High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

As they were talking.

The convoy left Luodu city and soon arrived at the Longyuanshan area on the outskirts of the city.

This is a high-end residential area specially built by the Great Xia Kingdom for the Martial Saint Elders and high-ranking members of the Dragon Martial Division. The entire mountain range is surrounded by high walls.

The entrance is heavily guarded by martial arts practitioners, and ordinary people are not even allowed to approach the foot of the mountain.

It can fully guarantee the safety of residents.

The vehicle passed through layers of inspections without any hindrance and wound its way up the mountain road.

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

Chen Yuan could clearly sense that the concentration of spiritual energy here was at least three times that of the outside world!

Lin Wei explained at the right time.

"Beneath Longyuan Mountain lies a spiritual vein unearthed from the Heavenly Cave Secret Realm, so the concentration of spiritual energy there is much greater than outside. Most of the people living on the mountain are family members of the high-ranking officials of the Dragon Martial Division. After all, there aren't many powerful individuals like you, Chief Chen, who live alone."

She phrased it tactfully, but Chen Yuan understood.

This is a "family compound" exclusively for the powerful, considered one of the perks of high-ranking officials.

The car eventually stopped in front of a huge bronze door.

Two rows of people were already standing neatly in front of the door. On the left were men in black suits, and on the right were maids in uniform.

Moreover, they were all at the peak of the Martial Apprentice level, making them much more efficient at their work than ordinary people.

At the very front stood a middle-aged butler with a refined and scholarly demeanor, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and possessing the cultivation level of a Grandmaster at its peak.

And behind them.

The original guard team was withdrawing in an orderly manner, clearly indicating that Lin Wei had conveyed Chen Yuan's orders in advance.

As the convoy stopped, everyone bowed in unison.

"Welcome back home, sir!"

Their voices were clear and their attitude was very respectful.

Lin Wei got out of the car first and opened the car door for Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan stepped out, followed closely by eleven members of the Holy Dragon Guard, who stood on either side as bodyguards.

The butler quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"Master Chen, my name is Zhao Wenyuan, and I have been appointed by the General Affairs Department to serve as the steward of your residence. There are currently twenty-eight full-time staff members in the residence, all of whom have passed strict screening and are loyal and reliable."

"Please do not hesitate to ask me for any further requests."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

These people all had their heads down, but you could see the excitement and tension in their eyes.

Serving a peak Martial Saint is something you can brag about for a lifetime!

Lin Wei spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Master Chen, these twenty-eight people are all carefully selected experts, proficient in cooking, housekeeping, and chores. They will serve you in your daily life from now on."

"Monthly salaries are paid on time by the General Affairs Department, so you don't need to worry about it. If you feel there aren't enough people, the General Affairs Department will immediately send more..."

"That's enough." Chen Yuan waved his hand, his gaze already fixed on the gate of the mansion in front of him.

Zhao Wenyuan immediately understood and turned around to speak loudly.

"Open the gates to welcome the gentleman!"

Rumble...

The heavy bronze door slowly opened inward.

When the scene behind the door was fully revealed, even though Chen Yuan was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but gasp!

What comes into view is a classical garden covering hundreds of acres!

Pavilions and towers, small bridges and flowing water, exotic flowers and rare plants are everywhere.

The spiritual energy transformed into mist, creating a scene resembling a fairyland!

In the very center is a three-story main hall with flying eaves and brackets, resplendent in gold and green.

There are several side halls on each side, each with its own functions.

The most outrageous thing is that there is a shimmering artificial lake in the backyard, and a cultivation tower is built on the island in the middle of the lake, with the spire reaching straight into the sky!

"This...this is a mansion?" Chen Yuan was stunned.

This size is so large, you could easily mistake it for an imperial palace!

Suddenly, I felt like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

I had never seen anything like this in my previous life, and I almost revealed my true nature as a country bumpkin on the spot.

He quickly tried to remain calm and keep a straight face.

Lin Wei smiled and said, "Master, this is the most luxurious mansion in the entire Longyuan Mountain, covering an area of ​​several hundred acres."

"Furthermore, with the special approval of Chief Zhou, national treasury resources were used to expedite the construction for twelve hours straight to complete the addition."

"All the furniture and furnishings inside are top-of-the-line. The cultivation tower is equipped with the highest-level spirit-gathering array, and the concentration of spiritual energy is twice that of other areas of Longyuan Mountain and several times that of the outside world."

"And it was equipped with a specially made convoy..."

"That's very thoughtful."

Chen Yuan nodded, his satisfaction almost overflowing.

This treatment is already extremely extravagant.

One can only say that the treatment of a peak Martial Saint is truly terrifying...

Lin Wei keenly sensed Chen Yuan's emotions and took out a metal box about half a person's height from her spatial ring.

Place it on the ground and open it.

Wow.

A rich spiritual energy instantly spread out!

The box contained tens of thousands of crystal-clear spirit crystals, each the size of an egg, with iridescent light inside, clearly of extremely high quality.

"This is your monthly stipend, sir, 100,000 spirit crystals. Please accept it," Lin Wei said respectfully.

Chen Yuan glanced at it and was delighted again.

He knew about spirit crystals.

This is a natural energy crystal formed after the spiritual energy has been restored. It is both a cultivation resource for high-level martial artists and a top-tier form of hard currency.

His status was roughly equivalent to that of a Gold Saint before the time travel, or even higher.

A single ordinary spirit crystal is worth 10,000 Great Xia coins!

On the black market, the price doubles!

The higher the quality, the higher the price; only martial artists of the Grandmaster level or above are qualified to access it.

These are clearly of superior quality, and their prices on the black market are even more outrageous...

One hundred thousand spirit crystals is equivalent to at least one billion Great Xia coins!

And this is just a monthly salary!

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Chen Yuan waved his hand, and the entire box of spirit crystals instantly disappeared, being stored in the infinite storage space.

A hint of envy flashed in Lin Wei's eyes.

But it quickly subsided.

Now that everything was settled, she didn't linger any longer and reluctantly took her leave: "Lord Master... if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. Steward Zhao is familiar with everything in the manor; if you need anything, please contact me anytime using the Holy Lord's Token."

She paused, then added, still unwilling to give up.

"Regarding my daughter Mengyao... could you please reconsider?"

Chen Yuan was both amused and exasperated: "Alright, Minister Lin, take care."

After seeing Lin Wei off.

Accompanied by Zhao Wenyuan, Chen Yuan toured the entire mansion inside and out.

The more I look at it, the more satisfied I become.

The main hall's living room is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and the bedroom's bed is made of thousand-year-old warm jade excavated from the Heavenly Cave Secret Realm.

The study was filled with ancient books.

There are even dedicated alchemy and weapon-forging areas...

Rare spirit fish are kept in the artificial lake in the backyard.

The cultivation tower on the island in the middle of the lake is nine stories high, with different auxiliary formations set up on each floor.

"This is what life is all about." Chen Yuan stood on the terrace on the third floor of the main hall, overlooking the entire luxurious mansion, and sighed inwardly.

Before time travel, I had to pay off a 30-year loan for a house of a few dozen square meters; now I live in a palace of more than 300 acres.

This gap...

"Boss."

Chen Tianling appeared behind him without him noticing and said respectfully.

"We have taken full control of the mansion's defensive formations and strengthened them. No one can break in silently without your permission, and it can withstand the powerful attack of a mid-stage Martial Saint."

Chen Yuan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

With the Holy Dragon Guards around, there's really no need to worry about safety.

Furthermore, Longyuan Mountain is a key protected area by the authorities, and petty criminals dare not approach it.
