There was no fourth choice.

With so many benefits placed before them, anyone who came would know how to choose.

Moreover, after spending five years together, Wei Fan had a deep understanding of He Song, and He Song naturally had a similarly deep understanding of Wei Fan.

That was why one could invite while the other could agree.

Wei Fan knew He Song’s situation and was eager to give him a hand.

He Song knew Wei Fan’s character, and living together wouldn’t be a problem.

Such mutual trust could not have been achieved without the five years of being together; even the thought of it would have been impossible.

If another Qi-refining late-stage cultivator had invited He Song, with his cautiousness, he might have thought that the other person was trying to harm him and take his wealth.

Let alone actually agreeing.

It was because of Wei Fan, having been together for so long, that He Song agreed after careful consideration.

“In that case, Mr. He, please go pack your things first. I will wait for you here, and when the time comes, we can go home together.” Seeing He Song agree, Wei Fan’s expression brightened, and he urged without hesitation.

For cultivators like Wei Fan, who had reached the Qi-refining late stage and only needed to slowly accumulate spirit power to cultivate all the way to Qi Refining Perfection, the daily boredom and tedium were the hardest to endure.

Now that He Song had agreed to live with him…

Did that mean that his future life would not be as dull as it is now?

On ordinary days, he could chat and drink tea with friends, talk about everything, and have friends to accompany him when he felt bored.

Wei Fan felt that just thinking about this was much more interesting than his current life.

That was also the reason why Wei Fan openly declared his love for making friends when he first met He Song.

Before breaking through to the Qi-refining late stage, his main focus was on overcoming the bottleneck.

However, after successfully breaking through to the Qi-refining late stage and feeling the boredom and tedium of daily silent cultivation, he became more interested in making friends.

Having very few friends in his day-to-day life, the dullness could even break a person’s spirit.

However.

Just as Wei Fan was urging happily…

He Song suddenly became more alert when he looked at Wei Fan.

This Wei Fan seemed to have shown no interest in women in the five years they’d known each other.

He just agreed to live with him, and Wei Fan got so excited…

Could it be…

After a slight hesitation, He Song finally discarded the terrible thought in his mind.

In the past five years, he, too, hadn’t shown any interest in women. Perhaps he was just overthinking.

With that thought, the alertness in He Song’s eyes quickly faded, and then he went to take his leave.

Leaving Spirit Construction Pavilion,

He Song first returned to his home and packed up all his belongings.

He wanted to say goodbye to Lin Cong, his neighbor, but after thinking about it, he dispelled the idea.

He was just going to Wei Fan’s home to seek refuge. Although his room would be vacated, with Wei Fan, the steward of the Spirit Construction Pavilion, his room would still be reserved for him.

The rental rooms in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion were not always fully occupied every month.

Keeping a room for someone like He Song was actually a small matter for Wei Fan.

After some time, once the danger was over, He Song would return here to continue living.

Rather than saying goodbye, it’d be better to stay at Wei Fan’s place for a while and then use the Sound Transmission Skill to inform Lin Cong of the situation.action

That way, Lin Cong could also be alert and not be caught off guard if an Evil Cultivator attacked.

Making a decision, He Song pondered for a moment, then quickly decided to give Wei Fan the rent money he’d saved during his time taking refuge.

Wei Fan helped him through this crisis, which was already a huge favor.

If he didn’t pay some rent, He Song would feel bad about it.

Although the rent he was giving wasn’t much, it was a gesture of goodwill, and he couldn’t stay with Wei Fan so comfortably without contributing.

With this in mind,

He Song quickly returned to Spirit Construction Pavilion with his belongings.

Upon seeing He Song come back with his luggage, Wei Fan promptly led him to where he lived.

The living conditions of a Qi-refining late-stage cultivator were far better than those of a Qi-refining early-stage cultivator like He Song.

Wei Fan lived in a small courtyard.

In the courtyard, there were artificial mountains and flowing water, as well as a two-story building.

The building had a master bedroom, two secondary bedrooms, a servant’s room, a total of four rooms for living.

In addition, there was also a living room, two cultivation quiet rooms, a study room, a kitchen, and a training room.

So many rooms made He Song dizzy, and he couldn’t help but think it was extravagant.

Also, the spirit Qi concentration here was much higher than where He Song lived, which meant a faster cultivation speed.

You see,

He Song’s previous room, which cost ten spirit stones a month, only had one bedroom and an attached cultivation quiet room.

Nothing else.

And for that, he had to pay ten spirit stones in rent every month.

But now?

Looking at the scale of the rooms and the spirit Qi concentration in Wei Fan’s courtyard, He Song couldn’t imagine how much this small courtyard would cost in monthly rent.

“Wei, how much is the monthly rent here?” He asked when he couldn’t figure it out. Facing his friend, He Song never felt embarrassed.

“The market price is fifty spirit stones a month, five hundred spirit stones a year, but I don’t need spirit stones to live here. After reaching the Qi-refining late stage, the Immortal Pavilion will arrange a free courtyard for any internal cultivators.” Wei Fan answered without much thought, revealing information He Song had not known before.

Such information was just common knowledge to Wei Fan, who was already in the Qi-refining late stage.

But for He Song at this moment, it surprised him a bit.

You see,

Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion wasn’t a charity.

This could be seen from his monthly rent of ten spirit stones.

For Qi-refining early-stage cultivators in the Immortal Pavilion, after deducting120 spirit stones as annual rent, they only had 20 or 30 spirit stones to spend freely each year.

To treat the Qi-refining early-stage cultivators like laborers was almost unfair.

However, once a cultivator reached the Qi-refining late stage, they’d be given a free courtyard, which puzzled He Song as he thought about the way this all operated.

It seemed like they didn’t treat the lowest-level Qi-refining early-stage cultivators as humans.

“Don’t be surprised. The rules of the Immortal Pavilion are like this: late-stage Qi-refining cultivators live here all year round, making the Immortal Pavilion safer, so naturally, they need better treatment.”

“But for early-stage Qi-refining cultivators… it’s already good to be able to enter the Immortal Pavilion. At least it’s much safer than the outside world. Within the Immortal Pavilion, they can safely spend the most vulnerable time of a cultivator.”

“Loose cultivators cannot enter the Immortal Pavilion, and the number of them killed every year is countless. Compared to them, it’s already lucky to be able to enter the Immortal Pavilion.”

“Besides, if your cultivation reaches the Qi-refining mid-stage, your treatment within the Immortal Pavilion will also improve. You’ll know when the time comes, so don’t be surprised.”

While showing He Song around the environment, Wei Fan also told him some stories about the internal situation of the Immortal Pavilion.
