Although the business was closed and the shop changed hands, Tang Chuyang didn't plan to let the shopkeeper leave so lightly.

Of course, Tang Chuyang left the shopkeeper just to ask, not to keep people fighting, he had too many questions in his heart, and he needed the shopkeeper to solve his doubts, for the sake of the face of one hundred and fifty generals, the shopkeeper was also extremely cooperative, and it could be said that he would answer all questions.

The conversation lasted for three hours, and the shopkeeper wiped a cold sweat and left the shop, which he had operated for sixty years.

If you put it outside, the Heavenly Rank Monk is not something that anyone can befriend.

In three hours and six hours, Tang Chuyang put forward almost all the questions he could think of and asked the shopkeeper to explain them one by one, and the more detailed the explanation, the better.

The shopkeeper spoke dryly, Tang Chuyang didn't even have the heart to have a cup of tea, without him, he was reluctant to give up those Yunlong Xianwu teas that already belonged to him.

In Tang Chuyang's opinion, the most important thing in this conversation is to let him understand the unimaginable role of spirit runes and god summoning diagrams in Tidal Mountain!

According to the shopkeeper, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in Tidal Mountain is dozens or even hundreds of times that of the outside world, and if you can cultivate here wholeheartedly, for the monks, the cultivation speed can be described as coming in by leaps and bounds.

It's a pity that the ultra-high concentration of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi also means that the incomparably fierce Yuan Qi absorption speed, the meridians of ordinary monks are absolutely unable to withstand such an exaggerated Yuan Qi intake, and the only one can stabilize it. And the way to grow rapidly in cultivation is to fight, keep fighting!

But at the same time, because the vitality of heaven and earth is too strong, the demon beasts in Tidal Mountain are a little strong, and they are of the same level. The demon beasts were already much stronger than the human monks, and in the Tidal Mountain, some perverted demon beasts could even defeat a hundred!

In this case, if you want to defeat the monster, you can only use unconventional methods, such as the Summoning God Map. For example, the spirit rune, also because the vitality is too strong, the use of the talisman in the tide mountain, the effect is comparable to that of the king talisman!

To use a more direct example, use the first-order Heavenly Soldier-level Divine Summoning Diagram. In Tidal Mountain, you can exert the power of a second-order immortal soldier, or even a third-order divine soldier.

For example, Tang Chuyang's Dragon Heavenly Soldier Diagram originally had the strength of a fourth-order heavenly general, but when it was used in Tidal Mountain, the summoned Dragon Heavenly Soldier had at least the strength of a fifth-order immortal general!

This also made Tang Chuyang completely understand why the general talisman, which was originally not very precious outside, had such an exaggerated value in Tidal Mountain, waiting for the king talisman to be used. It is equivalent to the heavenly general being able to exert the strength of the immortal king.

With a span of strength of more than three levels, it is difficult to think that the charm is worthless!

"In such a context, the spirit rune master and the spirit painter must not die happily here?"

Tang Chuyang listened to the shopkeeper's words. At that time, such a beautiful idea was born, but unfortunately as soon as this idea was born, it was completely extinguished by the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper told him very bluntly that if Tidal Mountain didn't have so many elixirs and all kinds of top-notch spiritual ink materials, it could be said that the industry of spirit painters was the most reluctant to come.

None of them. Because of refining the spirit rune in Tidal Mountain, the essence of the Yuan Shen consumed was a hundred times higher than that of the outside world. The lower the class level, the more Genshin essence will be consumed!

At this time, Tang Chuyang also understood. The moment he entered the Tidal Mountain, what was stripped out of his body, Tidal Mountain was another small plane that existed independently of the Five Elements Continent, he was a truly free plane that was not restricted by the Upper Four Realms.

When entering the Tide Mountain Enchantment, all the restrictions imposed on the monk by the Upper Four Realms will be stripped away, which means that in the Tide Mountain, the monk can make a cross-line contract with other guardian spirits.

Because although Tidal Mountain can still summon the guardian spirit, the original god of the guardian god can enter Tidal Mountain, but the will of the guardian god cannot descend on this independent small world, which is equivalent to stripping away all the seals and surveillance that are imposed on the monks.

Of course, despite this, no one in the monks who entered Tidal Mountain dared to make a cross-line contract, and even Tang Chuyang did not dare to make a cross-line contract after knowing this information, unless he planned to stay in Tidal Mountain for the rest of his life and not go out.

No matter how good the Tidal Mountain is, after all, it is just a small world, compared to the Five Elements Continent, which has a vast and almost infinite area, species, and resources, it is not a level of existence at all.

After sending the shopkeeper away, Tang Chuyang began to entangle the materials in the store, this kind of thing naturally did not need him to do it personally, after handing over this task to Jin Yang, Lu Jun and Fang Wanxiong, he directly entered the back of the store and began to check the specific area of the store.

This shop pù does not belong to the owner of the shop, but to the settlement at the level of this small city, and all the taxes of the shop pù also go to the treasury of the settlement, and as for the people who manage the settlement, this in turn involves the rules of the eighteen settlements.

Tidal Mountain is open once every thirty years, each time it is open for three years, and it is closed for twenty-seven years, if you don't leave in time within three years of the trial, you can only leave Tidal Mountain after thirty years, when the second trial is over and the teleportation array is opened.

Eighteen settlements are said to be safe, but they are not safe and not safe, and they are not safe because every ten years, the monsters in the Tidal Mountains will besiege the eighteen settlements, and they are safe because for the other nine years, the settlements will not be besieged.

The most coincidental thing is that every year when the seal of Tidal Mountain is opened, there will inevitably be a demon beast attack, so the first test that all the monks who go to Tidal Mountain to participate in the trial must face is to resist the demon beast attack!

Only the monks who have experienced the siege of the demon beasts and are lucky enough to survive can continue to complete the next trials in the Tidal Mountains.

Because of the experience of the settlement being destroyed, more than 100 countries, such as the Four Poles Dynasty, the Thirty-six Heavenly Gangs, and the Seventy-two Earth Demons, had to make some rules to protect the settlements.

The rules are very simple, in the process of resisting the siege of demon beasts, the monk who has contributed the most to the protection of the settlement can serve as the city lord of the settlement, and the second to fifth and fourth monks who have contributed the most can serve as the deputy city lord in charge of the four city gates!

The benefits of being on the road are very great, first of all, you are exempt from taxes, living in a settlement is a security tax, even if you just sleep on the street, you have to pay taxes, and if you can't pay taxes, you can only survive outside the settlement, facing all kinds of unpredictable dangers.

The advantage of the city lord is not only that he is exempt from taxes, but also that he can have a thousand-man guard, which is also tax-exempt and has a special residence.

In addition, the lord of the city directly received 20% of the total tax revenue of the settlement, and as a private income, a thousand guards were also paid, and they were also drawn from the treasury.

Twenty percent of the total tax revenue of a settlement, this income is quite considerable, and every time Tidal Mountain is opened, 100,000 trial places will be issued, which is not the total number of all monks in Tidal Mountain, because there are more monks who have stayed in Tidal Mountain to develop in the past.

Even if you calculate it in a general way, when the number of people in Tidal Mountain is the smallest, the number is steadily more than 500,000, and the real safe settlements in the entire Tidal Mountain are only eighteen in total.

Each monk has to pay a security tax of 1,000 lower grade yuan crystals per month, and if you open a store, it is even more expensive, just to buy shop pù tokens, you have to pay 10,000 yuan crystals, and it is still a high grade yuan crystal, which is equivalent to 100 million lower grade yuan crystals, and the time limit is one hundred years.

The term of office of the city lord is thirty years, that is, the opening time of Tidal Mountain, even if it is the lowest tide, in the thirty-year term, there will be more than 100 shops open or close, and there are 10 billion lower grade Yuan Crystals here, and 2 billion belong to the city lord!

This is just the income from selling the store's pù tokens, and the annual tax of tens of thousands of monks is not a small number, after Tang Chuyang learned about this information, he privately calculated an account.

Calculated in the most conservative way, it will not take thirty years, just in the three years since the seal was opened, the income of the city lord will exceed five billion lower grade Yuan Crystals, and this figure will require the Tang family to develop and operate for at least five hundred years before it can survive.

And the income of these five billion low-grade Yuan Crystals is not just as simple as Yuan Jing, in a place like Plagiarism Mountain, the Yuan Jing condensed from the essence of the Yuan Shen is too precious, generally as long as it is not necessary, no one will be stupid enough to pay taxes with the precious Yuan Crystal.

Therefore, the way most monks pay taxes is that they get the harvest from Tidal Mountain, and this aspect is much more complicated, precious earth crystals, heavenly stones, top spiritual ink materials, even the worst, are all spiritual materials above the fourth order.

If the Tang family can obtain this material worth five billion, or even tens of billions of low-grade Yuan Jing, and give full play to the effectiveness of the material, it will definitely be able to become a big family of the Tianwei Dynasty!

And it's still the kind with medium strength!

Therefore, Tang Chuyang was tempted almost as soon as he knew this information, but it was too difficult to become a city lord, without him, there were too many masters of Tidal Mountain.

Especially those who have stayed in the Tidal Mountain for one term, or even three or four sessions, their cultivation can even be described as terrifying, such as the shopkeeper, when he entered the Tidal Mountain, he was only a three-talent realm cultivator, but today, sixty years later, he is already a Heavenly Rank monk.

Tang Chuyang's current cultivation is only in the late stage of the Liangyi Realm, and the demon beast attack will inevitably occur in the first year, but it is not without reason that he dares to have the mind to compete for the position of the city lord.

The source of his confidence was very simple, because Tidal Mountain was a completely independent plane, and the visitation of the Upper Four Realms was completely isolated, in this case, Tang Chuyang could already use his Heavenly God Golden Body!

If you add his status as a spirit painter, which can only be described as incredible, the speed of refining the Divine Summoning Diagram and the Spirit Rune, his chances of success can be increased a lot!
