I am a living immortal.

The two bargained but couldn't reach an agreement.

The agent said with a veiled look, "How about this? You buy this little courtyard. I'll give you a good price. How about you redecorate it and it'll all be yours. What do you think?"

"Buy it?"

"how much is it?"

Su Mu thought that if the price was right, it wouldn't be a bad idea. After all, he was short of money and couldn't afford good things, but he didn't want to settle for bad things either. If the price was right, he would buy it.

"How about fifty-five taels? As you can see, no one has rented this place for a long time. It's better to sell it than to leave it empty." The broker carefully reported a number.

"It's too expensive! Thirty taels, not even one tael more. Let's look somewhere else."

The broker said with a bitter face, "Forty-five taels is too low. This house may be a little off the beaten path, but it's a legitimate property with a title deed and land deeds, and it's also registered with the government. Your price is really too low."

The main reason was that the agent also wanted to make this deal happen. This courtyard was remote and needed major renovations. Rich people didn't like it, and poor people couldn't afford it, which was awkward. Su Mu happened to have some money, but not much.

This house was simply made for Su Mu.

In the end, the two of them bargained and reached a deal at a price of twenty-seven taels, which made the broker feel a little amused and helpless.

It is true that this is not an urgent need for Su Mu, but the broker really wants to sell the house. Since he has a weak point, he has to squeeze it hard and finally negotiate this price.

In fact, he also made a profit at this price.

After all, if it's empty for a few years, no one will buy it, so it's better to sell it at a low price and make more or less profit.

When Su Mu saw the broker readily taking out the land deeds and house deeds, fearing that he would regret it and knowing that the broker was well prepared, he realized that the price was still too high and could be lowered, but he didn't want to argue anymore.

This is the first house in the world that I bought in full.

Although it is tattered, it is a new starting point.

It needs to be cleaned up, otherwise it will be uninhabitable. Fortunately, Su Mu is not an ordinary person.

The old goat could eat these weeds, but it probably wouldn't be enough for him alone.

As for the dust.

Close your eyes and lightly tap your feet on the ground.

With a loud "Bang!!!", even the old goat that was eating was shaken off the ground with its limbs. Fortunately, it was emotionally stable and chewed the dry grass with an expressionless face.

Su Mu controlled the trembling very well within the courtyard, and ordinary people could not detect it at all.

This shook all the dust in the courtyard into the sky.

Then Su Mu uttered two words softly: "The wind is coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, a breeze rose from nowhere, curling up the dust and gathering in front of Su Mu. The ball of dust became more and more solid and heavy, until all the wind dissipated into the sky.

This is the simplest way to use Qi to connect heaven and earth. It can only disturb a small area. It needs to be improved. When it can disturb the weather and change the weather, this method will be truly successful.

There is a long way to go.

It is still a bit far to build a bridge connecting heaven and earth, but Su Mu is not discouraged. She is content with what she has.

Look, after a few hours of cleaning, the house inside and out was much cleaner, and even the stale smell disappeared.

He stretched himself and chopped up all the broken chairs and benches in the house so that they wouldn't be wasted as firewood.

Looking at this empty main house, no wonder no one wants it. Nothing here is good. It needs to be purchased new and decorated. He also needs to put up a few calligraphy and paintings. Then he can be called a literati.

I looked up at the sky, it was still early.

It's a good opportunity to go to the city and find a carpenter to customize some furniture and some necessities. As for reinforcing the house, that's all nonsense. It's obvious that not many people have been to this house.

The broker certainly wouldn't understand the details and would just think it was normal after all these years.

Even though it looked shaky, he couldn't really fall. The load-bearing pillars he knocked on were surprisingly strong.

Looking young has its advantages and disadvantages, but it can also be deceptive.

He walked out of the house and said to the goat, "You take care of the house. I'm going to go out and find someone to order furniture and buy some bedding and decorations."

The old goat bleated and continued to eat.

Looking at its appearance, I haven't treated it badly. It looks like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Su Mu paused the moment he walked out of the door, and suddenly looked in one direction. He felt a gaze, which disappeared in an instant. He shook his head, closed the door, and disappeared on the street.

…………

The courtyard that Su Mu bought is a little out of the way, but there are still some residents. It's in the geographical location, or what is often called supporting facilities, not that it's deserted. If it really is deserted, it would be better to just build one yourself instead of buying one.

Therefore, there are basically no vacant rooms among the dozen or so households on both sides.

But there was one courtyard that was different from the others. It was at the end of the alley, separated from Su Mu by five or six households.

The gate of this courtyard is crooked and locked with a copper lock. You can vaguely see inside through the gap in the gate.

The environment inside was even more exaggerated than the one Su Mu bought. The weeds were probably as high as an adult's waist, and there was no end in sight for the lush green. In the weeds, there was a house that had long collapsed. It could no longer be called a house. Only a carbonized frame remained. It looked like it had been burned into this state by a fire, and it had been abandoned for a long time.

You can still hear a hissing sound at night, which is extremely scary.

This has also caused the adults in this area to repeatedly warn their children not to go near this place.

"A legend in the city."

"Back then, this family was caught in a fire and no one survived. As a result, their wronged souls became evil spirits and have been imprisoned here ever since, refusing to reincarnate."

“This has led to the area being abandoned to this day.”

Su Mu looked at the old carpenter in front of him with a helpless look on his face: "You are really well-informed."

"That's right!" The old carpenter breathed hard after being praised by Su Mu.

"I've been a carpenter in Yuannan for over thirty years. I've been here since the previous dynasty. Every household here has asked me to make furniture for them. Even the Chu family has custom-made furniture for them. How could I not know what's going on in Yuannan?"

"Yes, yes! Then this is too expensive."

"Expensive? My craftsmanship is worth this price. Do you still want it?"

"Yes! I bought this entire set of tables, chairs, and benches from you, so just give me a fair price!"

"Great! If it suits my taste, then I'll give you a price: two taels of silver. Give me three days and I can carve it however you want!"

"make a deal!"

Su Mu was holding two calligraphy and paintings in her hands and was ready to go back to decorate them. Of course, they were not from famous artists, but she bought them from a roadside stall. She bought them because they looked good. The scholar who sold the calligraphy and paintings also said that the two calligraphy and paintings would definitely appreciate in value in the future. Whether they appreciated in value or not was another matter, but they were nice to look at.

Then he asked the scholar where he could buy furniture.

While bargaining with the old carpenter, I also heard a strange legend.
