Chapter 2: Divine Workshop

  The amount of information stored in a single jade slip is extremely large, and this fat monk actually produced more than a dozen, just from this point alone, it can be seen how big the Ziwei City is.

  Li Hui looked at the numerous jade slips, his face slightly bitter. He casually picked one up and quickly browsed through it with his spiritual sense. Although he only roughly scanned them, half a time unit passed before Li Hui finished looking through a few of them. However, he already had an idea in mind. He took out one of the slips and handed it over: "Let's take a look at number 37,412!"

  Among the jade slips browsed by Guang Li Hui, the number of mansion numbers recorded has reached tens of millions, and this is only a small part of the jade slips placed by the fat monk.

  Among these mansions, there are large estates that can accommodate a sect, and simple cave dwellings suitable for one person to live in. Li Hui chose a small and elegant courtyard on a small spiritual vein.

  According to the information in this jade slip, this Ziwu City is extremely large. The entire city encompasses several major spiritual veins and more than a dozen minor spiritual veins. There are high mountains and great lakes within the city as well. Just the aura of this city alone is enough to move and shock people.

  He took the jade slip and scanned it, then smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist has a good eye for this mansion. It is located on a small spiritual vein, with abundant spiritual energy, which is very beneficial for cultivation. Moreover, not far from here is a large market, and the scale of this mansion is just right for the two of you to live in!"

  This fat monk obviously also regards Li Hui and Han Xue as a pair of Taoist companions.

  Li Hui smiled slightly and did not say anything, while Han Xue remained calm and expressionless.

  That fat monk took out a white jade token from inside, but it was placed on the side without being handed over to Li Hui. He smiled and said: "Is that friend preparing to buy this mansion completely or rent it for some days?"

  "Rent it for a hundred years!" Li Hui replied calmly.

  The mansions in this city can be thoroughly bought as their own private property, or they can only be rented to live in. During the rental period, these mansions can be treated as their own private property and no one will go to interfere. However, after the expiration of the contract, if it is not renewed, Ziwu City will take back the house.

  The lease term for a fief is fifty years, and renting is relatively more cost-effective. Only those who plan to start their own sect would spend a huge amount of money to completely buy out some large-scale fiefs similar to mountain estates.

  "Alright, renting a hundred-year-old dwelling will cost five thousand pieces of low-grade spirit stones!" The fat monk smiled at Li Hui.

  Although he had previously introduced the cost of renting this mansion for a hundred years in Yu Jian, Li Hui still felt a sharp pain, as he had a lot of spiritual stones, but it was not enough to withstand such expenses.

  Li Hui took out 500 mid-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and placed them on the counter with a pained expression: "This is all my wealth!" In fact, an ordinary foundation-building cultivator would estimate that this was indeed all his wealth. However, Li Hui had obtained several hundred mid-grade spirit stones just by killing Xiao Shaojun, not to mention the even more stored in the immortal mansion.

  In saying so, on one hand, it's to cover up and shift the blame, which Li Hui naturally understands. On the other hand, he also feels a slight twinge of pain.

  Fat Master Ling's spiritual awareness probed out and cleared up these spirit stones, only then did he smile and hand over the white jade token with one hand, while the other hand waved quickly to put away those spirit stones, as if afraid that Li Hui would regret it.

  "This token is the proof that the Taoist friend has been using this mansion for a hundred years, and it is also used to control the restrictions in the mansion. After a hundred years, if the Taoist friend does not renew the lease of this mansion, someone will naturally come to retrieve this token." The fat monk added.

  Li Hui took over the token and turned around to leave with Han Xue as they were about to depart from the building.

  "Two seniors, please stay!"

  The voice of the Qi-refining stage cultivator who had just led the way came from behind.

  "What's wrong?" Li Hui furrowed his brow, his voice somewhat chilly.

  "Don't get me wrong, senior!" The cultivator at the Refining stage saw Li Hui getting a bit angry and quickly explained: "My junior name is Zhang Ping, I've been living in this Ziwei City since birth. Senior just arrived here, if you want to do something in the city, it's inevitable that there will be some inconvenience. I can be your guide... of course, senior only needs to reward me with a few spirit stones when the time comes."

  Li Hui suddenly understood that Zhang Ping was making a living by doing this, and just now he thought Zhang Ping was a monk who specialized in receiving guests in the city.

  A thought struck him and he said to Ping, "Take me to see what kind of material shops and equipment markets this city has. You won't be short on rewards."

  Ping initially saw that Li Hui's face didn't look good and thought it was hopeless, but upon hearing Li Hui's words, he became happy again: "Senior, the place I know is quite far from the market, so..."

  Li Hui understood Zhang Ping's meaning and with a wave of his hand, the Breaking Wind Dart was already launched: "Come up and lead the way!"

  Na Zhang Ping happily boarded the broken wind arrow, Li Hui cast a spell, flying into the air, Han Xue also rode the Qingfeng sword and rose into the air.

  "Senior, that town is twenty miles southeast from here!" Zhang Ping pointed out the way.

  The three of them flew away in the direction Zhang Ping had pointed out.

  After a moment, the three of them fell onto an exceptionally wide main street, with tall buildings on both sides, all of which were various shops and markets with huge signboards hanging outside.

  "Please follow me this way!" Zhang Ping walked down from the airship and led the way with respect.

  In front of the gate of a large sign that read "Divine Workshop", Zhang Ping stopped and introduced: "Two seniors, this Divine Workshop is the best equipment workshop in Purple Wei City. The various materials for refining equipment are also very complete, and they also collect and sell various refining materials. Master Lu Liangbiao, the master craftsman of the workshop, is a senior in the foundation period. He has produced many top-grade spiritual instruments with his hands, of course, the material must be good too." After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Hui with eyes full of expectation.

  Li Hui patted his storage bag and took out twenty pieces of low-grade spirit stones, handing them to Zhang Pingdao: "Thanks for your hard work, take these spirit stones!"

  Zhang Ping's eyebrows opened with a smile as he accepted the spirit stones: "It's not hard work, being able to serve seniors is a honor for juniors. If the two seniors have any other needs, please instruct me, I will definitely do my best to serve the two seniors."

  "For now, there's nothing else, you can go attend to other things." Li Hui said calmly.

  Ping naturally understood the meaning of Li Hui's words and tactfully took his leave.

  "Xue Er, let's go take a look at this divine workshop. The signboard is quite impressive, but I don't know if it lives up to its reputation." Li Hui said to Han Xue.

  With no one else around, Han Xue's face was no longer that cold, and she smiled at Li Hui, the two of them walking together into the Divine Workshop.

  "Welcome, two seniors, to our humble abode. Are the two seniors here to purchase some materials or perhaps to refine equipment?" A neat and tidy young servant came forward to greet them, also a Qi Refining stage cultivator.

  "I have some materials for sale and also want to refine equipment, call your family's shopkeeper to talk!" Li Hui said indifferently.

  That young man also spent a lot of time in this divine workshop, and the number of monks he received every day was countless. At the sight of Li Hui, he immediately understood that it was probably a big business coming to the door, and his demeanor became more respectful: "Please wait for a moment, I will report to the two seniors immediately!"

  Li Hui nodded silently and stood still with Han Xue, waiting for the young servant to quickly run up to the second floor.

  "Haha, I've kept the two of you waiting for a long time. May I ask who you are?" Before long, a middle-aged cultivator with a black hat and two tassels hanging from the back of his hat appeared on the stairs, greeting Li Hui and the other person as he walked down.

  "We two just returned from the Great Marsh, with some things to sell, and also want to refine one or two spiritual artifacts. I heard that your honorable workshop has a Master Lu who can refine top-grade spiritual artifacts, so we came to take a look." Li Hui said calmly.

  That Taoist priest's heart moved, and he thought that everyone who came back from the big marsh had some good things on them. Looking at this priest's confident appearance, he was probably carrying some valuable items. With a smile on his face, he said: "My surname is Sun, I don't know how to address you two Taoist friends?"

  "My surname is Mu!" Li Hui said calmly, taking out a "mu" character from his own surname "Li".

  "Haha, Mu Daoist friend, and this Daoist friend upstairs, please!" Sun surname Jizhong repairman called out.

  The three of them went upstairs together, and the room upstairs was a spacious and elegant room with an area of over ten square meters. It was obviously used to receive more important guests. The Sun surname foundation repair monk invited the two to sit down, and immediately a rather charming maid brought in three cups of spiritual tea.

  After a cup of tea, the Sun surname foundation repair monk finally spoke up and asked: "I don't know what kind of materials Brother Mu has to sell, I'd like to take a look."

  Li Hui didn't say a word, patted the storage bag with his hand, and a large pile of materials appeared on the table.

  "This is..." Sun surname's foundation repairman looked through these materials one by one: "Black Water Rhinoceros' rhino skin and horn... Golden Thunder Leopard's leopard claw..." with a few parts of joy on his face.

  Li Hui, however, calmly sipped his spiritual tea and waited until the Sun surname foundation repair monk finished checking. Only then did he lightly say: "Sun shopkeeper, to be honest with you, these materials are just some ordinary things I collected this time. As for the really good stuff..." He paused and stopped speaking.

  Old Sun was overjoyed to hear that there were even better things, his eyes almost shining with excitement. The goods already on the table were a big deal in themselves, and it seemed that today was indeed a day of great fortune.

  "Wooden path friend, if there's anything good, just take it out, our humble shop will definitely not lose to the Taoist friend... How about this, the materials on the table are worth three thousand lower-grade spirit stones, what do you think?" Sun Zhanggui said with a sincere face.

  Li Hui's heart moved, the materials on the table were just what he and Han Xue had hunted down during their journey, three thousand low-grade spirit stones, this price was absolutely fair.

  But on the surface, he remained unmoved and even deliberately put on a difficult expression: "Director Sun, I do have good things here, but these items are not easy to come by, and there's even an element of luck involved. What if..."

  Sun the shopkeeper understood Li Hui's meaning as soon as he heard it: "Don't worry, Master Wu, keeping secrets for customers is the most basic business principle of our small store. You can go out and ask about the reputation of Shen Gong Fang!"

  Li Hui deliberately put on a difficult expression and hesitated for a moment before saying, "In that case, I don't have anything to worry about either!"

  But he stood up and walked to the center of the room, only then did he pat the storage bag with his hand, secretly urging the immortal mansion, a white light flashed, and the huge body of Tie Yan Chui fell heavily to the ground, shaking the floor slightly.

  "This is..." Sun Zhanggui was initially puzzled, but immediately became ecstatic: "This is actually the complete body of a late-stage Ironrock Crocodile! Wood Daoist friend, how did you obtain it?"

  Li Hui's face sank and he fell silent.

  Sun Zhanggui's face also had a few points of embarrassment, and he said in a low voice: "Mu Daoist friend, I was momentarily excited and lost my composure. Please don't blame me!"
