Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 28: A Class B Residence (Please continue reading)

For just thirty-six spirit stones, the couple could move into a Class B mansion and continue their cultivation.

This is like a windfall!
As for Shen Xuan and his wife.

Ding Yuyao is a mortal and would hardly occupy the cultivation resources of a second-class mansion.

Shen Xuan is a talisman master, but only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Compared to Zhao Chunsheng at the seventh level of Qi Refining and Jiang Xueqi at the fifth level of Qi Refining, they are completely unequal.

"This is not good."

Zhao Chunsheng rubbed his hands together, a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.

This is quite a bargain.

He had just taken a medium-grade detoxifying pill, which cleared away the remaining toxins.

The Ding family gave him that mid-grade detoxifying pill free of charge, out of respect for Shen Xuan.

Even he, who is usually thick-skinned, felt somewhat sorry for Shen Xuan.

"Let's go take a look first."

“Master Shen is right, husband, let’s go take a look together!”

Jiang Xueqi spoke up at the right time.

Master Shen used a communication talisman to contact Uncle Ren.

Led by Uncle Ren, the four of them toured the Class B mansion with great interest.

There are five vacant Class B mansions.

Jiang Xueqi and Ding Yuyao were clearly more excited when it came to choosing a residence.

Upon entering the Class B mansion area, Shen Xuan, Zhao Chunsheng, and Jiang Xueqi all took a deep breath.

The wisps of spiritual energy floating in the air were absorbed into the three people's bodies and refined into strands of spiritual power, at a speed ten times faster than in Dingdeng's residence area!
Within Shen Xuan's dantian.

Strands of emerald-green spiritual energy spread out, flowing through the five internal organs, rising and falling like waves in a vast ocean, endlessly regenerating.

This is only in the Class B mansion area.

If it's a training room inside a second-class mansion, with a dedicated spiritual vein providing spiritual energy, then the speed...

No wonder, any independent cultivator with even a little ambition will try every means to gather enough spirit stones and move to a suitable place for cultivation.

The training room in the Class B residence has reached the standard of a first-class superior training ground.

Outside the market area, the concentration is only one-tenth of that here.

The shantytowns outside are merely absorbing some of the dissipated spiritual energy.

Without resources, companions, Dharma, or a suitable place, and without even a proper place for spiritual practice, any desire to advance in cultivation is nothing but wishful thinking.

Struggling at the bottom for a lifetime, at most reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining, this is the true life of most rogue cultivators!

Fortunately, Shen Xuan possesses a mysterious jade talisman that can plunder the talents of demonic beasts, continuously improving his spiritual root aptitude, paving a bright future for him!
The four of them patiently examined all five Class B mansions before finally selecting mansion number 36.

"Master Shen has a good eye! This mansion is very close to the core area of ​​Grade A, and the spiritual energy is also more concentrated than the other mansions."

"It's a secluded courtyard with a spirit pond inside, where some spirit lotuses are planted, which is perfect for a water-based cultivator like Master Shen!"

As for Zhao Chunsheng and his wife, a pair of demon hunters, they were not worth mentioning in Uncle Ren's eyes.

Shen Xuan was quite satisfied.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Uncle Ren took out the access token.

The defensive formation recognized the information on the jade tablet and opened silently and slowly.

"From now on, as long as you input your aura into the access token, you can come and go freely."

Each Class B residence is more than two miles apart and is equipped with a first-grade high-level defensive array, which even Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot penetrate or detect with their divine sense.

Moreover, the mansion was extremely large.

It not only has a separate backyard, but also a matching spirit pond and spirit plant garden.

Each Class B mansion is equivalent to a small castle.

Wow, so many rooms!

They entered the Class B mansion.

Ding Yuyao and Jiang Xueqi could no longer contain their joy and looked around at the buildings inside.

Excluding the basement, there are three floors in total, and each floor has four bedrooms and two living rooms.

Two practice rooms were set up.

Although there is no spirit-gathering array, the concentration of spiritual energy inside is sufficient for a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator to practice.

"Master Shen, let's go upstairs and take a look." Uncle Ren led Shen Xuan up to the second floor.

The structure of each layer is similar.

However, on the third floor, there is a small rooftop terrace that overlooks the entire Qinglong Bay Market.

"Let's go see the Spirit Pool!"

There are some ordinary spirit lotuses in the spirit pool, swaying in the wind, with a unique charm.

Shen Xuan stood by the spirit pool, the refreshing water energy wafting towards him, making him feel an indescribable sense of comfort.

Near the spirit pool is a small spirit plant garden, where some common first-tier spirit plants are planted.

"This mansion will do," Shen Xuan said, quite satisfied. The Spirit Pool was what he valued most.

The more water there is, the safer he feels.

"Alright!" Uncle Ren handed over the access control jade token with practiced ease.

"The homeowner wrote Zhao Daoyou's name on the paper."

"what!"

Ren Shu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately followed Shen Xuan's wishes and registered Zhao Chunsheng as the homeowner.

Shen Xuan took out seventy-two spirit stones and prepaid a year's rent.

After Uncle Ren left, Shen Xuan returned to the Class B mansion, where two women were chattering away.

Women are more particular about the quality of a house.

"It's settled. Seventy-two spirit stones a year. The landlord is Fellow Daoist Zhao. I've paid a year's rent upfront."

Jiang Xueqi excitedly shook Zhao Chunsheng's arm.

"Husband, when shall we move?"

"Wife, be quiet, you're giving me a headache."

Zhao Chunsheng rubbed his hands together and turned to Shen Xuan, saying, "Then we'll take advantage of Master Shen's reputation. We'll pay half the rent, thirty-six spirit stones, right?"

He carefully counted out thirty-six spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to Shen Xuan.

After putting away the spirit stones, Shen Xuan said, "We'll stay on the third floor, you can stay on the second floor, and we'll keep the first floor for receiving guests. Is that alright?"

"no problem!"

Shen Xuan took out the access token and had the four people infuse their aura into it.

"From now on, the four of us can come and go freely. No one else is allowed to open the access control."

Zhao Chunsheng suddenly hesitated and said, "Master Shen, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

He seemed unable to say it, and turned to look at Jiang Xueqi beside him.

Jiang Xueqi gritted her teeth and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Master Shen, you're a good person. My husband and I have benefited from your kindness. Logically speaking, we shouldn't make such unreasonable demands. However..."

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

“We have two children. We can’t move into a second-class mansion and leave them crammed into the apprentice’s quarters.”

So that’s it!
"Then let them move in too."

Shen Xuan didn't take it to heart.

Each floor has four bedrooms and two living rooms, so having two more teenagers wouldn't be a problem.

"Master Shen, your kindness and virtue are beyond words, Zhao Chunsheng will never forget. Please do not hesitate to give me any instructions!"

Zhao Chunsheng's tearful expression made Shen Xuan feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, stop being so dramatic! I can't stand you!"

Shen Xuan shook his head and pulled Ding Yuyao to the third floor to check the room.

Behind her, Jiang Xueqi also had tears in her eyes.

"It's just sharing a second-class mansion, is it really that big of a deal?!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

However, he soon figured out the key to it.

Poor parents in the world!

Zhao Chunsheng and Jiang Xueqi have been working hard for their two children's future, wanting to provide them with better conditions.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to compromise himself and settled in a Ding-class residence.

It's not that I don't want to move to the best mansion, it's just that I lack spirit stones.

The two families are sharing the apartment, except that Shen Xuan is the only additional cultivator present.

In fact, the Zhao family reaped most of the benefits of the second-class mansion.

In effect, this was equivalent to giving Zhao Chunsheng seventy or eighty spirit stones a year.

How could he not be moved to tears?

It should be understood that cultivators are more focused on self-interest than ordinary people, and the level of trust between them is extremely low.

Zhao Chunsheng and his wife aren't stupid.

It's normal to make a profit by buying monsters and selling talismans, after all, Zhao Chunsheng put in the effort.

The Ding family offered a discount on renting a Class B mansion, entirely because of Shen Xuan's influence.

The number of cultivators from the two families was one to four.

No matter how you look at it, the Zhao family has gotten the better deal in this shared rental of a second-class mansion.

Zhao Chunsheng and his wife were extremely grateful.

Shen Xuan suddenly turned around and said something to them.

"Let's make this clear beforehand: the Spirit Pool belongs to me, so don't touch it. The Spirit Plant Garden belongs to you two!"
