In the afternoon, Xu Wen, who already looked like a wealthy businessman, came to the alley again.
Li Xiaoqing was still there, but this time Xu Wen didn't look for him again, but directly called a Yaren who looked very shrewd.
Seeing Xu Wen's appearance, Zhang Da immediately cheered up. People with this kind of appearance are often much more generous than ordinary people, so naturally they have to make good use of it:
"What does the immortal master need from a house, aura, area, price..."
"You want something with sufficient spiritual energy. Everything else doesn't matter. As for the price, help me suppress it more. How much reward you can get depends on your mouth!"
Xu Wen laughed and said loudly in a rough voice that suited his appearance.
"Okay, Immortal Master, follow me!"
Zhang Da led the way with a smile on his face.
The first house I looked at was okay, enough to support the cultivation of the third level of Qi refining, and barely enough to break through to the fourth level of Qi refining.
But he is still not very satisfied. What he wants is not passing, but excellence.
Seeing the expression on Xu Wen's face, Zhang Da didn't panic at all. He had been a dentist for decades and had his own skills.
The order of the houses shown is also very particular. The first house must not be bad, lest the employer doubt his ability.
Nor should it be so good that the employer will have unrealistic expectations.
This upper-middle-class property is the most suitable. It not only demonstrates your own strength, but also allows the employer to understand the market conditions.
Show a few more average houses to further lower the employer's expectations, and finally offer the best house, which will greatly increase the chance of success.
The second building is worse than the first building, and has even thinner aura. The advantage is that it faces the river on three sides, and only the west side is connected to the street, so it is better hidden.
"This building costs 300 spiritual stones a year, and the minimum rent is two years. If it is longer, there will be a discount."
Although he didn’t have high hopes, Zhang Da, who has professional ethics, still tried his best to sell:
"I have been a dentist for decades, and this house has been in my hands. I feel that the aura here is stronger than before. Although it is not a lot, there may be unexpected surprises if I rent it for a long time!"
Xu Wen was noncommittal. Just like the matchmaker, every punctuation mark of what he said should not be taken lightly.
The two of them were standing in the backyard of the house. There was a well in the corner of the yard near the river, with a windlass on it.
Judging from the color and style of the wheel, this well has been around for a long time.
The well rope is very long, probably because it does not want to be seeped back by the river water outside. The well is very deep, and you can't see the bottom at a glance, about twenty or thirty feet.
I shook the windlass and prepared to fetch a bucket of water to take a look, but found that there were more than a dozen small grasses growing sparsely on the wall of the well.
This is normal. Weeds will grow in many old wells, but these weeds are a little different, as if they have been seen before.
With a thought in his heart, the Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique was activated. These weeds did not fade away like ordinary mortal objects, but maintained their original color and luster.
These seemingly inconspicuous weeds are actually spiritual materials.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Wen understood why he looked familiar at these weeds.
When Liu Yubo hired them to pick pearl rice, he collected some spiritual grasses in the spiritual fields, some of which were just like this.
"What's the lowest price..."
With a thought in his heart, he looked at Zhang Da.
…
An hour later, after paying 900 spirit stones and almost emptying Xu Wen's pocket, he got a house token from Zhang Da.
He signed a ten-year lease, with 300 spirit stones as the first year's rent and 600 spirit stones as a two-year deposit.
The rent is paid once a year, but the rent is free for nine and twelve years, and the deposit will be refunded when the tenant moves out.
Compared with these, the more than twenty spirit stones given to Zhang Da are just a small thing.
The tooth people in this world are much more affordable than the intermediaries in another world.
After activating the token, a hazy light flashed, and an undetectable light shield covered the entire house, blocking out all prying eyes from the outside world.
The defensive power of the light mask is not very strong, but it is very delicately designed. If it is broken by force, it will make a lot of noise, and the owner will immediately discover it.
The most important thing is that this formation is arranged based on the location of the house and does not require additional spiritual stones.
Looking at the light mask, Xu Wen smiled with satisfaction and began to inspect the entire house.
This house is very large, covering more than 200 square meters. It has a meditation room, a magic practice room, a study room, a reception room, a banquet room, and a bedroom. The furniture is all made of fine sandalwood.
Because it is a side house, there are yards on three sides, and a basement was dug under the west yard for practicing spells.
Compared to the stone streets, this is exactly the difference between villas and huts.
After checking everything to make sure there were no back-up tricks, Xu Wen returned to the backyard and carefully observed the spiritual herbs on the wall of the well.
It was these spiritual herbs that made him decide to rent this house.
One or two spiritual grasses may just be accidental, but if more than a dozen spiritual grasses grow together, it is either a spiritual land or there is abundant spiritual energy nearby.
This place couldn't be a spiritual place, so there was only one possibility left. This well was connected to a place rich in spiritual energy.
After observing carefully for a while and confirming that there was no danger, Xu Wen jumped into the well, clasped his hands on the rocks on the well wall, and climbed down step by step.
There is darkness about ten feet away, and the light is extremely dim when it reaches here.
He took out a stone bead and rubbed it a few times. A bright light rose up, illuminating the surrounding area extremely brightly.
Xu Wen discovered that there were also some spiritual materials on the stone walls here, and they grew better, longer, and thicker than those above. The spiritual energy obviously came from the bottom of the well.
After climbing down another ten feet, a gust of breeze suddenly came from one side of the well wall. The sweet spiritual energy made Xu Wen feel shaken.
"right here!"
With great joy in my heart, I gave the wind-leaking stone wall a hard slap, and with a "bang" sound, a large area of the originally tight stone wall suddenly collapsed.
At some point, the soil behind it had been eroded away, forming a dark passage.
The breeze became stronger, spiritual energy sufficient to the middle level of Qi Refining continued to flow out, and the body felt a little lighter while breathing.
With a flick of his finger, a fireball the size of a fist flew out and flew dozens of meters before slowly dissipating.
The brilliance passed in a flash, but it was enough for Xu Wen to see clearly the condition of the passage.
The passage is winding and rocky. Some places are high enough to pass a person's way, and some are less than a foot thick. It is obvious that it was not dug manually.
Xu Wen estimated that it was an earthquake that collapsed the soil in this area, coupled with groundwater erosion, which finally resulted in this appearance.
He also came at just the right time, neither too early nor too late.
A few months earlier, the passage had not yet reached the wall of the well, and too little spiritual energy had leaked out to produce spiritual grass. Even if one could see the well, one would not be able to detect anything unusual below.
In a few months, the passage will definitely penetrate the well wall, and the landlord will definitely notice something strange, and such good things will not be his turn.
With joy in his heart, he took out the statue of Yama's Creation and injected it with mana. A black wind rat crawled out from Yama's hand and continued to move forward along the passage.
