Chapter 0509 No more tribute

When he arrived at the Elixir Valley, Zhou Dong's biggest feeling was "peace".

Peaceful nature, peaceful ecology, peaceful and non-murderous cultivators......

The elixir master has been dealing with medicinal herbs for many years, and in his cultivation, he is naturally contaminated with a trace of immortal wind and bone-like temperament, no matter whether the appearance is male or female, old or young, he has such a sense of spiritual beauty.

Especially those female cultivators, due to the limitations of their innate appearance, they may not have the appearance of a captivating city, but the smart breath on their bodies, the white and clear complexion, and the tranquility and playfulness that are deeply in line with the way of nature will make people feel bright.

Looking at these peaceful people, Zhou Dong took a deep breath, feeling a faint sense of relief and joy in his heart.

However, condensed by the joy in his heart, Zhou Dong didn't notice the bitterness that overflowed from the corners of the mouths of those elixir masters.

"Oh my God, what's the matter) The dignified Immortal of the Void Underworld Deigned to come here to be the valley master, and he definitely fell in love with the oil and water of the Elixir Valley. How much will this valley master have to loot this time? He can't be more greedy than those previous valley masters..."

After listening to Zhou Dong, the valley master's self-introduction, the elixir boy-like cultivator was also stunned, but he immediately reacted, and greeted back loudly with a smile on his face:

"The valley lord is here, the new valley lord is here, everyone is still stunned for what, don't hurry up for me. ”

Zhou Dong felt a little confused when he heard it:

"Oh, what do they want to do when I'm here?"

With the shouting of the elixir boy, the cultivators below reacted, and vigorously pretended to be happy and sad on their faces, and several male cultivators carried out a semi-recumbent rattan chair out of nowhere, walked over respectfully, and placed the rattan chair behind Zhou Dong.

"This ...... ,”

Zhou Dong's expression was stunned again.

He half-turned to look at the rattan chair, but saw that the chair was extremely delicately woven, the smooth design of the chair body was deeply ergonomic, and the thin rattan used was soft and tough, and when he lay in, he would gently sink his body into it, like lying in a soft and thick grass.

The elixir boy smiled flatteringly and said to Zhou Dong:

"Lord of the valley, please take a seat and speak for us again. ”

"Ha ......"

Zhou couldn't help but laugh emotionally.

I really didn't expect that the current valley master is really comfortable, and he can be served like this by others. Zhou Dongchang has never enjoyed such treatment since he was so old.

Thinking of this, Zhou Dong was not pretentious, and proudly turned around and sat in the rattan chair, half-lying down.

The ban on protecting the mountain is quite lofty, just like the green clouds floating in the sky, and in the faint mist of spiritual energy in the elixir valley, the flowers are bright, and a peaceful natural breath is like a fairyland on earth.

Zhou Dong sat here comfortably, and there were more than 300 people standing respectfully on both sides.

This scene made Zhou Dong laugh secretly: Am I dreaming!

Seeing that Zhou Dong was enjoying it, the medicinal herb boy waved his hand again and called the four female cultivators who looked quite watery.

The four female cultivators had a shallow smile on their faces, and two squatted down beside Zhou Dong and two walked behind him. The four of them stretched out their slender and delicate jade hands, and the two behind them kneaded Zhou Dong's shoulders, and the one squatting in front gently pounded his legs for him.

At this moment, the muscles in Zhou Dong's body stiffened.

"This is the valley master of the elixir valley in the cultivation realm, is this clearly the landlord master in the mortal realm? ”

Zhou Dongchang has never enjoyed such treatment since he was so old.

In the concept of Zhou Dong, men should carry the outside world on their shoulders and shelter their women from the wind and rain. Relatively speaking, women are weak and need to be protected and cared for by men, and women are meant to be distressed, not used to call like this.

Zhou Dong had never had the concept of a maid in his heart, so these four female cultivators came to massage him, and Zhou Dong suddenly turned red and became cramped and uneasy.

Zhou Dong grew up in a poor family and had a low social status, although he had been a superior for a long time, but he still couldn't adapt to the feeling of being served by others, in his heart, in the face of cultivators who were much lower than him, Zhou Dong had always been treated with a peaceful friend's heart.

"No, it doesn't have to be like that, get up. ”

Zhou Dong's face turned red and he ordered the four female cultivators.

Hearing this order, the four nuns looked a little confused, and slowly stood up uneasily.

The elixir boy hurriedly walked over, lowered his body and asked with a flattering smile:

"Valley Master, are their methods uncomfortable, or I'll change a few more for you. ”

The four female cultivators no longer massaged, and Zhou Dongfang came back from his embarrassment, and he glanced at the elixir boy lightly and asked:

"Don't bring me these things, I can't stand it, by the way, I said, what's your name......"

"Oh, Gu Master, my surname is Jane, you can just call me Medicine Boy, everyone calls me that, I have been called for hundreds of years, and my real name has now been forgotten by myself. ”

Jian Yaotong nodded and smiled.

"Oh, Medicine Boy......"

Zhou Dong shouted this sentence, and his heart was awkward to death.

This is an old medicine boy who has lived for hundreds or thousands of years.

However, looking at his appearance and personality, he is really no different from the medicine boy in everyone's impression, and he looks like he doesn't grow up, which is quite clever and likable.

"Medicine boy, let me ask you! What do you mean by coming here? It's a rattan chair and a massage, is it true that the previous valley masters were treated like this?"

"Of course.

Jian Yaotong's eyes widened and he looked at Zhou Dong in surprise.

"Valley Lord, didn't you know before, being a Valley Master in our Elixir Valley is the most enjoyable. And that's just part of it..."

"Oh?"

Zhou Dong's expression moved.

From Jian Yaotong's words, he could imagine the extravagance of the previous valley masters.

What Zhou Dong didn't know was that there was a reason for this.

Elixir Valley has always been just a miscellaneous place for low-level disciples of the outer gate, and an elite inner disciple is usually at fault before being punished here to serve as the valley master.

Although it sounds like the valley master is an official, the treatment here is far from comparable to that of the inner disciples, and the precious resources allocated to the inner disciples every year are not available to the valley masters.

Therefore, most of the successive valley masters were in a violent mood, tossing and torturing these weak elixir masters in an unbalanced state of mind, and the most terrible thing was that in order to make up for their losses, they made personal records of these elixir masters to an outrageous level.

These elixir masters are weak, and only in the elixir valley can they have a stable place to settle down, and no one dares to quit the Meishan faction lightly.

Therefore, in the face of the previous valley masters, they could only swallow their anger and bear it silently.

Today, seeing Zhou Dong, the immortal of the Empty Netherworld, come to be the valley master, the bitterness in the hearts of these elixir masters made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Empty Netherworld, how high is the vision of such a cultivator, this time we must not be exploited by him to the point of bankruptcy in order to satisfy his desires?"

After listening to Jian Yaotong's words, Zhou Dong raised his eyebrows lightly and said lightly:

"Medicine boy, I'm different from my predecessor, this rattan chair is indeed extremely comfortable, so I'll stay, but I won't need anything else in the future. ”

"Yes, Lord Valley. Listening to Zhou Dong's order, Jian Yaotong replied with trepidation, and then waved his hand to call the four female cultivators to go down, but at this time, another female cultivator walked up, walked to Zhou Dong's side and knelt down lightly, and presented a string of light porcelain tea cups, in which the faint tea fragrance in the turquoise liquid was long and long, making people feel refreshed when they smelled it.

"Valley Lord, please look at the tea!"

There was a hint of delicate shyness between the nuns' eyebrows, and her slender jade fingers contrasted with the tea cup.

Zhou Dong frowned and hurriedly stood up, turned sideways to avoid the nun's bowing, and reached out to take the tea cup in his hand.

"Get up, get up!"

Zhou Dong ordered with some confusion, and he admitted in his heart that he would never be able to get used to this kind of official style.

Everyone is an individual, they can be friends, enemies, or passers-by, but it is really unacceptable for Zhou Dong to let a cultivator who has practiced for countless years become his own subordinate, kneeling and worshipping in front of him.

You must know that when he was in the Qingmeng Continent, the most respected division commander in his heart, the invincible immortal M and the five ancestors of the mainland, were only in the infancy stage.

And now, letting a cultivator in the infancy stage kneel down and serve him, Zhou Dongguang felt a chill in his heart when he thought about it.

Seeing the valley master's expression, the kneeling nun glanced at the medicine boy, her eyebrows and eyes were full of surprise, and she stood up gently.

The flattering ceremony didn't seem to make the valley lord too satisfied, and Jian Yaotong was quite helpless in his heart, and he didn't know what tricks to use. ,

However, there is no way to avoid getting down to business.

Jian Yaotong smiled a little reluctantly at the moment, watched Zhou Dong sit down, lowered his body again and asked respectfully:

"Gu Master, you see that these of us are meeting you for the first time, and we don't know much about your preferences. I would like to ask, during your tenure, how much of our tribute will be paid?"

Hearing this question, more than 300 people were all stunned, and their worried and anxious expressions could no longer be concealed.

The female cultivators standing in front of them also had a rather confused look on their faces, fearing that Gu would be angry because they had not served well, and they vigorously increased the tribute.

You know, as soon as they saw the new valley lord take office, they put on such a flattering appearance, didn't they just want the valley lord to stretch out his hand and not hit the smiling person, and he was embarrassed to torture them more heavily.

When everyone was anxious and anxious, Zhou Dong groaned deeply.

There seemed to be tension in the air.

The entire valley now had only the faint sound of a light breeze blowing.

Those elixir masters were afraid that they would gasp and dissatisfy the valley master, and if they said one more number, then they couldn't be more miserable.

The income of the elixir master was not high in the first place, and in the situation of being recorded for many years, the net worth of each of them was actually very pitiful. If they encounter another valley owner with a lion's mouth, they may have to toil in vain for years or decades to come, and their income is meager.

In the nervous anticipation of everyone, Zhou Dong turned his head to look at the Jian Yao Tong and said slowly:

"Medicine boy, what...... Is it a tribute?"

"Huh?"

After listening to Zhou Dong's words, more than 300 people were all out of the ordinary.

Jian Yaotong was also stunned, he shook his head and said quickly:

"Valley Lord, there is this provision in our Meishan, and the Valley Lord of the Elixir Valley has the right to customize the tribute share. That is to say, you have to set a percentage of each of our annual income to be handed over to you. ”

Now everyone looked at Zhou Dong in surprise.

How can Meishan disciples not know the truth of tribute.

And which new valley lord doesn't take this tribute as the biggest thing to grasp?

"Oh. ”

Zhou Dong nodded, and continued to ask:

"What percentage of the tribute he set for the previous valley lord?"

Jian Yaotong swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, lowered his body and looked sad and forced:

"Returning to the valley master, it's five...... Forty percent!"

Jian Yaotong changed his words fiercely when he came to the front of the conversation.

The reference system of the share set by the last Gu Lord, no matter how much it was reduced by Jian Yaotong, was a great joy for the more than 300 elixir masters.

For this reason, Jian Yaotong let it go, and he was not afraid of being punished by the valley master in the future.

"Oh, so you have to hand over forty percent of each of your annual income to me?"

Zhou Dong asked with a faint smile.

"Yes!"

Jian Yaotong saw that Zhou Dong's eyebrows and eyes seemed to gradually reveal a trace of greed, and he complained bitterly in his heart, and his palms were sweating.

"How much money can you have?"

Zhou Dong continued to ask.

Jian Yaotong replied with a bitter mouth:

"Back to the valley master, probably, there can be about 40 million. ”

"Oh, not bad. ”

Zhou Dong nodded lightly, and was lazy to calculate in his heart, and continued to ask:

"So how much money do you each make a year?"

"Each of us can have about 300,000 yuan before we pay tribute. ”

"Oh. ”

Zhou Dong continued to nod.

Jian Yaotong lowered his head again and asked cautiously:

"Gu Master, look, are we still counting according to the tribute of the last session?"

Jian Yaotong secretly guided Zhou Dong with his words, if this valley lord was not too thick-skinned, he nodded and agreed to the tribute method of forty percent, then they could pay one less per year as before.

Jian Yaotong and all the elixir masters all pricked up their ears, and their eyes were fixed on Zhou Dong, hoping that he would happily agree.

They really sweated for Jian Yaotong, and also sweated for their future lives.

At this time, everyone was shocked to see Zhou Dong slowly shook his head and said lightly:

"No!"

Hearing this answer, everyone's hearts fell into the ice valley in an instant, and they felt cold, with a look of depression and despair in their eyes.

Their expressions were in a bit of a trance: God, I didn't expect to meet a greedy valley lord again, and now we have suffered again.

Jian Yaotong's mouth also had a strong bitterness, and he asked again:

"Then the valley master, do you think we are going to be good?"

"Alas. ”

Zhou Dong sighed, shook his head and said:

"I didn't expect that the life of cultivators at the bottom of the cultivation realm would be so difficult. I can only earn 300,000 dollars a year, so how can I bear to reach out to you with such a small amount of money.

Medicine boy, pass on my orders, I won't accept your tribute in the future, each of you should work hard and earn more money for cultivation. ”

When Zhou Dong said this, there was a soft and grand aura of compassion on his body.

"Huh?"

"What ......"

"Is this true?"

Zhou Dong's voice was not loud, but it was like a deafening feed, and the more than 300 people present were all dumbfounded.

Everyone looked at Zhou Dong in a daze, with an expression of disbelief on their faces, and they didn't believe that what they heard was true...... [This text is provided by the QQ group 97349073 recruiting newcomers]
