Lingxian Palace accepted people and set fire to all the fishermen and farmers present.
In the final analysis, fishermen and farmers only have half a foot in the world of immortality.
On the one hand, they have escaped from the mortal world and come into contact with the magic of cultivating immortals. They cannot let go of it and cannot look back.
On the other hand, their qualifications are mediocre, and they may only spend their entire lives in the Qi refining period.
The appearance of Lingxian Palace and the signal to recruit people gave them a breakthrough. Even if they risked their lives, they wanted to give it a try. It was better than spending their whole lives being unable to achieve anything but being a small fisherman and farmer.
Finally, Ye Qingling announced: "Since we are fighting against the shrimp tide together, Lingxian Palace will naturally help you. Therefore, the following measures are listed below."
“First, from today onwards, the fish tax will be abolished.”
"Wow~"
A single stone stirs up a thousand waves, and this alone makes countless fishermen and farmers excited. The fish tax may not be much, but there are still 24 spiritual stones every year. Doesn't this mean that he earns 24 spiritual stones in vain every year?
In the past, some people might not be able to save 24 spiritual stones in a year.
"quiet."
Everyone was silent.
"Second, the Dharma Boats are distributed uniformly, so that each person has one, and the Lingxian Palace that is not enough can make up for it. However, the Dharma Boats will be bound to people, and they will be uniformly counted every half a month to determine the number of casualties in the battle."
There was a commotion below, and even Zhang Liang had to admire the generosity of Lingxian Palace. There were nearly ten thousand people here, and each person had a Dharma boat. How many spiritual stones would be obtained?
Ye Qingling remained expressionless as she continued: "Thirdly, since Lingxian Palace is exempt from fish tax and gifts of dharma boats, there is naturally a need for repayment. That is, every half month, everyone must hand over a spirit lobster free of charge, regardless of Incomplete. If you fail to achieve it, you will be exiled to the Immortal Sea and will not be allowed to return to the island."
"ah?"
The fishermen and farmers who were full of excitement just now all changed their expressions at this moment.
Are you kidding me, I might as well pay a fish tax.
After all, the fish tax for a month is only two pieces, and a spiritual lobster, even if the price is completely suppressed, still costs at least 20 spiritual stones, right?
With this conversion, wouldn't it mean that you have to pay a fish tax equivalent to at least 40 spiritual stones a month?
At this moment, the nine island owners all sneered.
He thought that a group of stupid fishermen and farmers were a sect force, how could they be so easy to get along with? Do you really want to use it for nothing?
Zhang Liang also sighed in his heart, he is simply a vampire! Sure enough, the free one is the most expensive. It was extremely shameless to give two dates first, and then draw blood and eat the marrow.
Moreover, I am afraid that I don’t really want to cancel the dock registration system, but I feel that the registration system is too cumbersome.
Hunting spirit lobsters would probably kill people every day. If I had to register every day, would I still be able to work?
What's worse is that Zhang Liang has already guessed why Lingxian Palace needs a magic boat.
Because, turning in a spirit lobster half a month will definitely force fishermen to go to sea frequently. If the number of Dharma boats is insufficient, wouldn't it be possible for two or even three people to share one boat? The spirit lobster must be turned in. If multiple people cooperate, it is inevitable that they will kill each other.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang felt chilled, as he was indeed planning every step of the way.
This series of operations forces all fishermen and farmers to go to sea every half month, and every time they go to sea, they must gain something. If there is no harvest, we have to continue to go to sea.
In terms of the rate of going overseas, it has increased by at least two or three times compared to before.
"Fortunately, I can transform into a black fish body, dive into the sea, and hunt for spirit lobsters. If it were another fisherman, I would have to risk my life by diving into the sea to hunt."
…
The work of distributing dharma boats and carving names lasted for a whole day.
You can take a rest that night, and the time will officially start counting from the next day.
On this day, countless fishermen and farmers poured into Qingfengxianfang, and Lingxian Building was almost packed. Everyone will use their saved spiritual stones to buy small thunder talismans, green sword talismans and amulets.
In addition, the weapon-refining room of Zhang Wanquan and his wife, the talisman-making stall next door, and the elixir pavilion were also packed.
Zhang Liang was no exception. He spent more than an hour during the day before talking to Zhang Wanquan and his wife. On the pretext of borrowing 50 spirit stones, he finally got back the high-grade magic weapon Green Snake Net.
After retrieving the green snake net, Zhang Liang wanted to squeeze into the Lingxian Tower again and buy more talismans to keep with him, but he couldn't squeeze in at all. Even in Qingfengfang, some people almost got into a fight over who came first and who came last.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of talents among the fishermen and farmers. There are quite a few people who refine formations, make talismans, refine alchemy, and refine weapons.
Unfortunately, the level of these people was so poor after all that Zhang Liang looked down upon them.
However, it was not his turn to be disdainful, because these stalls were also crowded.
Zhang Liang sighed, the various arts of cultivating immortals are indeed extraordinary. Just set up a stall wherever you want, and it will be overcrowded in an instant. You don’t even need to do anything, and the spiritual stones will roll in.
For these people, it would be easy for them to get a spiritual lobster in half a month.
Unfortunately, at this juncture, it is too late for people to make money, and it is impossible to teach you skills. There is such a method for sale in Lingxian Tower, but it is expensive, and even if you buy it, how can you master these various skills of cultivating immortality overnight?
Zhang Liang sighed, compared to the competition in the world of cultivating immortals, the Black Fish Tribe is better! I don’t know what the situation is there now. Should I go back?
…
In the middle of the night, the moon shines like water.
Zhang Liangzheng is practicing cross-legged practice.
"Dong dong dong~"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, followed by Wang Min's voice from next door: "Zhang Liang, are you there?"
"Creak."
Zhang Liang opened his mouth and asked doubtfully: "Sister Min, it's so late, why do you want to see me?"
Wang Min said bluntly: "Zhang Liang, you and I have been neighbors for ten years. When your parents were still alive, our two families got along well. Starting tomorrow, we will officially go to sea. Both of you and I They are at the fourth level of Qi training. If we can join forces, hunting spiritual lobsters should be a breeze..."
Wang Min looked at Zhang Liang, thinking that Zhang Liang would not refuse.
After all, Zhang Liang had just stepped into the fourth level of Qi training.
Moreover, as she said, their two families have a good relationship.
However, with so many secrets in his body, how could Zhang Liang be traveling with others?
Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and finally shook his head: "Sister Min, please forgive me for not agreeing. It's not that I don't believe you, but it's a matter of life and death. It's hard to explain love."
"You...oh, okay! I understand."
Wang Min left disappointed, but Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief. Rather than maintaining a friendly relationship with Wang Min, it is better to give up this relationship. Before he has absolute strength, it is impossible for him to partner with anyone.
In fact, in his previous life at Shililing Lake, he had some friends of the same age, but in the past three years, he had gradually given up on them. Because his secret cannot be known to anyone.
…
Early next day.
The sun is rising, and the colorful clouds are thousands of miles away.
Qingfeng Shipyard is bustling with people and bustling with a slight fishy smell in the air.
A large number of fishermen and farmers still made appointments with a few friends to travel together.
There is nothing that can be done about it, because going out to sea alone and facing a swarm of spirit lobsters is still too dangerous for fishermen and farmers. Even though they realized that if they traveled together, they might fight each other, they still chose to do so.
In Zhang Liang's view, this is gambling. No one is absolutely sure that the people around him will not take action against him.
Zhang Liang even believed that there would definitely be people who, with the sincere cooperation of the team, hunted a lot of spirit lobsters and then killed their companions and ate all the spirit lobsters.
Although there are heavenly oaths in the world of immortality to regulate monks, whoever dares to violate them will be counterattacked by heavenly law.
But it is said that this backlash does not come so quickly, and will only cause backlash when there are breakthroughs and breakthroughs.
Most fishermen and farmers cannot cross a large border in their lifetime, so these oaths seem to have little meaning to them.
But this was the first day out to sea after all, so everyone was more anxious and had not yet developed the intention to rob and fight. However, over time, things can easily change.
Early in the morning, Zhang Liang went to sea like others.
The difference is that Zhang Liang wants to catch all the spiritual lobsters that need to be paid for the next three years once and for all.
The reason for taking such a risk was mainly because Ye Qingling said that Lingxian Palace would send a large number of low-level monks to practice here.
Those are the disciples of the sect. How many mediocre people can get in? By that time, if I transform into a black fish spirit and run rampant along the coast, I might accidentally be killed as a ferocious beast.
Therefore, before a large number of sect monks arrived, it was natural to get as many spiritual lobsters as we could.
…
Half a day later.
On the coast of Qingfeng Island, Zhang Liang transformed into a black fish spirit and his body was buried in the sand.
A blue and white sea snake with a broken body, half of its body was crushed, rising and falling with the tide.
"Shasha~"
A one and a half meter long spirit lobster came following the smell of blood. Its two claws directly cut off the body of the sea snake, picked up a piece, and put it into its mouth.
"Wow~"
At this moment, a blue light shot out and turned into a big net, instantly entangling the spiritual lobster. When the spiritual lobster tried to struggle, a blue light sword shadow sank into its head, and with just this blow , this spiritual lobster has no intention of struggling anymore.
"Gululu~"
In the sand pit, the black fish transformed by Zhang Liang finally popped up and spit out a string of bubbles.
"It's only the third one. It seems that the number of spirit lobsters in the offshore area is still somewhat insufficient."
"I'm so hungry. It seems that the biggest difference between the sea monster form and the human form is the feeling of hunger. Immortal cultivators can be fine without eating for a few days, but the sea monster will be so hungry if he doesn't eat for a whole day."
After putting away the spiritual lobster, Zhang Liang ate a tentacle of the black squid. After hesitating for a moment, he headed towards the deep sea.
However, only a moment later, he saw a murderous squid attached to a human body.
Yes, that person has been dead for a while and is currently occupied by this murderous squid.
The killer squid saw a huge black fish approaching and immediately ran away.
Zhang Liang had no intention of pursuing him. The size of this murderous squid may have just been promoted to a first-level low-level ferocious beast. Whether he ate it or not was of little significance to him.
However, after Zhang Liang turned into a human form and groped around on this fallen fisherman, he found nothing. The storage bag had been taken away. A closer look revealed that the man's fatal wound was on his neck, and most of his neck was severed by a sharp object.
"Fish Spirit Thread? This was strangled to death instantly!"
Zhang Liang was a little sad. He didn't expect that fishermen and farmers would kill each other so soon.
