if you injure the enemy a thousand, you will lose eight hundred. It is not impossible to destroy these first-order high-quality jade cockroaches, but the price is not small.
But they saw that everyone in Wu Tian was retreating one after another.
With this retreat, the momentum of the Sky Centipede Field was suppressed.
"Zhang Liang, do you dare to take action on the island?"
Wu Tian shouted, as if he felt that he had been disgraced, and became furious because of his incompetence.
"Zi Liu! Ah~"
Zhang Liang took a sip of tea and looked over with a faint smile on his face: "The owner of this place is selling insects, and the owner of Wu Tian is here to cause trouble. Why, you can't beat them?"
Zhang Liang acted very calmly, but only he knew that he had to be strong this time.
The way to live forever is not to just lie dormant. Sometimes, out of desperation, the only way to take action is to hibernate better.
Wu Tian's face was ashen and he was making calculations in his mind. He really wanted to take this opportunity to fight Zhang Liang. But he really didn't dare. After all, it was one of the three major insect farms and had never shown its heel. If it got stuck, he would probably suffer heavy losses. If that happens, will Biyou Chongchang and Sansha Chongchang take care of themselves?
Wu Tian snorted coldly: "What a strong and domineering Black Wind Field Master. Since fellow Taoists are so strong, why don't they dare to participate in the annual insect fighting competition? Our Heavenly Centipede Field sincerely invites the Black Wind Field Master to join us this year Insect fighting competition, spirit insect competition, I wonder if Black Wind Field Master dares to challenge?"
At this time, countless people looked at Zhang Liang.
Wu Tianxin said that in full view of everyone, Zhang Liang would be unable to dismount from the tiger.
If he really dares to keep the appointment, he will have to face the entire insect farm on Biyou Island on his own, and he will not be able to defeat him.
However, Zhang Liang chuckled: "Dou Chong is fine, as long as the director of this field expires for five years. I can't tell you the specific reason."
"If you're scared, just say it. Why are you talking about a five-year term? I didn't expect that the Tangtang Heifeng Insect Farm, one of the three major insect farms on Biyou Island, wouldn't even dare to invite a mere insect fight. I'm afraid it will make people laugh if I tell you."
This time, Zhang Liang smiled even more. As soon as Wu Tian finished his words, he said: "In that case, there is the Immortal Sea a few miles away. Since Wu Tian wants to fight insects so much, it doesn't matter. Today's host is just right I have free time, how about we have a fight in the Immortal Sea? But we have agreed, the spiritual insects are difficult to control! So, in this fight, life or death does not matter, how about everyone accepts their destiny? "
The melon-eating crowd in the audience suddenly felt their hearts tremble. Fighting insects divided life and death. Such a loud tone. It was Wu Tian who was making trouble just now, and now...
Wu Tian looked ugly. He came to stir up trouble, not to fight. Is there something wrong with this black wind field owner?
Wu Tian realized that he had been tricked, and he was afraid that the other party was waiting for him to talk about fighting insects. In this case, how could he agree?
At this time, Zhang Liang continued: "Master Wu Tian, I don't have much free time. It's rare to take half a day off today. I hope you don't miss it. Otherwise, the next time we see each other, I'm afraid it will be several years later."
