Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

  Chapter 338 [Going forward again]

  Because for the islands with harsh natural conditions, the working population is a very precious asset. However, the owners of the islands invariably use the means of restricting rather than winning over to control the people under their command. They are very strict about the outflow of their subordinates, but they all want to poach people from other places.

  After all, with a larger population, more arable land can be reclaimed and more taxes can be paid. This account is well understood by the principals of the islands.

  Fang Chang's goal is far from here, he has never forgotten the purpose of his trip.

  However, after a general investigation on the island, he found no clues related to Qinglongtang.

  Then I can only change my mind and ask if there is anything wrong with the surrounding waters and islands. After all, as long as it has existed, there will definitely be traces. It is impossible for such a large monster training hall to have no impact on the surroundings, and those clues are often spread by people as strange stories in private.

   The quickest and best way to start talking to someone is to buy something.

  Fang Chang found a stall, bought some mashed garlic fried taro pieces made on the spot, and ate them with a small bamboo stick, while asking the stall owner in a relaxed tone.

  This taro has been processed in a special way, and it is also dipped in sugar and flour. It is fried in an old oil pan, golden brown and crispy, and fragrant. And with a small bamboo stick in your hand, you can even feel its crunchiness and softness inside. It tastes better, at least it suits the taste of monsters.

   Poking another piece and holding it in his hand, Fang Chang asked:

   "Above the East China Sea, has there been any strange news recently?"

The stall owner was a middle-aged man. Hearing Fang Chang's question, he said with a smile: "Is the customer interested in these? We have nothing to do on Yongfu Island, as usual, boats come and go, Work and rest as usual."

   Hearing the subtext in the mouth of the stall owner, Fang Chang followed along and asked:

   "And what about the other islands?"

   "That's a lot." Running a small business on this relatively prosperous Yongfu Island, the stall owner has long experienced a flexible tongue. He immediately opened the chat box and explained to Fang Chang:

"On Mingguang Island not far to the east, several outsiders did evil. They were caught by the island owner and whipped ten times each. Taking advantage of the turmoil on the land, I collected a lot of refugees and transported them back to the island. Those refugees are grateful to Dade, and the owner of that island has more power, which is really a win-win."

"It is said that there is a port in the southeast, where the water flow is warm, so there are mostly fish and shrimps. Most people on the island where the port is located are fishing. In the past two years, the fish there have suddenly increased several times, and the size is also large. There are many, just need to dry some salt, after salting, you can eat it yourself, and you can sell it for food. Of course, everyone is sighing, if those fish can be sent to land, it is reasonable to double the price, It’s a pity that the road is long and difficult.”

"Far to the east, there is a place where it is easy to lose ships, and I haven't heard of anyone who can return to the lost ship, so I have been sure about the situation inside. This kind of thing has long been spread among the ship owners. Yes, every time I mention it, it always makes people shiver..."

"More than a hundred miles to the north of the east, there is a very remote and small island. There is no port, no residents, and no island owner. But I heard that a boat was damaged not long ago. I went there to find a leeward We dropped anchor and docked there, but the few people who went ashore to fetch water were frightened back when they encountered a strange person, all of them still in shock..."

  The hawker was talking endlessly, but seeing that Fang Chang had finished eating the fried taro, he immediately stopped talking and greeted the new customers next to him.

  Fang Chang smiled and shook his head, he put the small dish back, then turned and left.

   This matter is not urgent, but it is also urgent, but everything depends on fate, otherwise I will not be able to find my goal. Fang Chang believed that in this square world, apart from himself coming here according to the guidance of the dark, there should not be any practitioners who could find the hidden training hall.

  Fang Chang went back to the pier and wandered around, looked around, and decided to buy a boat.

  After all, large ships are generally not sold, but leased out according to their location, which will always make a lot of profits, so they don't like these. After comparing various ships, Fang Chang finally found that the few small fishing boats parked on the outer edge of the port that he didn't even have time to catch were very suitable for his needs.

   "You are the owner of this boat? Don't know how to sell it."

"You want to buy a boat?" The boat owner was dressed in a muscular body and was dressed in a brown coat. He was not afraid of the cold in winter. He looked up and down twice, and focused on the strange but bulging package behind him. After swallowing, he said. : "My boat is not cheap."

  Fang Chang never lacked funds in his backpack, so he simply increased the price twice, successfully broke the owner's psychological defense, and owned this small fishing boat. The length of the boat was less than twenty feet, and there was a small shed on it, enough to keep out the wind and rain, and a simple sail.

The bilge was empty, and the owner of the boat insisted on boarding the boat, took the fishing net on it home, and stated that he only sold the boat this time, without this big fishing net that is not cheap and needs real-time maintenance .

  The original ship owner also ordered:

   "When you set off, you must bring enough water. In many cases, you can have no food, but you must have fresh water!"

"The water in the sea is salty and bitter. It's not drinkable at all. If you are in the vast sea, you can replenish fresh water, except to try your luck to get it from a small island with fresh water. I don't know how often it will come once. the storm."

"If you are afraid that the water will go bad, you can put fresh water in a bucket and put a few drops of oil on it. If you save it in this way, it will not be afraid of spoilage in a short time. If you are traveling for a long distance, you still need to get some wine on it. It is best not to be intoxicated. kind of..."

  Fang Chang didn't take it seriously, but listened very carefully.

  He thanked the captain who turned and left, lightly jumped onto the boat, and with a slight clap of his hands, he propped the boat away from the shore.

  Fang Chang is no novice at sailing.

  In these years, he has traveled far and wide to travel around, and has come into contact with various types of boats a lot, and he is no stranger to punting. So the boat sailed smoothly in his hands, and quickly slid into the sea with the help of the wind and oars.

  Fang Chang's goal is not clear, he plans to stop by and take a look at the small island that the stall owner said "has weird people". After talking to the stall owner and deciding to take a look, he already knew the location of the small island in his spiritual perception.

  So he is not afraid of getting lost, let alone how to get the direction in the vast sea.
