A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators.

Chapter 413 The Government of the Immortal City
  Jiang Ding looked around.

On top of the third-level high-grade spiritual veins, there are molten gold fruit vines as thick as an arm, dark brown, as if made of metal, and the leaves are the color of fiery red magma.

From time to time, a golden fruit grows among the branches and leaves. It is the size of a fist and is full of cracks. The deep red magma fire is flowing inside.

"The molten gold fruit is located on the third-level high-grade spiritual veins. It ripens once every ten years. It can be used to temper flying swords and produce third-level aura that increases their sharpness..."

Jiang Ding muttered to himself, looking at the things he planted with his own hands fifteen years ago, and now they have matured and harvested a batch.

"Forget it, this Gang Qi is just like that, it will become obsolete once it is promoted to Jindan."

"Save it up and use it to cultivate your natal magic weapon when the time comes."

The magic weapon of life.

Golden elixir monks can refine their own magic weapons. For monks who already have magic weapon embryos, they can directly refine the magic weapon embryos and turn them into real magic weapons. The power is much higher than that of the same level.

In addition, the growth of the magic weapon requires continuous warming and cultivation in the Dantian, or the incorporation of new materials and continuous refining, so that the magic weapon can continue to grow over time.

"The inheritance of the Flying Sword of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion has not been lost."

Jiang Ding thought about it for a moment: "It means combining some elixirs, constantly refining metallic heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and blending them in. The selection, combination, and refining techniques of the refining materials will affect the speed and power of the flying sword's growth, or increase the speed and power of the flying sword." What attributes are these? It’s very complicated.”

"But one thing is very suitable. No. 21 is synthesized from Geng Gold, which is extremely sharp and sharp. The Molten Gold Fruit is used as an auxiliary warming and nourishing elixir... If possible, we will specially develop a suitable set of matching sacrificial sword techniques."

"However, after obtaining the pill formation, now we still have to focus on the secret technique of pill formation."

His thoughts gradually drifted away, and it took him a long time to stop.

Jiang Ding stood up and flew to a distant hall whose entire body was made of second-level spiritual material lapis lazuli. The brilliant light of lapis lazuli bloomed and could be clearly seen dozens of kilometers away. It was a holy place in the eyes of many casual cultivators.

The meeting hall of Tushan Dojo.

There are also monks who secretly call this place the sect's main hall.

The gray-blue light fell on the main seat in the center of the hall.

"Goodbye, little uncle!"

Li Qingyun, Monk Fazheng, Gong Caiyu and other foundation-building monks all bowed down together with solemn expressions. Their voices vibrated and echoed in the hall, and there was a faint buzzing sound.

"sit down."

Jiang Ding nodded slightly.

People in this world attach great importance to a sense of hierarchy. If you want to drive them to do things, in addition to adequate remuneration, you must also pay attention to this aspect.

His spiritual consciousness swept across the Green Gold Hall, where there were forty-one foundation-building monks.

These are most of the foundation-building monks in Tushan Dojo. The rest are stationed in spiritual veins, mines, spiritual lakes, etc. in various places. There are a total of sixty-seven. They are also the force support that Tushan Dojo can manage by itself.

Roughly divided into two groups.

A group, headed by Li Qingyun, consisted of more than [-] people from the Seven Feathers Sect, who came to serve their junior uncle because of better treatment.

The other group was headed by Liu Hongtiao, a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment. There were also more than [-] people. They were casual cultivators from Yue and Chu. They came because of their spiritual veins and various elixirs and were employed by Tushan Dojo.

This is divided by birth. If it is divided by power, it can also be divided into law enforcement hall, taxation hall, agricultural hall, financial hall, etc. It is extremely complicated, no less than a country.

Basically, in addition to inheriting and cultivating disciples, Tushan Dojo has everything a sect should have, and it was built by the head of the Qiyu Sect and others.

Within a country, all kinds of things are complicated.

He will hold a meeting of this level every one or two years and spend some time dealing with various general affairs.

"Little uncle."

Li Qingyun sat down and stood up again, saying.

"The mountain owner of Baiyu Mountain, where the second-level spiritual veins are located, Xia Baoling, a monk in the early stage of foundation establishment, was killed by a group of Beiyuan robbery cultivators. After occupying Baiyu Mountain, he sent [-] spiritual stones to the dojo and promised to do so in the next ten years. Double the taxes.”

"This is the first time this has happened in more than ten years."

Previously, the second-order spiritual veins in various parts of the Demon Kingdom were basically ownerless, and there were more than the number of foundation-building monks. They could be occupied as long as they paid taxes, and there were no conflicts.

Now, over time, it is beginning to become saturated.

"Look,"

Li Qingyun asked: "Should we accept it, or something else?"

It can be seen that his preference is acceptance.

It's not a bribe, it's purely a consideration of the cost of governance. If every death of a foundation-building monk who rents a spiritual vein is retaliated for, the cost of governance will be too high.

If you let it go, you can spontaneously screen out the strong ones.

All those who occupy the spiritual veins must accept the unconditional recruitment of Tushan Dojo when necessary. It will also be beneficial to the dojo to have more strong men under his command.

As for the foundation-building monks who are disloyal?

These casual cultivators are here for profit, and there is no loyalty at all, no matter how good you are to them.

Once there is no force to suppress the situation, there will be riots in an instant.

Liu Hongtiao and other foundation-building monks looked up nervously. They also had spiritual veins in various places, and the decision of Tushan Dojo would directly affect their future home safety.

"Send someone from the Law Enforcement Hall to recruit all nearby foundation-building monks and kill them."

Jiang Ding said calmly.

Since the foundation-building monsters in Tushan Kingdom were basically extinct seven or eight years ago, he rarely goes out. Basically, all the forces under his command are taking action.

He hates chaos and disorder.

Liu Hongtiao and other casual cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes!"

Li Qingyun didn't ask any more questions and made a supplementary suggestion: "Disciple suggests that the second-level spiritual vein cave should be re-bid every ten years, and the one with the highest price will win. If it fails to reach the expected lowest price, it would rather be vacant than rented out."

This is to ensure the fluidity of the spiritual veins, screen out the weak as much as possible, reduce the probability of such things happening, and avoid an unlimited increase in law enforcement costs.

'Damn. '

Liu Hongtiao and other casual cultivators secretly gritted their teeth, feeling a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts, but they did not dare to say a word.

"can."

"Recently, due to the spirit boat transport business of the Lingbao Chamber of Commerce, which charges high fees to send people across the Soulless Gobi, there are more foundation-building monks in the north. Although the tax revenue and manpower have increased a lot, there are also negative consequences."

"In recent years, robbery cultivators have appeared, and the security near Tushan Fairy City has tended to deteriorate."

"Especially during the Lingbao Chamber of Commerce's five-year auction, the number of calamity cultivators increases significantly. After suddenly succeeding, they take off their disguises and become good cultivators. It is extremely difficult to find traces."

Li Qingyun said another thing and said: "The disciple suggested increasing the number of [-] people in Palace Master Liu's law enforcement team to deter the increasing number of casual cultivators around, pick up lawlessness, and continue to build Tushan Immortal City into the most prosperous commerce in the Three Kingdoms area. place."

"Increase the manpower of the law enforcement team by [-]%?"

Jiang Ding frowned.

The current Law Enforcement Hall is headed by Liu Hongtiao, a late-stage foundation-building monk. There are twenty-three sects and scattered foundation-building monks below, all of whom are skilled in magic fighting. There are more than [-] late-stage Qi-training monks under his jurisdiction.

The expenses are already huge.

After a brief review, I pulled up the business tax data of Tushan Fairy City in recent years.

'... Within five years, due to the gathering and trading of monks from the three countries, the annual commercial tax increased from three million to five million low-grade spiritual stones, and showed a rapid growth trend... Among them, the tax amount of the Lingbao Chamber of Commerce reached one hundred and twenty-seven. Ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones...'

"can."

"Yes."

Li Qingyun went on to the next topic: "The fish output of Dongshan Ling Lake has decreased. This year's catch is expected to be reduced by [-]%..."

"... The Hundred Ghosts and Duzheng lineages of the Blood Slaughter Hall of the Chu State have been extinct, and all the disciples of the two tribes have died. The name was officially changed to the Huaxue Hall. They put forward a trade request, hoping to obtain many elixirs and monster blood, which can be used with spirit stones and In exchange for spiritual minerals..."

"...Three months ago, monsters invaded the mortal city..."

"...There is a second-level spiritual mountain master who resists the tax..."

Matters at Xiangtu Mountain Dojo were quickly dealt with, involving the Law Enforcement Hall, Farming Hall, Tax Hall, etc. One by one, the foundation-building monks came forward to report on their duties, and then received their respective tasks.

The discussion lasted for three days and then ended.

Each foundation-building monk flew out one after another.

"Little uncle."

Li Qingyun mentioned something solemnly: "A few days ago, a Jindan senior sent a greeting card to Tushan Dojo. He may be a Jindan monk who fled from Beiyuan."
