Chapter 391: New Residence
Upon hearing Han Li’s words, Lu Er was momentarily stunned, then couldn’t help but glance at the red rings on the two’s hands.
When he saw those red rings, he suddenly understood and said, “So the immortal master intends to live long-term in this city! This is easy to handle. Have both of you seen the houses built on the Sacred Mountain? You can simply rent a residence anywhere on the mountain to cultivate. According to other immortal masters, the entire Sacred Mountain is a naturally formed spiritual vein. The higher the house you rent on the mountain, the richer the spiritual energy, but naturally, the price will be higher.”
“If you don’t want to rent a house and prefer to cultivate alone, you can also rent an existing secluded mansion and have your own private area. However, I hear those cost much more than ordinary residences! Also, whether it’s a house or a secluded mansion, the rental is calculated by the century. Every hundred years, the fee must be paid again. If you fail to pay the next fee, the Star Palace’s immortal masters will reclaim the property.”
Lu Er explained everything to Han Li swiftly.
“Oh, so as long as you have enough spirit stones, you can rent a place to cultivate on the top floors?” Han Li’s expression showed considerable interest upon hearing this.
“The immortal master must be joking; that’s definitely not possible.” Lu Er shook his head vigorously.
“The Sacred Mountain is divided into eighty-one layers, each spiral counted as one layer from bottom to top. The first fifty layers are open to outside immortal masters; as long as you have spirit stones, you can rent a residence to cultivate. The upper thirty layers are reserved for the Star Palace’s dignitaries. As for the highest layer, that’s the Sacred Palace, the residence of the two Sacred Lords. No one is allowed to enter.”
Lu Er said awkwardly.
After some thought, Han Li resolutely said, “Alright, lead the way! Let’s find a residence first.”
“Yes, I will lead the way immediately. Just fly toward the Sacred Mountain. At the foot of the mountain is a pavilion that handles these matters.”
No sooner had he finished speaking, the Divine Wind Boat transformed into a white streak and sped toward the distant Great Mountain.
Although the mountain didn’t look far, Han Li flew for a full quarter of an hour before finally reaching the base of the mountain.
Under Lu Er’s guidance, the Divine Wind Boat landed in front of a rather grand pavilion.
Besides Han Li, many cultivators came and went here. Lights often soared into the sky or descended, giving the place a lively atmosphere.
Han Li glanced around before leading Quhun and Lu Er inside the pavilion, which had tall steps at the entrance.
Upon entering, they saw around a dozen cultivator-like people sitting at five or six lonely stone tables, speaking with several white-robed cultivators.
Some looked extremely happy, others frowned deeply, and two were even begging the white-robed cultivators desperately. The expressions varied greatly.
Han Li silently observed the scene for a moment.
“Immortal master, that table over there is now free. Shall we go over?” After a while, Lu Er cautiously reminded Han Li.
Han Li had already noticed the empty stone table and nodded.
However, this time it was Quhun who took the lead and walked over, with Han Li following behind.
This surprised Lu Er, who had always thought Han Li was in charge, and he followed with a somewhat astonished look.
“Senior, do you want to rent a residence on the Sacred Mountain? How many layers are you considering? The upper floors will be more expensive!” The Star Palace cultivator’s gaze swept over Quhun and immediately showed respect.
It seemed that core formation stage cultivators commanded respect wherever they were. This was why Han Li let Quhun take the lead.
“A secluded mansion. Are there any available? The higher the layer, the better!” Quhun said expressionlessly.
“A secluded mansion? Please wait a moment while I check!” The white-robed cultivator perked up, hastily pulling out a Jade Slip and began searching.
