Chapter 358: #358 - Development process

Meanwhile, the Quan family, hidden in the shadows of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group, officially began developing the three islands.

On another front, the merchant fleet rescued by the Purple Pearl Pirate Group safely returned to Vastsea City.

They not only publicized the deeds of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group but also widely announced the news of spies appearing in the Vastsea Shipyard.

This matter not only increased the reputation of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group but also caused the reputation of the Vastsea Shipyard to plummet.

Although the official forces intervened at the first moment and launched an internal investigation.

However, once trust collapses, it is difficult to rebuild.

The business of the Vastsea Shipyard suddenly decreased sharply.

At this time, the Quan family used its influence and strength to build a brand-new shipyard at the pier of Vastsea City.

This shipyard is different from the shipyard built in the Quan family's territory; it is open to the public.

Of course, this shipyard only produces wooden seagoing ships, and most of the personnel are separated from the original shipyard.

For those shipwrights who could not keep up with the ship's updates, the Quan family did not choose to abandon them but chose to give play to their specialties.

And the shipyard in the territory completely turned 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 support of the Quan family's reputation accumulated over decades of business, the Quan family's new shipyard completely replaced the Vastsea Shipyard.

And the Vastsea Shipyard, after not persisting for long, completely fell into a bankruptcy crisis.

At this time, the Quan family recruited countless shipwrights with clear identities and exquisite craftsmanship from it.

In an instant, the Quan family became the leader of the shipbuilding industry in Vastsea City.

Inspired by the Demon Vulture Pirate Group, the Quan family realized that as long as they controlled the shipbuilding industry, it would be basically equivalent to controlling half of Vastsea City.

This part can be said to be a crucial part of the Quan family's expansion.

Of course, the sudden rise of the Quan family attracted the attention of the official forces.

However, under Yun Qiong's control, all the news was controlled within Vastsea City and did not expand outwards.

So far, the Quan family has extended its tentacles to all aspects of Vastsea City in this way.

At the same time, overseas, the reputation of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group began to become more and more significant.

This Purple Pearl Pirate Group is different from any previous pirate group.

They frantically cleaned up the evil pirates who did all kinds of evil in the sea and maintained order at 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 within their waterways.

This makes many merchant ships more inclined to trade 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 annihilated 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 Quan family helped a lot in the dark for the Purple Pearl Pirate Group to develop to this position.

However, the Quan family also took the opportunity to liberate many slaves and gathered fishermen who had difficulties in life.

This greatly enhanced the power of the Quan family.

After 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 and operate this island in the future.

This first fleet, with the help of a large number of storage soul devices produced by Quan Yi, carried countless steam farm tools.

With the help of steam power, 10,000 people exerted dozens of times the production efficiency.

Soon, countless lands in the island were reclaimed into fertile fields.

According to the needs of the Quan family and the different terrain and geology, a variety of crops were planted.

Among them, there are not only various grains but also various cash crops.

Because the smokeless gunpowder mastered by the Quan family needs cotton.

In this sense, the importance of cotton goes without saying.

The expansion of the Quan family is steadily moving forward in silence.

In this process, Quan Yi and Huo Wu only returned to Blazing Academy once.

This time, Huo Wu specifically reported her safety to her family and then told her family that she had successfully broken through to Soul Emperor.

For a time, they even doubted their own eyes.

It hasn't been long before she broke through again. Isn't this breakthrough speed too shocking?

However, when they heard that the sixth soul ring hunted this time was taken from the Undead Phoenix, they couldn't hold back completely.

When Huo Wu explained that she was only back for a short time to reminisce and would return to Vastsea City afterward, they had no complaints.

Only because, compared to staying in the academy, being by Quan Yi's side is the best for Huo Wu's own development.

Moreover, they also believed that with the power of the Quan family, they could definitely protect Huo Wu.

On the other side, after Quan Yi returned to Sousse City, he gathered all the blacksmiths, including Lou Gao and Yuan Xing, preparing to take everyone back to Vastsea City.

For a long time in the future, Vastsea City will be the focus of the Quan family's development.

Lou Gao and Blacksmith Yuan are important talents. With their existence, the development speed of the Quan family will be even faster.

After preparing for several days in Sousse City, except for the shops, the important deployments of the Quan family in Sousse City were moved away by carriages.

As the convoy headed west, Quan Yi and his party left the kingdom and entered the province controlled by the empire.

As the convoy was about to pass through Sunset Forest, Quan Yi took the opportunity of the convoy's rest and flew to Sunset Forest.

Taking this opportunity, Quan Yi wanted to put the Zhiyang Dragon Rider Spear back into the Blazing Yang Spring.

He wanted to use the heat of Yangquan to re-soften the fine gold and enhance the material of the metal through long-term immersion.

The Zhiyang Dragon Rider Spear can also absorb more Yangquan energy to evolve itself.

Of course, this process will take a long time.

Just right, Quan Yi does not need the Zhiyang Dragon Rider Spear in a short time.

Quan Yi used the power of the Fire Spirit Body to quickly advance to the center of Sunset Forest.

In a short while, he passed through the dense fatal poisonous mist and arrived at the Ice and Fire Springs.

It just so happened that Dugu Bo was also here continuing to study herbs and poison arts.

Quan Yi thought that it had been almost several months since he had seen Dugu Bo, so he landed directly at the foot of the mountain.

However, when he revealed his figure and was about to greet him, Dugu Bo was intently watching the glass bottle on the experiment table at this moment.

Seeing that Dugu Bo didn't even notice himself near the entrance of the cave, Quan Yi couldn't help swallowing the greeting that came to his lips.

Quan Yi's gaze slowly fell, only to see that the glass bottle that Dugu Bo was staring at was emitting red, white, and green energy brilliance.
