There is a tall city wall between the outer city and the middle city, and there are monks guarding it. Only monks who have been inspected, paid spiritual stones, and received tokens can enter.
After Chen Ping and the others received the token, they officially entered the central city. Chen Ping's first feeling when he entered Zhongcheng was that the intensity of spiritual power here was at least one level higher than that of Lianyun City.
'You're right, practicing here will probably be much faster than Lianyun City. ''You have to come here early, I'm afraid it's almost time to build the foundation, right?
'Different from the outer city, the middle city is much cleaner. There is not so much bustling market life. You can't hear the shouts, see the steaming roadside food stalls, and you can't see the orioles upstairs.
On both sides of the street are more talisman shops, magic weapon shops and elixir shops. No wonder Manager Wang said that many monks would go to the outer city from time to time to enjoy life.
There is no life in Zhongcheng, only practice. The streets are quite clean, with smooth bluestone slabs. Although the houses on both sides of the street are mainly made of wooden houses, rammed earth, and stone, they are scattered and there are no shanties.
'It seems much safer than Lianyuncheng. ''At least that's what it seems on the surface. 'There are roughly 30,000 monks in the entire city.
There are casual cultivators and small families in the city, which is very similar to Lianyun City.
"Look at the inner city from here. Do you know why it's called 'Cloud City'?" Manager Wang patted Lin Changshou who was looking around and motioned him to look north.
The inner city is on higher ground and can be seen at a glance. But the entire inner city is shrouded in a vast white fog, making it impossible to see what's going on inside?
How big is the layout? How are houses different? It's like being among white clouds. True. Cloud City.
"That's it, that's it. It's really on top of the white clouds. No wonder it's called Cloud City." Lin Changshou sighed.
Manager Wang rolled his eyes at Lin Changshou: "You are just superficial. The reason why Yunzhong City is called Yunzhong City is because the city owner's surname is Yun." Lin Changshou: Then what do you want me to see over there?
Chen Ping held back his laughter and asked, "Who are the people living in the inner city? Can we go in?" Because Chen Ping had given him spiritual stones, Manager Wang's tone was much friendlier when talking to Chen Ping.
"The Yun family lives here. They are also the custodians of this city. They have been in charge of it for hundreds of years..." Unlike the satellite cities of the Qingyun Sect, the satellite cities of the Lingxiao Sect are all managed by the Ji Zhuji family.
Yunzhong City is one of the satellite cities of Lingxiao Sect. The largest foundation-building family here is the Yun family. The entire Yun family lives in the inner city.
Of course, after hundreds of years of changes, in order to maintain strength, the management echelon of the Yun family is not only composed of people from the Yun family, but also some late-stage Qi training monks and foundation-building monks.
And these absorbed foundation-building monks may form vassal-type foundation-building families. These people all live in the inner city.
It sounds like a foundation-building family, but in fact it is more like the management structure and model of a sect. The entire Yunzhong City is governed and maintained by the Yun family, including the outer city and the middle city.
"I see." After listening to Manager Yang's introduction, Chen Ping felt that he had a general understanding of Yunzhong City.
Avoid unnecessary troubles caused by cognitive errors in the future. These two spiritual stones are generally worth the money spent.
"Okay, that's pretty much it. You will get to know the rest later. How about it? Is the house still available for rent?" Manager Yang asked, Lingxiao Sect also has other affiliated immortal cultivation cities, which are selective for casual cultivators. .
Chen Ping said calmly: "Of course it will be rented. Please ask Manager Yang to help choose something better and bigger."
"Me too." Lin Changshou said quickly, paused for two breaths, and then added: "...It doesn't hurt to be smaller."
"You have found the right person. Other managers may not know as much as I do. In this city, the rents of different houses are different. They are roughly divided into three levels. One is 4 low-grade stars per month, and the other is 8 One low-grade spiritual stone per month, and the third is 12 low-grade spiritual stones per month. But it is not determined by the size of the house, but by the abundance of spiritual power. But even at the same rental price, there are many different houses. Bad..." Manager Yang talked eloquently.
Chen Ping was filled with emotion after hearing this. It's really expensive. Before the civil strife in Lianyun City, the rent for most houses was only one low-grade spirit stone per month, and the worst ones here had four times the rent.
The best year even requires 144 low-grade spiritual stones, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary casual cultivators.
Strong spiritual energy comes at a cost. There really is no free lunch in the world.
"Which grade of house do you want to rent, Fellow Daoist Chen?"
"Let's take a look."
"..." Finally, Chen Ping was taken to a street to the east and stopped in front of a house.
"Just this one, let's see how it goes? This is the best one among the most expensive ones. The spiritual power of the high-end ones are pretty much the same, but this one has the largest area and a wide courtyard. This one is close to the extension of the spiritual veins. The spiritual power is abundant, fellow Taoists can feel it for themselves." Manager Yang introduced.
Chen Ping entered the house and felt the richness of the spiritual power. It was indeed more mellow than other low-end houses.
The house is huge. There are six rooms in total. In addition to a front yard, this house actually has an inner courtyard with a pavilion.
Don't have fun. After viewing the houses, Chen Ping compared the low- and medium-grade houses he had just seen with the other two high-end houses. He still liked this place better.
"Are there any other high-end vacant houses?" Chen Ping asked.
"have."
"Well, let's choose this one." Chen Ping thought about it again and was too lazy to compare. It's rare to like it, so it's best to be cautious.
Chen Ping decisively rented this house. Lin Changshou rented a house on the same street as Chen Ping's house, but at a distance at the end of the street.
The spiritual power over there was not that good, it belonged to the second level, and with 8 spiritual stones for a month, Lin Changshou gritted his teeth and rented it.
While it was still dark, Chen Ping and Yu Lingchun went to the outer city again, bought some bedding and other daily necessities, and tidied up when they returned home.
The original house was not too messy to begin with, and it took two hours to decorate it all. There are six rooms in the house, one bedroom, one main room, one talisman making room, and one utility room.
The remaining two are vacant for now. The dining room is external. As for the front and rear courtyards, there was no time to clean them up.
night. Chen Ping was lying on a brand new quilt, holding the soft Yu Lingchun in his arms, feeling that this day was like a dream.
Obviously I was still working hard to stay alive a few days ago. And now, there is a new home. He couldn't help but think of the scene two years ago, when he moved into a new environment and had a new home.
The only difference was that he was alone at that time. Now, the home is even more perfect. Of course, I also have more responsibilities, and there is still a lot to do in the future.
He doesn't know what the price of talismans in this new city is. This is his only sustainable way to make money.
There are dozens of magical instruments in the storage bag, and I don’t know how much they cost.
"Husband, are you sleepy?"
"I'm not sleepy, I can't sleep."
"Me too."
"Well, come here, let me help you see if your new clothes are soft or not..."
"..." It's too indulgent. But you can't blame me. I'm a young man with a strong temper. I've endured it for more than forty days. Who wouldn't indulge myself when I relax?
midnight.
"Husband, are you sleepy?"
"Huh? Did you do it on purpose?"
"whee!"
"..."
