I can't live forever, so I have to reincarnate infinitely

Chapter 446 I have a trick, fight fire with fire

It's not that Duanmu Xi has never seen a beautiful country bumpkin, it's just that Su Quan is so alluring!

"Fellow Taoist Su, please speak."

"I have something to ask of you..."

Duanmuxi knew what to do.

You should maintain your airs, speak calmly, and leave three points of room before speaking.

But in front of Master Su Quan, he chose...

"Fellow Daoist Su, just speak up."

"It's really hard to say, but brother Duanmu, can you lend me five million spirit jade? I owe him seven million spirit jade. I can raise two million by myself. There’s still a shortfall of five million.”

Duanmuxi was like being showered with cold water from head to toe.

Suddenly, he was shocked and woke up.

Five million spiritual jade, is that much?

Or change the subject.

Is five million spiritual jade a lot for a mid-stage Nascent Soul monk?

Of course there are many.

Du Youqian, as the strongest monk in Monan in the late Jindan period, has been plundering Monan for many years, and his total net worth is only two million spiritual jade.

Note that this two million spirit jade includes all his equipment.

Not to mention other Jindan monks, even ordinary Yuanying early stage monks may not have Du Youqian's wealth.

But there will be a huge leap in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

After years of accumulation, most of the mid-Nascent Soul monks, including Duanmu Xi, can still have four to five million spiritual jade in total assets.

But his net worth of four to five million jade also includes the fourth-level magic weapons for his own use, his elixir reserves, some of the secret techniques and techniques he purchased, and even his plans to attack the Yuan Dynasty. Preparatory resources for the late stage of infancy and even the impact of becoming a god, as well as materials for making fifth-level magic weapons to protect the Tao in the future.

It would be good to have hundreds of thousands of spiritual jade that can be truly circulated and can be taken out at any time.

That's why Duanmu Xi felt distressed over the destruction of a fourth-level defensive magic weapon worth about 25 jade.

Because he has to take out all the assets he can use before he can buy himself a fourth-level defensive magic weapon!

Seeing Duanmu Xi's expression of embarrassment, Master Su Quan immediately lowered his head: "I'm sorry, brother Duanmu, it's my concubine who has made things difficult for you."

Duanmuxi smiled bitterly and said: "It's not because I don't help, it's because... five million spiritual jade is hard to raise."

He looked at Ximen Chuixue: "Fellow Taoist Ximen, can you please extend some time?"

Ximen Chuixue said expressionlessly: "Okay, I'll give it another month."

Duanmuxi just frowned.

He can't raise five million spiritual jade now, and he certainly won't be able to raise it in a month.

Let alone five million, one million is difficult to come up with.

"Can't we be more lenient?"

Ximen Chuixue didn't say anything, but just released the flying sword again.

"Okay, I understand. Fellow Taoist, if you show off your flying sword at every turn, you will have no friends."

Ximen Chuixue said expressionlessly: "I don't need friends."

Duanmu Xi was about to speak when the immortal city guarding monks who came due to the fluctuations in the fight between them all arrived one after another. Su Quan's personal followers Pu Yu, Shang Jian and Hu Po also arrived. Su Quan also arrived. Zhenren and Duanmuxi appeased their subordinates and asked them to leave, and then invited Ximen Chuixue to Duanmuxi's cave to continue the conversation.

In the cave, the maid brought spiritual wine and fresh fruits.

Duanmuxi pondered.

A huge debt of five million spirit jade. To be honest, if it were him, he would definitely kill the creditor.

But think about this creditor's swordsmanship... Forget it, let's think about how to raise money.

At this time, Duanmuxi had automatically assumed the identity of Master Su Quan's Taoist companion, and the debts of Master Su Quan were his debts.

But he racked his brains and couldn't figure out how to get this money in a short time.

At this time, Ximen Chuixue said, "This is your city."

Su Quan didn't answer, just turned to look at Duanmu Xi.

Duanmuxi thought for a moment, "That's right."

"Yes means yes, no means no. What does it mean to be a yes?"

Ximen Chuixue said this with a paralyzed face, which made Duanmu Xi very angry. He raised his voice and said, "This is my city."

After saying this, he felt a little guilty.

Because he is only the guardian of Huailai City, not the founder of the city, nor the ruler who sticks to his word.

He was not a monk from Huailai City, but after he was promoted to Nascent Soul, Huailai City lost its protection, so he and another Nascent Soul monk were invited to guard it.

Huailai City gives them a certain amount of offerings every year, which is regarded as their benefit fee. Generally speaking, Xiancheng will comply with any requests or instructions he has.

But this is really not his city.

Even the city defense formation is not in his hands, but is kept by the descendants of the city's founders. Only when encountering a life-or-death crisis will it be temporarily handed over to him to control the formation.

And he has been stationed in this Huailai Fairy City for hundreds of years, and he has never encountered a life or death crisis.

Ximen Chuixue stared at him for a while, and then said in a calm tone: "Since this is your city, it's easy to handle. You can increase taxes on the residents and monks in the city, and raise the taxes for the next ten years. To pay back the money.”

"Of course not!" Duanmuxi panicked.

Tax increase?

He is not the one collecting taxes.

Why should he raise taxes?

Ximen Chuixue still said in an emotionless tone, "Then you don't want to pay back the money?"

The less impulsive and unrevealed he was, the more flustered Duanmuxi became, "No, repaying debts is a matter of course. Isn't this a lack of money? It's impossible to raise taxes."

By this time, Duanmuxi had selectively ignored that it was not him who owed money, but the real person Su Quan... No matter how much money he owed, it could not be said that it had little to do with him, it could only be said that it had nothing to do with him.

But Duanmuxi is now thinking about how to pay back the money.

What he didn't notice was that Master Su Quan's spiritual consciousness was like a needle or a thread, quietly invading his sea of ​​consciousness. Without alerting him, he just fiddled with his thoughts a little.

With such superb skills and the crushing strength of his spiritual consciousness, Duanmuxi didn't even realize that he had been induced.

Ximen Chuixue refused to give in, "Then raise taxes."

Duanmuxi did not lose his mind, but his thoughts were quietly fiddled with. His thinking was a bit narrow and one-sided. He shook his head and said: "Raising taxes will not work."

"Come on, concubine," Master Su Quan frowned and said helplessly, "come on, concubine, to collect this tax. No matter what, fellow Taoist Ximen's money must be paid back. Fellow Taoist Ximen, during this time I feel sorry for you to stay in Huailai City first, and I will raise the money as soon as possible."

Duanmuxi opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything against it.

He felt that Zhenren Suquan would definitely not be able to accept the money.

She is a new guard, has no foundation, no connections, and has never contributed to Huailai City. Why should she raise taxes?

However, let her accept it. If you don't stop it, it will be the best help to her.

Ximen Chuixue thought for a while and nodded expressionlessly: "Yes."

When Ximen Chuixue left, Duanmuxi left Su Quan behind and said sincerely: "Raising taxes is not that simple. I believe that if you were still in Chen State, you would definitely be able to keep your word, but now your foundation in Huailai City is still shallow. , I’m afraid it will be difficult to get those people below to obey orders.”

Master Su Quan said in confusion: "Then what should we do?"

Duanmuxi smiled and said: "I already have a preliminary idea, but it's not perfect yet. Fellow Taoist Su, you'd better give it a try first!"

He had to let her hit a wall first, and his proposal would be a timely help.

"Yes!" Master Su Quan nodded gratefully.

Duanmuxi asked again: "Who is this real Ximen Chuixue and why have I never heard of him? How come you owe him so much spiritual jade."

"Speaking of which, he does not have a good reputation, but he has a great background. Although he is from the Endless Sand Sea, he went out to wander outside at a young age. When he went to explore a secret realm, he accidentally saved a disciple of the Holy Blood Sect. . That disciple of the Holy Blood Sect later became the inner sect and helped him many times, allowing Ximen Chuixue to successfully obtain elixirs, conceive a baby, and develop a superb swordsmanship."

Duanmu Xi said in shock: "It turns out that he is familiar with the inner disciples of the world's first-class sect, and he really has a good background. And since he has a similar affinity with that kind of demon sect disciple, it means that he is also a cruel and cruel person."

Master Su Quan's eyes flashed, "Yes, he is very cruel, and I really don't want to offend him. In fact, I didn't borrow so many spiritual jade from him, but because of the profit, I owed more and more. All we can do is helpless."

Duanmuxi frowned. Deep in his heart, he didn't want to confront such a vicious person. It would be best to pay off the debt quickly and have no contact with him from now on.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Ximen Chuixue stayed home for the next few days.

Suquan Zhenren was running around the city, trying to raise taxes.

But everyone rejected her and fooled her, and no one cooperated at all.

Su Quan, a frail and slender man, looks so thin and lonely from the back.

Duanmuxi felt that the time was almost ripe. On this day, he found Master Su Quan and coughed: "Fellow Taoist Su, there is no way to go on like this. Let alone a month, even a year or ten years, you can't do anything like this." Receive enough money to return it to fellow Taoist Ximen."

Master Su Quan said painfully: "But I have no other choice!"

"I do have an idea, but I don't know if fellow Taoists are willing to listen to it."

Master Su Quan quickly said: "Brother Duanmu, please speak!"

"I have a trick, which is to fight fire with fire. Isn't that fellow Taoist Ximen a murderer? We let him raise taxes as long as he can collect them. He will bear the bad reputation. We will not participate or stop him. We will wait until he collects enough five hundred Just let him go with the Wan Ling Jade... You can even ask him to collect a little more. The part that exceeds five million Ling Jade will be given to us. Fellow Daoist Su, what do you think of this idea?"

Master Su Quan gasped, and then looked at Duanmu Xi with eyes full of gratitude and admiration: "Brother Duanmu, you are really, really amazing. How could you come up with such an exquisite method! I have such a stupid brain. Unexpected."

Duanmuxi twirled his beard and smiled proudly, "Fellow Taoist Su, you don't have to be too modest. You just have a simple mind."
