Volume 1 Lanyun Continent Chapter 15 Exacting Taxes and Miscellaneous Taxes
The large flow of people actually brought such a reputation, Zhang Cheng didn't expect it at all.
The five people paid the deposit and took out an amulet to circulate.
"It looks good, but I don't know what the effect is, shopkeeper, before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, how much can such a talisman be refined?"
Zhang Cheng estimated and replied: "If the material does not change, you can refine fifty or sixty pieces." β
The tall man at the head then asked, "What material?"
"Snake molt, snake king's blood!"
A medium-sturdy and swarthy man in the back immediately asked, "The psychic medium of the Snake King's blood, you are not lying?"
"I only have the spirit medium of the snake king's blood, if you have a better spirit medium, we can discuss the details of the transaction. β
Several people looked at Zhang Cheng one after another, and once again circulated the talisman seal.
With the blood of the snake king as the spirit medium, you can engrave a faintly flashing rhythm of the talisman, and the shopkeeper in front of him is not a hidden master?
In fact, the spirit medium used by Zhang Cheng was a submarine gel, but he didn't dare to say it, but the refined snake king's blood also had such an effect, but the consumption of the snake king's blood was very large, and several copies of refining and purifying one also had the same external performance and stimulating effect.
The tall man at the head took out a jade bottle and five snakes and said, "Can you refine the talisman seal in person?" If you can practice the same as the one in my hand, the excess materials in the bottle will belong to you. β
Zhang Cheng took the jade bottle, pulled out the cork and probed it, and said in surprise: "This is too much, there are fifty copies." β
There is a one-meter radius space in the jade bottle, and one percent of the volume is filled with condensing spirit refining fat, which is a more advanced medium material than refining and purifying the blood of the beast king, and the submarine gel can only be compared to it with a little purification, which is a refined and purified natural mineral.
The other three were all women, and one of them was slightly chubby and said: "The condition is to refine in person, there is no magic circle to protect here, and you are eligible to obtain these materials if you can do it." β
Zhang Cheng felt that it was inappropriate, and excused himself: "It's too much, it is common sense to buy and sell fairly, these spiritual mediums are enough to trade ten talismans, there is no difference between refining in person and refining it in person, it will not increase consumption and burden, there is no magic circle protection and it will not affect the safety of the surroundings, even if the talisman is refined, it will not burst out of the overflowing energy impact, at most it will ignite a yin fire, and it can be controlled." β
The swarthy sturdy man and his companions were very surprised, but he spoke faster than the others: "Can you control the Yin Fire that erupted?" If you can prove it, we have all these talismans, as well as the two gems and the materials in the jade bottle." β
"It's not necessary, if I can put on a signboard, of course I have to have the ability to match, otherwise wouldn't it be a lie?"
After speaking, Zhang Cheng raised his left hand, and a faint orange-yellow flame jumped and emerged, and each of the five people reached out with a hand and approached to feel the flame: cold and piercing.
"Sure enough, it's a demon fire, how did you do it?" asked the youngest woman.
Zhang Cheng didn't want to cause trouble, so he raised his right hand and released a flame of the same color, and the five of them didn't need to get close to the temptation to feel the heat.
"This is my unique heritage, don't get me wrong. β
The five people are dressed differently, there is no unified sect dress, but from the words and deeds can be seen in the order of respect and inferiority, obviously often living together for a long time to be like this, the slightly chubby woman to the tall man to transmit the voice, and then said to Zhang Cheng: "We implore the master to refine an attack talisman in person, and the materials in the bottle are presented as observation fees, if the master is too little, I still have more than 100 catties of titanium steel here, I don't know if I can satisfy the master!"
"Refining talismans is my profession, I don't need to spend money to observe, but your materials are very interesting to me, and I won't tell you anything, I am short of any materials now, if the refining talismans can satisfy you, your materials will already make me overjoyed. β
The five people saw that he was not modest and received the honorific title of master, but their hearts were not steady, but for them, a little material was not worth caring about, and the tall man immediately handed over the five snakes.
"Let me start by saying that it doesn't have to be done all at once. β
"Understood!"
Zhang Cheng looked at the mess in the pawnshop, and took out the information bead to contact Xiaocui: "There are guests who ask to refine the talisman seal in person, I'm afraid that if you lose the important things in your shop, is there anything that needs to be kept?"
Xiao Cui's voice sounded: "You just hide the account book for me, if it is destroyed, I will know what is destroyed, how to compensate if there is no account book?" However, I can rest assured of Mr.'s means, it should be fine, you are free!"
Zhang Cheng hung up the information in a sneer, put away the account book and smiled shyly at the five people, but the five people were confused: This is the master's temperament?
The area in the shop is limited, and five people occupy less than half of the activity space, Zhang Cheng walked out of the counter and looked at it, and said apologetically: "The place is too small, you can stand and watch, at most ten minutes." β
The slightly chubby woman sent a message to a few people: "How can this look like a young man? I don't have the aura of a master at all, so I can't be blind!"
The tall woman who had not spoken all this time said: "It doesn't look like a young man, maybe it's because I've been cultivating for too long and haven't experienced the world!"
When the five people were discussing, Zhang Cheng stood still, picked up the snake and began to refine, first took a whole one and held it in his hand, and after the release of the fairy fire was soft and folded several times into a palm-sized piece, then the flame disappeared, and a thick piece of snake skin began to melt, and it did not become a flat piece for a while, and then, the snake skin began to fall off the slag and smoke, until it became translucent gum, and then the gum cooled, Zhang Cheng took out a shining spirit diamond hollow needle with one hand and began to stab it on the refined snakeskin like a flat plate.
After a few hundred stabs, a spirit pattern was formed on each side of the upper and lower sides, and when the inscription pen was put away, the snake skin began to melt again, and the spirit pattern on both sides did not change, but it was just covered by the melting gum on the surface to cover the point of the stab.
When it is cold, the rune paper is refined.
Next, open the jade bottle, the spirit diamond hollow needle is suspended in the air, a trace of silk thread in the bottle of condensation refining fat flying out and penetrating into the needle-shaped empty tube, and then the hollow needle quickly turns red, after a while, the heat makes the needle tube blazing white, and then the lower stab is engraved on the rune paper, and each pit leaves a little spirit medium of condensing grease, as if the wax oil is dripping in the pit of numbness, after about five minutes, the inscription pen that has been stabbed hundreds of times returns to normal.
Zhang Cheng put away his tools, stuffed the cork, and the suspended talisman in front of him floated towards the tall man: "Fortunately, it didn't fail, let's see how it goes." β
The five people gathered together, and the tall man touched the talisman seal and handed it to the chubby woman after a while, and passed it around one by one.
The sturdy black-faced man picked up a talisman on the counter and compared it, and asked the other four: "He actually refined such a good material at one time, which is several times stronger than the fluctuations he posed." β
"This is a technical cultivation that has become an idiot, I have no experience and don't know the world, but my skills are first-class, how can I hide in this broken place? Isn't it suspicious?"
"Third Senior Brother, I think we can buy all his things, how about going back and letting Senior Brother take a look?"
"Senior Brother Seventh is right, there are two talismans, which can stimulate one to try the effect. β
"Then as soon as possible, if it's really a good thing, let him practice as much as he can before the gamble tomorrow, there is no shortage of materials for the senior brother." β
"It looks more eye-catching than the baby given by the teacher, but I don't know what the effect is!"
"Little junior sister, don't talk nonsense, it's a good thing that my sister picked up a few years ago, it looks average, it's very powerful, you didn't see the reluctance of the master? If it weren't for a ton of aluminum ingots, how could it be taken out to protect the senior brother?"
"Senior sister, do you want to take out the fire talisman you have with you and let him identify it? β
"Good. β
The five people turned around and found that Zhang Cheng was gone, and there were only five of them in the pawnshop.
"What about the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper?"
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, here!" Zhang Cheng poked his head out of the middle with a bowl of noodles: "The jade bottle is on the counter, don't you see?"
The youngest woman's eyes widened: "You went to dinner?"
"I have to eat every two hours, I can't stand being a little hungry!"
The five people looked at each other: this is the master?
The tall man arched his hand and said, "I'm really sorry, we're delaying your meal here, master, we want to buy all the five runes and gems, and depending on your price, I'll exchange five hundred cockscomb flowers with you, okay?"
"No snakeskin?"
"And a few more. β
"Take them all, and make up for the rest of the deficiencies with cockscombs. β
The five people looked at the room, the remaining snake skin just now was gone, obviously swallowed unceremoniously by the master in front of him, the tall man was refreshed, and took out the snake molt transaction, and asked Zhang Cheng to leave the spirit refining grease before leaving, Zhang Cheng did not be polite this time.
Holding the tall man's name post, Zhang Cheng felt that the business was at a loss: "Li Guangyu, a disciple of the inner courtyard of the Demon Suppression Sect, such a good thing only gave him the market price, and let him make it!"
A large number of spiritual objects are placed in the shop, fluctuating and overflowing, and after a while, the Department of Commerce and Trade will collect taxes, take away one percent, leave a talisman to protect the store in accordance with the rules, and tell Zhang Cheng: If there is such a big transaction again this month, you can give away a shop twice as large for free, if there is business every month, give a piece of land alone, if the spirit objects need to be replaced or traded, every month on the night of the full moon, the Department of Commerce and Trade will be picked up by special car, and the transaction tax exemption fee will be paid to the monk's square city, but the custody materials need to pay a point of custody fee, and each custody period is one yearγ
Knowing that Zhang Cheng did not have a local identity, he contacted Xiaocui, and after registering the guarantee, he was given a wooden plaque: Technical Cultivation of the Outer Courtyard of the Demon Suppression Sect: Zhang Cheng!
As soon as the small officials of the Department of Commerce left, Xiao Cui ran over in a hurry, and ran home with a leather bag engraved with the lock spirit pattern, Xiao Cui just left for a while, the chief minister and the deacon of the Department of Justice came, and they belonged to the Ministry of People's Livelihood together with the Department of Public Works and the Department of Information and Information, and the two of them did not say anything when they came, but only told Zhang Cheng: The lord of the town has the final say, although the monk business has paid the tax of the Department of Commerce and Commerce, he may not be able to live a stable life, and it depends on whether the lord's yamen are happy or not.
Not long after the two of them left, the Technical Repair Division and the Inheritance Department came to register again, and each gave a wooden plaque, telling Zhang Cheng: If you join any of the divisions, you can get tax-free status, but you need to bring apprentices, and the apprentices are the designated candidates of the two divisions.
These two have just left, and the Armament Division came again, saying that the defense of desert beasts requires the payment of apportioned labor, and the Armament Division will issue a material to take back a skill product, once a year.
took a talisman seal and sent away the Martial Arts Division, and the Cultivation Division came again: Although your land is rented, but the Gathering Spirit Array and the Lock Spirit Array have become spiritual fields, if you pay 30% of the output every year, this land will belong to Zhang Cheng's private ownership, and the land is too small, those two sets of miniature magic arrays are enough to cover 200 acres, and let him go to the cultivation division of the land deed.
The cultivation division has not left yet, and a lieutenant has come to the Fifth Army Division: Pay the money, although it is voluntary to pay a military fee every year, but the town is too small, and there are few monks, if it is all voluntary, the soldiers of the first battalion of the five armies only live on the salary of the military department, and they can only drink the northwest wind every day.
Sending a red high-level card to reluctantly send away the captain, Gao Dong, the manager of the gladiatorial arena, came again: "Shouldn't you gamble more after entering the arena tomorrow?" You just bet on Elder Qin's eldest disciple to win, bet more and win more, if you don't bet, I'm afraid the future will not be easy." β
Helplessly, after contacting Xiaocui, he sent two hundred cockscomb flowers in exchange for a successful bet, and he didn't know what kind of quality the eldest disciple of Elder Qin was, but Zhang Cheng estimated that he had no hope of winning, otherwise why would the mayor have to blackmail him around the corner?
Xiao Cui was just about to leave, when the five monks came back, and the slightly chubby woman handed over a talisman: "Master, can you help me see how powerful this talisman is?"
Zhang Cheng was blackmailed and blackmailed, and when he was in a bad mood, he took the talisman seal and felt the rhythm and said: "It's just a rag, it looks like the emperor realm, but in fact, it's not even half of my talisman seal." β
"Are you so sure?"
"If you are willing, activate the talisman first, and then use this rag to attack, if you can't bear the five pieces, I will lose, and all the materials traded in the afternoon will be returned to you!"
"Five, didn't you say that your talisman could only withstand two blows from the peak realm of Wuzun?"
"If it is the combat power of a martial artist like you, even if you reach the peak, you can withstand you seven or eight times, the peak I am talking about is the strongest martial venerable on the Lanyun Continent, you are considered the oldest. β
The chubby woman almost died of anger, how can this guy talk, his stinky temper is like those old immortals of the Technical Cultivation Division, could it be that the temperament of technical cultivation is so arrogant?
"Okay, since you say so, I really have to try, there's nothing to be reluctant to, but in front of you, you don't have to pay for it. β
"If you dare to try, I will dare to pay, just two talismans, if you are reluctant, I will send you two to play tomorrow." β
Xiao Cui hurriedly tugged at his sleeve: "How can you do such a business? And don't you know that such a conversation between monks will make enemies?"
"I'm just telling the truth, is she not trusting me first, blame me?"
The people of Qi are scattered in the mountains all the year round and have little communication, and their temperament is straightforward and refreshing, they feel very good, but the people of Liang do not like it very much, and call the people of Qi the north.
