Yang Jiabiao, a rebellious boy, repeatedly encouraged Ding Yi to annex other pirates. The pirates on this side of the mirage were of varying strengths, and the leader was a guy named Jin Taisui.

That guy is just a spiritual-level monk. He has seven or eight low-level cultivators working for him. He occupies a large island, Changya Island, with more than 5,000 pirates and a population of nearly 300,000.

.

Ding Yi didn't even pay attention to Jin Taisui, so how could he attack Liu Mazi? He rejected Yang Jiabiao's suggestion. However, he couldn't cool the hearts of these guys. He would have to give Yang Jiabiao, Zhang Bao and others some delusional soup.

.

"Lao Zhang, A Biao, I understand what you are thinking. If you have the strength, why don't you take over a bigger place? Raise the flag and gather a group of heroes. Even if you can't build a country, you can still be a hero, right?

"

Yang Jiabiao and Zhang Bao looked at Ding Yi blankly, listening to Ding Yi continue to talk.

"This so-called strength can be divided into several categories, such as force, popularity, financial resources, and reputation... blindly attacking and plundering territory, expanding the territory, and at the same time preventing oneself from being targeted and becoming the target of attack. In the process, there are also

You can't make too many enemies, lest other pirates and countries become jealous and join forces to deal with it..."

"This method is time-consuming and will inevitably cause accidental harm. For example, this time, we robbed Nanli's ship. If we don't take this matter seriously, we might start a war with other pirates.

When the time comes, Nanli will not stab us in the back."

Yang Jiabiao said: "Master Wu, what should we do?"

Ding Yi smiled and said: "I already have a general direction in my mind. Let's go back to Pig Pen Island first. Don't worry, the meat is in the pot and can't escape. Everyone follow me and just enjoy the food."

On the way back to Pig Pen Island, Ding Yi learned in detail about the situation on the Mirage side, representatives of each country, geographical conditions, national strength and various products.

In fact, the Mirage Kingdoms are, to put it bluntly, a country established by some cultivating families and their retainers. This is a chaotic place, where cultivators control everything and do whatever they want. Basically, it is a family situation.

Cultivators formed settlements through marriage, apprenticeships, or other means, and joined forces with or attacked each other to form a relatively stable structure with calmness amidst chaos.

The more Ding Yi knows about this place, the more at ease he feels. This chaotic place is really convenient for him to lurk.

Yan Jingfeng and Shi Kai were motivated by profit at first. They felt that Ding Yi was capable, rich and had a good mind. They followed him and the meeting gift was a gem worth fifty thousand gold yuan. It was worse than working at the Nanli Coast Guard.

Much stronger, but with the contact with Ding Yi in the past few days, the two of them have completely changed their attitudes.

The Shenwu Empire has a cultivation academy that can systematically train awakened people in cultivation. As long as you have sufficient qualifications, all the training facilities are open. There is generally no core secret skill between the cultivation academy and each sect. As long as you are of sufficient level, everything can be done.

You can come to communicate and learn. People with good connections don't even care about your level. Like Ding Yi, he often goes to some cultivation sects in the Shenwu Empire. Their Scripture Pavilion is basically undefended against Ding Yi.

Mirage is a poor place, but it is different. Each empire regards their cultivation secrets as extremely valuable. Let alone communication, even a few words of exercises that are not from their system will not be leaked.

Yan Jingfeng and Shi Kai were originally a little regretful, thinking that after following Ding Yi, they might lose the opportunity to continue studying the cultivation classics of Nanli Kingdom. Who knows, Ding Yi just had a casual chat with them. , pointed out many problems in their practice.

This Ding Yi is also very strange. He claims to have the qualifications of a poison spirit, but he can condense water balls and fire balls effortlessly. When he is pointing the stone to open it, he even shows off his alchemy skills.

He casually gave each of them a book of Cultivation Secrets and didn't care at all, just like a family with children. The elders gave the children pocket money and didn't care at all. And the Cultivation Secrets they got were better than what they had worked so hard for in Nanli Country. In exchange for fifteen days of study time a year, the cultivation classics that can be accessed will be many times better.

Ding Yi's guidance to the two of them was also very good. Within a few days of being together with Ding Yi, the two of them felt that there had been significant progress in both magic and spiritual power.

Now even if someone drives them away with a stick, they will not leave.

Sailing on the sea was actually quite boring, so Ding Yi simply used this time to teach Yan Jingfeng and Shi Kai how to practice. At the same time, he also gathered the pirates together and taught them some natural sect breathing and breathing techniques, as well as physical training techniques.

Ding Yi's selfless behavior can be said to be unique in the mirage. Originally, these pirates swallowed Ding Yi's "obedient water", and they only feared Ding Yi. Now they all have some respect for Ding Yi. Respect.

The pirates were all illiterate, which was detrimental to Ding Yi's future development. Ding Yi organized these pirates again and began to learn cultural knowledge. This was a rigid rule and could not be discounted. Yan Jingfeng and Shi Kai were watching eagerly to supervise. Who would If you don't learn well, the punishment for cultivators is very severe.

Learning ten words a day is not very difficult. Yang Jiabiao didn't want to learn it at first, but the pie drawn by Ding Yi was too tempting, and he really couldn't resist the temptation. Ding Yi said that he would be asked to manage a group of more than ten people in the future. Thousands of cities, for this

Yang Jiabiao also worked hard to achieve the ambitious goal.

Ding Yi is a puppet master. He used to be just a technical nerd. He was only obsessed with inventions and creations. He was only interested in things like the origin of the universe and the principles of cultivation. This time he was forced to go overseas by Daoyuan, and his thoughts have changed a lot now. change.

In fact, he has already undergone transformation. For example, he did not hesitate to kill the sailors hiding behind the sails who were preparing to attack him, used deception to make the pirates obey his orders, used treasures and cultivation secrets to win over Yan Jingfeng, Shi Kai...

Everything Ding Yi does is actually nothing more than a kind of control, and the core of puppetry is control! However, in the past, Ding Yi dealt with those cold steel and various building materials, but now the objects have become people.

Without the supervision and restraint of the Truth Society and Zongxiao, Ding Yi naturally had a lot less scruples when doing things.

Eight days later, the two ships returned to Pig Pent Island.

Pig Pen Island is not big, with a radius of only three to four hundred miles. This is Zhang Bao's old nest. There are forty or fifty people living on the island, most of them are Zhang Bao's family members, and there are also a few robbed women.

The flags on Pig Pen Island were changed, and the people on Pig Pen Island were still a little panicked. However, facing the powerful cultivators, they had no other choice but to express their submission and surrender.

There are dozens of acres of cultivated fields on the island, and Ding Yi knows from looking at those crops that the harvest on the island is not very good.

Pig Pent Island is surrounded by dangerous reefs and whirlpools. Without someone who is familiar with the local hydrology and ocean currents to lead the way, it is generally impossible to enter. This is a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, Pig Pent Island is not a small island with rich products.

, it has not been annexed by big pirates, mostly because other people don't like this ghost place.

When Ding Yi took over this place, it naturally couldn't be like before. In the past, Zhang Bao's pirate group lived a collective life. Under Zhang Bao's iron fist, the pirates lived a miserable life.

The commerce here in Mirage is underdeveloped. People in most island countries rely on fishing and relatively primitive and backward agriculture to make a living. Moreover, there are no open-pit mines on most islands, and almost all island countries have nothing decent.

industry.

Pig Pent Island is surrounded by the sea. The closest country to Pig Pent Island is Fulong Country. Strictly speaking, Pig Pent Island is actually within the waters of Fulong Country.

There is a hill running from east to west on Pig Pent Island. Ding Yi inspected it carefully. The hill was mainly composed of granite and quartz stone, which was completely worthless. There were some slopes and beaches in the north and south. The fields of Pig Pent Island were mainly composed of

On the slope to the south, the cabins where the pirates lived were mainly concentrated here. To the north is the desolate salt-alkali land, overgrown with weeds.

Ding Yi didn't have any expectations for this Pig Pen Island. Everything in front of him didn't matter to him.

But now that he has taken over Pig Pen Island, he cannot be like before.

Ding Yi adopts vertical management, replacing the previous flat management of Zhang Bao. The affairs of the entire island are divided into fragments and handed over to the person recommended by everyone. That person only needs to be responsible to Ding Yi.

Now that the people's livelihood on the island is in decline and there is little money and food, Ding Yi still allows these people to live in a collective life for the time being. Under the management of less than 200 people, with Ding Yi having absolute force, the people on the island can only obey obediently. Besides, Ding Yi

There are no unreasonable rules, only a very small number of people have lost some benefits.

After basically finalizing the affairs on the island, Ding Yi took Yan Jingfeng, Shi Kai, Zhang Bao and other backbones to cut down many trees on the island. Ding Yi mainly did the work of cutting down trees. Everyone just followed Ding Yi's request.

, just transporting the trees back to the camp.

Ding Yi released the flying cat puppet, which was almost indestructible under the sharp claws of Austrian titanium steel, and easily cut down hundreds of large trees.

Through this time, Yan Jingfeng and Shi Kai discovered two more aptitudes of Ding Yi, the aptitude of the wood spirit and the aptitude of the earth spirit. In the forest, Yan Jingfeng saw that Ding Yi was entering an uninhabited land.

When they arrived, they all moved away automatically to form a passage. This was clearly the use of the wood spirit's qualifications.

When they arrived at the camp, Ding Yi put his hands on the ground and shouted loudly. The slope made of sand and gravel immediately cracked, revealing a ravine more than half a meter deep...

In fact, these are just very simple spells. The key is that the requirements for spiritual qualifications are not high. Ding Yi can only transfer flowers and trees, build a house and lay a foundation. However, in the eyes of Yan Jingfeng and Shi Kai,

Naturally different. The two of them were more in awe of Ding Yi.

This pig cage island only has this advantage. At least there are many trees. However, these wood are ordinary wood, which can only be used to build houses. If it is used to make sea ships, it is not good. Except for some of these trees,

Used to build houses, other timber Ding Yi is going to build a dock.

Since he wants to start a career here and may stay here for a long time, Ding Yi must of course build a decent house for himself.

Ding Yi has finished arranging the affairs on the island, and Ding Yi is no longer prepared to stay on the island.

He left a blueprint for building a dock, explained it clearly to Shi Kai, and then taught Shi Kai how to use universal puppets.

There was no way, because most of these pirates were just fighting men and there were no craftsmen among them. Shi Kai and Yang Jiabiao were left on the island, while he took Yan Jingfeng, Zhang Bao and Su Chen (the clerk from the Coast Guard) and sat down.

Leave Pig Pent Island on the Vespa and head to Fulong Country.

Shi Kai and Yang Jiabiao

They all want to follow him, but Shi Kai is now responsible for building the dock. Secondly, this guy's eyebrows haven't grown yet, so he will inevitably attract attention when he goes out. Ding Yi is in hibernation now, even if he hasn't heard of Shenwu yet.

When people from the empire appeared in this sea area, Ding Yi kept a very low profile. As for Yang Jiabiao, Ding Yi stipulated that he was not allowed to leave the island until he had learned five hundred Chinese characters.

As a puppet master, it is unreasonable to not even have a piece of cast iron on hand. Making a puppet requires too many cultivation materials, such as spiritual stones. In addition to some precious gems, Ding Yi only has some collections of cultivation books on hand. He doesn't even have one on hand.

He didn't even have any gold coins, and Yan Jingfeng only had twenty or thirty gold coins on hand.

To get along well in this sea area, you must at least have money. Simply doing piracy and plundering is actually not an easy task in this sea area. When Zhang Bao and the others went out this time, they almost

Didn't encounter any ships.

Ding Yi was not prepared to sell off his gems. After learning about the cultivation situation in Mirage and the extremely precious cultivation secrets and techniques, Ding Yi thought of a way. Selling books, to be precise, selling cultivation secrets.

Of course Ding Yi will not sell his collection. What he wants to sell are the cultivation books he has read. Most cultivators have excellent memories, and photographic memory is very common. Ding Yi has not read a thousand cultivation secret books in the past two years.

, there are at least 800 books. He has the qualifications to break the spirit, and he is not afraid of meat and vegetables. Even the Onmyoji and Fangzhongju Ding Yi has read several versions.

Zhang Bao is from the Fulong Kingdom. If he had done well in the Fulong Kingdom, he would not have gone to the inhospitable Pig Cage Island to become a pirate. Zhang Bao was originally just a farmer in the Fulong Kingdom.

There were several acres of thin farmland, but because of their land, a cultivator took a fancy to it and wanted to turn it into a hunting ground. Zhang Bao lost his job, and finally had to escape to the sea and become a pirate.

Fulong Kingdom is not large, covering an area of ​​more than 200,000 square kilometers. It has a population of over 10 million, and there are more than 30 cultivators in the country. Except for a dozen monks from the royal family of Fulong Kingdom, all the others are

Loose practice.

Zhang Bao is just a mortal and is not familiar with these upper-class people. He is only familiar with slave traders, businessmen who smuggle and purchase stolen goods. However, he is very familiar with the brothels and brothels of Fulong Kingdom.

Zhang Baoshu drove the Vespa to a fishing village where Zhang Bao had an informant. The information about Fulong was mainly collected by Cai Ge and his wife, the only innkeepers in this fishing village. At the same time, Cai Ge and his wife also helped.

Zhang Bao contacted the buyer and transferred the stolen goods.

Ding Yi and the others came to Fulong Country this time as a sneak smuggler. Of course, they can follow the normal procedure, but Ding Yi and Yan Jingfeng are both cultivators, which will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Brother Cai and his wife saw that they were the kind of all-around good characters. When they learned that Zhang Bao had now joined these two cultivators, they were also very fawning over Ding Yi and Yan Jingfeng.
