After some browsing and questioning, Chen Lin got a rough idea of the prices of items here.
Generally speaking, they are cheaper than Guyuan City, but not too different.
Pills are still scarce. What you can see are low-level pills such as Qi-Building Pills and Blood-Building Pills. Occasionally, there are higher-end pills, and the prices are not cheap.
After watching for a while, Chen Lin bought some materials for refining thunder beads and puppets, and then walked into the city.
After walking around a few shops and inquiring about prices, we came to a luxurious building in the center of the innermost area.
Qingyang Pavilion.
This store is owned by the Qingyang Sect, and there are often some high-quality products produced by the sect, but the prices are higher than other stores.
Walking in, the inside is even more magnificent, spacious and bright.
Seeing him come in, a young female cultivator from the first level of Qi training immediately came over to receive him. There were many other receptions like this, all of them were young and beautiful, and their attitudes were very good. They did not think that his cultivation level in the middle stage of Qi training was that good.
So neglected.
Chen Lin secretly praised the operator and at the same time had admiration for the head of the Qingyang Sect.
If you take a quick look at it and know the whole picture, if you can manage the ancillary industries so well, the order of the sect will probably not be bad.
If he hadn't already decided to go to Chu State, he would have wanted to try to join this sect.
"Excuse me, if you apply to rent a cave, are you here?"
Chen Lin went straight to the topic.
Decide where to live first, and then think about other things.
The receptionist female cultivator smiled sweetly and said: "It turns out that fellow Taoists want to rent caves, and there happened to be a few caves that became available today. Please come over here!"
Chen Lin frowned when he heard this. It seems that this cave is still in short supply. I'm afraid the price won't be too low!
If it was too expensive, he decided not to rent it, but to buy a quiet yard in Qingyang City and practice by taking elixirs.
Following the female cultivator to a spacious room, the female cultivator walked inside and took out a number plate and handed it to Chen Lin and said: "This is your number plate. There are a lot of monks who want to rent the cave this time. I'm afraid we have to bid for it."
That’s all, just rest here and wait.”
After saying that, the female nun left the room.
Chen Lin took a look and found a seat to sit down.
There were already more than ten people in the room, all of whom were in the late stages of Qi training. There was also a middle-aged man whose cultivation was unclear. Chen Lin felt that all the monks were afraid of this man, and there was a large space around him.
Location.
In addition, there is a huge map on the wall with many red dots marked on it.
After a while, several more monks were brought in, and an old man who had been silent in front finally stood up.
"It's almost time, let's get started!"
After the old man finished speaking, he picked up a pen and scratched a few times on the wall map, then circled a few red dots.
"There are only these caves available this time, one is high-grade, three are medium-grade, and three are low-grade. Now let's talk about which grade you want to rent."
The old man pointed at the bottom map casually, then suddenly remembered something, and continued: "I almost forgot, I just received a notice that the rent of the cave has increased, and the top-grade cave has thirty yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones per month.
The mid-range ones cost ten yuan, the low-grade ones two yuan, and the term of rent has also been increased to a minimum of six months, so you should think about it carefully."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
A yellow-robed monk immediately stood up and said angrily: "What's going on? It's too expensive to go up so much all at once!"
Others immediately agreed.
Chen Lin didn't know what the original price was, but he was stunned.
This is the price of one month. When a monk truly cultivates, he will spend more than a month in retreat. As the monk said, this is too expensive!
Gu Fen
Faced with the accusations from everyone, the old man in charge didn't care and said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just because the offerings of Lieyang Sect have increased again, and the sect has no choice but to fill it up in various places. Not only the price of the cave has increased, but also the prices in the market have increased.
The rent, as well as the entry qualifications for Blackwater Lake, have all increased."
When everyone heard this, they suddenly lamented.
The worship of the Lieyang Sect is a problem that no one can solve. Although all the monks who rely on the Qingyang Sect for survival complain about this, there is nothing they can do.
Who told Qingyang Sect that there are no golden elixir monks? If you don’t offer them to you, they will deal with you.
"Hmph, it would be great if our Qingyang Sect can have a strong person with the golden elixir. Otherwise, we will suffer from it every year."
A young man in white clothes couldn't help but speak.
However, when he saw that the monk next to him not only did not agree, but instead looked at him like a fool, his expression suddenly changed and he closed his mouth.
"I want the first-class cave. Let's rent it for a year first!"
At this time, the middle-aged man who could not clearly see his cultivation suddenly spoke, diverting everyone's attention.
"Did Fellow Daoist Mu buy the Foundation Building Pill again?"
The old man looked at the middle-aged man and asked with a smile.
This person didn't care, nodded and said: "Last time I found some good things from Heishui Ze. It happened to be that the sect opened up the quota for foundation-building pills, and I was lucky enough to buy one. I try for the last time. If it doesn't succeed, it's God's will.
.”
After saying that, he sighed and seemed a little lonely.
The old man also expressed a sigh of relief, "Then I wish fellow Taoist friends a smooth journey."
Then, he looked at the others and said: "There is still competition for this superior cave. If not, it will go to Taoist Fellow Mu."
Others shook their heads.
Not to mention that you don’t have the intention to rent a high-quality cave. Even if you do, there is no need to fight with a monk who practices Qi Perfection at this time. What’s more, they are preparing to build a foundation. To snatch it is to block the way.
Generate hatred.
The old man had already expected this and took out a jade plaque. The middle-aged man surnamed Mu handed over the spirit stone and left after taking it.
Chen Lin listened and understood the information from the few words.
Now it seems that Qingyang Sect has the ability to refine foundation-building pills, and it will also sell them to outsiders, but they don't know what the price will be.
Chen Lin also has some yearning in his heart, but he is still far from establishing the foundation, so he is not in a hurry.
On the contrary, he was very interested in the prescription of the Foundation Establishment Pill. People said that the success rate of the Foundation Establishment Pill was frighteningly low, and the pill itself was of extremely high value, so he didn't have to worry about selling it, which was perfect for his talent.
However, foundation-building pills are definitely a top priority for every sect. It is an absolute monopoly of resources and may not be easy to obtain.
After thinking about it, the leasing of Zhongzhong Cave Mansion began.
There were three caves, and Chen Lin thought there would be some competition, but he didn't expect that only two monks took action, and one was left.
He looked at the remaining people, who seemed to be staring at the lower-grade caves, and knew that they all thought the price of this mid-level cave was too high.
After thinking about it, Chen Lin didn't say anything. He was in the middle of Qi training and renting a medium-sized cave was a little too eye-catching.
One of the auctions was rejected, and the old man in charge looked a little unhappy. He continued to rent the last three low-level caves with a sullen face.
This time everyone took action, but the competition was not fierce. When the price reached three mid-grade spiritual stones, no one raised the price.
Chen Lin also took action and rented a cave at the edge, which also provided three middle-grade spiritual stones for a month.
The reason why I chose this one was because it had the weakest competition. Only the young man in white argued with him. After he directly gave out three middle-grade spiritual stones, the other party gave up and looked at him like he was a fool.
One glance.
Chen Lin didn't know why, but he didn't ask any more questions.
After handing over the spirit stone, he took the jade token given by the steward, inquired about where to go to complete the procedures, and then left directly.
