Chapter 30 Family Crisis

"Originally, if we can't pay the tax this year, we can postpone it until next year, but those people bought the government and forced us to pay it now, and we have to make up for what we owe before. Isn't this forcing us to a dead end? Give us a half-month deadline, otherwise we will be driven out of here. In this case, we will die if we go out. Now we have found all the money we can find in the town, and our property here can't be sold. How can we pay taxes? Now we dare not run, leaving the government to force us. We are in a dilemma. Why do you still want to come back?

"You're back now. They don't know there is such a person as you, so you'll take advantage of the night to leave tonight. You can also take away all the money we have now, which can also protect our roots, so that I will die." The elder said sadly.

Bai Feiyun looked at these dejected elders and said, "Big elder, how much money do we have to pay in our town now? Who should we pay?"

"In the past, our tax was 5,000 gold coins a year. Because we are too poor here, we only gave 2,000 gold coins. But now they want us to make up all the previous taxes, and then include 20,000 gold coins this year. We have only found 8,000 gold coins now, which is impossible to meet their number. So let's go there to find another 12,000 gold coins? This is to force us to die completely. Today, we elders are discussing what we should do in the future and how to protect more people. The elder said desperately.

As soon as Bai Feiyun moved his mind, he piled up a lot of gold coins on the ground. He said, "Big elders, look, this is 100,000 gold coins and these things." After saying that, I saw a large pile of skins of all kinds of beasts all over the ground.

All of a sudden, the elders' eyes were straight. They didn't understand how Bai Feiyun made it, but this is a real thing! Those animal skins are super monsters in the deep mountains. No one in the Bai family has ever dared to think that they can hunt such animals. Now there are so many. Is this a dream?

The elder said excitedly, "Feiyun, is this true? It's not my eyes, is it? You got so much money and so many animal skins from there, and they are all high-end animal skins. These animal skins alone are enough.

Other elders also looked forward and looked at the pile of skins.

He smiled peerlessly and said, "Big elder, this is all ours. I entered the mountain after I left here last time. I have been practicing skills in the mountain. I beat these animal skins myself, and this money. This is a person I met in the mountain. He insisted that he asked me to be his apprentice, and in the end he gave me so much. I will give some money every year in the future, so I'm not short of money. Let's give it to the town.

At this time, the seven elders took the skin of the lion cloud beast and said, "What kind of spirit beast is this? Although I can't see it, I know that this piece of skin is worth at least 100,000 gold coins. Did you beat such a powerful spirit beast? So you are too awesome, aren't you?

Peerless did not dare to take credit this time and said, "This is not what I defeated. This is what my master finally killed after I mutilated it. For it, my master almost died. This is called the lion cloud beast."

The fourth chief said at this time, "The problem of money has been solved, but our danger is still there. Those people are surrounding us outside now. As long as we go out, there is danger. We can also use money to hire some hunters' union to escort us, but how can we get out?"

"Let me figure this out. Elder, please withdraw all the guards outside now to avoid accidental injury. I have two spirit beasts, so let them destroy all those people." After saying that, the two lion cloud beasts appeared in front of the crowd, which shocked everyone, but they were relieved to see the intimate appearance of the two spirit beasts and Feiyun.

The seventh elder stood up and said, "I'll go and inform them to come back immediately. What are we afraid of them with these two spirit beasts?" After saying that, the seventh elder hurried out to inform him.

Peerless took out a large number of jade bottles and put them on the table and said, "Big elder, I worshipped the master again without your consent. I pleaded guilty to you. These elixirs were given to me by my master, and some of them were refined by myself. Let's leave these things in the town. For the time being, people in our town don't want to do business. Now let them all come to practice martial arts. I believe that with hundreds of elixirs, the strength of our town will improve quickly. When everyone has greatly improved their skills, we don't have to live in this place and change to another good place.

"Okay, okay, I knew I didn't misread you. You brought us so many elixirs back. You have made great contributions for us." The elder thanked him. He turned around and said, "There are so many elixir here. I wonder if there is any bone elixir? Only that kind of elixir can make people change their physique.

He laughed and said, "Big elder, what you said today is the same as what I meant back then. I also asked the master like this back then. Guess what he said? He stared and said, "You are insulting me. You actually compare that low-level elixir with the elixir I refined. You're going to piss me off." So, elder, you have also insulted my master. My master is the holy pharmacist of the kingdom. Do you think he will refine this ordinary elixir?

At this time, the seven elders also came back. After hearing this, he said excitedly, "Feiyun, are you telling the truth? Does your master say that Zhuanggu elixir is a low-grade medicine? That is to say, the elixir here is more advanced than the bone elixir, right? You know, I was red-eyed with your grandfather's elixir for a long time, so I almost sold myself. But we also know that's what your grandfather prepared for you.

Bai Feiyun's eyes turned red when he thought of his grandfather and said, "Grandpa can't see this day. Let me tell you that there are also these elixirs and bone elixirs. That's what I refined casually when I first started to learn alchemy. Now I don't remake this low-quality elixir anymore. The elixirs here are basically medium-grade elixir. I have refined and played with those low-quality elixir and the first-grade elixir. There are all kinds of elixir here, including healing, some to improve physical quality, and more than ten times stronger than bone elixir, promotion elixir, Yijing elixir, these elixirs, can easily be easily promoted to martial arts if used by martial arts. If you use it, you can reach the martial arts. I have more than 300 grains. What you need now is to select potential people and improve their skills, so that you can better defend our family.

Bai Feiyun's words mobilized everyone's emotions. Even the elder, who had always been steady, shed tears with excitement. Seeing that the family was about to exterminate the clan, suddenly another great good news came, which made people's hearts unbear it. This was so sad and happy. It's really exciting.

The elder said, "With these elixirs, give me five years to let a few strong people appear in the clan. Feiyun, you saved the life of the family this time. How can we thank you?"

"I'm also a member of the Bai family. Let's not say thank you. It should be that I want to thank you for cultivating and taking care of me over the years. There are various ways and effects of elixirs on this list. You should mix and use them, and you should focus on cultivating a few backbones first." With that, he took out a piece of paper.

At this time, Bai Feiyun suddenly asked again, "Big Elder, can you tell me? Where is the root of our family? Why do I think this is not our root?"

This made everyone confused. How could he say such a thing?

The elder smiled and said, "We are happy and a little confused. Did we hear it wrong? Or did you ask the wrong question? Of course, the roots of our family are here. This can't be wrong. Our family has been here for generations. Is there anything wrong?

Bai Feiyun shook his head and said, "Our roots are definitely not here, and I don't know why our ancestors chose to settle here, but I can say for sure that they are not here. There is a big secret here, but I just don't know.

The elder was shocked and said, "Feiyun, what are you talking about? Why is our root not here? Where did you hear about it? Don't listen to other people's nonsense. The ancestral training in those years asked us to stay here for generations and not allow us to move to other places. Everyone knows this ancestral training. Why did you come up with such a sentence again? I'm going to scare us."

"That's why you don't know the reason. Why did our ancestors ask us to stay here forever, because there is a big secret hidden here. This is the secret of the family, a secret that can never be known. This secret happens to be known to me. This is because our family used to be a royal family, a royal family that can only hide here and live secretly. I also inferred from some clues, because our family has its own skills, a completely different skill, a powerful skill, which can make us stand on the highest position in the mainland, but this skill cannot be practiced in the mainland. Once it is found, it will kill the nine clans. The ancestors did not let us practice in order to protect the roots of our family. As for the roots of the family, I will only know until I slowly investigate clearly in the future. Now all this is a mystery for us. Bai Feiyun analyzed.

The elder hurriedly said, "Feiyun, how did you know? Then you tell us that we can judge together, and maybe we can find out the root of the family.

'Yes, you tell us, maybe we can know. Generally speaking, we have lived a few more years and know more than you." The fourth elder also said excitedly.
