"This was impossible. He was only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage." Ding Xiaojun found it hard to believe. Renting a Third-grade Cave Mansion required an enormous amount of wealth.

Li Yunmei stepped forward. "Steward Zhou, Fellow Daoist Liu wishes to rent the cave mansion for 14,000 Spirit Stones, for a term of five years."
