She didn't expect the current situation to be so serious. She couldn't find Ye Qingzhu and Bai Xichen for a while. She might as well take this opportunity to find a place to absorb the Water Spirit Pearl, improve her strength, and have some protection.
After much thought, she decided to advance to Bailian Hall. There were inns and rooms rented by cultivators in Bailian Hall. Because of its high security, there were protective formations outside each room, and others could not enter. Therefore, many cultivators often stayed there to advance their cultivation and forge magical instruments with the help of strange fire.
If anyone inside violates the rules and leaks information about the residents, they will be severely punished.
Bailiantang's business is spread across the entire Donglin Continent. His business covers a wide range, including spiritual medicines, spiritual beasts, magical tools, etc. It is rumored that the identity of the master behind him is not simple, and even the four major sects have to give him some face.
When she entered Bailian Hall, the shopkeeper glanced at her and asked, "Sir, would you like to rent a training room or stay overnight? The training room includes alchemy, weapon refining, simulated secret realm training, etc. The accommodation room has a large jade bed to assist in healing and warming the body."
"The shop is divided into low-grade rooms, medium-grade rooms, and high-grade rooms. The shortest rental period is five days, and the starting prices are 3,000 spirit stones, 5,000 spirit stones, and 8,000 spirit stones respectively. But don't worry, each room is protected by a formation, and the shop will definitely protect your privacy and safety."
Leng Qingning: "..." Very humane, it's very similar to a modern hotel.
At this moment, three more monks who looked exhausted walked outside.
"What kind of room do you need for three guests?"
The man with a scar on his left eyebrow said, "Give us a medium-quality training room."
Anyway, Leng Qingning is not short of spirit stones now. With a wave of her hand, she gave her eight thousand spirit stones. Not only could she sleep in the room, but it was also fully equipped, integrating alchemy, weapon refining and cultivation. The shopkeeper then handed her a white jade plate.
After she left, the three monks looked at her back eagerly, then glanced at each other with malicious looks in their eyes.
The shopkeeper raised his eyelids and said, "Dear guests, please do not violate any regulations during your stay in this inn. Otherwise, you will be expelled from the inn and will be banned from entering any of the properties under the Bailian Hall name for life."
The fat man stopped the thin man who was about to get angry and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper is really a joke. Of course we will not do anything that violates the rules."
Leng Qingning inserted her own white jade token into the heavy black iron door, which had a groove on it. After insertion, the formation automatically enveloped the entire room, preventing even a mosquito from flying in.
She immediately sat cross-legged on the white jade bed and took out the Water Spirit Pearl.
The moment she sat cross-legged on the white jade bed, countless spiritual powers poured into her body. The moment Leng Qingning swallowed the Water Spirit Pearl, a tremendous power spread throughout her body and flowed into her limbs and bones.
Leng Qingning closed her eyes and guided the spiritual power along her tendons and veins into her dantian. A large amount of spiritual power continued to wash over her body. Then, the spiritual power suddenly split like a stream, and the other part flowed into the body of the little black snake on her neck. This movement startled the little black snake and it opened its eyes.
Looking at the woman with her eyes closed, the little black snake sighed helplessly, twisted its body and slowly crawled down from her neck.
Leng Qingning's eyelids twitched slightly, and a slightly embarrassed look appeared on her face.
She heard Yan Ci sigh and say, "This stupid woman, doesn't she know that when she advances, she should put the spirit beast into the space or keep it away, otherwise half of the spirit power will be divided?"
It silently grew a circle larger, and the black snake, as thick as an arm, coiled in a corner of the bed, facing the door, so that it could hear any movement outside immediately.
After hearing what was said, Leng Qingning wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She really didn't know that when absorbing spiritual power, the spiritual power would be diverted when there was a spirit beast on the body. She didn't expect that although this guy had a poisonous mouth, he was quite nice to her.
Just as her thoughts were flowing, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her body. The spiritual power continued to accumulate in the blocked meridians, and there were faint black impurities discharged from the surface of her skin. This was the rhythm of attacking the golden elixir.
Leng Qingning gritted his teeth, allowing the spiritual power to impact his golden veins, and straightened them out, continuously guiding them into his dantian. Then a vortex formed in the sky, and all the spiritual power was compressed here. Now had come the most critical moment of the impact.
The coiled little black snake suddenly opened its eyes and looked out the door vigilantly.
"Third brother, the shopkeeper won't discover us coming here, right?" Three furtive men were standing outside the black iron gate. These three were the same three seen in the lobby before, and it was the thin man who raised the question.
The fat man licked his lips greedily. "Don't worry, we were very careful when we came here, and no one saw us. This woman took out 8,000 spirit stones in one go, so she must be rich. We'll take our position and wait for the patrol soldiers to change positions before we take action."
He had never seen so many spirit stones in his dreams. It was enough for them to use for a long time. The other party was just a lone woman, so the three of them had a great chance of winning.
The thin man was still a little uneasy and said, "But...but she is in the top-grade room here. The defense formation outside is the strongest. It will easily alert the people in Bailian Hall. Otherwise, we should wait until she comes out of retreat and leaves Bailian Hall before taking action."
"When did you become so timid? Don't forget, the Zixia Sect is in chaos right now. Even the Bailian Hall has an obligation to help everyone find those remnants. If we are discovered by the Bailian Hall, we will firmly believe that the people inside are remnants of the Zixia Sect. What can they do to us?"
The man with the scar on his brow patted him on the shoulder with admiration and said, "Xin Quan, you are really smart."
Suddenly, an unknown force shot out from the black iron gate and penetrated into the knees of the three people. They all cried out "ouch" and knelt on the ground screaming.
"What are you three doing here? This is not the place for you to rent a room, get out of here!" The guards who were patrolling heard the noise and came over, pointing their spears at the three people.
"Please spare our lives, sirs. We didn't do it on purpose. We suspected that the woman inside was a remnant of the Zixia Sect, so we followed her secretly." After the fat man finished speaking, his eyes rolled around and a cruel look appeared on his face.
The patrolling guards' expressions changed when they heard him mention the word Zixia Sect.
The leading guard pointed his spear at the fat man's throat in a very serious tone, "Do you have any evidence to prove that he is the remnant of Zixia? You should know that if you wrongly accuse an innocent guest, you will be punished."
"How could this happen? This isn't fair. I provided the clue, why should I be punished?"
