Tao and Heaven

Chapter 82: Fire Dragon Burns the Warehouse
"We only have one hour, so we have to hurry, otherwise we might attract the guardians of a certain sect."

This was obviously the first time Murong Suyue had done such a thing. She looked a little nervous, and her huge body of two meters and five inches became extremely light when she walked.

"That's enough. At worst we can eat and take it at the same time."

Gu Wen was very confident in his ability to eat spiritual creatures.

He walked in front. The architectural planning of the imperial court was similar. The layout of the Luoshui Taifu Division was not much different from that of Bianjing. The first room after entering the inner courtyard was where the account books were stored.

An official was dozing off. After being slapped awake, he obediently took out the account book, and then he was tied up and thrown into a corner.

Pushing open the door of the warehouse, you will see all kinds of goods piled up like mountains. Unlike the neatly arranged layout of Bianjing, it is like a wholesale market.

"There's no sorting." He Huan was a little speechless, "It would be strange if things don't get damaged if they're piled like this."

"Something has to break down, and when it breaks down there is loss, and when there is loss, then you can enrich yourself. Otherwise, with the few people in the court, how can we possibly support the officials?"

Gu Wen was used to it. Daqian had a bad habit of liking to be honest.

Its integrity lies only in requiring officials to be honest and in constantly reducing their food and salaries.

Although the food and salary were enough for them to live a rich life, they thought that they had studied hard for ten years and did not want to live a penniless life, so they all went out to make money.

Especially in today's situation, if you are not greedy, you may starve.

Following the area marked in the account book, they came to the only two small rooms, one containing official silver and the other containing elixir, both locked with a thick iron door.

Just when Gu Wen was about to use his spear to break it open, Murong Suyue at the side had already pried it open with her hands, and her strength made him feel ashamed.

I can only say that he is worthy of being a weapon refiner and blacksmith.

Murong Suyue pushed open the iron gate, and what came into view was a scene of gold and silver, ten large boxes filled with silver and half a box of gold.

The three of them were stunned.

"Get rich!"

He Huan couldn't help but exclaim.

This Daqian silver and gold is also useful to their monks, especially those who run local forces like Daqian. You can't just rely on beatings, scolding and threats to control the common people under your command, right?
High-grade elixirs can be exchanged for goods, while low-grade elixirs can be purchased with silver and gold.

Gu Wen glanced at the account book and breathed harder: "Here are the commercial taxes of Luoshui in the last three months, 10,000 taels of gold and 400,000 taels of silver."

The gold in Daqian is fifteen times the amount of silver. Ten thousand taels is equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of silver, which totals to five hundred thousand taels of silver.

Five hundred taels for a pot of spiritual wine, this is a thousand years of heavenly essence!

Luoshui was a huge commercial city, with taxes starting at one million taels each year. The city was guarded by a hundred thousand troops, and a troop of a thousand men was permanently stationed outside the Taifu Division.

But they, mortals, cannot defend against cultivators. Gu Wen and his men flew in directly, so asking them to guard the place was a bit too much.

As expected, I still have to find a way to sit in that bird seat!

Gu Wen suppressed his excitement and said, "Take all the gold and don't worry about the rest."

There were at least twenty tons of gold and silver, and they might not be able to move them all even if they were given a day.

"Oh oh." Murong Suyue was a little confused. She kept putting gold into the Qiankun bag, and a smile gradually appeared on her beautiful face.

The huge amount of money shocked her mind, and for the first time, Miss Murong felt what it meant to get a gold belt for murder and arson.

The second room was opened by Miss Murong, who was still as strong and powerful as a mountain. The iron door slowly opened and it was empty inside.

"Ok?"

Gu Wen's eyes narrowed.

He lowered his head to glance at the account book. It was clear that all the elixirs in it were measured by kilograms, and the thing called Earth Medicine Pearl weighed eight hundred kilograms.

Where is the Taoist's elixir? !
"Where's the elixir?"

He Huan was getting a little anxious. He had been squatting there for several days and even asked Murong Suyue to make a special tool to break the formation.

"I clearly heard that there was a bumper harvest of medicinal beads recently, at least over a thousand kilograms. According to the rules, each family needs to give 30% to the court, but how come there is not a single hair here?" A slight smell of burning suddenly came.

Turning around, I saw that the Taifusi outside the warehouse was already engulfed in flames.

Gu Wen looked unhappy. He felt something was wrong and said, "Take the money first."

The three of them turned around and rushed into the room where the silver had just been stored, frantically putting the silver into their Qiankun bags. In just half an incense stick of time, they felt more than a dozen auras rushing towards this place.

"Walk."

Gu Wen immediately gave the order, and then said to Murong Suyue: "Give me the best gun, not the long halberd you had before."

Start with a top-grade common weapon.

When I came outside, I saw an old man who seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He was at the sixth level of Taoism.

"You guys take the money and you will bear the blame for the court."

"Are you plotting against us?"

He Huan reacted immediately and sent a message to Gu Wen: "Brother Hongchen, I miscalculated. These Luoshui families have no intention of handing them over to the court. Now they are planning to use us as a scapegoat."

Gu Wen took two steps forward, covered his face, and said in a low voice, "Give me a hundred kilograms of spiritual objects, and I can carry it."

He even killed the prince, so he was not afraid of adding more to Daqian's fortune, but this benefit was far from enough. Silver and gold could not be transformed into spiritual objects in a short period of time, and their families had taken thousands of kilograms of spiritual objects, so it was not too much to give him one-tenth of the blame.

Gu Wen has always been very sensible.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help laughing and said, "Which sect are you from, little brat who is so arrogant?"

He didn't recognize me, and it wasn't targeting us. Anyone who comes here today will have mud dripping from their crotch.

With this thought in mind, Gu Wen took a step forward, and the air wave swept up the surrounding fire. The old man had been prepared, but it was too late. If a person is six feet tall, he will die.

The red dragon's Dharma image enveloped the opponent, and in the silent killing calamity, only a hint of red light was seen.

Pfft!

The spear pierced through his body, and the blood from the old man's mouth was instantly sucked away by the Red Dragon Dharma Image, and the spear's energy became slightly more solidified.

The sixth level of Taoism is on the same level as me, so you are not worthy to stand in front of me.

Gu Wen pulled out his spear and flicked it gently. The last trace of blood was sucked out, leaving only a dried corpse.

He Huan and Murong Suyue behind him swallowed their saliva slightly. After all, this man was a strong man of the sixth level of Dao foundation, how could he die so easily?
Gu Wen sensed that there were several auras approaching. He didn't have time to touch the corpse, so he picked it up and ran out.

The three of them fled the scene, using He Huan's talismans to completely conceal their figures along the way.

They were in an empty alley, and after making sure that no one was chasing them, they began to count their spoils.

A total of 10,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver, totaling 250,000 taels of silver.

There is also the corpse of a sixth-level Taoist master.

He Huan laughed and said, "It's not a loss actually. Brother Hongchen, you can just take 60% and 10,000 taels of gold, and Murong and I will each get 50,000 taels."

"Fifty thousand taels, and I won't have to worry about money from now on."

Murong Suyue was smiling happily. If she didn't have a muscular body, she would be a beautiful and gentle woman.

But Gu Wen looked slightly cold, took out the account book of the warehouse, and said: “Eight hundred kilograms of earth medicine beads, we just take this yellow and white thing?
Ten thousand taels of gold, when converted into spiritual wine, equal three hundred Heavenly Marrows, which is enough to reach the fourth level of Dao Foundation.

But are there really so many spirit wines? Once you purchase a large amount of something, it will inevitably lead to a price increase in a short period of time, not to mention that these things are monopoly goods.

Daoye's Earth Medicine Beads! They took 800 kilograms, but you won't give me 500 kilograms?

　I went to the dentist today and haven't typed for a while. I'll see if I can add another picture.
