BXBX NOVEL Chapter 163 163: Buying A House
"Blood Master Scarlett, can you get the reward money from the Thorn Rose Sect and give it to Yoze." Blood Master Steel said to Blood Master Scarlett.
"Of course, I\'ll get the money as soon as possible." Blood Master Scarlett nodded her head.
"Thank you, I will bid you two a good day."
Hearing that he would be getting paid for his service, Yoze bid Blood Master Scarlett and Blood Master Steel goodbye as he went home. When he arrived he saw the worried look on his father\'s face melt like butter.
"Yoze, come eat," Drew said to his son with a smile as he prepared a big breakfast.
Just as Yoze was eating his breakfast he heard a knock on the door and noticed that it was Blood Master Scarlett.
"She works fast," Yoze felt a bit surprised seeing how Blood Master Scarlett had so quickly gathered the reward money.
When he opened the door he saw Blood Master Scarlett wearing the same clothes that he saw her wear earlier with some added blood stains that weren\'t there previously. In her hands was a thick pouch that jingled with metal clashing into each other from her slight movements.
"As promised I have gotten you 100 thousand silver as quickly as I possibly could. I hope you don\'t mind that a majority of it is in the form of gold coins." Blood Master Scarlett said with a calm expression as she handed the money pouch to Yoze.
"That is no problem at all, you just saved me the trouble of having to convert it myself," Yoze said as he opened the pouch to check its contents.
Inside the thick pouch was just as Blood Master Scarlett mentioned as there was almost nothing but gold coins inside the money pouch with only a few silver coins inside.
"That was the money, as part of the reward I am supposed to hand you our elder robe but we currently don\'t have one in your size so here is an elder coin. As long as you show this to any martial artist that knows about martial art sects they will know not to mess with you." Blood Master Scarlett reached into her pocket and took out a red coin with the image of a spiky rose.
"I said previously that I am not interested in joining the Thorn Rose Sect so there is no need for either the robe or coin." Yoze shook his head as he denied grabbing the coin from her.
"I understand, but I still recommend taking the coin as you can sell it or give it to someone else at any point. That means you can give someone the position of being an elder in my sect which can earn you some favors."
"And don\'t worry we won\'t be claiming that you are a sect elder for the Thorn Rose Sect as the coin merely allows anyone who holds it to be treated as a sect elder. Receiving all the benefits of being one with plenty of flexibility." Knowing that Yoze was greatly opposed to the idea of becoming her sect elder Blood Master Scarlett quickly added the special quality of the coin.
"In that case, I will take it." After thinking about the possible benefits, Yoze eventually took the red coin from Blood Master Scarlett\'s hand.
"Is that all?"
"Yes, I hope we talk to each other soon." Blood Master Scarlett smiled before swiftly leaving.
As Yoze watched Blood Master Scarlett leave, he looked at the pouch of money in his hands and wondered how he should spend it all. To this day he still hadn\'t spent all the money he earned from the City.
Now that he had much more money he wanted to spend it as quickly as possible to convert it into useful resources like crystals and food. After making a quick plan he called Jewel, Tiki, and Dreyer over as he wanted to discuss what he was thinking of spending his money on.
"Jewel as you can see I have quite a bit of money now so I would like it if you could help me contact all the people I need to build a house near the city."
"Tiki and Dreyer, I am going to be buying a large number of crystals so that we can focus on cultivating and less time on bit crystals," Yoze told the three his general plan for what he wanted to use the money for.
With 100 thousand silver in his hands, Yoze wanted to focus on buying the two most valuable resources he could. After he took some time to think about it he eventually settled on buying a house.
Even though the Ten Ton Inn had been their home ever since they arrived at New Swampscott City and the inn\'s weight limit was still high enough for him. He didn\'t feel comfortable with staying in a location where a large number of people knew where he lived.
After the incident with the inn being surrounded by rogue immortal cultivators, Yoze felt less and less comfortable leaving his father there. And there was the issue that he was the only person that could stop an attack since Tiki, Dreyer, and Jewel were weak.
Even though they had been training and their progress had been quick it wasn\'t quick enough for them to stop a crazy rogue immortal cultivator or a Martial Grandmaster. Just the fact that the Thorn Rose Cultivation Sect could walk up to his door and demand to see him was stepping on his red line.
There was also another danger that he was worried about and that was abnormal entities. Before he had assumed that if an abnormal entity showed up it would also conjure up a noticeable unnatural event.
But Blood Master Steel\'s existence showed Yoze that not only were there the danger of monsters, immortals, demons, and unnatural events but also abnormal entities that could appear without anyone noticing. After Blood Master Steel lost control and transformed Yoze had even less faith that this inn was a good place for his near-death father to reside in.
Having a house near the city but not inside it would solve some of those problems when it came to external threats. With his own house, he could customize the weight limit to be even higher than the Ten Ton Inn and provide himself with more space to train indoors.
Since his house would be outside the city he could also have his own training courtyard so he could practice his more destructive martial arts without worry. That would mean that he would have to leave his father alone less often and be here in case anything did come.
