Yang Jiabiao, the anti-bone boy, repeatedly instigated Ding Yi to annex other pirates. The pirates on this side of the mirage are uneven in strength, led by a guy named Jin Tai Sui.

That guy is just a spirit-level cultivator, and there are seven or eight low-level cultivators under his command to serve him, occupying a large island, Changya Island, with almost five thousand pirates and a population of nearly 300,000.

Ding Yi didn't even pay attention to Jin Taisui, how could he attack Liu Mazi? He rejected Yang Jiabiao's suggestion. However, he couldn't chill the hearts of these guys, so he had to pour some fan soup on Yang Jiabiao and Zhang Bao.

"Lao Zhang, Ah Biao, I understand your thoughts, this has strength, why don't you take down a bigger place? Pull up the banner and gather a group of heroes, even if you can't build a country, you can be a hero, right?"

Yang Jiabiao and Zhang Bao looked at Ding Yi in a daze, listening to Ding Yi continue to tell the story.

"There are several kinds of so-called strength, force, popularity, financial resources, and fame...... Blindly attacking and plundering land, expanding territory, and at the same time guarding against being targeted by others and becoming the target of attack, in the process, you must not make too many enemies, so as not to attract other pirates and countries to be afraid and unite to deal with ......"

"This method, not to mention the protracted time, I will inevitably be injured by accidents, for example, this time, we plundered the ship of the Southern Li Kingdom, if we don't take this matter seriously, maybe when we start a war with other pirates, the Southern Li Kingdom will not stab us in the back. ”

Yang Jiabiao said: "Wu Shao, then what should we do?"

Ding Yi said with a smile: "I already have a general direction in my heart, let's go back to Pigpen Island first, don't worry, this meat is in the pot, you can't run, everyone follow me, just eat and drink spicy." ”

On the way back to Pigpen Island, Ding Yi learned in detail about the situation on this side of the mirage, the representatives of various countries, the geographical situation, the strength of the country and various products.

In fact, the countries of the Mirage, to put it bluntly, are the kingdoms established by some Xiuzhen families and their retainers. It's a chaotic place, where cultivators control everything and do whatever they want, and it's basically a family situation.

Through marriage, apprenticeship, or other means, cultivators form settlements, unite with each other or attack each other, forming a relatively stable pattern of chaos and tranquility.

The more Ding Yi knows about this place, the more down-to-earth he becomes, this chaotic place is really too convenient for him to lurk.

Yan Jingfeng and Shi Kai were motivated by interests at first, and felt that Ding Yi had the ability, money, and good brains, so they followed him, and the meeting gift was a gem worth 50,000 gold yuan, which was much stronger than being an errand in the Coast Guard of Southern Li, but with the contact with Ding Yi in the past few days, the two had completely changed their attitude.

The Shenwu Empire has a cultivation academy, which can systematically cultivate the awakened, as long as your qualifications are sufficient, all the exercise facilities are open. Between the Xiuzhen Academy and the various sects, it is generally not a core peerless school, as long as you are at a sufficient level, you can come to communicate and learn. Those who are well-connected, and don't even care much about your level, like Ding Yi, often go in and out of some cultivation sects in the Shenwu Empire. Their scripture pavilion is basically undefended against Ding Yi.

The poor place of the mirage is different, the various empires regard their cultivation secrets as extremely valuable, not to mention communication, if it is not their system, the exercises that are only a few words will not flow out.

Yan Jingfeng and Shi Kai originally had some regrets, thinking that after following Ding Yi, they might lose the opportunity to continue to study the Xiuzhen classics of the Southern Li Kingdom in terms of cultivation. Who knows, Ding Yi just talked with them casually for a while, and pointed out many problems in their cultivation.

This Ding Yi is also very weird, he claims to be a poisonous spirit, but whether it is condensing water balls or fireballs, it is effortless. When he was pointing at Shi Kai, he even showed his alchemy.

casually gave each of the two of them a book of cultivation secrets, and they didn't care at all, just like a family with children, the elders gave the children pocket money and didn't care at all. And the cultivation secrets they got were many times better than the cultivation classics that they could only access after working hard in the Southern Li Kingdom in exchange for fifteen days of study a year.

Ding Yi's guidance to the two of them was also very good, and within a few days of being with Ding Yi, the two of them felt that both their magic and spiritual power had made significant progress.

Now even if someone drives them away with a stick, they won't leave.

The sea voyage was actually quite boring, so Ding Yi simply used this time to guide Yan Jingfeng and Shi Kai to practice, and at the same time gathered all the pirates together and taught them some natural sect tuna exercises, as well as alchemy.

A selfless act like Ding Yi can be said to be unique in the mirage. Originally, these pirates swallowed Ding Yi's 'obedient water', and they were only afraid of Ding Yi, but now they all have some respect for Ding Yi.

The pirates were illiterate, which was not good for Ding Yi's future development, and Ding Yi organized these pirates and began to learn cultural knowledge. This is a hard and fast rule, it can't be discounted, Yan Jingfeng and Shi Kai are watching from the sidelines, if anyone can't learn well, the punishment of the cultivator is very severe.

Learning ten words a day is not very difficult. Yang Jiabiao didn't want to learn at first, but the big cake painted by Ding Yi was so tempting that he really couldn't resist the temptation. Ding Yi said that he would want him to manage a city of more than 100,000 in the future, and Yang Jiabiao also fought hard for this grand goal.

Ding Yi is a puppeteer, he used to be just a technographer, only obsessed with invention and creation, and only interested in those things such as the origin of the universe and the principle of cultivating truth. This time he was forced overseas by Daoyuan, and his thinking has now changed a lot.

In fact, he has undergone a metamorphosis. For example, he did not hesitate to kill the sailors who were hiding behind the sails and were ready to attack him, used deception to make this group of pirates obey him, and used treasures and cultivation secrets to entrap Yan Jingfeng and Shi Kai......

Everything Ding Yi did was actually nothing more than a kind of control, and the core of puppetry was control! It's just that in the past, Ding Yi was dealing with those cold steel and all kinds of building materials, but now the object has become a person.

Without the Truth Society, and Zongxiao's monitoring and restraint, Ding Yi naturally had a lot less scruples when he started to do things.

Eight days later, the two ships returned to Pigpen Island.

Pigpen Island is not big, with a radius of only three or four hundred miles. This is Zhang Bao's lair. There were forty or fifty people living on the island, most of them Zhang Bao and his family, and a few women who had been taken captive.

The people of Pigpen Island are still a little panicked, but in the face of powerful cultivators, there is no second way to go except to express submission and submission.

There are dozens of acres of land on the island, and Ding Yi knows when he looks at those crops that the harvest on this island is not good.

Around Pigpen Island, there are treacherous reefs and whirlpools, and people who are not familiar with the local hydrology and ocean currents are generally unable to enter. It's a good place to be easy to defend and hard to attack. It's just that Pigpen Island is not a small island with rich resources, and it has not been annexed by big pirates, mostly because other people don't look down on this ghost place.

Ding Yi took over here, so naturally it can't be like before. In the past, Zhang Bao's pirate group lived a similar collective life, and under Zhang Bao's iron-fisted methods, the pirates lived a bitter life.

Commerce on this side of the mirage is underdeveloped, and most of the people of the island countries rely on fishing and relatively primitive and backward agriculture for their livelihood. Moreover, the vast majority of islands do not have open-pit mines, and almost all island countries do not have any decent industry.

Pigpen Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the closest to Pigpen Island is Fulong Country, strictly speaking, Pigpen Island is actually in the sea area of Fulong Country.

There is a hill that runs from east to west on Pigpen Island, and Ding Yi took a closer look, the hill is mainly composed of granite and quartz stones, and it is worthless at all. There are some slopes in the north and south, sandy beaches. The fields of Pigpen Island are mainly on the south-facing slopes, and the small cabins where the pirates lived are also concentrated. To the north is desolate, saline land overgrown with weeds.

Ding Yi didn't expect anything from this pigpen island, and everything in front of him didn't matter to him.

However, since he has taken over Pigpen Island, he naturally can't do it like before.

Ding Yi adopts vertical management, replacing the previous flat management of Zhang Bao. Divide the affairs of the entire island into pieces and hand them over to the person nominated by everyone, and that person only needs to be responsible to Ding Yi.

Now that the people on the island are withering and there is no money or food, Ding Yi still lets these people live a collective life for the time being. The management of less than 200 people, in the case of Ding Yi's absolute force, the people on the island can only obediently obey, and Ding Yi has not made unreasonable rules, and only a very small number of people have lost some interests.

After the affairs of the island were basically finalized, Ding Yi took Yan Jingfeng, Shi Kai, and Zhang Bao to cut down many trees on the island.

Ding Yi released the Flying Lynx puppet, which was almost indestructible under the claws of the Olympic titanium steel, and easily cut down hundreds of large trees.

Through this time, Yan Jingfeng and Shi Kai discovered Ding Yi's two qualifications, the wood spirit qualification and the earth spirit qualification. In the forest, Yan Jingfeng saw that Ding Yi was like entering a no-man's land, and those dense shrubs and vines automatically moved away when Ding Yi arrived, forming a path, which was clearly the use of wood spirit qualifications.

When he arrived at the camp, Ding Yi put his hands on the ground and shouted, and the sloping ground made of sand and gravel immediately cracked, revealing a ravine more than half a meter deep......

In fact, these are just very simple techniques, the key is that the requirements for qualification and spiritual power are not high, and Ding Yi can only do it by transferring flowers and trees, building a house and laying a foundation. However, in the eyes of Yan Jingfeng and Shi Kai, this is naturally different. The two of them were even more in awe of Ding Yi.

On this pigpen island, there are at least a lot of trees. However, these woods are ordinary wood, and they can only be used to build houses, and if they are used to make sea boats, they are not enough. Except for some of these trees, which were used to build houses, the rest of the timber was intended to build a dock.

Since he wants to create a career here, he may stay here for a long time, of course Ding Yi wants to make a decent house for himself.

Ding Yi has arranged the affairs on the island, and Ding Yi is not ready to stay on the island.

He left a drawing of the shipyard construction, explained it to Shi Kai, and then taught Shi Kai how to use a universal puppet.

No way, who called these pirates mostly some slayers, and there were no craftsmen in them. Shi Kai and Yang Jiabiao were left on the island, and he took Yan Jingfeng, Zhang Bao, and Su Chen (the clerk of the Coast Guard) to leave Pigpen Island on the Vespa and go to Fulong Kingdom.

Shi Kai and Yang Jiabiao both wanted to follow, but Shi Kai was now responsible for building the dock, and secondly, the eyebrows of this cargo had not grown, and it would inevitably attract attention when they were taken out. Ding Yi is now in dormancy, and even if he hasn't heard anyone from the Shenwu Empire appear in this sea area, Ding Yi is still very low-key. As for Yang Jiabiao, Ding Yi stipulated that he was not allowed to leave the island until he had learned 500 big characters.

As a puppeteer, I don't even have a piece of cast iron on hand, which is too much to say. To make a puppet, you need too many cultivation materials and spirit stones. In addition to some precious gems, Ding Yi only had some collection of Xiuzhen books. He didn't even have a single gold dollar in hand, and Yan Jingfeng only had twenty or thirty gold dollars in hand.

If you want to mix well in this sea, you must at least have money. Simply doing pirate robbery, in this sea area, is actually not a very easy task. Like Zhang Bao, they almost didn't encounter any ships when they went out this time.

Ding Yi was not ready to sell his gems, and when he learned about the state of cultivation on this side of the mirage, the cultivation secret technique was extremely precious, and Ding Yi thought of a way. Selling books, to be precise, selling the secrets of repair.

Of course, Ding Yi will not sell his collection, what he wants to sell is the cultivation books he has read. Most cultivators have excellent memories and are very ordinary. Ding Yi has read not a thousand of the secret books for cultivating the truth in the past two years, but at least 800. He is a broken spirit qualification, and he is not taboo in meat and vegetarianism, even Ding Yi has seen several versions of Yin Yang Technique and Fang Zhongshu Technique.

Zhang Bao is a native of Fulong Country, if he mixes well in Fulong Country, he will not run to Pigpen Island, where birds don't, and become a pirate. Zhang Bao was originally just a farmer in Fulong Kingdom, and there were still a few acres of thin fields at home, but because of their piece, they were taken by a cultivator, and they wanted to change it into a hunting ground, so Zhang Bao had no work, and finally had to flee to the sea and become a pirate.

The area of Fulong is not large, with more than 200,000 square kilometers. The population is almost more than 10 million, and there are more than 30 cultivators in the whole country, except for more than a dozen monks from the royal family of the Fulong Kingdom, the others are scattered cultivators.

Zhang Bao was only a mortal, he was not familiar with these upper class figures, he was only familiar with those slave traders, merchants who smuggled and bought stolen goods. However, he is very familiar with the brothels and green buildings in Fulong Kingdom.

Zhang Bao is familiar with driving the Vespa to a fishing village, where Zhang Bao's eyeliner is here. The intelligence of Fulong Country was mainly collected by Cai Ge and his wife, the only innkeepers in this fishing village, and at the same time, Cai Ge and his wife also helped Zhang Bao contact the buyer and transfer the stolen goods.

Ding Yi and the others came to Fulong Country this time in the nature of smuggling. Of course, it's okay to go through the normal procedure, but Ding Yi and Yan Jingfeng are both cultivators, which will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Brother Cai and his wife looked like the kind of eight-sided exquisite characters, and when they learned that Zhang Bao had now taken refuge in these two cultivators, they were also very stammering with Ding Yi and Yan Jingfeng.

"Brother Cai, I often hear Zhang Bao mention your husband and wife, saying that you are all righteous and moral heroes, Zhang Bao is with me now, how he used to treat you, I don't know, but under my hands, money and food are worry-free, you just have to do things for me with peace of mind, and your benefits are indispensable. Ding Yi drew the pie again, which is also something that can't be helped.

The identities of Ding Yi and Yan Jingfeng's cultivators were there, and Brother Cai and his wife didn't dare to think differently. The two hurriedly wanted to kneel down to show their loyalty, but Ding Yi raised his small hand and released a stream of air, preventing the two from kneeling.

Yan Jingfeng's eyes lit up again.

This Wu Shao still has qi spirit qualifications! Yan Jingfeng secretly smacked his tongue, this is from the Tianjing Continent Wu Shao, how many peerless exercises does he have, and how many cultivation qualifications does he have?

When he was at sea, in order to lurk, Ding Yi assumed the pseudonym Wu Tao, claiming to be from the Tianjing Continent, so Yan Jingfeng didn't know that in fact, Ding Yi was a cultivator from the Demon Kingdom (Shenwu Empire).

Ding Yi smiled at Yan Jingfeng, turned his head and said to Brother Cai and his wife: "We are here this time, in addition to purchasing various materials, we also have to contact the cultivators here, I don't need you to thread the needle for me, you just need to collect as much as possible some information about other cultivators other than the royal family of the Fulong Kingdom." ”

Brother Cai and his wife hurriedly agreed.

Ding Yi and Yan Jingfeng stayed in the fishing village for five days, and almost spent all of Yan Jingfeng's gold yuan, Yan Jingfeng was a little curious, Ding Yi bought some clothes, shoes and socks, pen, ink and paper, needles and threads, because iron tools were controlled, only a small number of pots and pans were bought.

Five days later, Brother Cai and Su Chen came back and brought all kinds of information they had collected, Brother Cai was illiterate, Ding Yi asked Su Chen to go with him, just for fear of missing something.

Ding Yi glanced at ten lines, and quickly read this information.

Most of the information collected by Brother Cai and Su Chen was the comments of mortals on the cultivators, and many of them were myths, exaggerated, and untrue. Moreover, this information was incomplete, they only collected the information of a dozen or so cultivators. But this is enough for Ding Yi.

In fact, with Ding Yi's strength, as long as it is not at the Xuan level, he can generally deal with it, and the reason why it takes so much effort is because Ding Yi does not want to expose his strength.

After reading the information, Ding Yi closed his eyes slightly. After a while, he opened his eyes, turned his head and asked Zhang Baodao, "What is the name of the cultivator who caused you to leave your hometown?"

Zhang Baodao: "His name is Zou Ming. ”

Ding Yi nodded and said to Yan Jingfeng: "Okay, I'll look for him first." ”
