When he stepped out of the main hall door, Wang Chen spit on the ground.
Of the fixed land rent of 2,500 jins, he actually paid at least 2,600 jins.
More than 100 kilograms were stolen from me by Lingzhitang!
It doesn't sound like much.
But you must know that all these more than one hundred kilograms of spiritual grain were forcefully ripped out of his mouth.
There is no reward!
Moreover, the current price of food is soaring, and the value of more than 100 kilograms of spiritual grain is at least twice that of last year.
Wang Chen finally saw through it.
To the huge Yunyang Sect, all the one hundred thousand monks in the outer sect are just leeks in the fields.
It is an object that can be harvested at will.
In this world where great power belongs to oneself, one Jindan Zhenren is enough to suppress thousands of low-level monks.
Therefore, the middle and high-level leaders of the sect don’t care about the life and death of those below.
Anyway, no matter how many people die, there are many casual cultivators in the outer realm trying to get in.
Wang Chen knew that he was weak and could not do anything at all.
But he no longer has any sense of identification with the Yunyang Sect.
Now I am dormant and slowly amassing strength, and when I am able to protect myself in the future, I can then look for a new world.
The realm of mountains and seas is so vast.
Wang Chen doesn’t believe that there is no place that truly suits him!
He thought to himself as he walked forward along the long street.
Suddenly, a burst of fierce noise interrupted Wang Chen's train of thought.
I saw a large group of people surrounding a shop with a "Dahong Rice Shop" sign on the street.
Most of them are spiritual husbands like Wang Chen.
"Yesterday, the price of old rice was only six pieces of rice. Why did it rise to eight pieces of rice today?"
"Ten pieces of white corn weigh a pound, why don't you go and grab it?"
"Profiteer!"
"Why is this person's heart so bad?"
"The price at the grain store in front is the same, and you all colluded to deceive us!"
"Where's the shopkeeper? Shopkeeper, come out!"
Everyone was filled with indignation and shouted loudly around the shop assistant who was standing in front of the price list. Everyone was blushing.
Their anger is entirely justified.
In previous years, the purchase price of Linggu from the rice and grain stores in the city was only two pieces of Linggu per catty.
It's only a little more expensive if you buy it back.
Now it has increased three or four times, which is simply outrageous!
The other party made it clear that they would take advantage of the fact that farmers suffered disasters this year and were unable to pay their land rent in full, or were in need of food rations.
Hoard and make a fortune!
However, facing a group of monks at the third, fourth, fifth and sixth levels of qi training, the store clerk, who had only transformed from ordinary cultivation, was not afraid, and exchanged words with them with his hands on his hips and his neck.
"Do you understand if you follow the trend of the market? Let me tell you, if you don't buy it today, it will rise tomorrow!"
"If you don't buy it, there are many people who are willing to buy it."
“If you like it, buy it, if you don’t, go away!”
"Profiteer? Could you please tell me again, do you know who our employer is?"
"Master Fan of Baiyi Pavilion, please find out more!"
"Get out of here, don't stop us from doing business."
"If you don't get out, I'll call the patrol!"
One person quarreled with dozens of monks, and the shop assistant at Dahong Rice Shop was so eloquent that a bunch of Lingzhifu were speechless.
The combat effectiveness index is off the charts!
Although any monk could kill this arrogant guy with just a finger.
But who dares to use force in the city?
Not to mention that there is an inner disciple standing behind the other party!
In fact, except for Wanbao Pavilion and Sihai Chamber of Commerce, there are no simple characters who open shops and do business in Yunshan City.
Either directly belong to the Master's family, or depend on the Master's family.
There are very few exceptions.
Everyone knew this, and it was only out of anger that they gathered around the store to denounce it.
Now I have calmed down after being choked, and my rationality has regained the height of my thinking.
He couldn't help but shrink.
"Pooh!"
Seeing the Lingzhi husbands scattering in despair, the store clerk spat on the ground proudly.
A female nun came over holding a child.
She stopped in front of the rice shop and frowned as she looked at the price list on the wall.
"The price of white corn has increased again."
The female nun sighed, lowered her head and said to her child: "Xiaohu, white corn is too expensive now. Can we buy some rice and go home to make rice balls for you?"
"no!"
The naughty child of four or five years old shook his head like a rattle: "Mom, I want to eat white corn, rice is not delicious!"
White corn is spiritual rice.
Gongmi is pearl rice from the mortal world.
In fact, the taste of pearl rice is not bad, and there is no problem in filling your stomach.
But there is no aura at all, so the price is very cheap.
Many casual cultivators rely on tribute rice to avoid starving to death in foreign lands.
However, if monks often eat tribute rice, it will not only affect their daily practice, but also cause trouble in the reincarnation of grains.
Even children know how good Lingmi is!
In order to strengthen his persuasion, the naughty kid shook off his mother's hand and rolled on the ground.
"Lingmi, I want to eat spiritual rice, ah ah ah~"
The sound of crying and howling was loud.
The female nun was very embarrassed and couldn't deal with her naughty child.
So he gritted his teeth and took out the spiritual stones from his storage bag and bought high-priced white corn.
As soon as she left with her children, another group of spiritual husbands came over to check on the price of rice.
Everyone was stunned!
"good news!"
At this time, a monk rushed over and shouted loudly: "The Outer Sect Main Hall has just posted an announcement to form ten wasteland reclamation camps. All qualified disciples can join."
"Those who join the camp can immediately be exempted from this year's ten acres of land tax, or be allocated an equal amount of spiritual grain!"
“The number of places is limited and the opportunity is rare!”
He shouted as he ran, and everyone on the street could hear him clearly.
Everyone was in an uproar!
Previously, the main hall sent a letter to recruit preparatory disciples from the three halls, but now it is actually planning to form ten more wasteland reclamation camps.
The so-called pioneer camp refers to the team of monks who open up territories to the outside world.
The purpose of land reclamation is mainly to occupy new hunting grounds, search for new mineral veins, and search for elixir and spiritual material resources, etc.
Because we have to face countless demons and evil spirits in the outside world, clearing wasteland is a very dangerous job.
The last time the Yunyang Sect opened up wasteland on a large scale was thirty years ago!
Normally, sects encourage disciples to go out and explore and collect resources in the form of tasks.
Setting up a wasteland reclamation camp means doing something big.
One clearing camp has 300 monks, and ten camps equal 3,000 monks.
And according to past practice, each land reclamation camp is led by two or three Master Zifu.
This is going crazy!
Many monks were very excited.
Rice prices are skyrocketing now.
The exemption of ten acres of land tax or the equal amount of spiritual grain rations are already quite tempting.
Moreover, the treatment in the wasteland camp is very good, with exercises, elixirs, talismans, magical weapons, etc. all provided.
Once the wasteland is successfully opened, the rewards of merit points will be even more generous!
Some monks couldn't hold themselves back and immediately rushed to the main hall to find out what was going on.
But these people do not include Wang Chen.
He wasn't excited.
Instead, I feel chilly!
After thinking for a while, Wang Chen decisively ran home.
No matter what other people think, he will not join any of the three preparations or the wasteland reclamation camp.

The second update is sent.
PS: Some people can take a break. Please go out and walk to the left if you are shouting or cursing. The shop will not entertain you. We will seal everyone you see.
