Chapter 122: Star Guards, Purchasing Spiritual Lands
Chapter 122: Star Guard Purchases Spiritual Land
"You can leave a spiritual mark on it." The old man narrowed his eyes and said calmly.
"good......"
After a while, it was finally Chu Chen's turn. Chu Chen looked at the black-robed old man in front of him for a moment.
After building up his later cultivation level, there was one thing worth paying attention to. It was a golden sign on the old man's waist, with the word "star" vaguely engraved on it.
This old man in black robe is probably the so-called star guard.
"What are you looking at? Tell me your name!" Seeing Chu Chen staring at him, the old man snorted with an unkind expression.
"Chu Chen."
Chu Chen's mouth curved, his smile looked evil, and he met the old man's gaze.
The old man in black robes felt a thump in his heart, and was suddenly startled. The aura of the young monk in front of him gave him a faint sense of intimidation.
This feeling is actually very similar to the feeling of facing high-level monsters!
I should have been angry, but I found that I couldn't arouse my anger. Instead, I felt more awe-inspiring.
The black-robed old man's eyes twitched and he did not dare to meet Chu Chen's cold and sharp gaze. He coughed and hurriedly looked away from Chu Chen and made a few strokes on the yellow jade slip.
"You... leave the imprint of your spiritual consciousness on this jade slip." The content of the black-robed old man's words remained unchanged, but his confidence unknowingly weakened.
Chu Chen took the yellow jade slip, and his spiritual consciousness seeped into it, carving the mark of his spiritual consciousness. In this way, the registration was completed.
"Fellow Taoist, I wonder when the battle for the Star Guards will begin." Chu Chen asked the black-robed old man with a smile on his face.
The old man continued calmly: "Half a month later, at the beginning of the morning, Tianyuan City Star Observation Deck."
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for informing me." Chu Chen replied calmly and walked out.
Seeing this, the monks in the hall were a little surprised. The old man in black robes in front of him was not a simple man. He basically ignored the questions he asked. Unexpectedly, he answered Chu Chen at this moment, which was a question that almost everyone knew.
For a moment, Chu Chen attracted strange looks from all the monks.
Then, it was Liu Xiao's turn. The old man glanced at Chu Chen, and he felt that this man was really unusual, and he remembered Chu Chen's appearance.
"Next."
Liu Xiao immediately stepped forward.
Seeing Chu Chen waiting aside, keeping his eyes on the female cultivator in front of him, the old man seemed to know that Chu Chen and Liu Xiao had a close relationship. His words were calm, but he was no longer as cold as before.
After carving the mark of spiritual consciousness, Liu Xiao walked out, looked at each other, and the two walked out of the hall.
The two completed the Star Guardian registration and waited half a month before holding a Star Guardian Battle at the Tianyuan City Observatory. This Star Guardian Battle happens every two years.
Although the Star Guard Competition is held relatively frequently, it also attracts countless monks to sign up, and the scene is extremely heated.
Of course, there are no protective measures in this battle for the Star Guards. It is common for monks to fight for their lives. The scenes can sometimes be extremely bloody, and there are many people who have died.
Only those monks who think they are powerful will participate in the selection of Star Guards. The competition for Star Guards is a knockout competition with no rules and regulations. All you have to do is defeat the opponent, no matter how insidious it is, the winner will be the winner.
Qualify to advance to the next round of battle.
High cultivation level does not mean high strength. In previous star guard selections, there are many people who defeated the late-stage monks with their mid-stage foundation building cultivation. Magical weapons and talismans are also key means of victory.
Chu Chen was not worried about the star guard selection. Naturally, he had strong confidence. He and Liu Xiaoding stood out and were selected as star guards.
No one knows the strength of himself and Liu Xiao better than him. If the two of them join forces, even the Golden Core Stage monks can probably deal with them for a while. How can they care about these little Foundation Establishment stage monks.
Playful applause is the best way to describe it.
I think back then, I and Liu Xiao were the most feared and admired twin evil spirits on Fengnan Island. One day, the two of them would also become famous as the twin evil spirits on this Yunjing Island.
The Star Observation Deck is the largest building in Tianyuan City, and this star guard battle also attracts a large number of monks, whether they are Qi Condensation Stage monks or Foundation Establishment Stage monks, all come here to watch the battle.
It is an extremely lively event, and the names of those selected as Star Guard monks will also be remembered by the monks in Tianyuan City, which is regarded as a symbol of strength.
On Yunjing Island, the strength of the Star Guards is second only to the Golden Core cultivators.
Even on second-level islands, it is extremely rare to see Golden Core monks. In Tianyuan City, more than 99% of the monks are at the Foundation Establishment stage or below.
The number of golden elixir monks is really pitiful, and any golden elixir monk has the ability to dominate a party.
Chu Chen and Liu Xiao left the Star Palace Chamber of Commerce.
It was almost dusk, and before they knew it, the two of them stayed in the chamber of commerce for most of the day.
"Where are we going now?" After walking out of the door, Chu Chen asked Liu Xiao.
"Let's find a place to stay first. We have to have a place to live." Liu Xiao sighed lightly.
It has been five or six days since the two of them were teleported to Yunjing Island. During this time, they have encountered a lot of troubles, big and small, which are quite troublesome and a little tiring both physically and mentally.
"Let's fly to the north of Tianyuan City first. Let me think about it... After leaving Tianyuan City, there seems to be someone renting out the north side." Liu Xiaoqing held her forehead and tried to recall.
The memories of the monks in my mind are rather vague, and these are the only things I can think of, and this seems to be the case vaguely.
Chu Chen nodded, and the two of them fled towards the north. As they looked, there were several high mountains standing in the north, shrouded in light mist and green into the clouds. Looking at it like this, it really seemed like a mountain range for selling spiritual land.
The so-called spiritual places refer to those places filled with spiritual energy, usually on high mountains with dense spiritual energy.
After some sects, families, or forces occupy the mountains, the unused mountains become rental places for spiritual lands. Casual cultivators without any sects only need to pay some spiritual stones as a rental fee to obtain them.
A spiritual place.
In some high-end places, the spiritual land is directly opened into a cave, and the monks directly rent the cave. This is much more convenient, but the price is also much higher.
Whether it is a spiritual land or a cave, due to the competition from a large number of unsectarian cultivators, the rental price is always high but not low.
Chu Chen and Liu Xiao flew north for a while, then lowered their escape light and walked towards a building in front of them.
The building is very simple, neither big nor small, and is no different from an ordinary house. There is a golden plaque on the top with the four simple and clear words "Lease Land". It seems that the shopkeeper here is quite interesting.
There is also a huge jade sign on the right side of the house, and a large group of monks are surrounding it, either stopping to watch or pointing.
There are two monks under the jade sign, and they seem to be talking about something with the monks gathered around them.
But there is not a single monk around the house. There are only two people, Chu Chen and Liu Xiao. It seems that all the monks are avoiding this place intentionally or unintentionally. Except for Chu Chen and Liu Xiao, no outsiders have set foot within ten feet.
This made Chu Chen a little confused. When he saw a gatekeeper outside the house, Chu Chen and Liu Xiao were walking toward the house, he looked surprised, and then walked towards the two of them.
"Two fellow Taoists, please stay. The house in front is where the master retreats. Outsiders, please take a detour to avoid it!"
The person speaking was dressed in white, with white hair. He looked young, very handsome, with cold eyebrows and bright starry eyes, giving people a strong feeling.
That cold and stern expression, and his temperament are somewhat similar to Chu Chen's, and even his appearance is similar.
Like them, this person is also in the late stage of foundation building, but he gives off a very unusual aura. This person is very strong and is not an easy person.
"Owner?"
Chu Chen was a little stunned. A monk in the late stage of foundation building could be called the master. Could it be that the person in retreat in this house is a monk in the golden elixir stage? Chu Chen thought to himself.
He also didn’t release his spiritual awareness. If not, it would be bad to make others unhappy.
It's about the Golden Core cultivator, so it's better for the two of them to get less involved.
Liu Xiao clasped his fists slightly and said, "Sorry, we don't mean to disturb anyone. We just heard that there is a spiritual place for sale here. I don't know where it is for sale. Please let me know a few things."
"It's over there."
The white-haired young man pointed to the jade sign in front of him and spoke softly.
"Thank you!" Chu Chen clasped his fists.
The two of them walked towards the front right. When the white-haired young man saw Chu Chen and Liu Xiao leaving, he immediately walked back to the door of the house, sat down and meditated.
A large group of monks were gathered under the giant jade sign, numbering no less than thirty or forty, and there were two monks in front of them at a distance. The two monks were discussing something with some people.
"Fellow Taoist, I want to rent the 134th spiritual land. Can you see if it can be a little cheaper..."
"Yes, it's a bit expensive. If I can get a 10% discount, I would like to rent it for a few more years. You see, fellow Taoist..."
"This is really too expensive. This fellow Taoist would like to ask..."
A large group of monks were haggling under the two monks directly in front, which gave the two monks a headache.
"The Lingdi Cave Mansion we sell here all has a unified price. As for the number of spiritual stones, it is decided by my master. It is useless to tell me. We refuse to bargain here. If you want to negotiate the price again, please go elsewhere!
"One of the monks in white said unceremoniously.
Another monk couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. It was really annoying to have such a group of monks bargaining every time.
When the monks below him heard the word "master", their expressions changed and their voices suddenly became quieter. Some of the monks shook their heads and left with a sigh because they were unable to pay the high rental fee.
There were still some monks who had enough spiritual stones, so they discussed with the two monks to get up spiritually.
After selecting the spiritual land and paying the spiritual stones, one of the white-clothed monks cast a spell on the jade sign on it and carved a divine mark, thus completing the transaction.
Chu Chen, Liu Xiao and the others walked forward, paused for a while, and realized that this was the place where spirits were being sold. Chu Chen directly said to the monk in white: "Fellow Taoist, we want to buy the place of spirits!
"
The white-clothed monk looked at Chu Chen and Liu Xiao, and his expression moved slightly. The cultivation level in the late stage of foundation building was very rare. He was a little surprised. Then he nodded, pointed to the giant jade tablet in the air in front of him, and said lightly: "Spiritual Land
The location and price are all written on it. If you, the Taoist friend, likes that piece of spiritual land, just let me know."

After saying this, Chu Chen immediately released his spiritual consciousness and looked at the jade tablet. It showed the location, size, etc. of the spiritual places in the mountains, as well as several caves. Chu Chen looked at it for a while, and then selected one.
