The Rise of the Cultivation Family

Chapter 68 Settling the Beggar
The beggar had no choice but to take the noble young master back with him.

Yun Yongzhu followed Beggar all the way out of the street, and kept walking, from bustling to deserted.

This is a remote place with a smelly ditch surrounding it.

Yun Yongzhu frowned and followed Beggar through the smelly ditch, and soon saw a dilapidated and abandoned courtyard.

By this time, Yun Yongzhu had already believed Beggar's words.

"Yonghe City is so big, isn't there a good place to stay?"

Beggar smiled bitterly and said, "This is the only place left. The other places have been occupied by Brother Qiang and the others."

Brother Qiang is also a beggar. He led more than fifty beggars to form a gang.

His gang occupied all the mortal areas of the city, preventing beggars from begging.

“Once, Brother Qiang found me begging for food in his territory, and he almost beat me to death.

Then I started stealing things to support my younger brothers and sisters. "

Now that he believed Beggar's words, Yun Yongzhu began to inquire about their situation in detail.

From Beggar's intermittent narration, Yun Yongzhu roughly understood Beggar's story.

The beggar has been living in Yonghe City since he can remember. He doesn't know how old he is, and he doesn't know if his parents or relatives are alive or not.

He was raised by an old beggar since he was a child. The old beggar raised many children. He was the boy adopted by the old beggar relatively early.

Half a year ago, the old beggar didn’t know whether he was tired or sick, but he died anyway.

After that, it was all dependent on beggars and a few other older children to feed dozens of mouths.

Beggar took Yun Yongzhu into the yard where they lived, but the yard didn't look as shabby as outside.

The inside is very clean, and the entire yard is full of vegetables, some grown up and some just sprouted.

"These are grown by the eldest and second sisters."

By this time, the two beggars had already been spotted in the yard, and a group of little furry heads came rushing over, cheering.

"Brother, who is he?"

"Brother, have you brought back anything to eat?"

"Big brother..."

A group of people were chattering and asking questions, and they all looked at Yun Yongzhu from a distance next to Beggar.

Yun Yongzhu looked at them with mixed feelings in his heart.

All of these children have sallow complexions and thin muscles, which may be caused by long-term malnutrition.

As a former orphan, he has also experienced the feeling of hunger, but he has never worried about survival.

He has lived in an orphanage since he was a child. The orphanage is very large, with subsidies from the state and donations from many caring people in the society.

Yun Yongzhu thought that he must help them.

This matter was so simple for him, it was not an exaggeration to say it was a piece of cake.

"Beggars, I'll buy you a house and send you to study or learn a craft, so you won't steal things in the future."

This is when he met Yun Yongzhu. Otherwise, we don’t know what would happen to Beggar. If it’s serious, he might die. After all, not every monk has such a good temper.

The beggar was greatly surprised.

"Sir, is what you just said true?! Do you want to help us?"

Yun Yongzhu smiled and nodded.

Although the other children were young, they were very sensible and understood that this strange and good-looking older brother wanted to buy them a place to live.

A little girl about three or four years old took the beggar's hand and asked confusedly: "Brother, does this big brother want to buy us a yard?"

The beggar could not hide his excitement.

"Yes, the young master just nodded!"

Striking while the iron is hot, Yun Yongzhu said: "I don't have any cash in my hand. Now I'm going to exchange it for cash. After I exchange it, I'll buy a house."

So Yun Yongzhu left this simple and shabby yard and went to exchange money.

Yun Yongzhu had never exchanged silver before, so he returned to Wanbao Pavilion to inquire.

"Senior Brother Yun, why are you back again?"

"I want to exchange silver, can I exchange it here?"

"Of course, you can, as long as you have it in Wanbao Pavilion, you can redeem it!"

So Yun Yongzhu exchanged one spirit stone for 120 gold coins.

It is easy to exchange spiritual stones for gold coins, but it is very difficult to exchange gold coins for spiritual stones. Very few monks will use spiritual stones to exchange for mortal currency.

According to Yun Yongzhu's simple understanding, there are four types of currencies used by mortals in this world.

They are gold coins, silver coins, copper coins and banknotes.

Gold, silver, and copper are all metals. Although they are not as good as refined iron after tempering, they can also be used as materials for refining magic weapons.

One gold coin can be exchanged for one hundred silver coins and ten thousand copper coins.

Banknotes are currencies that are issued compulsorily by secular countries and are also called banknotes.

However, the currency generally used by mortals is copper coins, and silver notes are only used when large transactions are involved.

The purchasing power of copper coins is very high. At least in Yunwu Town, one copper coin can buy two large steamed buns or one meat bun.

One of Yun Yongzhu's spiritual stones was equivalent to 120 million copper coins. He thought this should be enough to buy a large house in Yongzhou City.

In just one stick of incense, he returned to Beggar's residence with the 120 gold coins he had exchanged.In this short period of time, the beggar lived like a year. He was worried that Yun Yongzhu would leave like this.After finally meeting a kind-hearted nobleman, he gave them hope, and he didn't want his hope to be shattered.

The beggar was waiting at the door of the courtyard. When he saw Yun Yongzhu coming back, he immediately felt relieved.

"Sir, you are back, have you got any money in exchange?"

The beggar was full of hope. Next to him were two girls about the same age as him.

"The money has been exchanged. Call everyone here. I'll go buy some clothes for you all and tidy up!"

Yun Yongzhu really couldn't stand the dirty rags on these children.

"Thank you, sir!"

The two girls saluted and said.

"They are my eldest sister and second sister. They used to help people wash clothes outside. When I met a noble person like the young master at home, I asked my brothers to call them back."

The beggar introduced two sisters to the side. The children in this courtyard all had no surnames. One of them was called Danniu and the other was called Erniu.

"My surname is Yun, you can just call me Brother Yun. Don't delay, go and call all the children out."

The three of them then went into the yard to call all the children out. As a result, every one of them brought pots, pans, luggage and bedding, including the beggars, the big girl and the second girl.

Yun Yongzhu looked at the pile of broken bowls and dishes in Beggar's hand, and three thick black lines appeared on his head.

"What are you doing!?"

Everyone looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

"I'm taking you to a better life and a new life, not asking you to flee! Put down your things and throw them away!"

"But aren't we moving? It would be a pity to throw them all away."

"You won't need these anymore."

"I'll buy you all new ones, just put them down."

After Yun Yongzhu's persuasion, the children finally reluctantly put down all the rags in their hands.

Yun Yongzhu took them to the lively street where they met the beggar.

Among these children, except for Beggar, Da Niu and Er Niu, the others were very timid and followed closely around the three of them.

Yun Yongzhu ignored the concerned looks of the people around him and led a group of ragged children into a large clothing store.

As soon as I entered, I was chased away by the shop assistants.

"Go, go, go and beg for food somewhere else!"

Yun Yongzhu protected these children: "I brought them here, I want to buy them clothes!"

The shopkeeper saw him at this time, looked at him carefully for a while, and quickly drank the waiter away.

He asked cautiously: "Are you an immortal master?"

Yun Yongzhu looked at the storage bag on his waist and nodded.

In the city of cultivating immortals, immortals and mortals live together, so some well-informed mortals can naturally identify the monks.

Seeing Yun Yongzhu nod, the shopkeeper's attitude became even more humble.

"Master Immortal, please take a seat.

Xiaoguang, why are you still standing there? Go make tea! "

Yun Yongzhu sat down and waved his hand.

"Don't worry about me. Is there a bathing place in your backyard? Wash all these children and put them all into new clothes."

"Yes, yes, I will take them to wash right away. Master Immortal, please wait a moment."

The shopkeeper and the boys took a dozen children to the backyard. Yun Yongzhu was sitting outside. In just half an hour, they were all dressed up.

Sure enough, people depend on their clothes. After they put on new clothes, although they still looked skinny, they looked much more pleasing to the eye.

"how much is the total?"

Yun Yongzhu took out a gold coin and gave it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper refused and did not dare to accept it.

Yun Yongzhu glanced away, and the shopkeeper gingerly handed over the gold coin and rummaged through the cabinets to find 92 silver coins and [-] copper coins for Yun Yongzhu.

After collecting the coins, Yun Yongzhu asked about buying a house.

"Where are the houses for sale in Yonghe City?"

"You can go to Yahang or the City Lord's Mansion, but in the end you have to leave a deed at the City Lord's Mansion and apply for the land deed at the City Lord's Mansion."

Yun Yongzhu looked at the children in this room, thought for a while, and said, "Shopkeeper, I will leave these children with you first, and I will pick them up after I buy the house, okay?"

"Ok, Ok."

The shopkeeper nodded like a pounding garlic.

"Beggar, you come with me, Danniu and Erniu, you two take care of them here, we will be back soon."

Yun Yongzhu asked Beggar to take him directly to the city lord's mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion naturally has an agency that specializes in dealing with mortal affairs. Yun Yongzhu just showed his identity as an immortal cultivator and quickly took care of the house.

He didn't go to see the house, and directly chose a mansion in the city lord's palace with the largest area in the mortal area.

Half an hour later, Yun Yongzhu took everyone into the newly purchased house.
