Chapter 14 - Guiyuan star city...

After paying the fee they all stood on the platform, while standing there Gu yin was looking at the lines curved on the ground with great interest.

She seem to have find an interesting thing to study, while she was studying the platform, one of the guard take out a small baby fist size stone with green veins and place on the stand that was standing in the corner.

As soon as the stone was placed the whole platform lit up in dazzling white light forcing people to shield their eyes from the light.

When they open their eyes they found themselves alone surrounded by white light and golden ball, everything looks beautiful.

It's only took few minutes before the light vanish and they found themselves standing on the familiar looking teleportation array formation, which made many doubt of reaching there destination.

But only when they saw the person receiving them look different and wearing different clothes, not only that the sky already had darken outside.

While they actually got on the platform first thing in the morning so the fact it took them whole day to reach another domian is quite fascinating.

When Gu ya in excitement ask the guard how much time it will take one to reach from there domian to this place without using teleportation array, he replied "more then a year, if you survive"

So, reaching here in just a day is quite surprising for them but for the Gu couple who had to pay money to the guard only to realise they are short on money, it was not very thrilling.

Apparently it will cost sixty-eight teal of silver to pay for everyone including the two horses, when the old man Gu was frowning.

Wang zhiyuan stood up and give the hundred teal of silver as the remaining payment infront of the smug fifth son, he also give extra twenty teal as graduate.

Gu Wulang "I told you, he will be of great help" with satisfied smile he back out before he can receive his father cane.

Old Gu payed the money for the whole family and leaved the hall, once they were outside of the hall everyone were amused with the prosperity and the street filled with people and low rank cultivators strolling around.

Right now they are in the guiyuan star city, of the celestial Axis Domian, a place where people usually come from the All-Dao Heaven sect, this city is divided into three rings.

The center ring where elders of the sect and their family live this place is the most prosperous among all of the city.

Then the mid ring which consist of the inner sect disciple living here, once they had a certain age without any progress in cultivation they had to leave the sect.

The outer ring consist of the mortal this place had the most market since, farmers, potters, carpenters, restaurants and inns are suitated along with the black market here.

Since, cultivator after reaching a certain rank don't need to eat there are not many restaurants in center or middle rings and the mortal ring also allow people to settle in easily then other two rings which need certain requirements to reach.

Mortal ring is the main place where all of the people can stay till the sect entrance test, these rings are further divided into district.

Like their are ten district and four main markets, simply known as west market, east market, south market and north market.

Not only Mortal but low rank cultivators, rogue cultivator thrive here, after asking around they finally found outer ring management office.

This place help one to settle down by checking all of their documents and they will also explain all of the rules here, they are also the one filing complaint about theft and stuff's, but according to the worker such crimes doesn't happen here.

After talking to the worker who after hearing that they are farmer recommend district 7 where all of the farmers live.

Each district have their own head to manage the problem in the district without disturbing other unless it's murder.... Or arson.... Or rape.... Or homicide....or robbery.

When the worker ask if they want to rent the land or buy to continue farming old Gu first ask about the land price.

"Well it's cost one teal of silver per month for rent and five teal of silver per mu of fertile land, three teal of silver for paddy field per mu and two teal of silver for wasteland"

Old Gu breath hiss after hearing about the price and the fact they only had sixty-nine teal of silver left, plus the twenty extra given by Wang zhiyuan they maybe hold on.

"I will buy ten mu of fertile field, five mu of paddy field and ten mu of wasteland" the worker blink his eyes in surprise while checking the men attire.

But he look travel worn man with dusty clothes and tired look on his face, the worker nodded his head with happy expression.

Not many people who came here buy so much land in one go, he's surely going to have some good bonus today.

"Ten mu of fertile field is fifty teal, five mu of paddy field is fifteen teal and ten mu of wasteland is twenty teal, which make the total of 85 teal teal of silver"

Hearing the total old Gu grit his teeth as after paying this this they will be only left with three teal of silver from what Wang zhiyuan had given them.

Plus the two teal of silver they had kept as emergency payment, along with remaining of seventeen teal left of selling their land back home.

After checking all of the three land with his son thoroughly did he paid the money and got the land deed in his trembling hand, now he only left with twenty two teal of silver.

The matter of buying the house had to be put on hold as it will take time and lot of money, right now which they lack.

After talking with the district head they manage to rent a house big enough for everyone to settle down and a shed for the horses which cost half teal of silver per month, couple with food expenses, household stuff and furniture will cost a alot of money.

Well the expenses for farming tools and kitchen utensils were safes since the family didn't sell there old one and bring them here.

But the Gu family surely had to live for couple of months with there belt tight, if they don't want to starve to death.
