The storage space in bags used by Loose Cultivators is limited, not able to contain too much.
If one needs to transport large items, they would have to use storage boxes.
But Mo Hua knew that some storage Spiritual Artifacts have very large inner spaces, which of course are also very expensive, at least too expensive for Mo Hua to afford.
Mo Hua looked again at the gold-threaded phoenix Storage Bag, his curiosity piqued, really wanting to know how much it could hold inside.
Yet, he felt it inappropriate to rummage through his little sister apprentice’s Storage Bag.
On the other hand, the worker from the housing agency was overjoyed upon hearing this.
What was originally a rental had turned into a purchase.
A large deal had become an even bigger deal.
The housing agency worker immediately smiled and said, "This cave dwelling’s original price is forty thousand Spirit Stones. If you, young friends, wish to purchase, our agency can offer a discount price, thirty-eight thousand Spirit Stones!"
Just as Bai Zixi was about to nod, Mo Hua spoke up indignantly:
"Hold on!"
Thirty-eight thousand Spirit Stones?! Scamming who?
A Loose Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment generally spends only about ten thousand Spirit Stones.
That ten thousand Spirit Stones would require a Loose Cultivator to save up for over thirty years without eating or drinking.
Moreover, how could a Loose Cultivator not eat or drink?
And how can one’s cultivation always go smoothly?
If faced with an unexpected event requiring Spirit Stones, it’s highly likely one would spend more than earn, never mind ten thousand Spirit Stones, they might not even save up a hundred.
This cave dwelling costs thirty-five thousand Spirit Stones?
Save for a hundred years without eating or drinking?
Why would an ordinary cave dwelling be so expensive?
Mo Hua furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat angry.
The housing agency worker, feeling helpless, said, "The market price is what it is; we can’t do anything about it..."
Then he said something more about the Taoist Court, clans, and land issues, implying that the cave dwelling was indeed expensive, but it wasn’t their fault.
"The market price has always been like this for the past few years..."
Seeing they really had difficulties, Mo Hua then said:
"Then give us a cheaper price."
Though he didn’t need to pay the Spirit Stones himself, his little sister apprentice’s Spirit Stones were still Spirit Stones.
He also felt pained for her for the thirty thousand plus Spirit Stones.
"We can’t reduce it any further..." the housing agency worker said with a troubled face, "Young brother, you have a good eye. This cave dwelling you’ve chosen may look unremarkable, but it has a nice setup and is an excellent choice..."
Mo Hua’s eyes narrowed slightly, "The Formation of this cave dwelling is flawed."
The housing agency worker was taken aback, somewhat displeased:
"The Formation here can be flawed? Let’s not talk about other things, just this Formation alone, it integrates the Five Elements, it’s good for both offense and defense, not only can it prevent theft and repel enemies, but it can also ventilate and cultivate one’s Qi.
Moreover, the classification of this Formation method is definitely first-grade, drawn by a great Formation Master himself, and it’s almost brand new..."
The housing agency worker was glib, praising to the skies.
Mo Hua pointed to a spot on the ground and said: "The Formation here is broken."
The housing agency worker was startled, "Broken... broken?"
Mo Hua nodded, "The Earth Stone Formation, the second Formation Pattern’s media is broken..."
Mo Hua walked a few steps forward, looked up, and then said:
"The Formation painting here is incorrect."
"The Bright Lamp Formation, the fourth Pattern, the fifth stroke is wrong..."
The housing agency worker’s mouth hung open.
Mo Hua turned his head to look at the courtyard, "Originally there were four Formations here, but they’re no longer working and no one has repaired them, you probably didn’t even know..."
"Also, the Formation here is wrong too..."
"The Formation here isn’t incorrect, but it used low-grade Spiritual Ink, it will fail in two months."
"And here, the Formations are conflicting with each other..."
"What is this drawing here..."
"Here..."
...
The housing agency worker was completely dumbfounded.
Who exactly was this young cultivator?
He had never shown the Formation Diagrams of this cave dwelling to the young cultivator...
Formations are confidential, and the diagrams are always sealed. They can’t be revealed until the transaction is completed.
But how did this young cultivator, after just a few glances, list all the defects in the cave dwelling’s Formations as if he was reciting from a family treasure?
Whether a cave dwelling looks good or is comfortable to live in, and whether the layout is nice—
These are subjective issues.
One person may have one opinion, which can’t be taken for certain.
But issues with Formations are very real and can’t fool anyone...
And to have these issues pointed out so clearly and straightforwardly...
The housing agency worker felt the soul knocked out of him, sweating profusely.
After Mo Hua listed almost all the defects, his gaze flashed, and taking advantage of the worker’s shock, he made a ruthless bid:
"Twenty thousand Spirit Stones!"
He shot for a high price, determined to cut nearly half off.
The housing agency worker trembled, nearly fainting...
