Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 258: Chapter 160 Enter Yunlai City to Avoid Disaster, Disaster Center_2

”Move into Yunlai City?”

Upon hearing this, Su Weiwei blinked her beautiful eyes, she didn’t expect her husband to make such a decision.

Previously, they lived in the shantytown purely out of concern for the Wu family’s retaliation.

But things are different now; her husband has become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

In addition, the Wu family is now in turmoil.

Even if the Wu family were to discover their true identity, there isn’t much they could do.

So moving into Yunlai City is indeed a good choice.

......

Another day passed.

Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei first rested for a night in their original house, then entered Yunlai City the next day, and went straight to the property management office.

The steward in charge there is named Shi Zhengrui, a Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivator.

”Oh, I didn’t expect anyone to dare to rent a house in Yunlai City now.”

”You are lucky.”

”If it were before the Lingxi Secret Realm appeared, it would’ve been hard to find even a single house.”

”Even if you had Spirit Stones, you might not have been able to rent one.”

”But now, you can choose as you please.”

Shi Zhengrui looked at Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei with a smile.

He scrutinized the two of them, as if trying to discern their identities and backgrounds.

”Why is this happening? Are there a lot of vacant houses in Yunlai City now?”

Jiang Fan curiously asked.

”Do you even need to ask?”

”It’s naturally because of the Lingxi Secret Realm.”

”Originally, there were many loose cultivators living in Yunlai City.”

”But they entered the Lingxi Secret Realm in pursuit of Foundation Establishment opportunities.”

”But the result is as expected; Foundation Establishment opportunities aren’t that easy to acquire.”

”Most of these loose cultivators perished in the Lingxi Secret Realm.”

”So these houses naturally became vacant.”

Shi Zhengrui said matter-of-factly.

If it weren’t for the opening of the Lingxi Secret Realm, Yunlai City would probably still be overcrowded.

But due to the emergence of the Secret Realm World, a large number of loose cultivators ventured into the realm for Foundation Establishment.

Thus, a large number of houses in Yunlai City became vacant instead.

This also gave some weaker loose cultivators a chance to move into Yunlai City.

In a sense, it’s like a whale falls, and myriad beings thrive.

”Is the Lingxi Secret Realm really that perilous? So many cultivators died?”

Jiang Fan asked curiously.

Although he and Su Weiwei stayed in the Lingxi Secret Realm for a month and knew that the fighting inside was intense with heavy casualties, they hadn’t actually witnessed many battle scenes.

So he was unaware of the specific losses.

”Of course it’s perilous; do you think Foundation Establishment opportunities are easy to acquire?”

”According to those cultivators who entered the Lingxi Secret Realm, the Secret Realm World indeed has abundant Spirit Medicines.”

”But these Spirit Medicines are guarded by Demon Beasts.”

”The more precious the Spirit Medicine, the stronger the guarding Demon Beasts.”

”To seize the Spirit Medicines, you have to fight these Demon Beasts.”

”The problem is, those Demon Beasts are too strong; Tier One Demon Beasts are everywhere, and there are even Tier Two and Tier Three Demon Beasts.”

”It is said that the true disciples Zheng Hao and others from the Five Elements Pill Sect died in the Lingxi Secret Realm, reportedly being chased and killed by Tier Two Demon Beasts.”

”Even the true disciples of a Golden Core Sect ended like this, not to mention other loose cultivators.”

Shi Zhengrui said with a hint of schadenfreude.

To be honest, he was afraid of the dangers in the Lingxi Secret Realm, so he didn’t dare to venture inside.

Now hearing about the heavy casualties of those who entered the Secret Realm World, he felt grateful for his decision, thinking he might have ended up as just another corpse otherwise.

”It’s not just the dangers inside the Lingxi Secret Realm.”

”Exiting the Lingxi Secret Realm is even more dangerous.”

”It is said that some Tribulation Cultivators hide near the Secret Realm exits, specifically to rob those cultivators with significant gains.”

”Yesterday, when the Lingxi Secret Realm just closed, the battle near the Secret Realm World was simply inhumane.”

”Even Foundation Establishment Cultivators made moves.”

”Even if you managed to get Spirit Medicines with great effort, you might not have lived to leave.”

Some cultivators nearby were discussing and describing the tragic events that occurred at the Lingxi Secret Realm yesterday.

Hearing this, Su Weiwei was also secretly relieved. Fortunately, she and her husband left through the second exit. If it were the first, they might also have been targeted by Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

What might have happened then is hard to say.

”Indeed, those loose cultivators thought the reopening of the Lingxi Secret Realm this time, without our Yunlai City to guard, would yield more gains, not knowing it became even more perilous.”

”Because without us coordinating the various forces in Yunlai City, the conflicts among cultivators turned more intense.”

”The fight for Foundation Establishment opportunities this time resulted in at least several times more casualties than the last time.”

Shi Zhengrui sneered.

If it weren’t for a Golden Core Zhenren eyeing Yunlai City, they wouldn’t have forgone this Secret Realm opportunity.

After all, the Lingxi Secret Realm opens once every fifty years.

For Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Miss it this time, and there might not be a next.

Thus, one can imagine how much Yunlai City’s forces regret missing the opportunity.

But there’s nothing they could do to protect their foundation.

Had it not been for the caution of Deputy City Lord Miao Heyan, Yunlai City might have already been taken over by Daoist Fei Lian.

”Enough, enough, let’s not talk about these trivial matters.”

”I wonder which type of house you want to rent.”

”There are good and bad ones; the bad ones are one hundred Spirit Stones a year, while the good ones require five hundred Spirit Stones.”

”Of course, the better the house, the richer the Spiritual Qi and the larger the space.”

Shi Zhengrui waved his hand, looking at Jiang Fan.

”I want a better house.”

Jiang Fan didn’t hesitate, saying directly.

After all, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, living in a better house is only right.

However, he concealed his Foundation Establishment cultivation, only revealing his Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation aura.

But even so, it was still within a reasonable range.

”Looks like we have a rich one here.”

”In that case, I’ll find you a good spot.”

Shi Zhengrui felt quite satisfied.

Because as a steward, he could also get a bit of profit from this.

It didn’t take long before he took Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei to look at houses.

Of course, the houses were located in Yunlai City’s Outer City District. The Inner City District was occupied by Foundation Establishment Cultivators; it housed Foundation Establishment Clans and had the most abundant Spiritual Qi.

Ordinary loose cultivators could only reside in the Outer City District.

However, the closer the area to the Inner City District, the richer the Spiritual Qi.

Shi Zhengrui took Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei to the area closest to the Inner City District.

This place was constructed with numerous courtyards.

Each courtyard covered at least a thousand square meters.

And they were seven to eight meters apart from each other, ensuring privacy.

Originally, these courtyards were fully occupied by cultivators.

But now, at least over half of them are vacant and can be freely chosen.

”Not bad, this one.”

Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei immediately chose one of the well-decorated courtyards.

Then they signed and sealed the deal with Steward Shi Zhengrui, paid five hundred Spirit Stones, and settled down.

......

In the blink of an eye, two or three days passed.

Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei were fully settled in Yunlai City.

It must be said, it truly lived up to being a city residence.

Compared to the shantytown, it’s countless times better.

Firstly, safety; fewer cultivators around than in the shantytown, which was a mixed bag, so there’s less worry about banditry.

Moreover, the streets are patrolled by Yunlai City’s Patrol Guards.

If anything happens, you can immediately call on the Patrol Guards for help.

Secondly, the cultivation environment.

Although this house is in the Outer City District, the concentration of Spiritual Qi is vastly superior to that of the shantytown.

It’s equivalent to the level of a Tier One Spirit Vein.

Training here would increase cultivation efficiency several times over.

For a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it might not be much, but for a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator, it is a blessed place.

No wonder so many loose cultivators were willing to spend so many Spirit Stones to rent a place in Yunlai City.

Even then, the houses in Yunlai City were in high demand.

If it weren’t for the appearance of the Lingxi Secret Realm, resulting in the death of many loose cultivators, these houses might not have been freed up.

This also proves the prosperity of the Independent Cultivator Immortal City.

”Hmm?!”

”Someone is watching us?!”

”Who could it be?”

Initially, Jiang Fan thought he could peacefully cultivate in Yunlai City for some time, but he soon noticed that someone seemed to be watching him from outside his residence.

Though the other’s concealment methods were advanced, they couldn’t escape his notice.

This made his expression suddenly turn grim.
