Chapter 11 Let’s rent together (please add it to your collection)
Shen Ping felt full of accomplishment. Being able to reach the breakthrough condition so quickly was the result of his hard work every day and the effort of countless tonic ingredients.
Just saw the narrow room.
This sense of accomplishment suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Life is so barren.
What's there to be proud of!
Take a deep breath.
He walked towards the cubicle.
Meditate, make talismans... and begin a fulfilling but boring life every day.
Due to the dual-system spiritual root of gold and wood, it has been upgraded to the middle grade.
In addition to making talismans, practicing dual cultivation, and suppressing toxicity, he also had to spend some extra time to meditate and practice every day. The time that was not rich in the first place suddenly became scarce.
So Shen Ping moved an exercise during his lunch break to the evening, which meant that after each sexual intercourse, he could only rest for half a cup of tea before continuing.
“Once the toxicity is eliminated from the body, we can save an hour and a half every day.”
Shen Ping gritted his teeth and persisted.
In fact, if he gave up resting after late at night, he would still have plenty of time, but considering the mental state of his wife and concubines, he still put away such thoughts.
Fishing for water will destroy the ecological environment.
The days passed like this.
His Talisman experience and metal and wood spiritual roots have been slowly improving.
Since the death of the robbery cultivator, there have been no incidents in the alley near the Hongshi River, and everyone's life has gradually returned to its previous calm.
Mid June.
A large flying boat of the Jinyang Sect hovered over the edge of Fangshi, and a large number of monks filed out from it. These were recruited from Fangshi and Xiuzhen families in the area where the main sect was located, as well as Xiuzhen City.
Shen Ping took such a flying boat to Yunshan Swamp.
Twenty years of pioneering work.
This area has gradually been controlled by the Jinyang Sect. Almost every five or ten years, several groups of monks will be transported from the main sect.
Of course, more than 80% of the people who come to Yunshan Swamp are monks like Shen Ping with ordinary qualifications and no hope of building a foundation. The remaining 20% are ambitious people who want to break out of the world, and some come here to seek opportunities. Or establish a cultivation family and develop it.
The next afternoon.
While Shen Ping was making talismans in the cubicle, he heard the sound of strong spiritual energy coming from outside.
"I am the deacon of Jinyang Sect!"
"Everyone who is staying in the house comes out to show off!"
Shuashhua.
Rows of houses in Hongliu Lane were opened one after another.
Shen Ping also walked out of the house and his eyes fell on the deacon of the outer gate of Jinyang Sect not far away. Behind him was a group of patrolling monks. Those who can serve as city patrols need at least It takes seven levels of Qi training and good combat power.
A moment.
After the deacons of Jinyang Sect came out with their estimates, he said, "From today on, the annual rental fee of Hongliu Lane will rise to fifty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. Those who are short of it should quickly go to Fangshi Deacon Hall to make up for it. It has been advanced in advance. If you have paid rent for several years, it will be deducted according to the current increase in price.”
“Limited to half a month.”
"No waiting after the time limit."
Finished.
Deacon Jin Yangzong led the patrols while checking the wards and walked towards the next alley.
After they left.
Yu Yan immediately complained, "It's too cruel. It has risen so much all of a sudden. Hongliu Lane is not next to the main road. It actually costs half a middle-grade spiritual stone. It's hard for people to live." ! ”
The monks not far away also echoed.
“Yes, it has more than doubled, and it is almost catching up with the alleys near the main road.”
“The days to come will be even more difficult!”
"Oh, it's only a matter of time. A large vein of flame gold has been discovered in Yunshan Swamp. When the news spreads, more monks will definitely come here. In other areas, a mine can feed tens of thousands of monks!"
< br>“Yesterday’s batch of monks was just the beginning. In the future, there will be more and more.”
Listen to these discussions.
Shen Ping frowned.
If it was more than a year ago, he would have moved immediately without saying a word. How could he afford fifty low-grade spiritual stones per year? But now he can earn this amount with only four amulets. But even so he felt worried. Because there will be more monks in the city in the future.
When there are too many monks, chaos will inevitably occur.
Hongliu Lane belongs to the outskirts of Fang City.
The rent price has risen to fifty, and the Jinyang Sect will not increase patrols to protect this place.
“Friend Daoist Shen, do you want to pay the rent together?”
At this time.
Yu Yan next door invited.
Shen Ping came to his senses and nodded quickly. Every time he went out, it was a life and death test for him. With Yu Yan, a fifth-level Qi practitioner, by his side, his sense of security soared.
He immediately went back to the house to talk to his wife and concubines, then closed the door and followed Yu Yan to Fangshi. During the period, other monks saw this and joined the team.
Before reaching the main road, the team had increased to twenty or thirty monks.
There are many teams in other alleys just like them, all going to pay rent.
It is rare to pay rent for several years at once.
After all, no one knows when one will die.
Take the main road.
Everyone’s faces became much more relaxed, and some started chatting with each other.
When we arrived at Fangshi Deacon Hall, there were so many monks that they lined up in a long queue.
Shen Ping and the others can only line up at the back.
After waiting for more than an hour, it was almost evening before it was their turn.
Originally, he thought about going to Xiuchun Pavilion to sell the talismans in the storage bag and buy some materials, but in this case he gave up the idea.
Pay the rental fee.
After returning to Hongliu Lane, the team dispersed and went back to their houses.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, after all, Hongliu Lane is in the periphery and is not as safe as Fangshi. Do you want to consider renting together in Fangshi?”
Just as Shen Ping was about to go back to the house, Yu Yan spoke.
He looked startled.
Looking at Yu Yan's slightly pretty face and rather plump body.
Thoughts are running through my mind subconsciously.
But soon he laughed a few times and said, "Fellow Taoist, I still have wives and concubines to support. It's really inconvenient, and the price of houses in the city is probably going to rise a lot."
Finished.
Just push the door open quickly.
A voice of contempt immediately came to my ears, "You are so courageless, I am not even happy to let you sleep in vain."
Close the door.
Shen Ping was secretly relieved.
It's really terrible to be a widow living alone.
How dare he provoke it.
However, this fellow Taoist Yu proposed to rent together in Fangshi. It seemed that she had some savings. Maybe she really killed the robbery cultivator.
"Men, the rental price of houses in Hongliu Lane has increased. How about we move to Ningshui Lane next year, where the prices are very low."
While eating.
Bai Yuying suggested thoughtfully.
Wang Yun also echoed, "Yes, husband, you work hard all day long. Sister Yuying and I really can't bear it. We don't care if we live in poverty. As long as we can have our husband by our side, we will." I'm satisfied."
Shen Ping held his wife's wrist and said gently, "Don't worry, my husband is a middle-grade talisman master and can still afford to live in Hongliu Lane. Ying'er, you can't practice every day. If there is no spirit stone, just tell my husband. "
Ninshui Alley is already on the edge of the city. There are almost all low-level qi-training monks there. It is chaotic all the year round, and murders and looting of wealth occur every day. .
If he moves there, he may be able to protect his wife and concubines with the talisman seal, but it will also attract covetousness. He may not be surrounded by a group of monks when he goes out to sell the talisman seal one day.
After meal.
Shen Ping took out the communication talisman, poured in spiritual power to activate it and asked, "Shopkeeper Chen, what is the current rental price of houses in Fangshi?"
