That is, after a period of stunned, Ma Kaiyuan was no longer entangled in the title of a son. 1510 explained the situation of the tribute to Gao Fei.

The eighteen cities have to pay the materials for cultivating immortals to Changping every year, and because it is paid once a year, it is also called the annual tribute.

These materials include ores, spiritual grasses, elixirs, and instruments. Of course, spirit stones are also indispensable.

Every year, a city hands over 500,000 spirit stones, plus 100,000 spirit stones. Of course, if you don't have enough resources, you can hand over all the spirit stones.

The deadline for handing over is limited to 30 days, and if you fail to pay within the time limit, you will be disqualified from the city lord, which means that the city lord's mansion will change owners.

The city lords of the eighteen cities are all casual cultivators, even if there are sects or family cultivators, after experiencing the demonic calamity, all of them have now become casual cultivators.

Therefore, the competition for the position of the lord of the city is quite fierce.

The invasion of foreign enemies, whether it is a demon cultivator or other spiritual sects, the seven and eighteen cities are united to the outside world, rescue each other, if the rescue is unfavorable, the Changping faction will not spare people.

But there is no such restriction within the eighteen cities, there are attacks between the eighteen cities, even if one city destroys the other, the Changping faction will not care, you occupy the city as long as you pay the annual tribute on time.

Therefore, this tribute is also a vital part, if your city's tribute is robbed by someone else. It is also necessary to organize the handover of materials within 30 days, after all, the limit is 30 days, and if it is overdue, it will lose the city.

When to pay the annual tribute is a top secret for all cities. Anyway, you can do it any day in a year.

In this way, over the years, there have also been incidents of being robbed of the New Year's tribute.

There are not only wandering loose cultivators, but also other hostile cities. There are even monks stationed in other counties to suppress demons.

In the end, unless there is a strong city, the general city is to hand over the spirit stone, but the spirit stone is difficult to earn!

There are many specialties in the territory of each city, such as this Tokugawa Castle, which is rich in Jingyuan sand and muddy gold and iron. This kind of ore can be mined by miners, but the ore itself is not of high value, so the materials of these 500,000 spirit stones cannot be transported by a few storage bags alone.

But once the amount of materials is huge, escorting is a trouble, don't look at the value is not small, to be honest, it is really useless for ordinary monks to grab these things, and they are not good at refining weapons, so it is useless to keep them. These things are too large to be sold by the carrier.

Cashing in on these supplies?

Now that even the sect of the Great Instrument Sect is occupied by demon cultivators, who can purchase it in large quantities?

Besides, you are in a hurry to cash in, and the price of this material is getting cheaper and cheaper the more it is sold. In the end, the sale price was less than half of the purchase price of the Changping faction.

Are there still people who rob the materials when they are worthless? There are really people who rob them.

It's not too troublesome for these people to grab supplies, as long as you delay until you can't pay the annual tribute after the deadline. If the annual tribute is not paid within the time limit, once the position of the city lord is vacated, the Changping faction will take out the position of the city lord to bid.

It's okay to attack the city directly, but no one can guarantee that you can take down a city occupied by the Yuanying True Monarch, after all, if you occupy the geographical advantage, you will have the bonus of the formation. Therefore, forcing the city lord to give way is the most direct way.

Speaking of which, you will be clear, these people can not only use and sell the materials themselves, but may also receive a benefit.

If there are people who want to be the lord of the city, if they are weak, they hire people to snatch the tribute.

It seems safe to carry 600,000 spirit stones to hand over the annual tribute, but in fact, this one is more dangerous, spirit stones are not like spirit materials, this can be used if you grab it, and you don't need to cash it out.

So with 600,000 spirit stones to hand over the annual tribute, once the news leaked, I felt sore when I thought about that scene.

The most important thing is that including the city lord, they are all loose cultivators, who can entrust a few hundred thousand spirit stones?

What should I do if I don't want to be a person, and I just rolled up 600,000 spirit stones and slipped away halfway?

The city lords of the eighteen cities are all true monarchs, and there are also city lords who are not at ease to let their subordinates carry huge amounts of spirit stones, and they go to Changping to pay the annual tribute.

As a result, sadly, when he returned, the treasury of his city was robbed. Therefore, the city lord generally does not dare to leave his city easily, unless you have a group of helpers.

Cultivating your own power in the world of cultivating immortals is not something that can be done in ten or twenty years, and you are not at ease when you are old and have a high level of cultivation.

Those who are young and new can rest assured, but as far as cultivating immortals is concerned, who can cultivate a group of Jindan real people in ten or twenty years.

Suigong is actually a big test of the Changping party to the eighteen cities. If you don't have the strength, the Changping faction doesn't want it.

Even the Changping faction announced from time to time which city's annual tribute had not been paid, and how long was it before the deadline was reached.

Ma Kaiyuan said for an hour, but fortunately, he said it in detail enough.

After saying this, Ma Kaiyuan wondered why the city lord wanted to announce in public that the new deputy city lord was in charge of the annual tribute, you know, even those Jindan real people who participated in the banquet may not be of the same mind as the city lord, there must be undercover agents from other families.

It turns out that there are so many famous things in this year's tribute!

After Ma Kaiyuan finished speaking, everyone looked at Gao Fei together, at this moment, everyone understood that this matter was not simple, and the city lord had new ideas!

"There's a spy in Tokugawa Castle, right?" Gao Fei was silent for a long time, and suddenly his eyebrows furrowed, and he glanced at Ma Kaiyuan with contempt.

"The deputy and the son have a foresight, there must be spies in Tokugawa City, and there is no city in the eighteen cities that there are no spies. ”

Good for you, Yuan Qingzi!

Gao Fei doesn't have the mind of a demon, but he is not stupid, there are spies in Tokugawa City, and Yuan Qingzi said in public that he would let him handle the matter of the New Year's tribute, which clearly shows that he wants others to rob it.

If you can't grab it, it's the same for Yuan Qingzi.

Gao Fei was robbed by someone, so he was naturally three points shorter in front of Yuan Qingzi, and with this ability, he still wanted to restore the inheritance of the Divine Rune Sect?

Since it has been proved that Gao Fei does not have the ability to recover the Divine Rune Sect, then the best ending is to obediently take Yuan Qingzi to the Levitating Continent.

The rumors have already been released. If Gao Fei doesn't show his real skills, he really can't send the people who come to snatch the tribute.

If Gao Fei shows his true skills, then his identity is likely to be exposed, and he will be chased and killed everywhere by the true monarchs of the Quartet Realm, and Gao Fei's ending can only be to escape to the Suspended Continent. Of course, when you go, you have to take Yuan Qingzi with you!

As for Yuan Qingzi, will this harm Gao Fei's life?

This Yuan Qingzi also calculated very clearly, Gao Fei won the name of Jindan invincible when he was in the battle of sealing the demons, and after all these years, even if it was Yuanying Zhenjun who came to rob the New Year's tribute, it was not a difficult thing for Gao Fei to escape with his life.

If it was the true monarch in the late stage, maybe Gao Fei really couldn't bear it, but with the materials of 600,000 spirit stones, not to mention the true monarch in the later stage, it was almost impossible for the true monarch in the middle stage to come.

It's just that once Gao Fei's identity is revealed, he may have a little trouble, but according to Yuan Qingzi, an old fox, it is estimated that he has already thought of a plan to get out, as long as he is exposed to the barren mountain secret realm and opens it again, everything will be fine.

Dealing with this 'particular person', if you lose 600,000 spirit stone resources, you can completely surrender Gao Fei, why not?

This thousand-year-old monster is really not a simple character! Just such a casual sentence drove Gao Fei to a dead end.

No wonder Yuan Qingzi also gave a jade slip with a thunder forging body, Yuan Qingzi must know that after Gao Fei got this jade slip, he didn't care about asking about any more tribute.

If you don't escort yourself, it's obviously impossible, this is announced in public, there was no objection at the time, and now there is no chance, the old fox will not agree, and the pride of his own cultivator is not allowed!

"Childe, there's something strange about this!" Bai Wen also reminded on the side.

"Yes, yes, what does the lord mean?" the others chimed in.

This seems to be the city lord who clearly wants to borrow a knife to kill!

A Venerable Master in the late stage of foundation building, even if he brought these people present, it was really not enough for people to fight tooth sacrifices.

"Go back first, let me think about it, and come back at this time tomorrow. By the way, Ma Zhenren, arrange the spirit chef to cook a banquet for me every day, and I won't open the valley. ”

Ma Kaiyuan didn't hang his nose crookedly, the city owner borrowed a knife to kill you, it's good for you, and you still have the heart to eat and drink?

"Why don't I go and ask the city lord?" Ma Kaiyuan really didn't understand what the city lord meant. Arrange a deputy city lord, and let yourself follow, and then borrow a knife to kill people, is it necessary to be so troublesome?

If you really want the life of this deputy city lord, you don't need the city lord to make a move, just arrange yourself.

"Don't interrupt, you guys go back first!" After Gao Fei finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes in contemplation, without saying a word.

"This person has taken the handle of the city lord, is it not good for the city lord to kill the killer?" The five people left Goofy's mansion, but instead of going back, they still gathered together and whispered.

"Is it necessary to be so troublesome? If the city lord is not good, can't he just arrange someone to kill him and end it? Is it necessary to pay the annual tribute?"

"The key is what should we do? If we follow him to escort Sui Gong, it is estimated that no one will run, and Ma Zhenren may be able to escape. ”

"I'm not going!"

"What if he doesn't want to take you? ”

"As I said, it's not that simple. There's something we don't know about, let's see how he reacts tomorrow! In the end, it was Bai Wen who set the tone.

Don't look at these people, Ma Kaiyuan is the highest cultivator, Bai Wen is the head of the Tianfu Sect after all, and Ma Kaiyuan is regarded as the guest elder of the Tianfu Gate.

After Gao Fei figured out Yuan Qingzi's plan, he was always calculating, this matter is really a bit tricky, the key is how to break the game.

"Old fellow, I guess you're hiding in the practice room and stealing fun, right?"

If he was stealth, he sent the spirit stone to the Changping faction, and it is estimated that Yuan Qingzi will definitely not agree, and the old fox will definitely not give him 600,000 spirit stones.

The spirit ore worth 500,000 spirit stones is not something that a few storage bags can hold.

Still, old fox. You never dreamed that Lao Tzu has a mustard seed ring, right?

Thinking of this, Gao Fei hummed a little song proudly, made himself a pot of Fu Xi Qing tea, and then raised his glass to Yuan Qingzi's practice room, "Old fox, I salute you with a cup of tea, can you drink it?" ’

At the same time, Yuan Qingzi in the practice room sneezed and sneezed. 'Which one? Which one is talking about me behind my back? I guess it's the little fox, hehe, little fox, come and beg me, please don't let you escort the Suigong! "You have to find the latest chapters by yourself to read books?"
