Dao Companions Help Me Live Forever

Chapter 76: Settling Down

After about two hours,

Yu Xian walked out of a courtyard with a sign that read "Land Department".

The three hundred spirit stones and a fifteen-square storage bag on his body had disappeared, replaced by a bamboo plaque with Yu Lan, which had become a jade plaque with the word "permanent" on the back.

He also acquired a house of over three hundred square meters in the West City Rice District.

From now on, he and Yu Lan were considered permanent residents of Shangyang City.

"This is your reward, fellow Daoist."

Yu Xian took out fifty spirit stones and handed them to a bearded cultivator.

The bearded cultivator was a real estate agent and was introduced by Zhou Fan. Without him, Yu Xian would have had to go through a lot of trouble to buy a house.

Who knows why buying a house in Shangyang City requires a three-year temporary residence certificate.

Of course, there are always ways to bypass the rules.

Just like now, shortly after arriving in Shangyang City, he already had a three-year certificate and qualified to buy a house.

"Haha, fellow Daoist is too polite. If you want to buy or sell a house in the future, feel free to come find me."

The bearded cultivator skillfully accepted the spirit stones, said some polite words, and bid farewell.

Houses in Shangyang City are in high demand, and many people are willing to buy one to pass down as an inheritance. So the bearded cultivator belongs to the seller's market where demand exceeds supply.

Of course, not every cultivator can pay the full amount upfront like Yu Xian.

So his attitude was very polite, while secretly remembering Yu Xian's appearance.

"This is for you."

Yu Xian threw a bag of three catties of spirit sand to Zhou Fan, who had been waiting for a long time.

Zhou Fan took it and was stunned, "Immortal Master, isn't this more than three catties?"

Yu Xian waved his hand, "I didn't know buying a house was so complicated before. Thanks to your introduction, it saved me a lot of trouble. I know you also put in some favors, so don't be polite."

"Until we meet again."

Without waiting for Zhou Fan to speak, Yu Xian pulled Yu Lan and walked towards their new home.

A fifteen-square storage bag is worth eight hundred spirit stones on the market, plus three hundred spirit stones, totaling one thousand one hundred spirit stones.

A house of over three hundred square meters and two permanent residency qualifications dared to charge him over one thousand spirit stones.

Damn, it turns out that real estate is even faster than robbing money.

...

West City Rice District.

When Yu Xian saw his big house, he finally didn't feel so heartbroken.

The houses here are equivalent to detached villas, with a distance of over ten meters between each house. Whether it's lighting and space, privacy and freedom, it's all sufficient.

But come to think of it.

Shangyang City is neither big nor small, with an area of over ten square kilometers.

If they really built pigeon houses to sell, it wouldn't be a problem to build millions of households. Even if they only sold for one hundred spirit stones per household, it would still be a astronomical figure.

But other cultivators are not fools and cannot be slaughtered by Shangyang City.

The reason why houses in Shangyang City are so expensive is because there is a second-grade high-quality spiritual vein beneath the main peak of Shangyang City.

Although places like the Rice District are only on the periphery of the spiritual vein, they still have a concentration of spiritual energy that exceeds fifty percent of the outside.

However, the burden of the spiritual vein is limited.

If there are too many people, this excess fifty percent concentration becomes meaningless, and the people living here will lose their cultivation advantages.

So the houses in Shangyang City are said to have been designed by formation masters, ensuring that even if every house is fully occupied, it will not weaken the cultivation effect.

For places like the Rice District, with an area of about one hundred and fifty acres, there are only a little over one hundred households.

And this number can only decrease, not increase.

Once there are more, the cultivation effect will be weakened, just like blocking the path.

When cultivators get angry, they won't stop until they kill.

So even the most greedy managers dare not have any ideas about this.

After all, ordinary civilians have no power to resist. They can only do as they are told by their superiors. But cultivators who can afford over a thousand spirit stones are not easy to provoke.

They are willing to kill!

Hmm, this common knowledge was told to Yu Xian by the bearded intermediary.

After all, the intermediary received fifty spirit stones, so it would be unprofessional if he didn't provide some useful information.

The house is in the style of a quadrangle courtyard, with a basic alarm formation set up outside the courtyard. Once someone forcefully breaks in, the formation will emit a noise, attracting the patrol cultivators in the city.

If the owner doesn't stop the formation, the noise will only get louder.

As for other effects, there are none.

After all, it's a free gift, so you can't expect too much.

Yu Xian touched it lightly, and the protective strength of the alarm formation was roughly equivalent to adding a thick cloth layer in the air.

With a little force, the formation was torn open.

Sure enough, in the next instant, the formation started screeching.

Yu Xian quickly took out a silver key, infused it with spiritual power, and the key lit up with a white light, a rune rising and disappearing in the air.

The alarm formation immediately stopped screaming, and the air rippled like water.

The formation was temporarily lifted.

"Go in, this is our new home."

Yu Xian pushed open the door and smiled at Yulan beside him.

"New home?"

A look of confusion appeared on Yulan's face, as if she was still in a daze.

"I know you're confused since you accompanied me to this unfamiliar cultivation world, but don't be afraid, I've always been here."

Yu Xian embraced Yulan's waist and whispered in her ear.

"Remember, you are my greatest treasure, and I will never abandon you."

He knew the reason why Yulan had been restless these past few days.

It was nothing more than being overly anxious and afraid that one day she would be abandoned.

After all, even if she looked at herself from head to toe, she couldn't find any special qualities that would make him continue to dote on her.

Especially with the previous example.

Although the princess didn't want to leave him, in the end, it was him who refused to compromise and took the initiative to go with the flow.

The consequence of this was that Yulan lacked a sense of security.

Sure enough, as Yu Xian spoke sweet words, Yulan's eyes became brighter and seemed to be shining.

"Husband, I..."

Yulan's face blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"No need to explain. I estimate that we will live here for several decades in the future. Focus on your cultivation. If you can break through the Foundation Building stage, it will be the greatest reward for me.

By then, I won't have to worry about losing you. A dignified Foundation Building cultivator, I wouldn't bear to lose you."

Yu Xian pinched Yulan's nose and embraced her as they entered the house.

"I'll be responsible for earning money to support the family, and you'll be responsible for being beautiful at home."

"I'm sorry, husband. It's all my wild imagination. If I dare to think randomly again, you can... you can spank me and wake me up."

Yulan leaned against Yu Xian's arm, her confused heart becoming firm, and she felt ashamed of her immaturity.

Her husband was so good to her that even if she had a little bad thought, it would be a heinous crime.

"If you think randomly, I'll have to spank you too."

Yu Xian patted Yulan's buttocks and glanced at the layout of the house.

The house faced north and south, with a screen wall at the entrance, followed by a courtyard. Two unknown trees were planted on the left and right, blooming with pink flowers, some even bearing small white fruits.

Not far from the tree on the left, there was a well.

There were side rooms on the east and west sides, with the main bedroom in the center and ear rooms on the left and right.

Although small, it had everything one needed.

Yu Xian swept his gaze over the courtyard and felt that there was still space to dig a pond and raise fish, which would be nice.

The home was already settled, and the next step was to find a way to make money.
