"Oh?"
Lin Changheng stirred inwardly. This was the benefit of knowing someone: they would offer a well-intentioned warning.
Otherwise, they could simply rent out the spiritual land, collect the spirit stones, and do their job. Whatever happened to you, good or bad, dangerous or not, had nothing to do with them...
"I see. Thank you for the warning, Fellow Daoist Shangguan."
Lin Changheng naturally offered his thanks.
"Think nothing of it."
Steward Shangguan shook his head. "There are still two other plots of spiritual land that meet your requirements. You can hear about them first, Fellow Daoist. There's no hurry to decide."
Lin Changheng had to admit that Steward Shangguan's way of doing business and handling people put him very much at ease.
Clearly, he was someone whose long sleeves made for an elegant dance, polished and perceptive in all his dealings.
"Please, go ahead."
Steward Shangguan soon explained the circumstances of the two cultivation abodes.
Stroking his beard, he laid out their advantages and disadvantages objectively and clearly, speaking at an even pace with well-ordered points.
"The first is on Emerald Screen Mountain, a thousand li northwest of the immortal city."
"The mountain has an excellent spirit vein, already upper-grade second-tier. Its spiritual energy is rich and abundant, enough to support a Foundation Establishment late stage cultivator's cultivation, or even an attempt to break through to Core Formation."
"There are seven peaks in all, available for rent. One is currently vacant and awaiting an owner."
"That peak has a fairly spacious natural cave abode, complete with a Warm Jade Spring that can nourish the meridians. Its previous owner was a rogue cultivator pill master, so there is also a well-equipped pill-refining chamber and cultivated spiritual fields left behind. Those could save you considerable effort in setting things up."
