Chapter 239: The Situation Deteriorates
It took a month for eight forces including Wind and Fire Island to walk around the various big islands, sell all the goods they brought, and then exchange them for various resources and bring them home.
Lin Xiao's storage ring is also full of various materials, Xuanjing is very few, and now Wind and Fire Island needs all kinds of resources instead of Xuanjing, and Wind and Fire Island needs to speed up the accumulation of strength.
After returning to Wind and Fire Island, Lin Xiao accelerated the speed of cultivating disciples, and once again detected nine children with spiritual roots from among mortals, and the number of monks on the island increased again.
A year later, the support of the Heavenly Saint Sect headquarters came again, this time not sending monks, but various materials worth more than three million Xuanjing, including twenty Kaifu Pills.
With this batch of resources, Lin Xiao can not run around for resources for the time being, and he can use it conservatively for seven or eight years, and the consumption of more than three hundred is indeed not large.
The focus of Lin Xiao's busyness is the alchemy room, with his previous experience, Lin Xiao's speed has become very fast, and in a year, more than thirty alchemy rooms have been established, from the first order to the third order, the fire source is stable and safe, and it is much easier to use than using spiritual charcoal or purple mansion monks to release real fire.
Moreover, Lin Xiao estimated that the fire eye of Wind and Fire Island could allow a fourth-order alchemist to refine pills at the highest, but Lin Xiao had not yet reached the level where he could use the fourth-order fire eye.
In addition to the alchemy room, there is also a refining room, and refining tools also need fire eyes, Lin Xiao has been busy for half a year, and has established more than 20 refining rooms.
Build these things well, but they can't be rented and sold directly, with Lin Xiao's level, he knows that this will not be able to get the maximum benefits.
Therefore, Lin Xiao transferred Qingzhuang to open up the wasteland outside the alchemy room, level the land, and build a small square market, for the time being, there is only a small cross street, dozens of shops, after doing it, Lin Xiao let those disciples participate in the training, ready to establish a fang market.
"Boss, this Fang City is very similar to the previous Gongmingfang City."
"It's not like, it's a copy of Gongmingfang City, the design drawings are the same, just use it, what do you do with so much?"
"Yes, yes, the boss is right"
"Who of the fifteen people you brought has done it in Gongming City, when the time comes, you pick it out and let them bring two newly promoted Purple Mansion monks to sit in this Fang City, although our Fang City is small, but safety must be guaranteed, and in addition, the alchemy room and the refining room must also be at least two Purple Mansion monks."
"Master, in this way, we don't have enough manpower, plus the two people who just broke through this year, we only have seventeen purple mansions."
"That's enough, I founded Mingfang City back then, I was just a Purple Mansion monk, didn't I survive it, the level of these three hundred people is good, and soon there will be a steady stream of Purple Mansion monks, and then it will be enough, okay, don't talk nonsense with you, I have something to go out, guard the Wind and Fire Island"
Lin Xiao shook his head, seventeen purple mansions are not enough, it seems that he is used to living a good life in the Heavenly Saint Sect, and he doesn't know that it has been difficult for many years before.
Lin Xiao drove the flying boat to Dafang Island, sold the Qianling wine accumulated in the past two years to Hua Congjie, and then purchased a lot of spiritual fruits and spiritual water, Fenghuo Island has planted a spiritual fruit tree, and it is expected that it will be produced in two or three years, but Lingquan did not find it at all, which also caused the cost of Qianling wine to not go down.
Lin Xiao couldn't do anything about it, so he had to drag it out first, and then Lin Xiao bought a lot of formation-related materials, as well as treasures to improve the spiritual veins and returned to Wind and Fire Island.
Under Lin Xiao's large investment, the spiritual vein of Wind and Fire Island was finally upgraded to the third order, Lin Xiao intercepted a spiritual vein and led it to Fang City, and then began to set up a protective formation for Fang City.
Because of the lack of Xuan Qi, the protective formation can only be set to the second-order high-grade, because this is the limit that this section of spiritual vein can provide, if you need to use Xuan Jing even for normal operation, it will be a loss.
After everything was done, Lin Xiao sent a message to Wanhua Island and the other seven forces, asking them to help publicize it, saying that there were alchemists and refiners for rent on Wind and Fire Island, and the price was favorable, and the seven forces did not refuse this kind of small favor.
Under the propaganda of the seven families, in the second month, low-level alchemists and refiners began to come to Wind and Fire Island to refine the alchemy tools, Lin Xiao gave them a generous treatment, not only the price was very cheap, but also took most of their pill magic weapons, anyway, they could use them in the future.
It was under this kind of preferential treatment that Wind and Fire Island slowly began to have casual cultivators come to trade and settle down, and Lin Xiao also opened restaurants and inns in Fang City one after another to ensure their food, clothing, housing and transportation.
However, the most commendable thing in Wind and Fire Island Fang City is not the alchemy room and the refining room, but fairness and safety, as I said before, as the end of the Beast Tide War has become longer, the resources that some casual cultivators have exchanged for their combat exploits have been consumed, and the battles and battles in the scattered cultivation have become frequent, and they still dare not attack the islands, but it is no problem to attack the scattered cultivators.
Most of the Luoxinghai Islands are the vast sea as soon as they come out of the island, and after killing people and throwing them into the sea, they can be eaten clean by fish and shrimp in a few days, and it is very convenient to destroy the corpses.
Therefore, the days of casual cultivation began to be difficult, but there were three Purple Mansions in Fenghuo Island City, one each in the alchemy room and one in the refining room, and there were five Purple Mansions in a few square kilometers, which was enough to ensure safety.
And Lin Xiao's consistent strategy is to pay attention to fairness, and the name of Gongming City is also derived from this, so it is still the same here, which makes Sanxiu's favorability of Wind and Fire Island greatly increase.
In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed, and on this day, a monk of the alliance came to Wind and Fire Island and took back the order flag given by the alliance before, which means that ten years have passed after the war, and the alliance no longer provides safe shelter, and in the future, the safety of Wind and Fire Island will be responsible for itself, and life and death will be fateful.
Lin Xiao didn't have anything to say about this, at this time, the monks of Wind and Fire Island reached more than three hundred and fifty people, and last year more than a dozen children with spiritual roots were detected, and the first batch of disciples ten years ago had already broken through to the condensation stage, and Lin Xiao got one thousand points from the system.
And three of the three hundred disciples broke through the Purple Mansion, the number of Purple Mansion monks reached twenty, and the Lin family on Wanhua Island was only twenty-one Purple Mansions, and in terms of high-end combat power, Wind and Fire Island was actually not inferior to the Lin family.
When the Fang Market of Wind and Fire Island began to become famous, and many casual cultivators came to alchemy and practice qi to trade and live, the Lin family and other seven forces opened shops in the Fang Market for the first time, and Lin Xiao still gave preferential treatment.
The increase in the number of foreign monks is a great challenge to the safety of the island, and the loose cultivators of the Luo Xinghai Islands are even more fierce, otherwise they would not dare to go out to sea to fight with the sea and demon beasts, and at the same time, they are even more unruly, so Lin Xiao attaches great importance to the safety of the island.
He personally divided the mortal district and the monk district, the development direction of the mortal district will be to the east and the north, while the monk district will develop to the west, staggering the two, and there is a formation division.
At the same time, it has increased the patrol task of Wind and Fire Island, and now Wind and Fire Island does not have the strength to patrol the surrounding waters, so it can only stick to the island.
With the passage of the ten-year protection period, turmoil began to arise in various parts of the Luoxinghai Islands, especially the islands like Lin Xiao that foreign monks exchanged for their war exploits, at least half of which had changed hands.
Thinking about it, I also know how many resources Lin Xiao has invested in Wind and Fire Island, which is about to reach tens of millions of Xuanjing, and there are sects that support more than three hundred disciples.
But what about those real casual cultivators, they can't compare to Lin Xiao financially, and they may have more manpower than Lin Xiao, but the cohesion and loyalty have to be discounted, once they encounter a strong enemy, can they really fight to the death?
It is for these reasons that there are many foreign monks who have been taken away from the island, and if they are lucky, they have survived, but they have wasted more than ten years of hard work, and those who are unlucky have also been given their lives over there.
In this context, the days of casual cultivation are a little more difficult, and they begin to look for safe island shelter, and large islands such as Dafang Island and Treasure Island are naturally the first choice, but those places also represent a high cost of living, which not every casual cultivation can afford.
As a result, small and medium-sized islands like Wind and Fire Island became their first choice, which made the population of Wind and Fire Island Fang City increase rapidly, and in just two or three years, Lin Xiao had to expand Fang City again.
With the increase in population, Wind and Fire Island has also entered the eyes of more people, especially Wind and Fire Island is an island with a radius of four thousand miles, the area is not small, if it is fully developed, it can accommodate tens of millions of people, but now there are only a few people on Wind and Fire Island, and mortals are just in their early 100,000s, and the developed territory of Wind and Fire Island is not even one-tenth.
This is a waste in the eyes of many forces, Lin Zhongjun gave Lin Xiao a suggestion, let Lin Xiao lease those undeveloped land, you can use the hands of those weak forces to develop Wind and Fire Island, and you can collect certain benefits, and if there is really a strong enemy to attack, they can also contribute.
However, Lin Xiao refused, Wind and Fire Island was an important part of Lin Xiao's plan, and he would never allow the rest of the people to get involved, he would still be of great use.
Lin Xiao has refused many times the forces that want to rent the island, and many forces have begun to make up their minds about Wind and Fire Island, after all, the guards of Wind and Fire Island are too few, and more than 300 people are divided into a few places, how much strength can they have?
As for Lin Xiao's combat effectiveness, it is even less worth mentioning to them, more than ten years have passed since the beast tide, even those who remember it have long forgotten it, besides, they are all outlaws fighting for their lives on the sea, but no one is really afraid.
After months of planning, the three scattered cultivation gangs formed an alliance and made a plan to capture Wind and Fire Island and jointly divide Wind and Fire Island.
The three strands of loose cultivation cooperate tacitly, and the division of labor is clear, one of them infiltrates the Fang City of Wind and Fire Island, and the other two are ambushed in the middle of the road where the Fang City and the spiritual veins on the mountain are located, and when the Fang Market is in chaos, they will be intercepted and killed halfway.
However, they didn't know that where the footsteps of the Heavenly Saint Sect were, where the night owl would appear, when the scattered cultivation gang that infiltrated Fang City began to secretly connect with each other, it was detected by the night owl, and in the face of this kind of Xuanjing sent to the door, Lin Xiao had no reason to give up.
