Living a peaceful life in the world of cultivation

After serving tea to Zhao Dashan, Lü Ping sat down to receive the good news about the new house.

With their current strength and financial resources, the inner city area of ​​the market is definitely out of the question.

There is still a slight possibility for courtyards near the inner city.

but.

Yunzhu Market is under the jurisdiction of the Yunzhu Li family, including the land, so there are no corresponding brokerage firms within the market.

If you want to change your residence, you need to go to the Li family steward in charge of that area and register the change.

The steward in charge of the East District's unaffiliated cultivators area was Li Ren.

If possible, Lü Ping prefers to continue living in the East District.

The western district is a mixed bag, and conflicts often occur among cultivators; the northern district is mostly inhabited by cultivators who have mastered cultivation techniques, and they look down on the rogue cultivators in other areas; as for the southern district, it is not much different from the eastern district.

"Hehe, Aping, take a look at this first." Zhao Dashan handed over a jade slip with a mysterious look on his face.

Lu Ping naturally recognized this jade slip; it was called a "recording jade slip," capable of storing light and shadow videos. Although it wasn't expensive, its uses were limited, so few cultivators purchased it.

Lu Ping took the image-recording jade slip and stuck it on his forehead. Immediately afterwards, the image-recording jade slip turned into a stream of light and slowly dissipated.

Within the jade slip containing the image, a spacious courtyard appears.

The courtyard with its green tiles and white walls was twice the size of the current small courtyard, and the area of ​​spiritual soil within it was also much larger than the current small courtyard. It was estimated that two more areas of spiritual soil could be carved out. The spiritual soil in the courtyard was dark and soft, obviously having been carefully cultivated by predecessors.

What delights people most is the sacred spring in the very center of the courtyard.

The spring is square, about half a zhang in length and width, and clear spring water gurgles out from the springhead.

The spring water shimmers with a faint, luminous white light, containing pure and gentle spiritual energy. If one uses the Spirit Rain Technique to draw upon the spring water to nourish spiritual plants, it can ensure their vigorous growth. Furthermore, through continuous watering, it can even enhance the appearance of the spiritual plants once they mature.

Yunzhufang City is located in the Xuechan Mountain Range, and beneath the Xuechan Mountain Range, there are many water veins and earth veins.

Within the market town, the spiritual springs in the courtyards of the four major independent cultivation areas in the east, west, south, and north are all drawn from underground water veins.

However, if some underground water veins are arbitrarily disturbed, it will cause adverse effects. Therefore, spiritual springs are not considered a standard feature of the inner courtyard.

However, it is impossible for a spiritual spring to exist in the outermost area where cultivators like Lü Ping reside.

"Brother Dashan, this courtyard has a sacred spring."

"Furthermore, given its location in the inner perimeter, the required residence fee must have increased considerably."

Lu Ping had previously learned about it in a rough way.

The living expenses in the East District are divided according to their distance from the inner city. In this courtyard, the living expenses are ten low-grade spirit stones per month; further in, the living expenses are about fifteen low-grade spirit stones per month, which is somewhat similar to the first to fifth ring division in my previous life.

If there is a spiritual spring in the courtyard, the fee for the immortal abode will increase slightly, roughly to twenty low-grade spirit stones per month.

The cost was sixty low-grade spirit stones per quarter. In order to pay the exorbitant cost of the Immortal Abode, they had no choice but to compromise with the Yunzhu Li family and cultivate cloud-patterned bamboo for them.

"That's natural. The quarterly residence fee is roughly sixty low-grade spirit stones."

"If we help the Yunzhu Li family cultivate cloud-patterned bamboo, we will receive thirty low-grade spirit stones per quarter."

The amount of money Zhao Dashan found out about Xianju was roughly the same as what Lü Ping had guessed.

However, in theory, courtyards with spiritual springs like these are quite sought after.

"Brother Dashan, if there's only one courtyard like this with a spiritual spring left, then please give it to you first."

"The spiritual spring can nourish a cultivator's physical body. Xiao Fan is still young, and this is the time for him to grow and lay a solid foundation."

"With the spiritual spring water, Brother Dashan, go buy some more green corn. I wonder how solid Xiao Fan's foundation will become."

"Back then, we were in a mortal Taoist temple, where we didn't have the conditions for a mortal like Xiao Fan."

Lu Ping said earnestly that Zhao Dashan had been busy for a long time to find a new courtyard. He had used his own connections to successfully find a courtyard with a spiritual spring.

"One, no, no, no." Zhao Dashan looked smug and held up two fingers: "I've found two courtyards with spiritual springs like this."

"Moreover, these two courtyards have already been rented for us."

"What?"

Lu Ping was astonished. When did his Brother Dashan acquire such connections and influence?

Seeing that Aping, who was usually calm and collected, was so surprised to hear this news, Zhao Dashan felt relieved.

"Hehe, Aping, you didn't expect that, did you?"

Lu Ping shook his head, he couldn't believe it.

"I obtained these two courtyards by exchanging talisman inheritance."

"We used the inheritance of a first-tier low-grade demon-finding talisman to get Qian Fushi to help us rent these two courtyards."

"I will use the inheritance of the first-tier mid-grade talisman, the Wind-Riding Talisman, to exchange for the money talisman master to take Xiao Fan as his apprentice and teach him how to draw talismans."

The Tier 1 Low-Grade Demon-Finding Talisman, once activated, can search for traces of demonic beasts within a ten-mile radius, and uses the beast's shed hair and blood as a guide to achieve a certain tracking effect.

The first-tier mid-grade talisman, the Wind-Riding Talisman, greatly increases the speed of cultivation and escape when activated, as if aided by the wind. It is an essential talisman for chasing and fleeing.

Upon hearing Zhao Dashan's explanation, Lü Ping suddenly realized that it was because they had asked Master Qian to intervene.

The talisman master's name is Qian Kai. He is a mid-grade first-level talisman master. Logically speaking, with his talisman-making skills, he could easily afford to rent a house in the inner city, or even a spacious house in the northern district.

But Master Qian did the opposite and lived in the East District.

This money-grubbing master, true to his name, is a cultivator who is greedy for money.

For any cultivator who wants to learn the art of talisman making from him, Qian Fushi is always easy to talk to; all they need to do is pay enough spirit stones.

The reason why Master Qian accepted Zhao Xiaofan as his disciple was because Zhao Dashan had paid enough spirit stones.

After all, what Zhao Dashan gave up was the inheritance of talismans.

What is the inheritance of talismans?

A lineage of talisman crafting encompasses the selection and preparation of talisman paper; different types of talismans require different talisman paper and materials. The method of preparing talisman ink, also known as spiritual ink, is crucial for successfully drawing talismans and improving their quality. Compatible spiritual ink is of paramount importance...

The transmission of talisman skills is very important, but having a master with superb talisman-making skills to teach you is also very important.

The master leads you through the door, but the practice depends on the individual. However, one must first enter the door of practice before one is qualified to discuss whether one is diligent in practice.

"Don't worry, Ah Ping, although Master Qian is greedy for money..."

"But it has never broken its promise."

"Furthermore, I am just a lowly Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator. I obtained this talisman inheritance for Xiao Fan. Holding it in my hands is like holding a hot potato."

"I'm alright as long as I'm here, I can still protect the mother and daughter. If I go to explore the wilderness, I don't know how many people will covet this talisman inheritance."

"Fortunately, we might as well go all the way and use it as Xiao Fan's tuition fee."

Zhao Dashan's shrewd calculations this time were different from his usual honest and simple ways, and even Lü Ping had to admire this Brother Dashan.

"Brother Dashan truly possesses great wisdom."

"but."

"Brother Dashan, you absolutely must accept this sword energy talisman..."
