Shangyuque

Chapter 17 Is this the spirit of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage?

In the afternoon, Yulou and Yu'an were having dinner, and Rongwen's family elder paid the bill.

The Red Lantern Hall of Merit is about to arrive, and there are more Foundation Establishment cultivators in Qingxifang. The clan leader is not here because he has gone to socialize with fellow Foundation Establishment cultivators.

What Yulou said is really true. None of us has become an immortal, so we don’t have the qualifications to live freely!
"It's delicious. What are you laughing at?"

Wang Rongwen noticed that Yu'an was not in a good state.

It's like you sneaking out of the house and going to the Internet cafe to play games all night. You think you are pretending well, but your dad can see through it at a glance - he did the same thing when he was young!

"Hehe, the clan leader gave me a foundation-building stage Baili Xiaoyao escape talisman today. Father, do you have this?"

Yu'an was young at heart after all, so he took out his new treasure and started showing it off to his parents.

At first, Mr. Rong Wen didn't notice anything wrong, but his wife Chen Luwan frowned.

"These are talismans that only the Qigong practitioners in our clan have. The clan leader brought them here this time to exchange them for merits in the Red Lantern Merit Hall. How did they end up in your hands?"

She was an outsider of the Wang family who married into the main lineage and was in charge of talisman-making within the Wang family. Therefore, she was very familiar with the few remaining Baili Xiaoyao Escape Talismans in the clan leader's hands.

All the Baili Xiaoyao Escape Talismans in the clan were taken out by the clan leader this time, ready to be exchanged for merits, and should not have fallen into Yu'an's hands.

He was only at the second level of Qi Induction and was still in the safe Qingxifang. Why would he need the Baili Xiaoyao Escape Talisman of the Foundation Establishment Stage?

"Today the clan leader asked me and my brother a question. If we answered well, he will reward us with one. If you don't believe me, you can ask the clan leader."

Yu'an said aggrievedly.

"Jade Tower?"

Of course it was impossible to ask the clan leader, so Chen Luwan looked at Yulou in a gentle voice.

Compared to her own unreliable son, she trusts the mature and steady Yulou more.

"Yu'an is right. The clan leader did ask us questions. Today..."

After listening to Yulou's story, Chen Luwan dispelled her doubts, but she sighed and said.

“Those independent cultivators are indeed pitiful people. My father and Yu’an’s grandfather were also independent cultivators in the past. They suffered a lot of neglect and indifference for the sake of some resources for cultivation.

Later, because of his success in making talismans, he joined the Wang family as a guest official of a foreign surname, and his situation improved slightly. "

Yulou thought for a moment, looked at Uncle Rongwen, and said.

"Uncle, I have an immature idea, I don't know if it's appropriate."

Wang Rongwen put down his chopsticks in surprise, looked at his wife, and they looked at each other in surprise.

What does this kid want to say?
he asked tentatively.

"What do you think?"

“Those independent cultivators actually have spiritual stones, but the cost of accommodation in Qingxifang has risen too much recently. Even the rent for courtyards without spiritual energy supply has increased a lot.

I was thinking, why don’t we divide the room in Fuyuanju into small rooms and rent them to them?

As long as the separated small rooms are small enough, the room rate can be much lower.

Under the premise that the supply of spiritual energy can be guaranteed and the room rate is a little lower, independent cultivators will definitely not be willing to sleep on the streets.

That is neither safe nor decent, and it is impossible to practice meditation."

No cheap rooms?

Then go to the cage house!
There are more and more independent cultivators in Qingxifang these days. Yulou actually had this idea a long time ago, but he was a little wary of Tang Nianqiu, so he didn't mention it to Old Tang. After all, the chief manager seemed very suspicious in terms of drawing a salary without doing anything.

The courtyards in Qingxifang that don't have spiritual wells now charge three spiritual stones per month for room, so casual cultivators naturally don't want to live there.

But Fuyuanju is different. There is a spiritual well here that leads directly to Qinyun Qingxi River. Although the well water is not the same as the clear stream water, this spiritual well can bring spiritual energy to Fuyuanju.

Therefore, it would be much easier for tenants to practice cultivation when living in Fuyuanju.

During the air induction period, the daily air induction limit can be reached quickly.

Those in the Qi Refining Stage can make full use of the abundant spiritual energy to practice vigorously.

"It sounds feasible, but Fuyuanju is already full, so it's hard to do it recently."

Chen Luwan was a meticulous person. She realized that Yulou's suggestion was feasible, but it was difficult to implement recently. If she waited until the tenants left before renovating, she would not be able to make it in time.

"What's so difficult about this? The clan leader is proficient in wood magic. When he comes back, he can build a wooden building in the backyard of Fuyuanju in an instant. It's just that the transmission of spiritual energy is a bit troublesome, and we need to re-arrange the formation."

Wang Rongwen's eyes lit up as he realized that Yulou's suggestion was groundbreaking.

A small room that is cheap, safe, and has a supply of spiritual energy is what casual cultivators need!

"Is the formation complicated?" Yulou asked.

"Yes, it would be great if Rong Yuan was here. He is proficient in formations." The elder of the Rong Wen family sighed.

Yulou was a little confused - could it be that Wang Xianmao, who was in the foundation-building stage, didn't understand the formation?
"This is just my immature idea. When the clan leader comes back, let him make the decision."

Yulou smiled and put the blame on himself. The world of immortal cultivation was fundamentally different from the mundane world of his previous life. Many things could not be simply copied.

"Immature? No problem, it's good enough to see this opportunity.

We will report to the clan leader together then. Yu'an, learn from your brother!"

"hold head high"

Yu'an replied glumly.
-
After Wang Xianmao returned to Fuyuanju, Yulou and Wang Rongwen immediately reported their ideas to him.

“Of course, the spirit stones of independent cultivators are also spirit stones, and are no less valuable than other spirit stones.

Since you can think of this possibility, of course I am willing to give it a try. Regardless of whether it will succeed or not, it will just consume some spiritual energy.

Let’s go to the backyard and take a look now!”

After returning from a social event, Wang Xianmao realized that this was a good opportunity after listening to Yulou's suggestion.

Even if a small room like this only charges two spirit stones per month, as long as more are sold, a large sum of money can be made in the long run.

"So fast?"

Wang Rongwen and Tang Nianqiu were both a little surprised. It was really that Wang Xianmao's execution ability was too strong.

"The Red Lantern's Merit Hall will stay for three months. The sooner it is built, the sooner you can earn spirit stones!"

Wang Xianmao earns spirit stones without any hesitation and does not have the airs of a cultivator in the foundation-building stage.

It's not easy to be the head of a family, but don't you have to work hard to generate income?
He led everyone to the backyard, looked at the rooms on both sides, and asked.

"Are all the six rooms occupied?"

"Yulou and his family live in one room, and three rooms are used as warehouses. The remaining two rooms have been kept. Our Wang family can live in them for free when they come."

Tang Nianqiu replied quickly.

"Um"

Wang Xianmao touched his chin and roughly scanned with his spiritual sense, and then he understood what was going on.

This cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage simply raised his hand lightly and offered up a set of formation flags.

"The man surnamed Jiang is in charge of the formation in Qingxifang. He is preventing the cultivators in the foundation-building stage from using their magic power in Qingxifang. I need the formation to block it first before I can operate."

After the formation flags surrounded the entire backyard, Wang Xianmao gave instructions.

"Get behind me."

Everyone quickly stepped back, and seeing that they were all standing behind him, Wang Xianmao found it easier to operate.

He squatted down lightly, pressing the ground with one hand, as if he was going to start "building a building" directly.

Yulou was a little surprised.

No drawings, no feasibility studies, no surveying and mapping, no environmental impact assessment, no licenses, and no safety officers are needed.

Just tap your forehead to think of a strategy, and then press the ground with one hand to start working.

Is this the spirit of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage?
