But Jiang Shanghua returned to Yuxian Tower in great frustration, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't stand it.

Xin'er stayed by his side, comforting him from time to time, but he was no longer willing to accept Xin'er's cheap tenderness.

"Actually, the development of the concept of self-cultivation is obvious to all. Although we can't beat Liu San, don't you think everyone still practices seriously?" Xin'er said.

On the balcony on the third floor, the immortals started practicing as usual. Their progress was not slow, and most of them had reached the third level of martial arts.

"Sir, Li Gang's business is almost ready. We should go to the outer islands to make contact. After the Meishan God has finished training the first batch of members, we have to build a ship and go to sea. We can't delay." Xin'er moved her fingers to count the things in the view.

Jiang Shanghua's face was livid, and he knew that everything Xin'er said was reasonable, so he waved his hand and said, "Go out for a while, and I will think about these miscellaneous things."

He stayed alone in the hall, but suddenly thought of the woman he met on Lingtu Island.

The princess of the Imperial Capital Island, the beautiful but unruly and willful Ou Yan, was a woman who had a strong crush on him.

Looking back now, Ou Yan must have known that he had stolen the fifth-level exercise book, but still let him go. If he could really flatter the princess and even get her, it would be easy to surpass Liu San in this life.

Got it!

After changing his mind like this, he became impatient and wished he could seek refuge in Imperial Capital Island. Even if he was a lackey of Imperial Capital Island, he would be much more valuable than the pauper father of the Ocean Federation.

But he took out the iron box again, and the flowered handkerchief inside reminded him of his mother, whom he had never met before. He wondered if she was an enemy of Imperial Capital Island?!

If his mother is also the enemy of Imperial Capital Island, he really cannot seek refuge in Imperial Capital Island.

Mother, who was the mother who gave birth to me after ten months of pregnancy?!

Jiang Shanghua sighed, suppressing the disappointment in his heart, and had to turn away from his empty thoughts and start thinking about the few things in the contemplation that Xin'er just mentioned.

Yes, he wanted to go out and check it out. He would first open up the business on Meizhou Island, and also learn more about the surrounding islands.

He unfolded a map of the sea and islands on the table and selected Gongyi Island, which was not too far away from Meizhou Island.

…

This seems to be a world full of bamboos.

There are no other trees on the entire island, only various bamboos!

The phoebe bamboo is tall and well-maintained, and the moso bamboo is thick and majestic, and can grow to more than ten feet high. There are also delicate phoenix tail bamboo, elegant black bamboo, luxurious golden bamboo, low moso bamboo, and strange longguai bamboo...

Looking around, even if you walk into a small town, you will see all kinds of bamboo decorations. Even if you walk into the bedroom of a folk house, there will be a pot of asparagus.

Therefore, Ouyan was very wise. When she approached Gongyi Island, she was attracted by the elegant atmosphere of the island. She did not want the warriors from Imperial Island to disturb the tranquility here, and made them surround and patrol in the distance.

She flew alone to this long, narrow island with graceful terrain.

She folded her wings and walked through the alley like an ordinary girl. No one could tell that she was a great immortal with extraordinary cultivation.

This feeling of relaxation was very enjoyable for her, and she could forget all her worries at once.

A long island, a long and narrow town, and a long bluestone alley. There are not many people on both sides of the houses, but not too few. There are one or two clumps of whirling bamboos in front and behind each house, and there are also stains.

It rained a little, and the fresh green was so cute.

Wandering here, I suddenly seemed to be free from all the troubles.

Time seems to have slowed down. The residents here are all good-looking. The main property on the island is carving various bamboo crafts. There are also small workshops for pickling and dried bamboo shoots, and there are also farmers engaged in fishing and vegetable cultivation, but the number is very small.

, just enough to maintain the daily necessities of life.

This Gongyi Island is no stranger to Ou Yan.

Because its bamboo crafts are famous all over the sea, even many supplies on Imperial Capital Island are made and provided by them.

The residents of Gongyi Island love bamboo making and are as famous as their bamboo handicrafts. They have been proud of the bamboo craft industry for generations and disdain to engage in other industries. Therefore, all industries on Gongyi Island have declined, leaving the bamboo handicraft industry to flourish.

Endless.

These residents are indifferent to fame and wealth, and put all their thoughts into making bamboo art. Even if no one buys these handicrafts anymore, they still indulge in them out of love and continue to make new exquisite bamboo art.

Therefore, their life pace is very slow and they live aloof from the world.

When they saw Ou Yan, they were not impressed by her proud beauty, but they just smiled calmly, praising Ou Yan, and had no intention of possessing her.

This pure feeling, experienced through eye contact, is the most delicate emotion.

Ou Yan melted away all of a sudden, and her anger towards Liu San and her worry over the lost spirit stone seemed to have eased a lot.

She really hoped to meet the Liu San who made her worried and troubled here. But then she thought again, Liu San is just a rude little gangster, how can he understand these elegant feelings?!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly at myself.

…

Just when Ouyan felt a little lonely, she reached the end of the town.

It is close to a small bay, and the waves are relatively calm. A green vegetable field is displayed in front of you.

However, a group of people gathered in the fields on the bank, and noises could be heard from time to time.

Ou Yan walked up and saw that people were watching two bamboo puppets!

The bamboo puppet not only has an extremely humorous and joyful face, but also has long eyebrows. The entire shape is also very clever.

A middle-aged man with a slender appearance stood next to the bamboo puppet and said loudly: "Everyone, come and take a look. It is extraordinary to hold a bamboo puppet. It can wave away birds and protect farmland crops by itself!"

I saw him twisting the bamboo puppet's back a few times, and the bamboo puppet waved its arms. A small hole was also opened in the bamboo puppet's mouth, and it made a huffing, huffing cry!

There is a bamboo wheel about a foot wide installed under the legs of the bamboo puppet. Every time it makes a few gestures, it will move half a foot, and it can also turn around, change direction and wave its arms!

The wheels are just the right size to be able to walk on slightly uneven fields without falling down easily, which is really amazing.

The onlookers were all craftsmen on Gongyi Island, so they could naturally see the ingenuity of this bamboo puppet. Everyone gave thumbs up and praised, saying: "The Second Island Master, this bamboo puppet really has the true inheritance of craftsmanship, especially in his mouth."

The sound-producing device is extremely delicate, and it can still roar when there is almost no wind, which is a unique feat!"

"The wheel travel is also good. It can keep moving for several hours! It only needs to be wound up once a day, which is quite practical!"

Ou Yan listened to these experts' comments for a long time, and finally understood the mechanism of this bamboo puppet.

The tall man couldn't help but feel proud after hearing everyone's praise. He stroked the beard around his mouth and squinted at a fat man not far away.

The whole place was full of people, but the fat man was the only one who was not convinced. He pointed to a small boat moored on the small bay and said, "Everyone, please look carefully. My boat is much better than his bamboo puppet!"

Everyone was fooled by him and walked towards the coast one after another.

The boat was entirely made of bamboo and was the same size as an ordinary fishing boat, but it was specially made for one-person fishing.

The fat man laughed loudly and said quite proudly: "When you go out to fish, you have to go together in two. One person steers the boat, and the other person casts the net to catch fish. But after using my boat, I save one person to steer the boat.

People!"

With a flying leap, he flew away from the shore and onto the fishing boat more than ten feet away.

This fishing boat has wing-shaped stabilizers extending three feet on both sides to make the hull more stable in waves.

But the most peculiar thing is the sail on the boat. It is about the same size as an ordinary sail, but much more delicate. Someone asked a question and shouted: "I said to the owner of the island, if there is no wind in your boat, it will take a lot of effort for one person to row it."

ha!"

The fat man waved his hands repeatedly, pointed to the sail, and then pointed to a bamboo box in the cabin, and said: "You will know the secret after watching my demonstration!"

He checked the wind direction and force, and then shook several handles on the box. As he shook the handles, the sails on the ship began to change shapes.

The sails of ordinary small fishing boats are at most two pieces, but the sails of Fatty's fishing boat are made of solid and lightweight bamboo strips, divided into several parts. As Fatty adjusts the handle, the sail changes into a very strange shape.

But it was swollen by the wind.

Everyone cheered together, and the sail was fully swollen, which meant that the sail was adjusted to the best position and could maximize the use of wind power for the ship.

Everyone undoubtedly appreciated the sail adjustment mechanism!

The sturdy second island owner was nitpicking and said loudly: "If there is no wind at all, your sails will not be able to do anything!"

The fat man chuckled and said: "Second Island Master, I know you will definitely make things difficult! Then look at the stern of this boat!"

He just put his feet on a pair of pedals in the cabin. After stepping on them a few times, a pair of fin-like devices stretched out from the stern of the boat and penetrated into the water.

He pointed to the bow of the ship, where a pair of slender fin devices with adjustable width and inclination also protruded from the ship's hull.

"If there is no wind, you can adjust the pedals to adjust the hull according to the waves, so that the boat can move forward with the help of the waves!"

This principle is the same as adjusting the shape of the sail to sail with the wind. It’s just that the hull is extremely difficult to adjust. No one has ever made a deformed fishing boat with such an adjustable hull!

Seeing this, everyone applauded together and cheered:

"The master of the island is indeed the number one craftsman on Gongyi Island!"

"This boat can basically be rowed without much effort! It's really a unique thing and it's really convenient for us fishermen!"

After hearing everyone's praises, the fat island owner flew back to the shore and said loudly: "This is the talent competition between me and the second island owner this year. Let's talk about it, who won?!"

Everyone shouted: "The bamboo puppets of the second island owner are not bad, but it is a pity that they encountered the transformation boat of the big island owner!"

The second island owner lowered his head and looked ashen. He did not want to look at the villagers anymore and squatted at the head of the field with his arms folded.

Everyone dispersed and only the fat and thin island owners were left.

The second island owner lowered his head and was depressed, but the fat island owner saw a person standing on the shore.

An extraordinarily beautiful woman.

After he used his spiritual sense to explore, he said in surprise: "Oh, it's the Great Immortal from Imperial Capital Island who has come. The little God didn't come far to greet him. He is really derelict in his duty!"
