Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 279: Chapter 170: Renting a Tier Two Spirit Vein, Encountering a Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivator

”I see.”

Upon hearing the explanation of the Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace, Jiang Fan immediately understood.

Unlike the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, the resources in this area are exponentially richer.

Tier Two and Tier Three Spirit Veins are everywhere.

The Profound Celestial Sword Sect even occupies a Tier Four Spirit Vein.

And this territory ruled by the Nascent Soul Sect spans over a million kilometers.

Yet they are short-handed.

The majority of the area is actually ownerless land.

There is no way to fully develop it.

So, to maximize profit, the Profound Celestial Sword Sect naturally decided to rent these Tier Two Spirit Veins to Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators, Foundation Establishment Clans, and so on, while the Profound Celestial Sword Sect only needs to collect rent annually.

In a sense, the Profound Celestial Sword Sect is the largest landlord in this region.

Everyone needs to pay taxes and rent to them.

Of course, for Jiang Fan, this is definitely great.

He is not afraid of the high rent of Tier Two Spirit Veins, just that there might not be any available to rent.

”Where is Xuanjian City located then?”

Jiang Fan inquired.

”If I remember correctly, it’s actually not far from the Green River Market.”

”At most, it’s just a few hundred kilometers away.”

”At your speed, you could reach it within a day.”

The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace thought for a moment and then directly gave an answer.

”Hmm.”

Jiang Fan nodded and immediately made a decision.

......

A day later.

Based on the information given by the Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace and other cultivators’ intelligence, Jiang Fan, along with Su Weiwei, flew all the way and soon arrived at this Nascent Soul City—Xuanjian City.

Upon reaching Xuanjian City, Jiang Fan was quite emotional, only being able to say that it truly deserves to be called the Nascent Soul City.

Compared to Yunlai City, it’s exponentially larger, at least dozens of times more so.

It can also accommodate a large number of cultivators.

More importantly, the cultivation levels of the cultivators in Xuanjian City are quite high.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators are everywhere, and one can occasionally see a Golden Core Zhenren.

Even among Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivators, many are in the Late-stage Qi Cultivation.

Of course, Nascent Soul Cultivators are still very rare.

Once reaching this level, they are the ancestors of a certain power and rarely appear in front of ordinary cultivators.

Even within the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, there aren’t many Nascent Soul Ancestors.

”Husband, the prices here are cheap, but the rent is too high.”

After strolling around Xuanjian City and learning about the prices there, Su Weiwei said.

Clearly, compared to Yunlai City, the low-tier cultivation resources here are still very affordable.

For example, Tier One Talismans, Tier One Elixirs, Tier One Magical Artifacts, etc., are at least half the price compared to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

The reason for such a situation.

Is because there are so many low-tier cultivators that it’s a highly competitive environment.

A large number of low-tier Rune Masters and low-tier Alchemists appear here.

If they want to sell their items, they naturally have to sell at a lower price.

So for Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivators, this place is practically a paradise.

Purchasing power has at least doubled.

The problem is, the rent here is very high.

To live in Xuanjian City, it often requires several hundred to over a thousand spirit stones a year.

If it’s some cave dwelling close to the inner city, it might even require several thousand spirit stones a year.

It’s equivalent to being as valuable as gold, something ordinary loose cultivators can’t afford to dream of.

Even staying in an inn for a night costs over a dozen spirit stones.

So if loose cultivators come to Xuanjian City, they usually don’t stay overnight; they quickly leave after buying the resources they need, otherwise, they’d spend a lot of unnecessary money.

”There’s no way around it. This is a Nascent Soul City.”

”With so many cultivators living here, of course, land is as valuable as gold.”

”However, I don’t plan to live here; instead, I want to rent a Tier Two Spirit Vein.”

”This way, it’s not only much cheaper but the rental area is also large.”

Jiang Fan said.

In fact, many Foundation Establishment Cultivators are willing to spend more to live in Xuanjian City instead of renting a Tier Two Spirit Vein.

After all, staying in Xuanjian City is very convenient.

You can buy all kinds of elixirs, spirit medicines, and talismans as soon as you step outside.

You can also communicate with many fellow cultivators.

But if you rent a Tier Two Spirit Vein, you’ll definitely be living in the wilderness.

Not only is safety not guaranteed, but obtaining resources is not very convenient either.

If you want to buy Foundation Establishment resources, you might have to travel dozens or even hundreds of kilometers to reach Xuanjian City.

The only advantage is the large rental area and the freedom, without needing to worry about neighbors.

Because of this, plenty of Foundation Establishment Cultivators have rented houses in Xuanjian City, causing the rent here to skyrocket.

It’s somewhat like the apartments in the city and rural houses in the suburbs from previous lifetimes.

In short, different cultivators have different choices; it all depends on personal needs.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

Soon, Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei arrived at a place specialized in rental matters in Xuanjian City.

To greet them was Steward Lang Zhenquan, a Later-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He looked to be at least one or two hundred years old.

”Oh, you want to rent a Tier Two Spirit Vein?”

”The cost is not cheap, you know; it requires five thousand spirit stones every year.”

”Moreover, the Tier Two Spirit Vein is located in the wilderness, not as safe as Xuanjian City.”

”Are you still sure about renting?”

Steward Lang Zhenquan asked.

Recently, due to demon cultivators rampaging, many cultivators have fallen.

Some Foundation Establishment Cultivators were so frightened that they abandoned their original cave dwellings and hid inside Xuanjian City.

After all, in such a Nascent Soul City, safety is still assured.

At least the ruthless demon cultivators dare not invade Xuanjian City recklessly.

But if it’s in the wilderness, the situation is different.
