Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

"Perhaps we can rent a Tier Two Spirit Vein here to use as our temporary dwelling."

Su Weiwei immediately gathered a lot of useful information and was overjoyed.

"They actually rented out a Tier Two Spirit Vein?"

"Weren't the Golden Core Sects of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range previously treating Tier Two Spirit Veins as their private property?"

"And now they are willing to rent them out?"

Jiang Fan raised his eyebrows.

Initially, he planned to live in Sun City, but if there was a Tier Two Spirit Vein available, then naturally, there would be no need to stay in Sun City. Besides, he had many secrets, and his cultivation made quite a commotion.

He was not particularly keen on living in this place anyway.

"It's said that the Golden Core Zhenren of the Great Sun Sword Sect suffered quite significant injuries during the previous struggle for the Nascent Soul Cave Mansion."

"To heal the Golden Core Zhenren, the Great Sun Sword Sect has been selling all sorts of assets recently and plans to go to Xuanjian City to purchase healing elixirs. Thus, to earn a large amount of spirit stones, they have also started renting out their Tier Two Spirit Veins."

"After all, for them, it's better to earn something than nothing."

Su Weiwei explained.

Apparently, during the time Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei left the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, the battles among the major Golden Core Sects became increasingly intense.

Especially as they were also involved in the war between the Profound Celestial Sword Sect and the Shennong Sect, both Nascent Soul powers.

Some Golden Core Zhenrens even became enforcers for the opposing side.

As a result, some Golden Core Zhenrens were severely injured in this war.

Frankly, this for the Great Sun Sword Sect, was nothing short of a catastrophe.

Because the entire Great Sun Sword Sect had only one Golden Core Zhenren.

If this Golden Core Zhenren were to fall, then the Great Sun Sword Sect would be utterly doomed, incapable of even protecting their foundation.

So, to heal this Golden Core Zhenren, they were willing to do whatever it took.

"With such a big issue in the Great Sun Sword Sect, don't other Golden Core Sects have any thoughts?"

Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow, not expecting the Great Sun Sword Sect to fall into such enormous trouble so quickly.

When he first arrived at the Cyan Forest Market, the Great Sun Sword Sect was a giant occupying the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, causing countless loose cultivators to tremble in fear.

It was like a parasite, constantly sucking the blood of loose cultivators.

But the loose cultivators were helpless.

He too had been exploited quite a bit by the Great Sun Sword Sect.

However, he didn't hold a particularly strong grudge against the Great Sun Sword Sect, as it was the norm in the Cultivation Realm.

But if they were unlucky, it wouldn't stop him from gloating.

"Other Golden Core Sects are probably also powerless now."

"For instance, the Five Elements Pill Sect, Snow Sect, and White Bird Sect—all have Golden Core Zhenrens who are seriously injured too."

"So, they're in the same boat, troubled by their own sect's issues."

"And this is why it has become a rare peaceful period in the peripheral area of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range."

"Life for loose cultivators seems to have improved a lot."

Su Weiwei explained.

She hadn't expected the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to become like this.

But from this, it was clear that leaving the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range was a very correct decision back then.

Otherwise, as loose cultivators, they would definitely get caught up in the Golden Core Sects' wars.

Surviving it would be a great uncertainty.

However, returning to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range now might be the best timing.

After all, now that the war in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range has just ended, major Golden Core influences are licking their wounds.

They definitely don't have the capacity to initiate a second Golden Core war.

Thus, coming to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to cultivate means one need not worry about other calamities.

What's more, demon cultivators rarely come to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

Considering both factors, staying in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to cultivate is indeed a great choice.

"How many spirit stones are needed to rent a Tier Two Spirit Vein?"

Jiang Fan inquired.

"Three thousand spirit stones per year should suffice."

"But the Great Sun Sword Sect requires a minimum of ten years."

"So, you must pay thirty thousand spirit stones to the Great Sun Sword Sect."

Su Weiwei shared the information she gathered.

"No wonder they are willing to rent out a Tier Two Spirit Vein; turns out it's a highly profitable business."

"But we are in need of a Tier Two Spirit Vein, so we have no choice but to rent."

Jiang Fan was rather helpless.

This is the downside of not having one's own territory.

Wherever they went, they needed to find a new spirit vein to live.

The higher the tier of the cultivator, the greater the demand for spirit veins.

But this is also something unavoidable.

If there is no support from a spirit vein, relying solely on the natural Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi cannot satisfy the needs for cultivation.

Especially for cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage, their needs are naturally incomparable to those of the Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators.

Of course, without a spirit vein, it is not impossible to cultivate.

However, in this case, the cultivation speed will be extremely slow, unbearably slow.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

In no time, Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei arrived at the administration office of Sun City, requesting to rent a tier two spirit vein.

The person in charge of managing such matters was a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Great Sun Sword Sect, Peng Mingzhong, two hundred years old, seventh-layer Foundation Establishment.

The reason he came to manage Sun City was naturally because he had almost no hope of advancing to the Golden Core stage, so he became part of the management, assisting in managing various affairs of the Great Sun Sword Sect.

"Are these two fellow Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

"Welcome to Sun City."

"Currently, we still have three tier two spirit veins left."

"They are Plum Blossom Peak, Purple Spirit Peak, and Green Bamboo Peak."

"I wonder which mountain peak the two of you wish to reside on?"

Foundation Establishment cultivator Peng Mingzhong smiled slightly and introduced.

Originally, the Great Sun Sword Sect mainly aimed to recruit external Foundation Establishment cultivators, hoping they would become Honored Guest Elders.

After all, each additional Foundation Establishment cultivator strengthens the Great Sun Sword Sect's power.

Over time, the sect's power becomes incredibly robust.

But now, it's different. Due to the severe injury of the Golden Core Zhenren, what they lack the most are spirit stones.

Therefore, they temporarily do not recruit these external Foundation Establishment cultivators.

If the Golden Core Zhenren does not recover and survive, then these Honored Guest Elders would be burdensome.

In crucial times, these Honored Guest Elders might not even be reliable.

Bang~~

At this moment, Jiang Fan sensed the Fortune-Telling Talisman in the depths of his Elixir Field and Sea of Qi vibrating, and a message instantly entered the depths of his consciousness sea.

"Choosing a spirit vein, hidden is fortune and misfortune, choose cautiously, blessing and curse are determined by oneself."

Feeling this message, he was secretly astonished, not expecting that simply choosing a tier two spirit vein would trigger a warning from the Fortune-Telling Talisman, indicating that there must be risks involved.

Soon after, the message surfaced again.

"Going to Plum Blossom Peak, nothing gained, nothing lost, peaceful."

"Going to Purple Spirit Peak, handle with caution, surprising but safe, a seventh-grade opportunity may be obtained, minor fortune."

"Going to Green Bamboo Peak, changes might occur, unavoidable, ominous."

Clearly, the mountain peaks where the three tier two spirit veins were located would lead to different encounters.

Going to Plum Blossom Peak would not bring disaster but also no gain, everything is ordinary.

However, if one goes to Purple Spirit Peak, there's a chance to gain a seventh-grade opportunity without hidden dangers.

But going to Green Bamboo Peak would be unlucky, potentially encountering a disaster.

And such disaster would probably not be small.

Otherwise, as a dignified ninth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator, he has the ability to withstand many disasters; ordinary disasters would seem like a mere breeze, only a great disaster could be considered ominous.

Although he did not know what disaster lay at Green Bamboo Peak, he naturally would not foolishly choose Green Bamboo Peak.

"I would like Purple Spirit Peak."

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan straightforwardly said, choosing to rent Purple Spirit Peak.

"No problem."

"You just need to pay thirty thousand spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Foundation Establishment cultivator Peng Mingzhong smiled faintly, a joyful expression on his face.

After all, the Great Sun Sword Sect was in great need of money, and the more spirit stones, the better.

And this tier two spirit vein placed here could not generate any profit, so renting it out is more beneficial.

This can also be considered resource utilization.

Because the Great Sun Sword Sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators are not particularly numerous, but they control many tier two spirit veins.

So they are naturally willing to rent out these tier two spirit veins.

Once the lease term concludes, they can reclaim them.

Therefore, the Great Sun Sword Sect has nothing to worry about, as ownership still belongs to them.

The other party merely has usage rights.

"Hmm."

Jiang Fan nodded, paid the thirty thousand spirit stones, completed a series of procedures, and then obtained a ten-year usage right for Purple Spirit Peak. If he wishes to continue renting thereafter, more spirit stones will be required.

However, he may not necessarily stay at Purple Spirit Peak for very long.

So ten years is entirely sufficient.

And Purple Spirit Peak is at least two to three hundred kilometers away from Sun City.

Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei quickly left Sun City and headed to Purple Spirit Peak.
