The nameless small desert island where Su Chen was in seclusion was tens of thousands of miles away, Chisha Island.

This island is located within a multi-mountain spirit island group. The island is 700 to 800 miles in radius. The red sandstone is red like fire and strange rocks are abrupt. The island is full of fire aura. Except for a small amount of fire-type spirit grass, there is almost no ordinary growth of plants.

This island is the few islands in the East China Sea that can produce fire-type spirit ore.

There are only thousands of low-level cultivators of fire-type cultivators living here on this island, absorbing fire spirit to practice, forming a cultivator settlement area. Because the fire spirit energy is too heavy, it is difficult for mortals to live for a long time, and there is no mortal city.

However, there are more than ten large fire ore fields on the island, which produces fire ore, which is the main income of Chisha Island.

A magnificent Fire Rock Hall on the top of the island is the palace of Cao Dedao, the lord of Jindan Island.

Main Palace.

A middle-aged monk with a cold face sat on the throne in the hall with a calm face, looking at the monks in the hall.

On both sides of His Highness, more than a dozen foundation-building monks stood, standing with their hands down, uneasy.

They are all confidants and subordinates of the island owner Cao Dedao, and are responsible for the production of more than ten mines on Chisha Island.

At this time of year, they have to report the income of each mine to the island owner.

"Our family, this is the income and expenditure account book of the Red Refining Stone on the island this year. The grade of the spirit ore produced this year has dropped slightly, resulting in a little less income. However, the main reason is that the miners have insufficient staff, so that some mines have stopped working. The total income this year has been reduced by nearly 30%.

A foundation-building monk held a thick account book in his hand and carefully looked at Cao Dedao's face, as if he was afraid that this bad news would attract the island owner's anger.

"Reduced by 30%?"

Cao Dedao looked through the account books of this year's income and expenditure handed over by his subordinates and frowned deeply.

The fire mine income of the mines on Chisha Island in recent years has been decreasing year by year. However, the decline this year has been particularly severe, not only the grade of the spiritual ore has decreased, but the output has also been greatly reduced.

At its root, this Red Sand Island has been dug for thousands of years and has been dug out rich mines long ago. Only some barren mines can continue to dig out residual mines, which is extremely difficult to mine.

He even had to let his younger brother Cao Dechang go to Middle Earth and traffic some mortals to Chisha Island as mine slaves to save the cost of digging spiritual mines.

But ordinary people will not live long on this island with strong fire spirit, and will be poisoned by fire and die for several years, so they will transport a group of new mine slaves every few years.

If the income on the island is just a decrease in income, it would be nothing. At worst, it would be a little short of money, so just save some money.

But Cao Dedao had another headache, that is, the expenses of Chisha Island were very high.

In addition to the practice cost of thousands of monks on the island, he also had to pay a huge tax to the Spirit Island Alliance every year.

Lingdao Alliance!

This is the first powerful force established by the Chinese Immortal Cultivator in the East China Sea.

Although the East China Sea is large and boundless, the number of spiritual islands occupied by immortal cultivators is actually very limited. There are still a very large number of wilderness islands occupied by powerful demon monks and the barbarian natives in the East China Sea.

The human monks came across the sea from Middle Earth and took thousands of years to gradually occupy these East China Sea islands. With the Jindan monk as the island owner, they divided the vast sea areas into the control of the human race.

The human cultivators in the East China Sea all come from the Middle Earth immortal cultivation world, and most of them are Golden Elders who are from the Five Great Immortal Sects and dozens of small Immortal Sects.

In the early days, the spiritual islands in the hands of human race were very limited, and they fought each other and had serious internal friction.

Later, in order to avoid the cultivators being divided into different forces because of the different origins of the Immortal Sect, the Jindan cultivators no longer used the identity of the Immortal Sect in the distant East China Sea to form a Ling Island Alliance together and start a war on the islands occupied by the indigenous peoples and demon cultivators in the depths of the East China Sea to compete for more Ling Islands.

All the Jindan Island owners in the alliance have to pay an expensive fee every year to support the expansion of the Lingdao Alliance, and this money must be lost.

If you do not surrender, you will be deprived of the identity of the Lord of Ling Island, and you will only become a Jindan cultivator without a fixed territory, and you will not even be protected by the alliance.

Chisha Island's revenue has dropped sharply by 30%, which has caused Cao Dedao a headache.

But he would never dare to offend the Spirit Island Alliance.

Cao Dedao was quite helpless and pondered for a moment, and could only say to the foundation-building monks in the hall: "All monks on the island will all reduce their salary by 30% to overcome the difficulties! When Dechang returns from Middle Earth and brings back a group of mine slaves, he can alleviate the problem of insufficient staff from miners. The mining income will increase next year, and his salary will be increased."

Most of the foundation-building monks and Qi-refining monks on Chisha Island, including the guards of the island, the weapon refiners and apprentices, miners, etc., are all subordinates who serve Cao Dedao and their subordinates. They serve as the island owner on Chisha Island, so they naturally need salary. Otherwise, who would be willing to serve him for free?

In the hall, the foundation-building monks looked at each other.

This significantly reduces the salary by 30% will definitely cause a lot of complaints from the monks at the bottom.

But the income of Chisha Island has dropped sharply, so this can only be taken.

Suddenly, a guard came to report that Cao Dechang brought more than ten Qi-refining cultivators back to Chisha Island and was coming to the Treasure Hall.

After a moment, Cao Dechang came to the treasure hall to see Cao Dedao.

"Second brother, I'm back! This time I went to Middle-earth to sell slaves, but those thousands of mine slaves can be sent to the mine?!"

Cao Dedao's cold and heavy face finally showed a little smile. But he found that Cao Dechang's expression was a little wrong, and he looked depressed.

"Brother! You have to make the decision for your younger brother!"

However, Cao Dechang knelt on the ground with a thud and cried.

"What happened? Could it be that there was something wrong with the mine slave?"

Cao Dedao's expression changed slightly.

"It's not just a mine slave! Brother, I bought a large ship of thousands of mine slaves from Middle Earth. On the way, I met a foundation-building monk from Middle Earth. I kindly asked him to take the boat and treat him with delicious food and drink, but that man was too domineering. Not only did he take my sea boat, but he also forced me to sign a fifty-year contract for him to serve him for fifty years before I left. I ran back when he had no time to be distracted."

Cao Dechang cried.

"Oh, he doesn't know you are my Cao Dedao's younger brother?"

"I know, but he doesn't care!"

"A mere foundation-building monk dares to be so bold?!"

When Cao Dedao heard this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.

He was upset about the sharp drop in income from Chisha Island and was waiting for his second brother to come back to deal with the emergency.

Unexpectedly, this incident happened again and robbed all the mine slaves.

Anger arose in his heart.

The two brothers are half-brothers, and they are almost the same age, but their qualifications for cultivating immortals are much worse. He has been breaking through the realm of the Golden Elixir for decades, but this younger brother is still in the early stage of foundation building.

He knew that his younger brother had little cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, and he had a great ability to cause trouble.

I can't believe all these words of crying. It's probably because Cao Dechang offended someone at sea, had a dispute with others, and wanted him to help him win back his face.

However, even if Cao Dechang is a waste, he is Cao Dedao's second brother. He doesn't look at the monk's face and looks at the Buddha's face. He doesn't count on stealing a slave ship, but he also forces his younger brother to sell himself as a slave. What a crazy person who dares to provoke Jindan monk like this!

"Brother, this person's surname is Su. He has only been in the late stage of foundation building cultivation and is near the Emerald Island! My contract is still on him, so I asked my brother to ask him for it back. Otherwise, I would have no shame to see anyone in the East China Sea!"

Cao Dechang hurriedly said.

"Hmph, go and find him!"

Cao Dedao's face was gloomy, and he immediately took more than a dozen foundation-building monks in the hall, and rushed to Emerald Island with his second brother Cao Dechang to find the whereabouts of the monk.

Half a month later.

Cao Dedao and Cao Dechang and his party of monks rushed to the Emerald Island and found that the giant slave-trafficking ship was still anchored in the port. The sailor crew were still resting on the Emerald Island, but they did not find Su Chen's whereabouts.

Cao Dedao sent monks to search everywhere. After searching for many spiritual islands suitable for living and practicing for several months, he still had nowhere to be found.

It seemed that Su Chen suddenly disappeared from the multi-mountain spirit island group, and no one knew its whereabouts.

Could it be that I left this area and went to the deep sea?

Cao Dechang was puzzled.

They were searching in the sea, but unexpectedly discovered a golden elixir-stage disaster cloud was born near a deserted island on the edge of the Ling Island Group.

This huge sky thunder and catastrophe cloud covering hundreds of miles, and the terrifying aura spread thousands of miles away, and the impact range reached tens of thousands of miles.

Is there a Jindan monk who is pursuing the tribulation?

This is strange!

For at least hundreds of years, no Jindan monk has passed the tribulation in this multi-level mountain spirit island group.

Cao Dedao was shocked and immediately went to see the situation with Cao Dechang and other group of foundation-building monks.

There are only more than a dozen Jindan Island owners in this area.

Since a new Jindan monk has been born, of course I have to visit and make friends.

At this time, thousands of foundation-building and Qi-refining monks had already gathered around the dozens of miles of the nameless desert island, pointing their fingers and chattering about this grand occasion.
