**Chapter 109: Moving**

No one wants to suddenly be scanned by someone else's spiritual sense.

If such a thing happens, unless there's a significant gap in cultivation, it usually leads to a fight to the death.

As a Foundation Establishment True Person of the Earth Sect, True Person Bear Mountain naturally understood this.

Therefore, he wouldn't casually use his spiritual sense to investigate things for no reason.

This meant that even if He Song chose a courtyard closer to True Person Bear Mountain, he wouldn't have to worry about his secrets being discovered.

However, to be cautious and prepared for any unforeseen circumstances, He Song still chose a courtyard outside the range of True Person Bear Mountain's spiritual sense.

Only in this way could He Song ensure that, even in the worst-case scenario, his secrets wouldn't be exposed.

Being naturally cautious, He Song naturally made the choice that best suited him.

"I'll choose this one. Although it's on the outskirts, I prefer quiet places. This secluded courtyard suits me well."

Pointing to the courtyard he had chosen, He Song spoke while his gaze shifted to the token in his hand.

"As for the token… how about I join the Spirit Construction Pavilion and keep Brother Wei company?"

After informing Wei Fan of his choice, He Song casually stored the token and then looked at Wei Fan.

Wei Fan's previously furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Are you sure you don't want to reconsider? The closer you are to the center, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy. That place is quiet, but the spiritual energy concentration is a bit lower than in the center."

Although He Song had already said he preferred quiet and had chosen the secluded courtyard for that reason, Wei Fan still couldn't help but try to persuade him.

The concentration of spiritual energy was of utmost importance to cultivators.

In Wei Fan's eyes, He Song's reason for choosing the secluded courtyard wasn't a big deal.

Preferring quiet?

Just pick a few neighbors who wouldn't make noise.

With Wei Fan's position as a steward in the Spirit Construction Pavilion, He Song could choose any courtyard on the map.

Unfortunately, Wei Fan didn't know that He Song's preference for quiet was just an excuse.

The real reason was something He Song couldn't explain.

"No, no, I've made my choice. I'll go back and pack my things, then move to that courtyard. Please record it for me, Brother Wei."

Waving his hand to refuse, He Song quickly changed the topic, fearing that Wei Fan would continue to persuade him.

"As for my steward position, I'll take it in the Spirit Construction Pavilion. With Brother Wei here, I won't have to worry about losing my position if I'm busy with other matters."

Seeing He Song's firm attitude and his quick change of topic, Wei Fan understood that He Song had made up his mind.

Reluctantly, he nodded and stopped trying to persuade him.

"Alright, I'll report this to the True Person today.

You can arrange the token and courtyard yourself. Starting tomorrow, you'll be a steward in the Spirit Construction Pavilion."

After settling He Song's courtyard and position, the two soon parted ways.

Wei Fan needed to report the matter to True Person Bear Mountain.

The appearance of another late-stage Qi Refining cultivator in Bamboo Mountain Immortal City, especially one who had grown up in the immortal city, naturally required some arrangements.

The courtyard and position needed the True Person's approval.

However, since it was a cultivator from the immortal city who had broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, True Person Bear Mountain would likely just glance at the report and nod.

The matter would then be settled.

Cultivators from the immortal city were treated quite well within their own immortal city.

However, if a rogue late-stage Qi Refining cultivator wanted to join the immortal city and become a steward, it wouldn't be so easy.

After parting ways with Wei Fan, He Song quickly returned to his home on the outskirts and packed all his belongings into his small cargo storage bag.

At this point, He Song still only had two storage bags.

One small storage bag, with enough space for daily necessities.

One small cargo storage bag, which contained sixty-six thousand pounds of spirit rice and some other miscellaneous items.

Fortunately, the small cargo storage bag had enough space to fit all the items He Song needed to take from his room, even with the spirit rice inside.

However, the small cargo storage bag wasn't convenient to carry around.

After some thought, He Song decided that after his next sale of spirit rice, he would definitely buy a large storage bag that could be carried on his person.

This way, he wouldn't have to carry the inconvenient small cargo storage bag around anymore.

As for now, the spirit stones he had were still needed for other purposes. Buying a large storage bag that could be carried on his person wasn't feasible at the moment.

The large storage bag would cost a thousand spirit stones.

If He Song bought it, he wouldn't have enough spirit stones left to replace his mid-grade magical tools.

For the sake of his safety, he decided to continue carrying the small cargo storage bag for now.

He could replace it after his next sale of spirit rice.

Soon, after some searching, He Song arrived at his new residence.

The location was within the inner circle of the immortal city but on the outskirts, over three miles away from where True Person Bear Mountain resided.

It bordered the outer area of the immortal city, separated only by a barrier.

The spiritual energy here was more concentrated, and the environment was much better.

The courtyard was surrounded by trees, hidden behind a grove, making it quite secluded.

Additionally, the nearest courtyard was over a hundred meters away, ensuring peace and quiet.

As He Song scanned the trees surrounding the courtyard, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Indeed, it was exactly as he had seen on the map in the Spirit Construction Pavilion.

This kind of secluded courtyard, hidden among trees, would have been called a villa in his previous life.

Moreover, when He Song stepped into the courtyard, his eyes lit up.

Inside the courtyard, there was a rock garden with a small stream and a small plot of cultivated land.

There was also a two-story house.

The two-story house wasn't unfamiliar to He Song, as he had stayed in Wei Fan's home for a while.

However, he wasn't sure if the layout of this house would be the same as Wei Fan's.

Entering the house, He Song quickly explored the entire two-story building.

The house had one master bedroom, two secondary bedrooms, and one servant's bedroom, totaling four livable rooms.

Additionally, there was a reception room, two cultivation chambers, a study, a kitchen, and a training room.

After exploring, He Song shook his head in amusement.

Indeed, he had overestimated the Spirit Construction Pavilion of this world.

The layout of the house in the courtyard he had chosen was almost identical to Wei Fan's.

There were only minor differences in some details, but they didn't affect the livability.

It seemed that all the two-story houses, or perhaps all the courtyards in the inner circle of the immortal city, were essentially the same.

Whether it was the distribution of rooms in the house or the arrangement of the rock garden and stream in the courtyard, everything was nearly identical.
