Xu Jianyan was originally a direct descendant of a cultivating family in the Luo Xinghai Islands. The beast tide broke out more than a hundred years ago. Xu Jianyan's family participated in the war. All the monks died in the battle. They mortals were gathered by the Luo Xinghai Alliance, and finally ended up with
The situation of military exploits was replaced by some forces of immortal cultivators.
During the years of the beast tide, Xu Jianyan's family lived in extreme hardship. The alliance recruited so many mortals that it could only ensure that they did not starve to death and did not even have enough to eat.
Until later, he was replaced by an immortal cultivator named Xiao Lin and came to an island on Fenghuo Island. Not long after he landed on the island, he was detected to have spiritual roots, and his family also benefited from this, not only
More fields were allocated, and there were more cattle, equipment, and rations.
On Fenghuo Island, Xu Jianyan practiced extremely hard. Everyone in Luo Xinghai knew that in the world of Luo Xinghai, being an immortal cultivator is the only way out. Only by becoming an immortal cultivator can you protect your family and provide them with benefits.
A superior life and a broader world.
Therefore, Xu Jianyan did not dare to slack off in any way. In addition, because of his good qualifications, his practice went very smoothly. He was soon selected as a core disciple by Fenghuo Island, and was given the best martial arts skills and the largest monthly salary.
The most resources.
After more than a hundred years of hard training, he has broken through the Dao Gang level. However, for Fenghuo Island, Dao Gang is not uncommon. On this seemingly ordinary island, there will always be strange Dao Gang arriving. Slowly,
Xu Jianyan knew that there was a backer behind Fenghuo Island, and it seemed that the backer was quite large.
The real inside story was only known after Xu Jianyan broke through Daogang. The island owner of Fenghuo Island, Yu Tianxiang, found him and revealed all the forces behind Fenghuo Island.
Regarding this, Xu Jianyan did not feel any discomfort. It was relatively normal for Luo Xinghai to switch to a sect. Many islands could not protect themselves and were often invaded by people or occupied by monsters. Low-level disciples and enemies generally would not be killed.
, and find ways to integrate.
Of course, Daogang monks are not considered low-level disciples, but knowing that there is a stronger backer behind Fenghuo Island, Xu Jianyan will only be happy. After all, Luo Xinghai is still threatened by monsters. Once a monster wave occurs, not only will there be
With stronger strength to resist, even if it is impossible to resist, there will still be a way out.

"Disciple Xu Jianyan has met the leader."
"Jian Yan, I haven't seen you for many years, and you have grown up."
Lin Xiao nodded and said, Xu Jianyan was a disciple who he personally taught. Back then, Lin Xiao supported Fenghuo Island by himself and collected some children with spiritual roots from the mortals on the island. Even the enlightenment education was provided by Lin Xiao.
I laughed because I did it myself, so I still have an impression of Xu Jianyan.
"Yes, if it hadn't been for the master's rescue, Jianyan would have died at the mouth of the monster. Thank you so much for the master's kindness."
"It doesn't have to be like this. It is our duty as monks to help people in danger and rescue them. Thank you for your hard work on Fenghuo Island these years."
"I don't dare. It's Senior Sister Tianxiang and the others who have done the hard work. It hasn't been long since I broke through Daogang, and I haven't made any great achievements at all."
"It doesn't matter if you have great achievements or not. This time, I will personally come to Fenghuo Island to take charge. You can rest for a while. By the way, do you want to go to the mountain gate to take a look?"
"Master, can I go?"
"Of course, Fenghuo Island was founded by me. It is no different from Tiansheng Sect. As long as you want to go there, you can go."
"Then I want to go. I heard that Senior Sister Tianxiang said that the mountain gate is getting stronger and stronger, and it is much better than Fenghuo Island. Unfortunately, I have never had the chance to go."
"Okay, I will arrange this matter, but then you have to be careful not to leak anything about Fenghuo Island easily."
"Yes, Master"
"Okay, there's more..."
Lin Xiao explained a few more words, and then asked Xu Jianyan to go down and rest. Lin Xiao had already thought about it. The monks on Fenghuo Island would go to live with the sect for a few years before breaking through to Daogang.
They must strengthen their sense of belonging to the sect, and they must also accept the ideological education from the sect. Luo Xinghai's power is more tolerant and open than Nanzhou. Sometimes it is a good thing, sometimes it is not a good thing, so there are some things
Must be done.
Within a few days, Xu Jianyan embarked on the journey to Tiansheng Sect under Ye Xiao's arrangement, and Lin Xiao gradually became familiar with the inside story of Fenghuo Island.
Generally speaking, there are no problems with the development of Fenghuo Island, but there are quite a few problems among the mortals. Several large mortal families have appeared on the island, including Xu Jianyan’s Xu family. There were seven members of the Xu family back then, and now there are
More than a hundred years have passed, and the Xu family actually has more than a thousand people. And because of Xu Jianyan, they have thousands of slaves and tens of thousands of acres of land. This is very inappropriate.
Although Fenghuo Island has a radius of four thousand miles, there is not much land that can be developed. Not even one-fifth of it has been developed yet. The island is full of mountains, and many places are full of rocks. There is no land that can be cultivated.
Not much.
After all, Yu Tianxiang is a woman with a soft heart, and she cannot see some of Lin Xiao's arrangements. Lin Xiao has to take this opportunity to straighten things out, and at the same time preside over the continued development of Fenghuo Island, allowing mortals to develop the inland areas of Fenghuo Island.
.
Lin Xiao was very experienced in these matters, so naturally there was no problem. With one order, a hundred thousand young mortals were mobilized. Under the protection of hundreds of immortal cultivators, they entered the deep mountains and old forests, cut down trees, dug out mountains, and hollowed out the hills one after another.
The land was leveled, roads were built on a large scale, water conservancy facilities were built, etc.
These matters are left to mortal stewards to take care of. Lin Xiao only needs to keep an eye on the general direction. Lin Xiao should focus more on the immortal cultivators.
Lin Xiao appeared frequently, met with the immortal cultivators on the island, inspected some monks, and promoted some talents. Lin Xiao had been away from Fenghuo Island for so long that few of the later monks knew about Lin Xiao, so more people had to be added.
Sense of presence.
At the same time, we must also expand the island's financial resources. There were three financial resources on the island before. The first was the production of spiritual veins on the island, the elixirs and talismans refined by the monks, etc. The second was the management of the market.
The third point is obtained by the treasure ship going out to hunt monsters.
In fact, the income from these three places is not very large. It is only about one hundred Xuanjing per year, which is enough for the expenses of the island, but it does not accumulate much wealth. It will definitely be very difficult to transfuse the Tiansheng Sect in the future.
If it doesn't work well, it will make the monks on the island feel cold, so Lin Xiao must expand his financial sources.
The first place to start is Fangshi on the island. After more than a hundred years of development, Fangshi on the island has a lot of residents and shops. The permanent population is two to three thousand people, and the floating population is even more, so
The market seemed crowded.
Lin Xiao re-planned the city, expanded it again, and strengthened the defense of formations, upgrading all formations to the fourth-level high-grade level, and then continued to increase the number of alchemy rooms and weapon refining rooms.
These alchemy rooms and weapon refining rooms made of earth fire can actually only be used by lower-level alchemists and weapon refiners. Dao Gang monks can emit Gang fire and do not need these external objects. However, the number of low-level monks is also very large.
It is huge, so this kind of alchemy room and weapon refining room are still very popular.
Lin Xiao mobilized the underground fire and built dozens of alchemy rooms and weapon refining rooms within a year. At the same time, he slightly lowered the price of renting these weapon refining rooms, which immediately attracted more casual cultivators to come.
The docks supporting Fang City also started to be expanded at the same time. Lin Xiao sent people to clean up the port, crush the boulders, clean up the silt and garbage, and deepen the depth of the port to accommodate larger treasure ships.
At the same time, it also increased the number of berths in the port, increased the number of treasure ships docking, and personally promoted many talents in the management team of the port, and set up reward projects to let them improve the management of the city. How can we benefit the port more efficiently and quickly?
Everyone is generous with rewards.
After doing this, it was time to improve the spiritual veins on the island. Lin Xiao cut off the branch of the original fourth-level spiritual vein on the island on the Fangshi side, and then invested heavily in cultivating it again to create a second spiritual vein.
, this method is also commonly used by the large islands in the Luoxinghai Archipelago, but the cost is relatively high.
The other thing is to go to places on Dafang Island to buy treasures that enhance spiritual veins. Lin Xiao can go to places where Daogang monks cannot go, and auctions that cannot be attended. The circles are different, and the things bought and sold are also different.
Improving the spiritual veins cannot be done in a short time. Lin Xiao began to gather the weapon refiners on the island to teach them personally and improve their weapon refinement level. When their skills are improved, they can refine more magic weapons.
, to arm those treasure ships so that they can better go to sea to hunt monsters.
After more than a hundred years of accumulation, Fenghuo Island already has more than ten treasure ships, but most of them are third-level treasure ships. There are only four fourth-level treasure ships. All three are used to defend Fenghuo Island, which is a huge waste of power.
.
Now that Lin Xiao is stationed on Fenghuo Island, the rest of the treasure ships can go out to the sea to hunt monsters. So the monks on the island have formed teams to go to the sea, and even recruited casual cultivators to join them.
After Lin Xiao's rectification in the past few years, the entire Fenghuo Island has once again exploded with strong momentum, its financial resources have increased sharply, monks have been continuously produced, and the improvement rate of most people's cultivation has also accelerated.
Lin Xiao started busy as soon as she arrived, with almost no time for leisure. Yu Tianxiang also admired her very much, letting her know that her master's achievements were not for nothing, but all achieved through her own hard work. She did not dare to relax at all, and she was still the best.
Practice hard without stopping.
As for her suitors, Yu Tianxiang ignored them all and pushed them all to Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao was an aura monk. Naturally, a group of Taoists did not dare to look down on them, especially
Lin Xiao was extremely young, and he felt extremely guilty when facing Lin Xiao, which drove away some people.
But there are some people who cannot be driven away. These people either have strong backgrounds and are not afraid of the aura monk Lin Xiao, or they are extremely thick-skinned, such as a nephew of Lin Zhongjun.
Wanhua Island suffered a lot of losses in the last beast wave, but it had already recovered its vitality more than a hundred years ago, and with the Lingguang monks in charge, it had a lot of confidence. Lin Zhongjun's nephew pursued Yu Tianxiang and gained the Lin family.
support, so even if Yu Tianxiang repeatedly refused, he did not give up. (To be continued)
