Not long after Wang Xiuhai flew with the two of them, they arrived outside the island. He pointed at the sea boat parked in front of him, which was dozens of feet long and seven or eight feet wide and said:
"Next, we have to go to a few small islands to collect the spiritual objects, and then go to Tainanfang City. It will take about half a month. You guys need to rest on the boat first."
The sea boat is a relatively common navigation tool in the entire Nebula Sea. The core components such as the keel of the sea boat are made of first-grade low-grade iron plow wood, and other parts are basically made of low-grade spiritual wood.
Supplemented by weapon-training runes, its strength is barely that of a first-order low-grade magic weapon. It has a large space and the overall cost is not too high.
You can also use spirit stones to arrange spirit-gathering formations in the cabin to practice. This has become a means of transportation for many small families and low-level monks. The Wang family of Crab Island built three ships.
Generally, a sea boat will be equipped with one Qi-training perfectionist, plus several late-stage Qi-training people, and some early-stage Qi-training people, so there is no need to worry about encountering foundation-building monks and monsters.
Wang Xiuhai introduced some basic information and itinerary arrangements, then took the two of them on the sea boat. After arranging accommodation for the two of them, he left with a few words of advice.
Wang Minghui chatted with Wang Shi'an for a few words and then left. Wang Shi'an returned to his cabin and was about to lie down and rest for a while when there was a knock on the door. He was slightly startled, wondering who would come now. Looking for yourself?
Just as he opened the door, a friendly and excited voice came:
"Ninth Brother! It's really you!"
Wang Shian looked at the person in front of him, stunned for a moment, and then said with a face full of surprise:
"Brother! Why are you here? Aren't you on the family Fire Island?"
It turns out that the person in front of him is Wang Shi'an's eldest brother Wang Shilong!
"Hey, I stayed on Huoyu Island for a year, and in the second year I went to practice with my family's sea boat. I didn't expect to meet my ninth brother!" Wang Shilong said with excitement on his face.
"Brother, come in quickly, we haven't seen each other for two years, we have to have a good chat this time!" Wang Shi'an happily said while greeting Wang Shilong.
Then the two chatted eagerly for an hour before Wang Shilong left. They learned about it through chatting with his eldest brother Wang Shilong.
After the eldest brother stayed on Huoyu Island for a year, he specifically applied to the family to go on an internship with Haizhou so that he could better train himself and make better contributions to the family in the future. The family understood the eldest brother’s thoughts and agreed to go with the boat. Boat training.
In the days that followed, Wang Shian occasionally chatted with his eldest brother Wang Shilong and his eighteenth uncle Wang Minghui. He also visited his sixth uncle once on the way, and spent most of the rest of his time in the boat room practicing.
Half a month passed in a flash, and Xinglong Island, where Tainanfang City is located, was already in sight.
Xinglong Island is more than sixty miles long and twenty-six miles wide. There is a second-level high-grade spiritual vein on the island.
More than four hundred years ago, there was a small spiritual stone mine on Xinglong Island. It was accidentally discovered by Qingyun Zhenren, the first ancestor of the Wang family, while traveling in the nearby waters.
Master Qingyun knew that his time was short. If he passed away, it would be impossible for a newly established family with only three members in the foundation-building stage to be unable to defend this spiritual stone mine. Instead, it would lead to disaster!
After two years of secret mining in the initial stage, Master Qingyun summoned the three nearby foundation-building families of Han, Huang, and Chen to reveal the spirit stone mine. In the end, the four families agreed to unite to mine it together!
Among them, the Wang family accounts for 35%, the Han family accounts for 25%, and the remaining two families each account for 20%.
In this way, the cooperative mining continued for decades until the Lingshi mine was exhausted, and several families also gained basic trust based on this cooperation.
It was decided to jointly establish a market on this island, with the Wang family taking 30%, the Han and Huang families 25%, and the Shen family 20%. They named it Xinglong Island, and Tainan City came into being.
…
Three days later is Tainanfang City's annual large-scale trading conference, and the auction conference will be reported on the fifth day. The four major foundation-building families will also bring out precious spiritual objects as the finale of the auction.
Families, big and small, or casual cultivators from more than three thousand miles around will rush to Xinglong Island to take this opportunity to exchange or purchase the items they need.
The Wang family collects spiritual objects and elixirs at this time every year in order to catch up with the trading conference and take the opportunity to make a fortune. Most of the Wang family's Tainanfang City income depends on this trading conference every year.
After a while, Haizhou sailed into the Xinglong Island pier. Because the trade conference was approaching, the pier was crowded and lively. It was several hours before the goods on Haizhou were unloaded.
Wang Xiuhai needs to escort the spiritual objects to the warehouse on the family island first, and cannot take the two of them with him. Then he said a few words to Wang Minghui's uncle and nephew.
They were allowed to go shopping in Fangshi first, and then meet up at the family station in Fangshi, and escorted the spiritual objects away. Wang Shilong also waved to the two of them and followed Wang Xiuhai.
Wang Shi'an looked at the lively scene in front of him and couldn't wait to see it. He said to Wang Minghui next to him:
"Uncle Eighteen, you must be familiar with this place, you have to take me for a walk!"
When Wang Minghui heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart. He had actually only been here a few times, and he was not even familiar with this place. However, he said calmly on the surface:
"Of course, but Uncle Eighteen has something important to deal with when he comes here. I will take you to Fangshi. You can take a look at it yourself first, and I will take you around later."
It was natural for Wang Shi'an to hear this, and then followed Wang Minghui to Fangshi.
