Chapter 39: The Opening

―――――――――――――――― thanks to the two brothers "ZD Laughing and Forgetting People" and "Yu Family Books" for their rewards. Today's new book period has passed, and it has come down from the list on the homepage, and it will depend on the brothers to vote for it in the future, so thank you all here. ――――――――――――

Red polyps secrete a skeleton called red coral through the ectoderm. Rigid colonies grow in all directions on the basal column, creating a hairy shape. The branches are distributed with hemispherical short calyxes, and the polyps with base extension are white and transparent, with eight small pinnae with good antennae. Once the coral is touched, the polyp is retracted within the cauldrium. The columnar branches have calcareous bone needle bone fragments, radially symmetrical, and the warts are short rod-shaped. The color is usually dark red.

The ancient Romans believed that coral had the function of preventing disasters and giving people wisdom, stopping bleeding and driving away heat. It is closely related to Buddhism, and Buddhists in India and Tibet in China regard red coral as the embodiment of the Buddha, and they use coral as a mascot to worship the Buddha, mostly used to make Buddhist beads, or used to decorate statues, and is a highly prized jewelry gemstone variety.

As the saying goes, "thousand-year-old coral is ten thousand years red", and in the collecting world, red coral is considered to be a collection with a thousand-year-old spirituality. As the value of red coral is gradually recognized, and the non-renewable nature of red coral is recognized, the price of red coral has been bullish. Red coral and pearl amber are listed as the three major organic gemstones, and are also listed as one of the seven treasures in the Oriental Buddhist scriptures, and have been regarded as rich and auspicious since ancient times.

At this time, Lin Fan had already dived to a height of about six hundred meters below the surface of the sea, which was a place that no one else could reach, and he began to search and pick red coral among the reef while searching.

At this depth, the smallest red coral grows 10 centimeters tall and weighs about 100 grams. Lin Fan didn't pick them all, he chose those red corals that were more than 20 centimeters in size, and the beads were like a small tree, some were pink, some were blood red, very beautiful.

By the time he reached a depth of 700 meters, Lin Fan had already picked eight beads of red coral of more than 20 centimeters, of which three beads had reached more than 30 centimeters and two beads of more than 40 centimeters, with a total weight of more than 5 kilograms.

At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly found a huge red coral, which was seventy or eighty centimeters high, growing on the top of a fortress similar to that formed by several coral reefs, and the color of this red coral was blood red, crystal clear, and it also emitted bursts of red light, which was very extraordinary.

Lin Fan was overjoyed and immediately swam over and came to the red coral. As soon as he entered the range of light emitted by the red coral, Lin Fan's spirit perked up, as if his spiritual power had been touched.

He immediately blessed his soul, sat down cross-legged under the red coral tree, and practiced the Great Derivation Origin Book in such a pose, and instantly established a connection with the mysterious energy, refining and fusing wisps of mysterious energy into his body, and his physical fitness and spiritual strength increased rapidly at the same time.

Just when Lin Fan was immersed in cultivation, everyone also began to return to the fishing boat, and everyone took out the red coral they had picked, and a pearl of red or bright red coral trees emitted bursts of light, which made Zeng Xiaotong, Wei Jiacheng, Gao Xiao and others next to him envious, and even Zhu Zicai and Liu Bin, who were on the other fishing boat, were also a little red-eyed.

"Sister, you are still the most powerful, this pearl is the largest red coral, I'm afraid it's very expensive." Zhou Xiaolin didn't understand the value of red coral, but he and Hong Yan also picked four red corals and immediately asked Wang Yuyan.

"Nowadays, the market price of red coral is basically about 2,000 yuan per gram, and my pearl may have forty or fifty grams, which should be worth about 100,000 yuan. These four beads of yours should weigh seventy or eighty grams, and it is estimated that they are worth about 150,000 or 60,000. Wang Yuyan explained to everyone with a smile, which immediately made Zhou Xiaolin and Hong Yan excited, and regardless of the fact that there were so many people watching next to them, they hugged each other and kissed.

"Everyone, you also know that our Wang family is engaged in jewelry, and we are willing to buy these red coral at a price of two thousand and one grams, and if you want, you can trade it immediately, and we will transfer it to you directly."

Wang Biao immediately shouted, he had an agreement with the previous crews, but the dozens of crew members recruited later did not know about it, so he explained it to everyone in public, and the other crew members also helped explain.

Soon, all the crew members sold the red coral they picked to Wang Biao's sisters and brothers, some with one bead and some with two beads, but even the smallest red coral had six or seven grams, and after selling it, there was immediately an extra 13,000 or 4,000 yuan in the account, which made them overjoyed.

"By the way, there seem to be a lot of crabs down there, all of them are very large, some are dark red, and some have two eyes." At this time, some of the crew members talked about the crabs on the reef island.

"Gee, how did I forget that? That's safflower crab and tiger head crab, both of which are valuable. Let's go down and catch crabs, and I promise that Mr. Lin will give you a bonus when he comes back. Zhou Xiaolin had recognized them under the sea before, but he had forgotten about the red coral for the time being, and he immediately shouted at the mention of it.

"Everyone has made money, and they have rested, so let's go to the sea and catch crabs. Remember to be careful, some crabs have very powerful pincers. When Zhang Zhide heard this, he immediately urged.

He is the oldest of the four fishing boats, the oldest in qualification, and the most trusted by Lin Fan, equivalent to the deputy commander-in-chief. Now Lin Fan has not returned, so he commanded everyone without giving in.

As soon as they heard that there was a bonus, the crew laughed and drank some mineral water, then put on their wetsuits and went to sea with their pockets on them. Originally, their job was to help the boss make money, but now they have made money first, and they can't be sloppy anymore, so they are all in a hundred times more energetic to catch crabs, only Wang Biao, Zhou Xiaolin and the two girls did not go down, they just experienced the feeling of diving, but the body can't withstand long-term diving.

It didn't take long for the crew to emerge from the sea one after another, dump bags of crabs onto the deck, and then continue to dive, or take a break, or drink a few sips of water, and so on for almost three or four hours in a row, they were too tired to find the tiger crabs and safflower crabs below.

Of course, they also complied with Lin Fan's regulations, and only caught those big crabs that were more than a catty, but let go of the young crabs that had not yet grown up, so that these rare seafood would not become extinct in the future.

After classifying and processing the two kinds of crabs, it was found that there were more than 13,000 catties of safflower crabs, while tiger crabs were only more than 9,000 catties, adding more than 20,000 catties of fish to the fishing boat.

"The market price of safflower crab is about 18, which should be more than 2.3 million; The market price of tiger crab is only 15, which is only more than 1.3 million. However, this batch of crabs together is about 36.7 million, which is not bad. Zhou Xiaolin calculated the accounts for Lin Fan, but after the last time he went to sea, he was already able to look down on this gain.

"They're too powerful, they've earned more than three million in just a few hours, so wouldn't being a fisherman be the best profession in the world? Not only does the boss make money quickly, but if you look at their crews, each of them will earn thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars on the next trip to the sea, and this kind of work can't be compared to those white-collar workers. Gao Xiao, who had been watching the excitement next to him, sighed and said.

"Otherwise, I'll resign after I go back, and I'll come to this ship as a crew member, what do you say?" Wei Jiacheng did not object, but asked.

"Then forget it, I guess neither your family nor my family will agree. After all, society also needs all walks of life, and it is impossible for any industry to make money, so all of them will rush over. Gao Xiao thought about it, shook his head and said, after all, their current job is still relatively decent, and their family will definitely not allow them to do that.

"Why hasn't that Lin Fan come back yet? It's been four or five hours since he went to sea, so it's impossible to be underwater all the time, right? And why didn't any of these people worry about him? Did they not find out or did they get used to it? This Lin Fan looks ordinary, but he may have an extraordinary identity, and he may be able to use his power to avenge Qingyan. ”

And Zeng Xiaotong, who no one paid attention to, has always been in that corner, although sometimes she also pays attention to things on the boat, but most of the time she is facing the sea and doesn't know what she is thinking.

It's just that no one knows that all she was thinking about at this time was Lin Fan, because Lin Fan didn't come back after going to sea for four or five hours, which made her more and more suspicious, more and more surprised and shocked, and even had some different ideas.

However, at this time, Lin Fan's speed of fusing and refining mysterious energy was much faster than before, and three or four hours of cultivation was already equivalent to the effect of ten days of previous practice, so when he finished his practice, he heard An An's voice: "The captain's authority has been increased to six percent, and he has obtained the support of one escort team and five armed engineering wings, and he has obtained the first secret treasure to open the imprint space." ”

As soon as Lin An'er's voice ended, Lin Fan felt that the palm of his right hand warmed up, and then the pyramid imprint pattern of the Alia Sai appeared, and a faint white light appeared.

Then, Lin Fan's eyes flickered, and he found that he actually saw an empty room, about twenty cubic in size, five meters long, two meters in width and height, surrounded by an invisible barrier, as if it were a wall.

Subsequently, Lin An'er came to a consciousness, which made Lin Fan understand that this space was the imprint space of the Aliassai, which belonged to the captain's exclusive personal private space, which was used to carry some valuables and belongings, and only needed to use spiritual power to touch the imprint to put in and take out the items, and the items inside would not change for a long time.

Lin Fan was overjoyed, with this space, he could take some really valuable treasures with him in the future, which was simply too convenient. Then he looked at the red coral, and felt that this red coral was simply a priceless treasure, and it could actually help him cultivate, so he must take it away.

"I just don't know if it can help me practice after taking it away?" Lin Fan was a little hesitant when he took this red coral, but in the end he still took it, after all, such a rare treasure was too rare, and it would be miserable if someone else accidentally discovered it.

However, just as Lin Fan took away the red coral, which weighed more than two kilograms, he suddenly saw a pair of beautiful conch conch in the crevice of the reef below it, so he picked it up and took a closer look. >
