Looking at the massive steel jungle that stretches tens of thousands of meters, Lu Ren finally realized why everyone said the rent at Changqing Square was cheap. This place is filled with skyscrapers reaching tens of thousands of meters high, so how could it not be cheap?

Following the navigation prompts, Lu Ren directly used the Communication Spirit Talisman to connect with the housing rental center within Changqing Square. He randomly selected a high-rise apartment, filled in his personal information, completed the identity verification instantly, and after throwing a Spirit Crystal into the delivery portal manifested by the talisman, the unlocking certificate of the apartment was directly bound to the Identity Recognition Card.

"Thirty Spirit Crystals a year, so cheap..."

Lu Ren arrived at the mansion where he rented the apartment, looking at the bizarre graffiti around and the slightly chaotic environment, feeling a hint of insight in his heart.

Indeed, if it's cheap, it naturally has its unique cheapness.

Perhaps all walks of life are present here.

Approaching to swipe his identity information, the Defense Array, in combination with technology methods, verified the identity recognition certificate. After entering the hall, Lu Ren glanced around and found that every part of this mansion was highlighting its dilapidation and disorder.

Lu Ren even noticed some unknown dark brown marks in the corner, and being familiar with such things, he clearly knew these were bloodstains that turned this color after drying.

He could settle for it, Lu Ren even felt it vaguely resembled scenes from a punk-style game he once played.

Lu Ren remained calm, following the prompts to enter the nearby elevator, pressing the button and waiting silently for it to arrive. Suddenly, he heard light footsteps behind him.

The footsteps were not hurried nor light, and Lu Ren could easily piece together in his mind a slender figure. When the footsteps stopped beside him, Lu Ren casually glanced over.

Just over 1.6 meters tall, slender physique, dressed revealingly in ultra-short denim shorts that nearly exposed her buttock line, a pair of high boots, a black sports bra, and her hair was reminiscent of Huaxia's previous retro style, truly quite non-mainstream, with a thick layer of black smoky eye makeup on her face, completely obscuring her appearance.

If it weren't for the Celestial Immortal Post-Heaven Realm aura she exuded, Lu Ren would have thought she was a postmodernist delinquent girl.

What caught Lu Ren's attention was the obvious mechanical modification on this delinquent girl's left arm, almost extending over half of the scapula.

After a glance, he shifted his gaze back, waiting for the elevator to arrive.

Upon entering the elevator, after pressing the button for the 2,800th floor, the delinquent girl who was chewing something in her mouth looked at Lu Ren sideways with slight surprise and said, "New here?"

Hearing this, Lu Ren nodded slightly. Seeing that the delinquent girl hadn't swiped an identity card, he understood that she lived on the same floor.

Because he managed his Qi through the Witchcraft Path to maintain the Celestial Immortal Post-Heaven Realm, Lu Ren didn't appear particularly reserved, nodding slightly, "Same floor?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The delinquent girl nodded, eyeing Lu Ren's azure robe and ancient outfit that clashed completely with the surrounding technological equipment, couldn't help but laugh, "Looks like you came here for the cheap rent? Otherwise, people like you who follow the Classical Immortal Path Attribute wouldn't put up with these honeycomb rooms."

Lu Ren replied, "Actually, strictly speaking, I also come from a technological society, so I'm relatively more accepting of this place. Consider this azure robe outfit as my personal style preference."

After a bit of conversation, Lu Ren learned from this delinquent girl her name was Wanling.

Having walked the path where the Immortal Path and machinery combine, most of her body accepted mechanical modifications while being inscribed with Array Marks capable of deriving endless variations. To walk such a path, one needs an enormous amount of external resources to possess materials capable of bearing the quality of a Celestial Immortal status.

"This left arm is definitely my crowning achievement in combining mechanical modifications with Immortal Path Arrays since achieving Celestial Immortal, and it's the embodiment of my Celestial Immortal status."

Wanling's face was filled with pride, "I spent a lot of effort finessing this path."

At this point, Wanling seemed to have remembered something, suddenly going silent after her constant chatter.

Lu Ren couldn't resist glancing at her, speculating what she was thinking but didn't point it out. Strictly speaking, his mindset was similar to Wanling's.

After all, in the Great Realm's River System, with his Celestial Immortal cultivation, he could be considered a sovereign and ancestor, but here in Border City, he could only be regarded as a small fry. This huge psychological disparity is hard for any Celestial Immortal first arriving in Border City to accept, causing a gradual mindset change leading to complete silence.

Lu Ren didn't say much, as this matter was quite common. Since arriving at Border City, many of their group of Celestial Immortals smuggling over from the Path of Success began questioning their lives.

So far, he has gradually understood the reason for a Golden Immortal smuggling away from the Path of Success, achieving an eternal longevity and an indestructible Golden Immortal Path Fruit. Why not enjoy such prosperity instead of squeezing in hardship at Border City?

Upon reaching the 2,800th floor, entering the room according to the door number, what greeted Lu Ren's sight was unexpected. It was an eighty-square-meter one-bedroom apartment with a warm-tone and subtly modern aesthetic in the decoration.

It even has a specialized cultivation quiet room, which, through the energy-gathering device beneath the Taisheng Mansion, compresses and fuses enormous Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, even accentuating Taisheng's signature energy-collecting particles to accelerate Celestial Immortal cultivation, creating a suitable layer for Celestial Immortal practice.

Sitting in the quiet room, seeing the mist-like essence observable to the naked eye, Lu Ren couldn't help but secretly praise. The rent is already cheap, yet it provides such an energy level for cultivation.

If the rent were to increase severalfold, wouldn't it soar?

Time flowed like water, with ordinary days passing for half a year. Having settled in completely, Lu Ren began pondering how to promote to Profound Immortal.

Reaching the Celestial Immortal Extreme Realm, his Witchcraft Path cultivation also reached its peak, although it was said to directly point to the Golden Immortal Path, the final leap was too challenging.

Turning his gaze to the attribute panel, focusing his concentration on the Witchcraft Path cultivation technique, a message quietly reappeared in his vision.

Three thousand Skill Points, fifty Destiny Points.

To advance to the Golden Immortal Realm, the required Skill Points and Destiny Points soared to an extent that made him feel the gap between this and the current version was too significant.

Every time he saw this number, although the initial shock of the required points had faded, each time he saw it, there was a feeling of dizziness.

It's truly overwhelming.

Once again, unable to stop himself, Lu Ren murmured with heartfelt emotion.

Running on the Path of Success for countless millennia, having reached Border City, he had only gathered over three hundred Skill Points, and as for Destiny Points, they remained at the original four points. Gathering enough points for promotion would undoubtedly require an extraordinarily long time.
