Xu Zhen has lived for a long time, so he naturally knows what Yue Liuying means.
Enduring his heartache, he took out a bead that shone with electricity. The bead was surrounded by true immortal laws.
"Miss, this is a True Immortal Thunderbolt Origin. Please accept it and heal the young master's injuries."
True Immortal Origin embodies the True Immortal's profound understanding and supreme understanding of Immortal Dao Law over countless years. It not only contains the vast sea of immortal power, but also carries the insight and mastery of the truth of immortality.
If you want to get the true immortal Origin, you must kill the true immortal. If you want to kill the true immortal and get such a complete Origin, you can imagine how difficult it is.
With this Origin, even ordinary people in the mortal world with no cultivation can, under its mysterious and powerful influence, open the door to the path of immortality, stimulate their body's potential to the fullest, and advance their cultivation by leaps and bounds.
Of course, this is only the most basic function. The value of Origin is far more than this.
In the hands of a forging immortal master, it can become the supreme material for forging immortal weapons. In the hands of Alchemy Master, it can be combined with other rare spiritual herbs and sacred trees to refine into the peerless Immortal Medicine...
Its value is so huge that it can cause powerful people at the level of immortals to rush for it, and even real immortals are willing to take action to save face.
Yue Liuying waved his hand gently without any courtesy, and the thunderbolt Origin flew out of Xu Zhen's hand and landed in front of Jiang Ping An.
"Peace, take it."
"This is too expensive..."
"Why should I be so polite to your mother?"
Yue Liuying doesn't care about this thing. As the daughter of Realm Lord, she has never seen any good things.
This Origin is not the same as the immortal power she has comprehended, so it is useless to keep it.
Jiang Ping An Remember this kindness and put away this precious true fairy Origin.
This Origin contains the terrifying Thunder Immortal Way. You can give it to Meng Jing later, which will increase the speed of Meng Jing's cultivation.
Yue Liuying tapped the table with slender white fingers, and Youyou said, "General Xu, you should know the purpose of my coming here this time."
Xu Zhen responded humbly, "Miss, I don't know, please make it clear."
Based on his experience of living for so long, he has actually guessed about seventy-seven or eighty-eight.
"It's quite pretending. Great Barren Continent hasn't paid taxes to the higher-ups for many years. You know very well where those taxes have gone."
"What an injustice!"
Xu Zhen looked aggrieved and heartbroken, "Miss, you are not unaware of the Great Barren Continent's situation. It is the poorest continent in Nine Heavens World."
"The taxes we usually collect can barely cover the expenses of the troops and local immortal officials, and are even somewhat insufficient. We can only find ways to make money ourselves. How can we embezzle taxes?"
"If you don't believe me, Miss, you can check the accounts. All taxes are recorded."
Since they dare to embezzle taxes, they must have prepared false accounts with almost no loopholes.
Even if there are loopholes, it will be difficult to detect them after a long time.
It is almost impossible to go back and eliminate some useless insiders to find out the problems in the accounts.
Yue Liuying sneered, "Although Great Barren Continent is poor, the Gilded Sand Mine it produces is very famous throughout the Immortal Realm. This income alone is enough to support various expenditures. It is impossible not to have excess taxes."
Jiang Ping An's expression moved slightly. It turns out that the famous [Gold Sand] was produced by the Great Barren Continent.
This is a fairy material that is highly sought after by weapon refiners. Because of its strong resistance to high temperatures and resistance to wear and tear, it is often used as a fairy material in forging furnaces or other high-temperature situations.
However, due to its poor toughness, it is not suitable for making combat-type fairy weapons and is easily broken unless neutralized by other Immortal Material.
Xu Zhen seemed to have known that Yue Liuying would mention [Gold Sand], and responded without any hesitation:
"Miss, you don't know something. Gold Sand was produced in the vast desert in the hinterland of the wilderness. The environment there is extremely harsh, with yellow sand all over the sky and no sunlight."
"What's even more terrifying is that there are countless ferocious monsters living inside. They are either hiding under the quicksand or soaring in the sky, forming insurmountable life and death barriers."
"Especially Wind-Spitting Beast. This group has expanded rapidly over the years. They are able to breathe out strong winds with terrifying power. These winds cannot peel off the flesh and blood of immortals, and can even destroy the bones of immortals. Not long ago, a powerful man of the immortal level accidentally fell in the endless storm."
"Because of this, the mining work of Gold Sand has become extremely difficult. Every time you go deep into the desert, it is tantamount to stepping on the edge of life and death. The mining team must always be wary of the monsters lurking in the dark. This greatly increases the difficulty and cost of mining, causing the output of Gold Sand to drop sharply."
"I, Xu Family, have been based on honesty and integrity for generations. We have always taken no money from taxes and paid them truthfully. I have no intention of pocketing the taxes, and I don't even bother to do such dirty things. All our efforts are to protect the peace and prosperity of this land. I hope that Miss will understand everything and give me, Xu Family, a clean slate!"
Xu Zhen's eyes were firm and sincere, as if every word he said was as important as a thousand stones and had a strong impact.
Seeing how sincere he was, Yue Liuying even wondered if he had misunderstood him.
Yue Liuying looked much more relaxed, "We'll talk about this later. Let's talk about another important thing now."
"I came here this time mainly to announce one thing. My father has appointed my son Jiang Ping An as the leader of the Great Barren Continent. Peace, please take out Command Token."
Being called his son by Yue Liuying, Jiang Ping An always feels awkward, but he can't refute it in front of outsiders.
He took out the Command Token that Yue Jiuxiao gave him.
This piece of Command Token is made of Black Dragon Steel. It is completely black and very heavy. It has an identification number Immortal Rune on it, which cannot be faked.
On the front of Command Token, there are five characters engraved: Great Barren Continent Zhouzhu.
Seeing this Command Token, Xu Zhen's expression changed slightly.
The last continent leader was squeezed out by the Xu Family and Chu Clan because this place was desolate and no one had ever come here. They Xu Family and Chu Clan lived very comfortably, but they didn't expect another continent leader to be sent.
Realm Lord Why would you send your grandson to such a desolate place?
Moreover, why is this person named Jiang? When did this woman find a man and give birth to a son?
"Greetings to the lord of the continent."
At this moment, Xu Zhen did not have the arrogance of a true immortal level powerhouse at all. He cupped his fists and saluted Jiang Ping An with great respect.
Although this person is only a human immortal, his background is Nine Heavens World Realm Lord's grandson. He, a true immortal, is nothing in front of such powerful people.
Others also saluted quickly.
"Greetings to the Lord of the Continent!"
Dou Hong, Xu Chenge and others were so frightened that they trembled. They did not expect that they would offend such a person.
Yue Liuying waved his hand, "Go and wait at the door, we still have to eat."
"Yes, miss."
Xu Zhen saluted again, turned around and walked out of the box. The others followed and stood quietly outside the door.
The restaurant was extremely silent.
Most of the people in the restaurant were not very cultivated and had strong hearing. The conversation in the private room was not deliberately blocked, and many people heard it.
I never expected that the daughter of Realm Lord would appear here, and Great Barren Continent also ushered in a new continent master.
Yue Liuying ordered a few more expensive dishes, but it was not her turn to pay for this meal anyway.
"After dinner, you go back with them. I have to leave for a while."
Yue Liuying sent a message to Jiang Ping An.
"Where are Liuying Jie going?" The chopsticks in Jiang Ping An's hands paused.
"Go to the center of the desert and see with your own eyes the situation there. I suspect that old guy Xu Zhen has something to hide."
If Yue Liuying doesn't completely believe Xu Zhen's words, he is going to investigate it himself.
Gold Sand is the main source of income for the Great Barren Continent. If something happens there, it will indeed lead to a sharp drop in income.
Outside the door, Xu Zhen's mouth moved slightly.
Want to check? There are no doors.
His other body, Avatar, has already notified him and started to eliminate some knowledgeable and unimportant people.
There is absolutely no way this woman can find any loopholes.
