Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 298: Revenge of the Sea Clan (Subscribe)

A month later.

The sea tides subsided along the coast.

The market on Wolong Island is full of joy.

Various sea animal materials and sea animal meat are on sale at a reduced price.

Wolong Island was unscathed by this wave of high tide.

The monks on the island had a great harvest and had a prosperous year.

The head of the Wei family of Baihe Island brought Wei Zhongchang to visit the island in person.

Yu Zhongchang continued his steam engine and flying puppet research and development projects.

Here, no matter what crazy ideas you have, you can experiment with them.

All expenses were reimbursed by the Chen family.

He liked the atmosphere of the cultivation academy.

The head of the Yu family came to discuss business.

As a weapon refining family, they have unique sales channels for sea beast materials.

Not only can we ship in large quantities, but we can also sell at a high price.

The Chen family and the Wei family were originally allied families.

In the spirit of keeping things within the family, Chen Xuan only kept a small portion of the second-level sea beast materials, and the rest were all purchased by the head of the Wei family.

"The tide is rising, and everyone else is worried, but Island Master Chen is making a fortune!"

There were so many second-level sea beast materials that the head of the Wei family couldn't help but sigh.

He is also a veteran in foundation building.

After sixty years of foundation building, he has reached the middle stage of foundation building.

But it's no match for Chen Xuan.

During this sea tide, the seven sect foundation-building masters who were developing the Linghai gold sand mine on Baihe Island took the initiative to join forces with the Wei family. The number of second-level sea beasts they killed was less than that of Chen Xuan alone.

When he first heard that the Nangong family had moved out of Wolong Island, he was a little envious of the Nangong family.

When he heard that the person who would take over was a young man who had just established his foundation, he was once thinking of laughing at the joke.

The island dojo is much more difficult than the land dojo.

I didn’t expect that it only took ten years.

Chen Xuan let him know what a sect monster is.

Before he knew it, he had become the number one cultivator in the Dongshan Islands.

Not to mention his Wei family, even the Lu family of Yunze Island, the Yu family of Mingyang Island, and the Zhang family of Tianjian Island were all willing to admit defeat.

He is the number one cultivator in Dongshan and he deserves the title.

"Master Wei, you're joking. I, Chen, was also very worried, fearing that the sea tide would destroy Wolong Island. I was just lucky, and my skills countered each other, so I was lucky enough to kill these second-level sea beasts."

Chen Xuan smiled modestly.

Even though I know it's just polite talk, I still have to say a few words.

In his plan, the Wei family is an indispensable ally.

Therefore, he didn't mind letting the Wei family earn some spirit stones.

"Master Wei, is there a way to improve the flying puppet? One that is cheap, fast, has a long range, and has a strong self-destruction power?"

This is also the improvement request that Chen Xuan put forward to Wei Zhongchang.

"It's difficult. Flying puppets are always expensive. A cultivator's spiritual awareness is limited, so it's difficult to master everything."

Chen Xuan could understand this.

The drone bombing swarm he had seen in his previous life used wireless communication technology, which had not yet been developed in this world of cultivation.

"Take your time, don't rush."

The two chatted, and Chen Xuan mentioned that the Yu family on Mingyang Island suffered heavy losses.

"There were signs of this a long time ago."

"The Yu family's practice of luring sea beasts into spirit beasts has long caused dissatisfaction among the sea clan. The previous few times the Yu family faced sea tides, each one more dangerous than the last."

Only then did Chen Xuan understand.

It turns out that the powerful among the sea beasts are quite disgusted with the behavior of domestically controlling sea beasts.

Taking advantage of the power of the sea tide, he deliberately hit the Yu family hard as a warning.

No wonder the Yu family left the Song State's Beast Emperor Pavilion and switched to the Yu State's Lingyuan Sect, moving to the land-based Taoist temple.

"So, when doing things and being a human being, we should leave some room for maneuver. After all, we are nothing in the world of cultivation."

"Thank you, Brother Wei Dao, for reminding me."

The head of the Wei family was subtly reminding Chen Xuan not to go too far in killing sea beasts.

After all, there are many powerful sea creatures hidden in this sea area. In their eyes, a foundation-building cultivator is not much different from a small fish or shrimp.

After chatting, Chen Xuan took out a large pile of second-level sea beast materials.

The head of the Wei family counted and classified them one by one, and Wei Zhongchang helped him and recorded them.

After a long time, the two of them finished counting and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Island Master Chen, the materials for twenty-three second-level sea beasts! There are more than a dozen mid-grade ones, you are truly amazing!"

Chen Xuan smiled.

There were also four second-level medium-grade sea beasts made of special materials, so he kept them as backup and did not take them out.

"It's worth 1.8 million spirit stones. I can't afford that much right now."

"That's fine. Brother Weidao, just pay me whatever you have. For the rest, write a contract and pay me after you sell it."

"That's daring."

The head of the Wei family paid 800,000 spirit stones and happily wrote the IOU contract.

Chen Xuan accepted the spirit stone and the contract calmly.

There is the Linghai gold sand mine on Baihe Island, and the Wei family has retained a certain amount of share income, so he is not afraid that the Wei family will default on its debts.

After seeing off the head of the Wei family, Chen Xuan took the spirit stone and went to make Jiang Yingxue happy.

Over the years, Jiang Yingxue has clearly felt the pressure and has insisted on concentrating on her hard training.

However, her qualifications are too ordinary and her comprehension is also average.

Despite having a high-end training room and various spiritual foods and elixirs, Jiang Yingxue, who is nearly forty years old, has only barely reached the ninth level of Qi training.

At her current speed, it would be considered a success if she could establish her foundation by the age of fifty.

Zhou Liqi, at the age of thirty, had already reached the ninth level of Qi training.

The foundation building should come before her.

I heard from my husband that Zhou Liqi has a very high success rate in building her foundation.

It is most likely a medium-grade Dao foundation.

Jiang Yingxue bears the title of the eldest lady, but there is not a single person in her clan who has reached the foundation-building stage.

Zhou Liqi is a direct descendant of the Jinyang Sect's high-level officials. Her great-grandfather is the current Jindan Zhenren City Lord, and some of her clansmen have also joined the Chen family.

As she grew older, Jiang Yingxue felt more and more that her position was unstable.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan is a man of affection and righteousness.

Always respect her position as the eldest lady.

All personal property was handed over to her for safekeeping without reservation.

Especially shiny things like spirit stones.

"so much?"

Eighty high-grade spirit stones were placed on Jiang Yingxue's bed, blinding her eyes.

"There are still a hundred left. Patriarch Wei doesn't have the cash, so they'll be delivered once the goods are sold."

Chen Xuan handed the contract signed by the head of the Wei family to Jiang Yingxue.

"There's no need to rush about cultivation. The most important thing for you now is to have a good rest and relax." "Don't worry, with your husband here, he will definitely help you build your foundation within ten years."

Chen Xuan said with great responsibility.

Only he, who possesses the Xuantian Pure Yang Gong, the Five Elements cultivation, the divine eye for detection, and the Qingmu Yunling Gong for nourishment and treatment, dares to make such a boast.

For ordinary cultivators, even if they are the direct descendants of the sect's high-level leaders, it would be extremely difficult to succeed in building a foundation if they have the spiritual roots, aptitude and comprehension of Jiang Yingxue.

Hearing this, Jiang Yingxue finally smiled.

She had a blind trust in Chen Xuan.

Since her husband said that there would be no worries in building the foundation and it would be accomplished in ten years, she would definitely believe it.

After comforting and persuading Jiang Yingxue, Chen Xuan went to see Su Yanping again.

Relatively speaking, Su Yanping was not as anxious as Jiang Yingxue.

Her spiritual root aptitude is better than Jiang Yingxue's.

Moreover, I have never suffered any hardship since childhood.

He has been following Chen Xuan for a long time and his practice has been going smoothly.

Just follow the steps and you will definitely be able to build a foundation before the age of fifty.

As for Zhou Liqi.

Chen Xuan didn't even need to mention the matter of foundation building to her.

Instead, we should advise her to calm down, not be impatient, and polish herself to become more perfect and flawless.

Outside Wolong Island, the head of the Yu family came on a second-grade high-quality warship.

However, this time, his face was filled with sorrow.

"Island Master Chen, have you ever considered purchasing Mingyang Island?"

Patriarch Yu forced a smile and said to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was startled.

Mingyang Island is the largest in the Dongshan Islands. It is a second-grade top-quality island with a good geographical location.

If it is auctioned at the market price, it cannot be bought without millions of spirit stones.

Don’t say Chen Xuan can’t afford it.

Even if he could afford it, he wouldn't dare to buy it.

The powerful sea tribe had just warned him.

He went to purchase Mingyang Island again, wasn't that courting death?

"Master Yu, you're joking. Chen Xuan doesn't have the financial resources."

Chen Xuan refused directly.

The head of the Yu family did not stay for long and left on the warship.

I'm afraid he went to Yu or Lu to find another buyer.

……

In the following days, the Dongshan Islands returned to peace.

The news that the Yu family wanted to sell the Mingyang Island Taoist temple had spread throughout the Dongshan Islands.

But for some reason, no buyer was found.

I guess it’s hard to agree on a price.

Those who know the inside story will not ask for a high price.

But this is a second-level top-grade island, and it is sold at such a low price that the Yu family really can’t bear to part with it.

The Zhang family of Tianjian Island also sent people to visit the island.

"Brother Zhang, how come you have time to come here!"

The one who came was Zhang Shuling.

Chen Xuan hurried out to greet him.

Today, Zhang Shuling’s position in Tianjian Island is stable, and he is being trained as the next generation head of the family.

The relationship between him and Chen Xuan is just a bonus.

What the Zhang family really values is Zhang Shuling's attainments in swordsmanship and his moral character.

The two chatted for a while.

The spiritual rice harvested by the Zhang family, and the Peiyuan Pills and Yangqi Pills refined in the giant furnace, except for those used by their own family members, were all given to Chen Xuan and sold to the Tianfu Chamber of Commerce at a unified price.

Maybe, more experience.

Maybe, the status is different.

Zhang Shuling, who was originally a bit pedantic, has now become easy-going.

Also willing to listen to what others say.

No longer show your emotions when facing different opinions.

Chen Xuan secretly approved in his heart.

Sure enough, people are made through training.

In previous lives, whether it was Liu Bang or Zhu Yuanzhang, after they pacified the world, many of those who held high positions were from the same hometown.

So much so that some historians claim that it is enough to have talented people in one county to govern a country.

In fact, he was a talented person in that county who was highly valued and had enough opportunities and stages. After experiencing hardships, he was reborn from the ashes and became a great talent.

After Zhang Shuling left, Chen Xuan also began to reorganize the affairs of Wolong Island.

With his rise, the Chen family's status in the outside world became more and more prominent.

It is inevitable that some cases of abuse of power and corruption will occur.

When Chen Xuan first arrived at Wolong Island, there was a shortage of manpower and he needed to stabilize people's morale, so he relaxed the situation for the time being.

Now, Wolong Island and the Chen family are thriving and their status is becoming increasingly prominent.

It's time to carry out rectification.

In the following period, Chen Xuan spent a lot of time carrying out the rectification movement across the island.

Fortunately, there are not many people in the Chen family.

There were only about forty people following him at first.

Only a dozen people joined later.

After the work style of these Chen family members was rectified, the rest of the recruited city guards and law enforcement teams dared not act recklessly.

To this end, Chen Xuan made an example of someone to scare the monkeys and beheaded an old member of the Zhou family in front of all the clansmen.

He accepted a bribe of two hundred spirit stones and falsified the household registration of the monks who moved in.

No substantial damage was caused to Wolong Island, but the reputation of the Chen family was affected. Chen Xuan was impartial and fair.

Zhou Liqi and Zhou Shiren knew what was going on, so they played along with Chen Xuan and tried to plead for him in front of everyone, but were ruthlessly rejected by Chen Xuan.

At the same time, Chen Xuan once again improved the treatment of his clansmen and recruited monks.

On the one hand, there are high salaries and benefits, and on the other hand, there is no regard for the severity of the law and severe punishment.

Since then, the Chen family's work style has changed greatly, and integrity and dedication have become the family creed.

At this time, the development of Wolong Island has entered the fast lane.

Cultivating spiritual rice seeds and refining elixirs in a giant furnace can bring in an income of up to one million spiritual stones from just these two items.

After deducting all the rising costs of raw materials, labor, etc., there is still a profit of 500,000 to 600,000 spirit stones.

"Enough is enough."

Chen Xuan ordered the Wolong warship to undergo maintenance and no longer go out fishing or hunting.

In fact, at this time, the prices of various sea beasts, spirit fish and demon shrimps have plummeted, and everyone wants to take a break for a while.

Either spend spirit stones to live a carefree life, or purchase elixirs to practice diligently.

The monks in the market town of Wolong Island gathered their strength, and the road ahead became brighter and brighter.
