Hongmeng Refinement of Shinto

"I found it!" The mature woman took out a palm-sized token from the storage ring.

I don't know what kind of metal material the token is made of, it has a bronze color, and there is the word 'Tianma' on one side of the token, and after turning over the token, there is this word on the other side of the token A few lines of fine print.

The mature woman looked at the few lines of small characters on the back of the token, and said: "This is your identity token, the token needs blood to recognize the owner, so don't lose it, otherwise you will be a person without identity! Without identity, even if you have money in the future, you can't buy a house in Tianma City!"

"As for the village you've been assigned to, it's also settled. It's in Qianmu Village. It's a bit far from Tianma City, so it's not the best, but it's not the worst either. You can barely absorb a little spiritual energy to practice."

After receiving the identity token handed over by the mature woman, Lin Fan said thank you lightly.

Seeing that Lin Fan accepted the village's arrangement so calmly, the mature woman gave Lin Fan a surprised look, then stopped looking at Lin Fan, and shouted at a soldier standing guard outside the attic: "Gao Qiang, hurry up!" Come here. Here is an Ascendant who has completed the Millennium Mission and is assigned to Qianmu Village, and he will be handed over to you!"

As soon as the mature woman's voice fell, the young man in armor came over and said, "Got it, Sister Hua! Come with me!"

After speaking, the soldier named Gao Qiang turned and left.

On the way to Qianmu Village, perhaps feeling bored, Gao Qiang asked, "Did you not bribe Master Tianma Mountain who was assigned to the village when you allocated the village?"

bribe?

Lin Fan's heart moved, and he remembered that when he met Shi Tian and Song Hui, they had told him about the village allocation. At that time, they persuaded him to bribe Tianma Mountain, which allocated the village, in order to be allocated to a village. In a better village.

However, at that time, I felt that I had countless sacred stones on my body, and I could practice anywhere.He didn't take the words of Tokita and his wife into his heart, which is why the current situation is caused.

"Yes!" Lin Fan nodded lightly, and then asked, "Why? Is this Qianmu Village very bad?"

"I knew it!" Gao Qiang said with a look on his face that I guessed it right, "But your luck is not bad, and you were not assigned to the worst village. If you divide the villages outside Tianma City into three For the sixth and ninth ranks, this Qianmu Village is considered a seventh rank village, which is better than the worst ninth rank village, and can barely absorb a little spiritual energy to practice. If it is the worst ninth rank village, then you will be miserable! "

"Is this the worst ninth-class village miserable? Isn't it just that you can't absorb the spirit of the gods to practice? Can you practice with the god stone?" Lin Fan said.

"Cultivation with the Divine Stone? It's easy for you to say! Do you know how difficult it is to obtain the Divine Stone?" Gao Qiang's voice raised a lot.

"There are three main ways for ordinary people to earn low-grade divine stones. One is to go to the sacred stone mines to mine like an ascendant. After 1000 years, in addition to the paid sacred stones, there will usually be a lot left; the second is to go to the abandoned mines to find the sacred stones. Good luck It can also be found; the third way is to work, work for the City Lord's Mansion. Work for some powerful people."

"These three methods don't earn a lot of god stones, and there are even fewer after the tax once in a hundred years is removed. So many gods rely on absorbing the spirit of the gods to cultivate. Of course. Except for the three kinds just now In addition to the method, there are other ways to earn god stones, and they can earn more god stones."

"For example, go to the barren areas of the God Realm to find some rare materials or precious herbs, ores, etc. These can be sold in the city. It's just that this method is more dangerous, and finding precious herbs and materials also requires shrewd eyesight, isn't it? Common people can do it."

Lin Fan, who owns a large number of divine stones, has never worried about divine stones.Now after listening to Gao Qiang's words, I realize how difficult it is to earn God Stones in the God Realm!

"After talking about the sacred stone, let's talk about why it would be miserable to be assigned to a ninth-class village. The villages outside Tianma City are under the jurisdiction of Tianma City. Tianma City provides them with protection, so all villages have to pay to the City Lord's Mansion. Taxes. However, villages farther away from Tianma City will receive less protection, and the ninth-class villages are the farthest from Tianma City, so in addition to paying taxes to the city lord's mansion, they also have to pay taxes to the leaders of some powerful local forces!" Gao Qiang Said.

"The leader of a powerful force?" Lin Fan looked at Gao Qiang suspiciously.

"It's the King of the Mountain!" Gao Qiang said clearly, "Think about it, only about 8000 million people can live in Tianma City, and there are hundreds of millions of people outside. People outside have a difficult life, while those who ascended, Which one in the lower realm is not a generation of heroes? So many people went to the barren area and occupied the mountain as king!"

Lin Fan blurted out, "Isn't that just a robber? Why doesn't the City Lord's Mansion ignore it?"

"The city lord's mansion? The city lord's mansion is only acting occasionally. As long as these forces do not affect the city lord's mansion's rule, the city lord's mansion will not take care of it. Besides, there are not many people in the city, but there are too many people outside the city. , killing each other, so as to relieve the population pressure." Gao Qiang sneered.

"It's not easy to occupy a mountain as king? There are also gods and men in the village. If those who occupy a mountain as king persecute them too hard, won't the residents in the village resist?" Lin Fan said.

Gao Qiang sighed, and said: "You are thinking wrong! There are quite a few people who occupy mountains as kings, but those who dare to make villages pay taxes regularly are big forces, and generally small forces dare not do this. Those small forces Power also lives by robbing people who act alone."

"How big is the great power?" Lin Fan asked.

"There are three major forces outside Tianma City. If the City Lord's Mansion is ruthless, it is true that these three major forces can be eliminated. But the City Lord's Mansion cannot be ruthless, because at least dozens of mysterious gods must die to destroy these three major forces. You Are you willing to pay such a high price for the City Lord's Mansion, which only has a total of more than 100 Xuanshen masters?"

Lin Fan was shocked for a while, it would cost such a big price to eliminate these three forces!

…………

Leaving from the Shenshi mine, Lin Fan walked for several days under the leadership of Gao Qiang before arriving at Qianmu Village. On the way to Qianmu Village, Lin Fan also learned a lot about the things under the jurisdiction of Tianma City.

"This is the village chief's house, and the village chief will tell you many things." Gao Qiang walked outside a manor house very familiarly. The door of the manor house was open, and there were two middle-aged men inside, drinking and having fun. .

Gao Qiang walked in, and said to the middle-aged man with an elegant face, "Village Chief Qianmu, you should have been notified a long time ago. This is the latest Ascendant arranged for your Qianmu Village."

Village Chief Qianmu walked towards Lin Fan with a smile, and said, "I am Qianmu, the village chief of Qianmu Village, and you must be Lin Fan. These are some things that need to be paid attention to in the village, and I have prepared them for you."

As he spoke, Village Chief Qianmu handed Lin Fan a jade slip.

After Lin Fan took the jade slip, he scanned it with his divine sense, and immediately knew the information contained in the jade slip, then cupped his hands and said, "Village Chief, then I won't bother you, so farewell! Brother Gao Qiang, thank you for sending me here, too. Farewell."

After finishing speaking, Lin Fan simply left.

After Lin Fan left, Gao Qiang also cupped his hands and said to Village Chief Qianmu, "Then Village Chief Qianmu, I'm leaving too!"

In this way, Lin Fan temporarily lived in Qianmu Village.I usually live in a wooden house built by myself, and occasionally appear in the village to say hello to the people in the village and get to know the people in the village.

Sometimes Lin Fan would leave the village for a period of time, and the people in the village were not surprised by Lin Fan's actions, because many people in the village were like this.

Qianmu Village is a bit far from Tianma City, and it has to pay taxes to the City Lord’s Mansion every 700 years. Therefore, the way many people earn god stones is to pick some common medicinal materials from the mountains near the village and sell them in the city. Occasionally, they may encounter A precious medicinal herb would make a lot of money.

In a blink of an eye, it has been more than 200 years since Lin Fan came to Qianmu Village. During these 200 years, Lin Fan spent most of his time cultivating in the Hongmeng Palace. Now Lin Fan's cultivation level has broken through to the late stage of the Earth God, and the diameter of the small universe in his body has reached 30. [-] kilometers!

On this day, when it was time to pay taxes to the City Lord's Mansion, everyone in the village came to a square in the village.

In the square, more than 20 soldiers wearing standard battle armor stood upright at the forefront of the crowd, and the leader was a young man who looked at the people around him indifferently.

"Everyone, it's the same as in the past. Anyone who survives the divine catastrophe will have to pay a tax, and each person will pay 700 yuan for a low-grade divine spirit stone, one by one." The young man shouted.

Immediately, the villagers lined up consciously and went forward to pay taxes one by one.

Standing in front of Lin Fan was a young woman. The woman was wearing a blue blouse, with ink-dyed black hair pouring down her hair. She was a very temperamental beauty.

Not long after, it was the turn of the young woman in front of Lin Fan.

As soon as the young tax collector saw the young woman, a smile appeared on his indifferent face, and he said, "Sister Qing Luo, have you forgotten your Big Brother Qi Yan?"

The young woman Qing Luo smiled lightly and said, "How could I forget Big Brother Qiyan? I didn't expect that Big Brother Qiyan would be so mixed up in the city in just a million years."

"Sister Qingluo, this time I specialize in Qianmu Village. Tax collection is one aspect, and another aspect is to propose marriage to your parents. We also grew up in the God Realm together as Qingmei Xiuma. Now I can be regarded as some achievements, presumably You won't refuse?" The man Qi Yan looked at the woman Qing Luo with fiery eyes.

Hearing the man's words, Qing Luo's face flushed with embarrassment.

At this time, Qing Luo's parents came over, and the two looked at Qing Luo full of affection.

Qing Luo's mother looked at Qi Yan and said, "Qi Yan, I grew up watching you, and I know your feelings for Qing Luo, if you don't have a house in Tianma City, I won't let Qing Luo Follow you to suffer!"

Qi Yan quickly said: "Ma'am, since you know my feelings for Qing Luo, do you think I will let Qing Luo suffer with me? I have made it through all these years in the city, and I just bought it in the city not long ago. After leaving a house, Qing Luo will be able to enjoy happiness there after following me!"

Immediately, Qing Luo's mother's eyes lit up, and Qing Luo's father nodded slightly. (To be continued..)
