Money?
What Tan Xiu lacked the most right now was money. He wanted to transform Nine Dragons Island, and the funds he needed was a terrifying amount. The money in his card was simply not enough. Therefore, he was still thinking about where to get the money when he called Long Zhengyu.
However …
The transformation of Nine Dragons Island was not something that could be done in a short time. If he was given some time, maybe the Magnificent Tang Corp could start to make a profit. With a steady stream of funds, he might not need to worry about funds in the future.
"You came to see me? Is there something you need?"
Tan Xiu changed the subject.
"Well, I called you to have a meal," said Yi Lianyan with a smile. "I wanted to find you for breakfast, but I couldn't find you. It's already noon, so I came here to try my luck. I didn't expect you to really be here. "
"Let's go!" Tan Xiu nodded. "Let's go back and have a meal."
At this time.
The corpses in the castle were gathered and burned to ashes. Those who were captured by the pirates were sent back. As for those who died here, their corpses were also taken away. As for how to settle them, it was up to those who left.
Furthermore!
For the whole morning, Wolf Head and the others were cleaning and picking up the broken things. After some simple cleaning, the place looked a lot cleaner and tidier.
After lunch.
Tan Xiu looked at Yi Lianyan, who was cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks. He then gestured to Wolf Head and the two of them came to the palace gate.
"What's your order, Boss?"
"I'm going to leave Nine Dragons Island and go back to Saipan to handle some things," said Tan Xiu. "I'll leave this place to you."
"Don't worry!" said Wolf Head.
"If that Yi Lianyan girl wants to stay here, then let her stay," said Tan Xiu. "Let her do the laundry and cook for you if she wants to. Also, you're to re-investigate the entire island during my absence. If there are other people, immediately arrest them and wait for me to come back to deal with them. If not, you'll be stationed here. I believe it won't be long before the engineering team comes. "
"We'll be stationed here later," said Wolf Head. "However, we have too few manpower, so it'll be difficult to guard the entire island."
"Yeah!" Tan Xiu sighed. I don't have enough people under me. "
Wolf Head's expression shifted and he quickly said, "Do you want me to go back to China, Boss? Pick another group of people? I know of some powerful characters who haven't retired for long. The longest is only one or two years. Also, they used to be special forces. If they train well, their strength can continue to improve. "
Tan Xiu's expression changed, and he asked, "Compared to you, how are those people?"
Wolf Head said, "A few of them are not weaker than me! The others can also be mentioned in the same breath as my team members. "
"No problem." Tan Xiu decisively said, "Then go and handle this matter. The defense of the island was left to others. Remember, it's fine even if the person you bring is slightly weaker. I need them to be of good character. Furthermore, since they're here, they're my subordinates. They must be absolutely loyal to me. "
"I can guarantee that." Wolf Head nodded. "But regarding the treatment …"
Tan Xiu stared blankly for a moment. Then, he looked at Wolf Head with a strange expression and said with a forced smile, "It seems that I didn't talk much about the treatment when I brought you here, did I? It seems that I haven't given you a penny so far. Alright then! I'll give each of you 500,000 yuan a year! As for the people you brought, I'll give each of them 300,000 yuan a year. If they perform well in the first year, they'll receive the same treatment as you in the second year. "
"Got it," said Wolf Head with a smile.
"I'll transfer 20 million yuan to your card after I return to Saipan," said Tan Xiu. "Just tell me when you run out of money. If you need to add any equipment here, don't hesitate to tell me. We can't be stingy as long as it's necessary. "
The smile on Wolf Head's face turned thicker. He suddenly realized that it was a wise choice to follow Tan Xiu. Not only did he have a wonderful life by following him, but he could also kill criminals and pirates. The life under the rain of bullets made him find the hot-bloodedness he had in the past. In addition, there was sufficient funding for them.
"Boss, don't worry. I will definitely help you train a group of elite warriors."
Tan Xiu waved his hand and said, "There's no problem with it according to the military discipline. But you can't teach them martial arts training. You have to listen to Mo Awen's arrangements here. He was strong enough, and his brain was smart enough. I will leave this place to him for the time being. "
"Yes!"
Wolf Head had no objection to Tan Xiu's words. He had seen Mo Awen's strength and knew how terrifying Mo Awen was in the past. Therefore, being led by Mo Awen, he was absolutely convinced.
Tan Xiu asked, "Where are the ships left behind by the pirates? I circled the island in the morning and didn't find any pirate ships! "
Wolf Head said with a smile, "Their ship didn't stop at the port, but at a deep bay. When those people came here, they were afraid that there was danger on the island, so they didn't dare to land openly. We've checked them. There are a total of three ships, and one of them is an old warship. I don't know where they got it, but each ship is equipped with weapons. "
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "As pirates who have survived for so many years, their background is not bad. If we encounter them at sea, I'm afraid it won't be easy to kill them. We might even be sunk by the weapons on their ships. "
Wolf Head nodded and said, "That's right. Pirates can roam the sea unhindered, so they have the capital to do so. Boss, the passenger ship you took to Nine Dragons Island has already transported the residents of South Bird Island. I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to return to Saipan. The signs of those pirate ships are too obvious. I'm afraid you'll be sunk by the patrolling warships before you reach Saipan. "
Tan Xiu slightly furrowed his brows and hesitated for a moment. Then, he slowly said, "Can you temporarily modify the ship?"
Wolf Head shook his head and said, "It won't be easy. After all, there are a lot of weapons on it, and it will take a few days to dismantle them. "
"Forget it, then." Tan Xiu forced a smile and said, "If that's the case, then I'll wait for two more days! I'll rush to Saipan after the passenger ship comes back. "
At night.
Tan Xiu sat cross-legged on the roof of the palace, silently cultivating. The star force stored in his body was getting thicker and thicker, and he could break through to the Flesh Strengthening stage at any time. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cross that hurdle.
It wasn't until four in the morning that he left the roof of the palace and came to the end of the path leading to the port of Nine Dragons Island. There, he sat cross-legged on the Spirit Spring.
Yesterday, he discovered the existence of Supreme Emperor Purple Qi. Therefore, he wanted to give it a try and see if it would still exist today. If it did, he would be able to absorb the Supreme Emperor Purple Qi.
Time fleeted by.
The red sun rose and the first ray of sunlight shone on the sea. A wisp of Supreme Emperor Purple Qi came from the eastern sky and instantly fused into Tan Xiu's head.
"Boom …"
Tan Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged in cultivation, felt his body tremble and his mind seemed to be split open by an invisible force. Immediately afterward, a wisp of Supreme Emperor Purple Qi rushed into his Sea of Consciousness and swam downstream. In just a dozen breaths, it had already swam several times in Tan Xiu's meridians.
"Collect!"
With great difficulty, Tang Xiu's consciousness enveloped the Supreme Emperor Purple Qi and pulled it into his Dantian by relying on the tearing force. The star force in his Dantian continuously approached the Supreme Emperor Purple Qi, trying to wrap it up.
However!
The Supreme Emperor Purple Qi had a strong repulsive force. It struggled again and again and almost broke through the star force's encirclement several times. Gradually, the Supreme Emperor Purple Qi seemed to have adapted to the existence of the star force and its struggle became much weaker. As the star force approached, the Supreme Emperor Purple Qi shrank into a ball the size of a thumb.
"Fuse!"
Tan Xiu gritted his teeth and controlled the star force to squeeze the ball of Supreme Emperor Purple Qi. It took a full ten minutes, when the star force and the Supreme Emperor Purple Qi were completely in contact, finally, the repulsive force of the Supreme Emperor Purple Qi dissipated and merged with the star force.
HUM …
Tan Xiu felt that at this moment, his body seemed to be ignited, his blood became boiling, and his internal organs were washed and tempered by waves of invisible energy. The energy in the skin layer became more compact. Although the thickness was reduced, the toughness became stronger.
Tan Xiu's divine sense had been paying attention to his body.
To his ecstasy, because of the Supreme Emperor Purple Qi, his body was undergoing a crazy transformation, and his internal organs were constantly tempered, nourished, and became stronger. His tendons and bones became more flexible and strong. The muscles all over his body began to split apart.
Each cell would split into two and then into four. The weaker cells were mercilessly expelled from the body, while the stronger cells were left behind. Even the number of muscle cell layers began to increase during the cell division.
Every cell had become stronger than before, and every layer of cells had become thicker than before. In fact, the number of cell layers had doubled in just half an hour.
Although there was no change in Tan Xiu's size on the surface, his physical strength had skyrocketed several times at this time. If someone shot at Tan Xiu at this time, he might not even be able to break his skin. At most, he would leave a mark on it.
"Hahaha …"
The moment Tan Xiu opened his eyes, a carefree laughter came out of his mouth. As his body jumped up, he was instantly on the surface of the sea.
Tossing!
Slapping the waves!
The joy of the breakthrough made Tan Xiu indulge himself for a few minutes, and then he returned to the spiritual spring, dripping wet. He found that when he was cultivating, the spiritual power in the spiritual spring would also be continuously extracted into his body. Moreover, what surprised him most was that because of the extraction of spiritual power, his speed of absorbing the power of the stars and the sun was faster than before.
