Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 288 - 237: Only I Care the Most About Brother Su Yuan!

Three hours passed in a flash.

The Sword Ship sped across the vast, blue sea, and the full view of Ten Immortals City gradually appeared before Su Yuan and the others.

Though the sea surrounded it, Ten Immortals City was not a seaside city.

Because it was a floating city, suspended three thousand meters above the sea. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

According to the data Su Yuan checked before leaving, Ten Immortals City covers an area of twenty thousand square kilometers and has a permanent population of nearly thirty million.

The flying altitude of the Sword Ship was ten thousand meters. As it approached Ten Immortals City, looking down from above, a city resembling a fallen Ferris wheel appeared before them.

The "Ferris wheel" framework occupies more than sixty percent of Ten Immortals City's area, with the city's main roads extending like a web from the center to ten semi-independent "cabins."

Those ten so-called cabins are the university cities of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

The students had seen Ten Immortals City countless times through their phones, computers, and posters.

But when they saw this beautiful city, resembling an artwork, with their own eyes, they couldn't help but marvel.

Generally, a city should be most prosperous at its center, requiring more development as one approaches the outskirts.

But Ten Immortals City is different; it has ten cores, and the central area of each core is the most developed place.

For instance, around the Wanbao Treasures Tower university city, financial and shopping sect headquarters are clustered.

Also, around the Myriad Beasts Demon Sect university city, there are numerous headquarters of beast taming and breeding sects, as well as top Spirit Beast breeding bases.

The city center cannot be said to be mundane, but it is mainly residential and living areas.

With a driving speed of ten times the speed of sound, Ten Immortals City quickly grew enormous, its edges nowhere in sight, in just a few breaths.

Taibai Phecda found a port near Evil Extermination University City to land the Sword Ship slowly.

"I've already contacted a reliable rental company nearby, so everyone can rent for three months first and move into university dorms once the term starts."

Taibai Phecda said while sending the company's address and contact info to the group, and then added:

"My daughter and I will go to Evil Extermination University first; contact me through the group if anything comes up."

With that, he prepared to let the students disembark and then leave.

But just then, a voice of opposition rang out:

"Daddy, what's fun at Evil Extermination University? You go back alone, I'll spend these three months with Brother Su Yuan."

Taibai Phecda's expression froze.

He looked down at his daughter, seeing the white-haired lolita clutching Su Yuan's hand tightly, her little face set stubbornly, with a look that couldn't be swayed by anyone.

Old father's heart twitched intensely.

He was about to say something to persuade his daughter when Taibai Yuxi quickly added:

"Anyway, you'll shut yourself away once you get to Evil Extermination University, leaving me to be raised by some aunties in the department. It's better to stay with Brother Su Yuan than with them."

Taibai Phecda suddenly found himself speechless.

He took several deep breaths, looked coldly at Su Yuan, and angrily asked:

"Su Yuan, what do you think?"

Su Yuan: "..."

How else can I see it?

Can't just send Taibai Yuxi away.

Throwing a tantrum with the White Emperor Immortal Body is deadly, right!

"Ahem, I think everything should be according to Yuxi's wishes."

Su Yuan said cautiously:

"You are my mentor, and Yuxi counts as family with me... taking care of her for a summer is no problem."

Taibai Phecda sighed, knowing the situation couldn't be reversed.

He pinched his brow, glanced at the students with varied expressions, and pointed at Chen Nuoyi.

"Xiaochen, make sure you keep an eye on things for me."

Chen Nuoyi was slightly startled, carefully responded:

"Teacher, Su Yuan should have no problem taking care of children."

"I'm not asking you to keep an eye on Su Yuan, but on my daughter, not letting her run wild."

Taibai Phecda explained helplessly.

"Oh..."

Chen Nuoyi quickly nodded.

Then, under the reluctant gaze of the old father, Taibai Yuxi and Su Yuan walked off the Sword Ship, chatting and laughing.

The Sword Ship ascended, carrying the lonely Taibai Phecda away.

After leaving the port, the students followed the phone navigation's directions, taking the subway to the city center to an apartment building.

The rental owner, having been informed earlier, was waiting at the apartment entrance, leading Su Yuan and the others upstairs to assign ten apartments as dormitories.

Each dormitory was adjacent, with an actual area of sixty square meters, two bedrooms, one living room, and a standard layout with large floor-to-ceiling windows.

Originally, there were nineteen students, so ten apartments were not enough, but adding Taibai Yuxi made it just right.

Initially, Taibai Yuxi was hopeful about staying in the same room with Su Yuan.

But influenced by Taibai Phecda's invisible hand, the rental owner strictly required separate living for males and females.

The white-haired lolita had no choice but to compromise and room with Chen Nuoyi.

The best she could do was keep her room next to Su Yuan's, and that's it.

Su Yuan's roommate was still Chu Lanxi, as before.

"Wait, why is the rent so expensive? Is your place a scam?"

Once the rooms were allocated, the students inevitably faced the rent issue.

Seeing the rental owner reporting five thousand per person per month, with water and the Spirit Gathering Array calculated separately, Su Yuan's gaze immediately sharpened.

The rental owner explained helplessly.

As it turns out, this is a discounted rate granted out of respect for Taibai Phecda. Ten Immortals City's housing prices and rents are generally very high.

There are cheaper houses than this building, but they are either lacking in facilities or pigeonhole apartments.

Su Yuan checked online about the housing prices and found that it was indeed the case.

Everyone could only obediently pay up.

But just from the rent alone, it could be seen that living in Ten Immortals City wasn't easy.

Frontline Immortal Dao products shouldn't increase in price, but basic living expenses are definitely more than three times higher than in Taihua City.

Luckily, Su Yuan was earning money from running the Demon Sect; otherwise, he might have to work from dawn till dusk just to barely make a living.

After receiving the rent, the rental owner kindly introduced some precautions for living in Ten Immortals City.

The first was the flight restriction on Flying Swords.

In Ten Immortals City, unless you have a local permit, foreign Flying Swords can't fly within the city.

Without a permit, travel would rely on ride-hailing or the subway.

There are also Spiritual Energy electric mopeds as the last option.

Yes, Ten Immortals City does have something like mopeds, due to its dense population; this place has three sets of transportation systems: aboveground, ground level, and underground.

And whether it's a Spiritual Energy moped or a motorcycle, Ten Immortals City's regulation on them is very lenient.

Because it is just... too slow.

Even when racing at top speed, only three to five hundred kilometers per hour, compared to Flying Swords, it's simply a snail's pace.

Mopeds or motorcycles are mainly used by Qi Cultivation Stage delivery couriers to deliver meals in Ten Immortals City.

Only noble Foundation Establishment Stage couriers can afford local permits to deliver meals by Flying Sword.

"Foundation Establishment Stage courier?"

Su Yuan couldn't help but wince hearing this occupation.

In Taihua City, there are Foundation Establishment Stage security guards, but Foundation Establishment Stage couriers are rarely seen.

Yet in Ten Immortals City, Foundation Establishment couriers have already become the norm.

So once I break through to Foundation Establishment Stage, my cultivation really depreciates rapidly, right!

Of course, this was just a joke; can the Foundation Establishment students from the Ten Great Immortal Sects be the same as Foundation Establishment students graduating from general universities or even vocational schools?

Besides transportation, there were also precautions regarding various prices and daily life.

After a lengthy introduction, the rental owner left.

Su Yuan returned to his room, moving his luggage from his Storage Magical Treasure.

As he moved the luggage, he chatted with the Chi Yuan Sword hovering behind him. He was surprised to find that Chi Yuan actually had a Ten Immortals City permit.

It only showed that Old Deng from Taibai was indeed wealthy, having gotten Ten Immortals City permits for most of the Flying Swords in the Sword Storage Pavilion.

Thus, he just needed to open Kangaroo Crowdsource to start accepting orders.

Suppressing the urge to take a couple of orders, Su Yuan lay on his bed to study the process of establishing a sect in Ten Immortals City.
