Although it was a lot more convenient to hand over the construction work to the Shen family, unexpected events also occurred.
Originally, the Shen family told them to just dig a small lake, but now they are doing it because they are afraid that the amount of work will be too small.
They believe that a lake of at least thirty acres must be dug to better match this large piece of land. Moreover, since there is a lake, there must be an island in the center of the lake. If there is an island, there must be an arch bridge to pass through it.
We already have arch bridges, why can’t we build some pavilions, rockeries or something like that?
After discussing and discussing, Chen Taizhong became a little annoyed, "You guys can discuss it, it will be done within ten days... I will go back to the city to practice at the Marquis' residence first."
It was time to retreat to Hou Zhai, but the time was not up yet. There were still four days left. For the remaining six days, he went into the inn to practice.
When Chen Taizhong came back again, he basically didn't recognize that place anymore. There was a garden on the hillside. Some projects were not completed yet. There were more than a dozen people working on it, all middle-level and high-level immortals.
.
"Why hasn't it been completed?" Chen Taizhong was a little unhappy, "My rent for this day is nearly 100 pounds. How should the loss be calculated?"
"It belongs to our Shen family," the eighth-level Immortal from last time answered with a smile, "The family has said that apart from the construction date, we will also give you two more months to live in for free... It will be completed today."
Chen Taizhong looked at him and was a little speechless. He took a closer look at the renovated place. In addition to the pleasant scenery, some care was also put into some places. Many large trees were transplanted, and the canals leading to the river were also decorated.
A gate was erected.
"Where can I spend the spiritual stones? Where is the best place?" He nodded, feeling quite satisfied. "How much did it cost?"
Scar answered in a very low voice, "Not even a little bit...less than a little bit, three hundred souls."
"Three hundred... uh, Zhongling?" Chen Taizhong rolled his eyes. He didn't care much about spirit stones, but he couldn't be taken for granted. "It's almost time to make up for one year's rent. Why don't you go grab the money?"
"Guest, you are wrong to say that," the eighth-level Immortal's face sank and he explained seriously, "What you ask for is speed. At most, there are thirty cultivators in my Shen family working, and even this is almost impossible.
Completed.”
"Did I ask you to make such a big deal?" Chen Taizhong laughed angrily, "You guys are really... Calculate it, it's bad luck for me. Leave as soon as you're done."
"If you need to build a fence, remember to tell us," the man replied with a smile, not worried, "With such a beautiful scenery, there must be a lot of people coming to enjoy it."
"I'm just a tenant. I'm not the son-in-law of your Shen family," Chen Taizhong snorted angrily, "You haven't made enough money yet?"
Near noon, the Shen family finished their work, settled with Wang Yanyan, and left. Only then did Scar find his owner and explain, "They did their job very carefully and hard, but... they gave some suggestions on the left and some suggestions on the right.
At one point, the price will go up."
"After all, there is a family with spiritual beings. How can it be so miserable?" Chen Taizhong frowned and asked. He destroyed Liang's village, plundered the storage bag, and found six or seventy spiritual beings.
"As the family grows, so does the burden. Resources cannot be unlimited," Scar answered seriously. "There are always people who don't have enough spiritual stones, and our deal is foreign wealth to them. If you don't earn it, it's free."
."
She also went out of her way to explain why she spent a lot of spiritual stones, "The Shen family knows that we have the ability to buy an ordinary yard, so they must have guessed that we have some money. If we spend money quickly, we can always have less things to worry about."
"Are we short of this little money?" Chen Taizhong waved his hand casually. He really doesn't need too many spiritual stones in his hand now. If Scar explains it like this, he won't take it to heart - there is no explanation.
If so, he will definitely feel a little uncomfortable.
The next moment, he reacted to another question, "I remember that you used to be very reluctant to part with the flower spirit stone, but now you have become more generous?"
"Do you like silence?" Wang Yanyan pointed to the distance, "Look?"
"Bluestone road?" Chen Taizhong narrowed his eyes and was startled when he saw the bluestone road paved between the trees. "I didn't tell you... I like this, right?"
"I know you like it," Wang Yanyan's expression was hidden behind the veil and could not be seen clearly, but her proud look could be seen in her eyes, "right?"
Chen Taizhong snorted. He didn't like the way she looked at him, so he changed the topic, "It seems that these family members may not be as glamorous as the casual cultivators."
"In order to expand the family, they worked hard to give birth to children, and then they worked hard to exploit the casual cultivators." Wang Yanyan became very emotional when she mentioned this. "They are not glamorous. Didn't they ask for it?"
"Okay, it's time to cook," Chen Taizhong waved his hand, but what he was thinking about was that in fact, it doesn't matter if the neighbors come to play in this small pool.
He is very eager to integrate into the local circle, become a normal person like everyone else, and then practice with peace of mind. When he reaches the high level of spiritual immortal, he can leave here and go to Wangquan City to develop...
Life in Tingfeng Town is leisurely and lazy. On earth, it is roughly a combination of a high-end residential community and an urban village.
A high-end residential community means that the people who live in it have a certain amount of money and are not short of money. On the other hand, it is like a village in the city, where neighbors have frequent interactions with each other. Unlike ordinary high-end residential communities, at night, there are many people in the community.
Not a single figure was seen.
It took about a month for the surrounding neighbors to become familiar with the two new tenants.
Chen Taizhong would definitely go out for a walk every morning and evening.
From the surface, he is a ninth-level wandering immortal. Although he is not a spirit immortal, he is still a top being among the wandering immortals. And he doesn't know when he may be promoted to a spiritual immortal. He is a so-called potential stock.
Moreover, he deliberately made friends with others, and others had some impressions of this tall young man.
The serious one is Scar. She has been practicing the Exploration Technique and Qi Condensation Technique recently. She doesn’t have much time to go out. She has already discovered the benefits of the Exploration Technique, and the Qi Condensation Technique is actually very practical.
Let's put it this way, if she were a fourth-level wandering immortal, there would be no way that any spirit immortal would come to trouble her.
For a spirit fairy, finding trouble with such a person would mean a loss of status or not, let alone a loss of status. Even if the troublemaking is successful, the time spent cannot be compensated by the gains - for the fourth-level immortal,
Is there anything that could catch the eye of a spirit fairy?
As for anyone below Lingxian who wanted to cause trouble for her, she would just raise her hand and deal with it.
In addition to practicing these two techniques, she is also planning to advance to the next level. This advancement may take ten or eight years, or it may only take one or two years. She must take it seriously.
Furthermore, she fenced a ten-acre piece of land and raised three wind-winged beast cubs.
The Wind-Winged Beast is an omnivorous spirit beast and will eat anything. However, the Spiritual Grain alone is not enough without blood food. And the three little guys are just waiting for food, so they eat an astonishing amount.
In the ten acres of land, there are more than one hundred square meters of grotto, which is the room of the wind-winged beast. The three little guys usually stay in it. They can only run wildly in the ten acres of land when they go out for a walk.
It is impossible to keep spirit beasts in captivity. They have to be given a space to roam. Fortunately, Scar is from the beast control sect. If it were another person, ten acres of land would not be enough.
It would take at least a hundred acres of land to allow the cubs of mid-level spirit beasts to play freely.
Chen Taizhong, his master and servant, all know that if there is a wind-winged beast at home, others cannot know about it. Youxian raises spiritual beasts, which are mid-level ones. If word spreads... this really won't be an ordinary trouble.
In addition, Wang Yanyan is also responsible for the master's daily life, so how can she have so much time to go out?
Chen Taizhong, however, was enjoying himself. He had recently hired two people from the Shen family to be responsible for cultivating the more than ten acres of land. He also patrolled this hilltop to prevent Xiaoxiao from sneaking in. In fact, there was nothing to steal in this land. He wanted to guard against others.
disturb.
In the evening of this day, he went out for a walk again. When several neighbors saw him coming, they smiled and nodded, "Is Xiao Chen out again? His life is very regular."
"Where are there, there are no spirit stones again," Chen Taizhong replied with a smile, and took out a storage bag, "Extra large storage bag, passed down from ancestors... I only need 1,800 spirit stones, this is my last chance."
"You've been here several times, who cares?" someone replied with a smile.
"You are just a bunch of ignorant people," Chen Taizhong hummed in mock dissatisfaction.
He has a lot of stolen goods on hand. He has sold a lot of them through various channels and still has a lot on hand, including more than twenty large-capacity storage bags.
But since he wants to live in Tingfeng Town, he can't take out anything too suspicious. If he takes out more than twenty storage bags for sale at once, others will probably laugh and say, "The weather is nice today."
Then turn around and walk away.
After that, he will probably become a stinker in the town.
So he sells this small storage bag, it's just a gimmick. Everyone who lives here has some wealth, and he sells it for a high price, so it's not particularly rare for everyone.
"You just pretend to be poor," a dry and thin old man laughed dryly, "If you can afford to rent the Shen family's courtyard, why don't you say you don't have a spiritual stone?"
"By the way, the scenery there is pretty good," another idle man said, "If you have nothing to do, why don't you go sit at your lake for a while?"
This idle man's name is Ning Shufeng. He is a ninth-level wandering immortal. He makes a living in a semi-official escort agency. When he goes out as a escort, he occasionally takes on some tasks. His cultivation is displayed there and he earns a lot of money.
However, he is already at the pinnacle of the immortal world, and becoming a spiritual immortal depends on luck, so he doesn't practice much on weekdays. He is a typical idle person in the town, and he is quite enthusiastic.
Ning Shufeng's family has a son and a daughter. Because they are a small family, the children often run wildly on the street and play. They have long wanted to see the new small lake built by the Shen family.
"Go if you want," Chen Taizhong replied with a smile, "Just play at the small lake, don't go to the martial arts training ground, just come out before dark."
"That's the Shen family's place," the dry and thin old man looked at him sideways and said suspiciously, "Can you make the decision?"
"Are you talking nonsense?" Chen Taizhong glared at him. He was a little disgusted with this old man who always liked to say weird things. "I built the small lake with my spiritual stones."
