The City Lord's Palace is generally a landmark building in a city. When you enter the city, no matter where you are, as long as you see a majestic and magnificent palace, it must be the location of the City Lord's Palace.
You can see it, but it takes some effort to get there.
Because he was led by that young man, Ye Xiaocheng could not use the method of flying with a sword, so he had to walk to the city lord's mansion step by step.
Fortunately, young people along the road have been introducing the shops on both sides to Ye Xiaocheng, so he doesn't seem lonely.
Most of the shops in the city are regular and antique houses, ranging from bungalows to two- and three-story buildings.
During the conversation, Ye Xiaocheng learned that this young man's name was Zhou Yong, and he only had the fourth level of Qi training. It seemed that foundation building was a big step for him.
"Senior, there are generally no big shops near the city gate. If you want to buy higher-end items or rare things, you can go to the Bankruptcy Street in the center of the city. That street has the most popular stores in the city. Luxurious, most upscale store.”
Zhou Yong introduced it seriously.
"Why is it called Bankruptcy Street?" Ye Xiaocheng thought the name was strange.
"That is to say, no matter how many spirit stones you have, as long as you walk into that street, when you walk out from the opposite street, you will definitely have no money on you, which means you are bankrupt." Zhou Yong said with a smile.
"Oh, is it really that serious?" Ye Xiaocheng didn't believe it.
"It's absolutely true. It is said that there was a rich man who didn't believe in this evil and took 100 million medium-grade spiritual stones to a bankrupt street. When he finished shopping in all the shops, not only did he not have a single medium-grade spiritual stone on his body, he also owed money to Wanbao Pavilion. More than 10 million mid-grade spiritual stones are really bankrupt." Zhou Yong laughed.
"He has already spent all the spiritual stones, why would Wanbao Pavilion let him pay on credit?" Ye Xiaocheng shook his head and smiled.
"Because the rich man had several shops in other cities, he signed and pledged those shops to Wanbao Pavilion on the spot, and Wanbao Pavilion allowed him to borrow more than 10 million middle-grade spiritual stones on credit."
Ye Xiaocheng laughed it off. Most of these rumors were unbelievable. There must be some unknown inside story that outsiders didn't know about, so they spread rumors and kept exaggerating.
Bankruptcy? This person did not go to the casino. Even if he spent all his spiritual stones, he still bought goods of corresponding value. How can he be said to be bankrupt?
It's obvious that he just purchased goods and became a bigger rich man.
After walking for about half an hour, the two of them reached the city lord's mansion.
Standing in front of the tall and majestic building of the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Xiaocheng suddenly felt his own insignificance, as if the entire City Lord's Mansion was pressing down on him.
Ye Xiaocheng smiled.
This move of the City Lord's Mansion is not very clever.
What does this mean? Does it give the visitor a show of strength?
A gold-lettered plaque hanging high in the city lord's palace does exude a sense of coercion, which is obviously intentional.
On the golden plaque were written the seven characters "Dream Capital City Lord's Mansion". Whether the characters looked good or not was another matter. There was a kind of domineeringness in the characters, which should have been written by a Nascent Soul Ancestor.
However, the City Lord's Mansion is not guarded by guards and can come and go at will, which is quite democratic.
Zhou Yong took him to a small hall on the left and told him that this was the sales office.
As soon as Ye Xiaocheng walked in, a middle-aged man came over to say hello.
"This is your first time in this city, fellow Taoist. I don't know if you want to rent a cave or buy it all at once?"
Ye Xiaocheng saw that this person was about forty or so and was in the middle stage of foundation building.
"Then I would like to ask fellow Taoist to introduce to me the situation of the cave in this city, how to rent it, how much the rent is, a one-time purchase, how many spirit stones are needed, and whether a one-time purchase can allow permanent residence." Ye Xiaocheng said.
"Okay, fellow Taoist please come here."
He led Ye Xiaocheng to a huge table. On the table was a large map with condensed models of caves located everywhere.
He pointed at an area with his finger and said: "This area is a low-level cave, specially for monks in the Qi training period to rent. Of course, it can also be purchased, but fellow Taoists should look down on this area."
Ye Xiaocheng smiled and said: "Please, fellow Taoist, show me the high-end cave abode area provided during the foundation building period."
"Sure enough, Taoist friend, he looks like a rich man at first glance." The man complimented.
Ye Xiaocheng looked calm and noncommittal.
"The high-end caves are all here, on Yunxiu Mountain. The scenery here is beautiful and the spiritual energy is rich. All caves have high-end Qi gathering arrays, which can provide enough spiritual energy for Taoist friends to practice. More importantly, the safety situation here is the best , the cave is equipped with third-level intermediate formations." This person smiled.
"Are there any unsafe areas in the city? Doesn't it mean that all fighting, stealing and other illegal activities are strictly prohibited in this city?" Ye Xiaocheng felt that there was something in this man's words and couldn't help but be surprised.
"That's what I say, but no place can be absolutely safe. Open fights, troubles, and murders have been basically eliminated, but there are also many poor monks in this city. When a person is driven to a desperate situation by poverty, he will often take risks. So theft, petty theft, etc. are inevitable.”
Ye Xiaocheng agreed with this. He did not believe that any city could eliminate all criminal activities, especially in a city where monks gathered.
"The caves in this high-end cave area are only for sale and not for rent. They are divided into Yuanying area, Jindan area and foundation building area. Let me introduce the caves in the foundation building period to fellow Taoists."
"Okay, let's talk about it."
"The caves in the foundation building period are divided into three grades: A, B, and C. The price of the C-grade cave is 200,000 mid-grade spiritual stones, the price of the B-grade cave is 500,000 mid-grade spiritual stones, and the price of the A-grade cave is one million mid-grade spiritual stones. Taste the spirit stone.”
"One million? If the conditions are good, that's fine. But is it a permanent possession?" Ye Xiaocheng asked.
"Of course, the ownership of the cave is permanent and belongs to the owner. However, every hundred years, you need to pay 50,000 medium-grade spiritual stones for repairs, maintenance, security, etc." The person smiled.
"That's okay." Ye Xiaocheng thought for a while and said.
"It seems that fellow Taoist is really a wealthy class. Would you like to consider a higher-end cave?" The man smiled slyly.
"Could there be a super-class cave?" Ye Xiaocheng asked curiously.
"There are still many vacant caves in the Jindan area."
"But I'm only a monk in the foundation building stage. Can I buy a high-level cave dwelling across regions?"
"Of course the rules are like this, but the rules are made for rich people like you to break. As long as you are willing, we will definitely satisfy you." The man smiled.
Of course, he hopes that the cave abode Ye Xiaocheng buys will be as expensive as possible. For every cave abode sold, he can receive a considerable sales commission.
"Forget it. Don't break the rules. I'll just buy the first-class cave in the foundation building area. I'll buy it again when I get promoted to Golden Core." Ye Xiaocheng said with a smile.
"Then I wish you fellow Taoist to be promoted to Jindan as soon as possible."
"Let me lend you some good words." Ye Xiaocheng smiled.
Advancement is actually not difficult for Ye Xiaocheng. If he wants to, he can be promoted to Jindan within a few months, but he cannot do that, otherwise there will be consequences. An unstable mind is definitely a major hidden danger for a monk.
"Then let's take a look at the situation in the cave first. If fellow Taoist is satisfied, we will go through the formalities when we come back." The person said.
"OK."
Zhou Yong on the side kept looking at Ye Xiaocheng with his mouth wide open.
He didn't expect that the average-looking Ye Xiaocheng had such a rich net worth. He could buy a cave dwelling for one million medium-grade spiritual stones without even frowning.
One million, he will never earn so many spiritual stones in his lifetime.
Not to mention making money, you can’t even see it.
This person took Ye Xiaocheng and Zhou Yong out and got on a flying car and rushed to the cave area.
Only now did Ye Xiaocheng know that flying was prohibited in the City of Dreams, so when traveling long distances in the city, one had to hire the city lord's exclusive flying car. This was also a revenue-generating channel for the city lord's mansion.
About an hour later, the speed car arrived in front of a high mountain, where all the high-end cave areas were located.
They came to an area marked with the word "Zhu", and then came to an area marked with the "Zhujia".
There are only ten caves here, and the one I introduced to Ye Xiaocheng is Zhujia No. 5 Cave.
The cave is built halfway up the mountain, with the Jindan area on top and the Nascent Soul area on the top of the mountain.
The armor-building area has the highest terrain and the richest spiritual energy in the foundation-building area.
This person took out a jade tablet, opened the formation of the cave, and led the two people inside.
The cave is indeed very luxurious. There is a garden in front, with verandahs, fish ponds, etc. Once inside, this person introduces the basic layout to Ye Xiaocheng.
There are two bedrooms in total, and there are also a training room, an alchemy room, a spiritual pet room, and a servant room. The servant room is also divided into a male servant and a maid. There are also a living room and a tea room. There is also a five-acre fourth-level spiritual field in the back where you can plant spiritual spirits. medicine, spiritual fruit trees, etc.
There are three-level and second-level Qi gathering arrays built in the entire cave, which can be opened during practice, so that the spiritual energy will be more intense.
Ye Xiaocheng was very satisfied after seeing it and immediately decided to buy it.
