167 Buddha Miracle Temple (1/2)

After curing the old man, Ling Chen spent another two hours walking around aimlessly looking for a place to rent or to buy.

Even though he was currently in the poorest and the most populated region of the Blue Dragon City, all the houses and shops were built in a neat and orderly fashion. It didn't look as bad as one might think.

Ling Chen didn't want to buy a place that was on the busy main road. There was simply too much noise and the streets were simply too crowded with people all the time.

Ling Chen wanted to buy a quiet place that was away from the main road and all the noises. He wasn't only going to use that place just for his base of operation, he intended to use it as his own house as well and spent all his days there until he left. As such, he wanted to get a nice and quiet place.

After a few hours of walking around, Ling Chen started to get discouraged. As he was about to give up and returned to his Inn, he suddenly stumbled into a small alley that was located in between two small buildings. After hesitating for a moment, he walked straight into the small alley where he miraculously found a small shop that was for sale.

”This place is perfect.” Murmured Ling Chen as he was looking at the small shop with a slight smile on his face.

Without any hesitation, he walked into the small shop. There were two levels to this shop. It looked very clean and neat. It wasn't too big nor too small.

In front of the counter was a drowsy and sleepy middle-aged man who appeared to be the shop owner.

”What do you want?” Asked the middle-aged man in a lazy voice as he raised his head to look at Ling Chen. His eyes still contained a blurry and drowsiness and were half-opened.

”If you come here to sell me stuff and scam me with that fake ass Monk outfit, you came to the wrong place.” With a little interest in his face, he lazily added after seeing the appearance of Ling Chen.

”Benefactor, How much do you want this shop,” Asked Ling Chen with an amiable smile on his face. He didn't really care about the middle-aged man's attitude, he just wanted to but this place as fast as possible. It was the perfect place for him.

”It's 20 000 gold coins. No more no less.” Answered the middle-aged man with an annoyed look on his face.

It's already been six months since he put this shop for sale and no one wanted to buy it because of its location. Most people only wanted to buy shops and businesses that were located on the busy main road or on the side of a busy street, not one in a small dark alley void of people.

Furthermore, that fake ass monk looked as if he was up to no good. As such, the sleepy middle-aged man wanted to scare him away with that astronomical price so he could go on with his boring and depressing life.

However, while he was waiting for the fake monk to run away after hearing the price of the house, something unexpected happened.

Bang!

He only saw the monk waved his hand before a large bag filled gold coins appeared in his hand which he dropped on the counter in front of him.

”There are 20,000 gold coins in this bag. You can count it to verify benefactor.” Ling Chen added with a smile on his face.

” This is?” Seeing the huge amount of gold coins in front of him, the middle-aged man suddenly stood up and the initial drowsiness was dispelled completely.

At the same time, his eyes were opened wide to the point where they almost popped out from his eye sockets from shock. The middle-aged man was aghast while he stared at Ling Chen in amazement. He had never seen that much gold coins in his entire miserable life.
