As Zhou Chen’s order was given, everyone started to move.

“Old Zhou, I’ll also take some people to explore here to see if there are any mineral veins or something like that.” Lou Gao said to Zhou Chen.

“I’ll go find some medicinal herbs.” Bangchui also raised his hand and said to Zhou Chen.

“You two are welcome to do as you please, but please be careful and be back to the camp before the sun sets.” Zhou Chen smiled and said to Lou Gao and Bang Chui.

Zhou Chen couldn’t command these two people, but Lou Gao and Bang Chui were not lazy either and took the initiative to find things to do.

“Don’t worry, I’m here, there will be no danger.” Lou Gao said to Zhou Chen with a hearty smile.

Then, Master Lou Gao and his disciples went into the woods with hammers.

The people Li Xuan brought with him on this trip were all those who had lived on the mainland for who knows how many years. It was inevitable that they would not be able to adapt to life on the sea. Now that they were back on solid ground, they all felt a sense of peace of mind and their tense emotions were relaxed.

After discussion, Yang Wudi and Bai He led their respective tribesmen to explore the east and west sides respectively, focusing on the central line.

Tao Lin and his people selected a relatively flat piece of land and placed the built cabin on the ground.

It doesn’t take long to set up a camp.

Before going out to sea, Li Xuan customized these cabins for ease of use so as to avoid the need to set up tents and save a lot of time.

On Li Xuan’s side, Zhu Zhuqing’s uncomfortable feeling disappeared after resting for a while.

There is no way around it. The senses of cats are simply too sensitive, and the same is true for soul masters with feline martial spirits.

Li Xuan lowered his head and looked at Zhu Zhuqing in his arms. Li Xuan suddenly thought of something.

“Zhuqing, you had already absorbed the fourth soul ring before the All-Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition. Your soul power should have been fully awakened during this period.” Li Xuan scratched his head and asked Zhu Zhuqing.

“Of course I’ve already gotten used to it. I had so much fun during this period that I forgot that I still need to absorb the fifth soul ring.” Zhu Zhuqing snorted, then stuck out her tongue at Li Xuan.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing’s cute appearance, Li Xuan couldn’t help but kissed Zhu Zhuqing.

After a long time, their lips parted, and Zhu Zhuqing buried her blushing face in Li Xuan’s arms.

“Come on, I’ll take you to the Palm of Heaven Bottle and see if there are any suitable soul rings to absorb. I’ll prepare the fifth soul ring for you.” Li Xuan rubbed Zhu Zhuqing’s head, then with a thought, he took Zhu Zhuqing into the space in the Palm of Heaven Bottle.

After going out to sea, Li Xuan had no way to enter the space of the Zhantian Bottle. Usually, ordinary puppets took care of various affairs in the Zhantian Bottle space.

After entering the space of the Zhantian Bottle, Li Xuan thought about it and took Zhu Zhuqing directly to the medicine garden.

Although Li Xuan has stored a lot of plants, Zhu Zhuqing is a beast martial soul after all, and has agility attributes. Many fairy spiritual plants do not match Zhu Zhuqing’s attributes.

So Li Xuan spent a long time selecting and found a 60,000-year-old Netherworld Fruit as Zhu Zhuqing’s fifth soul ring.

The Netherworld Fruit is a special kind of medicinal herb. After taking it, it can block one’s breath and blend into the darkness. It is also a medicinal herb for making some speed-increasing potions. It can be regarded as a soul ring that fits Zhu Zhuqing more closely.

“That’s it, the Netherworld Fruit. It has the function of concealing your aura, and it also has a bit of spatial power. It should significantly improve your strength.” Li Xuan said to Zhu Zhuqing with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Zhu Zhuqing nodded and looked at Li Xuan with a smile.

“Okay, in that case, let’s go out. They should have already made arrangements.” Li Xuan said to Zhu Zhuqing with a smile.

“Yeah.” Zhu Zhuqing nodded obediently.

Then, Li Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing came out of the space in the Palm of Heaven Bottle. Li Xuan arranged for the ordinary puppets to use all the green spiritual liquid in the next period of time on the Netherworld Fruit, trying to make it break through the 100,000 years of cultivation.

Li Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing returned to the tent in the center of the camp. At this time, Zhou Chen was sitting in the tent waiting for other people’s replies.

When Zhou Chen saw Li Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing coming back, he quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Li Xuan.

“Young Master, I have already arranged the exploration and construction tasks. How long will we stay here next?” Zhou Chen bowed respectfully to Li Xuan and then said.

“Let everyone relax for about a week, and then prepare to go out to sea again.” Li Xuan nodded and said to Zhou Chen.

“I understand, young master!” Zhou Chen responded, and then stopped talking.

Just at this moment, Tao Lin and several others walked in from outside and bowed respectfully to Li Xuan.

“Young master, the houses and tents have been arranged.” Tao Lin said respectfully to Li Xuan.

“Well done. We will be living here for a while. Domestic waste must be concentrated and the original ecological environment of the island must not be destroyed. We should try to leave the island the same way it was when we arrived.” Li Xuan instructed Tao Lin.

“Yes, young master!” Tao Lin nodded.

Li Xuan nodded, then took Zhu Zhuqing to find a place to sit down.

The others continued to tidy up the camp. After all, they would be living here for a while, and the better the renovation, the more comfortable life would be.

After doing this, these people went to help build the dock.

An hour later, Bai He returned to the camp first.

“Master, the west side of the island has been explored clearly. Most of the trees are several decades old, and the soul beasts are basically around ten years old. There are no large animals.” Bai He reported.

After a while, Yang Wudi, Lou Gao and Bangchui all came back.

The island is not very large and does not have any minerals. It only has some medicinal materials for alchemy, so there is no need to learn more about it.

“That’s good. Since we don’t have much supplies, we can completely relax and have a good rest.” Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and smiled at the others.

After hearing what Li Xuan said, the others also laughed.

After everyone returned to the camp, it was already getting late, so Li Xuan and his men simply packed up and went back to their rooms to rest.

Li Xuan was also a little tired, so after returning to his cabin, he fell asleep not long after.

……

The next morning, Li Xuan woke up early.

At this time, everyone else also woke up and began to clean the cabin, rinse the deck, and tidy up in preparation for the next voyage.

Li Xuan sat in his room and began to think.

It has been a month since we went to sea, and everyone has started to adapt to life at sea, so the next step is to get down to business. As for finding Poseidon Island, Li Xuan plans to talk to Lou Gao and Si Kai about the next sailing route.

In addition to searching for Poseidon Island, Li Xuan had another purpose for this voyage, which was to exploit various resources in the ocean.

After all, there are countless hidden treasures such as mineral veins, medicinal herbs and even soul bones in the sea.

To mine these materials, you need submarines that can operate in the deep sea.

It is most likely that submarines cannot be made on the Douluo Continent, after all, the level of technology is not up to par, but puppets are no problem, after all, puppets are solid, and there is no need to consider pressure or oxygen.

So Li Xuan decided to make some puppets to explore and mine resources on the seabed.

However, if they need to work on the seabed, the strength of these puppets needs to be improved so that they can cope with the complex situations in the sea.

Thinking of this, he took out his puppet book and began to select carefully.

Soon, Li Xuan selected six types of puppets, namely exploration, mining, medicine search, treasure hunt, surveying and fishing patrol.

The sizes of these six puppets need to be enlarged proportionally, and they will also be made with more precious materials.

In this way, the attributes of the puppet can be improved to the greatest extent.

The functions of these puppets are basically sufficient to mine ore and collect resources on the seabed, but a large number of puppets are needed to form a mining team in order to mine various resources on the seabed more safely.

In addition, these puppets can be paired with the Five Thunder Puppets after entering the sea.

In the water, the strength of the Five Thunder Puppet can be said to have increased countless times.

After all, fishermen can never beat those who use electric fishing. Of course, fishing is easy to provoke the uncle in the hat.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan returned to the space of the Zhantian Bottle. Li Xuan still had a large group of carpenters in his hands. These people had been living in the space of the Zhantian Bottle.

Li Xuan took out the remaining wood left by the 100,000-year-old soul beast. The density of these woods was extremely high, comparable to gold and iron. The puppets made from them should be stronger than other puppets and should be able to cope with the complex environment of the seabed.

After selecting the wood, Li Xuan found the carpenters and asked them to start processing the wood according to the drawings.

Hundreds of each puppet have to be made. After all, the ocean is so vast that losses are inevitable, and it never goes wrong to make more.

After arranging these tasks, Li Xuan returned to the island.

Li Xuan thought about it, and then went directly to find Lou Gao. Whether it was the next sailing route or the tools of these puppets, Li Xuan needed to discuss it with Lou Gao.

When he arrived at Lou Gao’s door, he found that Lou Gao was teaching his apprentice. Li Xuan was not in a hurry, so he sat at the door and waited for a while.

Not long after, Lou Gao discovered Li Xuan and invited him to the yard.

“Brother Xuan, you came without even telling me.” Lou Gao smiled at Li Xuan and said.

“I don’t have anything important to do. I just waited for a while.” Li Xuan smiled at Lou Gao and said.

“What’s the matter?” Lou Gao asked Li Xuan puzzledly.

“Hehe, please help me make some things, Mr. Lou.” Li Xuan said with a smile to Lou Gao.

“Hitting things? That’s great. Let these four little bastards practice. Their skills have all fallen behind after being out to sea for so long!” Lou Gao sighed and said to the four Sidi brothers with a look of disappointment.

“Mr. Lou, these are the blueprints.” Li Xuan said to Lou Gao with a smile.

“Okay, no problem.” Lou Gao took the blueprint and nodded. Everything was not difficult to make, except the alloy. It was a good opportunity to test his four apprentices.

“By the way, Brother Sikai, can you come out with me?” Li Xuan called to Sikai again.

“Ah?” Although Sikai was confused, he glanced at Lou Gao, then nodded and came to Li Xuan.

“Brother Sikai, where did we get the nautical chart for this voyage?” Li Xuan asked Sikai seriously.

“Well, we got the blueprint of the nautical chart from a fellow villager in Hanhai City. We got five different copies in total. Mr. Han from Han Shucheng also got three nautical charts from ancient books. Then we drew the current nautical chart after careful analysis and bold speculation.” Sikai took out a two-meter-long nautical chart from the soul guide and showed it to Li Xuan.

After all, no one has gone out to sea for hundreds of years, and any nautical chart is not that reliable, so this voyage only has an approximate location.

“How about this, in a few days, when we are about to go out to sea, I will re-mark the location of Poseidon Island for you, and then you can move according to the location I give you.” Li Xuan said to Sikai.

“No problem, Brother Xuan!” Sikai said to Li Xuan without any hesitation.

“Mr. Lou, thank you for your hard work in preparing these things. I will go back first.” Li Xuan nodded, then clasped his fists towards Lou Gao and said.

“Okay, go back. Don’t worry, nothing will go wrong.” Lou Gao waved his hand.

Li Xuan turned around and left the high courtyard.

The weather was nice today, perfect for a walk, so Li Xuan found Zhu Zhuqing and they started strolling around the island together.

……

As the sun set, after Li Xuan sent Zhu Zhuqing back to her room, he returned to his own room and entered the space of the Zhantian Bottle.

At this time, there were a lot of parts piled up in the carpenter’s yard.

“Young master, we have already made the parts needed for the exploration and mining puppets, but the speed is a bit slow. We have only made the parts needed for two puppets.” The carpenter scratched his head and looked at Li Xuan nervously. After all, the processing speed of his people was a bit slow.

“It’s okay, that’s enough! These are all top-quality woods, so it’s normal that they are troublesome to process.” Li Xuan patted the carpenter’s shoulder and said with a smile.

Then, Li Xuan checked the quality of some parts. Each one had been carefully carved and polished, and the quality was very good. These carpenters worked seriously, and Li Xuan was very satisfied.

“Thank you for your understanding, young master. After a few days, when we are familiar with the work, the output can be increased.” The head carpenter said respectfully to Li Xuan.

“It’s already very good. I can satisfy you with anything you want to eat or drink. After the puppet is processed this time, I will take you out for a walk.” Li Xuan said to them with a smile.

“We are willing to do our best for the young master!” All the carpenters looked at Li Xuan excitedly.

“Okay, I’ll take the parts away. Get some rest.” Li Xuan put the completed puppet parts into his own little cave, and then left another batch of wood.

Then he left the space of the Heavenly Holding Bottle, returned to the island, adjusted his state and prepared to start making puppets. (End of this chapter)
