Chapter 664: Leasing Spiritual Land
The inner city area of ​​Tianxing City, Tianxing Trading Company.

Qin Ming had previously heard from Yao Tiannan that Tianque Baolou belonged to this business name, and now he saw that it was indeed worthy of its reputation.

There are two long rows of shops along the street, all of which have the logo of Tianxing Trading Company hung on them. The various buildings have carved beams and painted rafters, flying eaves and brackets, demonstrating the style of a powerful force.

He walked to an antique attic with a plaque on it that read "Xianfu Pavilion" in large ancient seal characters.

Obviously, this place is where the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce rents out and sells spiritual caves.

Being able to obtain the qualifications to buy, sell and lease spiritual land in the human race's main city like Tianxing City shows that there must be an extremely deep background and strong financial resources behind the Tianxing Company.

Even ordinary refining sects cannot do this.

After Qin Ming stepped in, the space inside suddenly became clear. He discovered that the hall on the first floor was over a hundred feet in size, and there were already many cultivators of all kinds coming and going.

Many of them are monks wearing armor of various colors, which are the unique attire of the Star Guards, used to distinguish their respective realms and status.

The Star Guards clad in black iron armor are mostly cultivators in the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages, and are at the bottom of the Star Guard Army.

Even so, the Black Iron Star Guards have much greater power than ordinary cultivators, and they can still come here and choose a cave for free.

Most of the cultivators wearing bronze armor were at the Nascent Soul stage. When Qin Ming went to the Zhitian Palace before, he saw several bronze star guards who had reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.

On weekdays, he is usually responsible for the various major departments on duty, as well as guarding and patrolling the city.

However, with the celestial mirror monitoring the sky day and night, there are not so many patrolling monks on the streets.

The second is the Star Guards composed of silver-armored monks. Most of them are monks in the God Transformation Stage, and they have been strictly selected. They can be said to be the elite of Tianxing City.

Most of the captains of the Silver-Armored Star Guards are cultivators in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm or Great Perfection Realm who are capable of acting independently. No matter in terms of strength or cultivation, they are the best in this realm.

Baili Hui said that the big sects in the spiritual world were trying their best and spending their own money to send their geniuses to the Star Guard for training, but many people were unable to get the chance.

Above these are the Golden Armored Star Guards, who are cultivators in the Void Refinement Stage and are already high-ranking officials in the Immortal City. Most of the time, they are directing the country and giving orders.

Of course, since they enjoy generous salaries, these elders in the Nascent Soul stage will still take action personally when it is necessary.

According to legend, there are also generals of the Star Guard Army at the Purple Gold Holy Armor level, whose cultivation strength is even more mysterious and unfathomable, even above the ordinary Void Refining Stage.

In addition to these star guards, there were also many outside cultivators who came to the hall to purchase cave dwellings.

The female attendants, each with their own unique characteristics and graceful figures, shuttled between the monks, warmly entertaining the guests with a gentle breeze on their faces.

While he was watching.

A maid with a graceful temperament and cool clothes in pink, who was at the Jindan stage, came over with a professional smile and greeted him warmly and politely:

"This senior is here to invite you. Do you want to rent a cave? Or purchase a spiritual place?"

The woman also saw at a glance that although Qin Ming was plain-looking, his cultivation was unfathomable, and he must be a big customer.

Qin Ming glanced at the light curtain in the hall, on which various cave dwellings and spiritual places of various sizes were clearly shown. Unfortunately, all of them were marked as below level five.

It seems that they are all provided for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage to live in.

at this time.

A smart old man in gorgeous clothes walked out from the side hall behind the counter. He was the shopkeeper Cao that Qin Ming met on his way to Tianxing City.

"Ying'er, please step back."

"This senior will be received by me personally!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the cultivators in the hall stopped talking and their eyes fell on Qin Ming.

They were also very curious about the cultivator who could be personally received by Manager Cao, and wanted to see who he was. Unexpectedly, he was just an ordinary middle-aged cultivator with plain looks.

But when they sensed that the other party's cultivation was unfathomable, they all felt a chill in their hearts and looked away obediently, fearing to offend such a powerful cultivator.

"Oh! It turns out that Senior Li is here!"

"This spiritual cave is not worthy of you. Please go upstairs quickly. Let me recommend one to you!" Shopkeeper Cao had a smile on his face. He hurried over and greeted him with a bow.

Qin Ming nodded slightly, without saying much, and followed Manager Cao straight up to the third floor.

This floor also has a hall of about a hundred feet in size, but the furnishings inside are quite exquisite. Those who come here to purchase cave dwellings are all cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Stage.

There were only a few people there, and it was much quieter than the lobby on the first floor.

"Haha! I didn't expect that I would be able to meet Senior Li again so soon. It really is fate!" After Shopkeeper Cao welcomed Qin Ming into the third floor, he quickly ordered the maid to serve him the best spiritual tea.

"I would like to thank Senior Li for saving me last time. Otherwise, I would not be able to stand here, haha!"

"It's okay, it's just a coincidence. Besides, it was Lord Yao who did it." Qin Ming waved his hand indifferently.

Shopkeeper Cao still insisted, "If Senior Li hadn't appeared in time and used his divine thoughts to intimidate the group of bandits, we wouldn't have waited for the Star Guard of Tianxing City to take action."

After the two exchanged greetings.

Shopkeeper Cao also got straight to the point, "I guess Senior Li is here to purchase a cave residence or a spiritual place, right?"

"I don't know if you have any special requests. I dare not say anything else, but within the scope of Tianxing City, our Tianxing Company is the only one that can do this business."

"Even high-grade caves above level 5 are available for rent or sale."

"Then I'll have to trouble the shopkeeper to introduce me to one or two. I don't have any other requirements. I'm a spiritual plant master. If you want spiritual veins, even if you don't have a sixth-level one, it's fine. But because I need to plant spiritual plants, the area must be larger."

"In addition, Qin likes quiet places, so it would be best if the cave is located in a place where there are no other cultivators disturbing me." Qin Ming stated his needs.

He had thought it all out before he came. He came all the way to Tianxing City because he valued the security of the human race's main city, its huge intelligence network, and its abundant resources.

As for the spiritual land, Qin Ming’s possession of a small spiritual realm was actually enough.

However, the area near Tianxing City is suitable for him to stay and develop for a while. After all, he has offended the Saint Ancestor of the Demon Realm, so he won’t be chased to the main city of the human race, right?
After listening to Qin Ming's request, Shopkeeper Cao also showed a thoughtful expression, then stretched out his hand and waved forward.

A light curtain of a landscape painting suddenly floated out and appeared before Qin Ming's eyes.

The image of the spiritual vein near Tianxing City appeared out of thin air in front of Qin Ming in the form of a miniature version, and it was lifelike.

There are all kinds of mountains, rivers and lakes all over it, with strange peaks and ridges standing in rows, waterfalls flowing in the mountains, and the fairy air is misty and ethereal, just like a fairyland.

And the various caves and spiritual places are also divided in an orderly manner.

Above the light screen image, there are small red and green dots marked.

"Senior Li, please take a look. This area belongs to the Cangming Mountains in the Xingyue Wasteland on the north side of Tianxing City. It has spiritual veins of the fifth-grade or higher level. However, most of the spiritual lands and caves have been occupied by the Star Guards."

"However, not long ago, a team of silver-armored star guards were wiped out while on a mission, and the caves of three of them were reclaimed by the Immortal City, so three spiritual lands were vacated."

"One of the spiritual lands belongs to a Star Guard captain who is in the late stage of Spiritualization. It is located in the Thunder Mountain area here. It has a sixth-order lower-grade spiritual vein and a range of one thousand miles."

Shopkeeper Cao pointed to a sixth-grade lower-grade mountain range that was rich in spiritual energy and patiently introduced it one by one.

Such a precious place for spiritual practice is worthy of being used to establish a sect.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to repay Qin Ming for saving his life.

Therefore, right from the start, he showed Qin Ming the top-quality spiritual land that was only sold or leased within the Tianxing Trading Company.

Qin Ming held his chin and looked at the densely packed spiritual caves near the Cangming Mountains. It was obvious that this was where many high-level cultivators practiced, and they were either rich or noble.

Manager Cao also has good intentions. In this way, Senior Li will surely be able to make friends with higher-level people in Tianxing City.

However, Qin Ming did not reply in a hurry.

"Oh? An entire team of Silver-Armored Star Guards died? What happened?" Upon hearing the news, Qin Ming inquired calmly.

You should know that these silver-armored star guards are all the best among the Spirit Transformation Stage, and the strength of those captains is infinitely close to the Void Refinement Stage.

Even with such a lineup, they ended up being completely wiped out, which shows that something big must have happened.

On the other side of the table, Shopkeeper Cao did not hide anything from his benefactor, and immediately explained, "I also heard from the higher-ups that the Star Guards were really unlucky. They were said to have been sent to the wilderness to perform a scouting mission, but they actually encountered a sixth-stage late-stage wilderness beast head-on. You can imagine what happened to them. Alas! It's such a pity."

"The late sixth stage is equivalent to the late stage of refining emptiness for the human race. If the bloodline is special, maybe it can exert the strength of the fusion level." Qin Ming sighed after hearing this.

He was immediately very glad that he had made the choice not to accept the invitation from Elder Lin and Yao Tiannan to join the Silver Armor Star Guard Team.

Even though the chance of such an event occurring was only one in ten thousand, he avoided it perfectly.

This is stability.

……

Next.

Qin Ming looked at the shadow on the light screen, pondered for a while, and asked, "Manager Cao, is there any other spiritual place? This place is not suitable for Li to practice."

"It doesn't matter if it's a little off. The conditions for the spiritual vein grade can be relaxed a bit."

After listening to the other party's explanation, he suddenly felt that this place was rather unlucky and indeed not auspicious.
Shopkeeper Cao was also stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that this superior spiritual land that he carefully recommended was not favored by Senior Li.

So he thought about it and cast a spell again to change the image of the light screen of another spiritual place.

In an instant, several vast spiritual places appeared in front of Qin Ming.

The spiritual land here is not as full of immortal aura as before, and it also has its own unique characteristics.

Although it does not have the abundant spiritual veins like the Cangming Mountains, the spiritual land area is dozens of times larger.
"Senior Li, please take a look. These places near the Donghuang Mountains are the latest spiritual lands opened up by the human race. They are located in the eastern rear of Tianxing City, and all the wild beasts and monsters in them have been driven away. You can live here without worry."

A lush green mountain waterfall suddenly appeared in front of Qin Ming's eyes.
Soon, Shopkeeper Cao continued to introduce: "This place is Qingluan Peak, which has three fifth-grade high-quality spiritual veins, covers an area of ​​5,000 miles, and produces a kind of jade spiritual bamboo. It is also suitable for growing spiritual plants."

"The second is Linghejian, which has two fifth-grade high-quality spiritual veins. The scenery here is beautiful, and it is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round. It is the habitat of spiritual birds and cranes. As a senior, the cave is also quite good, which suits your temperament of a carefree cloud and wild crane."

"."

Shopkeeper Cao introduced them one by one very patiently. If it was someone else, he would definitely not do this, but the Senior Li in front of him was no ordinary person.

It would definitely be a good idea to make friends with a cultivator who even Yao Tiannan wants to win over.

He talked for a long time until his mouth was dry. After taking a sip of spiritual tea, he pointed to the last piece of spiritual land and said:
"This place is called 'Little Turtle Peak'. It has a fifth-grade upper-grade spiritual vein, but its geographical location is a bit remote and borders the wilderness. The human race over there has not yet opened up the wilderness, so Tianxing City has divided this place into an area of ​​10,000 miles."

"Several pieces of spiritual land around Xiaogui Peak have also been purchased. A family of Transformation Gods has settled down and thrived in the Wutong Mountain spiritual land to the north, while a casual cultivator has taken over the Yunmeng Mountain spiritual land to the south."

Qin Ming looked carefully and saw the clear outline of a mountain where Manager Cao was pointing. As he manipulated the image, it gradually became clearer and larger.

This Little Turtle Peak is really quite vivid, just like a giant turtle carrying the spiritual vein mountain cave on its back, and on top of the mountain are layers of stepped terraces.

"The Black Turtle Tuofeng is really quite interesting. Manager Cao, how much is the rental price for this spiritual land?" Qin Ming finally asked after pondering for a while.

When Manager Cao saw that Qin Ming was actually interested in this sacred land, he couldn't help but be surprised.

This senior Li's style of doing things is indeed unique and completely opposite to the thinking of ordinary people, making it hard to understand.
"Haha! Senior Li, the spiritual lands and caves of our company are all rented for a minimum of 100 years. To be honest, this piece of spiritual land on Xiaoguifeng has been uncultivated for hundreds of years and has never been visited. I didn't expect that Senior Li would take a fancy to it."

"The original rent for this spiritual land every hundred years was six hundred top-grade spiritual stones, but I can make the decision. In addition to the special discount I gave you with the purple gold VIP token, I can give you a 50% discount, which means three hundred top-grade spiritual stones every hundred years. What do you think?"

"It's so expensive." Even though Qin Ming was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the expensive rent.

This is many times more expensive than the Obsidian Peak in the Thousand Machine Poison Swamp.
"Haha! Senior Li should know that Tianxing City is one of the main cities of the human race. The spiritual land within its jurisdiction, even the marginal areas, are extremely valuable. I have given the greatest preferential treatment within the scope of my rights." Shopkeeper Cao explained with a smile.

Qin Ming nodded, what the other party said was true.

His original plan was to purchase the entire spiritual land outright, or at least rent it for a thousand years to farm and practice.

But now, it seems that the plan has changed.
"Okay, Li knows about it. I will rent this Little Turtle Peak for three hundred years. If there is a need, I will renew the lease." Qin Ming decided immediately.

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Cao smiled brightly and said, "No problem. I will handle the formalities for Senior Li right away. I wonder if you have obtained the Tianxing City identity badge?"

It wasn't all in vain after all the hard work. At least I managed to sell this difficult spiritual land, and I also returned a favor to Senior Li.

He was in a really good mood too.
Qin Ming immediately took out his identity badge and handed it to the other party.

After Manager Cao took the identity badge, he checked it first.

He couldn't help but sigh that this Senior Li was really capable as he obtained the identity badge so quickly.

After confirming that everything was correct, Manager Cao just pointed his finger and the Xiaoguifeng area on the light screen map in front of him turned into a point of emerald green light and fell into the nameplate.

Afterwards, he took out a jade slip and completed the registration, which meant that the spiritual land had been rented out. He then returned the identity badge to Qin Ming.

"Senior Li, from today on, the spiritual land in the area under the jurisdiction of Xiaogui Peak will be assigned to you. You can develop, use and manage it as you like within the next three hundred years. You can even start a sect or establish a family."

After Qin Ming took the nameplate and put it away, he took out a small bag of top-grade spirit stones and handed it to the other party.

However, due to his frequent trips between the human world and the spirit world, he had burned up most of the spirit stones. Of the more than one thousand top-grade spirit stones, only about one hundred and twenty were left.
Therefore, he took out a long jade box and handed it to Shopkeeper Cao, and asked calmly: "Shopkeeper, here are 120 pieces of top-grade spirit stones. For the remaining part, can I use these magic spike spirit rice to make up for it?"

"What?! Magic Rice?" Shopkeeper Cao showed a surprised expression.

As a member of the Tianxing Trading Company, he was well-known for this fifth-grade spiritual rice.

He was originally planning to repay the favor, but could it be that today he is the one who met the noble person?

Shopkeeper Cao suppressed his excitement and reached out to remove the seal on the jade box.

Instantly, an astonishing dark mist of light spread out, and three stalks of magic rice were seen lying intact inside, with plump and full grains of fifth-level spiritual rice on them.
"These are three complete stalks of fifth-level spiritual rice!"

"Senior Li, this magic rice is extremely precious! It can be said that even if you have spiritual stones, you may not be able to buy it."

"I will return all these spiritual stones to you. You only need these three spiritual rice plants as the transaction items."

After Manager Cao confirmed that everything was correct, he was afraid that the spiritual energy would dissipate, so he quickly closed the jade box, and then returned a jade slip and the bag of spirit stones to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming didn't hesitate and put away the spirit stone.

"This jade slip contains a map to Xiaogui Peak. When Senior Li arrives, he can use his identity badge to activate the restrictions of the spiritual cave."

"Okay, in that case, I'll take my leave."

"Haha! If Senior Li needs anything in the future, just come find me!"

After the transaction is completed.

Qin Ming said goodbye to Manager Cao and left, preparing to call his men to go take a look at the new cave.

……

……

And inside Tianxing Trading Company.

After sending Qin Minggong out of the store.

Shopkeeper Cao was still lingering in surprise for a long time, as if he was in a dream.

Not only did he rent out the Xiaoguifeng spiritual land, but he also received three extremely rare fifth-level magic rice plants.

This is a great achievement!
The higher-ups in the Chamber of Commerce would definitely count this as a significant achievement of his.

Just when Manager Cao was secretly rejoicing.

Suddenly there was a noise downstairs, and a group of people came up in a hurry.

A waiter hurriedly came to Shopkeeper Cao, bowed his head and said, "Shopkeeper, Lord Jiang Tian and his men have finished their mission on the front line, and there are several other newly promoted Star Guards who are coming to choose a spiritual cave. They will be upstairs soon."

"Ah? It's this person?" Shopkeeper Cao put away the jade box silently and said with a frown.

"Didn't they say that this person committed a serious crime and was banished to the wilderness frontier? Why is he back?"
