Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 108 - 35: The Mansion, Owning My Own Home!

Chapter 108 -35: The Mansion, Owning My Own Home!

In the Martial Arts Hall.

Cheng Ran finished introducing two residential properties and then asked, “Brother Jiang, do you have any thoughts on these two residences?”

Jiang Ning replied, “Brother Cheng, take me to see the residence worth one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight silver taels! I’m quite interested in that one.”

Hearing this, Cheng Ran couldn’t help but be surprised.

Jiang Ning actually chose to look at this residence?

Could this mean that he could afford it?

...

That’s impossible, isn’t it?

My family can’t produce that much silver all at once; how could Jiang Ning possibly come up with it?

Could it be that the rumor I heard the other day is true?

These thoughts rapidly flashed through Cheng Ran’s mind.

Then Cheng Ran said, “Then follow me, Brother Jiang, I’ll have an attendant contact the owner of that residence right away.”

“Thank you, Brother Cheng!” Jiang Ning expressed his gratitude.

Cheng Ran smiled and said, “You and I are friends, and it’s quite normal for friends to help each other out; there’s no need to be so formal.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ning also showed a smile on his face.

“Since we are friends, then in the future, Brother Cheng, don’t call me ‘Brother’ anymore! The Martial Arts Hall isn’t a Sect; there’s no need for such formality.”

“Alright! I will follow what Brother Jiang says!” Cheng Ran then changed his way of addressing.

Subsequently.

The two walked together towards the outside of the Martial Arts Hall.

Along the way, Jiang Ning was secretly activating the Qi-Blood within his body, and his flushed skin gradually returned to normal.

…

Thirty minutes later.

The two appeared in front of a large mansion adjacent to the Luoshui River.

At this time, a middle-aged woman with some wrinkles around her eyes was already waiting there.

“Aunt Tong!” Cheng Ran immediately greeted the middle-aged woman upon seeing her.

Then Cheng Ran introduced her to Jiang Ning, “This is the owner of this mansion, and she is also the Store Manager of the Moon Pavilion.”

Hearing Cheng Ran’s introduction, a trace of mild surprise flashed in Jiang Ning’s eyes.

He naturally knew about the Moon Pavilion.

It was one of the most famous restaurants in Luoshui County where numerous officials and dignitaries often entertained guests, and the business was booming.

He had not realized before that the Store Manager of the Moon Pavilion was a woman, and a middle-aged woman at that.

One must know, in this era, such a profitable business would inevitably attract the attention of those with intentions.

Without significant strength, it was impossible to hold onto an enterprise like the Moon Pavilion.

Thinking this, Jiang Ning immediately knew that Manager Tong in front of him was no ordinary person.

“Manager Tong!” Jiang Ning bowed his hands.

The middle-aged woman gently smiled, “Young Master Jiang is very polite! It’s true what they say, seeing is believing; you are indeed a person of striking appearance.”

Then Manager Tong looked at Cheng Ran and said, “You’ve brought me a good client!”

With that, Manager Tong casually pushed open the heavy main gate.

“Young Master Jiang, please come in for a visit!”

“Please!” said Jiang Ning.

Then the three of them stepped into the courtyard.

From the entrance, it was a series of steps upward.

On both sides of the front courtyard, there were rockeries, flowing streams, and bamboo groves.

The sounds of the trickling water and the rustling of the bamboo filled his ears.

The sound of the waves on the Luoshui River could also be heard in the distance.

As they delved deeper into the residence, Manager Tong explained, “This mansion is situated very high, and the entrance moves from lower to higher.”

“The highest part of the house is in the east courtyard, backing onto the Luoshui River, with an extremely open view, allowing one to see the entire boundless Luoshui River, and also the staggered houses of the Outer City of varying heights.”

“The entire mansion’s structure consists of the front yard and the main house, as well as three large courtyards in the east, west, and north, enough to accommodate four generations living together.”

…

Two hours later.

The three stood at the highest point of the east courtyard, enjoying the wind coming from the Luoshui River.

Manager Tong gently smiled, “Young Master Jiang, what do you think of this mansion, does it meet your standards?”

Jiang Ning replied, “I’m interested, but could we possibly discuss the price a bit more.”

Hearing this, Manager Tong gently smiled again.

“Since Young Master Jiang has spoken, of course, the price can be discussed further. How would you like to proceed?” Manager Tong asked back.

Jiang Ning said, “Manager Tong, give me a sincere price, and I’ll take it!”

Manager Tong pondered for a moment.

Then she said, “How about six hundred and sixty-six taels?”

On the side.

Cheng Ran, hearing this, was immediately shocked and said, “Aunt Tong, are you sure? Six hundred and sixty-six taels? You’re not joking with my good brother, are you?”

Manager Tong looked at Jiang Ning’s puzzled eyes, her lips curling into a smile.

“I wouldn’t dare joke with Young Master Jiang. This is genuinely a sincere price. How does Young Master Jiang feel about it?”

“Why?” Jiang Ning asked.

Manager Tong, still smiling, replied, “I see a promising future for Young Master Jiang and want to make a friend! Six hundred and sixty-six is a very auspicious number! It’s also my blessing to Young Master Jiang.”

Hearing this, Cheng Ran nudged Jiang Ning with his arm.

Jiang Ning then slowly said, “With Manager Tong giving me such respect, how could I not agree?”

Hearing this, Manager Tong’s smile grew even broader.

…

In the evening, Jiang Ning, holding the deed, returned to the highest point of the east courtyard, feeling the lake breeze from the Luoshui River, looking down at the mansion that spanned more than three thousand square meters beneath his feet, his expression somewhat dreamy.

In his previous life.

He had spent years, emptied the savings of two generations and taken on decades of debt, just to obtain a home of his own, his own little den.

But now.

In just a few months after arriving in this world, he owned such a vast and luxurious residence.

Such luxury, in his former life, he had not even dreamed of.

After several breaths, he looked down at the deed in his hands again.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, he took a deep breath.

He slowly exhaled.

“In this life, I fulfilled the dream of owning a luxurious villa, so let me witness a different future!”

He murmured to himself, and it seemed as if a shackle had been unlocked in his heart.

His soul relaxed!

His heart became extremely comfortable and pleasant.

That night.

Jiang Ning decided to live alone in this house.

During the handover of the house, Manager Tong from Moon Pavilion did an authentic job, leaving the furniture all in place.

Even some valuable decorations were left in the house.

Jiang Ning also realized Manager Tong’s gestures of goodwill towards him.

Seeing her capable and generous conduct, Jiang Ning understood why a woman like her could maintain such a large establishment as Moon Pavilion.

He greatly admired Manager Tong.

She discarded items worth over a thousand Silver Tael with decisive finality, without a hint of hesitation.

This was not something an ordinary person could do.

The next morning.

Jiang Ning got up and checked his panel.

“Yesterday held many delays, the progress in all areas was a bit slow!”

“But I also accomplished a big thing, finally got a house of my own!”

“Today, I can also bring my older brother and his family to live in the Inner City!”

Jiang Ning murmured lightly, his expression relaxed.

Then.

After a simple washup, Jiang Ning began to practice.

Waited until 20 minutes past 7 a.m., he started facing the great sun and practiced Breathing and Releasing the Essence of the Great Sun, refining his organs.

Right until 9:00 a.m., just before it turned into 9 a.m to 11 a.m, he stopped the practice of releasing the Essence Qi.

[Skills]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Master 414/2000)

“Compared to yesterday, it has increased by 27 points! Not bad!”

Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

Feeling the daily progress and becoming stronger gave him full motivation.

For ordinary people, practicing was boring and tedious.

But for him, it was an extremely interesting affair.

All this was because he could see and feel his progress.

As long as he put in effort, there was reward.

Accumulating a certain amount would inevitably lead to qualitative change.

Especially after each cultivation technique reached a breaking point, he was filled with anticipation, eager to see what traits would emerge as the techniques evolved.

Then.

Jiang Ning got up and walked outside the house.

An hour later.

Jiang Ning came to the outer city, to the familiar courtyard surrounded by a fence.

Pushing open the wooden gate of the courtyard, Jiang Ning saw his older brother’s family all in the yard.

“Little brother, how come you’re here?” Jiang Li heard the gate pushed open, immediately looked up, and upon seeing Jiang Ning, his expression instantly became calm, obviously reassured.

Jiang Ning bent down to pick up Little Dumpling who ran over.

Then he said, “Older brother, sister-in-law, I bought a big house in the Inner City, it’s too lonely living there by myself. I hope you can move and live with me in the Inner City.”

“What did you say?” Jiang Li, upon hearing this, suddenly widened his eyes, disbelievingly staring at Jiang Ning.

Liuu Wanwan also had her mouth slightly open, showing a look of surprise.

“Dumpling, Dumpling! Are you serious? Is there really a big house?” Little Dumpling in Jiang Ning’s arms, his dark eyes became bright, his face full of joy.

Jiang Ning grinned and gently rubbed Little Dumpling’s tiny nose.

“Of course it’s true!”

Then he carried Little Dumpling over to his older brother and sister-in-law.

“Here, take a look!”

During the conversation, Jiang Ning placed the property deed, which he had prepared beforehand, in Jiang Li’s hands.

He knew that without the deed, much persuasion would be needed.

After all, moving to live in the Inner City had been his older brother and sister-in-law’s dream for more than a dozen years.

Unfortunately, they never achieved it due to lack of financial means.

In the Inner City, despite Cheng Ran saying that the first residential plot that was one acre large only cost around six hundred Silver Tael, one might think a house of a few dozen square meters would cost a few dozen Silver Tael.

This was completely wrong.

Because there were no houses for common people in the Inner City.

Even the smallest residential houses were close to half an acre and would cost nearly four hundred Silver Tael.

For the previous Jiang Li, even working a lifetime, he couldn’t save that much silver.

Moving to the Inner City was merely a hopeful desire he harbored, unattainable yet longed for.
