Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 51: New House

Gao Xian has been practicing in the mountains every day recently, and he feels that he has made great progress. However, he does not like the idea of killing other cultivators.

In his opinion, this kind of infighting is too cruel and has gone beyond the necessary limits.

A sudden blizzard came, and the cold weather could freeze people to death. He didn't want to go into the mountains anymore.

Zhu Qiniang said calmly, "I've been taking you with me every day and you haven't complained. Now you don't want to go?"

"Qiniang, I was wrong. I didn't mean to refuse. I just thought it's too cold outside and wanted to rest for two days." Gao Xian quickly apologized.

"When there's heavy snow, the demonic beasts will hide in their dens and the medicinal herbs will be covered by snow. No one will go into the mountains in this kind of weather."

Zhu Qiniang said seriously, "I came to remind you of something. Winter is here, and all the cultivators in the mountains will return to Feima Village for the winter."

"There are at least a few thousand cultivators who live deep in Tengshe Mountain. These cultivators are lawless. When they settle in Feima Village, it will definitely cause chaos. You must be careful..."

The cultivators who live in Feima Village won't go too far into the mountains. They are relatively peaceful and won't cause trouble.

But the cultivators who are active in Tengshe Mountain all year round are different. They have no respect for Feima Village and are more brutal and cruel in their actions.

Every year after winter arrives, these cultivators cause a lot of trouble when they enter Feima Village.

As soon as Zhu Qiniang saw the blizzard, she knew that the group of cultivators in the mountains would be coming back.

She specifically came to remind Gao Xian because she was afraid that he didn't understand the severity and thought Feima Village was still safe as before.

Gao Xian is most annoyed by this kind of uncontrolled chaos. He said, "Qiniang, I want to move, move to the side of Chang Street. It's safer there."

Chang Street is the main street of Feima Village, dividing it into two from south to north.

All the shops such as Changsheng Hall, Lingfu Hall, and Baibing Hall are located on this street. Individual cultivators also set up stalls on Chang Street.

In short, Chang Street is the commercial center of Feima Village, with the most people, the liveliest, and the safest.

Zhu Qiniang nodded, "That's a good idea. Chang Street has patrol teams guarding day and night, so it's safer."

She said, "I'll help you ask around, but the rent near Chang Street is quite expensive. It will cost at least five spirit stones per month."

Gao Xian nodded, "That's not a problem. I've earned two hundred spirit stones during this period."

Following Zhu Qiniang into the mountains every day to collect medicinal herbs and hunt demonic beasts didn't earn him much, but he made over two hundred spirit stones by killing other cultivators.

It's hard to earn two hundred spirit stones in a month even with the popular Tian Gui Pill and Lu Jiao San. It has to be said that robbing is faster.

Zhu Qiniang is very efficient, and in just a few days, she found a house.

The monthly rent for the house is seven spirit stones, which is more expensive because it's winter and the cultivators from the mountains have returned to Feima Village, causing the prices to rise.

The price is really high, and although the house is nice, it's not actually worth that much. The only valuable thing is that it's located in the central area, relatively safer.

Gao Xian currently lives in a mud house, and the monthly rent is only one spirit stone. The rent is paid by the medicine shop, so he doesn't have to pay.

Gao Xian followed Zhu Qiniang to take a look. The courtyard is located behind Lingfu Hall, diagonally across from the back door of Lingfu Hall.

There are east and west wing rooms, and three main rooms, all made of blue bricks and large tiles, and they are well-kept and comfortable to look at.

The courtyard has a well, a cellar, a warehouse, a toilet, and everything you need.

Compared to Lingfu Hall, it's much smaller, but it's spacious enough for him to live alone.

These houses belong to Lianyun Sect and are managed by Foundation Building cultivator Li Shuanglin. They are only for rent and not for sale.

After seeing it, Gao Xian thought it was pretty good. The price is high, but he has recently made a fortune and it's enough for him to live here for two years, not to mention that his pills are selling very well.

After weighing the pros and cons, Gao Xian signed the contract on the spot.

He paid three months' rent in advance, a total of forty-two spirit stones.

"The alchemy room needs to be renovated with a chimney, brick platforms, and the purchase of charcoal, firewood, furniture, and various daily necessities."

Zhu Qiniang calculated, "It will take about twenty days to complete."

"During this time, just stay at home and don't go out too much."

Gao Xian felt a little embarrassed and said, "You don't need to bother with these trivial matters. Don't you have a capable younger brother, Da Niu? I think he can handle it. Let him help me out. I'll give him spirit stones..."

Zhu Qi Niang thought for a moment and said, "Alright, in a few days, the Zhu family will be coming on a flying ship. There will be a lot of things to do."

Gao Xian asked with some concern, "Is everything alright?"

"The Zhu family wants to take over the Eternal Hall. Since Old Zhu has passed away, the medicine shop is mine. If they want to take it, they can pay with spirit stones."

Zhu Qi Niang remained indifferent, but Gao Xian knew that things were not that simple. He said seriously, "Qi Niang, no matter what happens, I will always be with you."

Zhu Qi Niang's expression became complicated as she said, "Don't say 'always.' There are no unchanging people or things in this world."

Gao Xian felt a little unhappy and said, "Qi Niang, I remember all the kindness you've shown me! I'm not making empty promises!"

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. I can handle it."

Seeing Gao Xian's seriousness, Zhu Qi Niang pondered for a moment and said, "Zhu Chang Sheng, who is in the Foundation Building stage, is currently in seclusion. I don't know when he will come out. Without his support, the Zhu family won't dare to act recklessly."

After Zhu Qi Niang left, Gao Xian felt uneasy. It seemed that the Zhu family's situation was a bit troublesome.

Indeed, the Eternal Hall was one of the most profitable businesses in the Fei Ma Ji. With such great interests at stake, the Zhu family would definitely want to take control.

Zhu Qi Niang was ultimately an outsider, and with Zhu Zhuang Guai's death, the Zhu family would certainly not trust her.

Gao Xian sighed. This matter involved the Zhu family and even the Lian Yun Sect, which was beyond his reach. He couldn't even find a way to help.

Da Niu quickly came to find Gao Xian, and Gao Xian explained the situation in detail and gave him a list.

Although this young man seemed a bit simple-minded, he was at the Qi Refining stage and cultivated the Primordial Origin Golden Body technique. Zhu Qi Niang said that this kid was very capable in both fighting and handling tasks.

Gao Xian gave Da Niu ten spirit stones and asked him to take care of things. If the money wasn't enough, he could come back to him.

Da Niu was willing to help out. He found it boring to sell medicine and handle medicinal materials every day in the medicine shop.

Gao Xian had always been good to him, always bringing him something whenever he returned from the mountains.

It could be a talisman or the meat of a demonic beast, never empty-handed.

Da Niu looked simple-minded, but he could clearly distinguish between good and bad treatment from others. He thought Gao Xian was a good person and was willing to work with him.

With Da Niu helping out, Gao Xian could focus on alchemy at home.

It was inconvenient to move the pile of medicinal materials at home, so he decided to refine them all into pills.

Gao Xian had a storage bag, although not large, it was more than enough to hold the pills.

After being busy for more than ten days, he had refined all the stored medicinal materials into pills.

This also marked a significant improvement in his alchemy skills. It was exceptionally easy for him to refine these low-level pills. He could produce over a thousand pills with a single furnace.

This time, he had refined a total of four thousand Deer Horn Powder pills, four thousand Tian Gui pills, and one thousand each of Gu Yuan pills, Bai Lu pills, and Hui Qi pills.

With all the medicinal materials processed, Gao Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

While he was idle, Zhou Yu Ling came to find him. Because she had been busy during this period, Gao Xian hadn't seen her for over a month.

"Yu Ling, you've finally come. I missed you."

Gao Xian reached out to hug her, but Zhou Yu Ling pointed at his chest with her finger to stop him. She smiled and said, "If I didn't come to find you, would you not come to find me?"

"I'm just afraid your father will suspect something." Gao Xian and Zhou Yu Ling were familiar with each other, and they spoke without any reservations.

"Ugh, that's my father." Zhou Yu Ling blushed a little at Gao Xian's words. She lightly scolded him but couldn't hide her happiness in her heart.

Seeing Zhou Yu Ling's shy and beautiful appearance, Gao Xian couldn't help but hug her tightly.

"What are you doing?"

"The weather is too cold. I'm helping you get rid of the cold!"

This answer had a greasy feeling of a middle-aged office worker. Zhou Yu Ling couldn't help but burst into laughter. She didn't resist anymore and let Gao Xian hold her tightly.

Zhou Yu Ling also had to admit that in the cold weather, having a warm embrace was quite comfortable...
