Chapter 548: Chapter 202: Celestial Essence City Cave Mansion, Choosing a Spirit Land, Blood Evil Alliance, Heaven and Earth Alliance—This Is the Place I Want

Especially from the Third-Layer Foundation Establishment to the Fourth Layer, and from the Sixth Layer to the Seventh Layer.

How many people have been stuck at these stages for life, unable to make any progress?

"At least for me now, my talent can be considered pretty decent.

Comparable to the dual-attribute spirit root talent.

No worse than the Bai Family’s Qilinzi Bai Yufeng or the Zheng Family’s Zheng Cheng.

Moreover, the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique that I practice is a top-level cultivation method, and I have already reached the Small Success Realm, otherwise don’t even mention adding one point in five days; even a month or two of hard cultivation might not increase my cultivation at all."

Zhou Changwang sighed.

He stood up as well.

Today is the first day of the Celestial Essence Summit, and naturally, he wanted to take a stroll outside.

To see the surrounding scenery.

Just as he stepped out of the array gate, he saw Zheng Qi and Zheng Ajiu waiting not far away.

Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Zhou Changwang then walked over.

"Senior, you have come out."

The brother and sister hurriedly came up to greet him.

"When did you arrive? Why didn’t you activate the Sound Recording Array?"

Zhou Changwang asked casually.

This kind of cave mansion usually has a Sound Recording Array installed, so if a cultivator is in seclusion inside, it will not disturb them, but once stepping out of seclusion, the owner of the cave mansion can see the Sound Recording Array being activated and naturally receive the recorded sound from the array, thereby knowing who has visited and for what purpose.

"We didn’t dare to disturb Senior’s cultivation.

Also, we just arrived a short while ago, thank you for your concern, Senior."

Zheng Ajiu repeatedly said.

Beside her, Zheng Qi also nodded, smiling honestly.

"So you came for..."

"It’s Senior’s first time attending the Celestial Essence Summit, so we thought we would show you around. Additionally, if there is anything you need to know, you can ask us.

After all, we have lived here for a few years, and can act as your guides, plus if there’s anything you need, we can help, right?"

Zheng Ajiu first bowed respectfully and then spoke.

"That’s fine.

I just happen to have something that needs to be dealt with."

Zhou Changwang nodded and instructed, "Let us go, take me first to inquire about the leasing of Spirit Land.

If I plan to settle down here, I also need to find a suitable Spirit Land to reside in.

This cave mansion, although the environment is nice, is not suitable for my cultivation needs."

"For Spirit Land leasing, you don’t have to go far; you can handle it at the Affairs Hall up ahead.

Around Celestial Essence City, close to a hundred Spirit Veins of various sizes are on record, and most of them belong to the City Lord’s Mansion.

However, there are too many cultivators in Celestial Essence City.

Most of the better Spirit Lands, even if they aren’t leased out, as I mentioned before, have been claimed in one way or another by the surrounding cultivation forces.

Ordinary cultivators, even if they lease them, won’t truly be able to reside there."

Zheng Qi spoke as he led the way ahead.

Zhou Changwang followed behind, soon arriving at the Affairs Hall as mentioned.

The one in charge was a middle-aged cultivator, approximately at the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation.

Upon seeing Zhou Changwang, even without any disguise, the middle-aged cultivator’s expression didn’t change much, only becoming more serious.

"Steward Qin, my elder wishes to lease a piece of Spirit Land, may I know if there is any available around Celestial Essence City?

What are the rates?"

Zheng Ajiu stepped forward, bowed, and asked.

"Senior, this Affairs Hall is an enterprise of the City Lord’s Mansion, which belongs to the Qin Family, hence the steward here is naturally surnamed Qin, a member of the Qin Family."

Beside him, Zheng Qi explained through Sound Transmission.

"Spirit Land?

For a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, I suppose a First-Grade Spirit Land would not catch your eye.

As for Second-Grade Spirit Lands, there are eleven remaining.

The furthest among them is over two hundred li from Celestial Essence City, near the Autumn Mountain Demon Ridge, which the City Lord personally cleared and organized a decade ago.

It’s called the Qiuming Mountain Spirit Land.

The Spirit Vein Grade is quite good, Mid-Tier Second Grade. On the mountain, there is also a three-hundred-year-old Spiritual Peach Tree, reaching Third-Grade Level, it’s mature, flowering every three years, pollinating for three years, and fruiting for three years.

Meaning every nine years, a batch of Third-Grade Spiritual Peaches can be harvested, providing at least thirty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones every nine years due to this tree alone.

Additionally, there are many Second-Grade Spiritual Peaches and other Spiritual Objects, ensuring an annual income of over ten thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones at least.

Not to mention, there’s a small ore vein nearby, which is also part of the land. With diligent management, the profits won’t be small as well.

As for the rental cost, it’s quite cheap.

Thirty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones per year.

The lease term starts at thirty years, with settlements every ten years.

This means, even if you do nothing, you can stabilize an income of over ten thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones annually, effectively costing just a bit over ten thousand in actual rent.

If that ore vein is exploited, there might even be additional profit."

Steward Qin explained.

"Senior.

This Qiuming Mountain Spirit Land, I know a thing or two about it as well.

Indeed, as Steward Qin mentioned, it yields quite a lot; apart from the third-grade spirit plant, there is also a small Red Gold Spirit Ore vein on this land, though it’s tough to mine.

But with sufficient cultivators hired, you can still stably produce fifteen thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones annually.

However, the downside of this Spirit Vein is quite apparent.

It’s proximity to the Autumn Mountain Demon Ridge.

This Autumn Mountain Demon Ridge is a major danger zone near Celestial Essence City, teeming with countless demon beasts.
