Hearing Bai Ran's words, Lu Er was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but glance at their hands.
When he saw the red ring, he said with a sudden expression:
"It turns out that the immortal master plans to live in this city for a long time! This matter is very easy to handle. Have the two immortal masters seen the houses built on the holy mountain? You can just rent a house on the mountain to practice. Listen to other immortals
Master Shida said that the entire holy mountain is a natural spiritual energy. The higher the rented house is on the mountain, the more spiritual energy it will have, and of course the price will be more expensive."
"If you don't want to rent a house and like to practice alone, you can also rent a ready-made cave to have your own private area, but I heard that the cost is much more expensive than a house! And both the house and the cave are priced in hundreds of years. Every hundred years
You have to pay the fee again. If you cannot pay the next fee by then, it will be taken back by the immortal masters of the Star Palace."
Lu Er explained it to Bai Ran very quickly.
"Oh, is it possible to rent a training place on the top floor as long as you have enough spirit stones?" After hearing this, Bai Ran showed a look of interest.
"Master Immortal is joking, of course this won't work." Lu Er shook his head like he was playing a drum.
"The Holy Mountain is divided into one level each time it circles from bottom to top, and is divided into eighty-one levels in total. The first fifty levels are open to foreign immortal masters. As long as they have spiritual stones, they can rent a place to practice.
Only adults from the Star Palace can live on the thirtieth floor. As for the highest floor, it is the Holy Palace, which is the residence of the two Holy Lords. No one is allowed to enter." Lu Er said sarcastically.
After Bai Ran thought for a while, he said decisively:
"Okay, please show me the way down! Find a place to stay first."
"Yes, I will lead the way now. The immortal master can just fly in the direction of the holy mountain. There is an attic at the foot of the mountain that is specially designed to handle this matter."
As soon as he finished speaking, the divine wind boat turned into a white light and fled towards the huge mountain in the distance.
The huge mountain didn't seem far away, but Bai Ran flew for a full quarter of an hour before he really got close to the foot of the mountain.
Under the guidance of Lu Erdi, the divine wind boat landed in front of a rather impressive pavilion.
Except for Bai Ran, there are quite a few monks coming and going here, and from time to time there is light soaring into the sky or landing.
Bai Ran looked around for a few times, then led Qu Hun and Lu Er into the pavilion with tall steps.
As soon as I entered this building, I saw a dozen monk-like people inside the building, talking to each of the monks in white in front of five or six lonely stone tables.
Some of these people were extremely happy, some were frowning, and two of them were even begging for something to the monk in white across from them. They had really different expressions!
Bai Ran watched everything in front of him silently for a while.
"Master Immortal, there is no one over there, should we go there?" After a moment, Lu Er reminded Bai Ran carefully.
Bai Ran naturally saw the unoccupied stone table and nodded.
But this time Qu Hun took the lead and walked over, while Bai Ran followed behind him.
This change made Lu Er, who had always thought Bai Ran was the one in charge, dumbfounded and followed him slightly surprised.
"Senior, do you want to rent a house in the Holy Mountain? I don't know how many floors you want. The upper floors are more expensive!" The Star Palace monk turned his eyes around Qu Hun and immediately said with respect.
It seems that monks who form pills are awe-inspiring no matter where they are. This is why Bai Ran asked Qu Hun to come forward.
"I want a cave. Is there any ready-made land? The higher the level, the better!" Quhun said expressionlessly.
"Cave? Senior, I'll be behind you later. I'll check!" Hearing Qu Hun's loud tone, the white-clothed monk perked up and hurriedly took out the quick jade slip and started searching.
"Yes! There are three on the thirty-first floor, four on the thirty-ninth floor, and two on the forty-seventh floor. Here are the prices and the structure and function of the cave." The monk in white took out several jade slips and placed them
On the stone table.
When Qu Hun heard this, he grabbed them one by one and looked at them with his spiritual consciousness.
Bai Ran always believed that he had no shortage of spiritual stones. He also believed that he was considered a small rich man even among the monks in the pill formation stage.
But after seeing the rental fees for these caves, I was still shocked."
Putting aside the forty-seventh floor of caves, the caves on the thirty-plus floors made Bai Ran feel extremely heartbroken. However, for a hundred years of use, the cost was as high as two to three thousand spirit stones. It was really ridiculously expensive.
!
Seeing Qu Hun's face change slightly and becoming silent, the monk opposite seemed to have guessed what the other person was thinking, and explained with a smile:
"Senior! Our saints
Although I dare not say that the pulse is the best in Tianhai, it is ranked among the top five. This is the practice at the foot of the Holy Mountain, and the speed is much stronger than the best areas of the general spiritual veins. As for after passing the 30th level
, the cultivation speed has almost been accelerated by more than a quarter. That’s why the cost of the cave is so expensive. But it is definitely worth it!"
After hearing this, Bai Ran frowned.
At this time, Qu Hun had already checked all the jade slips.
"Let's just take this one!" Following Bai Ran's instructions, Qu Hun grabbed a jade slip and handed it over. It was a fully functional cave on the thirty-ninth floor.
"Okay, the cost is 2,700 spirit stones!" Seeing that Qu Hun really wanted to rent the valuable cave, the monk in white was equally happy and said quickly.
This time, Bai Ran didn't let Qu Hun take action. He took the initiative to take out more than twenty mid-level spiritual stones from his storage bag and handed them to him.
"This is the forbidden token of the cave. With this token, you can enter and exit the cave freely. But after a hundred years, this token will be taken back. I hope that the seniors will keep it properly." The monk collected these spirits.
Shi, with a smile on his face, took out a yellow sign and handed it to Qu Hun.
Quhun collected the token and turned away without saying a word.
Bai Ran and Lu Er, who had never dared to interrupt, followed closely and left the building.
"It's really shockingly expensive! To find a place to practice, you need so many spiritual stones." As soon as he walked out of the pavilion, Bai Ran let out a sigh of relief and murmured somewhat depressedly.
This time, his net worth has shrunk a lot!
"I wonder, are the two immortal masters going somewhere else?" Lu Er secretly glanced at Bai Ran and asked in a low voice.
He had been shocked by Bai Ran's generous use of spiritual stones.
Although I have served as guides for other immortal cultivators in the past, those immortal masters only spent a dozen or dozens of spiritual stones at most.
He had only heard about this work that cost two or three thousand spiritual stones at a time, but this time he saw it with his own eyes.
Suddenly, Lu Er became more and more respectful to Bai Ran, and his confidence in getting paid was greatly increased.
After all, the other party has made such a big move, so as long as he satisfies the other party, he will definitely not let go of his little spiritual stone.
"Take me to the city's markets and introduce some of the larger shops to me." Bai Ran glanced at Lu Er and said casually.
Then he took Qu Hun and Lu Er onto the divine wind boat again and flew away.
…
Most of a day later, Bai Ran was lying on a large wooden bed with his hands behind his head, thinking about something.
Not long ago, under Lu Er's introduction, he got familiar with all the important places in Tianxing City, then gave the other party the agreed reward and then parted ways.
After watching Lu Er leave happily, he arrived alone at this thirty-nine-story cave house that he had rented at a huge price.
This cave is indeed as described in the jade slip. Not only is it relatively remote and quiet, but it also has a large empty medicine garden.
But what makes Bai Ran even more satisfied is that the spiritual energy here is extremely abundant, which is far beyond the comparison of ordinary spiritual energy.
Even compared to the old cave mansion when I was in Tiannan, it is not even the slightest bit worse.
This made Bai Ran feel that it was quite worthwhile!
The formation restrictions attached to this cave are also very powerful, and they are no worse than his simplified version of the "Inverted Five Elements Formation".
Even so, Bai Ran was worried that he could only rely on the cave's original formations to protect his own safety. He planned to take a short rest and set up his own large formations outside this formation tomorrow.
Only in this way can he truly be called stable, and only then can he have time to re-plan his cultivation plan.
After thinking about it, Bai Ran fell into a sweet sleep without realizing it.
In the past few months, he has been flying bumpily on the magic weapon, and he is really tired!
Early the next morning, Bai Ran woke up and started busy.
In one breath, he set up three more large formations outside the cave, and then planted various medicinal herbs and elixirs in the empty medicine garden for future use in ripening elixirs.
Finally, he went to Fang City to buy a lot of high-quality jade. After returning to the cave, he inlaid these jade in a secret room that was more than ten feet in size, leaving no room for an inch.
After turning the stone wall of the secret room into a jade, Bai Ran carefully put the gold-eating insects into it.
He has high hopes for these strange insects that rank so high. He plans to kill them well and then they can help him in the future.
