After speaking, Li Er finally reacted.
"By the way, Senior, are you planning a long-term or short-term stay?" Li Er asked.
"Long-term!" Zhang Xiaohao thought for a mont and said.
With his current cultivation, wanting to leave the Spirit Clan’s territory was no less than daydreaming.
The outside world was full of perilous lands and various terrifying demonic beasts and plants; without a certain level of cultivation for self-protection, going out would only lead to a dead end.
He was not reckless. During his stay in Ming Han Snow City, he would seize the opportunity to cultivate, striving to break through to the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible, then find a way to restore his physical strength. Once fully restored, he could use the Three Heads and Six Arms and Dharma Manifestation Heaven and Earth, those two great divine skills. By then, even surpassing levels to challenge others wouldn’t be a matter.
"Senior, if you want to live here long-term, there’s a great place in Ming Han Snow City. It’s the best place in the whole city, with dense nature’s spiritual energy. Cultivating there for one day is equivalent to a month, or even longer, elsewhere!" Li Er introduced.
"Oh? Is that so? What place is it?" Zhang Xiaohao asked curiously.
"Senior, this place is called Ming Han Mountain, located in the northwest corner of Ming Han Snow City. People from the City Lord Mansion and other major forces reside there! The higher you go on Ming Han Mountain, the denser the nature’s spiritual energy! Even at the lowest level, the density of nature’s spiritual energy is ten tis, even twenty tis, that of other places!" Li Er said.
"Such a good place, I suppose the price must not be cheap, right?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Ming Han Mountain is divided into eighteen levels, each with a separate price! The price for the first level is one hundred thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones per year! The price doubles for the second level, doubles again for the third level, and repeats like this until the seventeenth level! The highest place, the eighteenth level, is the City Lord Mansion and other official forces’ territory and is not open to the public!" Li Er explained.
"One hundred thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones? That’s certainly not cheap!" Zhang Xiaohao frowned and said.
If not for the nearly two hundred thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones Zi Wuling previously gave him, he probably wouldn’t be able to afford such a "luxurious" place.
"Senior, shall we head over?" Li Er asked cautiously.
"Never mind! Wealth is a worldly object; you can take there!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Yes, Senior!" Li Er said excitedly.
Imdiately, he took Zhang Xiaohao and hurried toward the northwest.
Four hours passed.
Li Er brought Zhang Xiaohao to stop at the base of a massive, snow-white mountain range. The entire range towered into the clouds, and even at its foothills, one could feel its abundant nature’s spiritual energy.
anwhile, the whole Ming Han Mountain was covered in a layer of white snow, and each level had countless caves, pavilions, and other dwellings for people to choose from.
"Senior, please wait here for a mont while I find the steward here." Li Er said.
"Alright." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
Using his Divine Thought, he swept it over the massive mountain range ahead.
Swish!
As soon as his Divine Thought touched the massive mountain, it was blocked by a powerful enchantnt force.
"Oh? It can even block Divine Thought? I must try to see if you can block my Three Pure Ones Scripture." Zhang Xiaohao said playfully with a smirk.
Then, he activated the Three Pure Ones Scripture and swept it over Ming Han Mountain.
Under the sweep of the Three Pure Ones Scripture, Zhang Xiaohao’s Divine Thought scanned over, starting from the base and moving upward.
This ti, he did not encounter any further obstacles and directly penetrated deep within the massive enchantnt, but could only advance a few hundred feet before being blocked by the enchantnt inside.
Even so, Zhang Xiaohao almost figured out the general situation of Ming Han Mountain.
The nature’s spiritual energy within was indeed very dense, ten tis that of the outside, or even more! Especially the higher up, the more exaggerated the density of nature’s spiritual energy was.
Besides, Zhang Xiaohao did not find any other useful information, obstructed by the complex enchantnts within.
Swish, swish!!
After a while, two beams of light flashed and stopped in front of Zhang Xiaohao.
The visitor was a fatty dressed in steward attire, who set Li Er down and looked at Zhang Xiaohao with a smile.
"I heard from Li Er that this fellow Daoist plans to rent a cave dwelling in Ming Han Mountain? I wonder which level you plan to rent on?"
"Could you give a detailed introduction?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Certainly! Certainly!" the fatty steward said.
"The first level starts from the left side, with the most expensive spots costing one hundred ninety thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones annually. From the middle position to the far right, it’s one hundred thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones per year, and it’s the sa for the second, third levels, and so on! I wonder which floor fellow Daoist plans to rent?"
"Hmm, is there a detailed map?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Please wait a mont." the fatty steward said.
With a single hand gesture, a map of Ming Han Mountain appeared before Zhang Xiaohao.
"All the places that are lit have residents! The dim places are vacant! Except for the eighteenth level, fellow Daoist can carefully choose among these."
"Alright." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
He started looking from the first level, and soon his eyes landed on the last spot on the far right of the first floor.
"How about this place?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"This is a cave dwelling, fully equipped. Even if fellow Daoist is inside doing Alchemy, Artifact Refining, or growing Spiritual dicine, you won’t be disappointed! Moreover, whether it’s caves or pavilions here, they’re all linked to the molten core fire; as long as you have enough Spirit Stones, the fla’s power won’t disappoint fellow Daoist!" the fatty steward explained.
"Great! I will choose this last cave dwelling," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"May I have your honored na, fellow Daoist?" the fatty steward asked.
"I am Xu Tianxing!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
The fatty steward clapped his hand, taking out a Token and engraving Zhang Xiaohao’s na on the last spot on the far right of the first level.
"A total of one hundred thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones!" the fatty steward said.
Though reluctant, Zhang Xiaohao still took out one hundred thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones and handed them over.
"Fellow Daoist is generous! Here is the Token, which you can use to open the cave dwelling, Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and so on! Keep it well! After a year, if you wish to continue residing, just give a command, and soone will wait outside your cave dwelling, so you won’t need to make another trip." the fatty steward said.
"Thank you very much!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
Then, he took out five lower-grade Spirit Stones and threw them to Li Er.
"This is your reward! The extra three Spirit Stones count as my tip to you."
After speaking, Zhang Xiaohao pointed with one hand, took out the Spirit Boat, tapped his foot, and rushed toward the cave dwelling ahead.
