Bai Zhuo's body suddenly emitted a faint heat wave, like a flame igniting: "I will fight with you. If you can beat me, I will help you."

Lin Sheng shook his head: "I don't fight with others, I just kill people."

Bai Zhuo sneered: "You don't dare, right?"

"You possess the High Grade Fire Spirit Root, and your strength is indeed impressive. It's a pity that you are no match for me. It would be a pity to die."

As he spoke, Lin Sheng took out a flying sword and flicked it into the ground: "Do you recognize this sword?"

Bai Zhuo's face was slightly condensed, and he looked at the flying sword carefully. He seemed to have seen this sword somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Lin Sheng's expression was calm: "This sword is Li Jian's Azure Cloud Sword. For a swordsman, the sword is with you. How do you compare to Li Jian?"

"Li Jian? The Li family?" Bai Zhuo looked confused. When he thought about it, he seemed to not know this person at all. He looked at Feijian carefully, and the figures of the Li family appeared in his mind.

‘Could it be? ’

Bai Zhuo suddenly thought of something, with a look of surprise on his face. The more he looked at the flying sword, the more familiar it became.

Lin Sheng smiled slightly: "It seems you have guessed that Li Jian is the elder of the Alliance Law Enforcement Hall. How does your strength compare to him?"

Bai Zhuo looked solemn: "It's not as good as that."

"Then do you still want to compete with me?"

"No, how do you want me to help you?"

Bai Zhuo shook his head. He doubted the authenticity of this matter, but considering the many rumors about the Lin family and his aunt's attitude, this matter should be true.

Lin Sheng looked appreciative, it seemed that there were still some smart people.

"I heard that the sect has divided Linked Cloud City into seven districts. What do you do in the Yaohu District that you are responsible for on a daily basis?"

Bai Zhuo looked calm: "He is in charge of public security and taxation, as well as some sect properties. The rest of the affairs are the responsibility of the city lord."

"Come, sit down and talk slowly."

Lin Sheng waved, poured out the cold water in the cup, and poured another cup of hot tea. Bai Zhuo hesitated for a moment, then sat down on the stone bench.

"Leave aside public security, what is the purpose of this tax? Is it possible that all people living in mixed communities in Linked Cloud City will be taxed together?"

Bai Zhuo glanced at the hot tea on the table, but did not pick it up: "The city lord is responsible for mortal taxation. I am only responsible for the taxation of monks in Yaohu District."

"The tax you are talking about is a store tax?"

Bai Zhuo nodded: "Not only the monks' shops, but also the Linked Cloud City where the monks live have to collect taxes."

Lin Sheng was surprised and took out a silver token with the words "Linked Cloud City" engraved on it. This was given to him by his law enforcement disciple when he first entered Linked Cloud City. He also handed over a Low Grade spirit stone at that time.

Bai Zhuo glanced at the token: "This token can only stay for ten days. If foreign monks want to live in Linked Cloud City permanently, they need to apply for an Evergreen token and pay taxes every year."

Lin Sheng nodded slightly and expressed his understanding. Linked Cloud City is backed by the Cloud Mountain vein and is under the jurisdiction of Evergreen Sect. There are many low-level Independent Cultivators living in the city. After all, it is safe and secure.

"What are the sect's industries in the Yaohu District that you are responsible for?"

"The only industry of the sect is the Cave Mansion. Because of the special nature of Yao Lake, the aura of this area is much richer than that of other areas."

"Then what are the sect industries in other districts?"

"In addition to practicing in the Cave Mansion, everything is provided, including food, clothing, housing and transportation."

As soon as he said this, Lin Sheng's face showed a sudden look on his face: "When I came here, I saw the Changqing Inn in the city. Is it a sect property?"

Bai Zhuo nodded: "Yes, all the shops you see starting with Changqing are sect properties."

"It seems to me that most of the people in this inn are mortals."

"Most of the sect's industries will also serve mortals, unlike monk shops that only target monks."

Bai Zhuo explained patiently: "After all, Linked Cloud City has a population of three million. If the sect doesn't care, it's impossible to feed that many people just by relying on the productivity of mortals."

Lin Sheng nodded slightly: "I see, but if we can serve mortals, then the sect's industry will not be competitive compared to other monks' industries."

Mortals can't get spiritual stones, so if they can buy goods without spiritual stones, that's definitely not good for monks.

However, Evergreen Sect's approach does have merit. No wonder he became the leader of Qi Guo's Immortal Gate faction. This is the reason.

Maintaining a basic population of three million, a lot of fairy seedlings can be contributed every year, not to mention the people from other cities who come here to participate in the Ascension Conference.

Lack of support is a problem faced by many Immortal Gate cultivators, but this problem does not exist in Evergreen Sect.

The sect's industry needs to maintain the basic base of the population and cannot be tampered with. Lin Sheng simply gave up on this goal and could only focus on the monk industry.

"As a deacon, can you decide the number of monk shops in the area you are responsible for? For example, who should open the shop? Tax pricing? What products should be sold?"

Bai Zhuo shook his head: "No, all of this needs to be reported to Elder Yunzhu, and can only be changed with the consent of the elder."

"My duty is to collect taxes and submit them to the sect on a regular basis. If I do anything beyond the scope of my duties, it will be a violation of the sect's rules and I will be whipped."

Lin Sheng seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Didn't you get something out of it?"

Bai Zhuo shook his head: "No."

"Is it true or false?"

"Really do not have."

Lin Sheng chuckled softly: "I can't tell, but you are very upright and upright, setting an example for the disciples of the sect. I heard that Wu Wenchao from Changwan District eats so much that his mouth is full of oil."

"Who did you listen to?" Bai Zhuo looked surprised.

"Who do you need to listen to? You can find out if you go out for a walk."

Lin Sheng shook his head and sighed: "Everyone is trying to take advantage of you. No wonder you are still stuck in Qi Refining Late Stage. Your aunt asked you to help me. This is the most correct move for the Bai family."

Bai Zhuo curled his lips slightly, obviously dissatisfied.

"You don't believe it? If I had worked as a deacon in Yaohu District for three years, I would have made enough money to buy a Foundation Building Pill. You wouldn't be able to seize the opportunity given to you."

Bai Zhuo looked dissatisfied and retorted: "Wu Wenchao has been making money for so many years, but I haven't even looked at his Foundation Building."

"He doesn't have Foundation Building because he has poor talent. Maybe he has taken a lot of Foundation Building Pills."

Lin Sheng looked indifferent: "Follow my instructions from now on, and I guarantee you will get the Foundation Building Pill within five years."

"Is this true?" Bai Zhuo's face condensed slightly.

"nature."

"Okay, what do I need to do?"

Lin Sheng showed a satisfied look on his face: "First, go and sort out the information on the monk industry in Yaohu District and give it to me. Specifically, which store sells what, and what forces are behind it."

"In addition, screen your inner disciples and kick out the outsiders, or transfer them to guard the pond and leave the core area. Do you understand?"

"Guarding the pond?" Bai Zhuo looked surprised.

"Isn't there a Yao Lake? Isn't it difficult to understand why they should be guarding the lake? They can't be transferred to guard the Cave Mansion."

"Understood."

Lin Sheng raised his finger and pointed at Bai Zhuo, emphasizing: "Pay attention, you must carefully screen, only your own people."

Bai Zhuo looked solemn, nodded and stood up. The formation passage slowly opened. Standing outside the garden was a young disciple who was trying to activate the transmission talisman. He was wearing a black sect law enforcement uniform. As soon as he saw the formation opening, he quickly walked in.

"Senior Brother Bai." The young disciple saluted respectfully when he saw Bai Zhuo, and then walked towards Lin Sheng: "May I ask, is this Senior Brother Lin Sheng?"

Lin Sheng looked calm: "What's the matter?"

The young disciple saluted respectfully: "Senior Brother Lin, Elder Yunzhu wants you to rush to the Law Enforcement Hall immediately."

Bai Zhuo, who was about to leave, looked stunned when he heard this, stopped in his tracks, and looked confused.

Lin Sheng's expression did not change: "Why did Elder Yunzhu invite me? What's the reason?"

"I don't know." The young disciple hesitated, then shook his head.

"Do you not know or don't tell?" Lin Sheng's eyes flashed coldly.

The young disciple frowned slightly: "What do you mean, senior brother? Do you want to fight me?"

Bai Zhuo frowned when he saw this, and was about to step forward when he saw Lin Sheng suddenly chuckled: "Haha, senior brother, I'm just kidding you. Where is the law enforcement hall? Please lead the way."

Lin Sheng stood up as he spoke and glanced at Bai Zhuo: "Junior brother Bai, please go back first and go about your own business."

Bai Zhuo nodded, said two words calmly, then turned and left.

‘Are you careful? ’

Lin Sheng thought to himself that Bai Zhuo's silent mouth shape before leaving should have been the word "be careful". Is this Elder Yunzhu so scary?

To be on the safe side, Lin Sheng took out the disciple token and hid it in his sleeve, which contained three life-saving spells from Elder Pu.

The young disciple did not see Lin Sheng's little move and led him to fly towards "Yunzhu Peak". There were no other law enforcement disciples following him on the way. With such a casual appearance, it seemed that it was not a particularly serious matter.

Lin Sheng thought about everything he had done recently, and it seemed that nothing could attract the attention of the Law Enforcement Hall, which made him feel a little strange.

Silently all the way, the two flew to "Yunzhu Peak". There was only a huge palace on the top of the peak, called the Law Enforcement Hall, which was also the retreat place of Elder Yunzhu.

The two of them walked back and forth into the palace. The passing law enforcement disciples all cast indifferent looks. Occasionally, a sect disciple with disheveled hair and a miserable appearance was carried out.

"Tell the elders, Lin Sheng will bring it to you." The young disciple stood outside the main hall and saluted respectfully.

"Let him come in." A strong voice came from the hall.

The young disciple looked sideways at Lin Sheng with a serious expression: "Senior brother, please come in."

With an expressionless expression, Lin Sheng opened the door and walked into the hall. The oil lamp columns on both sides of the hall suddenly lit up, and he saw an old man with white hair in black robes sitting on a high throne, looking at him with sadness.

"Disciple Lin Sheng, pay homage to Elder Yunzhu." Lin Sheng saluted respectfully.

Elder Yunzhu nodded slightly: "Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

"I don't know." Lin Sheng shook his head.

"Then do you know this person?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man came out from behind the screen on the right side of the hall, with a serious look on his face, and saluted Elder Yunzhu.

Lin Sheng glanced at the middle-aged monk and shook his head: "I don't know him."

Although he said he didn't know him, he already guessed who this person was. Unexpectedly, he actually complained to the law enforcement hall.

"Haha." Elder Yunzhu chuckled and looked at the screen on the left: "Du Shijie, come out and reminisce with Lin Sheng."

Lin Sheng looked at the screen on the left after hearing this, and saw Fat Mao walking out from behind the screen with a pale face, grinning bitterly: "Fifth brother."

There were no wounds on his body, and he must have been frightened because of his miserable appearance.

"Can you remember it?" Elder Yunzhu looked at Lin Sheng again.

Lin Sheng looked calm: "What do you mean, elder? You might as well speak frankly."

"Do you know that killing a fellow disciple is a capital crime?" Elder Yunzhu's voice became colder.

Lin Sheng's expression remained unchanged, and his voice remained calm: "May I ask the elder, who has the disciple killed?"
