Two hours later, the monks who went to search came back one after another, but after returning, they all shook their heads helplessly at the middle-aged beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman had a blank expression on her face. When the last person came back, she realized that the person who had fought here was not found. She finally started to get angry.
The market town has only had a few years of peace, and now there are cultivators who are ignoring their existence and fighting under their noses. It seems that some people feel that life is too comfortable and they must teach them a lesson.
She threw the two scrapped defensive magic weapons to the people behind her, and without turning back, she ordered her subordinates, "Take these two scrapped magic weapons and check to see who they belong to. If you have any clues, come back and report to me."
The people behind should respond respectfully. You should know that these people are all cultivators above the seventh level of Qi training, and the old man before is even at the tenth level of Qi training.
However, they were so respectful to the middle-aged beautiful woman. It was not difficult to see that the middle-aged beautiful woman's cultivation had at least reached the Condensation Vortex Stage.
The people behind took the two defensive magic weapons and went down to search.
The beautiful middle-aged woman looked at their backs as they left and murmured to herself, "It seems that being peaceful for too long is not a good thing. Well, otherwise some people would have begun to ignore our law enforcement officers." She shook her head, set up her magic weapon and left.
At this time, Su Ziyan had already reached the street, and was going in and out of various shops as if nothing had happened.
It was not until the evening when Su Ziyan returned to the inn he rented. He sat cross-legged on the bed and thought with his head down.
Why did those two monks come to rob me and choose me?
After thinking for a long time, I finally came to the conclusion that it was the result of my own wealth leaking out.
From that moment on, he decided that he would never be so generous in the future, unless he encountered something he needed, then he would have to reveal it, otherwise it would bring himself a lot of trouble.
After that, he didn't think about anything else. He just sat cross-legged and started to replenish his magic power. He didn't know if there would be any trouble next, so it would be better to keep his magic power at its peak.
The next day, he woke up from his training and washed up.
He left the inn and went to where Qin Lan had set up her stall yesterday.
When he got there, Qin Lan hadn't come over yet, so he stood there waiting for Qin Lan. The monks passing by looked at him strangely.
But he didn't care about these. He was used to the cold stares he received when begging in the past, and now these curious looks were nothing.
More than an hour later, Qin Lan finally arrived. After seeing Su Ziyan, he immediately walked towards Su Ziyan.
When he came to Su Ziyan, he said in an embarrassed tone, "Friend Su, I'm sorry, I'm late. I kept you waiting for a long time."
Su Ziyan didn't care and waved his hand, "It's okay, Su didn't wait long, since you are here, let's start the transaction."
Qin Lan nodded, "Okay, let's get started."
Qin Lan immediately took out herbs from the storage bag, many of which were dry.
But some of them were so green and juicy, so he began to introduce them to Su Ziyan and mentioned a price.
Su Ziyan directly paid the spirit stones and collected the herbs.
After they finished the transaction, Su Ziyan asked Qin Lan, "Fellow Daoist Qin, is there any place with rich spiritual energy nearby? I want to open a cave there so that I can have a place to practice."
When Qin Lan heard Su Ziyan say this, she thought for a moment and then started talking to Su Ziyan. Her attitude was completely different from yesterday.
He told Su Ziyan that the places with spiritual veins nearby had been occupied by families and some independent cultivators, and it was difficult for ordinary cultivators to find a place with rich spiritual energy to practice.
Unless a cultivator with a higher level of cultivation can use his powerful strength to seize other people's caves, those with low levels of cultivation can only meditate and practice in places without spiritual energy.
Su Ziyan felt a little distressed when he heard this. He no longer considered these things.
With his current cultivation level, if he went there to seize those places with rich spiritual energy, he would die.
But Qin Lan's next words made Su Ziyan's heart move.
Qin Lan told him that the market town also took into consideration the fact that some cultivators would come here, and they were afraid that some cultivators would cause chaos by trying to seize the spiritual land, which would then be out of control.
So, three miles away from this market town, there is a mountain range with a pretty good spiritual vein, which has been developed into a place where caves can be rented.
If a cultivator comes here and has no place to stay, he can go there, but if he wants to rent a place there, he will need a lot of spirit stones.
After hearing this, Su Ziyan didn't care about the amount of spirit stones and asked Qin Lan about the location of that place.
With the spirit stones in his storage bag now, it can be said that even a Jindan stage cultivator's wealth is not as much as his.
But Su Ziyan didn't know that even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't compare to his wealth.
After he knew the address, he chatted with Qin Lan for a while, and this time he found out who Qin Lan was.
It turned out that he was a cultivator from the Huajing Sect, one of the four sects here. No wonder although the cultivators here thought his cultivation was not high, no one dared to provoke him.
Su Ziyan was just surprised for a moment and didn't care about his identity. He wasn't happy about knowing a cultivator from a sect, and they separated soon after.
After Su Ziyan went to the address given by Qin Lan, he was attracted by the scene in front of him.
He discovered that there were eight mountains that were almost a thousand feet high. He could vaguely see some caves at the foot of the mountains, which were covered by eight huge formations. In front of these mountains there was an entrance-like door, but it was also covered by a formation.
Now Su Ziyan was standing in front of a thatched hut in the mountains. There was a table on one side of the hut. An old man with white hair and wrinkles on his face was sitting cross-legged on a cushion behind the table with his eyes closed. There was nothing on the table.
Su Ziyan looked over and was surprised that he couldn't figure out the old man's cultivation level, but he knew that the old man in front of him was most likely a cultivator in the Condensation Vortex Stage.
But his expression did not fluctuate and he did not show anything.
Moreover, he knew that it was not strange that the person guarding here was a cultivator in the Condensation Stage. He would find it strange if the person guarding here was a cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage.
After all, if a cultivator sets his eyes on a place with spiritual veins like this, then if there are no cultivators with high cultivation levels to guard it, it would be easy for other cultivators to cause trouble here.
On the wall behind the old man hung a blueprint that was ten feet long and eight feet high. There were eight small mountain-shaped patterns on the blueprint, emitting a faint white light.
There were many spots of light in the hill, red and green. Several monks stood in front of the drawings, pointing and talking about something from time to time.
Su Ziyan just watched from the side. He did not go over to rent the cave directly, but observed from the side first.
Then a young female cultivator seemed to have made up her mind. She walked up to the old man sitting beside her and said, "Senior, I have already chosen a cave at the foot of the third peak."
When the old man heard the female cultivator's words, he slowly opened his eyes, and his cloudy eyes seemed to have no spirit at all.
He looked at the female cultivator and hummed, asking her to point out the cave she wanted to rent. Then he asked in a vicissitudes of life voice, "How long do you want to rent it for?"
The female cultivator thought for a moment and said respectfully, "Just rent it for three months."
The old man nodded and said, "One hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones."
When the female cultivator heard this, she took out a spirit stone from her storage bag and gave it to the old man. After the old man took the spirit stone, he gave the female cultivator two tokens and said, "One is the token for the formation outside the mountain, and the other is the token for the cave residence."
The female cultivator nodded lightly, took the token and went out.
After the female cultivator left, the old man pointed at the spot chosen by the female cultivator, and the originally green light spot immediately turned red.
Su Ziyan understood after seeing it. The green light spot meant that no cultivator had rented it yet, while the red light spot meant that a cultivator had already rented it.
After knowing this, Su Ziyan walked towards the drawings.
He walked to the drawing and looked at it, and found that many red dots were gathered at the top of the mountain, but there were very few at the foot of the mountain. He looked at it, made a decision, and walked towards the old man.
The old man saw Su Ziyan coming over and asked curiously, "Young friend, you have chosen the cave so quickly?"
He was also a little curious because he saw that the person in front of him didn't look at it for long, but how could he make the choice so quickly.
Su Ziyan bowed to the old man and said, "Senior, I wonder how the caves at the top and the bottom of the mountain are rented, and what are the differences?"
The old man smiled when he heard it and said, "You asked a good question, my friend. The main difference between the caves at the top of the mountain and at the foot of the mountain is the concentration of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy at the top of the mountain is much richer than that at the foot of the mountain, but the cost of the cave at the top of the mountain is much higher than that at the foot of the mountain."
After listening to this, Su Ziyan thought for a while and asked, "Which of these eight sacred mountains would be better and have more spiritual energy?"
The old man thought for a moment and said, "The best one is the one in the middle, which is the fifth one, because the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein is gathered in the middle, so the best one is the one in the middle."
"Then I wonder how to rent the cave house on the top of the middle peak, and how much spirit stones are required?"
The old man looked at the cave in the middle of the picture and found that there were three or four caves on it that were not rented. He said slowly, "The cave on the top of the mountain costs 100 spirit stones per month. Generally, the cultivators there are cultivators in the Condensation Vortex Stage. Ordinary cultivators do not have the financial resources to rent it. Do you have so many spirit stones?"
Su Ziyan did not think that the old man's question was a bit abrupt. Most cultivators like him had very few spirit stones and could not afford such high spirit stones.
I'm afraid that even a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi training wouldn't dare to live in such an expensive cave, unless he is a direct disciple of a family or sect and has the financial support of the sect family.
However, where their family sect is located, there is already a spiritual vein, so there is no need to look outside for a place with a spiritual vein.
The old man watched Su Ziyan fall into deep thought without urging him. He picked up the cup of spiritual tea on the table and took a sip.
Su Ziyan didn't think for long before he said to the old man, "Senior, I will rent the cave on the top of the middle mountain for a year."
The old man looked at Su Ziyan in surprise and said, "Young friend, are you sure you want to rent such an expensive cave? Could you be a direct descendant of a certain family?"
Su Ziyan just smiled and didn't tell the old man, but the more he said this, the more mysterious it became.
Seeing that Su Ziyan didn't say anything, the old man didn't ask any more questions. After all, everyone has their own secrets.
