Chapter 128 - 128: New House
In the early morning, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Chang’an City returned to silence.
There were only patrolling soldiers in armor roaming the streets. Once someone was found to be staying behind without any accommodation in Chang’an City to return to, they would be expelled and fined.
The quiet Chang’an City was like a resting fierce beast, quietly absorbing energy.
Li Qingshan sat cross-legged in his room, breathing and waiting for the daylight to arrive.
A night passed, and a faint white light appeared in the sky.
At dawn, Chang’an City became lively.
The shops selling breakfast and tea on the streets opened their doors, ushering in a new day.
Li Qingshan left the inn early in the morning. He asked others for directions along the way and finally found a real estate agency.
Li Qingshan had a property agent introduce him to the houses for rent in Chang’an City enthusiastically and patiently.
“Are there any houses for sale in Chang’an?” Li Qingshan asked.
He thought that if he wanted to rent a house for a long period of time, he might as well buy one himself.
The property agent smiled. He was fat and appeared a little naive, making himself look very friendly. Due to such an impression, his business was very good.
“Customer, do you want to buy a house? That’s not cheap,” the property agent said.
“Why not?” Li Qingshan asked curiously.
“Customer, Chang’an City is a safe zone, located in the center of the
Dimensional Battlefield. It is one of the most popular places in the entire Dimensional Battlefield. The property prices here have always been high. Many people who buy houses are unwilling to sell them. They only want to rent them out. Even if there are houses for sale, the price is astronomical,” the property agent explained carefully.
Li Qingshan had a strange expression on his face.
He inexplicably recalled his previous life.
“The housing prices here are not calculated by square meters, right?” Li Qingshan asked curiously.
“In Chang’an City, the minimum price for a square meter is 200,000 points. Currently, the minimum size for a house is 100 square meters, and a small courtyard is included. Do you still want to buy a house?” the property agent said softly.
Li Qingshan shook his head silently and didn’t want to ask anymore.
He thought he was already on par with a millionaire with more than 30 ,ooo points, which was at least much more than the 8,000 points he had when he first arrived.
However, he couldn’t even afford a square meter of the cheapest house in
Chang’an.
Li Qingshan cried silently in his heart.
In his previous life, he could not afford a house.
He still couldn’t afford a house in this life.
Comparing the two cities of Wei City and Chang’an City, Li Qingshan thought it was funny how he would be considered wealthy in Wei City with just 8,000 points but a peasant in Chang’an with 30,000 points.
Li Qingshan knew that he was considered very poor in Chang’an City. He no longer asked about buying a house. Instead, he said rationally, “I want to rent a house for a year. On the cheaper side. Even if it’s in a remote location.”
He had thought that 30,000 points was a lot.
Now, Li Qingshan felt that he had to save some money.
“Sir, I have a house here. It’s located in the East City of Chang’an. The location is a little remote, but the price is not bad. It costs 35,000 points,” the property agent thought for a moment and said.
“Is it a standalone house?” Li Qingshan asked.
“Yes. Also, if you want to rent it, I can give you a tip.” The property agent raised his brows at Li Qingshan.
“What news?” Li Qingshan asked curiously.
“Two days ago, a peerless beauty rented the building next to this house. The two of you will be neighbors. I guarantee her beauty exceeds that of the moon in the nightscape, ” the property agent said.
“I’m not interested in women,” Li Qingshan calmly stated.
“I didn’t think I was close to women before, mainly because I haven’t met anyone as beautiful as her.” The property agent chuckled.
Li Qingshan was too lazy to argue with him. He said directly, “Take me to see the house. If it’s suitable, I’ll rent it today.”
Li Qingshan had 36,000 points.
Of which, 35,000 belonged to the gang and 1,000 belonged to Li Qingshan himself.
Hearing his words, the property agent immediately brought Li Qingshan around Chang’an City.
Chang’an City was very huge. It was divided into two sides by a river, which became the East City and the West City.
When the property agent brought Li Qingshan to the front of the house, Li Qingshan found that it was an exquisite single-family house. The things inside were well-arranged and very elegant.
Li Qingshan immediately decided to rent it after a glance.
Although the location was a little remote, the environment of the house was quite good.
The remote location made it quiet, and Li Qingshan needed peace.
After communicating with the property agent, he finally rented it for a year with 35,000 points.
After signing the contract in black and white, Li Qingshan and the property agent were very satisfied.
“Dear customer, I wish you a happy life. Also, pay more attention to the beauty next door,” the property agent said softly with a smile, then waved goodbye.
Li Qingshan ignored those words. He rented the house for cultivation, not for the beauty.
After he closed the door, he observed a layer of dust in the room. Li Qingshan cast a purifying spell, and a breeze blew over every inch of the room, bringing the dust out.
Since then, Li Qingshan had been cultivating in Chang’an.
“After the Ascension Immortal cultivation plane, there’s still the Wanderer cultivation plane, the Longevity cultivation plane, and the Divine cultivation plane. If I can comprehend more Great Paths this year, it will be of great help to me,” Li Qingshan sat in his new house and pondered silently..
