The closer you get to the town of Montenegro, the less snow there is, until it is completely dry and not a drop of snow falls.

The further you go, the darker the ground becomes, and the more you don't see cracks, and gradually there is vegetation cover.

Thorns, green leaves, xanthus, dog's tail grass, hemp, mandala, amaranth, dandelion, and all kinds of wild herbs, lichens and mushrooms......

The diversity of vegetation, and the growth of individuals, are much better than those in the Green River Valley.

It can be seen that this place is rich in water and soil, and it is a good place for farming, so it is no wonder that a large mound will become the largest gathering area within a radius of thousands of miles.

Most of the plants on the outskirts of Black Mountain Town, Wang Ye can find prototypes on the earth.

Although these are not spirit plants, there are slight differences from the Earthly version.

Just like the difference between mortals on the earth and mortals in the cultivation realm, one grows up in a spiritless environment and the other grows up in a spirited environment, there is a difference.

For example, the dog's tail grass here never droops its head, but its roots are like swords, rising step by step, seizing the wind to sow seeds.

Mushrooms, for example, are mostly tall and colorful, attracting people to pick them......

Then you can have a meal.

For example, the mandala will perceive the subtle spiritual pressure in the vicinity, and ordinary people will close the flowers and leaves when they pass by, and it will only open when the cultivator passes by.

The feeling of the world of Xiuzhen...... Awesome!

Close to the town of Montenegro, passers-by are also sparsely populated.

There are those who ride horses, those who ride carriages, and even those who carry sedan chairs...... I didn't see Edgeworth flying or beasts flying.

Wang Ye observed all the way, and only saw a person flying in the wind of a flying paper iris.

The paper kite was as thin as a cicada's wings, as big as a house, and borrowed a lot of wind power, not entirely driven by spiritual power.

In this way, it still attracted the envy of passers-by.

What kind of family background did he have to dare to waste spiritual power like this in the wasteland era?

Ahead, there is a big road, and there are more and more passers-by.

Judging from the composition of passers-by, most of them are low-level qi refining cultivators, the men's makeup is mainly fierce, and the women are mostly dressed in fancy clothes.

It seems that the black-robed woman just now is an anomaly.

Wang Ye looked carefully, and there were still some mortals mixed on the road, most of them were cultivators' families or servants.

Children are rarely seen.

Ten years of calamity, no one dared to have children.

This is the instinct of biological evolution, unless the calamity lasts infinitely, and it is born if it is not born.

Wang Ye was wearing a wolf skin coat and carrying a burden, and it was not an unusual outfit on the road outside the town.

Some people even regarded him as a foreign merchant and came up to ask him what specialties he was selling.

……

When he arrived at the shantytown at the foot of the mountain, Wang Ye looked up and found that this black mountain was really a fertile soil.

The nearby aura is gathered here, alternating between cold and heat, and the climate is pleasant, suitable for farming.

The gentle mountains are lush and green, with a gentle breeze, and are planted with all kinds of spiritual valleys and herbs.

At the top of the hill is a stone tower shaped like a bunker.

I heard the old merchant say that there is a pool of water ten feet square on the top of Montenegro, which irrigates the entire town of Montenegro.

Wang Ye came to the foot of the mountain and found that there was a river around the mountain blocking the way, the river water was turbid and slightly foul-smelling, which should be the sewage discharged from the mountain.

On the outside of the mountains and rivers, dozens of low-rise shantytowns have been built scattered.

The shantytowns were built like slums, with most people farming for their livelihoods, and a few hunting, trading or working as servants for the mountain people.

It can be seen that the mountain people are the ruling class here, the number is scarce, they are pampered, most of them ride horses and cars when they go out, and women prefer to sit in sedan chairs.

Most of the shantytowns are where outsiders gather and pay land taxes to the mountain people, and gradually become large.

With Wang Ye's identity and financial resources, he can only be a homeless person at present, and whether he can buy a house in a shantytown is still a big question.

He decided to settle down in a shantytown first, regardless of whether he bought or rented a house, and made Montenegro his novice village.

Relying on farming to make money and practicing exercises, he will definitely not leave here until the day when the foundation is built.

Right now, the nearby homeless people are coming in and out, Wang Ye picked a burden and came in, and no one cared.

He spent a long time observing and exploring the periphery, and picked a field that looked barren and barren, but was actually a shantytown with overcompost and burned spiritual plants.

There are many houses in this shantytown, and the number of people is scarce, and the housing prices must not be high.

After all, in those shantytowns with fertile water and soil, he can't afford the housing prices.

Regarding the issue of housing prices in Montenegro Town, Wang Ye had consulted the old merchant before.

It is not possible to build your own houses in shantytowns, or you have to pay the same land price as the house price.

The price of a set of three-zhang square shanties is 300 lower-grade spirit stones, which is 30,000 catties of spirit valley.

This price is unaffordable for Wang Ye.

So, he can only rent a house first.

The rent of the shantytown is calculated on an annual basis, and the average price is twelve lower grade spirit stones a year.

And Wang Ye currently only has five hundred catties of spirit valley, which is converted into five lower-grade spirit stones.

Even if you rent a house, you have to find a rundown area......

If you can't negotiate the price, you have to sell some equipment in your inventory, such as the annotation of "Qi Cultivation Technique".

Wang Ye spared a whole circle at the foot of the mountain, and only then found this shantytown on the northwest side where the occupancy rate was dismal due to poor land.

This is it!

Wang Ye was very excited.

There is a tea house at the entrance to the shantytown.

A shady area was propped up with rags, a simple open-air pantry, and seven or eight square wooden tables.

This kind of tattered decoration, Wang Ye has only seen it in Hong Kong-made Jin Yong TV series.

It looks like a bump, but the advantages are obvious: I don't feel distressed when the calamity comes, or I don't feel distressed when I am broken by a fight with someone in the martial arts.

It was nearly evening, many people returned from hunting, and there was a lot of traffic in the major shantytowns and main roads.

However, business at this tea house was bleak.

This made Wang Ye suspect that the boss's main business was probably not selling tea, but selling houses.

Wang Ye walked into the tea house, and after putting down his burden, he looked around and sat down.

I have to say that the spirit tea mixed with wine soaks into the nasal cavity and goes straight to the heart and spleen, and it feels like everyone is floating.

Inside the store, there is a flag indicating the price of tea.

The price of a bowl of spiritual tea is one catty of Linggu, or one or two gold, and one hundredth of a low-grade spiritual stone.

The price of blending in spirit wine is doubled.

Wang Ye felt that it was too expensive.

I ordered a bowl of ordinary tea.

The price of regular tea is ...... Just leave something for free.

"Boss, let's have a bowl of tea!"

Then take out a fatty pickled rabbit.

"This is rabbit meat marinated by the juniors, can you pay for a bowl of ordinary tea?"

"Of course!"

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged fat man with a small height and a long beard, who has both the temperament of a fairy and a profiteer.

After accepting Wang Ye's rabbit, the shopkeeper smelled it and felt very fragrant, but when he looked closely, he found that only salt was used, and he was very impressed by its pickling technique.

Only then did I go to the pantry to prepare the corresponding spiritual tea.

"The tea is here, and I mixed some spiritual wine for free for Taoist friends, try it."

In the shopkeeper's opinion, any foreign monk who comes to the shantytown is a potential stock, a pink and tender green leek seedling.

Therefore, no matter how dirty Wang Ye wears and how many mundane things are in his burden, the shopkeeper still laughs and serves tea.

Wang Ye felt outrageous: Tea is sobering, isn't it drunk in vain when wine is mixed with tea?

Picking up the teacup, he took a curious sip.

The taste is very strong, and it is immediately sweet, and the tea polyphenols and alcohol are catalyzed and mixed with subtle spiritual power, from the stomach to the dantian, setting off a series of eternal and long ripples.

Not bad!

The sky gradually darkened, and a few regular customers came to the store in twos and threes, and the shopkeeper tacitly served tea.

Then he sat down at Wang Ye's table and asked curiously:

"Daoyou is here to do business in Montenegro?"

Wang Ye knew that the opportunity had come, after all, this was a two-way street, and it was not a big problem to have less money.

"The younger generation lives in the countryside of Montenegro all the year round, and now they want to settle in the town, but they are short of money, I wonder if the store has a cheap place to stay and recommend one or two?"

"Then you've come to the right place!"

The shopkeeper suddenly became excited.

"Looking at all the shantytowns in Montenegro Town, the housing prices and land taxes in our ninth district are the lowest!"

"The land is a little barren, but if it weren't for this, ordinary people wouldn't have the money to settle down, and the hukou in Black Mountain Town is a signboard, and no one dares to mess with it within a radius of thousands of miles."

Wang Ye took a sip of tea and asked:

"How much does it cost?"

Shopkeeper said:

"The average shantytown costs 300 sets of spirit stones, and our ninth district only needs 200."

Wang Ye asked quietly:

"What about the rent?"

The shopkeeper had long seen that Wang Ye had no money to buy a house, but he didn't care, outsiders started by renting a house, as long as they had cultivation, they were qualified leeks.

"The average rent of the nearby shantytowns is twelve low-grade spirit stones a year, and I only need half the price here."

Wang Ye bowed slightly, and asked knowingly:

"So, the shopkeeper also has a house for rent?"

The shopkeeper stroked his beard and smiled, quite a fairy style.

"Of course."

"I have some power in the ninth district, and there will be a lot less mess, which is suitable for newcomers like Daoyou."

"If you really want to rent, I'll ask my daughter to take you to see the house."

Wang Ye was stunned, and hurriedly excused himself:

"It's almost night, isn't it appropriate to let a girl's family show me the house?"

The shopkeeper was also stunned for a while, and only after a while was relieved:

"It's a good fit...... Although Kosugi is her daughter's family, it is no problem to protect her fellow Daoists at night. ”

After that, he pulled his throat and called a three-hundred-pound daughter who was shaped like a mountain of meat.
