Take this Tianyuan Pill as an example. Although it is only a healing elixir, it also has a certain effect on consolidating the foundation and polishing the purity of spiritual power.

After finishing speaking, Wu Tao threw the Tianyuan Pill in his hand to Zhang Heng and said with a smile: "I gave it to you, take it!"

…

Zhang Heng never expected that Wu Tao's behavior was so heroic, so he hurriedly took the Tianyuan Pill.

Before he could say thank you, he heard Wu Tao's words.

…

"You are the magistrate of Tianshui County. There are millions of people in Tianshui County who obey your orders. Some ordinary spiritual herbs and elixirs are just a matter of your words..."

"I won't talk nonsense. You are responsible for the spiritual herbs and elixirs, and I will provide the elixirs you need in the future. This is a deal that is beneficial to both you and me. Do you agree?"

Wu Tao didn't talk nonsense and asked straight to the point.

…

When Zhang Heng heard this, he fainted with joy.

How could he not agree?

…

Next, Zhang Heng and Wu Tao decided on this matter with each other.

After that, Zhang Heng presented the gift he had prepared with respectful hands.

The old butler, Uncle Huang, also knew what was going on, and secretly made up his mind to help his little master collect a large number of spiritual herbs and elixirs.

He has his own approach to this matter.

For example, when collecting taxes from the common people, a spiritual herb or elixir can reduce 30% of the year's silver quota, or cancel this year's labor service.

Through such upright official means, ordinary mortals can travel across mountains and rivers, without fear of life and death, to cliffs, cliffs, Gobis, deep mountains and other places where people rarely see traces, to search for spiritual herbs and elixirs.

The old housekeeper, Uncle Huang, has been with the Zhang family for many years and is well-informed.

He could see how profound Wu Tao's realm was.

…

As an official in other places, it is an opportunity for my little master to meet such an expert in a small place like Tianshui County.

To put it bluntly, if you go to a prosperous county or an important city in the Chu region, an alchemist of Wu Tao's level will not even bother to associate with a dandy like his little master.

Any successful alchemist will be treated as a distinguished guest when he comes to aristocratic families or even sects. That status and status are definitely leveraged.

…

Huang Bo guessed that this expert might have offended someone or suffered some injury, so he settled in Tianshui County.

…

On the other side, although Wu Tao didn't know, Uncle Huang, an old fox, had made a pretty good guess about his situation.

…

However, Wu Tao had not only few monks in Tianshui County, but most of them were frogs in the well. They had never seen much of the big world in their lives and were at a low level. As a result, Wu Tao's understanding of the world of immortal cultivation in Zizhou was ultimately very deficient.

This time, I finally met a disciple from an aristocratic family who knew something about the upper echelons of the world of immortality...

Moreover, he was the nominal owner of Tianshui County, so Wu Tao was willing to chat with him and learn more about the world of immortality in Zizhou.

…

Surprised, Zhang Heng was not wary of Wu Tao at all. He just said whatever he knew, without any vigilance.

…

"The methods practiced by our famous family are all passed down from our ancestors. Because they are never passed on to outsiders, they are called family studies and also called world classics."

"I, the Zhang family of Yaojun, have inherited the Taoism of my ancestor Zhang Xianguang. When the first Immortal Emperor of the Liu family established the Jin Kingdom, our ancestor Zhang Xianguang made great contributions, so the Zhang family became a famous family."

"The same goes for other aristocratic families. Most of them came from the enfeoffment at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China."

"Today, the aristocratic families of the Jin Dynasty are either inherited from the beginning of the founding of the country, or they are rising stars who have emerged later. In short, the aristocratic families are divided into six levels."

The top top family must have a Zifu period monk in the family, who can lead many aristocratic families to fight against the imperial power, and is called the Throne Family.

The Throne Family generally controls several large domains, just like a country in China. The orders of the Jin Dynasty royal family basically have no meaning in the sphere of influence of such families, just like vassal states.

Slightly less important are the first-class families, which also need to have monks who are in the late Nascent Soul stage to be in charge.

First-class families can basically control a large area, just like the feudal history, although they dare not oppose the imperial power in name.

However, he has always acted in both positive and negative ways and rarely obeyed the royal family's orders. He has a certain degree of autonomy and a great degree of freedom.

…

Next are the second-class families.

Among the second-class families, there must be monks in the mid-Nascent Soul stage who are in charge. Otherwise, they will not be able to intimidate the younger generation, and they will not be able to defend the ancestral land of a county.

Such a family, the head of a domain, can control them if they act in a more forceful manner.

Although third-class families cannot long-term own a county that belongs to their own family as their ancestral land, they still have their own territory.

However, if you want to maintain a third-class family, you need at least a monk at the early stage of Nascent Soul Stage to keep your position.

Moreover, the leader of a domain has greater restrictions on them.

…

The fourth-class families further down are not so particular. Monks in the late, middle, or early Dan Formation Stage can maintain the situation.

However, families below the third-class family, let alone the royal family and the Prime Minister of the region, generally cannot even fight the head of a county.

They need to abide by the orders issued by the county government as long as they do not violate their bottom line.

…

Finally, there are the fifth-class families.

The fifth-class families are the lowest families. Even the seventh-rank county magistrates of the Jin Kingdom can deal with them. Compared with ordinary local tycoons, their ancestors just have one more prominent ancestor.

"When my Zhang family was at its most prominent, it was the Throne Family, a top-notch family."

"The ancestor of Zhongxing, Zhang Dao, became a noble man in the Purple Mansion. It is a pity that the descendants are not filial, and the family's rank has been degraded again and again."

Wu Tao couldn't help but be very moved when he heard about the vast family history that had been passed down for tens of millions of years to the present day, and when he heard that there had been monks from the Zifu period in the Zhang family.

I saw Wu Tao say this: "Oh, to have a monk from the Zifu period, your Zhang family's background is really profound?"

Zhang Heng, who was originally looking proud, said with a wry smile after hearing these words: "That was all hundreds of thousands of years ago. Today's Zhang family is neither good nor bad, which is very embarrassing!"

"Our Zhang family now only has three Nascent Soul stage monks. One is my grandfather, the head of the family in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and the other two are uncles of the same generation..."

It turns out that after the Immortal Emperor Liu Haotian wiped out all the major sects, his family and followers gained the greatest benefits.

His family has since become the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, and his followers have established many aristocratic families.

This is the origin of the Zizhou Immortal Cultivation Family.

In a conversation between Wu Tao and Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng is usually talking, Wu Tao is listening, and Wu Tao occasionally interjects a few words.

As he talked about what Wu Tao thought of the upper echelons of the Zizhou Immortal Cultivation World, he already had a general idea in his mind.

Children like Zhang Heng who are not the eldest son of an aristocratic family generally have two possibilities. One is to manage the complicated and trivial affairs outside the family, and the other is to be sent out to serve as an official.

In short, they do not have an eldest son who is so valued by the family, and their resources are relatively small.

As the eldest son trained by the future head of the family, in addition to practicing cultivation, he has been regularly participating in talks, tea parties, socializing, talking about Dharma, discussing Taoism, expanding contacts, and making friends.

This is a common tacit understanding between aristocratic families.

This method can reduce internal consumption and competition, and maximize the expansion of family strength.

Zhang Heng was sent to Tianshui County when he was out, which was actually a disguised form of distribution and exile.

But Zhang Heng knew that his qualifications were not very good. After leaving the Zhang family, it would be much more difficult to advance to the core formation stage, or even impossible.

It was precisely because of this that the appearance of Wu Tao, the alchemist, made Zhang Heng ecstatic.

Because as long as Wu Tao is here, as the magistrate of Tianshui County, he only needs to continue to squeeze the people and families under him to obtain a steady stream of pills.

Under this situation, he is confident that he can advance to the Dan Formation stage.

And once he advances to the Dan Formation stage, he can leave Tianshui County, which he had squeezed clean for a long time...

Return to the family and compete with his eldest brother for the throne again!

Zhang Heng, Huang Bo and others came by flying boat this time.

…

The flying boat is what monks use to escape.

And it is not an ordinary flying escape object like a flying sword, but an extremely rare flying escape object that only big forces build.

The flight speed of the flying boat is not very fast, but it is extremely comfortable and consumes very little spiritual power. It is equivalent to a luxurious eight-horse carriage in the mortal world...

When most monks go out on a journey, their requirements are to be faster, more stable, stronger in defense, and cheaper. In short, everything should be simple.

In this way, the flying sword, which can not only protect oneself and kill, but also transform into light and escape, is naturally the choice of more than 90% of the monks.

Only the disciples of big forces will pursue flashy things, because the flying things are not only for their use on the road, but also for their face.

As long as he flies a little lower, he won't miss such a conspicuous target.

Zhang Heng's base camp, the County Magistrate's Mansion, is located in the center of Tianshui County. It occupies a very large area and is quite spacious. It is built with smooth sapphire and purple-gold red bricks that are worth every inch of land. The surface is painted with gold powder, which makes it look extremely luxurious.

.

At this time, people were coming and going outside the spacious county magistrate's house, all coming to give gifts and ask for help. The few guards who were on guard were also very happy to collect money.
