Chapter 611: 195 Rent a Cave_2
This meant that his potential had basically reached its end.
But if the gifted potential is not exhausted, he would be able to gradually enhance the foundation of his Tao domain, from entry-level to minor success, then to major success, and finally a perfect Tao domain.
According to the records from the Land Immortal Mansion, most of the True Monarchs in the Nascent Soul Realm only have an at entry-level Tao domain, with limited potential and ordinary strength.
Those who can comprehend a Tao domain’s minor success are already considered monstrous prodigies.
True Monarchs of the Nascent Soul Realm who can comprehend a Tao domain’s major success are considered world-class geniuses, possibilities like a spiritual body, etc., are plausible.
The perfect Tao domain —
The records in the Land Immortal Mansion do not record who ever cultivated a perfect Tao domain, leaving only one sentence: seizing the source of heaven, forming a grand path.
Mana is easily cultivated, but the Tao domain isn’t!
Every item in the cultivation world that can assist in enhancing the Tao domain is a heaven and earth treasure, desired and coveted by all sects, and by all the True Monarchs of Nascent Soul Realm.
Thinking of these, Su Yu’s eyes became even more solemn, and his breathing slightly rapid.
This spiritual liquid — it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of others!
No, it should be said that others absolutely cannot know that the Refining Qi Pot can refine such spiritual liquid.
As for the spiritual liquid — although it can enhance the Tao domain, it isn’t substantial as long as others don’t know that he condensed it himself.
Two years later.
The Land Immortal Mansion Sect, Big Fool Peak.
Su Yu returned to his blessed land, releasing the Sky Thunder Rat Demon King from the magic artifact. The Sky Thunder Rat Demon King’s aura was still of fourth-tier lower-level cultivation.
But over the past two years, it had swallowed and refined dozens of fourth-tier upper-level spiritual liquids, the thunderous aura on the Sky Thunder Rat Demon King had more than doubled, and its bloodline power had undergone a qualitative transformation.
“Caw!”
As soon as Su Yu returned, the chirping of the chubby bird, Taixu, filled the air, and a giant shadow descended from the sky.
After leaving some spiritual liquid for Taixu and the Sea Covering Ancient Turtle, Su Yu left the Refining Qi Pot to allow the Illusion Heart Stone to condense spiritual liquid for him. After all, the nature’s spiritual energy here was incredibly dense. Condensing spiritual liquid here would certainly be much faster than outside.
Visiting Moon Mist Peak and Sword Abyss Peak to check on Luo Qianyu and Taoist Qingquan, both of whom were still in seclusion attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul.
Su Yu left without disturbing them, leaving the sect.
Ten Monarch Immortal City.
Su Yu purchased an internal intelligence report from the Library Pavilion, containing information on the Cave Sky territories of all the forces surrounding Ten Monarch Immortal City, as well as some ownerless ancient Cave Sky secret sites.
He had already collected nearly four-fifths of the materials needed for the teleportation array. He had enough resources on hand to collect the remaining materials.
But even if the materials are ready, he still needed a safe place to lay the array.
“Flower Sect, Dao Kong Sect, Lin Lang Heaven Gate…” He was dizzy looking at the names of all these forces. Just around Ten Monarch Immortal City, there were over twenty forces that had a fourth-tier Spiritual Veins Cave Sky secret site!
There were Sect forces, and there were cultivation family forces.
There were even more caves with third-tier spirit veins, over a hundred.
Suddenly, Su Yu’s gaze condensed, noticing a somewhat familiar name: Purple Jade Gate!
“Purple Jade Gate’s third-tier cave mansion for rent, annual rent is eighty thousand middle-grade spirit stones, currently controlled by Flower Sect.” Looking at this information, Su Yu thought to himself: “Purple Jade Gate, that’s the sect where Lin Qingxia and the others used to be.”
The Purple Jade Gate met a tragic end in the past. Lin Qingxia, Lin Bing, Yang Yumin were captured alive, sold to the black market of Ten Monarch Immortal City, they were controlled by several businesses dealing in servants, until Su Yu bought them.
Previously, Su Yu asked Lin Qingxia whether they wanted revenge.
Back then, Lin Qingxia, still like a puppet, said no.
But now —
All the past memories of Lin Qingxia and the others were erased by Su Yu using his illusion spell, and without those memories, the three finally ‘resurrected’.
“Purple Jade Gate, was it annihilated by the Flower Sect?” Su Yu’s gaze became concentrated.
Looking at the Flower Sect’s intention to rent out the cave mansion of the Purple Jade Gate, he only thought for a moment before making a decision. This cave mansion would be it!
One month later.
About a hundred thousand miles east of Ten Monarch Immortal City, in a mountain range planted with purple-leaf trees, Su Yu and a woman in the Core Formation Realm from the Flower Sect walked up to Purple Jade Peak.
The road ahead was lined with Spirit Bamboo, which were purple as precious jade, covering the entirety of the Purple Jade Peak.
The beautiful lady dressed in a light green dress carried an exotic floral aroma on her, her figure voluptuous and full, emanating a unique charm.
“The rent of eighty thousand medium-grade Spirit Stones a year is not expensive,” the beautiful lady continued as they proceeded up the hill. “This includes the cave dwelling of Ziyumen that encompasses the surrounding Spirit Land and Spirit Plants. If these spirit bamboos are managed well throughout the year, they will certainly fetch an income exceeding one hundred thousand medium-grade Spirit Stones.”
“If you manage the other resources properly as well, you can make at least over one hundred thousand medium-grade Spirit Stones a year. You won’t be at a loss.”
Possessing the countenance of a man named Chiyinger, Su Yu calmly asked, “Then why would Baihua Sect want to lease the place?”
With a light laugh, the beautiful lady replied, “The distance is a bit too far, making it difficult to manage. Additionally, managing such a cave dwelling requires a considerable amount of manpower.”
“It would be easier to lease it rather than fuss over it ourselves.”
Su Yu toured Ziyumen along with the beautiful lady. The architectures constructed by the former Purple Jade Sect were all intact and the ones that were damaged had been restored to their original condition. The only issue was that the large array at the mountain gate was somewhat damaged due to the destruction caused by the Baihua Sect in the past when they obliterated the Purple Jade Sect.
The environment was quite good. Standing tall and alone, the Purple Jade Peak provided a clear view of the entire Purple Mountain Range enveloped by layers of mist, resembling a paradise in the clouds.
“Agreed, I’ll lease it. However, I have one condition: the lease term must be at least one hundred years,” Su Yu stated.
Upon hearing this, the beautiful lady was delighted in her heart. A hundred years! That would be eight million medium-grade Spirit Stones in rent!
Where did this spendthrift come from?
After some negotiation, it was agreed that a security deposit equivalent to five years’ rent would be paid initially followed by five years of rent, with the lease lasting a hundred years and the rent paid every five years.
Su Yu handed the beautiful lady eight hundred thousand medium-grade Spirit Stones, watching her leave in euphoria.
Baihua Sect…
Who knows how many more years of rent you can collect?
The Baihua Sect, though not insignificant in power and possession of a True Monarch in the Nascent Soul Realm, was known as a prominent sect of female cultivators in the vicinity of the Ten Monarch Fairy City.
Moreover, the majority of the sect was all female!
The male practitioners were merely treated as pets, and if female cultivators of the Baihua Sect had children, the sons would be sent away while only daughters could be kept.
As soon as the beautiful lady returned to Baihua Sect, she found that the sect was in chaos and on high alert, something apparently being searched for.
Upon inquiry, she was shocked to learn that the sect’s treasury had been robbed not long ago, and every item and spirit stone it had stocked was gone.
Upon hearing the news, the lady’s head buzzed as if struck by lightning, she screamed, “What?! How is this possible? Who did this!”
Her elation at having procured eighty thousand medium-grade Spirit Stones in rent had plummeted into an abyss.
The beautiful lady hurriedly set out to find the Sect Master and joined the search for the perpetrator.
Meanwhile…
The ‘perpetrator’ Su Yu was busy laying out arrays on top of Purple Jade Peak, his heart content. While he’d emptied the Baihua Sect’s treasury, he hadn’t found any low-grade magic artifacts or any other precious items.
However, he did secure over three million medium-grade Spirit Stones along with a massive amount of materials and treasures.
He also found several Nascent Soul Realm Cultivation Techniques.
What surprised Su Yu the most was that the Baihua Sect specialized in dual cultivation techniques. He even found one, known as the Elemental Unification Technique, that could be used to reach the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.
This technique—the more one practiced with different partners, the better the results!
Recalling the chaotic scene he had witnessed at the Baihua Sect, there was a slight change in Su Yu’s expression.
Shaking his head to clear these thoughts, Su Yu turned his attention back to the Purple Jade Peak beneath him. “Let’s see if I can layout a four-tiered lower-grade array on my own.”
With this dwelling, he could plan to construct a secret lair for teleportation arrays.
As for it being on lease?
For a hundred years?
Although it was technically a fact, what if the Baihua Sect could not survive for a hundred years, right?
After all, the cultivation world is full of surprises—it wouldn’t be a surprise if they were wiped out by someone.
By that time, not only would the Purple Jade dower belong to him, but even the four-tiered secret realm the Baihua Sect currently owns could be his.
