Chapter 604 - 604: Do You Have to Be So Rich?!

Zhao Yuan closed his eyes, taking a deep breath of the surrounding Scholarly Qi.

As the Scholarly Qi entered his body, he discovered that his cultivation, which he had just advanced to the Mid Stage of the Qi Listening Realm, had stabilized considerably as a result!

This came as a pleasant surprise and strengthened his resolve to buy a house here.

Mu Han didn't know what Zhao Yuan was doing. Seeing him suddenly stop, she quickly called out, "Mr. Zhao, please follow me. This way."

"Coming," Zhao Yuan replied. He opened his eyes and followed Mu Han through the scenic district.

As for the Scholarly Qi, he'd have plenty of time to absorb it slowly after he moved in.

The landscaping in Cao Tang Peninsula District was exceptionally well done. Small bridges over flowing streams, green trees, and rockeries created a beautiful, picture-perfect scene.

Walking through it felt like strolling through an artfully designed garden, calming the heart.

The dense groves of trees isolated the area from the clamor of the outside world, making it exceptionally tranquil, with only the sounds of babbling brooks and chirping birds. It was hard to imagine this district was actually in a bustling urban area, right next to the famous and tourist-filled Du Fu's Cottage!

Led by Mu Han, Zhao Yuan arrived in front of one of the villas.

This villa was situated right next to Huanhua Creek. Along with several other nearby villas, it was nestled inside a U-shaped bend in the creek's path.

Mu Han explained, "Mr. Zhao, this is the one. Look, my colleague is already here, waiting for us by the door."

Zhao Yuan nodded but didn't rush forward. Instead, he activated his Qi Observation Technique.

One look was all it took to startle him. He couldn't help but exclaim, "What a powerful Qi field! Such dense Scholarly Qi!"

Mu Han was completely baffled. "Mr. Zhao, what are you talking about?" she asked, confused.

"It's nothing." Zhao Yuan waved his hand and began to study the villa carefully. At the same time, a line of information projected from the Information Leaf, appearing in his vision.

After reading the information, Zhao Yuan understood everything.

'So that's how it is. This layout, embraced by a U-shaped river, is known in Feng Shui as a "Jade Belt Around the Waist"—an excellent configuration. The endlessly flowing river is the Jade Belt itself, washing in wealth Qi and driving away Evil Qi. Furthermore, Huanhua Creek flows from the direction of Du Fu's Cottage. So the water carries not only wealth Qi but also Scholarly Qi! After accumulating and fermenting for a long time, the Qi field here has naturally become incredibly powerful! The Scholarly Qi is many times denser than elsewhere!'

Next, Zhao Yuan entered the villa, led by Mu Han and her colleague.

It was a three-story villa with a large floor area. Although it was an unfurnished shell, the real estate agency sent people to clean it regularly, so it looked reasonably tidy.

The villa was surrounded by a large garden, but it was currently neglected and desolate, overgrown with weeds. Still, it was certain to be beautiful once properly cared for. A white wall with blue-gray tiles enclosed both the garden and the villa.

While Zhao Yuan was sizing up the villa, Mu Han was chattering away, giving him a detailed introduction.

However, Zhao Yuan didn't care about things like location, floor space, or investment potential. What he wanted was a Blessed Land that could help his cultivation! This villa was a perfect fit.

So he waved his hand, cutting Mu Han off. "Alright, that's enough. I'll take this villa!"

"You'll take it? Really?" Mu Han was stunned at first, then overcome with a wave of ecstasy. Although she tried to remain composed, her trembling voice betrayed her true feelings.

Her colleague standing beside her had eyes filled with deep envy.

As the one who usually cleaned the villa, he would get a commission after it was sold, but that small amount was nothing compared to what Mu Han would earn.

"Of course it's real," Zhao Yuan said with a smile. "Help me contact the owner. See when he's free to come and sign the sales contract with me. Oh, right, how much is this villa?"

Hearing his last question, Mu Han and her colleague were both left speechless.

'You decided to buy the house without even knowing the price? Could you be any more impulsive?! Besides, didn't we just tell you the price a moment ago? Don't tell me you weren't listening to our presentation at all!'

They had guessed correctly. Zhao Yuan had been so focused on inspecting the villa's Feng Shui that he hadn't paid any attention to their presentation.

Although Mu Han was complaining internally, she didn't dare show it. She glanced at the information on her tablet and rattled off, "Mr. Zhao, the villa you've chosen has a building area of over 500 square meters, a garden of over 300 square meters, and also a basement of around 150 square meters..."

Zhao Yuan waved his hand, cutting her off again. "Alright, you don't need to give me all the stats. Just tell me the price."

"Uh..." Mu Han glanced at the final figures on her tablet. "The selling price for this villa is fifty million. All taxes and agency fees are to be borne by you, which will be another three million-plus. If you need a loan, our company can connect you with the relevant banks."

"No need." Zhao Yuan shook his head, declining Mu Han's offer. "I'll pay in full."

He had just earned ten million USD from Yue Tianchi, which was perfect for buying this villa.

Hearing this, Mu Han and her colleague were both inwardly shaken!

That's fifty million!

Not five million, and definitely not five hundred thousand!

'And you're just casually saying you'll pay in full? Do you think you're buying potatoes? Do you have to be such a tycoon?!'

It wasn't that they were inexperienced.

As real estate agents, even if they hadn't personally encountered it, they'd heard stories from colleagues about selling villas. But most people, even those willing to buy a luxury mansion worth tens of millions, would still get a mortgage. Someone like Zhao Yuan, who would just pull out over fifty million to pay in full, was a rare sight indeed.

"I'll contact the owner for you right away!"

Mu Han suppressed her excitement, looked up the owner's number through the employee portal, and made the call.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yuan casually strolled through the villa's garden, accompanied by the Bone Woman. Suddenly, the hairs on his neck stood up, and he felt a prickling sensation on his back, as if he were being watched.

'Someone is spying on me in secret!' Zhao Yuan's brow furrowed, and his expression instantly darkened.

Just as he was about to make a move, the feeling of being watched vanished.

'Who is spying on me? And what is their motive?' A series of questions rose in Zhao Yuan's mind.
