Chapter 974: The Miserable Life in the God Realm. He wandered around the entire market, but still didn't know which shop could buy items from the lower realm.
However, Xiao Han did see the cave rental office.
He immediately went inside to inquire about the price of renting a cave dwelling.
The steward inside was a female cultivator dressed in simple clothes. When she saw Xiao Han come in, she immediately greeted her warmly.
"Fellow Daoist, are you here to rent a cave dwelling?"
Xiao Han nodded, then asked, "Could you explain how to rent it?"
The female cultivator smiled and said, "We only have two types of cave dwellings here. The rent for a more spacious cave dwelling is one hundred divine stones per year, and the rent for a less spacious one is seventy divine stones per year."
Xiao Han didn't know if the divine stones here would be hard to earn, so he didn't dare to say that the price was very cheap.
Instead, she asked, "Is the minimum rental period a year?"
The female cultivator nodded, "Yes, the minimum lease term is one year."
Xiao Han felt that the market was located in this place, so they must know that the newly ascended cultivators were penniless.
So she wasn't embarrassed at all and asked directly, "I'm a cultivator who just ascended to heaven. Which shops here buy things from the lower realms?"
The female cultivator pointed to the door opposite hers, "They buy items from the lower realm over there."
Xiao Han then said, "I'll go over there and exchange some divine stones, then come back to rent a cave dwelling."
She didn't need to look around; she knew that the cave dwellings here were definitely the cheapest.
After all, if the market town is this shabby, this place must be a slum.
Xiao Han went to the opposite side, where there was a general store.
An old cultivator who looked like a hermit was sorting through the goods.
Seeing Xiao Han enter, he greeted her with a smile, "What would you like, guest?"
Xiao Han said directly, "I have something I want to sell to you. See if you'll take it or not."
After saying that, he took out more than ten grains of black gold spirit rice and placed them on the counter.
The old monk didn't even examine it closely before rejecting it, saying, "This is worthless."
Xiao Han smiled and said, "Don't rush to conclusions. This is a newly cultivated spirit rice seed. Not only does it taste good, but it also has a good spirit-enhancing effect. It was cultivated in the lower realm, so it may seem ordinary now, but it can be used as a seed to be planted in the divine realm."
Even disregarding its role as an ingredient in the Spirit Enhancement Pill, Spirit Rice, when ground into powder and used to make rice cakes or other pastries, is still quite delicious.
She just didn't know how strong the appetites of the cultivators in the divine realm were.
The old monk was somewhat intrigued by her words, so he picked up a pill and examined it closely.
He then asked, "What is the yield per acre of this spirit valley?"
Xiao Han thought to herself, "I only know how many grains per mu, but I really don't know how many jin per mu."
However, she wouldn't tell everything, and bluntly said, "I don't know how many kilograms per mu, because when we used to buy them, we calculated the price based on how many spirit stones per grain. I've never planted them myself."
The old cultivator looked at the spirit rice seeds in his hand, which were clearly twice the size of the other spirit rice seeds, and decided to buy some. He would plant them for a trial season, let them absorb divine power, and then sell them as seeds at a high price.
He then asked, "How much do you have left? If you have too little, there's no point in me taking it in."
Xiao Han certainly wouldn't take out all the Black Gold Spirit Rice she had.
She only took out about two hundred grains of millet, muttering to herself, "This is a good thing that is comparable to elixir, but without the poison, and can satisfy your appetite. I didn't buy too many at the time, just these."
She thought that these grains, which were worth more than a million immortal stones in the immortal realm, should sell for at least a few dozen divine stones here.
To everyone's surprise, the old cultivator said, "Ten divine stones, that's the only price I can offer."
Even though Xiao Han was mentally prepared that things from the Immortal Realm would be worthless in the God Realm, the price was still hard for her to accept.
She shook her head and said, "This is the newest spirit grain sold by the grain in the Immortal Realm. This price is too low."
After saying that, he made a move to take back the spirit grain.
The old cultivator gritted his teeth, "I'll give you three more divine stones at most. I don't know how much this stuff will produce, or how to cultivate it. We'll have to figure it out. Maybe this is going to be a losing proposition."
Xiao Han couldn't possibly tell her the planting method; she was still hoping to grow it herself and make money in the future.
He could only say, "Fifteen immortal stones, that's the price. I won't sell it for less. I'll keep it for when I have my own spiritual fields to cultivate myself."
The old monk considered it for a moment and finally agreed.
Fifteen divine stones are far from enough to rent a cave for a year.
Xiao Han had no choice but to take out another Xuanbing Essence. "What price are you offering for this one?"
This was one of the treasures that Shui Wuhen had traded for the war supplies she was supposed to hand over, which she obtained by exchanging the jade slip used to draw talismans in the void.
The old cultivator took it and examined it, saying in a critical tone, "The spiritual energy in the Immortal Realm is of too low quality. The treasures it nurtures are basically useless in the God Realm."
He examined it carefully and finally said, "How about this, I'll take the fifty divine stones."
Xiao Han protested, "This contains a trace of the power of the Taiyin Origin. Fifty is too little. It should be increased to seventy divine stones."
The old cultivator shook his head. "I can't add more. It's just that I have some connections to sell them elsewhere, so I can still buy a little of these low-level items. If you try to sell them elsewhere, the price will only be lower."
Xiao Han continued to haggle, and after a long back-and-forth, they finally settled on a price of sixty divine stones.
Having earned enough to rent the cave dwelling for a year, she had no intention of selling any of the items in her storage bracelet.
She wouldn't be worth much if she sold it, but if she ever had the chance to return to the Immortal Realm, even if she had to give it away, it would be worth it.
With seventy-five divine stones, she rented the cheapest cave dwelling for the time being, and would slowly look for other ways to make money later.
Upon returning to the cave rental office, the rental procedures were quickly completed.
The female cultivator handed her a restriction token with the number 1093 written on it. "Go to the floating island behind, find the cave entrance with the number 1093 engraved on it, that's your cave."
Xiao Han took the restriction token, which was equivalent to the key to the gate, left the market, and flew towards the small island floating in the sea of clouds behind it.
This market feels like a platform extending from the South Heavenly Gate, which then became a small market where independent cultivators gathered.
When they arrived at this small island, which still looked somewhat celestial from afar, and saw the countless honeycomb-like "cave dwellings" on it, Xiao Han felt sorry for the immortal venerables who had ascended to this place.
This is a row of caves dug directly on a hill, with array formations set up; these were the cave dwellings where these former big shots lived.
She was alright. She was just an ordinary mortal who struggled her way up and then got lucky a bit, which allowed her to ascend to the realm of gods.
But other ascended cultivators, who had been immortals for countless years, ended up living in these "real" cave dwellings dug into the mountains after their ascension.
Xiao Han sighed for a moment, then found the cave with the number 1093 engraved on it. He used the restriction token to open the stone door of the cave and went inside.
