Chapter 305: Collecting private taxes and practicing evil skills
Xu Chen, who was sitting on the spirit boat, stood up slightly, and a sword appeared in his hand, slashing out a long river of sword light.
A river of sword light hundreds of feet long instantly enveloped the group of strange beasts, and all of them were killed with one blow.
The group of strange beasts that had ascended to the fairyland disintegrated into pieces in mid-air and fell towards the big pit below.
Xu Chen looked at the big pit, thought for a while, took out the communication magic weapon, and asked the sect elder in charge of intelligence.
After a while, there was a reply. There was a cave under the big pit. Most of the creatures there were strange beasts from the immortal world. Occasionally, some strange beasts would come out, but they would return to the cave after a short while.
The sect saw no impact and used this place as a trial ground.
"I said, it's impossible not to see such a big pit."
At this time, the Taoist spirit boat was flying over a big pit. It was tens of thousands of miles long and below it was a huge black pit, like an endless seabed abyss.
From time to time, the roar of strange beasts could be heard from the depths of the pit.
The speed of the Taoist spirit boat was extremely fast. It crossed the entire pit in a short time, and the land below returned to its original wilderness appearance.
Three hours later, Xu Chen saw a huge waterfall with a drop of thousands of feet in the distant mountains. Not far from the waterfall, there was an alien tribe with an exotic style.
Seeing this, Xu Chen became interested and controlled the spirit boat to fly towards the alien tribe.
Flying over the tribe, Xu Chen could clearly see that it was a tribe of ape men.
The ape-man here is covered with yellow hair, is more than ten feet tall, and has a strong body.
Outside the tribe, dozens of ape-men were dragging the corpse of a ten-foot-long wild boar-like beast. The leading ape-man had a look of joy of harvest on his face.
But when he looked up and saw a spirit boat approaching his tribe, his expression suddenly changed and he walked towards the tribe as fast as he could.
At this time, the ape-men in the tribe also discovered the Taoist spirit boat, and their expressions all became uneasy.
The spirit boat landed, and an ape-man who, according to Xu Chen's perception, had the cultivation level of a spirit fairyland came over and, together with his tribesmen, saluted Xu Chen respectfully.
"Greetings to the upper clan!"
Suddenly the entire tribe knelt down, and the ignorant little ape-man was forced to kneel down by his parents beside him.
"Everyone, get up. I think the scenery here is worth a look." Xu Chen looked at the uneasiness on the faces of the kneeling apes with some confusion.
In Leizhou, these foreign tribes, which are not even small tribes, are generally left alone. As long as there are no precious minerals around them, they only need to pay taxes according to their location.
When the ape-man from the Lingxian Land heard this, his slightly uneasy expression relaxed, and then became flattering.
"Human envoy, our tribe's barbecue is quite special. Please stay and have a meal."
"I just came to take a look."
As Xu Chen spoke, he boarded the spirit boat and flew towards the waterfall in the distance.
In an arc-shaped valley, a waterfall with a drop of thousands feet is right in the center of the valley.
After Xu Chen landed here, he found a long-abandoned cabin on the shore.
At this time, the setting sun shines on the thousand-foot waterfall, just like thousands of golden lights falling into a golden lake, which is very beautiful.
Sitting on a huge rock near the lake where the waterfall falls, Xu Chen just looks at the waterfall quietly.
For some reason, Xu Chen suddenly thought of the second set of Qi and blood foundation-building method he had practiced, the Twelve-Fold Waves body-building method.
"If I had been able to practice under this waterfall, I would have made rapid progress."
When Xu Chen thought of this, he suddenly became interested.
He flew directly into the waterfall and began to practice the Wave-Flipping Palm with the purest power of qi and blood under the waterfall.
Each and every move seemed natural. Even with the most basic moves, Xu Chen felt many mysteries.
Wave after wave of energy and blood shook the entire waterfall.
After practicing a set of Wave-Flipping Palm, Xu Chen suddenly felt that his physical strength had increased a little.
At this time, the sun had completely set, the moon came out, and there were stars around it.
The moonlight spread across the earth and also reflected in the valley.
Xu Chen sat cross-legged on the lakeshore, admiring the night view.
"Why can the most basic Twelve-fold Wave Qi and Blood Foundation-building method still allow me to make progress in my physical body in the Xuan Dao Realm?" Admiring the night sky, Xu Chen pondered on this matter in his mind.
Thinking of this, Xu Chen suddenly remembered the introduction of the Twelve-Fold Wave Qi and Blood Foundation Building Method. This Qi and Blood Foundation Building Method was created by a Xuanxian who practiced the art of body refining and Qi and blood.
It then went through many revisions before reaching the current version.
Xu Chen waved his hand and a beam of light appeared in the air, and the Holy Sun Star Body Refining Method he created appeared.
He has been deducing this Holy Yang Star Body Refining method for several years. When practicing, he makes use of the precious artifact Lingyu. When he reaches the state of unity of form and intention, he can have the power of nine dragons and five tigers.
After triggering his enlightenment through the Twelve-Fold Waves method of building the body, Xu Chen suddenly felt that the Qi and blood foundation-building method he created was still a bit rough.
Simply put, there is a lack of understanding of future realms.
Just like those ancient poems and articles we learned in school, we didn’t understand them when we first started and could only apply them to answer questions.
After entering society, at some point in time, I suddenly looked back and understood the meaning of those ancient poems and articles.
A thought came to his mind, like the light of a firefly, and Xu Chen felt as if his brain was lit up.
"It's too rough. It needs to be modified." Xu Chen shook his head as he looked at the Holy Sun Star Body Refining Method projected in the air.
At this moment, a ray of morning light shone on Xu Chen's face.
Only then did Xu Chen realize that it was already morning without him noticing.
"Sure enough, time passes fastest during practice."
Xu Chen looked at the birds that were perched on the trees and were gathering information using their magical powers, and waved to them.
Several birds perched on the branches seemed to be activated and flew towards Xu Chen, delivering the information they had gathered. Xu Chen silently received the images the birds saw and the words the yellow-haired apes heard.
Because these little birds were covered by the Thousand Machines Daohua magical power, the yellow-haired ape-man from the Spiritual Fairyland could not detect them at all.
Through the information collected by these birds, Xu Chen learned that some ignorant human warriors came to collect private taxes, that is, protection fees.
The yellow-haired ape, who had been living a good life, now found it difficult to survive.
The most important thing is that the strong human who came here to collect private taxes was actually practicing the evil way of devouring life.
And they threatened the entire tribe that if they were discovered and reported to the human race, their entire race would be exterminated.
This small tribe of less than 10 people offers hundreds of pairs of newborn ape-men every year.
"Sure enough, what Senior Brother said is right. There are more and more evil spirits."
As Xu Chen spoke, he took out a communication magic weapon and sent a message to the Leizhou Army. After all, he was once the son of a thousand households and was bestowed with a plaque by the Human Emperor. If he saw someone collecting private taxes and practicing the evil life-devouring skill, of course he had to report it.
After the message was sent, the Leizhou military headquarters quickly responded to him.
A powerful person from the Xuanxian realm led a team to this tribe, and through cause and effect positioning, they quickly found the lair of the human strongman who collected private taxes.
Suppress them directly and bring them back to the capital of Leizhou for trial.
Only a day passed and Xu Chen received a report from the Leizhou military headquarters on what had happened.
"This beast, not only does he use other races to practice his evil life-devouring skills, he even uses his own race to practice together!"
In the waterfall valley, Xu Chen, who was about to leave, read the message and was so angry that he slammed the boulder under him.
"The human race has decreed that those of our race who practice evil arts will be sent to the seventh level of the formless Asura hell."
"This is ten times worse than a life worse than death."
When Xu Chen thought of this, he still sighed for those human children.
After expressing his emotion, he controlled the spirit boat and continued on his way.
Leizhou has an uneven terrain, the land stretches for billions of miles, and the four seasons change with the terrain.
At this time, the spirit boat was flying above a snowy field. Xu Chen became interested and set up a table directly on the snowy field to eat hot pot.
The spirit of heaven and earth in the snowy field here was condensing an ice knife in his hand and cutting mutton for Xu Chen.
After cutting a plate, I also have to mix sesame sauce for Xu Chen.
"108 times, not one less." Xu Chen said leisurely while eating hot pot and admiring the beautiful scenery in the distance.
"I understand, sir!" The voice of the spirit of the snowfield world was crisp, and it transformed itself into the image of a cute human girl.
"How far is this place from Yunze City?" Xu Chen asked.
The general direction along the way was to fly towards the Human Emperor Avenue Continent, but along the way, Xu Chen tried to get as close to each city as possible.
"It's thirty million miles away." The voice of the spirit of heaven and earth said crisply, holding a pair of ice crystal chopsticks in his hand, quickly stirring the sesame sauce.
"It seems I have to fly slower." Xu Chen thought.
After finishing the hotpot, Xu Chen was about to leave when he was hugged by the girl, the spirit of the snowfield world.
"Sir, can you accept me?"
"I can always cut mutton and mix it with sesame sauce for you, my Lord."
"A warm bed would be fine too." The spirit girl of heaven and earth looked at Xu Chen expectantly.
"..."
"Who did you learn this from?" Xu Chen couldn't help but ask as he looked at the Spirit of Heaven and Earth girl hugging her thigh like a dog.
"I learned it from my sister. My sister was born before me, and not long after that, she followed a powerful human being and passed away."
"My sister writes to me from time to time, asking me to find a strong human to rely on." The girl looked at Xu Chen with a pair of eyes that had never been polluted.
Xu Chen stroked his chin and looked at the girl who was the spirit of heaven and earth. This spirit of heaven and earth was the most common one. Its only use was to modify the environment in an empty area and create a snowy field.
"Judging from your cultivation level in the immortal realm, you must be tens of thousands of years old." Xu Chen asked casually.
"32843 years old. According to my sister, with my talent, I can become a spiritual immortal in another 7 years, provided I don't get killed by thunder."
"My Daxi Sect just happens to lack a place with snowy scenery."
Xu Chen flipped over in the Taoist weapon space, took out a token engraved with the word "Xu" and threw it to the spirit girl of heaven and earth.
"Take this token to Daxi Sect and ask them to find you a job."
"Thank you, sir."
The spirit girl of heaven and earth knelt down and paid homage.
"Go, meeting is fate." Xu Chen said as he summoned the Taoist spirit boat and prepared to leave.
“Sir, how do we get to Daxi Sect?” asked the girl of the Spirit of Heaven and Earth.
"Uh……"
Xu Chen thought about it, and directly pointed out a ray of light that flew into the center of the eyebrows of the girl of the spirit of heaven and earth.
"You haven't been out for more than 3 years?" Xu Chen asked.
"No, my sister said it's too dangerous outside, so she asked me to practice well at home."
"Once you become a spiritual fairy and are officially canonized by the human race, you will be safe when you go out." The spirit girl of heaven and earth had an innocent expression.
"You're such a homebody~"
"That was in the past. It's not safe now~"
