Chapter 2
Hearing someone coming in, the man who was sitting by the window drinking alone turned around immediately, put down his glass, and stood up to greet him.
"Ji Yao, I knew that even if they didn't come, you would come!" After saying that, he opened his arms, wanting to give Lu Ji Yao a warm hug.
Lu Jiyao hurriedly turned around and hid behind Ji Mingqing, "Du Tong! Stop touching me!"
Du Tong was not surprised to see Lu Jiyao dodge, but he did not expect that Ji Mingqing did not dodge. He then hugged him straight away with a look of excitement on his face.
Ji Mingqing: "..." This man is too enthusiastic. He thought that this man would stop if he couldn't hug Lu Jiyao.
Du Tong, who had successfully carried the person, looked very satisfied and asked the two to sit down. After they sat down, Lu Jiyao spoke first, "Where is the person? Where is the person who sent you off?"
Du Tong pointed behind him helplessly. Ji Mingqing and Lu Jiyao looked behind him at the same time and saw storage bags piled up at Du Tong's feet.
"This again?" Lu Jiyao said, "You're about to leave, and they didn't even come to see us."
"I anticipated this a long time ago. Those who wanted to go out have already gone to the small world." Du Tong said as he poured wine for the two of them. Lu Jiyao saw the wine and asked in surprise, "You're willing to give this out?"
Du Tong laughed heartily. "Why should I be reluctant about this? I'm leaving soon, so it's worth celebrating!"
Lu Jiyao simply drank the wine in front of him, and then urged Ji Mingqing, "Hurry up and drink, this pot costs 200 spirit beads."
Ji Mingqing swallowed the wine without tasting anything. He only felt bitterness from his throat to his stomach.
Du Tong saw that Ji Mingqing looked unhappy and asked kindly, "What's wrong? Is there something bothering Master Ji?"
Ji Mingqing immediately realized that even though there were few people here, this was someone else's farewell party. It was really inappropriate for him to have such a gloomy face, so he quickly apologized, "Sorry, sorry, I was distracted."
Du Tong didn't care at all. "Nothing. I guess you have some worries. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Do you want to go back to the little world you once lived in?"
Ji Mingqing exclaimed, "How did you guess that?"
Du Tong waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about you. Most people who come to the fairyland want to go back and take a look. I cultivated to the level of a spiritual fairy, and the first thing I wanted to do was to go back to my hometown. When you cultivate to the level of a spiritual fairy in the future, I will invite you to visit my hometown."
"Is it only possible after cultivating to the level of a spiritual immortal?" Ji Mingqing was a little anxious. The time it took to cultivate to the level of a spiritual immortal was really too long.
"There shouldn't be any. Otherwise, how could everyone be so dedicated to cultivating just to become a Spiritual Immortal? Look at this Immortal Realm, it's a stagnant pool of water. Those who are above the Spiritual Immortals and still stay in the Immortal Realm either love quietness and never leave the house, or hold important positions in the Immortal Realm, and also..."
At this point, Du Tong suddenly stopped. Ji Mingqing's eyes lit up. He vaguely felt that what Du Tong was going to say next was very important. Sure enough, Du Tong looked at Lu Jiyao and asked, "The person you said should be able to do it too?"
Lu Jiyao immediately understood what Du Tong meant. He leaned forward and said in a low voice, "You're crazy, talking about that person here!"
After being reminded, Du Tong was a little nervous, but he continued, "That person is not a petty person. I have never heard of anyone being punished for talking about him."
Lu Jiyao nodded, "That's true, but..."
Ji Ming listened to their conversation and felt anxious, but he still followed them and asked in a low voice, "Who is that?"
"That's the one above." Lu Jiyao pointed to the sky with a hint of mystery. "I heard that he was born with natural talent and was already at the Golden Immortal level when he was born. His current level is even more unfathomable!"
"And he can control time and space at will. Forget about you wanting to go home now. With just a nod of his head, he can take you back to the beginning of chaos, or even ten thousand years from now." After saying this, Du Tong picked up his wine glass and took another swig. "It's a pity that in all the years I've been in the fairy world, I've only met him twice."
Ji Mingqing was even more confused, "Who are you talking about?"
Once the topic started, it couldn't be stopped. "We are talking about Bai Cangze, the Palace Master of Kunze Palace. Although he doesn't hold any position in the fairy world, I heard that the entire fairy world is under his control."
"Yes, that's right. Someone from the Demon Realm wanted to make trouble in the Immortal Realm before. The place where he tried to attack was thousands of miles away from Kunze Palace, but before he could do anything, he was caught red-handed by the Lord."
Ji Mingqing opened his mouth wide, "So amazing!"
"Of course, if the Immortal Realm didn't have the Lord, it might have been invaded by the Demon Realm and the Underworld long ago, especially the Demon Realm. I heard that the Lord has captured many of their spies."
Ji Mingqing didn't expect that the fairyland, which seemed comfortable and boring on the surface, actually had such undercurrents inside.
"Then it would be difficult to ask him for help..." After Ji Mingqing said this, he knew the answer by looking at the expressions of the two people.
Seeing Ji Mingqing's expression instantly turn from hope to disappointment, Du Tong couldn't bear it. Although he had no regrets before his ascension, seeing Ji Mingqing like this, he couldn't help but feel sympathy.
"Actually... it's not completely hopeless." Du Tong whispered, "About a hundred years ago, I heard someone gave that person a pearl, and he gave her a palace in return!"
Ji Mingqing's anticipation was rekindled. "Do you know what the bead is?"
Du Tong shook his head. "Then I don't know, but it must be very rare. If it can be appreciated by that person, it must be good."
After hearing this, the haze in Ji Ming's heart immediately dissipated. As long as there was a way, it would be fine. From what Du Tong and Lu Jiyao said, that person was not an unreasonable person. A bead could be exchanged for a palace. Then he would think of a way to give that person a gift. If one gift didn't work, then he would give several. One day he would be able to impress him!
"Let's go to the Yuexian Pavilion later. There should be high-level immortal artifacts there." Ji Mingqing was eager to try.
"A high-level magical weapon from the Yuexian Pavilion?" Lu Jiyao knew his own business. He and Ji Mingqing did the same job and had the same monthly salary. According to his calculations, if he wanted to buy a high-level magical weapon from the Yuexian Pavilion, it might take more time than he needed to cultivate to become a spiritual immortal.
Ji Mingqing also thought of this question, so he asked carefully: "How many spirit beads are needed to build the high-level immortal artifacts in Yuexian Pavilion?"
"When buying high-level immortal artifacts, you shouldn't use spirit beads, but immortal stones. I heard that the last time Yuexian Pavilion auctioned a Luyue Hook, the transaction price was 600,000 immortal stones."
Six hundred thousand fairy stones!
Ji Mingqing was shocked!
His current monthly salary is 200 spirit beads. 100 spirit beads can be exchanged for one immortal bead, and 10,000 spirit beads can be exchanged for one immortal stone. 600,000 immortal stones...
Ji Mingqing's mind was occupied by "zero"!
Seeing Ji Mingqing's mood visibly declining, Lu Jiyao encouraged him, "It's okay. We can find other ways to make a living. Look at me, I often go to the fighting arena as a sparring partner, and I can also make some extra money every day."
"The fighting arena, isn't that a place for fighting? Can I go there?" Ji Mingqing asked, and he also became interested.
Du Tong immediately interrupted, "He has wolf-demon blood. When he's a sparring partner, he's in half-wolf form. He's incredibly powerful. You're a pure-blooded human, so you can't do that."
Ji Mingqing hadn't expected that part-time jobs would even consider physical fitness. He was a little overwhelmed. He leaned back and muttered, "Never mind. Let's just leave it at that. I'll..."
Ji Mingqing couldn't bring himself to say "I don't really want to go back either." He bit his lip and said with determination, "At worst, I'll go..."
What to do? Ji Mingqing fell into deep thought.
"Forget it, you've only been here a short time. Now that you have this direction, you can think about it freely. I don't have much time left in the fairy world, and I don't know if some of the problems can be solved."
"What's your problem?" Shouldn't you be happy that you can go back to your hometown?
Du Tong sighed and said, "Before I left, I sold all my unused assets. All I had left was a piece of land and a residence. After I registered the residence, someone will come and take care of it from time to time for free, but that piece of land..."
Du Tong paused, then said with some worry, "If I hire someone to take care of that piece of land, it would be a considerable expense. But if I just leave it there, the Supervision Office will fine me for 'wasting fairyland assets,' so I want to sell it."
"Who would have thought that no one wanted this big trouble? Sooner or later, we'll all leave here anyway, so who would buy a burden to bring back?"
Du Tong slammed his hand on the table, "I shouldn't have listened to others and bought a product that cost me money!"
"You've been hanging there for three hundred years, so you definitely can't sell it. If you ask me, you should prepare the fine in advance, otherwise you will be put on the disciplinary list."
Is it okay to leave the land barren? Newly promoted immortal Ji Mingqing found this a bit novel.
"Why can't we just leave it there? I saw a lot of wasteland along the way just now. Are they all owned by someone?"
"This law actually makes sense. After all, the Immortal Realm relies on the spiritual energy generated by these spiritual creatures to function. If they are all abandoned, how is the Immortal Realm different from the Demon Realm?"
Du Tong also nodded in agreement, "Indeed, if I can't sell it, I can only hire other immortals to help me take care of it."
"That piece of land..." Ji Mingqing's mind turned, but he didn't say much. After the three of them finished their meal and said goodbye to the tipsy Du Tong, Ji Mingqing carefully asked Lu Jiyao: "If I buy that piece of land, do you think it's feasible?"
Lu Jiyao glanced at him suspiciously, "Why did you buy that?"
Ji Mingqing didn't know why he had this idea. He just had a strong affinity for land since he was a child. However, due to limited conditions, owning his own land was a fantasy.
Just now, as he listened to Du Tong's talk, he felt an urge surge in his chest. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He had rarely felt this way since he was a child. Now he felt exactly like the night before his first spring outing in elementary school. In addition to excitement and anticipation, he also felt a little impatient.
He doesn't want to miss such an opportunity!
The author has something to say:
1 immortal stone = 100 immortal beads = 10,000 spiritual beads
It's settled like this
Because if it's more complicated, I don't really understand it [shy]
