Chapter 239 - Li Mengxi’s Arrival, the Arrogant Inn
Chapter 239: Li Mengxi’s Arrival, the Arrogant Inn
The place where the cultivators traded had already become a mess. The cultivators who had been scared out of their wits had already run away, afraid that they would be dragged into this mess.
The corpses on the ground had already begun to slowly turn into specks of light and disappear. The two original culprits had long since disappeared.
Not long after Su Yi and Nie Ling left, three figures slowly arrived at the place where the dispute had once occurred.
A slender figure came before the corpses and stretched out his hand, mumbling.
“The corpses aren’t cold yet. I reckon those people haven’t left too far behind.”
As soon as the slender figure finished speaking, a voice immediately sounded from behind the slender figure.
“Big brother, why do you care about these people? They don’t look like good people. They deserve to die.”
The person who spoke was a female cultivator dressed in plain ink. beside this female cultivator was a kind-looking old man.
“Hehe, Miss, if the Young Master wants to investigate, let him be. After all, we’ve just arrived in North Barren City. We’re not familiar with the place, so it’s good to collect more information.”
Hearing this, the female cultivator did not say anything else and nodded lightly.
Suddenly, the female cultivator saw a familiar bloody hole on the forehead of one of the corpses.
So she squatted down and carefully looked at the wound that had been pierced by the sword finger.
“This is…”
“Little sister, did you find anything?”
The slender figure also squatted down beside the female cultivator and asked.
The female cultivator used her hand to flip over the corpse. When she carefully looked at the wound, her eyes lit up. Then, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
This familiar wound reminded her of a person. Throughout the entire great desolate region, she had only seen that person who could use such a sharp finger technique.
“Su Yi…”
She muttered the other party’s name. The person wearing the black dress was Li Mengxi, whom she had not seen for a long time.
And the person beside her was her big brother, Li Zhengxuan.
This Li Zhengxuan was the one who had lost to Zhao Xuening’s big brother in the beginning, which caused Li Mengxi to always be hostile towards Zhao xuening.
However, now that everyone was a cultivator, although her big brother cared about the outcome of that battle, it was not a big deal after all. On the contrary, after her big brother lost that battle, he worked hard to cultivate.
His current strength was as high as the late stage of the foundation establishment stage, the eighth level.
As long as he broke through once, he would be able to reach the peak late stage of the foundation establishment stage, and from there, he would be able to achieve core formation and head to the central sky region.
Behind the two siblings, the old man was a senior elder of the Li family. He wore a grey Daoist robe, and his eyes carried an incomparably calm expression.
Unfortunately, Li Mengxi’s involuntary muttering was heard by her big brother, Li Zhengxuan.
Li Zhengxuan, who was her big brother, felt like his scalp was going to explode. He raised his eyebrows and asked.
“Why, little sister, do you know this person?”
He pointed at the corpse on the ground, but Li Mengxi rolled her eyes at him and said indifferently, “I don’t know him, but I do know the person who caused such harm.”
She looked into the distance with an inexplicable expression.
…
The two instigators had long slipped away from that place.
At this moment, Nie Ling and Su Yi came to a restaurant in North Barren City. The inn was deserted, completely devoid of people.
However, it made sense. Most of the people in North Barren City were local residents, and few other elegant cultivators came here. Naturally, they did not need to stay in an inn.
At the same time, the inn they found was also the only inn in the entire city. They did not know what kind of confidence the owner had. He had opened an inn in North Barren City for decades, and even if it was deserted, it still did not close down.
“Let’s settle down here today,” he looked at Nie Ling and said lightly.
The latter did not say anything and nodded lightly. Then, the two of them walked into the ancient inn.
As soon as they entered, the first floor of the inn was filled with tables like a restaurant. However, these tables were covered in dust. It seemed that no one had come for a long time.
Moreover, the inn’s owner did not clean it. No wonder it was so deserted.
Walking to the front desk, Su Yi shouted, “is the shopkeeper here?”
As he shouted, they heard a cursing voice.
“Who is it? Why aren’t you sleeping in the middle of the day? Why are you making so much noise?”
In front of the cashier counter, a fat figure stood up, startling Su Yi and Nie Ling.
They thought that there was no one there, but who would have thought that the shopkeeper was sleeping right under their noses?
The fat shopkeeper forcefully opened his eyelids, glanced at Su Yi and nie ling, and then said calmly.
“Accommodation or food? Forget it, I don’t sell food here. What kind of room do you want?”
“Cultivation room, 50 low-grade spirit stones per night. Rest room, 20 low-grade spirit stones per night, and a sexy double room, 10 low-grade spirit stones per night. What kind do you want?”
The fat shopkeeper said slowly without raising his head, as if he did not take Su Yi and Nie Ling seriously.
This made the corners of his eyes twitch. It seemed that it was not without reason that the business here was not good.
He was not interested in the room that the shopkeeper had mentioned. Instead, it was Nie Ling who turned her face slightly to the side to prevent Su Yi from seeing her appearance.
If Su Yi was able to notice it, he would definitely be able to see Nie Ling’s face suddenly turn red after hearing about the sexy double room that the shopkeeper had mentioned. Her gaze was a little erratic.
However, Su Yi did not see it. At this moment, his mind was about to explode. It had been a few days since Little Xie had woken up from her deep sleep. At this moment, she was clamoring in his mind to let her out for some fresh air.
Su Yi, whose scalp was about to explode, hurriedly said.
“I want a cultivation room. What about you, Nie Ling?”
He looked at Nie Ling and asked. He could not make decisions for others.
Hearing this, the latter recovered and said indifferently, “then, I, I also want a cultivation room.”
After saying this, the fat shopkeeper looked at Su Yi as if he was looking at a fool and said coldly.
“100 low-grade spirit stones. This is your key. Also, you have to be careful. Cultivation techniques can not be cultivated in the cultivation room. If it’s damaged, I won’t stop looking for you.”
“…”
He took the key in a bad mood. The shopkeeper was really too annoying. Then, he handed the other key to Nie Ling. The two of them slowly walked up to the second floor of the inn and entered their respective cultivation rooms.
As soon as they entered the cultivation room, the sword spirit Little Xie immediately appeared. These days, she almost suffocated to death. She stayed in the Dragon Blood Spirit-breaking Blade every day and had no place to move.
Most importantly, there were no books like the immortal cultivation anecdotes to read.
Therefore, after he came out, he gave him a proud snort and ignored Su Yi.
Seeing this, he could only shake his head helplessly. He could not expose Little Xie’s existence yet, so he could only let her suffer for the time being. Therefore, he took out an immortal cultivation book from the immortal destiny seal and handed it to Little Xie.
The latter’s eyes lit up. He snatched the book from Su Yi’s hands and ran to the side to read it happily.
He closed his eyes and entered the cultivation state.
[Hint: You have completed one cycle of breathing, and obtained 131 cultivation.]
[Hint: You have completed one cycle of breathing, and obtained 130 cultivation.]
…
Just as he entered the cultivation state, three more cultivators arrived outside the deserted inn.
The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and said indifferently, “what’s going on today? There are guests coming one after another.”
The people who arrived at the inn were Li Mengxi and the others who had also come from afar.
