Ye Cheng stared at the two people he didn't know. A strange feeling rose in his heart. It was a feeling of powerlessness that he couldn't grasp. During the time when he was separated from Li Jinzhi, he didn't understand what Li Jinzhi had experienced, what he saw, and the people he came into contact with.

Take these two for example. If Li Jinzhi didn't know them, he definitely wouldn't poke his nose into their business.

But what exactly was their relationship?

The two people in front took the cultivator tokens and walked out. Li Jinzhi and Ye Cheng stood in front of the counter and handed over the light yellow tokens. "The two of us would like to rent a cave abode on a higher level."

The manager enthusiastically took out two jade slips and handed them to the two of them. He asked, "Seniors, the higher the level of the cave abode, the more expensive the rent. May I know what level of cave abodes you intend to rent?"

Li Jinzhi was about to put the jade slip on his forehead when he heard Ye Cheng say, "We can rent one."

The manager was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said in realization, "Yes, yes, yes, there are indeed large cave abodes with more stone rooms. They are suitable for cultivators who have a good relationship with each other to rent."

"One stone room is enough," Ye Cheng corrected.

Li Jinzhi looked at Ye Cheng with a strange expression and said telepathically, "We have a lot of money. We don't have to be so thrifty."

Ye Cheng was stunned. He turned his head and replied seriously, "The road to immortality is long. We should save as much as we can. Besides, haven't the two of us always cultivated in the same room?"

After a pause, Chi Tong reflected the light of the light yellow lamp and said pitifully, "Or do you think I'm a hindrance when I cultivate next to you?"

"No."

Li Jinzhi thought about it and felt that it made sense. Anyway, they had cultivated in the same cave abode for decades and had long become a habit. In addition, the ice bed was moved out, so the two of them could cultivate faster than if they cultivated alone.

Most importantly, they could also save a lot of money in rental fees.

After making the final decision, Li Jinzhi looked up at the steward, only to see a smile on the steward's face and eyes. "Let's have one then."

"So this is the relationship between the two of you. Sigh, I'm so envious."

The steward muttered to himself, "It's so hard to find someone in the cultivation world whom you can rest assured to cultivate with in the same room."

Li Jinzhi's heart warmed. Thinking of the kindness she had shown him since he came to this world, he sighed with emotion. "It's really not easy to find someone who's willing to abandon interests and schemes. The temptation of this cultivation world is too great. I'm really lucky."

The more Ye Cheng listened, the brighter his eyes became. The unhappiness that had arisen because of the two Friar Of The North had been thrown to the back of his mind. His heart and eyes were full of each other.

"Congratulations." The steward's eyes were filled with envy.

Li Jinzhi frowned slightly. He always felt that although it was fortunate to have a close friend, it was not worth congratulating. However, it was reasonable to congratulate him for having a close friend.

However, he always felt that something was wrong.

"The two of you should discuss which room to rent as soon as possible. There are a lot of people waiting behind you. However, in my opinion, the two of you should rent the middle and upper floors." The steward said with a smile.

"Oh?

Is there any way to get this position? "Li Jinzhi asked seriously.

Although he had done his homework when he came here, the cultivator's cave of the Earth Core City were all in the triangle in the center of the city. This inverted triangle was extremely large and was divided into countless cultivator's cave. The lowest level of the cave had the most spiritual qi, and the rent was the cheapest. It was often occupied by low-level Qi Refining Stage cultivators.

In contrast, the higher the rent, the more expensive it was, and the more abundant the spiritual qi.

The highest level of the cultivator's cave was occupied by the City Lord of the Earth Core City, the twin sisters.

"The first to third floors are specially rented for Qi Refining Stage cultivators, but now they are also rented to the Friar Of The North. The fourth floor is for Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, the fifth to seventh floors are for Golden Elixir, and the eighth to ninth floors are for Yuanying."

The steward smiled, "It's just that the price of renting a high-rise house is higher for cultivators of the same level. The seventh floor is five times more expensive than the fifth floor, and the ninth floor is ten times more expensive than the eighth floor. Naturally, the spiritual qi is also very different."

Li Jinzhi understood that during Yuanying, they could only rent the eighth and ninth floors. However, because the price of the ninth floor was too high, the steward suggested that it should be the eighth floor. However, the two of them had plenty of spirit stones.

"How many spirit stones do the ninth floor of the cave cost every year?" Ye Cheng asked with a frown.

"Twenty mid-grade spirit stones."

When the steward heard that they were asking about the ninth floor, he could not help but frown, "The eighth floor only costs two mid-grade spirit stones. Don't you want to consider it?

You should know that twenty mid-grade spirit stones sound ordinary, but when cultivators enter meditation, there is no time. When they come out, their relatives and friends may have died. Many a little makes a mickle, so the price is quite high!

I work here, but I only get ten mid-grade spirit stones a year. "His face was full of grief.

Li Jinzhi did not speak, secretly calculating how many spirit stones they could save by living together.

One year was twenty, two years was forty, two hundred, two hundred, two thousand.

One hundred mid-grade spirit stones was equivalent to one high-grade spirit stone, so two thousand would be twenty high-grade spirit stones.

After pondering for a long time, Li Jinzhi secretly praised Ye Cheng in his heart for being good at housekeeping. He patted the man's shoulder with gratification, then turned to the steward and said, "Then we'll take the ninth floor of the cave."

He put the jade slip on his forehead. There were many empty cave dwellings shining with green light. After picking a cave dwelling with nine floors with a wide view, he returned the jade slip to the steward, "Then we'll take this one. How many years of rent do I have to pay first?"

When the words "rent" came out of his mouth, Li Jinzhi was silent for a long time. He did not expect that the first time he checked into a room was with a man.

"The nine-floor cave dwellings are paid once every ten years. If you go into seclusion or go out, you have to come here to pay the rent you owe. If you owe more than a hundred years, you will be directly ejected from the cave dwelling."

The steward swept their light yellow tokens into the cave dwelling and said slowly, "How much do you intend to pay at one time?"

"Ten years."

Li Jinzhi glanced at Ye Cheng, who understood tacitly and took out two hundred spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them over.

Li Jinzhi took the two tokens and followed Ye Cheng out of the Immortal Cave Pavilion. After confirming the direction, they flew straight in the direction of the cave dwelling. However, he turned a corner, put on his hood to hide his figure, and took Ye Cheng three or four rounds before slowly landing in front of a cave dwelling on the sixth floor.

Ye Cheng's face darkened when he saw where the two of them were. After waiting at the door for a while, his face darkened even more when he saw a man and a woman coming out of the cave dwelling.

The two of them were not wearing hoods at this time. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. They were indeed Qing Mu and Ye Dieer. Li Jinzhi found that the two of them had entered the Golden Elixir stage, so it was reasonable for them to stay here.

The man who came out of the cave dwelling was stunned and seemed to be a little hesitant. However, the woman's face was cold and expressionless.

Ever since Qing Mu arrived at the cave dwelling, he had been very nervous. He was not an optimistic person. Suddenly, a Yuanying cultivator appeared to help him. If he had a request, he could not refuse. If he was familiar with her, it was even more impossible. At his age, he knew people of the same level as him. This Yuanying was a Guangyuan Yuanying. What a joke.

"I …" Li Jinzhi had just said the word "I" when he was pulled back by Ye Cheng behind him. He turned his head in confusion, but only saw the back of Li Jinzhi's head.

“”

"It's nothing. We don't have to see each other in the future."

Ye Cheng said without looking back. Then, he sent a voice transmission to Li Jinzhi. "Don't think about the past. You have me now!"

Li Jinzhi, who was being pulled back, was stunned. He turned back to look at the two people. His frown relaxed slightly.

Yes, his interaction with these two people had ended sixty years ago at the Yibing Gate. Even the shackles that bound him had ended when he resolved the knot in his heart with the villain Ye Cheng.

He did not think that he was the main character of a novel now. He was just Li Jinzhi, a Li Jinzhi who wanted to obtain more power. Even without him, those two people could have made a name for themselves. Perhaps if he had not intervened, Qing Mu would not have been used as cannon fodder. Perhaps, after a few years, he would have been able to see the light of day.

"Yes, don't take it to heart. The two of us were bullied in our early years and could not stand the way that person did things." Li Jinzhi nodded and smiled as he was pulled further and further away. "Goodbye." There were some things and some people that it was better not to disturb.

Qing Mu and Ye Dieer watched as the two people gradually left the vicinity of the cave dwelling. They turned into rays of light and flew away. They could not help but be stunned.

Was that all?

"Don't you think …" Ye Dieer, who had not spoken for many years, suddenly spoke. "That person's eyes and brows look like someone."

Qing Mu pondered, carefully recalling the face in her memory. A young man from many years ago suddenly rushed into her mind. She was about to say that they looked alike when she remembered that person had never come out after entering the maze.

However …

"You can speak?!" Qing Mu stared at Ye Dieer in surprise.

Ye Dieer looked back silently and turned to go to the cave dwelling next door.

"Die 'er, wait!

You can speak?! "Qing Mu chased after him and asked in surprise.

The two people who were far away naturally did not know what had happened in front of the cave dwelling. Li Jinzhi turned back in the ray of light and said, "I almost went crazy. So many years have passed. Even if it was my Senior Brother in the past, there is no need to disturb the other person's life now."

Ye Cheng had pulled the other party away out of selfishness. Now that he saw that Li Jinzhi had no intention of blaming him, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Then where are we going now?" Ye Cheng changed the topic.

"I heard that the All Affairs Pavilion is a place to accept missions. The two of us have improved too quickly. If we just meditate and cultivate, it will not be beneficial for us to comprehend our original supernatural powers. Although you have comprehended the power of time a long time ago, it is a coincidence that you can truly release it." Li Jinzhi concluded, "The two of us need actual combat experience."

Ye Cheng nodded. They indeed lacked actual combat experience. If they could improve their coordination, then Li Jinzhi would be even more inseparable from him in the future.

The two of them had made the same choice, but their goals were poles apart. Fortunately, they did not say it out loud.

From afar, a tall earthen palace appeared at the end of the horizon. The tall signboard wrote "All Affairs Pavilion", and there was an endless stream of cultivators coming and going.
