Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 159 Arrangements in Nalan City
The various races of the Endless Sea have quelled the crisis posed by the demons and returned to the battle to rebuild their homes. Cities previously destroyed by the demons need to be rebuilt as quickly as possible to restore their former glory. All races have suffered heavy casualties, and now is the time for recuperation. For a long period to come, the Endless Sea will conserve its strength, awaiting the opportunity to advance its realm and usher in a glorious era.

Hai Liang returned to the underwater city with the sea tribe, and the other tribes also returned to their respective cities to rebuild their homes. Qin Lei and his group also returned to Xiaoyao City! There's a pressing need to rebuild their homes as soon as possible. Developing and strengthening the human race also requires the swift reconstruction of the Lan family mansion.

To ensure the Lan family's continued growth, Lan Tian established a teleportation array in the Lan Mansion of Xiaoyao City, directly connecting to Nalan City on the Blue Card Continent. This allowed for easy travel to the Blue Card Continent, but the array remained a secret known only to the Lan family and other races. Now that the energy tower of Sky City has returned, constructing such a long-distance teleportation array is effortless. The Lan family's residence in Xiaoyao City has become the dominant force among humans, their power and influence resounding throughout the land.

After everything was arranged, Lan Tian would return to the Blue Card Continent to continue his cultivation. Hai Liang and Cao Yuqing would also return with Lan Tian; they urgently needed to improve their cultivation and advance their ranks. Cultivating on the Holy Mountain was the best option for them at the moment.

In an instant, the Holy Mountain transported Lan Tian and his companions back. They reappeared at the Holy Mountain's cultivation grounds. More than a month had passed since their trip; time had flown by. Yi Mengying and the others cultivating on the Holy Mountain had made considerable progress, and now Hai Liang and Cao Yuqing needed to intensify their cultivation to improve their levels as quickly as possible.

Since first entering the Holy Mountain, Lan Tian had not seen his master Zhao Qingyun for a long time! In order to understand the current situation of the Blue Card Continent and to ask his master some questions, Lan Tian thought that he had to go back to Nalan City and establish a foothold for the Lan family there for the future of the Lan family.

Lan Tian left without saying goodbye and returned to Nalan City. Even after so long, Nalan City remained unchanged, still as prosperous, bustling, and vibrant as ever.

Lan Tian strolled through the streets, searching for a suitable residence. This was the main city of the Yi family, but Lan Tian didn't want to disturb them or trouble his master. He decided to keep an eye out for a mansion in the city to serve as a foothold for the Lan family.

Persistence pays off. Lan Tian found an official residence for sale in Nalan City. It was located next to a dense forest and a huge mountain range. The place was very quiet, surrounded by the courtyards of wealthy people, suitable for cultivation, which was exactly the kind of place Lan Tian wanted. Although it wasn't very spacious and the place was a bit small, it was more than enough! It wouldn't be too conspicuous. This was a very old mansion, clearly neglected for a long time, with signs of decay visible from the outside.

Just as Lan Tian was about to knock on the door, it suddenly swung open, and a down-on-his-luck young man walked out. He was covered in dust, as if he had just woken up, and had messy hair, as if he had some urgent business to attend to.

"Hello, is your house for sale?" Lan Tian asked the other party directly and to the point.

"Um, do you want it?" The other person looked Lan Tian up and down and replied.

"May I go in and take a look? If I like it, I'll buy it. What do you think?"

"Alright, alright, please come in with me, let me introduce you." The other party suddenly became very polite and invited Lan Tian into the mansion.

Sure enough, this was an old house that hadn't been properly maintained for a long time. It was dilapidated and overgrown with weeds. However, the building was still magnificent. It must have once belonged to a wealthy and cultured family. I wonder why they had fallen to such a state.

Lan Tian said, "This is your ancestral home, right? Why are you selling it?"

"Yes, this is my family's old house, which has been passed down for thousands of years. I wouldn't have sold it if I didn't need the money urgently. These are all antiques, passed down from ancient times. If I become successful in the future, I will definitely redeem them. Please forgive me then and give me a chance to redeem them."

"Let me see if this is what I need before I say anything!" Lan Tian could tell that this person was in a hurry to sell, there must be some urgent matter, and he looked like a playboy and a spendthrift. He was just talking and talking, how could he possibly have the ability to redeem it?

The courtyard is quite nice and large, but it has been neglected for a long time and is dilapidated. With proper care, it could be a decent mansion.

"Your house deed is available. How much are you offering?" Lan Tian asked.

"Yes, yes, yes, as long as you pay, I can give you the deed right now, and this place will be yours! It only costs 70 million blue crystals."

"What? Seventy million blue crystal coins!" Lan Tian immediately feigned surprise upon hearing this, though deep down he thought the price was already very cheap.

"Oh, oh, oh! I can tell this young master knows his stuff. It's already incredibly cheap! I can't go any lower. I wouldn't sell it unless I urgently needed the money." The other party hesitated a bit, seeing Lan Tian's expression, afraid that Lan Tian wouldn't buy it because he thought it was too expensive.

"Your place is too dilapidated, it's not worth the price," Lan Tian said deliberately. "If you really want it, I can lower the price,"

"I can only give you fifty million."

"Ah! No, this is far too little! This is an ancient house that has been passed down from my family since ancient times."

"This is the price I can offer you. It's too run-down; I don't even want to live here."

"Alright, alright, sixty-five million is the lowest you can go."

"Fifty-five million."

"Sixty million, that's the most we can go."

This might be the final price, and it's a very good deal to buy this old house at this price, so Lan Tian stopped haggling with him and pretended to be at a disadvantage.

"Alright, cash on delivery, all settled. I really got ripped off, this place is too old," Lan Tian said.

"Alright, alright, cash on delivery, here's my deed." Afraid that Lan Tian would change her mind, he hurriedly took out the deed and was about to give it to Lan Tian.

It was clear the other party was eager to sell, so Lan Tian didn't press the matter. He took out a bag of blue crystal coins from his time-space ring, totaling seventy million blue crystal coins. He gave the other party sixty million and kept ten million, putting it back into his time-space ring.

The other party's eyes widened at the sight of so many blue crystal coins. He had been trying to sell this old house for a long time without success, and he was overjoyed to finally sell it for this price. He finally had money and could redeem his beauty!

He handed the property deed to Lan Tian, ​​who wrote a receipt and signed it. With the transaction complete, he rushed off impatiently.

"This place is yours!"

He disappeared in a flash, leaving Lan Tian stunned. He was such a anxious person.

Lan Tian wandered around for a while, then selected a room in the backyard and set up a remote teleportation array to connect this place with the teleportation array of the Lan family's mansion in Xiaoyao City.

After doing all this, Lan Tian closed the gate of the mansion, activated the teleportation array connecting to the Endless Sea, and in a flash, Lan Tian appeared in the Lan Mansion in Xiaoyao City.

Lan Tian's return from the spacetime teleportation array greatly surprised Qin Lei and the others, as this place was truly connected to the Blue Card Continent. From now on, the Lan family could freely travel between the Endless Sea and the Blue Card Continent.

Qin Lei arranged for Xiao Weiqing to lead some of the Lan family servants to guard this old house in Nalan City, change its appearance, turn it into the Lan family mansion, and renovate it. As a result, the young masters and young ladies of the Lan family all came here. The cultivation environment here is much better than the Endless Sea. There is no suppression of rank, so their cultivation progresses much faster.

With everything in Nalan City handed over to Xiao Weiqing, Lan Tian prepared to go to the Spirit Hall to find his master, Zhao Qingyun.
