Fantasy: The empress was reincarnated as my daughter!

Chapter 188: Short-sighted idiot!

The shopkeeper told Su Linger about the auction in Wutong City.

It turns out that the mortal cities in the heaven are all connected to each other, and every year a city is selected as the venue for the auction.

Wutong City has the best security among many cities because there are strong men in the Holy King realm.

After all, most powerful monks are not very willing to have anything to do with mortals.

First, there is no benefit to be gained, after all, they are just mortals.

Second, getting involved in mortal affairs would too much delay their cultivation time.

There are only a few cultivators who still can't give up their greed for power. Even if they become powerful, they still want to be kings and hegemons.

In the eyes of the ascetics who are truly dedicated to seeking the Tao, such people are not doing their job properly. Even if they can become kings and saints now, the path of asceticism for such people has come to an end.

If you want to break through, you must calm down your mind. It is best to find a secluded fairy mountain to practice with concentration, so that you can one day break through to a higher realm.

Otherwise, we can only stop here.

But these people do not agree with this idea in their hearts.

They always feel that everything depends on man-made efforts.

If you are used to living a life where others are superior to others, you will naturally not be able to bear the unbearable loneliness of cultivating alone.

Therefore, they like to stay in a place with mortals and accept the fear and admiration of mortals.

There are also high-level strong men who sit in some cities.

Just like the Phoenix in the Saint King realm in Wutong City.

He was also the proud son of the Fire Phoenix clan in the past.

He has relied on family support since he was a child, and the elixirs and techniques have been closely used by him.

Being born in the Fire Phoenix Clan and in the Heaven Realm, the starting point is much higher than that of many cultivators.

But also because the starting line is too high, the entire level of cultivation is the result of the family pill technique.

It is difficult to improve after reaching the Holy King.

He also cannot let go of his noble status and is unwilling to suffer and endure hardships.

So he settled in Wutong City, took the position of city lord, and accepted the worship and admiration of mortals.

Relying on these spiritual stones and incense, I could barely improve my cultivation.

According to the innkeeper, it is only in the past few years that monks have to deliver spiritual stones when they enter the city.

There used to be no such rules.

Probably because the city lord has almost made all the good things of the Fire Phoenix clan, and he can't desperately squeeze out the little support from the mortals in the city.

The city lord once thought of squeezing the mortals in the city and increasing taxes by several percent.

Originally, he thought he could make a fortune.

In the first two months, the income was much more than usual, but the tax spiritual stones received later were less than before the increase in taxes, and then they became less and less.

The city lord realized that something was wrong and sent his subordinates to investigate, only to find that many people had left Wutong City with their families because they could not bear the oppression of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Some excuses were that they wanted to go out of town to visit relatives, some wanted to go out to study, some wanted to marry out of town, and some even just packed their bags and left secretly overnight without any reason at all.

Only then did the city lord realize that his oppression had caused the population loss of Wutong City and had caused great damage to his interests.

As a result, taxes were slowly lowered and many policies were issued.

The lost population slowly recovered.

The road to the mortal side was impassable, so the city lord turned his attention to the monks.

Generally, many ascetics who want to enter the mortal city come here with a purpose.

They have the need to enter the city, and they have spiritual stones with them, so the Phoenix City Lord can scrape some oil and water from them for his own cultivation.

But this is a drop in the bucket.

The city lord will try his best to hold the auction in his city every year, so that he can get more money.

The spirit stones obtained from the auction will be divided into 20% profit by the city holding the auction.

Including this time, Wutong City has already held seven auctions.

In addition to some treasures collected by mortals, there will also be some monks with low levels of cultivation who will exchange treasures that they cannot use for some spiritual stones.

Su Ling'er didn't understand many of the things the shopkeeper said, but she was willing to listen to the fun.

Su Changge heard it clearly and had some comments about the city lord in his heart.

"He's just a short-sighted idiot with little ability."

Strictly speaking, the Fire Phoenix clan also belongs to the monster beasts.

However, their bloodline is powerful and they are born with cultivation realm. They are a powerful existence that cannot be ignored among the monster beasts.

But this is not the case in Su Changge's There is nothing in his eyes.

Even Su Changge, one of the ten most ferocious beasts, can use them to prepare food and drinks with just a raise of his hand, let alone a mere fire phoenix.

Su Ling'er is a living being, and his origin is Fire Spirit.

Both belong to the fire element. Even if the Fire Phoenix City Lord is several levels higher than Su Ling'er, with Su Ling'er's own ability and the protective magic weapons in her storage space, it doesn't matter. Threat.

Since Su Ling'er wants to go to the auction to join in the fun, there is nothing wrong with it.

The shopkeeper finally gave Su Ling'er a few words, saying that big shots from other cities would also come here.

There would also be many ascetics present. , among them there are some powerful men such as kings and great saints.

As a little girl, Su Linger, it is better not to go to such a dangerous place.

After all, not all monks follow the right path.

There will always be some crooked things. , they most like to capture monks who are lower in level and weaker than them as cauldrons.

The shopkeeper knew when Su Ling'er took out the cakes from the storage space and ate them while listening to his speech that the little girl should also be a monk. He just looked too weak.

If he just went to a place surrounded by wolves, it would be a matter of whether he could all come out in one piece.

Su Ling'er still had a nonchalant attitude about this.

"Don't worry, uncle, it's all a trivial matter. There is no place in the three realms that I can't go to."

Seeing that Su Ling'er was so persistent and so certain, the shopkeeper probably had something to rely on.

So he sighed and told Su Ling'er when and where the auction would be held.
