MM Racing Chapter 425
Chapter 425
Bai Yu rushed back to Zhenhai City, entered the hall, and bowed to everyone.
"Bai Yu greets all the teachers. I have already decided on the location for the city."
Everyone was a little surprised. They didn't expect Bai Yu to be able to choose a location so quickly.
Jia Ren secretly muttered, did this guy choose an island in a hurry?
But the general manager Qian Yankai showed a kind smile:
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I don't know which island you chose. Please mark it on this boundless sea map."
Bai Yu raised his hand and sent out a spiritual power, lighting up an island on the sea map:
"It is the poisonous fire island at the easternmost end."
Qian Yankai said:
"So it is this island, fellow Daoist Bai has good eyesight."
"This island is vast and located at the easternmost end. There is not much competition. It is a good place to go."
But he was thinking:
"Sure enough, he is a nerd. He actually chose such a broken island."
Jia Ren sneered again and again, feeling secretly happy.
He knew the Poison Fire Island very well, as it was the island he and several fellow Taoists had explored and demarcated.
There were three evils on the island: poisonous insects, volcanoes, and evil spirits, so it was privately designated as a Class C island.
"You are so stingy that you didn't even want to buy a precise sea chart worth one million, and ended up choosing a Class C island."
"You were reluctant to spend a mere one million, and chose a dead end, which will cost you more in the future."
Of course, these were all complaints in their minds, and both Qian Yankai and Jia Yi had a amiable look on their faces.
Bai Yu naturally didn't know what they were thinking, and just said:
"Teachers, I have already chosen the address for the city. Can I get the materials for the city?"
Qian Yankai smiled and shook his head, and handed Bai Yu a jade slip:
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Bai. Becoming the Lord of the Immortal City represents new rights and responsibilities. Please swear the Heart Demon Oath in the presence of all fellow Taoists."
Bai Yu glanced at it briefly, and it introduced many rights and obligations of the Lord of the Immortal City, as well as many taboos.
The first rule is that the first ten years are tax-free, and after ten years, 10% of the taxes must be paid to the Lixian League.
This is reasonable, after all, the Lixian League provides guidance and prepares materials for city construction.
Investments must be rewarded, and a 10% tax is not too heavy.
The second rule is that all immortal city lords are regarded as allies of the Great Li Kingdom.
They are not allowed to attack each other within three years, and they are not allowed to attack the main city within a hundred years.
If there are powerful enemies such as the demon race invading, they need to work together to fight the enemy to ensure that the human race has a foothold here.
…
There are hundreds of oaths in total.
And even the words of the oath are fixed. The price of violating the rules includes being regarded as a traitor by all immortal city lords and the Great Li Xiuxian world, being struck by lightning, and having a relapse of the inner demon, etc.
Bai Yu thought about it and confirmed that there was no trap and no loophole.
So he made the inner demon oath.
Seeing that he had finished his oath, Qian Yankai said:
"Very good, very good, Jia Ren, take Bai Daoyou to collect the cloud ship supplies."
Jia Ren smiled and led Bai Yu to a square in the city.
In the square, there were dozens of giant ships taller than mountains.
"Bai Daoyou, this is the cloud ship of the Immortal Alliance, which can transport a large number of supplies and personnel over long distances."
"On this cloud ship, there are 100,000 pioneering monks, as well as food, elixir, magic tools and other pioneering supplies, enough to start a fairy city."
"Each fairy city lord can be allocated a cloud ship."
Bai Yu nodded slightly.
It is not easy to open up the land and build a city. Naturally, a lot of resources must be invested in the early stage.
"Jia Daoyou, is this cloud ship selected at random?"
Jia Ren smiled:
"Of course not, do you see the absolute spirit turntable over there? Turn to whichever number, and choose which one."
Bai Yu heard this and didn't want to delay, so he prepared to go forward and turn the turntable directly.
However, Jia Ren stopped him and rubbed two fingers together.
"It's not easy for the Immortal Alliance to collect materials. Shouldn't Brother Bai show some respect?"
Bai Yu suddenly realized that this guy was asking for bribes.
There is no way to stop asking for bribes, even the Buddha can't control it!
Tang Monk went through 81 difficulties to reach the West Heaven, and at the end he had to bribe Ananda and Kasyapa to get the true scriptures.
The Immortal Alliance is naturally not very clean, and there are countless shady operations such as asking for bribes and reselling information.
If you don't want to bribe, you might do something small and ruin things.
Bai Yu is not a pedantic person. If it's just a small bribe, he will let him do it.
At worst, he can go to their ancestral graves to talk about it in the future.
So he asked:
"Fellow Daoist Jia, how many people do you need to show your affection?"
When Jia Ren saw Bai Yu coming up, he chuckled and said:
"Two thousand will do."
Bai Yu's heart immediately sank.
Jia Ren was talking about two thousand, not one yuan, but twenty million.
His entire fortune was only about thirty million.This is because he has been running Xiaolei Temple for many years and has a rich fortune.
Jia Ren asked for 20 million right away, and Bai Yu could never agree.
He asked tentatively:
"Fellow Daoist Jia, I am short of money and I am afraid I can't afford it. I wonder if you can reduce it a little."
Jia Ren's face turned cold and said:
"The teachers of the Lixian League, big and small, and the chief elder, have all contributed a lot. It's just 2,000. There won't be much left for everyone."
"20 million, not a penny less."
Bai Yu sighed, knowing that there was no room for negotiation.
He said helplessly:
"I have been promoted to Yuanying for too short a time. I can't even take out 10 million, let alone 20 million."
Jia Ren snorted coldly:
"If you are reluctant to spend a small amount of money, be careful of suffering a big loss in the future."
"The Lixian League is your future supporter. You will need us in the future."
"If you are unwilling to spend even this little money, I am afraid you can't drive this cloud ship away."
Bai Yu was annoyed and said:
"The previous oath of the Immortal League did not say that you have to spend money to choose the cloud ship."
"Besides, the materials of this cloud ship are not given for free. In the future, we in the Immortal City will have to pay one-tenth of the taxes in return."
"If Fellow Daoist Jia insists on making things difficult, I will ask other teachers to judge. I don't believe that there is no place in the Lixian League to reason."
Jia Ren was a little scared by Bai Yu's anger.
Bribery is an unspoken rule, which is something that cannot be brought to the table.
Some things, if not weighed, are not two taels, but weighed a thousand pounds.
If it really gets out of hand, Jia Ren will have to bear the consequences.
He was also angry in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face:
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I was just joking with you just now."
As he said, he walked to the central turntable and patted it, using a trick.
"Come on, Fellow Daoist Bai, please choose your cloud ship."
Bai Yu stepped forward and found that this turntable could block spiritual power and consciousness, so he could only choose by luck.
But at this time, there was no time to check too much.
He stretched out his hand to turn the turntable, and No. 35 came out.
Jia Ren pointed at the No. 35 cloud ship and laughed:
"Fellow Daoist Bai, this cloud ship belongs to you, I wish you a prosperous fairy city."
Bai Yu got on the cloud ship and checked it, and immediately felt that it was not good.
"Damn, I was tricked."
