Chapter 122 Fire Dragon Island
(please subscribe for the third update)
Three days later...
The treasure ship arrives at Fire Dragon Island.
Fire Dragon Island is a prosperous island.
Take a look outside the island first.
There are red boats flying in the sky, accompanied by birds of all colors.
There are ships of various sizes below, gathering together.
On the pier, ships were parked, launched, and goods were transported, and it was very lively.
Take another look inside the island.
The island is densely covered with attics, row after row, and smoke is curling up from cooking stoves.
On the streets, there is a steady flow of people, passing each other one after another, and businesses are flourishing.
Fu Baochuan: "The vast majority of people on Fire Dragon Island are mortals, casual cultivators and Mao Gong disciples only account for at most 10%, and there are almost no formal disciples."
Hou Dongsheng: "Look, there are at least 70,000 to 80,000 people on this island. Even Yicheng Mao Gong disciples have 7,000 to 8,000 people."
Fu Baochuan: "There are indeed so many. Almost all the casual cultivators from the nearby sea areas gather here. After all, the sea is vast and there is rarely such a place to stay that lacks everything."
Hou Dongsheng: "There must be a market for so many casual cultivators!"
Fu Baochuan: "What Fellow Daoist Hou said is true. It's just that this Fire Dragon Island is not a market but a market. It is an independent repair market jointly managed by our eight major chambers of commerce. The rules are almost the same as those of the market. It can also be said that this place is open every day.
Market.”
"A market for casual cultivators?"
"Exactly."
"You open a store and don't pay rent?"
"Our eight major chambers of commerce do have to pay some taxes to the Fire Dragon Gang, but casual cultivators set up street stalls at will."
Zheng Bing: "Fellow Daoist Fu said that there are almost no formal disciples on such a large island, so isn't this island under the control of the Demon Flame Sect?"
"Of course it belongs to the Demon Flame Sect! It's just that although the Demon Flame Sect is one of the ten major demonic paths, it has too few formal disciples. There are only a few thousand people in total. Most of them are nesting on Fire Stone Island to absorb abundant spiritual energy. This Fire Dragon Island is called
Although the head is ringing, there is no spiritual vein, and the spiritual energy is extremely thin. The monks of the Demon Flame Sect will naturally not live here for a long time. However, the business here is prosperous and almost everything is available. Therefore, the inner disciples of the Demon Flame Sect often come here to purchase goods.
.”
Hou Dongsheng: "The Fire Dragon Gang that Fellow Daoist Fu just mentioned is the actual manager of this island?"
"That's right... Fire Dragon Island is the headquarters of the Fire Dragon Gang. On the surface, all mortals and casual cultivators on the island are under the management of the Fire Dragon Gang. The Fire Dragon Gang is actually a subordinate gang of the Demon Flame Sect. The two are originally one, but secretly
This Fire Dragon Island is still an autonomous alliance of independent cultivators headed by our eight major chambers of commerce, and we discuss and manage it together." Fu Baochuan said quite proudly.
Zheng Bing: "Presumably Fellow Daoist Fu is one of the stewards of the eight major chambers of commerce."
Fu Baochuan: "Hahahaha...exactly!"
Zheng Bing: "To secretly manage such a large island, Fellow Daoist Fu as the manager has much more weight than me as the shopkeeper."
Fu Baochuan: "Miss Zheng misunderstood. The eight chambers of commerce and the monks jointly manage the island. The management of this island depends on the rules agreed upon by everyone. The only ones who can really ignore the rules on this island and run rampant are the Demon Flame Sect."
Monk."
Zheng Bing: "If you don't follow the rules and run wild, wouldn't it mean that you can kill people and steal treasures in broad daylight? If the monks have no scruples, then the market will not be chaotic?"
Hou Dongsheng: "Hmph! The Demon Flame Sect monks first break the heart of shame, the second break the heart of pity, and the third break the heart of love. Isn't it reasonable for such a heartless bitch to kill people and seize treasures in broad daylight?"
Fu Baochuan: "You two don't know. Generally speaking, the monks from the Demon Flame Sect will not touch our eight major chambers of commerce. After all, we pay taxes on time every year. However, if those casual cultivators have treasures in their hands and are accidentally stolen by the Demon Flame Sect,
If a disciple sees it, it is probably impossible to save it. Fortunately, there are not many inner disciples of the Demon Flame Sect. Our eight major chambers of commerce will keep their images. Whenever we see an inner disciple of the Demon Flame Sect coming out to shop at a street stall, we will notify the casual cultivators with a coded signal.
Let them hide their precious things, hehe... Losing property is a small matter, but losing a life is a big deal."
Image retention!?
"Dare to ask fellow Taoist Fu... are there any images of the monks in the foundation-building stage?" Hou Dongsheng asked with his eyes narrowed.
"That's not true... How dare you use the photo-taking technique in front of the foundation-building monks? However, the identity of the monks of the Demon Flame Sect is actually easy to distinguish. As long as you see that kind of arrogant face and arrogant expression, don't take out the treasure, let alone go there
Damn it, although the Demon Flame Sect monks are arrogant, they are not madmen after all. They will not kill people at will. Even if they encounter treasures, they will mainly intimidate them. As long as they give up their property, they will not lose their lives."
Hou Dongsheng: "That's it. My junior sister and I are not familiar with this place on Fire Dragon Island, and we are new faces. We might be bullied in the market if there is no one to guide us. Could you please ask Fellow Taoist Fu to take us around here?"
Take a stroll to increase your knowledge?"
Fu Baochuan: "Um... two fellow Taoists, please forgive me... After landing on the island, I will take a fire dragon boat to go to Huoshi Island to report your situation to Mr. Lang. This is official business and cannot be delayed at all, but I will go to Huoshi Island."
It will take at least three days to go back and forth to the island. During these three days, I will arrange for one person to take two people to visit Fire Dragon Island."
Hou Dongsheng: "Thank you very much."
"You two are distinguished guests, so you don't have to be polite."
The treasure ship docked.
Fu Baochuan, Hou Dongsheng, Zheng Bing and the invisible Yin Nu got off the ship one after another.
Fu Baochuan took the two of them to the Fire Dragon Island Branch of Hongyun Chamber of Commerce.
What is surprising is that the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce does not open a gambling house, but a pawn shop.
You must know that Lucky Gambling Houses are spread all over the world.
"Why not a gambling house?" Zheng Bing asked in surprise.
Fu Baochuan: "Miss Zheng... you are also in the gambling house business. You also know that it is impossible to do this kind of business without a backer. The Demon Flame Sect is in a free-range state on Fire Dragon Island. There is no spiritual vein on this island.
There are no offerings during the foundation building period. If we set up a gambling house here, we will be smashed by people every day, so we might as well make a fortune silently as a pawn shop."
"I see."
The three of them passed through the door of Hongyun Pawn House together. Several old shopkeepers in the pawn shop were closing their eyes and relaxing, waiting for business to come to them.
The three of them walked along a side path, passed through a gatehouse, and entered the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard has a quiet environment.
When Fu Baochuan entered this place, he shouted loudly: "Where are the people?"
"Here you are, young one." Two servants in linen clothes quickly stepped forward to obey the order.
"These two are distinguished guests from the General Director of the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce. We will immediately arrange good rooms for them and prepare good food for them."
"I understand, dear guest. Please come with me."
Fu Baochuan: "You can go alone. Go and fetch the monkey."
Servant: "Master Monkey is practicing his stall outside right now."
Fu Baochuan: "Then you go to the street stall and call him back to me!"
Servant: "I understand, little one."
Hou Dongsheng and Zheng Bing followed a servant to see the room.
Facing the sea, with gentle sea breeze, and backed by the courtyard, it is quiet and elegant.
There are two upper rooms.
After looking at the room, the two returned to the courtyard.
At this time, a thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was looking at Fu Baochuan, who was short in stature and unattractive in appearance, nodding and bowing.
Seeing Hou Dongsheng and Zheng Bing returned to the small courtyard.
Fu Baochuan quickly stood up to greet the two of them and introduced: "Two fellow Taoists, this guy's name is Monkey. He is a treasure appraiser here. He can often pick up good products on the street stalls. The casual cultivators around him are also very familiar with him."
Please let him go shopping with you in the next three days."
The monkey quickly saluted with clasped fists.
Fu Baochuan worriedly told the monkey: "These two are the chief helmsman's guests, so don't neglect them!"
Monkey: "The little one knows, the little one knows."
Fu Baochuan: "Two distinguished guests, please rest here for three days. I will return from Flint Island in three days. At that time, the husband will arrange your place."
Hou Dongsheng: "Thank you very much!"
