Chapter 3
"Do you really want to buy land?" Lu Jiyao looked at Ji Mingqing in surprise, "It will be difficult to sell it after you buy it, and you might even lose money." Their monthly salary is not much, and they have to save money to buy various things that can help with their cultivation. After buying the land, they will definitely be in debt for a long time.
"Yes, I really want to buy land." Ji Mingqing had inquired and found out that the reason why people didn't like to buy land was that cheap magic herbs couldn't be sold at a high price, while expensive magic herbs would take hundreds of years to grow, and during these hundreds of years they would be lost, often only one in ten would remain.
But Ji Mingqing had an inexplicable confidence, and was even eager to buy the land. Even though reason told him that he might lose everything, he really wanted to own a piece of land of his own.
It’s decided! Let’s go!
Ji Mingqing has no money now, but he has thought of a countermeasure. Generally speaking, Du Tong should stay in the small world for at least a hundred years before coming back. He plans to sign an agreement with Du Tong to pay in installments. After a hundred years, he will always earn it back!
Ji Mingqing was full of confidence, so when Lu Jiyao contacted Du Tong, Du Tong agreed without even thinking about it, and was even so excited that he wanted to give Ji Mingqing some reduction!
Ji Mingqing quickly calculated in his mind that he would definitely give a discount, but he also had to consider the fact that he had to pay in installments, so he did not bargain too much. He thought he would be thankful for a 10% discount, but he did not expect Du Tong to wave his hand.
"Five hundred?" Ji Mingqing looked at Du Tong, who was standing in front of him with a guilty conscience, in disbelief. Du Tong heard Ji Mingqing's suddenly raised voice and immediately said, "I can lower it even more!"
It would cost at least twenty fairy beads a year to hire someone to manage a piece of land as large as his. He would have to stay in the small world for at least a hundred years, or even longer. The expenses would be quite a lot.
"How about this, you don't have to give me a discount anymore. Just help me contact some people. I want to build a small house at your place." Ji Mingqing had just arrived and couldn't find the way. Lu Jiyao also didn't know anything, so he suddenly had an idea and wanted to ask Du Tong for help.
Du Tong immediately agreed, "Okay, leave the building to me. What kind of house do you want?"
"It doesn't need to be too big. I live alone, so a yard is enough." Ji Mingqing felt that a simple small house would be enough for him. "If you are in a hurry to leave, just connect me with the immortal who built the house."
Du Tong immediately patted his chest and promised. After they separated, Ji Mingqing returned to his own small courtyard. He lay on his bed, not even a slumber away, his eyes wide open, staring at the rooftop. If anyone could see him like this, they would surely be infected by the hope in his eyes.
Ji Mingqing didn't understand the source of his excitement. Perhaps it was because he longed for a sense of belonging as he had moved frequently since he was a child, or perhaps it was because he was finally one step closer to his goal.
In short, he has land!
The next morning, Ji Mingqing went out early and signed a contract with Du Tong. The price was 500 immortal pearls, to be repaid in five installments. The moment he received the contract, Ji Mingqing's heart suddenly settled down.
Before he could warm up the contract, Du Tong put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Come on, I'll treat you to a meal!"
Du Tong felt relieved after putting down the heavy burden. "Let's call the immortal who built your house. He finished it last night. Let's go after dinner to see if there is anything that needs to be changed."
"So fast!" He had just finished talking to Du Tong yesterday, and it was already completed today. The speed of the fairy world was really too fast.
Du Tong laughed heartily at Ji Mingqing, who was in awe. "You'll understand once you've spent more time in the Immortal Realm. Building a house overnight isn't uncommon."
Ji Mingqing, who was somewhat shocked, took a deep breath. He was a god now. Although he was just an insignificant little god, it was different from when he was a human.
For example, when he swept the floor in the past, he had to use a broom!
Du Tong took Ji Mingqing to the restaurant they had visited last time. Ji Mingqing stood in front of the restaurant, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?" Du Tong stopped as he was about to enter the restaurant and turned around to ask, "Why don't you come in?"
Ji Mingqing pursed his lips and finally spoke, "To celebrate our successful transaction, I'll treat you today." Ji Mingqing said, "I'm new here and don't know much. How about you take me to try somewhere else?"
Du Tong turned around and scratched his head. "It's not impossible, but if we want to go to another restaurant, it will take me three days to fly there, and it will take you about half a month. But if you take the Duanyun car..."
Ji Mingqing quickly interrupted Du Tong's next words, "Another restaurant, it would take us so long to get there?!"
Du Tong patted Ji Mingqing's shoulder with an experienced tone and said, "This is also the reason why everyone is desperately trying to leave the fairyland. Even if you can't get used to the food here, there's nothing you can do. That's just how he is."
It’s not that Ji Mingqing can’t get used to the food. The dishes here can only be described in four words.
So boring!
Don’t gods have a sense of taste? Ji Mingqing didn’t understand.
"It's okay. The house is built. You can cook for yourself." Du Tong smiled and pulled Ji Mingqing. "Let's go. I'll take you to meet Brother Zhao. He's a very reliable man. If you need any help in the future, he will definitely be able to help you."
Ji Mingqing, with a look of despair on his face, was pulled into the restaurant by Du Tong. Today, just like the last time he came, there was only one table inside.
However, this time the person waiting by the window did not drink out of boredom like Du Tong, but sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was doing.
As if he had heard Ji Mingqing's question, Du Tong began to explain, "He's practicing. He practices whenever he has time. He's only been practicing for over six hundred years, but he's about to reach the level of a Spiritual Immortal."
Ji Mingqing suddenly realized that this seemed to be one of the people who were going to leave the fairyland. All the people he met after coming to the fairyland had the goal of leaving here, which showed how boring the fairyland was.
Hearing Du Tong's voice, the man sitting on the ground opened his eyes. He turned to look at the two of them and grinned, "You're here."
Ji Mingqing felt relieved. It seemed that he was also a cheerful person.
There was no need for much introduction to the few of them. Du Tong clicked on the formation on the table, and all the dishes appeared on the table. Ji Mingqing knew that this was the effect of the formation, but he was still surprised when he saw it again.
"Zhao Jingying, tell Xiao Ji how you built your house?"
It turned out that the man who built the house was named Zhao Jingying. He cleared his throat and said, "According to Master Ji's request, I built a two-story courtyard. The second floor is a bedroom, and the first floor is a main hall and kitchen. They all face north and south. There is a warehouse on the east side for storage, and a tall tree on the west side. It is similar to the layout of Kunze Palace."
Ji Mingqing almost lost his breath, "Is this okay? Will it be offensive?" Ji Mingqing asked cautiously.
"How is that possible! He is the most broad-minded person and won't care about these trivial matters, and..." Zhao Jingying wanted to continue speaking excitedly, but was immediately interrupted by Du Tong.
"Alright, alright, I know the Lord saved your life." After saying that, Du Tong turned to Ji Mingqing and said, "Look, he's so anxious to practice, just to take the Kunze Palace test."
"It's not about leaving the fairyland..." Ji Mingqing blurted out. Du Tong laughed and said, "It can be considered as wanting to leave the fairyland. Kunze Palace has to send people to patrol the small world frequently. I can't do it. I will definitely not pass the assessment. I can only pay for it myself."
"I'm not leaving the fairyland. If I can stay in Kunze Palace for a long time and see the Lord often, I will be satisfied." Zhao Jingying said with some longing.
This should be the star chasing in the fairy world, but if there is a chance, Ji Mingqing really wants to see what the lord looks like. He must be very majestic and serious, with many fairies surrounding him, and the scene is very grand.
"But then again, how did Immortal Zhao know how to build a house? Did he learn it in the fairyland?" Ji Mingqing asked.
Zhao Jingying shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I've been learning construction from my father since I was a child. I had already been an apprentice for a long time before coming to the fairyland."
"You were..." Ji Mingqing became even more curious.
"I come from the Huihuan Small World. Ours is similar to the Immortal Realm. As long as you practice, you can increase your cultivation. When you reach a certain level, you can travel to another world." After saying this, Zhao Jingying laughed and said, "At that time, everyone thought that reaching the pinnacle of cultivation would lead to immortality. Who knew that in the eyes of true immortals, it was just a journey from one small world to another."
I didn’t expect that the composition of the fairy world is so diverse, Ji Mingqing thought secretly. There are ordinary people like him, werewolves like Lu Jiyao, and people from the world of cultivation like Zhao Jingying who can only be seen in novels.
I don’t know what kind of people I will meet in the future.
Ji Mingqing was a little excited.
After a dull meal, they left the restaurant and came to Dutong... which was now Ji Mingqing's place. As soon as they arrived, Ji Mingqing was attracted by the two-story building.
The house was built by Zhao Jingying at the foot of the mountain. In Ji Mingqing's eyes, this land was a good place with mountains and water. The most eye-catching thing was that there was a waterfall standing on the mountainside, forming a wide river that flowed down the mountain and divided the land into two halves. This was an advantage in Ji Mingqing's eyes, but in Du Tong's eyes, it was a complete disadvantage.
"Look, this river divides this place into two halves. It's difficult to walk on either side."
Ji Mingqing disagreed. "Such a large area of land cannot be utilized with just one mechanism. This river can perfectly divide the area and provide different functional zones."
Du Tong and Zhao Jingying were confused, but Ji Mingqing was eager to try it out.
He had already started to have ideas about how to use this land.
He can't wait any longer!
The author has something to say:
I'm taking a day off tomorrow. As I was writing, I suddenly had a new idea and felt that the outline could be improved.
