Chapter Ninety-Six: Settle In
Afterwards.
It was already noon.
Zhou Hongjiao lazily nestled in Chen Li's arms, opened her watery phoenix eyes, looked at her man, and said softly: "I haven't seen other casual cultivators have the best magic weapon in Green River Fang, I think it's very expensive, don't buy it for me in the future!" ”
"It's not too expensive, it only cost 25 medium-grade spirit stones, not to mention that this kind of talisman can save money, no matter how much money you have, you have to buy it!" Chen Li's hand kept sliding up and down, and said:
"Although it looks safe here, the darkness under the shadows will not be less, and you still have to pay attention to it."
Compared to Green River Square, the situation here is even more complicated.
The Immortal Sect, the Zhuji Family, and all kinds of foreign forces are mixed...... Although the war is over, no one can predict what the future holds.
Regardless, he would rather stay here than stay in the sinking wrecked ship of Green River.
I just hope that it will be quiet for a few years.
Wait for him...... Let's talk about building the foundation.
At this time, he heard familiar footsteps and walked towards this side: "Zhang Yan should come to me, you continue to rest!" ”
Chen Li had no choice but to put on his clothes, tidy up his appearance, and take a cleaning charm for himself to remove the odor, and then opened the door and greeted him.
Zhang Yan came over worriedly: "Chen Daoyou, you are up, I just went out to inquire, the rent in this Luanluo City 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 spirit stone a year, and even the house at the foot of the mountain has to pay thirty low-grade spirit stones a year!"
Chen Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.
This Zhang Yan's tone and demeanor, he still thought it was expensive.
Not counting those magic weapons that didn't move, he still had 145 medium-grade spirit stones left in his savings, which could live for more than a hundred years.
"After all, this is Luanluo City, a first-order spiritual land, this rent is still acceptable, you are a talisman, you don't have this money on hand, right?"
"I have some savings, but the price of the talisman here is too low, I have inquired, a light talisman can only be sold for a low-grade spirit stone, and the future will be difficult." Zhang Yan sighed and said.
Chen Li, who is rich in wealth and can draw high-value talismans, also sighed: "Yes, there are too many peers here." ”
The two couldn't help but glance at each other.
……
Lunch.
Zhao Lin invited the manager of Luanluocheng who was in charge of renting a house.
"You're going to rent a house? Then you've come to a good time. Seeing that someone wanted to rent a house, the elderly steward smiled: "In the past, if you want to settle here, there are not so many houses to choose from." ”
Over the past year or so, there has been an attack by the three major surrounding sects, the fall of the Jindan Ancestor, and then a rebellion.
Luanluo City has become a lot of depression, and many casual cultivators have fled from this place.
This results in a large number of vacant rooms.
"Then trouble Steward Luo to make a hard trip and take us to have a good look!" Chen Li took out a talisman, stuffed it into the other party's hand, and arched his hand.
"Well said, well said!" Steward Luo glanced at it, and quickly stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, and the smile on his face was even worse:
"I just like sensible people, although Luanluo City is a place of first-order aura, but it is also a first-order, and the aura is also strong and light, of course, many good positions have long been occupied by those Zhuji families in the city, but there are left, I don't tell ordinary people."
Everyone was overjoyed.
Next, the old housekeeper took the group to see the house.
Unlike the dilapidated shantytowns of Green River Square, the houses here are better in shape than Green River Square, and of course, most of the houses are only slightly better, neither antique nor carved beams.
It can only be said to be simple.
But there's a good thing.
The area is not small.
Each household with a yard has a size of half an acre, and the interval between households is less than five or six meters, and more than ten meters apart.
It can simply bring tears to the eyes of future generations of developers.
And this is already much more crowded than the shantytowns of Green River Square.
"Steward Luo, and take someone to see the house."
"Yes, yes, Wang Daoyou, is this preparing to go out?"
"Make an appointment with Zhang Daoyou and go out on a trip!"
"Be careful, it's not been peaceful lately."
The old steward walked through the streets and alleys all the way, and from time to time someone greeted him, he gave up his hand all the way, his hands never stopped, and sometimes he would stop and chat with someone for a minute or two when he met him, Chen Li and others had no choice but to wait.
An hour later.
The old steward finally stopped.
"It's this one, this one is a good place, a few steps away from here is Lingxi, do you know where Lingxi flows from? It came from the third-order spiritual underground, and this house is on the edge of this spiritual stream, and the spiritual energy is naturally stronger than that of other places! The old steward smiled and said:
"You can feel it, is the old word fake?"
Chen Li ran the exercises, and he really felt a little stronger, so he arched his hand and said, "Thank you Luo Guan for taking care of it, then let's be here." ”
There are quite a few empty houses in this area.
There's a lot of choice.
Chen Li picked a set that was satisfactory in all aspects, and handed over the spirit stone.
The old steward took out a pen and ledger to register the information, and then took out a token of unknown material, and wrote the address of the house and the date of rent. handed it to Chen Li, and said while chattering:
"This thing has to be taken well, and if it is lost, it must be reissued in time, alas, some people like to take advantage of loopholes, and when they see many empty rooms, they secretly live. Recently, the inspection has been strict, and when the time comes, it will be more troublesome if you can't take it out. ”
Chen Li took the token, glanced at it, and put it in the storage bag under the cover of the cuffs.
"How many of you are there, do you have any of them?" The old steward looked at the rest of the people.
"I'll choose that set!" Zhang Yan said, but unfortunately there were no empty houses on both sides, so he had to choose the house nearby, but fortunately, it was only a few households and a few steps away.
Zhao Lin and Gu Mengqing didn't have many spirit stones in hand, but in the end, they gritted their teeth, endured the pain and handed over the spirit stones, and landed nearby.
This kind of first-order spiritual land is undoubtedly of great benefit to cultivation.
I really don't want to live at the foot of the mountain and be in the company of downcast monks.
Next, the group went back to their respective homes.
……
"Shall we live here in the future?"
A thick layer of ash had accumulated in the room, and it was a mess inside, with all kinds of furniture, tables and chairs lying on the ground, but the excitement of the two was not diminished in the slightest.
"Yes, this is our new home in the future!" Chen Li also sighed.
"It's like a dream to think about it, this is Luanluo City, where the Immortal Sect is located, I thought I would stay in Green River Fang for the rest of my life." Zhou Hong muttered.
Chen Li gently hugged Zhou Hong: "Don't worry, it will definitely get better and better in the future." ”
"Hmm!" Zhou Hong buried himself in Chen Li's arms and said.
Chen Li and Zhou Hong didn't go anywhere in the afternoon.
It's all about tidying up the house.
During this period, dozens of cleaning charms were used, all the stocks were exhausted, and the dust swept out could fill a few dustpans, looking at the re-cleaned house, Chen Li had a heartfelt sense of satisfaction.
In the evening, Chen Li brought a gift (a guiding note) and visited a circle of neighbors and neighborhoods, which can be regarded as a foothold here.
Just got home.
Zhang Yan came to the door with a stack of thick futons in his hand.
"Chen Daoyou, you haven't bought a futon yet, I just have a lot of it!"
"I thought that I would spend one night tonight and buy it tomorrow, but I didn't expect Zhang Daoyou to send it in person, thank me, I won't say it, how much did you buy it? I'll give you the money. Chen Li hurriedly said.
"No, no, it's not worth a few dollars, the worldly things here are very cheap, I bought three sets for one or two gold, and there is silver to find, but I need to go to the foot of the mountain to buy it." Zhang Yan said that the prices here are really cheap compared to Green River Square.
Even the talisman is cheap.
"Isn't there anything for sale in the city?" Chen Li took the futon, handed it to Zhou Hong, and asked Zhang Yandao.
"Alas, I've inquired, what kind of stall fee do you have to pay for a low-grade spirit stone to set up a stall here, I haven't heard of this stall fee, how can these vendors who sell worldly things have so much money to pay." Zhang Yan sighed.
Luanluo City, it's not easy to live in a big city.
Asking for money everywhere.
It's so hard.
You have to live a tight life in the future, otherwise you will not be able to make ends meet.
"It's a bit of a hassle...... By the way, I don't have many talismans in my hand, and I'm about to buy some, when will you have them? Chen Li said.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but perk up when he heard this: "How much do you want?" ”
Chen Li hadn't bought talisman skins from him for a long time.
This additional income, which was dispensable in the past, is now impossible to ignore.
"Let's make a whole round, six hundred." Chen Li said.
"I can't get so much at once, if you're not in a hurry, I can give you a hundred and fifty first, and then give you the rest of the rest after half a month!" Zhang Yan went on to explain:
"Those animal skins are too heavy, I have left them in Green River Fang, and now I don't have a half-finished animal skin on hand, and I have to buy and make them again, and I need to wait for a while."
"No problem." Chen Li said.
"Then I'll send it to you now."
"Don't be in such a hurry."
"It's okay, just a few steps."
No matter how Chen Li persuaded him, Zhang Yan still left in a hurry, and soon brought the talisman back.
……
Night.
The flames of the size of oil lamps and beans kept jumping.
Chen Li picked up a copy of "Immortal Sect's Common Techniques for Qi Cultivation Period" and flipped through the pages one by one.
first-order cleansing;
first-order first-order televisibility;
first-order anthelmintic surgery;
first-order throwing;
first-order and second-order exorcism;
first-order and second-order teraucry;
first-order and third-level plague exorcism;
Flashing of the first order and the third order;
The first and fourth levels of evil spirits;
the first and fourth level of fireball technique;
The first and fifth levels of auspiciousness and evil avoidance techniques;
The first and fifth levels of the Qi Hope Technique;
first-order sixth-level dispelling techniques;
The first and sixth levels of light body technique;
The first and seventh levels of the Wind Resisting Technique;
The first order and the seventh level of the talisman technique;
"There are so many spells in the world!" Chen Li's scalp was numb, and his brain ached faintly.
Fortunately, he didn't plan to learn all of them.
I don't have that energy or time at all.
Moreover, miscellaneous is not as good as fine.
Chen Li chose to choose and choose, and finally chose the first-order third-level flash technique, the first-order sixth-level disease removal technique, the first-order seventh-level wind resistance technique, and the first-order seventh-level talisman technique as the next target.
Among them, the dispelling technique, like the hemostatic treatment technique, only needs to be learned and practiced, and there is no intention to go deeper.
The Flashing Technique, the Wind Resisting Technique, and the Talisman Technique are ready to be refined.
Glitter: Creates a strong flash of light.
If you use it well, you can decide a battle, especially if you are a close combat-oriented person like him, and it is a battlefield weapon.
Wind Resistance: Fly against the wind, which can be used to run.
Needless to say, talismans.
There is a talisman version of the talisman, but the power of the spell is undoubtedly greater than the talisman, although it is not as good as the golden light talisman, but as long as it is practiced to the expert level, the power should be able to surpass the golden light talisman.
"Well, let's learn slowly, starting with the flash technique."
……
On the first night of cultivation in Luanluo City, Chen Li really felt what it meant to be a first-order spiritual land.
When meditating and practicing qi, a large number of wisps of spiritual energy frantically poured into the body, and there was almost no need to actively absorb it with effort, and every day it was run, the spiritual power seemed to increase a little.
The next morning, he opened his eyes.
With a hint of joy on his face.
"Maybe it won't take half a year at all to advance to the eighth level of Qi cultivation."
……
Early in the morning, Chen Li and Zhou Hong went out to start a big purchase, the original furniture at home was still all usable, but the pots and pans were broken a lot, and some needed to be repaired, and the necessities of life such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar had to be re-purchased.
Finally, there is the food.
There is nothing else at home except for second-order demon beast meat, and you can't always eat demon beast meat to survive.
Adjust the flavor as well.
For half a month, I ate jerky every day.
He's getting tired of eating.
After inquiring about the address from passers-by, the two of them ran to the Lingmi shop of the Immortal Sect first.
"Ten catties of a lower-grade spiritual rice for a low-grade spiritual stone, and three catties for a medium-grade spiritual rice, how much do you need?" The shopkeeper of Lingmi Shop quoted.
The Immortal Sect is fair.
The price of the lower grade spirit rice is the same even in Green River Fang, and it should be a uniform price for the entire Immortal Domain.
"Give me a hundred catties of medium-grade spiritual rice!"
After Chen Li paid the money, he walked to a place where no one was hiding before putting the rice bag into the space bag.
The next things to be bought are worldly things, and you can only go to the foot of the mountain to buy them.
Such as the shantytown in Green River Square.
At the foot of the mountain is the place where the middle and low-level scattered cultivators live, tens of thousands of monks gather here to build a house and settle down, which is more lively than Luanluo City, full of fireworks everywhere, after coming here, Chen Li and Zhou Hong have a sense of intimacy.
When you come to the trading place, there are stalls everywhere.
Most of the transactions here are mundane things, from small needles and threads to all kinds of furniture, and everything is available in the secular world, even those who sell snacks.
These stall owners are not mortals, they are basically monks with no hopeless path, and they do not settle here, they buy goods from the nearby secular world, and then come here to sell, and they are busy every day to earn some hard-earned money.
Think about it, how dare a mortal come here to do business.
The prices here are indeed much cheaper than those in Green River Fang, Chen Li bought all the things, and spent a total of three taels of gold, and also recovered two taels of silver, and these stall owners are estimated to not be able to earn a single low-grade spirit stone in a month.
However, although these people look down, but who do they have to compare with, where do they look, back to the mortal world, that is also the master of cultivating immortals, I am afraid that there are three wives and four concubines in the family, and there are groups of servants, and their lives are more nourishing than most of the casual cultivators.
