Chapter 214 The Lord of Fantasy Island
Gao Hao and other workers walked towards the center of Huanli Island. When they approached the lake, they found it was in a mess.There were splashing rocks, broken water crystals, and even residues of demon soil and blood mercury everywhere.

In terms of materials, water crystals are the basic resource unit for condensing water-based Dao Qi. However, due to their insufficient purity and extremely high inertness, they cannot be used as a common material to stimulate formations. They can only continue to condense and form new water-based ores. It is Xuanyin Cold Marrow.

From a material point of view, the mineral resources of the four series are more than this one, and can be subdivided according to purity and efficacy.But when the water system resources are purified to a certain extent, the rules of the Taoist world will forcefully transform their structures and condense into Xuanyin Cold Marrow.

There are naturally a lot of troubles in the process, and it cannot be done by superficial purification and refining. Otherwise, there would not be so much magic soil and blood mercury in front of you.

In the process of building a city, it is often based on the laws stipulated by heaven to condense the city of Tao and the city given by heaven. This is the so-called ingenuity, and the lord does not need to worry about how to build every wood and stone, and how to save every gold and silver.This saves the lord's energy to a certain extent, allowing him to focus on resource plunder and war.

But there are also disadvantages, that is, most of the territorial lords are barbarians who are not good at internal affairs management. As for technology and people's livelihood, they are even more confused.When the second-level resources need to consume the city's heritage, they often cannot keep up.

However, Tao seeds also have their own specific advantages. After mastering the four elements, you are basically a natural Tao formation master. Even without any theoretical knowledge, you can improve the refinement of Yuan Jing just by your affinity to elements.If you learn more related skills, you will basically be a qualified junior formation master.

However, Tao seeds are too rare. Who is willing to waste their precious life doing repetitive work?Unless one is a person who specializes in this art and can gain insights while refining ore, most Taoists are unwilling to do these hard work.

"Quick! Quick! Mr. Fang Qiuzi has been injured."

"The water tunnel has collapsed. All the new resources are buried inside. Go rescue it quickly."

Several blood-stained workers were shouting hurriedly, with frightened expressions. Surrounded by a middle-aged man, his clothes were torn, his body hair was bald, his beard, eyebrows and hair were gone. It's Taoist formation master Fang Qiuzi.

Regardless of his own injuries, he hurriedly ordered the workers around him: "Leave me alone, get out the magic soil and blood mercury quickly, and take as much as you can!"

Listening to his hoarse roar, as if these resources were more important than his life, several workers were about to dig in, but were stopped by Gao Hao who came over.

"Don't go in. The resources in the mine are now mixed and extremely unstable. This is the most dangerous time. You will die if you go in!"

"Da...Lord Gao Hao!"

Several workers glanced at the blocker and stopped one after another when they realized it was Gao Hao.

Fang Qiuzi glared angrily, not caring about the lord at all: "Water mineral deposits are the mildest mineral veins. They can neutralize demon soil and blood mercury. You only need to sprinkle some spiritual wood powder to stop the explosion. I have studied this for decades. Don’t you know better than you?”

Gao Hao's face remained unchanged and his attitude remained firm: "You are right, but who can do such a precise operation just right? Now that you are injured and unable to move, letting the workers in is just asking for death. Although I, Huanli Island, am eager The output of mineral deposits has increased, but human life has been paid more attention to, leaving green hills without worrying about having no firewood.

You, including these 20 workers, are the more rare resources, not the water-based minerals.

When I come back from the royal capital this time, I plan to allocate 2 of each of the four rare resources to you. You can study them as much as you want. The rest that need support will be arranged to the best of my ability. "

Although they were all clichés from the past, the miners of this era were obviously moved. Compared with the lord who once made them work day and night, Gao Hao seemed to be a completely different person.

The people who followed Gao Hao from the port all testified for him in unison: "Fang Qiuzi, the lord is right. It is not easy to cultivate a water miner. It is better to be cautious."

"Just now, Mr. Gao Hao personally promised to give you resources to help you develop mineral deposits. Look! There are transporters in the convoy behind."

Fang Qiuzi still didn't believe it. He looked towards the edge of the island, and sure enough he saw a long dragon transporting resources, heading here. Judging from the luster of the mineral system, everything was there.

At this moment, several more roars came from the water mine not far away, and rocks splashed.Just when everyone was extremely frightened and wanted to escape, Gao Hao stretched out his arm forward, and a water curtain turned into an arc-shaped shield, covering his head to protect the surrounding miners from harm.

The explosion continued for a few more breaths before stopping. The miners who were just about to go in were already sweating. Looking at the rubble on the ground, they did not think that flesh and blood were harder than stone, and they couldn't help but cast grateful glances at the lord.

Fang Qiuzi, on the other hand, looked at Gao Hao in surprise. Demonic soil and blood mercury were two of the four special resources that were relatively unstable. It could be seen from the forces that needed them that even if special high-level troops were summoned, the resources would be replenished. Often less peaceful.As for architecture, let alone that.

But instability is not necessarily a bad thing, because the water crystals are too inert and require some unstable catalysts to make them active and reach a balance in order to refine the cold marrow.Otherwise, the mineral deposit will always be like a stone, and even if it is polished for 1 years, it will not be able to melt into Xuanyin Cold Marrow.

Fang Qiuzi said: "Sir, please don't think that you will get carried away after learning a little bit from the royal capital. The knowledge about Tao formations and mineral deposits is vast, and there is still much to know. What's more, the technology brought back by Prince Ayumu from the north may not be suitable for We at Xuanshi Archipelago must not apply blindly to avoid big mistakes."

Gao Hao nodded humbly: "Master Fang is naturally the elite in this area. I am only responsible for providing resources, and you and the miners will do the rest. I don't want to do this kind of hard work!"

Seeing that the lord had made a clear distinction, Fang Qiuzi was very satisfied and asked his men to unload resources before hurriedly going back to heal.

Under the observation of Gao Hao's soul, the Dao Formation Master was surrounded by a thin layer of water mist, which was composed of water-type Dao Qi. It was somewhat similar to ordinary extraordinary soldiers, but its proficiency talents were all focused on research and development.

This is a bit like the witchcraft in the witch tower that specializes in witchcraft. It usually devotes itself to witchcraft classics and has average combat ability. Although it can also fight, it is a bit wasteful.

The best Taoist masters are naturally Taoists. Taoists like Jimo and Tianshi are all likely to awaken talents related to formations. Not only do they have superb Taoism and profound theories, but they also integrate knowledge and action. They are definitely developed by the internal affairs mines. Excellent player.

Now in the dream world, naturally we can't be too demanding.The Dao formation master of Huanli Island is not too bad. You can tell from the water Dao Qi surrounding him. This person has been immersed in water mines all year round and has first-class manipulation abilities.

Although his personality is a bit unsophisticated and even a little arrogant, this is the biggest problem in this world, and it is also the reason why Fang Qiuzi was abandoned.But in Gao Hao's view, if technical talents are not proud, can they still be called technical talents?

In recent years, Fang Qiuzi has been working hard to develop water-based minerals on Huanli Island. The treatment and environment are poor, and he is not favored by the lord. He knows that the big head will be taken away by the lord in the end, but he is still full of enthusiasm.When an accident occurs in a mine, the first thing that comes to mind is not your own safety, but the property of the mine owner. I even heard that there were no rare resources before, and the research and development progress was stuck in a bottleneck. So where did these materials come from, and did you pay for them out of your own pocket?It’s simply a new age imitation of labor.The capitalists will cry when they hear this, so what else can they ask for?

From now on, Gao Hao will let the Taoist masters and workers feel what the care of the new era means.

Of course, if you want to increase the output of mineral deposits, you need more than just a little bit of Huairou detection, you also need to continue to recruit talents. In terms of research, only talents are the most critical.

Gao Hao has just integrated Huanli Island's resources with city officials and found that the situation is indeed not optimistic.

There is no other income on the entire island, not even a meeting hall. People here do not accept spiritual jade, but only exchange items for dream coins.The only output of Huanli Island is water crystals. Not only do they have to trade resources, pay taxes, but they also have to maintain the mineral deposits. No wonder the lord was unwilling to allocate funds to Fang Qiuzi before.

Seeing that he has not been able to successfully research Xuanyin Cold Marrow for many years, it is a waste of resources that no one can stop.

After everyone left, several more explosions occurred. Gao Hao did not rush to ask the miners to clean up. With the activity of the magic soil and blood mercury, the explosion would be over in half a day at the latest. It would be more appropriate to clean up at that time.

[After soul exploration and discovery of barren water mineral deposits (the passage was buried), you have a general understanding of the situation on Fantasy Island and have some ideas for improvement.Goal [-]: Refining a true Xuanyin Cold Essence.

Goal 5 (optional): Cultivate a qualified intermediate Taoist master and [-] auxiliary miners.

Goal three (required): Complete the progress test of the royal capital in three months. You must produce a craft that satisfies Prince Ayumu.

Goal [-] (Trigger): The Xuanshi Islands are not peaceful. Sirens and bandits emerge in endlessly. There are constant disputes between the islands. Everything is hidden under a conspiracy.Are you going to use force to pierce the cover, or are you going to continue to be a shrinking ostrich? 】

The mission of Fantasy Island this time was very detailed, with special emphasis on refining, indicating that it relied on craftsmanship or Taoist methods to make it, rather than robbing it.Otherwise, there must be other forces in the archipelago waters, and it is not impossible to obtain Xuanyin Cold Essence through massive plunder.

As for how to identify it, it is most likely to be Prince Ayumu. He wants to promote the superb mineral smelting technology in the north, so he must attach great importance to craftsmanship. If he does not follow the method he brought back, even if there is progress, it may not be recognized. , and may even be guilty of possessing the jade. This is the difficulty of this dream.

Objectives one and three are very closely tied, but they are not necessarily connected. If Gao Hao has a way to obtain the resource ores to develop the other four series, he can also cope with Prince Ayumu's inspection.Although the dream world obviously does not encourage this approach, it still shows that there is a way to achieve it, and there may be a way to do it.

Goal [-] told a cruel truth, that is, Fang Qiuzi and the miners, whom Gao Hao worked so hard to win over, were still not popular in the archipelago.Although the water system Dao Formation Master was described in the initial introduction, it is obvious that Fang Qiuzi is still far from the intermediate level.

However, Gao Hao didn't care much about this. The art of array formation was extensive and profound, and it was extremely difficult for even a Taoist to learn it. It was really rare for Fang Qiuzi, as a non-Taoist, to have such skills.And according to Gao Hao's judgment, Fang Qiuzi is very close to the intermediate level. What he lacks is the confidence to successfully refine it. The moment Xuanyin Cold Marrow is born, it is the day Fang Qiuzi is promoted.

As for the fourth goal, Gao Hao did not rush to analyze it. Instead, he ordered the foreman Yanagida who was following him: "Take me to visit the island. I haven't been back for a while, and I feel a lot has changed."

"Order!"

So Gao Hao took a few guards and walked around the island with Yanagita to get a general understanding of the situation on Huanli Island.

The island is not big, covering hundreds of square kilometers.In the eyes of ordinary people, it may be a long distance, but for creatures in the Tao world, it is not really vast.The total population is not large, it has not exceeded a thousand people, and is about the same as the original village.

But the geographical environment is really harsh.Islanders usually make a living by fishing and working as sailors on trading fleets to support their families.The most profitable thing turned out to be the part-time workers recruited by the water mine every year, and the wages were high.

Huanli Island is a territory of Xuanshi Islands. It is already close to the middle sea. When the wind and waves rise, you can often see extremely terrifying sea monsters.

It was previously recorded in the inscription that each island needs to hide its location, which is not a lie. Even except for the leader of a country, the rest are not allowed to leave the central sea area. Once discovered, no matter what the reason, they will be punished with treason.

Such a strict law is to prevent someone from leaking the location of the island. Although the location of the island is not a coordinate direction in the ordinary sense, once it is known to other island kingdoms in the sea, it is like controlling the wealth and life of the archipelago. No matter how careful you are, you can't do anything. Pass.

The legend of the endless sea has always been circulated, like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the creatures on the islands.The terrifying monsters that occasionally appear on the sea also prove the authenticity of the legend.

Compared with the Qiongsha Island that is about to be destroyed, the Xuanshi Islands are obviously much safer, and Prince Ayumu still has time to travel.Moreover, there must be a safe passage between these islands. Otherwise, if you don’t know how to get there, wouldn’t you be afraid of having your location obtained even if you go there?

There is also the Hundred Islands Conference mentioned before. If there is really endless sea surveillance and only sailing by wooden boats, not to mention a hundred islands, even ten islands cannot be collected.

"What's going on ahead? Why are people gathering here?"

"Sir, this is the private army assembled by your future brother-in-law to manage taxes. Due to the recent typhoon, everyone's harvest is not good, so we still hope to delay it."

After hesitating for a moment, Yanagita mustered up the courage to tell the reason and stared at the lord nervously.

Gao Hao just nodded lightly and said nothing.

Continuing to walk, he saw some islanders in the grove market and came forward to talk in person. After the atmosphere gradually eased, everyone begged for some tax relief.

Although the conversation was very friendly, Gao Hao did not admit it on the spot, but said he would think about it when he got back.

The islanders looked very sad in their disappointment. As a ruled islander, if they had not reached the limit of their lives, how could they dare to make such suggestions in front of the majestic lord?Either way, it's death. There seems to be no difference between starving to death and being beaten to death.

When we returned to the island in the evening, another wave of merchants came, saying that people from the government office had robbed the cargo of the merchant ship.This batch of goods was promised to be transported to the royal capital, and it was negotiated with great difficulty by the fleet owner.

The businessman even knelt in front of the door and cried to Gao Hao.

At this moment, the future brother-in-law of the lord came back angrily with his private soldiers and wanted to hack the merchant to death in front of him.

Gao Hao gently raised his hand to stop the other party.

"Come in with me!"

With a simple word, the favored brother-in-law followed him in and was never heard from again.

The next day, shocking news appeared on Huanli Island. The head of his evil-doing brother-in-law was hung on a flagpole for public display. The lord announced that he would change his past and lead Huanli Island on the road to revival.

In the past few days, the lord visited the fleet, shops, and inquired closely with the miner islanders. It was as if he had changed into a different person. Everyone was addicted to happiness and did not even dare to close their eyes for fear that the happiness would disappear when they opened their eyes again. .

Although some people say that Prince Ayumu put pressure on them, if the island owners fail to complete the set goals, they will be severely punished.But most people feel that the lord may really have a profound enlightenment. After all, even if there is external pressure, this change is too big.

While people's hearts are gradually recovering, Gao Hao is also paying attention to possible dangers.

Coincidentally, this person was very close to him, and was about to become the new lord's wife, his brother-in-law's sister.

No, to be serious, she's not even human!

Gao Hao looked at the slender beauty with plump breasts and fat buttocks and wheat-colored waves in front of him. He smiled and waved his hand, asking the imperial guards to surround her.

"Are you right, Shark-girl?"
