Gao Yan originally planned to bring over these more than one billion immortal stones as well, but after thinking about it, he decided against it!
These immortal stones were all plundered from the immortals within the city.
If they kidnap again, Cheng Lishan will probably find another way to plunder the immortals in the city.
Most of the immortals are poor and miserable, unlike those gang leaders who, after years of accumulation, still have a small fortune despite Qu Houyang taking a lot from them!
About a year later, an aura soared into the sky from the City Lord's Mansion.
Gao Yan knew that this meant Qu Houyang had returned to the Celestial Immortal level.
Once he reaches the Celestial Immortal level, I guess this guy won't be able to stay in Tianyao City anymore, right?
As Gao Yan predicted.
After Qu Houyang recovered to the Celestial Realm, he intensified his looting of Tianyao City.
The tributes paid by the thirteen gang leaders doubled, while Gao Yan's tributes, though not doubled, rose to two hundred million.
While exploiting these Earth Immortal forces, Qu Houyang did not forget to exploit the Immortal citizens within the city.
Because of the excessive exploitation, the business of both the Shuangxiu Building and the casino has greatly decreased, and it has even affected the sale of wild beast meat.
"Damn it, we can't let this guy run rampant in Tianyao City any longer!"
High words spoken in secret.
That very night, Gao Yan entered the city lord's mansion and looted all 5.2 billion immortal stones that Qu Houyang had amassed during this period!
His earnings also exceeded 20 billion, reaching 22.2 billion, and the total number of immortal stones reached 650 billion.
"System, you've leveled up two times!"
He issued a high-ranking order.
"Ding! System upgrade has begun. Upgrade time is 24 hours. Please wait patiently!"
Gao Yan was upgrading his skills, but Qu Houyang was furious.
He had previously sent Qu Shiqi back to his family to ask his parents to help investigate who had robbed his immortal stones.
Unfortunately, nothing came of it.
Now, he has just acquired 5.2 billion immortal stones, and before he can even put them to use, they have been stolen again.
Frustrating!
This is so frustrating!
With this in mind, he decided to be transferred away from Tianyao City as soon as possible.
A day passes in the blink of an eye.
The system has been upgraded and has reached level 40.
A total of two premium draws and 60 evolution points were awarded.
"System, two consecutive advanced lottery draws, hurry up!"
"Ding! Double Premium Lottery Draw Initiated!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a fourth-grade immortal pill. The prize has been sent to your system space. Please wait patiently!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have received 10 intermediate-grade immortal medicine seeds. The reward has been sent to your system space. Please wait patiently!"
I flashed into my world, took out a fourth-grade immortal pill, and swallowed it.
Then it is absorbed and refined by the cultivation badge.
Two days later, the medicinal power of the Four-Turn Immortal Pill was completely absorbed, and Gao Yan's realm also broke through to the fifth level of True Immortal!
Then, Gao Yan took out the seeds of ten intermediate-grade immortal herbs.
In the immortal realm, elixirs are expensive because immortal medicines are relatively rare.
After all, the immortal realm has existed for too long, and all the wild immortal herbs have long been harvested. Even if there are any left, they are located in dangerous and inaccessible areas.
Therefore, 99% of the immortal herbs need to be cultivated. It takes at least tens of thousands of years for an ordinary immortal herb to grow from planting to maturity.
A mid-grade immortal medicine would take at least 100,000 years to prepare!
However, refining a single elixir requires more than one type of elixir, which is why elixirs remain so expensive.
Gao Yan has a space for planting medicinal herbs.
He planted all ten intermediate-grade immortal herb seeds he had obtained.
I checked the progress.
Ten mid-grade immortal herbs would take at least three thousand years to mature.
However, Gao Yan has a magical herb called the Immortal Mushroom King, which can greatly shorten the growth time of the immortal medicine!
Even so, Gao Yan estimated that it would take one or two hundred years for a mid-level immortal herb to mature.
Gao Yan sent 100 million immortal stones into the spiritual herb planting space as food for the Immortal Mushroom King and instructed it to take good care of the ten intermediate-level immortal herbs, then ignored them.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Qu Houyang was finally transferred away from Tianyao City.
Before leaving, Cheng Lishan, who wanted to make a quick buck, invited Gao Yan and thirteen other gang leaders to the restaurant.
Everyone was trying to get rid of the plague god, and each person gave 50 million immortal stones.
This time, Gao Yan didn't hold back either.
After the other party left the restaurant, he took action and robbed him of the 700 million immortal stones he had extorted.
For a moment, Cheng Lishan was on the verge of tears.
But he had no way to solve it.
The following day, Qu Houyang officially left Tianyao City.
As they watched the guy leave, everyone in Tianyao City couldn't help but cheer.
The gang leaders, in particular, who had been extorted multiple times, were almost moved to tears of joy!
Half a month later.
The new city lord has arrived.
The new city lord is only at the eighth level of Earth Immortal, and he also has a confidant at the seventh level of Earth Immortal.
The new city lord was named Zhao Youxian. The first thing he did upon arriving was to restore the cultivation tax to normal, which made the immortals of Tianyao City grateful to him as their new city lord.
That evening, he also hosted a banquet for Gao Yan and thirteen gang leaders.
At the banquet, Zhao Youxian did not put on an arrogant attitude; on the contrary, he appeared quite polite and friendly.
Before taking office, he had conducted an investigation of Tianyao City.
They knew that Qu Houyang had exploited everyone in Tianyao City to the point of misery.
If it weren't for Qu Houyang's formidable strength, the disastrous situation in Baidi City would likely have been repeated.
If he were to exploit Tianyao City as ruthlessly as Qu Houyang, he would surely fail miserably.
After all, he was only at the eighth level of Earth Immortal, and his personal attendant was only at the seventh level of Earth Immortal!
Even if he could suppress the fourteen Earth Immortal forces, if he squeezed them too much, they might just abandon Tianyao City. Therefore, his approach was to appease them.
