"Fellow Daoist Lu, please keep the token talisman safe. The tasks of our Outer Sect main branch generally rely on this token. Losing it would be troublesome."
"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Jin. I still remember."
Lu Qing finally departed beneath the clicking tongues and shaking heads of the crowd.
His mood was fairly good. After all, it was only his first day here. On the first day, he naturally had to find a place to cultivate, but the prices for renting cave dwellings here were simply sky-high.
Lu Qing did have a small five-figure sum of spirit stones, but if he wanted decent accommodations, the price was truly outrageous. As for his master's Daoist grounds, the same applied. Never mind the notion that the bond between master and disciple surpassed all else—this was ultimately a sect. Within the Daoist grounds, a disciple could cultivate in one place, or naturally in two, so long as they had spirit coins and spirit stones in hand.
Thus, although Senior Brother Wang had meant well, he had subconsciously overlooked the fact that Lu Qing was a genuine pauper here.
Converted over, he only had a little more than a thousand spirit coins on him in total.
Even the outermost areas started at a hundred spirit coins a month.
"Room and board included. I can't expect too much. At least I have a place to cultivate."
Lu Qing had come to understand that every patch of ground here required spirit coins. He walked downstairs, thinking to himself.
The first day was not yet over.
Lu Qing had also discovered the misconception he had held before. It was true that Golden Core cultivators were more common here than in the Profound Heaven Domain, but it had not reached the point where Golden Core cultivators walked everywhere.
