Zuo Mo finally understood, and bowed humbly with folded hands, "Shixiong, excuse me."
Everyone took a jade scroll from Zuo Shixiong. Inside were the missions that they needed to complete.
Zuo Mo could not imagine how dumb the people of Heart Lake Sword Sect were. Heavens, sitting on such a treasure land and not doing anything!
These missions were all kinds and extremely strange. Ling plant farmers would be required to plant some special ling grasses and ling plants at a specific place on the island. The keepers would usually be arranged to raise some special ling insects and beasts, and Zuo Mo would specially divide out areas for them.
In this era of skyrocketing prices, a bottle of Energy Dan wasn't cheap. Everyone found that following Zuo Shixiong wasn't so bad. Following a generous shixiong, they wouldn't lose out too much. Even more, Zuo Shixiong was a core disciple.
"Let's go down." Zuo Mo glanced and moved Silly Bird under him to descend first.
Zuo Mo nodded. He looked into the distance. A lone island appeared in the distance.
Zuo Mo did not care. Stepping onto the Desolate Wood Reef, he found that the island was much larger than he had imagined.
He had already decided that even if a mosquito went by, he would scrape a few drops of oil off!
"Most of us here do production. But think about it, is there a place in the sect that you can peacefully produce? This place might be desolate, but there is no conflict. For us, this is a good place! Desolate? What are you afraid of, we can change it ourselves! I'll first say the rules. On this Desolate Wood Reef, like the ling fields, whoever clears it, whoever plants it, whoever plants it gets it. I won't draw, the sect won't draw! Other than that, the sect benefits that you are entitled to will not change. "
The people that followed Zuo Mo felt they had gained face. Even the disciples of Heart Lake Sword Sect were familiar with Zuo Shixiong's name. They felt honored. Wu Kong Sword Sect had just expanded. Compared to those large sects with deep foundations, the attitude of the disciples was lacking.
He didn't have any complaints about being sent to the Desolate Wood Reef, but was very happy. The atmosphere in the sect was not harmonious, and the shixiong and shimei that he was familiar with were not present. It was better to leave. The Desolate Wood Reef might be remote and desolate, but it was far from the sky. The conflicts in the sect would not affect this far away. He was happy to be free.
Which Pulse Condensation Period disciple would listen to him?
As expected, after seven or eight vital energy pills were eaten, Silly Bird recovered her usual arrogance. Her neck was raised high, her upper body motionless, her two slender bird legs forming an elegant posture as she leisurely paced along the beach.
It was not easy to cross the Border River. It could take a few months, or even a few years. The Desolate Wood Reef was the only supply point before entering the jie river. The opportunity had come.
The shidi looked with envy at Silly Bird. Even a blind person could see Silly Bird's beauty.
It was true that the Desolate Wood Reef was a treasure land. It was a good idea to sit and collect jingshi, but there was a prerequisite. That was having enough power as a guarantee.
That would depend on the will of the heavens!
Most of them were digging ditches and canals, which puzzled almost everyone.
"Time is a crystal! No one wants to waste crystals, right? Here, I have a plan … "
Some careful practitioners even found that Brother Zuo hadn't appeared for two days.
This was what he was directing everyone to do.
After personally making the trip, Zuo Mo increasingly felt the superiority of the Desolate Wood Reef's environment. The journey that was supposed to take two months took one month to cross the ocean. Supposedly, there were extremely vicious water yao beasts in the Endless Ocean. Very few people would choose to travel through the water.
He guessed that after a while, there would be a continuous stream of people going from the jie river to Little Mountain Jie.
"Starting from today, for a very long time, we will have to guard this place where even birds don't shit." Zuo Mo's words were vulgar, but the first sentence made everyone feel the same.
After resting for two days, everyone had completely recovered.
"However, even though this place is desolate, no one will disturb us. It can be considered a pure land. You all know the foul atmosphere in the sect. Even I find it troublesome. If you want to stay here and protect yourselves, that's a dream! "When Zuo Mo said this, everyone had different expressions.
The situation was so bad, the number of xiuzhe coming and going would increase greatly.
Where did Zuo Shixiong go?
After flying continuously for two months, even Silly Bird was slightly exhausted. The steeds of the other shidi were even worse off. Zuo Mo took out a bottle of lingdan. This was the Energy Dan he had made. The grade was not high, only second-grade. However, it was easy to make, and the cost was not high. He might as well make a batch. Silly Bird liked to eat it. It tasted like beans when chewed on. The effect was pretty good when used to recover stamina.
However, this place was too desolate.
As they flew closer and the entire island entered his eyes, Zuo Mo couldn't help but sigh inside.
"I guessed that you would arrive in the next few days. Oh, we have finished packing. Starting from today, the Desolate Wood Reef will be given to Brother Zuo. This jade scroll contains some of our experiences from guarding this place. I hope it will be of help to Brother Zuo. Goodbye. " That person raised his hands towards Zuo Mo. He seemed to not want to stay here a moment longer. The other people also raised their hands towards Zuo Mo and then turned to leave.
It had to be said that the commission for renting ling fields from the sect was very high.
They exchanged glances and smiled. That person said, "The mirage jade scroll of Brother Zuo's fight with Chao An might be rare, but this one was lucky enough to obtain one and was able to recognize Brother Zuo."
The people he had picked were all zhuji. Basically, they were all production xiuzhe.
They copied Zuo Mo and took out Energy Dan to feed to their steeds. However, they were still slightly reluctant and only fed two pills at most. Before leaving, Zuo Mo had given each person a bottle of Energy Dan, about fifty or so pills.
"Really?" Excitement appeared on the faces of the people. Before, they had felt that this place was desolate and remote, and had been very unwilling. Hearing Zuo Mo say this, they instantly became excited. They were all production xiuzhe, and had no interest in fighting and killing in the first place. It was hard to clear ling fields, but as long as it was cleared, it belonged to them. The things that were grown did not need to be taken by the sect.
The other people quickly followed.
That was exactly what he had in mind.
"Shixiong, in front of us is the Desolate Wood Reef," a shidi pointed excitedly.
When Zuo Mo said this, everyone believed even more. At least, Zuo Shixiong did not speak carelessly. For xiuzhe, it was just a bit more effort to traverse barren hills and wild rivers. Most of the xiuzhe that were involved in production were able to endure hardship.
Just at this time, several xiuzhe suddenly flew out of the island.
The speed of the exchange surprised Zuo Mo.
"Are you Wu Kong Sword Sect Shixiong?" one of them shouted.
Zuo Mo knew that time was tight. There wasn't much time left for him.
Before, the Desolate Wood Reef had not attracted attention, but now that the situation was worsening, the location of the Desolate Wood Reef had quickly become important. In comparison, Little Mountain Jie was even more remote. It had even fewer jie rivers than Sky Moon Jie, only two.
What did Zuo Shixiong want to do?
Want to resupply here? Sure! Hee hee, tolls … … lodging fees … … replenishment fees … … that, whatever … …
There was plenty of moisture on the Desolate Wood Reef. The effect of water element spells like [Little Art of Cloud and Rain] was multiplied. There was no need to dig ditches. The ditches that Zuo Shixiong had requested to be dug almost covered the entire island, criss-crossing, and all connected.
Zuo Mo called everyone over.
Zuo Mo had his own judgment. It was because Little Mountain Jie was remote, but it was further away from Bloody Sky Metropolis Jie. In other words, if the situation was extremely bad and they needed to retreat, going from Little Mountain Jie to Sky Water Jie was a pretty good choice.
Actually, he had been wrong about this. Little Mountain Jie only had two jie rivers. One led to Sky Moon Jie, the other to Sky Water Jie. Sky Moon Jie was not as prosperous as Sky Water Jie. Due to this, the jie river between Sky Moon Jie and Little Mountain Jie was rarely visited by people. For Heart Lake Sword Sect, the Desolate Wood Reef was too far away. It was a wasteland. They naturally would not focus on managing it.
"Shixiong knows me?" Zuo Mo was slightly surprised.
Zuo Mo shrugged. "As long as I'm still here, there definitely isn't a problem. If the sect changes people, then I can't do anything. "
Everyone was slightly excited. After flying continuously for more than two months, they had finally reached their destination. Everyone released a long breath.
If it wasn't that Heart Lake Sword Sect almost had to cross the entire Sky Moon Jie from here, and they possessed multiple jie rivers, they definitely would not give up such an important stronghold as the Desolate Wood Reef. But even so, the sect would definitely pay a great price.
"Yes!" Zuo Mo bowed. He was preparing to take out the token. He hadn't expected the other to smile first and wave his hand. "Since Brother Zuo has personally come, there's no need to investigate the token."
"We are going to settle down here." Zuo Mo swept his gaze across everyone and said faintly, "Everyone rest for two days. We will start work the day after tomorrow."
Zuo Mo shook his head and threw these messy thoughts to the back of his mind. Something that even the sect leader couldn't handle, why should he waste his efforts. In the end, he decided to take care of his own territory.
The manpower and resources that Heart Lake Sword Sect had invested in the Desolate Wood Reef were extremely limited. Other than a few stone houses, there was nothing else on the island. The shidi that had come with him did not speak, but their faces were much dimmer. The desolation of this place was even worse than they had imagined.
What Zuo Mo had chosen this time were disciples from small sects that had not been in for more than a month. They had just joined and hadn't been pulled into the factions of the sect yet. As to those disciples that were more famous in the sect, Zuo Mo didn't want any of them.
In any case, in the short term, the sect definitely wouldn't have the time to pay attention to him. Watching coldly from the side, he finally understood. The sect looked strong now, but before the sect leader had digested the newly recruited power, it was just a facade. The sect leader definitely could see this. However, it would depend on whether there was enough time for him to completely digest the power.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm rise, Zuo Mo decided to strike while the iron was hot.
Seeing the Desolate Wood Reef, Zuo Mo understood why the sect was interested in such a desolate place. The Desolate Wood Reef was situated in the depths of the Endless Ocean, by the jie river. If one wanted to go to Little Mountain Jie, this was the path they had to pass. The Endless Ocean required a long flight. After flying to this point, one would be exhausted. The importance of the Desolate Wood Reef's geographical location was obvious. This place could allow one to rest and build up their energy in preparation for crossing the jie river.
