Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 264 0263: Tan Sanniang
When Tan Sanniang looked at the two young men at the door, she knew that they were not here for pleasure.

But his eyes lingered on Cheng Zongyang for a little longer, and there was a bit more curiosity in his eyes.

Finally, Tan Sanniang looked at the two of them, leaned lazily against the doorpost, yawned, crossed her arms over her chest, and asked weakly, "Are you looking for a house?"

The waiter spoke first, smiling respectfully in front of the woman: "Sanniang, you are wise! I am here to bring this gentleman. He wants to find a house in the South District or the other three districts. Well, the other three districts are the best. Sanniang, it is said that you have many connections and many ways. I wonder if there is a suitable one?"

"You are welcome." Cheng Zongyang also clasped his fists in greeting. He was surprised that the other party was also a warrior. And his cultivation should be quite high.

When Tan Sanniang heard that they had to look for a house in the other three districts, she couldn't help but become excited, and she looked at Cheng Zongyang with a bit more surprise.

"There are houses in the Northwest East District 3, but the location is limited and there are not many houses, so the rent is not low. Do you have the spirit stone?"

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "As long as the environment is a little quieter and safer, it's fine. The price is negotiable."

As he said that, he handed a spiritual stone to the waiter: "Thank you for your introduction and guidance. This is your reward. You can go back first, so as not to delay your leave time."

"Thank you, sir!" The waiter Cheng Zongyang was so excited that he was so attentive and forthright that he bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude before leaving.

Tan Sanniang didn't pay attention to the waiter, but stared at Cheng Zongyang.

Slowly, the surprise in his eyes grew.

In addition to sensing Cheng Zongyang's extremely young age, she also felt that his energy and blood were very strong. Apparently, the concentration of this energy was already at the upper third level.

Now, she became interested in Cheng Zongyang. When she thought of the other party's sigh at the door just now, there was a little more subtle smile in her eyes.

Tan Sanniang smiled lazily: "Since you have this request, I can help you find one. But you have to make sure you have spiritual stones on you, otherwise I will find a house and you will not be able to produce spiritual stones. It's okay to offend me, but it's fatal to displease the immortal cultivators."

Cheng Zongyang laughed: "Don't worry, as long as I'm satisfied, money is not a problem. Of course, it would be best if I could buy it."

Hearing this, Qin Sanniang looked at Cheng Zongyang in surprise.

Cheng Zongyang noticed the other person's look and felt a little confused. He didn't know what he had said wrong, so he couldn't help but ask, "Is there any problem?"

Tan Sanniang covered her mouth and smiled, "It seems that the young man is from outside and doesn't know the rules of Zi'an County."

Cheng Zongyang was helpless when he heard this. Although the more he said, the more mistakes he made, but he had to say it because he wanted to understand.

He bowed to Tan Sanniang with a serious look and said, "Please give me some advice, Sanniang."

Seeing Cheng Zongyang being so polite, Tan Sanniang nodded slightly and said, "Come in first. It's tiring to stand at the door like this."

Having said that, she turned around and walked inside without paying any attention to Cheng Zongyang.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang did not hesitate even though this was a brothel.

Actually, this was his first time entering a brothel, so he was a little curious.

Tan Sanniang, who was walking in front, heard the footsteps behind her without hesitation and looked at Cheng Zongyang with another high regard.

This shows that he never disliked or looked down on brothels. In addition, the words he said to himself at the beginning showed that he was not pretending.

Cheng Zongyang followed Qin Sanniang into the attic and found that it was quite bright and clean inside, not as dark and messy as he had imagined.

In the lobby, a group of women soon came down from the second floor and looked at the teenagers who were being greeted by their boss personally with surprise.

But before they could say anything, they were sent away by Tan Sanniang.

"We are all old and ugly, so we won't bother you, young man." Tan Sanniang said calmly.

"You're kidding. As long as you're human, you'll grow old. Some people age not in appearance, but in their hearts."

Cheng Zongyang didn't care, but he did notice that they were much older than what they looked like. Perhaps there were prescriptions in the world of immortal cultivation that ordinary people used to delay aging.

"Haha, young man, you are very good at comforting people. May I know what your name is?" After sitting down, Tan Sanniang asked with a smile.

"Cheng Zongyang."

Tan Sanniang smiled slightly: "So your last name is Cheng. This last name is quite rare in the South District."

Then, he changed the topic and said to Cheng Zongyang:

"The rules you want to know are not really secrets. In Zi'an County, the immortal cultivators have stipulated that ordinary people, even warriors, are not allowed to buy real estate in the three areas of the northwest and east. Even if they rent a house, only those who have a relationship with the immortal cultivators can live there.

The purpose of the rules set by the immortal cultivators is to prevent secular people from settling there and affecting the order and environment there."

At this point, Tan Sanniang looked at Cheng Zongyang and said with a faint smile: "Now do you understand why?"

Cheng Zongyang did not expect that those immortal cultivators would actually set such a rule, and said helplessly:
"To put it bluntly, people who have no direct or indirect relationship with the immortal cultivators cannot live there?"

Tan Sanniang nodded slightly: "That's right. First, it is to prevent too many ordinary people from occupying too much space, reducing the space available for cultivators to live in and affecting their cultivation.

Second, those three areas are arranged with formations. If there are too many secular people, the spiritual energy within the formation will also be affected.

In short, no matter what the reason is, for ordinary people like us, non-cultivators cannot buy houses, and people without connections cannot rent houses.

Even the descendants of the immortal cultivation family who cannot cultivate have to abide by this rule. Unless it is their own house. But if it is distributed to ordinary descendants, the immortal cultivation children will have less housing, so these three areas are like this, sending the children who do not have the qualifications to cultivate immortals to the southern area. There are very few who can stay.

Even if you want to rent a house, you can't just rent it with this kind of connection. Not only is the price high, but the environment is not that good. The annual rent there can buy a good house in the southern district. You have to check from time to time. Brother, are you sure you still want to rent a house there?"

Cheng Zongyang was speechless. He had not expected that there was such a rule.

He naturally didn't have such a tendency to abuse himself. But he still asked, "How could Sanniang have the connections to help someone rent a house over there? Could she be someone from there?"

This was the only guess he could think of. This Tan Sanniang must be related to some immortal cultivation family or gang over there, otherwise she wouldn't have the ability to find a house for someone over there.

But as soon as he said this, he realized that he spoke too quickly and asked something he shouldn't have asked.

Tan Sanniang showed a half-smile, but did not answer Cheng Zongyang. She just said with a slightly colder attitude:

"Ordinary people can only rent single rooms in the other three districts. A single room in the West District rents for 30 spiritual stones per month. The North District rents for 50, and the East District rents for 80. The difference is that the concentration of spiritual energy in the three districts is different. It will be good for ordinary people to live there.

The West District is the main area where independent cultivators live, the North District is where the immortal cultivation gangs gather, and the East District is where the immortal cultivation families live.

If it's the South District, it's not a problem to buy or rent. Which one would you choose?"

Cheng Zongyang was also shocked when he heard this. My goodness, a single room costs thirty, five or eighty spirit stones a month? Who among ordinary people can afford it?
Now, he estimated that there were basically no ordinary people there. Even the descendants of a cultivation family could not afford to live there without the family's "payment".

They treated everyone equally and prevented most secular people from living there.

Although the fee was changed to not allow ordinary people to live there, it was not directly rejected. But this rent is not much different from rejection.

Of course, except for some wealthy and powerful secular people, who don't lack these few spiritual stones.

"Then buy one in the South District."

Cheng Zongyang wanted a fixed house of his own, which could be used to set up a teleportation array. Renting a house was still not safe.

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Tan Sanniang smiled, revealing a hint of maturity.

This smile made Cheng Zongyang slightly dazed, and he truly realized that although Qin Sanniang was a little older, she looked like a young woman in her early thirties. Even without makeup, she had a delicate face and elegant temperament, the type of royal young woman!

Wow, these are all plus points.

It's a pity that he was born.

Cheng Zongyang said quickly, "Then please help me find it, Sanniang. I don't have many requirements. First, it must be safe. Second, it's best if the house has its own door and yard, and is protected by a formation."

With each new request she heard, the smile on Tan Sanniang's face became brighter.

This means that the more spirit stones are needed, the more commission she can get. She immediately smiled and said, "That's not a problem. Although there are many people and few houses in the South District, there are still top-notch houses like what you need. Brother, where do you prefer in the South District?"

Cheng Zongyang was not sure about this, so he asked again: "Please tell me in detail, Sanniang."

When Tan Sanniang heard this, a faint smile appeared in her eyes: "That's quite a lot. Among the houses in the South District, those near the city gate are cheaper, those in the middle are slightly higher, and those near the Zi'an River are the highest. Do you understand the reason, young man?"

After hearing this, Cheng Zongyang thought for a moment, and based on what he had seen and heard, he tentatively said, "It's noisy and chaotic near the city gate, and as you move towards the Zi'an River, the environment and scenery will get better, right?"

Tan Sanniang had a good impression of this clever young man, and said without any impatience:

"Young man, you are not only handsome, but also smart. That's right. But the most important point is that the houses near Zi'an River are the closest to the other three districts, and they have the highest chance of coming into contact with immortal cultivators."

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly, with a look of assurance in his eyes, and continued to listen.

Tan Sanniang also continued to explain to Cheng Zongyang the differences between these three directions.

"To the west, the formations are mainly for protection; to the north, they are mainly for isolation; to the east, they are mainly for spiritual energy, and the prices of houses in the east are also the highest. If there are spiritual stones in the family, or if there are spiritual bones and spiritual roots among the younger generations, they will basically choose to buy a house in the east."

When Cheng Zongyang heard the word "spiritual bones" again, his curiosity was aroused.

Yesterday, he heard many people talking about mortal bones, mortal roots, spiritual bones, spiritual roots, etc. He had heard a lot about mortal roots and spiritual roots, and he also knew that they were related to immortal cultivators.

But he had never heard of spirit bones. And he was embarrassed to ask at that time. Now that he heard it again from Tan Sanniang, he couldn't help but asked with a hint of apology: "I don't know what mortal bones and spirit bones are? What is the relationship with spirit roots?"

He knew that asking this would only make the other party more confused about his identity, but he had to ask.

So after he finished speaking, he added: "I came from the village, and almost no one in the village talked about the county town and the cultivation of immortals, so I know very little."

At this point, Tan Sanniang frowned: "Do you really have spirit stones to buy a house? You're not here to tease me, are you?"

Seeing that the other party's attention was on the spirit stone, Cheng Zongyang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"Don't worry. Some time ago, a cultivator passed by the village and took a fancy to a treasure in my house. He spent a lot of spirit stones to buy it. So I traveled for several days to the county town and planned to stay here."

"How many are there?" Tan Sanniang asked subconsciously.

Cheng Zongyang was speechless, but said: "The money to buy a house... should be enough."

"The house price in the West District is around 3,000, in the North District 5,000, and in the East District around 8,000. Are you sure that's enough?" Tan Sanniang doubted again.

"One?" Cheng Zongyang asked uncertainly.

"What else?" Tan Sanniang rolled her eyes. "This is the base price. It depends on whether there are any other extras."

Good, it's not Lunping. Cheng Zongyang breathed a sigh of relief. But he also felt that this place couldn't be as dark as Lunping in his previous life.

But the price is really not low. It is almost impossible for ordinary people in the South District to buy a house.

"Then it should be near the East District or North District, with more than two bedrooms."

"Okay. But my commission is 10% of the transaction price. Don't think it's expensive. What I, Tan Sanniang, can find for you is definitely not found by others, and it's the best. The most important thing is that I can handle all the formalities for you within one day and get you an identity token. Even if you are not from this county. You must know that it is basically impossible for outsiders who are not immortal cultivators to settle in this county."

Tan Sanniang said the last two sentences with a smile, which was meaningful.

The last words made Cheng Zongyang quite excited. He couldn't help but ask: "That's not a problem. Besides, can it be done as long as people from other counties come to live here?"

Tan Sanniang sneered: "The identity token means settlement, which is not something that everyone can do. Otherwise, anyone can settle in Zi'an County, and there would be no place to live.

Non-locals who live here, except for immortal cultivators, are all temporary residents and do not have identity tokens. They register once every three months and need to pay a fee each time. "

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "That means Sanniang has the means. If I have friends who want to settle here in the future, I wonder if Sanniang can help them? Of course, we'll just follow your rules."

"Hehe..." Tan Sanniang covered her mouth and smiled: "Young man is quite sensible."

Tan Sanniang did not say much about this matter. It was useless to say more about this matter. Only when it really happened, it would see if the sincerity was enough.

Besides, he did not care why Cheng Zongyang did not know about the spiritual bones. There were many people who did not know about the matters of the immortals. There was nothing strange about it. He immediately leaned back in his chair and explained casually:

"People are born with roots and bones. One is ordinary roots and spiritual roots, the other is ordinary bones and spiritual bones."

"Some people have ordinary roots and spiritual bones, some have ordinary bones and spiritual roots, some have ordinary roots and ordinary bones, and some have spiritual roots and spiritual bones. Ordinary roots and ordinary bones are the most ordinary people.

Mortal bones and spiritual roots are similar to mortal roots and spiritual roots, but the paths they take are somewhat different.

Ordinary roots refer to people who are unable to cultivate and enter the immortal path. Ordinary bones refer to people who have no talent for martial arts.

Having spiritual roots means that one has a connection with the immortal path, and can directly cultivate immortality through exercises without having to learn martial arts to enter the path;

With spiritual bones, one can practice martial arts, enter the Dao through martial arts, advance to the extraordinary level, and embark on the path of immortality. "
