Chapter 412: Tithe Tax, Tear up the Legal Contract (Second Update)

Finally, Master Qingli finished his sermon leisurely.

Everyone in the main hall looked solemn, with clear doubts in their eyes.

In the side hall next to it, many people were already sleeping here and there, which seemed to mean "everyone gets drunk even if they are not drunk".

On the other hand, the more peripheral qi-training monks showed no reaction at all, as if they had not heard Master Qingli's sermon at all.

Li Qing coughed and summoned several of his disciples via message, asking them to take the sleeping Foundation Establishment monks one by one to the prepared guest rooms.

Master Miaochang composed himself, and finally raised his hand to Qingli: "Brother Taoism has a profound realm and magical powers. It's really amazing!"

The other Master Jiedan and the Lord of the Blessed Land also expressed their compliments.

Li Qing naturally followed the trend and said a few words.

In this way, this banquet of promotion to a blessed land can be considered to have come to an end.

Among the distinguished guests in the main hall, Qu Jiang and Chen Heng were the first to stand up and say goodbye: "I have a lot of affairs in my blessed land. It is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will go ahead."

"When you have time in the future, I welcome fellow Daoist Li to visit me at Minggan Blessed Land (Ling Mushroom Blessed Land). I will sweep your bed to welcome you."

Afterwards, Master Miaochang also stood up: "My Xuan Palace is now paying no attention to external affairs and focusing on cultivation. The rest of the trivial matters have nothing to do with me, so I will go too."

Subsequently, the other disciples from the alchemy force who came on behalf of their teachers also resigned one after another.

Sang Yuwan and Li Qing looked at each other and confirmed each other's intentions, then did not get up.

Master Cao looked at Li Qing, then at Master Qingli and Master Lu who were still drinking by themselves, and shook his head slightly.

He thought for a moment and finally stood up: "Fellow Daoist Li, I have a few cooperation matters that I would like to communicate with you. But since you are not available, it is okay for me to go talk to your clan brother."

Li Qing endured it and did not say that Li Yu was actually his clan brother.

Master Cao didn't care about this, and simply shrunk to a small distance and left the main hall to find Li Yu who was "drunk" due to the magical power of "flower blooming".

After he left, Master Lu smiled slightly and cast a spell to isolate the inside and outside of the hall.

Li Qing frowned slightly and looked at her: "What does Fellow Daoist Lu mean by doing this?"

Master Lu smiled and said, "I came here today because I was entrusted by the king to confirm something with my Taoist friends."

Since the death of the late emperor, Chixiao Taojun ruled the world as the national master. There has been no emperor in the Great Zhou Dynasty, only the king.

Li Qing heard this: "What's the matter?"

Lu Zhenren said word by word: "Tax... tax... pay... tribute!"

Li Qing couldn't help but be silent.

In the past, when Chixiao Imperial Master was in charge of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Lixuan Palace was in charge of the cardinals, the imperial court was in name only and the royal family was nothing more than a mascot.

Xuan Palace had a deep foundation due to the imperial master's southern and northern expeditions, which destroyed a lot of Jiedan and even Yuanying's power. Therefore, he could not look down on the three melons and jujubes of the Li family at all.

Now that Xuan Palace has faded away and the imperial court is in charge of political affairs, it is the time when cultivation materials are urgently needed.

It just so happened that the Li family's Green Crane Valley was promoted to the Kunpeng Blessed Land. It would definitely benefit a lot in the future, and the royal family and the court would naturally come here.

Li Qing thought for a while and asked, "I wonder what percentage the exchange between Brother Qu and Daoyou Chen is?"

Master Lu didn't shy away from it and made it clear: "For their two blessed lands, one will be drawn out of twelve. As for the blessed lands left by the predecessors, one will be drawn out of ten."

Li Qing was angry: Is this a tithe tax? Do you want to sell another indulgence?

It stands to reason that the tithe tax would not be high if levied alone among mortals.

However, cultivation qualifications are urgently needed and difficult to save. Most monks can only barely meet their cultivation needs. If another tenth is taken away, the result can be imagined.

But the situation was stronger than the people, so Li Qing had to ask patiently: "Then I don't know if the court needs my Li family, how much should I pay?"

Master Lu smiled faintly: "My Taoist friends Qu and Chen have been promoted for a long time and have made a lot of contributions to our Da Zhou, so they are given some preferential treatment."

"Fellow Taoist, your place is, after all, a newly promoted blessed land. It has not yet had many achievements that are enough to convince the public. The intention of the princes in the imperial court is to draw one out of ten like other blessed lands."

The Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for a long time, and although Earth Immortal monks are rare, they have visited many blessed places one after another.

However, with the death of the owner of the blessed lands, these blessed lands did not have anyone who could support them, so they could only fall from the third level of power.

Some descendants have fallen, and these blessed places have even fallen to the back of the second-level forces due to exhaustion of their heritage.

Naturally, these people can only be exploited.

Li Qing was silent for a moment, but he still had to agree: "I agree to this matter. Do you have a Dharma deed for me, fellow Taoist?"

Master Lu carefully observed Li Qing's expression, smiled, and took out a Dharma Deed: "Fellow Taoist, please take a look!"

Li Qing was not polite. He took it over and took a look. He found that the treaty was concise and clear. It was to draw one out of ten of the output of the blessed land.

If it involves some high-quality resources with extremely low output, less than 10%, the imperial court has the right to collect them first, and then write off part of them from the lower-level resource share at an equal value.

With the strength of a fifth-level wizard, he secretly checked the legal deed and found that there was nothing fishy about it, so he signed it anyway.

Master Lu slapped Li Qing in the face, and Yingying smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, fellow Taoist, I am also following orders. After everything is done, it's time for me to go back."

This time, Li Qing only raised his left hand to say goodbye.

At this point, the only guest left in the entire main hall of the banquet was Master Qingli.

Sang Yuwan does not count. According to Li Qing's relationship with him, he is considered half the master.

Master Qing Li glanced at Master Lu who was flying away outside the hall, and said indifferently: "It's a ridiculous group of people who don't know themselves. Fellow Taoist, don't take it too seriously."

Li Qing's expression moved slightly: "I dare to ask the real person, why do you say this?"

Zhenren Qingli shook his head and did not continue to unfold it. Instead, he sat upright and took out a law contract.

Li Qing took it and saw that it was a law contract signed by the ancestors of the Li family and Yanling Valley six hundred years ago.

It stipulates that the Li family of Qinghe Valley in the territory of Xuefeng Lake is willing to regard Yanling Valley as the upper clan and fulfill the obligation to deliver talents and beautiful jade.

The talents and beautiful jade here refer to the outstanding children in the family and various resources.

Li Qing raised his eyebrows: "Zhenren, this..."

Zhenren Qingli smiled and said: "You are now sitting on a blessed land, and your position is equivalent to the third level. The strongest of my Yanling Valley is only the Jindan, which is only the third level."

"Since we are fellow Taoists discussing Taoism in the same hall, this law contract should naturally not be kept anymore. It will be invalidated today."

As he said, he raised his hand and pointed, and a wisp of true energy tore the law contract into pieces.

The power of the law contract contained in it also dissipated.

At this moment, including Li Qing, all the members of the Li family felt inexplicably relieved.

Li Qing was determined in his heart and bowed to him solemnly to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Master. My Li family will definitely remember it in our hearts."

Master Qingli did not hide it: "Why do I need the Li family to be grateful? I just think highly of my fellow Taoist and came to establish a relationship with him in advance."

Li Qing was not annoyed: "Master, don't worry, I am also very grateful."

After all, no one wants to wear a tight ring. (End of this chapter)
