Chapter 109 - 108: Moving House
No one wants to be unexpectedly scanned by someone’s divine sense.
Once encountering such a situation, most of the time, if there isn’t a significant gap in their cultivation level, the outcome would be life-and-death struggle.
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Master of the Thick Earth Sect, Master Cheng Shan naturally understood this.
Therefore, he wouldn’t casually use his divine sense to probe everything.
Thus, even if He Song chose a courtyard closer to Master Cheng Shan, he didn’t have to worry about his secrets being discovered.
But, just in case, and for the sake of caution, He Song still chose a courtyard that was not within range of Master Cheng Shan’s divine sense.
Only in this way, could He Song’s secret remain safe even if there was a slim chance of its exposure.
He, who was naturally cautious, would naturally make the best choice for himself.
“I’ll choose this one. Although it is on the outer edge, I dislike noise, and this quiet little courtyard is quite suitable for me.”
Pointing to the courtyard he had chosen, He Song spoke while shifting his gaze to the token in his hand.
“As for the token… how about I join the Spirit Construction Pavilion and keep
Wei company?”
Informing Wei Fan of his choice,
He Song casually put away the token and then looked at Wei Fan.
Wei Fan’s previously furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and a trace of a smile appeared on his face.
“Would you like to reconsider? The closer you are to the center, the higher the density of the spirit Qi. Although it is quiet there, the spirit Qi density is somewhat lower than at the center.”
Although He Song had already stated that he dislikes noise and thus chose the quiet courtyard,
Wei Fan still wanted to persuade him. The density of spirit Qi, is of utmost importance for cultivators.
In his opinion, the reason He Song gave was not really significant.
If he liked quietness, why not choose neighbors who don’t make noise?
With him as the steward of the Spirit Construction Pavilion, He Song could choose any of the courtyards on the map as long as he wanted. Unfortunately, he did not know,
He Song’s preference for quietness was just an excuse.
The real reason could not be openly discussed with him.
“No, no, I’ve decided on this one. When I get back, I’ll pack up my things and move to that courtyard. Please make a note of it, Brother Wei.”
Waving his hand to refuse,
He Song quickly spoke again, fearing Wei Fan would continue to persuade him. “As for my position as a steward, let’s settle it at the Spirit Construction Pavilion. With Brother Wei here, I don’t have to worry about losing my position if something comes up.”
Seeing He Song’s determined attitude and his swift change of topic, Wei Fan understood that He Song had made up his mind.
Helpless, he could only nod his head and no longer tried to persuade him.
“Alright, I will report this matter to the Master today. As for the token and the courtyard, my friend, you can arrange everything yourself. It seems that, starting from tomorrow, my friend will be a steward of the Spirit Construction Pavilion as well.”
After settling He Song’s courtyard and position, the two quickly parted ways.
Wei Fan needed to report this matter to Master Cheng Shan.
A Qi-refining late-stage cultivator joining the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, especially one with a background in the Immortal Pavilion, naturally required arrangements.
Courtyard, position, all these things needed the Master’s approval before they could proceed.
However, since it was an Immortal Pavilion cultivator who had broken through to the Qi-refining late-stage, there would naturally be no particular scrutiny. On the contrary, Master Cheng Shan would probably only glance at it and then nod his head.
The matter would then be considered successful.
Immortal Pavilion cultivators enjoy better treatment within the Pavilion itself.
However, if a Loose cultivator who had reached the Qi-refining late-stage wanted to join the Immortal Pavilion and become a steward, it wouldn’t be easy.
After parting ways with Wei Fan,
He Song quickly returned to his residence on the outskirts, packing all his belongings into the small cargo storage bag.
At this moment, He Song still had only two storage bags.
One small storage bag with enough internal space for daily necessities.
Another small cargo storage bag containing 66,000 catties of spirit rice and various other trinkets.
Fortunately, the small cargo storage bag’s space was large enough that even with 66,000 catties of spirit rice, it could still accommodate all the things He Song needed to take from his room.
However, the small cargo storage bag was not easy to carry around. After careful consideration, He Song decided that after his next transaction involving spirit rice, he must purchase a larger storage bag that could be carried with him.
This way, in the future, he would not have to carry the inconvenient small cargo storage bag back and forth.
As for now,
the spirit stones on him still had a use, but they were insufficient to buy a large storage bag that could be carried around.
That thing required a thousand spirit stones. If He Song bought the large storage bag, he would have no spirit stones to exchange for middle-grade Artifacts.
For the sake of his own safety, for the time being, he would just carry it like this.
It wouldn’t be too late to make the switch when he sold spirit rice again in the future.
Soon, after careful identification, He Song arrived at his new residence.
This place was located in the inner circle of the Immortal Pavilion.
However, it was situated at the outer edge of the inner circle, more than three miles from where Master Cheng Shan resided.
It was adjacent to the First District on the outer edge of the Immortal Pavilion,
separated only by a Darner.
The spirit Qi here was richer, and the environment was much better.
There were trees surrounding the small courtyard, hiding it behind them and making it rather concealed.
In addition, the nearest courtyard was more than a hundred meters away, making the area calm and peaceful.
Gazing at the trees around the small courtyard, a look of satisfaction appeared in He Song’s eyes.
As expected, it was exactly the same as the map he had seen in the Spirit Construction Pavilion.
A single-family dwelling hidden in a grove of trees like this would have been called a separate villa in his previous life.
Even more so, when He Song stepped into the courtyard, the view suddenly brightened.
There were artificial mountains and flowing water in the courtyard, and a small area had been cultivated into farmland.
There was also a two-story building.
He Song was no stranger to such a two-story building, as he had stayed at Wei Fan’s house for some time.
However, he didn’t know if his courtyard would be arranged the same way as Wei Fan’s home.
Entering the building,
He Song quickly examined the entire building.
There was one master bedroom, two secondary bedrooms, one servant’s room, and a total of four livable rooms.
Additionally, there was a reception hall, two Cultivation Quiet Rooms, one study, one kitchen, and one Training Room.
After the tour, He Song shook his head in speechless amazement.
As he had expected,
He had overestimated the Spirit Construction Pavilion of this world. The layout of the courtyard he had chosen was similar to that of Wei Fan’s home.
There were only a few minor differences, but they didn’t affect the living conditions.
It could be said that all the courtyards in the inner circle of the Immortal Pavilion were virtually identical.
Whether it was the room distribution inside the houses or the arrangement of the artificial mountains and flowing water in the courtyards, they were almost identical..
