Chapter 24

When the party is over, it's time to light the lights.On this day, Su Cen had a very happy time, except that today was her 16th birthday and she had completed her coming-of-age ceremony.More importantly, Mu Ye actually gave her a Pifu Pill.This took her by surprise.

Needless to say, the value of Pifu Pill.With this Pill of Pifu, Su Cen's chances of stepping into the realm of Pifu will be greatly increased.Once the establishment of the mansion is successful, her status in Tianlanzong will skyrocket.

Glancing at Mu Ye beside him, Su Cen smiled lightly, and said, "Mu Daoyou, you are really unexpected today, I never thought you would give me a Pifu Pill. My group of senior brothers, what will happen to you this time?" My son is very jealous. If my master is not Taoist Long Ming, I am afraid that they would have the idea of ​​killing people and seizing treasures."

Mu Ye glanced at the smiling Su Cen, then looked at the gate of Su's mansion behind her, and said, "Friend Su, you can joke. But I also advise you to be careful, the way your brothers and sisters look at you is not the same as yours." There is no difference between jackals and wolves. On the contrary, I insisted that I only have a Pifu Pill on my body, which saved me a lot of entanglement."

"It's impossible to take out a few of Pifu Pills casually. The Tianlan Sect only provides 36 pieces every year. However, there are tens of thousands of disciples in the Concentration Realm of the Tianlan Sect. It is so difficult to obtain a Pifu Pill, no wonder they are so crazy." Thinking of the fierce competition within the Tianlan Sect, Su Cen sighed slightly, and then thanked Muye: "Little sister is really very Thank you fellow Daoist Mu. Otherwise, even if my father went bankrupt, he might not be able to get a Pifu Pill."

Mu Ye waved his hand, and said: "I said you don't have to be polite, so you don't have to be grateful anymore. I also got this Pifu Pill by accident, and it's useless to me now, so you can accept it at ease. It's getting late, I have to go back, my mother is still waiting for me." After that, he cupped his fists at Su Cen, turned and left.

Su Cen stood at the gate, and did not return to the mansion until Mu Ye's figure disappeared around the street corner.

In the next few days, Mu Ye spent in practice and taking care of the shop as usual.

In the early stage of Qi Yang Jing, it is mainly to strengthen the strength of muscles; in the middle stage of Qi Yang Jing, it is mainly to temper the bones;

Since touching the threshold of cultivation, Mu Ye has been going smoothly without encountering any difficulties.But this is considered normal, after all, the cultivation of Qi is mainly to strengthen the physical body, and there is no high requirement for talent and aptitude.The first threshold of practice is to solidify the mind, so as to step into the state of concentration.Many monks in the Qi Cultivation Realm are stumped by this threshold.

But some time ago, Mu Ye got two bottles of Concentration Pill from the body collector.And he also has several bottles of pills presented by Lao Li, the quality of which is much higher than that of the corpse collector.And Mu Ye's talent is also unparalleled, so he is not worried about stepping into the threshold of concentration.

The only thing that troubled Mu Ye was that he hadn't prepared the 50 taels of tax money.Since the battle of the black robe, the black market in Los Angeles has not opened yet, which made Mu Ye lose the only way to earn tax money.

Seven days later, it is tax day.If you can't pay your taxes on time, you can only go to the coolie camp and wait to die.Even though Mu Ye is already a monk, it is still impossible to escape.

What a headache.

But it's impossible for Mu Ye to find someone to borrow it.After all, most ordinary people are barely making a living and have no spare money at all.As for some wealthy nobles, Mu Ye didn't know them, except Su Cen.

Just borrow money from Su Cen?Mu Ye really couldn't open his mouth.Even though Mu Ye gave her a priceless Bifu Pill, even if it took all of Su Cen's belongings, Mu Ye still couldn't have the courage to reach out to Su Cen.Among them, the arrogance of the little boy in front of the little girl accounted for most of the reasons.

But in any case, the tax bank is still paid.After thinking about it for a long time, Mu Ye came up with a solution that was not a solution.

Go be a 'private protector'!
The so-called "private protector", to put it bluntly, is to act as a bodyguard for smugglers.

Luocheng is rich in ghost iron ore, but the supply right of ghost iron ore is firmly held by Tianlanzong. Except for the frost day, it is impossible to buy ghost iron ore at other times.But monks' demand for ghost iron ore is not only available on the Frost's Descent Day.In this way, when there is a market, there will naturally be buying and selling.

Some daring businessmen can obtain some scattered ghost iron ore through some secret channels of their own.Of course, they are not arrogant enough to trade this kind of ore in Los Angeles.Generally speaking, after these merchants get the goods, they will leave the jurisdiction of Tianlanzong as soon as possible, and sell them at high prices in other cities to obtain huge profits.

It's just that it's not easy for these smugglers to leave the jurisdiction of Tianlanzong.In addition to the law enforcement teams that can be seen everywhere, they also have to deal with all kinds of thieves, bandits, monsters, and some poor casual cultivators.So for safety, these businessmen will hire some low-level monks, or ordinary warriors with some strength as bodyguards.

As a smuggler, Mu Ye has been in the underground market in Los Angeles all year round, and knows a lot about those smugglers.After making up his mind, Mu Ye quickly found his employer.A fat, balding old man in his 60s.

But after Mu Ye discussed the smuggling route with the fat old man, he couldn't help frowning.

This old man actually planned to use a batch of smelted dark iron ingots to sell in Liangcheng!

Liangcheng is thousands of miles away from Luocheng.Even if the old man had his own spirit beast car, it would take four days to get to Liangcheng if there were no accidents.It would be even more difficult if you encountered some troublesome casual cultivators or rogue bandits on the road.

However, the tax payment day in Los Angeles is just seven days later.This made Mu Ye very worried.

Seemingly seeing through Mu Ye's mind, the fat old man said, "Pay your deposit of ten taels of silver first, and then give you the remaining five taels of silver after the matter is completed, how about it?"

Hearing this, Mu Ye frowned, nodded and said, "Thank you for that. Give me two hours, and I will deal with some matters at home, and then I will come to you."

The fat old man nodded, looked at Mu Ye, and there was an inexplicable sadness in his eyes: "You are still working hard enough to do such a dangerous business at such a young age. Even if you are a cultivator in Qi Cultivation, But how can I not get my shoes wet when I often walk by the river? Back then, my son... oh”

"Life is forcing me, and I can't help it." Mu Ye smiled bitterly, cupped his fists at the old man, then turned and left.

After returning home, he gave Ye Lan the scattered silver he had accumulated on weekdays, and after instructing his mother, Mu Ye went to Lao Wang's shop again, asking Lao Wang's family to take care of Ye Lan.Then he packed his luggage and went to find the fat old man.
