Liu Li, Mom and Dad will be back soon

Don't dismantle your father's magic weapon, let alone rummage through your mother's wardrobe!

You have to be obedient at home

"Whew!"

With a low cry, Liu Li suddenly sat up from the rubble on the roof, and he looked at the street under the eaves in a panic, only to realize that he had just had a nightmare.

"What the hell, it's been so long"

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, with a slight sigh, Liu Li exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then lay back on the rubble covered with purple moss, staring blankly at the brighter and brighter fish belly white in the east

Since Liu Li had his own brain consciousness, the Xiuzhen world has been operating according to the established framework and model for more than 2,000 years.

This is a world ruled by "first-class beings" [Zhitian Clan].

The town where Liu Li lives is called "Heyang City", which is one of the tens of thousands of towns in the northern region of the Xiuzhen Realm.

Like other practitioners, in addition to cultivating every day, Liu Li repairs some damaged magic weapons for other practitioners, obtains spirit coins from them, and then takes out half of them and gives them to the first-class creatures in Heyang City, the "Zhitian Clan", the practitioners call the spirit coins paid "spirit tax", and only practitioners who pay a fixed amount of 2,000 spirit coins per month can continue to live in Heyang City as "third-class beings".

Few practitioners have pondered the question of why they have to pay a spiritual tax to the "Heavenly Clan" every month, which seems to have become an unwritten practice. Although Liu Li was occasionally confused, like other practitioners, he didn't have time to stop and think.

Cultivators who can't afford to pay the spirit tax every month will be driven out of Heyang City by the Zhitian Clan, and under this invisible panic, everyone who still wants to stay in Heyang City has worked hard to fight for a little spirit coin, just to be able to stay in Heyang City.

Because outside Heyang City, there are a large number of unbridled monsters and monsters, which will tear apart the cultivators who rush into their territory.

No one wants to be abandoned to that kind of place.

In the city, they can be protected by the Zhitian Clan, and the war-level magic weapon 'Punisher' refined by the Zhitian Clan can easily wipe out the monsters and monsters that attempt to invade, and here, the weak cultivators can live very safely.

It was difficult, but no one wanted to be expelled

"Little Brother Liu!"

Before he had gone far in the morning, someone called him from behind.

Liu Li turned his head and saw an old man in a somewhat old Xiuzhen suit, who looked to be in his fifties, chasing him.

The old man has dark skin and seems to be the result of prolonged exposure to the sun. His face was slightly lean, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked depressed and tormented by a difficult life.

Liu Li is no stranger to this old man. The old man has the cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, and is called 'Old Heizhu' by people he knows, because no one knows his name, and the generation of the same generation as Lao Heizhu seems to have been driven out of Heyang City and buried in the belly of monsters and monsters because they couldn't pay the spiritual tax.

In this world, in addition to cultivating the truth, practitioners must also learn some life skills that can earn spirit coins. A cultivator like Liu Li, in addition to cultivating the truth, usually has a minor: a magic weapon forger.

Able to help others repair damaged magic weapons, as well as forge magic weapons. Of course, with Liu Li's current cultivation, he can only help others repair the magic weapon, but it is precisely because of this skill that the spirit coins he earns, in addition to daily expenses, Liu Li can also afford to pay 2,000 spirit taxes every month, which allows Liu Li to avoid the tragic end of being expelled.

Of course, this minor also indirectly made Liu Li a well-known figure in Heyang City.

Once a practitioner's magic weapon is damaged, it must be repaired by the "Heavenly Clan", but the high maintenance cost is something that many practitioners cannot afford. Therefore, most practitioners prefer to come to Liu Li for help, just because Liu Li's maintenance fee is very low, and he is easy to get along with, over time, Liu Li has also become quite a famous figure in the area of Heyang City.

"Little Brother Liu, where are you going so early?" Lao Heizhu ran to him and asked with a smile.

"I'm going to go to the mines outside the city to dig some spirit mines, what's the matter?, Lao Hei, your flying sword is broken again?" Liu Li shrugged.

The so-called spirit ore is the most basic material that constitutes the magic weapon itself, and by refining its essence, it can also become a slur that is very sought-after among practitioners. However, the grade of the spirit ore must be higher than the third grade, and the spirit ore below the third grade can only be used to repair magic weapons and forge iron tools, and it is of little use.

"Yes, the day before yesterday, I went to the outskirts with a few cultivators to hunt a demon beast, and I wanted to take the opportunity to earn some spirit coins, but I didn't expect to break the flying sword instead. Lao Heizhu smiled bitterly and took out his flying sword and handed it to Liu Li.

In Heyang City, there are countless practitioners like Lao Heizhu who do not have a "minor", usually they can only form a group and go outside Heyang City to hunt some monsters and monsters for a living, and this kind of cultivator team who specializes in hunting monsters and monsters for a living is called the "demon hunting team".

There is a kind of crystal called "bone crystal" on the body of the monster monster, this crystal can be exchanged for spirit coins on the market, and it can also be exchanged for contribution points for the "Zhitian Clan", and with enough contribution value, you can exchange it for high-level magic weapons, high-level magic tricks and other things that are not allowed to be sold on the market.

Of course, you can also accumulate contribution points, and when the contribution points accumulate to 100,000 points, you can apply to become a "second-class being", and you will be exempted from paying spiritual tax and permanent residency.

However, Liu Li had never seen a cultivator accumulate a contribution point of 100,000 points, usually a bone crystal can be exchanged for 1 contribution point, but a demon beast must be killed by a demon hunting team composed of at least 5 practitioners.

Life is urgent, and the monsters and monsters are extremely ferocious, and the cultivators who make a living by hunting monsters either take the bone crystals to the market to exchange for spirit coins, or they have been buried in the belly of the monsters and monsters, and few people will exchange them for contribution points.

Liu Li took over Lao Heizhu's flying sword, it was a first-grade flying sword, the whole body was light blue, it was the most common first-grade flying sword in Heyang City, the name was Shui Qing Flying Sword, the power was very small, it was estimated that it could not even cut the most superficial scales on the body of some high-level demon beasts, not to mention any damage, it could only be used to interfere with demon beasts, so that high-level cultivators could have the opportunity to kill demon beasts.

Liu Li took a closer look at the crack on the blade, which should have been cracked by the bite of the demon beast.

Although the Shui Qing Flying Sword is the lowest-level magic weapon, it is also forged from the three-grade spirit ore, which is several times harder than steel, and the monsters and monsters that can gnaw at the Shui Qing Flying Sword with the power of their jaws alone are also very high-level monsters.

As far as Liu Li knew, outside Heyang City, only the fourth-level demon beast "Flame Demon Lizard" could do this kind of thing.

"You're going to hunt the Flame Demon Lizard?" Liu Li asked as he looked at the Shui Qing Flying Sword.

"Yes!" Old Heizhu said with palpitations: "Of our fifteen cultivators, two of them are masters in the middle of the Yuan Infant Period, and in the end, only five of them came back safely. ”

The Flame Demon Lizard, a fourth-level demon beast monster, a terrifying demon beast that wanders outside Heyang City, came from the dark underground, and ordinary cultivators encountered it, only to be torn apart, Shui Qing Feijian was indeed bitten by the demon lizard before there were traces of cracking.

"Your Shui Qingfei Sword has been repaired three times, and if it is repaired again, I am afraid that the power will become weaker and weaker, and it will not be too easy to control, which will greatly reduce your cultivation strength. Liu Li frowned slightly and said.

"Hey, I know, but you also know it, right? The Shui Qing Flying Sword sold on the market is ridiculously expensive, and a mouthful of Shui Qing Flying Sword costs 30,000 spirit coins! I have to support my family all day long, and I have to pay spirit tax every month, so how can I have spare money to buy a new flying sword?" Lao Heizhu sighed.

"Yes. Liu Li said that he could take care of it, it was really difficult to do anything without money: "That's it, Feijian, you stay with me first, and I'll make it up for you when I go back at night." ”

Lao Heizhu immediately smiled, and hurriedly said: "Then I will thank Brother Liu first, don't worry, I will pay a higher cost, after all, it is difficult to maintain such a broken flying sword." I still have to rush to meet with the team to hunt demon beasts, so I won't bother, some time ago, the child was sick, and I don't have the energy to hunt demon beasts, and if I don't kill a few demon beasts to exchange for spirit coins, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pay the spirit tax this month. ”

Lao Heizhu laughed at himself, shook his head and sighed and left.

Looking at the thin back of Lao Heizhu in a hurry, Liu Li shook his head lightly and sighed softly.

Life is not easy.

Regarding the level of magic weapons: I originally wanted to set the level to the level of ancient officials, but after thinking about it, I gave up this idea and decided to use the highest grade of nine and the lowest grade of one grade to divide the level of magic weapons (the rank of ancient officials is the opposite. ）

The levels of practitioners are divided into: foundation building, fusion, primordial infancy, distraction, integration, cave void, and Mahayana, and each level is divided into three stages: front, middle, and back.

Mahayana is followed by the sub-sage, which is tantamount to the existence of immortals, and the sub-sage is also divided into nine levels, from high to low, it is the first grade of the sub-sage, the second grade of the sub-sage, the ninth grade of the sub-sage, and so on
