Xu Dao's eyes showed deep thought, and he immediately began to think about it.
The little shark girl stood in the black boat, her face slightly red, and she whispered: "My mother and I were in the store today, and we acted rudely to the Taoist priest. I hope the Taoist priest will forgive me."
"I am dissatisfied with the Taoist priest. It is precisely because of the emergence of new islands that my mother is so eager to form an alliance with the Taoist priest."
The words continued to come out of her mouth, giving Xu Dao a clearer understanding of the matter.
He touched his cheek and muttered in his mind: "So that's it. I thought it was my own charm that actually attracted the attention of this mother and daughter."
However, he glanced at the blushing look on the girl's face and vaguely discerned the other person's thoughts at this moment, and he felt confident again.
The shark girl lowered her head and crossed her fingers. She suddenly took out a bead chain from her neck and held it in both hands: "The Taoist priest has just come to the Shark Island. My little sister has not given him a gift yet. This bead chain has seven beads."
The spiritual pearls are the ones that were collected just now under the moonlight."
"Although it is not as good as other sisters, let alone mother's condensation, it can also increase your cultivation and help the Taoist Master recover his magic power. I hope the Taoist Master will not dislike it and accept it directly."
She spoke fluently, her breath was a little short, and she almost bit her tongue.
Xu Dao looked at Xiao Shark Girl's appearance and suddenly burst into laughter.
According to the memories of Taoist disciple Lai and the records in various books, although the shark girls are beautiful, they are in an environment like the Shark Island and their nature is such that they are born prostitutes or even bitches. It is rare to be so innocent.
goods.
There was amusement in his eyes: "I wonder if this guy is really so naive, or if his acting skills are so superb that he can even fool me."
But no matter what, Xu Dao would not take her to his side. After all, the bloody appearance of this woman fishing for pearls under the moon just now left a deep impact on him.
As a joke, Xu Dao slapped his head and said, "Thank you so much, my Taoist friend, so I would be disrespectful to you."
The shark girl was shy: "Taoist priest, you're welcome."
Xu Daofu asked: "I wonder if you have a good name?"
Seeing Xu Dao asking for his name, the little shark girl quickly spit out: "Taoist Master, just call me Si Mei. My mother's surname is Yin, and my little sister will take her mother's surname."
"Yin Simei." Xu Dao chewed and said with a smile: "Are there one, two, and three eyebrows above the four eyebrows?"
Yin Simei was a little embarrassed: "Yes, but the eldest sister, the second sister, and the third sister have three other characters for 'eyebrow' in their names."
Xu Dao chuckled in his heart: "The name chosen by fellow Taoist Yin is really random."
He casually asked the other party's mother's name, and her expression was even more strange. It turned out that the shark girl who built the foundation of Ningsha was named "Yin Dang" and she had a powerful silver bell magic weapon in her hand.
Suppressing his thoughts, Xu Dao continued to talk to Xiaoxiao Nu, and made sure that he would consider it carefully, and whether he answered or not, he would give an accurate answer within three days.
Yin Simei leaned forward and said, "Then I won't disturb Taoist Master's rest. Simei is on duty nearby these days. If you need anything on Taoist Master's boat, you can go to Simei instead of those rough guys."
After bowing, she raised her head delicately and glanced at Xu Dao several times, secretly delighted in her heart: "Daoist Xu is really different from other Taoist priests who build foundations. He is so easy to talk to and so polite."
If Xu Dao hadn't shown his intention to see off the guests, she would have really wanted to live on the ship.
Although Yin Simi was reluctant to give up, she still jumped into the sea water, "turning back three times in one step", her head rising on the sea surface from time to time until she disappeared from Xu Dao's sight.
On the black ship.
Xu Dao played with the seven spiritual beads left by the other party, feeling the spiritual power in them, and found that the Shark Girl's tear beads were roughly the same as those in the blood money, but after Shark Girl's rubbing and swallowing, the texture was indeed better than the blood money.
It is more refined and has the aura of moonlight.
One pill of this spirit bead should be equivalent to about ten blood coins, and seven pills would be equivalent to seventy talisman coins.
Although the resources in Xihai are "richer" than those in Wu State, the average monthly salary of Taoist disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining is only one hundred yuan.
Seventy dollars is already a small amount for Yin Simei. Even if the other party collects pearls by himself, there is only one chance to collect pearls every month. If the pearls collected each month are not enough, he has to pay them out of his own pocket.
I have read a lot of books and have a good understanding of the prices in Xihai.
If he joins Sharman Island, depending on his level in the middle stage of foundation building, his monthly salary can reach about 1,500 yen. In addition, in the early stage of foundation building, it is usually 500 yen, and in the later stage of foundation building, it is 3,000 yen.
Of course, the specific salary will be discussed based on the actual situation, and this salary is just a normal support. If there are other big errands, such as Sharman Island inviting Xu Dao to open up wasteland and fight for the island, the profit will need to be distributed to Xu Dao.
Especially for the realm of foundation building, the Taoist priest class is already the ruling class in the West Sea. As long as there is no big boss at the Jindan level to suppress it, it is usually attracted by the major forces and has to provide real benefits.
Xu Dao thought about it and couldn't help but frown deeply. It is said that behind every piece of blood money, there is a life.
The monthly salary of a Foundation-Building Taoist priest is calculated in thousands of dollars, and it is rumored that the monthly salary of a Jindan Taoist priest is even ten thousand dollars. With such a monthly salary, there are really piles of corpses and seas of blood.
After sighing a few times, Xu Dao did not have the thought of rejecting the Shark Island. Instead, he felt certain in his heart and became clearer.
Just as he thought in Xiao Huangtian, no matter whether he spent blood money or not, the number of blood money in the entire West Sea would not be reduced by half.
Refining blood money is not a business. Even if there is no transaction, there will be killings. As long as there is one more blood money in the world, the Taoists of Xihai will spare no effort to squeeze it, even including squeezing themselves.
Blood money is the only standard of passage in the Western Sea, besides mana.
And unlike Wu Guozhong, Xihai not only has a larger territory and more Taoists, but also surpasses the isolated Wu State in various methods. In particular, the development of a certain skill allows those with abundant blood and money to easily cross levels, and even
Confront the enemy across borders.
This is difficult to achieve in Wu Guozhong.
Xu Dao thought about it, squinted his eyes and suppressed these distracting thoughts, and once again focused on the current problem he was facing.
He thought about it again and again, and finally made a decision: "Although there is a lot of content in the book, if you want to truly understand the entire West China Sea, you must join it. Currently, the Sharn Island is short of manpower. There is a large flow of people on the island, and there are many rumors about the exchanges.
It’s a good choice for me to integrate into Xihai.”
In addition, Xu Dao glanced at those weird boatmen and the cooks who had not been released in the cabin so far.
Not only did he decide to join the Merman Island as a guest, he was also prepared to take on the task of pioneering. If possible, Xu Dao planned to obtain a small island or a territory on a new island to accommodate the mortals on the ship.
Otherwise, these mortals on the ship would either turn into red blood money or become a burden to him.
Xu Dao did not want to choose between the two. He planned to occupy a territory first and practice cultivation while integrating into the West Sea.
As for what happened next, we'll talk about it later. Anyway, he doesn't need to go around "seeking immortals and visiting Taoism" now, nor can he directly pick up the flag and revive Huang Tian.
"Take your time, take your time."
After making the decision and planning, Xu Dao instantly felt relaxed. His face returned to the comfortable look it had before. He stretched out and walked toward the cabin.
Although he has already read through the dozens of newly acquired books on the West Sea, there are still many worth reading in detail. In particular, several of them are related to magic and realm, which are worth pondering over.
As for the response to Sharman Island, this matter cannot be rushed. It is best to delay it for two or three days to prevent the other party from bargaining on the treatment later.
The next three days.
Xu Dao has been reading books in his room without ever leaving the house.
During the three days, Xiao Jiannu came here many times, but was always rejected. However, this did not dampen her thoughts, but instead made her anxious, "Is it possible that the Taoist Master plans to leave in three days?"
Although she was anxious in her heart, Xu Dao was a foundation-building Taoist priest and was still in the same middle-level realm as her mother. Yin Simei never dared to offend her. She only dared to ask questions about arranging food and drinking water, and tried her best to show her eagerness.
This made Wu Bicheng and Liang Xia a little confused at first. It was not until later that they realized: "This alien wants to get into the Taoist priest's bed!"
When they met, Wu Bixi almost started to curse, but Liang Xia had already found out where Xiao Xiaonu was from and stopped her in time.
When the little shark girl left, Liang Xia comforted Wu Biqi: "This girl is a guest of the Taoist priest after all, and her mother is a Taoist priest Ningsha! Besides, if there is no such beast, there will be no food and fresh water supplies for the mortals on the ship.
You and I are troubled."
Even so, Wu Bixi's face was still indignant. She gritted her teeth and said: "A rotten bitch from a charming island who is not even a human being deserves to be friends with a Taoist priest?"
Hearing this, Liang Xia was silent. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly took out a pill of spirit beads from his sleeve and said with a smile: "I won't talk about this anymore. This bead was given to you and me by the shark girl. I
After asking about it, I found out that this thing has the effect of breaking through the realm. You and I are about to break through to the late stage of Qi refining, so it is just right to use it to speed up the speed."
Wu Bixi saw hesitation on her face when she saw the spirit bead, and she said: "It's just one pill. Brother Liang, your path has been completed, but little sister is still a year and a half away. Since this thing can help you break through the realm, you
Only one person can use it."
The two refused for a long time, but the bead finally returned to Liang Xia's hands. He held the bead and handed it over to Wu Bixi.
Seeing Liang Xia accept it, Wu Bixi thought for a few times and whispered: "If one pill of beads is not enough, I can ask the Taoist priest again. Even if the Taoist priest is angry, he probably won't be on the same level as me."
After listening to the other party's words, Liang Xia cupped his hands and fell silent. After he paused for several breaths, he raised his face and shook his head with a chuckle.
Wu Biqi looked at the other party, her brows furrowed at first, then relaxed, she pinched her hair and said with a smile, "Brother Liang, you have to work harder."
Liang Xia just replied: "Yes."
The two communicated in low voices for a long time, then one of them sat cross-legged on the deck, while the other protected the surroundings.
Liang Xia held the spirit bead in her hand, her face calm and calm, without a hint of gloom. Wu Bicheng, on the other hand, was a dedicated caregiver, looking at him from time to time with a prayer on his face.
Silks of spiritual light entered between Liang Xia's nose, and mana steamed up from the top of his head, illuminating two and a half feet. Its light was eager to try, and it looked like it was about to break through the limit at any time.
In the uppermost cabin of the black ship.
Xu Dao held the book, and his eyes suddenly withdrew from the lines. He pondered for a few times, and finally shook his head slightly, then continued to lower his head, trying to figure out the contents of the book.
finally.
On the third day, the little shark girl came again. She found that the situation on the black ship had changed, and she couldn't adapt to it.
The male Taoist disciple who was only in the middle stage of Qi refining yesterday has actually broken through and entered the late stage of Qi refining, but his breath is still unstable. And there are a group of heads squatting in darkness on the deck. They should be the rookies on the ship who were released.
came out.
As soon as they met, Liang Xia said to the little shark girl: "Taoist Master is not going to sell these vegetables, but intends to keep them as human species for propagation and use. I also ask fellow Taoist Yin to take more care of them, so as not to be stared at by blind people."
The shark girl Yin Simimei nodded in confusion, and then she reacted with surprise and said, "Do you think Taoist Master Xu is going to stay on the island?"
"That's exactly what the Taoist meant." Liang Xia held up his hand, "If possible, please go back and report to fellow Taoist Yin now. The Taoist will go over today to discuss it in detail."
In surprise, Yin Simei hurriedly took out a small silver bell from her bun. She shook it and the bell made a jingling sound: "No, no, I can tell mother now."
"Shan." Liang Xia held up his hand and said, "I'll go back and report to the Taoist Master."
As a result, before he could take a step, a burst of laughter came from the sea, and he saw a tall and plump mature shark girl, sweeping through the sea water and flying directly to the ship.
"What a coincidence, I happen to be looking for fellow Taoist Xu."
This shark girl is Yin Simei's mother, Yin Dang. In fact, she has been wandering around the black ship from time to time in the past few days, trying to find out more about Xu Dao's origin and details.
For example, this mature shark girl recognized at a glance that the black boat at Xu Dao's feet did not belong to him, but was obtained by robbing his family.
A squeaking sound!
The Foundation-Building Shark Girl arrived, and Xu Dao, who had been shut up at home, finally walked out of the cabin, stood on the top, and raised his hand toward her from afar, "I've met my fellow Taoist."
The two chatted for a while, then went directly into Xu Dao's room and talked in detail.
After spending some time, the two of them first finalized the treatment during their stay as guests. Xu Dao also made a promise, promising not to leave the island within three years, and used this to propose the matter of private territory.
After Yin Dangxiao thought about it for a while, she agreed, but Xu Dao had to meet the island owner in person for the specific method.
But after Xu Daoying came down, Yin Dangxiaonv no longer kept any details about the development of the island, and directly told Xu Dao the inside story.
It turns out that the island that Merman Island is planning to develop and compete for fell from the sky, and there are even rumors on the sea that there may be spiritual veins on it!
This immediately made Xu Dao's eyelids twitch slightly.
Isn't this kind of island formed from the fragments of the Wu Kingdom after it was shattered? I just don't know whether it is bigger or smaller, and which piece it is.
