The imprint was very difficult to refine, but Jiang Chen wasn't afraid. With the Immortal Mark in his body, he could at least ensure that the opponent wouldn't be able to detect him. Plus, the dragon transformation skill was much stronger than he had imagined. He was afraid that there was nothing in the Heavens and Earth that the dragon transformation skill couldn't refine, including the imprint. Jiang Chen had been refining the imprint with the dragon transformation skill all the time. He believed that it wouldn't take him long to completely refine it.
It was noon and there were a lot of people coming and going outside Yan City. Among them, there were even some who were riding on carriages. They were dressed similar to Han Changling. They were here to exchange for Immortal Meta Stones just like Han Village. In this region of Yan City, there were many villages like Han Village.
Ordinary people would have to pay a fee to enter Yan City. According to the rules of the Prefecture, everyone who wanted to enter Yan City had to pay a low grade Immortal Meta Stone. To some of the cultivators in the remote villages, a low grade Immortal Meta Stone was like drinking blood. Therefore, no one would come to Yan City casually. A low grade Immortal Meta Stone could be used for cultivation.
However, Han Changling had a good relationship with the guards at the gate. He didn't need to pay the Immortal Meta Stone to enter Yan City.
"Chief, you are so awesome. I saw that the guard was smiling at you."
Han Cong looked at Han Changling with admiration.
"Of course, our Han Village has given countless medicinal herbs to the City Lord's Mansion over the years. I, the village chief, still have some face."
Han Changling stroked his beard and said proudly.
Yan City was bustling with activity and the streets were relatively wide. This was the first city that Jiang Chen had come to after coming to the Immortal World, but he wasn't interested in the scenery of Yan City at all. After all, he had seen a lot of things. There was nothing much to see in this small city.
It wasn't the first time for the Han villagers to come to Yan City, so they weren't as excited as before. Han Cong, on the other hand, had been looking around ever since he came in, looking at Qiaoqiao. He was in high spirits from beginning to end.
"Ah Cong, don't wander around aimlessly. Let's go to the Prefecture first. After we exchange these herbs for Immortal Meta Stones, I will bring you around Yan City."
Han Changling said.
"Alright, Chief."
Han Cong nodded.
The City Lord's Mansion was located in the center of Yan City. Han Changling was familiar with the place and soon, they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. There were many pavilions inside the City Lord's Mansion. The gate was magnificent and there was a wide square outside the gate. This was the most honorable place in Yan City. Ordinary people wouldn't even dare to go near the gate. No one would wander around here because it would be disrespectful to the City Lord's Mansion.
"What boldness."
It was Han Cong's first time coming to the City Lord's Mansion, and his eyes lit up.
"Ah Cong, don't talk nonsense."
Second Brother Han reminded. Now that they were in this place, they had to be careful with their every move. If they offended the City Lord's Mansion, the Han Village would not be able to survive in the future.
Han Cong stuck out his tongue and followed the crowd without saying a word. Han Changling strode to the gate of the City Lord Manor and cupped his fists at the guards. "Brother, we are from the Han Village, and we are here to deliver the herbs."
"En, you guys wait here. I'll inform the Chief Steward."
The guard said coldly and arrogantly, then turned and walked into the Mansion. As a guard of the Mansion, it was a kind of honor, so he naturally had the pride of the Mansion.
A moment later, a group of people walked out of the Mansion. The leader was wearing a luxurious robe. He looked to be about the same age as Han Changling. He had a fat head and big ears, and a rich face. His cultivation was similar to Han Changling, a half-step Earth Immortal.
Behind this man, there were four or five guards in uniform. None of them were weak, and the weakest among them was at the Mid Mortal Core stage.
"You are Han Changling?"
The leader looked at Han Changling with eyes full of contempt.
"That's right. These are the herbs sent by our Han Village. They are all of the best quality. May I ask why Steward Wu hasn't come out yet?"
Han Changling cupped his fists, not daring to show any neglect.
"From now on, I'll be in charge of such trivial matters. My name is Huang Liu, Steward Wu's cousin. They all call me Steward Huang."
Huang Liu said while shaking his head. When he spoke, the muscles on his face were trembling. Coupled with his innate sense of superiority and arrogance, he was a typical person that would make people feel disgusted at first glance. At least, Jiang Chen had the impulse to leave a shoe print on his fat face. "That's right. That's right.
"So you're Steward Wu's cousin. Sorry for not recognizing you. Hurry up and bring the herbs here."
Han Changling said.
The few people from Han Village drove the carriage to the front. Huang Liu tore off the cloth on the carriage, revealing the herbs inside. There were quite a lot of herbs, and just like what Han Changling said, they were all good herbs.
"Steward Huang, what do you think of these herbs?"
Han Changling said with a smile.
"En, not bad."
Huang Liu nodded, then said to a guard behind him, "Give them the Immortal Meta Stones and bring the herbs in."
"Yes, Steward."
A guard waved his hand and threw out a crude storage bag, which fell right into Han Changling's hand.
"Thank you, Steward Huang."
Han Changling first clasped his fists at Huang Liu, then habitually opened the storage bag to have a look. The moment he saw the contents, his expression changed.
"Steward Huang, this isn't right."
Han Changling said with a frown.
"What's wrong?"
Huang Liu said impatiently.
"In the past, the same herbs were worth a hundred low grade Immortal Meta Stones. Why is it only fifty this time?"
Han Changling said.
"These things are only worth this much. Hurry up and leave."
Huang Liu waved his hand impatiently at Han Changling.
"Steward Huang, it wasn't easy for us to come here. In the past, Steward Wu would only give us a hundred Immortal Meta Stones. Now, it's half of it. I won't be able to explain this to the villagers. These herbs are the collective effort of the villagers."
Han Changling was infuriated, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.
"It's your business whether you want to explain or not. Now that I'm in charge of these things, it's fifty Immortal Meta Stones."
Huang Liu sneered.
"Steward Huang, if you do this, who will send herbs to the Prefecture in the future? The way I see it, the remaining fifty Immortal Meta Stones were taken away by your customers, right? "
Huang Cong was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore. He was young and frivolous. Even if he was angry, he had to show it on his face.
"Kid, who do you think you are? You're just a lowly commoner. How dare you talk to the steward like this? Do you believe that I'll break one of your legs just because of this sentence?"
One of the guards said fiercely to Han Cong.
Han Cong still wanted to say something, but he was pulled back by two villagers. This was the Prefecture. If they caused trouble here, it wouldn't end well for them. The current situation was obvious. This new steward was clearly trying to embezzle their Immortal Meta Stones, but they could only swallow their anger and didn't dare to resist because they didn't have the capital to do so.
"He's a lowly commoner? Then who do you think you are? I think you're just a pug. "
Right at this moment, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded out. Not only were the people from the Mayor's Mansion startled, even the people from the Han village were startled. Everyone's eyes fell onto one man at the same time, and that man was the one who spoke. He was Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was a person who knew how to repay kindness. The villagers of Han Village had done him a favor. How could he watch the villagers of Han Village being bullied by others? These villagers had gone through untold hardships to gather these herbs. One could only imagine how difficult it must have been for them to cultivate. Now, half of their Immortal Meta Stones had been deducted. This fat and big-eared bastard was truly a bastard.
"Kid, what did you say?"
The guard glared at Jiang Chen, seemingly about to charge forward and shred Jiang Chen into a thousand pieces.
"Jiang Brother, don't talk nonsense. Let's go."
Han Changling was shocked. He hastily pulled Jiang Chen back. This was the Prefecture, an existence that they couldn't afford to offend. If an ascendant like Jiang Chen offended the Prefecture, he wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life in the future.
"Chief, some animals can't be fed to their fill. Even if you endure it this time, there will be a next time. Although Han Village isn't strong, it has its own dignity."
Jiang Chen said. Some things could be ignored, but some things must be intervened. Moreover, the matter of Han Village was no longer a trivial matter to him. They might be afraid of the Prefecture, but he, Jiang Chen, wasn't. In this world, there was no existence that could make Jiang Chen afraid.
"Kid, who are you calling an animal?!"
Huang Liu was infuriated. He had already turned his body away, but now, he was on the verge of rebelling. In Yan City, no one had ever dared to insult him like this.
"You can't even tell what I'm talking about? Seems like there's something wrong with your IQ."
Jiang Chen's tone wasn't polite at all. He never knew how to be polite to people like Huang Liu.
"Courting death."
An intermediate Human Immortal guard strode towards Jiang Chen and raised his hand to slap Jiang Chen's face.
* Pa! *
An incomparably crisp slap was heard. The one who was slapped wasn't Jiang Chen, but the guard. Despite being so close to the guard, Han Changling didn't even see how Jiang Chen did it. A mid Human Immortal expert was slapped to the ground. "That's right. That's right.
"How dare you attack me with your level? Scram!"
Jiang Chen kicked the guard, sending him flying a few meters away. The guard was groaning on the ground, half of his face was swollen.
"Brother Jiang is so powerful."
