Chapter 30
Since the first time she discovered that the senior brother and senior sister had come over, she had been wondering if there would be other people coming over later. After all, when the Divine Cauldron exploded, the senior brother and senior sister were standing about ten steps behind her, while the junior brother was standing a bit further away.
Although there is a large gap between their arrivals, the probability of other fellow sect members crossing over with the explosion is very high.
Neither Song Jixing nor the fellow sect brothers and sisters knew how big the explosion wave of the Divine Cauldron was.
Fortunately, there was a buffer time gap in between. If all of them got blasted over at one go, she really wouldn't know what to do!

Song Jixing didn't know much about how many people were there in the cultivation world. Maybe it was because cultivators focused single-mindedly on cultivation and didn't pay much attention to external matters.
Only one out of a hundred people bore spiritual roots, and those with outstanding spiritual roots were even rarer.
The cultivation world distinguished talents based on spiritual roots.
There were several types of spiritual roots. The more spiritual roots one had in their body, the more exotic the spiritual energy needed, and the slower the cultivation speed. The fewer spiritual roots one had, the faster they could cultivate.
Cultivation was originally about competing with the heavens for longevity. Therefore, those with single spiritual roots took the lead.
Song Jixing had double spiritual roots, so her cultivation speed was decent. Adding to the fact that she managed to hug a 'gold thigh' after crossing over, she was able to enter the Inner Sect.
However, cultivators had long lifespans. The eldest senior brother of the same generation as her was almost 800 years older than her. His great-great-grandson of the 27th generation had already been born, and she had even attended his one-month celebration banquet.
Although not every cultivator was like that senior brother, there were indeed quite a lot of people in her sect.
Her sect had over ten peaks across three mountains. The number of people on each peak varied, some had around a hundred people, some had thousands. Although there were only a few people who entered the Inner Sect, the number of outer sect disciples and miscellaneous disciples was indeed not small.
Especially the mountain where the Immortal Sect Treasury was located, because the peak master was wealthy, he had recruited 3000 outer sect disciples.
Song Jixing thought about the scene of 3000 people appearing at once...
She really didn't dare to think about it at all!
If 3000 people suddenly popped up in this small district, it would no longer be an issue of whether the houses could fit everyone, but a matter worthy of filming several episodes of 'Approaching Science'!
Therefore, she had to hurry up and find a suitable house to prepare for contingencies.
Some abandoned yards were completely covered in wildly growing roses on the railings, seemingly a small gift left by previous owners.
Quiet, secluded, sparsely populated, spacious...
This place met all of Song Jixing's requirements.
As for the few high-rise buildings in the small district next to the hillside, it wouldn’t be a problem as long as she set up an illusion array to isolate external prying.
However, these buildings were still a bit too old, she would need to get people to come and renovate them. Even the cement road next to them had some cracks that needed fixing.
Compared to renting the houses, the cost of refurbishing them wouldn’t be low either. Therefore, whether they could rent long-term was crucial.
As for why she didn't consider buying, Song Jixing didn't even think about it, she just felt that she couldn't afford it.
When Song Jixing brought up these concerns with the agent, the agent addressed them directly.
Agent: “Which yard would you like to rent? Let me know when you’ve decided. As for long term rental, you don’t need to worry. This area used to belong to the government. The original steel factory was also state-owned. But in recent years, they privatized it and the property rights were distributed. ”
"The Y City government's development focus is no longer here in recent years. They want to sell this area as a whole. So these houses have just been left vacant. If you are sincerely looking to rent, I can confirm that at least in the next five years, this land will not be sold..."
Seeing the bright and sincere eyes of the agent girl in front of her, Song Jixing nodded slightly, and was about to say something when she was startled by the sudden burning sensation in her palm.
Why was it so hot?
Song Jixing took a look at her red palm, then quickly signaled to Feng Juechen.
Feng Jue Chen understood what his senior sister meant. He quickly led the agent girl to walk further away.
Suddenly, a violent wind blew, causing layers of ripples on the lake surface...
The agent girl's hair was blown into disarray by the sudden gust of wind.
In broad daylight, with open visibility,
a white-haired old man wearing tattered gray robes and wielding a long sword appeared aggressively in front of Song Jixing.
He looked guardedly at the two for a moment, then sized up the surroundings, before asking in puzzlement: "What kind of illusion is this?"
