Chapter 24: The New Home is Really Good!
"Why? Of course, because there are ghosts!"
Caiyi, who had just woken up, said with a smile while combing her hair that reached her waist.
"Didn't Senior Sun tell you?"
Luo Chen was shocked. "There are ghosts?"
Caiyi threw her long hair back. "Why are you so surprised? It’s normal for our cultivation world to have ghosts, right!"
Yes!
This is the cultivation world, not Earth; why am I surprised?
"It’s common knowledge that there are ghosts in the inner city, and there are quite a few."
Caiyi explained it in detail; these things, as long as one lived in the inner city for a long time, could basically say a few words.
The Yuding Region was actually opened up three hundred years ago.
Before that, this huge region was also part of the million mountains of the Eastern Wilderness.
Four hundred years ago, the Yuding Sword Sect mobilized the whole sect to cut down the mountains, spending huge capital to hold an opening war, with sixteen sects participating.
Among them, there were seven sects with Nascent Soul cultivators!
The other five regions of the Far East, the major sects, also sent a large number of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators to participate.
It took a hundred years, and it wasn't until three hundred years ago that this region was settled.
That hundred-year opening war, humans and demonic beasts fought, every inch of land was contested, and countless people were killed or injured.
Finally, it ended with the victory of the Yuding Sword Sect.
Victory was victory, but there were still many messes left behind.
For example, various ghosts, whether human or demonic beast, mixed together, almost turning this land into a ghost realm.
In response to this situation, major sects also had mature methods.
Various methods of soul-calming, soul-eliminating, and soul-collecting emerged one after another.
And for some overly powerful ghosts, in the case of being unable to eliminate them in the short term, methods of suppression and attrition were adopted.
Many large markets in the Yuding Region today actually suppress many powerful ghosts, including ghost generals and ghost kings.
Why did Dahe Market establish inner and outer cities?
In fact, it was to collect the spiritual energy on the spiritual vein and use it to wear down the ghosts suppressed below.
"We have a ghost king-level one suppressed right here. Especially the inverted room you live in, which is just at the eye of the formation, and the yin qi is quite heavy."
Caiyi stared at Luo Chen with a smile, waiting for this little guy to show a fearful expression.
However, Luo Chen was no fool.
Senior Sun could rent the house to him, and Caiyi dared to live in this courtyard, which meant there was no danger.
He thought about it and asked, "Is it a male ghost or a female ghost?"
Caiyi was stunned, and after reacting, she spat, "It’s a lecherous ghost!"
After the joke, she said seriously: "Don't worry about anything; this formation was set up by a Golden Core superior, based on the inner city, to collect the power of the spiritual vein. The ghost king cannot affect our life and cultivation, at most it’s a bit cold when sleeping."
"Heh, I am a great cultivator at the fourth layer of Qi Refining; how could I be afraid of the cold!" Luo Chen smiled confidently, fully displaying the style of a cultivator.
Caiyi smiled and stood up.
"Alright, I’m going to work; can we chat again tomorrow morning?"
Working at this time?
Luo Chen looked at the setting sun suspiciously.
"May I ask, what do you do?"
"Dancing at the Tianxiang Tower; come and play if you have time!" Caiyi left with a smile, leaving behind a faint fragrance.
Looking at the graceful back of this neighbor, Luo Chen could probably imagine how beautiful she was when dancing.
Unfortunately, I, the great master, can't afford it!
Luo Chen returned to his room, which had been ventilated for an afternoon after cleaning, and finally there was no strange smell.
The neighbor Caiyi, who lived in the main room, also gave him a piece of musk.
She said that as long as it was burned in an incense burner, it would not only smell good but also repel insects.
"No incense burner, burn it in a bowl, the effect is the same."
Lighting the musk, Luo Chen began to take things out of the storage bag.
In fact, there weren't many things, besides various herbs, just pots and pans.
On some things, there were still scorched black marks from burning.
In the battle last night, half of his house was burned down.
Later, he used a Small Cloud and Rain Talisman to extinguish the fire.
The things rescued from inside were not many!
The herbs he specifically took out to sort and place in the afternoon were almost all destroyed in there.
Only the bedroom and kitchen were spared.
The only fortunate thing was that the valuable main materials were all in the storage bag and hadn't had time to be taken out for processing.
After statistics, the loss was huge, accurate to the single digit, which was 108 spirit stones!
But the harvest was also very large!
The first cultivator who died provided a set of mid-grade magic tool Jade Knives, which were actually wood-attribute flying knives.
One mother and six children, they could form a formation, and if there was enough time to form a formation, the power was comparable to a high-grade magic tool.
It just happened to be suitable for him to use.
Besides the flying knives, the spirit stones in that cloth bag were also 150.
It could be said that this legacy alone was enough to make up for Luo Chen’s loss, and he made a big profit.
And the expert he strangled was even more powerful!
High-grade flying sword, low-grade flying magic tool; selling them would be hot goods.
However, Luo Chen hadn't thought about how to deal with them yet.
After all, these things were hot potatoes!
That guy should be a fifth-layer Qi Refining cultivator, but he had a pile of good things.
Appearing with a God-Speed Talisman, using a Fierce Sun Talisman to destroy the house.
Wearing a high-grade Daoist robe, equipped with inner armor, attacking with a high-grade flying sword, and even having a Xutu Shield talisman.
If you add the lotus leaf flying disc flying magic tool, it could be called armed to the teeth.
This kind of luxury configuration was rarely seen by Luo Chen in the outer city.
If it weren't for the other party looking down on him, and he having the Soul-Breaking Nail with a second-order armor-breaking formation, and using a sneak attack, the one who died would definitely be him.
But killing was killing, Luo Chen had long since looked past it.
Of course, considering the other party’s deep background and possible retaliation, Luo Chen dealt with the traces at the first opportunity, and then shrank into the city.
Those traces couldn't be hidden for long.
But hiding for a day was a day; the enemy couldn't run to the inner city to kill him, right!
The rules set by the Yuding Sword Sect, no one was willing to risk their life to provoke.
Recently, it was better to be careful, and the lost herbs also needed to be supplemented as soon as possible.
Only by earning enough spirit stones could he get rid of the current predicament of slow cultivation.
After taking everything out, Luo Chen looked at the empty large room.
"When going out to purchase herbs tomorrow, buy a few shelves by the way to separate the space."
"Winnowing basket, medicine pestle, peach wood, incense cedar wood also need to be bought."
"Oh, right, also have to buy a night pot!"
Before practicing, Luo Chen missed the house with a courtyard, a large playground, and a small creek.
At that time, he could pee without any scruples.
Unlike now, just the money for night soil every month was enough for him to pay two months’ rent before.
However, this kind of complaint disappeared completely after Luo Chen ran the Changchun Technique once.
"Is this the charm of a first-order spiritual vein?" ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
