It only costs thirty-six Spirit Stones for the couple to move into a second-class mansion and continue their cultivation.
This is like a pie falling from the sky!
As for Shen Xuan and his wife.
Ding Yuyao is a mortal and hardly uses the cultivation resources of the second-class mansion.
Shen Xuan is a Talisman Master at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer.
Compared to Zhao Chunsheng at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer and Jiang Xueqi at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, they are completely unmatched.
"This... doesn't feel quite right."
Zhao Chunsheng rubbed his hands, his eyes showing a hint of embarrassment.
This deal was excessively favorable.
He had just taken a Middle Grade Detoxification Pill, cleansing the remnants of the toxin completely.
That Middle Grade Detoxification Pill was given to him free by the Ding Family, on account of Shen Xuan.
Despite his usual thick-skinned nature, he felt somewhat guilty towards Shen Xuan.
"Let's go have a look first."
"Master Shen is right, husband, let's go take a look together!"
Jiang Xueqi spoke at the right moment.
Master Shen used a Communication Talisman to contact Uncle Ren.
Under the guidance of Uncle Ren, the four of them eagerly viewed the second-class mansion.
There were five vacant second-class mansions.
In selecting a mansion, Jiang Xueqi and Ding Yuyao appeared evidently more excited.
Upon entering the second-class mansion area, Shen Xuan, Zhao Chunsheng, and Jiang Xueqi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The clusters of Spiritual Qi floating in the air were absorbed into their bodies, refined into strands of Spiritual Power, at a speed ten times faster than in the Ding-level residence area!
Inside Shen Xuan's dantian.
Strands of emerald-green Spiritual Power spread out, flowing through the internal organs like the vast sea, waves surging endlessly.
This was merely within the second-class mansion area.
If it were in the Practice Room of a second-class mansion, with a dedicated Spirit Vein supplying Spiritual Qi, the speed would be...
No wonder, any Loose Cultivator with some ambition would go to great lengths to gather Spirit Stones to move into a suitable cultivation venue.
The Practice Room of a second-class mansion meets the standards of a Tier One upper-grade venue.
In the market outskirts, the concentration is only one-tenth of that here.
And in the slum area outside, they only get some scattered Spiritual Qi dissipated from within.
Without a venue, even dreaming of cultivation progression is futile.
Struggling at the bottom layer a lifetime, at most reaching the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation, is the real life of most Loose Cultivators!
Fortunately, Shen Xuan has the Mysterious Jade Talisman, capable of seizing Demon Beast talents, constantly enhancing his Spirit Root talent, with a bright path ahead!
The four tirelessly inspected all five second-class mansions before settling on Mansion 36 of the second-class series.
"Master Shen has a keen eye! This mansion is already very close to the core area of the first-class, and the Spiritual Qi is relatively denser than the other mansions."
"A standalone compound, it also has a Spirit Pool inside, planted with some Spiritual Lotus, perfect for a water cultivator like Master Shen!"
As for Zhao Chunsheng and his wife, a pair of Demon Hunters, they seemed insignificant in Uncle Ren's eyes.
Shen Xuan was quite satisfied.
"Let's go, have a look inside!" Uncle Ren took out the access Jade Token.
The defense array recognized the Jade Token information, opening quietly and slowly.
"In the future, as long as you input your aura into the Jade Token, you can freely enter and exit."
Each second-class mansion is over two miles apart and equipped with a Tier One upper-grade defense array, impenetrable even to the Divine Sense of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Moreover, the mansion area is enormous.
Not only is there a private backyard, but also a supporting Spirit Pool and Spirit Plant Garden.
Every second-class mansion is comparable to a small castle.
"Wow, so many rooms!"
Entering the inside of the second-class mansion.
Ding Yuyao and Jiang Xueqi couldn't suppress their inner joy, eagerly inspecting the interior buildings.
Excluding the basement, there are three floors, each floor having four rooms and two halls.
Two Practice Rooms are set up.
Although lacking a Spirit Gathering Array, the Spiritual Qi concentration inside is sufficient for cultivators at the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.
"Master Shen, let's check upstairs." Uncle Ren took Shen Xuan to the second floor.
The structure is similar on each floor.
However, on the third floor, there's a small terrace, overlooking the entire Cyan Dragon Bay Market.
"Let's check the Spirit Pool!"
In the Spirit Pool, some ordinary Spiritual Lotuses sway gently in the wind, presenting a unique charm.
Standing beside the Spirit Pool, Shen Xuan was greeted by the refreshing water Spiritual Qi, feeling an indescribable pleasure.
Near the Spirit Pool is a small Spirit Plant Garden, planted with some common Tier One Spirit Plants.
"Let's choose this mansion." Shen Xuan was very pleased.
The Spirit Pool was what he valued most.
The more water there is, the more secure he feels.
"Alright!" Uncle Ren skillfully handed over the access Jade Token.
"The homeowner's name is Zhao Daoist's."
"Ah!"
Uncle Ren hesitated for a moment but ultimately registered Zhao Chunsheng as the homeowner per Shen Xuan's request.
Shen Xuan took out seventy-two Spirit Stones, paying a year's rent in advance.
After Uncle Ren left, Shen Xuan returned to the second-class mansion, where the two women were chatting excitedly.
Women tend to be more obsessed with the quality of the housing.
"The deal's done. Seventy-two Spirit Stones a year, the homeowner is Zhao Daoist, and I paid a year's rent in advance."
Jiang Xueqi happily shook Zhao Chunsheng's arm.
"Husband, when are we moving?"
"Wife, calm down, you're giving me a headache."
Zhao Chunsheng rubbed his hands and turned to Shen Xuan, saying: "Then we'll take advantage of Master Shen. We'll cover half the rent, thirty-six Spirit Stones, right."
He carefully counted out thirty-six Spirit Stones from his Storage Pouch and handed them to Shen Xuan.
After taking the Spirit Stones, Shen Xuan said: "We'll live on the third floor, you'll live on the second floor, and the first floor can be used for receiving guests, is that alright."
"No problem!"
Shen Xuan took out the access Jade Token and had the four of them input their auras into it.
"From now on, the four of us can enter and exit freely. Besides that, no one else is allowed to open the access."
Zhao Chunsheng seemed hesitant as he suddenly spoke: "Master Shen, there's something I'd like to discuss with you?"
He appeared somewhat at a loss for words, turning to gaze at Jiang Xueqi beside him.
Jiang Xueqi bit her lip, looking slightly embarrassed, and said: "Master Shen, you're a good person. Our couple has benefited from you. Ideally, we shouldn't ask for anything more. But..."
"Just say it directly."
"We have two children. We can't move into the second-class mansion and leave them cramped in the apprentice dormitory."
So that's it!
"Then have them move in as well."
Shen Xuan felt indifferent.
Each floor has four rooms and two halls, accommodating two extra teenagers is no issue.
"Master Shen, Zhao Chunsheng is eternally grateful for your immense kindness. If you ever need anything, just ask Zhao!"
Zhao Chunsheng looked like he was moved to tears, making Shen Xuan a bit uncomfortable.
"Daoist Zhao, stop being so melodramatic! I really can't stand you!"
Shen Xuan shook his head, pulling Ding Yuyao to the third floor to inspect the rooms.
Behind them, Jiang Xueqi's eyes were similarly glistening with tears.
"It's just renting a second-class mansion together, is that such a big deal!"
Shen Xuan thought to himself.
However, he soon realized the crux of the matter.
Pity the hearts of all parents!
Zhao Chunsheng and Jiang Xueqi have always been striving for the best path for their two children, wanting to give them better conditions.
For this, they didn't hesitate to endure hardship, settling in a Ding-level residence.
It's not that they didn't want to move to the best mansion, but they really lacked Spirit Stones.
Renting together only adds one cultivator, Shen Xuan, to the family.
In actuality, the Zhao family takes more than half of the benefits from the second-class mansion.
In effect, it's equivalent to giving Zhao Chunsheng seventy or eighty Spirit Stones a year.
How could that not move him to tears?
It's well known that cultivators value benefits even more than mortals, with mutual trust at a very low level.
Zhao Chunsheng and his wife aren't fools.
Purchasing Demon Beasts, selling Talismans, earning a bit of price difference is normal, after all, Zhao Chunsheng did contribute.
Renting the second-class mansion at a discount due to the Ding Family was entirely because of Shen Xuan.
The number of cultivators in both families is a ratio of one to four.
No matter how you look at it, with this shared rental of the second-class mansion, the Zhao family is getting the better deal.
Gratitude filled Zhao Chunsheng and his wife's hearts.
Shen Xuan suddenly turned around and said to them.
"Just to be clear, the Spirit Pool is mine; don't mess with it. The Spirit Plant Garden is yours!"
