152: The mansion – Guanhaiyuan!

Li Qing looked at the pouch and did not reach out to take it.

He just looked at Su Linger and said calmly,

"Miss Su, do you know how to draw a map of the Royal Capital?"

"A map?" Su Linger was startled, then nodded.

"Yes, a little bit."

"Good," Li Qing said.

"Help me draw a detailed map of the Coast of the East Sea in the Royal Capital, especially those mansions for sale that cover a large area and are in remote locations—mark them all for me."

"This money will be your reward."

He wanted to buy a mansion to serve as his new base.

A mansion that truly belonged to him.

Hearing Li Qing's request, although Su Linger was puzzled, she still nodded obediently.

"Alright, Young Master, please wait a moment."

She fetched paper and brush, leaned over the table, and began to draw seriously.

Her technique was very skilled; she clearly knew the geography of the Royal Capital like the back of her hand.

Soon, a detailed map appeared on the paper.

She not only marked several mansions for sale on the Coast of the East Sea but also thoughtfully noted the price, area, and surrounding environment next to them.

"Young Master, it's done."

She handed the map to Li Qing, her beautiful eyes carrying a hint of reluctance and expectation.

"Young Master, will... will I be able to see you again?"

Li Qing took the map, glanced at the delicate handwriting on it, and nodded.

"Naturally."

Li Qing naturally saw the deep affection in Su Linger's eyes; this woman's appearance and personality both appealed to him.

But now he was deep in a quagmire; he would deal with that after solving his problems!

In ancient times, having three wives and four concubines was something he hadn't dismissed entirely.

However, now was not the time.

After saying that, he didn't stay any longer, turned around, and strode out of the Su Family Medicine Hall, his figure quickly disappearing into the thick night.

Only Su Linger was left standing there blankly, looking in the direction he had left, not coming back to her senses for a long time... After leaving the Su family, Li Qing followed the markings on the map and headed straight for the wealthy district in the east of the Royal Capital.

There, bordering the East Sea with beautiful scenery, was where the true nobility and the extremely wealthy of the Royal Capital lived.

He now held several thousand Spirit Stones in his hand, plus a pile of gold notes extorted from Liu Xing, so he was full of confidence.

Soon, he arrived at a brokerage named "Listening Tide Pavilion."

This was the largest real estate trading venue in the Royal Capital, with a deep background and an excellent reputation.

Li Qing walked into the Listening Tide Pavilion, and immediately a brightly dressed, very shrewd-looking manager came forward to greet him.

"This Young Master looks very unfamiliar. I wonder if you want to buy a house or sell one?"

The manager asked with a smile, his small eyes darting over Li Qing, trying to judge his wealth from his clothes and temperament.

"Buying a house," Li Qing said straightforwardly.

"On the Coast of the East Sea, something larger, preferably with a private beach."

Hearing Li Qing's tone, the manager's eyes suddenly lit up.

This was a big client!

"We have them! We have many!" The smile on his face instantly became a hundred times more enthusiastic.

"Young Master, you've really come to the right place! We happen to have a mansion here that perfectly meets your requirements!"

"That mansion is named 'Guanhai Garden,' it's a villa belonging to a wealthy man, covering a full mu. The backyard connects directly to a private golden beach. The scenery is exquisite, and the location is quiet—no one else lives within a one-mile radius."

The manager spoke extravagantly, spittle flying everywhere.

"It's just that, the price..." He rubbed his hands together, showing a "you understand" expression.

"Name a price," Li Qing said indifferently.

"Hehe, not expensive, not expensive." The manager held up five fingers.

"Five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, fixed price!"

Five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones!

This price was enough to make even an Early Stage Spirit Transformation Realm expert hesitate.

However, after hearing it, Li Qing didn't even frown.

He directly pulled out a heavy Storage Pouch from his robe and threw it in front of the manager.

"There are five hundred Spirit Stones inside."

"Now, take me to see the house."

"I want to move in tonight."

Now was not the time to be frugal; the priority was to hurry and call his Clone over.

He still had many resources in his hands.

Su Linger had just given him five hundred of those one thousand Spirit Stones.

Now he had a full four thousand Spirit Stones in his hands.

That calculated to four hundred thousand evolution value.

And the evolution value needed for his next evolution was not much!

The manager looked at the heavy Storage Pouch on the table, completely stunned.

Five hundred Spirit Stones?

He just threw them out without even blinking?

He had originally wanted to give a proper introduction.

After all, five hundred Spirit Stones was no small amount.

He had been a manager at this Listening Tide Pavilion for over a decade and had seen countless princes, nobles, and wealthy merchants. He had seen many more arrogant than this gentleman!

But someone so decisive was truly unique!

Where the hell was this person coming to buy a house?

This was clearly like buying vegetables!

After the brief shock came boundless ecstasy!

Once this deal was done, it would be enough for him to live comfortably for several years!

"Master! You are my dear master!"

The smile on the manager's face could no longer be described as enthusiastic; it was simply fawning!

He lunged forward, clutching the pouch tightly in his arms as if it were his own son. His excited state was just short of kneeling to Li Qing.

"Master! Don't worry! I'll take you to see the house right now!"

"I guarantee you'll be satisfied! If you aren't, I'll smash the sign of this Listening Tide Pavilion for you today!"

His sycophantic behavior, changing faces faster than flipping a book, made Li Qing find it a bit amusing.

However, he couldn't be bothered to care about such things.

Problems that could be solved with money were not problems to him.

Under the manager's extremely diligent service, Li Qing quickly completed all the procedures and obtained the Land Deed for the mansion named "Guanhai Garden."

The whole process was incredibly fast.

This was the power of money.

Riding in the most luxurious and fastest Beast Carriage provided by Listening Tide Pavilion, in less than half an hour, Li Qing arrived at the Coast of the East Sea of the Royal Capital.

When he saw the mansion that belonged to him, even with his calm and unruffled state of mind, he couldn't help but feel a hint of shock.

He saw a vast and magnificent manor standing quietly on the cliff by the coast.

The main building of the manor was a three-story pavilion with upturned eaves and painted rafters, built entirely of an unknown black giant wood. Under the blowing sea breeze, it exuded a steady and ancient atmosphere.

The manor was surrounded by high walls, completely cutting off the noise of the outside world.
