"In the whole Stanley City, I know which houses are good and which houses are bad. I am the most knowledgeable about this matter. Soon you will understand that your spiritual stone will not be wasted!" the old cultivator said with a smile.
"I would also like to ask fellow Taoist to take more care of my little brother."
Along the way, Chen Li deliberately made friends with him, kept his attitude low, and gave a few compliments from time to time.
After going back and forth, the old cultivator became closer to Chen Li and unknowingly got a lot of information out of him.
The old cultivator's surname is Wei and his given name is Changming. He is in the middle stage of foundation construction and is over two hundred years old. He is one of the deacons of the Fire Cloud Sect in Stanley City. There are thirty-eight such deacons in the entire Stanley City.
, there is also an elder who is in the late Jindan stage and is stationed here.
Stanley City is the most important source of wealth for the Fire Cloud Sect, and the amount of spiritual stones it earns every year is the equivalent of a truck load.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an endless spiritual stone mine.
In addition, there is a mixture of fish and dragons here, and the golden elixir passing by is like a crucian carp crossing the river.
It is also appropriate to send an elder from the late Jindan stage to guard this place.
As for the entire Huoyun Sect, it has been established for more than two thousand years. There is one Yuanying and twenty-one Jindan elders. It has no plan to build a foundation. In the entire Wild West, it is an unquestionable super sect with a transcendent status.
"This was originally the house of a foundation-building casual cultivator. Unfortunately, it has disappeared for almost 30 years. It is most likely dead. The house was just renovated last year. Everything is new. How about going in and taking a look, Brother Daoist Chen.
." Wei Changming said, pointing to a large house.
"Didn't this fellow Taoist leave any wives, concubines, or children?" Chen Li asked with some confusion.
"What you don't know is that the houses here cannot be inherited or bought and sold privately. If the owner dies or has been vacant for more than twenty years, it will be taken back unconditionally." Wei Changming explained.
"I see!"
Chen Li couldn't help but understand.
No wonder, Huoyun Sect still has houses for sale.
This is collecting money one after another.
Even if they are foundation-building, they can live more than a hundred years longer than ordinary people. In fact, most of them die suddenly before they reach their final years.
In the end, the house still belonged to the Huoyun Sect.
Chen Li went in and took a look. The house covers a large area, estimated to be more than six acres. It is divided into two courtyards, an inner one, separated by a wall. The inner courtyard is used for living, and almost all the open space in the outer courtyard has been reclaimed into medicinal fields.
Fragrant and fragrant.
Chen Li was very satisfied with everything.
The only drawback is that it is too close to the river.
There is a river in Stanley City, which just passes through Stanley City in the middle, dividing Stanley City into two.
Therefore, Stanley City is divided into South City and North City.
Various ships on the river flow continuously every day, making it very lively and noisy.
Of course, it's just fun.
As long as the formation is set up, no matter how lively it is, it will not reach the inside of the house.
The key is that the soil here is a good humus layer. The soil is soft and not sticky. The key is that it is close to the river... it is not easy to dig holes.
Even if it manages to work, I'm afraid there will be serious water leakage.
There is no underground shelter, and there are only a few escape routes.
Can this house be lived in comfortably?
With his more than ten years of living experience in this world, being more cautious can sometimes be the difference between life and death!
Next, Chen Li looked at several more places, and finally selected a house near the suburbs of the city.
First of all, this place is far away from several major traffic thoroughfares, and there are not many people. There are also some foundation-building and Qi-training monks living nearby, so there is no risk in terms of safety, and it is only two miles away from the city gate, just in case anything goes wrong.
It is harmonious and convenient to escape.
Secondly, the ground here is solid and there are rocks underneath.
According to Wei Changming, there was originally a hill here. When building the city, local materials were used and the hill was bulldozed.
Thirdly, the price is relatively cheap.
The total size of the house is seven acres.
The price is only fifty-two high-grade spiritual stones.
And a house of the same size in the center of the city would cost at least a hundred high-grade spiritual stones and upwards.
After that, I handed over the spirit stone and went through the formalities.
This house became Chen Li's first residence in the world. Before that, he either rented a house or lived in Shanmen.
Chen Li opened the door and admired the plants and trees here. This feeling was completely different from when he saw each other before!
Everything here now belongs to him.
The appearance of this house is no worse than the previous ones. It has a green lake, ancient trees, and graceful corridors. It is obvious that the original owner of this house spent a lot of thought when he first purchased it.
Reflecting elegance and leisure.
…
If you have a house, you no longer need to waste money by staying in an inn.
In the afternoon of that day, Chen Li checked out of the house and the group moved to the newly purchased house.
Next, we cleaned up and bought bedding and other daily necessities, not to mention. Everyone was so busy all day that their feet couldn’t touch the ground. When it was almost nightfall, the Yin Yang and Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation was also re-erected by Chen Li
Get up and isolate yourself from inside and outside.
Having just had dinner, Chen Li was preparing to go shopping around and familiarize himself with the environment.
The formation control token in his arms suddenly trembled slightly. This was a visitor.
Chen Li quickly stood up, went out to greet him, and opened the formation.
The person who came was a middle-aged foundation-building monk with a goatee. His face was pure and elegant, which made people fall in love with him at first sight.
"I don't know that when distinguished guests come, they are not greeted at a distance and are often neglected." Chen Li said politely.
"Hahaha, it was me who disturbed fellow Taoist. I live nearby. I saw fellow Taoist moving in today. I thought that we would be neighbors in the future, so I came to visit. I apologize if I am rude."
…
After some polite exchanges, Chen Li welcomed the guest into the living room.
This Zhuji's surname is Lin Mingqing, and he moved here only a few years ago.
Perhaps the conversation was speculative, and the topic inevitably became more in-depth.
"I think I was originally a disciple of the sect. Unfortunately, there were unforeseen circumstances. Unfortunately, the sect was destroyed a few years ago. Only a few of my fellow sects such as myself managed to escape with our lives and had to live here." Speaking of this matter, Lin
Qing still had an angry look on his face.
The sect is destroyed!
years ago!
Chen Li's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and his heart was lifted.
Couldn't it be the remnants of the disappeared Tianxing Sect?
The time is absolutely right.
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
"My condolences, fellow Taoist, let the past go by, people have to look forward." Chen Li hurriedly advised.
When will injustice be repaid?
Now that the Huozhen Sect has also been destroyed, the other party should be able to give up their hatred... right!
"Alas, the world is like this, and I have looked away from it all these years. By the way, why are fellow Taoists here?" Lin Qing asked with a smile.
"I'm different from fellow Taoists. I come here because of its reputation. A casual cultivator like me who has no roots and no background, doesn't want to join any forces, and still has extravagant hopes for the Tao, so I can only come here."
…
Chen Li sent Lin Qing away and closed the door.
I couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh! It's troublesome."
I remember there were five people in this group, but I don’t know their cultivation level.
But there is probably someone in the later stage of foundation building among them.
In order to encircle and suppress this group of people, most of the entire Huanzhen Sect was mobilized to build their foundations. As a result, they worked hard for half a year, but in the end no trace was caught.
"I have to warn my wives, concubines, and maids later not to reveal the origins and identities of my group, otherwise we will be in big trouble." Chen Li frowned and thought to himself.
