After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.

Just look at these demons and immortals bound in shackles and you'll know.

Their faces were filled with resigned despair and numbness, just like the fairies under the sage Xiannu Shang's command.

Clearly, this kind of business, like the business of selling celestial slaves, has lasted for at least several decades or even centuries.

At this moment, a female cultivator merchant approached Yu Zhiyue and said meaningfully, "My fairy, why don't you buy a demon immortal to serve you? After all, the young master beside you looks quite noble. Wouldn't it be perfect to have a demon immortal serve you? Besides, I also have a male demon immortal over there. He's a bull demon with a strong golden spiritual root..."

"No, I don't need it!"

Yu Zhiyue quickly waved her hand in refusal, hugged the spirit fox in her arms tightly, and then moved closer to Lin Heng.

"I'm gone."

"good!"

Hearing Lin Heng's call, Yu Zhiyue quickly followed.

They did not enter the dark alley, but continued forward.

As they walked, Lin Heng glanced at Yu Zhiyue, who had her head down, and asked, "Haven't you seen this kind of business before?"

"I've met him..."

After taking a deep breath, Yu Zhiyue said, "There are some around the Fuchen Inn where my uncle and the others stayed."

"I thought this was the first time we'd met."

"That's not true... In the Immortal Realm, almost every city has such demon-immortal traffickers."

Yu Zhiyue frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "I just feel that doing this kind of business of selling demon immortals will inevitably bring retribution sooner or later."

"Oh? Tell me more."

Upon hearing this, Lin Heng became interested.

If he hadn't experienced the Demon Calendar, he would definitely think Yu Zhiyue's ideas were too saintly.

But after seeing the countless merchants selling immortal servants on the streets, he realized that Yu Zhiyue's ideas were actually quite farsighted.

"This is the same principle as how my grandfather managed the Tian Shu Kingdom. For the imperial court, the hearts of the people of the whole country are the most important. If a certain group of people is oppressed too much, it will inevitably be met with resistance, or even the overthrow of the imperial court."

Yu Zhiyue turned around and glanced at the dark alley she had just left: "If one day, a demon immortal really does cultivate to the Enlightenment Realm, or even the Feather Transformation Realm... then the one locked in front of the stall will probably not be a demon immortal."

Lin Heng nodded slowly.

Although in the future Demon Calendar, no demon immortal managed to take over the immortal realm.

But in the mortal realm after the demonic tide caused the collapse of the immortal realm, those who were displayed as commodities on the streets did indeed change from demon immortals to fairies.

"Let's exchange some spirit stones here first."

At this moment, Lin Heng stopped in front of a pawnshop.

Yu Zhiyue was immediately stunned: "Young Master Lin, you, you also want to buy the Demon Immortal?"

"I want to buy it, but before I come to Guiyuan City, I need to buy a place to stay."

Lin Heng shrugged, then took out a few spiritual herbs he had harvested in the past few days from his ring and went to the pawnshop to negotiate with the owner.

Yu Zhiyue stood at the pawnshop entrance, looking at Lin Heng with mixed feelings.

Young Master Lin also wants to buy a demon fairy...

Could it be that he has taken a fancy to the fair-skinned and capable rabbit fairy?

Or perhaps a goat fairy that can produce goat milk...

At the pawnshop in Guiyuan City, Lin Heng exchanged his surplus spirit herbs for a whole box of spirit stones.

After all, these spiritual herbs are all used to refine herbs that can help one break through to the Golden Core Realm.

In the celestial realm, their popularity rivals that of the robust herbs in the mortal world.

With such a big order, the pawnshop owner was grinning from ear to ear.

So when Lin Heng casually inquired about real estate in Guiyuan City, the pawnshop owner didn't even bother giving directions. He simply sent his servants to invite a real estate owner he knew to the pawnshop to introduce him to Lin Heng.

Before long, three real estate merchants from Guiyuan City arrived at the pawnshop and began promoting their properties to Lin Heng.

The first real estate developer introduced, "Young master, my main properties are adjacent to the Tu Tu Sect and the Yun Ling Sect. If you want to join one of these two major sects in Guiyuan City, this is definitely your best choice. However, the price... hehe, ten thousand spirit stones."

Lin Heng's eyelids twitched.

The box of spirit stones he just acquired contained only a little over a thousand stones.

What's so special about a property that costs 10,000 spirit stones right off the bat?

Is it a parcel housing unit...?

Lin Heng said helplessly, "It's too expensive. I prefer properties that cost less than a thousand coins."

"Then choose mine!"

The second real estate developer eagerly stated, "My property is mainly a small attic next to the Guiyuan City market. The surrounding amenities are complete, making everything convenient!"

"That's not bad."

Lin Heng nodded slowly: "But if it's a small attic, it probably doesn't have a courtyard, right? Or the courtyard isn't very big."

After all, he needs more space to construct the array.

"Although the yard isn't big, my little attic is quite unique!"

The second real estate developer immediately said, "Especially the windows on the second floor, which offer a perfect view of the Spirit Spring of the Tu Tu Sect. Every evening, the fairies of the Tu Tu Sect go to the Spirit Spring... Hehe, you know what I mean, young master."

"..."

Lin Heng looked directly at the third real estate developer.

"My property... might not be suitable for you, young master."

The third real estate agent said somewhat hesitantly, "Young master wants properties priced at several hundred spirit stones, but my properties are near the city gate, in a very remote location. Although they are all priced around one hundred spirit stones, wealthy people often buy them as farmhouses for the demon immortals who work there..."

"Farmhouse? Does it have land?"

Lin Heng's eyes lit up.

The third real estate developer paused for a moment: "There's a courtyard about an acre in size near the north gate. A cultivator from out of town once bought it to grow spiritual herbs..."

"This one will do!"

Lin Heng immediately made the decision.

One acre of land, one hundred spirit stones.

Aside from the slightly less desirable location, all my other requirements were met.

Moreover, in Lin Heng's view, the problem of poor location was the easiest to solve...

So, right there in the pawnshop, Lin Heng didn't even bother to look at the house; he directly completed the transaction with the third real estate developer.

When Lin Heng said he was leaving, the pawnshop owner quickly had his servants help him move the remaining spirit stones over.

"Young Master Lin, have you... reached an agreement?"

Yu Zhiyue had been waiting at the pawnshop entrance.

She was still struggling with the question: what exactly did Lin Heng want to do by buying the demon fairy?

"Okay, all done."

Lin Heng nodded, then signaled the pawnshop servants to stop, and took out about a hundred spirit stones from inside and handed them directly to Yu Zhiyue.

"Young Master Lin, what... what is this?"

Yu Zhiyue looked at Lin Heng with a puzzled expression.

Lin Heng said in a low voice, "Go and buy all the demon immortals in that alley."

"All the demon immortals?"

Yu Zhiyue stared wide-eyed in surprise.

Does Young Master Lin not only want a fair-skinned and capable rabbit fairy, but also want to drink goat milk?

Wait, something's not right...

If Young Master Lin truly has this need, why would he send me there?

So Yu Zhiyue asked curiously, "Young Master Lin... do you have any plans?"

"Um."

Lin Heng nodded and said with a smile, "Have them help me find out some information, and then spread that information out."
