Chapter 211 Mustard Seed Apartment
"Thirty thousand?" This was Wen Siheng's first reaction.
The young man had his back to the crowd. The first thing Wen Siheng saw was the Taoist robe he was wearing - the Taoist robe was the uniform style of the outer sect. In other words, this young man is just an outer disciple.
Fang Wuyu had no concept of money, but Wen Siheng was very sensitive to it - such a price was enough to keep the two inner disciples busy for a while. But it was obvious that the young man was alone.
This is no longer a situation that can be described by the word "high self-esteem". Because if a person has a little bit of intelligence, he will not do such an unintelligent thing.
Thinking of the "scam" that has been circulating in the inner sect in recent days, Wen Siheng frowned, thinking that the young man was most likely being defrauded by a task disguised as an easy task. He stepped forward to speak, and heard the young man say: "If you only find the trace of that ghost cultivator, you can get 30,000?"
Wen Siheng: …
if only……?
Wen Siheng looked at the sign. The sign describes a strange incident that happened recently in Lanqiao. There was a ghost cultivator who dug out the hearts and livers of many grooms to make medicine.
The ghost cultivator's cultivation level was not very high, only at the Golden Core stage, but he was elusive, cunning and vicious, and once he succeeded, he would disappear without a trace. The locals were quite panicked by this. Therefore, they issued a reward. As long as they could find out which sect the ghost cultivator belonged to, they could get a reward of 30,000.
However, no one took up the case. One reason is that this ghost cultivator does not attack too often - only once every three months. The second reason is that the ghost cultivator only killed the groom, not the pregnant woman who was a high-risk individual, nor the child. Moreover, most of the wandering cultivators who tried to find out their identities died miserably - if you can find her/his name, then the safe distance between you and the ghost cultivator must have reached a level where she/he can kill you, so no one is willing to take on this thankless job.
But Lian Chengyue felt that this job was relatively simple - because of the evil relic he obtained from the Hundred Buddha Statue before entering the Qingji Sect.
With the help of the evil relic, he can collect the souls of the dead on the spot. These wronged souls would provide him with information about ghost cultivators and even guide him.
This boy is so arrogant. The disciple of Gongshantang frowned and reminded Lian Chengyue: "This job is not as simple as you think."
This is not because the disciples of Gongshantang are kind-hearted. However, now the task completion rate and single failure rate have also been included in the KPI assessment of Gongshan Hall disciples. The head of Gongshan Hall learned advanced management ideas. He only paid his disciples a meager basic salary, and the rest of his income came from commissions. Therefore, this disciple did not want Lian Chengyue to fail in the mission, which would result in his salary being deducted.
Lian Chengyue said: "If I find the information of that ghost cultivator, I can get 30,000. If I return with the head of that ghost cultivator, how many more can I get?"
"you……"
You are a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, and you want to assassinate a Jindan Stage ghost cultivator for a few tens of thousands of dollars? ?
Are you too poor or too crazy? ?
Are you so poor that you don’t want to die? ?
The disciple in charge finally focused and looked carefully at the young man in front of him. The boy has a handsome face, a gentle smile and an extraordinary temperament. The more the disciple looked at him, the more familiar he felt that his face looked. Even if he was an outer sect disciple, he should have heard of this young man somewhere. He thought that as an outer sect disciple, he already had such a graceful demeanor and appearance. He thought that in the future he would also...
"Who are you……"
"It's you!" The inner sect disciple next to him exclaimed, "You are the famous..."
"Because I used the HB Immortal Sword to answer the questions, I got zero marks for the entire physical skills test for an outer disciple!"
Smiling Lian Chengyue: ...
As soon as he entered Qingji Sect, he became famous overnight. His name was known to the entire outer and inner sects, but not in the way he expected. As the crowd was watching, Ning Mingmei took action and asked Wen Siheng to drive the crowd away.
He also took Lian Chengyue to the inner room. Ning Mingmei and Fang Wuyu were sitting inside the screen, while Lian Chengyue, Wen Siheng and the disciple in charge of Gongshan Hall were outside the screen.
Fang Wu Yu couldn't help but glance at Ning Ming Mei. Ning Mingmei's behavior made him think that this boy was very special in Ning Mingmei's eyes. But this person even bought the wrong magic sword. He really didn't think that this person would be able to do anything extraordinary in the future.
At this moment, Lian Chengyue looked calm on the outside, but her heart was beating fast.
Although he did not see the figures of the first two immortals who entered the inner room, the person who rescued him was Wen Siheng, and the identities of these two people were also obvious - it didn't matter who the other one was, but one of them must be Ning Mingmei.
Over the past few years, he has been practicing in the wilderness and surviving in the college entrance examination. The farewell on Dongji Mountain did not last forever. Finally, he had the opportunity to stand in front of Ning Mingmei with dignity and let Ning Mingmei know that he had entered Qingji Sect with a clear conscience.
Moreover, his name is already known to the entire Qingji Sect... Wait, this approach is not right.
Lian Chengyue felt both excited and humiliated. He felt a little gloomily that it would be better if everyone outside died at this moment. Wen Siheng, under Ning Mingmei's instruction, asked him, "Are you a new disciple this year?"
Lian Chengyue replied: "Yes. I just arrived this year, and then I took the college entrance examination."
I didn't ask you the latter question.
Ning Mingmei certainly knew that Lian Chengyue was pretending not to know that he was behind the screen. His words also implied that he was a very capable student, but he was just not proficient in the college entrance examination.
Wen Siheng continued, "You failed the college entrance examination, why didn't you go back to study again, but instead went to Gongshan Hall to take on those dangerous missions?"
Is this Ning Mingmei testing him, or is this Ning Mingmei's concern for him?
Lian Chengyue lowered his head and smiled bitterly, with a bit of loneliness between his eyebrows and eyes: "My family is poor, and the repeat classes and study materials are expensive. I have to find some way to work and study."
Lian Chengyue wasn't talking nonsense.
Although the Lian family is a middle-class family, the support they provide to Lian Chengyue is relatively limited. Moreover, Lian Chengyue has five elements of spiritual roots, so the materials he needs for cultivation are five times that of an ordinary person. Plus, he has a special skill called black energy, and he has to support the elderly (the spiritual energy that Shi Ruzhuo needs), so the resources required are several times higher. In addition, he possessed many secret treasures, which always needed to be improved and repaired, which was another huge expense. In addition, everything in Qingji Sect now requires money. Studying requires money, taking exams requires money, eating requires money, and socializing with other disciples requires money. Lian Chengyue also needs money to move out of the dormitory and rent a house.
Ordinary people don't need so much money. But Lian Chengyue is the male protagonist after all, and his development goal is to become the new king of Qingji Sect.
He wants to take back the humiliation he suffered in the college entrance examination and the ridicule and cold stares he suffered today!
Therefore, Lian Chengyue was very short of money. If possible, he really wanted to take advantage of the summer vacation to go outside Qingji Sect and make a fortune.
Wen Siheng only heard that Lian Chengyue's family was poor, so he felt pity for her. He said, "Accommodation... You want to find a place to live alone outside the city. Is it because you are bullied by your roommates?"
Actually, no. But Lian Chengyue is willing to let Wen Siheng think this way. After all, he has too many secrets, so it would be best if he could live alone.
The disciple in charge of the Gongshan Hall said, "I don't know much about the outer sect. But some inner sect disciples who don't like to live with others will rent a mustard seed apartment."
Mustard Apartments?
According to the description of the disciple in charge, the Mustard Seed Apartment is a portable apartment - from the outside, it is just a piece of paper pasted on the mountain wall. Depending on the pricing, Mustard Seed Apartments has different room types. The disciple chooses the room type he likes and signs the contract, and then he can enter his own apartment by relying on his palm print.
In some apartments, it is just one room. Some apartments, however, have a different world - with flowers, grass and trees, it can be called a small secret realm, and the spiritual energy is extremely rich.
——Of course, after all, their original body is that ancient secret land.
Some mustard apartments even have a small piece of sea area. These are the most expensive and are called sea view rooms. The cheapest one-person mustard apartment is a seamless cave with the bedroom and kitchen in the same area. Because this mustard seed apartment was something Ning Mingmei tore off from the waste materials of the ancient secret realm, it is also called "Tiediudiu" (studio).
Most mustard apartments are priced based on the horizontal area. At present, the mustard apartment that looks the most bourgeois but also the most attractive in the minds of disciples is an apartment called "Luo Fu Te". A piece of land on the ground is called "fall". A mountain in the sky makes perfect use of the vertical space, with a platform built in the middle, which is called "floating". Some disciples could not afford mountain villas, so they used "Luo Fute" as a meal substitute in their villas.
Lian Chengyue was also somewhat tempted: "This Luofu Te... sounds great."
The disciple in charge of Gongshan Hall certainly knew the shortcomings of Luofu Te, such as the fact that one had to climb up and down to find anything, and that it used commercial water and electricity which were expensive. But he had a Luofu Te of his own and wanted to sublet it, so the situation was different. The disciple in charge said, "When you become an inner sect disciple, you may be able to get more financially comfortable. Then you can come to me and I will sublease my Luofu Te to you."
Lian Chengyue asked about the rent and did some math in his mind - these days, Lian Chengyue learned from his mistakes and became more courageous, and he really liked doing math in his head. You know, immortals live for hundreds or even thousands of years. If we calculate based on two hundred years of rent...
Not worth it! It’s not a good deal. I might as well buy the Mustard Apartment.
Wait, can you buy the Mustard Seed Apartment?
The disciple in charge of the Gongshan Hall said, "Yes. You can get the house after paying a down payment. You can use the money you pay for rent to pay your own monthly installments. Isn't this more cost-effective than working for others? And as long as you don't defect to the demon world, this house will be yours as long as you pay off the loan, and it will belong to you for the next three hundred years..."
Lian Chengyue was somewhat moved. Just then, the person behind the screen coughed.
After that light cough, the disciple in charge of Gongshan Hall fell silent, realizing that he had not read the air at all. Wen Siheng listened to their conversation carefully and frowned as he said, "But the price of apartments has been rising in recent years... Never mind, when you enter the inner gate... you will be able to apply for a student loan. You don't have to worry about that."
Lian Chengyue whispered: "Thank you, Senior Brother. If that's the case, I'm relieved."
"It's just..." Wen Siheng was stunned when he heard his master's voice transmission to him.
Even so, he still opened his mouth and said, "Lian Chengyue."
