Chapter 32: Paying public grain

...

Chen Mo and Helian Huowu made an appointment to collect public food.

The journey was not far, and the two arrived quickly, and they were not blushing and breathless. According to the clan rules, a rated tax of 30 kilograms of low-grade spiritual rice per acre of spiritual fields was paid. The ancient traditions and rules were considered natural. Without the protection of the clan, who could produce steadily?

When he came to the Lingmi Tax Collection Office in the center of the town, a middle-aged deacon, who was about forty years old and slightly fat, was in charge of the overall tax collection. Because of the large number of people, he opened seven or eight stalls to collect. Chen Mo took Helian Huowu and randomly selected a place to queue up to pay taxes. After half a stick of incense, he paid this year's Lingmi. After collecting the tax certificate, Chen Mo paid another forty kilograms of low-grade Lingmi.

The extra spiritual rice is of course to obtain the family contribution value. The slightly fat deacon said with a smile: "Chen Mo, right? You have a total of 40 points of contribution. If you take these brands, your name is engraved on it. Even if you lose it, you can't use it."

After packing up the contribution sign, Chen Mo and the others entered the family pharmacy shop. This is a pharmacy shop opened by the Chen clan in the town and is open to both inside and outside. For the family children, contributions can be used to exchange for various medicinal materials or finished elixirs.

Of course, if you don’t make enough contributions, you can also buy them with gold. However, in the family, in order to encourage internal members to be loyal and feel of belonging to the family, it is obviously much more cost-effective to buy them with contribution values.

Moreover, some of the shortage or high-end elixirs are limited to the family's children who use contributions to exchange.

In addition to being able to exchange elixirs and elixirs, contributions have many functions. For example, learning skills and mysterious skills owned by a certain family. Or asking a master of mysterious skills to teach and guide his own mysterious skills. Even if the contribution value is huge enough, you can apply for the position of the clan leader when he is full of his responsibilities.

Chen Mo and Helian Huowu also discussed the contribution. Both of them have not lacked mysterious skills for the time being. As the saying goes, they can't eat too much. Instead of spending their contributions to exchange for some ordinary martial arts and mysterious skills, it is better to practice hard, polish carefully, and practice to a higher level in the original mysterious skills.

Only by consolidating the foundation can you practice high-level mysterious skills and exert your power with twice the effort. On the contrary, both of them are now promoted to the middle level of the Spiritual Enlightenment. What is more important now is to break through to the high level of the Spiritual Enlightenment as soon as possible to lay a solid foundation for the final breakthrough to the Spiritual Enlightenment.

The "Little Spirit Gathering Pill" is a very suitable elixir for spiritual disciples to take. It belongs to the auxiliary cultivation category. It is sold to the public for ten taels of gold, and can be exchanged for three contribution points.

As a bloodline of the Chen clan, Chen Mo can receive a "small spirit gathering pill" for free every month, two taels of gold, some ordinary pills to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and three teaching guidance.

Unfortunately, Chen Mo failed to break through to the middle level of the Spiritual Pupil for two years. He was rated as under-qualified and the support of these families was cancelled. This caused even worse trouble for his cultivation.

Helian Huowu is an adopted daughter who does not enter the ancestral hall. Her treatment is equivalent to a disciple of a foreign surname, and her support is reduced by half. Even so, she will squeeze out half of the pitiful resources to support Chen Mo. Although Chen Mo did not mention these, she kept silently in her heart.

Being poor in literature and wealthy in martial arts, cultivation is an extremely costly matter. Chen Mo is not aggrieved by the family, and no family can waste so many resources on a person with no future in vain. Now that he has sufficient contributions, Chen Mo exchanged ten small spirit gathering pills in one breath, and five of them with Helian Huowu. It was packed in a jade bottle, heavy and joyful.

"Second brother. I don't want that many, I just need two..." When the two were 'dividing the spoils' in the corner of the medicine shop, Helian Huowu hurriedly waved his hand and pushed it: "I don't like practicing with elixirs very much."

Chen Mo didn't know what she wanted? He said seriously: "Wu'er, listen, in three months, it will be the annual tribe competition. We brothers and sisters must shine in this competition. You have good qualifications, and if you work hard, you may reach the advanced level of the spiritual disciple. At that time, at the age of thirteen, you will be among the top ten in the tribe competition. You will definitely be judged as a genius disciple by the clan. After being trained by the clan, you will be able to obtain a lot of resources every month."

"But, second brother, you want it too..." Helian Huowu said hesitantly.

"Don't worry, in three months, the second brother will definitely enter the top ten in the clan." Chen Mo said confidently: "I will double the resources and honors I have lost. Wu'er is obedient, and we both enter the top ten." With his age as he is, if he enters the top ten, he can be rated as an elite disciple. The monthly resources he receives are twice as many as ordinary blood disciples.

His calm and confident look made Helian Huowu's eyes surge, and he believed without hesitation and nodded obediently.

"Saying shameless!" A sarcastic voice sounded behind the two of them.

Chen Mo turned around and saw the visitor, and suddenly felt aroused in his heart, but he still calmly stopped and looked at the visitor. Seeing the person talking, he was wearing brocade clothes and a few dog legs behind him, as if he was sixteen or seventeen years old, full of anger.

Before he arrived by Chen Mo, he continued: "If even a useless person can be divided into the top ten, wouldn't it be laughed at by outsiders?" There was something obvious in the words, sarcastic and sharp.

After listening to the follower, he also laughed loudly, completely ignoring Chen Mo's feelings.

"Cousin Chen Hui, please be more respectful to avoid being hurt by the harmony." Helian Huowu took two steps forward, raised her chin, and stared at the man who said.

Chen Hui was Chen Ye's cousin. They were usually close to each other, but Chen Ye never came back since entering the small cave heaven. It was rumored that the two had an excessive fight before the cave entrance was closed, but they didn't know how Chen Ye died at all.

He would never have thought that Chen Mo would kill Chen Ye. But after all, it was because of the two of them that they missed the opportunity, so their disgust for Chen Mo also increased a lot, and it could even be said to be hatred.

"Sister Huo Wu, it's quite reasonable to enter the top ten with your qualifications and strength. But can this waste be more delusional?" Chen Hui looked at Chen Mo with a contemptuous look, and the meaning in his words was revealed.

Chen Mo was originally a human being for two lives, and after several life and death in the small cave heaven, the ups and downs. His mood became much more mature. How could Chen Hui, a clown-like provocation, cause any ripple in his heart, and said calmly: "Wu'er, we go to the market, and we don't need to worry about such people."

He took Helian Huowu and turned around and walked out.

When Chen Hui saw such a waste, he dared to ignore him. He was furious and took the lead: "Where is the waste going?"

I saw his five fingers condense into a light green empty claw shadow, and he grabbed Chen Mo's shoulder with awesome momentum. It was a move of eagle claws. Judging from the degree of his eagle claws, he still put in a lot of effort to reach the point of first glimpse of the way.

If he was caught firmly, Chen Mo would have a few more blood holes on his shoulders.

"Second brother, be careful." Helian Huo Wu shouted a little, and just wanted to resist, but Chen Mo protected him behind him.

Chen Mo's eyebrows were raised, his feet moved back and his toes were drawn on the ground, like a willow catkins fluttering, avoiding the claws filled with energy. His eyes were cold and calm.

Before Chen Hui could react, he stomped his right foot with a strong force, and the bluestone floor exploded with a loud bang, and an invisible wave made the ground tremble. Chen Hui's feet shaking one after another, and the pile frame was broken and there was no root under his feet.

At the same time, Chen Mo's shoulders, which were like a hammer, arrived as promised. Chen Hui had only time to block his arms, but because he had no roots under his feet, he ran away like a broken sack.

His back hit the counter hard, and in an instant, the counter burst, broken wood flew around, and blood was irresistible from his mouth.

Everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, Chen Mo, who had always been known as a waste, was so powerful and domineering. He beat him so strongly and domineeringly in one move. Illusion, this must be an illusion. It must be Chen Hui's carelessness and was attacked by Chen Mo.

"I'm a waste, then what are you?" Chen Mo said calmly.

"You!" Chen Huiyu jumped up, his face flushed red, and became angry and rushed towards Chen Mo again, condescending toward him, like an eagle rushing to the rabbit. In an instant, seven or eight blue claw shadows flew out, covering Chen Mo.

Chen Mo carried his hands on his back, his face calm, and his body swayed continuously in the narrow space like willow catkins fluttering in the wind. He allowed those claws to pass by his blue shirt.

Such a scene was thrilling, but it made everyone understand that it was not Chen Hui's carelessness, but Chen Mo suddenly became powerful. Look at his body, his agile and elegant body, and he clearly grasped a trace of artistic conception.

When Chen Hui was fooled by someone as a monkey, he couldn't get out of the stage. His face was ferocious and fierce. He was about to use a fierce move to kill Chen Mo and save some face.

A deep shout appeared: "Chen Hui, have you made enough trouble?"

There seemed to be a trace of magic in the voice. Chen Hui stopped his movements all at once, turned around and showed a flattering smile: "Young Master, why are you here?"

I saw the visitor carrying his hands on his back, his face was white, his head was black and his head was not messy, he was wearing a brocade and jade robe, and a face that could not tell his thoughts. He was clearly a handsome man. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and judging from his quality and clothing, he must be a rich child. However, he did not have the arrogant and domineering arrogance on his body, but instead showed a lot of decency, which made people look good and feel good.

The person who came was Chen Xuan, the son of the chief of the Chen family. He had reached the peak of the spiritual disciple's advanced level at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and was only one step away from the spiritual master.

Chen Xuan ignored his favor and turned to Chen Mo. Of course, he knew that with Chen Mo's strength, he would be more than enough to kill Chen Hui, who had insufficient combat experience.

Then, he fell on Helian Huowu, and a trace of light appeared in his black eyes.

Carrying his hands on his back, he turned around and scolded Chen Hui, "Chen Hui, you are not young anymore. I wonder if you are a taboo in the family industry? If you have the strength, it is better to go home and practice well. If you want to fight, the tribe will be better than you to fight in three months."
