Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Chapter 123 The Neighbor Opens a Shop

Following the flight path, Jiang Yun flew towards the interior of the Immortal City.

The entire Canglan Immortal City consists of thirty-six neighborhoods.

The area covered by these thirty-six wards is much larger than that of Maple Leaf City.

Because there are no strange threats in this world, each market town can be expanded indefinitely.

Therefore, the area of ​​the thirty-six wards of Canglan Immortal City is larger than that of the forty-nine wards of Maple Leaf City.

"Canglan Immortal City has thirty-six wards. The outer twenty-seven wards enjoy second-tier spiritual veins, while the inner nine wards enjoy third-tier spiritual veins."

"The inner nine wards are centered around the Seven Star Ward, with the other eight wards built around it."

"Go to Qixingfang and rent a cave dwelling. It's located in the center of Canglan Immortal City and has the most abundant spiritual energy."

Jiang Yun had a map of Canglan Immortal City in his hand, and following the map's guidance, he soon arrived at Qixingfang.

The Seven Stars Quarter is lush and vibrant with spiritual energy, and one can often see Core Formation and Pseudo-Core Formation cultivators on the streets.

Jiang Yun landed, his feet touching the ground of Qixingfang.

According to the rules, one cannot fly once outside the designated airspace, so he could only walk to the "Immortal City General Affairs Pavilion".

The so-called Immortal City General Affairs Pavilion is the organization that manages the entire Immortal City.

For matters such as renting a cave dwelling, you still need to go to the General Affairs Office to handle them.

Furthermore, this immortal city was jointly built and managed by the Qingyang Sect, Shouduan Mountain, and Yuxuan Sect.

Therefore, the General Affairs Pavilion is overseen by late-stage Core Formation cultivators from three major sects.

With these three late-stage Core Formation cultivators in charge, no one dared to cause trouble in the Immortal City.

Jiang Yun went straight to the General Affairs Pavilion, where he was greeted by a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Qingyang Sect.

"Ye Zhu, a disciple of the Qingyang Sect, greets Senior."

Seeing that Jiang Yun exuded the aura of a fake elixir, Ye Zhu respectfully bowed and said, "May I ask what brings you here, senior? This junior is happy to assist you."

Jiang Yun said, "I need to rent a cave dwelling in Qixingfang to stay in."

Ye Zhu was overjoyed upon hearing this. Renting a cave dwelling in Qixingfang was a big business opportunity.

"Senior, please follow me. I will take you to choose a cave dwelling."

After saying that, Ye Zhu led Jiang Yun to choose a cave dwelling in Qixingfang.

These cave dwellings are all nestled against mountains and beside water, and each cave dwelling occupies a small sacred peak.

However, the cave dwellings are very close to each other.

Therefore, no matter which cave you rent, you will have neighbors on either side.

Besides, most of the cave dwellings had already been occupied, so there wasn't much to choose from.

"This one will do."

In the end, Jiang Yun chose a cave dwelling.

This cave dwelling is nestled against the mountain and beside the water, with a small sacred peak behind it, and the environment is quite secluded.

"Senior, this is Lingqing Peak, which yields 6,000 spirit stones annually," Ye Zhu immediately introduced.

Jiang Yun pondered for a moment. Renting it for a year would cost six thousand spirit stones, which was actually quite expensive.

However, he did not bargain, presumably even if he did, Ye Zhu probably wouldn't be able to make the decision.

If we wait for the elders behind Ye Zhu to handle it, it might become even more troublesome.

"Alright." Jiang Yun finally nodded and said, "I don't have many spirit stones on hand. I'll rent it for five years first, and then renew it later."

Jiang Yun originally wanted to rent the property for thirty years at once, but he still understood the principle of not flaunting his wealth.

A five-year lease costs 30,000 spirit stones, no more, no less.

As he spoke, Jiang Yun took out 30,000 spirit stones and handed them to Ye Zhu.

"Senior, this is the Lingqing Peak cave dwelling token. Please keep it safe."

Ye Zhu beamed with joy. After accepting the 30,000 spirit stones, he immediately took out a token and handed it to Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun accepted the token and waved his hand, indicating that Ye Zhu could leave.

"Senior, please feel free to ask if there's anything I can do for you in the future." Ye Zhu bowed respectfully before returning to the General Affairs Pavilion.

Holding the token, Jiang Yun was able to move into the cave dwelling.

The cave dwelling is fully furnished with all kinds of decorations and looks very comfortable. Inside, there are separate cultivation rooms, alchemy rooms, and weapon-refining rooms.

After settling in, Jiang Yun did not immediately go into seclusion.

He left the cave, intending to wander around and familiarize himself with the surroundings.

In particular, you should at least know your two neighbors on the left and right, find out their backgrounds, and be prepared for any eventuality.

At this moment, the doors to the neighboring caves on both sides were tightly closed, and Jiang Yun did not see a single person.

Several days later, Jiang Yun saw that the door to his neighbor's cave on the left was open.

There sat a thin-faced old man in gray robes, sipping tea at a stone table in front of the cave entrance.

Judging from the aura emanating from the old man, he was a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation.

"Greetings, senior."

Jiang Yun was disguised as a fake Core Formation cultivator at this moment.

He stepped forward a few paces, stood at the edge of the formation, and cupped his hands, saying, "Junior Zhou Yun is new to Seven Star Workshop and has just rented this cave dwelling. I hope senior will take good care of me."

Upon hearing this, the old man raised his head and began to scrutinize Jiang Yun.

Then, he smiled, took a sip of spiritual tea, and slowly said, "So you're the new neighbor. I am True Man Fen Yuan."

After announcing his Taoist name, the old man said nothing more and made no attempt to invite Jiang Yun for tea.

They probably knew that Jiang Yun was only at the Pseudo-Core Formation level and not qualified enough.

Jiang Yun didn't care about these things. He noticed that there were many refining waste materials piled up in front of the cave of the Burning Yuan True Person.

So Jiang Yun casually asked, "Are you a weapon refiner, senior?"

"Hmm." True Immortal Fen Yuan nodded and said calmly, "If Fellow Daoist Zhou has any needs for refining weapons, he may come to me."

"must."

Jiang Yun bowed slightly and then returned to his cave.

"So he was a third-tier weapon refiner, but I don't know if he was a disciple of Thousand Forging Mountain."

After several days of waiting, Jiang Yun had gained some understanding of her neighbor on the left.

Just keep an eye on your neighbor on the right.

Two weeks later, Jiang Yun finally saw her neighbor on the right.

However, this neighbor was a young girl dressed in a light purple dress, with only a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level.

The girl looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with delicate features and a pair of very bright and lively eyes. She was very charming and cute.

The young woman also noticed Jiang Yun, paused slightly, and cupped her hands in greeting, asking, "Greetings, Senior. Are you looking for my brother to make talismans?"

"Brother, talismans?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun had a guess in his mind.

The girl in front of me must be the younger sister of my neighbor on the right.

This neighbor must be a third-tier talisman maker.

Jiang Yun smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "My name is Zhou Yun, a neighbor who just moved here. Please give my regards to your brother."

"I see." The girl smiled and said, "I am Wen Ruyu. My brother is away on business and is not in the cave."

"If Senior Zhou needs any talismans made, please feel free to come to my brother!"

As she spoke, Wen Ruyu patted her chest and assured, "The talismans my brother makes are definitely of better quality than those from outside."

"Definitely, definitely. I'll visit you again another day."

After chatting with Wen Ruyu for a few minutes, Jiang Yun returned to his cave. "On the left is a third-tier weapon refiner, and on the right are a brother and sister who are skilled in talisman making."

"As expected of a place where high-level cultivators gather, it truly is a place where hidden talents abound."

Inside the cave, Jiang Yun pondered to himself.

"But this suits me just fine. I need to open a shop to collect and exchange all sorts of treasures."
