Three days later.
After this period of development, the territory occupied by Daxia Xianzong at the node of Benyuanhai has also been expanded, but so far, this expansion seems to have reached its limit. If you want to continue to expand, you must break the current barrier That's fine, but with the current strength of the disciples of the Great Xia Xianzong, it is impossible to break through the barrier.
At present, the disciples of the Great Xia Xianzong occupy fifteen small ore veins and three medium-sized ore veins. This site is already relatively large.
But now the expansion has reached its limit, because he has completely occupied the small and medium-sized mines under the seabed of the Giant Turtle Sea, leaving only three large mines that he has not yet occupied.
If you want to get more mineral veins, you can only expand outward, but if you expand outward, the surrounding sea area is not like the giant turtle sea area. The island owners in the surrounding sea area have cleaned up the monsters under the seabed, and Taking those mine veins as their own and becoming part of their territory, that is to say, the owner of Giant Turtle Island is more greedy for life and afraid of death, and did not go underwater to clear the monsters, so Su Yang can do it.
This leads to a problem. If Su Yang expands outwards to occupy more ore veins, that is to **** other people's territory. This will return to the original direction, which is not much different from occupying other islands. .
Occupying other islands will lead to conflicts and wars will break out. Now Su Yang and these island owners will not be able to gain advantage if he confronts these island owners, unless he comes over himself, but he doesn't want to come over on his own, so the expansion of Great Xia Xianzong For the time being, he has fallen into a bottleneck. If he wants to break through this bottleneck, he must wait for Su Yang's strength to improve.
In the end, Su Yang decided to endure it for the time being, and discuss the matter of further expansion after his strength improved. Currently occupying these fifteen small ore veins and three medium-sized ore veins, it is enough, plus five small islands and one medium-sized mine Island, then it can probably bring him five trillion golden wills of sentient beings every month.
If he can occupy a large mine vein, the harvest will be even greater, because a large mine vein will produce 100,000 original stones every month. According to the will of a golden sentient being worth 100 million, a large mine vein can give him every month. Provide the will of ten trillion golden sentient beings.
This harvest can be said to be very attractive, and it also made Su Yang very excited, but Su Yang was not blinded by greed and forcibly suppressed this impulse. He could not be so rash.
Greed and desire will push people into the abyss at any time. Only by calming down and thinking can he make the right choice. He is indeed more anxious to improve his strength now, but he is not so anxious.
Judging from the current battle situation between Immortal Life and Chaos Practitioners, the situation is relatively stable.
He still has plenty of time to improve his strength.
Besides, he also prepared a lot of escape routes for himself. Even if the situation really deteriorated, his life must be guaranteed, and there would be no sudden sudden death.
In addition to these circumstances, there is another reason why he decided not to be so aggressive, and that is the second stronghold, which has new changes.
The second stronghold in the original world is the mechanical kingdom.
The disciples in charge of exploration in the mechanical kingdom have gone to some resource areas to be developed through the mechanical kingdom.
It is Hui Kong who leads the disciples in this stronghold to explore and develop.
Now they are preparing to go to a place called No. 77 resource area to develop and explore through the spaceship of the mechanical kingdom.
Resource area No. 77 is a resource area at the level of the Great Dao Realm. The monsters that exist in it are all at the Great Dao Realm. There may be hidden Chaos Mirror monsters, but there are very few. There are many monsters, but there are also a large number of origin stone veins. As long as you have the strength, you can attack them and occupy them as your own territory.
Of course, there is a price for entering this resource area, and it is impossible for you to enter this resource area for free.
It is important to know that this kind of resource area is discovered by the machine kingdom, and they still use the means of the machine kingdom to go to the resource area. As pioneers, they can obtain resources, but at the same time they have to hand over a sum of resources to the machine kingdom.
The general plan is to share 50% to 50%. As pioneers, they are responsible for cleaning up monsters, and they can get 50% of the profit from the mine veins, and the other 50% will be handed over to the machine kingdom.
Regarding this point, in Su Yang's view, the protection fee is similar to the situation on the Giant Turtle Island, but this is also normal. The exploitation of resources by the superiors to the subordinates has always been to obtain large amounts of resources without bloodshed. , The way to harvest large amounts of resources has never been war, but to cut leeks, or let the people below willingly hand over the resources.
Perhaps by destroying the developed forces, a large amount of resources can be directly obtained at that time, but what about in the future?
Who will continue to mine, who will continue to expand the territory, that kind of one-time sale is not worthwhile for any big force.
Compared with one-time transactions, they have always exploited layer by layer. When a large amount of resources are gathered bit by bit, even if there is a small part at the beginning, but they continue to gather and accumulate. It will become a large resource, a resource sufficient to satisfy large forces.
Su Yang didn't have any idea about this. This is the law of the jungle. If he becomes stronger, he will do the same in order to obtain more resources. It's not because he is so kind that he doesn't do it now. It's just that the strength is not enough. Cultivation resources have always been contested. When you start to practice, you need to fight for any resources by yourself.
No one will give you resources, that kind of existence simply does not exist.
What's more, it is precisely because of this regulation that he can let the disciples of the Great Xia Xianzong go to expand the territory. If there is no such regulation, the major forces will control the resource area to death, and will not give outsiders any chance. Naturally, Su Yang has no chance to explore, and can only watch others get resources.
Because the stronghold of Benyuanhai was temporarily stuck in a bottleneck, there was no way to continue to expand, and there happened to be new developments here, so Su Yang also set his sights on the second stronghold, but this stronghold was relatively turbulent, because it didn't take long Here comes a new twist.
…
As the leader of the second stronghold, Huikong led the disciples of the Daxia Xianzong into the No. 77 resource area at the beginning, and then carried out normal expansion of the territory to attack the original stone veins occupied by those monsters.
At the beginning, the progress was relatively smooth. Relying on the strength of the disciples of the Great Xia Xianzong and those fearless star beasts, they easily occupied five small mine veins one after another, becoming one of the pioneers in this batch of resource development areas. excellent team.
As a land reclamation team, if they perform well, they will be rewarded by the machine kingdom.
The origin stone you hand in can be changed from 50% to 40%, or even 30%, 20%. As for how much to hand in, it depends on your performance.
To do a land reclamation operation, there is a contribution list. The third-ranked can only hand in four cost of origin stones, the second-ranked can only hand in three cost of origin stones, and the first-ranked can only hand in two cost of origin stones.
Because there are two behemoths in the wasteland reclamation team this time, the Frost Church and the Flame Church are both led by the early stage of the Chaos Realm, so they must not be able to **** them to become the top two, but if they can win the third place, then hand in The original stone can also be turned into 40%.
In Huikong's view, it is probably no problem to win the third place with the strength of the disciples of the Great Xia Xianzong and the cooperation of those star beasts. After all, the most powerful of the other teams is the Dao realm.
It's just that things are not that simple. After the Great Xia Xianzong showed enough strength, someone from the Flame Church took the lead in morning Huikong.
An envoy of the Flame Church looked at Hui Kong proudly: "The strength is not very good, but there are many means. It is possible to occupy five small mine veins so quickly, but it is because of the larger number of people, um... There is also the kind of A special monster."
The envoy didn't care about Huikong's face at all, and directly criticized Daxia Xianzong in front of Huikong.
The envoy of the Flame Church showed a faint smile on his face, and looked at Huikong: "Do you want to take the third place in the contribution list?"
Hui Kong looked as usual, nodded calmly and said: "Yes."
The envoy of the Flame Church showed a playful look on his face: "If you want to get the third place in the contribution list, without my Flame Church nodding, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it."
Huikong answered the words: "Then I don't know what we should do to get the consent of the Flame Church?"
The envoy of the Flame Church saw that Hui Kong was so knowledgeable, and immediately laughed happily: "Hahaha, it looks like you are very good, but you have to do things to satisfy the big shots in the church."
"I have a map here, as long as you attack in the direction I marked, then your Great Xia Xianzong can occupy the third position, and it is not impossible to even occupy the second position."
The envoy of the Flame Church threw out a map.
Hui Kong quietly took over.
He opened it and took a look, and immediately discovered the problem. The location marked by the other party was the direction that the Frost Church was going to move forward. If they went to stop the Frost Church recklessly, they would immediately suffer a devastating blow.
The envoy of the Flame Church naturally saw Huikong's changing face, and asked even more jokingly: "How? Is your Great Xia Xianzong willing to attack along this route?"
Huikong said in a deep voice: "If we attack according to the route you painted, we will definitely offend the Church of Frost. If the leader of the other side makes a move, what shall we do?"
The envoy of the Flame Church waved his hand and said indifferently: "Don't worry, we will stop them for you, the leader."
"You just need to attack these locations."
Hui Kong nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
After seeing Huikong nodding, the envoy of the Church of Flame also left satisfied. He felt that his mission for this trip had been completed, and Huikong absolutely did not dare to disobey his order of the Church of Flame.
Otherwise, the so-called Great Xia Xianzong will inevitably pay a heavy price for what he did.
Just after the envoy of the Flame Church left, a practitioner in snow-white clothes suddenly appeared behind Huikong.
This is naturally the envoy of Frost Church.
"How about I say that the people of the Flame Church are very domineering and unreasonable?"
"Cooperating with my Frost Church, we promise that as long as we can completely defeat the Flame Church, as long as we can support Daxia Xianzong to sit on the second place in the contribution list, our Frost Church will never be ambiguous. We can sign a contract with these requirements."
The attitude of the Frost Church's envoy is obviously much better, and what he does is comfortable.
Hui Kong nodded slightly, but said: "I can't be the master of this matter, I want to ask the suzerain, please wait a moment."
…
Su Yang's avatar in the main hall came here, and opposite him was the envoy of the Frost Church. He already understood the cause and effect of this time.
After seeing Su Yang's avatar, the envoy of the Frost Church was also a little surprised. He could naturally perceive that Su Yang was an avatar, and his strength was very strong even in the Great Dao Realm.
The appearance of Su Yang's avatar can't help but raise his weight towards Daxia Xianzun by several levels. If there was only Hui Kong, a disciple of Daxia Xianzong, who was only in the middle stage of Dao Realm, then although they would communicate normally and equally, they would not Too much care, but the strength Su Yang showed is completely different.
The avatar has the Great Dao Realm and is perfect. The strength of the 1,500 laws of the main body will only be stronger, probably perfect, or even more terrifying.
After thinking for a while, Su Yang said to the Frost Church envoy: "We have agreed to the cooperation request of the Frost Church, and hope that we can cooperate happily in the future."
Hearing Su Yang's answer, the envoy of the Frost Church showed a bright smile on his face: "It's a happy cooperation, and I will send the contract later."
Su Yang nodded to express his understanding.
Then the Frost Church envoy left quietly, and his mission here has been completed.
After everyone left, Hui Kong looked at Su Yang: "Sect Master, do you think this Frost will be reliable?"
Su Yang did not answer directly, but asked instead: "How long will it take to develop the No. 77 resource area?"
Huikong thought for a while, collected the information he had collected in the mechanical kingdom, and replied: "It should take about five to ten years. This is the case without accidents. If there are any accidents, this time may be extended at any time."
Hearing Hui Kong's answer, Su Yang smiled: "That's good. If it takes five to ten years, my strength has already broken through the Chaos Realm. By then, whether the members of the Church of Frost are trustworthy or reliable? Is it important?"
"Delay for a while, wait for a while, and talk to them about the truth, especially the Flame Church."
Hui Kong nodded approvingly.
"The flames teach these people, just like wild beasts that have not been influenced. I think I need you, the suzerain, to influence them with a sharp sword."
