"Sea map? Of course there is. Otherwise, the sea is ten times larger than the land, and it's not as easy to identify as the various terrains on land. Without the sea map, it's easy to get lost in the boundless ocean and die trapped. "
Hearing Hong Yi suddenly mention the sea map, Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue looked at each other, as if they knew what Hong Yi was planning. "Our Yinzhou Yaochi's sea map is the most detailed. There are a total of twenty-eight countries in the sea, all kinds of uninhabited deserted islands, reefs, places where undercurrents converge, places where the water is flat, places where sharks, vicious whales, flood dragons, sea pythons, ferocious sea monsters and sea beasts appear and disappear, all of them are marked in detail. If you have our sea map, at least the chance of a ship being annihilated in the boundless ocean will be reduced by fifty percent! "
Hearing the two women's conversation, Hong Yi only remained silent. The light from the bonfire shone on his expressionless face, no one knew what he was thinking.
Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue stared at him without blinking. These two's souls were now controlled by Hong Yi's thoughts, so they couldn't help but worry about Hong Yi's every thought.
"Can you provide me with a detailed sea map of the Southern Sea, the more detailed the better. Also, recently, the pirates and pirates are running rampant in the Southern Sea, but you silver merchants do business on the sea all year round, so you should know about the information. I wonder if you can provide me with some detailed information? "
Hong Yi thought for a while, then suddenly spoke, which startled Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue.
"Of course, if you think there's a price, I can buy it with silver." Hong Yi raised his head, and spat out a few words from his throat, "How about it?"
Hua Nongying looked at Hong Yi's face, and suddenly asked bluntly, "Logically, the lives of us sisters are in your hands, why do you need to go through so much trouble? If you want sea charts, intelligence, and iron-armored airships, we can give them to you. There's no way you can resist. "
Hong Yi waved his hand. The light from the fire shone on his face. There was no greed, and he gave off a feeling of integrity. "I always leave a way out when I do things. I don't push people to the brink. Business was business, and transactions were transactions. Of course, you have to give me some convenience and benefits. You can't let me suffer any losses. Let me say this first. In this situation, I have control over you, so I naturally have to take advantage of you in this transaction. However, I can't let you lose everything. "
Hong Yi's words were clear. He was now in control of the situation. If he made a deal with the two of them, he would definitely take advantage of them, but he wouldn't go too far.
Silver merchants did business overseas all year round. They had sophisticated sea charts, powerful iron-armored airships, and secret intelligence on pirates and pirates. If Hong Yi had all these, he would be able to take advantage of them as an officer in the Pacification Navy. He would have an irresistible force!
Otherwise, even though he had a few experts by his side with bows and crossbows, and he didn't lack money, rations, and horses, he would still be a motley crew. When he encountered a strong enemy, he would be annihilated immediately.
Moreover, it wasn't that there weren't people fighting for credit in the army. In the Pacification Navy, there were many descendants of nobles and nobles who were officials. Some were commanders, some were generals, and some were even commanders. It was impossible to carve out a path to nobility under the encirclement of these people without great wealth, manpower, intelligence, and personal strength.
Over the years, there were many people in the army who killed people, shot arrows, and used underhanded knives to snatch credit.
Hong Yi had to consider these things along the way.
Especially when fighting on the sea, it was different from fighting on land. In a sea battle, even a single Wu Sheng wouldn't be of much use. Therefore, all the preparations had to be done extremely well.
Hong Yi was lacking in financial resources and manpower. He had no choice but to seize every opportunity to accumulate his strength to fight for Prince Yu's throne, to seek justice for his mother, and to annihilate the Zhao Family and the Daluo Sect to take revenge.
"Alright then. When we reach the Shuiyang Prefecture of the South Province, I will give you the sea chart of the Seven Seas of the South Province and the area tens of thousands of miles in radius. In addition, I will also give you the latest information on the pirates. However, we are still doing business at sea. It might take a few months before we can reach the port, so we can't rent it to you for the time being. However, we have a small iron-armored airship that can carry 80 people. We can provide you with five of them."
Hua Nongying was silent for a while before he spoke.
"Small iron-armored airships that can carry 80 people? How much do you want for one? " Hearing this, Hong Yi was instantly delighted. He calculated and said, "When I joined the army, I was just a captain at first, so I can only command 100 people. This kind of small ship is more than enough."
"It's not easy to make these small iron-armored airships. The cost is at least thirty thousand taels of silver. We won't sell them to outsiders. Even if Prince He's people buy them, it'll be eighty thousand taels of silver each. But you can just give us the cost price. "Hua Nongying hurriedly said.
"Alright then, it's settled." Hong Yi nodded readily. "When we reach the Shuiyang Town, we'll trade."
"In that case, we'll go back first." Saying this, Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue looked at each other and stood up.
…
After finalizing this deal with the two Hall Chiefs of the Yaochi school's Flower Moon Hall, Hong Yi was in a good mood.
The surrounding people also relaxed. After leaving some people to keep watch for the night, they all went into their own tents to sleep.
After sitting cross-legged for a while, Hong Yi also went into his own tent.
As soon as he entered the cowhide tent, he saw the Golden Spider lying comfortably on the silk mat with its eight limbs stretched out. It looked like it was sleeping comfortably.
Cough!
Hong Yi coughed. The Golden Spider immediately turned over and got up. Its eyes rolled, and then it said, "What do you want?"
"I just want to talk to you." Hong Yi raised his chin. "In addition, you have to pay part of the employment fee."
"You want me to pass on the secret of the Dragon Elephant Seal to you now? Alright then. Although you're powerful now, you're definitely not my grandfather's match. If my grandfather finds me in the future, you won't be able to protect me. Alright, I'll give you the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva Temple and the Dragon Elephant Seal now. "The Golden Spider's eyes rolled for a long time before it opened its mouth.
"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony. Please go ahead."
Hong Yi didn't stand on ceremony. He sat on the ground and watched how the Golden Spider was going to perform.
Suddenly, the Golden Spider stopped moving. At the same time, a chilly wind rolled up from inside the tent.
Hong Yi knew that the Golden Spider had escaped. Therefore, he also flew out of his body and saw the golden-robed girl with beautiful eyebrows and eyes.
"The Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva is the power of stepping on the golden dragon and the white elephant! At the same time, this Bodhisattva is also the posture of you humans. The Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva represents the existence of power between heaven and earth. "
Just as the Golden Spider was speaking, the scene in front of Hong Yi changed. The Golden Body Bodhisattva with one foot stepping on the golden dragon and the other foot stepping on the white elephant appeared again. Its muscles were bulging, and its eyes were bulging with anger. It was as if all the power between heaven and earth was gathered in one body.
However, this time, Hong Yi didn't use visualization to break it. Instead, he carefully felt the pressure of this Bodhisattva's power on his soul.
Looking at this Bodhisattva's power, Hong Yi felt weak and powerless to resist it.
Because the other party's power was too strong! Too pure!
Looking at this Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva's power, Hong Yi couldn't feel anything other than pure power.
Because of this, it was even more terrifying.
Be it Yaksha Of Baekje or Shura Of Gojoseon, when they visualized it, they also felt the power. However, the power wasn't pure. Some of them were cruel, violent, evil, and mighty. They were far from the pure power of this Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva's power.
At the same time, the Golden Spider chanted a profound scripture. It was a scripture that matched the image of the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva.
Because to cultivate this supernatural power, other than visualizing the image, one also needed to understand the profound scripture and deepen their understanding of this supernatural power.
Without the scripture, it was impossible to learn it just by having the image. Similarly, without the image, just having the scripture was useless.
Pictures and text were abundant, and one needed to have a good understanding to cultivate the supernatural power.
Martial arts and Dao techniques were all the same.
Hong Yi listened to this long and profound scripture and immediately memorized it. After cultivating to the Day Wandering Realm, he had the ability to memorize everything he saw.
However, even though he memorized this scripture, Hong Yi found it hard to understand. He knew that the scripture was profound and needed time to comprehend and figure it out.
"The Dragon Elephant Seal has three forms. The first is the Heavenly Dragon Seal, the second is the Giant Elephant Seal, and the third is the Prajna Seal. These three forms each have a set of incantations, pronunciations, and postures. They can be used to train the marrow, and can also be used against enemies … "
After telling the Great Mighty Dragon Visualization's scripture and image to Hong Yi, the Golden Spider also recited the incantations, pronunciations, and postures of the three major seals of the Dragon Elephant Seal.
Even though this set of martial arts only had three forms, to Hong Yi, it sounded ten times more complicated and profound than the Ox Demon's Fist of Great Strength and the Tiger Demon's Bone Training Fist.
Until the sky brightened and more than six hours had passed, Hong Yi finally managed to memorize this set of fist technique.
He could not practice it anymore, because Hong Yi had not reached the Grandmaster Realm. At the Grandmaster Realm, only by punching with strength and shaking the marrow could the effect be achieved.
If Hong Yi practiced it now, even if he practiced it ten thousand times, it would be useless. This was because his strength could not penetrate the marrow at all.
"I don't know when I can practice this marrow training secret. However, since I accepted this Golden Spider's secret technique, I really have to bear the consequences in the future … If the Golden Spider King comes looking for me, I wonder what kind of supernatural power he will have? "
In the early morning, the desolate grass on the roadside was covered with dew. After getting up, Hong Yi thought to himself while ordering his men to pack up and set off.
There were no more disturbances along the way. On the morning of the third day, Hong Yi and the others finally finished the ancient road of Nanzhou and entered the first province in the south, the Shuiyang City.
The Shuiyang Province was close to the three hundred miles of Lake Tai, which was rich in resources, fish, and rice. From Lake Tai, one could sail out to the sea, and from the upper reaches of Lake Tai to the Bailang River, many materials from the south could be transported to other places. Therefore, there were many ports in the province, and there were many prosperous towns where goods were transferred. With the Shuiyang City as the center, the towns radiated out like a chessboard.
What was more prosperous was that it was the center of silk production, and the whole silk production office of the Da Qian was located here.
All kinds of silk taxes, business taxes, customs fees, fish taxes, and other miscellaneous taxes were collected, and the annual tax revenue reached millions of taels.
The tax revenue of this province was equivalent to ten times that of Wu Yuansheng!
Therefore, the seven provinces of Nanzhou were the wealthiest in the world, and the Shuiyang Province was the wealthiest province in Nanzhou.
After arriving at the Shuiyang Province, Hong Yi and the others didn't enter the city. Instead, they rested in a town called Qingliu Town outside the city.
"The Inspector-General of the Shui Yang Province is Hong Kang, a high-ranking official of the frontier. Although he is my half-brother, he is very shrewd. I have killed Zhao Feirong of the Daluo, and the hatred between us is absolutely irreconcilable. If he knows about this, he will definitely not let me go. You all have to be careful. Rest for a day, and wait for Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying to send us the sea maps, intelligence, and iron-armored airships. After that, we will take the waterway from Lake Tai, and report to the headquarters of the Pacification Navy in Linhai Province, without passing by the Shuiyang Province. "
"Yes!"
Hearing Hong Yi's order, the entourage obeyed. Some fed the horses, some fed the dogs, some looked after the luggage, some practiced martial arts, and the Golden Spider was soaking in it. Everything was in order.
Hong Yi also rested for an hour. When he got up, he saw Mu The Younger was filling a copper basin with milk, and the Golden Spider was soaking in it, looking very comfortable.
The two of them chatted here and there.
For some reason, Mu The Younger and the Arachnida Gigantea often chatted.
"Mu The Younger is too lonely. She is the only girl accompanying him. Now, she finally has a companion. Although this Golden Spider is a monster, she has cultivated the soul of a girl. It won't be lonely when the two of them talk."
Hong Yi was also happy when he saw all this.
He had long seen that although this Golden Spider was a monster, in terms of temperament, it was similar to those rebellious little girls who ran away. It was just right for Mu The Younger. Moreover, this Golden Spider had obtained a powerful inheritance. By chatting with Mu The Younger, Mu The Younger would definitely gain a lot of benefits.
The Golden Spider King was one of the eight great Demonic Immortals in the world. His martial arts were mysterious and unfathomable. In particular, when he traveled around the world, he secretly learned the martial arts of various sects and sects. Later, he became the State Preceptor of Rouran. He had a high position and power. Of course, he would spare no effort to teach his granddaughter.
Hong Yi suspected that this Golden Spider knew much more than he knew.
At night, the two sisters, Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue, finally arrived.
When they came, they brought eight girls who looked strong and clever at first glance. All of them were at the Martial Warrior level, and they were all fifteen or sixteen years old. Hong Yi looked at these eight girls and knew that each of them had the skills to defeat four or five big men. He was secretly surprised.
"The physique and temperament of these eight girls are a level higher than Marquis Wu Wen's purple jade, blue jade, red jade, and yellow jade." After Hong Yi saw clearly, he secretly nodded in his heart.
With these eight girls serving Mu The Younger, it was almost enough.
"These girls were trained by our Flower Moon Hall. They have been orphans since they were young. They practice our Yaochi school's' Nine Twists Consecutive Boxing '. They are the most loyal and capable." Hua Nongyue looked at Hong Yi and said, "They were originally my personal maidservants, the Silver Moon Guards. Their names are easy to remember. Silver Moon, Silver Rain, Silver Cloud, Silver Ying, Silver Beauty, Silver Sword, Silver Wind, Silver Language. Wind, Rain, Cloud, Moon, Graceful Sword, Language. "
