Chapter 425: Entrance Charge (1)
 

Obviously, in the eyes of most of the cultivators on Wuyang Peak, Zhu Wuyang’s actions were a little too foolish and a little too whimsical.

There had never been such a precedent in Nine Dragon Mountain and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. Since the cultivators in the past had never done it before, it was obvious that this path would not work. How could it compare to him personally going down and plundering a large number of resources and treasures to obtain most of the good things?

Under normal circumstances, according to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect’s rules, the disciples of the sect had to pay a 30% tax on a newly opened treasure land like the Endless Snake Marsh. If the disciples of other mountain ranges went in to plunder resources and treasures, they had to pay a 50% tax.

These taxes were divided into two portions. One-fifth of them belonged to Zhu Wuwan, and the other four-fifths belonged to the sect.

Therefore, even if cultivators from other mountain ranges went in to search for resources and treasures, Zhu Wuwan would only be able to obtain one-tenth of them.

However, if the forces of Wuyang Peak went in to plunder, they would only have to pay 2.5% of the sect’s tax, and the remaining 7.5% would belong to Zhu Wuyang and Wuyang Peak.

What an astonishing ratio!

Moreover, when they first started to plunder the Endless Snake Marsh, there were the most resources and treasures inside. Naturally, they could obtain the most resources and wealth from it.

In the past, those factions and individuals from the Thousand Poisons Sect who had the chance to obtain a new treasure land would first plunder their own people. Only after they had looted most of the good things that were easy to plunder would they allow other cultivators to enter.

Originally, the cultivators of Wuyang Peak thought that Zhu Wuyang would do the same. However, they did not expect Zhu Wuyang to make such a choice.

Wasn’t this clearly giving away a large number of treasures?

The cultivators of Wuwan Peak were extremely puzzled. Even the six ministers were silent after learning about this. However, because Zhu Wuwan had just ascended the throne not long ago and was currently in high spirits, and the six departments ‘system had also shown its initial power, no one spoke up to refute it for the time being.

They also wanted to see if Zhu Wuyang’s plan would work, or rather, let Zhu Wuyang suffer some losses first, so that they could persuade Zhu Wuyang later on and stop him from doing some thankless actions.

Youngsters are not mature enough!

Although they were puzzled by Zhu Wuyang’s actions, no one refuted Zhu Wuyang’s decision. Even the few perfected Soul Formation cultivators compromised.

Soon, the news of Zhu Wanhao opening the Endless Snake Marsh and allowing all the cultivators of Nine Dragon Mountain to go to the Endless Snake Marsh to pick up the first batch of treasures spread throughout the entire Nine Dragon Mountain.

Not only that, but Zhu Wanhao had also spent a huge amount of manpower and resources to specially produce guides to guide all the cultivators of Nine Dragon Mountain on how to better obtain the treasures and resources in the Endless Snake Marsh.

Moreover, these guides were free. As long as one went to the Endless Snake Marsh, they could receive the corresponding guides from the Endless Underground Palace and then enter the Endless Snake Marsh to search for treasures.

All the resources obtained from the Endless Snake Marsh only needed to pay the taxes stipulated by the sect. Moreover, the disciples of Nine Dragon Mountain were given preferential treatment. They only needed to pay 30% of the harvest.

Not only that, but the Endless Underground Palace also provided a safe residence for all Nine Dragon Mountain disciples in the protective array formation. When they returned from the Endless Snake Marsh, they could rest in these residences. They only needed to pay a small accommodation fee, so they did not have to worry about safety anymore.

In order to attract more disciples of Nine Dragon Mountain to the Endless Snake Marsh, the forces of Wuyang Peak didn’t even plunder the first batch of resources and treasures in the Endless Snake Marsh. They were just waiting to buy a horse’s bone with a thousand gold coins and allow the disciples of Nine Dragon Mountain to go and plunder the resources and treasures.

For a moment, the entire Nine Dragon Mountain was in an uproar.

” Are you telling the truth? Is the Third Prince really willing to make the Endless Snake Marsh public and let us Nine Dragon Mountain cultivators go there to search for treasures? He even provided so many conveniences. He’s not playing with us, is he? Under normal circumstances, the first batch of explorers of a treasure land with rich resources like the Endless Snake Marsh is usually the owner of the treasure land. Is Zhu Wuwan so generous? ”

” It must be true. The notice has already been posted on Wuyan Peak. Do you think it’s fake? The cultivators of Nine Dragon Mountain only need to pay 30% of the normal tax, and we can plunder all kinds of treasures and resources in the Endless Snake Marsh. You have to know that the Endless Snake Marsh has never been plundered before. If we go, we will be the first batch of pioneers. We will definitely get the most benefits. ”

” What are we waiting for? Let’s go to the Endless Snake Marsh now. Such a good opportunity is right in front of us. It’s rare for the high and mighty Crown Prince to lose his mind. If we don’t grasp it well, we’ll regret it for the rest of our lives. Let’s hurry up and set off. ”

” It’s said that if the cultivators from the other mountain ranges of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect want to search for treasures and resources in the Endless Snake Marsh, they have to pay 50% of the normal tax and also buy tickets. What’s this ticket? Why haven’t I heard of it before? Could it be something created by Wuyang Peak? ”

..

According to the rules of the Thousand Poisons Sect, cultivators of the mountain range only needed to pay 30% of the tax to the mountain range when they went in to plunder resources and treasures.

However, although cultivators from other mountain ranges could enter and plunder resources and treasures, they had to pay 50% of the tax.

As for the cultivators outside who did not belong to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, they still needed to see the owner of the treasure land if they wanted to enter. Even if the owner of the treasure land allowed them to enter, they often had to pay about 70% of the tax. It could be said that they had to pay more taxes.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the cultivators of a certain mountain range would search for resources and wealth in the treasure land of their own mountain range. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not easily go to the treasure land of other mountain ranges.

The tax policy formulated by Zhu Wuyang was definitely a little too exaggerated on Earth, but it wasn’t excessive at all here. It could even be considered welfare. After all, Zhu Wuyang had provided them with so much convenience.

To be honest, when Zhu Wuwan first learned about the tax rules of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, she was dumbfounded. She didn’t expect the tax here to be so heavy.

However, as he slowly got used to it, he gradually didn’t feel that way anymore. After all, Zhu Wuyang was now a part of the hierarchy with a lot of benefits.

If the taxes weren’t harsh enough, how could Zhu Wuyang earn so much profit? Half of the taxes in Dragon Flame Grotto belonged to him.

If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t easily change the tax ratio, Zhu Wuyan would have really wanted to adjust the tax for entering the Endless Snake Marsh.

Even so, Zhu Wuwan still found a loophole. Since he couldn’t increase the tax rate, he could increase his income from other aspects.

That was the ticket!

Naturally, he could give preferential treatment to the cultivators of Nine Dragon Mountain. He was one of them. If he went overboard, what would the higher-ups think of him?

However, he could be a little more ruthless to the cultivators of the other mountain ranges. Zhu Wuwan didn’t depend on them for a living. Moreover, as the owner of the Endless Snake Marsh, Zhu Wuwan had the right to temporarily seal off the Endless Snake Marsh and only allow the cultivators of Nine Dragon Mountain to enter.

Now that Zhu Wuyang had opened the door and allowed them to enter as long as they paid an additional ticket fee, could they still be dissatisfied?

The sea is full of rivers!

Most importantly, the entrance fee shouldn’t be included in taxes, so all the entrance fees collected by Zhu Wuyang belonged to her.

As for the entrance fee, it was actually not expensive. One low-grade spirit stone for a Aura Refining cultivator, ten low-grade spirit stones for a Foundation Building cultivator, one hundred low-grade spirit stones for a Golden Core cultivator, one thousand low-grade spirit stones for a Nascent Soul cultivator, ten thousand low-grade spirit stones for a Soul Formation cultivator, and one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones for a Void Training Stage giant…

One only needed to buy a ticket to plunder resources and wealth for a month in the treasure land of the Endless Snake Marsh. Such a cheap and affordable price was not to be missed!

To be honest, if it wasn’t for the fact that he wanted to win over the hearts of the people and get more Nine Dragon Mountain cultivators to join Zhu Wuyan, Zhu Wuyan would have wanted to collect tickets from the cultivators of Nine Dragon Mountain as well.

However, just the entrance fees paid by the cultivators from the other mountain ranges were enough for Zhu Wuyan to make a fortune.
