Zhao Di walked alone into the second floor hall and found that there were already three or four foundation-building cultivators sitting in square chairs waiting.

  Among them, a mid-term Longxiu monk was handling the rental procedures for the cave mansion. A short young man in the early stage of Longxiu stood about ten feet behind him.

  There are also two middle-aged cultivators, one fat and one thin, who are both in the later stages of foundation building, and it is highly likely that they are also preparing to break through to the Golden Core stage.

  The two of them did not rush to choose a cave, but instead sat in a secluded location, whispering secretly using a sound-transmitting technique.

  At this scene, Zhao Di lined up behind that foundation-building early-stage cultivator.

  That short young man swept his eyes over Zhao Di, sensing that the youth in front of him, who looked like he was only in his early twenties and had a delicate appearance, had an unfathomable cultivation base, at least in the later stages of foundation building. He immediately bowed and saluted, insisting on letting Zhao Di go first.

  Zhao Di did not decline either, thanked him and openly took his place in front.

  At this time, he was less than three zhang away from the two late-stage Jiedan cultivators who were whispering to each other. With his extraordinary spiritual sense that surpassed that of his peers, combined with the proximity and the fact that these two had not employed any isolation techniques, under Zhao Di's deliberate eavesdropping, the whispers of the two unknowingly fell into his ears.

  "That place is in the jurisdiction of Yingzhou Xian Island, isn't it too dangerous? I've heard that every year, many unlucky cultivators on Yingzhou Xian Island are sucked out of their souls and refined, even their corpses aren't spared and are refined as well. The evil path cultivators' methods are sinister and unpredictable, if we encounter them, it won't be easy to deal with!" said the thinner middle-aged cultivator.

  "Although that place was first discovered by a major sect of the Xuanzhou Immortal Island, it has been jointly taken over by the three major immortal islands. This time, both our Righteous Alliance and the Fangzhang Immortal Island's Hundred Sects Alliance will send out large numbers of Foundation Establishment disciples to participate, so I'm not afraid that evil cultivators will try to deceive us!" The fat cultivator said nonchalantly.

  "Although I said that, I still feel uneasy. If so many people go, how many can get those two treasures? It's inevitable that there will be another bloody fight. At that time, the elite cultivators of the foundation period will gather in that place, and under such circumstances, the probability of falling is much higher than hunting monsters alone!"

  "Hey, if you want to get treasures like the Three Flame Heaven Fire Liquid and the Nine Cold Xuanming Water, how can there be no risk at all!" The fat monk said with a slightly disdainful expression, "Don't worry, I've already inquired clearly! That place is difficult to enter, but it's easy to exit. As long as we find the treasure, we can leave the danger zone at any time."

  Zhao Di's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this! The Three Flame Heaven Fire Liquid and the Nine Cold Xuanming Water are two kinds of spiritual water with extremely hot and cold properties. When striking the Dan furnace, if one applies these two spiritual waters to their body, it can stimulate the body's hidden potential, making the Dantian more stable, thus increasing the success rate of forming the Dan by 10% to 50%.

  If it weren't for these two spiritual waters, Zhao Di would also buy other cold and hot attribute spiritual liquids in the market, but the effect would be greatly discounted, and it could only be said that it was better than nothing!

  Three Flame Heaven Fire Liquid and Nine Cold Xuanming Water are produced after thousands or even tens of thousands of years of evolution in some extreme environments, and there is only a tiny bit of them. The Star Ocean has been extinct for many years, and Zhao Di doesn't have any intention of getting these two treasures at all.

  But at this time, he heard that there was news of the whereabouts of these two treasures, and he immediately became attentive.

  It seemed that the two of them had already discussed it and were both deep in thought, silent.

  At this time, the monk in front of Zhao Di had already selected a satisfactory cave and handed over the spirit stone before leaving the building.

  In charge of managing the rental cave mansion were two monks from the late foundation period, one old and one young, wearing uniform Orthodox Alliance attire.

  The two of them noticed Zhao Di's cultivation after reaching the peak, and the older one politely said: "Fellow Daoist is going to choose a cave with abundant spiritual energy to use for breaking through to the Golden Dan stage."

  Another young monk-like cultivator also followed and said, "In our Penglai Fairy Island, many cultivators have successfully condensed the elixir over the years. We two wish fellow daoist all the best!"

  "Thank you both!" Zhao Di smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said: "I have come for this very purpose, I wonder if you two have any recommendations. Best is a place with dense spiritual energy, yet relatively quiet, I don't like noisy places."

  "Haha, such a cave naturally exists, but the price is slightly higher. However, compared to its value, it's absolutely worth it. It's just that the most abundant spiritual energy on Penglai Peak is mostly occupied by seniors above the foundation-building period, and we foundation-building cultivators can't enjoy it." The old man replied.

  "Not bad, on the 16th floor of Shangqing Peak, there is a cave mansion with a wide range of land, and no other cave mansions exist within dozens of miles around it, which is very suitable for a quiet cultivator like you. Although the density of spiritual energy is slightly inferior to Penglai Peak, it is also a top-grade spiritual vein. The young man took out a scroll and unfolded it in front of Zhao Di, saying: "There is also a cave mansion on the 14th floor of Shangqing Peak, although it's smaller, but the price is much cheaper. In addition, Yuqing Peak 19th floor is also very good."

  On this several-foot-long scroll, three towering and elegant mountain peaks are painted. The mountain peaks are dotted with dense golden and silver light spots.

  "Wherever there is a manifestation of spiritual light, it is the location of a cave dwelling. The golden ones indicate that someone has already taken up residence. The silver ones are available for fellow Taoists to choose from at will." The old man added.

  The young man pointed at several places on the scroll, all of which were places with silver spiritual light, exactly the few Dantian he had just recommended.

  Just like the huge scroll seen on Xing Island, Zhao Di only needs to lock his divine sense onto a certain silver light point and it will display information about this place, including size, spiritual energy density, additional functions, price and other content that cultivators care most about.

  Zhao Di carefully examined it and then selected a place, saying: "Thank you for pointing out the way, I'll choose this Yu Qing Peak 17th floor's No. 7 cave!"

  "Good eyes, my friend! This cave has all the functions and the attached restrictions are quite formidable. Compared to the price of 300 spirit stones per year, it's a great value! However, these caves are rented for 50 years, and you need to pay 15,000 spirit stones!" The old man said with an approving expression.

  Zhao couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, thinking that no matter where he chose next, the old man would probably say something similar.

  He chose this place very simply, it's secluded enough and the facilities are quite complete. The refining room, the alchemy room, the meditation room, the bedroom, everything is available, and there is even a not-so-small backyard that can be used to plant spiritual herbs. Although Zhao Di had no intention of planting spiritual herbs, this place could also allow his Ice Wind Python to play and have fun.

  Spirit beasts are different from humans and can't always stay in a quiet room for bitter practice, which will slowly grind away their wild nature as a demon beast and discount their strength. It's also very necessary to let the spirit beasts out for some exercise occasionally.

  In addition, the restrictive mechanism attached to this cave is also a very famous small five-element restriction array, which not only has high defensive power but also excels in spiritual blockade, allowing him to cultivate with peace of mind.

  The price of 15,000 spirit stones is equivalent to over a dozen third- or fourth-grade demon pellets. Generally, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would need to risk their life and spend years hunting demons in the Starry Sea Domain to earn this much income.

  The people of Zhengdao Meng only need to rent out these caves and they can get a large income, not to mention the huge taxes paid by the Penglai Fairy Island!

  Thinking about it, this alliance is really a way to make money!

  Zhao Di took out over a hundred mid-grade spirit stones with a painful expression and handed them to the old man. The old man checked them with a smile, then immediately took out an exquisite palm-sized jade plate and a jade slip, handing them to Zhao Di. On the scroll, he marked the spot of spiritual light on the 17th floor of Yu Qing Peak as already rented.

  Then, Zhao Di was asked to register his name and the sect he belonged to. He wrote down his own name and the two words "Loose Cultivator" before leaving this building.

  But Zhao Di did not go far, but quietly guarded beside the three-story building.
