Cultivation starts from being a ghost

Chapter 373 Tolls

The two chatted about the business alliance for a while, and then talked about their trip to the Demon Spirit Continent. Qin Chuan didn't know anything about this continent at all, and Long Feixue's family had a long history. After doing enough homework, "Yaoling Continent is about 200 million miles away from Zhongzhou, and its area is only a little smaller than Zhongzhou. So far, it is the only continent that is still ruled by Yaozu;
There are more than a thousand races of all sizes on the Demon Spirit Continent, of which ten are the largest, namely the Jiaolong Clan, Spirit Snake Clan, Fire Luan Clan, Fox Clan, Ape Clan, Wild Lion Clan, Giant Elephant Clan, and Gold-eating Beast Clan. , the Hanxi tribe and the Peng tribe, and the Shangmeng have business dealings with several of these major ethnic groups;
The purpose of my trip, in addition to fulfilling the previous agreement, is mainly to strengthen ties with various ethnic groups and lay the foundation for future business contacts! "

Qin Chuan nodded, it was getting late, anyway, there was time to chat with those on the road, so he left.

After staying in Shunfeng City for another day, a group of more than a hundred people boarded the treasure ship of the Longteng Merchant Alliance.

This ship was eighty feet long and twenty feet wide, nearly three times larger than the gambler's ship, and could be called an aircraft carrier.

The armed configuration on the treasure ship is also very extravagant, eight sets of Shenwu Kaitian formations, four sets of converging spiritual light formations, and two escort warships are fake Lingbao class. According to Long Shiliu, the total cost of this treasure ship is 800 million Middle-grade spirit stones are basically invincible in the sea, but the consumption of spirit stones while driving is also very alarming. In the case of gathering spirit formations to absorb free heaven and earth spirit energy, it still needs to consume at least a thousand spirit stones every day. If you encounter an enemy, Consumption will only multiply.

Treasure ships are not like ordinary ships, they have almost no depth of water, as if they are gliding on the water surface, and have a wind attribute to control the wind force and turn it into a part of the power, so the speed of such a huge ship on the water can be called lightning.

After boarding the boat, Qin Chuan met some "acquaintances", such as Long Nineteen in golden armor, the mighty Long Gang, and Long Yuan who kept changing patterns in his hand with a fan. He seemed to be deeply guarded and apprehensive, but that Long Yuan was a little too enthusiastic, "Little nephew Long Yuan, meet Uncle Qin, you can stay in the quiet room next to me, so that my little nephew can take care of you all the time!"

"What did you call me?"

"Call your uncle, you are Sangu's brother-in-law!"

"Oh, then your father is..."

"My father is Long Shiliu!"

Qin Chuan understood in an instant that like a father, like a son, the old man is exquisite, and it is normal for his son's temperament to follow him, so he lived in the quiet room next to Longyuan.

The journey at sea was boring and boring. Apart from using practice to pass the time, it was just chatting with acquaintances. Xu Peng was obsessed with alchemy, so he was not a very good chat friend. The people he had the most contact with were Long Feixue, Long Shiliu, and Long Yuan. Over time, the relationship between Qin Chuan and them became more harmonious, and he heard a lot of secrets and useful news, such as the affairs of some cultivating sects in Zhongzhou.

In the first half month of the treasure ship’s journey, there were basically no sea beast attacks. Most of the large and small islands it passed were inhabited, and sometimes the treasure ship had to stop there. Either a business partner of the business alliance, or a personal relationship with the Long family.

After getting away from the sea, it was another scene. Although there was no sea monster attack in the transformation stage, sea beast attacks were common. In this way, the people on the treasure ship had something to do and used these sea beasts to train their hands.

The islands in the deep sea are not as dense as those in the offshore sea. Sometimes a treasure ship can’t see a decent island even after traveling tens of thousands of miles. Most of the islands are deserted islands with no people inhabited. People sometimes intercept treasure ships to trade some goods, and some will carry them to other islands. For this, the Longteng Merchant Alliance will not refuse anyone.

Some people seem to have very good personal relationships with these island owners. For example, the bearded man named Long Qi, no matter the human race or the monster race, calls them brothers and sisters.

The first crisis encountered by the treasure ship was caused by the tsunami triggered by the earthquake. The super huge waves with a height of tens of feet were crushed like a wall of water. With just one blow, the mask on the outside of the treasure ship was blown away. Even the treasure ship almost capsized.

The crew members are very experienced, and the monk named Long Qi is even more determined. First, let all the passengers hide in the cabin, and then let the treasure ship go along the water. After accelerating, it quickly left the water and flew into the air, so the situation quickly stabilized...

After this incident, Qin Chuan became interested in Long Qi, and learned from Long Feixue that Long Qi had a detached position in the Long family. Since he condensed the Nascent Soul, he became the captain of this treasure ship. Over the past [-] years, he has gone to sea more than forty times. No matter who becomes the helm of the Long family, he must win over one.

Long Feixue showed considerable respect to Long Qi, but he didn't get a good response. This person didn't seem to like Long Feixue too much.

"Feixue, I think this person is rebellious, you'd better find someone who can replace him as soon as possible!"

"Brother Yi, it's not difficult to control a treasure ship, but coping with various crises requires rich experience, and Long Qi has been operating in this business for hundreds of years, I'm afraid his position is not easy to shake!"

Qin Chuan certainly understands this, "If you don't want to be controlled by others in the future, it's better to make a decision early. No one in the world is irreplaceable. It doesn't matter whether you tap the potential from within your Long family or hire it from outside. In short, if your grandfather Ascension, no one will be able to restrain this person at that time!"

"Brother Yi said that after I go back, I will report to Grandpa and ask him to make a decision!"

Qin Chuan shook his head secretly in his heart, the little girl was still too early to mature, this matter might be a question Long Aotian asked her.

Three months later, a huge island appeared in people's field of vision. This long and narrow island with a length of more than [-] miles from north to south is called Wan Yao Island. It is like a wall across the sea. If you go around north, It will pass through a sea full of ice floes, and it will pass through reefs stretching for millions of miles to the south, so it is the best choice to cross the strait in the giant island.

When the boat reached the entrance of the strait, it was stopped by several small iron-clad warships. The people on board had long ears, scales on their faces, and wings. They were obviously monsters in the form of transformation or semi-transformation. build.

Long Qi ordered a clever crew member to negotiate, but it seemed that the negotiation was not going well, and the crew member returned with a sad face.

"Captain, the toll fee has increased again, and you have to charge [-]% of the total price of the goods!"

Long Qi frowned, "Didn't you tell him that we are the treasure ship of the Longteng Merchant Alliance?"

"That's right, people say that even the treasure ship of Heavenly King Lao Tzu is also at this price!"

Long Feixue walked over, "Brother Seven, hasn't this Wan Yao Island been managed before?"

"Miss San doesn't know that the original owner of Wan Yao Island has ascended, and now he has been replaced by the Whale Shark King. It has risen to [-]%!"

Long Feixue frowned. Although the overseas trade is lucrative, [-]% of the profit will be deducted from the toll, which will greatly reduce the profit of the business alliance. In addition, the risk is very high. What else is there to do with this sea trade?
"What do you think, Brother Seven?"

The cunning in Long Qi's eyes flashed away, "It's all up to Miss San to decide!"

Long Feixue's expression darkened, and he glanced at the people around him. Long Shiliu hesitated to speak, and the others had different expressions, some seemed to be watching a joke, and some seemed to be in deep thought.

"Brother Sixteen, please speak up if you have anything to say!"

"That... This Wan Yao Island is a must pass. Even if they pay the toll this time, there is no guarantee that they will not make an inch next time. I think we should find someone to negotiate with the island owner. After all, we have cooperated before!"

Long Feixue nodded, and just about to speak, Long Qi took over, "What Brother Sixteen said is reasonable, how about asking Sixteenth Brother to negotiate?"

Long Shiliu's face changed, "I'm not familiar with the people on Wan Yao Island, the seventh brother travels to and from the sea all the year round, so it's better for the seventh brother to go out!"

Long Qi sneered, "I'm really sorry, I'm not familiar with the new owner of Wan Yao Island!"
