Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 172 - Land Rental

Yao Han asked Zhao Yi for a small favor to find him an empty plot of land.

"What do you want to do with this vacant land later, Brother Yao? You want to buy the land or what?"

"No, I'll rent the land and make a house."

Both of Zhao Yi's eyebrows shot up, his astonished look was obvious. Then he looked outside the room, the color of the sky showing it was already late afternoon.

"Brother Yao, if you want to stay in this city for a while, I can have my workers prepare a special room for you. No need to find or make a house."

Yao Han chuckled lightly, "I have another intention. Manager Zhao will know for himself."

Zhao Yi scratched his non-itchy head, 'I know his temperament is different from his teacher's, but his mindset is very strange.'

"Hm, there's some vacant land here. One of them belongs to our store. You can use that place without paying rent."

"Oh, really? Thank you, Manager Zhao."

Not only Zhao Yi, but all of the Dimensional Pagoda residents were also curious about Yao Han's actions in this Snow Fox City. The difference was that neither Yutian nor Meirong allowed Yao Han to act as he wished as long as it did not harm or endanger lives.

Zhao Yi then led Yao Han towards the vacant land in question. As Yao Han walked with the number one higher-ups of the Jade Treasure Shop of the Snow Fox City branch, he became the center of attention and conversation.

The empty land Zhao Yi was referring to was not very vast, but it was more than enough for Yao Han. All Yao Han needed was a frontal area of land and close to the road and then people.

"You want to make a home here? Do I need to find a builder? Actually, I think it's best if you just hitchhike in our shop, Brother Yao."

"Yes, I'll make a little house here. No need to call a builder, I can make it myself."

Zhao Yi stared doubtfully at Yao Han, "Building a small house takes a short while, while it was already almost night. Are you sure you're not bouncing, Brother Yao?"

"No. Why do I feel like you're being underestimated, Manager Zhao?"

Zhao Yi panicked. He forgot how to behave in front of Yao Han due to Yao Han's easy-to-speak upbringing.

"I'm sorry, please don't take it personally." Zhao Yi smiled stiffly, "I don't doubt your abilities as an Alchemist, but as a builder I don't see you as having any talent in this field at all."

Yao Han chuckled lightly, "I don't even need tools and materials to make a home, Manager Zhao. All right, I'll show you something."

'This young man seems to be really bouncing around. Did he eat wrong at Nagarasa Restaurant?' Zhao Yi responded inwardly.

Yao Han took a half-kneeling position. Zhao Yi only silently watched Yao Han who started to chant the hand seals. Both of Yao Han's hands were enveloped in a green light and upon completion, Yao Han placed his palms onto the ground.

The ground in front of the two shook violently and it attracted the attention of many people. Before Zhao Yi asked what was really going on, large logs appeared from the ground. As if having a thought of its own, the woods formed a small building.

In a short time, a simple one-story wooden house was formed by Yao Han. In some parts of the outer wall of the wooden house there are branches of medium-sized trees that leafy lush. This was Yao Han's 'tree house.

"What do you think, Manager Zhao? Is my little house nice?"

Yao Han almost spouted his laughter when he saw the look on Zhao Yi's face. The man's mouth opened wide, stunned by Yao Han's action just now. The same is true of most people around them.

"I-I didn't know you had this weird ability..." Zhao Yi responded.

Yao Han just chuckled, then walked into his man-made house. The house has only one room. As illumination, Yao Han used Fire Lantern magic.

Not to forget Yao Han placed some Blue Lotus Flowers in several corners of the house, making the entire room in the small house scented and airy.

Yao Han only smiled faintly and Zhao Yi instantly realized Yao Han was unwilling to explain further.

"Ehem, now that you've made this house, what do you want you to do next?"

"I want to open up medical services during my stay in Snow Fox City and this house as a medicinal home."

Zhao Yi watched Yao Han for a while, the longer she grew clueless with this youngster in front of her.

"All right, I get it. Then let me be your first patient. Please check me out."

Yao Han did not see or feel Zhao Yi being sick, injured, or anything like that. The only result of Yao Han's examination was the presence of pill poison in Zhao Yi's body. Using the Poison God Technique, Yao Han easily cleared all sorts of poison.

Zhao Yi was astonished back, Yao Han just held onto his right wrist and drained his Qi. Soon, his body felt much healthier and lighter. The Qi flow became smoothly entered into the dantian. Zhao Yi's practice was now not far from the peak stage Red Core realm.

"You are indeed great, Brother Yao! Ahaha!" Zhao Yi exclaimed happily, "How much should I pay?"

"I don't set the price of the medical services I provide. I'll take whatever payment the patient gives me."

Zhao Yi frowned, "In other words, the patients who come pay according to their abilities?"

"More or less like that."

"Then what if there's a patient who doesn't have something to pay you?"

"No problem, I'll let them receive my medical services for free. It was also because I only planned to stay here for a while. Unless I stay longer, I'll set a price for my services."

Zhao Yi grew increasingly clueless with Yao Han's way of thinking. As one of the people involved in the business world, he judged Yao Han's actions to be futile.

"Why are you doing this, Brother Yao?"

"Hm? Just to have fun and fill the free time."

If the Dimensional Pagoda inhabitants responded with a heartfelt laugh, then Zhao Yi responded with a wry smile.

"Then, what if I said I couldn't pay for your services just now?"

"As I said, I don't care." Then Yao Han laughed amusedly realizing Zhao Yi was intending to joke around with him.

However before leaving Yao Han and returning to the shop, Zhao Yi handed over a hundred ordinary spirit stones. The large pay for one-time small medical services according to Yao Han.

Hints in the form of names about what animals will be close friends MC turned out to be very easy for readers to guess, yes.

Ahaha!

There were actually three choice names, namely Xiao Hu, Xiao Bai, and Da Mao.

However, Xiao Bai's name was too marketable and was already too mainstream. While the name Da Mao is too strange and seems very foreign, so kayak is unacceptable.

So be decided the name Xiao Hu or if interpreted into Indonesian means...

(Please comment on the meaning of the name, for those who want to comment or know the meaning. Wkwkwk-ish).
