Ye Chen and Yun Shuiyao arrived at a small island outside Hailan City and boarded a boat specially sailed to the city.
When I was in the sky, I saw that the sea was full of ships of all sizes.
Now that I'm on the boat, the surrounding sea is empty and not crowded.
The two of them were in a separate box, drinking fine wine and admiring the beautiful view of the sea.
Neither Ye Chen nor Yun Shuiyao were in charge of the money at the moment. Although Yun Shuiyao and the Yun Sect were poor, they got a very considerable sum of money because Ye Chen helped reorganize Yunzhou and the Yun Sect ransacked the homes of many traitorous elders of the sect.
of wealth.
As for Ye Chen, if he takes over the Zhaohan Empire, the entire empire's treasury will be Ye Chen's personal treasury. The Zhaohan Empire is not short of money, so the two of them don't feel bad about spending money.
"This ship is very interesting. It is driven by runes. It only requires practitioners to regularly replenish energy into the rune array to make the ship move forward."
Yun Shuiyao sensed the rune formation in the boat and found it very interesting.
Ye Chen nodded slightly. This is the power of cultivation civilization. In the cultivation world, because every practitioner is a natural energy storage station, the maintenance cost of all daily necessities and various supplies in the cultivation world is very high.
Very low.
In the world of science and technology, because individuals are too weak, they can only rely on technology. The cost of technology research and development alone is very high.
Yun Shuiyao always wanted to take this opportunity to find a topic to talk with Ye Chen, but every time he had a conversation, Ye Chen seemed to be perfunctory and nodded, which made Yun Shuiyao very unhappy.
"Sect Master Yun?"
When Yun Shuiyao felt unhappy, an exclamation sounded from beside him.
Although the two of them were in the box, they did not close the door. Moreover, the box was spacious and the door was opened wide.
When a group of more than a dozen people passed by the box, one of them recognized Yun Shuiyao at first glance.
"Someone actually knows you."
Ye Chen chuckled lightly and turned around to look at Yun Shuiyao with doubts. However, she didn't know those people. Just by looking at their appearance, she was sure they were from the northern border.
Each world has its own unique dressing style, especially those who dress in Yunzhou style.
Those people were very excited after recognizing Yun Shuiyao, and entered the room without Yun Shuiyao's permission.
A group of people trotted over and saluted Yun Shuiyao and also saluted Ye Chen.
"You know me?"
Ye Chen said casually.
"I don't know your surname?"
Facing Ye Chen's proactive inquiry, these people's eyes showed curiosity.
They knew Yun Shuiyao, but they didn't know Ye Chen, but if they could sit opposite the leader of the Yun Sect, he must be a person of great status.
It would have been a happy event to meet someone from his hometown elsewhere, but Yun Shuiyao responded with a very cold response.
Everyone in the northern realm knew about Yun Shuiyao's coldness, but Ye Chen, who had been in contact with her for a long time, knew that Yun Shuiyao really didn't want to communicate with these people.
Seeing that he couldn't chat with Yun Shuiyao, the latter sought a solution from Ye Chen. Ye Chen replied in one or two sentences out of politeness.
Through such exchanges, we learned that this group of people are members of the Shanshui Association, the largest chamber of commerce in Yunzhou. They came all the way here to participate in the chamber of commerce in order to seek some elixirs, formations, and methods for making some special products from the Middle Realm, and return to Yunzhou.
Made for sale.
During the exchange, Ye Chen also learned that this time Aquamarine City held the provincial capital, which also attracted many northern businessmen and practitioners.
They have already formed a theme outside, and many well-known geniuses and famous strong men in the northern realm have arrived.
During the exchange, the other party handed Ye Chen a jade stone that could be used for communication, and said that they could get together if they had time.
After saying goodbye, Yun Shuiyao said unhappily: "You don't need to pay attention to them. These guys from the Shanshui Society are extremely selfish. They have a lot of wealth but don't contribute to their hometown. Instead, they spend a lot of money to please the powerful outsiders."
"Oh, so you recognized them."
Ye Chen smashed his mouth and said.
Then Ye Chen changed the topic. Ye Chen was curious about how those geniuses and strong men in the northern realm were doing in the middle realm.
"There are many strong people who are famous, but the only one who is famous is Feng Wuhen. However, Feng Wuhen has an average network of people and has no energy of his own, so he has no influence."
"It goes without saying that there are geniuses. In the previous Sifang Realm Genius List, very few cultivators from the Northern Realm have been on the list."
Yun Shuiyao shook his head and said.
"Then what do you think caused it?"
Ye Chen condensed his voice after hearing the words.
Yun Shuiyao looked even more unhappy when she saw Ye Chen's eyes.
"What's wrong? There are no geniuses in the North. Is it possible that it has something to do with my Yun Sect?"
"Of course it does matter. One family is the only one. In the northern border, the Zhaohan Empire and the Yunzong family control almost all the resources. Your control of resources has formed a monopoly."
"But the operating methods of Yunzong and Zhaohan Empire before you could not attract real geniuses or cultivate geniuses. The strong ones born would either join you or be pushed out of the northern realm by you."
After Ye Chen explained, he asked Yun Shuiyao again about the number of strong men and geniuses who came out of the northern border.
After asking this question, Yun Shuiyao's face darkened, and after thinking for a moment, he told Ye Chen that there was a lot of leakage of these two.
"So that's right, why is the middle realm so powerful?
Although Tianzong is the only one, it does not monopolize resources like your Yunzong and Zhaohan Empire. Isn't Wuji Sect also a force in the middle realm?
That guy caused trouble everywhere and never saw Tianzong bothering them."
Ye Chen said.
There is reason and uniqueness for Tianzong to lead the Four Directions.
As for Yun Shuiyao, it was obviously Ye Chen who had made it clear. She had never thought about this issue before.
But at this time, Ye Chen brought up other things, which made Yun Shuiyao lose his patience and took the initiative to ask Ye Chen for a solution.
"Stop playing tricks and tell me how to solve it?"
Yun Shuiyao asked.
This has been going on for a long time, and Yun Shuiyao, who has been trying to tease Ye Chen, is always being pinched by Ye Chen.
"Simple, relax the policy and allow some forces to rise.
For example, you can cooperate with the Feng Zong and at the same time put pressure on the Zhaohan Empire to let the Feng Zong rise first."
"Geniuses and strong men, if they don't want to go to the Yun Sect, they can go to the Feng Sect to minimize the loss of resources.
Regardless of whether they go to the Yun Sect or the Feng Sect, essentially they are all the strong ones in your northern realm."
"When practitioners are away from home or encounter other places, local people can still unite together."
Ye Chen said.
This is not Ye Chen's own experience, but a natural survival law. When encountering danger, people who know each other will always form a group first.
Ye Chen and Yun Shuiyao told him a lot of solutions, but Yun Shuiyao had never done any of these things before, so he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy after hearing this.
"I think it's better to wait until we return and establish an alliance with the Zhaohan Empire and the Feng Sect. How about you being the leader of the alliance and directly managing the three parties?"
Seeing that this was too troublesome, Yun Shuiyao proposed to let Ye Chen manage it directly.
