Lightning Is the Only Way

After one month of working, everyone finally got enough money to search for an apartment. The Gravitas had nearly a million Immortal Stones in their coffers, but they had to have around 700,000 Immortal Stones ready for the situation that maybe everyone would sell back their weapons at the same time.

Of course, something like this wouldn't happen, but Gravis always wanted to be safe. He had to be ready for everything, which was why he kept the amount of money ready at all times.

Renting the shop for a century cost him 650,000 Immortal Stones, and he didn't have that amount of money yet to repay his mother without endangering the Gravitas. Yet, judging by how everything looked right now, it wouldn't take more than some months to pay that back.

So, Gravis decided to finally rent their place after one month of working. This would probably delay the repayment of the loan by a month, but a month was nothing for Immortals and Gods.

Orthar stopped new customers from entering the shop, telling them that they would serve the customers inside the shop until everyone was gone. The new customers complained, but Orthar quickly quelled these complaints by telling them that they would only be closed for a couple of hours.

For these cultivators, a couple of hours was about as much as a couple of minutes for mortals. They had no problems with waiting for that bit of time.

After everyone was gone, Gravis, Yersi, and Orthar came out of the shop and closed it. Most of the Formation Arrays deactivated, changing the shop's color and the color of its aura to a lifeless grey, the sign that a shop was closed.

One Formation Array that hadn't been activated before activated now. This was the Formation Array specifically designed to keep everyone out of the building that didn't have the fitting Residency Rings.
