"All the lower-grade caves of the third level have been rented out. If you are in urgent need, you can go here to rent them. With my face, there should be caves for sub-renting."
The clerk was proud in his words, as if he was quite proud to be respected by a Jindan cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
"Thank you for your guidance, I will go here now."
Sun Caiwu's face did not change at all, but he already knew the trick in his heart. It was not that the caves in the Never-Sleeping City had been rented out, but that officials of the Tang Dynasty at all levels had taken advantage of them to make profits.
Every cultivator who came to rent was probably faced with the same scene, but Sun Caiwu still decided to go to the place pointed out by the clerk to take a look.
"There is still one vacant third-grade lower-grade cave house, with a good location, abundant spiritual power, and complete arrangements. If you want to rent it for a long time, it is the best choice. It costs 50,000 spiritual stones per year for more than 50 years, 55,000 spiritual stones per year for more than 20 years, and 60,000 spiritual stones for less than 20 years. How long do you plan to rent it for?"
In a dilapidated courtyard, an old man in the early Jindan stage talked freely. He was already accustomed to this kind of scene, and the corresponding introduction was even more handy.
"Did you calculate it wrong? The rental of the third-grade lower-grade cave house should be 40,000 spiritual stones per year. Such a high price is too expensive for me to afford."
Sun Caiwu certainly wanted to live in the Never-Sleeping City for a long time, just like he did in the Qinghonghe Market at that time, but he would never be a sucker who was slaughtered by others.
The role of spiritual stones for Jindan stage cultivators is certainly decreasing, but once a certain number is reached, it will also take a lot of energy to raise them.
The Never-Sleeping City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, certainly has many advantages, but there are other caves for rent less than a thousand miles away from the Never-Sleeping City. With Sun Caiwu's character, he will definitely not waste spiritual stones here.
"Every cave I rent is carefully arranged and selected, and there is no room for bargaining. If you are short of money, you can try other ways to rent."
The old Jindan early stage cultivator said lightly, with a look of complete indifference, not worrying at all that the cave rental in his hand would fail under the situation of supply exceeding demand and rare goods being available.
"I will take my leave first."
Without saying anything, Sun Caiwu chose to say goodbye and leave, and began to examine himself, feeling a little ashamed of the bold words he said when he entered the market.
Of course, he would not leave because of this, but patiently continued to visit the market, wanting to have a deep understanding of this market.
Especially some fire attribute spiritual objects that he needs for cultivation, which also determines the speed and frequency of his future cultivation improvement.
Although Sun Caiwu's storage bag contains four true fire elves obtained from the Huo Yuan Zhen Sha Cave, which can meet the needs of cultivation for a period of time, it is still far from enough.
"A bottle of third-level lower-grade Huo Yuan Hui Bao Dan requires one third-level middle-grade spiritual object or three third-level lower-grade spiritual objects"
"This third-level lower-grade Vajra True Fire Ring can only be exchanged and not sold, and requires one third-level upper-grade spiritual object"
Sun Caiwu kept wandering in the market, but every time he knew the price of a spiritual object, he not only did not relax at all, but became more and more embarrassed. At this time, he truly understood the true meaning of the phrase "Living in the Never-Sleeping City is not easy".
In the Never-Sleeping City Market, all spiritual objects above the third level that are publicly sold need to be bartered, and each store earns two profits in this transaction.
As the core of the entire continent's cultivation world, the Never-Sleeping City has a very good tolerance and acceptance of all spiritual objects. No matter what kind of unpopular spiritual objects, there are always cultivators who need them here.
"The spiritual objects in the Never-Sleeping City are indeed coveted, but first you need to choose to rent a cave, practice in seclusion, and refine the four true fire spirits. In addition, the injuries in the Fire Yuan Zhensha Cave have not really healed."
Sun Caiwu thought of this and naturally would not stay any longer. He turned around and left, heading straight for a third-level middle-grade spiritual mountain that specializes in cave rentals, located about 1,500 miles northwest of the Never-Sleeping City.
The distance of 1,500 miles is not too far for a Jindan-stage cultivator. This third-level middle-grade spiritual vein is also controlled by the Zheng family, one of the four great princes of the Tang Dynasty.
The four great princes of the Tang Dynasty are all families with Yuanying-stage cultivators sitting in the palace and holding important positions in the dynasty. They control all the third-level and above spiritual veins within a radius of 10,000 miles of the Never-Sleeping City.
"A third-level lower-grade cave costs 10,000 spirit stones per year, and 9,000 spirit stones for more than 50 years. How long do you plan to rent it for?"
The rental price of this cave on the spiritual vein is within a relatively normal range.
"Let's rent it for 50 years first"
Since we are here, we should make the best of it. Sun Caiwu will naturally not hesitate. 50 years is not too long or too short, and it is also within an acceptable range.
Half a day later, in a cave located on the upper part of Lingshan Mountain, Sun Caiwu finally settled down initially, and was ready to refine the four true fire spirits after a certain degree of breathing adjustment, so as to improve his own cultivation as soon as possible.
Judging from the current situation around the Never-Sleeping City, it is not easy to gain a firm foothold here and improve one's own cultivation.
And compared with the original Qinghonghe Market, the area within 100,000 miles of the Never-Sleeping City has been cleaned up by the efforts of generations of cultivators, and there is no other life form except cultivators.
If Sun Caiwu wants to gain a firm foothold here, he can only complete various tasks issued by the Tang Dynasty and earn a lot of commissions to meet his own cultivation needs. This is also the way of survival for most cultivators in the Never-Sleeping City.
For the Tang Dynasty, it only needs to pay a little price to command hundreds or even more Jindan-stage cultivators for its own use without any trouble. It is really a profitable business.
"Moo"
After Sun Caiwu adjusted his state, he took out a True Fire Spirit that looked like a cow and prepared to refine it.
This True Fire Spirit seemed to have sensed that a disaster was coming and that it would not live long, so its small body kept twisting and making bursts of noises, as if hoping to wait for rescue from its own kind.
"If it weren't for you little guys, I wouldn't have had to risk entering the Fire Yuan True Evil Cave. I hope you won't let me down."
Sun Caiwu naturally wouldn't give up refining the True Fire Spirit that he had risked his life to obtain, and swallowed it directly into his stomach.
Unlike various elixirs and fruits that melted in the mouth, the True Fire Spirit went directly down the throat and into the Dantian under the wrapping of layers of magic power.
