Choosing a Cultivation Cave Abode

"Collect one hundred Green Grasses, ten Spirit Stone (no limit)."

"Collect materials from third- and fourth-tier Demon Beast; Spirit Stone will be used as needed (no limit)."

"The price for killing escaped Devil Cultivator depends on their strength. (Below are hundreds of portraits)"

There are nearly a thousand missions, and most of them involve collecting materials.

Based on what Shen Ge and his group knew about prices, the purchase price here was 10% lower than in other places. Although that was reasonable, it was still extremely unprofitable for Shen Ge and his group.

However, it's not feasible to take over a shop and sell it yourself. Not to mention buying a shop, even renting one doesn't offer enough Spirit Stone, and even setting up a stall might be unaffordable.

Shen Ge then realized that the cost of Spirit Stone was too high, and all his previous plans might not be able to be realized for the time being.

"The cost of Spirit Stone is too high. Why don't we just leave the city and find a place to become bandits?" Shen Ge said, rubbing his head with a headache. "Anyway, all we need is a place to cultivate in peace. As for resources, it just means our cultivation will be a little slower."

"Set up your own power base?" Su Liuyue chuckled and said, "Aren't you afraid those people will come looking for trouble? We haven't offended anyone yet, but if you establish another power base within their ranks, then someone might cause trouble."

"There's no other way. We simply can't afford the Spirit Stone expenses here, and besides, the houses here aren't very useful. They don't even have any Spirit Vein. We might as well go outside and find another one."

After strolling around the cultivation street for a while, Shen Ge and his companion bought some things and then went back.

After discussing it with their master, they decided to leave the city first. Although the town here was relatively well-developed, it wouldn't be of much use to them.

After waking up Wang Yan and the others who were in seclusion, Shen Ge and his group left the city. They spent three months settling down in a rather desolate but scenic place, which, according to the map, was about 300,000 li away from Thousand Hills Town.

The area boasts Qingshan and clear waters, along with a peach orchard, making it quite scenic. More importantly, it features two small Spirit Vein that can fully support their cultivation. With the addition of several Spirit Gathering Formation, there might even be a surplus of Spiritual Qi.

However, this place is not unclaimed land. After all, it has two Spirit Vein, so it can barely be considered a small blessed land. The two Rogue Cultivator occupying this place appear to be master and disciple, one in the Nascent Soul Early Stage and the other in the Golden Core Peak.

As for why Shen Ge and his group were stealing territory, it was because those two guys were wanted Devil Cultivator in Thousand Hills Town. Apparently, they were wanted for slaughtering three small mortal villages, so Shen Ge and his group didn't hesitate and killed them directly.

Not only did it solve the problem of where to cultivate, it also allowed them to earn Spirit Stone.

Yes, it can earn Spirit Stone. Shen Ge is currently on his way to Thousand Hills Town.

As for the newly acquired camp, Su Liuyue and the others can build it themselves.

There's really not much to build, just carving out a few cave abode and drawing up some formations; that's a small matter that won't stump them.

Since the temporary token from last time hadn't expired yet, Shen Ge didn't have to spend Spirit Stone to enter the city this time, which saved him some money.

Back when he was in the Luo Heaven Sea, his wealth was arguably the greatest among his peers, so he never had to worry about Spirit Stone. But after coming to this place, Shen Ge, who was used to spending lavishly, had to become more frugal.

Upon arriving at the exchange counter, Shen Ge handed over the heads of the two Devil Cultivator. The middle-aged man in the Late Golden Core Stage stage opposite him glanced at them without even looking up, then casually said, "Li Hei and Li Yuan, one in the Nascent Soul Early Stage and the other in the Golden Core Peak stage, totaling five thousand five hundred Spirit Stone. Thank you, fellow Daoist, for eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path."

After speaking, he waved his hand and tossed out Spirit Stone Spirit Stone, which clattered together with a crisp sound.

However, this seemingly condescending gesture annoyed Shen Ge, but he could only suppress his displeasure and put the item away.

At this moment, Shen Ge suddenly felt like a working-class person from his past life. He worked hard to create profits for the boss, but when it came time to get paid, the meager wages, which felt like charity, made him want to hang the boss up and beat him up.

However, this is just a fantasy. In his previous life, the working class became numb from repeated exploitation.

As he turned around, Shen Ge suddenly felt some envious glances from all around him. He frowned slightly, then left without making a sound.

Although there might be lurking robbers among them, Shen Ge wasn't too afraid. After all, with his current cultivation level and the techniques he had mastered, even if he couldn't defeat Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, it wouldn't be so easy for Peak Nascent Soul cultivator to kill him.

On the street, Shen Ge was walking towards the city outskirts when suddenly a commotion broke out ahead, followed by some murmurs of discussion.

"It's Fairy Yuxin! She's actually back! She's actually back from the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

"Oh my god, don't stop me! Let me go forward and pay my respects so I can share in your good fortune!"

"Damn it, you bastard in front, get out of my way! I want to follow Fairy Yuxin, I want to be her follower!"

A cacophony of excited voices erupted, leaving Shen Ge somewhat bewildered. He couldn't understand why these people had suddenly become so fanatical, just like the fans in his past life.

So what if she's from the Heavenly Sword Sect? She's not a god, is it really necessary?

Although Shen Ge didn't understand, that didn't stop him from retreating; it was best to avoid getting involved in such matters.

After retreating behind the crowd, Shen Ge finally looked ahead with a hint of curiosity. However, he didn't use his divine sense to investigate. Although he could see everything clearly with his divine sense at such close range, the person who could cause such a commotion was probably no ordinary person. So Shen Ge was really hesitant to use his divine sense to investigate. Such rudeness might anger the other party and he might not even know how he died.

As the crowd in front of him slowly parted, the surrounding noise gradually subsided, allowing Shen Ge to hear a slow, unhurried cry from some unknown Demon Beast.

Before long, the crying grew closer, and a woman in red rode slowly towards them on a horse engulfed in flames. Each time the horse's hooves landed, they left a fiery mark on the ground, resembling a plum blossom.

Is this the Fairy Yuxin? She is quite pretty, but beauty alone shouldn't be enough to cause such a commotion, right?

However, her cultivation level is quite strong. Anyway, Shen Ge couldn't tell what realm the girl was at, but he could tell the realm of the horse under her. It was at the peak of the fourth rank, and it was probably about to advance to the fifth rank.

It's no exaggeration to say that Shen Ge couldn't even beat the horse his opponent was riding.

Slightly embarrassed, Shen Ge stopped paying attention; after all, no matter how strong the other party was, it had nothing to do with him.
