"Master Ling, let me tell you. The big house at the foot of Yangping Mountain with a Grade Four Spiritual Pulse is a famous fiendish house in Yuanzhou. In the past five years, as far as I know, that big house has been sold by Cui Wuye no less than six times. However, none of the owners were able to live in it for more than half a month!" The bartender said.
"Oh, less than a month? What do you mean? How so? "Hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Ling Dong's face.
Even though Ling Dong was as smart as a ghost, he still fell for it. He fell for the fact that the outsiders were unfamiliar with the locals.
The bartender, who was questioned by Ling Dong, shook his head. "How would I know how fiendish it is? What I'm talking about is that many people have died, and the reason for it is inexplicable. "
Speaking of this, the bartender sighed. "I remember that half a year ago, there was a person surnamed Zhuang in the north of Yuanzhou. He wanted to expand his family's influence, so he found Cui Wuye and bought that house. At that time, he even set up a banquet here for only 8,000 Reiki!
However, just ten days later, he came to settle the score with Cui Wuye in an extremely sorry state, saying that he had been tricked! In the end, that person surnamed Zhuang was killed by Cui Wuye and fled alone. When he came, he brought over a hundred experts, but they all died here! "
"Eight thousand, ten days!" Hearing this, Ling Dong smiled bitterly. He had made a huge mistake this time. He had carefully calculated for half a day, but he was still slaughtered by Cui Wuye.
"Master Ling, I think you should just admit it. When I just left, I thought that you bought the house with the Grade Five Spiritual Pulse that Cui Wuye sold. However, even if I was here, I wouldn't dare to say a word, "the bartender said.
Looking at the bartender's cleverness, Ling Dong's heart suddenly moved. As a newcomer, it shouldn't be a bad idea to take in a local who knew his stuff.
"What's your name?" Ling Dong asked.
"Master Ling, my surname is Cheng, and my name is Cheng Dashan!" the bartender replied.
"Cheng Dashan, good name! How many Reiki Tongbao can I earn from this restaurant? Do you have any thoughts of changing jobs? "Ling Dong asked.
Cheng Dashan Ling Dong stretched out his hand. "Fifty yuan. Fifty yuan a month. Reiki Tongbao. I do want to change jobs, but with my aptitude and cultivation, I can only do this kind of work to serve people. Otherwise, I'll have to go mining. "
"Half a low-grade Reiki per month? Then, come and be my guide. You can guide us so that we won't be ripped off. I'll give you a mid-grade spirit crystal every month. How about that? "Ling Dong suddenly realized that this bartender was too suitable. Staying in a place like the tavern where dragons and snakes mingled, one's knowledge would definitely not be lacking.
"A piece of mid-tier Reiki per month?" Cheng Dashan's eyes widened as he gulped.
"That's right!" Ling Dong nodded.
While Ling Dong was waiting for Cheng Dashan to nod, Cheng Dashan shook his head like a rattle-drum: "Yes, but I don't dare! If Master Ling doesn't want to go to the courtyard with the fourth grade spiritual vein in Yangping Mountain, I can agree! "
"You really don't want to go?"
"I really don't want to go. My life is more important! Unless …. "
Seeing Cheng Dashan's serious face, Ling Dong also took this matter seriously. It seemed that the so-called House of Evil was much more serious than Ling Dong had imagined. Otherwise, this little bartender would not have rejected him when faced with such a huge salary. A piece of mid-tier Reiki was worth a hundred low-grade Reiki. It was worth ten thousand Reiki Tongbao.
"Unless what?" Ling Dong asked.
"Unless Master Ling is able to establish a foothold there, such as safely staying there for half a month. Of course, if Master Ling needs anything from me, just come here and look for me. Although I can't be seen in public, I know the gossip and the price of goods! After all, this Three Music House is the most prosperous restaurant in Yangkou City! "Cheng Dashan patted his chest and said.
"Good! Then I'll come look for you in half a month! "After saying that, Ling Dong got up and walked out.
Cheng Dashan was anxious when he heard this. "Don't, Master Ling. Are you really going? I was just joking with you! You really can't stay there for half a month. Many experts died there for no reason …. "
"Heh, just because you said that, I'll come look for you in half a month!" Ling Dong turned around and said with a smile. He suddenly sped up and left the restaurant. After identifying the direction, he looked at the map and flew toward the east.
In fact, Ling Dong didn't listen to Cheng Dashan's advice and went straight to the House of Evil because he had his own considerations.
First of all, as Cheng Dashan said, it was hard to find a house with a Fourth Spiritual Vein in the Yuan Province.
If it was in the past, this wouldn't be important. However, Ling Dong wanted to quickly increase the strength of his family. The difference between a First Spiritual Academy and a Fourth Spiritual Academy was huge.
If the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth in a Fifth Spiritual Vein was three times denser than in the Realm of Wood, then the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth in a Fourth Spiritual Vein was four times denser than in the Realm of Wood.
For cultivators below the Star Transformation Realm, the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth would be three to four times denser than before, but their cultivation speed wouldn't increase by three to four times. However, for cultivators above the Star Transformation Realm who had formed their Astral Soul, as long as they didn't have any bottlenecks, the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth would increase their cultivation speed by several times.
For example, in the Realm of Wood, it would take ten years for a Quasi Star Cultivator to advance by one stage. However, in a courtyard with a Fifth Spiritual Vein, it would take three years to advance by one stage. In a Fourth Spiritual Vein, it would take two and a half years to advance by one stage.
Although half a year wasn't much of a difference, when one's cultivation was at the Ninth Stage, the latter would take eight years faster than the former. Eight years was enough for a Constellation Realm cultivator to advance by one or two stages.
Therefore, Ling Dong had to think of a way to get into a Fourth Spiritual Academy. Even if it was an Ominous Land, Ling Dong still had to carefully examine it before making a decision.
Furthermore, according to the bartender, Cheng Dashan, many people had died, but most of them were still alive. There should be something strange in this courtyard. Perhaps it was the Earth Qi, or a Demonic Beast, but it definitely wasn't strong.
Otherwise, if there really was a strong Demonic Beast, there would be plenty of Quasi Star Cultivators walking on the streets of the Yuan Province. There would be even more Constellation Realm and Star Monarch Realm experts.
As for the thought that there would definitely be a treasure in an Ominous Land, it only flashed through Ling Dong's mind. If there really was a treasure, there would be plenty of experts in the Yuan Province, and they would have already found it.
Moreover, Ling Dong faintly had a thought in his heart. It was very likely that the Ominous Land was Cui Wu's doing.
In any case, he, Cui Wu, was the one with the most benefits.
You see, he, Cui Wu, had sold this courtyard time and time again. If every buyer was scared away by the Ominous Land, wouldn't he, Cui Wu, be the one with the most benefits? Would he be able to sell this courtyard once again?
This was a business without any capital. In any case, he had a Fourth Spiritual Vein, so he didn't have to worry about no one falling for it. At this moment, Ling Dong finally understood that Cui Wu was trying to sell him the Fourth Tier Spiritual Academy.
In the beginning, one offered a hundred thousand, while the other offered two hundred thousand. The difference was doubled, but in the end, the difference was only five thousand Middle Rank Reiki. He was clearly trying to lure him into buying this Fourth Spiritual Academy. However, he had done it flawlessly and fooled Ling Dong.
However, Ling Dong could only accept it. A strong dragon couldn't suppress a snake in its old haunts, so he had to settle down first. As long as he settled this Ominous Land, his clansmen would have a place to settle down. His cultivation wouldn't be slow, and Ling Dong would accept it!
"Cui Wu, I hope that this place of evil and evil isn't something created by deceiving others. Otherwise, hmph!" Ling Dong's figure sped up as he sneered. He followed the map and directly rushed towards Yangping Mountain that was six hundred miles away.
For the current Ling Dong, even if he didn't use the Cloud Piercing Boat, he would only need half an hour to cover the distance of six hundred miles. When Ling Dong saw Yangping Mountain, which was similar to the one on the map, he saw a manor that spanned over ten thousand mu from the mountainside to the mountainside appear in Ling Dong's line of sight.
When he saw this large manor, Ling Dong wasn't in a hurry to enter. He first flew over the manor and circled it a few times. After carefully inspecting it for a long time, he nodded in satisfaction.
It had to be said that Ling Dong would be very satisfied with this ready-made manor, even if it didn't have that Ominous Land.
The water source was convenient. There was a small stream in the mountains that passed through the manor, and there were many wells in the manor. Most importantly, the layout was very reasonable. It should've been the manor of a large clan.
In addition to the main manor, which spanned over four thousand mu, there were over a thousand mansions of different sizes surrounding the main manor. When the time came, all the clansmen could live in them. Moreover, with Ling Dong's powerful Spirit Sense, he could sense that the fourth grade spirit vein was enclosed in the main manor.
Moreover, there was a weak warning formation set up in the manor. Although it was easy to break, it had no problem blocking the wild beasts in the mountains and cultivators below the Star Transformation Realm. Therefore, the manor was well preserved. Apart from being a bit dirty and messy, there wasn't much ruin.
"It's here!" As he spoke, a brilliance flashed in Ling Dong's hand. The Door Restriction Spirit Talisman suddenly rushed out. In the sky above the manor, a ball of brilliance suddenly burst out and dissipated. Ling Dong also descended towards the main manor.
With a flick of his sleeves, Ling Dong casually swept the dust in one of the rooms of the main manor. Then, he called out Old Monster Wood Demon.
"Dumby, haven't you always been clamoring to find a place with flourishing vegetation? Now that you've found it, go and absorb the essence of the vegetation to your heart's content! However, while absorbing, don't forget to guard the manor. If there's any movement, inform me immediately! "Ling Dong instructed.
"Ha, thank you, Master. Even a breath in this place is filled with the fresh smell of vegetation. I'm going!" After a joyous response, Old Monster Wood Demon, Dumby, disappeared from Ling Dong's sight. However, the color of the flourishing vegetation in the surroundings seemed to have suddenly dimmed. At the same time, some large trees and vegetation in the surroundings of the manor began to rapidly grow.
After arranging for Old Monster Wood Demon to guard the manor, Ling Dong was in no hurry to release his clansmen. After all, this place had the reputation of being a land of evil. Ten days or half a month would not make much of a difference!
According to the bartender, Cheng Dashan, he had never stayed here for half a month! Ling Dong planned to stay here for half a month. If there were no problems within half a month, he would release his clansmen and begin to rebuild their home!
Moreover, the Qi of Heaven and Earth here was extremely dense. It was truly a good place for cultivation. It was already comparable to the Qi of Heaven and Earth after using a good Spirit Gathering Formation in the Wood Puppet World.
On one hand, it was to verify his safety. On the other hand, he did not waste a single shred of cultivation time. Ling Dong sat cross-legged in this quiet manor and began to cultivate quietly.
As for safety, with the Cat Spirit and Old Monster Wood Demon on guard at the same time, Ling Dong was not afraid of any sudden attacks at all.
One day, two days …
At midnight on the sixth day of Ling Dong's cultivation, Ling Dong's soul consciousness suddenly stirred. Old Monster Wood Demon's voice abruptly sounded, "Master, someone is coming!"
Uh, Ling Dong's eyes suddenly opened. A cold light flashed in his eyes, "Someone pretending to be mysterious is coming?" If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
