Chapter 534: Chapter 227: Tallying the Spoils of War, A Significant Harvest_3
Standing next to Luo Chen, she blinked her big eyes incessantly, watching Luo Chen closely, as if she was worried that he might run away.
Her actions naturally came into Sima Huiniang’s view.
Could it be that the other party already knew of Luo Chen’s intentions?
“This is Sima Huiniang, I’m the President of the Luo Tian Creed.” Luo Chen pointed to the side as he gave a simple introduction.
Shi Lan looked at Sima Huiniang in surprise.
“Being a President is about gathering and judging, but why not the Sect’s head? Being in charge of the whole Sect”
Luo Chen shook his head, “The Luo Tian Creed is of modest scale, how could we claim to be a Sect.”
“Senior is being humble. If you can achieve Foundation Establishment at such a young age, the Golden Core Period will surely be within your reach very soon. When the time comes, setting up a mountain to establish the Sect is only a matter of time!”
This young girl had such a pleasing way of speaking!
After flattering Luo Chen, Shi Lan enthusiastically introduced herself to Sima Huiniang:
“President Sima, My name is Shi Lan, a disciple of the Ice Castle. Should the Luo Tian Creed ever need my assistance, don’t hesitate to contact me!”
“In that case, I won’t hesitate to ask for your help frequently in the future.”
“Haha, there’s no need to be so courteous.”
While they were chatting, the three of them entered the Binglan Palace.
Now, there were also Foundation Establishment True Cultivators coming to rent Immortal Mansions and storefronts.
But Shi Lan paid them no attention, letting the other female disciples take care of them.
She dedicated all her attention to staying by Luo Chen’s side, worrying that someone might come over and strike up a conversation.
“Please, Senior, follow me to the second floor!”
Luo Chen politely complied and followed her up to the second floor.
Then, a huge sand table appeared before their eyes.
At the centre of the sand table was the largest piece of land, the Tian Lan Immortal City!
Then there were the hustling mountains and rivers scattered around the city.
Many places were marked with red dots, and some even had corresponding names.
Luo Chen had only taken one glance before he spotted familiar names such as the Tianyi District, Peach Mountain, and the Divine Craft Clan.
Aside from these, there were a small number of white dots emitting a faint glow.
The gaze of the three people immediately fell on these white dots.
They were lands with no occupants!
Or rather, these places were nominally under the jurisdiction of Tian Lan Immortal City.
However, they were not currently occupied by any significant powers.
Shi Lan picked up a long jade ruler, her high ponytail swaying behind her.
“I heard from Senior Luo Chen earlier that he wanted to rent a place with a First Order Spirit Vein.”
“After coming back, I specifically took inventory of such places and picked out seven places that are most suitable for Luo Tian Creed.”
“Firstly, there’s Mirror Lake! This used to be the territory of the Fu family’s Talisman, unfortunately, the Fu family’s Foundation Establishment Stage Ancestor died and there was no one to succeed him. Ten years ago, they stopped renting it and it’s been vacant ever since.”
The Fu family from Mirror Lake.
Sima Huiniang’s lips curled up slightly at the corners.
“This place has a natural First Order Spirit Vein, which is a Spirit Spring. Strictly speaking, it is also a First Order tributary derived from Tianlan Peak’s Third Order Spirit Land.”
“This place can support the daily cultivation of hundreds of Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators.”
Sima Huiniang curiously asked, “How much is the rent?”
Shi Lan raised a finger, “Ten thousand spirit stones per year, with a lease of at least ten years!”
“That’s expensive!”
Sima Huiniang was taken aback.
This price is almost on par with a Second Order Cave Mansion on Tianlan Peak.
“There’s a good reason why it’s so expensive, President Sister.”
Shi Lan gave a sweet smile and pointed her jade ruler at the white dot on the sand table.
Immediately, an image of a pond that covered several dozens of acres appeared above the sand table.
“Mirror Lake produces twenty-seven kinds of spirit fish and also contains many types of aquatic Spirit Plants.”
“In the past, the Fu family became famous in Tianlan for their Talismans due to the fact that they used the papers made from three kinds of water grass as talisman paper. This could amplify their techniques and the effects are generally stronger than ordinary talismans.”
Sima Huiniang suddenly realized.
She even understood why the Fu family had migrated all the way and didn’t stop at the fair on the way, but went straight to The Great River District.
The Great River District there, because of the Lancang River, is also rich in various waterborne Spirit Plants.
After absorbing the Fu family who made talismans from beast skins, their future was undoubtedly brighter.
Unfortunately, before they could expand ambitiously, they were nipped in the bud by Luo Tian Creed.
Shi Lan was full of confidence, Mirror Lake was one of the places she specifically recommended.
The previous owners hadn’t left long ago.
The structures inside only needed a little cleanup before they could be used directly.
If she could lease it out, she could make a good profit from the spirit stones!
Unfortunately.
“Let’s consider another place.”
Luo Chen shook his head, obviously not satisfied with Mirror Lake.
Shi Lan scratched her head confusedly, and the jade ruler pointed to another place.
“Bamboo Sea, it’s vast and even connected to Qingdan Valley. It possesses seven major Spirit Bamboos and produces Bamboo Rice. The taste and Spirit Qi are superior to ordinary Spirit Rice, but its cultivation and harvesting is time-consuming and requires a large amount of manpower. If this were to be used as the foundation…”
“Consider another one!”
“Phoenix Tree Mountain, it is said to be a Spirit Mountain transformed from the Breath of the Phoenix. There is a First Order Earth Fire within the mountain, the only drawback is that the mountain is too small…”
“Keep it for consideration.”
“Moon Ning Bay, adjacent to the Luosha District, it is a major traffic artery and suitable for business. However, it is vulnerable to raids by Calamity Cultivators, thus it has not been rented out for a long time. The annual rent is eight thousand spirit stones.”
…
A series of vivid images appeared in turns above the sand table.
Suddenly.
Luo Chen pointed to a grayish-white light on the sand table.
“Can you introduce this place to us?”
The jade ruler pointed to a grayish-white light. Immediately, a towering mountain shining with a seven-colored glow appeared before their eyes.
