Chapter 720.
Creak!
The wooden door opened and a graceful young girl appeared behind it.
She ignored Pei Yan, who was standing in front of the door, and surveyed Wang Chen with a wary gaze.
Pei Yan yelled, ”Sister Zi Ling, this upper cultivator wants to find a place to stay, isn’t your guest room still empty? How about renting it to him for cheap!”
“Wait!”
The young girl hadn’t answered yet, but Wang Chen couldn’t hold back first, “I said I wanted to find a place to stay, but I didn’t say I wanted to live in someone else’s home!”
Renting someone else’s vacant guest room and living in an inn were two different things, and the former was inevitably a bit inconvenient.
Especially since the landlord was also a wonderful young woman.
Though the other party’s appearance was only clean-cut, with a scar on her face.
“Shang Xiu, the inns in the town have long since run out of empty rooms.”
Pei Yan condescendingly explained, “If you don’t want to sleep on the streets, then you can only rent someone else’s house to live in, Sister Zi Ling’s place can be much cleaner than other houses, her family hasn’t even rented out a room to someone else before.”
Alright then.
Wang Chen’s eyes looked towards the wonderful young girl and asked, “May I ask how much the rent is?”
The wonderful young girl hesitated for a moment, bit her lip and replied, “Thirty Xi Ling a day.”
Thirty Xi Ling?
Wang Chen froze as he listened.
Even if the prices in Thousand Star Immortal City were very high, this was just a small town on the ground at the foot of the Immortal City, and a guest room in an ordinary house would even cost thirty Ling per day?
Wang Chen shook his head, “Excuse me.”
Although he wasn’t poor in spirit stones, he didn’t want to be an ingrate, much less show his wealth.
In fact, it didn’t matter if he couldn’t find a place to live in the town, the big deal was to run far away and find a place to dig a hole in the ground to live in.
A piece of spirit stone do not have to spend.
What Wang Dust is best at is civil engineering!
“Twenty-five, twenty lower spirits!”
Seeing Wang Dust beat a retreat, the young girl Ziling instead became anxious and hurriedly said, “Again, pack another breakfast!”
Wang Dust laughed.
Pei Yan obviously wasn’t lying, the other party should be renting a house to someone for the first time and didn’t have half the experience of doing business.
Even if he really wanted to keep a guest, he didn’t cut himself so much!
Pei Yan was also a bit anxious: “Shang Xiu, I really didn’t lie to you, the inns in the town really don’t have any empty rooms, and Zi Ling’s sister’s rent is really cheap.”
He said three “really” in one breath, obviously wanting to facilitate this deal.
“Alright, alright.”
Wang Chen didn’t bother wasting his breath and said, “Twenty is twenty, I’ll stay for three days first.”
He took out sixty lower spirits and handed it to the other party, “If there’s a need, I’ll renew the rent.”
Zi Ling took the spirit stone, nodded and said, “Upper cultivator, please follow me.”
Pei Yan on the side bawled, “Upper cultivator ……”
Wang Chen pulled out ten spirit stones and gave them to him as a brokerage fee.
Pei Yan was instantly overjoyed and thanked him with a wide-eyed smile, “Thank you, Shang Xiu, you’re really a great person!”
Wang Chen was amused, “Don’t go yet, I still have something to find you.”
He followed Zi Ling to the second floor.
The exterior of this house looked ordinary and average, and there was nothing extravagantly decorated inside, but it was clean and elegant, and it was obvious that the owner did a good job of maintaining it on weekdays.
There were a total of three rooms on the second floor, and the one rented to Wang Duan was the guest room on the west side, which was not large and simple.
Tables, chairs, benches and beds are available, push open the north window to see the river below.
Both sides of the riverbank are full of people.
Wang Chen was quite satisfied after looking at it and felt that his sixty spirit stones had not been spent in vain.
Zi Ling gave him a key and a talisman.
The key was used to open the door of the room on the first floor, and the talisman would not touch the spell formation set up here if he carried it on his body.
That’s right, a guarding spell formation was set up inside this small house!
Zi Ling told Wang Chen that at night, after the hour of midnight, the doors of the houses would be locked and closed, and then the spell formation would open on its own.
Until the next morning at dawn.
During this period, even if Wang Chuan has a key, he can’t get in, and he can’t stay inside the town.
This was the rule of Welcome Immortal Town for hundreds of years.
Anyone who violated this rule would have serious consequences!
After settling down in the rented room, Wang Chen went downstairs again to find Pei Yan and asked the latter to take himself to the town’s restaurant.
There are a large number of inns and restaurants in this Welcome Immortal Town, but when it’s close to meal time, almost every one of them is full.
Fortunately, Pei Yan, as a local snake, knew his way around, and finally found a tavern with seats for Wang Chen.
After sitting down, Wang Chen casually ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine.
The price was so high that he was staggered.
It wasn’t that Wang Chuan couldn’t afford to eat, but the price of a few dishes in this ordinary small town tavern was even more expensive than the ones in the big restaurants in Yongle Immortal City.
It was simply outrageous!
Expensive yes, but Wang Chen was not a cheapskate and also invited Pei Yan to eat with him.
Incidentally, he asked for some information he wanted to know.
As the saying goes, a soft mouth is a soft mouth, and Pei Yan, whose mouth was stuffed with demonic beast meat, knew everything.
Only then did Wang Chen realize that he was in a bit of trouble.
After many days, the matter of Yongle Immortal City being captured by the Mountain Moving Sect had long been spread to this side, and the Mountain Moving Sect had successfully organized the grand ceremony of moving the town and opening the city, rightfully occupying this Xuan level immortal city.
As a former citizen of the city, even though Wang Chen’s Immortal Registration had been recognized by the Immortal Alliance of the Nine States, now that the Yongle Immortal City had become the Fangshan Immortal City, then Wang Chen’s Immortal Registration would need to be re-registered and replenished.
According to the protocol, he needed to go to Fangshan Immortal City to do so!
This would be troublesome.
Most importantly, Wang Chen had managed to escape from Yongle Immortal City with great difficulty, so how would he be willing to go back and throw himself into the net!
The Immortal Registration was something that could not be forged, and Wang Chen did not want to gamble on the probability that he would be safe or not when he went back.
Other than going back to Fangshan Immortal City, Wang Chen had another path to take.
That was to settle his Immortal Registration in Thousand Star Immortal City!
Don’t look at Pei Yan’s young age, but this little guy knew quite a lot, he told Wang Chuan that as long as he applied to the Household Registration Department of the Thousand Star Immortal City, and after passing it and then paying a Spirit Stone Fee, then he could become an official city resident of this Immortal City.
The system of Thousand Star Immortal City was much bigger than that of Yongle Immortal City, with seventy-two divisions and hundreds of departments set up to manage all affairs inside and outside the Immortal City, as well as the ten million city dwellers and townspeople.
As for how many spirit stones were needed, Pei Yan wasn’t sure.
He had only heard it from others before, and it was unlikely that he had ever gone through the process himself.
The truth was that cases like Wang Dust’s were still rare, after all, the Battle of Immortal Cities only occurred once every few years, and the Immortal Alliance of the Ninth State was still quite forceful in maintaining internal stability.
In addition, if Wang Chen didn’t want to pay out spirit stones, then he could also transfer his immortal registration into the Thousand Star Immortal City as long as he found a high-ranking Jindan to act as a guarantor.
There were a varying number of naturalization slots for high-ranking Jindan and Yuanyin True Immortals within the Thousand Star System every year!
It was just that for Wang Chen, this path was as good as none.
Where was he going to find a high-ranking Jindan to give himself security?
