Simulation: My family's financial situation is infinitely improved

Chapter 148 [Number 12 on the Nascent Soul Battle Power Ranking, Settled in Lingyun City]

"The Universe Ranking has been updated. A powerful individual who cultivates the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements and practices the Hunyuan Yiqi martial arts has been listed. He is called the Hunyuan Sword Master by the Universe Ranking and is ranked 12th on the Nascent Soul Battle Power Ranking."

"You just discovered that after the battle, the Di Ting Pavilion went into the starry sky to collect the imprints of the battlefield rules and restored the battlefield scene. This martial arts expert, with the cultivation level of the first level of the Nascent Soul, fought alone against a fifth-level Nascent Soul and two ninth-level Nascent Souls, and directly suppressed the three of them."

"The combat power of masters in the Nascent Soul Realm is already unimaginable, not to mention that these three Nascent Soul masters are from a large organization like Xuanyuan Pavilion. I didn't expect that they would be defeated by this mysterious martial arts expert with a single sword strike. It's truly terrifying."

"There's such a powerful person out there! Who bought the stone that captured this battle? Please share it with me! Urgent!"

"I think the most terrifying thing about this Hunyuan Sword Master is not that he killed a powerful warrior of the same realm with one sword, but that he survived the hands of a great master of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and successfully made it onto the list. This is much more difficult than killing three masters of the same realm."

Yixing, Lingyun City, Dongzhou.

Lin Heng, who escaped from the hands of the Divine Transformation cultivator, hid his origin, changed his appearance and body shape to become the elder brother of the Divine Fire brothers, Divine Fire, and walked on the street in a green shirt.

I heard several shop owners gathered together in the distance, talking and discussing the battle that had happened to them not long ago.

There was also a cultivator who bought a photo stone and showed it, playing the battle scene of Lin Heng suppressing three Nascent Soul Realm masters.

Although it was impossible to display the aura of the rules of heaven and earth in the battle between the two sides, the terrifying light and shadow effects were enough to let these low-level cultivators understand how powerful the fighters were.

"Hunyuan Sword Master is so powerful, yet he's only ranked 12th on the Nascent Soul Battle Power Ranking. I wonder what kind of abilities the top eleven masters have."

A young monk exclaimed.

"Little friend Zhang, you have only been practicing for a short time, but you don't know that there are many different types of cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation."

"Apart from the regular sorcerers like us who meditate and cultivate our energy, accumulate true essence and mana, and use magic to fight the enemy."

"There are also martial artists who excel at close combat, formation cultivators and talisman cultivators who are good at drawing on the power of the myriad laws of heaven and earth to bless themselves, alchemy cultivators who use alchemy methods to swallow many elixirs to bless themselves, weapon cultivators with numerous magic weapons, and beast taming cultivators with numerous spirit pets."

"If you reach perfection in one path, you can enter the top of the battle power rankings. If you want to reach the top of the battle power rankings, you must integrate all the great paths into one. Only then can you reach the top."

"The Lingyuan Mirror Master who currently tops the Nascent Soul Battle Power Ranking has amassed all the necessary skills to increase his combat power, including martial arts, magic, formations, talismans, elixirs, magical treasures, and spirit pets, to the utmost. This is how he managed to reach the top of the Nascent Soul Battle Power Ranking."

Next to him, a middle-aged monk explained with a smile.

The monk named Zhang suddenly realized.

On the side, Lin Heng also smiled in his heart. These people's talk and discussion really maximized his emotional value.

Although he was very embarrassed by being chased by the Jindan cultivators of Xuanyuan Pavilion, it was not shameful after all. Being able to survive was already a highlight.

Next, as long as he practices normally to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul, it should not be difficult for him to enter the top five of the Nascent Soul combat power list.

If he could cultivate the "Infinite Golden Pill", even without other means, he would be confident that he would be invincible in the same realm and quickly break through to the God Transformation Realm.

According to the information obtained from the memories of the Yuanying masters of Xuanyuan Pavilion, the headquarters of Xuanyuan Pavilion is manned by strong people above the Yuhua realm holding Taoist weapons, but many of their branches do not have such strong strength.

The stronger branches are guarded by True Lords at the Enlightenment Realm, while the weaker branches only have cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Lin Heng is not strong enough at the moment, so he has to endure it for the time being.

When my cultivation level reaches a higher level, I will definitely make Xuanyuan Pavilion pay the price. At that time, I will start with these branches of Xuanyuan Pavilion.

The revenge for the annihilation of the Wushen Sect was too far away from Lin Heng, but the revenge for the assassination at the Xuanyuan Pavilion was real.

Thinking about these things, Lin Heng came all the way to the central city lord's mansion in Lingyun City, intending to buy a shop here to run the alchemy and refining industry.

After searching the souls of three Yuanying masters from Xuanyuan Pavilion, Lin Heng gained a better understanding of many common sense about Yi Xing.

Lingyun City was built on the location of the dragon ball of a spiritual vein called Feiyun Mountain. It gathered the essence of the entire spiritual vein and was managed by a business alliance called Feiyun Alliance.

This alliance has many powerful people and is also connected to a large sect called Tianying Palace. Under its protection, it has set up many large formations in Lingyun City and sent many powerful people to maintain law and order, so that mortals can live safely in this city.

Therefore, those who run businesses in this city need to pay certain taxes to the Feiyun Alliance.

When Lin Heng arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he was welcomed in by a monk in charge of reception.

This beautiful young woman in the Divine Sea Realm smiled and said to Lin Heng, "Hello, Senior. I am Fang Yaqi. May I know your name? What is the matter with you?"

According to the powerful technology in the world of immortal cultivation that can arbitrarily change and control the rules of heaven and earth, things like reception and shopping do not require people and can be done completely automatically.

In the days of the Huanyu Xian Dynasty, all shops were deserted. Many precious elixirs, magic weapons, and even Taoist instruments were casually placed in the shops for people to buy. There was also the Internet "Huanyu Network" that connected the entire universe to enrich the spiritual life of the citizens of the Xian Dynasty.

If it were in the era of the Universal Immortal Dynasty, it would not be much more difficult for Lin Heng to buy a store than to buy a drink from a vending machine.

But now, Yixing has entered a state of fierce competition among many competitors.

There is a lack of a powerful force like the Universal Immortal Dynasty that can dominate everything and form an absolute order. The once fully automatic and fully intelligent life can no longer be maintained, and the Internet connecting the entire universe has collapsed due to lack of maintenance.

Today, the monks have discovered that human power is still more effective.

After casting the mind protection spell, at least you won't be like a machine, being deceived and not knowing when something goes wrong.

Lin Heng glanced at the woman and replied, "Just call me Shenhuo. I'm planning to start a business selling elixirs and magic weapons. Do you have any recommendations, young lady?"

He unceremoniously pretended to be one of the brothers of the Divine Fire, and would continue to develop quietly under this identity.

Fang Yaqi showed Lin Heng a miniature map of Lingyun City, zoomed in on an area in the north of the city, and said with a smile, "Senior, this is the cave residence in the north of the city, built on the core spiritual vein of the Feiyun Mountains."

"There is the underground fire drawn from the depths of Yixing, and there is also the heavenly fire drawn down from the nine heavens."

"Whether it's refining pills or refining equipment, it's very convenient."

"In addition, the spiritual energy in the cave is also very rich. Senior, you are a Nascent Soul cultivator. The spiritual energy in the cave can fully meet your daily cultivation needs."

"This place is also close to the commercial street. We can definitely put up a sign to welcome customers and sell elixirs and magic weapons here. There's no need to buy an additional store."

Lin Heng nodded and said, "Not bad, what's the price?"

When Fang Yaqi saw Lin Heng asking directly about the price, she knew that this time there was a high probability of a big order. She quickly replied, "The land and buildings in Lingyun City are all property of the Feiyun Alliance, so they are only rented and not sold."

"If you want to settle down in the cave residence in the north of the city, you can only rent a cave residence."

"Based on the conditions of these cave dwellings, they are roughly divided into three levels. The first is a group cave dwelling, with five neighbors on one hilltop. The second is a solitary cave dwelling, with only one cave dwelling on each hilltop. The third is a mountain-group cave dwelling, with a small mountain range formed by several hilltops as a residence." "The price of a group cave dwelling is 10,000 spirit stones per year, a solitary cave dwelling is 100,000 spirit stones per year, and a mountain-group cave dwelling is 1 million spirit stones per year."

While introducing, Fang Yaqi showed Lin Heng the living environments of the three caves.

In terms of spiritual energy, the concentrations of the three caves are similar.

However, the fewer practitioners there are in an area, the more spiritual energy they can enjoy. The caves in the mountains are obviously more suitable for practitioners to practice.

In addition, the solitary cave has many spiritual fields that can be used to grow natural treasures. The spiritual fields attached to the caves in the mountains are even more spacious. If you are good at growing spiritual objects, you can make a profit every year just by growing natural treasures.

Obviously, the Feiyun Alliance encourages high-tech talents who have mastered the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals to settle in Lingyun City.

As long as they stay here and run their business, they can make a lot of money by collecting taxes every year.

"Then we need a cave house in the mountains. This place will be fine."

Lin Heng pointed to a cave in the mountains on the northern edge of Lingyun City and spoke.

Being close to the edge makes it easier to escape if something goes wrong.

"Alright, Senior Shenhuo, the minimum rental for the Cave Residence in the Mountains is ten years. If you rent it for a hundred years at a time, you can enjoy a 5% discount. How would you like to rent it?"

Fang Yaqi looked at Lin Heng and asked with anticipation in her eyes.

She hoped that Lin Heng would rent the property for a hundred years at a time so that she could get more commission at a time.

"Ten years' lease."

Lin Heng opened his mouth and took out a pile of ten million spirit stones.

Although he has a lot of spirit stones now and there is no problem in renting it for a hundred years at a time, this is not in line with the family background and temperament of the poor brothers Shenhuo.

If the Shenhuo brothers were really alive and had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, based on their wealth, they would be so poor that they would have to pay for everything. It would be impossible for them to be so generous as to spend nearly 100 million spirit stones at once to rent a cave.

At the very least, you need to leave some start-up capital to start the alchemy and refining business.

"Okay, I'll get it done for you right away, senior."

Fang Yaqi was shocked. She put away the spirit stone, then took out a jade talisman and began to enter information into it.

"Senior, this is your cave rental certificate. This is the key to control your cave formation. If anyone breaks into your cave without permission, you can kill them without mercy. Of course, you can't do it outside. If you have any personal grudges, you can go outside the city to resolve them."

"When the cave lease expires, you will have priority to renew the lease. If Lingyun City is unable to provide you with the cave lease service for various reasons, we will double the rent for the remaining years."

A moment later, Fang Yaqi handed Lin Heng a rental contract written on a golden page and a jade talisman that controlled the cave.

"Come on, Senior, I'll take you to your cave."

Seeing Lin Heng take it, Fang Yaqi said with a smile.

Lin Heng nodded, and then the two of them flew towards the north of the city.

A moment later, they had traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers before arriving in front of a towering mountain range.

This is Lin Heng’s cave residence in the mountains, which is composed of five giant peaks tens of thousands of feet high. The five giant peaks form a formation, relying on the spiritual veins under the peaks to isolate a private space with extremely strong defensive capabilities.

Inside this cave in the mountains, there is a spiritual lake and many spiritual fields, and many magnificent palace buildings are built on the top of the mountain.

Although there are a lot of weeds because it has not been taken care of for a long time, you can move in after a little cleaning.

"Senior, this is the place."

"Then I won't stay any longer. Goodbye."

After Fang Yaqi brought Lin Heng to the cave in the mountains numbered 66, she said goodbye and left.

After taking a look around, Lin Heng began to decorate this new home where he would live for a long time in the future.

The first thing to do is to change the formation around this cave in the mountains. In the past, when moving into a new home on Earth, one had to replace the anti-theft lock. The same applies now, to prevent someone from breaking in without knowing it.

After re-setting up the protective formation to ensure that masters in the Nascent Soul stage could not easily break in, Lin Heng began to arrange his residence.

He moved a palace that suited his preferences to the shore of the Spirit Lake, and then built a spirit gathering formation with it as the center, gathering as much spiritual energy as possible from the caves in the mountains to this residence to supply his own practice.

After doing all this, Lin Heng finally settled down.

"Next, let's start researching alchemy and weapon refining."

Lin Heng looked around at the brand new environment and whispered in his heart.

He had only heard of the two arts of cultivating immortality, alchemy and weapon forging, but had no actual experience at all.

But fortunately, there were many high-level cultivators whose souls he searched.

Xueyou's memories include memories of slaughtering all living beings to refine magic weapons. The Shenhuo brothers' memories include many memories of refining pills. Although the three Xuanyuan Pavilion cultivators have not studied refining pills and weapons, they have also studied many rules of heaven and earth.

Whether it is refining elixirs or refining weapons, it is inseparable from a deep understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.

These things can all be used as materials for Lin Heng to make progress in alchemy and weapon refining.

Coupled with Lin Heng's powerful talents of [Alchemy Master] and [Weapon Refining Skill], he will be able to quickly get started with these two skills and reach an extremely high level.

Next, Lin Heng closed his eyes, extracted the memories related to alchemy and refining, and began to comprehend them.

After completing his comprehension, Lin Heng began to try to refine elixirs and weapons.

Among his spoils of war were a lot of low- and medium-level miscellaneous items, which were perfect for practicing.

With this kind of concentration, Lin Heng made rapid progress, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Lin Heng had finally mastered the skills of alchemy and refining.
