Volume 2 Chapter 108 to seize Spirit Island
"Look, there are so many islands!"
"The island is very quiet and uninhabited. It seems that Brother Ye was the first city lord to arrive in this Aolai Islands!"
"We can pick any spirit island and build our own immortal village!
On the deck of the pirate ship, everyone stood excitedly on the side of the ship, looking at a group of islands in the distance.
On the turquoise sea, the spirit islands are verdant and verdant, shrouded in a thin sea mist, looming.
The pirate ship sped up.
Ye Mo looked at the island in front of him, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.
In terms of voyage, Qingyun Main Immortal City is the closest main immortal city to the Aolai Islands, and the one coming from Donglai Immortal Village should be shorter than the voyage of Qingyun Main Immortal City.
The remaining nine new city lords of Qingyun Immortal Academy were all children of the Qingyun Immortal City, and they needed to bring some supplies from Qingyun Immortal City to come by sea boat.
In other words, he should be the first new city lord to arrive here.
"Chang Fei, anyway, we came early, let's take a little time to pick a good spirit island and go around this archipelago!"
Ye Mo said in high spirits.
"Yes, Castle Lord!"
Chang Feidao ordered the sailors on the ship to turn around and start sailing around the archipelago.
This archipelago is too large, there are as many as a thousand small spirit islands, with a radius of tens of thousands of miles. Even if it takes months or a year, you won't be able to see all the islands.
Ye Mo naturally couldn't take such a long time to pick the island, and in a short time, other new city lords would also come and seize Spirit Island.
Ye Mo spent seven or eight days of effort, taking a cursory look at the dozens of large and small islands in the sea area of thousands of miles, and selected the best island.
Lingmu is the first resource needed to build an immortal village, not to mention the Lingmu city wall, alchemy and refining tools need a lot of consumption, and even the residents of the island need a lot of wood to make pots and cook on weekdays. Moreover, the growth cycle of spiritual wood is very slow and long, and it can only grow up for decades or hundreds of years.
The island does not have a large number of trees, so it is not suitable for building a village.
As for resources such as spirit mineral deposits, they can't be found in a while. Even if you dig everywhere for months or years, you may not be able to find it, which is something that is hard to find.
Ye Mo chose the main island, and the preferred resource was the spirit wood. Then there is the need for a large area of land on the island, which will be reclaimed as spiritual land in the future and supplied to the villagers of Xiancun.
He and the others took a boat to an island with the best resources of spiritual wood.
"The island in front of me is very big, it looks very good, and the forests and trees on the island are much more lush than on other islands!"
Ye Mo suddenly felt good, this island looked suitable for building an immortal village.
"Chang Fei, go around the island, and then find a suitable place to moor!"
Ye Mo instructed Chang Fei beside him.
"Yes, my subordinates understand!"
Chang Fei's face showed excitement, and he also had a preliminary judgment that this island was very suitable.
The pirate ship made a big circle around the outer ten miles of this island, and saw the whole island.
Everyone watched the island from the deck.
"City Lord, this island is more than 50 miles long from north to south and more than 40 miles wide from east to west. There are several mountain peaks on the island, there are many spiritual trees, and there is a flat land of twenty or thirty miles in the middle of the island, which is very suitable for reclamation as a spiritual field, and the villagers can cultivate it in the future. There is a natural deep-water port suitable for shipbuilding docks and docks. This island is probably the best of the dozens we've seen!"
Chang Fei synthesized everyone's observations and reported to Ye Moyu.
"Okay, choose a suitable place, the ship docks!"
Although Ye Mo's expression was calm, his voice still revealed excitement.
The ship sails to a natural deep-water port, stops the ship directly to the shore, and erects wooden planks several feet long so that people can go ashore directly.
"The area around this port is too flat to be defended! If you build a village in the early days, you can't build it near the port, so let's gain a firm foothold in the future and extend the fairy village here!"
Ye Mo looked at the terrain around the port, revealing a little regret.
This area is relatively flat, suitable for the establishment of a fairy village, like the Donglai Immortal Village, which is built directly near the port.
However, he came to open up the wasteland, and in order to deal with the unknown tide of sea beasts, the initial stronghold naturally could not establish a flat and unsafe place to defend.
"I, Ye Mo, hereby announce that this island is named Ye Clan Spirit Island! Everyone obeys the order, prepares to land on the island, and builds the fairy village!"
Ye Mo stood on top of the sea ship and said loudly.
Time was of the essence, and it took him two months to reach this place, while the other city lords would arrive in the Aolai Sea in three months. He needed to build the Spirit Island Immortal Village before a large number of other new city lords arrived, so as to gain a first-mover competitive advantage.
"Let's go!"
"Go to the island and build a village!"
There was a cheer from the crowd on the boat.
That night, except for a small number of sailors who stayed on the ship. Ye Mo took all the rest of his subordinates and lived on the island.
Ye Mo's subordinates were quite complicated, and all the monks plus the martial artists totaled more than a hundred people.
Ye Mo, Mo Ling, Wang Hu, Yang You and others, plus Lin Fei and his more than ten followers, Gao Yan and his group of more than ten people, are people from all over the Kyushu Continent who come to seek immortals.
The rest were dozens of captured warriors who had been deceived by Feng Xiongchang, as well as Chang Fei, dozens of sailors, and more than a dozen old pirates on the ship.
This is all of Ye Mo's team, which is insignificant compared to the other nine family children of Qingyun Immortal Academy who have family support.
Ye Mo was already very satisfied.
He even planned to train all these people into monks, and then use them as the backbone to establish his own immortal village.
Of course, this plan also took a long time to implement.
Everyone was busy on the island for a day, drawing out the topographic map of the entire Ye Spirit Island.
Ye Mo summoned Lin Fei, Chang Fei, and Gao Yan, who relied on him the most, and gathered them in front of the rough topographic map to discuss the location of Jianxian Village.
Eventually, Ye Mo drew a circle on the map.
"Here, build an inner city!"
Ye Mo said in a deep voice, "This is the junction of flat land and mountains and forests, which can be attacked and defended. ”
"The valley is two miles in circumference, with a waterhole formed by an underground spring, and is home to the only mountain stream on the island. Staying in this place, we will not be short of water. ”
"Of course, as a real fairy village, this valley is still too small and a little cramped. However, this is only our original inner city. When we have a solid inner city, we will build an outer city outward, and continue to expand and extend in the direction of a deep-water port. The valley is the safest place in the inner city. ”
There was no objection to it.
Where to build an immortal village on the island, they had already discussed a lot, just waiting for Ye Mo to make a decision.
As for how to build a fairy village, it's even simpler.
Just follow the design drawings of Xiancun.
Ye Mo assigned work to everyone, and the most important thing was to cut down the spirit wood.
What was built this time was not the kind of temporary camp that was more than ten zhang in size like before.
It is a real immortal village, covering an area of several miles, and the number of spirit trees required is extremely large. The vast majority of the monks and most of the warriors were arranged to do this.
Mo Ling selected a few people to collect wild spirit grass on the island, and measured the number of suitable spirit fields on the island to prepare for large-scale reclamation in the future.
She specialized in cultivating spiritual fields in the Immortal Academy, and became a leader in this area.
Lin Fei also took several of his entourage and searched around the Spirit Island to find suitable poison spirit grass in preparation for the construction of a poison workshop.
On Ye's Spirit Island, the monks and warriors began to cut down the spirit wood, and began to build the walls of the immortal village, as well as the city lord's mansion and housing.
Wang Hu and Yang You are responsible for supervising the construction of the entire fairy village.
Gao gradually formed the first guard of the Ye Clan's Immortal Village and began to protect the safety of the Immortal Village.
More than ten days later, the walls of Ye's Immortal Village had not yet been completed, but a simple city lord's mansion had been built.
In the hall, the core members of the Immortal Village gathered.
"The island is full of aura and there are many places to grow it. It is mainly distributed in three gentle areas in the center of the island, and if all of them are reclaimed, the number of spiritual fields will exceed 10,000 hectares!
One acre of spiritual land produces thirty catties of spiritual valley a year, and the selling price of one catty of spiritual valley is a piece of spiritual stone, and here is the wealth of thirty spiritual stones. Ten thousand acres of spiritual field, but it can be big.
In addition, other hilly places have poor soil quality, which is not suitable for planting Linggu. However, if you grow elixir, it shouldn't be a problem. ”
Mo Ling drew three large circles on the map of Ye's Spirit Island, and made a lot of marks sporadically in other places, and his expression was very excited.
The abundance of spiritual fields meant that enough spiritual valleys could be planted here to support a large number of monks and ordinary warriors.
"Cultivating the spiritual field is extremely manpower-intensive, and it requires a large number of Qi cultivation period monks who know the spiritual rain technique, and a Qi cultivation period monk can take care of one or twenty acres of spiritual land at most. The harvest can only be harvested after a year, which means that up to a year of light input and no output.
With our current manpower, how many acres of land can we cultivate, and can our financial resources survive until a year later?
I need a stable environment even more, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be implemented in the short term, and if a wave of demon beasts breaks out, it will destroy all the spiritual fields outside the village!
We don't have a lot of manpower, so we can't use it for that. ”
Lin Fei struck mercilessly.
"That's for the long haul too!"
Mo Ling glared at him very unabashedly, wanting to refute.
"Lin Fei is right! Now the main thing is to build an immortal village and improve the defense. Lingtian is outside the village, and there is a lack of manpower to protect it. The matter of reclaiming the spiritual field can only wait for the immortal village to stabilize and then start slowly.
The matter of reclamation cannot be rushed, after the stability of the immortal village, it will attract more monks and warriors, and the spiritual field on the island will definitely be reclaimed, there is no doubt about it!
Mo Ling, your recent mission is to collect as many elixirs as you can on the island, especially seeds. This wild island is sure to find some good elixirs. Then, in this valley immortal village, five hundred acres of spiritual fields were first set aside to be used to plant elixirs and spiritual valleys in the future. The elixir is precious and can only be planted in the village.
Lin Owl, your poisonous herb, is also planted in the Immortal Village. This land is not much, and dozens of acres should be enough for the time being. ”
Ye Mo waved his hand to stop the dispute, and after a few words of relief, he commanded.
This valley is not large, only two miles in size, with a total of 1,500 acres of land. Dividing 500 acres of spiritual land from it will occupy one-third of the territory. Other buildings, streets, commercial pavilions, alchemy workshops, and houses inhabited by monks and warriors will definitely be reduced to a reduced number.
During the Qi cultivation period, the monks were paid a high level in Xiancun, and the residences were all single-family attics, which consumed a lot of land.
Lin Fei wanted to speak and stopped.
However, he also knew that the only place on the island that could ensure safety was this valley, and Mo Ling couldn't be allowed to grow elixirs outside. Moreover, his poison pill workshop also needs to grow poisonous spirit herbs, which are also planted in the village.
When the scale of the immortal village expands and the outer city outside the valley is built, the land of the Ye family's immortal village will be abundant.
"Okay, I will determine the location of Lingtian as soon as possible, and it will not affect the planning of Xiancun. ”
Mo Ling laughed contentedly, and even glared at Lin Fei defiantly.
