Zhao Hai stood outside the Spirit Crab Island's branch. He took a deep breath and said, "Ecstasy Gang's leader, Zhao Hai, requests an audience with Hall Master Guan."
Guan Sheng's voice was heard, "Come in." Zhao Hai nodded and walked into the courtyard. Upon entering, Zhao Hai stared. This was because he discovered that some things were missing. Some of the things that Guan Sheng and the others used in the courtyard had disappeared. This made Zhao Hai stunned, then he became happy.
At this time, Guan Sheng came out of the room along with several cultivators from the Spirit Crab Island. They all had smiles on their faces. When Guan Sheng saw Zhao Hai, he smiled and said, "Zhao Hai, you're here. This time, I'm here to tell you about the reward that the island has given you. Hehe, congratulations, you've become an outer disciple of our island."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but be happy. He quickly saluted Guan Sheng and the others and said, "Thank you for your help, Sirs. Zhao Hai is very grateful." Guan Sheng smiled and said, "You don't have to thank us.
Guan Sheng smiled faintly, then he said, "You don't need to thank us, it was you who did it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to help you. Zhao Hai, from today onwards, you are an Outer Disciple of Spirit Crab Island. At the same time, you are also the City Lord of Tideview City. You are in charge of Tideview City. The gang will no longer interfere with the city's affairs. However, you need to hand over 500 thousand jin of spirit rice and 2 million spirit crabs to the gang every year. As long as you can do this, we will no longer interfere with Tideview City's affairs. This is an order from the Island Master of Spirit Crab Island!"
Zhao Hai hastily said to Guan Sheng, "Yes, Island Lord's order!"
Guan Sheng took out a token and handed it over to Zhao Hai, "Zhao Hai, this is the City Lord's token of Tideview City. From today onwards, Tideview City belongs to you. As long as you hand over the things that the gang needs, then the management of Tideview City will be up to you. But if you don't hand over the things that the gang needs, then the gang will punish you. The heaviest punishment would be demoting you to a service disciple and sending you back to the island. Do you understand?" Guan Sheng nodded and said, "That's right.
Zhao Hai hastily replied, "Yes, Sir. I understand." Guan Sheng nodded and handed the token to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai took the token.
Guan Sheng looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, "Later on, you don't need to call me Lord, just call me Senior Brother. Everything about Tideview City is stored in this token. At the same time, you can also know how to use this token. You can enter Spirit Crab Island at any time and exchange for Cultivation Methods that Outer Disciples can learn. Moreover, you can also teach the people in the city. But you have to guarantee that the people in the city won't leave Spirit Crab Island and won't betray Spirit Crab Island. Moreover, the Cultivation Methods and Spells that you exchange on the island need to be exchanged with spirit stones, nothing is free. In other words, although you can't enjoy the benefits that Outer Disciples of Spirit Crab Island enjoy, you still have the authority of an Outer Disciple.
Do you understand? "Zhao Hai nodded and said," Yes, Senior Brother. I understand. "
What Guan Sheng said about the benefits and power of an outer court disciple was definitely not the same thing. The benefits of an outer court disciple were actually a lot. For example, every month they could receive a certain amount of crystal stones, a defensive robe, a certain amount of medicinal pills, and even free cultivation methods. These were the benefits of an outer court disciple, but Zhao Hai didn't have any of them.
However, using spirit stones to exchange for Cultivation Methods, artifacts, and pills was the right of an outer disciple. Unless they made a big mistake, no one could stop an outer disciple from doing these things. If someone dares to stop them, then they would be violating the sect's rules and would be severely punished. And Zhao Hai had these rights.
In other words, Zhao Hai couldn't get anything that could be obtained for free. Everything that could be bought with money could be bought by Zhao Hai. This was the difference between him and the outer disciples of Spirit Crab Island.
But at the same time, it was impossible for an ordinary outer disciple of Spirit Crab Island to manage too many people, unless they were a steward. However, Zhao Hai could manage all the Rogue Cultivators in Tideview City. That was nearly 20,000 people. Such authority wasn't small at all.
However, no outer disciple of Spirit Crab Island would want to come here to manage these Rogue Cultivators. This was because in their opinion, managing these Rogue Cultivators wasn't beneficial at all. These Rogue Cultivators could only do a few things, and everything that they did had a price tag. Even if they wanted to do something, it would be very difficult. If they really managed to get some benefits and force the Rogue Cultivators away, then they would be the ones to be punished if they couldn't complete their mission.
In a place like Tideview City, the concentration of spiritual energy couldn't be compared to Spirit Crab Island. Therefore, no one was willing to come here. Even those who knew that they had no hope of advancing didn't want to manage a place like Tideview City. They would rather go home and establish their own family or stay on Spirit Crab Island to manage some odd job disciples.
In fact, with the current situation of Spirit Crab Island, they wouldn't allow their disciples to come out at will. There was a very strange rule in Spirit Crab Island. Unless they were very talented, all the outer disciples of Spirit Crab Island had to reach the Spirit Refining Realm. Only the odd job disciples could reach the Qi Refining Realm. In other words, every outer disciple of Spirit Crab Island wasn't weak and could become the island's defensive force. If Spirit Crab Island were to let these outer disciples go home, then the island's strength would drop by a lot. Now that the Sword Spirit World's situation was unstable, the island would only let their outer disciples return to the island. How could they let them out at will?
There were a lot of strongholds like Tideview City on Spirit Crab Island. The reason why they put ten outer disciples in each stronghold was because they were afraid that these strongholds would be attacked. If someone were to attack, then ten people would be able to resist and then escape. If one person were to be attacked, then they would be killed.
But now, Spirit Crab Island had begun to take back people. Because of this, there were rewards for Rogue Cultivators to become outer disciples of Spirit Crab Island and manage these strongholds. This way, Spirit Crab Island could still receive a large amount of resources every year. However, they didn't need to send people to manage these strongholds. This freed up a lot of manpower, which was very important for Spirit Crab Island.
Guan Sheng looked at Zhao Hai, then he smiled faintly and said, "Zhao Hai, I'm very optimistic about you. Although you haven't ascended for a long time, the Ecstasy Gang listens to you. Moreover, you're able to make so many kinds of spells and receive rewards from the island. Therefore, your future won't be simple. Work hard and help the island manage Tideview City. The island won't mistreat you. If you go to Spirit Crab Island to study in the future, you can come and look for me, we're going back."
Zhao Hai cupped his fist towards Guan Sheng and said, "If Senior Brother Guan wants to go out of the island to carry out missions, then you must come to Tideview City. I'll take good care of you."
Guan Sheng laughed, then he patted Zhao Hai's shoulder and said, "Alright, then it's settled. Zhao Hai, remember, completing the sect's missions is very important. Don't be too harsh on Rogue Cultivators. Alright, we'll be leaving this place to you." After he said that, Guan Sheng and the others emitted a white light before disappearing in front of Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at the place where Guan Sheng and the others left and smiled faintly. Then he walked into the courtyard and carefully looked around. Although there were fewer things in the courtyard, most of them were still there. Guan Sheng and the others only took away some of their personal belongings. The other things, such as furniture, were all still there. This saved Zhao Hai a lot of trouble.
The environment of the courtyard was really good. The spiritual qi in the courtyard was denser than in Tideview City. Moreover, the spiritual qi in the room was denser than outside. The place with the densest spiritual qi was Guan Sheng's room.
Although the courtyard was very beautiful, Zhao Hai didn't plan to keep it like this. He planned to renovate the courtyard. However, the first step was to take control of Tideview City.
After coming out of the courtyard, Zhao Hai directly returned to the Ecstasy Gang. The people of the gang were all waiting for Zhao Hai. They knew that Guan Sheng sent people to look for Zhao Hai. They also knew that the Spirit Crab Island's reward had arrived. They were just curious about what reward the island gave Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at the people of the Ecstasy Gang and couldn't help but smile. Then he extended his hand and took out a token. Then he said, "Everyone, from today onwards, I'm the City Lord of Tideview City!"
Zhao Hai's words made everyone stare. Then they cheered. They thought that Zhao Hai might become the City Lord of Tidewatch City. But when this day really came, they couldn't help but feel shocked. At the same time, they were also very happy.
Zhao Hai looked at the cheering crowd and smiled faintly. Then he put away the token. This wasn't just a token, it was also Zhao Hai's identity token. At the same time, it was also a portable transmission formation. However, it was a portable transmission formation with fixed coordinates. In other words, Zhao Hai could only use this token to teleport to Spirit Crab Island or back to Tideview City. It was impossible to teleport to other places.
However, the most important function of this token was the management of Tideview City. If a Rogue Cultivator dared to disrespect the holder of this token, then they would be hunted down by Spirit Crab Island.
Wen Wenhai came to Zhao Hai's side with a smile on his face and said, "Boss, this is great. Now that you're the City Lord, Tideview City is ours. Tell me, what should we do next?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Don't be happy too early. Spirit Crab Island also gave us a rule that we have to hand over 500 thousand jin of spirit rice and 2 million Rock Spirit Crabs every year. If we don't hand over enough, then I'll be punished."
Wen Wenhai wasn't worried at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "I'm not worried about this. I believe that you'll be able to solve it. There are only so many things in total. It won't be difficult for you. Boss, why don't you tell me what to do next? How can we control the entire Tideseeing City? "
Zhao looked at Wen Wenhai's appearance and shook his head. Wen Wenhai's trust in him was unreserved, which made him very happy.
