Chapter 770: Chapter 648: The Final Return to East Wilderness_2

Wang Zijia still remembered, the Human Pill refined by the Devil Gate in the Spirit Suppressing Realm, had the value of only three to five magic money. Given the normal absorption efficiency and the refining fees, as well as other losses, a healthy, young life for sure wasn’t even worth one magic money.

Even if this was the East Wilderness, which was a little more prosperous, and the heartland of the Orthodox Profound Sect, it couldn’t be compared this way.

However, a person who could bring out a hundred magic money as an entry fee... could he still be called an ordinary person?

The only benefit was that, for a hundred magic money, you would get an entry-and-exit order that could be used freely within three months.

...

After entering the city, Wang Zijia looked around.

Most of those filling the streets were monks, predominately Perfected Ones, dressed in a wide variety of styles.

Some wore Taoist robes, Heavenly Master Robes, Scholarly Robes, and occasionally there were a few individuals in light muslin skirts, slightly revealing and exotically dressed...

They were all unique, and at the same time very classical indeed.

On either side of the street, decorative jade railings and double-eaved roofs were interspersed with all sorts of flickering lights, like charms and arrays emitting neon-like hues.

In the shops, all kinds of children were courting customers, and there were even a few ordinary folks to be seen doing the lowest forms of odd jobs.

Above them, celestial beings cloud soaring, riding through the mist, appeared ethereal, flying freely like the immortals from the Nine Heavens.

A highly developed cultivation environment, with the lower levels struggling for life and the higher ones flying around freely.

At that moment, a spirit of Xianxia punk came over him, making Wang Zijia feel a bit of enlightenment.

This place had some similarities to Wanyu City, but it was completely different.

It had more prosperity and less of the unique uniformity belonging to a clan.

Wang Zijia declined the offers of a few child guides, and he strolled around the streets of Sanyuan City by himself, gradually becoming familiar with the city.

Afterward, he kept his cultivation in the Primordial Spirit Stage, so as not to be too conspicuous and also not to attract the attention of the heedless ones.

...

"Noble sir, I wonder if there’s anything you need?" When Wang Zijia walked into a store, the shopkeeper in the Perfected Realm greeted him respectfully.

Wang Zijia glanced around, leading the way while saying, "I just arrived in Sanyuan City and am looking for a place to settle in."

The man returned his look with a smile, asking, "Senior, I wonder if you want to rent a Spirit Vein Cave Mansion or just find a courtyard in the city?"

"Our shop is only responsible for buying, selling, and leasing courtyards in the city. The mentioned Spirit Vein Cave Mansions are exclusively leased by the Spiritual Vein Institute in the East District, and no shop is allowed to meddle. However, junior can guide the way for senior."

It seems that Sanyuan City has adopted similar methods to the Daqian Dragon Vein, guiding the ground veins to gather around and making the city with a spiritual energy density of a third-grade spiritual vein, like a blessed land. This was one of the reasons for the expensive entry fee. Living here was equivalent to living within a third-grade spiritual vein!

But unlike the various dragon vein cities of Daqian and Wanyu City, there is a group of spiritual veins in the eastern region of this city, a professional cave mansion for rent.

It seemed like a combination of the Daqian Mansion City and Wanyu City.

Wang Zijia, being so impressive, wasn’t too concerned with his cultivation environment, "Just a normal courtyard will be fine."

While they were talking, they had already come to the reception area of the shop and they were seated.

The Shopkeeper heard, looked pleased and asked, "So, senior, do you want to buy or lease and do you have any special requirements for the courtyard?"

"I’ll buy one, leasing is too inconvenient."

After all, he was a Tribulation Crossing Big Shot. Although he didn’t have much magic money, but he had made a small fortune whilst constantly traveling around these last few months, despite being beset by a host of issues.

So he didn’t need to be too stingy.

"As for the requirements... something bigger, quieter, with better surroundings would be fine. No need to worry about the spiritual energy environment..."

In the course of Wang Zijia choosing his words and explaining his requirements, the shopkeeper had produced a light screen and was operating it in sync with Wang Zijia’s words. When Wang Zijia finished speaking, the other man already had the results.

"There are five courtyards in total that roughly meet your requirements. Please take a look, senior. If you are not satisfied, I can ask amongst my peers again."

"In any case, as long as a courtyard exists in Sanyuan City that fulfills your needs, our shop will definitely be able to find it."

He smiled and pushed the light screen towards Wang Zijia.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia looked towards the light screen pushed to him by the other party.

Among them, three large courtyards with a Southern Chinese style had pavilions as white as jade standing among the green tiles and white walls; a seven-story tower stood in the center of a courtyard resembling a park layout;

In a courtyard like a royal mansion, various grand buildings were closely connected, at a rough estimate, there were more than ten entries.

Wang Zijia ruled out the royal mansion first, it was large but not suitable for one person to live in.

He preferred the three courtyards in the Southern Chinese style, but Wang Zijia started with the park tower.

With Wang Zijia’s touch, the surrounding space seemed to expand, shift, and change.

In the blink of an eye, the chair where Wang Zijia was sitting remained, but the ground had disappeared. It was as if they were sitting in the clouds at that moment.

Looking down, a park covering two kilometers was well landscaped with plenty of spiritual plants cultivated. At the center was a seven-story white jade tower with a classic style.

The carved beams and painted rafters, the upturned eaves, were all filled with the essence of Xianxia.

’This... is a classical castle in Xianxia style, I suppose?’

Seeing the luxurious White Jade Tower, Wang Zijia thought of the luxurious castles in the suburbs of the city in his previous life.

However, this was a Chinese-style romantic vibe, lacking the extravagance of a castle but having more of the transcendence of the Immortal Path.

"This courtyard was a dwelling of a Tribulation Crossing God Monarch, but due to some reasons, the deity no longer resides in Sanyuan City. His properties were handed over to various stores in the city for disposal,"

"If you like it, feel free to take a look. You can rest assured about your origin. Not many people in Sanyuan City would dare to provoke a Primordial Spirit God Monarch like you, let alone the involvement of a Tribulation Crossing God Monarch,"

While Wang Zijia was checking out the park pavilion courtyard, the shopkeeper explained with a smile.

Wang Zijia didn’t say anything, pointed at the tower below, and the surroundings quickly transformed, bringing them directly into the tower.

The entire White Jade Tower was huge, with cultivation areas, research areas, offices, study rooms... they were separated not only by floors but also by areas.

It’s a good place, though a bit too spacious. It is suitable as an office or a clan headquarters.

It’s not appropriate for a person to use it alone, unless there are hundreds of people to serve him. Wang Zijia didn’t have a clan in East Wilderness, which made it inappropriate.

However, such a place has a high appeal.

Wang Zijia quite liked it. He would get one when he had the means!

······

His mind was racing, he turned off the tower. The illusion dissipated and they returned to the reception room of the store. Wang Zijia then clicked to open another courtyard.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper didn’t say much and quietly waited for Wang Zijia to inspect.

Thanks to the illusionary formation that was like virtual reality, Wang Zijia found it more convenient than inspecting the houses in person. It didn’t take him long to get a general idea of the three courtyards.

Finally, he set his sights on a medium-sized four-entry courtyard called Wenlan Courtyard.

"This place is pretty good!" After a while, Wang Zijia broke the silence.

"The place is indeed arranged very elegantly, and its location is good too. However, this place used to be a dwelling of an Infant God, which might be a little small for you," the shopkeeper carefully explained when he heard this.

"Let’s go take a look at this courtyard. If there’s no problem, then we’ll settle here!" Wang Zijia said indifferently. Was a four-entry courtyard still considered small?

He didn’t have any family!

"Okay, please, this way!" The shopkeeper said joyfully.

His enthusiasm from the beginning wasn’t just because of Wang Zijia’s cultivation.

But also because cultivators like this were usually quite easy-going.

Unlike the ordinary in-house cultivators, even if they could survive in this city, they mostly struggled. Buying a house would at least involve half a month of fussing, and only after a lot of comparisons and careful considerations would they be able to make a decision.
