Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 190: Forced sale (fourth update)

Views:

There are many casual cultivators in the Rain Country. There is no powerful force behind them, but cultivating is a very expensive thing. So, where will their money come from

Naturally, he works for others.

For example, escorting a caravan, collecting a reward, killing a villain, or picking medicinal materials that the employer needs. Over time, an organization and place for casual cultivators to take on tasks was formed, which was the Tianwu Hall.

Anyone can join Tianwu Temple. As long as they register their identity information, they can receive tasks and start making money. Of course, Tianwu Palace welcomes financial sponsors to issue tasks. This is a bit like an auction house. After each task is completed, Tianwu Palace can extract a portion of the profits.

Rogue cultivators are of course a piece of loose sand if they are scattered, but together they are definitely a force that cannot be underestimated. Therefore, in the process of development, the royal family was directly involved, not only sharing some of the benefits, but also sending a large number of personnel to monitor, so as not to Someone secretly joined forces to unite these casual cultivators to shake the rule of the country.

Therefore, Tianwu Hall has become more and more formal, with a semi-official nature.

However, there are some things that are not convenient to register, and there are also things that need to be contacted directly in private, so there is no guarantee. The employer may not pay you, or you may not get paid for completing the task, so you have to take the risk yourself.

There is only one rule in Tianwu Hall: money makes things easier.

Ling Han first went to the bank to exchange the banknotes, and then took the east side of the imperial city, where the Tianwu Palace was located.

Liu Yutong followed Ling Han with a frown on his face. Although the Earth Water Sect had a bad reputation and was almost like a rat crossing the street, the leader was a genuine Spirit Sea Realm. If he wanted to deal with such a strong man, he would have to hire someone. There may be several masters who reach the Linghai realm.

After reaching the height of the spiritual sea realm, does a warrior still need to be a mercenary? He can definitely join a big force and become a priest, elder, etc. He only needs to practice every day, and he can enjoy himself without practicing. He only occasionally takes action at critical times.

And what's the use of hiring hundreds of people from the Wellspring Realm? Against the high-level Spiritual Sea Realm, they can only be settled with one move.

Huniu didn't care at all, running around laughing and having fun.

"Stinky girl, where is your master!" An angry voice came, attracting Ling Han's attention. It was a big man setting up a stall on the street, and he was yelling at Huniu.

It turned out that Huniu knocked over several items he had on display, but it was because he took up too much space and placed them on the street, making people have to go around them. The little girl knocked down several items without paying attention. pieces.

Huniu was naturally not someone to be trifled with. She bared her teeth and glared at the strong man, showing her fierce look.

Ling Han walked over, rubbed Huniu's head and said, "What's wrong?"

"Your little girl knocked over my things, pay for it!" The strong man stared at Ling Han and said, while speaking, four similarly strong men came up from behind, each with their arms folded over their chests, showing a sneer. .

Ling Han understood that the strong man from before had deliberately placed the stall so prominently that whenever someone accidentally tripped over something, he would take the opportunity to jump out and demand compensation. The other four were of course his accomplices, used for intimidation.

Ling Han glanced at the goods displayed by the man. These were all deceptive things. Some of the things that looked like ginseng were actually radish with ginseng whiskers attached to them. A few gold items were just fake. The inside was filled with brass, and the joints were very obvious, so there was no way it could have been hidden from his eyes.

He was about to teach these five people a lesson, but his eyes were attracted by a strange-shaped stone, and he couldn't help but ask, "How can I sell this stone?"

The stall owner wanted to get angry, but when he saw that Ling Han was interested in buying his things, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This is cheaper for you, one thousand taels of silver."

"One thousand taels? Are you crazy about money?"

"It's just a piece of broken stone. Even if it's the best Yuhua Stone or Tianqu Stone, such a big piece is only worth a hundred taels of silver."

"Hush, they are from the Earth Water Sect, don't anger them!"

"They bully outsiders here every day, and no one cares about them!"

Some pedestrians on the roadside couldn't see it and immediately criticized them, but some people exposed their identities and warned them.

"Damn it, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will chop you to death!" The stall owner glared with a fierce look, and the four strong men behind him also sneered, which made those who spoke feel scared. Mao, as expected, he didn’t dare to speak anymore.

"Brother, this is a strange stone. Look at how weird its shape is. It's a wonder formed by heaven!" the stall owner blew.

"I don't like it!" Ling Han shook his head. After learning that these people were from the Earth Water Sect, he had evil intentions.

"Don't like it?" the stall owner sneered, "If you don't like it, why are you asking? Are you kidding me? It's too late. Now you have to buy it even if you want it, and you have to buy it if you don't want to!"

"What a bully!"

"How can there be such a forced sale!"

"Who knows, they are from the Earth Water Sect. Some of them reported to the government before, but it was useless when the Imperial Guard came. Instead, they talked and laughed with them."

Some people on the side shouted indignantly, but some local "old people" told the helpless truth. These hooligans were completely confident.

Ling Han pretended to be scared and said, "If I don't buy it, do you still want to beat me?"

"Hmph, this little girl knocked over my things, and you wasted my time again. If you want to buy this stone, then write it off, otherwise... Hehe!" The stall owner winked, and the four people behind him simultaneously He took out a dagger and started playing with it in his hand. The threat could not be more obvious.

"If you have something to say, let's talk!" Ling Han waved his hands quickly and said, "I'll just buy it."

"That's about the same!" The stall owner sneered. Seeing that Ling Han seemed weak and easy to bully, he couldn't help but grow greedy and said, "Now the price has increased, it costs two thousand taels of silver!" He glared at Ling Han and said, " What, you don’t want to pay?”

"Here." Ling Han said, handing over two banknotes, both with a face value of one thousand taels.

"Hahahaha!" The stall owner suddenly laughed proudly. This guy was a fool from some rich family, but he actually paid the money after being scared.

"Is this stone mine?" Ling Han asked with a smile.

"Yours! Yours!" The stall owner waved his hand. He found this stone in the backyard a few days ago. Because it looked strange and had a certain ornamental value, he put it for sale. The original purpose was naturally to deceive others. Yes, I didn't expect to sell it for two thousand taels of silver.

Liu Yutong saw this and was filled with confusion. With Ling Han's ability, it was naturally easy to deal with these five ruffians. Why did he want to be deceived on purpose

Ling Han chuckled, and lightly knocked on the stone. Under the surge of Yuan Power, cracks suddenly appeared on the ancient head. When he gently broke it, the gravel fell to the ground one after another. There were actually something inside. Golden light flashed.

"Huh?" Everyone couldn't help but look over.
