2790 Flying Tailsman Array
“You can go to the resource area to exchange for some items with the points you obtained from the mission.” Dean Yun told them the gist of it. “You can go find out the specifics later.”

Qiao Mu and company nodded and followed Dean Yun to the inner city’s living quarters.

South of the west side was where the students stayed.

There was naturally a distinction between good and bad lodgings. The lowest-ranked lodgings paid 100 spirit currency each month, with six people sharing a room.

Because it was cheaper, this kind of room had basically been snatched up by the people who arrived first.

It was naturally impossible for Qiao Mu’s company to snatch a bargain when they arrived so late.

A less luxurious four-person room was priced at 300 spirit currency per month.

For a more comfortable private room catering to two occupants, the monthly rate stood at 1,000 spirit currency.

Occupancy in this tier was limited, mainly comprising noble ladies and young masters from affluent families willing to invest such a sum.

Individual rooms demanded 3,000 spirit currency each month, while those with access to gardens in small courtyards came at a cost of 10,000 spirit currency.

At the pinnacle of opulence was the flower court, complete with servants, handymen, a large and a small garden, and even guards stationed at the entrance. These courts could comfortably accommodate around 15 to 20 people, with a monthly lodging fee soaring as high as 20,000 spirit currency.

At present, it seemed like they had only sold it to two taels. He wondered which dunce had paid the fee.

“Why don’t you go rob someone instead!” When Little Fatty and Qi Xuanxuan heard this astronomical price for lodging, their eyes turned round as they hollered at Dean Yun in a huff.

Dean Yun laughed out loud and didn’t feel embarrassed. He rubbed his nose.

/One was willing to hit while the other was willing to suffer!/

Qiao Mu found the prices to be staggeringly high, causing her petite face to scrunch up in disbelief. After a prolonged pause, she remarked, “This is even more expensive than the housing costs in the capital of our Divine Province Province.”

/It’s simply outrageously expensive, isn’t it?/
She recalled that Mu Jingfeng had rented a court in the southern district of Mu Jingfeng’s peak, with an annual rent of only 30,000 spirit currency. For others, it cost 20,000 spirit currency per month. While Mu Jingfeng’s rentals might not have been as spacious as these, they weren’t too far off.

/Yun Piaomiao, the subtle profiteer, was truly pushing the limits of expense./

Dean Yun maintained a calm smile and replied, “You can take on missions. If you manage to complete a level-six mission in a month, not only will you earn a substantial number of mission credits, but the fees for advanced-level accommodations will also be cut in half!”

“If you can secure accommodations in a courtyard with gardens, you’ll be living in the most prestigious area! It’s undoubtedly the finest part of the entire academy.”

“There aren’t many of these top-tier courtyards left,” Dean Yun continued, stoking their interest. “There are only four such high-level courtyards throughout the academy, and they are both spacious and exquisite.”

“Can we actually fly?” Qiao Mu gestured toward the distant floating peaks.

Yun Piaomiao turned slightly, scratching her nose with a barely perceptible smile. “That’s my residence, Yunwu Peak.”

“In the entire central district of Tempest City, only a few peaks like those can reach the skies.”

Qiao Mu pursed her small lips. “Is that accomplished through a talisman matrix?”

Yun Piaomiao’s eyes faintly sparkled with excitement upon hearing this. “The young lady is quite knowledgeable.”

“I’m also aware that it’s undoubtedly an aerial jade talisman matrix comprised of 24 flying talismans,” Qiao Mu added, her voice firm. “Furthermore, we used a total of 100 sets of this talisman array.”

This quantity was sufficient to elevate these peaks to their current heights.

Yun Piaomiao’s eyes gleamed with newfound admiration. “Indeed, that’s absolutely correct!”

Over the years, it had only been the young lady who had unraveled the enigma behind it all.
