Bai Ze

"Understood." Bai Ze took out two low-grade spirit stones and gave them to him: "It's the cost of staying in the hotel."

"One is enough..." Xiancheng is a real person.

"The remaining one is for you, as a tip." Bai Ze gave him two spirit stones: "This is a bottle of tonic pill, as a gift for meeting."

There are only ten pills in a bottle.

For Bai Ze, it is not even a drop in the bucket, but he knows that for low-level disciples, this is the time for them to build a foundation. If their spiritual power is not enough, it is very necessary to have a tonic pill.

Because he had heard of Zhao Yang's tragic experience, Bai Ze was very concerned about the low-level disciples.

"Thank you Xiaozu, thank you Xiaozu!"

After dismissing this person, Bai Ze turned around, only to see Yun Tian frowning with some doubts.

"what happened?"

"You gave him the magic pill...for what?"

"Of course it's to give others a little benefit, at least they can be regarded as people under the influence of my sect." Bai Ze let go of the small burden: "Cultivation is not easy, if you can help a little, just help a little, it can be regarded as accumulating blessings for yourself. "

This is what Bai Ze said in his heart. He is not a holy father, but he is also not a hard-hearted person. He was an ordinary citizen in his previous life, with a bit of high IQ. A rookie, he would probably be considered a gold-collar worker later on, and a technical talent.

But these are useless in the cultivation world.

"I..." Yun Tian didn't know what to say.

"You don't need to talk, what shall we have for dinner tonight?" Bai Ze changed the subject abruptly: "There should be no chef here."

This small county town is already very big in Bai Ze's eyes, but seeing the few people who cultivate the truth, it really can't be "big".

"Look at you." Yun Tian spread out his hands, his palms were as white as jade, and his fingers were slender.

Although he holds a sword all year round, a cultivator does not have something like a mortal in his hand.

Bai Ze pouted: "What do I eat? Are you really following me?"

"En." Yun Tian was obedient.

Bai Ze smiled: "Are you sure?"

Yun Tian looked at him: "...you won't eat some weird things, will you?"

"I'm afraid you won't dare to eat it." This time it was Bai Ze's turn to set up a small formation in the whole room, mainly to prevent the smell from escaping and the sound to be ineffective.

Yun Tian looked at Bai Ze curiously... Later, he recalled, saying that if he had known what Bai Ze was going to eat, he would definitely have left.

After Bai Ze finished decorating the room, he took out his magic weapon: fried stinky tofu!

Whoops!

As soon as this smell came out, Yun Tian's expression changed instantly.

The sensitivity of a monk's sense of smell is several times that of ordinary people. With the improvement of cultivation, it becomes more and more sensitive, and the things that Bai Ze took out can keep the smell in the room. What's more, because it is him It was stored well, and when it was taken out, it was still sizzling... Bai Ze had already prepared the table, put several plates, and various seasonings, and the stinky tofu was sizzling when he took it out. Just sprinkled chili noodles, crushed peanuts, cumin powder...and took a bite!

Yun Tian's eyes suddenly widened!

Poor Yuntian, who is also a well-known genius in Yuntian Xianzong, Gujing Wubo's expression is completely broken at this moment, such a horrible food, such a smell, Bai Ze actually ate it!

Yun Tian never changed his face like this when he leaped to kill monsters.

Really, I didn't expect food with this taste!

After Bai Ze ate a bunch, he asked Yun Tian, ​​"Do you want to eat together?"

The answer Yun Tian gave was to hurry out of the house, he really couldn't stand the smell and almost vomited.

I have used several clean dust formulas for myself, but I still feel that smell on my body...

The two monks in the qi training period who passed by accidentally looked at Yun Tian several times strangely. What's wrong with the masters?

One is enough to use Jingchen Jue for oneself, so why use several?

This kind of formula can be used only once, and it is not necessary to use it frequently, let alone have any effect.

So far, there is no stubborn stain that cannot be removed by clean dust.

Seeing the back of Yun Tian flying out, Bai Ze laughed very arrogantly. One person had a meal of stinky tofu alone, and he also made a bowl of rice, served with stir-fried large intestines with green peppers, sliced ​​husband and wife's lungs, and palace rice. Keep side dishes like diced chicken.

That day, Bai Ze was sleeping in the house, Yun Tian was meditating in the yard, and he refused to enter the house. He was originally dressed in white clothes, but when Bai Ze got up and went out the next day, he saw Yun Tian changed his clothes : Although it is still white, Bai Ze can see that it is different. The white clothes in the past were embroidered with patterns with silver thread, and it may also be the pattern of talisman seals, because it should be a set of magic weapons.

And this set of white clothes, the creamy white silk thread used on it, and the pattern of embroidered talisman seals are also different from yesterday's set.

This point, Bai Ze can guarantee, because his insight comes from the educational achievements of the suzerain's wife.

The suzerain's wife is a master of miscellaneous learning.

Seeing Bai Ze coming out, Yun Tian looked at his...hands defensively, really afraid that he would eat that horrible thing again.

"Don't do this!" Bai Ze called Qu: "Eat normal food today, really! Please eat fried dough sticks and drink soy milk."

When talking about "bean", Bai Ze saw Yun Tian's finger moving, but he didn't know what it meant?

However, in order to make up for the bad impression last night, what Bai Ze ate to Yuntian today was crispy fried dough sticks and sweet and mellow soy milk, which was affirmed by Yuntian.

After eating, the two of them went out and went straight to the small hill where the cultivation market is located.

This market...if Bai Ze wanted to see it, it was on a relatively flat hilltop, with a few stalls randomly set up, and some people were simply selling. It is usually in the Qi training period, and most of them are wild cultivators. There are only a few monks in the foundation building period, and they are the stall owners who set up stalls.

The things sold include first- and second-grade spiritual vegetables, bags of first-grade spiritual rice, first- and second-grade spiritual fruits, spiritual flowers, and spiritual grasses, etc., as well as bundles of first-grade elixir, placed individually Level [-] elixir...the ones that look the best are a pair of third-grade white ganoderma lucidum.

Although it is a third-grade spirit stone, the asking price is only 30 yuan for a low-grade spirit stone... This thing can be found on any mountain in the Qianji Sect, so you can pick it casually.

Bai Ze understood the gap between the Zongmen and these little monks very well, no wonder Zhao Yang was looking for the Zongmen like that, and Shuining had to rely on the power of the Zongmen for such a high level of cultivation, although Qianji Zong gave Shuining the help There are a lot of them, but Shuining will not become the Elder Keqing of Qianji Sect until he reaches the stage of transforming into gods.

To put it bluntly, it means that some powerful people cultivated on the Zongmen's territory are favored by the Zongmen, but because of their own maverick, it is impossible to join the Zongmen, but they can become the elders of the Zongmen, which is equivalent to an additional consultant. , or colloquially known as "thugs"

.........

Looking at the pitiful monks in front of him, Bai Ze felt that the world of cultivation is not as equal as he thought. Life is long, but this life is also human...

Everyone couldn't see through the cultivation of the two of them, and they were obviously higher than everyone else, so everyone took out the good things they saved on weekdays and put them up.

Yun Tian didn't quite understand and asked a stall owner in the foundation building stage: "You are setting up... the site of the Thousand Machine Sect like this, right? Don't you collect taxes?"

"No!" The stall owner said respectfully: "I'm afraid this senior doesn't know that since Qianjizong took over this Bo Yanzhou, the agricultural tax and apportionment tax have been exempted. Places like the cultivation fair, We don’t collect taxes either... We used to be just wild people. In fact, it was a market, just like ordinary people going to the market... Someone used to collect taxes, but now there is no more. It’s better to be Qian Jizong, every month There is also an open class for us casual practitioners..."

The stall owner looked very happy, which made Yuntian even more confused. He turned his head and Ning Yin asked Bai Ze in a straight line: "You Qianji Sect, how do you accumulate resources like this? Balance the expenses within the sect?"

You know, there are quite a few people in a sect. With so many people, which medicines, magic weapons, spiritual vegetables and rice, and spiritual herbs and spiritual medicines don't cost spirit stones?

There is also Dongfu, who is a bit capable and wants to occupy a place in the Zongmen as Dongfu.

If you have a cave, you must have decorations, right?

For various reasons, there are always too few spirit stones, never too many...

Why is the bigger the sect, the bigger the territory it occupies?In addition to the large number of people, occupying resources is also very important.

In the remote Boyan Prefecture, there are no special products, and there are no tyrannical sects established here.

Looking at the Yuntian Xianzong, it occupies the entire Yuntian Mountain Range, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles. It is the location of the Yuntian Xianzong's mountain gate, and there are twelve states under the jurisdiction of the Yuntian Xianzong. In addition to various resources, it is tax.

Yuntian Xianzong is a big sect, all industries, no matter what they do, are all taxed at [-] yuan, and transactions less than [-] yuan are taxed at [-] yuan.

But Yuntian Xianzong does not charge taxes from mortals!

He is a fairy sect, and he thinks highly of you by collecting taxes from the monks.

The mortal Yuntian Xianzong didn't even bother to collect those three melons and two dates.

Only monks have good things. Yuntian Xianzong can support hundreds of thousands of masters and millions of people in the entire sect every year just in terms of tax revenue.

Bai Ze smiled honestly: "My sect is small..."

But I complained in my heart: They also want to collect taxes, anyone?

There are less than [-] people in the entire sect, and half of them are low-level disciples, not even in the foundation establishment period.

This also includes those farmers who planted spiritual fields at the foot of the mountain... They are also people in the Qi training period, but they are only at the third or fifth level of Qi training. Can't die of hunger.

The rest... It's not that Bai Ze speaks ill of his sect, it's really that there are not many talents who can show it.

Coupled with Qianjizong's low-key handling principles, it is impossible for their sect to squeeze the people on their own territory, not to mention that there are not many rich monks in Boyan Prefecture.

That's it, just benefit the people directly, don't engage in those cleverly named taxes, they won't be collected.

However, the tax in the big cities still has to be collected. Those cultivation restaurants, inns, etc., and in every big city, there are also requirements for the biggest business. All mining, no matter what kind of mine, Qianjizong All have to account for [-]% of the dry shares; restaurants, restaurants and inns have to pay taxes, one out of ten.

It's a high tax.

If it is from the brothel Chuguan... ten taxes and three!

Bai Ze didn't say that his sect was short of people, but instead told Yun Tian about some new policies about Boyan Prefecture.

"This kind of management can win people's hearts." The living environment in Boyan Prefecture is relatively simple, and there is no fraud or oppression, which gives Yuntian a good first impression of this new sect.

Bai Ze smiled calmly: "The rabbit doesn't even eat the grass beside the nest!"

If you really want to squeeze it, you can't do it locally?

Yun Tian choked and didn't make a sound.

Bai Ze was wandering around. He didn't like the medicinal materials, but he took a fancy to the spiritual rice planted by a monk in the Foundation Establishment period.

"How do you sell this?" Bai Ze looked at this first-grade Lingmi. In fact, it was already good enough for second-grade rice.

"One bag of two spirit stones, and each bag weighs five catties." The monk in the foundation-building stage didn't expect these two seniors to take a fancy to his rice, and rubbed his hands: "If you can give this junior a spirit-gathering pill , this one hundred catties of rice, senior just take it away."

Gathering Pill, after taking it, can open up the meridians, make the spiritual energy flow more smoothly in the veins, and the body can store more spiritual energy. Generally, it is taken when breaking through, but it is only eaten when building foundations and forming pills. When you are a baby, you don't need it, because when you reach the Nascent Soul stage, what you need is something like the Infant Transformation Pill.

But even if it is such a common pill, ordinary monks can't get it.

Because you have to have an alchemist if you have medicinal materials, without alchemy, you will stare blankly if you have good medicinal materials.

"Okay!" Bai Ze took out two Gathering Spirit Pills from the storage bag: "I want everything you have here, and I will give you two Gathering Spirit Pills."

"Okay, thank you, senior, thank you, senior!" The stall owner in the foundation building period was delighted.

In his booth, there are not only spiritual rice, but also some spiritual vegetables that he grows himself. He is a wood-type magician, and he doesn't like to fight. It was time to build the foundation, just in case, he needed a spirit gathering pill.

I didn't expect to get two!

In this case, one for the apprentice and one for him.

Maybe in the future, when he or his apprentice forms a pill, he can eat one of these spirit-gathering pills...

Bai Ze was quite happy to accept the spiritual rice and spiritual vegetables from others. In addition, there was a big man in the Qi training period, accompanied by a little girl, who was selling a basket of mushrooms.

"How do you sell this basket of mushrooms?" Bai Ze squatted there and asked the little girl.

The little girl was so cute and juicy, she actually stretched out a white and tender little finger: "I want a bottle of Juling Pill."

"Pfft!" Her father, who was drinking water next to her, immediately sprayed it out.

Bai Ze laughed out loud, even Yun Tian had a little smile in his eyes.

"Senior, don't be as knowledgeable as her, my girl..." The big man was a little embarrassed, after all, they were just a basket of second-grade brown spirit mushrooms, and they were only worth ten spirit stones at most.

It is still an ordinary spirit stone, that is, a low-grade spirit stone.

It's not worth a bottle of spirit-gathering pills. Generally, the "bottle" in the cultivation world contains ten pills, unless it is a very precious thing, such as the Mahayana pill, which is said to be able to reach the Mahayana state after taking it. It is only in the legend. I've heard of this stuff.

The little girl was probably also frightened by her father's words, because the father called the big brother in front of him "Senior".

"A bottle of this stuff is definitely not worth it." Bai Ze cheerfully bargained with the little girl: "One bottle is okay, how about it? Can you give it to me?"

The little girl looked up at her father, and found that he seemed very excited, so she shook her head: "Two, one for father and one for mother."

"Then what about the baby?" Bai Ze laughed, "One for daddy and one for mother, you don't have anything to eat?"

"Baby is still young, so you don't need to eat this." The little girl tilted her head: "Baby can practice slowly."

Bai Ze touched the little girl's head: "Good boy, you are a filial son, how old is the baby?"

"Baby is five years old." The little girl shook her head: "How old is big brother?"

"Big brother is 20 years old." Bai Ze liked this young girl with aura, took out a bottle, poured out the medicine inside, filled the bottle with three spirit-gathering pills and one foundation-building pill, There are also six tonic pills, which I handed to the little girl: "Hey, big brother traded this basket of mushrooms with you, okay?"

"Okay." The little girl said reluctantly: "In this case, the baby will have something to eat."

Bai Ze was overjoyed, and put the mushrooms together with the basket into the storage bag, the little girl was envious for a while.

It was his father who held the bottle and didn't know whether to accept it or not.

"Accept it." Bai Ze said: "Today I have a predestined relationship with this little girl."

And Yun Tianxia glanced around consciously, this is the market, under the eyes of everyone, everyone is watching, in case a monk has evil thoughts...

In the end, Yuntian was surprised to find that these monks only showed envy in their eyes, but no one had any evil intentions. Because of their advanced cultivation, a Nascent Soul monk like Yuntian can naturally sense the emotional changes of these monks quickly.

No one has evil intentions!

Can Yun Tian not be surprised?

He has seen many low-level monks, and they really do everything for their cultivation.

"Thank you, senior, thank you, senior!" The man was very excited, hugging his daughter, and gave up all the straw mats used to lay the stall.

Then I took my daughter home and announced the good news to my daughter-in-law.

Others are looking forward to Bai Ze eagerly, hoping that he can take a fancy to their own things, and also give two pills...

And Bai Ze is like sweeping goods, every stall is patronized, everyone, no matter how many, Bai Ze will exchange with them for things, the least is a tonic pill, and the most is for the little one. The girl's bottle of pills.

He bought some of those that were useful or not, and when the two of them left, the whole market became more lively.

"Where is this Shancai boy from?" Everyone looked enviously at the back of Bai Ze and the others as they left, and they looked like a master.

As for Yun Tian, ​​he looked at Bai Ze's beaming face: "Those things...?"

"I'll make it for you to eat at night." Bai Ze said bluntly: "They are all good things."

Although he brought a lot of spiritual food, they were all his "snacks", okay?

It's good to be able to cook a serious meal.

I made it that night, Yuntian enjoyed it very much, but felt sorry for the people who lived in the same place, drooling for half the night, Bai Ze was not being stingy and refused to give them food, but because their cultivation base was too low, they ate I'm afraid it's about to explode...

The next day, they got up early as before, and they left Qianji County. This time, the two of them didn't use their feet to hurry, because it was said that Qianji City was separated from Qianji County by several mountains.

That's why, very few people have been to Thousand Machines City...it's really too far away.

It was much more convenient for monks. For the first time, the two of them flew with their swords, and a streamer flashed in the air.
