"Come on, my boat owner agrees to take you out to sea. ︽"

The crew beckoned.

"Thank you!"

Ye Fan got on the small sea boat and bowed to the dark-faced crew member on the ship armor and thanked him.

He looked at the small sea ship, with a flag flying on the mast of the sea ship with words such as "Wanbao Chamber of Commerce" written on it.

The sea ships are divided into two floors, with only one ship owner's room on the upper deck, and the lower level is the cabin room for the miners and warriors to live in.

The sailors were full of ships, and the sailors quickly drove the boat, left Donglai Port, and gradually headed towards the sea.

In the boat owner's room on the deck, an old man with a blue bearded man in a light blue cloth shirt pushed open the room door, moved slightly, and appeared on the deck, looking at Ye Fan who had just gotten on the boat expressionlessly.

But Ye Fan was wearing an ordinary white shirt, and he couldn't tell anything about it.

"Can the ship owner put tea on the deck?"

"The room is stuffy and just resting on this deck and having a breath of wind!"

Immediately, two crew members ran over, put a seat and a tea seat on the deck of the sea boat, and made tea attentively. Drinking tea in the sea breeze on the deck of the sea boat was quite comfortable.

"What floor are you in the Warrior Stage? My Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has a mine on the sea. This time I took thirty warriors to the island to mine, but one person was unable to come due to illness, and one person was missing.

The risk at sea is high, so going out to sea is nothing more than making money. The income from mining in the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is quite abundant. According to the cultivation level of the warrior period, it can be as high as hundreds or thousands of taels per month, which is twice as much as you earn in Donglai City.

If a warrior wants to go out to the sea, it will not work without a few hundred taels of silver. If you are willing to go to my mine to mine, I will be exempted from this ship fee!"

The old man in the green beard sat down on the seat and said lightly.

Ye Fan looked at the old man with green beard. The old man with green beard had a blue-black face and frowned, looking worried.

"I am Wu Zun, and I don't lack money."

Ye Fan said calmly.

"Martial Master?"

The old man in the green beard was stunned, his face suddenly calmed down a lot, and he said to the two crew members, "I'm lazy, I'll show you the seat!"

The two crew members had a little awe in their eyes, and quickly brought a seat for Ye Fan and brewed tea.

"Zheng Zhen'an, the president of the Wubao Chamber of Commerce, said it was a chamber of commerce, but in fact it was just a small merchant in Donglai City. There were only a dozen sea boats and operated a few small mines under his command to earn some hard money."

The old man Qingfeng laughed at himself a little, then turned to Ye Fan and asked, "I don't know what you are going to sea. Let's see if I can help."

"Ye Fan is nothing else, he just wants to go out to sea to hunt a few sea beasts and earn some Yuan stones. If President Zheng is convenient, can I take me a ride and I will get off the boat on the island along the way?"

Ye Fan smiled faintly and said half truth and half hypothesis.

Naturally, he would not say that going to sea is actually just to facilitate the practice of blood-type combat skills.

As we all know, the East China Sea is not safer than the land of Donglai County, and the level of danger is far more than a hundred times higher than that of the land. Very few martial masters would consider practicing at sea, and they usually only stay in the city or practice on land, and most of them go out to sea to earn Yuanshi.

But he was just the opposite. If he wrote a few "low-level inferior" runes in the city just to earn Yuanshi, and it would be enough to exchange for a little money. Anyway, he was still called "runelephant apprentice". Writing a few "low-level inferior" runes to earn a few little money is also a legitimate profession, and others would not be suspicious.

He went out to sea to find sea beasts, but he was not a Yuanshi, but was simply convenient for practicing blood-type combat skills and blood-type practice techniques. Only there were enough sea beast groups in the East China Sea to provide him with a abundant source of qi and blood.

"You plan to go out to sea to hunt sea beasts with your own strength?"

President Zheng Zhen'an was surprised and shook his head and said, "Brother Ye, it's not that I'm looking down on you. It's difficult for a martial master to kill sea beasts on the sea. I won't tell you if you have the ability to kill sea beasts.

Even if you can hurt them, once this sea beast is injured, it will run away, and they will sink into the sea. With the strength of you and I, Wu Zun, you don’t have the ability of the Martial Marquis to go to heaven and into the sea, so I am afraid that you can only stare at them and watch them escape!”

"It depends on luck."

Ye Fan smiled without explaining too much.

His purpose is not to kill sea beasts, and it doesn't matter whether they can escape. As long as they can fight sea beasts, he can borrow their qi and blood for use.

Zheng Zhen'an thought for a moment and advised: "Our boat is going to the 'Phu Ji Islands'. This island has hundreds of islands of different sizes, and many of them produce minerals.

One of the islands produces blue water sea sand, which is the material for refining water-based mysterious tools. This island is the industry of my Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

However, sea beasts often appear around the islands, and the guard power of the Wu Zun State realm in the mine is very insufficient, which makes me feel a headache. If you ask a guard at the first level of the Wu Zun State, you will have to spend at least two Yuan stones every month.

The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has been a little struggling in recent years, and they save as much as possible. They dare not hire Wu Zun to station on the mining island. Now there are only three Wu Zuns on this island in total.

Since Brother Ye is going to go out to sea to hunt sea beasts, why don’t you just go to my island and I will give you a Yuan stone for a month. You have a place to hunt sea beasts with peace of mind, and my mine island is also more peaceful, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Is it convenient to hunt sea beasts on your island? The crowded island will not be hurt by accident."

Ye Fan hesitated for a moment.

"Don't worry, this is my Wanbao Chamber of Commerce island, you can do whatever you want. And everyone on this mine is in mine caves and mines and will not run out to avoid being attacked by sea beasts. You can hunt sea beasts around the island and do whatever you want."

Zheng Zhenan laughed.

"Okay, I can't take your boat in vain. I'll go to your mine island to clear the sea beasts around the island. If you pay me a piece of Yuan stone a month, it's a win. However, if there are no sea beasts around the island, I'll still leave at that time."

Ye Fan thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, brothers are happy!"

Zheng Zhenan laughed and agreed.

It is very cost-effective to ask a Wu Zun to be a guard of the mine island for a month. In the entire Donglai County, I am afraid that I can't hire any other Wu Zun who are willing to do it.

The small sea boat raised its sails on the sea and walked for nearly four or five hours, about three or four hundred miles of sea journey.

Near the sea, there were almost no sea beasts.

However, dozens of miles away from the Donglai coast, you can see sea beasts appearing from time to time in the sea.

The air in the cabin room on the lower level was stuffy, and dozens of warriors were squeezed. Ye Fan didn't want to stay inside, so he simply stayed on the deck to get some air.

He and Zheng Zhen'an are the only two martial masters on this small sea boat, so they guarded the deck together to protect the safety of the sea boat.

Fortunately, no sea beasts attacked the ship.

At sunset, Ye Fan stood on the deck of the sea boat and gradually saw a group of islands in the distance. Some of the islands could still see blue smoke, and it was obvious that there were miners making fires and cooking.

"That piece is the Bougainvillea Island! The blue water sand mine occupied by my Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is on the edge of the archipelago. It is estimated that it will arrive in a while."

Zheng Zhen'an's face was a little deep, and he looked at the archipelago in the distance with his hands behind his back, and said with a hint of vague sadness.

"oh!"

Ye Fan thought something.

President Zheng said that he only had one island, but some other islands were still crowded. If what was expected was good, then there should be other chambers of commerce. There are not only the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce that mines and mines various sand and gravel on this Bouji Islands.

"Does there be many mining islands in this Phuket Island?"

Ye Fan asked a little strangely.

"Not much!"

Zheng Zhen'an shook his head and said, "This Bouji Island is a small island closest to Donglai County. It was originally the industry of the "Tianyi Pavilion" Chamber of Commerce, and Tianyi Pavilion is the industry of the Donglai County Government. It is the largest chamber of commerce in the entire county. The Tianyi Pavilion Chamber of Commerce has been operating in this archipelago for thousands of years and has lighting up all the rich mines.

The rest were small mines and half-waste mines. Tianyi Pavilion was too lazy to dig any more, so it sold the Buji Islands to five small chambers of commerce, and paid half of the ore they earned every year. My Wanbao Chamber of commerce is one of them, including the Qionghai Gang, Wudao Society, Jinhuafang, and Huoyun Pavilion in Donglai City. The five families were evenly divided, each accounting for 20% of the islands."

"The five companies are evenly divided. In that case, President Zheng should have dozens of islands. Even if it is not all mine islands, it will not be too few! Why is there only one island left?"

Ye Fan asked.

"When the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce was at its peak, it was indeed holding dozens of islands!"

Zheng Zhenan smiled bitterly: "But that happened a hundred years ago. My Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has been making losses for many years and has not made enough money. It can only barely maintain it now. Now I am living in a blue water, sea and sand mine island, and there is no man to occupy more islands.

It is not easy to guard this island. Every month on full moon night, a small tide of beasts will come to the island to absorb the moonlight on the island.

This beast tide will attack the island's miners and warriors.

Our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is getting older and has a meager financial resources. We can't afford to hire many Wu Zun to come to the island to guard it, so we can only give up other islands and concentrate on guarding one island.

Tianyi Pavilion actually doesn't care who owns these islands. It just wants to get the mineral sand as much as possible, so it sets a rule in the Bouji Islands: 'After the beast tide, the rest of the islands can be occupied at will, and whoever takes over them will get it. If the other companies are not convinced, they will directly send people to fight, and if they win, they will go to mine.'"

Zheng Zhen'an sighed, "I don't expect anything. Just don't lose the last blue water sea sand mine island. Otherwise, my Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will have no business to do in this East China Sea."

Ye Fan then understood a little bit that this was the case in the Buji Islands.

However, this should not have much impact on him.

He is now at the first level of the Martial Master Stage, and the island here is at most practiced for a year or two, so he may not be able to stay for how long.

I just hope that this small archipelago closest to Donglai has enough sea beasts.
Chapter completed!
