Chapter 644 - Four Billion Dollars

Chapter 644 - Four Billion Dollars

"Wow, the dragon in its name is really fitting." Wang Ming mumbled to himself as he looked through the car window.
The mountain itself wasn't anything too special, but the road that spirals around the mountain had the appearance of a dragon, making it seem as though there was a dragon coiling around the mountain.
While they admired the mountain, Chairman Lee pulled up to the gates and spoke to the guards there.
"I'm Chairman Lee from the Cultivators' Association, and I have with me the Demon Sealing Faction. We're here as scheduled."
Once the guards verified his identity, they opened the gates to allow them inside.
"Take your time."
"Thank you."
The moment they entered the gates, it felt as though they had entered another world, as the spiritual energy suddenly spiked up.
Yuan was pleasantly surprised by this. Although it wasn't as powerful as the spiritual energy in the immortal caves, they were only at the entrance of the mountain— the lowest level. He can only imagine how much stronger the spiritual energy gets as they go higher into the mountain.
"Where will our headquarters be located?" Shi Lang asked.
"The middle levels. I tried getting you guys a headquarters at the upper levels, but you don't have even credibility. Don't be discouraged, though, as you can always move to the upper levels once you're ready."
"Furthermore, getting a building in the middle level is already an amazing feat for a new faction with only 10 members." Chairman Lee said.
Everyone there turned to look at Yuan. Surely, he's the reason they were allowed to even step foot inside the Dragon Spiral Mountain.
Sometime later, Chairman Lee stopped the car somewhere in the middle level of the Dragon Spiral Mountain.
"Go ahead. Take a look around and tell me what you think."
Yuan and the others wasted no time and immediately went to look around the place.
"Wow, there are two separate buildings in this place. Is the second one included if we buy the first one?" Wang Ming asked.
"Yes, everything here is included." Chairman Lee nodded.
The first building, which was also the most spacious, had all sorts of training facilities, indoor sports fields, and offices. As for the second building, it was more of a living quarter than anything, as most of its rooms were bedrooms.
Besides the buildings, there were also a lot of empty lands, outdoor sports fields, an outdoor training area, and even a pond, almost like a miniature Jaded Garden.
"The spiritual energy in this area is slightly above the immortal caves… Unbelievable…" Wang Ming mumbled to himself.
And he continued, "I like this place."
"I also think we should take this place. It has pretty much everything we need." Shi Lang agreed.
The others also shared the same sentiment.
Yuan nodded.
"How much is this place?" Yuan then asked Chairman Lee.
"Since this is the Dragon Spiral Mountain, it's going to be a lot more expensive than your typical house. The total will be 4 billion dollars, and you'll have to pay 100 million every year for property tax."
"F-Four billion?!" Yuan was left speechless by this enormous price tag.
Even after selling his Divine-grade treasure, he cannot even afford half of it!
"I only have half a billion…" Yuan sighed.
Chairman Lee then spoke, "You can pay monthly installments if you cannot pay all of it right now. If you need money, our Cultivators' Association will gladly help—"
"It's okay, we can pay for it." Li Jinxi suddenly said, interrupting Chairman Lee.
"You mean our families? Cause we don't have that kind of money." Wang Ming said.
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Yuan, you can pay as much as you can afford. Our families will fill in the gap."
"Are you sure? 3.5 billion is a lot of money."
"You're not buying this place for yourself, are you? Since we're also going to live here, we are obligated to pay our share. It's only fair that way. And although 3.5 billion is a lot of money, it's nothing worth mentioning before the Six Spiritual Families." Wang Ming smiled.
"Then it's decided. We'll take this place." Li Jinxi said to Chairman Lee.
"I-I will let the owner of the mountain know your decision!" Chairman Lee quickly said.
"Hey, Chairman, I'm curious. If the middle-level houses are already this expensive, how much would it cost to live up there?" Hong Xiuquan asked.
Chairman Lee smiled and said, "The houses up there will cost 20 billion at minimum."
"20 billion?!" They were shocked.
"As expected, only the wealthiest could possibly live in this place." Shi Lang sighed.
"That's not true. Even if you are rich, you're not guaranteed to live in the Dragon Spiral Mountain. Only those approved by the lord of this mountain can live here." Chairman Lee said.
"Who is the lord?" Yuan asked.
"He's a very seclusive individual. Even I don't know his identity." Chairman Lee shrugged.
"Then how are you going to contact him?"
"He has a manager who does everything for him, and that's who I speak with."
"I see…"
"Maybe you'll get to meet the lord in the future since you'll be living in his property."
"To own the entire Dragon Spiral Mountain, I cannot imagine how powerful this person must be." Wang Ming mumbled.
Sometime later, Chairman Lee said, "Daoist Yuan, I will have the paperwork ready by the time we return to the Cultivators' Association. You don't have to pay immediately, but you can start moving in starting today if you'd like."
"Alright. Thank you." Yuan nodded.
He then turned to Chu Liuxiang and asked her, "Lulu, do you want to visit your family since we're already here?"
She shook her head, "No. If I visit them, they might make me return home sooner. And it's not like I miss them or anything."
"Then let's return back to my apartment for now." Yuan nodded.
They returned to the car shortly after and began making their way back to the Cultivators' Association.
