Chapter 94 Senior Chu in the Newcomer Area (Subscription Request)
After spending five spirit stones the size of fingers, Chu Ning finally had his own house in the inner city.
Rented.
Ten-year lease.
This is the minimum rental standard during the condensation period.
No refund upon termination of lease.
The Wen Jin Sect directly packaged up the houses in the inner city and sold them, which was a bit like selling the land to a real estate company.
These real estate companies will naturally pursue profits when they build houses for rent.
Therefore, short-term rentals are not allowed, but long-term rentals are allowed, and the closer to the outside, the longer the rental period.
Firstly, these young monks often fight with each other and may die soon, so the rent can be considered as profit.
Secondly, if your realm is improved, you can move to a location with richer spiritual energy and also earn a few years of rent for free.
"It's a bit like those big cities. The monks come to the city to work, and half of their earnings go into rent."
Chu Ning walked towards the inner city holding a token representing the tenant of the house.
There is a formation between the inner city and the outer city. Even a strong foundation-building person cannot force his way in, but there is no such problem if you come out from inside.
Because he had the token in his hand, when Chu Ning stepped into the inner city area, he only felt a wave of energy sweeping through him, but it quickly disappeared.
"Is this the inner city formation scan?"
Chu Ning squinted his eyes and looked around, but found nothing. He did not stop and continued to walk forward. Soon he found the house he rented.
Well, his house was only two miles away from the inner city border.
The houses are not the ordinary ones in the streets and alleys. Each one is a stand-alone building, which is better than Chu Ning imagined.
Originally, he thought that the house he rented in the early stage of Qi Condensation would not be like a slum.
"I'm overthinking. After all, he is a cultivator. Even at the lowest level, he should be better than ordinary people. If he farms and lives in the slums, what's the point of cultivating? Even if he has a heart that aspires to be strong, he can't stand such torture."
Thinking of some of the cultivation literature he had read before, many of the lower-class cultivators lived like the poor people in the slums. He wondered, how could there still be people who cultivate immortality under such circumstances?
They not only farm but also plant rice, they are exploited, and it takes a long time to build a solid foundation.
It's ridiculous that those young monks can still persist in this situation.
After opening the door, Chu Ning walked around the yard. This house was an ordinary two-courtyard house. The front yard was used for meeting guests, and the back was reserved for the owner.
"The spiritual energy here is richer than anywhere else I've been along the way, but I didn't come here for the spiritual energy."
From the moment he entered the inner city, Chu Ning felt the increase of spiritual energy around him. One can imagine how dense the spiritual energy becomes as one goes deeper.
In fact, with his current state of late Qi Condensation, the spiritual energy here is simply not enough for him to absorb and refine.
Fortunately, he is not short of spiritual energy for the time being, and the spiritual energy provided by the longevity fruit every day is enough for him to absorb.
Renting a house in the inner city is just to be able to travel around the city.
"The first thing I need to do now is to have a general understanding of this area, and also to have a detailed understanding of the progress and realm of cultivation."
Whether it was some notes obtained by Wushuang Sect or Jiuxuan Pavilion, they only recorded up to the foundation-building stage. The most important thing was that they did not specify in detail what was considered a genius and what was considered average aptitude.
"It's a pity that the Concealing Strength Technique is not very effective now, and it can't completely hide my realm."
The skill of hiding strength was still useful when he first entered the Grandmaster stage, which was the late stage of Qi Condensation. However, as the spiritual energy in his body continued to increase, the skill of hiding strength could no longer be hidden.
If it weren't for this reason, he would have hidden his strength to the middle stage of Qi Condensation when entering the city.
Chu Ning did not rush out to explore, but stayed in his house for ten days.
…
…
In the inner city, in a mansion with pavilions and towers, a middle-aged man was listening to the report from his subordinates.
"This person has stayed in the house for ten days without going out? It seems that he really lives there for a purpose. I think he has spent all his belongings in order to break through to the late stage of Qi Condensation."
Yang Chaolie had made a judgment in his mind that there were quite a few such cultivators. With their average qualifications, they could only rely on various elixirs and resources to improve their realm.
As for looking younger, maybe it’s because she took the anti-aging pills.
The anti-aging pill is not expensive.
The only elixir that can maintain one's appearance unchanged for ten years is five spirit stones.
An average monk can eat five.
The expensive ones are the anti-aging pills that can last for more than a hundred years.
He is a cultivator in the late Qi Condensation stage. He may be poor now, but maybe he was once rich?
It is impossible to cultivate to the late stage of Qi Condensation if you are not rich.
"No need to monitor anymore, just wait and see." Yang Chaolie said lightly.
…
Inside his room, Chu Ning showed a playful smile on his face. The people who were monitoring him finally withdrew.
As early as the first day he moved in, he found someone was watching him outside his room.
When he first discovered it, he was a little nervous. Who would come to monitor him? He asked Jin Cheng that he had no enemies and had never offended anyone.
But after thinking about it, Chu Ning found where the problem lay.
It's his own fault.
In order to save some spirit stones, he rented the worst house, which attracted other people's attention.
A cultivator in the late Qi Condensation stage lives among cultivators in the early Qi Condensation stage. It is hard not to doubt his motives.
The people who were monitoring him withdrew, probably because they had determined, based on their observations over the past ten days, that he had no other purpose and was simply out of poverty.
"I made a mistake. No matter what role you play in the future, you must do things that are consistent with that role."
After reflecting again, Chu Ning took out a jade slip, a blank jade slip from the Jiuxuan Pavilion. He put his spiritual consciousness into it and recorded the words he had just said in the jade slip.
Reflect, record, and repeat...
This was a habit Chu Ning developed in his previous life.
Every time I complete a big deal, or experience a big event, or have any insights, I will write them down in my notebook and take them out to read them every once in a while to remind myself not to make the same mistake again.
[Don’t take risks to pursue opportunities. Opportunities don’t have a name on who they belong to. Giving up opportunities means losing something that doesn’t belong to you, but at least you won’t suffer a loss.]
[The purpose of cultivating immortals is to live a stable life. It is okay to suffer a little for the sake of cultivating immortals, but don’t put the cart before the horse. The goal is to live a good life, not a hard life. ]
[One question, two cuts, three burials...]
Even in the jade slip, Chu Ning did not mention any information related to the longevity fruit, and some words were even written in a way that only he could understand.
Now I add one last sentence.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
【Play an identity, keeping in mind the characteristics and behaviors of that identity class. 】
After writing, Chu Ning withdrew his spiritual sense and then his eyes fell on the mirror in front of him.
During these ten days, he spent more time studying this mirror.
This palm-sized mirror does not require any refining or anything. It is useful as long as it reflects light on people, but it is useless against black snakes.
"It can only show the things that happened to me when I was a child, but not a single thing about me after I traveled through time. Is it because I traveled through time and space, and I have already changed my soul, so the mirror can't show anything?"
Chu Ning is very interested in this mirror. It can tell a person's past experiences and if used well, it will be of great use.
Of course, Chu Ning would not use this mirror on those foundation-building masters. Regardless of whether he could take a picture of them or not, sometimes knowing the secrets of people who are much stronger than you is not a good thing.
"Someone is coming."
Feeling some movement at the door, Chu Ning put the mirror in his arms.
At the gate of the courtyard, there were seven young men and women standing, three women and four men. Two of the women looked exactly the same, except that one was wearing a yellow dress and the other was wearing a green dress. They were actually twins.
Although her looks are similar to Han Ying, being twins is an added bonus.
However, these seven people are all in the initial stage of Qi Condensation.
"This person hasn't shown up since he moved in. I guess he doesn't like interacting with people. Why not just forget it?"
"We should say hello. We are going to live here for many years and we will be neighbors from now on."
"The person should be in the house. I shouted..."
squeak!
The courtyard door was opened and Chu Ning appeared in front of the seven people.
"My fellow Taoist, we all live in this area. I came here specially to say hello. We will all be neighbors from now on. My name is Su Yue."
When the female cultivator from the green group saw Chu Ning, her eyes lit up and she quickly introduced herself and others. But when she introduced her companions, she was confused because she found that their expressions became nervous.
"younger sister!"
Su Qing quickly pulled her sister's sleeve, but her sister was too careless to notice it. However, they all felt that this person was a strong man in the late stage of Qi Condensation.
For cultivators like them who are in the early stage of Qi Condensation, those in the late stage of Qi Condensation are existences that they need to look up to.
On weekdays, I can only watch from afar, and I dare not even stare at her for a long time, for fear of causing misunderstanding and bringing disaster to myself.
"My sister is outspoken, please forgive me, senior."
Su Qing apologized quickly. Su Yueyu covered her mouth with her hand, her pretty face showing panic and fear.
"It's okay, my name is Chu Ning."
There was silence at the scene because Su Qing and others didn't know how to respond to Chu Ning's words.
These cultivators in the early stage of Qi Condensation are all independent cultivators who embarked on the path of cultivation by chance. They have no experience in dealing with high-level cultivators. Even if they chat with some powerful cultivators on a daily basis, they are all in the middle stage of Qi Condensation. Now they are suddenly faced with a big man in the late stage of Qi Condensation and they really don’t know what to do.
"Senior Chu, we won't bother you anymore."
Finally, it was another man who spoke. Chu Ning nodded and closed the door again.
Once the door was closed, Su Qing and the others didn't dare to stay at the door and left in a hurry. Only after they were far away did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"This is a great man in the late stage of Qi Condensation. This feeling of oppression is too strong."
"How can such a big guy live in our area? I can't understand it."
"Fortunately, this boss has a good temper. If it were someone with a bad temper, we would probably get into trouble if we rashly went up to disturb him like this."
Seeing her companions looking like they had survived a disaster, Su Yue said happily: "This is actually a good thing. Having a strong man in the late stage of Qi Condensation as a neighbor, we can ask him for advice if we have any problems in cultivation in the future."
"Xiaoyue, shut up!"
Su Qing reprimanded her sister with a serious expression, "You are not allowed to have such thoughts in the future."
How can a strong man in the late stage of Qi Condensation teach us? "I know, sister." Su Yue pouted, but her eyes rolled around, obviously not listening to what she said.
…
…
A day later, Chu Ning finally walked out of the house and began his exploration of the inner city.
It was just a little bit short of a thousand votes. Jiudeng found that this monthly ticket was really hard to come by, and he didn’t know how others got it.
This thing is like Jiu Deng is a girl standing in the alley, calling for uncles to come and play for a long time, but in the end everyone went into the next house to wash their hair
