Chapter 6 - The Hidden Welfare Of A City Lord

Zhao junjie's words made Xia Changge's eyes light up.

When the Sacred Heart Art enters the fourth level, if he wants to improve, he has to practice with the object of longevity.

This demon beast is definitely one of the best choices.

Unexpectedly, twenty Qi-refining demon beasts appeared in Mo City in five years?

Isn't this a perfect fit for Xia Changge's needs?

"Okay, I agree. I don't know what procedures are needed to be done?"

There are several advantages to staying in Mo City; how could Xia Changge not agree?

Hearing Xia Changge's words, Zhao Junjie was very happy: "There is no big problem, Fellow Daoist Xia only needs to follow me to Mo City's Security Hall to take a look."

There is usually no such thing as a city lord in Mo City. There is only a security hall composed of young and strong men or women elected by the people of Mo City that is responsible for managing the security in the city.

After all, the State of Zhao is a country of cultivators, and the taxation of a mortal town like Mo City is of no use to the royal family.

In the beginning, in the State of Zhao, in every mortal town, there will be a Qi Refining Realm cultivator to sit in town to maintain law and order.

But in the long run, it consumes too much.

There are tens of thousands of mortal towns in Zhao State, each with a Qi Refining Realm cultivator.

Under normal circumstances, the expenditure of a Qi Refining Realm cultivator for a year must come from the royal family. Otherwise, how would someone be willing to work in a place without spiritual energy?

A Qi Refining Realm cultivator would almost take a hundred spirit stones to maintain normal cultivation in a mortal town.

Then these Qi Refining Realm cultivators can't work for a year without earning some spirit stones.

So that in addition to supplying their daily cultivation needs, the royal family also has to give them a salary.

Adding it all up, the State of Zhao had to spend almost two hundred spirit stones every year.

This is only the result of sending one Qi-refining cultivator to a mortal city!

Adding up all the mortal cities leads to a lot of expenses.

The most important thing is that these mortal towns cannot bring benefits to the State of Zhao, and the royal family basically maintains it at a loss.

After the emperor from the previous generation came to the throne, that system was abolished. It was changed to let mortals be in charge of law and order. The expenses were all the gold and silver that mortals needed, so there was no financial pressure on the royal family.

And when the mortal town was attacked by a demon beast or demonic cultivator, it will be fine for the nearby cultivation town to be centralized and send people to deal with it.

As for the mortals who died due to the time delay... it is not considered.

One of the policies of the royal family was to persuade loose cultivators to settle in mortal towns.

It is a policy of benefiting the mortal people.

After Xia Changge made arrangements for Zhang Miaoyi, he followed Zhao Junjie to Mo City Security Hall.

On the way, Zhao Junjie did not forget to continue to fool Xia Changge:

"Fellow Daoist, if you settle down here and live here permanently, the emperor will give you two hundred spirit stones as a one-time subsidy, and when you reach the Foundation Establishment realm, the emperor will also give you a second-order spiritual plant and one thousand spiritual stones to help you establish a Foundation Establishment realm family!"

Facing Zhao Junjie's words, Xia Changge just smiled.

Two hundred spirit stones to reach the Foundation Establishment realm is naturally a fool's dream.

As for the second-order spiritual plant in his mouth, it is an extremely precious treasure that can give birth to spiritual energy after planting.

The spiritual energy produced by the second-level spiritual plant can probably sustain the daily practice of more than twenty cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm.

Many desperate Foundation Establishment Realm would really choose to establish a family in a mortal land for this second-order spiritual plant.

"Fellow Daoists, there is another benefit that does not need to be expressed in words. If you agree, you can enjoy any women in Mo City."

"There's no problem on marrying a hundred or even a thousand concubines, as long as you obey the law and do not use demonic methods to harm people's lives."

Zhao Junjie reminded in a low voice, telling him the hidden benefits of being a city lord.

After all, mortals are of little use to the State of Zhao.

Instead, let the Qi-refining realm monk and the mortal woman combine, and it is expected to give birth to a child with spiritual roots.

A cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm is worth more than dozens or hundreds of people without spiritual roots.

"Well, I will think about it carefully."

Xia Changge hadn't considered where his base camp would be better, so he didn't choose to refuse for a while.

The two of them talked and laughed as they arrived at the Mo city's Security Hall.

"Meet the Immortal master."

Here were all the mortal police officers.

There are men and women, with most of them between the age of 20 to 40 years old.

After Zhao Junjie arrived, all the security guards knelt down and saluted.

Zhao Junjie enjoyed the feeling that these mortals showed so much respect to him: "Old man Zhang, Miss Lin, from now on this Immortal Master Xia will be the city lord of Mo city, you all have to follow his command, and if there is any trouble that you cannot solve, it will be reported to Immortal Master Xia, who will solve them for you and protect the people of your Mo City."

After Zhao Junjie finished speaking, Xia Changge felt dozens of eyes staring at him.

He did not have any lousy response, and he looked at them with ease on his face:

"Everyone, I am different from you, but I am easy to talk to. I usually rely on you to help me maintain Mo City's law and order. I will not intervene. As for things that can't be solved, just come to the Li Mansion in the western part of the city to find me."

After he finished speaking, the members of Security Hall said one after another. "Yes, Immortal Master Xia."

When it was almost done, Zhao Junjie was ready to leave.

He didn't want to stay in Mo City, a place without spiritual energy for a moment.

"Then, goodbye, Daoist Xia, I will deliver the items that Daoist Xia deserves to obtain in half a year."

After speaking, Zhao Junjie left with his flying sword.

While the people in the Security Hall looked on with incomparable envy, they shouted in unison while saluting. "Respectfully sending off Immortal Master Zhao."

There was a demon beast in Mo city before, and it was Zhao Junjie who came to solve the problem, so these people also respected and admired Zhao Junjie.

"Get up, you don't need to do this when you see me in the future. By the way, you can't publicize where I am. If you have any questions, just come to me in private."

Xia Changge simply went around and left after remembering their appearance.

Quite a few people wanted to say something to Xia Changge, but they didn't have the chance.

But after learning about Xia Changge's residence, they knew that there was still a chance to get in touch with Xia Changge.

In their senses, Xia Changge was much better-tempered than Zhao Junjie and was very easygoing and without any arrogance.

It is also the only cultivator they can get close to.

Xia Changge returned to Li's residence.

At this moment, Zhang Miaoyi was directing her servants to replace the plaque outside the gate.

The original Li Mansion has now become the Xia Mansion.

These simple details make Xia Changge, who doesn't care about details, very happy.

"uncle."

After seeing Xia Changge's return, Zhang Miaoyi still bowed softly.

Xia Changge nodded but didn't say much.

He is really not good at communication.
