Chapter 996: Boss, are you ripping our customers off?
Su Chenyin's eyes moved slightly. She had studied this Liuxia City yesterday.
The Gu family - one of the three major families in Liuxia City, controls nearly half of the spiritual mineral resources in the city.
No wonder Gu Hesong was so arrogant, it turned out he was from a noble family.
"He's just an idle cultivator, not a disciple of a famous school." Su Chenyin's tone was flat, but he was secretly observing Gu Yanyi's reaction.
Gu Yanyi seemed to sense Su Chenyin's vigilance and smiled: "Miss Su, don't worry too much. My eldest brother acts recklessly, but it doesn't mean that all members of the Gu family are like this."
"If you don't mind, why don't I host you and have a chat at the Juxian Tower? It would also be my way of apologizing on behalf of my brother." Gu Yanyi invited sincerely.
"We appreciate your kindness, Miss Gu, but we have something else to do, so let's make an appointment later." Su Chenyin politely rejected her words.
Gu Yanyi was so smart that he naturally heard the alienation in Su Chenyin's words.
A hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she quickly returned to her gentle smile.
She bowed slightly: "In that case, I won't force you to say anything. It's not my intention to bother you all. I won't bother you now."
"Everyone, if you change your mind, you can always come to Gu Mansion in the east of the city to find me."
After she finished speaking, she tapped the jade pendant on her waist, and a snow-white crane appeared out of thin air.
Gu Yanyi jumped lightly onto the crane's back.
The spirit crane flapped its wings and flew high, carrying her away gradually, and soon disappeared into the sky.
Su Chenyin looked at her departing back, a smile flashing in his eyes.
Just now, she used the Eye of Void and discovered that the souls of Gu Yanyi and Gu Hesong were extremely pure, without any impurities.
It was also because of this that she did not bother with Gu Hesong and even spoke more to Gu Yanyi.
After all, in this world full of intrigues, it is rare to meet such a pure soul.
"Let's go and find a place to stay." Su Chenyin turned around and looked at the companion beside him and suggested.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they walked slowly along the street.
While admiring the prosperous scene of Liuxia City, they also kept an eye out for any inns around.
As they walked, they suddenly found many practitioners gathered on both sides of the street.
These practitioners were gathered in front of some bulletin boards, chattering about something.
Curious, Mu Xin couldn't help but move forward to see what was going on.
"All the information posted here is about the 'Yuan Sheng Trial' competition!" Mu Xin shouted excitedly.
After hearing her words, others gathered around and carefully read the contents on the bulletin board.
The bulletin board was filled with detailed rules and precautions regarding the "Yuan Sheng Trial" competition.
Su Chenyin carefully read every word on the notice, secretly calculating in his mind.
The registration period for the "Yuan Sheng Trial" ends tomorrow, and the preliminary round will be held the day after tomorrow at the martial arts arena in the center of Liuxia City.
This time and place are quite convenient, she thought.
"The content of the preliminary round of this competition is indeed the same as what the waiter said, including spiritual root qualifications and actual combat competition." Mu Xin said excitedly, pointing at the content on the announcement.
Su Chenyin nodded slightly to show his agreement.
Her eyes continued to scan the bulletin, pondering the specifics of the contest.
"These two tests should not be difficult for us." Su Chenyin said softly, "Our spiritual roots are all top-notch, and we have an absolute advantage in this regard."
"As for the actual combat competition, although it is a bit challenging, we still have time to prepare, and our strength is not bad, so we should be able to pass it easily."
Mu Xin couldn't help but feel encouraged after hearing her words, and an expectant smile appeared on his face.
Yu Zhiyan's eyes fell on the bulletin board and she asked, "What about the semi-finals and finals? Is there any relevant information on them?"
Mu Xin shook his head, looking somewhat disappointed: "It hasn't been announced yet, I don't know."
"But it says that the venue for the semi-finals and finals is indeed Yaoguang City in the Supreme Realm, and it will be supervised by the people of the Blue Temple. This content will definitely not be disclosed easily, probably to prevent someone from making targeted preparations in advance."
Chu Moxiao nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Although the specific content of the semi-finals and finals is unknown, the essence remains the same. It is nothing more than a test of strength, adaptability and mentality. We should focus on preparing for the preliminary round first. Improving our own strength is the key."
Su Chenyin nodded in agreement with Chu Moxiao's statement: "Senior Brother Chu is right, let's find an inn to stay in first, and then go to sign up."
The crowd continued walking along the main street, and the shops on both sides of the street became more and more luxurious.
“This place is full...”
“This one is full too…”
“This looks like a shady shop...”
Along the way, they saw many inns, but they were all crowded.
Just when they were getting a little anxious, Lu Ziche suddenly shouted, "Look, there's an inn over there. It looks pretty good."
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and saw an inn ahead.
The architectural style of the inn is simple and elegant. The overall color of the wall is jade green, and there are two jade green lanterns hanging at the door.
Two locust trees in front of the inn swayed in the wind, casting dots of fluorescent light.
The three characters "Furui Pavilion" on the lintel were written in graceful strokes, with a faint sense of sword energy flowing through them.
Su Chenyin raised his eyebrows. Isn’t this the “Furui Pavilion” that Uncle Chen Hao told him about in front of the gate of Tianyuan Realm?
Such a coincidence? !
"This is the one!"
Su Chenyin and his group walked into Furui Pavilion, which was spacious and bright, with a simple yet elegant layout.
At this time, many practitioners were sitting in the lobby, drinking tea, chatting, or discussing their cultivation experiences.
Behind the counter, a middle-aged man in a gray robe was busy recording something.
Su Chenyin walked forward and said politely to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, is there any room available?"
The shopkeeper raised his head when he heard the voice, his eyes fell on Su Chenyin and others, and looked them up and down.
A warm smile immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, you have come at the perfect time. We just happen to have a few rooms vacant."
"However, since the 'Yuansheng Trial' competition is being held these days, there are a lot of people coming to participate and watch the competition, so the price of the room may be a little more expensive than usual."
Su Chenyin raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "It doesn't matter, as long as the room is clean and comfortable."
Seeing her so straightforward, the shopkeeper smiled even more brightly: "Dear guests, rest assured, the rooms in our shop are famous for being clean, and the bedding is changed every day."
"One upper room costs 5,000 high-grade spirit stones per day. How many rooms do you need?"
"What?" Mu Xin's eyes widened. "So expensive? Shopkeeper, are you ripping us off?"
The shopkeeper was not annoyed, and explained with a smile: "Miss, you don't know that the Tianzi No. 1 room above is built on the node of the spiritual vein. There is a spirit gathering array in the room, which can increase the speed of cultivation by 30%. And..."
He lowered his voice and said, "Each room is equipped with a formation to block prying eyes. It is absolutely private."
Su Chenyin and Jun Yijue exchanged glances.
They really need such an environment.
