Chapter 287 Tax Collector

Earth.

Deep in the Qinling Mountains.

A beautiful woman wearing a white robe sat upright in the clouds.

The proportions of the woman's figure are extremely perfect, her waist is supported by thin willows, her long hair is flying, and her eyes are bright and bright. She has an elegant and ethereal temperament in her movements, just like a living fairy who has descended from the fairy world to the mortal world.

Beside the woman, there were red-crowned cranes, black-necked cranes, gray cranes, and white cranes. Countless cranes gathered from all directions, flying and dancing around her, making bursts of crane calls.

"This person is truly as beautiful as a fairy. No Internet celebrity on the planet can compare with her in terms of beauty."

Fang Qiuchan looked into the sky and sighed.

As both women, she felt a sense of amazement towards the woman in the sky, she was so beautiful.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Zhaoyang reminded: "This woman's cultivation is unfathomable. If she accidentally says the wrong thing, she will be in big trouble. Go and tell all the people watching. It is best to drive them away."

"Only if they are willing to leave."

Fang Qiuchan shook his head.

Behind the two of them, there were at least thousands of people looking at the woman in the sky, their eyes full of admiration and fascination.

"Find a way and don't disturb the tax collector."

Zhang Zhaoyang made arrangements and stared at the woman a few more times before leaving. Finally, he turned around and left, turning back to the base.

Within the base.

Han Xiaoli, Hong Jing, and Wang Chao were counting the spiritual stones piled on the ground.

One hundred thousand spiritual stones are blooming with light, each one more crystal clear than the most beautiful treasure diamond on earth, and they are all piled together at this moment.

The three of them carefully counted them one by one, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they put down the last one.

"One hundred thousand spiritual stones, not a few."

Han Xiaoli sat on the ground relieved and said, "Thank you for your hard work, two junior brothers."

"It's not hard work or not." Hong Jing shook his head: "I just didn't expect that the crane tax envoy would come so quickly this year. After handing over this sum, there will only be the last one hundred thousand left in the country. I don't know what happened to Master. So, has the martial arts school recruited any disciples?"

"If we don't send money back next year, the earth will really have to live on a tight diet."

This description made the other two people unable to laugh at all.

Kong Ji brought back a lot of science and technology, and the country has been researching it with all its strength, and science and technology have advanced by leaps and bounds.

pity.

The most critical and scarce spiritual stone still hasn’t grown much.

For more than a year, all cultivators who had reached the magic realm and above were brought to the Qinling base to condense spiritual stones every day. In the end, there were only a thousand more than the 300,000 at the beginning. It was simply It’s just a drop in the bucket.

Many scholars are studying ways to increase the production of spiritual stones, but in the end they have not produced any results.

"I really can't bear it."

A martial arts idiot like Wang Chao is looking at the one hundred thousand spirit stones on the ground with reluctance in his eyes: "Hand over one hundred thousand spirit stones at once. All the cultivators in our country who have reached the realm must condense at least one." century!"

“I worked so hard to save, but I spent it all in one go!”

"It hurts to think about it."

Han Xiaoli shook his head helplessly: "I am also heartbroken, but there is no way. Earth's civilization simply cannot afford the consequences of not paying. The power of the Crane Tax Envoy is simply not something we can withstand. Even Master may not be as powerful as her."

"A nuclear bomb can't do any harm to this man!"

He was talking about what happened last year.

At that time, women, also known as crane tax envoys, came to the earth to collect spiritual stones.

It just happened that they had gained something from domestic research on nuclear fusion technology and used it to test the explosion of the latest nuclear bomb. As a result, the crane tax envoy did not know what happened. He was alarmed by the power of the nuclear bomb and directly cast a spell from thousands of miles away, swallowing up all the power of the nuclear bomb explosion. Clean and tidy.

This immediately alarmed the senior management and the news spread quickly.

Fortunately, although the crane tax envoy seems to be difficult to get along with, he is actually cold-hearted and kind-hearted. The reason why he takes action is that he is afraid that something will happen when the nuclear bomb explodes, which will cause harm to the civilization of the earth.

After the two parties talked about it, everything was fine.

Hong Jing asked: "It seems that there has been no news from Master for more than a year. The crane tax envoy travels the universe. I wonder if I can ask her to inquire?"

Wang Chao frowned: "That's not good. If the crane tax envoy is made unhappy, it will be troublesome."

Han Xiaoli thought about it and felt something was wrong: "Junior brother Wang is right, it's better not to cause too much trouble. Although this person is cold-faced and kind-hearted, the power gap between us and her is too far. Just in case, Proceed with caution.”

While the three of them were discussing, Zhang Zhaoyang walked in.

"Are the spirit stones ready?"

"I have counted them ten times. One hundred thousand spiritual stones, not a few."

Han Xiaoli stood up, used his true energy to arrange all the spirit stones one by one, and placed them again in several wooden boxes made of innate spirit wood. After confirming them for the last time, they locked them.

"Let's go and pay our taxes."

The four of them each carried a few wooden boxes, walked out of the base, and came to the foot of the mountain.

Han Xiaoli came forward and shouted loudly: "He Tax Envoy, this year's spiritual stones have been prepared, and they are all in these boxes."

Hear sounds.

The Crane Tax Messenger, who was sitting firmly on the clouds, slowly fell down. With a wave of his hand, all the boxes were opened, and one hundred thousand spiritual stones flew out one by one. Finally, they all fell into her hands and disappeared.

"The number is correct."

He Xianrong looked coldly, looking at the dozens of wooden boxes with a thousand spirit stones still left at the bottom, and waved his hands gently: "I am only responsible for collecting taxes, and I don't want anything else."

"Okay."

Han Xiaoli readily agreed.

More than a dozen wooden boxes were made of the top-grade innate spiritual wood of Earth Civilization, and they were priceless.

The same thing was done last year, but the boxes were made of innate spiritual gold, and one thousand spiritual stones were left behind.

He Xianrong also didn't want it.

But if she didn't want it, Earth Civilization had to make a gesture.

"Okay, the tax has been collected, so I'll leave. I'll come again at this time next year."

While speaking, He Xianrong was about to leave, but stopped and looked at the four people: "I have something to remind you."

"I have also been to Earth Civilization twice, and I know that you are trying to master nuclear fusion technology. According to the regulations of the Dragon Clan, any civilization that has mastered nuclear fusion technology and has a dragon power realm of more than eight levels will be promoted from a first-level civilization to a second-level civilization, and the annual spiritual stone tax will also increase to 200,000!"

"I think you need to know this news."

As soon as these words came out.

The faces of several people changed drastically, as if they were struck by a bolt from the blue.

"What?"

"There is such a rule?"

"Two hundred thousand!"

The four of them opened their mouths wide, their faces bitter, their whole bodies seemed to be poured with a basin of ice water, and they felt cold inside and out.

"Don't worry too much for now." He Xianrong kindly reminded: "I think it will take at least a few decades for Earth civilization to develop nuclear fusion technology, and it is not that easy to advance to the eighth level of Dragon Power. There is no rush for this matter, just a reminder."
