Longevity: I want to enjoy wealth and honor in the world

He really didn't care about the county magistrate. He was naturally in awe of the Great Xia court, but the county magistrate Wang Mingyuan was just a small seventh-rank official, not worthy of his great immortal master.

The most important thing was that he had evidence of the county magistrate colluding with the Zhou family to resell the grain warehouse and relief grain, and letters between the head of the Zhou family and the county magistrate Wang Mingyuan.

When he came to the reception room, several managers and villagers were already waiting. The managers were all wearing nice clothes, and some even wore jade pendants, which showed that they were worth a lot of money. The village heads, on the other hand, were all dressed like farmers.

"You all know about the Zhou family, right? Now the Zhou family has died out, and now all the Zhou family's fields have become my property. My name is Feng Tianzong, and I am a cultivator, that is, an immortal master." Feng Tianzong introduced himself straight to the point.

"I just came to Liaoyuan City, and there are no available people around me. If you are willing to work for me, you can continue to work in your current position.

If you don't want to work for me, you can wait for me to send someone to hand over and leave. However, if anyone dares to embezzle my money and do bad things to me, I will find the people of the Eight Evils to reason with you."

Feng Tianzong did not make things difficult for these people. Although he knew that those managers were probably not good people, he was in a time of needing people. It is better to use familiar people than new ones. How much they embezzled, when the house is searched in the future, they will naturally be able to get all the principal and interest back.

"I am willing to work for the immortal master. It is our honor." A manager said with a smile and flattery.

This manager spoke first, and several other people followed suit. Although they still had many doubts in their hearts, the people of the Eight Evils were right next to them. Jumping out to oppose at this time, wouldn't that be courting death?

With the surrender of these managers and village chiefs, the population under Feng Tianzong's command also skyrocketed in an instant.

Lord: Feng Tianzong.

Territory: Fengjiabao.

Population: 13554. (11226 untaxed population.)

Tax rate: 1%/year (taxes can be collected from the population under the jurisdiction every year. You can choose the type of tax.)

The population suddenly surged to more than 10,000 people.

Feng Tianzong didn't know whether it was the recognition of the people under his jurisdiction that would make them his people, or whether those people would become his people after the surrender of the management.

But now is not the time to study those things. The most urgent task is to collect taxes first.

"Tax collection"

[Tax the people under his jurisdiction, collect 1% of the time per year for each population as tax, and collect taxes for 112 years (less than one year has been hidden). ]

Taxes: 112 years (less than one year has been hidden).

With taxes, it is natural to improve strength.

Lord: Feng Tianzong (lifespan 84 years).

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 4 (Time consumption to improve - 15 years)]

[Puppetry: First-level primary (Time consumption to improve - 3 years)]

Spells:

[Golden Light Mantra: Mastery (Time consumption to improve - 15 years)]

[God-moving Mantra: Mastery (Time consumption to improve - 15 years)]

[Palm Thunder: Mastery (Time consumption to improve - 15 years)]

Realm, mana is the root of everything, Feng Tianzong naturally has to improve his cultivation first.

[Consume taxes for 15 years, improve cultivation, Qi Refining Level 4 - Qi Refining Level 5. ]

Feng Tianzong sat cross-legged and practiced hard for a moment, and this moment was stretched to 15 years.

It felt like 15 years had passed in the blink of an eye, but the mana cultivated was real. It was very condensed, and every strand was cultivated by himself, not grown out of thin air.

It was also easy to control, without a single hindrance. It was just that the mental consumption was a bit large, which made him a little tired.

The growth of cultivation means the growth of mana and physical strength, but it does not increase combat effectiveness.

Tax: 97 years.

[Cultivation: Fifth level of Qi Refining (Time consumption can be increased - 60 years)]

Looking at this substantial increase in consumption, Feng Tianzong was so depressed that he wanted to curse. The higher the cultivation, the more time it consumes. Sixty years is a sixty years. How many people can live for a sixty years these days?

If there were no taxes, he would practice by himself. I am afraid that he would not be able to practice to the late stage of Qi Refining until he died. It is probably related to the concentration of spiritual energy in the mortal world.

Cultivating in the mortal world is originally thin in spiritual energy and difficult to practice. In addition, his own qualifications are low, which has caused the cultivation speed to be so slow.

The remaining taxes can still increase the cultivation level by one more level, but Feng Tianzong thought about it and decided to improve combat effectiveness first, and improve the puppet technique first.

As a disciple of the Puppet Sect, puppets are their most core combat power.

Anyway, I have only accepted two manors and five villages, and there are still a large number of fields and tenants that can be taken over soon. It won't be too late to improve my realm at that time.

[Use taxes for three years to improve puppetry. Puppetry first-level elementary-first-level intermediate]

First-level intermediate puppetry improves the utilization rate of formations and greatly increases the power of puppets.

If the first-level elementary puppets can only fight against cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining, the intermediate puppetry can already make them have the power to fight against cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

However, the puppetry technique has always been a shortcoming in speed. It can only win by quantity.

[Puppetry: First-level intermediate (can consume time to improve-15 years)]

[Consume taxes for fifteen years to improve puppetry. Puppetry Level 1 Intermediate - Level 1 Advanced]

Taxes: 79 years.

In a flash of fifteen years, Feng Tianzong's understanding of puppetry has been improved again, and the Five Elements Energy Gathering Array has become more and more proficient. This time, the puppet's endurance and defense have been improved.

With the power of the five elements, it gathers into a shield, greatly improving the puppet's defense.

In the primary puppetry, the energy that the Five Elements Energy Gathering Array can gather is too small to take into account the puppet's defense, and the endurance is also a problem. It cannot fight for a long time, especially in fierce battles, the energy consumption is accelerated, and it can't last for a long time.

After the puppetry reaches the advanced level, the energy is greatly improved. Not only does the endurance problem solve, but it can also protect the core parts of the puppet, and it has a very strong resistance to magic.

[Puppetry: Level 1 Advanced (Time consumption can be improved - 50 years)]

Feng Tianzong thought about it, but still did not continue to improve the puppetry. The next improvement is the technology of making second-level puppets. With the materials of the mortal world, the resources for making a first-level puppet are barely enough.

The resources for making a second-level puppet are even scarcer, and it is of little use to improve it. A skilled cook cannot cook without rice, and no matter how high the skills are, it is useless without materials.

However, some spells can be learned. He brought some other spells back at the beginning, and now he can learn them all.

He has only practiced the three spells of Golden Light Curse, Palm Thunder, and Divine Movement Curse to master them, and he is ready to improve them again.
