Chapter 179: Protection Money

On the bright side, the seven forces in the Purple Mind Domain, including the Ancient Heart Sect, did not participate in the battle of the three major scattered cultivation cities, but the fact was that none of the forces dared to fight and fight with them, so it was called no fighting.

Among the seven major forces, except for the Gu Xin Sect, the other forces all have the interests of intervening in the three major fang cities.

For example, Shanshui Building.

All the places in the three major squares that have a little stronger aura are classified by them under their own names, and then build a spiritual cave in the Lingfu on it, and then sell it to earn spirit stones.

Another example is Fire Flame City, before the Yunbao Pavilion of Fengyun Mountain entered Liuyunfang City, they almost monopolized the trading of all spiritual objects in Liuyunfang City.

It is not difficult to see from the methods they used to deal with Jiang Chen before, how they exploited these loose cultivators who did not dare to argue with them.

Then there is the Lion Brake, this force has a monopoly on the sale of demon flesh and blood in the three major square cities, and the brute beef that makes the black bear full of praise is purchased from the forces set up by the Lion Brake in Liuyunfang City.

A pot of mangless beef has a low-grade spirit stone, and the average mang-cow in the innate realm can go down to about fifty pots, that is, fifty low-grade spirit stones, and the purchase cost of such a mang-niu requires thirty low-grade spirit stones.

You said that the monsters of the innate realm are not difficult for the monks of the same congenital realm to hunt, find a few more people, and hunt you five or six a day is not a problem at all, but under the monopoly of the lion brake, who dares to hunt the monsters and sell them to the vendors in the three major fang cities or the major restaurants.

All in all, the seven major forces relied on their own power to monopolize the most profitable spirit stones in the three major fang cities.

But if there is any force that they call for in the scattered cultivation forces, I am afraid it is not as simple as fighting, but a war where either you die or I die.

In this place where there is a lack of cultivation resources, cutting off resources is no different from killing people, and if it weren't for the disparity in power, how would the loose cultivators be willing to let them slaughter like this.

Of course, the seven major forces also understand that the reason why the three major fang cities exist is because of the huge number of loose cultivators, because they will not do too much, eat meat by themselves, and will also leave some soup for the scattered cultivators to drink.

And the people who drink the soup are only a small part of the scattered cultivators, that is, those scattered cultivators.

Taking Liuyunfang City as an example, the four most powerful scattered cultivation forces were the major forces that came to recruit Jiang Chen.

Zhenyun Gate, Rakshasa Gate, Tsing Yi Valley, Chen family.

Below these four major scattered cultivation forces are more small forces such as the Flying Dragon Society and the Heavenly Demon Pool.

The entire central area of Liuyunfang City was divided between these four forces, and they operated the 'soup' left to them by the seven major forces to live on this.

And most of these livelihoods are shady, such as green houses, casinos, protection fees, and so on.

The rest of the smaller forces are looking for something they don't look down on in the cracks between the seven major forces and the four major scattered cultivation forces.

This is the survival pyramid of the entire Liuyunfang City, naturally, at the bottom are those ordinary cultivators who have no strength, no power, and no courage, and they are no different from the people at the bottom in the mortal world.

As for why these casual cultivators didn't return to the mortal world, it was only because the mortal cities in this world were also in the hands of the cultivation forces.

For example, the Lingyun Sect has many mortal cities in its hands.

These cities are the most precious wealth of the Lingyun Sect, and it can continue to develop for a long time because it has continuously selected talented cultivation seedlings from among mortals.

Therefore, in these cities, there is absolutely no one who is allowed to arbitrarily oppress mortals, not because you are not allowed to have cultivation, but because you cannot use cultivation to oppress others.

In this way, casual cultivators can't use their own cultivation that is stronger than that of mortals to do things, which is equivalent to being the same as them, and it is also difficult to mix.

Moreover, the currency flowing in the mortal city was gold and silver instead of spirit stones, which did not have much effect on casual cultivation, and the spiritual energy in that place was generally not as rich as that from the scattered cultivation market.

All in all, many casual cultivators would rather struggle to survive and practice hard in the Fang City than return to the mortal city to be completely ordinary.

......

Following.

Jiang Chen took the three of them into the Zhenyunfang District, which belonged to the rule of Zhenyunmen.

"Where do you start to make it less abrupt?"

As he walked, the black bear beside him suddenly shouted: "Pavilion master, wild beef!"

Jiang Chen smiled, it turned out that they had unconsciously walked to the stall of the wild beef, and I don't know if the vendor had any ancestral recipe, and the wild beef soup boiled out was very fragrant and appetizing.

"Alright, go eat and eat. ”

"Long live the Pavilion Master!"

The black bear immediately ran up, put a high-grade spirit stone on the table, and shouted to the stall owner: "Boss, I want all the wild beef left today~"

When the stall owner saw the black bear, he was also smiling, but when he saw a high-grade spirit stone on the table, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This lord, I can't open your high-grade spirit stone~"

The black bear's eyes stared at the steaming place, and he didn't care: "It's okay, if you can't disassemble it, you don't need to dismantle it, it's all for you!"

"Ah, this can't be helped!" The stall owner is also an honest person, where is he willing to ask for it.

Jiang Chen walked over and said casually: "It's okay, just leave you there, and in the future, when my brother comes to eat, I won't charge him money." ”

"This, this ......"

As he spoke, a hand reached out from the oblique ground and took away the high-grade spirit stone.

When everyone looked at it, it was a young man with bitter eyebrows and a black mole on the left side of his face, with an ugly face.

I only heard him smile at the stall owner: "I said Liu Laohan, everyone has given it to you, you don't want it, are you stupid? I don't know how to do business, and in the future, this brother will eat as much as he deducts." ”

When Liu Laohan saw that the top-grade spirit stone was taken away by the other party, he immediately became excited, and stretched out his hand to take it back: "Even so, what are you doing with my spirit stone." ”

The young man squinted, raised his hand to stop it, and sneered: "Liu Laohan, you should pay the protection fee." ”

"Just hand it over, you put down this spirit stone. ”

The young man said: "This is the right to be your protection fee~"

Hearing this, Liu Laohan almost didn't jump up, his face turned red: "Isn't the protection fee only five lower-grade spirit stones? Why did you take away a high-grade spirit stone!"

"I said that you don't know how to do business, just put this high-grade spirit stone here and slowly deduct it~"

"No, you give it back to me!"

Liu Laohan started to fight, but he was violently pushed away by the other party and fell to the ground, and the true power belonging to the Kaiyuan Realm surrounded the young man.

"Liu Laohan, how fucking do you dare to rob my Zhou Ba's things? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu smashed your stall?"

Liu Laohan, who fell to the ground, pointed at Zhou Ba and was extremely angry: "You, you...... I've already handed over five lower grade spirit stones every day, why do you still ...... like this?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ba took a step forward, raised his foot and stepped on Liu Laohan's chest, squatted down under the other party's painful expression, and chuckled: "Old thing, I have the final say on the amount of protection fee, the price has increased today, if you dare to shout with me again, I will also give you a high-grade spirit stone tomorrow, hum!"

Suddenly, Zhou Ba felt that the palm of his hand was light, but the high-grade spirit stone in his hand was gone.

A few steps away, Jiang Chen smiled and swept the high-grade spirit stone in his hand.

Zhou Ba got up slowly, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Little guy, what are you doing?"

Jiang Chen said: "Brother, I'm walking with you." ”

Peer?

Facing the vivid doubt on Zhou Ba's face, the smile on the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth became even bigger: "I don't understand this? I also collect protection money~"
