Cultivation Of Immortality: Starting From Working As A Cook In A Weapon-Refining Shop

"Young Master, is there any way to mine these veins? If we can develop all of these, it will be a great development!" Liu Yiyi asked excitedly.

"Of course, but you have to make some preparations!" Lu Yu said with a smile.

Didn't he choose the island just for these undersea resources?

"Really? When mining on the seabed, you not only have to withstand the squeeze of seawater, but you also have to face attacks from sea monsters all the time. It's not that easy!"

Liu Yiyi still couldn't believe it.

"It is true that some special tools and the assistance of sea beasts are still needed, but the most urgent thing at the moment is to arrange for the disciples to develop all the current more than 20 mineral veins. Also, arrange for some disciples to go to the reef island group in front every day Hunt monsters and provide spiritual flesh for the disciples." Lu Yu said.

In addition to the countless seabed mineral resources near Xianyuan Island, there are also inexhaustible monster resources.

In the large reef group dozens of miles away from Xianyuan Island, there are a large number of sea beasts looking for food nearby every day, making it an excellent hunting spot for monsters.

He also plans to make full use of these monster resources.

"Okay, but I guess we won't be able to spare many people. There is a serious shortage of people everywhere now. We still have too few disciples!" Liu Yiyi said.

"There haven't been many casual cultivators here lately?" Lu Yu couldn't help but ask.

"There are only a few dozen scattered ones. The major mining areas still mainly rely on our disciples to mine, which is very labor-intensive!"

"In this way, arrange people to recruit a large number of disciples to the coastal continents, and at the same time recruit casual cultivators at high prices everywhere. As long as they are willing to come and accept the casual cultivators we hire. One spiritual stone per day during the Qi training period, and ten per day during the foundation building period. At the same time, we also guarantee Their safety!" Lu Yu instructed.

"Ten spiritual stones a day? Isn't this too much?"

Liu Yiyi was surprised when she heard this.

She has been in charge of accounts for many years, and has a very good understanding of the income of low-level monks. A foundation-building monk earns ten spiritual stones a day, which is more than 3,600 spiritual stones a year, and can buy a good spiritual weapon.

This is an incredibly high salary!

With such a reward, I really don’t have to worry about no monks coming.

But in this way, the cost of mining on Xianyuan Island is higher than purchasing raw ore directly from outside. Not only does it not make money to hire people to mine, but it actually leads to a slight loss.

"If you don't want to let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf. Attract people here first. After they completely like this place, they will find a way to stay. By then, they will have to rely on us for food, clothing, housing and transportation. These spiritual stones will be earned back! And the popularity will increase. Later, a large number of shops in the city can be opened, and the value of our Xianyuan Island will naturally increase." Lu Yu explained patiently.

"That's right!"

When Liu Yiyi heard this, her eyes lit up.

She used to only focus on the mine and always felt that she couldn't do anything that would make a loss, but now after hearing the young master's analysis, she realized that it really didn't make a loss!

This is a typical long-term approach to catching big fish!

"Miss, why do you suddenly want to go to Pearl Island today?"

On a black iron ship, Hong Laodao, the steward of Caibei Island, asked with some confusion.

He is the peak Nascent Soul monk sent by the He family to protect He Xiaoyu, and he is also He Xiaoyu's think tank.

This Caibei Island is said to be managed by He Xiaoyu, the owner of the island, but in fact it is only him, the bodyguard and housekeeper, who is running it.

He was very surprised that his young lady suddenly said she wanted to visit Pearl Island today due to her indifferent character.

"I always feel that there is something wrong with Pearl Island. They are probably the ones who defeated the pirates!"

He Xiaoyu said with determination.

During this time, everyone is looking for the person who defeated the pirates. It is said that it is a strange-looking warship.

But none of the island owners like them found such a warship, so she thought of the one on Pearl Island.

Last time, she clearly saw that the ship had deformed, but the other party said that she had seen it wrong. Later, when she thought about it carefully, how could she have seen it wrong? Do you really think she is easy to deceive?

So, this time she vowed to expose the other party and clear her name at the same time.

"How is it possible? They are only a small force in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. How can they be so powerful?" Hong Laodao said it was impossible.

This idea is so whimsical!

He would rather believe that it was one of the other island owners than that of Pearl Island.

"Small force? Then how did they survive the beast tide?"

He Xiaoyu asked again.

Even their Caibei Island suffered heavy losses with Steward Hong, a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, in charge, let alone them?

"This... does seem to have some problems! But judging from the information I have collected, their top leaders indeed only have two mid-stage Nascent Soul monks. As for surviving the beast tide, there is probably another hidden agenda." Hong Laodao was a little uncomfortable. confirmed.

"So we are going to explore one or two!" An unprecedented fighting spirit flashed in He Xiaoyu's eyes.

...

Xianyuan Island.

After Liu Yiyi arranged the recruitment matters, Lu Yu began to prepare for retreat and make careful plans for undersea mining.

But before he could make any move, a disciple suddenly came to report that the owner of Caibei Island was visiting.

He was very surprised when he heard the news. He had no interaction with that woman, so why would she find this place?

However, he still put down what he was doing, changed his appearance, and walked out.

"Master Heda, I don't know why you came to see me?"

Arriving at the beach outside Xianyuan City, Lu Yu asked in confusion while greeting them.

"Master Lu, as a comrade in the alliance, you won't welcome me, right?"

He Xiaoyu was quite unhappy when he heard this.

"Haha, you're kidding! Of course you're welcome, please come inside!"

Lu Yu had no choice but to invite the two of them to Xianyuan City.

Walking on the road in the city, He Xiaoyu was very surprised when she saw how grand and beautiful Xianyuan City was. This was completely different from what she had thought before.

Even Hong Laodao was instantly impressed when he saw everything in the city.

He had been silent before and silently observed the person in front of him, but he didn't notice anything unusual.

But now that he saw this city, he immediately didn't think so.

How could a small force have such a reasonable plan, how could it have such a grand layout?

This is clearly the work of an expert hermit!

"Actually, you are the one who defeated the pirates, right?" He Xiaoyu suddenly asked coldly.

She was too lazy to beat around the bush, so she asked straight to the point.

But her words made Lu Yu break into a cold sweat.

He thought he had exposed himself somewhere.

But when I thought about it carefully, I thought it was impossible.

Because there were no other island owners present at all.

"Ahem...how is that possible? Master He, do you have any misunderstandings about me?" Lu Yu quickly covered it up with a smile.

This matter cannot be admitted casually, otherwise their Xianyuan Island will never be able to withstand the pirates' revenge.

"No? Then how do you own such a large island?"

He Xiaoyu suddenly showed a hint of doubt.

"This can only be said to be luck!"

"Luck? Okay, then how did you survive the beast wave?"

He Xiaoyu asked again.

This guy still wanted to fool her like a child, and she couldn't be fooled again this time.

"Are you talking about this? I am a weapon refiner. I spent a lot of money to build dozens of spiritual cannons, so I defended them."

Lu Yu explained with a smile when he heard this.

But secretly, he was already sweating profusely.

When did this woman become so smart? Nothing like his usual self.

"Is that so? But...we also have spiritual cannons, why don't we think they are of much use?"

He Xiaoyu was stunned when she heard this, but she quickly came to her senses and continued to ask.

"Maybe our spiritual cannon is special..." Lu Yu continued perfunctorily.

"What special method?"

"Just let people fly into the air and try it. Make sure you wear full armor!"

"snort!"

Hearing this, He Xiaoyu couldn't help but look at Butler Hong.

"Okay, let me try."

After speaking, Hong Laodao flew into the air and stood in the air with his hands behind his back, as if he were a master.

As for wearing armor, he didn't care at all. In this small sect, there was almost nothing that could hurt him.

Lu Yu felt helpless when he saw that the other party was so arrogant.

However, he didn't say anything more. He just said to the control center weapon spirit in the distance: "Crocodile God, activate the intermediate defense."

The next moment, a voice came from the void.

"Yes, Master!"

Eighty-one spiritual cannons were seen, all aimed at Hong Laodao in an instant, and a series of spiritual bullets came screaming.

Hong Laodao was immediately surprised when he saw these spirit cannons. He quickly put away his contempt and waved his hand to form a thick shield that condensed in front of him.

This shield is so strong that attacks with power below Nascent Soul cannot shake it at all.

However, the next moment, his expression immediately changed.

There were too many spiritual bullets fired at him in an instant, hundreds of them, one after another, shattering his shield in a short time.

The old man hurriedly put on his armor, but even so, he was still bruised and bruised very quickly. He tried to dodge in all directions, but the cannon also rotated instantly, hitting wherever it flew.

This scene made He Xiaoyu stunned.

What kind of spiritual cannon is this? So cool, right?

"Stop, stop, stop!" The old Taoist was so embarrassed that he hurriedly admitted defeat.

Although these spiritual bullets did not cause much damage, they also caused him to suffer a lot of physical pain.

"stop!"

As Lu Yu's order came, the surrounding spiritual cannons suddenly stopped, and the old man finally fell to the ground.

"How is it? Do you believe it?" Lu Yu said with a smile.

"..."

He Xiaoyu didn't know what to say for a while.

She also didn't expect that the opponent's spiritual cannon was so powerful. However, she was still a little unwilling to give up:

"Where's that battleship of yours? Can you show it to me again?"

"Being kicked out."

"..."

He Xiaoyu was speechless. How could it be such a coincidence?

"Island Master Lu, may I ask how you did that just now?"

Hong Laodao suddenly came over and grabbed Lu Yu's shoulders tightly, with great excitement.

At this time, he no longer had any immortal demeanor, but he didn't care at all.

"I made it using my own secret method."

"Then, can you help us build a defense system like this on Caibei Island?"
