When everyone went to choose their own rooms, Miling patted Xiao Lingyu's shoulder and said, "Although Brother Xiao has a lot of beauties and enjoys a lot of luck with women, once we reach the World of Immortals, Brother Xiao will have a long way to go. Not to mention other things, if Brother Xiao is responsible for the cultivation of so many wives, it will be a huge expense. Just relying on the income from the Awakening God Tower, you won't be able to pay for this expense. If they are willing to stay at their current level and don't want to make progress, Brother Xiao won't need to buy the materials they need to break through. But I think none of these sisters-in-law are willing to be mediocre …"
Xiao Lingyu said with a relaxed expression, "After all, we haven't been in the World of Immortals for long. The most important thing is to gain a firm foothold first. There's no need to think too much. As the saying goes, when the boat reaches the bridge, everything will be straight. Instead of worrying about the future, it's better to be down-to-earth and do the things in front of us well first."
Miling's eyes revealed a look of admiration and said, "Brother Xiao is indeed an extraordinary person. If I had so many beauties waiting for me to provide for them, I'm afraid I would want to bang my head against the wall and die!"
"Hehe."
Xiao Lingyu only smiled. In fact, he was also very troubled in his heart. After all, he came from Earth. In his subconscious mind, he believed that a man should shoulder the burden of a family. He didn't ask for riches and honor, but at least he should let his wife and children live without worries.
In the World of Immortals, there was no need to worry about food and clothing. But everyone's daily needs for cultivation were actually the same as food and clothing in the secular world.
He understood his wives very well. He knew that they were indeed unwilling to be mediocre. They would even more so not let their husband, who had once looked down on the world and killed many people, become a mediocre person.
However, rice had to be eaten one bite at a time. Things also had to be done step by step. Rushing for success would often result in failure on the verge of success.
"Brother Xiao, you can rest assured. The bigger the clan, the more they pay attention to their behavior. Even if the Yun Clan still has the intention to make things difficult for you, they definitely won't openly come to this courtyard to look for trouble. Moreover, this courtyard was originally the property of the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion sold it to us. The City Lord's Mansion has long issued a strict order that no cultivator or power is allowed to trespass into the private residence of other cultivators in the city. It is precisely because those who live in these courtyards will receive the protection of the City Lord's Mansion that the prices of these courtyards are so high and there are countless cultivators fighting to buy them. "
After everyone had settled down, Miling patted Xiao Lingyu's shoulder and comforted her. "Let's go, we have to return to the Awakening God Tower. You've just become a Spirit Awakening Master, so you can't be half-hearted about your ten years of duty."
Xiao Lingyu instructed her wives and friends to stay in the courtyard and recuperate first. She also gave them the jade slips she had purchased before she left with Miling.
After he closed the iron door of the courtyard, Miling said, "This courtyard has a formation and restriction set up by the Rebirth Realm experts of the City Governor's Estate. Once it's attacked, the city guards will rush over as quickly as possible. Over the years, there have been many cultivators that have attacked the private residences of other cultivators, yet none of them met a good end."
"Can they come out from inside?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
"Regardless of whether it's from the inside or outside, only the owner of the courtyard can open the door." Miling replied.
Only then did Xiao Lingyu feel at ease. Truthfully speaking, he didn't feel that the Yun Clan would go to war and risk offending the City Governor's Estate to attack this courtyard. He was just worried that his wives and friends would be unable to endure the loneliness and run out on their own.
As the saying goes, only with a goal comes motivation. Xiao Lingyu had a goal that wasn't too big yet wasn't too small, and it was to give his wives and friends a stable place to stay.
A courtyard like the one that Miling possessed was naturally the first choice. After all, Xiao Lingyu wasn't a top expert that looked down upon the world now. If he was able to take root under the protection of the City Governor's Estate, then it would at least be much easier for him.
However, just by "working" at the Awakening God Tower, it was already good enough that he could barely get by. There was no need for him to have extravagant hopes of buying a courtyard. Thus, with motivation, Xiao Lingyu still had to think of other ways to make a living.
Xiao Lingyu could also become a Awakening God expert like Miling, thereby increasing the remuneration he could receive from the Awakening God Tower. However, this wasn't easy. He had to first reach the Seventh Firmament of Longevity Realm.
Miling had advanced to the Seventh Firmament of Longevity Realm. Furthermore, he had never failed in awakening cultivators. Furthermore, he had always been on good terms with the steward, which was why he was promoted.
Ten years wasn't a long time, especially for an Immortal Realm expert like Xiao Lingyu. It was even more so in the blink of an eye.
Just as Miling expected, the Yun Clan didn't go to the City Governor's Estate to "complain", nor did they go to the courtyard to cause trouble. These ten years passed very peacefully.
Xiao Lingyu was almost tired of mechanically awakening other cultivators. With 90 years of rest, Ding Mao's room was also given to other Awakening Masters.
Ten years of work, even if the remuneration was 100 years, was only 20 Yang Crystals.
Previously, Jiang Lanchang had laughed at Miling for only receiving half a Yang Crystal a year on average. However, Xiao Lingyu only received one-fifth of a Yang Crystal a year.
In fact, this treatment was already much better than that of the cultivators who worked as waiters in restaurants or shops.
The most important thing was that while awakening other cultivators, he could also slowly improve his own soul realm. This could be considered a special kind of remuneration.
Miling had already taken his rest two years ago. However, he didn't leave the Awakening God Tower. Instead, he cultivated in his own room. When Xiao Lingyu's rest came, he went down to the third floor and headed to the courtyard in the northern part of the city with Xiao Lingyu.
"What is the fastest way to earn Yang Crystals? Recommend one." As they walked, Xiao Lingyu asked Miling.
"There are many ways. The fastest way is to go out of the city and rob people," Miling replied.
"Uh …" Xiao Lingyu frowned.
"Haha! You must be joking! "
Miling patted Xiao Lingyu's shoulder affectionately and said, "Actually, in order to buy this courtyard, I went out a few times before. Although I almost lost my life once, I was lucky. Going out of the city to earn Yang Crystals really requires good luck. Otherwise, something will happen sooner or later. Moreover, you just offended the Yun Clan not long ago. It's better to wait a while before going out. If you are targeted by them, you might be caught before you even leave Gourd Island. "
"Is there no way to avoid their eyes and leave the city?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
"It depends on luck. There are many powerful formations and restrictions under Gourd Island. It's the same on the city walls. Whether it's Earth Escape or flying, it's not easy for Immortal Realm cultivators to leave the city. However, there are many gates in Gourd Island. The Yun Clan won't be watching all the gates at all times. Moreover, you can change your appearance, so it won't be easy for the Yun Clan to target you. Actually, we feel that it's very troublesome here. The Yun Clan might not take us seriously. "
Miling's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "I have an idea. Even if you are targeted by the Yun Clan, they can't do anything to you."
"Oh? Let's hear it. "Xiao Lingyu asked curiously.
"The Yun Clan and the Sang Clan have always regarded each other as a thorn in their flesh. Every once in a while, they would recruit a group of cultivators to go out to sea to hunt. You can go to the Sang Clan to sign up, then follow the Sang Clan's group out of the city. This way, the Yun Clan won't be able to do anything to you. Although the two clans have hated each other for many years, they have always lived in harmony. They rarely go to war, and even more so, the Yun Clan won't risk fighting with the Sang Clan just because you are in the Sang Clan's group. "
Miling smiled proudly and said, "Going out to sea with the Sang Clan, although the majority of the harvest belongs to the Sang Clan, not only is the reward not low, it's also very safe. Brother Xiao has just arrived in the World of Immortals. In any case, I have nothing to do, so I can accompany Brother Xiao out to sea to earn some Yang Crystals. To tell you the truth, in order to buy that residence, I borrowed some Yang Crystals from the steward. It's not good to keep delaying it, so I've already considered going out to sea. "
"How many Yang Crystals can you earn from going out to sea under normal circumstances?" Xiao Lingyu nodded and asked.
"If you're lucky, you can get a few hundred."
When Miling saw that Xiao Lingyu's expression didn't change, he continued, "Many a little makes a mickle. After all, we're not experts, so we have to be patient."
Xiao Lingyu first followed Miling back to the residence and spent three months with his wife and friends. Then, she went with Miling to the Sang Clan's courtyard to sign up.
The Sang Clan only had one requirement when recruiting people to go out to sea, and that was that they had to be at least at the Fifth Celestial Layer of Immortals.
However, what surprised Miling and Xiao Lingyu was that the Sang Clan's Third Young Miss Sang Zhi was among the cultivators who were going out to sea.
What was even more embarrassing was that all the cultivators who came to sign up had to be approved by the Third Young Miss before they could be recruited.
When Sang Zhi saw Xiao Lingyu and Miling, she circled around them a few times with a mocking expression.
"Forget it, let's go." Miling felt that there was no hope for the two of them, so he pulled Xiao Lingyu and wanted to leave.
"What, are you two men afraid of going out to sea with me?" Sang Zhi's voice slowly traveled over.
"Weren't you going to reject us?" Miling turned around and asked curiously.
"Why would I reject you? It's rare that you're in my hands, so why would I reject you? You won two hundred thousand Yang Crystals from me last time, so I have to win it back! "Sang Zhi said confidently as she rubbed her nose.
"As long as you don't secretly make things difficult for us." Miling said straightforwardly.
"Don't worry, the Sang Clan has always been open and aboveboard. We're not like those despicable people from the Yun Clan!" Sang Zhi said proudly.
"Cough cough …"
The stooped Uncle Tuo coughed twice, reminding his Third Young Miss to be careful with her words. After all, this was a common occasion.
Miling didn't take it to heart. Although the Sang Clan and the Yun Clan hadn't had any major conflicts for many years, it was still very common for the two clans to bully each other openly and secretly.
What made Miling feel even more at ease was that Sang Zhi was going out to sea with the group, and even that Uncle Tuo was accompanying them.
