The attack on Fenghuo Island quickly spread to the surrounding forces, and the monks operating the treasure ships from the eight alliances began to turn around and return, preparing to focus on cruising in the waters near Fenghuo Island for a period of time.
After Lin Zhongjun got the news, he flew directly to Fenghuo Island. The three thousand miles journey only took half a day, and he arrived as quickly as possible.
But when he arrived, it was already dawn, and Fenghuodao Fangshi was still open for business. Even the blood stains on the streets would have been washed away, if it weren't for a few casual repairmen hanging next to the gate of Fangshi.
The target was dead, and everyone thought that the turmoil last night was an illusion.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, are you okay? I heard that Fenghuo Island was attacked."
"Yes, three groups of loose cultivators formed a partnership and wanted to seize Fenghuo Island, but we put it down. The matter has been resolved."
"Uh, so fast"
"It's a bunch of rabble, isn't it very simple to deal with them?"
“It seems to make sense, but I feel like something is wrong.”
Lin Zhongjun replied, that's what he said, but if the three groups of casual cultivators dare to take action, there must be Daogang monks among them. At least the power on the surface must make those casual cultivators feel that they have an advantage, otherwise they would not dare to take action.
.
But with just such a sentence to dismiss the mob, when did the rogue cultivators become so easy to deal with? Aren't Luo Xinghai's rogue cultivators known for their toughness and unruly nature?
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you came just in time. I have one more thing I want to ask you."
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Xiao, please tell me."
"I captured more than a hundred prisoners last night. What should I do with these prisoners? Kill them. It feels like a pity, but letting them go is not appropriate."
Lin Xiao replied, this prisoner really doesn't know what to do. Killing him is easy, but it's not necessary. Fenghuo Island has already shown enough power to scare those casual cultivators. If he kills him again, it will be detrimental to his reputation.
Some people think that the people on Fenghuo Island are too cruel, and if they really want to be released, that would be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
"That's it. It's simple. Just squeeze them out. Although they are casual cultivators, they definitely have a place to stay. They may also have mortal relatives and finances. If you force them to speak out, you can make a fortune in the pot.
A small fortune.
Mortals who had no relationship moved to Fenghuo Island, and the immediate family members of casual cultivators were directly reduced to slaves. Fenghuo Island could use them if they wanted, but if not, just sell them. Many islands have minerals, which are needed for mining.
They are young and dangerous, so although slaves are not supported by the alliance, they are very popular in private. You can't let your people do such dangerous things.
The same goes for these monk prisoners. If Fenghuo Island needs them, use them. If not, sell them as slaves. However, the buyers of the monks must be clear. They have to find those who are extremely vicious and let these people do hard labor until they die. Even before selling them, they can
Destroy their Dantian.
Otherwise, some forces buy monk slaves to enrich their own strength, and maybe they will be given their freedom in a few years, which is like letting the tiger go back to the mountain."
"Is this what the Luo Xinghai Islands do?"
"Absolutely. No one does this on the surface, but they do it in private. There are even gangs of casual cultivators who capture monks on the sea and sell them as slaves."
"Okay, then let's do this. If the Lin family wants to get some slaves, I'll give you the land price."
"Haha, then I'm not polite. I want thirty people, but you can't give me a high price."
"Of course that's no problem. Fellow Daoist Lin rests for half a day, and then he can be taken away."
Lin Xiao nodded. Since he had done this, he no longer felt guilty. If he was more ruthless, it would not be impossible to kill them all.
Not long after, Bai Zihua came to report what happened last night.
"Master, after counting, in the battle last night, seven of our disciples were killed, sixteen were injured, five innocent cultivators were implicated, and one hundred and ninety-six enemies were killed, including two Taoists.
Gang, twelve Zifus, and the rest were monks condensing and opening the meridians, captured one hundred and fifty-four people, and none of the enemies escaped.
The property we damaged and consumed last night was equivalent to about 200,000 Xuanjing, and the property gained was more than 600,000 Xuanjing alone, including various magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, storage bags, and various spiritual objects.
The total value of the materials was about one million, and we won a great victory."
"Yes, are the rewards and pensions ready?"
"Get ready. The rewards are divided into merit points and physical rewards. The pensions are based on the sect's rules. If there are relatives, it will be given to relatives, if there are no relatives, it will be given to brothers. The sect has records."
Bai Zihua nodded. The disciples of the sect will sign a will after leaving the disciple academy. If they die fighting for the sect, then the things they leave behind can be designated to someone. Generally speaking, it will be given to their parents and children. If they are alone,
Yes, it can be assigned to senior fellow apprentices or the like.
Moreover, this will can be modified. As long as the sect confirms that the disciple is not forced, it can be modified. Each modification only requires ten Xuan Crystals, so the pension becomes simple and there will be no nonsense.
.
"Very good, have you found out the origins of these casual cultivators?"
"After asking, these casual cultivators come from three groups of casual cultivators, which is similar to what Ye Xiao found. They are active on the sea all year round, mainly hunting monsters and beasts, and occasionally rob passing monks.
After years of development, they have become quite powerful, and they all urgently need an island to establish themselves. As soon as the ten-year protection period after this beast tide has passed, they took action. Before, three groups of loose cultivators worked together to conquer an island.
But that island is only over a hundred miles in size, which is not enough for them to develop, so they came up with the idea of Fenghuo Island."
"In that case, Na Zi Hua, you'll have to make a hard trip to get rid of their lair. No problem, right?"
"No problem, the monks they have left behind are only three Zifu monks, number 30 or 40, they are very weak, I just need to lead a team of people."
"Okay, just get two flying boats and bring their mortals over. Try not to kill anyone. The immediate family members will be sold as slaves. The ordinary mortals can be broken up and integrated into the island.
In addition, ask someone to inquire about the price of the monk slaves, sell all the prisoners, and destroy all the monks' Dantian in Zifu. The buyers must also be extremely vicious, and it is best to have the ones with mines."
"This...is, the leader"
"After finding out the price, we will sell it to 30 people from the Lin family. Let them choose and give it to them at 20% off the market price."
"no problem"
Bai Zihua quickly agreed. In this incident, Fenghuo Island made a huge profit. They have earned more than one million Xuanjing now. After they robbed their lair and sold the people as slaves, they would probably
There is also a large amount of Xuan Jing.
Bai Zihua quickly followed the instructions. There were many casual cultivators in Fang City who knew the prices in the slave market. They found out after a little inquiry, and then asked Lin Zhongjun to take away thirty people. The prices were very cost-effective.
Then Bai Zihua quietly left Fenghuo Island with fifty disciples to take care of these people's lair, and the other disciples took over the rest.
Within a few days, a disciple reported to Lin Xiao that a middleman had come to spread the word. He was very interested in these monk captives and asked Lin Xiao if he wanted to sell them.
Lin Xiao is actually not very interested in this kind of bloody money. The reason why he does this is just to do as the Romans do. Only by integrating into this kind of rules can he gain a better foothold here.
So Lin Xiao agreed and almost sold it without raising the price. However, those Zifu monks had to destroy Dantian as a precaution. Even if the value was less than 1% of the previous value, they would not hesitate.
.
Half a month later, Bai Zihua came back, bringing back more than 20 monk prisoners, more than 5,000 mortals, and three treasure ships. The level was not high, only one was third level, but it was still valuable.
, at least one million Xuanjing, these three treasure ships were used by them when they went to sea, and they were notorious on the road. Lin Xiao found someone to renovate them, and after they were completed, they could be used by Fenghuo Island.
Among the more than 5,000 mortals, more than 1,000 were the direct relatives of the monks. Lin Xiao basically sold them, and most of them went to Wanhua Island. The ones above and below were the mortals who were placed on the island after the chaos.
Among villages and towns.
Lin Xiao did not treat these ordinary mortals badly, and still gave them fields according to their number, with ten acres of land per person. As long as they farmed honestly, there would be no problem in supporting themselves.
After handling this matter, Fenghuo Island's reputation became even louder. No one accused Lin Xiaofa of selling slaves. This was an unspoken rule in Luo Xinghai. Instead, they felt that Fenghuo Island was strong and could protect them safely.
In this place, the market has become more prosperous.
Half a year later, the three treasure ships were newly decorated and manned by Fenghuo Island disciples. They began to cruise the waters around Fenghuo Island. In addition, Lin Xiao also built two new piers, one for the shops of foreign monks and the other for his own people.
Used.
In addition, a bunker was built on the dock, and Xuanjing Cannon and God-Destroying Crossbow were purchased from the large islands of Dafang Island to strengthen the island's defense.
After the rectification, Fenghuo Island has entered a normal development trajectory, and the island has begun to generate a steady stream of income output. Although it has not yet reached a balance of payments, its financial resources are also growing steadily.
Two years later, Lin Xiao asked Bai Zihua to go to Dafang Island for trade with the treasure ship of the Eight Alliances. At the same time, he asked Bai Zihua to bring a letter to Hua Congjie or Hua Congchang, asking them to help arrange Bai Zihua's breakthrough. Daoji
The pill and the fragments of the Law of Heaven have been prepared for Bai Zihua.
Of course, the merit points accumulated by Bai Zihua cannot be exchanged for fragments of the Law of Heaven, and even the Dao Ji Dan is still a little short of it, but with Lin Xiao's support, this is not a big deal.
Fenghuo Island is in urgent need of a Dao Gang monk to take charge, and Lin Xiao has also thought about returning to the Tiansheng Sect. It has been more than 30 years since he came out, almost 40 years ago, and the few disciples of Jia Mengran before him
