"This... is too expensive... do you have anything cheaper?"
He Pingsheng backed down.
He had not expected the very first property she recommended to be so expensive.
The reason he wanted a house in a bustling district, right beside a sect, was that sects all had formations.
He Pingsheng needed to set up formations too.
And his formations would be high-grade: third-grade or fourth-grade.
If a third-grade or fourth-grade formation suddenly appeared in an ordinary cultivators' district, it would easily attract attention.
Worse still, those old monsters in the Imperial Family might extend their divine sense inside to investigate.
Once someone else's divine sense reached inside, he would be in trouble.
Because He Pingsheng intended to set up a long-distance Teleportation Array.
What would happen if someone saw his Teleportation Array?
The Imperial Family would come knocking before he even began his operation.
After all, Teleportation Arrays were things that made people turn pale at their mere mention in any country, and ordinary people were forbidden to meddle with them.
They were simply too critical.
They could pose an enormous threat to a country's security.
Just imagine: if a group of malicious outsiders suddenly appeared inside an Imperial Capital, what would happen to it?
That was why the residence He Pingsheng chose had to be nestled among sects.
Since sects were already layered with formations, setting up a few of his own would not draw attention.

He Pingsheng took a look and asked, "How much is this one?"
Several sects within the city surrounded this house as well.
The woman said, "One hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones..."
He Pingsheng could accept
