Chapter 549: Chapter 202: Celestial Essence City Cave Mansion, Choosing Spirit Land, Blood Evil Alliance, Heaven and Earth Alliance, I’ve Set My Sights on This Place_4

It is said that in the deep mountains, there are terrifying great demons comparable to those above the Core Formation Realm.

Ten years ago, during that development campaign, the City Lord personally took action and managed to occupy a spirit vein. However, at that time, many great demons were not dealt with and escaped into the deep mountains.

Among them was the one-armed ape in the Qiuming Mountain Spirit Land.

This one-armed ape is a great demon comparable to a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. It is said that when someone entered the Autumn Mountain Demon Ridge, they saw this one-armed ape wandering near the Qiushan Spirit Land, and there is no guarantee it will not intrude again.

Additionally, since this place is close to the Autumn Mountain Demon Ridge, other demon beasts might intrude as well, so..."

Zheng Qi quickly introduced through sound transmission.

"Thank you for the reminder."

Zhou Changwang replied and then said, "Steward Qin, what about the others? Please introduce them as well."

There is no rush to make a decision.

The spirit land he considers must not only be safe but also a mature place where spirit fields have been developed.

Like the Qiuming Mountain Spirit Land, it certainly has great potential, and once developed, it often reveals unexpected surprises.

However, it would also be quite labor-intensive.

It might be a good choice for some cultivation clans, but it would not be his first choice.

He has no intention of organizing a spirit land from scratch to suit his own cultivation needs.

"Naturally, we have.

The Celestial Craft Spirit Vein is about one hundred and fifty miles from Celestial Essence City. It comes with a First-Grade Initial-Stage Spiritual Spring and is rich in Red Dragon Fruit, which is very delicious...

The Ten Thousand Brocade Spirit Vein is a Second-Grade Initial Tier Spirit Vein, with thirty acres of First-Grade Spirit Field and five acres of Second-Grade Initial Tier Spirit Field... Fifty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones per year, with a minimum lease of thirty years, and rent payable every ten years.

The Celestial Serpent Spirit Vein is a Second-Grade Initial Tier Spirit Vein, closest to Celestial Essence City, just over thirty miles away. It has nine acres of Second-Grade Initial Tier Spirit Field and one acre of Second-Grade Mid-Tier Spirit Field.

The only drawback is the abundance of rocks, but the terrain is dangerous. If the array is properly set up, three Initial-Tier Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators could not break through in a short time.

Most importantly, it is safe.

As long as emergency warnings are issued in time, guard cultivators from Celestial Essence City can arrive within the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.

So the rent is relatively more expensive, fifteen thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones per year, with a minimum lease of thirty years, and rent payable every ten years..."

Steward Qin continued to introduce while handing a Jade Scroll containing information about each spirit vein to Zhou Changwang.

"This Celestial Serpent Spirit Vein is so much more expensive?"

Listening to this, Zheng Qi couldn’t help but click his tongue.

He only knew that the clan land of his Zheng Family was also leased from the Affairs Hall of Celestial Essence City. Because it is relatively far away, the rent is only thirty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones per year.

Here, it is five times higher.

"Safety is priceless!"

Steward Qin sneered and said, "Being close to Celestial Essence City is equivalent to having a guarantee.

In our Celestial Essence City, we indeed assure safety for all cultivators leasing spirit veins.

But it often takes time to get there from Celestial Essence City.

If it only takes the time to burn a stick of incense to provide rescue, there is no fear of any tribulation cultivator, demon cultivator, or evil cultivator daring to take action.

Otherwise, it will take half an hour, or even an hour.

By the time the rescue message is received and the guard team cultivators rush to help, the Mountain Protection Array may have already been broken many times over.

What are we, the guard team, rushing there for? To collect corpses?"

Saying this, Steward Qin coldly snorted and said, "Therefore, the Celestial Serpent Spirit Land is worth this price."

Zheng Qi’s face turned red with frustration, yet he could not help but admit that what was said was true.

At this time, Zhou Changwang began to examine the Jade Scroll in hand.

Sparse, hundreds of spirit veins.

Among them was even a Third-Grade Spirit Vein.

However, it was also introduced that this Third-Grade Spirit Vein is occupied by the Wang Clan in Celestial Essence City, with an annual rent of ten thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones...

Zhou Changwang also learned from the Zheng Family Siblings about this Wang Clan, known as the second cultivation clan in Celestial Essence City, besides the Qin Family.

The clan leader Wang Jiugai is at the peak of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, now over one hundred and seventy years old, still having a chance to advance to the Core Formation Realm, along with twenty more Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators in the clan.

It is indeed capable of occupying this Third-Grade Spirit Vein.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning that the person interested in the Zheng Family’s Zheng Cheng is a female cultivator from the Wang Clan. Although not a direct descendant and her talent is only middle grade, she is naturally popular due to her beauty.

After deepening his impressions with each spirit vein, Zhou Changwang finally set his sights on those eleven vacant spirit lands.

The Qiuming Mountain Spirit Land, Celestial Craft Spirit Land, Ten Thousand Brocade Spirit Land, and Celestial Serpent Spirit Land were all prominently listed.

"I wonder, what is the rent for the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land?"

Zhou Changwang suddenly turned to Steward Qin and asked.

"Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land?

Fifty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones per year, minimum thirty-year lease, rent payable every ten years."

Steward Qin’s eyes lit up and he introduced it with a smile.

"Senior!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Qi hurriedly pulled Zhou Changwang aside and said, "Do you remember the cultivator I mentioned who leased the Mountain and River Peak?

There is a Blood Evil Alliance around the Mountain and River Peak that secretly took it over.

So that cultivator had to return to Celestial Essence City to find a solution.

As for the Five Peaks Mountain you selected, although smaller than the Mountain and River Peak, it also has a Heaven and Earth Alliance nearby.

The Heaven and Earth Alliance is even more domineering than the Blood Evil Alliance.

It is said that two previous cultivators who leased this Five Peaks Mountain have gone missing.

Many suspect it is because of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

At least on the surface, the Five Peaks Mountain is occupied by the Heaven and Earth Alliance, with a branch and an Initial-Tier Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator residing there.

Zheng Qi spoke earnestly.

Hopeing Zhou Changwang would abandon the thought.

"Heaven and Earth Alliance?

How many Foundation Establishment cultivators do they have? What is their strength?"

Zhou Changwang asked curiously.

"They don’t have many, maybe only five Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

But their Alliance Leader is a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Plus, they have many members... Senior, I think we should choose another place?"

Zheng Qi advised repeatedly.

"But I am interested in this place."

Zhou Changwang frowned.

Other places are either too far from Celestial Essence City, inconvenient, or have harsh environments, or are overall too large and difficult to manage.

Only the Five Peaks Mountain is of an appropriate size, and the grade of the spirit land is not low, mid-tier Second Grade, adequate for his use for a period of time.

"In fact, Senior can be assured of this.

For an additional three thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, we at the City Lord’s Mansion can help drive cultivators off the spirit land.

If you spend five thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Our guard team will not only drive cultivators off but also reside there for a month.

During this time, it will be enough for a fellow cultivator to set up a defensive array, and naturally, there will be no need to worry about those disturbances."

Steward Qin quickly explained.

"Oh?"

...

So tired, finally finished.
