âWow, the dragon in its name is really fitting.â Wang Ming mumbled to himself as he looked through the car window.
The mountain itself wasnât anything too special, but the road that spirals around the mountain had the appearance of a dragon, making it seem as though there was a dragon coiling around the mountain.
While they admired the mountain, Chairman Lee pulled up to the gates and spoke to the guards there.
âIâm Chairman Lee from the Cultivatorsâ Association, and I have with me the Demon Sealing Faction. Weâre here as scheduled.â
Once the guards verified his identity, they opened the gates to allow them inside.
âTake your time.â
âThank you.â
The moment they entered the gates, it felt as though they had entered another world, as the spiritual energy suddenly spiked up.
Yuan was pleasantly surprised by this. Although it wasnât as powerful as the spiritual energy in the immortal caves, they were only at the entrance of the mountainâ the lowest level. He can only imagine how much stronger the spiritual energy gets as they go higher into the mountain.
âWhere will our headquarters be located?â Shi Lang asked.
âThe middle levels. I tried getting you guys a headquarters at the upper levels, but you donât have even credibility. Donât be discouraged, though, as you can always move to the upper levels once youâre ready.â
âFurthermore, getting a building in the middle level is already an amazing feat for a new faction with only 10 members.â Chairman Lee said.
Everyone there turned to look at Yuan. Surely, heâs the reason they were allowed to even step foot inside the Dragon Spiral Mountain.
Sometime later, Chairman Lee stopped the car somewhere in the middle level of the Dragon Spiral Mountain.
âGo ahead. Take a look around and tell me what you think.â
Yuan and the others wasted no time and immediately went to look around the place.
âWow, there are two separate buildings in this place. Is the second one included if we buy the first one?â Wang Ming asked.
âYes, everything here is included.â Chairman Lee nodded.
The first building, which was also the most spacious, had all sorts of training facilities, indoor sports fields, and offices. As for the second building, it was more of a living quarter than anything, as most of its rooms were bedrooms.
Besides the buildings, there were also a lot of empty lands, outdoor sports fields, an outdoor training area, and even a pond, almost like a miniature Jaded Garden.
âThe spiritual energy in this area is slightly above the immortal caves⊠UnbelievableâŠâ Wang Ming mumbled to himself.
And he continued, âI like this place.â
âI also think we should take this place. It has pretty much everything we need.â Shi Lang agreed.
The others also shared the same sentiment.
Yuan nodded.
âHow much is this place?â Yuan then asked Chairman Lee.
âSince this is the Dragon Spiral Mountain, itâs going to be a lot more expensive than your typical house. The total will be 4 billion dollars, and youâll have to pay 100 million every year for property tax.â
âF-Four billion?!â Yuan was left speechless by this enormous price tag.
Even after selling his Divine-grade treasure, he cannot even afford half of it!
âI only have half a billionâŠâ Yuan sighed.
Chairman Lee then spoke, âYou can pay monthly installments if you cannot pay all of it right now. If you need money, our Cultivatorsâ Association will gladly helpââ
âItâs okay, we can pay for it.â Li Jinxi suddenly said, interrupting Chairman Lee.
âYou mean our families? Cause we donât have that kind of money.â Wang Ming said.
Shi Lang nodded and said, âYuan, you can pay as much as you can afford. Our families will fill in the gap.â
âAre you sure? 3.5 billion is a lot of money.â
âYouâre not buying this place for yourself, are you? Since weâre also going to live here, we are obligated to pay our share. Itâs only fair that way. And although 3.5 billion is a lot of money, itâs nothing worth mentioning before the Six Spiritual Families.â Wang Ming smiled.
âThen itâs decided. Weâll take this place.â Li Jinxi said to Chairman Lee.
âI-I will let the owner of the mountain know your decision!â Chairman Lee quickly said.
âHey, Chairman, Iâm curious. If the middle-level houses are already this expensive, how much would it cost to live up there?â Hong Xiuquan asked.
Chairman Lee smiled and said, âThe houses up there will cost 20 billion at minimum.â
â20 billion?!â They were shocked.
âAs expected, only the wealthiest could possibly live in this place.â Shi Lang sighed.
âThatâs not true. Even if you are rich, youâre not guaranteed to live in the Dragon Spiral Mountain. Only those approved by the lord of this mountain can live here.â Chairman Lee said.
âWho is the lord?â Yuan asked.
âHeâs a very seclusive individual. Even I donât know his identity.â Chairman Lee shrugged.
âThen how are you going to contact him?â
âHe has a manager who does everything for him, and thatâs who I speak with.â
âI seeâŠâ
âMaybe youâll get to meet the lord in the future since youâll be living in his property.â
âTo own the entire Dragon Spiral Mountain, I cannot imagine how powerful this person must be.â Wang Ming mumbled.
Sometime later, Chairman Lee said, âDaoist Yuan, I will have the paperwork ready by the time we return to the Cultivatorsâ Association. You donât have to pay immediately, but you can start moving in starting today if youâd like.â
âAlright. Thank you.â Yuan nodded.
He then turned to Chu Liuxiang and asked her, âLulu, do you want to visit your family since weâre already here?â
She shook her head, âNo. If I visit them, they might make me return home sooner. And itâs not like I miss them or anything.â
âThen letâs return back to my apartment for now.â Yuan nodded.
They returned to the car shortly after and began making their way back to the Cultivatorsâ Association.
