Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Dust Settles
“Is there a problem with this property deed?”

рlease,reading On ΒΟXΝOVEL.ϹʘM

Wang Chen’s gaze flickered as he inquired calmly.

He was at the Household Court, handling the procedures related to the property deed transfer.

The Cloud Sun Sect was responsible for managing the one hundred thousand Outer Sect disciples, as well as the three cities of Cloud Mountain, Cloud Lake, and Cloud Sea, with a total population of nearly one million, thus establishing many different halls.

Among these halls, the Household Court was unremarkable but held a quite high status.

Any affairs related to the movement of household registrations within the jurisdiction, property transactions, or even including marriage, funerals, weddings, childbirth, etc., had to be processed and registered here.

After Wang Chen obtained his Inner Sect eligibility at the Merit Affairs Hall, he came over here to deal with the property deed left to him by Lv Defang.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Although as the head of the household, Lv Defang transferred this house to Wang Chen before his death.

If the transfer procedures were not handled at the Household Court, he would not be considered the real owner of the house.

Moreover, this house was worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones and was a relic left by the original owner’s father.

Wang Chen could not possibly ignore it, both emotionally and reasonably.

Now that the property deed had been handed over, the manager in charge of the transfer scrutinized it for a long time, his expression rather strange.

He didn’t give a result the whole time.

Even with Wang Chen’s patience, he was getting a bit annoyed.

In response to his question, the Household Court manager chuckled awkwardly, “The property deed is real, but as for this original owner…”

“The former head of the household was my uncle,” Wang Chen directly interrupted him: “The one before him was my father. Now my uncle has given me this house, is there a problem?”

Clearly, there was an issue with this guy, or he wouldn’t have such an attitude.

This house, worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, likely had other complications involved.

But Wang Chen had no intention of entangling with the other party.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

He immediately slapped the Jade Token that he had just gotten on the table in front of the man.

No matter what kind of ghosts or monsters, let’s talk with strength!

Seeing the Identity Plaque that represented the status of an Inner Sect Disciple, the Household Court manager’s face immediately changed, and he hurriedly nodded, saying, “No problem, no problem, I’ll handle it for you right now.”

His attitude had completely changed!

The reason was actually very simple.

Although he was a manager, he couldn’t afford to provoke an Inner Sect Disciple.

Most importantly, there was nothing wrong with Wang Chen’s property deed in the first place.

So why bother finding trouble for himself, muddying the waters and taking chestnuts out of the fire for others?

Spirit Stones are great, but you need to be alive to spend them!

The Household Court manager completed the transfer procedures at the fastest speed and recorded the relevant information into Wang Chen’s Identity Plaque.

From then on, the residence left by Wang Shaoyuan truly belonged to Wang Chen!

“Thanks.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Wang Chen took back the property deed and Identity Plaque and left the Household Court.

He had always worked in the fields outside the city’s Defense Area and hadn’t had much direct experience.

Only now did he truly realize.

Just how high the status of an Inner Sect Disciple in the sect actually was!

Wang Chen’s decision to first go to the Merit Affairs Hall to get a new Identity Plaque before coming to the Household Court to handle affairs was clearly very correct.

Otherwise, with his former status as an Outer Sect Disciple.

Considering that Household Court manager’s demeanor.

There would have been a nine out of ten chance of issues arising.

It’s really simple for them to cause trouble if they wanted to, by finding some reasons and excuses.

Now that he slammed the Jade Token down, the other party immediately knelt.

This person…

Wang Chen sighed inwardly, exited the main hall, and headed straight to the south of the city.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The original owner’s memories were gradually surfacing in his mind.

The streets and alleys he passed became familiar.

The original owner lived in Cloud Sun City with Wang Shaoyuan until he was twelve.

What had just awakened were his childhood memories.

Wang Chen’s steps crossed a quiet stone-path alleyway.

He stopped in front of a residence.

This residence was situated at the very end of the alley, surrounded by trees and flower vines covering the walls.

A scene full of life and brimming with Spiritual Energy.

The environment was a hundred times better than his rural abode!

Wang Chen stepped onto the staircase and lightly pressed his hand on the firmly closed front door.

The Jade Token hanging at his waist flashed with a ray of light, and the solid wooden door creaked open inward of its own accord.

Welcome back to him, the long-lost owner!

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The memories of the original owner.

They surged in Wang Chen’s mind one after another.

He took a deep breath, stepped over the threshold, and entered the front courtyard.

The residence was not very large, but it was divided into front and back sections, with an extremely elegant layout.

The floor of the front courtyard was paved with very hard bluestone, and even now, one could still clearly see the traces left by Wang Shaoyuan practicing martial arts and conditioning his body.

A lush osmanthus tree planted in the corner of the yard, with stone tables and benches underneath it, still remained as they were.

Wang Chen did not stop walking, passing through corridors and households, and finally, he reached the inner room.

He pushed open a door.

This was the room that the original owner had lived in for ten years!

The wooden bed, wardrobe, tables, and chairs inside were all so familiar and dear.

Glistening tears instantly overflowed Wang Chen’s eyes.

These were not Wang Chen’s own emotions, but those of the original owner’s lingering soul crying!

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

In fact, Wang Chen had sensed long ago that there was a strand of the original owner’s Divine Soul remaining inside him.

It was the existence of this strand of soul that allowed Wang Chen to fully inherit the original owner’s memories.

Because there were no negative impacts,

And since he had taken over someone else’s body and inherited their karma,

He had not taken any specific action after discovering it.

In fact, if Wang Chen wanted to,

With his current cultivation level and the strength of the True Form of Heavenly Dragon in his Sea of Consciousness,

He could easily crush and devour the original owner’s lingering soul!

Wang Chen believed that afterward, the attributes of the Divine Soul wouldn’t be as unique as “3+11” anymore.

But Wang Chen let the original owner’s memories churn wildly in his mind, letting the hot tears stream down his cheeks,

As he stood silently in the room, motionless.

Only when the tide of memories receded and the tears dried did he feel an unprecedented peace of mind.

The original owner’s lingering soul had received great comfort!

He closed the room door again.

As the new master, Wang Chen inspected the inside and outside of this house all over again.

This residence was more than enough to accommodate a dozen people.

Front and back courtyards, bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, all sorts of furniture were complete.

Furthermore, two underground chambers had been opened up,

For routine cultivation use.

Beyond that, there was a low-tier protective array installed within the house.

If someone broke in, the array would automatically sound an alarm and launch a counterattack!

When Wang Chen had come in, the array had been activated.

This kind of array’s defense wasn’t strong and could easily be broken, mainly serving as a warning system.

Correspondingly, the consumption of Spirit Stones to maintain the array’s operation was also low.

After obtaining the house title, Lv Defang had obviously been living here, and the Spirit Stones embedded in the array were still quite new.

Wang Chen didn’t touch them.

He was considering whether to sell the house or not.

Because after entering the Inner Sect, he would definitely need to reside and cultivate in the Inner Mountain Gate where Spiritual Energy was most abundant.

Consequently, this house in Cloud Sun City would end up being vacant long term, a serious waste of resources.

Plus, Wang Chen had previously inquired—

The current property prices in the city were very high, an excellent time to sell!

He had now been promoted to the higher tiers of Qi Cultivation and could study higher-tier spells; even with the panel in hand, the resources needed for daily cultivation would inevitably increase.

Only thus could he ensure the effectiveness of his cultivation and lay a solid foundation for his Breakthrough Mansion.

And cultivation resources wouldn’t fall from the sky; he’d need to exchange for them with Merit Points or buy them with Flower Spirit Stones.

Spirit Stones, one could never have too many!

After careful consideration, Wang Chen temporarily suppressed the idea of selling the property.

Even if he were to sell, he’d have to choose an appropriate time and find a reliable middleman to handle the transaction.

Otherwise, he might not even realize if he got the short end of the stick.

Don’t rush it.

Touching the business card that the white-robed cultivator had left him in his pocket, Wang Chen locked the door again,

Absent any longing, he walked away.

…

As he passed by a general store on the street, a thought suddenly struck Wang Chen.

He entered and asked the shopkeeper, “Do you have Pure Yang Virgin Boy Water for sale here?”

“We do,”

The shopkeeper replied with a welcoming smile, “The Pure Yang Virgin Boy Water suitable for those who are Shedding Mortality is priced at two Fragmented Spirit Stones per catty. Qi Refinement Realm starts from fifty Fragmented Spirit Stones. How much do you need, Immortal Master? If it’s a large amount, our shop can arrange for more from our main store.”

“The ones for Shedding Mortality will suffice,”

Wang Chen thought for a moment and said, “Prepare five thousand catties for me, when can I have it?”

“Five thousand catties isn’t a problem,”

The shopkeeper guaranteed, patting his chest, “If Immortal Master is in a hurry to have them, come back in half a two-hour period, and they’ll be ready!”

“Okay!”

Wang Chen immediately paid fifty Low Spirit Stones as a deposit, “I’ll come back in half a two-hour period.”

He squeezed his fist,

Under the force, his knuckles immediately clicked crisply.

The Black Traveler Evil Wraiths in the Chaotic Burial Mound, tonight you shall sip the yellow soup.

Pure yang’s, it’ll fill you up!
