Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”

Xiaoging understood the situation and calmly said to the two, “Please follow me!”

Xiaoging then led the two into the luxurious housing exchange center.

“Oh? Teacher?”

Su Yuan was stunned. He could run into an acquaintance here?

Su Yuan looked up and saw Zhan Tian following some people in the main hall, watching courtyard images.

“Zhan Tian?” Su Yuan said in surprise.

Beside Zhan Tian stood several Chaos Dominators with extraordinary auras.

Every single one of them exuded immense power, at least being fifty-fifth-order experts, and one had even reached the sixtieth order!

Among them, Zhan Tian was the least conspicuous, barely reaching the fiftieth order.

However, the fact that Zhan Tian could be around these people showed he was on the same level.

One middle-aged-looking man at the fifty-eighth order said, “Zhan Tian, you have a teacher? Why haven’t you mentioned it before? I’m curious. What kind of Great Power could have taught a peerless genius like you?”

Zhan Tian frowned. This statement was clearly directed at him.

Judging by the Old Donkey next to Su Yuan, Su Yuan’s cultivation level wasn’t high. This Ji Qing had a foul mouth.

Zhan Tian said calmly, “My teacher’s Dao name is Seven Stars. He’s not some Great Power, but he helped me immensely. Even if my strength surpasses his, I still respect him. Unlike some people who have already forgotten who their teacher was.”

Ji Qing sneered, “If you haven’t forgotten your teacher, why haven’t you visited him?”

“My teacher was on the Third Frontline before, so I naturally couldn’t visit him!”

Zhan Tian then addressed the man at the sixtieth order, “Captain East, I’ve run into my teacher. May I go speak with him?”

“Your teacher’s Dao name is Seven Stars?” Captain East asked back.

“Yes!” Zhan Tian said.

Ji Qing interjected, “Captain East, you don’t think he’s that Master Seven Stars, do you? Zhan Tian himself said his teacher is on the Third Frontline. How could he be the same person as that mysterious Master Seven Stars in the military camp? It’s just a name coincidence!”

Upon hearing this, Captain East felt he had been overthinking. Duplicate Dao names were very common, and Seven Stars was a very common one too. There were at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand.

Zhan Tian also waved his hand and said, “My teacher’s level isn’t high. He shouldn’t surpass me.”

“Go ahead!” Captain East didn’t say much else.

Zhan Tian nodded and left.

Captain East sent a telepathic message to Ji Qing: “Watch your mouth from now on. Be careful not to offend someone!”

Ji Qing nodded, “Alright, Captain!”

But he wasn’t convinced. Offending Zhan Tian wasn’t a big deal. He could afford it. Wasn’t he also a super genius?

Zhan Tian walked over to Su Yuan and said respectfully, “Master!”

Su Yuan waved his hand, “What are you doing here?”

Zhan Tian said, “My captain wants to change his residence. He’s earned enough contributions and gotten a promotion. We’re here to look at houses now. Teacher, you might not know, but these houses aren’t just places to live. They all have special arrays inside connected to the city’s core, which can transmit enlightenment radiance. The better the house, the more it helps cultivators with their training!”

Su Yuan suddenly understood, “So that’s how it is.”

He looked at Old Donkey.

Old Donkey looked confused, “There’s such a benefit?”

He said shamefully, “It turns out you, friend, have such an outstanding disciple. I’ve been showing off in front of a master!”

Su Yuan shook his head, “Thanks to you, I was able to meet Zhan Tian. Your contribution is significant. Besides, I truly needed to come to a place like this. Your guiding wasn’t wrong at all! This is your payment.”

Su Yuan casually took a flawed Dominator Artifact from his pocket and handed it to Old Donkey.

During the crafting process, accidents could still happen, resulting in defective products. These were only low-grade Dominator Artifacts, so he didn’t feel comfortable selling them.

But when Old Donkey took it, he was stunned. This was clearly a forty-second-order low-grade Chaos Dominator Artifact. It had to be worth two to three thousand Kalpa units, right?

He had been a guide for so long. Once before, he had been generously rewarded by a wealthy client, receiving two to three Kalpa units. Compared to this, it was easy to see that this friend was the real big shot.

He suddenly realized he might have encountered a benefactor.

“Sir, do you still need an errand boy? I know Qingfeng City inside and out. I know every place, big or small. I’m also familiar with people from all walks of life. You might find me useful in the future!”

Old Donkey said eagerly.

Zhan Tian gave Old Donkey a surprised look. Why had this guy suddenly become so enthusiastic? He glanced at the Dominator Artifact in Old Donkey’s hand and felt it looked strangely familiar.

Recently, the military’s Logistics Department had produced a large batch of Dominator Artifacts, all bearing the Star Dust emblem.

The emblem on it was identical to the one on the Dominator Artifact Su Yuan had just given.

But the Dominator Artifact Su Yuan had given him earlier had a different emblem—it looked like seven stars. This one only had a single star.

That was also why Zhan Tian hadn’t connected the two before.

However, this was just Su Yuan being lazy. He felt carving one star was enough and didn’t need to bother with details for mass production.

Su Yuan thought for a moment and said, “You and I seem to have a connection. If you’re willing, you can be my coachman.”

“Alright! Master! From now on, I’m your personal coachman!” Old Donkey said joyfully.

He could sense Zhan Tian’s aura—a fiftieth-order disciple. How could the teacher be weak?

Being a follower would earn him much more than working hard on his own.

The face of a Chaos Dominator didn’t mean much. There were too many Chaos Dominators here. Face was relative. As a strong person’s coachman, he would be in a higher position than an ordinary Chaos Dominator.

Only then did Su Yuan ask Zhan Tian, “Have you looked at the houses? Are there any courtyards that are both spacious and grand, yet private and low-key? I want the highest grade!”

Zhan Tian hesitated, “Those houses require certain specific conditions. Maybe you should lower your standards a bit? Besides, these houses are very expensive!”

He lowered his voice, “Too expensive! I still live in the military camp and can’t afford to buy a house at all!”

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan was amused. Zhan Tian didn’t believe in his strength!

Well then, he definitely had to get a nice house!

“In that case, we’re even more determined to buy a big courtyard. From now on, when you have nothing to do, you can stay at my place! Take me over there!”

Zhan Tian smiled bitterly, “Teacher, you don’t understand.”

But then he glanced at the Dominator Artifact in Old Donkey’s hand, hesitating as if he wanted to say something. He felt it would be impolite to directly ask Su Yuan.

Xiaoging, the female greeter beside them, approached and said, “Honored guest, I can show you the way.”

“Then let’s go!” Su Yuan nodded.

So, the three of them followed Xiaoging to the highest-end sales area of the housing center.
