I cultivate immortality through The Sims.

"Little Rao, do you think Shen Jingshu is just faking it?" Wan Zi asked curiously.

Tan Yanrao nodded shyly: "That night, she, she..."

"How is she?" Duan Mengyan immediately leaned closer and asked curiously.

"I'm too embarrassed to say it!" Tan Yanrao blushed and lowered her head.

This has left Wan Zi and Duan Mengyan stumped.

Are you too embarrassed to say it?

We've seen what you look like before!

You've gone to such lengths, and you're still too embarrassed to say anything?

Wan Zi and Duan Mengyan rolled their eyes in unison.

Wan Zi, on the other hand, had the air of a big sister:

"What's there to be embarrassed about! It's okay, go ahead and say it! There's no one else here."

Duan Mengyan immediately nodded in agreement.

Seemingly hesitating for a moment, Tan Yanrao stole a glance at the person who had closed their eyes to rest, pretending not to know or hear anything.

Then he gestured for Wanzi to lean closer.

"She..." Tan Yanrao described Shen Jingshu's sincerity that night in a whisper.

As she listened, Wan Zi couldn't help but blush, and couldn't help but steal a glance at the upright and honest Yang Mu.

"Tell me, tell me quickly!" Duan Mengyan put her ear close to Tan Yanrao's mouth again.

Tan Yanrao repeated her words verbatim.

As soon as she finished speaking, Duan Mengyan's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom:

"She...she...she's so shameless!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mu couldn't help but scoff inwardly: This is nothing!

At this moment, Yang Mu and the other three had already embarked on their journey to Fuqin City.

Of the four people, only Wan Zi was at the Golden Core stage.

Only Wan Zi can fly on a sword.

Therefore, Wan Zi led the group flying all the way.

Even so, it took the group of four nearly three months to reach Fuqin City.

Of course, Yang Mu wouldn't let such a golden opportunity slip by.

In his previous life, Yang Mu had witnessed far too many shocks.

But there has never been a shock when flying on a sword.

Yang Mu naturally wanted to experience it.

That feeling...

It’s just that!

Fuqin City is extremely magnificent.

It is hundreds of meters high and its width is so great that it cannot be seen at a glance.

There is a main gate in each of the four cardinal directions of Fuqin City.

Each gate is tens of meters high and tens of meters wide.

Each main gate has two smaller gates on either side.

The small gates are tens of meters wide and more than twenty meters high.

Furthermore, the small door on the right side of the main gate is for entry only, not exit.

The small door to the left of the main gate is for exiting only, not entering.

At the same time, anyone entering or leaving Fuqin City, regardless of who they are, even those at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stages, must walk into the city.

Upon entering the city, four mountain peaks came into view.

Numerous caves have been carved out within these four mountain peaks, specifically for cultivators at the Golden Core stage and above to reside in.

To facilitate the travel of servants of Golden Core cultivators and above, Fuqin City has specially prepared flying spirit beasts for them.

Therefore, on the four mountain peaks, many people come and go, some riding swords, some riding beasts, and some flying through the air.

A large spirit-gathering array was specially built around the four mountain peaks.

The higher you go, the denser the spiritual energy within the cave becomes.

Numerous inns were built around the four mountain peaks to house cultivators at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages.

Outside the inn were various shops selling pills, materials, weapons, and so on.

In the middle of the four mountain peaks stands an extremely magnificent architectural complex.

That is the city lord's mansion of Fuqin City.

Among Yang Mu's group of four, Wan Zi was at the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, Yang Mu and the other three were still qualified to rent a cave dwelling on the mountain peak.

However, when Yang Mu and his group arrived at the rental place and inquired, they found that the price of renting a cave dwelling was shockingly expensive.

Each mountain peak has eighty-one caves carved out.

Number them from low to high.

Numbers 80 and 81 on each mountain peak are only available for rent to cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above.

Of the remaining numbers, those that are multiples of nine have the strongest spiritual energy.

Cave No. 72, 100,000 low-grade spirit stones per month.

In addition, although the flying spirit beasts are provided by Fuqin City, the people who rent the cave dwellings have to feed them themselves.

Ten low-grade spirit stones per day.

To ensure that tenants feed their flying spirit beasts on time, Fuqin City will require tenants to pay a security deposit of 10,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Once the tenant moves out, the spirit stones will be returned to the tenant.

Upon hearing the price, Yang Mu didn't even dare to dream of the No. 72 cave dwelling.

Even the No. 9 cave dwelling costs 1 low-grade spirit stones per month.

Yang Mu awkwardly turned his head to look at Wan Zi.

Because almost all the spirit stones are in Wanzi's possession.

Wan Zi glanced at the price list and immediately said, "We want Cave No. 27."

The No. 27 cave dwelling costs 30,000 spirit stones per month, plus a 10,000 spirit stone deposit, resulting in a fixed monthly expenditure of 300 spirit stones.

That's nearly 400,000 spirit stones a year!

Seeing the shock on Yang Mu, Tan Yanrao's, and Duan Mengyan's faces, Wan Zi immediately patted her chest: "Don't worry, I'm rich!"

The innkeeper who rented the cave dwelling immediately smiled and said, "Honorable guest, this is perfect timing. No. 27 South Peak is currently unoccupied."

"Are you sure you want to rent this property?"

Wan Zi immediately tossed out a high-grade spirit stone and said generously, "Rent for two years first."

1 high-grade spirit stone = 1000 mid-grade spirit stones = 1000000 low-grade spirit stones.

Yang Mu couldn't help but curse.

Although Yang Mu was quite wealthy in the Thousand Clouds Sect and the Black Moon Fortress, his wealth was only measured in low-grade spirit stones.

Moreover, compared to Fuqin City, places like Qianyun Sect and Wuyue Fortress are truly remote and impoverished.

"No problem!" the innkeeper immediately replied with a smile. "Please wait a moment, esteemed guest!"

At this moment, Yang Mu noticed that there were four columns of directions (east, west, south, and north) on the wall behind the shopkeeper.

Each column is labeled with numbers 1 through 81.

Next to each number is a small, transparent ball that resembles a luminous pearl.

Many of the small balls have already lit up.

Each number corresponds to a token.

When the shopkeeper waved and took the token numbered South 27, the corresponding ball lit up instantly.

It seems that the lit-up ball indicates that someone lives in that cave.

Immediately, Yang Mu looked up slightly at the numbers 80 and 81 on each mountain peak.

Surprisingly, all the lights were on except for Xifeng No. 80.

In other words, these four mountain peaks are inhabited by seven Nascent Soul cultivators or higher?!

Although Yang Mu was not afraid of being possessed by a Nascent Soul cultivator!

However, faced with a fully formed Nascent Soul, Yang Mu could only let it do as it pleased.

After taking the token, the shopkeeper respectfully handed it to Wanzi.

But Wan Zi immediately handed the token to Yang Mu.

Upon receiving the token, Yang Mu immediately felt that it seemed very familiar.

The token appears to be made of bronze and has a pale yellow color.

The three characters "Fuqin City" are on the north side.

The front reads "South 27".

Isn't this the same style as the token left by Zhao Ziyan?

However, the token left by Zhao Ziyan was purple, with only the character "紫" (purple) on the front.

Seeing Yang Mu staring blankly at the token, the shopkeeper chuckled and said, "Are these your first time visiting Fuqin City, esteemed guests?"

Yang Mu nodded.

The shopkeeper immediately explained patiently, "Each cave on the four peaks has two formations, one of which is used to isolate sound and movement."

"This is to prevent each cave from affecting the others."

"The second is the protective formation."

"No one may enter another's cave without permission except for this token."

At this point, Zhang Gu added, "Of course, if anyone forcibly destroys the formation of another person's cave, the city's patrol officers will know immediately and rush to the cave where the incident occurred."

"The patrol envoys leading the team are at least in the late Golden Core stage."

"Therefore, our valued guests can rest assured when renting a room."

"At the same time, this token can also identify you."

"This token will serve as proof of your identity when you are inspected by the city patrol."

Yang Mu nodded; this token was a kind of alternative identity card.

Immediately, Yang Mu asked, seemingly without a doubt, "Shopkeeper, this token looks like it's made of bronze. Do you also have silver or gold tokens? Or tokens of other colors?"
