By the time Zhang Zhixuan and Han Yan arrived at the battlefield, the fourth-level treasure ship had already fled far away. Seeing that both of them were safe and sound, Qing Chan returned to Dafang Island to take care of them with peace of mind.
Seeing that Qingchan had defeated his opponent, Zhang Zhixuan and Han Yan simply returned to the deserted island.
Seeing Zhang Zhixuan and the others coming back, Yu Youzhen asked: "How is Uncle Zhang doing there? Is the master injured?"
"Everything is fine with Qingchan. They have repelled the opponent's treasure ship and have returned to Dafang Island to take charge."
After hearing the good news, Yu Youzhen's face suddenly beamed with joy and she said, "Master, everything is fine, I'm completely relieved."
When Zhang Zhixuan and Han Yan came back, the monks on the treasure ship had already rescued most of the mortals who had fallen into the water. Except for Yu Youzhen, the monks in the foundation period were settling the mortals and taking care of the island, and the remaining dozen people were salvaging the sunken ship. Although Jia Mengzhen and others
No one went into the water, but they were busy during this period.
After a few days of busy work, settling all the people on the treasure ship on the island, and after all the work of salvaging the sunken ship was completed, Zhang Zhixuan said: "Meng Zhen, go out and do some statistics and see how many people have settled on the island.
How many monks are there? These people will eventually be used by us in the future, and we cannot ignore them and let people starve to death in vain."
Jia Mengzhen has led Dafang Island for many years, and his character has always been impeccable. In recent days, when people on the island have begun to settle down, he has made a clear statistics on the situation on the island, and replied confidently: "Master, I know this well.
There are more than 12,000 mortals, not counting the five foundations, and a total of more than 120 Qi-training innate monks.
The food stored on the treasure ship can last for three months. Even if we organize farming now, we will still need to provide food for one or two months."
"Is there enough food on our island?" Zhang Zhixuan asked.
Jia Mengzhen smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid it's not enough. Dafang Island's food is not self-sufficient. There is a slight gap. The island's monks need to hunt sea beasts offshore, and there is no way to support this place."
"What are you going to do?"
Jia Mengzhen said: "For the time being, we can only let the foundation-building monks hunt nearby sea beasts to replenish their supplies for a period of time. However, the area of this island is only one-eighth of Dafang Island. Even if the island is relatively flat and can cultivate a lot of fertile land, it will not
It cannot support too many people, and its development potential is far inferior to that of Dafang Island."
Jia Mengzhen paused for a moment and continued: "If you want to have a long-term plan on the island, you also need to cultivate spiritual veins, at least a third-level spiritual vein."
Zhang Zhixuan nodded and said: "I have already considered this. I have sent Qiwen back to find Qingchan to get the spirit gathering array. As soon as the spirit gathering array comes, the spiritual veins will be there soon."
Just when Jia Meng was about to leave, a sudden flash of inspiration came to his mind: "Master, since we are going to take root on this island for a long time, we must give this island a name!"
Zhang Zhixuan pondered for a moment, then laughed and said: "This island is shaped like a crescent moon, so it is called Crescent Island. The treasure ship we captured is also called Victory."
Zhang Zhixuan and Han Yan stayed on the island for half a month. When everything was on track and Crescent Island had stabilized, they returned to Dafang Island with the Victory.
Except for Li Yulin and Yuan Ruoyun, the five foundation builders on the Victory were left to garrison on Crescent Island. They were responsible for protecting the island and hunting nearby sea beasts to replenish food for the mortals.
In order to monitor the three of them, Jia Mengzhen and He Zhongxing temporarily stayed on Crescent Island. Within half a month, Zhang Zhixuan used the captured spiritual stones to cultivate a third-level low-grade spiritual vein on Crescent Island.
Although the third-level low-grade spiritual veins are crowded with five foundation-building stage monks, which is a bit overwhelmed, Sheng Tianlu and the others are still prisoners after all. The spiritual veins mainly supply the cultivation of Jia Mengzhen and the two. As for the three foundation-building stage prisoners, as long as some spiritual energy can be maintained
Just cultivate yourself and that’s it.
The thirty monks in the Qi training period who were operating the treasure ship were also brought back to Dafang Island by Zhang Zhixuan to serve as teachers, training some sailors to operate the treasure ship for Dafang Island.
Yu Wancheng, Lu Haoling, and Yu Youzhen were sent to the treasure ship by Zhang Zhixuan, intending to let the three of them slowly learn to operate the treasure ship, and also to monitor Li Yuan's foundation building.
After returning to Dafang Island, Zhang Zhixuan and Han Yan immediately returned to the underground cave to review the gains and losses of this battle.
Although they won this battle and learned from Li Yulin and others why they were being tracked, there were many details that they still didn't know.
"In this battle, three treasure ships were sunk, ten foundation-building monks were killed, one hundred and eighty-nine Qi-training monks were killed, and seventy-four thousand spiritual stones were seized. I consumed two fourth-level spiritual talismans, and Han Yan consumed
Four magic weapons, two pieces, and a fourth-level spiritual talisman, the loss was no less than 45,000. In addition, cultivating the spiritual veins cost 10,000 spiritual stones, and the actual spiritual stones in our hands were only 20,000. However, we captured a ship with three
The value of a top-grade treasure ship is around 120,000 spirit stones, plus the more than 20,000 spirit stones in the spirit stone warehouse on the treasure ship, you can get the benefit of at least 150,000 spirit stones."
After listening to Zhang Zhixuan's introduction, Qing Chan nodded and said: "These are all recorded in the sect's good deeds. Although we are in charge here now and there is no problem if public and private are not separated, in order to form a good system in the future, public and private should still be distinguished."
Zhang Zhixuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not confused yet. Including the investment in buying the elixir this time, I have recorded the good deeds. However, according to the current situation of Dafang Island, we will still be unable to make ends meet in the short term. I'm afraid we will continue to invest for a while.
.”
Qingchan shook his head and said with a serious face: "Winning this battle is a good sign, but there are lessons learned this time. In the future, you must be more cautious when going to Xuanyang Island to trade, and use invisibility when you come out.
symbol.
Brother Zhixuan, if you use the fourth-level invisibility charm when you come out of the island, your whereabouts will definitely not be exposed. From what happened this time, we should know that there are more battles in Qingli Sea than in Nanya State, especially in this sea area
, it is even more chaotic. If you are careless, you may not be able to defeat your opponent next time.
If the treasure ship attacks you on the way, Brother Zhixuan, you will hardly be spared. If you have an accident, what should I do in the future?"
Qing Chan's words left Zhang Zhixuan speechless and he could only admit his mistake sincerely. He thought to himself: "A fourth-level invisibility talisman is worth four thousand spiritual stones. It is only used in the entrance and exit market. The transaction cost is too high."
Already.
It seems that we can’t go to Xuanyang Island too frequently in the future, and every time we go, we must use it at critical moments.”
After returning to Dafang Island, Zhang Zhixuan planted some auxiliary elixir seeds collected on the island. Maybe these seeds are not used now, but in tens or hundreds of years, these elixirs will mature and can also bring Dafang Island.
