The Only Male Emperor in a Female-dominated World

"I want to buy a mansion in a remote location. Is there one?"

After Chen Lingjun finished speaking, the smile on the servant's face became even wider.

Big business.

The commission from a mansion is equivalent to her income for three years.

"Yes, of course, please follow me."

The servant walked out the door and said, "Just call me Xiao Li."

She took Chen Lingjun through the market and turned three corners.

On the way, Chen Lingjun said, "Xiao Li, what is the situation in Guqi City? Tell me about it."

"In Guqi City, there are two forces, the Bi family and the He family."

"These two families have been fighting for tens of thousands of years. Both families have Nascent Soul Realm masters, and there are more than one."

"Basically speaking, all the businesses in the city are controlled by the two major families, including the house we are going to see later, which is the business scope of the Bi family." Xiao Li has already memorized the situation in the city.

Chen Lingjun was puzzled, "What about the imperial court? Don't they care?"

Xiao Li laughed, "It is said that all the actions and businesses of the two families are controlled by the imperial court. This is no longer a secret in the city."

"That's it."

After they walked for half an hour, a luxuriously decorated mansion appeared before them.

The mansion is located on the riverside, with no houses around it. Occasionally, only fishing villagers pass by by boat.

"Sir, this place is backed by a river, has beautiful scenery, but is located in a remote area, and no one has come for several years."

Xiao Li pushed open the door of the mansion and introduced, "It meets the requirements very well. What do you think?"

Chen Lingjun’s spiritual sense enveloped the mansion.

The mansion is a standard five-courtyard quadrangle with complete furniture.

The backyard also has a garden.

"Yes, how much is this mansion for?"

Chen Lingjun was very satisfied. Not only was the environment beautiful, but it was also sparsely populated and would not disturb his practice.

"Guest officer..."

"My surname is Wu."

"Mr. Wu, I'll give you a 10% discount. How about 1,200,000 spirit stones?" Xiao Li asked nervously.

"One million and two hundred thousand spirit stones..."

Chen Lingjun folded his arms.

He doesn't have many spirit stones on him.

Together with the storage ring seized from the bandits a few days ago, there were only over 70 million low-grade spirit stones and 50,000 medium-grade spirit stones in total.

One million and two hundred thousand is already a considerable amount.

Seeing Chen Lingjun was hesitant, Xiao Li quickly spoke up, "Mr. Wu, after you buy the mansion, all the land within a three-kilometer radius will be yours. Don't miss this opportunity."

"That's fine."

Chen Lingjun nodded, counted out 1.2 million spirit stones and handed them to Xiao Li.

"Help me complete the formalities as soon as possible. I will move in tonight."

"No problem, Mr. Wu, you can move in now. I'll bring you the property certificate and documents later."

Xiao Li was overjoyed, "Here is the key, keep it safe."

Chen Lingjun took the key.

After sending Xiao Li away, Chen Lingjun spread his spiritual awareness and carefully observed every corner.

After making sure there was no danger, Chen Lingjun came to the vicinity of the mansion, took out the spirit stones and placed them in a circle.

Then at each corner, they are arranged into complex patterns.

As the last spirit stone fell, a curtain of light appeared around the mansion.

In this way, a simple defensive formation was completed.

If someone breaks in, he will know it immediately, unless a more advanced formation master breaks the formation.

Thinking of formations, Chen Lingjun planned to join the Formation Association when he had time and learn more about formations.

Otherwise, the 2000 system coins will be wasted.

"Ding! System mission released: Become a Level 2 Formation Master within three months."

Well, I have no choice but to go now.

Next, Chen Lingjun spent another three hours setting up a first-level spirit gathering array in the bedroom.

Although the effect is not satisfactory, it is better than nothing.

With his current level of cultivation, a spirit gathering array of at least level four would have a noticeable effect.

Xiao Li also completed the property documents and formalities, and thoughtfully brought servants to clean the mansion from top to bottom.

At night, Chen Lingjun lay in the bathtub, enjoying this rare leisure time.

Tomorrow, he would go to the city to seek the conditions to break through to the second-level formation master.

The knowledge instilled by the system only includes various first-level formations, and there is no record of how to break through to become a second-level formation master.

In the face of system tasks, everything else has to take a back seat.

The next morning, Chen Lingjun came to the Treasure Pavilion.

"Excuse me, do you have any books on formation knowledge for sale here?"

The waiter was a handsome man in uniform. "Of course, sir, please follow me."

The waiter took Chen Lingjun to the third floor where books were sold and took out two books from the glass display stand.

They are "Complete Explanation of Formations" and "Encyclopedia of Formations" respectively.

"Sir, these two books just meet your needs."

Chen Lingjun took the "Complete Explanation of Formations" and glanced through it. It was all about the basic knowledge of formations, which was just right for a newbie like him.

"how much is it?"

"The price of 'Complete Explanation of Formation Techniques' is 7000 Spiritual Stones, and the price of 'Encyclopedia of Formation Techniques' is Spiritual Stones in total."

"So expensive." Chen Lingjun was surprised.

Logically speaking, such basic knowledge of formations should not be so expensive.

"Sir, you may not know that the relevant formation knowledge is strictly controlled by the court and the big families, so the price is slightly higher."

The waiter smiled and answered questions patiently.

Chen Lingjun had no choice but to grit his teeth and pay.

"Damn it, I should have read more formations when I was in the Sword Sect."

He regretted it so much, blaming that idiot Chen Yanran for causing him trouble all the time.

After walking out of the Treasure Pavilion, Chen Lingjun still felt pain in his flesh.

That’s 16,000 spirit stones. I wonder how many corpses I have to touch to make my money back.

"It's still early, buy something before going back."

Guqi City is indeed an important city outside Fengdu, with a wide variety of snacks.

Grilled snake skewers, boiled tiger penis, and even an alien version of fruit salad.

Chen Lingjun was overjoyed and bought them all.

Little did he know that someone had already been eyeing him.

"Big sister, that man just came out of the Treasure Pavilion and bought so many things. He is definitely a rich man."

In the corner, five women were gathered together to plot.

The leader is called Geng Fei, who is at the fifth level of spiritual realm and makes a living by robbery.

Geng Fei frowned slightly, "Have you checked it out? He can't be the son of some big shot from the Bi family or the He family."

"Don't worry, big sister, I have all the sons of those big shots in mind, there is no such person."

Hearing this, Geng Fei's eyes revealed a lustful look, "Then tonight, we sisters will have some meat and make some money."

Two hours later.

"Dad, why hasn't he finished shopping yet?"

"It's coming soon."

Six hours later,

The five people's feet were numb, but they saw Chen Lingjun still tirelessly shopping everywhere.

"Damn it, is this man a starving ghost? He bought so much food, can he finish it?"

"Be patient, sister, wait a little longer."

Geng Fei didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt the man glanced in their direction.
