Chapter 391 – New Residence
Hearing Han Li’s words, Lu Er froze and couldn’t help but glance towards the hands of the two.
Only after seeing the red finger ring did he reveal a look of realization and said, “So Immortal Master intends to live in this city for a long time! This matter is easy to handle, have you two immortal masters seen those houses built on the holy mountain? As long as you rent a random residence on the mountain, you can cultivate. I heard from the other immortal masters that the whole holy mountain is a natural spiritual vein, and the higher the location of the rented house on the mountain, the more abundant the spiritual qi will be, and of course, the price will be more expensive. If you don’t want to rent a house and prefer to practice alone, you can also rent a ready-made cave to have your own private area, but I’ve heard that the cost can be much more expensive than residential ah! And no matter whether the house or cave is billed for a hundred years, every hundred years you have to re-pay the fee again, if you can’t pay the next fee, it will also be taken back by the Star Palace’s immortal masters.” Lu Er numbly and unusually explained to Han Li.
”Oh, could it be that as long as one has enough spirit stones, one can also rent a place to cultivate on the top floor?” Hearing this, Han Li revealed a rather interested expression.
”Immortal Master is joking, of course this is not possible.” Lu Er shook his head like a rattle.
”The Sacred Mountain is categorized as one layer for every circling from bottom to top, and is divided into a total of eighty-one layers. The first fifty floors are open to foreign Immortal Masters, as long as they have spirit stones they can rent a place to cultivate, while the last thirty floors are only for the adults of the Star Palace. As for the highest floor it’s the Sacred Palace, it’s the residence of the two Lord Sacred Masters, no one is allowed to enter.” Lu Er said sardonically.
After Han Li thought about it, he said flatly, “Fine, show me the way! Find a residence first.”
”Yes, little man will lead the way. Immortal Master just fly towards that holy mountain, there’s an attic at the foot of the mountain that is specialized in dealing with this matter.”
As soon as the words fell, the Divine Wind Boat turned into a white light and vanished towards the giant mountain in the distance.
The huge mountain didn’t seem far away, but Han Yu flew for a quarter of an hour before he was really close to the foot of the mountain. Under the guidance of Lu Erdi, the divine wind boat landed in front of a rather imposing pavilion.
In addition to Han Li, here out in and out of the cultivators, actually quite a lot of appearance, from time to time there is light in the air or landing.
Han Li looked around for a few moments, then brought Qu Soul and Lu Er into the building with tall steps.
As soon as he entered this building, he saw that there were a dozen or so cultivator-like people inside the building, in front of five or six lone stone tables and a white-clothed cultivator talking about something. Some of these people were extremely happy, some were sad, and there were even two people rushing across to the white-clothed cultivator begging bitterly for something, really different looks!
Han Li watched everything in front of him in silence, spectating for a while.
”Lord Immortal Master, there’s no one over there, should we go over?” A moment later, Lu Er cautiously gave Han Li a reminder. That stone table that had just been left empty and unoccupied, Han Li naturally saw it as well and nodded.
But this time, it was Qu Soul who took the lead and walked over, with Han Li following in its wake. This change caused Lu Er, who had always thought that Han Li was the one in charge, to freeze and follow him over in slight surprise.
”Does senior want to rent a mansion in Sacred Mountain? I wonder how many floors you’re planning on? The upper floors can be expensive!” This Star Palace cultivator’s eyes flicked around Qu Soul’s body before he immediately said with a show of respect.
It seemed that cultivators who had formed dan, wherever they were, made people respect them, which was also the reason Han Li had asked Qu Soul to step forward.
”Want a cave, is there a ready-made one? The higher the level, the better!” Qu Soul said expressionlessly.
”Cave house? Senior wait a moment, I’ll check!” Hearing Qu Soul’s tone so big, the white-clothed cultivator’s spirit was revitalized, and he hurriedly took out a jade slip and began to look for it.
”There! 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 construction and utility of the caves.” The white-clothed cultivator took out several jade slips in a row and placed them on the stone table.
Qu Soul sniffed and nonchalantly grabbed them one by one and examined them with his divine sense.
Han Li had always thought that he didn’t lack spirit stones, and also thought that he was considered a small wealthy man even amongst the JieDan stage cultivators, but after looking at the rental fees for these cave dwellings, he was still shocked.
That forty-seven layers of cave houses aside, is the thirty-something layers of a few cave houses, let Han Li meat pain. Only a hundred years of use, the cost is as high as two or three thousand spirit stones, really expensive ah!
Seeing Qu Soul’s face change slightly in a silent manner, the opposite cultivator seemed to have guessed what the other party had in mind, so he explained with a smile, “Senior! Although our Sacred Mountain’s Spiritual Vein doesn’t dare to say that it’s the first in the Sea of Chaotic Stars, it’s still undoubtedly ranked among the top five. This is cultivating at the foothills of the Sacred Mountain, and the speed is all much stronger than the best part of a normal spirit vein. As for after the 30th floor, the cultivation speed can almost accelerate by more than a quarter, which is why the cost of the cave is so expensive, but it’s definitely worth it!”
Hearing this, Han Li frowned.
And at this time, Qu Soul had already checked all the jade slips.
”Just this one!” At Han Li’s command, Qu Soul grabbed a jade slip and handed it over, which was precisely a more functional cave on the thirty-ninth floor.
”Good, the cost is two thousand seven hundred spirit stones!” Seeing that Qu Soul was really going to rent a valuable cave residence, the white-clothed cultivator was equally happy in his heart, and he hurriedly and neatly said.
This time, Han Li didn’t let Qu Soul do it, and took the initiative himself to feel out two dozen middle-ranked spirit stones from his storage pouch and handed them over to the other party.
”This is the cave’s forbidden token, holding this token will allow you to freely enter and exit this cave. However, after a hundred years, this token will be taken back, I hope that senior will keep it properly.” As soon as the cultivator collected the spirit stones, he pulled out a yellow token with a big smile and handed it to Qu Soul.
Qu Soul put the token away and left without saying a word.
Han Li and Lu Er, who hadn’t dared to interrupt, followed closely out of the building.
”It’s really frighteningly expensive! To find a place to cultivate, it’s surprising that you need so many spirit stones.” As soon as he walked out of the building, Han Li let out a long breath and muttered somewhat depressedly. This next time, it had shrunk his fortune by quite a bit!
”I wonder, do the two Immortal Masters still need to go somewhere below?” Lu Er asked in a low voice after stealing a glance at Han Li. He had long since been stunned by Han Li’s largesse in taking out such spirit stones. In the past, although he had also served as a guide for other Immortal cultivators, those Immortal Masters had spent at most a dozen or tens of Spirit Stones, and to spend 2,000 or 3,000 Spirit Stones at a time was something he had only heard of in the past, but had only seen with his own eyes this time around.
At that moment, Lu Er became more and more respectful to Han Li, and his confidence in being able to get paid rose even more. After all, the other party had made such a great offer, and as long as he satisfied the other party, he definitely wouldn’t be able to renege on his tiny bit of spirit stones.
”Take me to the city’s marketplace to take a look, and at the same time introduce the larger stores for me to listen to.” Han Li said casually after glancing at Lu Er.
Then he took Qu Soul and Lu Er once again onto the Divine Wind Boat and took off into the air.
……
Most of the day later, Han Li was lying on a large wooden bed, his hands padded behind his head as he thought about something.
Not long ago, he had parted ways after giving the other party the agreed-upon payment after familiarizing himself with the important premises of the entire Heavenly Star City under Lu Er’s introduction. Only after watching Lu Er leave happily did he arrive alone at this thirty-nine story cave mansion that he had spent a heavenly price to rent.
This cave mansion was indeed the same as the jade slip’s introduction, not only was it more remote and quiet, but it also had a not-so-small empty medicine garden. But what makes Han Li even more satisfied is that the aura here is extremely abundant, and is really far from being comparable to an ordinary spiritual vein. It is the old cave in the previous days in the south of the sky, compared to it, is not a little bit worse.
This in turn made Han Li feel that it was worth it!
This cave comes with the formation ban is also called very powerful, actually not more than his set of simplified version of the “Upside Down Five Elements Formation” where the difference looks.
Although so, but Han Li does not rest assured that all rely on the cave original formation to maintain their own safety, he intends to rest a little after tomorrow in the outside of this formation, in their own sets of large formations laid down. In this way is really called stable, he has time to re-plan his own cultivation plan.
Thinking about it, Han Li unconsciously fell into a sweet sleep. During these months, he had been flying bumpily on his magic weapon, and was truly exhausted!
Early in the morning of the second day, Han Li started to get busy as soon as he woke up.
In one breath, he set up three more sets of large formations outside the cave, and then he planted all sorts of medicinal herbs and elixirs in the empty medicine garden so that they could be used to ripen the elixirs in the future. Finally, he went to the market to buy a lot of top-grade jade, back to the cave, will be these jade inlaid in a dozen square feet of the size of the chamber, did not let go of an inch of the place.
Only after turning the stone wall of the chamber into a jade disk did Han Li carefully drop those Gold Devouring Insects into it.
He had high expectations for these highly ranked insects, and planned to properly train them to help him in the future.
