Chapter 106: A bribe of 20,000 immortal stones
"The protection fee for fertile land is 50 fairy stones per mu per year. β
"The development tax of fertile land is 50 fairy stones per mu per year. β
"The dragon clan donated 300 immortal stones per mu each time. β
"Road repair donation, 50 fairy stones per mu per year. β
"The city wall repair donation, 50 fairy stones per mu every year. β
"Well, it's not too much, Mr. Duan, you only need to pay 2,500 immortal stones every year for your five acres of mountain land, and that's fine. β
On a small hill about five or six miles away from Salted Fish Castle, the butler with a goatee was meticulously announcing, and Duan Heng's eyes were about to jump out.
What are you kidding, he only spent 50 immortal stones to buy a courtyard, plus an additional two acres of land, it is only a hundred immortal stones, but this bastard told him so unashamedly that he has to hand over 2,500 immortal stones every year for these five acres of mountain land, and the extortion is too bottomless.
But this guy still has an innocent face, as if he has made a lot of money.
"Hey, man, you did it on purpose, right?"
Duan Heng suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice.
"Deliberately? You are also correct in saying this, the eldest lady personally ordered it, so I collect 600 immortal stones per mu in other people's homes, but you only need 500 immortal stones, you have made a lot of money this time, Mr. Duan, if I were you, I would definitely buy a hundred acres of land in one go." "The butler was still slow and methodical.
"Iβ"
Duan Heng was speechless, is this still called earning?
"What do you mean by that?"
"Hey, Mr. Duan, I think you have misunderstood, don't you know that in our immortal cultivation world, if we talk about the most cost-effective and once and for all deal, it is to hoard land and plant immortal spirit rice?"
"Of course, this is not to say that there is no more lucrative business than this, but to say, the income of planting fairy rice is the most stable, calculated by one acre of mountain field, about three hundred fairy rice can be planted, and the harvest of a year is three hundred stones, if the quality of the rice core can reach the yellow standard, it is sold directly in the salted fish fort, that is 1,500 fairy stones, and the net income is 1,000 fairy stones, but don't worry, yellow quality is only the most basic situation, in fact, as long as the dragon rain is obtained twice a year, then the fairy rice produced by an acre of mountain fields is at least about fifty percent, which is cyan qualityγ If you sell it in Salted Fish Castle, you will get a total of 2,250 Immortal Stones. And if all the harvested fairy rice is of cyan quality, then one acre of mountain field can earn 2,500 immortal stones a year!"
"Also, Mr. Duan, not just any Li Min can buy a mountain field and plant fairy spirit rice, let me just say this, in this immortal cultivation world, land is everywhere, it is worthless, what is valuable is a safe and stable environment, a stable purchase price, and the right to buy fairy spirit rice seeds, the most important thing is, can you invite the dragon clan to spread the rain? You know, even if it is an frog, asking it to come to the rain once, it will require at least 500,000 fairy stones. β
"So you look at those Li people, common people, Li people can be allowed to plant 30 fairy spirit rice per household every year, and the common people can be allowed to plant 10 fairy spirit rice every year, and those who can plant hundreds of acres or thousands of acres of fairy spirit rice are all qualified by the high-ranking families. If you hadn't saved the eldest lady once, Mr. Duan, with all due respect, you wouldn't be qualified to buy an acre of land in Salted Fish Fort in another hundred years. Of course, I will say it, you will listen to it, and finally decide whether to buy it or not, or you will decide. β
After listening to the housekeeper's words, Duan Heng was also quite surprised, he really didn't expect that this planting fairy spirit rice would have such a big benefit, it seems that Luo Qingniang is quite righteous, if this is really the case, then it is not as simple as giving him 5,000 fairy stones.
So after a little thought, he nodded and said:
"Okay, then I'll buy it, but, what kind of taxes do you have to pay now?"
"Of course not, how can you be accommodating with the things that the eldest lady personally ordered, these two thousand five hundred immortal stones, you can wait until a year later to hand them over, but it is only for this year, oh, and, when the dragon clan is raining, you don't need to pay attention to it, but you have to find a way to buy seeds, recruit common people to take care of the fields, harvest and other things, by the way, the six shops in the salted fish castle can buy fairy rice." β
After explaining, the housekeeper also walked away with his waist protruding, leaving Duan Heng standing on the small hill in a daze, to be honest, this had too much impact on him, because if this was the case, then it would be equivalent to a year later, he would be able to earn at least nearly 20,000 immortal stones.
20,000 yuan!
And that's just five acres of mountain land.
"No, things can't be calculated so simply, just like in a mass burial fort, even if you plant a hundred acres of fairy spirit rice, you may not be able to earn a single immortal stone in the end. β
Duan Heng let out a long sigh, just as the housekeeper said, the software and hardware involved in these five acres of mountain fields are not something that anyone can enjoy.
For example, the owner of this salted fish castle is very likely to be a descendant of a certain family who has been degraded, so he can enjoy peace in this desolate gluttonous state, and even the Sniper Demon Sanctuary does not want to provoke.
And if you are someone else, you want to farm, and in the blink of an eye, a group of demon corpses will be leveled for you.
Therefore, in this way, it has become a favor that he owes to Na Luo Qingniang.
Damn, what a calculation!
No wonder she threw out a thousand immortal stones so categorically to write off the friendship of help, and now it's okay, with this precious five acres of mountain fields in the account, I owe her a favor again.
At this moment, if Duan Heng still didn't understand, then Luo Qingfeng, Luo Qingniang's brothers and sisters had already seen that he was a cultivator of the Tong Sheng position, and he could find a piece of tofu and kill him.
Where are ordinary people worthy of such a woo?
But then again, after all, the family background is a bit of a background, and even winning people's hearts has to be so roundabout and play a little bit of emotion.
With a smile, Duan Heng also cleaned up his mood, he didn't mind being co-opted, especially when Luo Qingfeng's brothers and sisters were very likely to have a big future, Lu Buwei knew that strange goods were good to live in, why did he want to fake Qinggao.
After understanding this, Duan Heng was not hypocritical, and directly called back the housekeeper of the salted fish castle, and asked the daily cultivation of the five acres of mountain fields to go out, and then he was relaxed.
Sure enough, the five acres of mountain fields were quickly taken care of, and there was no need for Duan Heng to interfere at all, and he was happy to practice in the courtyard every day.
Although I can't see Luo Qingfeng, Luo Qingniang's brothers and sisters, everything is in plain sight.
A month later, Duan Heng was practicing the release prayer technique in his small courtyard, when suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the courtyard door, and then it opened silently, and Luo Qingfeng's housekeeper walked in with a smile, followed by a bearded man.
"Mr. Duan, it's so elegant. β
As soon as they met, the butler smiled.
"Yes, Lord Butler, I don't like greetings, so just say it directly, thanks to the trust of the castle lord, I am still willing to share his worries and solve problems. Duan Heng said very simply, he is now equivalent to taking the benefits of 20,000 immortal stones from Luo Qingfeng's brothers and sisters every year, and that must not be taken in vain.
He was very aware of this.
is just occasionally sighing, he actually turned into a disciple of a high-ranking family without resistance.
From now on, he is a passerby!
The housekeeper didn't think it either, and still said with a smile: " Mr. Duan, this is Xu Meng, but the Lord's personal guard, this time, the Lord wants to send him to the Troubled Stone City in the Great Wilderness Prefecture to send a letter, and the Salted Fish Fort is 890,000 miles away from the Troubled Stone City, this road is not very peaceful, he is alone, I am afraid that it is a little thin, however, Mr. Duan must also know that now the Sniper Demon Sanctuary is eyeing the Savage City, although the identity of the Lord is special, but it has to be guarded against, so he can't send too many people to escort him, uh, I don't know if Mr. Duan can help? Of course, as compensation, the Lord allowed Mr. Duan to buy five thousand immortal stones at will in the Northland Trading Bank, does Mr. Duan still have any questions?"
"Of course not, oh, no, I still have a little doubt, that is, can't this letter be transmitted through some kind ofβwell, similar to a teleportation array, or some kind of radio wave?" Duan Heng asked curiously, to be honest, he had been in this immortal cultivation realm for almost a year, but he still felt that many places were completely confusing.
"Radio waves?" the butler looked stunned.
It's just that at this time, the bearded Xu Meng sneered and said: "Steward An, what he said is a certain communication method in the three thousand small worlds, the kind that can talk for thousands of miles in an instant, but it is actually a certain variant of the evolution of the evil qi, which can be traced back to the thunder qi." β
"Oh, I see. The housekeeper was stunned, and then smiled: "Mr. Duan, are you referring to this?"
Saying this, the butler waved his hand, and saw a flame rise into the air, and then spread a curtain in mid-air, and on that curtain, the figures of the three of them appeared, including their previous conversation, it was exactly the same, if it was about clarity, it was much more exaggerated than the 3D stereoscopic projection on the earth, and the most important thing was that there was no loss in sound quality.
And when the butler waved his hand again, the flame curtain quickly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, the entire situation of Salted Fish Fort was revealed, like a 360-degree wide-angle lens shot by a drone.
"This is just an application of evil qi, any immortal cultivator of the child position can do it, Mr. Duan, haven't you always refined evil qi? I don't know if you understand, I can only tell you that if I am now in the middle of three thousand small worlds, then my red fire will be able to instantly transmit the words I want to express, as well as countless images, to tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions, trillions of miles away, it will not be difficult at all, and it can also accurately lock the recipient, I am afraid that it will not be worse than the 'radio waves' you said!"
"And the reason for this is very simple, there is almost no demonic qi in the three thousand small worlds, and the evil qi is also very thin, so I release the evil qi, there will be no interference at all, and those thin natives in the three thousand small worlds can use some kind of shallow, external skills to capture these evil qi, or generate, and then form that, what a mess, uh, that's probably it, but if you go to this immortal cultivation world, then I'm sorry, there are so many evil qi here that you can't imagine it at all, let alone transmit hundreds of thousands of miles, in fact, it is a cultivation master of the Son of Heaven, and it can only be transmitted within 10,000 miles, but this cannot be proved, some kind of 'creation' in the three thousand small worlds is more magical than cultivating the immortal realm, understand?"
Duan Heng was speechless, he really didn't expect that there was such a connection between this, it turned out that the electricity and wind on the earth were all some kind of very thin evil qi, but this still felt too ridiculous.
"What about the formations, such as the teleportation array or something. β
Duan Heng asked very reluctantly, of course, the main reason is that this Steward An came from the family and was well-informed, so it was the most correct to ask him such a stupid question.
"Ha, teleportation array, it seems that this is not the first time I have heard such a ridiculous question, to be honest, I don't even understand what the three words teleportation array represent, what is the core meaning of its existence, what kind of force is it relied on? But, it doesn't matter, Mr. Duan, I can tell you that the answer to this question is the same as before, that is, the evil qi and demonic qi in this immortal cultivation realm are too thick, so that they will form huge vortex black holes out of thin air, assuming that there is really that kind of teleportation array, or what kind of portal, how can you guarantee that there will be no evil qi vortex in a straight line? So, in this immortal cultivation realm, if you want to go to a certain place, you can only rely on it. β
"But then again, in the world of cultivating immortals, it's not that there is no such rapid teleportation technique, well, but that requires your cultivation to be at least above the governor's position, and at the same time to refine a certain evil qi to an extremely high level, such as fire evil, thunder evil, golden evil, wind evil, earth evil, etc., the core essence of these spells is only one, that is' Escape', such as fire escape, thunder escape, gold escape, wind escape, earth escape, etc., once released, hundreds of miles, or thousands of miles in an instant is not a problem at all, the most important thing is that since you rely on refining evil qi to escape, you don't have to worry about crashing into the whirlpool of evil qi. Of course, if you want this kind of retreat to reach the level of tens of thousands of miles in an instant, you have to be a cultivator above the Scattered Immortal Rank. Ahem, are there any questions?"
