Chapter 398 Journey to Zhongzhou
Xixuan City is the largest city in Xixuanzhou and is also the headquarters of Xixuan Temple. Its scale is ten times larger than that of Jinshan City. There are more than ten million monks in the city all year round. At this time, the Thousand Buddha Pagoda that happens once every thousand years is about to open.
The high-level cultivators who poured into it
There were so many scholars that Xixuan City was soon overcrowded, and all the temporary caves and inns were sold out. When Yicheng arrived here, a colleague of Nan Hao took Yicheng around Xixuan City
I couldn't find a place to stay for most of the day.
"Senior, how about I introduce you to a private cave. Many monks will temporarily rent out their caves during this period to earn some spiritual stones."
This middle-aged guide was not as innocent as Nan Hao. Because the number of monks visiting Xixuan City increased sharply during this period, and there was a shortage of guides, he abruptly increased the fee of twenty spirit stones per day by five times.
100 spiritual stones per day, although Yicheng is not short of these spiritual stones, his impression of this guide has drastically deteriorated, and he misses an innocent young man like Nan Hao even more.
At this time, while the guide was talking, he paid attention to Yi Cheng's expression, and there seemed to be some expectation in his eyes.
Although Yicheng knew that there must be some fishiness involved, at this time he had to find a place to stay in Xixuan City before arranging the next step.
"Okay, you lead the way!" Yicheng hesitated and said.
"Senior, please come with me!" Although the middle-aged monk's tone was calm, Yicheng could easily detect a hint of joy in his eyes.
After an hour, the two came to a cave near the mountain. The environment was much better than a temporary cave or inn.
"Senior, wait a minute. I'm going to find the owner of this cave first. He lives nearby." The middle-aged guide said to Yi Chengdao.[
Yicheng nodded slightly, and the monk named Tang Wen walked towards the side.
A quarter of an hour later, a monk in the late stage of alchemy came back with Tang Wen.
"Fellow Taoist, I'm here at Lu Yi. I heard from Tang Wen that Taoist friend wants to rent a cave." Lu Yi, a bald old monk, asked Yicheng with his fists clasped as soon as they met.
"Exactly, this cave belongs to fellow Taoist?" Yicheng asked.
"This cave doesn't belong to me, it belongs to a friend of mine. He is away on business and probably won't be able to come back for a year and a half. Because the Thousand Buddha Pagoda is about to open, and more monks will come here to buy and sell treasures, so more monks will participate in the auction.
Let me rent this cave for you. If fellow Taoists value this cave, we can discuss the price." Lu Yi said, using the token to open the cave's protection ban, and then took Yicheng into it to check the situation of the cave.
Negotiate price.
This cave is not small, with a radius of ten feet. It has an alchemy and weapon refining room, a training room, a living room and a bedroom. There is also a large courtyard with some first- and second-level spiritual grasses. Obviously, the master has high-level spiritual grasses.
I already take it with me when I go out.
"Do you like this cave Taoist friend?" Lu Yi asked.
"Okay, I wonder how to rent this cave?" Yicheng asked.
"How long do you plan to stay, fellow Taoist?" Lu Yi didn't say the price, but first asked Yicheng about the lease period.
"Of course it will be three months, and we will leave when the Thousand Buddha Pagoda is opened." Yicheng replied.
"In that case, let's pay ten thousand spirit stones every month in one lump sum!" Lu Yi gave the price.
"Ten thousand spirit stones, fellow Taoist, the price is too high. There are only a thousand spirit stones in the temporary cave, which is a difference of ten times!" Yi Cheng replied, he did not want to be taken advantage of.
Although there are many stones, you can't spend spiritual stones and be regarded as a fool at the same time.
"The conditions in this cave are much better than those in the temporary cave. What's more, you don't know what the market is like at this time. If you don't rent it now, I can't guarantee that this cave will still be empty after today!" Lu Yi
But there is no rush.
Hearing this, Yicheng thought for a while and said: "Five thousand spirit stones, I guess I am not the only one who can see this cave. Let alone one day, even in the past three months, there will be no one in ten thousand spirit stones in a month."
Rent, if you agree I will pay the spirit stones now, otherwise I will go look elsewhere!"
"This" Lu Yi hesitated a little.[
"Senior Lu, your ten thousand spirit stones are indeed too high. This senior is not the first to come. This delay of one day is a delay of one day's income. How about you lower it a little bit?" Tang Wen interrupted at this time.
.
"Okay, Tang Wen and I are also acquaintances. Since you were introduced by Tang Wen, I'll give in, how about seven thousand spirit stones!" Lu Yi seemed to have made up his mind.
"Farewell, I hope fellow Taoist can rent it at a good price!" Yi Cheng saw that the two men were playing a double act in front of him, and he didn't bother to talk to them anymore, so he turned around and left.
"This" Lu Yi didn't expect Yi Cheng to turn around and leave, and was stunned.
"Senior, please stay. Senior Lu, please give in a little more. The opening of the Thousand Buddha Pagoda is not far away. If you miss this opportunity, you will not get a single spiritual stone." Seeing this, Tang Wen advised.
After staying in Yicheng, he faced Lu Yidao again.
"Hey, okay, I will give in a little more, six thousand spirit stones, it can't be lower!" Lu Yi really gritted his teeth and made a decision this time.
"Senior, you see that Senior Lu has already made such a big concession. Could you please add a little more? We have accomplished this business. Now this cave is indeed not easy to find." Tang Wen started to act as a lobbyist again.
"Let's go!" Upon hearing this, Yicheng turned around and left without any intention of increasing the price.
"Fellow Taoist, stay here. I am also renting it out for my friend. Since Taoist Taoist has made up his mind, I will give in one more step. Five thousand will be five thousand. Anyway, I am just helping!" Lu Yi stopped Yicheng and sighed.
.
Upon hearing this, Yicheng seemed to feel that he had not bargained enough, but he had already said his words, so naturally he could not go back on his words, so they took out a jade slip and signed the contract, leaving their spiritual marks on each, and Lu Yi signed the contract.
Give the token of this cave to Yicheng.
Yicheng paid fifteen thousand spirit stones and took out another hundred spirit stones and handed them to Tang Wen. He only said that he would stay in the cave for the next few days and would not go out, so Tang Wen was not needed as a guide for the time being.
Tang Wenbing looked a bit strange, took the spirit stone, thanked him, and left with Lu Yi.
Yicheng shook his head, closed the formation, and entered the cave directly.
After Tang Wen and Lu Yi left, they walked for several miles, but there was no sign of any spiritual consciousness following them. Lu Yi took out five hundred spirit stones and said to Tang Wen: "It was done well. Please introduce more of these fat sheep to me in the future."
!”
Tang Wen took the spirit stone, thanked him happily, and then left to find the next guest.
And Lu Yi was so happy that he spent 1,500 spirit stones in advance to directly rent out 5,000 spirit stones in the cave. This alone made him 10,000 spirit stones. Although it was not much, he had more than this in his hands.
Cave Mansion, dozens of houses add up to a considerable income.
Lu Yi is very confident in his own intelligence.
Divine consciousness is like human eyes. Although Yicheng's spiritual consciousness can detect things within a range of 2,000 miles, he cannot always use his spiritual consciousness to pay attention to other places. If he knew what Lu Yi was thinking now, would he vomit blood in depression?
