Chapter 127: Creating a Small World

In the end, Hu Jiujiu still spent 300 spirit stones to buy this courtyard. She even used Li Yuanqing’s name to buy it because Li Yuanqing was willing. He wanted the house, especially when he walked into it and saw the pomegranate tree that took up half the yard.

The long-lost voice sounded.

[Do you want to sign in under the pomegranate tree outside the city of the Catacombs?]

This voice was like the sound of heavens. It had to be known that when Li Yuanqing entered the catacombs, he wanted to find more places to sign in. However, after entering the catacombs, he was surprised to discover that the strength of human martial artists was restricted.

There were very few chances for him to sign in. He had only signed in when he first entered. Then, there were especially few chances to sign in.

Although there were few opportunities to sign in in the Catacombs, the good thing was that the things he obtained were especially precious. This was why Li Yuanqing had the patience to wait slowly, even if his strength had been suppressed in the Catacombs and he had not advanced.

He did not completely give up on running around and getting another chance to sign in.

Finally, the system was activated again. This made Li Yuanqing almost cry. Therefore, no matter how much this courtyard cost, he would find a way to buy it for 30,000 spirit stones, let alone 300!

“Miss, if you have to buy it, you have to write a note for me and write it down clearly. You know about the situation of the dead tenants in this courtyard. Furthermore, you have to write it down clearly and say that you don’t blame us. Or, you can stay in the courtyard next door and I’ll give you a month’s free of charge. You can just stay in the inner city after a month…”

In the end, the broker was about to cry. He told Hu Jiu all the ways he could think of to shirk responsibility. He didn’t even charge Hu Jiujiu a month’s rent for the courtyard next door. He only received 300 spirit stones.

He just hoped that when something happened to Hu Jiujiu in the future, his family would not vent their anger on them and let him die with a corpse.

“Alright, don’t worry. I’ll write this house in his name. My family won’t find out. Besides, how can I die? Just keep your worries to yourself…”

Hu Jiujiu was quite happy that the courtyard next door was also free for them to stay for a month. Three hundred spirit stones was enough to solve the housing problem. There was also such a spacious place and a courtyard with three entrances and exits. How good was that!

After sending the broker away, Hu Jiujiu blew a gust of wind in the courtyard, making the entire courtyard become clean. Meanwhile, Li Yuanqing was immersed in what reward he should choose after signing in successfully.

[One: 100 middle-grade spirit stones!]

[Two: Aura Divination Art!]

Middle-grade spirit stones?

The system actually rewarded him with medium-grade spirit stones. It had to be known that Li Yuanqing had used low-grade spirit stones to buy the house today. A hundred low-grade spirit stones could only be exchanged for one medium-grade spirit stone.

A hundred middle-grade spirit stones were directly rewarded here, which was equivalent to ten thousand low-grade spirit stones. The purchasing power was quite strong.

As expected of a hundredfold reward, But Li Yuanqing still chose the Aura Divination Art.

He wanted to figure out why the strength of human martial artists would be suppressed after entering the catacombs. Other than being able to see through people’s cultivation with the Aura Divination Art, he could also see the various colors of providence on demons or humans. He could also deduce the various luck of humans and demons based on the Aura Divination Art.

It seemed to be useful for Li Yuanqing who had just arrived in town. Therefore, he immediately exchanged for the Aura Divination Art. As long as he had a voice transmission device, he would be able to obtain a lot of spirit stones. He would not lack spirit stones, so the Aura Divination Art was what he needed the most.

As expected, Li Yuanqing, who had obtained the Aura Divination Art, was not thinking about anything at this moment. He was focused on cultivating behind closed doors. Hu Jiujiu quickly took a look. What else did they lack after moving to their new home?

The new house was very spacious. It had three entrances and three exits. There were two large courtyards in the middle, a front yard and a backyard. A huge pomegranate tree was planted in the front courtyard. The pomegranate flowers were in full bloom. There were tens of thousands of pomegranate flowers on the huge tree. It was very beautiful.

In the backyard, there was a small bridge, flowing water, and a rockery. There were all kinds of flowers and trees planted inside. At this moment, these flowers and trees were blooming.

Hu Jiujiu quickly got someone to send some wooden furniture over to make the entire house look brand new regarding the lack of some furniture in the room. They did not spend much spirit stones in total and happily moved in.

It was rare to live in such a spacious place after walking so far east in the Wastelands of the Catacombs.

The house next door was also rented to them for free. Hu Jiujiu walked around inside but did not stay long. Instead, she went straight to the kitchen and made some delicious food for Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing’s door was tightly shut. When he opened it again, he was already familiar with the Aura Divination Art.

At this moment, his new house was already decorated. He walked to the courtyard and looked at the city in the distance. He saw rolling demonic qi in the city, and there was a hint of golden color in the demonic qi.

There should be Greater Demons guarding it.

Then, he took a look at his surroundings. In the town not far from here, there was a mixture of black and white energy. One look and he could tell that it was the luck of some humans.

Li Yuanqing looked at the house again and his gaze landed on the fiery red pomegranate tree.

There seemed to be some black aura on the red pomegranate tree. It was very similar to the black aura at the market. It looked like the aura of death. No wonder the owner of this place could die in vain. Anyone would not be able to withstand such a dense death aura after being infected for a long time. But where did this death energy come from?

Li Yuanqing was in a daze when he saw Hu Jiujiu serving some tea with a smile.

“Master, this market outside the city is really an interesting place. I actually found some spiritual tea here. This thing is rare. It’s naturally a good thing to sit under this pomegranate tree and drink tea!”

Hu Jiujiu placed the spiritual tea in her hand on the stone table and the master and servant sat down. The loyal Man-eating Vine also crawled out. It did not seem out of place to take root under the pomegranate tree.

Many of the flying ants came out as well. They quietly treated this courtyard as their home. Some hid under the stone table, some hid by the door, and some simply crawled under the pomegranate tree.

However, the flying ants were not small anymore. Unless they dug up the soil and buried themselves, they would not be able to hide anymore.

Since Li Yuanqing wanted to stay here, for safety’s sake, these flying ants dug holes with all their might and quickly dug up the courtyard. Thousands of flying ants dug their homes into the courtyard.

Not only was the spiritual tea refreshing, but there was also a very faint spiritual energy that slowly entered Li Yuanqing’s body. This made him a little happy. This spiritual tea was not bad. He could get more of it in the future.

In fact, if he saw a spiritual tea tree, he could even find a way to get it back and plant it in his domain.

Hu Jiujiu sat down and made tea for him when she saw that Li Yuanqing was in a good mood.

The two of them were very talkative.

“Master, I’ve never understood why you came to the Catacombs. You’re already a Human God in the Northern Kingdom. Why did you come to the Catacombs?” Hu Jiujiu asked something that she had never understood.

Back then, her master had supported the Northern Kingdom in the human world and had become the Northern Kingdom’s greatest backer. From the looks of it, the Northern Kingdom had already annexed the Yufu Kingdom and would very likely become as powerful as the Myriad City Kingdom in the future.

The spiritual energy in the human world had also begun to recover. This was really the best chance. Why did Master come to the Catacombs?

Li Yuanqing did not say anything as he drank his tea. Actually, when he first came to the Catacombs, it was not because he was hot-headed. It was because he vaguely knew that the Catacombs led to a small world. There were actually many small worlds in this human world.

Every small world was different. Moreover, he was homesick. He felt that the home on Earth in his previous life was very precious now that he had lost it.

“Would you believe me if I said I was homesick? I’m trying to find my way home! So I’ll look everywhere…”

Li Yuanqing did not know where the world of his previous life was or whether it was in a small world. He only wanted to search for it. After coming to this world, he had been trembling in fear. When he had a little confidence in the end, he would start to miss home crazily. Sometimes, he would even dream about his phone, computer, movies, and even milk tea in his previous life.

That kind of longing made him unable to control himself.

Therefore, after knowing that the catacombs might lead to other small worlds, Li Yuanqing’s mind buzzed. So he came to the catacombs without any hesitation.

Meanwhile, his realm was suppressed in the catacombs, and countless mutated beasts were chasing after him. Although he had suffered a lot, Li Yuanqing did not regret it at all. It was just that he had never mentioned this goal to anyone.

So much so that Hu Jiujiu, who had been following him, could not help but ask why did Li Yuanqing come to the catacombs.

“I miss home. I miss home too. I truly miss home. By the way, Master, can you find your way home?” Hu Jiujiu’s eyes turned red at the mention of home. Actually, she missed home too. Her home was tens of thousands of miles away from here, and she didn’t know if she would have the chance to go home in this life. When her mount, the Qilin Beast, left back then, it should have returned home.

“It’s too far to go home. I don’t know where. I might not be able to find my way home. I might never be able to go home. If I really can’t go home, I’ll build a home, a small world. A small world like my home…” Li Yuanqing was a little sad to hear Hu Jiujiu ask this question. So Li Yuanqing said stubbornly.

If he couldn’t find a home, he would build a small world, his home.

It was just like the domain he had now. Although it was not particularly large at the moment, there were already more than ten species inside. The plants were also slowly increasing and the area was also expanding.

Perhaps many years later, he would be able to create a small world and a home.

“I see. No wonder Master threw many things into the domain…”

At this moment, Hu Jiujiu seemed to have come to a realization. No wonder her master was so strange.

Whether it was the black-and-white bears, the werewolves, the wild boars, the lizards, or even some stones in the Wasteland or some plants in the Wasteland, he threw them into the domain as if he was picking up a treasure.

Hu Jiujiu could not stand it anymore, but she did not dare to say anything. She always felt that the things that her master treated as treasures were actually worthless. He even got so many species. She could understand why he put in the black-and-white bears and werewolves, but she couldn’t understand why he would put in the giant lizards.

She thought that the giant lizards were the natural enemy of the flying ants. How could he find an enemy for his pet and raise them carefully?

Hu Jiujiu finally understood after she heard Li Yuanqing’s words. It turned out that her master had such generosity. If he couldn’t find his way back home, he would build a small world and a home.

Hu Jiujiu was fascinated by the thought of creating a small world.

How vast was a small world?

Endless.

How strong must one be to be able to support such a powerful domain?

A Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator above the ninth stage of the Grotto-Heaven Realm? No, a Formation Arrangement Realm cultivator above the ninth stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm?

Hu Jiujiu did not even dare to think about it. Master’s target was too big.

“Haha, in the future, when I go to the market, I can throw anything I like. However, I have to find the exit to the other small worlds in the catacombs. Then, I’ll find time to take a look and see if it’s the world I’m looking for. Also, I have to figure out why my strength hasn’t increased in the catacombs…”

Li Yuanqing recalled that he had always been at the first-stage Grotto-Heaven Realm since he came to the Catacombs. He had been stuck in this realm for more than a year. How melancholic!

If he wanted to break through, he had to think of a way to find a place where he could continuously sign in and find a way to expand the range of his domain.

It was the right choice to come outside the city this time. He actually managed to sign in under the pomegranate tree. Should he study this pomegranate tree carefully and see if there was anything special about it? Next time, he would find another place to sign in according to the characteristics of this pomegranate tree.

Li Yuanqing thought about this in his heart. As he drank his tea, his gaze landed on the pomegranate tree. He only saw the bright red pomegranate flowers, but there was a black aura circulating between the pomegranate flowers.

Although there was not a lot of black aura, it spread out with the pomegranate tree as the center. If not for Li Yuanqing’s Aura Divination Art, he would not have discovered this scene. He could only see the red pomegranate flowers in the courtyard like the broker who sold the house. He could not see the black death aura at all.

Thinking about it, most of the twenty or so people who died in this house were probably affected by this death aura, which was why they died accidentally.

However, the courtyards on both sides were not far away. Why was it that only the courtyard where they lived was surrounded by a death aura? However, there was no such abnormality next door. Moreover, even if there was a death aura, it would occasionally drift over and also become very thin.

It should not be enough to affect the owner of the house.

Li Yuanqing stopped drinking his tea and kept staring at the pomegranate tree. He kept circling around and looking at the courtyard, wondering where this death aura came from.

A flying ant was drilling a hole under the pomegranate tree. Just as it pierced a hole, it saw an inconspicuous aura of death emerging from the ground, immediately attracting Li Yuanqing’s attention.
