Of course.
The Tian Lan Immortal City won’t conduct business at a loss.
A Second Order Ascendant Grade Cave Mansion must pay forty-eight thousand Spirit Stones per year, with a minimum lease of ten years!
Unlike lower-grade and medium-grade cave mansions that have a policy of offering two months of discounts.
Ordinary people simply cannot afford to rent Ascendant Grade Cave Mansions.
The group did not linger, descending from the cloud and heading towards the mansion.
However, before they could get close, they already heard quarreling from inside.
Luo Chen stopped in his tracks.
“I’m not saying I won’t rent it anymore, it’s just that I’m short of money right now, can’t you give me a few more days?”
“Senior Ling, I’ve already given you a whole half month more time!”
“How about this! I really can’t afford to pay all the forty-eight thousand at once. Can I first pay one year’s rent, forty-eight, no, fifty thousand! I will make up the remainder when I have enough.”
“Senior Ling, rules are rules, don’t make it hard for a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator like myself.”
…
“Humph!”
With a single cold snort, it was clear that the negotiations had failed.
A figure stormed out, visibly angry.
The first person she noticed was Luo Chen.
“It’s you!”
“Are you here to rent the Yi Seventh Cave Mansion?”
Luo Chen smiled slightly, cupping his hands and saying, “Friend Ling Yuzhi, long time no see.”
This woman was the same female cultivator who, when Luo Chen had first come to Tian Lan Immortal City to rent a cave house, had allowed them to view the residence.
Ling Yuzhi, a Sixth Level Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Of course, Ling Yuzhi recognized Luo Chen as well.
She had a very deep impression of him.
At the time of renting the cave house, he had made quite a show to inflate his importance.
Back then, she just thought he was simply a country bumpkin.
But half a month ago, at the Binglan Palace banquet, he had been summoned by a Golden Core Ascendant Master of the Ice Castle.
She was there to witness that scene firsthand.
Unexpectedly, this “country bumpkin,” who she had looked down upon, ended up snatching her cave house.
Ling Yuzhi’s face shifted from angry to pale, and eventually she stormed off after swinging her sleeves.
What a poor fuss.
After she left, Shi Lan came out cautiously.
“Senior Luo, here is your new token for the Cave Mansion, all the basic second order arrays have been reset. From now on, the Yi Seventh Cave Mansion is yours.”
Taking the token, Luo Chen weighed it in his hand.
Shi Lan explained at his side, “This token can divide into nine small ones, for your close friends and family members to enter and exit Tianlan Peak. The specific operation method is the same as the previous lower-grade cave house token.”
Luo Chen nodded, then extended two storage bags.
“This is my rent for two years, you can count it.”
Two years’ rent, why in two bags?
Shi Lan was stunned for a moment, only to see Luo Chen wink at her.
Instantly, she got it.
Shi Lan, somewhat flustered, secretly stashed the spirit stones from one of the bags into her own storage bag.
During the process, she counted a bit, and her eyes lit up.
A full four thousand spirit stones!
This belongs to her alone, on top of her commission.
Senior Luo, how generous!
As for the other storage bag, it contained the remaining two-year rent of ninety-six new spirit stones.
After some time, Shi Lan managed to transfer the spirit stones, then returned the two storage bags to Luo Chen.
“Senior, everything is in order now.”
“The Second Order Earth Fire you need, has been brought in.”
“I’ve already placed the top-grade pill tripod for you, and you can use it for Pill Refinement anytime.”
“Also, do you need to clean up? I can do it for free!”
Luo Chen smiled, “That won’t be necessary, I’ve brought people with me, so I won’t trouble you.”
Shi Lan glanced at the few people nearby, and nodded in comprehension.
“Alright!”
“In that case, I’ll go back to report the task as complete.”
With a wave of her hand, the little girl cheerfully left the developed cave mansion.
Watching her lively back, Qu Lingjun came over and couldn’t help but ask:
“Master, you are a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator. Why did you need to be so polite to a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator?”
To be polite, was of course not being polite on the surface.
Rather, he was referring to the bribe Luo Chen had just provided.
The conversation between the two of them just now was not held in private from Qu Lingjun and the others.
Luo Chen with a slight smile on his lips, calmly said: “Being polite has its reasons, and being polite will bring its benefits.”
Turning around, he looked at the brightly lit giant cave mansion.
“Do you think there is no one renting such a high-quality Spirit Land?”
Qu Lingjun was puzzled, “But isn’t Senior Ling out of money?”
“She may be out of money, but it doesn’t mean others are.” Luo Chen headed towards the mansion, and the others quickly followed him inside.
As they walked, Luo Chen continued speaking.
“There are plenty of people eyeing the Second Order Ascendant Grade Cave Mansion on Tianlan Peak!”
“After all, it’s a high-quality Spirit Land where the concentration of Spirit Qi has doubled, significantly enhancing the cultivation speed.”
“We have only been in the Tian Lan Immortal City for three years at most, and even if we made advanced reservations, we would still rank behind others.”
“As a result, I was the one who managed to rent this cave mansion first.”
“Do you understand the principle behind this?”
Listening to his words, Qu Lingjun fell into thought.
For the older seniors like Mi Li and Qiu Yin, they already understood the implications.
However, they didn’t speak since it was clear that Luo Chen was assuming his responsibility as a master, teaching his disciple through his actions.”
There was still an unspoken implication in Luo Chen’s words.
Renting this Ascendant Grade Cave Mansion in advance was indeed thanks to Shi Lan’s assistance.
However, it also had to do with him being favored by Fairy Jueqing.
Not to mention anything else, renting an Ascendant Grade Mansion required at least a ten-year contract.”
The entire rent had to be paid upfront in full.”
Ling Yuzhi was driven away reluctantly because she couldn’t afford such a massive amount of Spirit Stones.”
However, it is clear that Luo Chen, for the time being, was also unable to come up with that amount of Spirit Stones.”
He only paid the rent for two years.”
So why could he do it when Ling Yuzhi couldn’t?”
That’s where Fairy Jueqing played a role.”
And all of this is due to Luo Chen’s Pill Refinement Technique.”
In the end, how one behaves is one aspect, but one’s strength is another.”
At Qu Lingjun’s low level, his strength was merely mediocre.”
Therefore, before beginning his cultivation, he must first learn how to be a person.”
Otherwise, even with immense strength, he would still struggle in the Immortal Cultivation World.”
No need to delve too deep into these words.”
When Qu Lingjun’s realm improves in the future, he will naturally understand.”
Upon entering the cave mansion, a strong fragrance greeted them.”
Luo Chen furrowed his brows.”
He waved his large sleeves in front of the four.”
Streams of Spirit Qi gushed out like a windstorm.”
They penetrated into each room, removing all the smells.”
The Cleaning Technique! The Cleaning Technique!
It could originally just remove smells.”
“All right, I’ve removed the smell, you guys tidy up each room!”
“Yes, master!”
“President, I’m going.”
The four took out tools from their storage bags and began cleaning each room.”
After cleaning a room, they would take out the furniture that Sima Huiniang had specially arranged for Luo Chen.”
Antique bookshelves, rosewood tables and chairs, incense burners, large beds, bowls, chopsticks, inksticks, papers…
I believe it won’t be long before this mansion looks brand new and becomes Luo Chen’s new home.”
While they were busy, Luo Chen slowly stepped into the Pill Room!”
First thing he saw.”
A huge white cauldron came into view.”
Reaching out a hand, Luo Chen gently stroked the patterns on the white cauldron, as if touching a lover’s soft skin.”
His gaze was deep and passionate, his breath heated.”
Top Grade Cauldron, the Ice Royal Tripod!
Made with the Four Symbols Tripod as the main material, it was refined from the Fourth Grade Spirit Material Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice.”
Originally, it was meant to be refined into a Magic Item level cauldron, but due to the nature of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice, the process failed.”
Despite the failure.”
As a Magic Tool used only for pill refinement, this Ice Royal Tripod is top-notch.”
Because of its singular function, its assistance in pill refinement is nearly as good as those multifunctional cauldrons.”
Compared to Ascendant Grade pill cauldrons, it is far superior.”
Take Luo Chen’s Four Symbols Tripod for example.”
It can only refine four portions of raw materials at once and five at its limit.”
Plus, controlling it is quite complicated.”
The problem lies in the fact that the Four Symbols Tripod has too many functions, and during pill refinement, the control Spiritual Secrets often need to be switched.”
But the Ice Royal Tripod is different.”
It can refine up to ten portions of raw materials at once.”
And it’s relatively simple to control.”
Because the Array engraved on it is all related to auxiliary pill refinement.”
Second Order Transfire Array, Second Order Fire Wood Array, Second Order Solidifying Pill Array, and the unique Third Order Array Gathering Cloud Array.”
This “Gather Cloud” is not the usual “Gather Cloud.”
As is known to all, pill patterns will appear on every pill above a certain grade.”
Because the patterns of the pill patterns largely resemble the elusive clouds.”
Therefore, pill patterns are also called cloud patterns.”
This Third Order Gathering Clouds Array has the peculiar effect of condensing cloud patterns.”
If refined with this, the efficiency will far surpass all previous pill cauldrons and furnaces!”
You could say that this is Luo Chen’s “Dreamy Love Tripod”!
