Chapter 37: Mountain King

The bamboo knocks on the waning moon and falls, and the chicken sings Xiaoyunsheng.

Qi Fan went out of the cave, summoned his dark clouds, sat cross-legged, and flew towards the northwest of Chang'an.

took out a map of Kanyu, pointed to a place called Hezhou Wei, and muttered in his mouth.

"There are no other mountains around here except the Two Realms Mountain, it's really troublesome......"

After putting away the map and walking in the wind, Qi Fan was in a good mood.

Anyway, he finally had his first serious job.

Hezhou Wei went dozens of miles to the west, crossed the border of mountains and rivers, and Qi Fan stood on a wasteland and took out his craftsman's order. The mana was instilled in it, the token buzzed, and in a moment a little old man wearing a black scarf came out of the ground.

"Little old man Hezhou land, dare to ask Zhenjun what to call me?"

Looking at the land lord who bowed his hand, Qi Fan hurriedly held it up.

"My husband doesn't have to be so formal, I just want to ask my husband about something. Can there be ownerless barren mountains and mountains around here? ”

The land is thoughtful.

"There are no ownerless barren mountains, they are all occupied by mountain gods and wild monsters. There is an ownerless wild ridge, but there is a mountain lord living there, General Yin, who said that he was going to guard the wild ridge and wait for his death to turn into a mountain god. ”

"Where is that ridge now?"

"Seventy miles to the east here, the South Mountain Range is not tall, but it is rugged and difficult to walk, and the ridge is full of mountain spirits, tree ghosts, monsters and wolves, and the demonic aura is pervasive, and it is extremely easy to recognize."

Following the direction of the land man's finger, Qi Fan came to a mountain range, his eyes flashed, and he found a cave with a strong demonic aura.

Inside the cave, General Yin was leaning over a table, his huge tiger claw holding a slender brush and carefully drawing on the wooden slab on the table.

The goat spirit next to him stroked his beard and pointed at the tiger spirit, while taking out a book and shaking his head and reciting.

Qi Fan, who suddenly appeared in the cave, couldn't help but feel funny when he saw this scene.

But he is an immortal, a true craftsman, so naturally he can't just lose his shelf.

"Ahem......"

Two light coughs caught the attention of the tiger spirit and the goat spirit, and they didn't expect someone to sneak in quietly.

With a tiger roar, the tiger spirit jumped to the table in an instant, his canine teeth exposed, and his five claws came out!

The goat spirit hurriedly picked up the fallen brush and wooden slip, and muttered in a sharp voice.

"Sven! Polite! ”

Looking at Qi Fan, who didn't make any moves, the tiger was carefully vigilant to the extreme, and on this person's body, he couldn't even feel the slightest mana fluctuation.

Then there is only one possibility, this person's cultivation is too much higher than him, but this person did not take the lead, and it seems that he is not necessarily an enemy.

So the tiger spirit put away his canine teeth and asked cautiously.

"Who are you? What's going on here? ”

Looking at the vigilant tiger spirit in front of him, Qi Fan replied.

"I am the true monarch of the Heavenly Court's imperial seal, and I want to requisition your treasure ridge for use."

Before the tiger spirit could reply, the goat spirit next to him came out and shouted.

"What? Don't give! Here you go, where do we live? ”

"Of course, it was not requisitioned for nothing. Heavenly Court will give a certain amount of immortal jade as compensation! Zivan proposed an option that he thought was tempting.

Immortal jade, whether for immortals or monsters, is a hard currency, with immortal jade, you can buy weapons, magic weapons, elixirs, and even the precious ginseng fruit.

Qi Fan had bought it once before with immortal jade.

The monsters in the mortal world naturally have no way to obtain immortal jade, and generally there is something going on in the heavenly court, and some monsters will occasionally be requisitioned and used to settle wages with immortal jade.

But this kind of thing is hard to come by, so for ordinary monsters, fairy jade is very precious.

Qi Fan also came to the Nether with indicators this time, after all, such a big project, there will definitely be expenditures, as long as it is within a reasonable range, the above will approve it.

After all, you can't just grab someone's land.

The Three Realms have heavenly rules.

The tiger spirit understood Qi Fan's intention, so he accepted the tiger claws, invited Qi Fan to the upper seat, and asked the little demon outside to boil water to make tea.

Looking at the cute big flower cat in front of him, it was really difficult to connect him with the fierce god just now.

Tiger Spirit handed over a cup of tea.

"The compensation that the Immortal just said ...... I don't know how much fairy jade it is? ”

Looking at the twisted tiger spirit in front of him, Qi Fan took a sip of the tea root floating in the cup and took a sip gently.

Although it is ordinary tea, there is a fragrance of herbs and trees.

"As you know, Heavenly Court has its own set of standards for levying places.

Of course, this set of standards is common to the Three Realms, and it will never favor any goblin who is willing to cooperate with Heavenly Court.

Your land, I saw it, it's not bad, but the place is a little small, and there are a lot of monsters.

If there are too many monsters, it is easy to cause accidents, and it is easy to rob homes and destroy living beings. Therefore, we can only pay the price of five hundred pieces of immortal jade at most for this piece of land of yours. ”

The goat spirit who was accompanying him was instantly excited and shouted at the tiger spirit.

"Five hundred immortal jade is too low, we don't sell it! It's not for sale! ”

The tiger spirit lowered his head and remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing the performance of these two goblins, Qi Fan was also helpless.

There is a standard for the place where the Heavenly Court collects, this kind of mountain range is at most five hundred, and the average hill is one thousand, and the larger place has to be decided according to the number of monsters and the thinness of the aura.

The goat spirit saw that he couldn't shout the tiger spirit, so he viciously said to the tiger spirit, "Anyway, I don't agree!" You still have merit! Then he slammed the door and left.

That's right, this is also where the tiger spirit hesitates.

They have grown up in this mountain range and cultivated intensively, and since they opened their spiritual wisdom and knew the existence of the heavenly court, they have restrained their subordinate monsters and not allowed to disturb the people without authorization, and for hundreds of years, they can be regarded as having some merit.

With this merit, he dared to say the words of turning into this mountain god after death, which is also the origin of the vast majority of small mountains and small mountain gods in the mortal world.

After listening to the tiger spirit's narration, Qi Fan knew what the problem was.

Immortal jade is easy to give, but merit is rare.

Although he created a layout for a path to Buddhahood, he didn't know if these monsters would be recorded in the credit book, and Qi Fan had no bottom in his heart.

But this kind of thing is not easy to ask Tai Bai Xing openly.

"Well, although you have some merit here, it is not certain whether you can meet the standard of being a mountain god. Otherwise, I will help you call the local city god and help you check, and if your merit is enough, I can apply for some more immortal jade for you as compensation. If your merit is not enough, then you can only obey the instructions of the Heavenly Court. ”

Hearing the word 'Chenghuang' mentioned by Qi Fan, this tiger spirit panicked for some reason, and waved its claws again and again.

"No, no! I am willing to obey the wishes of the immortals, and I am willing to present this mountain! ”

"It's Heavenly Court!"

Qi Fan deliberately corrected it, he didn't want to hang the reputation of this forcible land acquisition on himself.

But why did this tiger spirit suddenly panic?
