In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 247 I am the Azure Emperor, I am the Azure Sky!
"Ah!"

Upon seeing this, the tax collector let out a mocking laugh:
"This is federal tax law. Do you think this is a roadside stall? You think you can haggle over the price?"

"I've seen plenty of people like you. Do you think having connections and background gives you special privileges?"

"Let me tell you, before federal taxes, even if you're from a prestigious family or a high-ranking federal official, everyone is equal! No one can escape!"

"Calling anyone won't help!"

A short while later, Xie Lingxin put down her phone.

He stared at the man and said, "Who told you to do this?"

"What do you mean by 'who' or 'who'? I don't know what you're talking about!"

The tax officer waved his hand impatiently and said, "Hurry up and sign the tax form. Can't you see how busy I am? I don't have that much time for you to waste!"

There were still quite a few people around at this time.

The past staff, as well as many trial participants and prospective trial participants.

It seems that the Tongtian Pagoda has begun to open to the public.

Most people here are here to inquire about or ask questions.

However, no one interfered or gossiped about it.

Those who can come here all have some connections, and everyone here knows this perfectly well.

They all adopted a "better to avoid trouble" mentality and remained indifferent bystanders.

The tax officer was also certain that no one would dare to cause trouble, including Xie Lingxin in front of him.

He sneered, "If you refuse to pay taxes, then I will have no choice but to forcibly withhold your earnings to offset taxes, in accordance with federal law!"

"Your harvest of spiritual essence this time is worth 3766 million, and the spiritual essence bead is worth 85 million, for a total of 122.66 million!"

"Hi~!"

The crowd, who had been observing indifferently, gasped in shock upon hearing this.

A spiritual substance worth tens of millions must consist of at least several thousand pieces.

A spirit bead worth 8500 million, even at the lowest market price of 500 million each, would amount to at least 17 beads!
They looked at Xie Lingxin with an incredulous gaze, as if she were a goddess.

How many legendary creatures have been killed?
Is this guy treating people like pigs and slaughtering them?
Otherwise, where would he get so many demons to kill?

Although there is no legal rule against killing in the domain, it is an unspoken rule because killing indiscriminately in the domain can easily trigger a chain reaction with extremely bad consequences.

That's incredibly audacious!
There are also Spirit Beads, which can only drop at level 10 or higher, but according to the probability, the drop rate is extremely low for levels below 20.

This number is only possible at level 20 and above.

Level 20 and above... the strength of the fifth or sixth level!
Everyone's expression changed when they saw Xie Lingxin.

Such strength would make him a talent even in the entire Federation.

Besides, he looks so young, probably only in his early twenties?

They thought that was all, but the tax collector wasn't finished: "Four ten-level magic treasures and one ten-level legendary item,"

"Based on grade, each item is worth 50 million, totaling 250 million,"

"A total of 372.66 million, with a tax rate of 33%, you should pay 122.9778 million federal dollars in taxes!"

"Hi~!"

There was a hissing sound all around, as if they were trying to suck all the air out.

Even Master Jianyue, who was sitting on the third floor in a languid and dreamy state, couldn't help but clear his eyes a little, his expression shifting slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

He then lazily stretched out his arousing body: "This kid... he's actually quite capable..."

The tax officer slammed down a receipt: "If you refuse to sign the tax form, I have the right to forcibly seize your earnings, equivalent to three magical treasures!"

"Did he rob some powerful family? Or did he steal directly from the Great Zhou treasury?!"

At this point, the people around could no longer contain their shock and began to discuss it.

"So that's what you were after."

Xie Lingxin understood.

This guy pulled this stunt just to get his own magic weapon.

However, this makes it difficult to determine who is behind this.

After all, I didn't have much experience when I first refined the treasure, so I made quite a commotion, and it just so happened to be during the Golden Wheel Festival.

There were quite a few trial participants who knew they possessed magical artifacts.

Thinking of this, he sneered, "Fine, try and take one!"

"So, you've made up your mind to evade taxes and defy the law?"

The middle-aged tax officer stared intently at him, like a wolf or a jackal.

They seemed impatiently waiting for him to say "yes".

Among the people around, someone couldn't help but advise, "Hey, don't be impulsive! Tax evasion is a serious crime, and it won't help no matter where you flee."

He felt that Xie Lingxin was so young, yet she had already achieved such incredible success in the realm, and her future was bright. There was no need for her to ruin it for a little bit of profit.

A few magical artifacts could buy countless lives.

But for someone with such a bright future, it's not worth it.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Isn't it just that someone is tampering with things behind the scenes, making you change the tax rates?"

Xie Lingxin simply stared coldly at the tax officer: "You can try and see if you have the ability."

He felt that Master Jianyue's words were very true.

If I believe myself to be the moon in the sky, then I am the moon in the sky!
eternal!

He lived a quiet and law-abiding life in the Great Zhou Dynasty, all for the sake of achieving spiritual cultivation.

Now, he dares to say that a 18-year-old, two-months-old, spiritual master at the sixth level of enlightenment is a rare find in the entire Federation, if any.

Besides, I'm now a dignified... mascot!
Why be a coward?
As long as he's in the right, no one can do anything to him.

Since someone's trying to cause trouble, all I can say is...

I don't eat beef!

He pointed this out in public, and the surrounding onlookers were indeed in an uproar, realizing what he meant.

Yes.

To have such ability, to gain such outrageous results in a single realm.

Could he be an ordinary person?

How could there be no tax reduction whatsoever, and we still have to pay the full amount of tax?
The tax authorities may be powerful, but they don't behave in such an ugly way.

"Good, good, good!"

Seeing this, the tax officer knew that Xie Lingxin had said these words, and regardless of whether they were true or not, things were already difficult to resolve.

He was caught in a dilemma, but he didn't regret targeting them too obviously or using methods that were too hasty and crude.

He's just a guy with no connections. What good is potential if he has no one to rely on? You still need to be alive to realize that potential!

We have no choice but to grit our teeth and make sure this brat is convicted of resisting the law and evading taxes today!
"Xie Lingxin resisted the law and evaded taxes! As a tax commissioner, I have the right to arrest and detain you!"

The tax officer shouted sharply, and everyone was immediately greeted by a dazzling golden light.

Golden light filled the surroundings.

That's the light of money!

The entire second floor seemed to have been trapped in another dimension.

The place was filled with golden light, gold everywhere, and gold coins raining down like a storm.

There is also a huge tree, tens of meters tall, with a golden color all over, as if it were cast in gold.

The lush canopy stretches out, enveloping this space, and every leaf is golden.

"Golden Valley! A money tree!?"

"It's the supernatural power of the Jin family, a prominent clan in the Western Sun! Money can move mountains!"

"So he's from the Xiyao Jin clan, no wonder!"

No wonder he is so arrogant!
Someone couldn't resist reaching out and actually caught the gold coin. They could really smell the money.

"Money...so much money!"

Some people, with dazed eyes and a silly smile, lay on the ground, stroking the floor paved with gold bricks.

The tax officer watched as more and more people prostrated themselves in ecstasy and laughed, "From ancient times to the present, as long as there are people, there is no life without money!"

"Money can move mountains and bewitch people!"

"With money in my hands, I can command everything under the heavens and the earth!"

"You little brat! Today I'll show you the power of money!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Submit to me, serve me, and I will give you money!"

Many of the people around were overjoyed and actually knelt down, crawling towards him, repeatedly shouting, "Me! Me! I do!"

Not everyone is affected by this strange mental force; however, apart from a very few, everyone needs to exert great effort to resist its erosion.

Some people secretly thought that this young man was likely to meet with bad luck.

The Xiyao Jin Clan is one of the most prestigious families in Xiyao.

The family's inherited supernatural ability, "money can move mountains," is a "natural" supernatural power they created through extraordinary means.

Any outstanding member of the clan who is recognized can be granted this "talented" supernatural power.

To be able to wield this supernatural power to such an extent and influence so many people simultaneously, this person must possess at least the strength of the sixth level of the Mind Realm, and has already begun to be able to interfere with matter with their mind.

No matter how capable this young man is, his age is a factor; how could he possibly handle it?

Some people were secretly angry.

This person is far too arrogant, acting so recklessly!

Even for the Xiyao family, this is going too far.

Do you really think this place is deserted?

"hold head high--!"

The dragon's roar resounded.

A white dragon snaked its way into the sky.

The enormous dragon's body is over 100 meters long.

Even though the space inside this pagoda is extremely large, it still feels like it's filled up.

"dragon?!"

"Why do I feel a little hot?"

"A Yin spirit purely Yang? A Yang spirit emerging?!"

"What is the emergence of Yang Shen? This is Yang Shen! Yin no longer exists, it transforms from emptiness to reality, it is not bound by form, it is a pure Yang spirit!"

"He has successfully cultivated his primordial spirit!!"

"True Dragon Primordial Spirit!"

"I've never heard of anyone in the Federation being able to cultivate a dragon-shaped Yin spirit, let alone a true Yang spirit! Only Yazi, who is said to be a son of the dragon, is ranked 99th!"

"hold head high--!"

To everyone's horror, the white dragon lowered its head and bit down, about to swallow the tax collector whole.

The tax officer's expression changed.

He hadn't expected that Xie Lingxin would still be able to fight back despite his supernatural powers.

Moreover, he even cultivated a primordial spirit!

At that moment, he truly felt a pang of regret.

Others may not know, but he knows it very well.

17 years old!
I'll still be two months away from turning 18!

He's actually already cultivated his primordial spirit?!

Even in the main Jin family, among those so-called prodigies and noble sons of the direct line, there is no one like this!

How can it be? !
A lowly commoner!
How could he!
"So what if you cultivate your primordial spirit?"

"We're both at the sixth level, but I have a divine innate ability! How can you fight me!"

Regret, fear, anger, jealousy—a mix of emotions tangled within him, distorting the tax officer's face.

"In this world, there is no one who can remain unmoved by money!"

Wow!
The giant money tree swayed violently, and the sound of money seemed to materialize at that moment.

Golden light spread.

It even turned everyone present into golden statues.

Countless coins and golden leaves danced in the air, instantly engulfing the white dragon and transforming it into a gigantic "golden dragon," whose movements became sluggish and slow.

That's pretty impressive...

A thought flashed through Xie Lingxin's mind.

He thought that having cultivated to the primordial spirit level, he would have few rivals, at least in the Far East region.

I didn't expect to run into one as soon as I got back.

Those who can get into the tax bureau, the uncrowned king of departments, are definitely not incompetent fools.

Although he was thinking this, there was no sign of distress on his face.

With a thought, a wisp of legendary power at the tenth level dissolved in his sea of ​​consciousness, displaying a dazzling array of seven colors.

The divine power of the Azure Emperor, cultivated through "The Azure Emperor's Journey to Penglai," instantly materialized.

As their lips and teeth opened and closed, a patch of green silently spread out from under their feet.

"I am the Azure Emperor, I am the Azure Sky..."

A slight coolness and moisture seeped silently into the hearts of everyone present.

Greenery spreads.

Gold everywhere, turned into green grass and red flowers.

Money rains down like a gentle spring rain.

Even the giant money tree has become lush and green.

Like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, it brings blessings to the earth!
The Azure Emperor is the Azure Heaven, whose grace is boundless!

And where is money to resist?

"Kneel down."

Xie Lingxin repeated his words.

It was light and airy, far less forceful than the other party's tone and manner.

To him, however, it sounded as heavy as mountains and rivers!

"boom!"

The tax officer bent his knees and slammed them to the ground.

Judging from the sound, it's probably ruined.

This is the Tower of Heaven, which cannot be destroyed by any extraordinary force.

So the only thing that will be damaged is his knees.

Broken.

"The sky is as blue as water, and the majesty of heaven is as harsh as a prison."

"Those who defy the majesty of Heaven... shall die."

The tax collector stared blankly, then muttered, "The sky is as blue as water, the heavenly majesty is as harsh as a prison; those who defy the heavenly majesty... die!"
