After wandering around for a while, Chen An and others saw an inn and walked in together.

Because of the spirit gathering array, the guest rooms here are very expensive.

The cheapest level costs 30 low-grade spirit stones a day.

Medium grade, 50 low-grade spirit stones per day.

The most luxurious level requires one medium-grade spirit stone, which means 100 low-grade spirit stones a day.

Chen An thought that he would only be staying for a few days, so he booked a luxurious room.

After all, we are a family of five, and we are afraid that they will not live comfortably if the house is too small.

Besides, things are different now than before. We are so much richer, so we must reward ourselves occasionally and enjoy ourselves more.

"Master Chen Dan, I won't live here anymore. I have a friend in the redwood forest and I plan to stay with her for a while. We'll meet again some other day."

After seeing Chen An check in the room, Shen Qingyi said goodbye to him, turned around and walked out the door.

Chen An saw this and shouted, "Fellow Daoist Shen, wait a moment."

"Master Chen Dan, is there anything I can help you with?" Shen Qingyi stopped and turned around to ask.

Chen Bo said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, we are now in a foreign land. We are two of the few people who know each other. We need to visit each other more often in the future. But when I want to visit you, I don't know how to contact you."

Shen Qingyi took out a sound transmission talisman from her storage bag and handed it to Chen An, saying, "Master Chen, take this sound transmission talisman. You can use it to contact me anytime in the future."

Chen An took the sound transmission note.

After trying it and making sure I could send a message to Shen Qingyi.

As soon as I thought about it, I put it into the storage bag.

Shen Qingyi said goodbye again: "Master Chen, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. We will meet again another day."

"Fellow Daoist Shen, wait a moment."

"Master Chen, do you have anything else to do?"

"I just want to ask, is your friend a boy or a girl? If I want to visit you someday, I can help you choose a gift."

"It's a female cultivator."

"Friend Shen, take care. We'll meet again when we have time."

"good."

After saying this, Shen Qingyi turned around and walked out of the inn.

She didn't have any so-called female cultivator friends. It was simply because she didn't have many spirit stones on her now, and she had to save them before she found a way to make a living. She planned to find a place with few people and camp for a few days to relieve the financial pressure.

When I find a way to make a living, I will rent a house and settle down in the redwood forest.

Chen An didn't know what she was thinking.

Otherwise, no matter what I just said, I would have to pay for an extra room for her to stay in the inn.

The guest rooms were booked and the wife and daughter were settled in.

Chen An went downstairs alone, stuffed a medium-grade spirit stone into the innkeeper's hand, and asked him about the situation in this area.

After some understanding, I found out.

Most people in this area make a living by hunting monsters.

The largest hunting party is the Tiandi Sect.

Below are various gangs and families.

Further down are the independent cultivators.

Unlike the bamboo forest, although the redwood forest is affiliated with the Tiandi Sect, the Tiandi Sect does not manage the redwood forest and does not provide protection.

To put it simply, the redwood forest is not a residential area developed by the Tiandi Sect, but a residential area that was formed by some gangs, families, and individual cultivators who came here to settle down and slowly grew stronger, thinking that it would be better to stay under the shade of the big trees.

However, the Tiandi Sect had no objection to this and simply allowed these people to live outside their sect.

It’s not that the Tiandi Sect is easy-going, but that the Tiandi Sect feels that this can be mutually beneficial.

For example, things like recruiting disciples for the sect, purchasing various materials, etc., can be done directly in the redwood forest by the Tiandi Sect, without having to send people to travel around the world to complete them as they did long ago.

Since the Tiandi Sect did not intervene, the redwood forest was basically divided and occupied by various gangs and families.

The inn where Chen An is now is run by a Jindan family in the forest.

There are many gangs.

There will inevitably be conflicts of interest.

Therefore, although the redwood forest is located on the outskirts of the Tiandi Sect and will not be invaded by monsters, internal strife occurs from time to time and conflicts among various forces often occur.

Deaths happen all the time.

After learning all this, Chen An's brows suddenly frowned.

I used to live in a bamboo forest. Although life was a bit hard, at least it was much more stable.

He lived there for more than ten or twenty years before being forced to move out due to the war between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and the Black Iron Villa.

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, the redwood forest seemed a little unstable.

Chen An fell into deep thought.

Thinking that he was now a great foundation-building expert, could he find a place with few people outside to start his own business? In this way, he could avoid many unnecessary conflicts between forces.

But on second thought, this approach is not feasible.

The mountain and sea region is not comparable to the Great Thousand Regions.

In the Great Thousand Realms, cultivators who have established their foundation can set up their own sects and protect an area.

In the mountain and sea areas, there are always foundation-building monsters coming out to look for food, and occasionally even golden elixir monsters come out to look for food.

The so-called great foundation-building masters find it difficult to protect themselves here.

Not to mention the Foundation Establishment masters, even the Golden Core masters dare not set up their own sects in some uninhabited areas, and have to rely on some Nascent Soul sects to survive.

After thinking it through, Chen An decided to stay in this redwood forest.

But you still need to spend some time to figure out where to live specifically.

After all, the forces in the redwood forest are complicated. If you choose the wrong place to live, you will inevitably be affected by the conflicts between various forces in the future.

Thinking about it, Chen An asked, "Manager Zeng, I am a casual cultivator who moved here from the Great Thousand Territory. I know some alchemy skills and would like to settle down in the Redwood Forest. Do you have any good places to recommend?"

Shopkeeper Zeng was also an honest man. He smiled and said, "Master Chen Dan, if you want me to introduce someone, I would definitely recommend the Zeng family."

"If you have excellent alchemy skills, you can apply to become a guest alchemist of my Zeng family."

"We can provide you with free accommodation then."

"If they get along well, they can even marry to deepen their relationship."

"By the way, the ancestor of my Zeng family is a great power in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and he is ranked as the strongest person in the Redwood Forest."

When he said the last sentence, a hint of pride appeared on Shopkeeper Zeng's face.

Chen An was a very good person. After hearing this, he boasted about the Zeng family a few times, which made Manager Zeng feel very proud.

After that, he asked, "Manager Zeng, if I don't want to join any forces and want to settle here as a casual cultivator, do you have any good places to recommend?"

Shopkeeper Zeng quickly replied, "As for the place where independent cultivators live, there is currently only one place in the redwood forest, Baicao Lane. There are always private houses for rent and sale there. If Master Chen has time, you can go there and take a look."

"Thank you, Manager Zeng, for letting me know."

Chen An said this with a smile, and quickly said goodbye and left.

He returned to the guest room and talked with his wives and concubines about his next plans and asked for their opinions.

The wives and concubines were all very sensible and said they would obey their husbands in everything.

After chatting for a while, the young wife Song Huaying suddenly asked: "Husband, um...are you attracted to Fairy Shen?"

After these words were spoken, Wen Zhiyun and Gu Xinyue both looked at Chen An's face.

Chen An did not hide it and told the truth: "To be honest, my husband does have a crush on Fellow Daoist Shen."

After he finished speaking, he asked his three wives and concubines, "What do you three think? Do you think this Daoist Fellow Shen is okay?"

Song Huaying didn't even think twice, her face full of smiles and anticipation as she said, "My husband, Fairy Shen is so cool, I want to recognize her as my sister, can you try to marry her home as soon as possible?"

Gu Xinyue had no objection and said, "As long as my husband likes it."

Wen Zhiyun was reluctant in her heart, but as a concubine, she knew very well that she had no say in the matter, so she could only compromise and said, "Husband, we don't know much about Fellow Daoist Shen yet, so let's get to know him better first."
