Wanjie City had a radius of over a hundred miles and a resident population of tens of millions. If you include transient people like Qi Tian, the total population easily exceeds a hundred million. Due to its large population, housing prices here were exceedingly high, and most of the time, vacant properties were a hot commodity that everyone fought over. It wasn’t as if just because you have a Gold Core cultivator as a guarantor, you would definitely be able to buy a house.

Qi Tian ran around in several places and found out that there were quite a number of cultivators like him, interested in buying houses or cave dwellings in Wanjie City.

This time, all the significant powers in Wanjie City collectively sent over a hundred thousand cultivators. Whether they were hired by these powers or not, they all had a substantial number of spirit stones in their hand after emerging from the secret realms. Some of them took these spirit stones to buy cultivation resources, but there were also people like Qi Tian who went searching for cave dwellings, preparing to settle in Wanjie City or move out of their original homes.

Originally, the supply of cave dwellings and houses in Wanjie City was low. With more people now seeking to buy them, the vacancies became increasingly scarce.

Qi Tian found his choices becoming more and more limited, and he could clearly feel that the prices of the cave dwellings had significantly increased compared to the last time he inquired. The prices generally rose by 10-20%, and for those in better locations, they even increased by 30 to 50%.

Qi Tian felt a twinge of pain in his wallet. In his previous life, the rise in house prices was jaw-dropping. He never anticipated experiencing another surge in housing prices in this life. But no matter how high the prices rose, he still needed to buy a dwelling in Wanjie City to have a place to stay, instead of becoming a floating weed without roots. He had to buy a house, he couldn’t not buy it just because the prices had risen.

Of course, buying one of those top-notch dwellings now was unrealistic for Qi Tian. While he had the money to buy a dwelling, the problem was that even if he bought one, he couldn’t protect it. There were so many Nascent Soul Masters and Gold Core cultivators in Wanjie City. If they took a fancy to his dwelling and came straight to him saying they liked his house, what could he say? He would have to obediently hand it over, he wouldn’t even dare to ask for a spirit stone in return, he would have to give it away for free. Considering all this, Qi Tian would absolutely not do such a thing. He could only buy a dwelling that matched his current strength.

Qi Tian rode on Hu Niu and rushed around Wanjie City for more than a day. In the end, he opted for a dwelling. It could hardly be called a dwelling, it was actually more like a small yard, not very large. The whole property, including the house and yard, was only a bit more than 120 square meters. The house wasn’t big, neither was the yard. In Wanjie City, the trend wasn’t to build skyscrapers, although there were some multi-story buildings, but they were typically two or three stories high and the area of each floor was quite limited. There were some taller tower-like buildings, but skyscrapers like the ones in his previous life which comprised dozens of floors weren’t popular in Wanjie City as they were not fitting for cultivators. For example, it was a problem how to prevent others from peering into one’s private secrets. One had to be wary of neighbors up and down, and watch out for prying eyes outside the window. On the other hand, if it was a solitary small yard, it would be much easier and more straightforward. All it needed was one isolation Array to satisfy all needs.

In Wanjie City, there were thousands of small yards like this one, too many to count. They were the most favorable dwelling choices for low-level cultivators in Wanjie City. Some were even crammed with several generations of one family, just like those who couldn’t afford to buy houses in Qi Tian’s previous life.

Qi Tian, holding the guarantee that Wan Xiaolan gave him, discussed the purchase with the original owner of the dwelling. A bit of haggling later, he finally bought the small yard for nearly 70,000 low-grade spirit stones. Then, he went to register at the local authority.

After the official recorded the information, he issued Qi Tian a new deed of land and also a Wanjie City resident card. With this card, Qi Tian was now a proper resident of Wanjie City, and all his activities here would be ensured basic safety. As long as he didn’t actively court death, he would generally be safe. Even if he went to some areas considered dangerous by outsiders, as long as he didn’t actively court death, his basic safety could still be guaranteed.

Qi Tian returned to his new home in Wanjie City with his brand-new property deed. Looking at the small yard of just over a hundred square meters, he felt a sense of peacefulness. Whether in his past or current life, this was the first time he had earned a home with his own hands and the sense of achievement was quite significant.

After reflecting a bit, Qi Tian began to tidy up. He first cleaned up the yard, removing any traces left by the previous owner, then took out the Array Disk and Array Flag to provide overall protection for the yard. Needless to say, he also placed arrays that prevent outsiders from snooping around.

After setting everything up, Qi Tian sat down peacefully inside his home. He looked over all the hundred coordinate points of small worlds given to him by Wan Xiaolan, then compared the various small worlds with the conditions of Great Zhao which he was familiar with.

Qi Tian had always suspected that the Cultivation World of Great Zhao he had reincarnated into was also a secret realm, and he wanted to see if he could find a way back. However, after analyzing the detailed introductions of the hundred small worlds, Qi Tian found to his immense frustration that none of them matched the conditions of Great Zhao’s Cultivation World.
