Dark Immortal Cultivation

Qing is the Qing in Zhang Qing, and An is the An in Anquan.

The name of Qing'an Camp played a significant role in Zhang Qing's choice of the camp as his new base.

This place feels special to me.

That's what he thought.

The next morning, when Zhang Qing checked out, he asked the innkeeper and found a local broker.

He was new to the area and lacked knowledge about Qing'anji, so he needed an agency to help him rent a place.

The broker's name was Yang Laoqi. He was a lean man who was very warm and polite.

After understanding Zhang Qing's needs, he blinked, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "What a coincidence! I happen to have a suitable house on hand, and I can take you to see it right now!"

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

He was skeptical of what the real estate agent said, as they were often deceitful.

In his past life, Zhang Qing was cheated by unscrupulous intermediaries quite a few times!

Surprisingly, the house that Yang Laoqi showed him turned out to be quite reliable.

Like Xiaoshiji, Qing'anji is also divided into east and west sections by a long street. This house is located in the eastern section near the center.

And it's a suite.

In addition to the living room, the house also has a separate bathroom with a squat toilet and a proper kitchen.

The room is fully equipped with beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs, kitchenware, and more.

There are even large wooden tubs that can only be used for bathing!

The house is much larger than Zhang Qingyuan's previous residence, making it very suitable for a single person to live in.

He was quite satisfied with both the location and the overall situation.

Of course, the price isn't cheap.

"Pay in advance, move in later. Three months' rent is twelve dollars, plus a three-dollar fee..."

Old Yang counted on his fingers and said, "Fifteen coins in total!"

This is almost twice as expensive as the houses in Xiaoshiji.

Zhang Qing tentatively asked, "Can you make it cheaper?"

Yang Laoqi shook his head vigorously, saying, "To be honest, I work for the Changfeng Association. The rent and fees are fixed. It's either rent or not. If you want a cheaper option, we can offer it."

Seeing that the other party's attitude was very firm, Zhang Qing hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Alright."

You get what you pay for. He finally escaped the quagmire of Xiaoshiji and made a fortune, so it's necessary for him to improve his living conditions.

Living comfortably and freely will increase the efficiency of your spiritual practice!

"Don't worry, if you have any problems, just come to me."

Yang Laoqi, beaming with joy after finalizing the deal, patted his chest and said, "I know a lot of people around here; I can usually handle any small matter!"

Zhang Qing smiled but didn't reply.

He counted out fifteen large talisman coins from his storage bag.

To Zhang Qing's surprise, after receiving the money, Yang Laoqi actually took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote a rental contract for him on the spot.

Zhang Qing noticed that the contract even bore the seal of the Changfeng Association.

Is it that formal?

Yang Laoqi seemed to see through his thoughts and laughed, "Changfeng Society is very strict about rules. You'll know once you stay here for a while. I only got to live a peaceful life because of Changfeng Society."

Zhang Qing's heart stirred.

Because the emotions the other person showed at that moment were very genuine, not like they were acting.

In fact, you can tell from the standard contract in his hand that the Changfeng Society is indeed extraordinary.

In comparison, the Loyalty Society is really lacking in manners!

Zhang Qing secretly complained.

Out of curiosity, Zhang Qing asked about the Changfeng Association.

After all, he'll be staying here for a while, possibly one or two years, or even three to five years.

Yang Laoqi told Zhang Qing that there were three prominent forces in Qing'an Village, and Changfeng Society was one of them.

The Changfeng Society has nearly a hundred official members, and its sphere of influence is concentrated in the eastern part of the region.

Besides the houses for rent, the gang also owns several shops, including the inn where Zhang Qing had previously stayed.

Moreover, the main customer, Changfeng, is a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, with considerable strength and skill.

Changfeng is wealthy and powerful, and holds a position of second to first in the camp.

The gang members were treated very well.

When Yang Laoqi talked about it, he always showed an envious look.

In addition, the house Zhang Qing rented was right next to the Changfeng Society members' gathering place, so it was much safer.

Expensive reason.

Although Zhang Qing couldn't completely believe Yang Laoqi's claims about the Changfeng Society.

However, this gang is clearly dedicated to its business and is unlikely to act recklessly like the Loyalty Society.

that's enough.

After seeing Yang Laoqi off, he rolled up his sleeves and thoroughly cleaned the room.

They didn't even spare the gate.

Just as Zhang Qing was wiping the door panel with a rag, the door of the house across the alley suddenly creaked open.

A beautiful woman in a simple dress walked out gracefully, carrying a bamboo basket.

They happened to run into Zhang Qing.

"what?"

The woman in the white dress gasped softly, her eyes revealing surprise.

Zhang Qing was also surprised.

Judging from the other person's attire, she was actually a female cultivator!

In this world, the number of male cultivators far exceeds that of female cultivators.

When Zhang Qing lived in Xiaoshiji, there wasn't a single female practitioner among his neighbors in that alley.

Now that we've moved to Qing'anji, Kunxiu is right across the street.

You get what you pay for.

The woman in the plain dress composed herself and asked, "Excuse me, fellow Daoist, are you newly moved here?"

It's easy to distinguish between cultivators and ordinary people. Most cultivators carry storage bags around their waists, and their aura is also quite different from that of ordinary people.

However, it is not easy to judge a person's cultivation level without taking action.

Fellow?

This was the first time Zhang Qing had heard such an address, so he bowed and said, "I am Zhang Qing, greetings, fellow Daoist."

The woman in the plain dress smiled sweetly and returned the greeting gracefully: "My surname is Xu."

Zhang Qing possessed all of her predecessor's memories, so she was naturally reasonable and knew that the other party's self-introduction indicated that she was already married.

He smiled and said, "So it's Fellow Daoist Xu. It's a pleasure to meet you."

After exchanging a few polite words, Madam Xu took her leave.

Zhang Qing didn't pay any attention.

After finishing the cleaning, he locked the door and went for a stroll.

The main purpose is to familiarize myself with Qing'an Town.

Qing'an Market is larger than Xiaoshi Market, with more shops on the street. The market is quite lively during the day, with many cultivators setting up stalls and selling a wide variety of goods, most of which are of acceptable quality.

Since he was already there, Zhang Qing couldn't resist chopping off his hand once.

He didn't lack talismans and pills for the time being, so he mainly bought the meat of ferocious beasts.

After Zhang Qing's [Physical] attribute increased, his appetite also increased accordingly. In addition, he usually cultivated diligently, so his need for food also increased.

This expense cannot be saved.

However, the talisman coins in his storage bag were being spent like water, which put some pressure on him.

Fortunately, Zhang Qing's temperament is worthy of the word "open-minded". He was not crushed even after being a beast of burden for decades in his previous life, so this pressure is nothing to him.

He got home in the evening.

Just as Zhang Qingsheng was starting to cook and preparing his first meal in his new home, there was a gentle knock on the door.

He thought it was Yang Laoqi.

When they opened the door, they saw the woman from the opposite side standing side by side with a middle-aged cultivator in front of the door!
