The fear of cultivating immortals comes from insufficient firepower

Seeing that everyone was watching, Li Xiaofan patted the beast bag and released the three demon birds that had been imprisoned for a long time.

These three demon birds were all obtained from Songren Tou.

They are two ghost raptors and a sparrow looking for materials.

Since acquiring these three monsters, Li Xiaofan has only released the will-o'-the-wisp bird once.

However, the three demon birds had already been controlled by Li Xiaofan and recognized Li Xiaofan as their master.

Suddenly, everyone in the hall was startled when they saw two third-level peak demon birds flying out.

Li Xiaofan quickly waved his hand: "Don't be afraid, these are all my demon pets."

After saying that, Li Xiaofan looked at Master Jiao.

"Old Jiao, you are now managing the Kuanglong Gang by yourself. I'm afraid some of the guys who owe you money won't obey you."

"Now I give you a will-o'-the-wisp bird of prey, which can greatly increase your combat effectiveness."

After saying that, Li Xiaofan waved his hand and threw a jade talisman to Master Jiao.

"This jade talisman can control will-o'-the-wisps, demons, and birds, so make good use of it."

Master Jiao was ecstatic when he saw that Li Xiaofan actually gave him a third-level peak demon pet.

"Thank you City Lord, thank you City Lord."

Li Xiaofan nodded and looked at Wei Kuanglong again.

"Old Wei, I will leave the remaining two demon pets to you."

"Did you see this black bird? It's a material-seeking bird. It can easily find rare elixirs."

"The Demon Hunting Gang often goes to Monster Garden Mountain to hunt monsters and search for spiritual materials. You ask your subordinates to take these two monsters with them."

"It can not only ensure safety, but also better discover elixirs."

After saying that, Li Xiaofan threw two more jade talismans to the other party.

Wei Kuanglong caught it and thanked him as well.

Most of the things had been arranged, and Li Xiaofan waved his hand.

"Okay, in the following time, you will work hard. Within a month, I want to see new changes in Ping An City."

"Lan Xiu and Hui Xiu stay, others can go down!"

Seeing this, everyone stood up and left.

Soon, only sisters Li Xiaofan and Ye Lanxiu were left in the entire hall, plus a servant standing next to Li Xiaofan.

At this time, Ye Lanxiu frowned and looked at Li Xiaofan.

"City Lord, you didn't give us any information and you left us alone. Do you have anything special to explain?"

Li Xiaofan nodded: "Lan Xiu Huixiu, you guessed it right."

"What I want you to do is rather special, so listen carefully."

Ye Lanxiu quickly saluted: "Just ask the city lord for instructions. My sister will do her best."

Li Xiaofan nodded: "You don't have to take care of the business of those stores yourself in the future, just leave it to some capable people below."

"I want you to find me a group of smarter foundation-building monks. The more people, the better."

Ye Lanxiu: "Then what do they need to do?"

Li Xiaofan: "I want them to transform themselves into casual cultivators and distribute them among the nearby cities for me to snoop for information."

"Especially Huang Fengcheng, send me more people in. No matter how big or small, as long as it involves immortal cultivators, we must pay attention to it and send you a message at any time."

As soon as Li Xiaofan finished speaking, Ye Lanxiu's brows wrinkled.

To be honest, he has never done such a thing.

But after Li Xiaofan spoke, she could only do her best.

"Follow your orders, my subordinates will definitely handle this matter well."

Li Xiaofan nodded, waved his hand and gave the other person a storage bag.

"There are a lot of jade messengers here, which allow you to contact the people who are scattered."

"In addition, there are many spiritual stones and cultivation resources for you to reward those people."

After putting the things away, the sisters Ye Lanxiu reassured themselves.

Li Xiaofan then waved his hand to let the other person go down.

After the sisters left, Li Xiaofan finally looked at Pu Yi.

"Pu Yi, I also have something for you to do."

Servant Yi quickly bowed: "Please give me your orders, Master."

Li Xiaofan: "Take some people and go to Zhang Huaiming's house in Jiangxiao Anshan."

"Just say that I have captured Ping An City and become the city lord. Ask them if they want to come to Ping An City."

"If they want to come, bring them. If they don't want to come, don't force it."

The servant listened and thought for a while before speaking.

"Sir, do you think you should bring any tokens? I'm afraid their family won't believe me."

Li Xiaofan thought about it and thought so, so he waved his hand and took out a transmission talisman and said something to the transmission talisman.

"Okay, take this over and let him hear it."

Seeing this, Pu Yi collected his things and headed to Xiaoan Mountain.

All things had been arranged for the time being, and Li Xiaofan climbed up to the fourth floor and resumed his days of practicing and increasing ammunition.

As time passed slowly, Ping An City also ushered in earth-shaking changes.

First of all, what worries people in the city most is the tax issue.

In the past, the tax collection standards set by Chi Ping were calculated on a per-household basis.

In other words, no matter whether you are rich or poor, as long as you are considered a resident of Ping An City, you must hand over corresponding money every year.

Of course, there will be differences between monks and lay people.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just the difference between gold, silver and spiritual stone.

However, after Li Xiaofan learned about it, he realized that there were many disadvantages in it.

For example, wealthy families and ordinary civilians are actually set according to the same standard.

In other words, as long as they are counted as one household, regardless of whether they have money or have no money, they all pay the same tax.

But Li Xiaofan has now directly changed this, and the method of collecting taxes has become a calculation of the other party's family property.

To put it bluntly, those who have more money pay more, and those who have less money pay less.

There are other regulations like this.

Of course, this kind of tax collection method makes some wealthy people very unhappy.

But at the same time, most residents with average family conditions immediately supported Li Xiaofan.

Besides, even if those wealthy people are unhappy, they don't dare to make irresponsible remarks. After all, they don't dare to offend the city lord.

In addition, there are fundamental differences between the current Ping An City and the past.

In the past, although the three major gangs took orders from Chi Pingan, they were still independent.

Most of the money earned in the gang is kept by himself.

It's just that I hand over part of it to Chi Ping'an every year.

But it's different now. The leaders of the three major gangs are all Li Xiaofan's subordinates and servants.

In other words, Li Xiaofan is the real owner, so except for the money for the gang's daily expenses.

Everything else belongs to Li Xiaofan.

The wealth accumulated by the three gangs and Chi Pingan over the years is now in Li Xiaofan's hands.

It can be said that even counting the wealth brought by Li Xiaofan himself.

The current wealth of the City Lord's Mansion is simply not comparable to that of Chi Pingan before.

In this way, five days passed in a flash.

At noon that day, Zhang Huaiming's family finally followed Pu Yi to Ping'an City.

As a result, as soon as Zhang Huaiming entered the city, he was surprised by the changes in Ping An City.

Even Zhang Xiaohui and Zhang Xiaoyu looked around curiously.

Zhang Xiaohui looked at it for a while, and then spoke to Zhang Xiaoyu beside him.

"Sister, I really didn't expect Brother Xiaoyu to be so powerful. As soon as he came to Ping An City, he became the city lord."

Zhang Xiaoyu also nodded: "I knew Brother Xiaoyu was great, so you don't have to say this."

Seeing the family walking and looking at each other, Puyi quickly spoke.

"Don't look at it now. Let's go to the city lord's mansion quickly. I have some errands to attend to."

When the three of them heard this, they reacted and quickly speeded up.
