The extraordinary daily life of people with super powers

Liu Ruyan's voice rang out from the side: "The sect stipulates that all major cities must pay taxes every year. Even if Wumian City is in chaos, I don't think they would dare to directly violate the sect's laws, right?"

Taxation is one of the projects that Huashen Sect pays the most attention to every year. Although a single city means nothing to Huashen Sect, the influence of Huashen Sect covers an area of ​​thousands of miles and it has countless cities under its jurisdiction.

Collecting a little from here and a little from there, the total tax collected each year is considerable. Year after year, huge wealth is accumulated.

If someone wants to interfere with taxation, even a Golden Core cannot do so, unless the Yuanying True Lord speaks up.

"Of course the Faceless City dare not disobey directly."

Huoying Yun curled his lips and said, "But the account books they handed in were mostly forged, and the taxes they paid were at most a little bit above the bottom line set by the sect, which is not realistic at all."

"We are unfamiliar with the place and have low military power. It is impossible for us to force them to hand over the real account books."

"If we really do that, I'm afraid we will be in big trouble."

Huoying Yun's words gradually silenced everyone present.

They are not rookies either. They have naturally read the information about Faceless City before coming here. The person with the highest cultivation level in Faceless City currently is the ancestor of the Bai family, who has reached the Golden Core Realm.

In addition, there are several masters in the third stage of foundation building, and there are also quite a few in the first and second stages of foundation building.

Except for Yan Lehai who is in the foundation building stage, the rest are all in the Qi training stage, and the highest is only the seventh level of Qi training.

Although they are geniuses, it is impossible for them to defeat a master of the Foundation Establishment Stage at the seventh level of Qi training.

"Xia Fan, I heard that your grandfather is the lord of Faceless City. I want to see his methods in person." Huoying Yun changed the subject and said, "See if he manages Faceless City well."

Xia Fan frowned when he heard this.

I don't know why, but since joining the team, this Hokage Cloud has been targeting him. He hasn't taken any action against him, but he just likes to bully him with words.

If it was something else, Xia Fan would have just endured it. After all, the other party was at the seventh level of Qi training, a top genius with dual spiritual roots, and a disciple of a big family. It would not be good to provoke him.

But when it comes to matters involving the old man, no matter how much Xia Fan wants to endure it, he can't tolerate such a young and foolish guy.

"Hehe, you're just a defeated general of my grandfather. Why are you so proud?" Xia Fan said directly.

This made Huoying Yun embarrassed, and he said hurriedly: "I am now at the seventh level of Qi training, with dual spiritual roots and top qualifications. Your grandfather..."

"My old man won first place in the freshman competition."

"..."

When the first place was announced, Huoying Yun almost couldn't hold it.

During the freshman competition, he was walking fine in the illusion, but suddenly he felt a blood color in front of his eyes and lost consciousness.

When I woke up, I found myself in the square and realized that I had just been to an illusion.

He originally wanted to ask what happened and why he was bounced out, but he found that almost everyone around him was the same.

In the end, the sect leader said that the formation had changed, but the final result remained the same.

As a result, Mr. Xia Fan won the championship of the freshman competition with a result far superior to the second place, which made others despair.

"Your father must have cheated, otherwise how could the results be..."

"My old man is the champion." Xia Fan said mercilessly.

"You want a fight, don't you?"

Huoying Yun is young and energetic. He pretends to be calm in front of others, but he is actually pretending for Liu Ruyan to see.

Father, like son.

Perhaps Liu Ruyan herself did not realize how much she cared about Xia Fan. Because of this, many male cultivators who were interested in her were rather hostile to Xia Fan.

The most obvious one among them is Naruto Cloud.

"Humph."

Xia Fan snorted coldly, but did not speak. He kept calculating in his mind: "Thanks to the old man's spirit stones and secret books, my spiritual energy is now as deep as that of the average person in the late stage of Qi training, and is comparable to this Huoying Yun."

"At such a close distance, if we start, I can knock him down in three moves."

At such a close distance, neither side had time to take out their magical weapons or cast their secret techniques, and they had to rely entirely on their physical bodies to fight.

When it comes to physical combat, Xia Fan believes that no one among all the outer disciples can match him, because of the martial arts secrets left to him by his grandfather.

"The old man is worthy of being called the Champion Marquis. His martial arts are unfathomable."

"The sixth level of mortal martial arts, when practiced to the highest level, is only comparable to the fifth or sixth level of Qi training. However, I have only learned a few bits and pieces of the old man's martial arts secrets, but I can reach this level."

Xia Fan himself was a martial artist, and he knew how high his grandfather's martial arts attainments were. It was not an exaggeration to call him a martial arts god.

"Okay, stop arguing. You are all disciples of my Huashen Sect. How can you behave like this?" Yan Lehai said at the right time.

"Hmph." Hokage turned his face away.

Yan Lehai looked forward and said, "There is no fixed teleportation formation in Wumian City. We teleported a little off direction. Everyone, hurry up and try to arrive before tonight."

"Otherwise we'll have to sleep outside. I don't mind, but do you mind?"

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan frowned. As a girl, it would be inconvenient for her to spend the night outside, although it would not be a problem.

Hokage Yun, on the other hand, was used to being a young master and didn't want to sleep outdoors.

As for Xia Fan, he wanted to see his grandfather as soon as possible.

The three of them had their own thoughts, but they all quickened their pace at the same time.

An hour later, the group of four saw a city.

"Once we enter the city, talk less and watch more. Don't run around and follow my instructions." Yan Lehai said seriously.

He appeared serious on the surface, but in fact he was just trying to put pressure on these people. Deep down, he didn't care about the Faceless City.

There is at most one Bai family ancestor who is at the Jindan realm in Wumian City, and he can destroy him with just a flip of his hand.

Not to mention the Faceless City, he doesn't even care about the nearby Lawless Land.

With the supreme cultivation level of Golden Elixir, as long as he doesn't run into Yuanying Zhenjun, he can walk around anywhere with ease.

Not to mention that he has now gone a step further.

"Fellow Daoist Ansheng, you really did me a great favor. After meeting you this time, I have fulfilled a wish. I will start to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"From now on, life and death are unpredictable."

Yan Lehai never thought that he still had the hope of reaching the Yuanying True Lord during his lifetime.

How many top-level Jindan masters have been trapped in this realm their entire lives?

He had heard from Master Zhenhai that if one wanted to achieve Nascent Soul, a strong spiritual consciousness was the first element. Only when the spiritual consciousness was strong could the pill be broken into and the Nascent Soul be achieved.

But spiritual awareness is innate, and when it reaches a certain level, everyone’s strength is almost the same.

There is no method to actively improve the strength of spiritual consciousness. Only natural treasures offer hope.

"In ancient times, the number of Nascent Souls far exceeded that of today, and there were even occasional God-transforming ancestors walking around."

“But now, no new Yuanying Zhenjun has been born for a long time. As for the Shenhua Patriarch, except for the five major sects that have clear records of him, I’m afraid there is not even one in other forces.”

And the reason why it is clearly recorded is that the ancestors of the five major sects have not taken action for many years.

What is the cause of this situation?

It’s because of the decrease in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the gradual consumption of natural treasures.

Yan Lehai sighed in his heart: "If this situation continues, cultivation will become increasingly difficult. Perhaps many years later, the highest realm will only be the Golden Core, or even the Foundation Establishment."

The people around him didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing his serious expression, they immediately took out their magic weapons and looked alert.

Even someone as arrogant as Huoying Yun gradually came over and said, "Xia Fan, if there is a conflict, remember to protect Liu Ruyan. I will cover you."

"Shh!"

Liu Ruyan took out a long sword with a shiny blade and said, "I am a disciple of the Huashen Sect. I don't need any of you to protect me."

"Besides, in terms of cultivation alone, Huoying Yun, you may not be able to compare with me."

"This..." Naruto was stuck.

Indeed, in terms of combat capability alone, Liu Ruyan might actually be stronger than him.

"When traveling in the world, one more person means one more help." Huoying Yun laughed.

Xia Fan, who was watching from the side, exclaimed in his heart, "You're such a cool licker."

"There's no need to be so nervous, just follow me." Yan Lehai said.

Nothing is too much or too little.

Although these people are talented disciples, they are only about sixteen or seventeen years old, not yet adults. It is also their first time in the martial arts world, so they cannot leave any shadows.

Yan Lehai walked in front, while Xia Fan and the other two followed behind.

They had long heard of the Faceless City's great name, so they were mentally prepared even if there were situations of murder for treasure, fighting among factions, or murder over a disagreement.

But as they approached the Faceless City, they gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Is this the legendary chaotic Faceless City?"

"All the practitioners on the road were smiling. The one just now even greeted me."

“Why is the queue at the city gate so orderly?”

Xia Fan and the other two looked at everything around them in shock. They felt that they had not come to the Faceless City, but to some kind of mountain and water manor.

"Faceless City welcomes you to come and experience the exquisiteness of life in this small world."

Xia Fan silently read the words on a large banner on the roadside.

Huoyingyun also looked at another banner: "The land of dreamers is not a dream, the land of dreams is an attempt. The Faceless City welcomes everyone to realize their dreams."

Liu Ruyan looked at another banner, which read: "The faceless stage, come if you have a dream, we sincerely recruit practitioners of various formations. Once you pass the review, you will have no worries about spiritual stones and magic tools, and all kinds of cultivation secrets will be presented to you."

"After working for a certain number of years, you can retire. Your retirement pension and personal safety will all be provided by Wumiancheng!"

Looking at the various promotional slogans, Huoying Yun swallowed his saliva involuntarily, "Wow, even a young master like me is a little tempted by these words. Which casual cultivator can resist such temptation?"

"Brother Yan, haven't you been to the Faceless City? Is the Faceless City like this?"

Yan Lehai was also dumbfounded. He had been to the Faceless City, but that was hundreds of years ago.

"In just a few hundred years, the world has changed so much?"

The group felt as if they had come to another world, which was out of tune with the environment of Faceless City.

After a while, a beautiful female cultivator came over, looked at them, and said, "Is this your first time in Faceless City?"

"Yes." Yan Lehai nodded first.

"Then come with me here to apply for identity verification first." said the female cultivator.

"Identity proof?" Several people were stunned, especially Yan Lehai who asked, "I need identity proof to enter the city?"

"Don't we need proof of identity to enter the city?" the female cultivator asked.

"This... I think so." Hokage Yun answered stupidly.

Yan Lehai thought about it and felt that it was understandable.

After all, if strangers enter or leave the Huashen Sect, they need proof of identity.

However, that was the Huashen Sect, one of the five great immortal sects, so it was normal to ask for proof of identity. But in ordinary cities, one could enter by paying money, so asking for proof of identity was a bit outrageous.

"Senior Brother Yan, do we need to reveal our identities?" Xia Fan asked.

Yan Lehai shook his head: "It's a bit strange, let's wait and see what happens."

The female cultivator brought a few people to the other side of the city gate, where a big man was fiddling with something in his hand.

"Ding Yi, this is the first time for these people to come to our Faceless City. Please help each of them make an identity certificate."

The big man called Ding Yi raised his head and said, "I can only make a temporary ID. Long-term IDs must be obtained from the [Array Pavilion] in the city."

"Yes, I understand." The female cultivator nodded, then turned to the others and said, "I'm sorry, there are too many people who want to settle in our Faceless City for a long time. This is a new rule. I'm really sorry."

The female cultivator had a very good attitude. They had never seen a cultivator with such a good attitude before.

However, there is one thing they don’t understand: shouldn’t they provide the identity proof?

Huoying Yun asked, "Wait, if I heard correctly, this identity certificate is not for us to prove our identity ourselves, but you made it for us?

"Yes." The female cultivator replied.

"..."
