C962 A Nice Place to Live
It seemed like the business wasn't very good. How could a fifteen or sixteen year old child owe someone money, and she herself was also a small peddler, perhaps it was someone in her family that owed her money. For such a child to live with such a heavy debt, and it was really too difficult in Cultivation World.0
Zhong Ming's appearance caused the man to be a little apprehensive. In their eyes, a Nascent Soul Cultivator was something that was far away from them, and right now, he was already very angry, he couldn't afford to offend for the sake of this small amount of money. He could find a chance to get the Spirit Stone again in the future, and the best thing he could do now was to quickly leave.
"I will return it to you as soon as possible." The girl said loudly to the cultivator that was walking away, after all, she was not able to take out the Spirit Stone, and her business was not doing well for the past few days. She did not open up for many days, otherwise, she would not have put herself in such an awkward situation.
"You owe me a lot of money?" Zhong Ming asked.
"Senior is very unfamiliar, I have just arrived at the All Saints City, it is not possible to find a place to stay without making an appointment first, all those who come here will stay for a long time, so the rooms are very tight, but if there are relatives and friends here you can also stay, this is not a very strict place to check in, and no one dares to cause trouble here." The girl had a new face when she entered Zhong Ming's room. Although she didn't directly answer his question, she had her own thoughts.
"So that's how it is." No wonder Zhong Ming realized that there were so many people walking around on the streets. It seemed that there was no place to stay like him.
"Senior, did you find a place to stay in the city? If not, you can come to my house and make sure the price is reasonable. " Seeing Zhong Ming's expression, the girl thought for a while and said carefully.
When Zhong Ming heard that the little girl actually had a place for him to stay, he was overjoyed. "You actually have a place to stay?"
A little girl who owed a lot of money actually had a place to stay. As a little girl who was a cultivator of Foundation Stage, being able to live in a house here and even owe others money was simply inconceivable.
"I live in the house my grandfather left me. It's the only thing he left me." The girl said humbly.
Zhong Ming was surprised, how could a person who could afford to buy a house here allow his descendants to live such an awkward life?
Seeing Zhong Ming's surprised expression, the little girl continued: "Grandfather is a Pharmacist, and he is the kind that is very powerful. He came here to join All Saints City, and I was raised by grandfather by his side when I was very young, it can be said that when I was born, I grew up here."
Zhong Ming never thought that this girl's grandfather was actually also a Pharmacist. A pill refined by a Pharmacist was priceless, how could it be reduced to such a state? This girl only sold normal spirit herbs, it wasn't worth much money at all.
"Since your grandfather was so powerful, why would he allow you to set up stalls and sell some cheap goods? How did you get your debt?" Zhong Ming could not understand why.
"My grandfather left here five years ago and never came back. Some people say that he died, and that this debt was left behind at that time." The little girl said, choked with sobs.
The reason why Zhong Ming was able to come and help out was because he met someone he shouldn't have met at the city gate. Hiding in front of her small stall was also very clear, and this girl was able to see through him very well, even a little, and seeing that he was able to keep calm, and avoid his embarrassing situation, he already felt bad about not buying her goods, but he didn't think that they would meet like this again, and this help was something he should be able to help.
He also knew that if he did not help this girl, he would not have been able to accomplish anything in the future. Seeing this girl, Zhong Ming's heart was filled with sympathy, as a girl with no talent, if he did not help this girl, then he could imagine what would happen to her, since he was lacking in manpower.
"Bring me to your residence to see if it's suitable for living." Zhong Ming felt that this little girl had the brains to do business, but since the house prices were all very expensive, since she could rent a place, then there was no need to work so hard to set up a stall.
The things piled up here should have been things that the cultivator forced the girl to take out just now, to see if there was anything that could lower his debt. Seeing the girl take all these things into the Storage Bag, the girl sighed, a descendant of a Pharmacist actually fell to such a state, without even a single Storage Ring, it seemed like her days were really difficult, probably not even her grandfather could have imagined it.
Even though the girl's aptitude was not very good, she was still really intelligent. She was able to read Zhong Ming's thoughts from his eyes, and explained: "In the past, I also had a Storage Ring, but the debt is too much, it's all paid off. If I didn't still have to set up a stall to pay the debt, this would not have been left behind."
Zhong Ming had learnt that her name was Lan Xueying and that her grandfather, Lan Qiheng, was a ninth grade Pharmacist. Back then, she had some intelligence in concocting pills, and she came here to learn the art of alchemy. After that, she herself was also a part of the Pharmacist, and lived in this place since then, but Lan Xueying had been brought here when he was successful, it was just that her talent was limited. Her grandfather did not think that she needed to waste any resources or time, and he did not teach her the art of alchemy.
Probably because of his grandfather's fame, no one had dared to touch her in all these years, but after that, it was hard to say. After all, this woman had just reached the Foundation Stage, so for this city which was filled with Senior Cultivator, her cultivation was just too low. How could she not be bullied by others?
The place was very quiet, the alley was very deep, and even though it was not very old, there was still plenty of spirit energy here. The reason was that there was actually a mouthful of Spirit Spring here, although it was not very big, but it was enough to use, Zhong Ming did not think that there would be a formation here, although the level was very low, but it could protect this woman. Most cultivators below the Aurous Core stage would not be able to enter, Zhong Ming was very satisfied with this place.
No wonder why she was able to reach Foundation Establishment in such a short span of time without the guidance of an adult, it was directly related to this Spirit Spring. Presumably, using this place to cultivate, she would be able to advance again.
Zhong Ming looked around, there were five rooms, in the middle there was a master bedroom, on both sides of it there were two large rooms, each room was not crowded and could accommodate two people, the courtyard was very clean, other than the master bedroom, which was already filled with cultivators, although the highest level was not very high, the highest was only Middle Stage Of Core Formation, Zhong Ming suspiciously looked at the girl, with this kind of income, how could she still owe him money?
