Chapter 459 Soul Card
After entering Thunder Stone Immortal City, Xiao Lin really felt what prosperity was. Before, outside the Immortal City, due to the obstruction of the city wall and the angle of sight, he did not see that there was a foothills at the foot of the mountain of Thunder Stone Immortal City. There is a market that is ten to twenty miles in size.
People were coming and going in the market. What surprised Xiao Lin was that less than half of the immortal cultivators who came in and out of the market were in the foundation-building stage. Xiao Lin even sensed a dozen spiritual pressures no less than his own.
After Xiao Lin figured out the approximate strength distribution of this immortal city monk, under the use of the secret technique of Yi Lingbian, the spiritual pressure on his body had disappeared without a trace. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary mortal. .
Taking Jiang Yingxue with them, the two of them did not stop at Fangshi, but walked towards the mountain. The main street of Lei Shixian City was actually a wide winding mountain road.
Along the way, Jiang Yingxue's pretty face was full of curiosity. Every time she passed a shop, she couldn't help but poke her head in. She seemed to want to go in and take a look, but Xiao Lin had no intention of staying, so she could only look helpless. He withdrew his curious eyes and followed Xiao Lin closely.
After walking for more than half an hour, the two came to a protruding cliff halfway up the mountain. Here stood a small palace with a faint green aura shining through it. After seeing the plaque on the palace, Xiao Lin revealed smiled.
The three words "Xianfuju" are clearly engraved on the plaque on the palace.
Xiao Lin's intention is very clear. He wants to find a place to stay first and settle down Jiang Yingxue. He is going to the sea to practice and practice two intermediate spells. Naturally, he cannot take Jiang Yingxue with him. For Jiang Yingxue now , the most important thing is naturally to practice hard.
Only after the realm of the previous life is restored, the sealed memories can be restored, and this process will undoubtedly be long.
It was the first time for Jiang Yingxue to come to this "Xianfu Residence" with a puzzled expression on her pretty face. However, she did not ask questions, but followed Xiao Lin obediently into the main hall.
Before entering the main hall, the spiritual pressure on Xiao Lin's body appeared again, and the aura of the golden elixir stage was revealed unabashedly.
After entering the main hall, Xiao Lin was surprised to find that there were very few people in the main hall. Only a few people were chatting with a few Water Control Palace disciples dressed as receptionists.
After Xiao Lin and the others came in, a beautiful woman in her thirties hurriedly walked up. She bowed respectfully before saying, "Senior, do you want to rent a cultivation cave?"
Xiao Lin nodded and did not continue speaking.
"Senior, please follow me, junior." The beautiful woman made a "please" gesture towards Xiao Lin, and then led Xiao Lin into a private room deep in the hall.
After Xiao Lin and Jiang Yingxue sat down, the beautiful woman also sat down on the stool opposite them.
"There are no cultivation caves for rent in our Thunder Stone Immortal City, but on the islands outside, our Water Control Palace has built one hundred and eight high-quality caves. Each cave occupies an independent island, and these islands Below, there are spiritual veins running through the foot of Thunder Stone Mountain, full of spiritual energy.”
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Xiao Lin's face. He never liked to be disturbed by people in his training place. It would be great if he could really have an island to himself.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin smiled and said: "But I don't know if these caves are still available. Xiao wants to rent one."
The beautiful woman smiled slightly and even narrowed her eyes slightly: "These one hundred and eight high-grade caves are the best caves within the nearly ten thousand miles of our Thunder Stone Immortal City. Of course there are some available, but at this price It will be a little more expensive.”
After hearing this, Xiao Lin showed a puzzled expression on his face. He was a little surprised as to why the woman in front of him emphasized that the cave would be more expensive. Even in Jinxia Immortal City, the cave he rented only cost 800 low-grade spiritual stones a year. , this price is naturally a bit expensive for ordinary immortal cultivators in the foundation building stage and Qi refining stage, but to him, it is nothing at all.
"Is it possible that the cave here is more expensive than the Jinxia Fairy City?" Xiao Lin cursed in his heart.
Seeing Xiao Lin's expression, the beautiful woman immediately understood. The Jindan senior in front of her was probably the first time she came to this Thunder Stone Immortal City. Thinking of this, the beautiful woman stopped trying to be mysterious in case the person in front of her was angry: " The rent for these caves is 3,000 low-grade spiritual stones per year, and the spiritual stones required for the operation of the entire island’s defense formation are approximately 600 yuan per year, which is also borne by the person who rents the caves.”
Hearing the price mentioned by the beautiful woman, Jiang Yingxue next to Xiao Lin didn't think anything because she had no idea about spiritual stones at all, but Xiao Lin showed a surprised expression on his face.
"Why is it so expensive?" Xiao Lin couldn't figure it out. Renting a high-grade cave in Jinxia Immortal City only costs 800 low-grade spiritual stones for a year, and the rent of the cave in front of Thunder Stone Immortal City does not include the operation of the formation. What is needed is 3,600 low-grade spiritual stones, which is more than four times more expensive than the cave in Jinxia Immortal City.
"Senior, please listen to this junior's explanation." The beautiful woman had a helpless expression on her pretty face. She sensed Xiao Lin's confusion and knew that the person in front of her must have suspected that she was deliberately raising the price.
Xiao Lin looked at the beautiful woman in silence, waiting for her explanation.
"Seniors also understand that in the depths of the Ten Thousand Monsters Outer Sea, they may be attacked by a large number of monsters at any time. In order to prevent the impact of monsters, Thunder Stone Immortal City operates a city defense formation all year round to protect the surrounding area thousands of miles away. All the islands are covered in it, and just to maintain the operation of the formation, the amount of spiritual stones consumed every year is an astronomical number. "
Seeing Xiao Lin nod his head, the beautiful woman continued: "There are a large number of immortal cultivators who come from the Burning Immortal Sea to experience in the Ten Thousand Monsters Outer Sea, and there are also many high-level cultivators like the seniors. In this way, As a result, the number of caves is seriously insufficient. In order to allow high-level monks like seniors to rent caves smoothly, the rental prices of some caves were deliberately raised. In this way, the large number of low-level monks in the Qi Refining Period and Foundation Establishment Period will be They will give up renting the cave because the price is beyond their affordability.”
Hearing this reason, Xiao Lin showed a speechless expression on his face, but he knew that in Wanyaohai, where caves are rare, raising prices is indeed a good way to provide caves for high-level monks. After all, Jindan monks earn through trials. The number of spirit stones taken far exceeds that of low-level monks such as foundation building and Qi refining.
After understanding the reason, Xiao Lin couldn't help but hesitate. Thirty-six hundred yuan of low-grade spiritual stones a year, and seventy-two thousand yuan of low-grade spiritual stones in twenty years. This price is almost worth a An ordinary magic weapon.
However, in order to give himself and Jiang Yingxue a quiet and safe place to practice, it seems that they can only bear the pain and take this spirit stone. Besides, he is training in the sea. If he encounters danger or is injured, he must have a place to stay. What's not?
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin was about to speak, when the beautiful woman spoke again: "But within a thousand miles of our Thunder Stone Immortal City, there is a way to rent a cave without paying rent, and it is permanent. As long as senior doesn't leave on his own initiative, the cave will always be his. "
Hearing this, Xiao Lin did not show any excitement, but his face became solemn: "Girl, you should tell me the conditions first?"
The beautiful woman in front of him always likes to speak first, surprising people. Besides, Xiao Lin knows very well that there is no free lunch in this world. If Yushui Palace is willing to give away an entire island, there must be harsh conditions. .
Sure enough, after hearing this, the beautiful woman smiled and said: "This condition is almost impossible for low-level monks like me, but for seniors, it is very possible."
After a pause, the beautiful woman continued: "It's very simple to say, as long as the senior kills more than a hundred true-level monsters, or three emperor-level monsters, and collect their souls into this soul card , then with this soul card filled with monster souls, you can exchange it for any unleased cave, and the period is unlimited. "
"In addition, as long as the senior accepts this soul card for collecting monster souls, then our Water Control Palace can give the senior a 50% discount on the leased cave for ten years. As long as the senior can collect all the monster souls within ten years, he will be You can directly continue to rent the cave for free, with no time limit.”
Hearing this, Xiao Lin did not rush to answer, but began to ponder. He didn't understand what the Water Control Palace did to collect monster souls? In addition to refining spiritual weapons, monster souls can also be used to practice some magic secrets.
The Yushui Palace is nominally in opposition to the Six Dao Kui Demon Palace, and it has always regarded itself as a righteous path. It is unlikely that it will be used to practice the secrets of the demonic path, so the most likely use is to refine spiritual weapons.
However, with the strength of the Water Control Palace, in Xiao Lin's opinion, there is no shortage of monster spirits. The most indispensable thing in the Eastern Territory is the spirits of low-level monsters.
While Xiao Lin was thinking about the reason, the beautiful woman apparently guessed Xiao Lin's doubts and said with a smile: "Senior, it's strange to think that our Water Control Palace occupies nearly one-third of the area controlled by the human race outside the sea of ten thousand monsters. How could there be such a shortage of monster spirits in this region? In fact, our Water Control Palace has good intentions in doing this.”
Seeing the surprised expression on Xiao Lin's face, the beautiful woman continued: "Our human monks are practicing in this sea of ten thousand monsters. In the final analysis, we are opening up and expanding the territory for our human race. The reason why our Water Control Palace does this is also Encourage the immortal cultivators to kill more monsters to expand the area controlled by our human race outside the sea of monsters, and at the same time weaken the strength of the monsters. "
"Seniors also know that there are countless low-level monsters. If you kill a batch, another batch will be born soon. But for true-level monsters, especially emperor-level monsters, it is not easy to give birth. On the one hand, it depends on the blood type of the monster, and on the other hand, it also takes a long time. Moreover, true-level monsters and emperor-level monsters are also the most high-level monsters that our human monks face in the sea of thousand monsters. The more we kill, the more we kill. , which is naturally more beneficial to us as a human race."
