He was wearing ragged clothes and his hair was covered with weeds and leaves.
With a dull sound, Wen Tiexin placed over a hundred kilograms of snake meat on the official road, turned around, and glanced at the crowd.
"Where's Li Qinglin? I didn't see him in the camp. Why didn't I see him along the way?"
Deng Dong coughed, and his blood and qi began to churn.
While running wildly all the way, he encountered several frightened water buffaloes on the road. He fought them off briefly, but was also seriously injured.
"Could we have entered the robbery zone?" Deng Dong asked hesitantly.
Chang Yuren and Lan Yu came out of the wilderness one after another.
Seeing this, Wen Tiexin's face was filled with coldness.
Not everyone is blinded by profit and will fight for the opportunity to become an immortal once they see it.
Among the hundreds of people in the camp, there are naturally some who judge the situation and choose to give up their chance to become immortals for various reasons.
As the calamity zone began to spread, he used his lightness skills to hurry along.
The situation was urgent at the time. After Wen Tiexin and others noticed something was wrong, they went to Li Qinglin's tent to look for him, but they couldn't find him.
Finally, they were forced to evacuate.
As time goes by, the temperature in the mountains gradually rises.
A white moon gradually appeared on the top of the distant mountain, and the sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, driving away the darkness.
The armored mud dragon came windingly along the official road and gradually stopped in front of everyone.
Seeing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief and scrambled to get into the carriage.
"Brother, what happened? Why are you all so embarrassed?"
Other serving martial artists asked.
Everyone in the palace kept their mouths shut and refused to talk about it.
A quarter of an hour later, the mud dragon of vehicle A started to move, and rays of light from the array patterns covered the entire body of the vehicle.
"Wen Tiexin, the car has left."
Deng Dong picked up the package and turned to look at Wen Tiexin who was still standing on the official road.
Wen Tiexin's face was grim, his eyes were like deep lakes, he stood there with an aloof temperament, faintly separating himself from the cold current.
She looked at the distant wilderness, seeing no one for a long time, and her face became colder.
Swish, swish, swish…
Suddenly, hurried and heavy footsteps were heard.
Then a figure suddenly shot out from the mountains and forests, like a cannonball leaving the chamber, and leaped more than ten feet away.
Li Qinglin was seen carrying snake meat on his shoulders and a beheading knife on his waist, rushing to the official road with large and small bags, and there was a long strip of object wrapped in coarse cloth on his back.
Seeing this, Wen Tiexin showed a barely perceptible smile, but his expression remained icy.
"As the leader, I hate people who leave the team without permission! As a punishment, after we return to the city and the matter is settled, you have to host a banquet for us. Is that ok?"
Li Qinglin was stunned when he heard this, and saw that there were people who had not yet gotten on the bus and seemed to be waiting for him.
He smiled softly: "I am willing to be punished."
…
The armored mud dragon drove into the city gate and slowly stopped.
It seemed as if someone had delivered a message. As soon as the people from the palace got off the car, the palace stewards and government officials came together.
Li Qinglin and the others were naturally interrogated, from leaving the city, to staying in the wilderness at night and witnessing the sacrificial ceremony of eating gu zhang, to Jiang Xuecai's betrayal, and the silver-striped python being swallowed by the Jade Yuanchan...
The recorder, besides a martial arts master from the royal palace, was also a government official.
When he heard that Li Qinglin had swallowed alive a plant of Nine-branched Black Essence Grass, used it to break through to become a martial artist, and then drew his bow and shot and killed Jiang Xuecai, who had achieved bone-penetrating cultivation.
The two of them looked at Li Qinglin as if he were a monster, and they kept looking at him in amazement.
"Every time I serve, I usually meet some lucky people who get a chance, and some who can even breathe fire and ride on fog. But it's rare to see someone like you crossing the border and killing people."
The martial artist of the palace nodded, and did not ask about the silver-striped python meat. He tacitly agreed that for the welfare of everyone, he went to worry about the birth of Shui Hengliu and the invasion of the robbery domain.
Li Qinglin suddenly stopped the police officer.
"Sir, may I ask how to get rid of slavery and become a common householder?"
Li Qinglin cupped his hands and silently handed a silver coin into the trouser pocket of the police officer.
The jail official was stunned when he heard this. Generally, after the tenants of these big families became martial artists, their slave status would be cancelled and they would be included in the household registration of the master's family, thus completely bearing the mark of the big family.
He subconsciously thought that Li Qinglin would do the same.
But now it seems that Li Qinglin actually wants to completely leave the palace and become a common household?
Those who become martial artists can negotiate with the master and take up to double the redemption value to repay the life contract.
Generally speaking, the first exemption makes one a foreign household, the second exemption makes one a miscellaneous household, and the third exemption makes one a good man. Li Qinglin was just the son of a commoner who sold himself into slavery. After paying off his life contract, he became a miscellaneous household of the lowest class.
Their status is similar to that of "floating guests" who float around, have no fixed place to live, and live in other people's homes.
Although I am a free person, there are still many inconveniences.
The household registration of miscellaneous households was mostly returned to their place of birth. In addition to the fixed land reclamation service every three months, they were also required to pay spring and autumn taxes, land taxes, and farm taxes. If they wanted to do business, they also had to pay business taxes.
These are calculated per person. Of course, if you don't want to serve, you can pay a sum of silver and let others serve in the pioneering service on your behalf.
Except for the first time of pioneering service when one becomes an adult, one can pay someone to replace one in future service, which is also allowed by the court.
The police officer felt the bulging trouser pockets and smiled a little, but returned the money to Li Qinglin.
"I am a few years older than you, so I have the audacity to call you my brother."

"This is a simple matter. Just take the life deed to the household department and someone will naturally guide you.
But you have to note that once you become a miscellaneous household, you will not be eligible to purchase real estate in the outer or inner city or enjoy other benefits.
You are eligible only if you have joined a middle-level or higher gym, wealthy family, or shop and received a letter from them.
Of course, you can also directly join government agencies and become a middle-class household, and naturally everything will not be a problem.
But with your current strength, it is easy to become a low-income household, but difficult to become a medium-income household. I suggest that you take it step by step and don’t rush into anything.”
Li Qinglin has become a martial arts master, and his future is still unknown, which undoubtedly makes the police pay more attention to him.
Now I will tell you everything in detail without hiding anything.
Li Qinglin immediately had an idea when he heard this.
"Thank you very much."
When Deng Dong saw the magistrate leave, he spoke to Li Qinglin in a serious tone.
"You want to leave the palace completely? Then you have to be careful. In the past twenty years, the palace has never allowed a tenant who became a martial artist to leave."
Lan Yu was also a little worried: "Li Qinglin, if you want to leave the palace, you might as well go to work for the Second Mistress after redeeming your life contract, and wait for a few years before slowly making things happen."
The Second Mistress knows the sources of Wang's secret medicine and medicinal baths. Lan Yu was also a tenant in his early years, but was promoted by the Second Mistress and given the "Rejuvenation Talisman".
Therefore, I know that this cannot be achieved overnight, and I should proceed step by step.
"Yes, you don't have to be so anxious. You have just become an adult and you still have a lot of time. Don't be reckless."
Chang Yuren also spoke up to dissuade him.
Li Qinglin looked at everyone, smiled slightly and bowed,
"Thank you very much, but Li has made up his mind."
Hearing this, Deng Dong and others shook their heads and said no more.
"If you have any problems, you can find me at Luoyan Daoyuan. I am not in the palace most of the time."
Wen Tiexin looked at Li Qinglin deeply, then turned around and left.
Afterwards, everyone left one after another. The matter of slaying the demon had already been reported, so they were not in a hurry to return to the palace.
Li Qinglin was about to leave when he saw several people in coarse cloth running over from the other side of the street, with flattering and fawning faces. "I just asked this sir, is this Li Qinglin?"
Li Qinglin was stunned for a moment, then replied, "It's me."
"Congratulations, sir, for making the leap to becoming a martial arts master!
"The wind is like a bird, and it can fly up to 90,000 kilometers in the sky. The horse can run a thousand miles a day. From now on, you will be among the extraordinary people!"
Another series of flattering voices came.
Li Qinglin then realized that the people in front of him were "reporters".
They specifically wait at the city gates, and if they come across someone who becomes a martial artist during his military service or training in the wilderness, they will report the good news to his family.
Li Qinglin smiled lightly. It was obvious that the news was leaked by the magistrate just now, but this matter was exactly what Li Qinglin wanted.
After thinking about it, Li Qinglin took out two taels of silver.
"Then I'll trouble you all."
Just for running away and delivering the message, there is such a huge reward.
Several messengers smiled widely and bent down to take the silver.
"Don't worry, sir. This matter will be done joyfully and neatly for you!"
