"Fellow Daoist Chen, you have rented this underground fire chamber for a month, and only half of it has passed. The spirit stones will not be refunded for the remaining time..." Manager Lu looked at Chen Changsheng with a serious face and said.
Normally when renting a basement room, people would like to delay the stay as much as possible. However, it is rare to find someone checking out halfway through the stay.
"If you don't want to retreat, then don't retreat. Arrange a retreat room for me with a second-level spiritual vein. It has to be the best one. Do you understand?" Chen Changsheng said lightly.
When it comes to building the foundation, you can’t be careless at all!
The richer the spiritual energy, the larger the hedge barrier will be. This is common sense!
Next to the Earth Fire Room is the Retreat Room, both of which are built on the spiritual vein.
In fact, you can also break through in the underground fire room, but the spiritual energy will be a little worse.
"A retreat room for the second-level spiritual vein? Are you planning to break through to the foundation-building stage, fellow Daoist?" Manager Lu asked in surprise.
In Sanyang City, nine out of ten people who come to rent a second-level spiritual vein retreat room are here to impact the foundation-building realm!
After all, the price of a second-level spiritual vein retreat room is quite high. If it is used for ordinary cultivation, the price is too high...
"After decades of hard practice, whether you are a dragon or a worm depends on today!" Chen Changsheng said with high spirits.
"You are still young, why are you so anxious?"
"I should carefully hone my mana and accumulate spirit stones. Even if I can't get a foundation-building elixir, I should at least get a foundation-building spiritual object. This will increase my chances of success by 10%..."
"Fellow Daoist, please don't blame me for being nosy. Honestly, I've seen too many Daoists explode and die while trying too hard to break through. It's truly tragic..."
"Maybe it's because I've seen too much. Now I'm fifty-seven years old, and I only have the last two or three years to make a breakthrough, but I've been hesitant..." Manager Lu sighed.
Having seen so many people explode and die, Manager Lu has developed a psychological shadow about his attempts at foundation building...
In fact, there are many cultivators who strive to establish their foundation, but many cultivators also choose to die peacefully...
After all, without a foundation-building pill or spiritual item, the chances of breaking through are too low. If you fail, you might die. If you don't break through, you can still live for a few more decades...
Of course, there is no shortage of gamblers in the world, and there are also many monks who gamble on this glimmer of hope.
After all, those two types of cultivators, foundation building and Qi training...
There are many people practicing Qi, like a large number of fish in the river. For example, the Dragon Lake is known as the Lake of Ten Thousand Islands. There are countless immortal cultivators, but the foundation-building cultivators are only a few hands-on skills...
For example, in Sanyang City, the Sanyang Patriarch is high above, but he has only a few hundred people who have established their foundation...
"Haha, Brother Lu is fifty-seven this year?" Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
"Yes, fifty-seven!" Manager Lu nodded.
"Then you know, what's my age?" Chen Changsheng said.
"You? It looks like even if you have the secret to maintain your youth, you should not be more than 35 years old!" said Manager Lu.
Chen Changsheng's face was too young, he looked to be in his early twenties. To say he was thirty-five was an exaggeration...
"Brother Daoist Lu is wrong. I am already fifty-eight years old this year, one year older than you!" Chen Changsheng shook his head.
Yes, fifty-eight!
I entered this world at the age of twenty-five, and now it has been thirty-three years!
In two months, he will be fifty-nine...
"What? Fifty-eight, how is that possible?" Manager Lu couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
"It's just that when I was young, I ate a strange fruit that could keep me young forever. I only have a good appearance, but now I have reached the point where I have to fight hard..." Chen Changsheng shook his head.
"A strange fruit that can keep you young forever? It is rumored that a fellow Taoist in Longhu Lake has eaten this fruit, and he seems to be very old... Could it be that the fellow Taoist is the rumored Chen Changsheng, the first cultivator under the foundation-building stage in Longhu Lake?" Manager Lu couldn't help but wonder.
"I didn't expect that fellow Taoists from Sanyang City have also heard of my name..." Chen Changsheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard that.
Yes, he has already started to plan to be himself again.
Chen Changsheng's name can be traced back to a long time ago. He started his Daoist journey from Shouyang Mountain and made his fortune in Longhu Lake. His origins can be described as extremely clean...
When this wave of people successfully build their foundation, there will definitely be forces from all sides trying to win them over. At this time, it is extremely important to have a clean background. After all, they are cultivators who have built their foundation. If their origins are unknown, who would dare to win them over?
And Chen Changsheng has already set his sights on Sanyang City...
As the number one independent cultivator, Patriarch Sanyang has an excellent reputation. If he has the support of Sanyang City, why would he be afraid of Song Lin?
Besides, Song Lin is most likely still in Longhu now. He is a rat crossing the street and dares not show up in public at all.
This wave of revealing one's identity is just to pave the way for the future.
"It's really Fellow Daoist Chen. I've heard of your great name for a long time. With your own strength, you defeated hundreds of Tribulation Cultivators and now you are trying to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. You are indeed worthy of being the number one person below the Foundation Establishment stage!" Manager Lu bowed.
"I just relied on the power of the formation. How could I kill so many Tribulation Cultivators by myself..."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, please help me make proper arrangements for this retreat cave!" Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I will definitely arrange the best for you, but the price is..." Manager Lu said with a sly smile.
"When it comes to building the foundation, price is not an issue!" Chen Changsheng said.
"Okay, then let's go to Cave No. 6. It has a second-grade, top-grade spiritual vein. If you have a spirit gathering array, you can even raise the spiritual energy to the third level in a short period of time. It's definitely a good place to clear the level!"
"Moreover, Cave No. 6 has the highest success rate in attacking it at present. How long will it take, fellow Daoist?" asked Manager Lu.
Just like going to the top scholar building for the college entrance examination, in the world of immortal cultivation, there is also a focus on luck and the like...
"One month is enough!" Chen Changsheng said.
"What? One month? Five hundred spirit stones!" Manager Lu said with a smile.
"Okay, five hundred is five hundred!" Chen Changsheng nodded.
Five hundred spirit stones, one month...
The rent is six thousand spirit stones a year...
Damn it, this is such a fucking pit!
If it weren't for his goal of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, even with Chen Changsheng's current wealth, he couldn't afford to live in such a place...
Retreat Room No. 6!
Chen Changsheng released Da Huang once again...
"Next, I will be in seclusion for a month to practice. This place is rich in spiritual energy, which should be of great benefit to you."
"I'll leave this foxbear's body to you. Leave the skin to me, and you can use the bones and flesh as food..."
"Remember, don't disturb me, and don't let anyone disturb me!" Chen Changsheng warned.
When it comes to building the foundation, you cannot be careless at all!
"Woof!" Da Huang barked wisely, and then he huddled obediently at the door to study the fox bear. Meanwhile, Chen Changsheng came to the center of the retreat room, took out the formation flag, and set up a small spirit gathering formation on his own, forcibly detaining the spiritual energy in the secret room. This was equivalent to raising the spiritual vein to a higher level...
