Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

"Even if this safe house is rented, it's probably not cheap, right?"

"Of course it's not cheap. It costs 15 kilograms of God Wing Blood Ore a night."

"It's really expensive. You just said that you have a safe house in this underground mine?"

"Yes, I came here a lot earlier than you. I dig about 150 kilograms of God Wing Blood Ore every day. In addition to the 100 kilograms of God Wing Blood Ore that I hand in every day, I can still have a net 50 kilograms of God Wing Blood Ore. After accumulating 1,000 kilograms of God Wing Blood Ore, I paid a down payment and bought a safe house."

Zhang Xuan looked at Bu Yueling with a higher opinion.

I didn't expect that the other party would be reduced to a mining slave, but still have such a business mind.

I accumulated the first pot of gold in such a short time.

"Miss Bu has a long-term vision."

"Alas..." Bu Yueling sighed, "The Divine Wing Blood Mine is not so easy to dig. It's because I just came in, and there are not many five elements of evil spirits in the sea of ​​qi, so I can go deep into the mine and purchase more Divine Wing Blood Mine. I quickly bought myself a safe house. Now I have to pay my mortgage every day."

"How much is the mortgage?"

"50 catties of Divine Wing Blood Mine."

Zhang Xuan was shocked: "How much?"

"50 catties."

"How long will it take to pay it back?"

"100 years."

"Pay back 50 catties of Divine Wing Blood Mine every day for 100 years?"

"Yes."

"It's only 15 catties of Divine Wing Blood Mine per day when renting a safe house, and buying a safe house is only 15 catties of Divine Wing Blood Mine per day. "I have to pay 50 jin of divine wing blood ore for the house every day. This account is not cost-effective no matter how you calculate it!"

"You can't say that. As long as you pay the mortgage for 100 years, this safe house will belong to me after 100 years."

"100 years... Can the cultivators here live for 100 years?"

"If you go into the mine every day to dig, the life span of a Jindan cultivator is 150 years old."

"Then you still..."

"When I pay off the mortgage, I can leave it to my descendants, so that the next generation will suffer less."

"Are you really planning to settle down here for a long time?"

Zhang Xuan thought that he would only stay here for ten years, then escape, reunite with those old monsters, and go to the Chaoxi Sea to complete his original plan.

"Once you are demoted to slavery, you will never be able to escape from here for the rest of your life. A half-step fifth-level sealing formation is set up here, and even a Yuanying cultivator cannot escape."

"Ah..." Zhang Xuan was shocked after hearing this.

He thought that at most a fourth-level formation would be set up here.

Unexpectedly, a half-step fifth-level formation was set up.

It is more strict than the Yizi prison.

Why are you running away?

Bu Yueling looked at Zhang Xuan with disappointment and said, "In fact, as long as you manage it well, you can practice well in the underground mine. As far as I know, there are eight great families in this underground mine. They even established family power in the underground mine and lasted for a thousand years."

"Last for a thousand years?" Zhang Xuan was shocked, "Aren't these families slaves?"

"Yes, they are slaves."

"Don't you need to mine?"

"No, you don't need to mine."

"How is that possible? As long as you are a miner, don't you have to complete the task of 100 kilograms of God Wing Blood Mine?"

"Yes, but they can Hire people to help them mine."

"What for?"

"A lot, elixirs, spiritual medicines, spiritual stones and even monster meat, they can take out."

"This is an underground mine, where did they get so many rare things?"

"The safe houses built by these noble families can no longer be considered "houses", it is more appropriate to call them manors, covering an area of ​​dozens of acres. After thousands of years of operation, there is no evil spirit in them, and the concentration of spiritual energy is comparable to that of the third-level spiritual veins, you can grow spiritual medicines and raise monsters in them."

"No wonder, no wonder..." Zhang Xuan was extremely envious.

"In addition to selling these spiritual materials, the eight great families also provide loan services at high interest rates. For example, if you don't purchase enough blood mines on the day and can't afford to live in a safe house, the eight great families can provide high-interest loans."

"What if you can't pay it back?"

"If you can't pay it back, the interest will be compounded."

"The strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak. In the end, the borrower will die in the mine. Wouldn't the loans from the eight great families be wasted?"

"No, they will take the borrower's body, which is the best food for feeding monsters."

"Eat people to feed monsters?"

"The underground mines are poor in resources. No one will let go of any useful resources. You can't use the ethics and morals of the ground to require the underground mines. The underground mines have their own survival rules."

"I understand, I understand..." Zhang Xuan nodded.

"Okay, I've said so much, let's go back quickly. The five elements of evil spirits outside are too strong. We must return to the safe house to recover."

"Okay."

The two of them sped away.

Sure enough, after a while, they came to a brightly lit area.

Zhang Xuan saw houses piled up irregularly.

On the way, he also saw alchemy shops, pharmacies, restaurants, safe houses, inns, etc., which were very lively.

If it weren't for the strong five-element evil spirits around, Zhang Xuan would have thought he had come to a place where a small force was entrenched outside.

"Okay, this is my safe house, come in."

Zhang Xuan walked in.

The area of ​​the house is not large, only about 10 square meters.

However, the layout inside is indeed very warm.

As soon as he entered the house, the five-element evil spirits outside were indeed banned.

The house was full of spiritual energy.

"No wonder the safe house is so expensive. For underground miners, this safe house is simply a world of difference." Zhang Xuan thought.

At this time, he also had a more doubtful idea.

Why did I follow Bu Yueling to her house for no apparent reason?

I clearly have the Divine Wing Magic to protect me, so I don't need this safe house at all.

Why should I share a room with Bu Yueling?

However, Bu Yueling is a warm-hearted person.

Zhang Xuan's eyes unconsciously scanned the entire room.

There were three second-level spiritual herbs planted in the corner, a bed, and a futon.

"The house is simple, I'm sorry to make you laugh, fellow Daoist Zhang." Bu Yueling said embarrassedly.

"Why don't you plant a few third-level spiritual herbs?"

"Third-level spiritual herbs... I can only plant second-level spiritual herbs now."

"Hmm..."

Zhang Xuan understood that not everyone could have a meditation space to cultivate spiritual seedlings and nine-day Xiran to cultivate high-level spiritual soil like him.

"After the second-level spiritual medicine matures, it will also be an income."

"It will take decades for the second-level spiritual medicine to mature. I just passed by a spiritual medicine shop and inquired about the price of the second-level spiritual medicine. It seems that not many divine wing blood mines can be sold."

"My father said that wealth is earned one by one, and it is easy to make a living by collecting small things."

"Your father..."

"You must think my father is a greedy person."

"No..." Zhang Xuan hurriedly denied.

However, Bu Yueling's father did embezzle 5 billion medium-grade spiritual stones.

This is difficult to brush off.

"When my father took over the mining and processing center, it was in huge debt. Now the mining and processing center is the small treasury of the entire War God Temple. Do you know why?"

"I earned it bit by bit?"

"Yes, the seeds of the rare spiritual medicines in the mining and processing center were rotting in it, and no one cared. My father felt sorry for it, so he asked someone to plant the seeds of these rare high-level spiritual medicines. The harvest from this alone reached hundreds of millions of medium-grade spiritual stones. In addition, the War God Temple is extravagant. Only the most exquisite part of the fourth-level monster meat is eaten, and the rest is thrown away. My father collected all the discarded monster meat."
