Everyone in Tideview City became busy. Some people were assigned to look after the fish farms, silver barracuda farms, and seaweed farms. Some people were assigned to look after the spirit fields. In fact, they weren't just looking after the spirit fields. They were responsible for planting and harvesting. Aside from the spirit fields, they didn't need to do other tasks. If they wanted to do other tasks, the gang would give them contribution points.
But now, more and more people were preparing to make wine. At this point, the Tideview Gang knew that their crisis has been resolved. They can now live a normal life, and making wine was something they must do.
Zhao Hai already said that the Tideview Gang's main source of income would be wine making. This was very important for the Tideview Gang. Therefore, they were very careful about making wine.
The things that Chen Yan ordered were quickly brought back. Those things weren't difficult to make. They were just some daily necessities, not artifacts. For a refiner, it was very easy to make them.
Zhao Hai also planted a lot of Aquarius Trees in Tideview City. These trees were planted in the area where they would be making wine. They can be used as barrels.
After that, the people of the Watcher Gang went to the orchard and plucked a lot of fruits. Then they washed the fruits and squeezed them into juice. Then they mixed it with Zhao Hai's distiller's yeast before sealing it up.
These things weren't like the spirit rice. They only needed to be busy for a few days to plant the spirit rice. There were a lot of things that they needed to do. Whether it was picking the fruits or pressing the juice, they needed to do it bit by bit. It was very time-consuming. And with the limited tools and the large orchard, it took them more than a month to turn all the fruits into wine. However, they still hadn't fermented, so they couldn't be considered real wine. They needed to store it for a while.
Because they weren't very good at making wine, it was inevitable for them to be clumsy. Zhao Hai had no choice but to keep an eye on them. Fortunately, they were done.
Afterwards, Tideview City returned to its original state. Everyone did their tasks and cultivated. There wasn't much to do.
Not long after Zhao Hai finished making the wine, Ding Chunming returned from the market. This time, he came back with several cultivators. Although there weren't a lot of them, they were all very capable. These people also met with Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai had a good impression of them. They weren't crafty and had good talents. Therefore, Zhao Hai had them join the Tideview Gang and become its disciples.
However, Zhao Hai was also planning to focus on training these people. He would select some talented and loyal members of the Tideview Gang and train them. In the future, these people would be under Zhao Hai's direct command.
Regarding Zhao Hai's approach, the people of the Tide-watching Gang didn't oppose it. They all ascended from the lower realms and had experienced a lot of ups and downs. Naturally, they knew why Zhao Hai wanted to do this. They also thought that this was normal. If they were in Zhao Hai's shoes, they would have done the same. Zhao Hai's eyes lit up.
However, ever since these people arrived, Zhao Hai began to go into seclusion from time to time. In any case, the Tideview Gang was already operating normally, so he didn't need to worry about anything. Naturally, his seclusion wouldn't affect anything.
Although Zhao Hai went into seclusion from time to time, his control over the Tideview Gang didn't decrease at all. At this time, the Tideview Gang didn't have a lot of pills and artifacts. However, because everyone could go out and train from time to time, their cultivation speed didn't slow down. On the contrary, it was much faster than before.
A month after Ding Chunming returned from the market, the people of the Tideview Gang gathered at the seaside. Everyone was looking at the seaside with excited expressions.
The reason why they were so excited was because today was the day that the Tideview Gang officially started to put the Crab seedlings into the Rock Spirit Crab farm. This also meant that the Tideview Gang would start to breed Rock Spirit Crabs.
As long as their Rock Spirit Crabs are successfully bred, then they wouldn't need to catch Rock Spirit Crabs in the future. They would have their own Rock Spirit Crabs to produce, so they wouldn't have to worry about Spirit Crab Island's missions. They also wouldn't have to spend ten days every month catching Rock Spirit Crabs.
Today wasn't the day of high tide. Zhao Hai and Wen Wenhai were holding large wooden trays in their hands. There were also a lot of people like them holding large trays. These large trays were divided into small compartments. Each compartment contained a Rock Spirit Crab. However, these Rock Spirit Crabs seemed to be sleeping, they were lying there motionlessly.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Alright, it's almost time. Everyone, put in the crab seedlings!" Everyone nodded, then they turned over the trays in their hands. One by one, the Rock Spirit Crabs fell out of the trays and onto the beach.
Zhao Hai looked at the Rock Spirit Crab seedlings and nodded. There weren't a lot of Rock Spirit Crabs. This time, Zhao Hai only threw in ten thousand of them. Zhao Hai already knew that these Rock Spirit Crabs didn't take a long time to mature. They only needed three months to grow to the size of a plate. However, this was their limit. Then they would lay eggs and reproduce. Moreover, a crab can lay a lot of eggs. Because of this, the Rock Spirit Crabs haven't gone extinct. Otherwise, with the Spirit Crab Island's method of catching them, the Rock Spirit Crabs would have already been caught.
The Rock Spirit Crabs weren't very big, the biggest one was only the size of a plate. The Rock Spirit Crabs that could grow to the size of a millstone weren't natural Rock Spirit Crabs. They were specially bred by the Spirit Crab Island.
The Rock Spirit Crabs that Zhao Hai and the others caught were only small crabs. They weren't mature yet. Zhao Hai wanted to put them in the crab farm and let them mature before laying eggs. This way, the crab farm could spread out. These crabs were the seed crabs that they prepared.
After the Rock Spirit Crabs that were dormant left the trays, it didn't take long for them to move. Then all of them crawled towards the sea. When Zhao Hai and the others saw the Rock Spirit Crabs move, they relaxed. Then Zhao Hai called the people in charge of the crab farm and told them to take care of the crab farm. Then he led the people out of the crab farm.
Although there wasn't anything earth-shattering happening in the crab seedlings this time, everyone was very happy because they saw hope.
After everyone returned to Tideviewing City, Zhao Hai called Wen Wenhai and the others to the conference room. He looked at them and said, "Wenhai, I'll be going into seclusion for a period of time. During this time, I'll leave the matters of the Tideviewing Gang to you. Wenhai, you'll be in charge. Old Tang, Little Guang, and the Hou Brothers, you'll help Wenhai. Chun Ming, you'll train the people we selected. These people aren't suitable for magic arts, but they're very talented in martial arts. You'll train them well. Chen Yan, I'll give you a task. You need to use your ability to establish a channel for the Tideviewing Gang to communicate with the outside world. Remember, no matter what method you use, you must establish this channel. But you must not let others know that you're a member of the Tideviewing Gang. This is because in the future, our Cultivation Methods, pills, and artifacts will all be sold through this channel. Because of this, this channel is very important for us. In order to establish this channel, you can mobilize all the resources in the gang. Whether it's crystal stones or people, we can provide them to you first. I just want to see the results. Do you understand?"
When Chen Yan heard Zhao Hai, he immediately stood up and said with a solemn expression, "Yes. Don't worry, I understand."
"Channels are important, but what's more important is your safety. I don't want anything to happen to you. You can use those brokers and give them benefits, but you must ensure your safety." Zhao nodded, then waved his hand and asked him to sit down. "Channels are important, but what's more important is your safety.
Chen Yan replied, "Yes, Don. I'll pay attention to my safety."
Zhao Hai turned to Feng Jingan and said, "Jingan, the matter you're responsible for is also very important. Because Chen Yan has to establish a channel, he can't do anything else. In the future, the Tidewatering Gang's intelligence collection will fall on your head. My requirements for you are the same. Prioritize the supply of materials, people, and items. As for our intelligence, especially about the nearby forces, and even the entire Sword Spirit Realm, you need to collect as much as you can. The more, the better. However, pay attention to your own safety."
Feng Jingan cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "Yes, Don't worry."
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Today, I'll let you know. My strength has reached the Qi Refining Realm. If there's anything you can't solve outside, then come back and tell me. I'll think of a solution. Don't force it. The Tidewatch Gang has just been established, so there are a lot of things we need to do. However, everything must be done with safety as the priority. Understood?"
Everyone replied in unison, "Yes. Don't worry, Don't worry. We'll pay more attention."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "If someone from the Spirit Crab Island comes, then you must receive them well. Don't neglect them. If they want to go to the crab farm, then that's fine. If they ask, then just tell them what we've discussed. In short, don't let them know that we're breeding Rock Spirit Crabs. As for the spirit rice, you can let them take a look, but don't let them know that we're brewing wine. In any case, we'll be sending the spirit rice to the Spirit Crab Island. If they want to see it, then let them see it."
Everyone nodded, then Zhao Hai said, "If the person from Spirit Crab Island is called Xiao Yi, then Wen Hai, you can go and wake him up. When I went to Spirit Crab Island last time, I had some interactions with this Xiao Yi. This person's strength is extraordinary, and his bearing is excellent. He's a person worth befriending. Moreover, we also need to make friends with people from Spirit Crab Island. Xiao Yi is a suitable candidate. Alright, that's all, you can leave."
Everyone nodded and then turned around to leave.
