The lively sound alarmed Lin Yi.

He walked out of the palace and came to the beach. He saw Zhou Hu and his party get off the boat and heading towards Yue Shang Pavilion.

Behind him was a jubilant crowd.

The elderly, children, men and women put down their work and came to watch.

It's a bit like a "star chasing" scene.

In this world, they worship not stars, but strong people, and heroes!

Lin Yi calculates his days.

It's time to release the essence again.

Every year, Banyue Island will send people to the seabed to collect essence and then distribute it to practitioners on the island to enhance their strength.

In other words, the essence is resources, and the practitioner is the "military defense" on the island.

Without resources, practitioners cannot practice.

Without practitioners, the island is not far from being destroyed.

Since ancient times, finding essence has been the top priority for islands on the sea, and wars have even often occurred.

The importance of essence can be seen!

afternoon.

At dusk.

A heavy bell ringing came from Yueshang Pavilion.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

There were three sounds in total, resounding throughout the island.

The bell ringing is the code word for Half Moon Island, and it has different meanings in different times.

For example, if you ring five times, it means that there is danger coming, so that everyone can avoid it. If you ring three times, you must release the essence.

In fact, according to the old rules, no one except the island owner is allowed to ring the bell.

Ringing the bell without authorization is a serious crime.

But the Zhou family is powerful and has no longer cared about the rules, and no one else dares to say anything.

Lin Yi’s palace is very close to Yueshang Pavilion.

Walk half a stick of incense and arrive at the attic.

At this time, many people gathered, all of whom were practitioners on the island, ready to receive the essence.

On the open space in front of the attic, a square table was set up with crystal clear essence on it, piled up into a hill, which made people envious.

A man sat at the table, crossing his legs and holding a list in his hand.

This person is Zhou Zheng.

"Island Master!"

"The island owner is here!"

Seeing Lin Yi, everyone saluted.

I dare not lose my skills on the surface.

Only Zhou Zheng, whose butt seemed to be stuck on a chair, was too lazy to get up even when he got up, rolled his eyes and said, "The island master is here, welcome!"

It is sarcastic and extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Yi became accustomed to it and said calmly: "What are you doing here?"

"Uncle has something to leave, so I will let me distribute the essence on his behalf," Zhou Zheng sat upright with his nostrils facing the sky, "Why, the island owner thinks it is inappropriate?"

The "uncle" he mentioned was Zhou Hu.

Zhou Hu is Zhou Tiancheng's younger brother and a master of the realm.

Almost all the essence distributed was collected from the seabed by Zhou Hu and his men.

Lin Yi doesn't say much, nor does he have the confidence to say much.

The Zhou family controls the "essence" resources, and the essence is the lifeblood of practitioners.

Who dares not accept it?

After one stick of incense, the person is almost there.

He stood around the three floors inside and three floors outside.

Zhou Zheng counted the roster and began to distribute the essence.

The rules are very simple, and the amount of distribution is related to the realm.

Those who have not yet cultivated the Dharma body will receive two pieces, five pieces in the small realm of cultivation, ten pieces in the large realm of cultivation, and twenty pieces in the earth realm of cultivation.

"Li Niu!"

Zhou Zheng cleared his throat and called out according to the list.

A thin and weak young man rushed forward.

"Let me see, oh, it's Xiaojing's cultivation level, take it."

Zhou Hu pinched two pieces of essence and threw them to Li Niu.

Li Niu was stunned for a moment and reminded: "Young master, it's five yuan, not two yuan."

Zhou Zheng suddenly became furious, "I said two pieces are two pieces, are you not convinced?"

Li Niu didn't dare to offend him. He was so scared that his legs became weak and he hurriedly stepped back.

"Next, Bai Xiaoshan."

A teenager of fifteen or sixteen came forward.

"I haven't cultivated the Dharma body, one piece."

Zhou Hu threw out a piece of essence.

With the lessons learned from the past, Bai Xiaoshan did not dare to ask too much and took the essence and retreated.

...

After a while, thirty or forty people had received the essence.

However, the cultivation level of the small realm can only obtain two essences, and those who have not yet cultivated the Dharma body can obtain one, and practitioners in the large realm can obtain five, which is half less than before.

"Why are we so little?"

“In the past, there were five.”

"Has the rules changed?"

...

Everyone was talking and dissatisfied.

But he didn't dare to offend Zhou Zheng, so he had to ask Lin Yi.

Lin Yi also felt strange and stood up and said, "Zhou Zheng, how do you distribute the essence, why don't you follow the rules!"

After all, he is the island owner, and a group of people are waiting for him to "preside over justice".

Zhou Zheng slapped the table and shouted: "Original Lord, the old rules are outdated, it's time to change them. From now on, we will receive two yuan in the small realm, five yuan in the large realm, and ten yuan in the land realm. Who dares not accept it!"

"Hmph," Lin Yi sneered, "A hundred years of rules, you can change them as soon as you say, who is the island owner?"

"Of course you are the island owner," Zhou Zheng said indifferently, "But the essence is from my Zhou family, and the rules should be determined by my Zhou family. Not to mention that the essence is small, even if you don't send it together, what can you do to me!"

Lin Yi saw that Zhou Zheng came for him.

The so-called changing rules is actually taking the opportunity to slap him in the face.

"What a big tone!"
Chapter completed!
