The Quan Family, hidden in the shadow of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group, officially began the development of the Three Islands.
...
On the other hand, the merchant fleet rescued by the Purple Pearl Pirate Group safely returned to Hanhai City.
They not only publicized the deeds of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group, but also loudly proclaimed the news of spies appearing in the Hanhai Shipyard.
This incident not only increased the reputation of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group, but also caused the reputation of the Hanhai Shipyard to plummet.
Although the official forces intervened and launched an internal investigation as soon as possible.
However, once credibility collapses, it is difficult to rebuild.
The business of the Hanhai Shipyard suddenly decreased.
At this time, the Quan Family used its influence and strength to build a brand new Shipyard at the pier of Hanhai City.
This Shipyard is different from the Shipyard built in the Quan Family Territory, this one is open.
Of course, this Shipyard only produces wooden sea ships, and most of the personnel are separated from the original Shipyard.
The Quan Family did not choose to abandon those shipwrights who could not keep up with the ship updates, but instead chose to use their expertise.
The Shipyard in the territory completely shifted to the research of Iron Ships.
This newly opened Shipyard has won the love of the public with its excellent shipbuilding strength and efficient working methods.
In addition, with the credibility accumulated by the Quan Family's decades of business, the Quan Family's new Shipyard completely replaced the Hanhai Shipyard.
The Hanhai Shipyard did not last long before it fell into a crisis of bankruptcy.
At this time, the Quan Family won over countless shipwrights with clear identities and exquisite craftsmanship.
In an instant, the Quan Family became the leader of the shipbuilding industry in Hanhai City.
Inspired by the Demon Dove Pirate Group, the Quan Family realized that controlling the shipbuilding industry was basically equivalent to controlling half of Hanhai City.
This part is a crucial part of the Quan Family's expansion.
Of course, the Quan Family's sudden rise attracted the attention of the official forces.
However, under Yun Qiong's control, all the news was controlled within Hanhai City and did not expand outwards.
So far, the Quan Family has extended its tentacles to all aspects of Hanhai City in this way.
...
At the same time, overseas, the reputation of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group began to become more and more prominent.
This Purple Pearl Pirate Group is different from any Pirate Group in the past.
They frantically cleaned up the evil pirates who were doing all kinds of evil in the sea, and maintained order on the sea.
Of course, passing through the waterways they control still requires paying a 'toll'.
However, the Purple Pearl Pirate Group will truly guarantee the safety of merchant ships in their own waterways.
This makes many merchant ships more interested in trading with the Purple Pearl Pirate Group.
Of course, this move is undoubtedly a provocation to other Pirate Groups.
However, the Pirate Groups that came to challenge were all wiped out by the Purple Pearl Pirate Group without exception.
They used blood to lay the foundation for the Purple Pearl Pirate Group's dominant position on the sea.
Of course, the Purple Pearl Pirate Group can develop to this position, and the Quan Family has helped a lot in the dark.
However, the Quan Family also took the opportunity to liberate many slaves and win over fishermen who were struggling to make a living.
This greatly enhanced the power of the Quan Family.
...
With half a year of hard work, the Three Islands were initially developed.
And, a giant fleet carrying a full 10,000 people arrived at Blue Silver Island.
This group of people will be the pioneers of island development.
At the same time, if there are no accidents, they will live here from now on and manage this island.
This first fleet, with the help of a large number of Storage Soul Tools produced by Quan Yi, carried countless Steam agricultural tools.
With the help of Steam power, 10,000 people exerted dozens of times the production efficiency.
Soon, countless lands within the sea island were cultivated into fertile fields.
According to the Quan Family's needs and the varying terrain and geology, a wide variety of crops were planted.
Among them were not only various grains but also various cash crops.
The most representative of these were rubber trees and cotton.
Of course, due to the climate, the area suitable for growing cotton was somewhat limited.
However, growing cotton was still necessary.
This was because the Smokeless Gunpowder that the Quan Family controlled required cotton.
In this sense, the importance of cotton cannot be overstated.
The Quan Family's expansion was steadily advancing, quietly and without fanfare.
During this process, Quan Yi and Huo Wu only returned to Blazing Fire Academy once.
This time, Huo Wu specifically reported her safety to her family and told them that she had successfully broken through to the Soul Emperor level.
For a time, they even doubted their own eyes.
It hadn't been long, and she had already broken through again; wasn't this breakthrough speed too shocking?
However, when they heard that the Sixth Soul Ring she had obtained this time was taken from an Undead Phoenix, they completely lost their composure.
When Huo Wu explained that she was only briefly returning to reminisce and would then return to Hanhai City, they had no objections.
This was because being by Quan Yi's side, rather than staying at the Academy, was best for Huo Wu's own development.
Moreover, they also believed that with the Quan Family's power, they could definitely protect Huo Wu.
On the other side, after Quan Yi returned to Saus City, he gathered all the blacksmiths, including Lou Gao and Yuan Xing, preparing to take everyone back to Hanhai City together.
For a long time to come, Hanhai City would be the Quan Family's development focus.
Lou Gao and Blacksmith Yuan were important talents; with their presence, the Quan Family's development speed would be even faster.
After preparing in Saus City for several days, all of the Quan Family's important deployments in Saus City, except for the shops, were moved away by Carriage.
As the convoy traveled west, Quan Yi and his group left the kingdom and entered a Province controlled by the empire.
As the convoy was about to pass by the Sunset Forest, Quan Yi took advantage of the convoy's rest stop to fly to the Sunset Forest.
Taking this opportunity, Quan Yi wanted to put the Blazing Sun Dragon Spear back into the Blazing Yang Spring.
He wanted to use the heat of the Yang Spring to re-soften the fine gold and enhance the metal's material through prolonged soaking.
The Blazing Sun Dragon Spear could also absorb more Yang Spring energy to evolve itself.
Of course, this process would take a relatively long time.
Fortunately, Quan Yi did not need the Blazing Sun Dragon Spear in the short term.
Quan Yi used the power of his Fire Spirit Body to quickly advance towards the center of the Sunset Forest.
Before long, he passed through the dense, deadly Poisonous Fog and arrived at the Ice and Fire Spring.
As it happened, Dugu Bo was also here, continuing to study herbs and toxicology.
Quan Yi, thinking that it had been almost several months since he had seen Dugu Bo, landed directly at the foot of the mountain.
However, when he revealed himself and was about to greet him, Dugu Bo was intently focused on the glass bottle on the experiment table.
Seeing that Dugu Bo hadn't even noticed him near the cave entrance, Quan Yi involuntarily swallowed the greeting he was about to say.
Quan Yi's gaze slowly fell, and he saw that the glass bottle Dugu Bo was staring at was emitting three kinds of energy radiance: red, white, and green.
