Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 605 What a beastly design!
Seeing that Lü Yang was unyielding, the Mountain Moving team found themselves in an awkward position.

They really want to kill someone.

Stop joking! Fighting and killing is unbecoming of the people of Mengwei City. Even if no one dies, it's still bad to damage the flowers and plants.

Moreover, engaging in unauthorized combat will result in a fine.

It even needs to be recorded.

Now is the crucial time for the Outer Path Alliance to break through to the sixth level, and they cannot afford to have any criminal record. Compared to this matter, a True Monarch of the Outer Path is not important.

Therefore, in the blink of an eye, the Mountain-Moving Man's face was once again filled with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, you have misunderstood. Since you are unwilling to join our Outer Dao Alliance, we will not force you. It is fine if you do not sign this contract. Then you can sit here for a while and wait for the tax envoy to register your name."

With those words spoken, the Mountain Moving team had made its stance clear.

It was just a misunderstanding. Let's forgive each other with a laugh. I've forgiven you too. Don't be angry anymore. If you get angry again, that's not right of you.

There's no need to fight this person to the death.

'A righteous cultivator, utterly foolish, and only one person at that. It won't be long before he can't stay in Tianfu either, and will have to beg me for help.'

With that in mind, the Mountain-Moving Team decisively left.

Seeing this, the other six True Lords simply abandoned their composure. After all, although they were True Lords of the Heretical Path, they were still very busy and had to work overtime every day.

This is just a moment of leisure amidst a busy schedule.

If it works out, great; if not, there's no need to take action. After all, the medical expenses, overtime pay, and fines for unauthorized confrontations can all be substantial.

In an instant, the seven True Lords scattered like birds and beasts.

Strangely, they didn't seem worried that Lü Yang would cause trouble, and just let him stay in Mengwei City, even showing a hint of indulgence.

'That's really something.'

Seeing this, Lü Yang stroked his chin, realizing that the heretical True Lords like the Mountain Moving Master were hesitant to act, and he became even more curious about the internal system of the Heavenly Palace.

'To be able to accommodate heretical True Monarchs and even subdue them so well—I've only ever seen this in Jiangbei before. Otherwise, the five regions of the Immortal Pivot wouldn't only have heretical True Monarchs in Jiangbei. But the Heavenly Palace can also do this; could it really be related to the Holy Sect?'

Just as Lü Yang was pondering this.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, day turned into night, the moon hung high, and the moonlight cascaded down, condensing into a figure that landed in front of Lü Yang.

Lü Yang stared intently at it.

But the person was a woman of exceptional beauty, dressed in white robes and adorned with celestial feathers, holding a book in her hands.

"I am Chang Gui, a tax collector under the tutelage of the Immortal Lord."

The moment the newcomer appeared, she immediately bowed deeply to Lü Yang, her lips parted slightly, and she said softly, "Welcome, True Lord. May I ask your name and lineage?"

After speaking, the stunningly beautiful woman who had descended from the moon opened her beautiful eyes wide and stared intently at Lü Yang, as if she were pondering something. At the same time, Lü Yang also sensed an immense sense of crisis locking onto him, the source of which was the full moon hanging in the sky.

“The petty man is clever and agreeable.”

Lu Yang, with a solemn expression, returned the greeting and said, "Our lineage is called 'Imperial Decree,' but we are just wandering cultivators from beyond the heavens, not worth mentioning. I trouble you, celestial official, to descend to the mortal realm. May I ask what guidance you may offer?"

"You're too kind, True Lord."

The stunningly beautiful woman looked delicate and said softly, "I wouldn't call it guidance; I'm just following the orders of the Immortal Venerable that anyone from beyond the heavens must register upon entering this realm."

After saying that, she opened the book in her hand.

"Please leave a trace of your magical energy in the book, True Lord."

This time, Lü Yang did not hesitate. After all, this was clearly a rule of Tianfu, and he certainly could not escape it. Hesitation would only arouse suspicion.

With a flick of his finger, a burst of energy descended.

The next second, the corresponding words appeared on the book in the woman's hand: the two glittering gold characters "Ming He," which made the woman nod in satisfaction.

"Thank you for your cooperation, True Lord."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman gently touched the book, and a beam of light split off, transforming into a jade slip that landed in her palm. She then handed the jade slip to Lü Yang.
"From now on, this [Tianfu Tong] will be the True Lord's identity certificate in Tianfu. The True Lord's Immortal Register can also be directly recharged into the [Tianfu Tong]."

"In addition, since True Lord is now a cultivator of our Heavenly Palace, we need to settle the expenses incurred since True Lord entered the realm, including the cost of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the cost of sensing the power of heaven and earth, and the pressure that True Lord's position has on heaven and earth. The total is 36,000 heretical immortal talismans."

Lu Yang: “???”

What kind of expense is this?!
As if hearing Lü Yang's thoughts, the stunning woman said with practiced ease, "Yes, because the Heavenly Palace is the private property of the Immortal Venerable."

“Spiritual energy, mountains and rivers, sun and moon, every inch of space belongs to the Immortal Venerable.”

"It is only because the Celestial Venerable is compassionate and magnanimous, and has always been considerate of the lower cultivators, that he allows all living beings to live in the Heavenly Palace, charging only a certain symbolic fee."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Lü Yang had already thrown the ten million heretical immortal talismans that the Mountain Moving Sect had previously lent him.

"Take it from the inside."

"Thank you for your patronage."

The stunningly beautiful woman bowed respectfully, and then Lü Yang saw that a total of 36,000 heretical immortal talismans had been directly deducted from his [Tianfu Tong].

"May you have a pleasant cultivation in the Heavenly Palace, True Lord."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman's figure vanished from the spot like a light flickering on and off, disappearing along with the dark sky and the moon.

At the same time, Lü Yang looked at the [Tianfu Tong] in his hand.

As his divine sense entered into it, a large amount of information emerged, which appeared as books arranged before Lü Yang's eyes:
[Tianfu General Knowledge]

[Nine-Layer Human Geography Overview]

[Detailed Explanation of the History of Tianfu]

[The Essential Taoist Techniques for Outer Path True Lords: The Method of Immortal Talisman Refinement]

With a dazzling array of books, Lü Yang had no doubt that once he finished reading them all, Tianfu would no longer be a mystery to him, except for one small problem—

They all need money.

The lowest price is one million Unorthodox Immortal Talismans, highlighting its precise targeting of users, specifically designed to rip off newcomers from out of town.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang's expression grew even more unpleasant.

"As a True Lord, I have the right to mint coins in the Heavenly Palace and can refine my own Immortal Talismans. The problem is, I don't know the method for refining Immortal Talismans."

What? Tianfu Tong offers this service?

[The Essential Taoist Techniques for Outer Path True Lords: The Method of Immortal Talisman Refinement]

[Price: 100 million Unorthodox Immortal Scrolls]

A vicious cycle: I don't have the method to refine immortal talismans, so I'll just buy one; I don't have immortal talismans to buy, so I'll just refine one; I don't have the method to refine immortal talismans.
How can we crack it?
It's very simple: lending.

【Tianfu Tong】provides each heretical True Lord with a generous reserve fund for Immortal Registers, and the annual interest rate is a very reasonable 36%.

"So, before I've even learned the method of refining immortal talismans, I'm already 100 million in debt."

'But I absolutely must learn this method of refining immortal talismans, because as long as I'm still in the Heavenly Palace, I have to pay rent to the Taiyin Immortal Venerable. How can I pay it if I don't have the money?'

Not paying? Refusing to pay?
Judging from the reactions of the people who moved the mountain, and the grand entrance of that "celestial tax official," being a deadbeat is definitely not a reliable choice.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang was utterly astonished.

It's practically a meticulously crafted trap, specifically designed to capture heretical celestial beings, and it catches them every time. What a monstrous design!
I like!
Although he was tricked so soon after arriving in Tianfu, Lü Yang felt no anger. Instead, his eyes brightened as he discovered the key to the matter:
"Rules. This place has rules!"

The so-called Great Dao Immortal Scroll is, in essence, money, and a system built on money dictates that most people must act in accordance with the rules of the system.

In other words:
'There shouldn't be any late-stage Golden Core cultivators ambushing early-stage Golden Core cultivators here. To me, it's an untapped blue ocean!'

　It's already past midnight today.
