Chapter 242: The Prodigal Son Comes Home
Bai Zihua went to retreat and broke through, and Lin Xiao promoted a young Purple Mansion monk named Su Feiyu to manage Wind and Fire Island, anyway, Lin Xiao would not waste time on mundane affairs.
Three months later, the disciples who went to trade brought back a large number of raw materials and treasures to improve the spirit vein, and the spirit vein of Wind and Fire Island finally rose to the level of the third-order middle grade after Lin Xiao's investment at any cost for more than ten years, and Lin Xiao was ready to raise the spirit vein to the extreme of the third-order upper grade before leaving.
Wind and Fire Island was a calm, vast land at this time, and the safe environment brought a chance for mortals to recuperate, and Lin Xiao's monks also established effective management among mortals.
Especially the reward for mortal fertility, it is the most important, regardless of the birth of a boy or a girl, once there is a boy, immediately reward, from the field, the house, the elixir to strengthen the body, the elixir, the tax and servitude, set up layers of reward mechanism, which makes those mortals burst out of great fertility desire, thousands of children are born every year, more than ten years, the mortal population has exceeded 130,000, every three years can bring about ten monks to the wind and fire island.
In another ten years, the disciples cultivated by Wind and Fire Island will almost be able to take charge of themselves and form the main force among the new disciples of Wind and Fire Island.
Without external threats, Lin Xiao could concentrate on the development of Wind and Fire Island, and as the population of Fang City increased and his income increased greatly, Lin Xiao established twenty more alchemy rooms and refining rooms to meet the needs of those low-level refiners and alchemists.
And with the entry of alchemists and refiners, there are more and more materials required for their alchemists, except for a part of the scattered cultivation that can be provided, all rely on the shops to provide, under Lin Xiao's hint, Wanhua Island and other seven islands have invested heavily in establishing shops on Wind and Fire Island.
Moreover, their monks began to go to the open sea to hunt demon beasts, collect elixirs, dig minerals, and then invest in the shops of Wind and Fire Island to maintain operations.
In the same way, as more and more alchemists and refiners refined more and more elixir magic weapons, and more and more casual cultivators came to buy items, the ecological environment of the entire Wind and Fire Island has been benignly developed, and it has become more and more prosperous.
For this reason, Lin Xiao continued to improve the security level on the island, refining a lot of formations, turning half of the Wind and Fire Island into a war fortress, and many idle places were ambushed and killed.
After doing this, Lin Xiao was accumulating Xuanjing and preparing to build a treasure ship, a third-order treasure ship including all the weapons, it would probably need two million Xuanjing, a fourth-order treasure ship of about 3.5 million, and to protect Wind and Fire Island, at least two fourth-order and two third-order treasure ships would be needed.
And Wind and Fire Island now only has one snatched third-order treasure ship, and the gap is almost nine million Xuanjing, which is a very large number, even the Heavenly Saint Sect headquarters will take several years to accumulate.
As for Wind and Fire Island, Lin Xiao predicted that it would be difficult to get it in a hundred years, and now Wind and Fire Island spends about 500,000 Xuanjing a year, but the income is less than 300,000.
Among them, there are about 100,000 thousand spirit wines, and there are also hundreds of thousands of Fang City, and the rest are the contributions brought by 300 disciples, and the remaining gaps are all made up by Lin Xiao with spirit runes and formations.
The Lin family has a treasure ship, which the entire family has saved by saving money and saving it over hundreds of years, and in the final analysis, it is also the lack of the foundation of Wind and Fire Island.
Therefore, Lin Xiao asked his disciples to take two second-order treasure ships to go to sea to hunt demon beasts, although the level of the treasure ship was low, as long as the level of the monks was high, Lin Xiao asked them to go to sea at least five or more Purple Mansions to go out together to ensure safety.
Lin Xiao himself also continued to drill the level of the talisman, and under the condition of using the shrunken version of the Enlightenment Dao Pill at any cost, the level increased rapidly, and in one year, he broke through from the original third-order upper grade to the fourth-order lower grade.
The price of fourth-order spirit runes is already very expensive, even the worst fourth-order low-grade spirit runes cost more than 100,000 Xuanjing a piece, and some special ones are even as high as one million.
However, the raw materials for talismans are also more difficult to collect, fourth-order talisman pens, rune paper, fourth-order demon beasts' essence blood and various minerals are all treasures, and the inheritance of fourth-order spirit runes is even more difficult for the outside world to find.
Although there is a system of these things, Lin Xiao is reluctant to spend too many points, in addition to inheritance, most of the items still need to be purchased, and the partner is still the Hua family of Dafang Island.
After years of cooperation with Hua Congjie, Lin Xiao has been deeply entangled with the Hua family, and every year Lin Xiao and the Hua family's economic exchanges have reached more than one million Xuanjing, from various basic materials to Qianling wine, to the treasures that enhance the spiritual veins and the third- and fourth-order treasures used by Lin Xiao, there is everything, and the Hua family's profit from Lin Xiao is also more than 200,000 Xuanjing every year.
It is precisely because of this kind of economic exchange that the relationship between the two families is much closer than before, and the Hua family also gives Lin Xiao economic convenience, and the things that Lin Xiao came to buy are relatively cheap.
······
In the blink of an eye, another three years have passed, Bai Zihua lived up to expectations, broke through the Daogang period, and became the sixth Daogang monk of the Heavenly Saint Sect, Lin Xiao also held a major banquet for Bai Zihua on Wind and Fire Island, and people from the Lin family and other seven forces came to congratulate him.
"Zihua, now that you have broken through Daogang, I will hand over Wind and Fire Island to you, and I will go back to Lu Kingdom"
"Ah, master, I just broke through"
"Enough, how many islands in Luo Xinghai don't have a Daogang, it's not to survive, it's just that the way of survival is different, after I leave, Wind and Fire Island should be low-key, except for the affairs of the Eight Alliances, don't mix with other things"
"Yes, Master"
"In addition, I have arranged enough back-ups on the island, I will give you the formation control center, you only need to be in charge of Haofang City and the cultivation of new disciples.
Slowly accumulate strength, build a treasure ship, and hope that when I come back, I can see the fleet belonging to Wind and Fire Island."
"Master, a treasure ship with millions of Xuanjing, we haven't even reached the breakeven now."
"That's your business, I'm not in the Heavenly Saint Sect, isn't the Heavenly Saint Sect making money, you also have the relationship with the Hua family, how to do it, you make your own decision, these have some fourth-order spirit runes, and there is an empty rune, you have to accumulate some spirit runes and put them in, and when the time comes, it will be a killer weapon."
"Boss..."
"Don't try to escape, and, don't think I don't know, I'm not in the Heavenly Saint Sect, you guys went and killed Wu Gang"
"No, boss, really"
"Dare to hide it from me?"
"Okay, after Zichen broke through, he and Bai Xixi went to the north of Chen Guo and ambushed Wu Gang, but they didn't win, they only killed a lot of Wu family disciples, and they also suffered a little loss, and Wu Gang's injuries healed."
Bai Zihua had no choice but to confess honestly under Lin Xiao's coercive gaze, Lin Xiao was not there, and several members of their Bai family were indeed bold and reckless, and they went to ambush Wu Gang, but they didn't take advantage of it at all, and they suffered a small loss.
"Hmph, it seems that I'm not here, you guys are really bold, if I don't go back, will I even have to change the head?"
"Don't dare, boss, we don't dare, really, you will always be our boss"
"It's useless to show loyalty here, take practical action, at most thirty years, I will come back, you can do it yourself"
"Yes, Master"
"I'll announce that I'm going to travel, and I'll leave next month."
Lin Xiao said lightly, if you don't put some pressure on these people in Bai Zihua, they don't know how to be on their own, what's the matter with relying on Lin Xiao's protection all the time?
Then Lin Xiao announced that he was going to travel, and the power of Wind and Fire Island was handed over to Bai Zihua, and then he went to the Lin family and other friendly forces, which was regarded as informing them and letting them take care of Wind and Fire Island when Lin Xiao was away.
After that, he went to Dafang Island, the night owl has taken root on Dafang Island, is developing peripheral members, and has been quite successful, Lin Xiao saw the night owl's stationmaster in Luo Xinghai, and gave him some encouragement and funding, now the night owl has not produced a Daogang monk, this should not be, Lin Xiao's purpose of going back this time is to train some Daogang monks from the night owl.
After leaving Dafang Island, Lin Xiao went to Qianshan Island, and took the teleportation array on Qianshan Island to the south of Qin.
Lin Xiao met Po Yu, the night owl stationmaster of Qi State, and learned about the situation in Qi State, under Lin Xiao's ambush decades ago, the power of White Jade City has changed dramatically.
They went to the desert to find the relics of the Five Elements Sect, and invested huge manpower and material resources for this, more than 20 years ago, the Lingguang Ancestors of the Five Great Families were looking for various excuses to retreat or travel, but they actually went to the desert.
The night owl's inner line has only developed to the level of the Purple Mansion monk, and it is barely considered a middle level in the five major families, but they have also got enough news, whether the five major families have found the relics of the Five Elements Sect I don't know, but they really got a lot of opportunities in the desert.
It's a pity that the five major families fought for a while for this opportunity, and then they were ambushed by the local forces of the desert, and suffered heavy casualties, two of the Lingguang Ancestors died on the spot, and the other three Ancestors were seriously injured and fled back, and the Daogang Zifu monks brought out were even more out of ten.
For this reason, the five major families were injured, and the Spirit Sword Sect also took the opportunity to clean up the five major families, except for the Wei family, because one of the clansmen was not seriously affected by the Spirit Sword Gate, the other four families were suppressed very hard by the Spirit Sword Gate, and their disciples who worshiped the Spirit Sword Gate were marginalized one after another, not to mention, and even their share in the White Jade City was reduced a lot.
Moreover, the Spirit Sword Sect began to support the rest of the families to take the position, as long as the Spirit Sword Gate supported the family to produce a Spirit Light Monk, the status of the four major families would not be guaranteed, including the Bai family.
The ancestor of the Bai family returned from a serious injury in the desert, which has already hurt the foundation, and there is no hope in this life, and it is said that the longevity will also be greatly reduced, and it is not known whether he can live to be eight hundred years old.
Po Yu suggested that Lin Xiao prepare to introduce the power of the Heavenly Saint Sect into the White Jade City again, of course, not yet, he has to wait for the four major families to completely weaken.
