The two teams of guards were specially equipped with savings bags. Once someone paid taxes, they would collect them all, which was very efficient.
When Xu Hong stepped forward, he found that he no longer had the Spirit Disciple Pill on his body. Because the Spirit Disciple Pill he had obtained before was of no use to him, he gave it to Wang Baifei.
"If you want to enter the city, you must hand over ten Spirit Disciple Pills." A guard of the eighth level Spirit Disciple stopped Xu Hong and said.
"I don't have the Spirit Disciple Pill with me now, can I use something else instead?" Xu Hong asked.
The guard hadn't spoken yet, but there was a sarcastic voice next to him: "You poor guy, you can't even afford ten Spirit Disciple Pills, and you still want to enter Lingxiao City. Look at you like this, don't tell me, you are also doing it for half a million dollars."
Five Sha Sect will recruit disciples and come here in a few months."
The voice was slightly sharp and the tone was quite arrogant. Xu Hong turned around and saw that a small team of seven or eight people was walking towards him. The leader was a slightly stout young man with a full body.
With a shiny face and a charming girl in his arms beside him, he walked slowly towards the city gate.
"Boy, what do I want to ask you? Where did you come from? You are fair and clean, and you look good. Let me tell you how strong you are. If you are passable, you will follow me and I will give you a salary every month.
There is no problem with hundreds of Spirit Disciple Pills." The young man with a shiny face put a hand on the charming girl's shoulder, and his palm slipped unconsciously, and he was teasing Xu Hong.
"Master." The charming girl felt the young man's big hands and couldn't help but let out a burst of anger, but her eyes were filled with smiles.
Seeing this scene, Xu Hong frowned slightly and turned his head away, too lazy to pay attention to this group of people.
With his keen sense, he has already seen that among this group of people, the shiny young man is at the ninth level of the spiritual disciple. However, his foundation is frivolous. He seems to have relied on elixirs to build an embroidered pillow.
Most of the people are spiritual disciples of the seventh or eighth level, so there is nothing worth noting.
Only behind the young man was an old servant who seemed to be a first-level spiritual master.
Such a group of people, without asking, Xu Hong could guess that they might be young masters from a certain family in other cities, who came here for the purpose of recruiting disciples for the Five Evil Sect.
"You...you dare to ignore me!" The shiny young man was furious when he saw Xu Hong turning back to himself and ignoring him.
However, at this time, the old servant behind him stopped him and said: "Master, this is Lingxiao City. We have just arrived here, so we better not cause trouble."
"Yes, young master, we are people with status. We don't have to argue with that kind of poor boy. Anyway, if he can't hand over the Spirit Disciple Pill, the guards of Lingxiao City will drive him away. We are here to see how embarrassed he is."
The charming girl leaned close to the young man, and drew a circle on the young man's chest with a small hand.
When the young man heard this, his anger subsided and he laughed and said: "Yes, I will see how he is kicked out."
"I'm sorry, our Lingxiao City stipulates that taxes are collected from Spirit Disciple Pills. Ordinary gold and silver are not circulated here." Seeing the movement here, a captain of the ninth level Spirit Disciple also came over.
Xu Hong ignored the sarcasm of the man and woman behind him, looked at the guard captain who came over, and said: "It is true that I don't have any Spirit Disciple Pills on me, but this Qi Condensation Pill is not worth as much as a hundred Spirit Disciple Pills.
It has a price but no market, so it’s treated as city entry tax, so there’s no problem.”
As he spoke, Xu Hong pointed his finger and threw out a pure white pill towards the guard captain.
"What! Qi Condensation Pill! You mean the Qi Condensation Pill used by spiritual masters to condense their spiritual energy!" The guard captain was taken aback and quickly took the pill. He immediately felt that the pill was in his hands.
In my hands, all the spiritual energy in my body seems to have a smoother feeling.
"It's really the Qi Condensing Pill! Enough, enough. This pill is enough for ten people to enter the city. Young Master, please enter the city." The guard captain was overjoyed. After inviting Xu Hong in, he immediately rushed
Looking at the guard of the eighth-level spiritual disciple, he said: "I paid the city entrance tax for that young master before. Please put these ten spiritual disciple pills away. We can't break the rules."
As he spoke, he threw out ten Spirit Disciple Pills, and then solemnly took the Qi Condensing Pill that Xu Hong gave him into his arms.
The eighth-level spiritual disciple guard saw that an opportunity he could have taken advantage of was taken by his captain. Even though he forced a smile on his face, he felt extremely regretful in his heart.
This scene left the group of young people behind stunned.
Especially the oily young man, whose face was turning blue and white at the moment. Just now he had called others poor people, but in the end, he threw away the Qi Condensing Pill.
Even though the value of this Qi Condensing Pill is not much, the advantage is that it is priceless and has no market. Generally, spiritual people with no connections cannot buy it at all. Moreover, if Xu Hong can take out one at will, he must still have it with him.
"Damn it...this bastard dares to make this young master look foolish in public." The young man with a shiny face stared at Xu Hongyuan's retreating figure, his teeth itching with hatred.
"Master, don't be angry. I will wait for you at night." When the charming girl saw this scene, she twisted her body like a water snake and kept leaning against the young man.
Snap!
The young man slapped him with his backhand and shouted: "It's broad daylight, what are you doing to me? Give me the Spirit Disciple Pill and go to the city."
After that, the young man walked angrily into Lingxiao City.
Lingxiao City is extremely prosperous, with majestic high-rise buildings on both sides of the streets. In Hillwood City, buildings of the size of the City Lord's Mansion are very common here.
There are also some buildings that are built like fairy palaces.
And on the broad streets, people are coming and going. At a glance, they are all spiritual beings with a high level of cultivation. Among them, the seventh- and eighth-level spiritual disciples who are considered to be upper-level masters in Shanlin City are actually here.
Found everywhere.
There were also a lot of ninth-level spiritual beings. Xu Hong even found traces of three or four spiritual beings at the spiritual master level after wandering a certain distance.
Spiritual Master Realm Spiritualists are already considered to be the top experts in small cities in remote areas, but in a super big city like Lingxiao City, one of the top ten capitals in Funing County, they are nothing.
No wonder the head of the Hong family said that if the Hong family moved to Lingxiao City, they would become a second- or third-rate force. It seems that this is not true at all.
Generally speaking, spiritual beings at the first and second levels of the spiritual master realm are not common here, but they are definitely not rare.
"I heard from the head of the Hong family that martial arts are very popular in Lingxiao City. Some really big families have people at the eighth and ninth levels of the spiritual master realm, and some big families even have people in the dazzling spirit realm.
.It seems that these things must be true." Xu Hong thought secretly in his heart, his current combat power is infinitely close to the seventh level of the spiritual master realm.
As long as there are no spiritual beings whose strength exceeds the seventh level of the spiritual master realm, he can escape unscathed. Even though there are many masters in Lingxiao City, the people who have truly cultivated to that level are probably some big shots or old antiques from the major families.
, usually a person who stays in seclusion, Xu Hong is not worried.
Moreover, when he entered Lingxiao City this time, he came mainly to worship the Five Evil Sect, and he did not want to cause any trouble.
"There is still half a month left before the Five Evil Sect recruits disciples. During this period, I can just see what kind of geniuses will appear in the ninety-nine cities nearby. There are also Five Evils
I also need to investigate some specific matters regarding the sect’s recruitment of disciples.”
As Xu Hong walked, he was secretly calculating in his mind. Even though the head of the Hong family had told him some of the circumstances surrounding the recruitment of disciples by the Five Evil Sect, the head of the Hong family had only heard about it and did not know some of the real inside information.
You still have to go to Lingxiao City to investigate on your own before you can know clearly.
"It's exciting, it's exciting. Let's go to Langyafang City and have a look. Zhong Huiyao, one of the two golden flowers in Lingxiao City, is meeting someone."
Suddenly, a young spiritual man near Xu Hong ran over, shouting a piece of news as he ran.
"What! Zhong Huiyao is the daughter of the Zhong family and is a difficult person to offend. Who dares to offend her in Lingxiao City? Could this news be false?"
"Yes, look at the person who spread the news just now. I remember he was from Langyafang City. Could this be a method used by Langyafang City to attract business?"
"Impossible, impossible. No matter how bold Langyafang City is, it can't spread rumors about the daughter of the Zhong family. I think this matter is eighty percent true. Don't forget, in the past half month, nine other people nearby have
Among the eighteen cities, many young talents have poured in, and some families are even more dominant in other cities. Their power is not as powerful as that of the Zhong family in Lingxiao City. The young masters and ladies from such aristocratic families dare to mess with Zhong Huiyao.
No."
"Okay, now it's really exciting. Let's all go to Langyafang City to have a look. Even if this thing hadn't happened, there have been so many talented young people coming to Lingxiao City recently. Langyafang City is the largest city in the city, so it should be
They will also come up with bad things to prop up the scene, let’s all go and take a look.”
"Okay, let's go and see the excitement."
Xu Hong couldn't help but feel moved when he heard the discussions of the other spirits around him, and followed the direction of the flow of the crowd.
He was about to go to inquire about the news. Langyafang City should be a place where spirits trade. There were countless spirits gathering there, so it would be easier to inquire about the information.
After more than half of the incense burning time had passed, Xu Hong followed the crowd and arrived in front of a huge building in the central area of Lingxiao City.
This building is entirely made of a rare white stone. Its texture is several times harder than ordinary stone, and its scale is ten times larger than the chamber of commerce alliance Xu Hong saw in Hillwood City that day.
