Yunhe County.

Castle Lord's Mansion.

The city lord Mo Qianshan is an old man with a face like a crown of jade, he is more than one hundred and eighty years old this year, he looks kind and kind, and it has been more than thirty years since he was promoted to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building, and he has the supreme power in the Yunhe County region, and he is a veritable emperor of the soil.

During the period when Mo Qianshan had just become the city lord of Yunhe County, the people of the county did live a good life, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and after Mo Qianshan sat firmly on the position of the city lord, his greedy nature was slowly exposed.

The taxes in various towns are getting heavier and heavier year by year, especially in the last few years, Mo Qianshan feels that his limit is approaching, if he can't break through the Jindan period before the deadline comes, then no matter how powerful he is, it will be in the mirror.

Therefore, Mo Qianshan, who was already greedy, intensified even more, not only did the tax be several times higher than that of the surrounding counties, but also secretly organized people to pretend to be robbers and plunder around the territory of Yunhe County, intending to raise a huge fortune in the shortest possible time. At that time, he will use this huge wealth to go to the Treasure Hall to exchange for the much-needed cultivation resources, and then find a secret place and do his best to impact the Jindan Period.

As long as he can break through and achieve Jindan Ancestor, then he will be free.

As the saying goes: a thousand years of gold, ten thousand years of baby.

In the promotion foundation building period, the lifespan is only two hundred, but once promoted to the Jindan period, there will be a thousand years of life, and Mo Qianshan, who has reached the life limit in more than ten or twenty years, will have to fight anyway. If you fail, there's not much to say, but if you succeed, you're really making a lot of money.

As a result, in just a few years, the once prosperous Yunhe County has directly become a troubled place where the people are now struggling to make a living.

For this kind of change, Mo Qianshan didn't feel guilty at all, he was the kind of person who would do whatever it took for the sake of the end, as long as he got enough wealth and could redeem the cultivation resources that could reach his impact on the Jindan period, then this qiē was worth it. As for the life and death of the people in the county, he won't care too much, his own life is the most important.

This kind of great change in Yunhe County is not unopposed by no one, but the cultivation of Mo Qianshan to build the foundation of the Great Perfection can suppress all the voices of opposition. After all, although the city lords of each county are all cultivating in the foundation building period, too many city lords are only in the early and middle stages of foundation building, and only a very few have reached the cultivation of the late stage of foundation building and even the great consummation of foundation building. And like Mo Qianshan, who has reached the foundation building Great Perfection for more than 30 years, his strength is among the one hundred and eight counties of the Eastern Qi Empire, needless to say, they all belong to the top five super powerhouses.

In view of Mo Qianshan's super strength, although he has made Yunhe County miserable in the past few years, no one can help him. Many forces and families were forced to give up their industries in Yunhe County and move to other counties to develop. And with the migration and departure of these batches of forces and families, the entire Yunhe County became more and more depressed.

These Mo Qianshan were all in his eyes, but now he didn't bother to pay attention to them, in his opinion, if he couldn't be promoted to Jindan Ancestor in more than ten years, then when the life limit arrived, it would be nothing to do with him to run Yunhe County prosperously. And on the other hand, once he can be successfully promoted to Jindan Ancestor, he will have a thousand-year lifespan at that time, with his means, why worry that Yunhe County will not prosper again?

Therefore, Mo Qianshan didn't care what others thought of him, and he didn't care about the lives of the people of Yunhe County. After several years of unscrupulous plunder, both openly and covertly, he has indeed amassed a huge fortune. Just a few days ago, Mo Qianshan had already made a request to the Treasure Hall to buy a top-grade third-grade barrier pill.

The Barrier Pill, as the name suggests, is a special pill specially refined for cultivators to break through the barrier of cultivation.

Each person's cultivation is different, and this barrier pill is naturally divided into levels. The first-level barrier pill corresponds to the cultivation of the qi refining period, whether you are refining the first layer of qi or the tenth layer of qi refining, as long as you take a wall barrier pill, the probability of breaking through will be greatly improved. However, if you are refining Qi and breaking through to the foundation building period, then you have to choose the second-level barrier pill, because this is a great realm breakthrough, and the first-level barrier pill will not play a role.

Similarly, if it is to build the foundation of the Great Perfection and break through to the Jindan stage, this kind of great realm breakthrough must choose the third-level barrier pill, the first-level and second-level barrier pill is certainly not good, and the higher fourth-level barrier pill is also not good.

It's like a famous saying in the world of earth medicine, the right medicine is the right medicine.

All levels of barrier pills are refined for various realms, although there will be no consequences when used indiscriminately, but it is a great waste, with the sky-high price of barrier pills, few people can really afford to waste it.

Of course, it doesn't mean that everyone who uses the barrier pill symptomatically can make a breakthrough and advance, it also depends on what grade the barrier pill you take.

Each level of barrier pill is divided into five grades: lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, best grade, and superb grade. If you take the lower grade Barrier Pill, there is a 20% chance of being able to successfully break through. And if you take a medium-grade barrier pill, there is a 40% chance of being able to successfully break through. Then there is the top-grade barrier pill with a 60% breakthrough chance, the top-grade barrier pill with an 80% breakthrough chance, and the superb barrier pill with a 100% breakthrough chance.

In the same way, the price of each grade of barrier pill is also very different.

The reason why Mo Qianshan has been crazy about collecting money in the past few years is that he wants to buy a top-grade third-grade barrier pill.

It's not that Mo Qianshan doesn't want to buy a higher peerless third-level barrier pill, it's just that the price is not something he can afford. The price of this lowest grade third-grade barrier pill is already as high as 1,000 lower-grade spirit stones, and the price of the top-grade third-grade barrier pill is as high as 8,000 lower-grade spirit stones. As for the price of the superb third-grade barrier pill, it was directly doubled on the basis of the price of the best, reaching the terrifying price of 16,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Thinking about the taxes that Yunhe County handed over to the Dongqi Empire every three years, it was only a hundred lower-grade spirit stones. If it is to govern the county town and the towns under its jurisdiction according to the conventional method, in addition to all kinds of necessary expenses, those who can be put into the private pocket of the city lord will be supported by three or two hundred low-grade spirit stones. At this rate of making money, it would take at least seventy or eighty years to earn eight thousand lower grade spirit stones.

And in the case of Yimo Qianshan, where did he wait so long?

Then again, the main reason is that Mo Qianshan's qualifications are not good enough, and it has been hundreds of years since he reached the foundation building period, and anyone who changes will save a lot of money. But because Mo Qianshan's qualifications are not good enough, in order not to fall behind, he can only use spirit stones to cultivate extravagantly, and the money he usually earns can barely cope with his daily cultivation, where can he save a son and a half?

Without further ado, no matter what the people of Yunhe County think of Mo Qianshan, Mo Qianshan is in a pretty good mood right now anyway. After paying a large deposit, the Treasure Hall had already promised him that within half a month, he would send the best third-grade barrier pill he needed.

In fact, it is also Mo Qianshan's requirements are too high, if he only asks for a high-grade third-grade barrier pill, the Treasure Hall can give him the ready-made ones, after all, the strength of the Treasure Hall is not a joke. However, the best third-grade barrier pill, the treasure branch hall of Yunhe County is not in stock, so it can only be reported and sent by the superiors.

"Now that the hidden and safe retreat place has been found, just wait for the treasure hall to send the pill over, the city lord can rush the level, the success rate of 80% is 80%, and the city lord's achievement of the Jindan Ancestor is just around the corner. At that time, the ...... of Ji Ji "Speaking of excitement, Mo Qianshan, who was lying on the rocking chair in the study, couldn't help but laugh weirdly.

"Hehe, Jindan Ancestor, in my opinion, you have no hope in this life!" Just as Mo Qianshan's laughter seeped into people, a warm and peaceful voice sounded in his ears.

"Where are the rats, get out of here for the city lord!" In the brightly lit study, Mo Qianshan shouted violently, and the chaise longue under him shattered directly, and the person penetrated the roof at an extremely fast speed, and then his eyes shot around like electricity.

The movement here naturally attracted the attention of the members of the City Lord's Mansion Guards, listening to the words of the City Lord, it seems that someone avoided them and sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion, and now the City Lord has found out, this is their dereliction of duty!!

And the city lord's treatment of dereliction of duty has always been extremely harsh, so the members of the guard who are afraid and afraid really hate this person who avoided them and infiltrated the city lord's mansion, if they are punished for this guy's infiltration, then how wronged they are!!

For a while, I couldn't wait to wrap all the members of the escort team who had infiltrated the city lord's mansion and skinned and cramped towards the study, hoping to catch that bastard and atone for his crimes.

"Mo City Lord, I'm just telling the truth, why are you so excited!" Jiang He, who was dressed in white, came out of the darkness and said with a smile on his lips.
