Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

The five elements of evil energy in Zhang Xuan's Qi sea are like maggots attached to his bones. Although it cannot cause fatal damage to him now, it still makes him feel uncomfortable.

In the next few days, Hongyi has been stabilizing the true energy in the Qi sea without causing any trouble.

Other prisoners, after being baptized by the evil spirits of the Five Elements, have also become much more honest.

It’s just that the evil energy of the Five Elements in Zhang Xuan’s Qi Sea occasionally riots, making him gnash his teeth with hatred.

But half a month of duty was finally over.

Lao Li Tou, Zhang Xuan and Lao Youtou left on the prison ladder.

After leaving the underground prison, the long-lost pure spiritual energy finally surged in again.

Lao Litou and Lao Youtou let go of their absorption, and Henry Zhang also made a gesture on the side.

"You guys wait here for a moment while I go report to Lord Shouque on the situation in the underground prison." Old Li Tou said.

"good."

Henry Zhang waited while running the Thunder Fire Holding Yuan Gong to adjust the true energy.

Five people died in the underground prison this time.

I hope it won't be held accountable to him.

However, Henry Zhang was not worried either.

If the higher-ups ask questions, they will all blame it on Hong Yi.

Anyway, in everyone's eyes, Hong Yi is a female devil who can explode at any time.

Moreover, according to Old Li Tou, these five people are all "poor people" who can't extract spiritual stones, so they probably won't have much influence.

Waited for half a day.

Lao Litou finally came back again with a smile on his face.

"Everything has been reported to Master Shouque. Master Shouque is very satisfied. This time, the three of us will each get 100,000 more mid-grade spiritual stones."

As he said this, Lao Li Tou threw two storage bags to the two of them.

"This is……"

"The collected spiritual stones."

"So fast?"

Old Li Tou had only been away for half a day and collected all the spiritual stones from the 10 families.

This surprised Henry Zhang.

"Rich people like them paid a huge sum of life-saving money to our size C prison before they were imprisoned. They can directly access it with the consent of their relatives and friends outside. Who has the time to collect money one by one?"

Henry Zhang glanced at the storage bag with his spiritual consciousness.

It was discovered that there were 550,000 medium-grade spiritual stones inside.

"Isn't it just 100,000 more mid-grade spiritual stones?"

"Every time the prison gate below is divided, the golden elixir monks have 100,000 more mid-grade spiritual stones than the foundation-building monks. Of course, the foundation-building monks have 100,000 more mid-grade spiritual stones than the qi-refining monks." Old Li glanced at the old oil man.

The old oil man didn't take it seriously. This time he also got a huge sum of 350,000 mid-grade spiritual stones.

Following the temple owner, the oily old man now has very few places to spend spirit stones.

However, his impoverished life in his early years still gave him a heartfelt feeling of closeness to Lingshi.

He was naturally very happy to get so many spiritual stones.

"You only have to be on duty in the punishment room for more than a month. I will take you to rent a house first." Old Li Tou said.

"Thank you."

"First of all, let's talk about it. Houses in the Holy Land are not cheap. This place is close to the fourth-order spiritual veins, which is equivalent to the richness of the spiritual energy of the third-order spiritual veins, and the price is more expensive."

"How much spiritual stones does it cost to rent for one year?" Henry Zhang asked.

"If you want to have a separate courtyard, it will cost you 800,000 medium-grade spiritual stones per year."

"What?" Henry Zhang was surprised, "Why is it so expensive?"

"Of which 300,000 medium-grade spiritual stones need to be handed over to the Holy Land as tax."

"The annual rent of 500,000 mid-grade spiritual stones is too expensive!" Henry Zhang's heart ached.

"There are also cheaper ones, single-family rooms. There are hundreds of single-family rooms for sale in a building, and the annual rent is 300,000 medium-grade spiritual stones. However, if there are too many monks gathered, the spiritual energy will not be that strong."

"300,000 mid-grade spiritual stones are expensive!"

"If this is too expensive, then there is only Qingxiu Hotel, which provides 10,000 medium-grade spiritual stones for one year."

"This is fine."

"Don't agree so early. I haven't introduced you to Qingxiu Hotel yet."

"Tell me about it."

"The so-called Qingxiu Hotel is actually a way of living and renting for young monks who have just started their careers and don't have much accumulated spiritual stones. The advantage is that the price is cheap. On the edge of this fourth-level spiritual vein, 10,000 medium-grade spiritual stones One year is indeed cheap, but..."

"Nothing, I think it's pretty good."

"However, Qingxiu Hotel also uses a building style, divided into thousands of rooms in the middle. Each room has two floors of beds, and about 10 people live there. It can be said that there is no privacy at all."

"Is that so..." Henry Zhang looked back at the old oil man, "Wouldn't it be better this way? I can sit and talk with fellow Taoists around me, and I won't feel lonely."

"Hahaha... Yes, yes, I think there is nothing better than the Qingxiu Hotel. Even if they give me a free stay in a private house, I still don't want to go there." The old oil man also said with a smile.

Old Li Tou looked at these two people in surprise.

I'm afraid they are the only two people who can describe stinginess in such a fresh and refined way.

"Okay, I'll take you to Qingxiu Hotel."

"Don't worry about it now. I urgently need to buy the Qingsha Pill. Is there any way to buy it?"

"It's for sale on the 72nd floor. The price is 500,000 for a medium-grade spiritual stone."

"Is there any cheaper one?"

"If it's cheap, go to the black market. It's 350,000 yuan for a medium-grade spiritual stone."

"Then we must go to the black market."

"Have you seen the prisoners in No. C Prison? Some of them were caught evading taxes and buying and selling spiritual materials on the black market and were imprisoned."

"Is it that serious?"

"The Holy Land relies on taxes to establish the world, so the punishment for tax evasion is naturally very severe."

"Then let's go to the 72nd floor to buy it."

Old Li glanced at the two of them.

In addition to "stingy", Old Li secretly gave the two a title of "coward".

"Then I will take you to the Dandao Building on the 72nd floor. The Dandao Building is opened by the Internal Affairs Department of the Holy Land, and the Qingsha Pill is the most legitimate."

"Okay, thank you."

Old Li took the two of them and quickly came to the Dandao Building.

"I want to buy a Qingsha Pill." Zhang Xuan said anxiously.

It's really uncomfortable to be tortured by the five elements of evil spirits.

"Qingsha Pill is a controlled pill and is not sold to the public."

"Not sold to the public?" Zhang Xuan was shocked and glanced at Old Li.

Old Li smiled and said, "We are the prison guards serving in the prison."

"Prison guards are OK. There is a quota for buying a Qingsha Pill every year. Please show your identity token."

Zhang Xuan took out his prison gate identity token.

After confirming his identity information, Zhang Xuan successfully bought a Qingsha Pill.

"I wonder if this place accepts elixirs?" Zhang Xuan asked again.

He had almost spent all the spiritual stones on hand, and he needed a large number of spiritual stones to buy thunder attribute spiritual materials to practice the Thunder Fire Embracing Yuan Gong.

He learned from Old Li that if cultivators want to sell spiritual materials in the Holy Land, they must also trade with merchants on the 72nd floor and pay taxes normally.

If they trade with others privately, they will be convicted of tax evasion if they are discovered by the Holy Land.

Old Li looked at Zhang Xuan in surprise and said, "You should understand that the Dandao Building only accepts fine elixirs of level 3 or above."

He felt that such a "stingy guy" could not have level 3 elixirs.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuan said leisurely, "What I want to sell is level 3 elixirs."
