Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

The Inner City District of Celestial Star City, Celestial Travel Trading Company.

Qin Ming had previously heard from Yao Tiannan that the Celestial Palace Treasure Tower belonged to this trade company, and now seeing it, it indeed lived up to its reputation.

This place had two long rows of shops facing the street, all bearing the emblem of the Celestial Travel Trading Company, with a variety of buildings adorned with intricate carvings and painted beams, showcasing the grandeur of a major power.

He strolled to an ancient-style pavilion, above which hung a plaque with three ancient seal characters ’Immortal Mansion Pavilion’.

Evidently, this was the place where the Celestial Travel Commerce Association specialized in renting and selling Spiritual Cave Mansions.

To be able to obtain the qualification for trading and leasing Spirit Land in a main city of the Human Race like Celestial Star City, it showed that the Celestial Travel Trading Company surely had extremely deep connections and strong financial resources behind it.

Not even an ordinary Void Refining Sect could achieve such.

After Qin Ming stepped inside, the space suddenly expanded, and he discovered the hall on the first floor was about a hundred zhang in size, with many cultivators of various kinds coming and going.

Among them, many were cultivators wearing various types of armor, unique apparel of the Star Guard to distinguish their realm and status.

Star Guards dressed in Black Iron Armor were mostly cultivators at the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages, at the bottom of the Star Guard Army.

Even so, the privileges of a Black Iron Star Guard were much greater than that of a regular cultivator, allowing them to select a Cave Mansion here for free.

And those wearing Bronze Armor were mostly at the Nascent Soul Realm; earlier when Qin Ming went to the Heaven-Holding Hall, he saw several Nascent Soul Great Perfection Bronze Star Guards.

They typically were responsible for duties at various departments and tasks like guarding and patrolling the city.

However, with the Celestial Patrol Mirror monitoring the skies day and night, there weren’t as many patrol cultivators on the streets.

Next were the Silver Armor cultivators forming the Star Guard, mostly Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators, selected through rigorous screening, deemed as the elite of Celestial Star City.

The captains of the Silver Armor Star Guard were mostly late-stage Divinity Transformation or Great Perfection Cultivators, unrivaled in strength and cultivation at this realm.

According to Baili Hui, many large sects from the Spirit Realm spared no expense to send their sect prodigies into the Star Guard Army for training, but very few succeeded.

Above them were the Golden Armor Star Guards, Void Refining Stage cultivators who were already high-ranking in the Immortal City, often in positions of authority and command.

Of course, enjoying generous salaries meant that these Void Refining Elders would still personally act when necessary.

There were legends of Purple Gold Saint Armor level Star Guard generals, whose cultivation and strength were unfathomable... even surpassing regular Void Refining stages.

Apart from these Star Guards, there were also many outsider Loose Cultivators here to purchase Cave Mansions.

Each with their own unique charm, maidservants with graceful figures moved back and forth among the cultivators, warmly greeting the esteemed guests.

As he observed.

A maid in a light pink outfit, with a gentle demeanor and a cooling attire, possessing Golden Core Stage cultivation, greeted him with a professional smile, warmly and courteously saying:

"Welcome, honored senior, may I ask if you wish to lease a Cave Mansion or purchase Spirit Land?"

She could instantly tell that while Qin Ming appeared ordinary, his cultivation was unfathomably deep, indicating he was an important client.

Qin Ming glanced at the light screen in the hall, which clearly displayed various sizes of Cave Mansions and Spirit Lands, but unfortunately, all marked below Tier Five.

It seemed they were intended for cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage.

At this moment.

A spirited elder in luxurious clothing emerged from the side hall behind the counter; it was none other than Shopkeeper Cao, whom Qin Ming had encountered on his way to Celestial Star City earlier.

"Ying’er, step aside."

"This honored senior will be personally attended to by me!"

As his words fell, the various cultivators in the hall ceased their conversations, eyes falling upon Qin Ming.

They were curious about what sort of person merited personal attention from Shopkeeper Cao, and were surprised to see a rather ordinary-looking middle-aged Loose Cultivator.

However, upon sensing that the other’s cultivation was utterly unfathomable, everyone’s heart tightened, respectfully averting their gaze, fearing to offend such a powerful cultivator.

"Oh! It’s Honored Elder Lii gracing us with your presence!"

"This place’s Spirit Land and Cave Mansion are unworthy of you, please proceed upstairs! Allow this humble one to recommend something!" Shopkeeper Cao beamed, quickly approaching, bowing in greeting.

Qin Ming nodded slightly, without further words, following Shopkeeper Cao straight to the third floor.

This floor also featured a hall about a hundred zhang in size, but its furnishings were rather exquisite, and those coming here to purchase Cave Mansions were all cultivators above the Divinity Transformation Stage.

There were only a few present, making it much quieter compared to the first floor.

"Haha! I didn’t expect to meet Honored Elder Lii again so soon, it truly is fate!" After ushering Qin Ming to the third floor, Shopkeeper Cao quickly ordered a maid to serve top-quality Spirit Tea.

"I must thank you again, Honored Elder, for rescuing me last time; otherwise, I wouldn’t be standing here, haha!"

"No worries, it was just a coincidence, besides, it was Lord Yao who acted." Qin Ming casually waved it off.

Shopkeeper Cao persisted: "Had it not been for Honored Elder Lii’s timely appearance, using Divine Thought to intimidate those bandits, we wouldn’t have been able to wait for the Star Guard Lord of Celestial Star City to act."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries.

Shopkeeper Cao cut to the chase, "Presumably Honored Elder Lii is here to purchase a Cave Mansion or Spirit Land, yes?"
