Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 309: Breakthrough
Rich?
The thing that Tang Xiu lacked the most right now was money. Rebuilding Nine Dragon Island alone required a terrifying amount. However, the amount he had was not enough. Therefore, his mind was filled with ideas where he could earn more when he called Long Zhengyu.
However, rebuilding Nine Dragons Island was not a project that could be completed in a short period of time. Given time, the Magnificent Tang Corp might start making a profit. With stable financial support, perhaps he would not have to worry about money later.
“So, what do you need me for?” Tang Xiu said to change the subject.
“If this is not for eating, then what?” Yi Lianyan said with a smile. “I tried to find you for breakfast, but I couldn't find you anywhere. It's noon now, so I'm trying my luck to come here. However, never thought you were really here. ”
“Come back and have breakfast first,” Tang Xiu said with a nod.
At this moment, all the corpses in the castle had been collected and burned. The people captured by the pirates had been sent back when the dead were taken away. As for how those who left would resettle and what they wanted to do, it was up to them.
As Wolf Head and the others had been cleaning the castle all morning as well as handling the broken things, it now looked much more neat and orderly.
After lunch, while watching Yi Lianyan who was quickly cleaning the tableware, Tang Xiu gave Wolf Head a hand signal as the two then headed towards the castle gate.
“What's your order, Boss?”
“I will leave the Island of the Nine Dragons to return to Saipan and handle some things there. So this place will be yours to manage, ” Tang Xiu said.
“Do not worry, Boss!” Wolf Head said.
“If the girl is — Yi Lianyan wants to stay here, let her and take care of her. He also does laundry and cooking. Also, you should investigate the entire island while I'm gone. If anyone else is here, arrest them immediately and wait for me to come back to handle it. If not, then you should stay alert. I believe that it will take some time before the construction project team arrives here, ” Tang Xiu said.
“Good. We will be stationed here, but it will be very difficult to keep the whole island because we have too few personnel, “ Wolf Head said.
“I know, I have too few people under Me,” Tang Xiu said with a sigh.
Wolf Head's face flickered as he quickly said, “Bos, aren't you going back to the mainland to pick a group of people? If so, I know some strong from the special forces who have just retired in the past year or two. Their strength can continue to increase if they are trained properly. ”
Tang Xiu's expression moved, “How do they compare to you?”
“Some of them are not weaker than me! And the rest is on par with my team, ” Wolf Head said.
“Good. Then, you will deal with the matter and give the defensive duties to the others. I don't mind if the person you brought here is a little weaker, but I want them to have good character. Also, I ask for absolute loyalty from my subordinates. ”
“I can assure you of this. But, about the payment .. ”
For a moment, Tang Xiu looked troubled as he assessed Wolf Head with a strange expression. He then smiled wryly and said, “The first time we met, I remember that we did talk about this matter? Looks like I haven't offered you a dime, have I? Then be it! I'll pay twelve of you 500 grand every year! As for what you will bring, each will be paid 300 thousand per year. If their first year performance is good, then let them know that they will get the same treatment as you since the second year. ”
“Roger it,” Wolf Head chuckles.
“I'll withdraw 20 million when I go to Saipan for you to manage. You can call me when the money runs out. And if there is any equipment that you need to buy, you can also freely tell Me and I will not spare as long as it takes, “ Tang Xiu said.
The smile on Wolf Head's face turned even thicker. He suddenly discovered that following Tang Xiu was a wise choice. The days after following her were beautiful and pleasant. Whether it could kill criminals, slaughter pirates, and live under guns and a hail of bullets, it made him relive the hot-blooded life he had experienced before. Even more so with sufficient funds available to them now.
“Don't worry, Boss. I'll help you train a group of elite soldiers. ”
Tang Xiu waved his hand, “I have no problem about discipline according to military customs, but leave the martial arts training. For that, you will be under Mo Awen's management. He's quite strong and smart, so I'll assign him to manage this place. ”
“Understanding!”
Regarding Tang Xiu's arrangements, Wolf Head himself did not mind. He had seen Mo Awen's strength and knew how frightening he was. Therefore, he was wholeheartedly convinced.
“By the way, I took a walk around the island this morning but I couldn't see the pirate ship. Where are the ships left by the pirates? ”Ask Tang Xiu.
Tang Xiu nodded, “As a pirate, let alone being one for so many years, such a capital is not bad. I'm afraid it's not easy to kill them if we hit them at sea. Maybe we'll even be destroyed and drowned by them. ”
“Yes. For pirates, being able to cross unhindered into the sea indicates that they have capital. By the way, Boss, the yacht that used to sail to the Island of the Nine Dragons is now used to transport the residents of South Bird Island. So it may not be easy for you to go to Saipan because the pirate ship logs are too obvious. If you accept it, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach Saipan because it was attacked and sunk by a patrol warship. ”
Tang Xiu frowned slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he then slowly said, “Can you temporarily modify those ships?”
Wolf Head shook his head, “It won't be easy. They are equipped with many weapons. It took a few days to remove it. ”
Suppressing a wry smile, Tang Xiu said, “Then forget it. I'll wait another two days until the yacht returns before going to Saipan. ”
In the evening.
Above the castle, Tang Xiu sat cross-legged and secretly cultivated. The accumulated star power in his body was getting stronger and he could make a breakthrough to the Meat Strengthening stage at any time. However, no matter how hard he tried, he always failed at the final hurdle.
He was there until 4am and then left the top of the castle to the end point of the road leading to the harbor. There, he sat cross-legged right in the Spirit Spring position.
Yesterday he discovered the existence of the Purple Qi Supreme Emperor here. Therefore, he wanted to try and see if today would also appear for him to absorb it.
Time pass. When the red shining sunrise came and the first sunlight fell into the sea, a stream of Purple Emperor Qi descended from the eastern horizon and instantly fused into Tang Xiu's forehead.
“Blowout..”
Sitting cross-legged and cultivating, Tang Xiu's body gasped. The ocean of his consciousness seemed to have been split apart by an invisible force. Shortly after, the Purple Qi Supreme Emperor channeled himself into his sea of consciousness and flowed downwards. In a dozen short breaths, it had circulated in Tang Xiu's meridians for several times.
‘Rush on Me!’
Tang Xiu's consciousness could barely contain this Emperor Qi Purple Qi. Relying on the effort of tearing apart solely, only then was he drawn into his dantian, the star power within his dantian continued to approach the Purple Qi Emperor, attempting to wrap it up and refine it.
However, the Purple Qi Supreme Emperor unleashed an extremely powerful repulsion force as it struggled and fought against time and time again, almost destroying the enveloping star power several times. Slowly, as if adapting to the presence of star power, the struggling Emperor Purple Qi became lighter. Along with the power of the encroaching star, the stream of Supreme Emperor Purple Qi shrank into a ball the size of a thumb.
‘Fuse!’
Clenching his teeth, Tang Xiu controlled his star power and went as hard as he could to squeeze out this mass of Purple Emperor Qi Emperor. After spending more than ten minutes, the star power and the Purple Qi Supreme Emperor made contact thoroughly as its repelling force finally disappeared and fused into its star power.
“Buzzing..”
Tang Xiu felt as if his body was lit. All the blood in his body — from head to toe — boiling hot while the invisible energy washes away and extinguishes his internal organs. The energy in his skin layer turned more compact and his toughness became stronger despite becoming thinner.
With his spiritual senses, Tang Xiu then checked the internal condition of his body.
A lot of ecstasy, his body was in the midst of a crazy transformation due to the Purple Qi Supreme Emperor. His internal organs were constantly extinguished and rejuvenated, becoming stronger. His tendons and bones became stronger and sturdier while all of his body muscles began to divide nonstop.
Each cell divides into two and then divides into four. The weak cells were ruthlessly expelled from his body while the strong remained. Even the number of cells in the muscle layer begins its increased cell division.
Each cell became stronger and each layer turned thicker than before; the number of cell layers had doubled in just half an hour.
Although Tang Xiu's body did not seem to change looking from his outer appearance, the intensity and strength of his body had risen violently several times. If one shot him, perhaps it would not be able to pierce through his skin and could only leave marks on it.
“Ha ha ha..”
A carefree laugh came out of Tang Xiu's mouth as he opened his eyes. As his body jumped, he had already stepped on the surface of the sea in an instant.
Stir, knock, and spray the sea!
Tang Xiu indulged himself for a few minutes in a breakthrough ecstatic feeling as he then returned, wet and damp, to Spirit Spring. He discovered that, while cultivating, the spiritual power in Spirit Spring would be drawn into his body continuously. Moreover, due to the extraction of spiritual power, his star force absorption speed was faster than before.
