Chapter 309 Half one of our own, a precursor to the storm
"Then why did you end up living on the open sea and become a pirate?"

Xie Huan asked curiously.

The blazing red light flashed a few times without making a sound.

Xie Huan smiled. He seemed to be a spirit with stories, so he didn't ask any more questions.

He raised his hand, and the ghost fire shot out, melting all the ice in the secret room.

Chi flew back into his body.

Xie Huan left the secret room and went to the leasing center to withdraw the spiritual energy. After receiving the deposit, he returned to the Yunshang Chamber of Commerce.

Shang Tao immediately came to greet him and reported on the recent events.

A total of 47 tickets were sold, including seven pill-forming monks with a ticket worth 100 million each, 31 foundation-building monks with a ticket worth 200 million, and nine Qi-refining monks with a ticket worth 500 million.

A total of 900 million low-grade spiritual stones were earned.

Because it was operated secretly by the Cloud Merchants Chamber of Commerce, with guaranteed credit and the promise of a full refund without leaving, the payment was very smooth.

Shang Tao took out a storage bag, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "This is cash. Mr. Xie, do you want to take it directly, or should I help you pay it to Fengyu Youye? Is there any advantage to paying it to the card? It goes without saying that it is not safe to have so much money on your person.”

Xie Huan took it away without politeness and hummed: "The money is there, but if the people are not there, the body will be picked up by others, or the body will be picked up by your chamber of commerce on the clock, it's the same."

"Not necessarily."

Shang Tao swallowed. If such a large amount of money was deposited into the Chamber of Commerce, it would be considered his achievement, so he continued to fight hard and said: "If you were robbed, wouldn't you keep it?"

Xie Huan said with a smile: "I must have some pocket money, right?"

He took out 500 million low-grade spiritual stones, threw them to Shang Tao, and said, "This is your hard-earned money."

Shang Tao trembled and was so frightened that he lost his balance and hurriedly pushed back: "Young Master Xie is joking. It's my honor to help you with your affairs."

Xie Huan stuffed it into his hand, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "I'm one of you, you don't have to be polite. How can I let the shopkeeper work in vain? I'm so grateful for your care from Bobo Island to now."

Seeing that Shang Tao still didn't dare to take it, the smile on his face turned cold: "If the shopkeeper continues to be so polite, he will look down on me to thank someone."

Shang Tao was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and his mood was as if it was being roasted on a fire.

This money is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for him. If he accepts it, his future will be ruined once he is investigated by the superiors. If he does not accept it and offends Xie Huan, he is afraid that his future will be ruined as well.

"Don't worry. Regarding the boat ticket, I hired your personal help and it has nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce. You deserve the money."

Xie Huan said.

Shang Tao is still in a state of confusion. Are you saying that it has nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce?I sold the tickets in the name of the Chamber of Commerce. If I are found out in the future, will the superiors care about me?

But with 500 million in front of you, it is impossible not to be moved.

"In that case, thank you very much, sir."

Shang Tao gritted his teeth and quickly thanked him and put it in his pocket.

He comforted himself and said: I can't afford to offend this person. I have to get him. If I find him in the future, I can talk to this person and make it clear. I will definitely be safe.

Xie Huan smiled and said: "Let's continue talking about business."

He found that in a place like Yuanyanghai, the role and capabilities of the Chamber of Commerce were far greater than those in Qingyun Continent. He would have a deeply binding relationship with the Yunshang Chamber of Commerce in the future, so developing some "own people" in the Chamber of Commerce would be a good idea. necessary.

Shang Tao is a person who is smooth, alert, and talented in spiritual practice. If I push him further, he is likely to rise through the ranks in the chamber of commerce and hold an important position.

The 500 million he has taken now is equivalent to half of his own people, and it will eventually be useful in the future.

"Yes Yes."

Shang Tao had just received 500 million and was a little excited. He nodded and continued: "According to reliable information, island storms will occur in the next few months. It is almost certain that the association will cancel navigation. I am still looking for potential buyers and try to sell as much as possible." The tickets are out, but the association has already targeted us and is secretly investigating."

"It's normal to be targeted. You must resist it in front of me. Don't expose the Wang family and Yagyu before setting sail, so as not to create variables."

Xie Huan warned.

"Yes, I will definitely stand up to it and will never reveal anything. The association does not have any evidence and does not dare to do anything rashly."

Shang Tao said with an apologetic smile.

Xie Huan asked about Hua Ling again.

After she met Xie Huan and temporarily reconciled, she no longer dared to live in the Chamber of Commerce and moved outside. Recently, she established a stowaway group and established some group rules. From time to time, she would make a fuss in the group.

Xie Huan joined the group and went back to his secret room to continue practicing and wait for the storm to come.

He took out the ice heart and started studying it.

After this thing was broken by myself, it has always been in the form of an ordinary ice cube, but it is colder.

After weighing it in his hand for a few times, he swept his consciousness into it and began to try to control it.

A feeling of clarity arises spontaneously, and the structure, energy, and frequency of spiritual thoughts and Bing Xin slowly merge.

The ice cube twitched in the hand, then emitted cold light, became much softer, and floated.

This feeling is indeed different from ordinary substances and magic weapons. It seems to have a spirit, but it also seems not to be alive. At this moment, he fully understood what Chi said before: "It looks like things but not things, it looks like spirit but not spirit, it seems like life but not life, it seems like death but not death." ".

His mind moved, and he visualized the appearance of the sword. Bing Xin made a slight sound, and the ice structure changed slightly, lengthening little by little, extending in the direction of the sword.

Soon it turned into a piece of ice, somewhat like a sword.

Xie Huan took it in his hand, poured his spiritual power into it, waved it a few times, and then slashed out the sword light.

But the ice bars "crunched" a few times and rolled into a ball on their own.

Xie Huan couldn't help but laugh. This thing is indeed interesting. Is there some kind of pattern in its behavior, or is it purely random?It must be clarified in order to have better control.

So I started trying various things.

Half a month later, Xie Huanzheng turned Bing Xin into a huge ice armor, covering his whole body.

Suddenly, the secret room shook slightly and lasted for more than ten seconds.

He turned the ice armor back into ice cubes, put it into the ring, released his original consciousness, and immediately felt that the space was filled with some unusual wind elements, as if coming from the abyss.

Under the flow of this wind element, the space shows a slight distortion that is difficult to detect.

It is difficult to detect without using the eye of insight.

"storm?"

Xie Huan was startled, and with a wave of his hand, a five-color light tunnel appeared. His figure flashed over the Chamber of Commerce, and he immediately felt the strong pressure of the wind element, coming in waves like a tide.

He looked up at the sky. The original blue color turned into glazed blue, and the clouds showed a strange flowing state.

On the sea in the distance, a large number of creatures kept jumping out of the water, manic and restless.

Birds flew around in groups and made all kinds of harsh calls.

All the monks on the island ran around in fear. The number of people staying outside decreased sharply, and most of them returned to their auras.

All the mortals were missing, not a single one ran away.

Every time a storm occurs on the island, mortals have to stock up on food and water, completely lock their houses, and many even tie themselves to iron pillars with iron ropes.

"Shang Tao."

Xie Huan directly transmitted the message below.

In a flash, Shang Tao came to his side, his robes were blown by the wind, and he hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute: "Thank you, Master."

"A storm is coming?"

Xie Huan's face darkened.

For such an important matter, he was not notified in advance.

Shang Tao felt Xie Huan's anger and hurriedly explained: "It's just a precursor to the coming storm. It will take at least three to five days before the precursor appears until the wind is strongest. I just want to wait for the precursor to come before notifying the young master, so as not to disturb me." Master, practice."

"Three to five days, that's not long. I'll contact Yagyu first."

Xie Huan's expression calmed down and he took out the nameplate and started to contact him.

Soon Yagyu replied, providing a coordinate location for everyone to gather there.

Every time a storm occurs on the island, the location where the channel opens is different. The association needs to conduct observations to determine where the strongest wind is, and then stay there and wait for the strongest wind to blast open the space channel.

Xie Huan transferred the coordinates to Shang Tao and said, "Contact Hualing, the Wang family, and all the passengers to meet at the designated location."

After saying that, he flew directly to the designated point.

The coordinates are at the easternmost part of the island. It is a wide valley surrounded by towering rocks, like a stone city. Thick moss and strange plants can be seen everywhere. There is a river below, coming from the mountains in the distance and flowing into nautical miles.

When Xie Huan arrived, two unfamiliar alchemy monks were already there.

The two men had sharp eyes, and there was a vague aura about them. It seemed that they were not kind-hearted people. After looking at Xie Huan for a few times, one of them asked: "Are you the victim?"

Xie Huan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, where is Lord Yagyu?"

"Still surveying wind spots."

One of the long-bearded old men stroked his beard and said with twinkling eyes.

The two looked at each other and ignored Xie Huan.

Xie Huan felt the arrogance of the two people. It was obviously because he only had the fake elixir realm. If it weren't for Yagyu Sheng's relationship, he might not have bothered to talk to him. He couldn't help but smile, and naturally didn't take it seriously, and began to observe the surrounding environment on his own.

Many huge rocks have formations carved on them.

This valley is one of the commonly used access points.

Every time a storm warning appears, people will be stationed to observe the wind, but this time there is no plan to open the channel, so no one from the association will be seen.

As for stowaway ships, they can only open passages at wind points not used by the association, which is equivalent to entering through a small door.

Soon people arrived one after another.

After a few hours, 40 people gathered, mainly for the foundation building period.

Shang Tao and Hua Ling also arrived.

Hua Ling began to send messages in the group, confirming her identity with everyone one by one.

The wind element in the valley is more abundant than on the island. Cyclones are constantly generated out of thin air, generating huge energy and tearing apart the ground and space. The rocks and trees that are swept in are shattered in an instant.

Suddenly, a large number of escaping lights appeared in the distance, flying towards them at extremely fast speeds, and each breath was extremely powerful.

"No, it's from the association!"

The face of the previously long-bearded pill-forming monk changed, and two sharp gleams shot out from his eyes as he stared at him.

　The next chapter will be a little later.
