"Heiyun City, I, Lin Mu, am back again."

Looking at the increasingly towering Black Cloud City in front of him, Lin Mu couldn't help but sigh.

I remember that the first time I came to Black Cloud City was seventy years ago. It was to hunt down Liu Dahai, and the old city lord Jin Wei even helped him a little.

Now more than seventy years have passed, and Black Cloud City has long since changed. The king's flag has been changed at the top of the city. Not to mention the old city lord, even his son Jin Li has no idea where he died.

"From today on, I am Fu Xiu, Qing Muzi."

Lin Mu wiped it on his face, and an ordinary middle-aged man's face slowly emerged.

The cultivation aura was also suppressed by him to the foundation level.

"I've met senior." When the city gate guard saw Lin Mu, he immediately became energetic and shouted honorifics.

"But asking for spiritual stones to enter the city?" Lin Mu remembered that when he entered Blackstone City for the first time, the guards asked for three low-grade spiritual stones.

The city gate guard on the sixth floor of Qi Training waved his hands repeatedly with a flattering expression: "Senior, we are doing a foundation construction overhaul. You can just enter the city directly without paying any spiritual stones."

"Hahaha!" Lin Mu stroked his goatee, smiled and strode into the city.

…

After decades of development, Blackstone City is very different from the past.

Various shops are lined up in rows, and pedestrians are everywhere. The streets are lined with vendors setting up stalls. There are many more ninth-level Qi-training monks than before. Occasionally, one or two Foundation-building monks who hide their auras can be seen.

'Under the wave of spiritual energy, more and more high-level monks began to appear.'

Just as Lin Mu was happily walking around Black Rock City, a 16 or 17-year-old casual cultivator in Tsing Yi who was simply dressed and only had the third level of Qi training suddenly stopped Lin Mu.

"Sir, do you need a guide? Shi Yao is a native of Black Cloud City. He can run errands and collect information for you. He only needs one spiritual crystal a day." The casual cultivator asked bravely.

Lin Mu took a closer look and found that the person blocking him was actually a female cultivator. She was young and had a childish face. She could not be said to be very pretty. At most, she could only be considered pretty and her figure was average.

However, those big, watery eyes were piercing and sparkling, giving Lin Mu Pingbai a sense of familiarity, as if he was looking at an old friend.

"A spiritual crystal?" Lin Mu was stunned.

This was the first time Lin Mu heard of the concept of spiritual crystals.

Shi Yao thought it was because the adult in front of him thought it was too expensive, so he quickly said: "No... no, half a spirit crystal a day is enough."

After releasing his foundation-building consciousness and observing the money and goods transactions of the vendors around him, Lin Mu understood what the spiritual crystal meant after a moment.

'Emotional spiritual crystals are also currency. One low-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for one hundred spiritual crystals...'

It turns out that with the surge of spiritual energy and the counterattack of spiritual energy, the number of casual cultivators has greatly increased, and spiritual stones have been continuously subdivided. From the original low-grade spiritual stones, smaller units of measurement, spiritual crystals, have appeared.

'Cultivation as an immortal is not easy. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth increases, and it seems that miscellaneous spiritual roots also have the opportunity to practice, but in fact it is more difficult.'

Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind.

Lin Mu finally remembered why the person in front of him looked familiar.

"Your name is Shi Yao... Then what did your parents call you?"

Shi Yao didn't know why the foundation-building overhaul in front of him asked for his father's name. He said honestly: "My father's name is Shi Xi. He was an outer disciple of Baiyun Sect. He died of illness ten years ago..."

Sure enough, he is the descendant of Xiao Shitou!

Seventy years have passed, and Xiao Shitou has also passed away. There is one less old friend of the Baiyun Sect that he knew.

Lin Mu was sighing, but the expression on his face did not change at all, as if he was really just asking casually.

He threw out a low-grade spiritual stone casually: "You girl is quite honest. In that case, help me find a place to stay first."

Xiao Shiyao was so happy that she almost jumped up. She quickly took the spirit stone and put it in her arms like a treasure.

"Okay." Xiao Shiyao's face flushed with excitement: "May I ask, sir, whether you are staying for a short time or a long time, and do you have any requirements for accommodation?"

“It doesn’t matter if you stay for a short time, or if you stay for a long time.”

Shi Yao said: "If you are staying for a short time, I will find an inn for you. If you are staying for a long time, I suggest that you rent a small courtyard with a spirit gathering array. It is not only cost-effective, but also cleaner and convenient for practice."

"

This little girl is young, but she has a delicate mind.

Lin Mu nodded slightly: "For a long-term stay, it is best to find a street shop with a small courtyard. I want to sell talismans."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shiyao became even more excited.

This gentleman is actually a foundation-building talisman cultivator!

Cats have their own ways, mice have their own ways. If she can successfully introduce a store to this adult, then she can also get a huge commission!

"May I ask if you have any requirements for the location?"

Lin Mu thought for a moment and said: "The location can be more remote. I like peace and quiet."

"I understand, little one!"

…

Shi Yao moved very quickly, and within a moment, he brought good news to Lin Mu who was sitting in the teahouse drinking tea.

"Sir, I found it. It's at Shop No. 3 on Bingshen Lane. The original owner is from the Fu Xiu family, and it's called Xiao Fu Tang. However, the original owner doesn't rent it, but only sells it. Are you interested?" Shi Yao asked.

"The efficiency is quite fast, please tell me how it is."

Shi Yao said: "Small Futang was originally owned by the Zhao family of the Ji-building family. However, the Zhao family failed in the battle for the spiritual mine the year before last and suffered heavy losses. They had to sell off the ancestral property. Unfortunately, the asking price was quite high and the location was not good, so it has never been found.

A good buyer, but it meets the requirements of adults’ purity.”

Lin Mu put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Let's go and have a look."

Lin Mu is short of everything now, but there is no shortage of spiritual stones. There are millions of low-grade spiritual stones in the storage bag, and there is no way to spend them all.

…

While walking on the road, Lin Mu also asked Shi Yao about the situation in Black Cloud City in recent decades.

I have to say that the little girl is very professional. Although her cultivation level is not high, she is very knowledgeable about all kinds of gossip.

From her mouth, Lin Mu learned that after the old city lord Jin Wei, Heiyun City had had three city lords, each with higher cultivation levels. Today, Heiyun City is fully controlled by the Fortune Pavilion.

The city lord Wei Busong even has fake elixir cultivation!

In addition, perhaps because his father was born in the Baiyun Sect, Xiao Shiyao also knew a little bit about the Baiyun Sect.

Seventy years have passed, and Baiyun Sect has added two more Jindan elders. One of them is Senior Brother Chen Hai who led Lin Mu into Baiyun Sect, with the Taoist name Hanhai Zhenren.

…

Notary Office of Zaohua Pavilion

"A total of 150,000 low-grade spiritual stones and a total of 150 medium-grade spiritual stones are exchanged for the permanent property rights of the small Futang. Do you two have any objections?"

Under the witness of the foundation-building monks of the Creation Pavilion, Lin Mu and the Zhao family's Fu cultivators said in unison: "No objection."

The foundation-building monk of the Creation Pavilion said: "Since there is no objection, the two of you can sign the contract. This is a document and a certificate. If either party regrets it in the future, both of you can come to my Creation Pavilion with the certificate and the real person will make the decision."

"

Lin Mu and the Zhao family talisman master finalized the details, and after the signatures and drawings were completed, the foundation-building monk of the Creation Pavilion smiled and handed Lin Mu a jade talisman: "Congratulations to fellow Taoist Qingmu, for obtaining the permanent property rights of Bingshen No. 3 shop."

The Zhao Family Foundation Establishment also expressed gratitude: "Thank you, fellow Taoist Qingmu, for helping me in times of trouble. If I need help in the future, I, the Zhao Family of Heiyun, will definitely be my friends."

Lin Mu smiled and nodded.

…

The facilities in Xiaofutang are complete, Lin Mu only replaced the plaque with Qingfutang, and other facilities have basically remained unchanged.

On this day, someone suddenly came to visit.
Chapter completed!
