"Come on, my shipowner has agreed to take you out to sea. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The crew beckoned.

"Thank you!"

Ye Fan got on the small sea boat and thanked the dark-faced crew member on the armor.

He glanced at the small ship, which had a flag on its mast with the words "Wanbao Chamber of Commerce" written on it.

The ship is divided into two floors, with only one owner's room on the upper deck and a cabin on the lower deck, which is for the miners and warriors.

The ships were full, and the sailors quickly sailed, leaving the port of Donglai, and gradually heading out to sea.

In the owner's room on the deck, an old man with a green beard in a light blue cloth shirt pushed open the door, moved slightly, appeared on the deck, and looked at Ye Fan, who had just boarded the ship, expressionlessly.

But Ye Fan was wearing an ordinary white shirt, and he couldn't see anything famous.

"Captain, do you want tea on deck?"

"It's stuffy in the room, just rest on this deck, and blow the wind!"

Immediately, two crew members ran over, set up a seat and a tea seat on the deck of the ship, and diligently made tea. It is also pleasant to drink tea on the deck of the sea boat in the sea breeze.

"How many layers are you in the martial arts stage? My Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has a mine on the sea, and this time I was supposed to bring thirty martial artists to the island to mine, but one person failed to come due to illness, and there was just one missing.

There is a lot of risk at sea, and a fight at sea is nothing more than to make money, and mining in the mine of my Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is quite profitable. According to the cultivation of the martial artist period, it can be as little as hundreds of taels and more than thousands of taels in a month, which is more than twice as much as what he earned in Donglai City.

If a warrior wants to go out to sea, he can't do it without a few hundred taels of silver. If you are willing to mine in my mine, I will waive the boat fare!"

The old man with the green beard sat down on the chair and said lightly.

Ye Fan looked at the blue-bearded old man. The old man with a blue beard had a dark face, his brows were tightly locked, and he seemed to be preoccupied.

"I am Wuzun, and there is no shortage of silver. ”

Ye Fan said flatly.

"Wuzun?"

The old man with the green beard was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly eased a lot, and he said to the two crew members, "The old man is sluggish, show this son!"

There was more awe in the eyes of the two crew members, and they hurriedly moved a seat for Ye Fan and made tea.

Zheng Zhen'an, the president of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, said that it was the Chamber of Commerce, but in fact, it was just a small businessman in Donglai City, with only a dozen sea boats, operating a few small mines under his hands, and earning some hard-earned money. ”

The old man with the green beard laughed at himself slightly, and then turned to Ye Fan and asked, "I don't know why Your Excellency went to sea?" Let's see if the old man can help." ”

"In Xia Ye Fan. There is nothing else, I just want to go out to sea to hunt a few sea beasts and earn some yuan stones or something. If it's convenient for President Cheng, can you take me for a ride and I'll disembark at the islands along the way?"

Ye Fan smiled lightly and said half-truthfully.

Naturally, he wouldn't say that going to sea was actually just to facilitate the cultivation of bloodline combat skills.

As everyone knows, the East China Sea is no safer than the land of Donglai County, and the danger is far more than that of the land. Very few martial artists would consider cultivating at sea, and generally only stayed in the city or cultivated on land, and most of them went to sea to earn Yuan Stones.

But on the contrary, if it is just to earn Yuan Stones, write a few copies of "low-level and inferior" Yuan Qi runes in the city, and exchange a little money for a little money. Anyway, he still has the title of "rune apprentice", and writing some "low-level inferior" runes to earn a few small bucks is also a legitimate profession, and others will not be suspicious.

He went out to sea to find sea beasts, not Yuanshi, but purely to facilitate the cultivation of bloodline combat skills and bloodline cultivation techniques. Only there were enough sea beasts in the East China Sea to provide him with an abundant source of qi and blood.

"Are you going to go out to sea to hunt sea beasts with the power of one person?"

President Zheng Zhenan was taken aback, shook his head and said, "Brother Ye, it's not that my brother looks down on you. It is very difficult for a Martial Venerable to kill a sea beast at sea, not to mention whether you have the ability to kill or injure a sea beast.

Even if you could hurt them, if the sea beast was injured, it would run away, and they would sink into the sea. With the strength of you and my Wuzun, I don't have the ability of the martial marquis to go to the sky and enter the sea, so I'm afraid that I can only stare at them and watch them escape!"

"It's up to you. ”

Ye Fan smiled and didn't explain too much.

His purpose was not to kill the sea beasts, and it didn't matter if they couldn't escape. As long as he can fight the sea beasts, he can borrow their qi and blood for use.

Zheng Zhenan pondered for a moment and persuaded: "Our ship is going to the 'Phuket Islands', there are hundreds of islands of different sizes on this island, and many of them are mineralized.

One of the islands produces blue water sea sand, which is the material for refining water mysteries. This island is the property of my Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

However, there are often sea beasts around the island, and the Martial Venerable Stage Realm guard force in the mine is very insufficient, which is quite a headache for me. Hiring a guard on the first floor of the Martial Venerable period will cost at least two yuan stones per month.

The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has been a little strapped in recent years, and it is all able to save money, and it does not dare to hire more Wuzun to garrison on the mining island. Now on this island, there are only three martial masters in total.

Since Brother Ye is going to sea to hunt sea beasts, why don't you just go to my island, and I will give you a yuan stone for a month. You have a place where you can hunt sea beasts with peace of mind, and my mining island is also more peaceful, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Your island. Is it convenient to hunt sea beasts? ”

Ye Fan hesitated.

"Don't worry, this is the island of my Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, you can do whatever you want. Moreover, everyone on this mining island is in the mine and the mine, and they will not run out to avoid being attacked by sea beasts. You hunt sea beasts around the island, and you can do whatever you want. ”

Zheng Zhenan said with a smile.

"It's okay, I don't want to ride your boat for nothing. I'll go to your mining island to clean up the sea beasts around the island, and you pay me a yuan stone a month, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. However, if there are no sea beasts around the island, I will have to leave then. ”

Ye Fan pondered for a moment and said.

"Okay, brother, refresh!"

Zheng Zhenan laughed and agreed.

The salary of a yuan stone, it is very cost-effective to ask a Wuzun to be a mine island guard for a month. This is in the entire Donglai County, I'm afraid that I can't invite other martial artists to do it.

Small sea-going ships hoisted their sails on the sea and traveled for nearly four or five hours, about three or four hundred miles.

Offshore, there are hardly any sea beasts.

But dozens of miles away from the coast of Donglai, you can already see sea beasts in the sea from time to time.

The cabin room on the lower deck was stuffy, crowded with dozens of martial artists, and Ye Fan didn't want to stay inside, so he simply stayed on the deck to breathe.

He and Zheng Zhen'an were the only two martial artists on this small sea ship, so they guarded the deck together to protect the safety of the sea ship.

Fortunately, no sea beasts attacked the ship.

At sunset, Ye Fan stood on the deck of the sea ship, and gradually saw a group of islands in the distance. Smoke can still be seen on some of the islands, apparently miners cooking over fires.

"That is the Phuket Islands! The bluewater placer island occupied by my Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is on the edge of the archipelago. I guess it will be there in a while. ”

Zheng Zhenan's face was a little dark, he looked at the islands in the distance with his hands, and said with a hint of sadness.

"Oh!"

Ye Fan was thoughtful.

President Cheng said that he only has one island, but some of the other islands are still inhabited. If the expectation is good, then there should be some other chamber of commerce, mining all kinds of sand and gravel in this Phuket Islands, not only Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

"Are there a lot of mining islands in this Phuket archipelago?"

Ye Fan asked a little strangely.

"Not much!"

Zheng Zhenan shook his head and said, "This Phuket Islands is the closest small archipelago to Donglai County. Originally, it was the industry of the 'Tianyi Pavilion' Chamber of Commerce, which in turn was the industry of Dongnae County Government, and it was the largest chamber of commerce in the entire county. The Tianyi Pavilion Chamber of Commerce has been operating in this archipelago for thousands of years and has exhausted all the rich ores.

The rest were small mines and semi-waste mines, and Tianyi Pavilion was too lazy to dig hard, so he sold this piece of Phuket Islands to five small chambers of commerce, and handed over half of the obtained ore to them every year. My Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is one of them, and there are also the Qionghai Gang, the Black Knife Society, the Golden Flower Fang, and the Huoyun Pavilion in Donglai City. The five families are divided equally, each accounting for 20% of the island. ”

"The five families are divided equally, in that case, there should be dozens of islands in President Zheng's hands, even if they are not all mining islands, but they will not be too few!

Ye Fan asked.

"When the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce was at its peak, it did hold dozens of islands!"

Zheng Zhenan smiled bitterly: "But that was a hundred years ago." I, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, have been losing money all year round, and I can't make ends meet, so I can only barely make ends meet. Now I am guarding a blue-water sea placer island, where is there still this man to occupy more islands.

It's not easy to defend this island. Every month on the night of the full moon, a small group of beasts will come to the island and absorb the moonlight on the island.

This beast tide will attack the miners and Wuzun guards on the island.

My Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is getting old and has meager financial resources, so I can't afford to invite many martial artists to garrison on the island, so I can only abandon other islands and concentrate on guarding one island.

Tianyi Pavilion actually doesn't care which of us occupies these islands, but just wants to get as much mineral sands as possible, so he set up a rule in the Phuket Islands: 'After the beast tide, if there is no one on the island, the rest can occupy it at will, and whoever occupies it will get it.' If the other few are not satisfied, they will directly send someone to fight them, and if they win, they will go to the mining. ’”

Zheng Zhenan sighed, "I don't expect anything, just don't lose this last remaining blue water sea placer island." Otherwise, my Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will have no business to do in this East China Sea. ”

Ye Fan only then understood a little, it turned out that this Phuket Islands was like this.

However, this should not affect him much.

He is now at the first level of the Martial Venerable stage, and he has been cultivating on the island here for a year and a half at most, so it is estimated that he may not stay for long.

I only hope that this small archipelago closest to Donglai has enough sea beasts.

Otherwise, he would have to find another distant island to cultivate, which would be a bit troublesome.
