Ji Taoist

Since alchemists like Yan Buzhi were working for the Sun and Moon Palace, they did not make things difficult for them at first. Instead, they made a joke and symbolically checked their identities, and then asked them to go back to their homes. They were not allowed to go out at night for a while.

"There are more and more rules for wartime management." Yan Buzhi looked at the wartime management regulations. Now it is not only because of the beast tide, but also because of the evil weapons wandering outside. Although ordinary monks don't know why, they don't know why. Dare to openly resist the Sun and Moon Palace.

For example, they are not allowed to go out at night, review for leaving the island, and personnel inspections. It can be seen that the execution ability of the Sun and Moon Palace is quite high when it is operated.

"Why are you arresting people?"

"What happened to arresting you? We now suspect that you are suspected of committing a major crime. Come with us first!"

"Let me go, let me go, is there any justice left?"

A foundation-building monk was carried through the city by the law enforcement team of the Sun and Moon Palace. The monks around him were also silent and did not dare to say anything.

The clerks stood at the door, their faces full of worry, and asked: "Boss, is the beast tide outside the sea very large? How come even Seven Star Island has implemented wartime management?"

Yan Buzhi smiled and said: "It's okay, we have the city lord here, so if you don't cause trouble during this period, there won't be any trouble."

"oh."

Having said that, Yan Buzhi returned to the room on the second floor and started refining the elixir.

Half a month later, after the order was completed, Yan Buzhi was not in a hurry to deliver the goods, but went out for a walk.

Compared with the comings and goings of people before, today's market seems particularly withered. I don't know if most of the monks were dragged to Xingxiu Island to fight against the beast tide, or if everyone is hiding in their rooms and afraid to go out.

The store door is open, but there are not many customers. Obviously, such wartime management has a very serious impact on business.

Of course, the Sun and Moon Palace doesn't care about the life and death of low-level merchants like you. Yan Buzhi even saw some law enforcement teams from the Sun and Moon Palace walking out of the store happily, and the store owner had to pay them off with a smile.

"Who are you?"

The law enforcement team from the Sun and Moon Palace came over. The leader was only a late-stage foundation-builder, but he was arrogant and domineering. Even though he knew that Yan Buzhi's cultivation level was higher than him, he seemed sure that he would not dare to do anything to himself, so he led a group of people around to question him. Yan Buzhi’s identity.

Yan Buzhi cupped his hands and said, "I have the owner of the elixir pharmacy, Yan Buzhi. He came out this time to replenish the city lord's order of spiritual materials."

"The spiritual materials of the order? What, the elixirs and spiritual materials you refined are not enough?"

Yan Buzhi smiled awkwardly: "Yes, the craftsmanship is not good, and a lot of spiritual materials were wasted."

"I say you alchemists, don't use the resources of the Sun and Moon Palace to line your own pockets! Besides, all the spiritual materials on the market are being purchased by our Sun and Moon Palace. Do you want to buy spiritual materials?" The monk from the law enforcement team had this intention. refers to.

Yan Buzhi understood the implication, immediately stepped forward and stuffed a pack of spiritual stones, and said with a smile: "Please give me some advice from fellow Taoist."

"Easy to say, go to the granary gate at the dock, and someone will pick you up." The monk from the law enforcement team weighed the bag and said with a smile.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

The law enforcement team continued to patrol, and Yan Buzhi squinted his eyes and snorted: "Sure enough, there are always bullies everywhere."

"Alas, Fellow Daoist Yan."

The owner of the shop next to him shouted, and Yan Buzhi walked over: "Boss Zhou, what's wrong?"

"These people didn't go to your place to collect protection money, did they?"

"Are you all so blatant?" Yan Buzhi looked strange.

"It seems that you don't have it over there, but we have suffered a lot here." Boss Zhou said with a bitter look on his face: "These monks from the Sun and Moon Palace are relying on their heel, and now it is a wartime management. As long as you don't give them an offering." They try every possible means to cause trouble for us, and I have been blackmailed three times this month!”

Yan Buzhi frowned: "Can't you tell the city lord?"

"The city lord is also from the Sun and Moon Palace, how do you sue?"

Who in the hall is suing me?

hehe.

Yan Buzhi smiled in his heart, but his face was still filled with righteous indignation: "This is unreasonable! The Sun and Moon Palace does not discipline the monks under its command. If you bully others and extort benefits, you will be punished sooner or later!"

"Hush!!" Boss Zhou's eyes widened and he hurriedly hissed: "Friend Yan, calm down. We are all working for a living under the hands of the Sun and Moon Palace, so don't let anyone listen."

"Oh, by the way, Boss Zhou, all your spiritual materials have been taken away?" Yan Buzhi sighed and asked instead.

Boss Zhou nodded and said distressedly: "Originally, there was a batch of spiritual materials that were supplied to other bosses, but they were all taken away and returned to the market price. After including transportation and rent, I still lost 20% of the spiritual stones!"

"Then why did they ask me to go to the dock granary?"

"You don't know yet, right? This law enforcement team has colluded with the people who collect spiritual materials in charge of the Sun and Moon Palace. Now the bosses who have had their spiritual materials confiscated are told that as long as we go there, we can quietly buy back the spiritual materials."

"Isn't that a double portion?"

"Yes, so who dares to go there? If they come to collect it again, or use this matter to cause trouble and blackmail us, wouldn't it be even worse?"

Yan Buzhi thought for a while: "But since the other party dares to do this business, they can't do it blatantly. If they really push us into trouble and start a fight, they won't be able to get any favors."

"But the key point is that after the investigation by the Sun and Moon Palace, no matter what your fault, you are right. Now that wartime management is in place, everyone has to go to the outer sea to fight against the beast tide. And if someone commits an offense, he will probably be placed in the most dangerous area. If something goes wrong in the offshore guard area, it will be really fatal!”

Yan Buji nodded.

In short, the low-level cultivators of the Sun and Moon Palace dared to do this because they were sure that they would not make a big deal. After all, the Sun and Moon Palace is such a big foundation, and it is both a sect and a family. There are conflicts of interest between them. Individual business owners like them cannot fight to the death with them.

It is better to have less trouble than more. This will encourage the arrogance of those low-level cultivators to exploit individual cultivators and individual households.

Unless you are desperate to fight them to the death, no one will give you three points.

Thinking about it, Yan Buji chatted with Boss Zhou for a while, and after learning some information, he went to the dock.

There are no ships coming and going at the dock now. Although there are many cultivators unloading and transporting goods around, all the surrounding ships are flying the flag of the Sun and Moon Palace. It seems that many civilian ships have been requisitioned by the Sun and Moon Palace.

After all, the Sun Moon Palace itself is a huge interest group. There are too many sects and forces in Xingxiu Island, Qixing Island and Sun Moon Island. Although they are all centered on the Sun Moon Palace, the forces under it are intertwined and complicated, so Yan Buji has no intention of joining them.

For example, Long Xuan Zhenjun of Yuheng Island, although he is a Yuanying period cultivator, was appointed as the island lord and city lord here, but he must also obey the arrangements of the Sun Moon Palace.

"With such chaos, I am afraid that those evil weapons will leak out, which is still a good opportunity for some people in the Sun Moon Palace to make a fortune." Yan Buji smiled.

The key is that it happened to encounter a beast tide, so it can only be said that this good show has just begun.
