From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 268: Buying a Ship on Jinlu Island (Part )
Shikagami Island Shiso shop.

As soon as Yu Shuyang left the Baochuan Trading Company, he turned around and ran to his own Zhicao Shop. The shop had a small frontage and was half a room separated from the Dongyi Yao's Grain Shop.

The shopkeeper is a part-time waiter, the only one in the whole store. He is also a member of the Yao family and the former warehouse manager of the Yao family grain store.

For the sake of the business of the Yu and Yao families, Yao Jihua specially invited him here at a large price. According to seniority, he is of the same generation as Yao Jihua's father, so he has to call him uncle when they meet.

This man's name was Yao Zezhong. His cultivation was very ordinary, he was only at the middle stage of the eighth rank. He was a tall middle-aged man with a square face and a martial spirit.

Yu Shuyang appeared as a young man this time, wearing a three-piece set of fairy clothes, a gold ring around his neck, and a Yin-Yang fan in his hand.

As soon as he entered the door, Yao Ze finally felt a fresh air. It was a spotless feeling, like the morning sunshine, bright but not dazzling.

"You are the master, Taoist Yu, right?"

Yao Ze finally asked Yao Jihua about it and heard the description that appearance and other things can be transformed. There is no other family in the East China Sea who can wear such robes. After all, there are not many people wearing Taoist robes.

"You're welcome, Manager Yao. I've delivered this month's supply of Zhicao, one million and five hundred thousand kilograms. Where is our warehouse?" Yu Shuyang agreed with a smile, took out the Qiankun bag and asked.

Yao Zezhong pointed to the medicine cabinet behind him and said, "Put your things on the counter. I'll sort them out and pack them directly into the medicine cabinet."

This medicine cabinet was modeled after a medical clinic and was a magical instrument used to store medicinal materials. It contained the six evil spirits and evil prohibitions to prevent insects and mildew, while also nourishing the spiritual roots and precious medicines without losing their magical properties.

The bundle was opened and divided into thirty-six parts, which were then packed into the medicine cabinet one by one. Yao Ze was finally the old man in the warehouse. His hands were like scales, and he filled the medicine cabinets according to the order quantity of each company.

It took only a cup of tea, and he took out the money he had earned from selling the grass in the store for the past two months. It was all packed in money boxes. Each box contained exactly one thousand New Year's coins, forty boxes a month, and eighty boxes in total.

"Boss, this is the money for the first two months. I have converted it into annual money for you so that it will be more convenient for you to take it.

"Young Master only discussed cooperation earlier, but didn't set any settlement rules. Now that you're here today, how should we plan things going forward?" Yao Zezhong asked.

Yu Shuyang has been thinking about this these days. Both the steamed bun shop and the Zhicao shop are earning money from talismans, and in the end all the money earned is piled up in the warehouse. This is the stupidest thing.

"Shopkeeper Yao, you know that our business is just to reconcile the conflict between my family and Yazhou Alchemy Workshop.

You don't need to exchange the money you earn for New Year's money. You can exchange it for spiritual materials such as earth energy. You may need it in a few years."

Yu Shuyang thought about it and decided that it would be better to change to earth energy spiritual materials. After a few years, when Yu Fu reaches the late sixth level of cultivation, he will have to start refining earth energy to prepare for the development of a blessed land in the future.

After careful calculation, both Yu Mu and Zhu Sanniang need it. I have to ask my cousin Li Li about this matter later to prevent Zhu Sanniang from missing out on the earth's energy for refining.

The size of the blessed land opened up by the demon immortals depends on the power of the laws of their practice and the amount of earth energy they have extracted. The blessed land is closely related to future practice.

If there is a mistake when opening up a blessed land, no one knows how much energy will be spent to make up for it in the future, just like the Xiyu blessed land locked the water veins, causing the Xiyu Immortal to merge other blessed lands for repairs.

"Boss, there aren't many of these earth-energy spiritual materials in the East China Sea. If you really want to buy or sell them, you can only order them from a large merchant, and you'll inevitably be ripped off by the price.

Why don't you contact the Li family directly and have the Treasure Ship Trading Company open up a trade route? Instead of letting the sea merchants take advantage, why not make it easier for our own family members?"

Yao Ze finally put himself in Yu Shuyang's shoes. He naturally knew the relationship between the Yu and Li families. Yao Jihua specifically instructed him to explain the identities of Yu Shuyang and Li Zhen clearly.

Yu Shuyang sighed and said, "Shopkeeper Yao, you are not an outsider, so I will not hide it from you. The Li family's trade route has stopped.

My godmother and cousin are both in seclusion, and it will take at least three to four years. For the time being, you can help find merchants to place orders.

My father is also in seclusion right now. It's possible that in ten or twenty years, he'll have to start refining the earth's energy. You know the situation on Yazhou Island. The earth veins are all locked, so we have to prepare in advance."

"Young Master, let me congratulate you first. Regarding the matter of the earth energy spiritual materials, we will do as you said. From now on, you will deliver them to Lao Mo every six months." Yao Ze finally flattered with a smile on his face.

Yu Shuyang took out another list of spiritual materials for setting up the Yuanchen Four Earth Formation and handed it to Yao Zezhong, saying, "I'll need your help in buying these spiritual materials. I have to go to the Fu family's shipping company."

After he finished speaking, he took out five boxes of New Year's money from his Qiankun bag and said, "Leave this money to pay the bill. If it's not enough, I'll give you more later."

Yao Ze finally agreed hurriedly, then stood up and walked out of the counter, sent Yu Shuyang to the door of the store, and then went into the Yao's Grain Store next door, and asked a clerk to help him look after the store so that he could go around to buy spiritual materials.

On the other side, Yu Shuyang left Zhicao Store and without wasting any time, headed straight for Lutou Island without stopping along the way.

Walking across the rainbow bridge that connects Lushen Island to Lutou Island, I felt the rainbow light and the rosy clouds firsthand. The Sweeping Cloud Fairy Robe on my body sensed the rosy clouds and emitted a faint sound in secret.

This robe has been perfected with thirty-six prohibitions, and is already nurturing a spiritual energy, just like the Qiankun Long Snake Bag, just waiting for the prohibitions to merge into one to give birth to the magical weapon spiritual energy.

Although Yu Shuyang wears the Saoxia Fairy Clothes every day, he mainly uses the Qiankun Long Snake Bag for nourishment and cultivation. It is not that he is biased, or that he only loves the Qiankun Long Snake Bag.

This is because the Sweeping Clouds Fairy Robe was specially refined by Fu Yangzi for his descendants, so the magic restrictions contained in it were refined very cleanly without leaving any trace of breath. The fairy energy in the magic weapon can slowly nourish the magic restrictions.

This Qiankun snake bag is different. The sacrificial materials were not cleaned thoroughly, and the snake skin is still accompanied by the snake's essence. The magic ban also did not erase the aura. Yu Shuyang could only slowly warm and cleanse it.

After walking on the Rainbow Bridge once, Yu Shuyang clearly felt that the magic restrictions in the Saoxia Fairy Clothes were intertwined with each other, like a piece of ice that was beginning to melt.

He really didn't expect that these rainbow bridges were actually a magic weapon. Seeing the connection between the law of the rosy glow and the Sweeping Cloud Fairy Robe, the robe actually began to transform.

The ritual of refining a magical instrument into a magic weapon is similar to the awakening of a demon's intelligence, and a bit of luck and fortune are required.

Yu Shuyang took out the Wind Catching Net robe and replaced it with the Sweeping Clouds Fairy Robe, and also put it into the Xuanqiao to warm it up, speeding up the speed of the Gangban's fusion.

After he had packed everything, he headed to Fu's Shipping Company.

The location of Fu's Shipping Company is very conspicuous. It is a shop shaped like three treasure ships, with three sails standing tall, gathering the atmosphere from all directions.

As soon as they entered Lutou Island, they could see from afar that this momentum was truly powerful, and Yu Shuyang also saw something.

These three sails hide a forbidden spell, which is used to ride the wind and waves and calm the sea, so they are so majestic and eye-catching.

As soon as the boat entered the door, there were waiters coming to greet them. These waiters were more experienced than those in Yu's Noodle House. They could tell at a glance how much money the guests had on them.

They had specialized in a skill that allowed them to discern wealth and money. In their eyes, Yu Shuyang was now a walking mountain of money, his body awash in purple-gold money that transformed into mountain patterns. The three old monkeys welcoming the guests involuntarily moved closer. Before they could reach Yu Shuyang, they saw a steward descend from the second floor.

The three guys exchanged glances, one rushed towards Yu Shuyang, and the other turned around to greet the manager. The manager who came down from the second floor was blocked for a moment, knowing that he had lost the initiative, he snorted coldly and turned back to go upstairs.

"Dear guest, do you want to book a boat or rent one?" the waiter asked with a smile on his face.

Yu Shuyang didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "I want to order two sea vessels, two sea vessels, one of which is for transporting goods, and the other must be a Dharma vessel.

I don't know what your rules are? Do you have any stock?"

The waiter was delighted when he heard this. The ship had rules and there were rewards for the waiters who entertained guests.

"You are truly generous, sir. How about inviting you to the private room on the second floor? I'll get the illustrated guide for you to choose from, and I'll also check out the stock in stock."

The waiter quickly recovered from his surprise and used his usual words to reassure the guest. He said that the waiters on sea ships could make the final decision and could barely lend a hand on sea ships, but that was not the case with French ships.

Yu Shuyang stood up and followed the waiter upstairs, then asked, "I would also like to ask your Fu's Shipping Company for help in building the bronze animal statue.

The big ones are 70 to 80 feet tall and need four, the small ones are 20 to 30 feet tall and need eight. Could you please ask them? I heard you can make them."

The waiter politely escorted Yu Shuyang into the elegant room, and asked someone to bring in various fruits and cakes, all arranged in four colors and eight plates, filling the table.

"Please wait a moment, dear guest. I need to go and see the shopkeeper again to say hello. I haven't had much experience with bronze statue casting."

After the clerk finished speaking, he hurriedly closed the door, his heart filled with uncontrollable ecstasy. He did not go to get the atlas first, but went straight to the third floor to find the shopkeeper.

The first and second floors of the shipping company are used to receive individual guests, while the third and fourth floors are used to receive important customers with status.

Not to mention how the waiter would arrange it, Yu Shuyang looked at the food on the table and unexpectedly saw his own Wuzhi steamed fish, which was the size of a steamed dumpling and shaped like a four-color goldfish.

Looking at the fish shape, he could tell at a glance that it was the work of the fish mother. He picked one up and put it in his mouth. It didn't taste like grass at all, but instead had the aroma and taste of fish meat.

The four-colored goldfish each have their own flavor and a little spiritual charm, which are the four elements of wood, fire, water, and gold. Yu Shuyang can taste them, which is a magical power unique to spiritual chefs.

A spiritual chef pays attention to the harmony of the five flavors and the cooking of water and fire. The spiritual food he makes has a spiritual charm of its own, just like an elixir that can help diners practice spiritual cultivation.

Yu Mu is a white-crust chef who originally specialized in making noodle soup. She was abducted by Yu Shuyang and started making food for the gods, starting with fish noodles, which are intended to nourish and strengthen the body.

At the moment, the Fish Mother has broken through to the sixth level of cultivation and started to comprehend her cooking skills. The fish shape and the immortal food have become the core of her practice, and she has gradually figured out how to absorb the spiritual energy with the true form of the fish body.

Yu Shuyang finished his Wuzhi steamed buns and picked up some pastries to eat. Before he could finish the third plate, he saw the waiter bringing someone in.

"Dear guest, this is the owner of our shipping company. I'd like to invite him out." The clerk was holding a three-foot-long illustrated book and hanging it on the wall while speaking.

This atlas is also a magical tool. When hung on the wall, it can project real illusions. In an instant, various ships appeared on the four walls.

"My dear guest, these are all seagoing vessels sold by the shipping company. The ones on the east and west walls are cargo ships, and the ones on the north and south walls are Dharma ships.

You can take a look at the style first, and then I'll introduce the prohibitions and functional features." The shopkeeper pointed to the shadows on the four walls and introduced.

When Yu Shuyang looked around, he saw that the four walls were distinguished by five colors. From the outside to the inside, there were fewer and fewer boat shapes, and the prices marked were getting more and more expensive.

He practiced water magic and headed towards the north wall. Most of the magic ships were built in the style of water spirit beasts. In the middle circle, there were only three ship shadows, namely the water qilin, the water phoenix Jiao Ming, and the water beast Chang You.

"Boss, which of these three magic ships do you have in stock?" Yu Shuyang asked, pointing.

The shopkeeper took a look and couldn't help but blinking, saying: "My dear guest, you may not know that when a boat company builds a magic ship, it must follow the practice method and deduce the formation diagram and prohibitions from the beginning.

If it's spot goods, only cargo ships would refine them in advance, and they are all ordinary ones. I wonder if the customer is in a hurry to use the ship?"

"So, the Dharma ship needs to wait? I wonder how many days it will take?" Yu Shuyang did not answer the shopkeeper's question and continued to ask.

"Dear guest, if it is the three magic ships you just inquired about, we must check the spiritual materials in the warehouse and then ask the shipmaster who masters the ritual and refining method.

We can only give you a response time at the end. Why don't you leave your address and we will send a captain to visit you when the time comes?" The shopkeeper was also very eager to promote business, and his words were also a little thoughtful.

"Oh, I wonder when the captain will come to visit. I'll see if I have time. I want to go to Qingqiu Island in a few days." Yu Shuyang complained.

"Of course I won't keep you waiting. I will definitely be able to visit you in three days at the shortest and seven days at the longest." The shopkeeper patted his chest and promised. He could already sense the guest's impatience.

"Oh, so what about casting the bronze beast statue? Is it possible?" Yu Shuyang asked again.

The shopkeeper felt more confident after hearing this and said, "That's no problem at all. I just wonder if you would like to just cast the bronze statue or also perform the ritual of refining the forbidden spells?"

Yu Shuyang shook his head and said, "No need for rituals or restrictions. Just cast a statue out of brass and I'll give you a portrait and shape."

"That's no problem. Let the metalworker accompany the captain on the visit. Do you think this is feasible?" the shopkeeper asked tentatively.

Yu Shuyang thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's fine. Then you can recommend a ship with cargo, one that's fast and doesn't carry too much cargo, and two sea boats."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper and the clerk glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and explained to Yu Shuyang a Flying Fish sea ship and a Ruyi sea boat.

Yu Shuyang opened the Qiankun bag and said, "Boss, please settle the bill. I want more legal prohibitions."

When the seventy-five boxes of New Year's money were placed there, the shopkeeper's expression was still okay, but the clerk's eyes were wide open. It was the first time he saw someone buying things like this.

The sea vessels and ships sold by the shipping company are all refined with three or five evil prohibitions. The refining formation diagrams and magic prohibitions are handed over to the customers, and they can refine them by themselves later. The shipping company only hides the core part.

"Please wait a moment, my dear guest. I will go and get a boat for you." The shopkeeper took a look at the New Year's money and knew that he had to get a boat with more than thirty levels of Tiangang Forbidden.
