Leizhou has always had a reputation for being rich in sugarcane, and it was an important sugar base in the Qing Dynasty, and the sugar sold to other places every year was worth two or three hundred thousand yuan, which was quite remarkable as a remote state, but for the wealthy Zhao Da Lao, the profit of sugar was no longer attractive, that is, it was a thankless thing for him to monopolize all the sugar business in the three counties of Leizhou.

The name of Xuwen County is not well known, but there are many specialties, among which:

The shark fin produced in Wailuo Port is very famous and was designated as a tribute by the Qing Dynasty royal family;

Xu Wenliang ginger is of excellent quality and high nutritional value, and has been a tribute since the Song Dynasty;

There is a tropical rainforest in the northwest of Xuwen County, there are a large number of South China tigers inhabiting, and often go to the countryside and even enter the county town to harass, the people have killed tigers, and the tiger bone wine is made with the local unique papaya, which is said to be a tribute;

In addition, Xuwen County is also the only whaling base in the Qing Dynasty, and the fishermen of Xuwen County go out to sea to hunt whales and refine whale oil, which is also a direct tribute to the royal family, and there is no other name for the entire Qing Dynasty.

In addition, Xu Wen also produces nanzhu, tea, sisal, etc., which are all good livelihoods.

After a brief investigation in Xuwen County, Zhao Dagui took Qiying's name to ask to see the magistrate of Xuwen County, which was better than Shang Fang's sword, and the other party was shocked, and he almost had to respond.

Zhao Dagui said a few polite words to the county, gave some gifts, and made a simple request to Xu Wenzhi County, that is, he heard that the fishermen in Xu Wen County were good at catching ichthyosaurs, so he wanted to ask for a few ichthyosaurs at a high price to taste fresh.

The ichthyosaurus is a whale, and the magistrate felt that this request was not difficult to meet, so he sent someone to call a few Li Zheng and Baojia from Wailuo Harbor, and mentioned this matter to them and asked them to help solve it.

Those whaling villages gathered in Wailuogang, and the local people were fierce, but Zhao Dagui was willing to pay a lot of money, and there was a magistrate introduced by the county, that is, the big patron, these governors and armor guards agreed to let Zhao Dagui go to the whaling scene to watch from the sidelines, and then pay to buy the captured whales.

The price of whales here is extremely cheap, that is, adult whales weigh more than 20 tons, and the price is about 1,000 yuan, which is cheaper than pork, and Zhao Dagui can't help but be overjoyed.

Many of the whaling fishermen here have been doing this for generations, and they have very rich experience in finding and hunting whales, but the equipment is very rudimentary, and after more than 100 people take a dozen boats to the sea area where whales are frequented, the strongest and most experienced fishermen throw out the local unique whaling hook (which should be similar to the Western whaling fork) to hook the whale, and then other boats rush up and throw the hook to kill the whale, the whole scene is extremely bloody and dangerous.

The West has long abandoned the use of whaling forks and switched to much safer whaling cannons, which can easily hunt whales from a distance of forty or fifty meters, but here it still uses cold weapons to engage in short-handed combat.

Zhao Dagui asked people to watch the whole battle on the Dongfang, and he was silent for a while.

After killing the whale, the fishermen took the whale back to Wailuo Harbor with a rope, dragged it to a bush on a remote shore and handed it to Zhao Dagui, and after getting 1,100 pieces of ocean, he left happily (this whale was about 234 tons).

After that, Zhao Dagui asked the captain to drive the Dongfang to a farther place to anchor, let everyone rest in the fishing village behind the boat, and then take Zhang Meng and a few other trustworthy dart masters of the Fuwei Dart Bureau to quietly touch the remote desert where the whales are placed.

"Zhang Darttou, as I said before, you should be on guard in the outer circle and don't let anyone approach. Zhao Dagui said to Zhang Meng, who was the leader.

"Deng Xian's martial arts are extremely evil, and he himself is also unpredictable, do you really want to practice the martial arts he left behind?

You are a huge rich man in the world, there is actually no point in cultivating advanced martial arts, you just enjoy wealth at home, why bother to wade into this troubled water?" Zhang Meng sighed and said.

It turned out that Zhang Meng once fought side by side with Zhao Dagui, but was later injured by Deng Xian, and he was saved by Zhao Dagui's ginseng, so he was extremely close to Zhao Dagui.

Zhao Dagui knew that the blood nerve was a demonic exercise, and he had been secretly cultivating, but Zhang Meng was entrusted by the Fuwei Dart Bureau to protect Zhao Dagui closely, and found that Zhao Dagui was practicing a very powerful demonic technique according to his breath, and then confronted Zhao Dagui face to face.

Zhao Dagui didn't hide it, telling him that he was cultivating blood nerves, Zhang Meng was shocked and told him that although the Demon Dao Exercises could be achieved quickly, most of the cultivators did not end well, so don't continue to cultivate, but Zhao Dagui insisted on cultivating, and Zhang Meng was at most an employee of the dart bureau hired by Zhao Dagui, and he couldn't stop it.

As for the distinction between good and evil, it is necessary for a person on the righteous path to punish him when he encounters the cultivation of demonic path exercises, but this kind of stalk does not exist in this plane, as long as he does not offend himself definitely, the righteous path person will not care what exercises others practice.

Of course, this also has something to do with Zhang Meng's lack of knowledge and not knowing that the cultivation method of blood nerves is so evil, otherwise he will work harder to stop Zhao Dagui.

Before coming to Leizhou, Zhao Dagui discussed with Zhang Meng that he wanted to use Leizhou's ichthyosaur essence blood to cultivate, hoping that Zhang Meng would lead the dart masters to protect the Dharma and not let idlers approach, after all, the scene of this martial arts cultivation is extremely weird, and if ordinary people see it, it can cause countless troubles.

"I have to practice this martial art, and I hope that Brother Zhang will help me protect the Fa. Zhao Dagui sighed and said.

At this point, Zhang Meng couldn't say anything, and took the dart masters to guard outside the bushes to prevent others from approaching, and at the same time strictly ordered the dart masters not to spread anything they saw for a while.

When everything was ready to stop, Zhao Dagui stood alone next to the whale carcass, and sighed with emotion for a while: "After preparing for so long, this step will eventually take a step." ”

It turned out that Zhao Dagui's cultivation of blood nerves had been fruitful these days, and it was finally time to take a very important step.

In the Transformation Pool of Zhao Dagui's Sea of Consciousness Space, there was a pale red bead the size of a ping-pong ball, which was the seed of blood nerve true qi that Zhao Dagui had cultivated.

From the end of February to the present, after taking a large amount of American ginseng cultivation, this bead has grown from the original size of a millet grain to the current point, and it is only one step away from being able to complete its work and achieve a metamorphosis.

Zhao Dagui took out a American ginseng from the wooden box he carried, as thick as a child's arm, just like a radish, it was the only American ginseng that Zhao Dagui obtained after changing for more than half a year--- there were many hundred-year-old ginseng and three-hundred-year-old ginseng Zhao Dagui, but there was only this one that was so big.

Zhao Dagui swallowed the American ginseng little by little from the roots, and felt a hot breath rising, his whole body was warm, and he seemed to want to sleep.

Sensing this, Zhao Dagui secretly shouted that it was not good, this was too much supplementation, ordinary people directly took such a mountain ginseng, because the supplement was too much, maybe they would have to fall asleep and die on the spot.

Fortunately, the blood nerve true qi is the best at devouring the essence, Zhao Dagui's heart moved, the true qi seed has come out of the sea of knowledge, flows along the meridians, and finally comes to the heart into the blood vessels, and then attaches to a drop of blood, following the blood flow throughout the body, homeopathic to swallow the essence of American ginseng that has melted into the blood vessels.

Zhao Dagui performed seventy-two weeks of merit, devoured the essence of the American ginseng, and then withdrew the true qi seed from the blood vessel, and returned to Zhihai along the meridians.
