Chapter 377: Covetous
The six clippers, all of which belong to Fubon Shipping, are mostly sailors recruited from the vicinity of Yanji. To be honest, those who dare to run a boat this year are not ordinarily brave, but there will be brave men under the heavy reward. Fubon gave a lot of money, and this is a new type of sailboat, which is super fast, several times the speed of ordinary ships, which greatly increases the confidence of many sailors who come to apply.
The pilots of the six clippers are all from Pigpen Island, as are the first and second officers, and these pirates have been practicing how to drive this new type of clipper for the past few months.
This recently emerged Fubon industry, very weird, first launched copper stoves, copper lamps and other popular products across the country, unexpectedly, it quietly entered the sea.
In the shipping industry, it is not easy to mix. Not to mention mirages, every year there is a lot of fog in April and May, and in June, July and August, there are often big typhoons. Pirates on the islands alone are a headache.
The countries of the mirage are not very harmonious with each other, and it is inevitable that the navies of these countries will also secretly play a black hand......
In short, shipping is too risky, not a last resort, not dozens of times, hundreds of times the profit, most people will not choose shipping.
This time, Fubon not only devoted themselves to shipping, they built six sea vessels, but also took out loans to buy a large number of goods, and it is rare that this time the Ministry of Commerce endorsed them.
Although this Fubon Shipping, six ships, all of which add up to hundreds of people, seems to be overwhelming, most people are not optimistic about this new shipping company.
This Fubon shipping, in the eyes of many old seafarers, can be said to have made countless mistakes, and many of them are contrary to common sense. Seeing such a team, slowly driving out of Yanji, most people were worried about this fleet.
It's the end of March, and it's about to enter the foggy season in a blink of an eye, even if this time, if you don't encounter foggy weather when you go out, maybe when you return, you will encounter that fog. Besides, this Fubon shipping veteran was not invited, and he didn't even worship God before sailing. In the eyes of many people, they are asking for their own death.
But if these people seek their own death, who can stop them?
In fact, Ding Yi should have set off again in half a year, but the main reason why he had to take the risk was that they had no iron ore raw materials at hand.
Fubon is a copper mine, and its associated mine, apart from lead, has only a small amount of gold. And the iron ore, which was originally not very valuable, did not have such a mineral in Fulong Country.
Because of time, Ding Yi was not ready to go far this time, he listened to Yan Jingfeng's suggestion and went to Hongshi Country this time. The Red Rock Kingdom also belongs to the Western Sea States of the Mirage. The Red Rock Country is an island country smaller than the Fulong Kingdom, with a total area of just over 40,000 square kilometers. This island country has a volcano that erupts every now and then, and this island country is rich in mineral resources.
This island country is a country composed of powerful beast tamers, although this country is small, but seventeen or eighteen animal tamer cultivators and their partners, this kind of force, so that most countries, against this redstone country, suppressed their ambitions.
Iron ore is not the main specialty of this country, the country is rich in spirit stones and silver. Ding Yi is ready to exchange some of these properties.
Ding Yi and the others determined their goal, and then they headed for the Red Rock Country, theoretically they were just able to go back and forth before the fog season arrived. Ding Yi's fast boat is actually faster than ordinary sailboats, which can save them time, so as soon as Yan Jingfeng proposed the plan, Ding Yi basically agreed without much consideration.
Most of the newly recruited sailors are a little worried, this Fubon shipping is very unprofessional, and going to sea at this time makes them feel anxious about the newcomers on board.
However, as the convener of this voyage, Ding Yi and his disciples were very relaxed. At the moment, they were having dinner on the Snow Dragon. Zhang Chi has recently become obsessed with medicinal food, and is currently making his improved sea and land eight fresh foods for everyone.
In the past few months, Zhang Chi's alchemy and alchemy skills have improved greatly. The main thing is that Ding Yi taught him how to use the new Dan furnace designed and made by Ding Yi, with this Dan furnace with controllable temperature and heat, naturally his alchemy technology has improved a lot. What's more, Ding Yi also passed on a Dan book to him, which is nearly 500 kinds of Dan prescriptions that have long been lost on this side of the mirage. How could this not make him ecstatic.
This time to go to sea, it was all dispatched, Zhang Chi had done his homework in advance, prepared the ingredients, and wanted to show his face in front of Ding Yi and them.
There are new flavors and surprises every day, Zhang Chi does not go to alchemy for a while, but spends a lot of time practicing cooking, this is because he obviously feels that Ding Yi has lost his appetite recently and eats very little every day.
Ding Yi has been obviously a little anxious recently, and he has a premonition of danger, which forces him to change his mind, and he can't stay in one place for too long. And in general, he tries to let his disciples do it.
This is the second day of this trip, and if nothing else, it will be possible to reach Redstone tomorrow, mainly because the new clippers are several times faster than the old sailboats. Otherwise, you won't be able to reach the Redstone Country in three days.
"Don't you want to eat some more?" Zhang Chi was obviously discouraged by Ding Yi.
"Somehow, I haven't had an appetite lately. Ding Yi didn't want to spoil everyone's interest, but this premonition has become stronger and stronger in the past few days, making it difficult for him to sleep.
Ding Yi climbed onto the mast of the Snow Dragon, the sail of the Snow Dragon was just a decoration in this windless season, and the main driving of the ship was the huge thrust formed by the high-speed rotation of the propeller driven by the formation.
"Master Wu!" Zhou Xin said hello to Ding Yi and sat next to Ding Yi.
"Not with Wang Zhou?" Ding Yi asked casually.
"It should be in the next few days, he should be able to advance to the ......," Zhou Xindao.
Ding Yi nodded, he had the impression that he and Zhou Xin had almost no chance to talk alone, Zhou Xin was wary of him, this person was more urban, unlike Wang Guan, who would say anything he wanted.
Zhou Xin's successful promotion half a month ago made his attitude towards Ding Yi change a little, but this is the first time to take the initiative to talk to Ding Yi like today.
"Master Wu, you seem to be very anxious, what are you worried about?" Zhou Xin asked.
Ding Yi can't tell him his life experience, it's not that he doesn't trust his disciples, but it's unnecessary.
Ding Yi's strength has nothing to say, he easily beat Qiao Hu and snatched Qiao Hu's broken sword, Zhou Xinke saw it in his eyes, and besides, the old man of his family would not tell lies in front of him. It is said that Ding Yi should be a Xuan-level cultivator, but he has never shown his spiritual wings in front of his disciples. His flight is achieved with the help of a flight cap.
What level Ding Yi belongs to, until now, is still a mystery. Yan Jingfeng and they were divided by strength, thinking that Ding Yi should belong to the Xuan level, but Zhou Xin thought that Ding Yi's real level should still be the feather level.
The reason why Ding Yi was able to easily defeat the spirit-level master was that, as Ding Yi himself said, he must have an amazing magic weapon in his hand, a big killing weapon that was enough to change the normal order.
Zhou Xin kept a distance from Ding Yi on the surface, but he recorded all the things about Ding Yi very carefully. He has carefully studied all the times Ding Yi has shots, the supernatural skills used for each shot, and the damage suffered by the opponent, and Ding Yi has shown every talent and talent, and Zhou Xin has recorded it.
Although Ding Yi is familiar with many secret techniques of cultivation, such as a few family treasures, he is not only very familiar with the operation of those qualifications and supernatural powers, but he can also give targeted guidance to different monks.
Ding Yi also often wrote down some secret tips for cultivating the truth, which he saw with his own eyes, but this does not mean anything, this should only show that Ding Yi is erudite and well-informed, and he is a cultivator from a large place.
It is known that this Wu Tao has an indestructible flying lynx puppet in his hands, and this puppet has appeared several times. In addition, Ding Yi should also have mastered some mysterious skills that he has no way of knowing now.
Zhou Xin didn't believe that there would be a gap between himself and Ding Yi by two big steps, and the actual age of the two was one or two years older than Ding Yi. Zhou Xin didn't think that a genius like himself would be so far behind Ding Yi.
If Ding Yi really belongs to that kind of genius, a character like him, no matter what country he is in, is definitely the focus of the protection of the Xiuzhen sect in every country. He will not be left adrift.
And Ding Yi has obviously been worried about something recently, according to Zhou Xin's understanding, it is very likely that this Wu Tao should be a cultivator in a super sect in a certain continent. By some coincidence, he stole the supreme treasure and fled overseas......
Zhou Xin doubted his judgment more and more, he didn't have a good impression of Ding Yi, and he didn't have any malice.
Ding Yi's 'dragon slayer' statement is honestly very demagogic, but Zhou Xin doesn't believe it very much.
This young man who fled into the mirage alone was undoubtedly the most mysterious cultivator Zhou Xin had ever seen.
Zhou Xin is the best among all Ding Yi's disciples, but Zhou Xin's talent can't get into Ding Yi's eyes, and the qualifications of many brothers and sisters in Xuanzang Academy are better than this Zhou Xin, as for the geniuses of Meng Tianci, Yuan Zhen, Xie Fei, and Long Yan, they threw Zhou Xin off a few roads.
Ding Yi hadn't realized that his tall foot was actually coveting his treasure, and Ding Yi was still very concerned about Zhou Xin's cultivation status. After all, he has only advanced, and his strength still needs to be consolidated.
"Master Wu, have you ever thought about returning to the Heavenly Crystal Continent?" Zhou Xin asked tentatively.
"It's my dream to return to the Tianjing Continent, but obviously it's not the time to go back, you must know that this is also my trial ......" Ding Yi diverted the topic.
Zhou Xin obviously felt that Ding Yi was unwilling to continue to talk about this topic in depth. Zhou Xin trusted his judgment even more.
Ding Yi's understanding of the Tianjing Continent is actually very limited, you must know that the changes of many overseas dynasties are very frequent, and the Tianjing Continent is in the "Xiaoyaolu" written by the crane real person, only slightly, one or two hundred years ago, the Tianjing Continent was a situation of continuous war, as for now, the ghost knows what the situation is.
Although Ding Yi can talk nonsense, after all, he has been to many places, and he can completely put on his crown and Li Dai, but no matter how he says, Zhou Xin is his own disciple, and Ding Yi doesn't want to deceive him very much.
Ascending high and looking into the distance, he originally wanted to make his mood feel more comfortable, but it turned out to make him feel a little unhappy, Ding Yi stood up and prepared to go down, at this moment, he saw several black dots in the distance flying towards this side rapidly.
After all, Ding Yi has the qualification of eye spirit, although it is still not a close distance, but Ding Yi can still see clearly, this is clearly a strong female monk, who is chasing and killing three male cultivators who are fleeing in a hurry.
Ding Yi quickly made a judgment, those three cultivators who fled for their lives in a panic should be the monks of the Red Rock Kingdom, they are really too easy to judge, because the three of them have flying pets.
As for where the female monk who chased and killed these three people was from, Ding Yi still had no way of knowing, and he did not rule out the possibility of coming from the Shenwu Empire.
Ding Yi called Yan Jingfeng up as soon as he was on the mast. After all, Yan Jingfeng had some understanding of the cultivators on this side of the mirage, and soon the identities of the three cultivators who fled for their lives came out.
"That's the king, national teacher, and generalissimo of the Red Rock Country!" Yan Jingfeng didn't have such good eyesight as Ding Yi, Ding Yi described the three people he saw and their riding pets to Yan Jingfeng, and Yan Jingfeng quickly deduced the identities of these three cultivators.
The three most powerful and highest-ranking in the Red Rock Country were chased by a female cultivator like a lost dog, which is really strange enough.
Ding Yi described the woman's appearance, but Yan Jingfeng was not impressed, which made Ding Yi's heart sink again.
Whether this female cultivator responded to the call of the Dao Source and searched for Ding Yi all over the world, no one can say.
These three male cultivators of the Red Stone Kingdom have good strength, they should all be monks of the high spiritual level, and that female cultivator is very likely to be a master above the Xuan level, is she a person from the Shenwu Empire? Ding Yi was a little unsure.
