184 Buying a house (1)
At seven o âclock in the morning, Xu Qiâ an rode on his beloved little mare. It never got stuck in traffic and quickly rushed to the Imperial astronomer. Under the warm reception of the white-robed warlocks, he found Chu Caiwei, who was listening to Song Qingâs teachings.
âMiss Caiwei, I wish to buy a house in the inner city. I know that the Directorate of Celestials can observe Fengshui, so I would like to ask for your help.â Xu Qi âan stated his intention.
Yan Caiwei shifted her gaze away from the bottles on the table and lifted her face. The face of an 18-year-old girl looked very tender.
It was beautiful and pink, with big bright eyes. The White of the eyes was as clear as a babyâs, and it looked extremely pure.
As everyone knew, childrenâs eyes were clear, bright, and pure. The reason was that the White of their eyes was clear.
Unlike adults, the White of their eyes would become cloudy and bloodshot as they grew older.
Yan Caiweiâs eyes were as clear as a babyâs, big and bright, extremely beautiful.
âI want to learn alchemy, so I wonât go.â Yan Caiwei puffed up her cheeks and turned her face to the side.
Her period is here? He was not in a good mood ⊠Xu Qian was guessing in his heart when he heard Song Qing say,âIâll get a Junior Brother to accompany you.â
Why would I want a Junior Brother? I wonât! This kind of thing could only be meaningful with the company of a Junior Sister. Who would like to go shopping with a man? Xu Qi âan shook his head and declined Song Qingâs good intentions. He said, â
âMiss Cai Wei, why are you so ⊠Spread shit all over the wall?â
âIâve been stuck as a rank-7 Fengshui master for more than a year. I could have advanced to alchemy a long time ago, but itâs too difficult. Itâs tiring and boring âŠâ Yan Caiwei answered seriously.
Well, I understand. Science and Engineering is a womanâs nightmare.
âFurthermore, to advance to a sixth-grade Alchemist, you need to independently complete a brand new Alchemy technique and promote it. Only by receiving positive feedback from the people can you successfully advance.â
what? â Xu Qi âan didnât understand what he said. get feedback from the people? â
âDo you know who made the gunpowder?â
âHow would I know?â
âThe gunpowder was created three hundred years ago by a Feng Shui Master from the Directorate of Celestials. After he promoted the gunpowder, it was recognized by the people and he was promoted to an Alchemist. Of course, it didnât mean that it had to be refined into a world-shocking item. Senior brother Song Qing was promoted to an Alchemist because he was able to refine colored glass.â âThe main point is the feedback from the people,â said Yan Caiwei.
So the one who ruined my money-making plan was you, Song Qing, you son of a b * tch ⊠Xu Qi âan felt hatred in his heart and asked doubtfully, why do we need the feedback of the people? â
Chu Caiwei immediately looked at Song Qing. The latter pondered for a moment before saying,âThis is the secret of the Directorate of Celestials. I donât mind telling you, but remember not to tell anyone.â
After seeing Xu Qi âan nod, Song Qing said, âWhat do you think is the difference between the Directorate of Celestials and the other cultivation systems? â
for the country and the people, heâs selfless and dedicated. Heâs especially noble. Xu Qi âan said seriously.
Such an answer made Song Qing and the few white-robed warlocks at the side smile unconsciously.
Young master Xu was indeed the best friend of the Directorate of celestial ⊠Song Qing nodded in satisfaction and his tone became enthusiastic, ââYes, youâre a very unique and accurate person. I admire you for that.
The core of the spirit refinement realm was the body, which was the foundation of a martial artist ⊠The Enlightenment state of the Confucians ⊠Well, did this mean that one should not study if they did not have the brain? In the Amitabha realm of Buddhism, the little Amitabha had to abide by the precepts, which were the foundation for the monk to comprehend the Dharma ⊠What about the level nine physician realm of warlocks?
âIn all major systems, the nine ranks are the foundation. In fact, the uniqueness of the nine ranks represent the core of the system. The spirit refining realm of martial artists, the Enlightenment realm of Confucianism, and the Shami realm of Buddhism.â

Doctors didnât seem to have much to do with warlocks, right?
Warlocks walked the path of humanity? âIt shouldnât be the person I think it is âŠâ It was no wonder that this group of white-shirted people were so proud, but what they did was âserving the peopleâ.No wonder the previous supervisors were the Guardians of the capital. It turned out that they had to rely on the Imperial court ⊠This made me think of the Confucians, who also had to rely on the Imperial court. The Confucians still didnât have a second stage expert. From Erlangâs words, it was very likely that they had lost their official career.
Xu Qi âan muttered to himself. Seeing that he had not opened his mind, Song Qing reminded him, ââA rank-9 doctorâs essence isnât medicine, but a person. The Warlock system is based on the human path, so the achievement of a sixth-grade Alchemist requires the approval of the people. Thatâs why the Directorate of Celestials has to rely on the Imperial court.â

If someone said so, then there must be other DAOs. Other than the difference in systems on the surface, there was still the distinction of âDaoâ behind it?
do you have any idea about the new Alchemy? â Xu Qi âan asked.
Song Qing glanced at his Junior Sister and said helplessly, ââIâm not smart and I donât like to study. Sigh, Iâm afraid itâll be difficult.â
The other white-robed warlocks shook their heads one after another, expressing their disapproval of Chu Caiweiâs advancement.
âJunior Sister Caiwei is like this ⊠Itâs up to fate.â
sigh, teacher Jian Zheng doesnât care. He probably thinks that Junior Sister is a girl and doesnât need to have a high realm.
âWe canât do anything.â
The white-robed warlocks said regretfully and sighed.
Yan Caiwei pouted like a poor student with bad grades, sighing at her elders in disappointment.
There was no chicken essence in this world yet. He didnât know if making chicken essence would be considered as completing an alchemy technique. âI have a way to deal with this,â Xu Qi âan muttered.
Buzzzzzz! On the spot, all the white-robed people in the alchemy room looked over, their eyes shining with golden light.
âIs there really, really a way?â Song Qingâs eyes widened. He was overjoyed that he was about to learn a New Alchemy technique, but he was also relieved that he had finally solved a problem for an old father.
âYoung master Xu, is young master Xuâs words true?â The white-robed men came over excitedly. The white-robed man, who was busy with his alchemy experiment, also put down his work and stared at Xu Qi âan with great anticipation.
âIâll give you some time to think about it and give you an answer in a few days.â Xu Qi âan then looked at li Caiwei.âLady Caiwei, do you have free time today?â
âYes, there is âŠâ The white-robed warlocks in the room said in unison.
Song Qing pushed Yan Caiwei to her feet and said earnestly, ââYoung master Xu is our Directorate of Celestials âbenefactor. Isnât he a few hundred times more important than alchemy? Today, you will accompany him to walk around the inner city.â
Just like that, Yan Caiwei was pushed into the wolfâs den by her senior brothers.
Xu Qi âan brought Yan Caiwei to the shop and an old manager welcomed them warmly. âMaster and Madam, are you buying a property or renting a house?â
âHeâs an old man. In my previous life, he was always served by a well-dressed lady in a workplace uniform âŠâ Xu Qi âan ridiculed in his heart, but on the surface, he smiled.âPurchase property.â
The smile on the old managerâs face became more and more enthusiastic. The Commission for renting a house and buying property could not be mentioned in the same breath.
âWhat scale?â
âTriple entry, I guess.â
The smile on the old managerâs face couldnât be described with enthusiasm, but it was like seeing his long-lost father, and he almost cried with joy.
There was a reason why he was so excited. In the inner city, according to the location, not to mention an ordinary small courtyard, a three-entry house was sold for 5000 to 10000 taels of silver.
Ordinary people could not buy a house with three entrances and above. This year, the broker had never sold a house of this grade, and it had been eating for a year.
âIs there a house that youâve taken a fancy to?â The old manager asked humbly.
âFive thousand to seven thousand taels of silver, give me a list.â Xu Qi âan sat down and took a sip of green tea, which was probably the best in the tooth shop.
The taste was average, far from Wei Yuanâs tea room.
Soon, a few lists were listed. Xu Qi âan took them and scanned through them. After carefully recalling for a moment, he directly removed three of them and only kept one.
âWhy do you only want this one?â As if performing a magic trick, li Caiwei took out a handful of candied plums from her deerskin waist bag.
âBecause the house above is close to the Imperial Academy.â Xu Qi âan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
The location and area of the houses were listed on the paper. The more detailed information needed to be read separately. Xu Qi âan glanced at it and found a house with a good location and a large area, but the price was much lower than the other houses.B223.
âOld man, why is this house so much cheaper?â Xu Qi âan asked calmly.
The price of B223 was 5500 taels of silver, and a house of the same grade would be sold for more than 7000 taels of silver.
âThereâs naturally a reason why itâs cheap âŠâ The old manager looked around and said in a low voice, â
âThat house is evil and canât be lived in. Guest, please choose another one.â
Xu Qi âan and Li Caiwei looked at each other and thought, evil? Then I, the night watchman, really have to go and see how evil it is.
However, Xu Qi âan was not reckless. He asked cautiously, ââWhatâs going on? Old man, please speak properly.â
Although the capital was the territory of the night watchmen, there were indeed many hidden masters with unknown backgrounds, or there were indeed some very strange places. Xu Qi âan had heard many strange legends about the capital when he was a child.
[ authorâs note: Iâve suddenly discovered something very embarrassing. At first, the name of the institute was âWhite Deer Institute,â but slowly, it became âcloud deer Institute.â ] The worst thing is that I havenât even realized it until today. I only found out when a reader messaged me privately.
I instantly felt ashamed. I then patted my chest and said,I will definitely change.
After that, I did some research and discovered that the White Deer Institute and the cloud deer Institute had a 50 â 50 chance of appearing, which spanned over a hundred chapters ⊠My scalp went numb. I really canât change this. I can write a chapter in this time.
Everyone had a tacit understanding and pretended that this never happened!
