After semi-forcibly selling seven or eight bottles of antidote pills, Zhang Ran carried a jar full of spiritual essence and left the Bai family, which had been "ransacked", not very satisfied.

What? Why not be satisfied, you ask?

Of course, Bai Zhongshan couldn't afford to buy more pills......

After the last "civil lawsuit" incident, it took more than 30 catties of spirit essence for Bai Zhongshan to solve this matter.

It's just that the matter is solved, but the savings for many years are directly reduced by a small half, plus the cultivation expenses of everyone in the family, Bai Zhongshan's family is clean, and it is estimated that even Li Congdao, who is famous for his poverty, is richer than him......

"Cut! After more than 300 years of cultivation accumulation, I can't afford to buy only eight bottles, poor ghost! ”

Zhang Ran, who completely forgot that he caused others to turn from rich to poor, disdainful of Bai Zhongshan, and then aimed at his old friend Li Congdaoren, as if he was in a hurry to get rid of the pill.

In fact, it is true that the last time he went out to the Demon Domain, Zhang Ran deliberately squeezed the green snake for nearly ten days in order to prevent the tricky "poisonous demon", and refined more than 20 bottles of antidote pills.

But the war has just begun, and the news of the battle against the True Hero Demon King has come from the front, and the county guards, who have always been safe, did not dare to fight again, and hurriedly asked everyone to go back to their respective homes, making this war a tiger.

This indirectly led to Zhang Ran's detoxification pill not being sold, triggering the first economic crisis since he crossed over......

Although Zhang Ran will not be like pouring milk in the beautiful country back then, these things still have to find a few pick-up men to take over after all, so as not to really smash them in their own hands.

That's why we have this visit to the Qi Refiner......

"Next up is Li Cong."

……

When he heard the news that Zhang Ran came to the door, Li Cong admitted that he was panicked!

No one could have imagined that Zhang Ran, who was still a young man who first arrived in the county half a year ago, became the right-hand man of the county order half a year later, and even the power to collect taxes was handed over to this boy who was less than twenty-five years old by the county order.

If I had known that this kid was so bullish, I shouldn't have anything to do with him when I said anything, why did he become so passive now, so that he had an excuse to run to himself twice in three days......

"Lord Zhang's visit to our faction really makes my Songtao faction shine......"

As soon as Zhang Ran arrived, Li Congdao politely invited him to sit down, putting Zhang Ran's status extremely high, and the surface work was enough.

Zhang Ran smiled, he didn't eat him in his heart, and he came up to hit the point:

"Daoist Li doesn't have to be like this, I just want to visit Daochang Li here, and by the way, I recommend an antidote pill that I personally refined for Daochang Li......"

Good dog officer!

Just like Bai Zhongshan, Li Daoren heard this, and secretly scolded it, this is to buy and sell by force!

However, Li Daoren quickly calmed down and said with an indifferent smile:

"It's really an honor to be able to help Master Zhang's business, but Poor Dao has always been an idle cloud and wild crane, usually only refining qi and cultivating swords, and there are very few spiritual things, basically they are all paid as taxes, and they are really shy in their pockets......

He really didn't tell a lie, as we all know, Li Daoren is different from Bai Zhongshan, who is bent on accumulating spiritual essence for the rebellion, he is a pragmatist.

Li Daoren extracted spiritual essence just to pay taxes, and he was eager to use all his time on weekdays to cultivate, but this did not mean that he was a good boy who would not rebel, but it proved that he was a more determined rebel than Bai Zhongshan.

After all, smart people know that if you really want to overthrow the court, it is not whether you have more or fewer spiritual essences, but whether you are strong or weak.

Otherwise, no matter how many spirits you accumulate, you will only be a pig that the court wants to slaughter, and you have no ability to resist at all!

Because of this, the imperial court did not have a good impression of all the qi refiners, even in the face of Li Daoren, a "good" qi refiner who did not want to extract spiritual essence, the heavy taxes that should be collected still had to be collected.

In order to curb these cultivators, there is a specific clause in the imperial court's spirit tax:

All Qi Refiners must hand over more than ten catties of spirit essence every month, ten jin is the basic tax, no matter how many spirit essences you extract, you have to hand over at least ten catties.

If the total amount of extraction is more than 10 catties, it will be levied at a rate of 90%, and if the total amount of extraction is less than 10 catties, it must also be handed over at least 10 catties.

A lot of it is not less, do it yourself!

The imperial court doesn't care whether the qi refiners have grievances or not, and directly says that Lao Tzu never suffers a loss in collecting taxes, and if you collect enough ten catties, you are a good citizen, and if you don't collect enough ten catties, you are a non-national, and you need the education of the imperial court's iron fist!

……

Good guy, is it true that the skinny monkey can't squeeze the oil?

Zhang Ran frowned, and said in an unkind tone:

"Daochang Li, for the sake of you and me, I just thought about you when I had a good thing, and even brought the high-grade detoxification pill, don't make it difficult for old friends!"

Hehe!

Li Daoren directly said that he had already laid flat, and if he wanted to kill, he would have to listen to him, and if he didn't have money, he would have to die.

As long as I lie flat, you dog officer can't squeeze me......

Damn, you're really lying flat!

Zhang Ran was anxious, the Qi Refiner is the system of striving for progress, how can you lie flat? You're all lying flat, how can I still be a leek!

Why are Qi Refiners having such a miserable time? It's not all because you don't work hard!

Hurry up, I recommend a few books to you:

"Qi refiners do these things every day, and in five years they will become today's prime ministers"

"If the Qi Refiner of Jiao Ling Jing does this, sooner or later he will have his own feudal state"

"Xuanyuan turned into the bones of the capital because he gave up the struggle"

“……”

Zhang Ran secretly hated, but looking at the attitude of this salted fish, he really planned to lie down.

It won't work like this!

With a roll of his eyes, Zhang Ran thought about it, changed the topic, and deliberately asked:

"Daochang Li, I don't know if you repaired the damage of the flying sword last time?"

As soon as he heard this, Li Daoren, who was lying flat, instantly filled his vigilance and said:

"Why is Lord Zhang asking this?"

"Haha, it's nothing, it's just that I happened to get a piece of pure gold some time ago, and I might be able to repair the flying sword, so I thought about making a deal with Daochang Li."

Saying that, Zhang Ran sighed:

"It's just that, looking at Daochang Li's decadent appearance, he is not ready to make this deal with me......"

Between the flips of his palms, Zhang Ran had already taken out a fist-sized piece of golden metal from his sleeve and pretended to play with it in his hand unintentionally.

"It's ......"

When it comes to other things, Li Daoren may not be interested, but when he mentions his lifeline flying sword, he is immediately interested.

After Zhang Ran's permission, Li Daoren carefully took the fine gold and began various tests......

This piece of pure gold is the thank you gift that Zhang Ran got from Song Daren at the beginning, but Zhang Ran has not been able to find a place to use it, so that it has been in the red envelope for months in vain.

The First Cause of All Worlds

"Buy! I'm going to get this gotten! ”

Li Daoren was ruthless, and he no longer lay flat, but directly agreed to buy it.

After his testing, he found that this unheard-of [Adamantite Gold] actually has extremely high hardness and toughness, and not only that, but it also has incredible spiritual power channeling properties.

All in all, for a flying sword monk like Li Daoren, it is simply a treasure that is hard to find!

"But I really don't have a spirit ......."

Li Cong looked at Zhang Ran in embarrassment, and then looked at the essence gold in his hand, it is impossible to give up, if there is a choice, he will definitely buy it at a high price, and he will have to take it as much as he spends!

Even if you come directly to a business, it is not impossible to consider killing people and grabbing treasures.

It's a pity that I can't do it......

Intrigued?

Zhang Ran smiled slightly and said:

"In this way, if Daochang Li is interested, you can also use the installment payment method."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that within the next three years, you can pay me five catties of spirit spirits every month, until three years later, the goods will be cleared."

Zhang Ran smiled and pushed the fine gold to Li Daoren, and handed him the remaining ten bottles of detoxification pills, and said:

"Pure gold has been Daoist Li since then, even if you use it, there are also more than a dozen bottles of detoxification pills that I have personally refined, and they can also be given to you for free...... How is it? ”

Five catties of spirit spirit per month?

Li Daoren struggled a little, paying taxes was enough to squeeze his time, but now he has a "golden loan" again, do you want to cultivate in the next three years!

But whenever he saw that piece of pure gold, Li Daoren's heart trembled, if this kind of treasure was really missed, what a pity......

"Buy! Buy, buy, buy! ”

At this moment, Li Daoren turned into a chopper and instantly took on a heavy debt, which made him a little flustered, but the piece of pure gold made him inexplicably reassured:

One word, value!

Twelve months in a year, three years is thirty-six months, five catties of spirit spirit per month, that is one hundred and eighty pounds of spirit spirit!

It's a little expensive, but ...... Value!

"At most, two-thirds of the cultivation time is compressed, just three years, compared to my lifespan limit of more than six hundred years, it is simply doubled!"

Li Daoren comforted himself like this.
