Soon, Li Wan joined forces with Lin Rui and Liu Ding to propose to the alliance regarding the donation of artifacts.

The Alliance has the right to supervise the Qi Dao, and those in the Qi Dao also need to keep delivering treasures and refining magic weapons as their contribution to the alliance.

Otherwise, they would be able to enjoy all kinds of benefits without going through life and death or fighting and conquering. Nothing is that cheap.

Li Wan increased taxes and reduced the contribution of treasures, which meant that the people in the Hall of Immortals and others in the art world needed to increase their expenditures and make more contributions to the alliance.

This may seem like asking for trouble, but in fact, it is mainly aimed at Baozunlou, and they have to contribute more treasure materials and magic weapons to the alliance.

On this day, the elders from all parties who came to the meeting saw such a strange scene. As the leader of the Qi Dao, Li Wan, together with Lin Rui and others, took the initiative to pay more donations, and they did so that same year.

No arrears.

"Fellow Daoist Li, aren't you joking? If the alliance agrees to this resolution, at least not a single step will be able to change it from now on. When the time comes, your Yingxian Palace will have to pay all the donations!"

"No joke." Li Wan didn't explain much.

"Well, since you, as the first elder of Qi Dao, are so active, how can I stop you? I agree to this initiative. I wonder what fellow Taoists think?" After Yin Huayan asked Li Tong, he immediately

said.

"That being the case, we have no objection." Of course, the other elders had nothing to say. Li Wan's request for more artifacts to be paid as a tribute was a matter for the Yingxian Palace, and it did not need to be assigned to them.

"We have no objection." Everyone said one after another.

So, the matter passed smoothly.

"What a vicious plot. These donations will eventually be divided into 50 and 50 into the general treasury. The two public funds of the Hall of Immortals will be the property of the alliance when they enter the general treasury. The public funds of the Hall of Immortals will be in the general treasury.

Xiku must become a top priority!"

"The three of them, Li Wan, Lin Rui, and Liu Ding, can firmly control it if they join forces. This treasury is in their pocket, but we have to work hard to support it."

Soon, what happened in the True Immortal Palace spread, and Li Jian and others learned the news immediately.

In the main hall of Baozun Tower, everyone sat in separate seats with solemn expressions. They discussed countermeasures, but they found that there was nothing they could do at the moment.

Li Wan's move was clearly to use the alliance to exert pressure and take advantage of the little power he had.

"Is it possible to ask the elders to veto this proposal?" Everyone realized the power of this move and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Veto? Why should they veto? It increases the contribution of Qi Dao Yilu. The elders of all parties have normal reasons to reduce their contributions or divide them up. No one will risk offending Li Wan to do such a thing.

Yes, even if Elder Fang comes forward, there is no defensible reason."

The tricky part right now is that Li raised this matter in vain. There is no way that outsiders can stop him from leading the way of cultivating weapons and making more contributions to the alliance.

This is a high-sounding reason.

Unless, others can find the same high-sounding reason.

However, this is something that is beneficial to all parties. Who would be willing to pursue it?

As for Baozunlou's side suffering a loss, it's not that everyone can't see it, but what does this have to do with them?

"Needless to say, all parties can tacitly allow the Zhenbao Pavilion to make a comeback and establish a new name in the alliance, but they will not easily allow us to become powerful. This blunt knife cuts the flesh, extracting and exploiting bit by bit, which is what everyone likes to see. Maybe

, the elders from all sides secretly celebrated each other, and Li Wan's discussion gave them a perfect excuse."

Li Jian said.

"Even Elder Fang is powerless to object to this matter. Don't trouble him at every turn. We can just bear it ourselves."

Speaking of this, his face became a little more determined, and he said: "Although the donation has been increased, it will not be a big deal at once. When the commission of the refining tools we have on hand is completed, there will be more.

New rewards are coming in.”

Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to agree.

For the time being, they had no better way and could only deal with it temporarily.

…

After some time, there was a discussion in the Yingxian Hall, and Qi Lingshan mentioned the matter of opening the treasure house and obtaining the treasures and refining weapons.

"Fellow Daoist Li, as worshipers within the alliance, we also enjoy the privilege of withdrawing treasures from our inventory. Over the years, we have accumulated some treasures that have not been claimed. Is it possible for us to collect them?"

"Really? You haven't received all the quota you deserve?" Li Wan said pretending to be confused.

As a tribute to the alliance, he does have the right to receive spiritual jade and various treasures as salary as usual, but since Li Wan, Lin Rui and others are in charge of the Western Treasury, there are naturally many ways to get stuck.

"I'm really sorry. Elder Lin has been in seclusion recently to refine weapons. I'm afraid it will take five years before he can come out. Let's wait until then."

"Elder Lin went into seclusion to refine weapons? Why did you see him a few days ago?" Qi Lingshan gritted his teeth.

"A few days ago...a few days ago, he just went into retreat recently." Li Wan said lightly.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, to open the Western Treasury, we need three elders from our palace to be present at the same time. It's useless for you to be anxious. Otherwise, if there are any urgently needed treasures, Liu will lend them to you first?" Liu Ding said with a smile.

"There's no need to bother fellow Daoist Liu. Since it's inconvenient for Elder Lin, let's wait until later!" Qi Lingshan snorted coldly.

"By the way, fellow Taoists, the alliance recently passed a resolution to collect more artifacts from this temple for donation. After discussion with fellow Taoist Liu, I decided to select some designated treasure materials for handing over, namely Tianwai Xuan Iron and Zhen Yang.

Yuan Qi, Void Star Core, Purple Gold Thunder Bamboo, Canglan Divine Pearl, Ksitigarbha Earth, Shadow Moon Divine Crystal, all kinds of strange fires from the sky, the remnant soul of the demon god..." Li Wan also mentioned the donation.

These things are not randomly designated, but are things that have recently been of higher value and are more difficult to collect.

What's more, Li Wan and others found out that Baozun Tower is necessary for refining magic weapons. If you don't want to hand it over, there is no problem, then you have to exchange it for other treasure materials.

Li Jian and others immediately gritted their teeth after hearing this, but the decision-making power rested with Li Tong. Unless he completely broke away from the alliance, he would not be able to resist.

"Okay, please give Friend Daoist Li the list to us. We will gather together what the alliance needs as soon as possible to complete this donation."

"Then I'll thank you, fellow Taoist," Li Wan said with a smile.

The meeting broke up unhappy again.

Li Wan discovered that since he broke through the Treasure Pavilion and Li Jian and others joined the alliance, the atmosphere in the gatherings in the Hall of Heroes has rarely been harmonious. But it doesn't matter. These people are alienated from him and are not ruthless.

Squeeze, beat, maybe, you will have to climb to the top of your head at some point.

What he really cares about is the Taoist Zhishan and others he decided to win over.

At this time, they had completely openly come together with Li Wan, so after the meeting ended and Li Jian and others left the Hall of Immortals and returned to Baozun Tower, they still stayed.

This is a statement of position.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, you also heard just now that the treasure materials designated to be handed over are those...what's the difficulty?" Li Wan said.

"No." Taoist Zhishan smiled slightly and said.

This list was carefully discussed and prepared by Li Wan, Lin Rui and Liu Ding. They did not receive commissions that required the use of these precious materials like Baozun Tower. How could there be a shortage?

Although the burden was a bit heavy, I gritted my teeth and got over it.

"Okay, if you have any difficulties, just mention it to me," Li Wan said.

"Why is this so embarrassing?" Zhishan Taoist asked.

"Although Elder Lin has been away recently and it has been difficult to open the vault to retrieve treasures, I still have some treasures here, so you don't have to be polite." Li Wan waved her hand.

If he wants to exploit Baozunlou, he will inevitably hurt his colleagues by accident. If he does not provide adequate benefits and subsidies, he will have to complain.

Taoist Zhishan also understood this truth, so he was polite and agreed.

Li Jian and others established Baozun Tower to fight against Li Wan, which meant they had given up on Xiku, but he had taken refuge with Li Wan, and he deserved it.

A period of time passed quickly. Although Li Jian and others complained privately, in order to prevent Li Wan from getting into trouble and causing trouble again, they still collected the donation and handed it over in time.

Although a large amount of property was lost in this way, it also completely plugged the loopholes in the alliance's rules and regulations, preventing Li Wan, the leader of the Qi Dao, from having a chance to deal with them.

The foundation left behind by Zhenbao Pavilion is quite rich, but this does not damage their foundation.

Although Taoist Zhishan did not get the Treasure Pavilion's treasures, he was not greatly affected by Li Wan's care.

Li Wan, Lin Rui, Liu Ding and others directly took charge of the Western Treasury, handing over 50% to the alliance treasury, with the other 50% remaining.

Although it is nominally the public money of the Hall of Heroes, it is subject to their arbitrary control, which means that it can go in with the left hand and go out with the right hand. It can also adjust the refining tools for various commissions.

Therefore, after coming and going, the ones who really felt sad were Yuan Zheng, Zhan Long and others.

As Li Wan expected, they were caught in the middle and found it difficult to behave.

Contributions related to the alliance are calculated based on reputation and head count. As low-level guests, after rejoining the alliance, they rarely have the opportunity to accept commissions and refine treasures, and the wealth they earn is not much.

If it were in the past, there would still be a chance to get involved in the Xiku, and get some opportunities to sell low, sell high, and make profits. However, in the past hundred years, let alone getting benefits from the Xiku, there has not been a single entry.

This also resulted in the life of a dignified third-level Taoist monk becoming increasingly tight and increasingly difficult.

Of course, as masters of martial arts, they had gained a lot of savings in the past, but the continuous turmoil, injuries and recuperation, and multiple expenses had already opened the floodgates.

"This cannot continue like this. The accumulation of thousands of years cannot be wasted in vain."

Yuan Zheng, Zhanlong and others felt increasingly uneasy.

They know very well that if their situation cannot be changed, no matter how much savings they have, they will not be able to withstand consumption. Sooner or later, they will lose all their resources and years of hard work will be ruined in one day.

So, a few of them got together and secretly discussed countermeasures. (To be continued...)
