Chapter 125: The Island Lord's Mansion
In the East China Sea, there are countless islands. However, among the islands, there are five largest, namely Xuangui Island, Sidu Island, Erjiu Island, Hujin Island, and Triangle Island.
Xuangui Island, Sidu Island, Erjiu Island, Hujin Island, Triangle Island, the area is almost the same. Among them, Xuangui Island is the largest, Sidu Island is the most beautiful, Ejiu Island is the flattest, Hujin Island is the most precipitous, and Triangle Island is the most beautiful.
There is also an area between Xuangui Island, Sidu Island, Ejiu Island, Hujin Island, and Triangle Island.
In this area, the islands are dense, and in the vast sea, the islands are like the silver sand of the galaxy, and there are countless of them, all over the boundless sea.
And it is easier to kill people and loot treasures in the vast sea, because the sea will completely swallow up all the traces left behind, disappear without a trace, and it is impossible to track them at all.
This place is where many loose cultivators or small family forces who are unwilling to be oppressed by big forces gather here. For example, the current Kang family is also in this situation.
In this area, either diving into the sea, or exploring unknown uninhabited islands, or going to the sea to hunt the sea demon clan, seize cultivation materials, etc., are all in order to obtain more cultivation resources.
This area is a mixed bag. The territory of major sects such as the Xuangui Sword Sect is not bad, and the lawless land of those scattered cultivators in the outside world is so cruel that it is unimaginable.
This is also the reason why the Kang family wants Zhou Lei to come. After all, the inner disciples of the Xuangui Sword Sect can deter some lawbreakers.
"Kang Tian, Thirteenth Elder Kang Yang is right, I have broken through to the Bone Realm, stay in the Xuangui Sword Sect, it is better to go out and practice." Zhou Lei said with a smile.
"However, there is something dangerous about that area." Kang Tian said with some concern.
"There is danger, in order to go further, a stable environment, but people can't grow." Zhou Lei said.
"Okay then." Kang Tian finally nodded and agreed.
Xuangui Sword Sect, Wenxia Peak, Nei Shi Tang, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian took over the tasks assigned by the Kang family.
50,000 li outside Xuangui Island, within the range of the outlying islands, Huangdao is more than 1,600 li away from the outlying islands, 150 li to the east, 300 li to the west, 500 li to the north, and 300 li to the south.
There are a lot of miniature Yuan veins in this sea area, as well as a large number of Juyuan Lands that are not even as good as micro Yuan veins, and the concentration of Yuan Qi in the sea area is not low, so many low-level demon beasts have gathered.
There are a few miniature veins of red copper, and some of the islands also have elixirs and other spiritual plants.
With Huangdao as the center, it occupies a sea area within a radius of one hundred and twenty miles, hunts low-level demon beasts, mines two miniature copper mines, and cultivates elixirs and other spiritual plants on the islands where there is a land of Juyuan.
It can bring a lot of spar income to the Kang family every year, as well as all kinds of low-grade materials, which is very important to the Kang family.
Huangdao is a small island, the longest is 68 li, the widest is 53 li, the south is high and the north is low, and there are two miniature copper mines in the southern mountainous area.
At the center of Huangdao is a narrow mountain range that stretches for nearly ten miles, with lush trees growing and several rivers flowing from the mountains into the sea in their respective directions.
The mountains are surrounded by relatively gentle flatlands with fertile land, and the islands are surrounded by rivers where the mortals of the islands have established their food cultivation areas, while small towns are built around the rivers as if they were dotted around.
Zhou Lei, Kang Tian learned that in these small gathering towns, there would be more or less one or two low-level cultivators guarding them.
This is because on the island, in these dense mountains and forests, in addition to fierce beasts, there may be some low-level demon beasts. Only with the presence of cultivators can the residents gathered in the town settle down.
These low-level cultivators guarded the safety of the inhabitants, managed general affairs and disputes within the town, and were also responsible to the owner of the island, handing over the taxes on the elixir and spiritual materials produced by the residents or collected from the mountains and forests.
The output of cultivation resources on Huangdao is not abundant, there are only a few low-level spirit grasses, spirit plants are produced, and there are not many truly powerful demon beasts in the forest, which looks relatively barren and barren, and the vitality in the air is far from that in the inner gate of the Xuangui Sword Sect.
In the next time, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian settled down on Huangdao.
The Island Lord's Mansion is built next to the Yuanquan Mouth, the only miniature Yuan Vein in the entire island, although it is not as good as the Yuan Qi of the Cave Mansion when it was in the inner gate, but compared to the outside world, the Yuan Qi is already a lot richer, and it can barely support Zhou Lei and Kang Tian's cultivation.
The surrounding mayors also spread the news of the replacement of the cultivators of the Xuangui Sword Sect on the island, and they all went to the island owner's mansion with gifts, but Zhou Lei and Kang Tian didn't like to be lively, so they declined their kindness to hold a banquet, and just roughly talked about the next rules, as long as they remained the same.
Today's Zhou Lei, Kang Tian, may be nothing in the entire inner gate of the Xuangui Sword Sect.
But for these town mayors and cultivators, they were big people who deserved to kneel on the ground.
Zhou Lei, since Kang Tian has already said that he doesn't like to be lively. Naturally, they didn't dare to force it, so they sent everyone who came to the island owner's mansion with Xiao Guicao following the rules.
It turned out that the monks stationed on Huangdao no longer needed to hand over anything except about ten tons of cuprite every year.
Whether it is the various spiritual taxes paid by the civilians on the island, or the fang market built on the dock of the island, or the few spiritual field taxes opened up in Huangdao. As the owner of the island, Zhou Lei, Kang Tian can put it in his pocket as his own income.
Just in these aspects, generally speaking, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian get at least 10,000 low-grade spars from the island's various incomes every year. If you manage carefully, you can get more!
As the most important asset of Huangdao, the copper veins are also mined by the owners themselves, and they are almost self-financed. If it is managed properly, even if it is not only the part that is handed over to the sect, not only will it not lose, but it may also make a profit.
To be honest, in addition to the risk of abnormal weather, monster attacks, etc., in this island land, the owner of the island is the Earth Emperor. Freedom and ease of life, and the extra income is not low.
In some ways, it is even a little more carefree than the inner disciples.
Zhou Lei and Kang Tian also opened up one or two acres of spiritual fields around Yuanquankou, using the spring breeze drizzle technique to attract spiritual rain, irrigate spiritual fields, and plant spiritual things such as spiritual valleys or spiritual herbs and elixirs. This is considered to be a relaxing entertainment after practice.
The sun rises and the sun sets. Ploughing the fields, turning over the soil, sowing seeds and irrigating, but also in this leisurely pastoral life. Zhou Lei vaguely seemed to comprehend a sense of clarity back to self, which undoubtedly made Zhou Lei particularly happy in his heart.
The angry waves of the sky, the cold water meridian, and the spring breeze and rain technique are all slowly improving.
At the same time, Zhou Lei's sword flight is also extremely proficient. When he was fine, he took Kang Tian to Huangdao, and the white clouds were side by side.
Kang Tian's cultivation is also growing, if his estimation is not wrong, he should be able to break through to the Bone Realm within half a year.
Spring goes to autumn, cold comes and summer, and the time is close to the end of the year. During this time, there were also more chores on the island, first of all, all the important civil affairs on the island.
The many mayors on the island have paid the taxes that should be paid this year, many such as spirit mines, spirit grass, demon beast materials, and even some sea beast specialties harvested by going out to catch the sea, all of which are mixed in the island owner's mansion.
Fortunately, there is Kang Tian to help deal with it, otherwise I don't know how long I will do it on my own. Especially for some tedious things, Zhou Lei was even more headed, and all the last brain was handed over to Kang Tian to deal with.
