In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 238 Only I Feel the Most Sorry for Brother Su Yuan! (Please Subscribe!)

Three hours flew by.

The sword boat sped across the boundless blue sea, and the entire view of the Ten Immortal Cities gradually appeared before Su Yuan and the others.

Although surrounded by the sea, Shixian City is not an island city.

Because it is a city suspended three thousand meters above the sea.

According to the information Su Yuan had checked before leaving, the land area of ​​Shixian City is as high as 20,000 square kilometers, with a permanent population of nearly 30 million.

The sword boat flew at an altitude of 10,000 meters. When it approached the Ten Immortals City, looking down from above, a city in the sky that looked like a Ferris wheel lying down appeared in front of them.

The frame of the "Ferris wheel" occupies more than 60% of the area of ​​Shixian City, and the city's main road extends from the center to the ten semi-independent "cabins" like a spider web.

Those ten so-called cabins are the university campuses of the ten immortal sects.

Students have seen the City of Ten Immortals countless times through their mobile phones, computers, and posters.

But when they saw this beautiful city with their own eyes, which was like a work of art, they couldn't help but be amazed.

Generally speaking, the most prosperous part of a city should be its center, while the area closer to the periphery needs more development.

But the Ten Immortals City is different; it has ten cores, and the central area of ​​each core is the most developed place.

For example, the area around Wanbaolou University Town is filled with the headquarters of financial and shopping mall-related sects.

For example, the area around the university town of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Sect is full of sect headquarters for beast taming and breeding, as well as breeding bases for top-level spirit beasts.

While the city center is undeniably bustling, it is predominantly residential and living areas.

Traveling at ten times the speed of sound, in just a few breaths, the once distant Ten Immortals City rapidly expanded to an enormous size, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Tai Baiji found a port near the Zhuxie University City and had the sword boat slowly land.

"I've already spoken to a reliable rental company nearby. Everyone can rent for three months first, and then move into the university dormitory after the semester starts."

As Tai Baiji spoke, he sent the address and contact information of the rental company to the group chat, and then said:

"My daughter and I are going to the Exorcism University now. If you need anything, you can contact me in the group."

After saying this, he prepared to let the students disembark and then left.

But just then, a dissenting voice rang out from the audience:

"Dad, what's so fun about Zhuxie University? You can go back by yourself. I want to play with Brother Su Yuan for the next three months."

Tai Baiji's expression froze.

He looked down at his daughter and saw the white-haired little girl holding Su Yuan's hand tightly, her little face resolute, looking as if no one could persuade her otherwise.

The old father's heart clenched painfully.

Just as he was about to say something, trying to persuade his daughter to come back, Taibai Yuxi spoke first:
"Anyway, you'll be in seclusion at the Demon Extermination University, and you'll definitely leave me with a few aunties in the department. It's better to be with Brother Su Yuan than with them."

Taibai Baiji was speechless for a moment.

He took a few deep breaths, looked at Su Yuan with a cold face, and asked through gritted teeth:
"Su Yuan, what do you think?"

Su Yuan: "..."

What else can I do?
We can't just drive Taibai Yuxi away.

When the White Emperor's Immortal Body goes berserk, it's deadly!

"Ahem, I think it all depends on Yu Xi's wishes."

Su Yuan forced himself to speak:

“You are my mentor, and Yuxi and I are like family... It’s no problem for me to take care of her for a summer vacation.”

Taibai Tianji sighed inwardly, knowing that the situation was beyond saving.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, glanced at the students with different expressions, and then pointed at Chen Nuoyi.

"Xiao Chen, you better keep a close eye on him."

Chen Nuoyi paused slightly, then said cautiously:
"Teacher, Su Yuan should have no problem taking care of the children."

"I'm not asking you to keep an eye on Su Yuan, I'm asking you to keep an eye on my daughter and not let her run wild."

Tai Baiji offered an explanation.

"Oh……"

Chen Nuoyi nodded quickly.

Then, under the reluctant gaze of their father, Taibai Yuxi and Su Yuan walked off the sword boat, chatting and laughing.

The sword-shaped boat rose, carrying the solitary Tai Bai Tian Ji away.

After leaving the port, the students followed their phone's navigation and took the subway to an apartment building in the city center. The landlord, who had been informed in advance, was already waiting at the apartment entrance. He led Su Yuan and the others upstairs and arranged ten apartments for them as dormitories.

Each dormitory room is numbered consecutively and has an actual area of ​​60 square meters. It is a standard two-bedroom, one-living room apartment with a large floor-to-ceiling window.

Originally, there were only nineteen students, and the ten apartments were not enough to accommodate them, but with the addition of Taibai Yuxi, it was just right.

At first, Taibai Yuxi still held onto a sliver of hope, wanting to share a room with Su Yuan.

However, under the influence of the invisible hand of the Heavenly Pivot, the landlord strictly required men and women to live separately.

The white-haired loli had no choice but to settle for second best and share a room with Chen Nuoyi.

All she could do was make sure her room was next to Su Yuan's, that was all.

Su Yuan's roommate is still Chu Lanxi, just like before.

"Wait a minute, why is the rent so expensive? Are you running a rip-off business?!"

After the rooms were assigned, the students faced the unavoidable issue of rent.

When Su Yuan saw that the landlord quoted a price of five thousand per person per month, with water, electricity and the spirit-gathering array to be charged separately, his eyes immediately sharpened.

The landlord had no choice but to offer an explanation.

It turns out that this price was already discounted by 30% because of Taibai Baiji, as housing prices and rents in Shixian City are generally very expensive.

There are apartments cheaper than this one, but they are either old houses with incomplete facilities or pigeon lofts.

After carefully checking housing prices online, Su Yuan found that this was indeed the case.

Everyone had no choice but to obediently hand over the money.

However, just looking at the rent, it's clear that living in Shixian City is extremely difficult.

The price of products from the cutting-edge Immortal Path should not increase, but basic living expenses will definitely be more than three times higher than in Taihua City.

Fortunately, Su Yuan made money by opening the Demonic Sect; otherwise, he would have had to work from dawn till dusk just to make ends meet.

After receiving the rent, the landlord kindly gave me some tips on living in Shixian City.

The first issue is the limitation on flying swords.

In the City of Ten Immortals, unless a local license plate is obtained, flying swords from outside the city cannot fly within the city limits.

Those without licenses either rely on Didi (a ride-hailing app) or the subway for transportation.

If all else fails, there's always the psionic electric scooter.

That's right, there are electric scooters in Shixian City. Because of the high population density, the city has three transportation systems: surface transportation, ground transportation, and underground transportation.

Whether it's a psionic electric donkey or a motorcycle, the Ten Immortals City has very lenient regulations on them.

Because it's just...too slow.

Even at its top speed, it only reaches three to five hundred kilometers per hour, which is nothing compared to a flying sword.

Local delivery drivers in the Qi Refining stage mostly rely on electric scooters or motorcycles to deliver food.

Only delivery riders at the Foundation Establishment stage can afford a local license and use flying swords to deliver food.

"A Foundation Establishment stage food delivery driver?"

Upon hearing this profession, Su Yuan's lips twitched involuntarily.

In Taihua City, there are security guards during the foundation-building phase, but food delivery workers are extremely rare.

As a result, the deliverymen who build foundations in the Ten Immortals City have become a regular occurrence.

So, as soon as I broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, my cultivation level depreciated at lightning speed, right?

Of course, this is actually a joke. How can the Foundation Establishment students of the Ten Great Immortal Sects be the same as those from ordinary universities or even junior colleges?

In addition to transportation, there are also various prices and precautions for daily life.

After giving a lengthy introduction, the landlord left.

Su Yuan returned to his room and took his luggage out of his storage magic item.

While carrying his luggage, he chatted with the Crimson Yuan Sword hanging behind him. As they talked, he was surprised to discover that the Crimson Yuan Sword actually had a license from the Ten Immortal Cities.

It can only be said that Taibai Laodeng is really rich, as he has obtained local license plates for most of the flying swords in Cangjian Pavilion.

In this way, he can accept orders simply by opening the Kangaroo Crowdsourcing app.

Suppressing the urge to take on two more orders, Su Yuan lay on the bed and carefully studied the process of establishing a sect in Ten Immortals City.
