Start from refining weapons in Doupo Xiuxian

In addition, Jiang Lin's spiritual weapon body is even more exaggerated than Taixu Ancient Dragon. It is hard inside and out. Although it does not have many mechanisms, its numerical value is amazing.

Jiang Lin: Numbers are my mechanism!

Therefore, we must look at problems in the context of development and not give up development because of temporary gains and losses.

Jiang Lin had seen a classic example of this in his previous life.

At that time, other neighboring countries infringed upon China's interests in its southern waters, but China proposed the policy of "putting those issues aside for now and developing together." Later, as China, a late-stage monster, developed, the southern waters became free of any problems, and no one dared to raise the slogan of "joint development."

This is the situation Jiang Lin is facing now. His current true strength is basically enough to fight against low-star Dou Zong. The spatial power mastered by Dou Zong is not a very threatening thing to Jiang Lin, who has full spatial talent.

At this stage, he would first develop the resources through the Soul Palace and improve his own realm. He could see what happened next. At least, by the time Jiang Lin could defeat a Dou Sheng with a single punch, no one would ever mention "joint development" to him again.

This is the distribution of benefits from the soul tax. Currently, there are only Jiang Lin and the Soul Palace. Other forces cannot enter at all because the Soul Palace will not agree.

The distribution of the benefits from the spirit stone tax offered a slightly wider range of options: Jiang Lin, Canaan College, and regional forces. Jiang Lin's stake, needless to say, was his; he held a technical stake. Canaan College held a stake because they were producing spirit furnaces in Kuku. To expedite production at Canaan College, Jiang Lin even gave them the entire production line.

It is also normal for regional forces to hold shares, because they need to participate in the maintenance of the Nine-One Qi Gathering Array on a regular basis. This is the same as the Soul Palace, which will also participate in the maintenance.

Regional forces can be very diverse, and any force can be inserted into them. In short, on the basis of ensuring that the proportion of Jiang Lin and Canaan College remains unchanged, Jiang Lin does not care about the number of regional forces.

However, the current soul tax and spirit stone tax are all blank checks that Jiang Lin wrote to the Black Horn Domain and the Soul Palace. On the one hand, the soul tax distribution has not been discussed, and on the other hand, the spirit furnace and spirit stone inventory is insufficient.

But even so, Jiang Lin still relied on the reputation that the Spirit Craftsman had created in the Black Horn Region to gather the forces of the entire Black Horn Region together, and achieved what Dan Huang Han Feng had not accomplished for many years.

"It's only been a few months since we last met, how come this guy suddenly pulled out such a huge interest group?" At the gate of Black Seal City, after Gu Xun'er and Xiao Yan left their names on the stone tablet, she looked at the densely packed names of Dou Huang and Dou Wang on the stone tablet, and felt a little numb in her heart.

Others develop their power bit by bit.

Only this spiritual craftsman, after just a few months of absence, was able to integrate the Black Horn Region without any help from the spiritual craftsman. All the forces in the Black Horn Region would automatically suppress those unruly forces that wanted to disrupt their control.

In the past, they ate raw meat and drank blood, living on the edge of a knife. That was forced by the environment, they had no choice. In the Black Horn Territory, you have to be ruthless, and only by fighting can you obtain sufficient resources for cultivation.

But now, they suddenly have a new choice, whether it is the 30% acceleration of the cultivation of the Nine-One Gathering Qi Array, or the hard currency of the future spirit stones.

Now they want to be good.

Chapter 536: ThunderClan: Whose wicked thing is blocking my door?

Although it is not ruled out that these bad people who are not human will have a slippery path in the future and start a "blood and sweat spirit stone factory".

But no matter what, the appearance of the Spirit Craftsman has made everyone in the Black Horn Region reach a consensus. Although it is a bit hellish, this is the true portrayal: the living are more productive than the dead!

Of course, Jiang Lin actually had a more infernal technique. One that could make the 'dead' more productive than the living. But that method was too inhumane, and Jiang Lin wouldn't use it lightly. Especially since Jiang Lin had a guaranteed share of the two taxes, and no shortage of cultivation resources, he had no interest in something called a 'spiritual corpse'.

Of course, if this world goes too far and monopolizes all the spirit stone tax and soul tax given to Jiang Lin, and does not give Jiang Lin any coins, then Jiang Lin will really start to act like a non-human.

However, I believe that the introduction of soul tax and spirit stone tax will definitely make the lives of civilians a little better. As for whether they can live a better life, well, this kind of historical problem should be left to the wise descendants to solve!

".Indeed, the power of the Black Horn Region has been twisted together and is already able to sweep across the surrounding empires." Xiao Yan, who was beside Gu Xun'er, looked at the 'Black Seal Project Team Construction Workers' and couldn't help but sigh.

He also met the Black Horn Domain Dou Huang who had a feud with him before, but now they were both in the middle of the "construction period" of more than half a month, and they all apologized to him privately. In an instant, Xiao Yan felt what it meant to be a martial arts world.

In the past, fighting and killing could bring benefits, so naturally, when enemies met, people would be extremely jealous of each other.

Now that they can sit down and distribute benefits politely, who would want to fight? At most, they would duel over the distribution of benefits. But this kind of thing is rare. Why? This is where Jiang Lin's cunningness lies. Each faction has its own inherent territory. Except for those sects that prefer to live in the deep mountains and old forests, other sects can more or less gain benefits from the population cities within their sphere of influence. Sooner or later, they will be able to gain benefits.

In the future, these people will definitely continue to fight for territory and population, but the scale of the battle will definitely be limited. After all, if you fight in the city, whether it is destroying the Qi Gathering Tower or killing people and damaging the city's reputation, these are all real losses that other forces will definitely not allow.

Perhaps in the future, after the benefits have been fully distributed, a dedicated dueling arena might appear in the Black Horn Region, concentrating the battles between various regions into a small area. Whoever wins will gain a share of the region's benefits. Hmm... isn't this a school battle?

Black Seal City was large enough that the local Eight Gates alone could easily take it over. Consequently, the Black Seal City Lord had voluntarily ceded most of the city's future Soul Stone tax to other major forces, allowing them to invest. This was one reason why the construction team for the Black Seal Nine-One Qi Gathering Array was so complex. As for the distribution of benefits, Jiang Lin never worried about it, as these perpetually ruthless scoundrels would quickly resolve it themselves.

"This area should be the territory of the Thunder Clan," Gu Xun'er murmured silently in her heart as she glanced at the dark clouds and thunderstorms that occasionally rose in the sky of the Black Horn Region.

"If the Black Horn Region continues like this, the people of the Thunder Clan might have discovered it. The people of the Soul Palace also ended up in a very complicated situation." When Gu Xun'er thought about the Black Horn Region becoming a hodgepodge of forces, she felt a little emotional but also a little excited.

"If the Spirit Craftsman can't bring down the Soul Clan's leader, then the Ancient Clan can also take the initiative." Gu Xun'er was also secretly calculating the pros and cons in her mind. The Spirit Craftsman's "taxation strategy" was a terrifying and unrealistic idea. Gu Xun'er knew that given the Spirit Craftsman's personality, if his skills were not mature, he would not take any action at all.

The Spiritual Craftsman's taxation strategy was highly regionalized, requiring local forces to participate in the distribution of benefits, making this model of power expansion highly replicable. Gu Xun'er had no doubt that if the Spiritual Craftsman were given a few years, the entire Western Region would eagerly await his arrival, armed with the Nine-One Qi Gathering Formation and Spirit Furnace, to collect taxes.

Although Lingjiang seems to be a member of the Soul Clan, in this situation, as long as the timing is right, Gu Xun'er can naturally represent the Ancient Clan and lock in future benefits from Lingjiang in advance.

There's a huge difference between actively participating and passively participating. Gu Xun'er knew that once the dual-taxation strategy expanded to the ancient clan's territory, the ancient clan would undoubtedly reap the lion's share of both taxes. But what if the other spiritualists deliberately left their territory to the last? Others would have thrived for decades, while your clan was still struggling? That wouldn't work.

"However, the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan have never been on good terms. Exposing my identity might also bring unnecessary trouble." Gu Xun'er pondered silently in her heart, and finally her eyes became firm and she made up her mind.

"Old Ling is still too weak. We need a stronger person from the ancient clan to take the blame. At least, he can represent the ancient clan to intimidate the whole audience without exposing me." Gu Xun'er thought about it and finally decided to let Ling Ying, who had been invisible for a long time, contact the ancient clan's secret guards in the Western Regions and bring a letter to her father Gu Yuan, asking him to loan her a Dou Zun clan member.

Dou Sheng or something is too much, and not everyone's Dou Sheng likes to carry out tasks as efficiently as the Elf Clan. Normally, even if you invite a Dou Sheng, the other party will outsource the task and send you a Dou Zun. And Dou Zun will outsource the task to a small place like Black Horn Domain and send you a Dou Zong.

It’s not that Dou Zong is not strong, but in the face of the current complex situation in the Black Horn Region, Dou Zong is a machine overlord.

Gu Xun'er didn't know whether the spirit craftsman was aware of the territory of the Thunder Clan. Under the seemingly prosperous lake in the Black Horn Region, there was already an undercurrent.

"But considering the spirit craftsman's tendency to plan before deciding, he should have been prepared long ago, right?" Gu Xun'er thought silently as she looked at the spirit craftsman staring at the sunset in the distance.

Gu Xun'er's prediction was correct. The outer disciples of the Thunder Clan had already noticed the drastic changes in the Black Horn Region near their "doorstep".

As for Jiang Lin, the guy who obtained information about the eight tribes mainly through hearsay, do you think he knows that the Thunder Realm of the Thunder Tribe is near the Black Horn Region?

"Brother Jie, what is this Spiritual Craftsman Soul Clan that suddenly integrated the Black Horn Territory doing with their power near our Thunder Realm???"

Somewhere in the Black Horn Region, a young man with an imposing appearance, bulging muscles, and mysterious lines on his forehead asked a question to a middle-aged man of similar build standing next to him.

"Double Tax Law Lei Lie, let's observe for a while and see what tricks they play." The middle-aged man said with a glint in his eyes.

Chapter 537 Hun Keer: Master, if you die, can you give me this title?

Jiang Lin, who was conducting a "double tax" experiment in the Black Horn Region, naturally had no idea that people from the eight clans had already been secretly targeting him.

After all, according to common sense, Jiang Lin's petty actions in remote areas weren't a big deal; those top factions wouldn't even bother looking at him. But Jiang Lin's oddity was that the Black Horn Territory was like their "home" to the Thunder Clan. Of course, even so, the Thunder Clan wouldn't care much about the united Black Horn Territory, after all, it was hard to find even a Dou Zong among these weaklings.

But Jiang Lin brought down the people from the Western Region Soul Palace. Although the Western Region Soul Palace was the weakest domain-level Soul Palace in the Douqi Continent, the fate of the Soul Palace still made the situation in the Black Horn Region extremely complicated.

The combined power of the entire Black Horn Region was like a bug crawling around behind the Thunder Clan, ready to be killed at any moment. But the fate of the Soul Palace was like suddenly discovering that the bug behind them was actually a sex toy belonging to a certain tycoon. Suddenly, the Thunder Clan felt their anus tighten, and they became a little nervous.

"Did you do this?" In a forest somewhere in the Black Horn Region, under the bright moonlight, a slim woman with a black veil on her face, a black long skirt, and a black hat on her head, looked like a fairy in the moon, isolated from the world, exuding an otherworldly and moving temperament from head to toe.

Hun Ke'er's delicate hands gently grasped a crystal-clear high-level spirit stone. A strange color flashed in her ethereal gray eyes. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Jiang Lin, who was wearing a solemn black and gold robe on a treetop not far behind her. Her snow-white teeth gently bit his tempting red lips and said coldly, "With the spirit-raising tools, it's not bad. It has a bit of the shadow of a master."

"Hey, Uncle Ke'er, it's been a while, I've missed you so much." Jiang Lin looked at the otherworldly fairy in the moonlight ahead of him and smiled. A simple and honest emoji appeared on his expressionless mask. Jiang Lin had learned this trick from Pei Xuan, to prevent others from seeing his expression.

"Oh~" Hun Ke'er murmured softly, and then her figure instantly disappeared in the moonlight. In just a moment, she escaped from the space and appeared in front of Jiang Lin. Her jade-like fingers like snow onions gently lifted Jiang Lin's chin, who subconsciously stiffened slightly. She exhaled a faint fragrance and said in a cold voice: "What kind of missing is that?"

"Uh..." Jiang Lin froze in place, even subconsciously raising his hands to surrender: "Master, men and women are not allowed to touch each other."

"Haha, little guy, you have a lot of reasons." Hun Ke'er looked at Jiang Lin, who was as steady as a rock and looked like a master in front of everyone during the day, but was like a pure-hearted rookie in front of her. Her little mouth couldn't help but lift up a little, revealing a somewhat disdainful smile.

"There are not many weapon refiners in this world who can understand their path to becoming a master, and there are even fewer weapon refiners who can complete their path to becoming a master. Little guy, your weapon refining attainments are almost catching up with mine." Hun Ke'er sighed softly.

Hun Ke'er was also a seventh-rank weapon refiner who had mastered her own Grandmaster's Way. If it weren't for the fact that her Grandmaster's Way was a bit unorthodox, the chaos she could create on the Dou Qi Continent would be no less powerful than Jiang Lin's.

Grand Master of Weapon Refining is a special title given to those who have mastered the path of a master and reached an unprecedented level. For example, when Jiang Lin was able to harness the power of the strange fire to refine the seventh-tier profound weapon, the strange fire profound heavy cannon, he could barely be called a seventh-tier refiner. Only after Jiang Lin formally realized his master's path could he be considered a true seventh-tier refiner.

Finally, when Jiang Lin sorted out the "Theory of Fate Weapon", which reflected his own insights into weapon refining, he was considered a true master of weapon refining. He reached an unprecedented level on his own path to becoming a master.

And weapon refining grandmasters like Hun Ke'er and Jiang Lin who have reached the end of the master's road will surely become true elite eighth-level weapon refining masters in the future. As long as any weapon master dies, the title of weapon master will surely be chosen from among them.

Hun Keer: Master, if you die, can you give me this title?

Soul Craftsman: Master, I will give it to you right now. Master, you will try to die tomorrow.

Each of these weapon-refining Grandmasters, like Hun Ke'er, possesses the potential to unleash tremendous turmoil on the Dou Qi Continent. Some might question their inherent lack of strength, believing they shouldn't be capable of causing unrest on the Dou Qi Continent. However, these weapon-refining Grandmasters are unprecedented "madmen" in their fields. Their monstrous research into the world has led to their terrifyingly contaminated thoughts. If the top powers fail to control them, they will gradually unleash turmoil on the Dou Qi Continent.

For example, Jiang Lin, currently stuck in a rut, is a victim of a flaw. On the one hand, the outside world still has relatively little knowledge of the Spirit Craftsman, unaware that this suddenly emerging weapon refiner has reached the level of a Grand Master. On the other hand, neither the Weapon Refining Guild nor the Soul Palace knows who the Spirit Craftsman belongs to, and they all assume his actions are tacitly approved by the other side.

If Jiang Lin still chooses to use the Youlin alias, then soon after his double taxation idea appears, the Equipment Refining Guild Headquarters will send people to negotiate with Jiang Lin on various restrictive clauses on "the reasonable, healthy, green and safe construction of the Douqi Continent."

Take Hun Ke'er, for example. She carries these "safety clauses" jointly certified by the Soul Palace and the Refining Guild Headquarters. These clauses apply not only to the Dou Qi Continent but also to Hun Ke'er. As long as Hun Ke'er complies with these safety clauses, then, as long as she doesn't commit a heinous crime, both the Soul Palace and the Refining Guild Headquarters—Tiangong Pavilion, which brings together the top forces from all sides—will protect her to the death.

Why do we need to establish 'safety clauses' for weapon masters? Isn't changing the world a good thing?

Change is indeed a good thing. After all, technological advancement means the liberation of productivity, and the output and consumption of resources will all increase.

But for the world, the accelerated consumption of world resources is not necessarily a good thing.

Therefore, the top powers reached a consensus that research into super-refining technology was essential, after all, these technologies could serve as their ultimate defense. However, large-scale application was absolutely unacceptable. Because life was pretty good at this stage, wasn't it?

Compromise and muddle through are common problems shared by most living beings.

And lunatics like the Eldar seem too extreme for the rest of the world.

But at the same time.

The extreme behavior of the Eldar also made others feel that 'opening the window' was not unacceptable.

Chapter 538 The Stone Tribe Says They Will Give Up and Not Participate in the Trial

To all races in the world, the Eldar are the ones who shout "lift the roof off" and work hard to do it.

Although the Eldar's approach is not necessarily right, once the Eldar's plan is exposed, no one will object when others after the Eldar propose the plan of "opening the window".

Jiang Lin's current behavior, in a sense, is like "opening a window". It's just that due to the information gap, Tiangong Pavilion and Soul Palace don't know what the "safety clauses" on Jiang Lin are. Even after realizing that Lingjiang is already a master of refining, they will subconsciously think that Jiang Lin's double taxation method is tacitly approved by the other party.

"However, although your double taxation law has resulted in no one caring about you for some reasons, this situation will not last long. The benefits of the double taxation law are indeed considerable. It will not be completely stopped, but at most it will only be implemented in the Western Regions and will not be allowed to expand further." Looking at the pair of bright amber eyes under Jiang Lin's mask, Hun Ke'er slowly stroked the other's cheek with her fingers.

". Is there anyone who would care about me?" Jiang Lin, who half-raised his hands to prove his innocence, was slightly stunned when he heard this. How could someone dare to care about him? I'll see if he doesn't kill him with one punch! What? Fighting Saint? I'm giving you a back massage.

"Not all ethnic groups have the courage to burn their boats. Compromise, muddle along, and obedience are the norm of life." Hun Keer's fingers slowly clasped the edge of Jiang Lin's mask.

As someone who has been through this, Hun Keer understands that the current wild growth state of the 'Spirit Craftsman' will not last too long. It won't be long before people all over the continent realize that the Spirit Craftsman has broken through to the Grand Master of Weapon Refining.

why?

Because of the so-called double taxation law, any force with a little bit of weapon refining heritage can easily deduce that it is the ultimate that the spiritual craftsman has reached on a certain path. The "application technology" of the double taxation law is nothing more than the technical realization of a derivative technology of the spiritual craftsman's core technology "life weapon".

"I was dreaming of becoming the richest man in the world," Jiang Lin sighed. However, being the richest man in the Western Regions was certainly possible. Furthermore, the resources of the Western Regions alone would be enough for him to survive for decades until he reached Dou Sheng status. And once he reached Dou Sheng status, he could become one of the makers of world rules.

However, imagination is beautiful. The current priority is to get enough benefits as much as possible under the tacit approval and watchful eyes of other forces, make himself fat first, and then beat up other fat people and make them spit out some gold coins for him.

"Your dream is quite big, but with your face, it's not impossible..." As she spoke, Hun Ke'er lifted the mask on Jiang Lin's face, and then her fingers froze in mid-air.

Because beneath Jiang Lin's mask, another mask with simple lines and emojis appeared. The mask was smooth and oval in shape, with two... for eyes and a small semi-arc for a mouth.

And the most surprising thing was that Hun Ke'er also discovered that the mask with the dotted eyes, which seemed to have a soul inhabiting it, suddenly blinked at her innocently.

"." Hun Ke'er silently glanced at the extremely solemn and serious black-patterned mask in her hand, then raised her head and looked at the second 'Pei Xuan' mask on Jiang Lin's face, somewhat unwilling to believe her eyes. With a snap, Hun Ke'er calmly pasted the black-patterned mask in her hand back on Jiang Lin's face.

"I didn't expect that I also have the potential to make a living by relying on my looks?" Jiang Lin silently put on his black-patterned mask again, and looked at Hun Ke'er who was silent in front of him with a smile.

"But the identity of the spirit race is too troublesome, Jiang Lin is fine." Jiang Lin said with a smile.
