Chapter 5040 The Immortal Master Purchases Grain
Anguzhou, inside a grain depot.
The neat granaries are filled with all kinds of grains, and many people are engaged in various jobs.
A large number of people gathered in the management office of the grain depot, but it seemed extremely quiet.
A large group of mortal officials were following the monks step by step with great respect.
The gait when walking was very cautious, for fear of making too much noise and affecting the mood of the immortal master.
It is so humble just because there are monks here.
The aloof cultivators are the most powerful people in the true spiritual world. Even officials cannot afford to offend them.
They even try their best to flatter the practitioners, hoping to gain their favor.
Looking at their expressions, you can tell that they all have strong expectations, hoping to be appreciated by the immortal master.
Once you get what you want, you will be successful.
Before today, they never thought that an immortal master would come in person.
The Immortal’s status is such that even the royal family and nobles are in awe of him. He rarely appears in front of the world.
To be able to meet the immortal master in person and be given a few words of instruction is a great honor in the eyes of mortals.
Their grain depot is located in a remote area, and few noble people visit it on weekdays.
Officials who serve here will be regarded as belittled and will have a hard time getting ahead.
Unless it was a disaster year, who would remember that such a grain warehouse still existed
I never dreamed that Xianyu would one day turn around.
It turns out that just one day ago, the director of the grain depot received a royal order. Immortals will come tomorrow and take away all the various grains in stock.
You must cooperate fully and make no mistakes, otherwise you will be severely punished.
The grain depot officials who received the notification were surprised and happy for a moment. They did not expect to encounter such a thing.
Immediately call on all the people at work to pave the loess road, splash water on the street, and get flowers, plants and brocade to decorate it.
At the same time, a large number of beautiful maids were borrowed from wealthy families, wearing colorful clothes and holding fruits in their hands to serve the immortals.
At the same time, a large number of musicians were dispatched to rehearse and practice carefully to please the immortals.
Once the immortal is happy and satisfied, he can reward him with a few elixirs, which will extend his life and benefit endlessly.
Even if you don't eat it yourself, you can still supply it to the emperor and nobles in exchange for a lot of benefits.
Those high-ranking nobles are as humble as dogs in front of the immortals, and they are extremely thirsty for the elixir.
On the night of receiving the order, a prince took a small cloud boat and arrived at the grain depot at an extremely fast speed.
After the prince arrived, he immediately took over the leadership of the grain depot, just to better entertain the immortal master.
The grain depot officials were very depressed when they saw this.
Just because of the benefits, the benefits will be taken away by the prince, and their busy work will probably be in vain.
I stayed up almost all night, and set up my battle array early in the morning, respectfully waiting for the arrival of the immortal.
I didn’t wait too long before I saw cloud boats descending from the sky. They were all large ships that transported goods.
They had never seen such a huge thing before, and their hearts were filled with shock at this moment.
The prince was even more so, with a smile on his face like a flower, and respectfully greeted the immortal master.
The Immortal Master headed by him comes from a large sect in this state and belongs to the status of an elder.
Even in the eyes of the royal family, it is an existence that is beyond words.
In front of him, the emperor's younger brother was extremely humble and respectful, like a domestic dog that pleases its master.
"Well done."
Seeing this, the sect elder nodded gently, then raised his hand and waved lightly.
Little bits of golden light flew into the hands of the prince, and the surrounding officials also had their share.
“I’ve rewarded you with a good job and collect more food as soon as possible.” Everyone who received the elixir was overjoyed and nodded in agreement.
Although they are also very puzzled, why do immortals who eat wind, drink dew and not eat grains need a lot of food?
However, they also know very well that it is best not to inquire about such things, otherwise they may get into trouble.
Once the immortal is angered, the consequences will be disastrous, and even the emperor cannot bear it.
As for the food needed by the immortals, just send people to collect it. In recent years, the food harvest has been bumper, and the folk food reserves are quite sufficient.
Collecting more tax will not affect people's livelihood.
Besides, the common people are as humble as ants, how can they be compared with the noble immortals? Contributing food to please the immortals is definitely a blessing that can only be accumulated for eight lifetimes.
Of course, the benefits of exchange will not be given to these untouchables, but will be received by the upper class on their behalf.
When a group of officials were secretly ecstatic and decided to get more food to please the immortal, the sect elder looked towards the sky in front of him.
There was also expectation in his eyes.
You can tell from the looks of it that this elder is waiting for someone, and the person is very important.
The officials were curious and did not know who the other party was, so that he could be greeted by a sect elder.
Although they were curious, no one dared to ask, lest they offend the Immortal Master and incur punishment.
Not long after, a silver line drew across the horizon, and then a strange-looking aircraft appeared in front of us.
Compared with the Yunzhou commonly used by monks, this one is more delicate and sturdy, and the whole body is in a closed state.
Unlike Yun Zhou, who can feel the cold wind coming when he is flying, only the inside of the cabin is more comfortable.
Although I don’t know the specific data, in everyone’s eyes, this weird aircraft seems to be more advanced.
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Is it possible that the other party’s identity is higher than that of the elders of the sect?
Under the gaze of everyone, several monks wearing black armor walked out of the strange-looking aircraft.
The sect elders with serious expressions suddenly smiled at this moment and took the initiative to greet several monks.
His kind performance made everyone's hearts tremble, and they became more and more aware of the extraordinary status of the black-armored monk.
Compared to ordinary officials, that prince was more knowledgeable and quickly noticed the pattern on the chest of the black-armored monk.
"This is..."
After seeing the pattern, the prince felt that it looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
After pondering for more than ten seconds, an idea flashed in his mind, making the fat prince's eyes widen.
He thought about the origin of the pattern. It was clearly from the mysterious magic city that caused a sensation in the entire true spirit world some time ago.
The monks in front of me are obviously related to the Demonic City, and may even come from the mysterious Demonic City.
Thinking of the legend about the Demon City, the prince suddenly realized, secretly thinking that it was no wonder it was like this.
If you want these arrogant monks to show a humble posture, they must be more powerful than them.
The legendary Demonic City located in the abyss and possessing great strength obviously has such qualifications.
Compared with existences like Demon City, this sect elder in Angu Prefecture is indeed not on the same level.
While the prince was thinking about it secretly, the elders of the sect and the monks from the Demon City were already talking with smiles on their faces.
The two sides talked happily, as if they were old friends meeting again.
Not long after, a group of maids in colorful clothes came one after another, holding trays with various kinds of food.
These grains come from granaries and are replaced every once in a while, just to cope with years of famine.
The purpose of taking out the stored grain is for the Immortal Master to inspect it and confirm that there is no quality problem.
Only then did everyone onlookers realize that it was the monks in Demon City who needed food, and the elders of the sect in Anguzhou were just middlemen.
In fact, it is not considered a middleman. The moment the elder An Guzong took over, all the food had been confiscated.
Including the food collected in the future, it also belongs to the elders of the sect.
