Chapter 2614: Immortal Residence Rent
The Carefree Palace, where the Carefree Immortal Emperor resides, majestically occupies the summit of a magnificent mountain at the center of Bluewater Immortal City, exquisite and luxurious, majestic and imposing.
At the top of the mountain, there is a gigantic Gathering Immortals Array, visibly permeated by Immortal Qi, which is extremely dense.
Above the Carefree Palace in the air, four high rank Golden Crowned Immortal Cranes at the Immortal Emperor Realm are guarding.
While at the foot of the mountain, four high rank Green Fur Golden Eyed Lions at the Immortal Emperor Realm are guarding.
The sky and earth are guarded by a total of four Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts protecting the Carefree Palace; if an Array Master saw them, they would know it forms a wondrous Offensive and Defensive Great Formation.
With these four Immortal Birds and Beasts guarding, unless the Immortal Emperor personally comes, no Immortal can get close to the Carefree Palace.
Within a hundred Baili around the Carefree Palace, no Immortal is allowed to approach, or they will be attacked by the four Immortal Birds and Beasts.
Fang Bai and other Immortals, when they were still three hundred Baili away from the Carefree Palace, stopped their steps, unable to advance further.
Because the area they were in was already the residence of many high rank and peak experts at the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Those experts residing here, upon sensing lower rank Immortals entering their area, felt as if their territory was intruded by weak outsiders, filled with indignation and disdain.
Thus some Immortals released their aura to warn Fang Bai and others, making them retreat in difficulty.
Fang Bai himself could still bear it, but Fengyu Immortal Fairy and the other five Immortals found it hard to withstand such pressure and had to stop.
Fang Bai probed with Divine Sense for a moment and found some vacant Immortal Residences in the area, with ample space for the six Immortals to stay, and said to Fengyu Immortal Fairy, "How can we reside in these Immortal Residences?"
Fengyu Immortal Fairy could see Fang Bai wanted very much to live in this area, alongside high rank and peak experts at the Immortal Emperor Realm, and couldn’t help but smile wryly, pointing at an Immortal Hall not far away, and said, "Just pay some rent there... but with six Immortals, according to the rule, it requires paying six times the rent!"
In Fengyu Immortal Fairy’s view, though Fang Bai is an intermediate expert at the Immortal Emperor Realm, able to pay one rent, paying six rents would be somewhat beyond his means.
Even if he truly possesses such Cultivation Resources, would he be willing to spend it on these five not-so-long-known Immortals?
After all, Cultivation Resources in the Immortal Realm are not easily obtained, and normally Immortals will keep some resources on hand for daily cultivation needs, and they would hesitate to spend them all at once.
The other four Immortal King Realm experts accompanying them looked at Fang Bai with complex expressions.
For these Immortal King Realm experts, living in an area close to the Carefree Palace has been a long-held dream, but they clearly know that until they become experts at the Immortal Emperor Realm, there is virtually no hope.
Not to mention the expensive rent is hard for them to bear, even if they could afford the rent to live here, they would be unwelcome and pushed away by high rank and peak experts at the Immortal Emperor Realm.
An intermediate expert at the Immortal Emperor Realm could perhaps barely live here after paying enough rent, but if bringing five lower cultivation Immortals, the hope is very slim.
"Six times the rent? How much is that?"
Fang Bai asked with a frown.
In his previous life, he knew there was a city like Bluewater Immortal City and heard about some rules within but entered the city for the first time and was preparing to stay temporarily, he was unaware of the rent for the Immortal Residences.
Fengyu Immortal Fairy said, "For a span of sixty years, the rent here is one million medium-grade Immortal Emperor Level Immortal Stones or equivalent value in Cultivation Resources."
The four Immortal King Realm experts accompanying Fang Bai and Fengyu Immortal Fairy shook their heads in lament.
One million medium-grade Immortal Emperor Level Immortal Stones may not be a significant sum for high rank and peak experts at the Immortal Emperor Realm, but for them, they fear they couldn’t accumulate it in a lifetime.
Fang Bai made a sound of acknowledgment and said, "You mean, one Immortal can pay one million medium-grade Immortal Emperor Level Immortal Stones to live here for sixty years?"
Seeing Fengyu Immortal Fairy nod, Fang Bai muttered, "One Immortal one million stones, six Immortals would be six million... well, it’s fairly reasonable, not too exaggerated!"
His words left Fengyu Immortal Fairy and the five Immortals startled and slack-jawed.
"Immortal Friend Wushuang, what I said... was Immortal Emperor Level Immortal Stones, not Immortal King Level..."
Fengyu Immortal Fairy thought Fang Bai heard wrong and repeated.
Fang Bai said, "Yes! It’s six million medium-grade Immortal Emperor Level Immortal Stones! I didn’t hear wrong... All right, you wait, I’ll be back soon!"
He walked briskly into the Immortal Hall pointed out by Fengyu Immortal Fairy.
"Is... Wushuang Immortal Emperor really going to pay the rent?"
Standing beside Fengyu Immortal Fairy, a male Immortal King muttered.
"That is... six million medium-grade Immortal Emperor Level Immortal Stones... Will Wushuang Immortal Emperor really pay for us?"
Another Immortal King said in disbelief.
Fengyu Immortal Fairy watched as Fang Bai entered the Immortal Hall, feeling a bit dazed, and whispered, "We shall see... we shall see..."
After a few moments, she sighed, "If Immortal Friend Wushuang really pays the rent for us, what should we do? Not moving in would waste so much rent; moving in, how could high rank and peak experts at the Immortal Emperor Realm tolerate us living here?"
The five Immortals, led by Fengyu Immortal Fairy, were momentarily distressed.
Dozens of moments later, Fang Bai and another Immortal came out side by side from the Immortal Hall.
Fengyu Immortal Fairy and the five Immortals recognized the Immortal, knowing he was a disciple under the Carefree Immortal Emperor, titled "Wuya Immortal Emperor," responsible for collecting rent from the Immortals in Bluewater Immortal City.
In their impression, Wuya Immortal Emperor is a dignified and arrogant Immortal, usually sending an Immortal King Realm disciple to guide those with cultivation lower than high rank Immortal Emperor Realm into the residence when collecting rent.
But now, he was accompanying Fang Bai personally, which shocked Fengyu Immortal Fairy and others.
"Let’s go, to our Immortal Residence!"
Fang Bai, seeing Fengyu Immortal Fairy and the five Immortals staring at him, waved with a smile, then walked ahead with Wuya Immortal Emperor.
Fengyu Immortal Fairy and the other five Immortals regained their composure, exchanged glances, and followed quickly.
They held themselves with dignity, kept a distance, and dared not get too close to Fang Bai and Wuya Immortal Emperor.
"Wushuang Immortal Emperor and Wuya Immortal Emperor... could they be old acquaintances?"
Seeing Fang Bai and Wuya Immortal Emperor walking ahead conversing and laughing, an Immortal secretly transmitted to Fengyu Immortal Fairy and the four Immortals.
