Capítulo 111: Chapter 3: Senior Chu Staying in the Newcomers Area (Please Subscribe)

Having spent five fist-sized Spirit Stones, Chu Ning finally had his own suite of rooms in the inner city.

Rented.

A ten-year lease.

This was the minimum rental standard for those in the Energy Condensation stage.

No refunds upon lease termination.

The Wenjin Sect would package and sell the rights to these inner city houses somewhat like selling land to real estate companies.

These real estate companies would then build and rent out the houses, naturally seeking profit.

As such, they didn't allow short-term leases, instead employing this long-term rental approach, with longer leases required the closer to the outer edge of the city.

Firstly, there was frequent strife among the lesser cultivators; they might die before long, so the rent became pure profit.

Secondly, if these cultivators' realms improved, necessitating a move to an area with richer Spiritual Energy, the companies still pocketed several years' worth of rent.
