Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 60

Lu Zhong pinched, but did not refuse.

This is equivalent to being invited by him with money, how can there be any reason to push it away?
After everyone has had three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, it's time to talk about things.

"Friend Daoist Lin, if I want to settle here for a long time, I don't know how to choose a place to live?" Lu Zhong put down his chopsticks and asked the young man surnamed Lin Yunhua.

Hearing this, Lin Yunhua stopped his movements, thought for a while before smiling and said, "Fellow Daoist asked the right person about this point. Generally, newcomers can only rent a house from a monk, but Fellow Daoist The treatment of Fu Shi is different, you can use that token to go directly to the store to rent a house."

He said, put another mouthful of food in his mouth, and then continued: "Fangshi is in charge of housekeeping, not only is it cheaper to rent a house there, but you can also find newly updated houses in the first place. In this way, it will be easier for fellow Taoists to rent a desirable house.”

Lu Zhong nodded, keeping these words in his heart.

If Lin Yunhua's words are true, then this time he really made a lot of money.

However, you can't trust others like this, who knows if there are any traps in it?
Then he asked some questions about the sale of talismans, and found that the specific rules were similar to Qingliufang, and he didn't even need to pay the booth fee for setting up a stall, just need to go to the designated place to set up a stall.

Moreover, the supply of Lieyang Stone here is sufficient, and there is no need to worry about running out of ink for drawing exorcism talismans.

After such a detailed discussion, Lu Zhong also had a general impression of Yanling Shanfang City.

It can be said that this is an enlarged version of Qingliufang, with a larger scale and more complete industries.

Whether it is refining equipment, alchemy, or workshops specializing in the production of talisman paper, there are many workshops here, and all kinds of workshops related to daily necessities are readily available.

As for gambling houses and brothels, it goes without saying that the one in his arms is the best example, with both good looks and talent, one can tell at a glance that he has been trained and trained.

The only downside is that the rent here is not generally expensive.

According to what Lin Yunhua said, renting a small private courtyard here requires a minimum listing price of ten spirit stones a month, and the fee needs to be paid annually.

Although he earned a lot of spirit stones on the road, Lu Zhong still felt a heartache when he thought of spending so much money on renting a house.

……

The next day.

Lu Zhong got up and frowned when he saw his body was sticky.

I had to take two pictures of cleaners to clean up the stains.

Walking out of the inn where he was staying, he planned to go to the inn to do housework so that he could rent a house for himself.

People come and go on the street, most of them are in a hurry, not as leisurely as Qingliufang Sanxiu.

There are shops open for business on both sides. Whether it is the decoration or the richness of the products, they are far from those in Qingliufang, and people come in and out from time to time.

Seeing something hot, Lu Zhong thought about it and still didn't buy it.

Go straight along the street, basically all the way uphill.

Due to its special terrain, Yanlingshan Fang City is divided into one to nine rings depending on the concentration of spiritual energy.

The lower third ring is the area where the workshops gather, and there are shacks formed around the workshops. Most of the low-level monks live here; Zhong plans to rent a place; as for the upper third ring road, it is the core of Fangshi, most of the places where idlers are not allowed to enter, only law enforcement teams or tax officials, monks of government offices, can enter, and only a small area is open.

The shop house affairs are in that area.

The signboard of the store house affairs is very large, so you can see it at a glance.

At the door, there were many monks dressed as men and even more rent-seekers.

These rent-seekers are not eligible to enter the store to do housework, so they can only look at the listings listed outside, and then entrust the dentist to deliver a small note.

Listed houses are in short supply, and renters need to compete for rent through bidding. The note contains the location information of the house and the price they are willing to pay.

The one with the highest bid will be able to rent the house.

In this way, it is the way for ordinary monks to rent a house in Yanlingshanfang City.

Lu Zhong didn't need to borrow the hand of Yaren to rent the house, he went straight to find the steward inside and told his intention of coming.

"Want to rent a house? Show me your authentication token. You must have an authentication token to rent a house here." The manager's expression was very flat, and it was obvious that he was unwilling to talk to Lu Zhong, but he was also afraid of him. It really has passed the certification, so it has a business-like attitude.

After seeing the token, the steward suddenly smiled, and stretched out his hand to hand out a catalog.

"Do you want me to recommend it for a fellow daoist? I only charge you ten spirit stones, and I guarantee that all the recommended locations are good value for money. This is a place that ordinary people can't rent."

Lu Zhong didn't think about why the other party was arrogant and respectful. After looking at the catalog for a while, he thought about it and said: "Then Lao Feng will be in charge."

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Feng Guanshi immediately became more friendly when he heard that there was money to be made.

The houses in Yanlingshanfang City are different in old and new, and the building areas are also different.

There are three-entry luxury mansions that have only been built for less than a year, and mud-brick houses that have been in disrepair for a long time.

Unlike Qingliufang, the houses here need to be maintained by the tenants themselves, so it is very important to rent a house that can be lived in directly without any repairs, so that you can save a lot of money.

Manager Feng received money to do things, and he really recommended a batch of such houses.

Later, under the leadership of this person, Lu Zhong only looked at a few rooms, and found one that he was very satisfied with.

It is a courtyard hidden in the bamboo forest. It covers an area of ​​​​acres plus the bamboo forest. It is quiet enough not to be disturbed by outsiders. There is also a spiritual field that has been opened. Although the soil quality of this small-sized spiritual field is average, but It is still enough to grow talisman grass.

Moreover, the small courtyard is adjacent to the third ring road, so the concentration of aura is slightly higher than other areas on the fourth ring road.

All in all, if you rent it, you earn it.

According to Feng Guanshi, this was originally the place where a casual cultivator lived in the late stage of Qi refining.

It was only not long ago that this person vacated this small courtyard in the bamboo forest because he chose to wander around in order to find an opportunity to build a foundation.

There are quite a few people staring at this small courtyard, and they all want to rent it first after the half-month storage period has passed.

Now, it was Lu Zhongjie who took the lead.

After paying ten Lingshi's monthly rent for one year, he got a deed.

The role of the deed is similar to that of a contract. It contains the address of the house, the appearance and characteristics of the tenant, the year and month of renting the house, and other precautions.

With this document in hand, the right to live in the Zhulin Courtyard is in the hands of Lu Zhong.

……

The small courtyard in the bamboo grove is the smallest courtyard. Walking through the bamboo grove and entering the gate, you will be directly in the courtyard. The houses inside are all single-storey, and the courtyard is surrounded by inverted rooms, main rooms, and wing rooms.

Among them, the main room has three bays, the left and right two rooms are planned to be used as bedrooms and talisman-making rooms, and the middle hall is intended to be used for entertaining guests.

The east and west wing rooms are planned to be arranged as a quiet room for retreat and practice.

A special quiet room is very necessary for cultivation.

As for the west wing, Lu Zhong planned to choose one as a kitchen so that he could cook some meals every day.

Regarding the cleaning of the small courtyard, he did not invite anyone to do it.

After all, it is actually a kind of pleasure to watch the new house get cleaner little by little.

First, the unnecessary furniture was cleaned out, and then the cleaning symbols were removed one by one. The small courtyard that was originally slightly old gradually became a new look. It only needs to purchase a batch of furniture and bedding to replenish it, and then you can live and work in peace and contentment.

"It's a pity that there are not enough spirit stones. When I save enough money in the future, I must set up a defensive circle here." Lu Zhong secretly said.

Otherwise, outsiders only need a qi-watching technique to see clearly the situation in the small courtyard in the bamboo forest.

In this way, there is very little privacy.
