The waves lap gently on the beach, which was full of chilling atmosphere just a few days ago. It is already peaceful and peaceful.

Suzaku looked at the sea in the distance with a peaceful expression, while Qin Xiao also put his hands behind his back and looked calmly into the distance.

"I poisoned the tea last night." After a long time, Suzaku finally said: "I watched Luo Yue pick up the tea cup. If she took a small sip, she would die immediately. She was not on guard against me. She was holding the cup.

Sometimes, he even had a smile on his face.”

Qin Xiaodao: "But you still can't bear it in the end!"

"Yes." Zhuque sighed: "Even if Haotian is full of evil, Luo Yue is innocent."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly and said, "If you really watch her drink the poisonous tea, you will never feel at ease in your life."

"For the current plan, I can only keep her under our surveillance as much as possible." Zhuque said: "I have already ordered Junior Brother Shangfu to strengthen patrols on the island to prevent others from taking advantage of her.

"

Qin Xiaodao: "I will also try my best to trace the true identity of Qingzhou Haotian. As long as I find him and eradicate him, Luo Yue's situation will be much safer."

Zhuque said: "I will also send people to investigate." He paused, turned to look at Qin Xiao, hesitated to speak, and finally asked: "Are you ready to leave?"

Qin Xiao just nodded and said nothing.

Although Gu Baiyi, Yu Wenchengchao and others were in charge of the Liaoxi area, it would not be appropriate if he stayed away for a long time.

The two armies in the Northeast were already at odds with each other in their struggle for hegemony. Qin Xiao would never look down on the Liaodong Army, let alone the Anton General Wang Xingchao.

"How do you feel now?" Suzaku was silent for a moment before asking.

Of course Qin Xiao understood what Suzaku was asking.

After practicing the [Spiritual Silkworm Canon] in the solitary room that night, under Suzaku's arrangement, Qin Xiao absorbed Gu Taoist's internal energy without much psychological barriers.

Suzaku always does things step by step and is fully prepared in advance.

When Qin Xiao saw Gu Daoren, Gu Daoren had been knocked unconscious by the drug in the food.

Logically speaking, with Gu Daoren's cultivation level, a mere drug would definitely not be able to deal with him. Once he notices it, Gu Daoren can easily force out the poison of the drug with internal force.

However, after being defeated by Qin Xiao's Inner Sword, Gu Daoren's mental shock seemed to be much more serious than his physical one. After being imprisoned, he felt groggy all day long and continued to use the food and water provided.

The most important thing is that although he has deep internal power, the meridians of his limbs have been cut off by the inner sword. As a result, his internal power cannot run smoothly around his body, and he cannot use his internal power to force the venom out of the body.

Qin Xiao also knew that although Gu Daoren's meridians were cut, as long as he preserved his inner strength, he would still be a huge potential threat. If a miracle happened to this person and he recovered, it would not be good for Tianzhai or himself.

Keeping him alive is considered the utmost kindness, but as for his inner strength, naturally he cannot be preserved.

[Spiritual Silkworm Codex] is indeed very effective. With the help of Suzaku, it only took less than an hour for Qin Xiao to absorb nine out of ten of the internal energy from Taoist Gu. After the internal energy was absorbed, Gu

The Taoist was haggard, and he would definitely never be able to practice martial arts in this life. However, Taoist Gu's internal energy poured into Qin Xiao's body like a sea. Although they were all Taoist internal skills, Qin Xiao still suffered a lot.

This is also a process that must be endured to absorb internal power. Fortunately, the [Spiritual Silkworm Codex] not only describes in detail how to absorb internal power, but also explains how to integrate internal power. So what Qin Xiao has to do in the past two days is to combine Gu Daoren

Turn your inner strength into your own use.

Integrating that inner power into one's own use takes much more time than cultivating the [Spiritual Silkworm Codex].

However, as that internal force gradually integrated into his own use, Qin Xiao also clearly felt that his own internal force was abundant. According to Zhuque, with Qin Xiao's current internal force cultivation, even if it was only the seventh-grade first mirror for the time being, within the realm of seventh-grade,

I'm afraid no one can defeat him.

"Gu Taoist's inner strength is profound. I'm afraid it will take some time to integrate it all for his own use." Qin Xiao said: "It's not advisable to rush it yet. I'm slowly integrating it with my inner strength. At the current speed, it will take more time."

It took ten or eight days." He looked at Suzaku and said gratefully: "Aunt Ying, I owe you for such a harvest."

Suzaku shook his head, thought for a moment, and finally said: "In addition to the main island of Penglai Island, there are dozens of large and small islands within a radius of a hundred miles." After a moment of hesitation, he said: "The main island is Mr. Tianzhai.

It is the place where the temple is located, so the island cannot be destroyed or damaged.”

When Qin Xiao heard this, he was startled for a moment and felt something vaguely.

"Less than fifty miles southeast of the main island, there are three connected islands." Zhuque said: "When Master was alive, he named those three islands Brother Island. In fact, the Penglai Islands should be the same island at the bottom of the deep sea.

There is a seabed, so many of the ores on the island are the same. Among the islands, Brother Island has the richest iron ore storage, and because of this, there is sparse vegetation on Brother Island because there are too many ores on the island and it is not suitable for

Grass grows.”

Qin Xiao said: "Aunt Ying, what do you mean...?"

"Last time you saw the Black Iron Essence Stone, you were overjoyed. I know what you mean." Zhuque said: "Brothers Island has rich ore reserves, and Tianzhai can't actually use it, and it's not suitable for living there either.

It is not suitable for growing vegetation and vegetables. If you really want to mine and forge armor and weapons, Tianzhai can allow you to send people to mine on Brother Island."

Qin Xiao naturally coveted the black iron essence stone in his heart. After all, from the actual situation, he really needed such a concentrate.

It's just that the Penglai Islands are considered the property of Tenzhai. Even if you want to mine here, you need Tianzhai's permission.

He didn't know what Suzaku was thinking. He had been looking for an opportunity to discuss it with Suzaku in the past two days, hoping that Suzaku would be noble and give some black iron stones as a gift. Even if he could only build dozens of armors, it would be better than nothing.

Unexpectedly, Suzaku had already thought of this problem, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he actually gave away three islands, which were the places with the richest ore reserves.

He was very excited and was about to thank him when Suzaku glanced at him and sighed: "Since you have set your sights on the black iron stone, if you don't agree, I don't know what you will come up with. And if I refuse,

You're just afraid that I'm stingy."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Aunt Ying, you are really giving me timely help."

"I'm not as good as you think." Zhuque said: "After this incident, everyone in the world will know that Tianzhai and your Long Ruijun are sitting on the same boat. Although Penglai Island has calmed down now, Tianzhai's

There are still too many enemies. Tantai Xuanye, Qingzhou Haotian, and even some enemies in the Jianghu who are hostile to Tianzhai are difficult to deal with." After a pause, he said quietly: "Everyone knows you Long Rui.

The army has become Tianzhai's backer. In this case, increasing the strength of Long Ruijun will not be a bad thing for Tianzhai."

Qin Xiao knew that Zhuque was telling the truth and said with a smile: "Tianzhai and Long Ruijun share weal and woe now, and so do Aunt Ying and I...hehe, we are inseparable."

"Just mining iron ore, or even forging armor and weapons, Tianzhai can't help." Suzaku said: "There are many people in Tianzhai who are good at medicine, but no one is good at forging weapons."

Qin Xiao thought for a while and then said: "If you just open a warehouse for ore on Brother Island and then transport it to Liaoxi for forging, this transaction will really delay things. Aunt Ying, if you set up a forging workshop directly on Brother Island and mine and forge on the spot, you

What do you think?"

"This will naturally be much more convenient." Zhuque said: "Since Brother Island has been handed over to you, Tianzhai won't care how you use it, as long as they don't rush to other islands." After thinking for a while, he said: "Those words

Don't take it as a joke. Tianzhai is a Taoist sect. If your people go to Brother Island, they are not allowed to harass other islands. Brother Island is given to you because you are kind to Tianzhai, so no one can object. But when the time comes

If they harass Taoist monks and cause resentment among Tianzhai disciples, things will become troublesome."

"Don't worry about this. If you send someone over, you must be strictly restrained."

Suzaku nodded and said: "If you want to mine and forge on Brother Island, the most important thing is to solve two problems. First of all, in addition to a large number of mining workers, you also need blacksmiths who are skilled in forging. In addition to some ordinary blacksmiths, you also need to be specialized in armor and

Weapon forging craftsmen. These craftsmen are hard to find. The imperial court has established a sword hunting order, and civilians are not allowed to forge weapons privately. Therefore, if you want to find such people, you need to look for them from official blacksmiths. But the official blacksmiths are all paid well, and

Even though they are still members of the official family, I am afraid not many people would be willing to let them go far away from the mainland to the distant sea."

When Qin Xiao heard this, he nodded and his expression became solemn.

"In addition, forging requires a furnace, and ordinary people cannot build a furnace. Craftsmen must also be found from the government." Suzaku said: "The materials required to build a furnace are extremely expensive and the cost is extremely high."

"There are also logistical supplies." Qin Xiao said solemnly: "When the time comes, a large number of craftsmen will be mining ore and forging weapons on Brother Island. They will eat, drink, and eat a lot of food every day, and they will need a continuous supply."

Suzaku said: "So if you really want to do this, you can't do it just by thinking about it. It requires a lot of preparation."

"Logistics is not a problem." Qin Xiao said: "The Taihu Navy has been reorganized into the Liaoxi Navy. They can transport supplies to Brother Island at regular intervals. It is not a problem for Liaoxi to supply the logistics materials needed by Brother Island.

He raised his hand and touched his chin, wondering: "But the official craftsmen mentioned by Aunt Ying are indeed not easy to find." After a pause, he continued: "There should be a group of craftsmen in the Northeast who are good at forging armor and weapons, but they

They are all in the hands of the Liaodong Army, and no such person can be found in western Liaoning."

Suzaku pondered for a moment and then said: "There are only two ways to solve such a matter. You need to send people to the official forge to poach people, but as I said, not only do you have to come up with conditions that are enough to make the other party tempted, but also

And there are risks. Once you are reported, things will become more troublesome. Besides, the other way is to find an underground pawn shop!"
