Coming out of the Records Hall, Song Zhishu had a wooden box in his hand. Inside the box was a letter that he wanted to deliver to Jicheng, thousands of miles away.
Jicheng still belongs to the territory of Taihao Sword City, and the three thousand miles surrounding Taihao Sword Sect belong to the sect's property. A part of the people's livelihood income must be handed over to the sect.
This is one of the main reasons for the rapid rise of Taihao Sword Sect, the sect's commercialization.
Most sects are arrogant and look down on lower-level monks, and don't want them even if they don't have good qualifications. Therefore, many sects don't have many disciples, and a thousand people are already considered a lot.
There are many hundreds of people who don't have it, and what they play is quality. However, the Taihao Sword Sect is different. Anyone can come, regardless of education, and it will create benefits anyway.
Thousands of spiritual houses have been built by connecting the spiritual veins, and no one knows how many spiritual stones are coming in every month from rent collection. In addition, there are benefits if there are people. Every shop in every market in the city has a clearly marked price.
All incoming and outgoing goods must pay taxes, and even if they are small, the amount accumulated will be astronomical.
This is the super powerful thought of Taihao Sword Sect. Looking at Shushan and Qingcheng, the strength of the sect is definitely far beyond that of Taihao Sword Sect, but its growth rate is really not as good as that of Taihao Sword Sect.
There are rumors that the Qingcheng Sword Sect has begun to imitate the Taihao Sword Sect, and even some other large sects are also imitating it. Except for some old-school sects, most of them are coveting the Taihao Sword Sect's income.
The Taihao Sword Sect's territory is within three thousand miles, but that doesn't mean there are no dangers. There are three main dangers. One is murder and robbery. Quite a few monks die at their hands every year.
Song Zhishu changed the subject and asked Li Qingzhou.
Song Zhishu nodded, and just when he was about to speak, the jade pendant on Li Qingzhou's waist suddenly flashed. It was a communication jade, a simple magical weapon.
However, Song Zhishu still has some confidence. There is an outer disciple guarding the main road along the way. Unless you are too aggressive in leaking money, otherwise no one would dare to do this. Of course, if you take the main road, you will be given fifty broken spirit beads.
"Senior brother, I don't know exactly what happened, but there has been some chaos recently. If possible, it is best not to send letters and stay in Mingyue City peacefully to avoid danger."
"Brother, is this okay? You take the spirit stone and I will come to you in two months. If you don't need it, return the spirit stone to me then. But if you really need the spirit stone, you can take it from it.
How about giving it back to me?"
Many people can't even afford four low-grade spiritual stones, let alone adding two low-grade spiritual stones at once? The cost of housing is too high, so they have no choice but to leave, especially those who are already hesitant.
"Senior brother, there is something going on above. Junior sister will leave first. If anything happens, contact me immediately. Junior sister will come over as soon as possible no matter what."
If the person sharing the flat leaves, you will have to bear the rent yourself, which is a certain risk.
Song Zhishu spoke slowly, and he took the initiative to explain to avoid repeated questions.
She was very envious. If this news spread, all the nominal disciples would not be envious. Who would not be envious of receiving a treasure worth hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones from a woman as a gift to a man?
When Song Zhishu returned to his residence, he found that the door had been opened, and at a glance, Li Qingzhou suddenly appeared in the room.
The second danger is encountering monsters. Taihao Sword City is a few hundred miles away, but it is not too safe if it is more than a few hundred miles away. The sect issues some monster elimination missions every year, but there are too many monsters.
If he had not obtained the Holy Tower, Song Zhishu would have left without hesitation, but Su Wanyun was different. She was smiling all over her face. It seemed that she was not moving away, but moving.
"By the way, I will be traveling far away in a few days. It is a sect task to deliver a letter. What big things have happened to the sect recently? Do you have any gossip?"
Li Qingzhou left without hesitation.
Su Wanyun, who was supervising the move, suddenly saw Song Zhishu and spoke with a smile. However, Su Wanyun's expression changed in an instant.
Li Qingzhou said out loud that she was just a handyman disciple, but she came into contact with different people, but even so, she didn't know what happened.
"Marrow Cleansing Pill?" Su Wanyun clicked her tongue a little. This thing is not ordinary. Even if she is now a handyman disciple, it is difficult to get a Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Taking another step forward, Song Zhishu can become a handyman disciple, and his status will change a lot.
When I returned to my residence, I met Su Wanyun. Outside the yard, carriages appeared one after another. Many people were moving. The rent increase did not seem like a big deal, but in fact it had an impact.
Perhaps for the strong men of Taihao Sword Sect, rising to two realms is nothing, but for nominal disciples like them, the two realms are simply a world of difference.
"Okay, Junior Sister Su, let's move on. I have something else to do, so I'll go over there first."
"That's good, that's good. Senior brother's talent is not bad either."
"Senior Brother Song."
Originally, Song Zhishu didn't even want the Marrow Cleansing Pill. If he hadn't wanted to improve his realm quickly, he would have really given it back to Li Qingzhou. Now, Li Qingzhou has sent the spirit stone. If he accepts it, wouldn't he really be eating a soft meal?
"Senior brother, why should we be so polite in our relationship? I have some things to do recently, and I may not show up in the next two months, so I have no time to take care of senior brother. This spiritual stone can be used for emergency use in case senior brother cannot be contacted."
"You are so lucky to be valued so much by Senior Sister Qingzhou, and even give me the Marrow Cleansing Pill."
Song Zhishu immediately spoke up.
"Junior Sister Qingzhou?"
Song Zhishu said that he had two purposes for going out this time. One was to see if there was any easier way to gain Confucian righteousness outside, and the second was not to attract attention.
Su Wanyun said with a smile, but her words seemed modest, but in fact she was still a bit proud. A medium-level spiritual house was not ordinary. Ten low-grade spiritual stones for a month felt like it was cost-effective to rent together, but in fact, whether it is stable is a question.
Li Qingzhou said worriedly, but after saying this, she couldn't help but be surprised.
For a moment, Li Qingzhou felt a little happy. Song Zhishu had improved her level, and her hard work was not in vain.
Song Zhishu spoke seriously and his attitude was very firm. He did not want to rely on a woman to support himself. This was his bottom line.
"Understood."
Li Qingzhou nodded. She knew Song Zhishu's temper and any further words would be counterproductive.
"Senior brother, have you reached the fourth level of Qi training?"
in this way.
The third point is that there was an accident. Some random accidents are difficult to estimate, but Song Zhishu doesn't feel that he is that unlucky.
Li Qingzhou thought of a compromise. After saying this, she also took a firm stance and placed the spirit stone bag in Song Zhishu's hand.
"Go back first, repair the flying sword, and then send the message. Once the flying sword is repaired, it can fly five hundred miles in one day, and it takes four days to go back and forth. The sooner you complete the task, the sooner you can come back."
Li Qingzhou said quickly.
"Senior brother, do you have any intention? If so, junior sister, can I help you contact me?"
"But you still have to be careful. This rent increase includes an increase in the prices of all kinds of magic pills and elixirs in the city. Something big may happen."
It's not Song Zhishu's pretense, it's just that he has an immortal destiny, and he's not really poor. His future prospects are definitely far better than Li Qingzhou's, which is unnecessary.
But taking the main road is not a big problem and you won’t be so unlucky.
Most of the monster beasts have little intelligence, and their strength is probably around the third or fourth level of Qi training. After all, monster beasts are born with strong bodies and are inherently stronger than humans.
Song Zhishu smiled and spoke.
"Senior brother."
"Thanks to Junior Sister, the Marrow Cleansing Pill is of great help."
She looked shocked. She couldn't believe that Song Zhishu's realm reached the fourth level of Qi training so quickly. When they met a few days ago, he was only on the second level of Qi training. How could he break through two levels in one breath?
"If possible, it's best not to go out, but everything still depends on senior brother's own wishes."
Moreover, the higher the status, the more people you come into contact with. Every place needs spiritual stones for maintenance, food and drink. How could Song Zhishu not know this?
"Okay."
"No need, I'm used to living here, and I don't have any spiritual stones."
Zhishu Song didn't want to say anything more, so he walked directly past Su Wanyun and left, but the latter couldn't help but look at Zhishu Song, and waited until he disappeared before saying something to himself.
She hadn't realized that Song Zhishu had just spoken, but now the topic was changed, and Li Qingzhou immediately realized that Song Zhishu's realm had made a breakthrough.
Unable to hold back her envy, Su Wanyun said: "Senior Sister Qingzhou is really generous. She can get things like Marrow Cleansing Pills. Oh, I envy you for having such a good relationship. If there is someone who is so kind to me, I will follow him wholeheartedly."
."
If it weren't for these two points, the sect's tasks would not be done if they were not done. At worst, a few contribution points would be deducted, and the situation would open up, so there would be no need to save so much.
"Junior sister, what are you doing? Take this spirit stone back. If you insist on giving it to me, don't contact me in the future."
"Deliver a message?"
Li Qingzhou stood up, holding a storage bag in his hand, and spoke directly.
"Something has happened to the sect recently. I don't know what it is specifically, but all prices have increased, especially the rent. Among them are the salary I just received, and fifty low-grade spiritual stones. Senior brother, please take it first. I have it on hand.
There are still some spiritual stones on it, enough for yourself."
Li Qingzhou said.
Song Zhishu was a little surprised and curious as to why Li Qingzhou was here.
Song Zhishu asked.
"Junior Sister Su, stop joking, where are you going?"
"No, I have already collected a marrow-cleansing pill, and you gave me so much. Now that you are also a handyman disciple, you need the spirit stone in all aspects, so there is no need to give it to me."
Seeing Governor Song's attitude, Li Qingzhou remained silent for a moment, but after thinking about it, Li Qingzhou spoke up.
"Fourth level of Qi training?"
"Didn't the rent increase? Thinking that a medium spiritual house only contains ten low-grade spiritual stones, junior sister did the math and found that sharing it with others would be cheaper, and you can enjoy more spiritual energy, so we moved."
Su Wanyun spoke, full of envy.
The execution of tasks can be exempted, which is also a business benefit and is very actuarial.
"Junior sister Qingzhou sent a marrow cleansing pill, and by luck, it reached the fourth level of Qi training."
"I've already asked for the Marrow Cleansing Pill and given me the Spiritual Stone. Junior Sister Qingzhou, although you and I have a very good relationship, it's not my character to rely on you for support. You know my temper, so take it back."
Song Zhishu couldn't laugh or cry. He was very grateful to Li Qingzhou for never leaving him, but treating him like this made him feel a little bad.
"Okay, stay safe, Qingzhou."
Song Zhishu spoke, and Li Qingzhou soon left. In the room, Song Zhishu came to the window and looked at the carriages carrying luggage, his eyes full of curiosity.
What happened?
But no matter what, Song Zhishu still planned to go out and take a look.
But he would have to wait another ten days to repair the flying sword.
