"Buy?"
When He Pingsheng heard that word, he found it utterly absurd!
A lineage was something you could buy?
"You still don't know?" Lian Nihong looked at He Pingsheng and said, "It doesn't really matter for an ordinary little lineage, but if you want to develop into a lineage renowned throughout the Divine Realm, there's something you must have!"
"That's the [Household Founding Token] issued by the divine kingdom. A Household Founding Token is much like our individual identification badges!"
"With it, you can establish your own lineage with full legitimacy!"
"So the first step is to get a Household Founding Token!"
"It isn't cheap. Normally, applying through the divine kingdom or the City Lord's Manor costs at least fifty million divine gold!"
Lian Nihong explained the Household Founding Token.
He Pingsheng gained some understanding of the token.
In a word: taxation!
In the Divine Realm, lineages were ranked by stars.
The lowest was a two-star lineage.
Throughout the Divine Realm, any Divine Command Realm expert could apply for a Household Founding Token and establish a lineage. A lineage established this way was called a two-star lineage.
If a Divine Spirit Realm expert emerged within the lineage, its status would rise like a boat on a rising tide, making it a three-star lineage.
With a Divine Lord Realm expert, it was a four-star lineage.
And so on.
The current Lian Household, for instance, was a four-star lineage.
Lineages of different ranks paid different amounts of tax to the divine kingdom.
The higher the rank, the higher the basic tax.
Of course, you could also choose not to upgrade your lineage, thereby paying a little less in basic taxes.
But the basic tax was only one part of it. Besides that, there was another major expense: the lineage's operating tax.
