Zhou Hong snuggled lazily in Chen Li's arms, looked at her man with watery eyes, and said softly: "I don't see other casual cultivators having the best magic weapon in Green River Square. I think it's very expensive.
Don’t buy it for me again in the future!”
"It's not that expensive. It only cost 25 medium-grade spiritual stones. What's more, you can't save money on such a protective item. No matter how much money you have, you have to buy it!" Chen Li kept sliding his hand up and down and said:
"Although it looks safe here, there will be a lot of darkness in the shadows. You still have to pay attention to what you should pay attention to."
Compared to Green River Fang, the situation here is even more complicated.
The Changsheng Sect, the Foundation Establishment Family, and various external forces are mixed together... Although the war is over, no one can predict what the future will be like.
But no matter what, he would rather stay here than stay in the sinking ship in Green River Fang.
I just hope it can be peaceful for a few years.
Wait until he...builds the foundation.
At this time, he heard familiar footsteps, walking towards this direction: "Zhang Yan should come to me, you can continue to rest!"
Chen Li had no choice but to put on his clothes, tidy up his appearance, and take a cleansing charm for himself to remove the odor, then opened the door and came out.
Zhang Yan came over worriedly: "Fellow Daoist Chen, get up. I just went out to find out. The rent in Luanluocheng is so expensive!"
Chen Li asked: "How much is the rent?"
"If you want to live in Luanluo City, you have to pay the rent of one medium-grade spiritual stone a year. Even for a house at the foot of the mountain, you have to pay thirty low-grade spiritual stones a year!"
Chen Li couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Zhang Yan's tone and demeanor made him think it was expensive.
Not counting those unused magic weapons, he still has 145 middle-grade spiritual stones left in his savings, which can last for more than a hundred years.
"After all, this is Luanluo City, a first-order spiritual land. The rent is still acceptable. As a Talisman Master, you don't have this little money on hand, right?"
"I have some savings, but the price of talismans here is too low. I have inquired about it. A light body talisman can only be sold for a low-grade spiritual stone. Life will be difficult in the future." Zhang Yan sighed.
Chen Li, who is wealthy and can draw high-value amulets, also sighed: "Yes, there are too many colleagues here."
The two couldn't help but look at each other.
…
Had lunch.
Zhao Lin invited the steward from Luanluocheng who was responsible for renting houses.
"You want to rent a house? Then you have hit a good time." Seeing someone wanting to rent a house, the elderly manager smiled broadly: "In the past, if you wanted to settle here, there wouldn't be so many houses to choose from.
."
Over the past year or so, there have been attacks from the three surrounding sects, the fall of the Jindan ancestor, and then there has been another rebellion.
Luanluo City became quite depressed, and many casual cultivators fled the place.
As a result, there are too many vacant rooms.
"Then please take a hard trip, Manager Luo, and show us a good look!" Chen Li took out an amulet, stuffed it into the opponent's hand, and cupped it.
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Manager Luo glanced at it, then quickly stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, with an even bigger smile on his face:
"I just like sensible people. Although Luanluo City is a place of first-level spiritual energy, the same level of spiritual energy can be strong or weak. Of course, many good positions have long been occupied by the foundation-building families in the city, but there are also some left.
I won’t tell most people about it.”
Everyone showed joy.
Next, the old steward took a group of people to see the house.
Unlike the dilapidated shanty towns in Green River Square, the houses here are in better shape than Green River Square. Of course, relatively speaking, most of the houses are only slightly better, neither antique nor decorated.
It can only be said to be simple.
But there is one good thing.
The area occupied is not small.
Each household has a yard of half an acre, and the distance between households is at least five or six meters, and at most more than ten meters.
It can make future developers cry.
And this is already much more crowded than the shanty town of Green River Square.
"Manager Luo, he's showing someone the house again."
"Yes, yes, fellow Daoist Wang, are you ready to go out?"
"I made an appointment with fellow Taoist Zhang to go on a trip!"
"You have to be careful, it's not peaceful recently."
The old steward walked through the streets and alleys, and people greeted him from time to time. He held hands all the way without stopping. Sometimes he would stop and chat with people for a minute or two when he met someone he knew well. Chen Li and others had no choice but to wait.
.
After one hour.
The old steward finally stopped.
"This is it. This is a good place. A few steps away from here is the Lingxi River. Do you know where the Lingxi River flows from? It comes from the third-level spiritual land. This house is on the edge of the Lingxi River.
The aura is naturally richer than other places!" The old steward said with a smile:
"You guys can feel it, is there any truth to what I said?"
Chen Li ran the technique and felt it was a little stronger, so he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Manager Luo, for taking care of me. Let's keep it here."
There are many empty houses in this area.
There are many options to choose from.
Chen Li chose a set that was satisfactory in all aspects and handed over the spirit stone.
The old steward took out a pen and account book to register the information, and then took out a token made of unknown material and wrote down the address of the house and the year and month of renting the house. He handed it to Chen Li and babbled:
"You must take this thing with you, and replace it in time if it is lost. Alas, some people like to take advantage of loopholes and live in secretly when they see a lot of vacant rooms. The inspections have been strict recently. It will be more troublesome if they can't get it out when the inspection comes.
Already."
Chen Li took the token, glanced at it, and put it into his storage bag using the cover of his cuffs.
"Where are you guys? Is there anyone you like?" The old steward looked at the others.
"I'll choose that one!" Zhang Yan said. Unfortunately, there were no vacant houses on both sides, so he had to choose a house nearby. Fortunately, it was only a few houses and a few steps away.
Zhao Lin, Gu Mengqing and others didn't have many spiritual stones at hand, but in the end they gritted their teeth and endured the physical pain to hand over the spiritual stones and settled down nearby. They were not yet in their twilight years and still had prospects for the future.
This first-level spiritual land is undoubtedly of great benefit to cultivation.
I really don’t want to live at the foot of the mountain among the down-and-out monks.
Next, the group went back to their respective homes.
…
"Are we going to live here from now on?"
A thick layer of dust accumulated inside the house, which was in a mess. All kinds of furniture, tables and chairs were lying on the floor, but the excitement of the two people did not diminish at all.
"Yes, this will be our new home from now on!" Chen Li also sighed.
"Thinking about it is like a dream. This is Luanluo City, where the Changsheng Sect is. I thought I would stay in Green River Square for the rest of my life." Zhou Hong murmured.
Chen Li gently hugged Zhou Hong: "Don't worry, things will get better and better in the future."
"Yeah!" Zhou Hong said, buried in Chen Li's arms.
Chen Li and Zhou Hong didn't go anywhere all afternoon.
Just tidy up the house.
During this period, dozens of cleaning charms were used, and the inventory was completely exhausted. The dust swept out could fill several dustpans. Looking at the brand-new house that had been cleaned again, Chen Li felt a sincere sense of satisfaction.
In the evening, Chen Li brought another gift (a guiding sign) and visited the neighbors and neighbors, finally settling down here.
Just returned home.
Zhang Yan came to the door with a stack of thick quilts in his hands.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you haven't bought a bedding yet, right? I just happened to have a lot!"
"I thought I would make do with it tonight and go shopping tomorrow, but I didn't expect that Taoist friend Zhang would deliver it in person. Thank you, I won't tell you. How much did it cost? I'll give you the money." Chen Li said quickly.
"No, no, it's not worth much. The worldly things here are very cheap. I bought three sets for one tael of gold. I still have money to find. I just need to go to the foot of the mountain to buy." Zhang Yan said, compared to Green River
The prices here are really cheap.
Even the talismans are cheap.
"Isn't there anything sold in the city?" Chen Li asked Zhang Yan as he took the quilt and handed it to Zhou Hong.
"Oh, I've asked about the stall fee for setting up a stall here, which is the price of a low-grade spiritual stone. I've never heard of this stall fee. How can these vendors who sell worldly things have so much money to pay?
"Zhang Yan sighed.
Living in Luanluo City is not easy.
Asking for money everywhere.
It's so difficult.
From now on, you have to live a tight life, otherwise you will have to make ends meet.
"This is a bit troublesome... By the way, I don't have many talisman skins on hand, and I'm about to buy some. When will you have them in stock?" Chen Li said.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but perked up after hearing this: "How much do you want?"
Chen Li hasn't bought talisman skins from him for a long time.
This extra income was dispensable before, but now it has become impossible to ignore.
"Let's make a total of six hundred," Chen Li said.
"I can't take out so much at once. If you are not in a hurry, I can give you one hundred and fifty first, and then I will give you the rest after half a month!" Zhang Yan then explained:
"Those animal skins are too heavy, so I left them at Green River Fang. Now I don't have any semi-finished animal skins on hand. I have to purchase and make them again. It will take some time."
"No problem." Chen Li said.
"Then I will bring it to you now."
"No need to be in such a hurry."
"It's okay, it's just a few steps away."
No matter what Chen Li tried to persuade, Zhang Yan left in a hurry and quickly brought the talisman back.
…
night.
The flames as big as oil lamp beans kept jumping.
Chen Li picked up a book "Commonly Used Techniques During the Qi Training Period of Changsheng Sect" and flipped through the pages.
Level one level of cleaning skills;
First-level far-sighted technique;
Level one level of deworming;
Level one flying throwing technique;
Level 1 and Level 2 beast-repelling skills;
Level 1 and Level 2 Earth Hearing Technique;
First- and third-level plague-repelling techniques;
The first and third level flash technique;
Level 1 and 4 evil-proofing spells;
The first and fourth level fireball technique;
Level 1 and 5 techniques of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil;
Level 1 and 5 Qi Watching Technique;
Level 1 and 6 disease-removing techniques;
Level 1 and 6 body lightening techniques;
First-level and seventh-level wind control skills;
First-level and seventh-level self-protection skills;
"There are so many magic techniques in this world!" Chen Li's scalp felt numb and his brain ached slightly when he saw it.
Fortunately, he didn't plan to learn them all.
There is simply no energy or time left.
Moreover, perfection is worse than simplicity.
Chen Li chose over and over again, and finally chose the first-level and third-level flashing technique, the first-level and sixth-level disease-removing technique, the first-level and seventh-level wind control technique, and the first-level and seventh-level body protection technique as the next targets to conquer.
Among them, disease-removing techniques, like hemostatic treatment techniques, only need to be learned and practiced, and there is no intention to go into depth.
The Flash Technique, Wind Control Technique, and Body Protection Technique are ready to be refined.
Flash: Create a strong flash of light.
Used well, it can determine a battle, especially for someone like him who focuses on close combat, and it is a powerful weapon on the battlefield.
Wind Control: Fly by the wind, which can be used to run away.
Needless to say, self-protection skills.
There is a talisman version of the amulet, but the power of the spell is undoubtedly greater than that of the talisman. Although it is not as powerful as the golden light talisman, as long as you practice it to the expert level, it should be more powerful than the golden light talisman.
"Hey, let's learn slowly. Let's start with the Flash Technique."
…
On the first night of training in Luanluo City, Chen Li truly felt what the first-order spiritual land was.
When meditating and practicing Qi, a large amount of spiritual energy pours into the body crazily, and it is almost effortless to actively absorb it. Every time it runs for a week, the spiritual energy seems to increase slightly.
The next morning, he opened his eyes.
There was a hint of joy on his face.
"Maybe it won't take half a year to advance to the eighth level of Qi training."
…
Early in the morning, Chen Li and Zhou Hong went out to start a large shopping spree. All the furniture at home was still usable, but a lot of pots and pans were broken and needed to be replaced. In addition, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other daily necessities were needed.
Products must be repurchased.
Finally there is food.
There is nothing else in the house except the meat of second-level monster beasts. You can't live on eating monster meat all the time.
Also adjust the taste.
For the past half month, I have been eating dried meat every day.
He was almost tired of eating it.
After asking passers-by for the address, the two of them rushed to the Lingmi Shop of the Changsheng Sect.
"One low-grade spiritual rice is ten kilograms per low-grade spiritual stone, and one low-grade spiritual rice is three kilograms per medium-grade spiritual rice. How much do you need?" the shopkeeper of Lingmi Shop quoted.
The Changsheng Sect is quite fair.
The price of low-grade spiritual rice is the same even in Green River Square. It should be uniformly priced in the entire Immortality Domain.
"Give me a hundred pounds of medium-grade spiritual rice!"
After Chen Li paid the money, he walked to an uninhabited place and put the rice bag into the space bag.
The next things to buy are all worldly things, so we can only buy them at the foot of the mountain.
Such as the shanty towns in Green River Square.
At the foot of the mountain is the place where middle and low-level casual cultivators gather. Tens of thousands of monks gather here to build houses and settle down. It is more lively than Luanluo City and is full of fireworks. After arriving here, Chen Li and Zhou Hong felt cordial.
feel.
When we arrived at the trading place, there were stalls everywhere.
Most of the things traded here are secular things, ranging from needles and threads to various furniture. Everything in the secular world is available here, even snacks are sold.
These stall owners are not ordinary people. They are basically monks with no hope of success. They do not live here. They buy goods from the nearby secular world and sell them here. They work hard every day to earn some hard money.
Think about it, how can a mortal dare to come here to do business?
The prices here are indeed much cheaper than in Green River Fang. After Chen Li bought all the things, he only spent a total of three taels of gold and got back two taels of silver. However, these stall owners probably cannot make a low-grade item in a month.
Spiritual stone.
However, although these people look down and out, they still have to compare themselves with who else. Look, back to the mortal world, he is also a master of cultivating immortals. I am afraid that he has three wives and four concubines at home, and a group of servants, and his life is better than that of most casual cultivators.
