Chapter 638 Gift
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Tarrou returned from Rowan Island.
Oliver was relieved to see that she returned safely, no one followed her, and she didn't look like she was being blamed.
Chen Chuan thought this was very normal.
The Danliu Pavilion is usually located in a remote corner and basically does not pose any threat. Neither Canalong nor the Ocean Development Group can take any tough measures against the Danliu Pavilion right away, and there is no need to do so.
If a third-level fighter can be won over, he will become a help. If you choose to confront him, it will only increase the cost to yourself. If the news gets out, everyone in other fighting gyms will be in danger, and it will be even more difficult to deal with.
After Tarrou returned to the shed and drank the water handed to him by his disciple, Oliver asked about the situation with great concern.
Tarrou wiped his mouth and replied, "They just wanted me to re-register the fighting gym. They also wanted me to strictly ensure the number of people in the gym. If a third-level fighter appeared, they had to report it immediately. They also required us to train a group of students every year. In addition to the necessary tuition, they paid us subsidies and support."
Olive thought about it and decided that training students from outside was not a bad thing. On the contrary, he could make some money.
They don't keep the secrets of Danliu Kwan to themselves, but he is worried that over time those companies will have more influence on the fighting gym, and in the end they won't be able to decide what to do.
Tarrou added, "They said it's not just our Danliu gym that's doing this. They're saying that all the other gyms, including the three major gyms, are doing the same thing."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Oliver thought it was good news.
Because if they were all under the same control, the three major halls would definitely be under much more control than them, especially the An Yao Hall, so it would be difficult to do anything to them in the future.
Chen Chuan's mind changed. If this rule were implemented, the three major museums would undoubtedly be greatly affected.
This is inevitable because the three major museums and the Ferris wheel company are more or less involved.
Fenglin Hall is especially so. Because it has been the closest to the Ferris Wheel Company in recent years, it has received more resources and has the largest number of disciples among the three major halls.
Now that the Ferris wheel is gone, the three major museums will definitely be subject to continued targeting and suppression by the two companies.
Tarrou said: "They also said they were going to build a power station on the island, provide us with technicians and experts, and help us build roads, open schools, build windbreaks, and provide planting techniques.
There are a lot of things, but not all of them are free. They say they can provide low-interest or interest-free loans, but I don’t understand. I brought all the information back with me.”
She gestured, and a disciple following her immediately took out a large stack of information from his bag.
Gan Bo took it solemnly, flipped through it briefly, and sighed, "We don't need these, but the villagers down below really need them."
He thought for a moment, then put the information away, intending to go back and look at it later. He asked with concern, "Tarrou, have they... tried to find out about the rift?"
He was worried that these were all excuses and that their main purpose was to target the rift, because the abnormalities in the nearby sea area were very obvious. Once the Ocean Development Group arrived here, they would only need to do a quick check to know the specific situation.
This is a rift, and these big companies will not allow it to exist no matter how you look at it.
Tarrou shook his head. "No."
Oliver breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "But Tarrou has already obtained the secrets within the rift. After Mr. Chen uses it this time, we should try to use it less frequently in the future unless there are special circumstances. They won't be able to find it."
Chen Chuan didn't say anything about this. Strictly speaking, this rift now belongs to the pure faction. How to deal with it will definitely be arranged within the faction.
Seeing that Tarrou had nothing to do this time, he greeted the two people and went to sit on the lotus seat.
The next period of time was calm and no one came to disturb us, and in a blink of an eye it was August 20th.
Chen Chuan withdrew from his practice, looked at his watch, and then stood up. The branches in front of him slowly closed and the light shone.
Today is the last day of his planned practice, and he plans to return today.
He felt his own spiritual power. After such a long period of practice, his spirit had been greatly improved compared to before. It could be said that he had made great progress.
But he has not yet reached the peak of perfection, because his physical foundation is strong enough, which means that his spirit has a higher ceiling.
This is a good thing, but at the same time, it also means that he will have to invest more resources and time in cultivation.
So after I go back this time, I need to think of other ways to improve it.
Rift?
He thought about it and had some ideas in mind.
But that's for later, it's almost time to leave now.
He picked up the Xuejun Knife and the waterproof bag, then walked out of the crack and swam towards the sea that was emitting bright light.
When he returned to the cliff, he made a gesture, and the Chaoming in the sky made a chirping sound and landed beside him.
Then he packed up a bit, found Tarrou and Oliver, and said, "Gentlemen, I must go now."
Because he had mentioned this matter two days ago, the two of them were already prepared.
Oliver smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you helped us with the Danliu Pavilion this time. Tarrou and I discussed it and wanted to give you something to express our gratitude. There aren't many good things on the island, but we do have some local specialties."
He took a can, patted it, and said, "When Master Hongfa came to the East, he had only a scroll of scriptures and a bamboo stick with him.
The bamboo stick was later planted on the island, where a bamboo forest grew up, producing bamboo fruits every year, which were called "enlightenment fruits".
This bamboo fruit has the potential to enhance a person's potential. It can be taken by people of all ages, but some may find it effective, while others may not. If you don't feel anything the first time you take it, repeated use won't have much of an effect. This is all I've produced this year, and I'm giving this jar to Mr. Chen."
When Chen Chuan heard this, he knew it was indeed a good thing and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll take it."
Gan Bo smiled and took a set of clothes from the disciple beside him.
"This set of training clothes is made from silk from sea worms collected from the ocean, woven using traditional techniques. Past owners and ancestors wore this kind of clothing. It's very protective and breathable. While not as good as today's clothing woven from biomaterials, it's much more comfortable. Mr. Chen, keep it as a souvenir."
Chen Chuan nodded: "Thank you."
"And this..."
Oliver brought over a long cloth bag and opened it. He found a long bone inside with sharp corners on the edge. It looked a bit like the spine of something.
"Our ancestors once killed a huge sea monster in the sea. It escaped from a crevice, and after they cut open its abdomen, they found this thing.
We have always wanted to study its purpose, and later found that anyone who has cultivated spiritual power can use this thing to fight the sea monster in a dream and gain experience from it.
It's said that at the company, this thing is called 'Lost Items'...
"Lost items..."
Chen Chuan's heart moved slightly. He knew this. Companies and governments were trying to collect this thing. It was said that the technological development of many companies was related to this thing. He didn't expect that Danliu Pavilion was actually going to give this thing to him.
If this thing is sold to the government or a company, it will be worth a lot of money.
"Tarrou, old man," he said, "this is a very valuable gift."
Mr. Gan said sincerely, "Mr. Chen, we know the value of this thing, but we have never intended to sell it because it is just a souvenir and a tool to assist in practicing qigong.
Mr. Chen helped us obtain those secret teachings, but this thing is no longer of any use to us."
"Yes," said Tarrou, "my master and I have used it several times, but with little success. It is of little use to us. Mr. Chen, we have nothing to offer in gratitude. Please accept it."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Thank you, both of you. If you encounter any problems or difficulties on the island in the future, please let me know."
Tarrou smiled and said, "Of course, comrade!"
Chen Chuan nodded.
After saying goodbye to the two of them, he came down the mountain. As he walked down, students he had taught kept giving him some things from their homes.
When he came, he only brought a simple suitcase, but when he left, he carried a package full of things.
After arriving at the pier, he took a group photo with everyone, and then everyone saw him off to the ferry.
When he came here, he took a sailboat, but now he was taking a small ferry. They said that this was a gift from the Ocean Development Group to facilitate travel between the two sides.
The ship is free, but you have to buy the algae oil yourself. However, Danliuguan has its own land and plantations, so it can still afford it.
After the ship left the shore, Chen Chuan stood in the open cabin and looked at Taru, Gan Bo and a group of disciples standing on the dock. The latter kept waving goodbye to him. Some of them were short and jumped on the spot because they were afraid that he couldn't see them.
He couldn't help but smile and waved at them.
Chao Ming circled in the sky for a few times, especially around the teenagers and children, before catching up with the ship.
He sat down only after Feiguang Island gradually became smaller in his sight.
The boat was speeding back. It had taken him a whole morning to get here, but now the return journey took less than two hours and he had already seen Rowan Island.
When passing by the sea area where a reward of 50,000 was offered for the ring, we found that there were no ships there.
He asked the people on the ship, and they replied that these people had been dispersed by the Ocean Development Group a few days ago. They also said that the people who dropped the ring were a couple of scammers, that the ring was not valuable, and that the so-called reward was fake, so no one came again.
He thought that the ring might be fake, but the purpose of looking for something was real. Before he knew it, the pier of Rowan Island appeared in front of him.
