Chapter 9 Innocence
"Uncle Han, farewell!"
"Hey, Li Xiaoyou, don't you really want to buy some spiritual rice?" Han Tiezhu refused to give up, "People are like iron rice. Steel, Li Xiaoyou..."
"Next time, definitely next time!"
Wu Tao handed over his hands and walked out of Ding District with his baggage on his back. He did some calculations and sold such a little spirit. Shi was not the time to enjoy spiritual rice at all.
Just buy some Fanmi and eat it, why don't you just pour more Ye Xiang?
Now he is going to the Fangshi Leasing Office to pay taxes.
Any successful transaction in the market must issue a transaction certificate and then pay taxes. If you evade taxes and are caught by the market, the consequences will be disastrous.
Wu Tao was a good citizen who paid taxes in his past and present lives.
Besides, it’s not worth it for the 10% tax to get caught by the city.
The transaction amount was fourteen low-grade spiritual stones, with a 10% tax, which was one low-grade spiritual stone plus forty broken spiritual stones. He carefully took out a low-grade spiritual stone, and then took out the remaining broken spiritual stones that Zhang Li lent him. , just right.
"Keep your tax receipts safe. You can collect them for statistics at the end of the year. If it reaches a certain amount, there will be other benefits." The clerk who collected the transaction tax reminded Wu Tao.
Wu Tao took it and quickly thanked him: "Thank you for the tip."
After coming out, he carefully put the tax payment voucher close to his body and calculated in his mind:
" There are still 13 low-grade spiritual stones and six broken spiritual stones left. If I pay the rent for six yuan and fifteen broken spiritual stones, then there are still six and ninety-one broken spiritual stones left. I still want one for Zhang Li. Buy demon silk and sparkling stone, well..."
"Isn't it..."
The joy after selling the robe suddenly disappeared completely, and his face turned into a bitter melon.
"Hey!"
With a long sigh, he came to a shop selling weapon refining materials and asked: "Fellow Taoist, how do you sell sparks and demon silk?"
The shop clerk replied: "One piece of sparkling stone, two low-grade spiritual stones, one pound of demon silk, one low-grade spiritual stone, how much do you want, fellow Taoist?"
"Bring me six Sparkling Stones and two kilograms of demonic silk."
As if seeing the words Lingshi-5 floating above his head, Wu Tao felt like his heart was twisting in a knife, it hurt so much.
Carrying a baggage with the silk of the Sparkling Stone Demon on his back, Wu Tao did not dare to stay in this market any longer. He walked through several more alleys and made sure that no one was following him before entering Xinde Alley.
He is now "extremely rich", so there is nothing wrong with being careful.
Although the West Outer City is nominally under the jurisdiction of the disciples of Wuquan Mountain, and they provide shelter and safety to the casual cultivators, there are always some desperadoes.
As soon as he returned to his residence, he saw a fat figure standing at the door, like a rich man. When he saw Wu Tao, he snorted coldly: "I thought you were going to evade the rent..."
Wu Tao stepped forward quickly, with a flattering smile on his face. He bent a little while speaking and said, "Manager Zhou, how dare you say this..."
Yaxing Manager Zhou's expression softened and he said: "I'm sorry, I don't dare. Okay, without further ado, pay this month's rent. The rent is two yuan of low-grade spirit stones, plus the four yuan of low-grade spirit stones you owed before." The spiritual stone deposit, and other fees, total six low-grade spiritual stones and fifteen broken spiritual stones.”
Wu Tao immediately took out the spiritual stone bag and poured out all the six low-grade spiritual stones in his palm. , counted out fifteen broken spiritual stones, handed them over, and said: "Guanshi Zhou, they have been prepared a long time ago, please order them."
Guanshi Zhou counted them, and took out a storage bag with his left hand. Seeing the spirit stone in his right hand move, the pieces of spirit stone disappeared in an instant, but entered the storage bag.
Wu Tao looked at it with envy. This is a storage bag. I wonder when I can have one? I wonder if I can ask Manager Zhou to let me touch it...
Seeing his envious eyes, Manager Zhou didn't care and said, "Okay, I'll go to the next house to collect the rent." Manager Zhou, please wait..." Wu Tao stopped Manager Zhou, took out ten broken spiritual stones from the storage bag, presented them with both hands, and said: "I first came to the West Outer City and I was short of money. Thanks to Manager Zhou's willingness to You owe me a deposit on credit. For this small gesture, please treat Manager Zhou to a cup of tea.”
Manager Zhou looked at Wu Tao, then he chuckled and took the broken spirit stone from Wu Tao’s hand: "You're a very sensible boy. It's not worth it for me to take such a big risk and lend you a deposit on credit."
Seeing that he accepted, Wu Tao was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Manager Zhou is a good person. ”
Manager Zhou put down the broken spirit stone and waved his hand: "Okay, I know the difficulties of your casual cultivators. You must first get rid of the evil spirit in your body. Only if you stay here for a long time can I live for a long time." Collect rent."
"Ah..." Wu Tao's face was startled, "Boss Zhou... Since you know that I am possessed by evil spirits, why are you still willing to rent the house to me? You are not afraid..."
< br> Manager Zhou chuckled: "Afraid it will turn into a haunted house? What are you afraid of? If you die, everything on you will be mine. Besides, the last guest of the room you live in died in it."
Seeing Wu Tao's frightened face, he smiled and said: "On the road to cultivating immortality, it is not normal to have disasters. Don't worry about the dangerous house or not. In this outer city in the west, there are a lot of casual cultivators who have broken through seclusion. , I just ran out of life and died in the room..."
"Okay, I still have a few streets where the rent has been confiscated, so I won't chat with you anymore."
Watching Steward Zhou's fat back go away, Wu Tao was in a daze for a while before coming back to his senses, patted Fu Mu's cheek, and said to himself: "Steward Zhou is right, people who cultivate immortality, why do you value this? . Besides, since Manager Zhou saw that I was possessed by evil spirits, he was still willing to rent me a house and give me credit. He was already kind to me.”
“Even if I die, Manager Zhou will take it from me. Net worth, that's...even if it's the burial expenses..."
Wu Tao muttered, came to Zhang Li's door, and knocked on the door.
Cang!
Opening the door, Zhang Li's face with the charm of a young woman appeared in front of him. He took out a low-grade spiritual stone from his arms, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Zhang Daoyou, I owe you the spiritual stone I owe you. ”
Zhang Li took a look at it, took the spirit stone, and said: "You are a trustworthy person. If you say you will pay it back in two days, you will pay it back in two days."
"That's right, Taoist friend Zhang can trust me, and I will naturally not let you down." Trust. But in general, I still have to thank Daoist Zhang for being willing to lend me the spiritual stone. Lend me the spiritual stone, which is equivalent to saving my life..."
Hearing this, Zhang Li said: "It's just a spiritual stone. It's not as serious as you said. Okay, let's not talk anymore. I have to practice."
"Then... Fellow Daoist Zhang, leave!" Wu Tao handed over his hands and watched Zhang Li close the door.
Wu Tao returned to his room, took out the bag of spiritual stones, and counted eighty-one broken spiritual stones. He couldn't help but sigh. How could he not take advantage of these spiritual stones? In one day, they were all broken. It's clean again.
"Life is too difficult!"
He sighed, thinking that he had become a first-level junior weapon refiner, and couldn't help but feel happy. He took out the spark stone and demon silk, and pounded the abacus in his heart.
“There are two refining materials here. As long as one robe is refined, fourteen low-grade spiritual stones will be collected. All of them will be used to refine the materials and two more robes will be refined. Just get twenty-eight pieces of low-grade spiritual stones..."
"Hahaha, more and more spiritual stones will accumulate, and life will become more and more promising..."
"Evil-breaking Talisman, It will be available soon..."
"By the way, after you get rid of the evil spirit in your body, go to the Wuquan Mountain Artifact Refining Hall to take the exam to get a certificate as an Weapon Refiner. With the certificate, people who want to bargain will have no excuses. Moreover, stall fees, transaction taxes All can be reduced or reduced..."
"I just don’t know if it is difficult to take the exam..."
After calculating, Wu Tao only felt that his life would get better and better in the future, and he was excited It was so weird that his mouth was grinning almost to the base of his ears.
