Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 404: Chapter 402: Renting the Vacant Lot

After leaving the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin Statue, Gu Xi was about to head back when an owl landed on his hand.

Gu Xi looked up at the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin and found that Guanyin paid him no mind, causing a faint smile to appear on his face.

This Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin is truly bound by rules. As long as there’s no attack, even if some extraordinary power is used under her watchful eyes, she won’t launch an attack.

What made Xia Yi act on impulse back then to attack the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin Statue?

Gu Xi tilted his face, striving not to look at the Life-taking Stone above, and quickly left the area.

During his departure from the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin Statue, Gu Xi had already read the letter brought by the owl.

The letter was from Luna, who informed Gu Xi that Maple Leaf Park has already been integrated into Yalidu City, specifically into the Magic Plant District.

This integration was quite successful, with the most important outcome being Yalidov obtained something valuable.

Moreover, Luna received all the supplies and information Gu Xi sent back.

The anchor point at the new house, Luna has already gone to arrange it.

It’s believed that it won’t take long for the anchor point to be established.

Looking at the letter from Luna, Gu Xi felt a strong urge to return to Yalidov and take a look.

Ultimately, Gu Xi suppressed this urge; he wanted first to confirm the position where he could attack the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin Statue.

If he missed this spot, who knows when he’d find such a good location again.

So Gu Xi didn’t rush back to the city. Instead, he meticulously calculated every detail here.

Such as how far the open space he had his eye on was from the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin, and whether there were any tall objects in between that might obstruct the view or something else.

Gu Xi had only one chance and couldn’t afford any issues affecting his attack.

By the time Gu Xi had measured all the details clearly, it was already close to 4 pm.

If he delayed any longer, it would be dark.

At this point, Mr. Baishi finally arrived.

Upon seeing Gu Xi, he immediately bowed ninety degrees.

”Gu Sang, my utmost apologies.”

”What’s wrong? Are they not planning to rent?”

”No, Gu Sang. They said they could only rent it out for half a month, and because the rental period is short, you’re not allowed to construct anything on the open space.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi let out an ”oh.”

Half a month is certainly sufficient.

In fact, he only needed three days.

However, Gu Xi wasn’t a fool, ”If that’s the case, then the price isn’t as we discussed earlier.”

”That’s reasonable. I’ve already discussed it with them. Now, for just two hundred thousand yuan, you can rent the space for fifteen days, and we can sign the contract now.”

Mr. Baishi said this as he took out the contract.

Gu Xi glanced at the contract and found it more detailed than a house purchase contract.

The contract stated that the surface area of land was 60 square meters, including ten meters high into the sky and ten meters deep into the earth, all belonging to the landowner; Gu Xi only rented the ground surface space.

So he wasn’t allowed to dig downward, and if Gu Xi wanted to build, construction could only start from ten meters above the ground.

Reviewing such a contract, Gu Xi looked at Mr. Baishi.

”Mr. Baishi, is this contract a joke?”

”Not at all. That’s exactly what they said, and that’s their requirement. Even I am powerless in this matter.”

Faced with such a situation, Gu Xi was also left speechless. However, fortunately, Gu Xi rented the open space not for its utility but because its proximity to the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin Statue made it ideal.

Perfect for Gu Xi’s setup.

If not for the unsuitability of other places, Gu Xi would have already ignored these issues.

Although the contract seemed odd, there were no issues with the clauses.

Gu Xi noticed it was getting late and didn’t hesitate, straightforwardly renting the space.

The time for rental started from today.

During the fifteen days his rent was active, the original owner of the land wouldn’t be allowed to enter the space.

After handing over the contract and everything else to Gu Xi, Mr. Baishi turned and left.

Along with the contract came a notice.

This was because the open space had no door, allowing normal access for anyone; hence, Gu Xi needed to post a notice here to keep people from entering the area during the fifteen days.

Whether this notice would work depended on Gu Xi himself.

If he wanted to place some guards, the notice would be effective.

Currently, Gu Xi had no such thoughts. Once he rented the space, at least half of his main concern was alleviated.

After Mr. Baishi left, the first thing Gu Xi did was return to Yalidu City.

Upon entering Yalidu City, Gu Xi noticed something seemed amiss in the atmosphere.

He glanced up at the sky and discovered a turquoise cloud covering the sky.

”Luna, what is happening?”

The moment he entered the city, Luna appeared beside Gu Xi. Upon hearing his question, Luna immediately began explaining.

”That Maple Leaf Park integrated just now is a treasure. When it was integrated, a big tree suddenly sprouted in the Magic Plant District. You should hurry to see it now.”

Seeing Luna’s excited expression, Gu Xi knew everything centered around that tree.

As a result, Gu Xi immediately leaped onto the Evil Coffin, heading towards the Magic Plant District.

While Gu Xi hurried, Luna explained the current situation to him.

The land titles Gu Xi obtained last night have all been integrated.

However, Yalidu City’s Assembly Hall is progressing at the current pace, with no possibility of speeding up -- all construction requires queuing.

Even special buildings cannot cut in line.

The holdup in constructing that special building wasn’t because Luna didn’t want it built, but because there was currently no location to place it.

Yalidu City only recently opened a satellite city area, the Mysterious Mirror Image Space.

All external lands belong to Yalidu City’s territories, so Luna saw no need to waste such a prime special building here.

Thus, Luna’s plan remained unchanged, with the last few days dedicated to handling Di Mi’s requested buildings.

After all, with a level 3 Building Stone in Gu Xi’s possession, the Alchemy Laboratory’s needs could be met; the only remaining requirements were the two buildings on the Ghost’s side.

Luna estimated they could complete all prerequisite conditions for Di Mi’s required three buildings in the final three days of the White Training Grand Ceremony.

When it came to the three buildings, using the Building Stone would suffice.

In other words, Di Mi might participate in the final grand battle.
