"Xiao Liuzi, we've brought someone here again!"
The old voice sounded, and it seemed a little penetrating in the spacious ice palace.
An old woman sat on a recliner, opened her eyes, and glanced at Luo Chen and the others.
Xu Xiaoliu shrank his neck and leaned forward.
"Senior Shi, these three are my uncle's friends. They want to rent the cave."
The old woman looked over.
Luo Chen cupped his hands as a sign of courtesy.
The old woman said oh and called inside.
"Alan, take out the spherical sphere."
Soon, a sweet response came from inside.
"Here you go, mother-in-law!"
Then, a girl trotted out holding a large spherical magic weapon.
She placed the spherical magic weapon on the table very familiarly.
"Three seniors, do you want to rent a cave?"
"Yes, yes, they..." Xu Xiaoliu walked forward with a smile.
However, the girl glared at her and said, "I ask the seniors, why are you interrupting?"
Xu Xiaoliu smiled and stepped back, looking not very angry.
Luo Chen glanced at him and walked up to him.
"What's so special about the cave? How much is the rent?"
The girl Shi Lan injected a spiritual power into the spherical magic weapon.
Suddenly, a lifelike indoor environment was revealed above.
Some are simple and natural, some are magnificent, some rely on the mountain wall and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole city, and some have waterfalls falling down to form a curtain of pearly water.
Every cave has its own characteristics.
"Our Tianlan cave is located on the Tianlan Peak behind."
"This mountain is a genuine place for third-level spiritual veins! It spreads out from here, creating a spiritual place with a radius of three thousand miles in Tianlan City."
The sweet introduction sounds to my ears.
Luo Chen and others couldn't help but nod.
They had noticed it when they first entered the city.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the city is undoubtedly that of a first-level spiritual vein.
Compared with the original courtyard house in Dahefang, it is no less generous.
This is just the concentration of spiritual energy on the street.
One can imagine how full the spiritual energy will be where the real main vein is.
"Tianlan Immortal City and the spiritual mountains outside are mostly first-order spiritual lands."
"Only on Tianlan Peak, there are second-level or even third-level spiritual lands!"
"The three seniors are all in the foundation building stage, so I suggest you rent a second-level cave."
While speaking, Shi Lan turned the sphere, revealing the interior scenes of the cave marked with blank light spots.
There's nothing wrong with that either.
Luo Chen's eyes fell on the perfect circle instrument and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Why does the white light shown in the same second-level cave show three colors: light white, pure white, and deep white?"
Shi Lan smiled sweetly, "That's naturally because the second-level caves are also divided into superior ones and inferior ones!"
"oh?"
"We divide each level of spiritual land into three levels: upper, middle and lower. The higher the level, the higher the spiritual energy concentration will naturally be."
"On Tianlan Peak, there are first-level, high-grade caves suitable for the Qi Refining stage, and there are second-level, upper, middle, and lower-grade caves suitable for the Foundation Building stage. Even if you want to rent a third-level, low-grade cave, it's not impossible."
later.
Nangong Jin and Li Yixian looked at each other.
Are even the spiritual caves divided in such detail?
They had a tacit understanding and didn't speak.
Along the way, they had already discovered that Luo Chen was better at these things than they were.
Rather than speaking rashly and offending others, it would be better to let Luo Chen deal with it.
Luo Chen naturally knew their little thoughts, but he didn't care much.
Just some little things.
"Then how is the price of the cave calculated?"
Shi Lan explained patiently: "For levels one to three, the price is calculated in hundreds, thousands, or ten thousand, and the rent is calculated by month or year. The longer the rental period, the cheaper the price."
It’s a bit complicated!
Nangong Jin's brows furrowed into a frown when he heard this.
Li Yixian was the same, looking confused.
Only Luo Chen nodded, looking understanding.
"If I want to rent a second-level cave for one year, what is the price?"
Shi Lan did not hesitate, "The second-level low-grade cave house rents a thousand low-grade spiritual stones per month, which is only ten thousand a year. The middle-grade cave house rents two thousand per month, which is twenty thousand a year. The upper-grade cave house rents four thousand per month. Forty-eight thousand a year.”
"etc!"
Li Yixian couldn't help it anymore, "Why is it that both the lower-grade and middle-grade caves have two months less rent, but the upper-grade caves don't have any discount?"
The girl blinked.
He said naturally: "Because there are many low-grade and medium-grade caves, and there are only twenty high-grade caves. Normally, the supply exceeds the demand, so naturally it cannot be cheap."
All right!
She didn't know how to refute this reason.
In other words, there is no need to refute, other people’s ice castles are priced like this.
Take it or leave it.
"What about three years?" Luo Chen asked.
Shi Lan replied: "The basic price is still the same for three years. If you want it to be cheaper, you have to start renting for at least ten years."
ten years!
Li Yixian felt a little bad.
If you rent a top-grade cave, you will spend nearly half a million yuan in ten years!
Even after selling her Li family, she didn't even have so many spiritual stones.
Shi Lan looked at the three of them and smiled sweetly, "I don't know, what level of cave do you three seniors want to rent?"
Li Yixian hesitated.
Nangong Jin's eyes were wandering between the low-grade and middle-grade caves.
A sudden sound suddenly sounded.
"Can you take us to see it in action first?"
Shi Lan was stunned. Seeing the cave in person?
There was a cough nearby.
"Xiaolan, take them there, don't wait any longer."
Shi Lan nodded quickly.
"Three seniors, please follow me."
Xu Xiaoliu also wanted to follow, but was glared at and could only stay here obediently.
Luo Chen glanced at the two of them with interest, shook his head, and stepped out.
…
A water curtain stretched between Tianlan Peak and Tianlan Fairy City, seemingly turning this place into two independent spaces.
Looking up at the colorful water curtain in the sun.
Luo Chen's face turned serious.
"Defensive formation?"
Li Yixian was also surprised and said: "Third-level defensive formation?"
The two looked at each other and saw each other's surprise.
It's not because of the third-level defense formation, but because this formation is always on!
As we all know, formations consume extremely spiritual energy.
Until the critical moment, even large sects will not be opened at all times.
Unexpectedly, Tianlan Peak actually kept a third-level defense formation operating at all times.
Shi Lan walked under the water curtain, took out a piece of jade, and skillfully played the spirit trick.
At the same time, introduce them to Luo Chen and the others around them.
"This is a great formation of water created by the sky. It is formed according to the earth. It is endless and does not consume a lot of spiritual energy."
"With the protection of this formation, the monks living on Tianlan Peak can have real security."
"In normal times, there will be people regularly inspecting and maintaining the formation to ensure that no accidents occur."
While speaking, she pursed her lips to the side.
An old foundation-building cultivator was sleeping soundly in a pavilion.
"That's Uncle Wang, who is specially guarding the formation. If a monk without the right to live comes near, he will drive him away."
"But don't worry, if you rent a cave, you will have a special identity jade tag."
After speaking, she shook the jade sign in her hand.
Within the water curtain, a door quickly opened.
"Let's go!"
Luo Chen couldn't help but glance at Uncle Wang.
Are all foundation-building cultivators used as security these days?
However, many people should want this job!
Located at the junction of Tianlan Peak and Tianlan Fairy City, the spiritual energy is so rich that it is almost like buying a piece of spiritual land between the first and second levels for free.
Almost the moment he stepped into the water curtain.
Luo Chen noticed something strange.
The rich aura of heaven and earth filled his surroundings.
Its concentration is already a genuine first-order spiritual vein place.
If we divide it according to the grade mentioned by Shi Lan, it is at least the first grade!
Whoosh!
A ray of light flew down from above.
After landing, he said hello to Shi Lan, and then calmly left from the water curtain.
"Can't it be empty here?" Li Yixian asked.
Shi Lan smiled slightly, "You can't help but fly in Tianlan Peak."
After saying that, he took out a flying sword.
"Three seniors, please follow me!"
…
"This is the second-level middle-grade spiritual land."
What you see upon entering is a well-behaved cave that is not very ostentatious.
It is divided into three floors, inside and outside, with a total of five rooms.
The outermost layer is fertile land, where spiritual plants, flowers, trees, and even spiritual rice can be planted.
The middle floor is the living room.
It is used by monks to communicate with others and discuss the Tao.
In the innermost part, the bedroom, quiet room, study room and a vacant room are divided.
In terms of area, it is extremely spacious.
However, when Luo Chen and the three of them felt it in the quiet room used for practice, they couldn't help but frown.
"The price has doubled, but the spiritual energy concentration seems to be only half that of the lower-grade cave?"
"This is how I feel, Luo Chen, what do you think?"
Luo Chen nodded.
He not only felt the movement of the technique, but also compared it with the original spiritual vein cave in the belly of Luofeng Mountain.
This middle-grade cave is only equivalent to the level he had after three years of seclusion.
The three of them looked at each other.
"Look at the top-grade cave again?"
"good!"
"Lets see!"
The three of them wanted to watch it again, and Shi Lan naturally wouldn't refuse.
Immediately take them to fly higher.
However, this time the speed will be much slower.
Because it’s fully rented!
It took a long time for Shi Lan to knock on the door of a cave with the talisman.
"I'm coming."
"Isn't it due yet? Why are you here to remind me?"
As the voice came, a tall and graceful figure walked out, and a strong fragrance hit his face.
Luo Chen looked around and could see clearly the fluctuations in spiritual energy in the middle stage of foundation building.
The female cultivator frowned slightly and looked at Luo Chen doubtfully.
"Discovered?"
Luo Chen looked calm, and then calmly denied this conjecture.
The other party didn't notice it, but his perception was a little sharp.
He didn't use his spiritual sense to observe the other party's realm, he just used his own spiritual eyes to investigate.
At the same level, it is difficult to find him without actively increasing his efforts.
As she walked out, Shi Lan showed a sweet smile.
"Senior Ling, I'm not here to rush you."
"It's just that these seniors want to see the concentration of spiritual energy in the second-level high-grade cave."
"Other seniors are either in retreat or out, so they have no choice but to disturb you."
"Can I make it easier?"
Ling Yuzhi frowned and snorted.
"Just watch it if you want. Who can refuse your ice castle request?"
After saying that, she got out of the way.
However, staring at the backs of Luo Chen and the others, they sneered.
Although he didn't say anything.
But the contempt is obvious.
Not everyone can afford to rent a top-grade cave house that costs 4,000 yuan a month!
Luo Chen and the three of them could feel the eyes behind them.
Except for Luo Chen who was extremely calm, the other two people felt a little unnatural.
Everyone would feel uncomfortable with this feeling of being looked down upon.
There was no delay.
The three people quickly walked out of the quiet room.
"Double?"
"Is such that."
"The price is four times higher than the inferior product, but the spiritual energy concentration has only doubled."
Seeing three people dissatisfied.
Shi Lan quickly explained: "Senior, value is not measured in this way!"
"This is just like the difference between ordinary elixirs and top-quality elixirs. The price may seem expensive, but what you save is time!"
"For our monks, time is the most precious."
"Cultivating in the lower-grade caves and the upper-grade caves may not improve much in a short period of time. But over time, the time saved may be decades of hard work."
"I'm not sure if I can break through the golden elixir stage, the difference is just a few decades."
Luo Chen glanced at her.
He is a very enthusiastic and hard-working real estate agent.
In fact, everyone understands what she said.
But it is one thing to understand, and it is another thing to be short of money.
"Fellow Taoist Nangong, what do you think?" Li Yixian asked.
Nangong Jin had already made his decision, "I have been focusing on healing recently, and the lower-grade cave can already meet my needs."
Li Yixian bit his teeth lightly, "Then I will also choose the lower-grade cave! The main reason is that the improvement of the middle-grade and high-grade caves is not big."
After speaking, she looked at Luo Chen.
"And you?"
Luo Chen smiled and said, "Little friend Shi Lan, is this high-grade cave house full recently?"
Shi Lan nodded quickly, "It is indeed full recently, but several of them are about to expire, and they have no plans to renew the lease. If you want to rent, senior, you can make an appointment with me, and I will definitely help you when the time comes. You arrange."
"Okay, I'll rent a lower-grade cave for transition first. As for the upper-grade cave, I'll ask you to help me keep an eye on it."
Shi Lan's eyes lit up and she immediately wrote it down.
We have already decided, that is to choose a cave.
The three of them, led by Shi Lan, prepared to fly down the mountainside to find a suitable cave.
Before leaving, he said to the female cultivator surnamed Ling, "Sorry."
The other party smiled and said it was okay.
But when he looked at the backs of the three people walking down the mountain, he let out a disdainful sigh.
"A few paupers!"
A neighboring cave ten feet away shimmered with light.
Then, someone flew out of it.
He seemed to have seen Ling Yuzhi's movements and asked with a smile: "What are you doing, fellow Taoist?"
Hearing the voice, Ling Yuzhi couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
"Fellow Daoist Chu! Are you going out?"
The man pointed to the distance, "Yes, it's the end of the month, and I have to be busy for a while, otherwise there will be no Spirit Stone Flowers."
Ling Yuzhi smiled and said, "You are joking. With Chu Kui's ability, who dares to keep you busy?"
Chu Kui chuckled and did not refute.
He glanced at the four figures below.
"Are they the new neighbors?"
Ling Yuzhi curled her lips, "They're just a few poor people from out of town. They can't afford the rent. They insist on taking a look and disturbing my repairs."
"Coming from out of town?"
"Yes! Especially a pretty guy there, who obviously can't afford the rent, but still pretends that he wants to make a reservation at the Shangpin Cave Mansion. These days, there really is anyone for everyone."
Seeing her harsh words, Chu Kui couldn't help but shook his head.
"Don't judge people by their appearance. They might be wealthy people. I'll get to know them when I have time."
"Okay, no more talking, I'm going out first!"
He waved his hand, turning a blind eye to Ling Yuzhi's desire to talk, and flew out of Tianlan Peak like an arrow from a string.
Ling Yuzhi looked at his back with regret.
Then, he shook his head again.
Although the opponent is powerful, he has no future.
It can be a temporary thing, but it can't last forever. He is not a good person!
…
It's halfway down the mountainside.
Luo Chen stood in the slightly cramped cave.
Compared with the spacious upper-grade cave residence before, this lower-grade cave residence is much shabbier.
It is only divided into two floors: inner and outer, and there is no garden where spiritual plants can be planted.
There are only three internal rooms: the living room, the bedroom, and the quiet room.
However, he had no dissatisfaction.
At least, he, Luo Chen, finally has a place to stay.
"The next thing to deal with is the placement of Luo Tianhui!"
Luo Tianhui, he was not going to give up.
Not to mention that there are many friends who are close to him.
Just those monks who know the basics and are familiar with it can be of great benefit to him in refining alchemy.
When one person refines elixirs, even if he has been promoted to the foundation building stage, the amount he can refine is extremely limited.
Only with the help of many monks can it form a corresponding scale.
This is also the reason why alchemists from large sects often accept many medicine boys, alchemy boys, and fire master disciples.
However, Luo Tianhui has a large number of people and living in the city for a long time is not the same thing.
Luo Chen pursed his lips, spread out a map Shi Lan left for him, and started to flip through it carefully.
"The first-level spiritual vein land has no owner. Mirror Lake, Bamboo Sea, Wutong Mountain, Danxia Peak..."
Gradually, Luo Chen's eyes stopped at one place.
